Add global constant blkcg_root_css which points to &blkcg_root.css. This will be used by cgroup writeback support. If blkcg is disabled, it's defined as ERR_PTR(-EINVAL). v2: The declarations moved to include/linux/blk-cgroup.h as suggested by Vivek.

Currently, blkcg does a minor optimization where the root blkcg is created when the first blkcg policy is activated on a queue and destroyed on the deactivation of the last. On systems where blkcg is configured but not used, this saves one blkcg_gq struct per queue. On systems where blkcg is actually used, there's no difference. The only case where this can lead to any meaninful, albeit still minute, save in memory consumption is when all blkcg policies are deactivated after being widely used in the system, which is a hihgly unlikely scenario. The conditional existence of root blkcg_gq has already created several bugs in blkcg and became an issue once again for the new per-cgroup wb_congested mechanism for cgroup writeback support leading to a NULL dereference when no blkcg policy is active. This is really not worth bothering with. This patch makes blkcg always allocate and link the root blkcg_gq and release it only on queue destruction. Signed-off-by:

The header file will be used more widely with the pending cgroup writeback support and the current set of dummy declarations aren't enough to handle different config combinations. Update as follows. * Drop the struct cgroup declaration. None of the dummy defs need it. * Define blkcg as an empty struct instead of just declaring it. * Wrap dummy function defs in CONFIG_BLOCK. Some functions use block data types and none of them are to be used w/o block enabled. Signed-off-by:

When modifying PG_Dirty on cached file pages, update the new MEM_CGROUP_STAT_DIRTY counter. This is done in the same places where global NR_FILE_DIRTY is managed. The new memcg stat is visible in the per memcg memory.stat cgroupfs file. The most recent past attempt at this was http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel.cgroups/8632 The new accounting supports future efforts to add per cgroup dirty page throttling and writeback. It also helps an administrator break down a container's memory usage and provides evidence to understand memcg oom kills (the new dirty count is included in memcg oom kill messages). The ability to move page accounting between memcg (memory.move_charge_at_immigrate) makes this accounting more complicated than the global counter. The existing mem_cgroup_{begin,end}_page_stat() lock is used to serialize move accounting with stat updates. Typical update operation: memcg = mem_cgroup_begin_page_stat(page) if (TestSetPageDirty()) { [...] mem_cgroup_update_page_stat(memcg) } mem_cgroup_end_page_stat(memcg) Summary of mem_cgroup_end_page_stat() overhead: - Without CONFIG_MEMCG it's a no-op - With CONFIG_MEMCG and no inter memcg task movement, it's just rcu_read_lock() - With CONFIG_MEMCG and inter memcg task movement, it's rcu_read_lock() + spin_lock_irqsave() A memcg parameter is added to several routines because their callers now grab mem_cgroup_begin_page_stat() which returns the memcg later needed by for mem_cgroup_update_page_stat(). Because mem_cgroup_begin_page_stat() may disable interrupts, some adjustments are needed: - move __mark_inode_dirty() from __set_page_dirty() to its caller. __mark_inode_dirty() locking does not want interrupts disabled. - use spin_lock_irqsave(tree_lock) rather than spin_lock_irq() in __delete_from_page_cache(), replace_page_cache_page(), invalidate_complete_page2(), and __remove_mapping(). text data bss dec hex filename 8925147 1774832 1785856 12485835 be84cb vmlinux-!CONFIG_MEMCG-before 8925339 1774832 1785856 12486027 be858b vmlinux-!CONFIG_MEMCG-after +192 text bytes 8965977 1784992 1785856 12536825 bf4bf9 vmlinux-CONFIG_MEMCG-before 8966750 1784992 1785856 12537598 bf4efe vmlinux-CONFIG_MEMCG-after +773 text bytes Performance tests run on v4.0-rc1-36-g4f671fe2.

cancel_dirty_page() had some issues and b9ea2515 ("page_writeback: clean up mess around cancel_dirty_page()") replaced it with account_page_cleaned() which makes the caller responsible for clearing the dirty bit; unfortunately, the planned changes for cgroup writeback support requires synchronization between dirty bit manipulation and stat updates. While we can open-code such synchronization in each account_page_cleaned() callsite, that's gonna be unnecessarily awkward and verbose. This patch revives cancel_dirty_page() but in a more restricted form. All it does is TestClearPageDirty() followed by account_page_cleaned() invocation if the page was dirty. This helper covers all account_page_cleaned() usages except for __delete_from_page_cache() which is a special case anyway and left alone. As this leaves no module user for account_page_cleaned(), EXPORT_SYMBOL() is dropped from it. This patch just revives cancel_dirty_page() as a trivial wrapper to replace equivalent usages and doesn't introduce any functional changes. Signed-off-by:

Storage controllers may expose multiple block devices that share hardware resources managed by blk-mq. This patch enhances the shared tags so a low-level driver can access the shared resources not tied to the unshared h/w contexts. This way the LLD can dynamically add and delete disks and request queues without having to track all the request_queue hctx's to iterate outstanding tags. Signed-off-by:

Currently dm-multipath has to clone the bios for every request sent to the lower devices, which wastes cpu cycles and ties down memory. This patch instead adds a new REQ_CLONE flag that instructs req_bio_endio to not complete bios attached to a request, which we set on clone requests similar to bios in a flush sequence. With this change I/O errors on a path failure only get propagated to dm-multipath, which can then either resubmit the I/O or complete the bios on the original request. I've done some basic testing of this on a Linux target with ALUA support, and it survives path failures during I/O nicely. Signed-off-by:

Commit c4cf5261 ("bio: skip atomic inc/dec of ->bi_remaining for non-chains") regressed all existing callers that followed this pattern: 1) saving a bio's original bi_end_io 2) wiring up an intermediate bi_end_io 3) restoring the original bi_end_io from intermediate bi_end_io 4) calling bio_endio() to execute the restored original bi_end_io The regression was due to BIO_CHAIN only ever getting set if bio_inc_remaining() is called. For the above pattern it isn't set until step 3 above (step 2 would've needed to establish BIO_CHAIN). As such the first bio_endio(), in step 2 above, never decremented __bi_remaining before calling the intermediate bi_end_io -- leaving __bi_remaining with the value 1 instead of 0. When bio_inc_remaining() occurred during step 3 it brought it to a value of 2. When the second bio_endio() was called, in step 4 above, it should've called the original bi_end_io but it didn't because there was an extra reference that wasn't dropped (due to atomic operations being optimized away since BIO_CHAIN wasn't set upfront). Fix this issue by removing the __bi_remaining management complexity for all callers that use the above pattern -- bio_chain() is the only interface that _needs_ to be concerned with __bi_remaining. For the above pattern callers just expect the bi_end_io they set to get called! Remove bio_endio_nodec() and also remove all bio_inc_remaining() calls that aren't associated with the bio_chain() interface. Also, the bio_inc_remaining() interface has been moved local to bio.c.

The only possible problem of using mutex_lock() instead of trylock is about deadlock. If there aren't any locks held before calling blkdev_reread_part(), deadlock can't be caused by this conversion. If there are locks held before calling blkdev_reread_part(), and if these locks arn't required in open, close handler and I/O path, deadlock shouldn't be caused too. Both user space's ioctl(BLKRRPART) and md_setup_drive() from init/do_mounts_md.c belongs to the 1st case, so the conversion is safe for the two cases. For loop, the previous patches in this pathset has fixed the ABBA lock dependency, so the conversion is OK. For nbd, tx_lock is held when calling the function: - both open and release won't hold the lock - when blkdev_reread_part() is run, I/O thread has been stopped already, so tx_lock won't be acquired in I/O path at that time. - so the conversion won't cause deadlock for nbd For dasd, both dasd_open(), dasd_release() and request function don't acquire any mutex/semphone, so the conversion should be safe.

This patch exports blkdev_reread_part() for block drivers, also introduce __blkdev_reread_part(). For some drivers, such as loop, reread of partitions can be run from the release path, and bd_mutex may already be held prior to calling ioctl_by_bdev(bdev, BLKRRPART, 0), so introduce __blkdev_reread_part for use in such cases.

Last patch makes plug work for multiple queue case. However it only works for single disk case, because it assumes only one request in the plug list. If a task is accessing multiple disks, eg MD/DM, the assumption is wrong. Let blk_attempt_plug_merge() record request from the same queue. V2: use NULL parameter in !mq case. Fix a bug. Add comments in blk_attempt_plug_merge to make it less (hopefully) confusion. Cc: Jens Axboe <axboe@fb.com> Cc: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de> Signed-off-by:

plug is still helpful for workload with IO merge, but it can be harmful otherwise especially with multiple hardware queues, as there is (supposed) no lock contention in this case and plug can introduce latency. For multiple queues, we do limited plug, eg plug only if there is request merge. If a request doesn't have merge with following request, the requet will be dispatched immediately. V2: check blk_queue_nomerges() as suggested by Jeff. Cc: Jens Axboe <axboe@fb.com> Cc: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de> Signed-off-by:

The following appears in blk_sq_make_request: /* * If we have multiple hardware queues, just go directly to * one of those for sync IO. */ We clearly don't have multiple hardware queues, here! This comment was introduced with this commit 07068d5b (blk-mq: split make request handler for multi and single queue): We want slightly different behavior from them: - On single queue devices, we currently use the per-process plug for deferred IO and for merging. - On multi queue devices, we don't use the per-process plug, but we want to go straight to hardware for SYNC IO. The old code had this: use_plug = !is_flush_fua && ((q->nr_hw_queues == 1) || !is_sync); and that was converted to: use_plug = !is_flush_fua && !is_sync; which is not equivalent. For the single queue case, that second half of the && expression is always true. So, what I think was actually inteded follows (and this more closely matches what is done in blk_queue_bio). V2: delete the 'likely', which should not be a big deal Signed-off-by:

block plug callback could sleep, so we introduce a parameter 'from_schedule' and corresponding drivers can use it to destinguish a schedule plug flush or a plug finish. Unfortunately io_schedule_out still uses blk_flush_plug(). This causes below output (Note, I added a might_sleep() in raid1_unplug to make it trigger faster, but the whole thing doesn't matter if I add might_sleep). In raid1/10, this can cause deadlock. This patch makes io_schedule_out always uses blk_schedule_flush_plug. This should only impact drivers (as far as I know, raid 1/10) which are sensitive to the 'from_schedule' parameter.

So inner plug always has empty request/callback list, which makes blk_flush_plug_list() a nop. This tries to make the code more clear. Signed-off-by:

This removes the request types and hacks from the block code and into the old IDE driver. There is a small amunt of code duplication due to this, but it's not too bad. Signed-off-by:

These values are only used by the IDE driver, so move them into it by allowing drivers to take cmd_type values after the first private one. Note that we have to turn cmd_type into a plain unsigned integer so that gcc doesn't complain about mismatching enum types. Signed-off-by:

Struct bio has a reference count that controls when it can be freed. Most uses cases is allocating the bio, which then returns with a single reference to it, doing IO, and then dropping that single reference. We can remove this atomic_dec_and_test() in the completion path, if nobody else is holding a reference to the bio. If someone does call bio_get() on the bio, then we flag the bio as now having valid count and that we must properly honor the reference count when it's being put. Tested-by:

Struct bio has an atomic ref count for chained bio's, and we use this to know when to end IO on the bio. However, most bio's are not chained, so we don't need to always introduce this atomic operation as part of ending IO. Add a helper to elevate the bi_remaining count, and flag the bio as now actually needing the decrement at end_io time. Rename the field to __bi_remaining to catch any current users of this doing the incrementing manually. For high IOPS workloads, this reduces the overhead of bio_endio() substantially. Tested-by:

In commit 0b053c95 ("lib: memzero_explicit: use barrier instead of OPTIMIZER_HIDE_VAR"), we made memzero_explicit() more robust in case LTO would decide to inline memzero_explicit() and eventually find out it could be elimiated as dead store. While using barrier() works well for the case of gcc, recent efforts from LLVMLinux people suggest to use llvm as an alternative to gcc, and there, Stephan found in a simple stand-alone user space example that llvm could nevertheless optimize and thus elimitate the memset(). A similar issue has been observed in the referenced llvm bug report, which is regarded as not-a-bug. Based on some experiments, icc is a bit special on its own, while it doesn't seem to eliminate the memset(), it could do so with an own implementation, and then result in similar findings as with llvm. The fix in this patch now works for all three compilers (also tested with more aggressive optimization levels). Arguably, in the current kernel tree it's more of a theoretical issue, but imho, it's better to be pedantic about it. It's clearly visible with gcc/llvm though, with the below code: if we would have used barrier() only here, llvm would have omitted clearing, not so with barrier_data() variant: static inline void memzero_explicit(void *s, size_t count) { memset(s, 0, count); barrier_data(s); } int main(void) { char buff[20]; memzero_explicit(buff, sizeof(buff)); return 0; } $ gcc -O2 test.c $ gdb a.out (gdb) disassemble main Dump of assembler code for function main: 0x0000000000400400 <+0>: lea -0x28(%rsp),%rax 0x0000000000400405 <+5>: movq $0x0,-0x28(%rsp) 0x000000000040040e <+14>: movq $0x0,-0x20(%rsp) 0x0000000000400417 <+23>: movl $0x0,-0x18(%rsp) 0x000000000040041f <+31>: xor %eax,%eax 0x0000000000400421 <+33>: retq End of assembler dump. $ clang -O2 test.c $ gdb a.out (gdb) disassemble main Dump of assembler code for function main: 0x00000000004004f0 <+0>: xorps %xmm0,%xmm0 0x00000000004004f3 <+3>: movaps %xmm0,-0x18(%rsp) 0x00000000004004f8 <+8>: movl $0x0,-0x8(%rsp) 0x0000000000400500 <+16>: lea -0x18(%rsp),%rax 0x0000000000400505 <+21>: xor %eax,%eax 0x0000000000400507 <+23>: retq End of assembler dump. As gcc, clang, but also icc defines __GNUC__, it's sufficient to define this in compiler-gcc.h only to be picked up. For a fallback or otherwise unsupported compiler, we define it as a barrier. Similarly, for ecc which does not support gcc inline asm. Reference: https://llvm.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=15495Reported-by:
