blkg reference counting now uses percpu_ref rather than atomic_t. Let's make this consistent with css_tryget.

blk_get_rl is responsible for identifying which request_list a request should be allocated to. Try get logic was added earlier, but semantically the logic was not changed. This patch makes better use of the bio already having a reference to the blkg in the hot path. The cold path uses a better fallback of blkg_lookup_create rather than just blkg_lookup and then falling back to the q->root_rl. If lookup_create fails with anything but -ENODEV, it falls back to q->root_rl. A clarifying comment is added to explain why q->root_rl is used rather than the root blkg's rl.

The previous patch in this series removed carrying around a pointer to the css in blkg. However, the blkg association logic still relied on taking a reference on the css to ensure we wouldn't fail in getting a reference for the blkg. Here the implicit dependency on the css is removed. The association continues to rely on the tryget logic walking up the blkg tree. This streamlines the three ways that association can happen: normal, swap, and writeback.

Previously, blkg's were only assigned as needed by blk-iolatency and blk-throttle. bio->css was also always being associated while blkg was being looked up and then thrown away in blkcg_bio_issue_check. This patch begins the cleanup of bio->css and bio->bi_blkg by always associating a blkg in blkcg_bio_issue_check. This tries to create the blkg, but if it is not possible, falls back to using the root_blkg of the request_queue. Therefore, a bio will always be associated with a blkg. The duplicate association logic is removed from blk-throttle and blk-iolatency.

There are several scenarios where blkg_lookup_create can fail. Examples include the blkcg dying, request_queue is dying, or simply being OOM. At the end of the day, most handle this by simply falling back to the q->root_blkg and calling it a day. This patch implements the notion of closest blkg. During blkg_lookup_create, if it fails to create, return the closest blkg found or the q->root_blkg. blkg_try_get_closest is introduced and used during association so a bio is always attached to a blkg.

To know when to create a blkg, the general pattern is to do a blkg_lookup and if that fails, lock and then do a lookup again and if that fails finally create. It doesn't make much sense for everyone who wants to do creation to write this themselves. This changes blkg_lookup_create to do locking and implement this pattern. The old blkg_lookup_create is renamed to __blkg_lookup_create. If a call site wants to do its own error handling or already owns the queue lock, they can use __blkg_lookup_create. This will be used in upcoming patches.

The accessor function bio_blkcg either returns the blkcg associated with the bio or finds one in the current context. This can cause an issue when trying to associate a bio with a blkcg. Particularly, it's the third case that is problematic: return css_to_blkcg(task_css(current, io_cgrp_id)); As the above may race against task migration and the cgroup exiting, it is not always ok to take a reference on the blkcg returned from bio_blkcg. This patch adds association ahead of calling bio_blkcg rather than after. This makes association a required and explicit step along the code paths for calling bio_blkcg. blk_get_rl is modified as well to get a reference to the blkcg it may use and blk_put_rl will always put the reference back. Association is also moved above the bio_blkcg call to ensure it will not return NULL in blk-iolatency. BFQ and CFQ utilize this flaw, but due to the complexity, I do not want to address this in this series. I've created a private version of the function with notes not to use it describing the flaw. Hopefully soon, that code can be cleaned up. Signed-off-by: Dennis Zhou <dennisszhou@gmail.com> Acked-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@kernel.dk>

Replace a nasty hack with a different nasty hack to prepare for multipage bio_vecs. By moving the temporary page array as far up as possible in the space allocated for the bio_vec array we can iterate forward over it and thus use bio_add_page. Using bio_add_page means we'll be able to merge physically contiguous pages once support for multipath bio_vecs is merged.

To reduce latency for interactive and soft real-time applications, bfq privileges the bfq_queues containing the I/O of these applications. These privileged queues, referred-to as weight-raised queues, get a much higher share of the device throughput w.r.t. non-privileged queues. To preserve this higher share, the I/O of any non-weight-raised queue must be plugged whenever a sync weight-raised queue, while being served, remains temporarily empty. To attain this goal, bfq simply plugs any I/O (from any queue), if a sync weight-raised queue remains empty while in service. Unfortunately, this plugging typically lowers throughput with random I/O, on devices with internal queueing (because it reduces the filling level of the internal queues of the device). This commit addresses this issue by restricting the cases where plugging is performed: if a sync weight-raised queue remains empty while in service, then I/O plugging is performed only if some of the active bfq_queues are *not* weight-raised (which is actually the only circumstance where plugging is needed to preserve the higher share of the throughput of weight-raised queues). This restriction proved able to boost throughput in really many use cases needing only maximum throughput.

