Linux-2.6.12-rc2 Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it.

[PATCH] elevator: move the backmerging logic into the elevator core Right now, every IO scheduler implements its own backmerging (except for noop, which does no merging). That results in duplicated code for essentially the same operation, which is never a good thing. This patch moves the backmerging out of the io schedulers and into the elevator core. We save 1.6kb of text and as a bonus get backmerging for noop as well. Win-win! Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@suse.de>

tracing/events: convert block trace points to TRACE_EVENT() TRACE_EVENT is a more generic way to define tracepoints. Doing so adds these new capabilities to this tracepoint: - zero-copy and per-cpu splice() tracing - binary tracing without printf overhead - structured logging records exposed under /debug/tracing/events - trace events embedded in function tracer output and other plugins - user-defined, per tracepoint filter expressions ... Cons: - no dev_t info for the output of plug, unplug_timer and unplug_io events. no dev_t info for getrq and sleeprq events if bio == NULL. no dev_t info for rq_abort,...,rq_requeue events if rq->rq_disk == NULL. This is mainly because we can't get the deivce from a request queue. But this may change in the future. - A packet command is converted to a string in TP_assign, not TP_print. While blktrace do the convertion just before output. Since pc requests should be rather rare, this is not a big issue. - In blktrace, an event can have 2 different print formats, but a TRACE_EVENT has a unique format, which means we have some unused data in a trace entry. The overhead is minimized by using __dynamic_array() instead of __array(). I've benchmarked the ioctl blktrace vs the splice based TRACE_EVENT tracing: dd dd + ioctl blktrace dd + TRACE_EVENT (splice) 1 7.36s, 42.7 MB/s 7.50s, 42.0 MB/s 7.41s, 42.5 MB/s 2 7.43s, 42.3 MB/s 7.48s, 42.1 MB/s 7.43s, 42.4 MB/s 3 7.38s, 42.6 MB/s 7.45s, 42.2 MB/s 7.41s, 42.5 MB/s So the overhead of tracing is very small, and no regression when using those trace events vs blktrace. And the binary output of TRACE_EVENT is much smaller than blktrace: # ls -l -h -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 8.8M 06-09 13:24 sda.blktrace.0 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 195K 06-09 13:24 sda.blktrace.1 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2.7M 06-09 13:25 trace_splice.out Following are some comparisons between TRACE_EVENT and blktrace: plug: kjournald-480 [000] 303.084981: block_plug: [kjournald] kjournald-480 [000] 303.084981: 8,0 P N [kjournald] unplug_io: kblockd/0-118 [000] 300.052973: block_unplug_io: [kblockd/0] 1 kblockd/0-118 [000] 300.052974: 8,0 U N [kblockd/0] 1 remap: kjournald-480 [000] 303.085042: block_remap: 8,0 W 102736992 + 8 <- (8,8) 33384 kjournald-480 [000] 303.085043: 8,0 A W 102736992 + 8 <- (8,8) 33384 bio_backmerge: kjournald-480 [000] 303.085086: block_bio_backmerge: 8,0 W 102737032 + 8 [kjournald] kjournald-480 [000] 303.085086: 8,0 M W 102737032 + 8 [kjournald] getrq: kjournald-480 [000] 303.084974: block_getrq: 8,0 W 102736984 + 8 [kjournald] kjournald-480 [000] 303.084975: 8,0 G W 102736984 + 8 [kjournald] bash-2066 [001] 1072.953770: 8,0 G N [bash] bash-2066 [001] 1072.953773: block_getrq: 0,0 N 0 + 0 [bash] rq_complete: konsole-2065 [001] 300.053184: block_rq_complete: 8,0 W () 103669040 + 16 [0] konsole-2065 [001] 300.053191: 8,0 C W 103669040 + 16 [0] ksoftirqd/1-7 [001] 1072.953811: 8,0 C N (5a 00 08 00 00 00 00 00 24 00) [0] ksoftirqd/1-7 [001] 1072.953813: block_rq_complete: 0,0 N (5a 00 08 00 00 00 00 00 24 00) 0 + 0 [0] rq_insert: kjournald-480 [000] 303.084985: block_rq_insert: 8,0 W 0 () 102736984 + 8 [kjournald] kjournald-480 [000] 303.084986: 8,0 I W 102736984 + 8 [kjournald] Changelog from v2 -> v3: - use the newly introduced __dynamic_array().

block: don't request module during elevator init Block layer allows selecting an elevator which is built as a module to be selected as system default via kernel param "elevator=". This is achieved by automatically invoking request_module() whenever a new block device is initialized and the elevator is not available. This led to an interesting deadlock problem involving async and module init. Block device probing running off an async job invokes request_module(). While the module is being loaded, it performs async_synchronize_full() which ends up waiting for the async job which is already waiting for request_module() to finish, leading to deadlock. Invoking request_module() from deep in block device init path is already nasty in itself. It seems best to avoid these situations from the beginning by moving on-demand module loading out of block init path. The previous patch made sure that the default elevator module is loaded early during boot if available. This patch removes on-demand loading of the default elevator from elevator init path. As the module would have been loaded during boot, userland-visible behavior difference should be minimal. For more details, please refer to the following thread. http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel/1420814 v2: The bool parameter was named @request_module which conflicted with request_module(). This built okay w/ CONFIG_MODULES because request_module() was defined as a macro. W/o CONFIG_MODULES, it causes build breakage. Rename the parameter to @try_loading. Reported by Fengguang.

block: don't request module during elevator init Block layer allows selecting an elevator which is built as a module to be selected as system default via kernel param "elevator=". This is achieved by automatically invoking request_module() whenever a new block device is initialized and the elevator is not available. This led to an interesting deadlock problem involving async and module init. Block device probing running off an async job invokes request_module(). While the module is being loaded, it performs async_synchronize_full() which ends up waiting for the async job which is already waiting for request_module() to finish, leading to deadlock. Invoking request_module() from deep in block device init path is already nasty in itself. It seems best to avoid these situations from the beginning by moving on-demand module loading out of block init path. The previous patch made sure that the default elevator module is loaded early during boot if available. This patch removes on-demand loading of the default elevator from elevator init path. As the module would have been loaded during boot, userland-visible behavior difference should be minimal. For more details, please refer to the following thread. http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel/1420814 v2: The bool parameter was named @request_module which conflicted with request_module(). This built okay w/ CONFIG_MODULES because request_module() was defined as a macro. W/o CONFIG_MODULES, it causes build breakage. Rename the parameter to @try_loading. Reported by Fengguang.

[BLOCK] elevator: default choice selection My previous default iosched patch did a poor job dealing with the 'elevator=' boot-time option. The old behavior falls back to the compiled-in default if the requested one is not registered at boot time. This patch dynamically evaluates which default to use, and emits a suitable error message when the requested scheduler is not available. It also does the 'as' -> 'anticipatory' conversion before elevator registration, which along with a modified registration function, allows it to correctly indicate which default scheduler is in use. Tested for a range of boot options on 2.6.16-rc1-mm2. Signed-off-by: Nate Diller <nate.diller@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@suse.de>

[PATCH] Don't pass boot parameters to argv_init[] The boot cmdline is parsed in parse_early_param() and parse_args(,unknown_bootoption). And __setup() is used in obsolete_checksetup(). start_kernel() -> parse_args() -> unknown_bootoption() -> obsolete_checksetup() If __setup()'s callback (->setup_func()) returns 1 in obsolete_checksetup(), obsolete_checksetup() thinks a parameter was handled. If ->setup_func() returns 0, obsolete_checksetup() tries other ->setup_func(). If all ->setup_func() that matched a parameter returns 0, a parameter is seted to argv_init[]. Then, when runing /sbin/init or init=app, argv_init[] is passed to the app. If the app doesn't ignore those arguments, it will warning and exit.

init, block: try to load default elevator module early during boot This patch adds default module loading and uses it to load the default block elevator. During boot, it's called right after initramfs or initrd is made available and right before control is passed to userland. This ensures that as long as the modules are available in the usual places in initramfs, initrd or the root filesystem, the default modules are loaded as soon as possible. This will replace the on-demand elevator module loading from elevator init path. v2: Fixed build breakage when !CONFIG_BLOCK. Reported by kbuild test robot.

However, sysfs registration doesn't require the elevator to be attached, so there is no reason to do the "detach, attach new, register, maybe re-attach old" sequence. It can just do "register, detach, attach". * elevator_init_queue() is updated to set ->elevator_data directly and return 0 / -errno. This allows elevator_exit() on an unattached elevator. * __elv_unregister_queue() which was necessary to unregister unattached q is removed in favor of __elv_register_queue() which can register unattached q. * elevator_attach() becomes a single assignment and obscures more then it helps.

[BLOCK] Reimplement elevator switch This patch reimplements elevator switch. This patch assumes generic dispatch queue patchset is applied. * Each request is tagged with REQ_ELVPRIV flag if it has its elevator private data set. * Requests which doesn't have REQ_ELVPRIV flag set never enter iosched. They are always directly back inserted to dispatch queue. Of course, elevator_put_req_fn is called only for requests which have its REQ_ELVPRIV set. * Request queue maintains the current number of requests which have its elevator data set (elevator_set_req_fn called) in q->rq->elvpriv. * If a request queue has QUEUE_FLAG_BYPASS set, elevator private data is not allocated for new requests. To switch to another iosched, we set QUEUE_FLAG_BYPASS and wait until elvpriv goes to zero; then, we attach the new iosched and clears QUEUE_FLAG_BYPASS. New implementation is much simpler and main code paths are less cluttered, IMHO. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <htejun@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@suse.de>

block: don't request module during elevator init Block layer allows selecting an elevator which is built as a module to be selected as system default via kernel param "elevator=". This is achieved by automatically invoking request_module() whenever a new block device is initialized and the elevator is not available. This led to an interesting deadlock problem involving async and module init. Block device probing running off an async job invokes request_module(). While the module is being loaded, it performs async_synchronize_full() which ends up waiting for the async job which is already waiting for request_module() to finish, leading to deadlock. Invoking request_module() from deep in block device init path is already nasty in itself. It seems best to avoid these situations from the beginning by moving on-demand module loading out of block init path. The previous patch made sure that the default elevator module is loaded early during boot if available. This patch removes on-demand loading of the default elevator from elevator init path. As the module would have been loaded during boot, userland-visible behavior difference should be minimal. For more details, please refer to the following thread. http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel/1420814 v2: The bool parameter was named @request_module which conflicted with request_module().

[BLOCK] elevator: allow default scheduler to potentially be modular Jens has decided that allowing the default scheduler to be a module is a bug, and should not be allowed under kconfig. However, I find that scenario useful for debugging, and wish for the kernel to be able to handle this situation without OOPSing, if I enable such an option in the .config directly. This patch dynamically checks for the presence of the compiled-in default, and falls back to no-op, emitting a suitable error message, when the default is not available Tested for a range of boot options on 2.6.16-rc1-mm2.

[BLOCK] elevator: default choice selection My previous default iosched patch did a poor job dealing with the 'elevator=' boot-time option. The old behavior falls back to the compiled-in default if the requested one is not registered at boot time. This patch dynamically evaluates which default to use, and emits a suitable error message when the requested scheduler is not available. It also does the 'as' -> 'anticipatory' conversion before elevator registration, which along with a modified registration function, allows it to correctly indicate which default scheduler is in use.

elevator: Fix a race in elevator switching There's a race between elevator switching and normal io operation. Because the allocation of struct elevator_queue and struct elevator_data don't in a atomic operation.So there are have chance to use NULL ->elevator_data. For example: Thread A: Thread B blk_queu_bio elevator_switch spin_lock_irq(q->queue_block) elevator_alloc elv_merge elevator_init_fn Because call elevator_alloc, it can't hold queue_lock and the ->elevator_data is NULL.So at the same time, threadA call elv_merge and nedd some info of elevator_data.So the crash happened. Move the elevator_alloc into func elevator_init_fn, it make the operations in a atomic operation. Using the follow method can easy reproduce this bug 1:dd if=/dev/sdb of=/dev/null 2:while true;do echo noop > scheduler;echo deadline > scheduler;done The test method also use this method.

The patch states that it is safe to reuse queuelist at completion time, since it is no longer used. However, that is not true if a device is using block enabled tagging. If that is the case, then the queuelist is reused to keep track of busy tags. If a device also ended up using softirq completions, we'd reuse ->queuelist for the IPI handling while block tagging was still using it. Boom. Fix this by adding a new ipi_list list head, and share the memory used with the request hash table. The hash table is never used after the request is moved to the dispatch list, which happens long before any potential completion of the request. Add a new request bit for this, so we don't have cases that check rq->hash while it could potentially have been reused for the IPI completion. Reported-by: Martin K.

The patch states that it is safe to reuse queuelist at completion time, since it is no longer used. However, that is not true if a device is using block enabled tagging. If that is the case, then the queuelist is reused to keep track of busy tags. If a device also ended up using softirq completions, we'd reuse ->queuelist for the IPI handling while block tagging was still using it. Boom. Fix this by adding a new ipi_list list head, and share the memory used with the request hash table. The hash table is never used after the request is moved to the dispatch list, which happens long before any potential completion of the request. Add a new request bit for this, so we don't have cases that check rq->hash while it could potentially have been reused for the IPI completion. Reported-by: Martin K.

[PATCH] elevator: move the backmerging logic into the elevator core Right now, every IO scheduler implements its own backmerging (except for noop, which does no merging). That results in duplicated code for essentially the same operation, which is never a good thing. This patch moves the backmerging out of the io schedulers and into the elevator core. We save 1.6kb of text and as a bonus get backmerging for noop as well. Win-win! Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@suse.de>

Merge branch 'for-3.9/core' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux-block Pull block IO core bits from Jens Axboe: "Below are the core block IO bits for 3.9. It was delayed a few days since my workstation kept crashing every 2-8h after pulling it into current -git, but turns out it is a bug in the new pstate code (divide by zero, will report separately). In any case, it contains: - The big cfq/blkcg update from Tejun and and Vivek. - Additional block and writeback tracepoints from Tejun. - Improvement of the should sort (based on queues) logic in the plug flushing. - _io() variants of the wait_for_completion() interface, using io_schedule() instead of schedule() to contribute to io wait properly. - Various little fixes. You'll get two trivial merge conflicts, which should be easy enough to fix up" Fix up the trivial conflicts due to hlist traversal cleanups (commit b67bfe0d42ca: "hlist: drop the node parameter from iterators"). * 'for-3.9/core' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux-block: (39 commits) block: remove redundant check to bd_openers() block: use i_size_write() in bd_set_size() cfq: fix lock imbalance with failed allocations drivers/block/swim3.c: fix null pointer dereference block: don't select PERCPU_RWSEM block: account iowait time when waiting for completion of IO request sched: add wait_for_completion_io[_timeout] writeback: add more tracepoints block: add block_{touch|dirty}_buffer tracepoint buffer: make touch_buffer() an exported function block: add @req to bio_{front|back}_merge tracepoints block: add missing block_bio_complete() tracepoint block: Remove should_sort judgement when flush blk_plug block,elevator: use new hashtable implementation cfq-iosched: add hierarchical cfq_group statistics cfq-iosched: collect stats from dead cfqgs cfq-iosched: separate out cfqg_stats_reset() from cfq_pd_reset_stats() blkcg: make blkcg_print_blkgs() grab q locks instead of blkcg lock block: RCU free request_queue blkcg: implement blkg_[rw]stat_recursive_sum() and blkg_[rw]stat_merge() ...

iosched: prevent aliased requests from starving other I/O Hi, Jens, If you recall, I posted an RFC patch for this back in July of last year: http://lkml.org/lkml/2010/7/13/279 The basic problem is that a process can issue a never-ending stream of async direct I/Os to the same sector on a device, thus starving out other I/O in the system (due to the way the alias handling works in both cfq and deadline). The solution I proposed back then was to start dispatching from the fifo after a certain number of aliases had been dispatched. Vivek asked why we had to treat aliases differently at all, and I never had a good answer. So, I put together a simple patch which allows aliases to be added to the rb tree (it adds them to the right, though that doesn't matter as the order isn't guaranteed anyway). I think this is the preferred solution, as it doesn't break up time slices in CFQ or batches in deadline. I've tested it, and it does solve the starvation issue. Let me know what you think.

