* block: Implement support for WRITE SAMEMartin K. Petersen2012-09-201-0/+29
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The WRITE SAME command supported on some SCSI devices allows the same block to be efficiently replicated throughout a block range. Only a single logical block is transferred from the host and the storage device writes the same data to all blocks described by the I/O. This patch implements support for WRITE SAME in the block layer. The blkdev_issue_write_same() function can be used by filesystems and block drivers to replicate a buffer across a block range. This can be used to efficiently initialize software RAID devices, etc. Signed-off-by: Martin K.

* block: Consolidate command flag and queue limit checks for mergesMartin K. Petersen2012-09-201-0/+31
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | - blk_check_merge_flags() verifies that cmd_flags / bi_rw are compatible. This function is called for both req-req and req-bio merging. - blk_rq_get_max_sectors() and blk_queue_get_max_sectors() can be used to query the maximum sector count for a given request or queue. The calls will return the right value from the queue limits given the type of command (RW, discard, write same, etc.) Signed-off-by: Martin K.

* block: Clean up special command handling logicMartin K. Petersen2012-09-201-12/+10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Remove special-casing of non-rw fs style requests (discard). The nomerge flags are consolidated in blk_types.h, and rq_mergeable() and bio_mergeable() have been modified to use them. bio_is_rw() is used in place of bio_has_data() a few places. This is done to to distinguish true reads and writes from other fs type requests that carry a payload (e.g. write same). Signed-off-by: Martin K.

* block: split discard into aligned requestsPaolo Bonzini2012-08-021-0/+10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When a disk has large discard_granularity and small max_discard_sectors, discards are not split with optimal alignment. In the limit case of discard_granularity == max_discard_sectors, no request could be aligned correctly, so in fact you might end up with no discarded logical blocks at all. Another example that helps showing the condition in the patch is with discard_granularity == 64, max_discard_sectors == 128. A request that is submitted for 256 sectors 2..257 will be split in two: 2..129, 130..257. However, only 2 aligned blocks out of 3 are included in the request; 128..191 may be left intact and not discarded. With this patch, the first request will be truncated to ensure good alignment of what's left, and the split will be 2..127, 128..255, 256..257. The patch will also take into account the discard_alignment. At most one extra request will be introduced, because the first request will be reduced by at most granularity-1 sectors, and granularity must be less than max_discard_sectors. Subsequent requests will run on round_down(max_discard_sectors, granularity) sectors, as in the current code.

* blkcg: implement per-blkg request allocationTejun Heo2012-06-261-3/+9
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently, request_queue has one request_list to allocate requests from regardless of blkcg of the IO being issued. When the unified request pool is used up, cfq proportional IO limits become meaningless - whoever grabs the next request being freed wins the race regardless of the configured weights. This can be easily demonstrated by creating a blkio cgroup w/ very low weight, put a program which can issue a lot of random direct IOs there and running a sequential IO from a different cgroup. As soon as the request pool is used up, the sequential IO bandwidth crashes. This patch implements per-blkg request_list. Each blkg has its own request_list and any IO allocates its request from the matching blkg making blkcgs completely isolated in terms of request allocation. * Root blkcg uses the request_list embedded in each request_queue, which was renamed to @q->root_rl from @q->rq. While making blkcg rl handling a bit harier, this enables avoiding most overhead for root blkcg. * Queue fullness is properly per request_list but bdi isn't blkcg aware yet, so congestion state currently just follows the root blkcg. As writeback isn't aware of blkcg yet, this works okay for async congestion but readahead may get the wrong signals. It's better than blkcg completely collapsing with shared request_list but needs to be improved with future changes. * After this change, each block cgroup gets a full request pool making resource consumption of each cgroup higher. This makes allowing non-root users to create cgroups less desirable; however, note that allowing non-root users to directly manage cgroups is already severely broken regardless of this patch - each block cgroup consumes kernel memory and skews IO weight (IO weights are not hierarchical). v2: queue-sysfs.txt updated and patch description udpated as suggested by Vivek. v3: blk_get_rl() wasn't checking error return from blkg_lookup_create() and may cause oops on lookup failure. Fix it by falling back to root_rl on blkg lookup failures. This problem was spotted by Rakesh Iyer <rni@google.com>. v4: Updated to accomodate 458f27a982 "block: Avoid missed wakeup in request waitqueue". blk_drain_queue() now wakes up waiters on all blkg->rl on the target queue.

