SCSI devices use host-wide tagset, and the shared driver tag space is often quite big. However, there is also a queue depth for each lun( .cmd_per_lun), which is often small, for example, on both lpfc and qla2xxx, .cmd_per_lun is just 3. So lots of requests may stay in sw queue, and we always flush all belonging to same hw queue and dispatch them all to driver. Unfortunately it is easy to cause queue busy because of the small .cmd_per_lun. Once these requests are flushed out, they have to stay in hctx->dispatch, and no bio merge can happen on these requests, and sequential IO performance is harmed. This patch introduces blk_mq_dequeue_from_ctx for dequeuing a request from a sw queue, so that we can dispatch them in scheduler's way. We can then avoid dequeueing too many requests from sw queue, since we don't flush ->dispatch completely. This patch improves dispatching from sw queue by using the .get_budget and .put_budget callbacks. Reviewed-by:

For SCSI devices, there is often a per-request-queue depth, which needs to be respected before queuing one request. Currently blk-mq always dequeues the request first, then calls .queue_rq() to dispatch the request to lld. One obvious issue with this approach is that I/O merging may not be successful, because when the per-request-queue depth can't be respected, .queue_rq() has to return BLK_STS_RESOURCE, and then this request has to stay in hctx->dispatch list. This means it never gets a chance to be merged with other IO. This patch introduces .get_budget and .put_budget callback in blk_mq_ops, then we can try to get reserved budget first before dequeuing request. If the budget for queueing I/O can't be satisfied, we don't need to dequeue request at all. Hence the request can be left in the IO scheduler queue, for more merging opportunities. Signed-off-by:

When the hw queue is busy, we shouldn't take requests from the scheduler queue any more, otherwise it is difficult to do IO merge. This patch fixes the awful IO performance on some SCSI devices(lpfc, qla2xxx, ...) when mq-deadline/kyber is used by not taking requests if hw queue is busy. Reviewed-by:

mutex_destroy does nothing most of time, but it's better to call it to make the code future proof and it also has some meaning for like mutex debug. As Coly pointed out in a previous review, bcache_exit() may not be able to handle all the references properly if userspace registers cache and backing devices right before bch_debug_init runs and bch_debug_init failes later. So not exposing userspace interface until everything is ready to avoid that issue. Signed-off-by:

Currently, Cache missed IOs are identified by s->cache_miss, but actually, there are many situations that missed IOs are not assigned a value for s->cache_miss in cached_dev_cache_miss(), for example, a bypassed IO (s->iop.bypass = 1), or the cache_bio allocate failed. In these situations, it will go to out_put or out_submit, and s->cache_miss is null, which leads bch_mark_cache_accounting() to treat this IO as a hit IO. [ML: applied by 3-way merge] Signed-off-by:

bucket_in_use is updated in gc thread which triggered by invalidating or writing sectors_to_gc dirty data, It's a long interval. Therefore, when we use it to compare with the threshold, it is often not timely, which leads to inaccurate judgment and often results in bucket depletion. We have send a patch before, by the means of updating bucket_in_use periodically In gc thread, which Coly thought that would lead high latency, In this patch, we add avail_nbuckets to record the count of available buckets, and we calculate bucket_in_use when alloc or free bucket in real time.

atomic_t variables are currently used to implement reference counters with the following properties: - counter is initialized to 1 using atomic_set() - a resource is freed upon counter reaching zero - once counter reaches zero, its further increments aren't allowed - counter schema uses basic atomic operations (set, inc, inc_not_zero, dec_and_test, etc.) Such atomic variables should be converted to a newly provided refcount_t type and API that prevents accidental counter overflows and underflows. This is important since overflows and underflows can lead to use-after-free situation and be exploitable. The variable cached_dev.count is used as pure reference counter. Convert it to refcount_t and fix up the operations. Suggested-by:

When bcache does read I/Os, for example in writeback or writethrough mode, if a read request on cache device is failed, bcache will try to recovery the request by reading from cached device. If the data on cached device is not synced with cache device, then requester will get a stale data. For critical storage system like database, providing stale data from recovery may result an application level data corruption, which is unacceptible. With this patch, for a failed read request in writeback or writethrough mode, recovery a recoverable read request only happens when cache device is clean. That is to say, all data on cached device is up to update. For other cache modes in bcache, read request will never hit cached_dev_read_error(), they don't need this patch. Please note, because cache mode can be switched arbitrarily in run time, a writethrough mode might be switched from a writeback mode. Therefore checking dc->has_data in writethrough mode still makes sense. Changelog: V4: Fix parens error pointed by Michael Lyle. v3: By response from Kent Oversteet, he thinks recovering stale data is a bug to fix, and option to permit it is unnecessary. So this version the sysfs file is removed. v2: rename sysfs entry from allow_stale_data_on_failure to allow_stale_data_on_failure, and fix the confusing commit log. v1: initial patch posted.

sd_config_write_same() ignores ->max_ws_blocks == 0 and resets it to permit trying WRITE SAME on older SCSI devices, unless ->no_write_same is set. Because REQ_OP_WRITE_ZEROES is implemented in terms of WRITE SAME, blkdev_issue_zeroout() may fail with -EREMOTEIO: $ fallocate -zn -l 1k /dev/sdg fallocate: fallocate failed: Remote I/O error $ fallocate -zn -l 1k /dev/sdg # OK $ fallocate -zn -l 1k /dev/sdg # OK The following calls succeed because sd_done() sets ->no_write_same in response to a sense that would become BLK_STS_TARGET/-EREMOTEIO, causing __blkdev_issue_zeroout() to fall back to generating ZERO_PAGE bios. This means blkdev_issue_zeroout() must cope with WRITE ZEROES failing and fall back to manually zeroing, unless BLKDEV_ZERO_NOFALLBACK is specified. For BLKDEV_ZERO_NOFALLBACK case, return -EOPNOTSUPP if sd_done() has just set ->no_write_same thus indicating lack of offload support.

When we're getting a domain token, if we fail to get a token on our first attempt, we put the current hardware queue on a wait queue and then try again just in case a token was freed after our initial attempt but before we got on the wait queue. If this second attempt succeeds, we currently leave the hardware queue on the wait queue. Usually this is okay; we'll just run the hardware queue one extra time when another token is freed. However, if the hardware queue doesn't have any other requests waiting, then when it it gets the extra wakeup, it won't have anything to free and therefore won't wake up any other hardware queues. If tokens are limited, then we won't make forward progress and the device will hang. Reported-by:

The use of the union reduces the size of closure struct by taking advantage of the current size of its members. The offset of func in work_struct equals the size of the first three members, so that work.work_func will just reference the forth member - fn. This is smart but dangerous. It can be broken if work_struct or the other structs get changed, and can be a bit difficult to debug. Signed-off-by:

The time spent searching for things to write back "counts" for the actual rate achieved, so don't flush the accumulated rate with each chunk. This will maintain better fidelity to user-commanded rates, but it may slightly increase the burstiness of writeback. The writeback lock needs improvement to help mitigate this. Signed-off-by:

The previous code artificially limited writeback rate to 1000000 blocks/second (NSEC_PER_MSEC), which is a rate that can be met on fast hardware. The rate limiting code works fine (though with decreased precision) up to 3 orders of magnitude faster, so use NSEC_PER_SEC. Additionally, ensure that uint32_t is used as a type for rate throughout the rate management so that type checking/clamp_t can work properly. bch_next_delay should be rewritten for increased precision and better handling of high rates and long sleep periods, but this is adequate for now.