[PATCH] elevator: move the backmerging logic into the elevator core Right now, every IO scheduler implements its own backmerging (except for noop, which does no merging). That results in duplicated code for essentially the same operation, which is never a good thing. This patch moves the backmerging out of the io schedulers and into the elevator core. We save 1.6kb of text and as a bonus get backmerging for noop as well. Win-win! Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@suse.de>

[BLOCK] Implement elv_drain_elevator for improved switch error detection This patch adds request_queue->nr_sorted which keeps the number of requests in the iosched and implement elv_drain_elevator which performs forced dispatching. elv_drain_elevator checks whether iosched actually dispatches all requests it has and prints error message if it doesn't. As buggy forced dispatching can result in wrong barrier operations, I think this extra check is worthwhile. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <htejun@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@suse.de>

block: remove REQ_HARDBARRIER REQ_HARDBARRIER is dead now, so remove the leftovers. What's left at this point is: - various checks inside the block layer. - sanity checks in bio based drivers. - now unused bio_empty_barrier helper. - Xen blockfront use of BLKIF_OP_WRITE_BARRIER - it's dead for a while, but Xen really needs to sort out it's barrier situaton. - setting of ordered tags in uas - dead code copied from old scsi drivers. - scsi different retry for barriers - it's dead and should have been removed when flushes were converted to FS requests. - blktrace handling of barriers - removed.

Allow elevators to sort/merge discard requests But blkdev_issue_discard() still emits requests which are interpreted as soft barriers, because naïve callers might otherwise issue subsequent writes to those same sectors, which might cross on the queue (if they're reallocated quickly enough). Callers still _can_ issue non-barrier discard requests, but they have to take care of queue ordering for themselves.

block: separate out blk_rq_merge_ok() and blk_try_merge() from elevator functions blk_rq_merge_ok() is the elevator-neutral part of merge eligibility test. blk_try_merge() determines merge direction and expects the caller to have tested elv_rq_merge_ok() previously. elv_rq_merge_ok() now wraps blk_rq_merge_ok() and then calls elv_iosched_allow_merge(). elv_try_merge() is removed and the two callers are updated to call elv_rq_merge_ok() explicitly followed by blk_try_merge(). While at it, make rq_merge_ok() functions return bool. This is to prepare for plug merge update and doesn't introduce any behavior change.

[PATCH] elevator: move the backmerging logic into the elevator core Right now, every IO scheduler implements its own backmerging (except for noop, which does no merging). That results in duplicated code for essentially the same operation, which is never a good thing. This patch moves the backmerging out of the io schedulers and into the elevator core. We save 1.6kb of text and as a bonus get backmerging for noop as well. Win-win! Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@suse.de>

block: attempt to merge with existing requests on plug flush One of the disadvantages of on-stack plugging is that we potentially lose out on merging since all pending IO isn't always visible to everybody. When we flush the on-stack plugs, right now we don't do any checks to see if potential merge candidates could be utilized. Correct this by adding a new insert variant, ELEVATOR_INSERT_SORT_MERGE. It works just ELEVATOR_INSERT_SORT, but first checks whether we can merge with an existing request before doing the insertion (if we fail merging). This fixes a regression with multiple processes issuing IO that can be merged. Thanks to Shaohua Li <shaohua.li@intel.com> for testing and fixing an accounting bug.

