      iocost: protect iocg->abs_vdebt with iocg->waitq.lock · 0b80f986
      Tejun Heo authored
      abs_vdebt is an atomic_64 which tracks how much over budget a given cgroup
      is and controls the activation of use_delay mechanism. Once a cgroup goes
      over budget from forced IOs, it has to pay it back with its future budget.
      The progress guarantee on debt paying comes from the iocg being active -
      active iocgs are processed by the periodic timer, which ensures that as time
      passes the debts dissipate and the iocg returns to normal operation.
      
      However, both iocg activation and vdebt handling are asynchronous and a
      sequence like the following may happen.
      
      1. The iocg is in the process of being deactivated by the periodic timer.
      
      2. A bio enters ioc_rqos_throttle(), calls iocg_activate() which returns
         without anything because it still sees that the iocg is already active.
      
      3. The iocg is deactivated.
      
      4. The bio from #2 is over budget but needs to be forced. It increases
         abs_vdebt and goes over the threshold and enables use_delay.
      
      5. IO control is enabled for the iocg's subtree and now IOs are attributed
         to the descendant cgroups and the iocg itself no longer issues IOs.
      
      This leaves the iocg with stuck abs_vdebt - it has debt but inactive and no
      further IOs which can activate it. This can end up unduly punishing all the
      descendants cgroups.
      
      The usual throttling path has the same issue - the iocg must be active while
      throttled to ensure that future event will wake it up - and solves the
      problem by synchronizing the throttling path with a spinlock. abs_vdebt
      handling is another form of overage handling and shares a lot of
      characteristics including the fact that it isn't in the hottest path.
      
      This patch fixes the above and other possible races by strictly
      synchronizing abs_vdebt and use_delay handling with iocg->waitq.lock.

      nvme: prevent double free in nvme_alloc_ns() error handling · 132be623
      Niklas Cassel authored
      When jumping to the out_put_disk label, we will call put_disk(), which will
      trigger a call to disk_release(), which calls blk_put_queue().
      
      Later in the cleanup code, we do blk_cleanup_queue(), which will also call
      blk_put_queue().
      
      Putting the queue twice is incorrect, and will generate a KASAN splat.
      
      Set the disk->queue pointer to NULL, before calling put_disk(), so that the
      first call to blk_put_queue() will not free the queue.
      
      The second call to blk_put_queue() uses another pointer to the same queue,
      so this call will still free the queue.

      null_blk: Cleanup zoned device initialization · d205bde7
      Damien Le Moal authored
      Move all zoned mode related code from null_blk_main.c to
      null_blk_zoned.c, avoiding an ugly #ifdef in the process.
      Rename null_zone_init() into null_init_zoned_dev(), null_zone_exit()
      into null_free_zoned_dev() and add the new function
      null_register_zoned_dev() to finalize the zoned dev setup before
      add_disk().

      null_blk: Fix zoned command handling · 9dd44c7e
      Damien Le Moal authored
      For write operations issued to a null_blk device with zoned mode
      enabled, the state and write pointer position of the zone targeted by
      the command should be checked before badblocks and memory backing
      are handled as the write may be first failed due to, for instance, a
      sector position not aligned with the zone write pointer. This order of
      checking for errors reflects more accuratly the behavior of physical
      zoned devices.
      
      Furthermore, the write pointer position of the target zone should be
      incremented only and only if no errors are reported by badblocks and
      memory backing handling.
      
      To fix this, introduce the small helper function null_process_cmd()
      which execute null_handle_badblocks() and null_handle_memory_backed()
      and use this function in null_zone_write() to correctly handle write
      requests to zoned null devices depending on the type and state of the
      write target zone. Also call this function in null_handle_zoned() to
      process read requests to zoned null devices.
      
      null_process_cmd() is called directly from null_handle_cmd() for
      regular null devices, resulting in no functional change for these type
      of devices. To have symmetric names, the function null_handle_zoned()
      is renamed to null_process_zoned_cmd().

      bdev: Reduce time holding bd_mutex in sync in blkdev_close() · b849dd84
      Douglas Anderson authored
      While trying to "dd" to the block device for a USB stick, I
      encountered a hung task warning (blocked for > 120 seconds).  I
      managed to come up with an easy way to reproduce this on my system
      (where /dev/sdb is the block device for my USB stick) with:
      
        while true; do dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdb bs=4M; done
      
      With my reproduction here are the relevant bits from the hung task
      detector:

      The problem appears related to the fact that my USB disk is terribly
      slow and that I have a lot of RAM in my system to cache things.
      Specifically my writes seem to be happening at ~15 MB/s and I've got
      ~4 GB of RAM in my system that can be used for buffering.  To write 4
      GB of buffer to disk thus takes ~4000 MB / ~15 MB/s = ~267 seconds.
      
      The 267 second number is a problem because in __blkdev_put() we call
      sync_blockdev() while holding the bd_mutex.  Any other callers who
      want the bd_mutex will be blocked for the whole time.
      
      The problem is made worse because I believe blkdev_put() specifically
      tells other tasks (namely udev) to go try to access the device at right
      around the same time we're going to hold the mutex for a long time.
      
      Putting some traces around this (after disabling the hung task detector),
      I could confirm:
       dd:    437.608600: __blkdev_put() right before sync_blockdev() for sdb
       udevd: 437.623901: blkdev_open() right before blkdev_get() for sdb
       dd:    661.468451: __blkdev_put() right after sync_blockdev() for sdb
       udevd: 663.820426: blkdev_open() right after blkdev_get() for sdb
      
      A simple fix for this is to realize that sync_blockdev() works fine if
      you're not holding the mutex.  Also, it's not the end of the world if
      you sync a little early (though it can have performance impacts).
      Thus we can make a guess that we're going to need to do the sync and
      then do it without holding the mutex.  We still do one last sync with
      the mutex but it should be much, much faster.
      
      With this, my hung task warnings for my test case are gone.