This works in conjunction with the new PI controller. Currently, in real-world workloads, the rate controller attempts to write back 1 sector per second. In practice, these minimum-rate writebacks are between 4k and 60k in test scenarios, since bcache aggregates and attempts to do contiguous writes and because filesystems on top of bcachefs typically write 4k or more. Previously, bcache used to guarantee to write at least once per second. This means that the actual writeback rate would exceed the configured amount by a factor of 8-120 or more. This patch adjusts to be willing to sleep up to 2.5 seconds, and to target writing 4k/second. On the smallest writes, it will sleep 1 second like before, but many times it will sleep longer and load the backing device less. This keeps the loading on the cache and backing device related to writeback more consistent when writing back at low rates. Signed-off-by:

bcache uses a control system to attempt to keep the amount of dirty data in cache at a user-configured level, while not responding excessively to transients and variations in write rate. Previously, the system was a PD controller; but the output from it was integrated, turning the Proportional term into an Integral term, and turning the Derivative term into a crude Proportional term. Performance of the controller has been uneven in production, and it has tended to respond slowly, oscillate, and overshoot. This patch set replaces the current control system with an explicit PI controller and tuning that should be correct for most hardware. By default, it attempts to write at a rate that would retire 1/40th of the current excess blocks per second. An integral term in turn works to remove steady state errors. IMO, this yields benefits in simplicity (removing weighted average filtering, etc) and system performance. Another small change is a tunable parameter is introduced to allow the user to specify a minimum rate at which dirty blocks are retired. There is a slight difference from earlier versions of the patch in integral handling to prevent excessive negative integral windup. Signed-off-by:

Current partition support of bcache is confusing and buggy. It tries to trace non-continuous device minor numbers by an ida bit string, and mistakenly mixed bcache device index with minor numbers. This design generates several negative results, - Index of bcache device name is not consecutive under /dev/. If there are 3 bcache devices, they name will be, /dev/bcache0, /dev/bcache16, /dev/bcache32 Only bcache code indexes bcache device name is such an interesting way. - First minor number of each bcache device is traced by ida bit string. One bcache device will occupy 16 bits, this is not a good idea. Indeed only one bit is enough. - Because minor number and bcache device index are mixed, a device index is allocated by ida_simple_get(), but an first minor number is sent into ida_simple_remove() to release the device. It confused original author too. Root cause of the above errors is, bcache code should not handle device minor numbers at all! A standard process to support multiple partitions in Linux kernel is, - Device driver provides major device number, and indexes multiple device instances. - Device driver does not allocat nor trace device minor number, only provides a first minor number of a given device instance, and sets how many minor numbers (paritions) the device instance may have. All rested stuffs are handled by block layer code, most of the details can be found from block/{genhd, partition-generic}.c files. This patch re-writes multiple partitions support for bcache. It makes whole things to be more clear, and uses ida bit string in a more efficeint way. - Ida bit string only traces bcache device index, not minor number. For a bcache device with 128 partitions, only one bit in ida bit string is enough. - Device minor number and device index are separated in concept. Device index is used for /dev node naming, and ida bit string trace. Minor number is calculated from device index and only used to initialize first_minor of a bcache device. - It does not follow any standard for 16 partitions on a bcache device. This patch sets 128 partitions on single bcache device at max, this is the limitation from GPT (GUID Partition Table) and supported by fdisk. Considering a typical device minor number is 20 bits width, each bcache device may have 128 partitions (7 bits), there can be 8192 bcache devices existing on system. For most common deployment for a single server in now days, it should be enough. [minor spelling fixes in commit message by Michael Lyle] Signed-off-by: -

In bcache code, sysfs entries are created before all resources get allocated, e.g. allocation thread of a cache set. There is posibility for NULL pointer deference if a resource is accessed but which is not initialized yet. Indeed Jorg Bornschein catches one on cache set allocation thread and gets a kernel oops. The reason for this bug is, when bch_bucket_alloc() is called during cache set registration and attaching, ca->alloc_thread is not properly allocated and initialized yet, call wake_up_process() on ca->alloc_thread triggers NULL pointer deference failure. A simple and fast fix is, before waking up ca->alloc_thread, checking whether it is allocated, and only wake up ca->alloc_thread when it is not NULL. Signed-off-by:
