* move aio compat to fs/aio.cAl Viro2016-12-221-5/+0
| | | | | | | | | ... and fix the minor buglet in compat io_submit() - native one kills ioctx as cleanup when put_user() fails. Get rid of bogus compat_... in !CONFIG_AIO case, while we are at it - they should simply fail with ENOSYS, same as for native counterparts. Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>
* fs: move struct kiocb to fs.hChristoph Hellwig2015-03-251-30/+1

* fs: split generic and aio kiocbChristoph Hellwig2015-03-131-40/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Most callers in the kernel want to perform synchronous file I/O, but still have to bloat the stack with a full struct kiocb. Split out the parts needed in filesystem code from those in the aio code, and only allocate those needed to pass down argument on the stack. The aio code embedds the generic iocb in the one it allocates and can easily get back to it by using container_of. Also add a ->ki_complete method to struct kiocb, this is used to call into the aio code and thus removes the dependency on aio for filesystems impementing asynchronous operations. It will also allow other callers to substitute their own completion callback. We also add a new ->ki_flags field to work around the nasty layering violation recently introduced in commit 5e33f6 ("usb: gadget: ffs: add eventfd notification about ffs events").

* fs: don't allow to complete sync iocbs through aio_completeChristoph Hellwig2015-03-131-4/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | The AIO interface is fairly complex because it tries to allow filesystems to always work async and then wakeup a synchronous caller through aio_complete. It turns out that basically no one was doing this to avoid the complexity and context switches, and we've already fixed up the remaining users and can now get rid of this case.

* aio: io_cancel() no longer returns the io_eventKent Overstreet2013-07-301-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Originally, io_event() was documented to return the io_event if cancellation succeeded - the io_event wouldn't be delivered via the ring buffer like it normally would. But this isn't what the implementation was actually doing; the only driver implementing cancellation, the usb gadget code, never returned an io_event in its cancel function. And aio_complete() was recently changed to no longer suppress event delivery if the kiocb had been cancelled. This gets rid of the unused io_event argument to kiocb_cancel() and kiocb->ki_cancel(), and changes io_cancel() to return -EINPROGRESS if kiocb->ki_cancel() returned success. Also tweak the refcounting in kiocb_cancel() to make more sense.

* aio: use cancellation list lazilyKent Overstreet2013-05-071-9/+18
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Cancelling kiocbs requires adding them to a per kioctx linked list, which is one of the few things we need to take the kioctx lock for in the fast path. But most kiocbs can't be cancelled - so if we just do this lazily, we can avoid quite a bit of locking overhead. While we're at it, instead of using a flag bit switch to using ki_cancel itself to indicate that a kiocb has been cancelled/completed. This lets us get rid of ki_flags entirely.

* aio: make aio_put_req() locklessKent Overstreet2013-05-071-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Freeing a kiocb needed to touch the kioctx for three things: * Pull it off the reqs_active list * Decrementing reqs_active * Issuing a wakeup, if the kioctx was in the process of being freed. This patch moves these to aio_complete(), for a couple reasons: * aio_complete() already has to issue the wakeup, so if we drop the kioctx refcount before aio_complete does its wakeup we don't have to do it twice. * aio_complete currently has to take the kioctx lock, so it makes sense for it to pull the kiocb off the reqs_active list too. * A later patch is going to change reqs_active to include unreaped completions - this will mean allocating a kiocb doesn't have to look at the ringbuffer. So taking the decrement of reqs_active out of kiocb_free() is useful prep work for that patch. This doesn't really affect cancellation, since existing (usb) code that implements a cancel function still calls aio_complete() - we just have to make sure that aio_complete does the necessary teardown for cancelled kiocbs. It does affect code paths where we free kiocbs that were never submitted; they need to decrement reqs_active and pull the kiocb off the reqs_active list. This occurs in two places: kiocb_batch_free(), which is going away in a later patch, and the error path in io_submit_one.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This removes the retry-based AIO infrastructure now that nothing in tree is using it. We want to remove retry-based AIO because it is fundemantally unsafe. It retries IO submission from a kernel thread that has only assumed the mm of the submitting task. All other task_struct references in the IO submission path will see the kernel thread, not the submitting task. This design flaw means that nothing of any meaningful complexity can use retry-based AIO. This removes all the code and data associated with the retry machinery. The most significant benefit of this is the removal of the locking around the unused run list in the submission path.

And this will cause OCFS2_I(inode)->ip_unaligned_aio decreased to -1 in ocfs2_dio_end_io(), thus the following unaligned dio will hang forever at ocfs2_aiodio_wait() in ocfs2_file_aio_write().

* aio: allocate kiocbs in batchesJeff Moyer2011-11-021-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In testing aio on a fast storage device, I found that the context lock takes up a fair amount of cpu time in the I/O submission path. The reason is that we take it for every I/O submitted (see __aio_get_req). Since we know how many I/Os are passed to io_submit, we can preallocate the kiocbs in batches, reducing the number of times we take and release the lock. In my testing, I was able to reduce the amount of time spent in _raw_spin_lock_irq by .56% (average of 3 runs). The command I used to test this was: aio-stress -O -o 2 -o 3 -r 8 -d 128 -b 32 -i 32 -s 16384 <dev> I also tested the patch with various numbers of events passed to io_submit, and I ran the xfstests aio group of tests to ensure I didn't break anything.

* aio: fix the compat vectored operationsJeff Moyer2010-05-271-0/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The aio compat code was not converting the struct iovecs from 32bit to 64bit pointers, causing either EINVAL to be returned from io_getevents, or EFAULT as the result of the I/O. This patch passes a compat flag to io_submit to signal that pointer conversion is necessary for a given iocb array. A variant of this was tested by Michael Tokarev. I have also updated the libaio test harness to exercise this code path with good success. Further, I grabbed a copy of ltp and ran the testcases/kernel/syscall/readv and writev tests there (compiled with -m32 on my 64bit system). All seems happy, but extra eyes on this would be welcome.

* eventfd: revised interface and cleanupsDavide Libenzi2009-06-301-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Change the eventfd interface to de-couple the eventfd memory context, from the file pointer instance. Without such change, there is no clean way to racely free handle the POLLHUP event sent when the last instance of the file* goes away. Also, now the internal eventfd APIs are using the eventfd context instead of the file*. This patch is required by KVM's IRQfd code, which is still under development.

* aio: make the lookup_ioctx() locklessJens Axboe2008-12-291-1/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | The mm->ioctx_list is currently protected by a reader-writer lock, so we always grab that lock on the read side for doing ioctx lookups. As the workload is extremely reader biased, turn this into an rcu hlist so we can make lookup_ioctx() lockless. Get rid of the rwlock and use a spinlock for providing update side exclusion. There's usually only 1 entry on this list, so it doesn't make sense to look into fancier data structures. Reviewed-by: Jeff Moyer <jmoyer@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com>

* signal/timer/event: KAIO eventfd support exampleDavide Libenzi2007-05-111-0/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This is an example about how to add eventfd support to the current KAIO code, in order to enable KAIO to post readiness events to a pollable fd (hence compatible with POSIX select/poll). The KAIO code simply signals the eventfd fd when events are ready, and this triggers a POLLIN in the fd. This patch uses a reserved for future use member of the struct iocb to pass an eventfd file descriptor, that KAIO will use to post events every time a request completes. At that point, an aio_getevents() will return the completed result to a struct io_event. I made a quick test program to verify the patch, and it runs fine here: http://www.xmailserver.org/eventfd-aio-test.c The test program uses poll(2), but it'd, of course, work with select and epoll too. This can allow to schedule both block I/O and other poll-able devices requests, and wait for results using select/poll/epoll. In a typical scenario, an application would submit KAIO request using aio_submit(), and will also use epoll_ctl() on the whole other class of devices (that with the addition of signals, timers and user events, now it's pretty much complete), and then would: epoll_wait(...); for_each_event { if (curr_event_is_kaiofd) { aio_getevents(); dispatch_aio_events(); } else { dispatch_epoll_event(); } } Signed-off-by: Davide Libenzi <davidel@xmailserver.org> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

* [PATCH] optimize o_direct on block devicesChen, Kenneth W2006-12-131-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Implement block device specific .direct_IO method instead of going through generic direct_io_worker for block device. direct_io_worker() is fairly complex because it needs to handle O_DIRECT on file system, where it needs to perform block allocation, hole detection, extents file on write, and tons of other corner cases. The end result is that it takes tons of CPU time to submit an I/O. For block device, the block allocation is much simpler and a tight triple loop can be written to iterate each iovec and each page within the iovec in order to construct/prepare bio structure and then subsequently submit it to the block layer. This significantly speeds up O_D on block device.

By setting the elements sequentially, the write combining buffers on the CPU are able to combine the writes into a single burst, which results in fewer cache cycles being consumed, freeing them up for other code.

* [PATCH] aio: remove kioctx from mm_structZach Brown2005-11-131-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Sync iocbs have a life cycle that don't need a kioctx. Their retrying, if any, is done in the context of their owner who has allocated them on the stack. The sole user of a sync iocb's ctx reference was aio_complete() checking for an elevated iocb ref count that could never happen. No path which grabs an iocb ref has access to sync iocbs. If we were to implement sync iocb cancelation it would be done by the owner of the iocb using its on-stack reference. Removing this chunk from aio_complete allows us to remove the entire kioctx instance from mm_struct, reducing its size by a third. On a i386 testing box the slab size went from 768 to 504 bytes and from 5 to 8 per page.

* [PATCH] aio: remove aio_max_nr accounting raceZach Brown2005-11-071-2/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | AIO was adding a new context's max requests to the global total before testing if that resulting total was over the global limit. This let innocent tasks get their new limit tested along with a racing guilty task that was crossing the limit. This serializes the _nr accounting with a spinlock It also switches to using unsigned long for the global totals. Individual contexts are still limited to an unsigned int's worth of requests by the syscall interface. The problem and fix were verified with a simple program that spun creating and destroying a context while holding on to another long lived context. Before the patch a task creating a tiny context could get a spurious EAGAIN if it raced with a task creating a very large context that overran the limit.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Only one of the run or kick path is supposed to put an iocb on the run list. If both of them do it than one of them can end up referencing a freed iocb. The kick path could delete the task_list item from the wait queue before getting the ctx_lock and putting the iocb on the run list. The run path was testing the task_list item outside the lock so that it could catch ki_retry methods that return -EIOCBRETRY *without* putting the iocb on a wait queue and promising to call kick_iocb. This unlocked check could then race with the kick path to cause both to try and put the iocb on the run list. The patch stops the run path from testing task_list by requring that any ki_retry that returns -EIOCBRETRY *must* guarantee that kick_iocb() will be called in the future. aio_p{read,write}, the only in-tree -EIOCBRETRY users, are updated.