The Achilles' heel of BFQ is its failing to reach a high throughput with sync random I/O on flash storage with internal queueing, in case the processes doing I/O have differentiated weights. The cause of this failure is as follows. If at least two processes do sync I/O, and have a different weight from each other, then BFQ plugs I/O dispatching every time one of these processes, while it is being served, remains temporarily without pending I/O requests. This plugging is necessary to guarantee that every process enjoys a bandwidth proportional to its weight; but it empties the internal queue(s) of the drive. And this kills throughput with random I/O. So, if some processes have differentiated weights and do both sync and random I/O, the end result is a throughput collapse. This commit tries to counter this problem by injecting the service of other processes, in a controlled way, while the process in service happens to have no I/O. This injection is performed only if the medium is non rotational and performs internal queueing, and the process in service does random I/O (service injection might be beneficial for sequential I/O too, we'll work on that). As an example of the benefits of this commit, on a PLEXTOR PX-256M5S SSD, and with five processes having differentiated weights and doing sync random 4KB I/O, this commit makes the throughput with bfq grow by 400%, from 25 to 100MB/s. This higher throughput is 10MB/s lower than that reached with none. As some less random I/O is added to the mix, the throughput becomes equal to or higher than that with none. This commit is a very first attempt to recover throughput without losing control, and certainly has many limitations. One is, e.g., that the processes whose service is injected are not chosen so as to distribute the extra bandwidth they receive in accordance to their weights. Thus there might be loss of weighted fairness in some cases. Anyway, this loss concerns extra service, which would not have been received at all without this commit. Other limitations and issues will probably show up with usage. Signed-off-by: Paolo Valente <paolo.valente@linaro.org> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@kernel.dk>

BFQ schedules entities (which represent either per-process queues or groups of queues) as a function of their timestamps. In particular, as a function of their (virtual) finish times. The finish time of an entity is computed as a function of the budget assigned to the entity, assuming, tentatively, that the entity, once in service, will receive an amount of service equal to its budget. Then, when the entity is expired because it finishes to be served, this finish time is updated as a function of the actual service received by the entity. This allows the entity to be correctly charged with only the service received, and then to be correctly re-scheduled. Yet an entity may receive service also while not being the entity in service (in the scheduling environment of its parent entity), for several reasons. If the entity remains with no backlog while receiving this 'unofficial' service, then it is expired. Also on such an expiration, the finish time of the entity should be updated to account for only the service actually received by the entity. Unfortunately, such an update is not performed for an entity expiring without being the entity in service. In a similar vein, the service counter of the entity in service is reset when the entity is expired, to be ready to be used for next service cycle. This reset too should be performed also in case an entity is expired because it remains empty after receiving service while not being the entity in service. But in this case the reset is not performed. This commit performs the above update of the finish time and reset of the service received, also for an entity expiring while not being the entity in service.

It is pointed that bio_rewind_iter() is one very bad API[1]: 1) bio size may not be restored after rewinding 2) it causes some bogus change, such as 5151842b (block: reset bi_iter.bi_done after splitting bio) 3) rewinding really makes things complicated wrt. bio splitting 4) unnecessary updating of .bi_done in fast path [1] https://marc.info/?t=153549924200005&r=1&w=2 So this patch takes Kent's suggestion to restore one bio into its original state via saving bio iterator(struct bvec_iter) in bio_integrity_prep(), given now bio_rewind_iter() is only used by bio integrity code.

In preparing to remove all stack VLA usage from the kernel[1], this removes the discouraged use of AHASH_REQUEST_ON_STACK in favor of the smaller SHASH_DESC_ON_STACK by converting from ahash-wrapped-shash to direct shash. By removing a layer of indirection this both improves performance and reduces stack usage. The stack allocation will be made a fixed size in a later patch to the crypto subsystem. The bulk of the lines in this change are simple s/ahash/shash/, but the main logic differences are in drbd_csum_ee() and drbd_csum_bio(), which externalizes the page walking with k(un)map_atomic() instead of using scattergather.

Pull tracing fixes from Steven Rostedt: "This fixes two annoying bugs: - The first one is a side effect caused by using SRCU for rcuidle tracepoints. It seems that the perf was depending on the rcuidle tracepoints to make RCU watch when it wasn't. The real fix will be to have perf use SRCU instead of depending on RCU watching, but that can't be done until SRCU is safe to use in NMI context (Paul's working on that). - The second bug fix is for a bug that's been periodically making my tests fail randomly for some time. I haven't had time to track it down, but finally have. It has to do with stressing NMIs (via perf) while enabling or disabling ftrace function handling with lockdep enabled. If an interrupt happens and just as it returns, it sets lockdep back to "interrupts enabled" but before it returns an NMI is triggered, and if this happens while printk_nmi_enter has a breakpoint attached to it (because ftrace is converting it to or from nop to call fentry), the breakpoint trap also calls into lockdep, and since returning from the NMI to a interrupt handler, interrupts were disabled when the NMI went off, lockdep keeps its state as interrupts disabled when it returns back from the interrupt handler where interrupts are enabled. This causes lockdep_assert_irqs_enabled() to trigger a false positive" * tag 'trace-v4.19-rc2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rostedt/linux-trace: printk/tracing: Do not trace printk_nmi_enter() tracing: Add back in rcu_irq_enter/exit_irqson() for rcuidle tracepoints
