      blk-mq: make plug work for mutiple disks and queues · 5b3f341f
      Shaohua Li authored
      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.

      blk-mq: do limited block plug for multiple queue case · f984df1f
      Shaohua Li authored
      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.

      blk-mq: avoid re-initialize request which is failed in direct dispatch · 239ad215
      Shaohua Li authored
      If we directly issue a request and it fails, we use
      blk_mq_merge_queue_io(). But we already assigned bio to a request in
      blk_mq_bio_to_request. blk_mq_merge_queue_io shouldn't run
      blk_mq_bio_to_request again.

      blk-mq: fix plugging in blk_sq_make_request · e6c4438b
      Jeff Moyer authored
      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

      sched: always use blk_schedule_flush_plug in io_schedule_out · 5596d0d5
      Shaohua Li authored
      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.

      blk: clean up plug · dd6cf3e1
      Shaohua Li authored
      Current code looks like inner plug gets flushed with a
      blk_finish_plug(). Actually it's a nop. All requests/callbacks are added
      to current->plug, while only outmost plug is assigned to current->plug.
      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.

      lib: make memzero_explicit more robust against dead store elimination · 7829fb09
      Daniel Borkmann authored
      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

        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.

       "This is three logical fixes (as 5 patches).
      
        The 3ware class of drivers were causing an oops with multiqueue by
        tearing down the command mappings after completing the command (where
        the variables in the command used to tear down the mapping were
        no-longer valid).  There's also a fix for the qnap iscsi target which
        was choking on us sending it commands that were too long and a fix for
        the reworked aha1542 allocating GFP_KERNEL under a lock"

      ext4: fix growing of tiny filesystems · 2c869b26
      Jan Kara authored
      The estimate of necessary transaction credits in ext4_flex_group_add()
      is too pessimistic. It reserves credit for sb, resize inode, and resize
      inode dindirect block for each group added in a flex group although they
      are always the same block and thus it is enough to account them only
      once. Also the number of modified GDT block is overestimated since we
      fit EXT4_DESC_PER_BLOCK(sb) descriptors in one block.
      
      Make the estimation more precise. That reduces number of requested
      credits enough that we can grow 20 MB filesystem (which has 1 MB
      journal, 79 reserved GDT blocks, and flex group size 16 by default).

      ext4: move check under lock scope to close a race. · 280227a7
      Davide Italiano authored
      fallocate() checks that the file is extent-based and returns
      EOPNOTSUPP in case is not. Other tasks can convert from and to
      indirect and extent so it's safe to check only after grabbing
      the inode mutex.

      ext4: fix data corruption caused by unwritten and delayed extents · d2dc317d
      Lukas Czerner authored
      Currently it is possible to lose whole file system block worth of data
      when we hit the specific interaction with unwritten and delayed extents
      in status extent tree.
      
      The problem is that when we insert delayed extent into extent status
      tree the only way to get rid of it is when we write out delayed buffer.
      However there is a limitation in the extent status tree implementation
      so that when inserting unwritten extent should there be even a single
      delayed block the whole unwritten extent would be marked as delayed.
      
      At this point, there is no way to get rid of the delayed extents,
      because there are no delayed buffers to write out. So when a we write
      into said unwritten extent we will convert it to written, but it still
      remains delayed.
      
      When we try to write into that block later ext4_da_map_blocks() will set
      the buffer new and delayed and map it to invalid block which causes
      the rest of the block to be zeroed loosing already written data.
      
      For now we can fix this by simply not allowing to set delayed status on
      written extent in the extent status tree. Also add WARN_ON() to make
      sure that we notice if this happens in the future.
      
      This problem can be easily reproduced by running the following xfs_io.
      
      xfs_io -f -c "pwrite -S 0xaa 4096 2048" \
                -c "falloc 0 131072" \
                -c "pwrite -S 0xbb 65536 2048" \
                -c "fsync" /mnt/test/fff
      
      echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches
      xfs_io -c "pwrite -S 0xdd 67584 2048" /mnt/test/fff
      
      This can be theoretically also reproduced by at random by running fsx,
      but it's not very reliable, though on machines with bigger page size
      (like ppc) this can be seen more often (especially xfstest generic/127)