| * | blkcg: implement per-queue policy activationTejun Heo2012-04-201-0/+1

Due to various implementation obstacles, during the recent blkcg core updates, this was temporarily implemented as shooting down all !root blkgs on elevator switch and policy [de]registration combined with half-broken in-place root blkg updates. In addition to being buggy and racy, this meant losing all blkcg configurations across those events. Now that blkcg is cleaned up enough, this patch replaces the temporary implementation with proper per-queue policy activation. Each blkcg policy should call the new blkcg_[de]activate_policy() to enable and disable the policy on a specific queue. blkcg_activate_policy() allocates and installs policy data for the policy for all existing blkgs. blkcg_deactivate_policy() does the reverse. If a policy is not enabled for a given queue, blkg printing / config functions skip the respective blkg for the queue. blkcg_activate_policy() also takes care of root blkg creation, and cfq_init_queue() and blk_throtl_init() are updated accordingly. This replaces blkcg_bypass_{start|end}() and update_root_blkg_pd() unnecessary. Dropped. v2: cfq_init_queue() was returning uninitialized @ret on root_group alloc failure if !CONFIG_CFQ_GROUP_IOSCHED. Fixed.

For blk-throtl, this replaces throtl_data->root_tg; however, cfq needs to keep cfqd->root_group for !CONFIG_CFQ_GROUP_IOSCHED.

This patch moves blkg link logic into blkg_lookup_create(), implements common blkg unlink code in blkg_destroy(), and updates blkg_destory_all() so that it's policy specific and can skip root group. The updated blkg_destroy_all() is now used to both clear queue for bypassing and elv switching, and release all blkgs on q exit. This patch introduces a race window where policy [de]registration may race against queue blkg clearing. This can only be a problem on cfq unload and shouldn't be a real problem in practice (and we have many other places where this race already exists). Future patches will remove these unlikely races.

This duplicates code unnecessarily, and hinders factoring common code and providing blkcg API with better defined semantics.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Stacking driver queue limits are typically bounded exclusively by the capabilities of the low level devices, not by the stacking driver itself. This patch introduces blk_set_stacking_limits() which has more liberal metrics than the default queue limits function. This allows us to inherit topology parameters from bottom devices without manually tweaking the default limits in each driver prior to calling the stacking function. Since there is now a clear distinction between stacking and low-level devices, blk_set_default_limits() has been modified to carry the more conservative values that we used to manually set in blk_queue_make_request().

A cic is linked from both ioc and q and should be destroyed when either one goes away. As ioc and q both have their own locks, locking becomes a bit complex - both orders work for removal from one but not from the other. Currently, cfq tries to circumvent this locking order issue with RCU. ioc->lock nests inside queue_lock but the radix tree and cic's are also protected by RCU allowing either side to walk their lists without grabbing lock. This rather unconventional use of RCU quickly devolves into extremely fragile convolution. e.g. The following is from cfqd going away too soon after ioc and q exits raced. general protection fault: 0000 [#1] PREEMPT SMP CPU 2 Modules linked in: [ 88.503444] Pid: 599, comm: hexdump Not tainted 3.1.0-rc10-work+ #158 Bochs Bochs RIP: 0010:[<ffffffff81397628>] [<ffffffff81397628>] cfq_exit_single_io_context+0x58/0xf0 ...

This patch makes cic removal from both ioc and request_queue perform double-locking and unlink immediately. * From q side, the change is almost trivial as ioc->lock nests inside queue_lock. It just needs to grab each ioc->lock as it walks cic_list and unlink it. * From ioc side, it's a bit more difficult because of inversed lock order. ioc needs its lock to walk its cic_list but can't grab the matching queue_lock and needs to perform unlock-relock dancing. Unlinking is now wholly done from put_io_context() and fast path is optimized by using the queue_lock the caller already holds, which is by far the most common case. If the ioc accessed multiple devices, it tries with trylock. In unlikely cases of fast path failure, it falls back to full double-locking dance from workqueue. Double-locking isn't the prettiest thing in the world but it's *far* simpler and more understandable than RCU trick without adding any meaningful overhead. This still leaves a lot of now unnecessary RCU logics. Future patches will trim them. -v2: Vivek pointed out that cic->q was being dereferenced after cic->release() was called.

* | block: fail SCSI passthrough ioctls on partition devicesPaolo Bonzini2012-01-141-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Linux allows executing the SG_IO ioctl on a partition or LVM volume, and will pass the command to the underlying block device. This is well-known, but it is also a large security problem when (via Unix permissions, ACLs, SELinux or a combination thereof) a program or user needs to be granted access only to part of the disk. This patch lets partitions forward a small set of harmless ioctls; others are logged with printk so that we can see which ioctls are actually sent. In my tests only CDROM_GET_CAPABILITY actually occurred. Of course it was being sent to a (partition on a) hard disk, so it would have failed with ENOTTY and the patch isn't changing anything in practice. Still, I'm treating it specially to avoid spamming the logs. In principle, this restriction should include programs running with CAP_SYS_RAWIO. If for example I let a program access /dev/sda2 and /dev/sdb, it still should not be able to read/write outside the boundaries of /dev/sda2 independent of the capabilities. However, for now programs with CAP_SYS_RAWIO will still be allowed to send the ioctls. Their actions will still be logged. This patch does not affect the non-libata IDE driver. That driver however already tests for bd != bd->bd_contains before issuing some ioctl; it could be restricted further to forbid these ioctls even for programs running with CAP_SYS_ADMIN/CAP_SYS_RAWIO.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The <linux/module.h> pretty much brings in the kitchen sink along with it, so it should be avoided wherever reasonably possible in terms of being included from other commonly used <linux/something.h> files, as it results in a measureable increase on compile times. The worst culprit was probably device.h since it is used everywhere. This file also had an implicit dependency/usage of mutex.h which was masked by module.h, and is also fixed here at the same time. There are over a dozen other headers that simply declare the struct instead of pulling in the whole file, so follow their lead and simply make it a few more. Most of the implicit dependencies on module.h being present by these headers pulling it in have been now weeded out, so we can finally make this change with hopefully minimal breakage.

The test I ran was fs_mark, and it dropped from ~800 files/sec on ext4 to ~100 files/sec. It turns out that dm-multipath always advertised flush+fua support, and passed commands on down the stack, where those flags used to get stripped off. The above commit changed that behavior: static inline struct request *__elv_next_request(struct request_queue *q) { struct request *rq; while (1) { - while (!list_empty(&q->queue_head)) { + if (!list_empty(&q->queue_head)) { rq = list_entry_rq(q->queue_head.next); - if (!(rq->cmd_flags & (REQ_FLUSH | REQ_FUA)) || - (rq->cmd_flags & REQ_FLUSH_SEQ)) - return rq; - rq = blk_do_flush(q, rq); - if (rq) - return rq; + return rq; } Note that previously, a command would come in here, have REQ_FLUSH|REQ_FUA set, and then get handed off to blk_do_flush: struct request *blk_do_flush(struct request_queue *q, struct request *rq) { unsigned int fflags = q->flush_flags; /* may change, cache it */ bool has_flush = fflags & REQ_FLUSH, has_fua = fflags & REQ_FUA; bool do_preflush = has_flush && (rq->cmd_flags & REQ_FLUSH); bool do_postflush = has_flush && !has_fua && (rq->cmd_flags & REQ_FUA); unsigned skip = 0; ... if (blk_rq_sectors(rq) && !do_preflush && !do_postflush) { rq->cmd_flags &= ~REQ_FLUSH; if (!has_fua) rq->cmd_flags &= ~REQ_FUA; return rq; } So, the flush machinery was bypassed in such cases (q->flush_flags == 0 && rq->cmd_flags & (REQ_FLUSH|REQ_FUA)). Now, however, we don't get into the flush machinery at all. Instead, __elv_next_request just hands a request with flush and fua bits set to the scsi_request_fn, even if the underlying request_queue does not support flush or fua. The agreed upon approach is to fix the flush machinery to allow stacking. While this isn't used in practice (since there is only one request-based dm target, and that target will now reflect the flush flags of the underlying device), it does future-proof the solution, and make it function as designed. In order to make this work, I had to add a field to the struct request, inside the flush structure (to store the original req->end_io). Shaohua had suggested overloading the union with rb_node and completion_data, but the completion data is used by device mapper and can also be used by other drivers. So, I didn't see a way around the additional field. I tested this patch on an HP EVA with both ext4 and xfs, and it recovers the lost performance. Comments and other testers, as always, are appreciated. Cheers, Jeff Signed-off-by: Jeff Moyer <jmoyer@redhat.com> Acked-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jaxboe@fusionio.com>