block: drop barrier ordering by queue draining Filesystems will take all the responsibilities for ordering requests around commit writes and will only indicate how the commit writes themselves should be handled by block layers. This patch drops barrier ordering by queue draining from block layer. Ordering by draining implementation was somewhat invasive to request handling. List of notable changes follow. * Each queue has 1 bit color which is flipped on each barrier issue. This is used to track whether a given request is issued before the current barrier or not. REQ_ORDERED_COLOR flag and coloring implementation in __elv_add_request() are removed. * Requests which shouldn't be processed yet for draining were stalled by returning -EAGAIN from blk_do_ordered() according to the test result between blk_ordered_req_seq() and blk_blk_ordered_cur_seq(). This logic is removed. * Draining completion logic in elv_completed_request() removed. * All barrier sequence requests were queued to request queue and then trckled to lower layer according to progress and thus maintaining request orders during requeue was necessary. This is replaced by queueing the next request in the barrier sequence only after the current one is complete from blk_ordered_complete_seq(), which removes the need for multiple proxy requests in struct request_queue and the request sorting logic in the ELEVATOR_INSERT_REQUEUE path of elv_insert(). * As barriers no longer have ordering constraints, there's no need to dump the whole elevator onto the dispatch queue on each barrier. Insert barriers at the front instead. * If other barrier requests come to the front of the dispatch queue while one is already in progress, they are stored in q->pending_barriers and restored to dispatch queue one-by-one after each barrier completion from blk_ordered_complete_seq().

block: attempt to merge with existing requests on plug flush One of the disadvantages of on-stack plugging is that we potentially lose out on merging since all pending IO isn't always visible to everybody. When we flush the on-stack plugs, right now we don't do any checks to see if potential merge candidates could be utilized. Correct this by adding a new insert variant, ELEVATOR_INSERT_SORT_MERGE. It works just ELEVATOR_INSERT_SORT, but first checks whether we can merge with an existing request before doing the insertion (if we fail merging). This fixes a regression with multiple processes issuing IO that can be merged. Thanks to Shaohua Li <shaohua.li@intel.com> for testing and fixing an accounting bug.

block: reimplement FLUSH/FUA to support merge The current FLUSH/FUA support has evolved from the implementation which had to perform queue draining. As such, sequencing is done queue-wide one flush request after another. However, with the draining requirement gone, there's no reason to keep the queue-wide sequential approach. This patch reimplements FLUSH/FUA support such that each FLUSH/FUA request is sequenced individually. The actual FLUSH execution is double buffered and whenever a request wants to execute one for either PRE or POSTFLUSH, it queues on the pending queue. Once certain conditions are met, a flush request is issued and on its completion all pending requests proceed to the next sequence. This allows arbitrary merging of different type of flushes. How they are merged can be primarily controlled and tuned by adjusting the above said 'conditions' used to determine when to issue the next flush. This is inspired by Darrick's patches to merge multiple zero-data flushes which helps workloads with highly concurrent fsync requests. * As flush requests are never put on the IO scheduler, request fields used for flush share space with rq->rb_node. rq->completion_data is moved out of the union. This increases the request size by one pointer. As rq->elevator_private* are used only by the iosched too, it is possible to reduce the request size further. However, to do that, we need to modify request allocation path such that iosched data is not allocated for flush requests. * FLUSH/FUA processing happens on insertion now instead of dispatch. - Comments updated as per Vivek and Mike.

block: implement bio_associate_current() IO scheduling and cgroup are tied to the issuing task via io_context and cgroup of %current. Unfortunately, there are cases where IOs need to be routed via a different task which makes scheduling and cgroup limit enforcement applied completely incorrectly. For example, all bios delayed by blk-throttle end up being issued by a delayed work item and get assigned the io_context of the worker task which happens to serve the work item and dumped to the default block cgroup. This is double confusing as bios which aren't delayed end up in the correct cgroup and makes using blk-throttle and cfq propio together impossible. Any code which punts IO issuing to another task is affected which is getting more and more common (e.g. btrfs). As both io_context and cgroup are firmly tied to task including userland visible APIs to manipulate them, it makes a lot of sense to match up tasks to bios. This patch implements bio_associate_current() which associates the specified bio with %current. The bio will record the associated ioc and blkcg at that point and block layer will use the recorded ones regardless of which task actually ends up issuing the bio. bio release puts the associated ioc and blkcg. It grabs and remembers ioc and blkcg instead of the task itself because task may already be dead by the time the bio is issued making ioc and blkcg inaccessible and those are all block layer cares about. elevator_set_req_fn() is updated such that the bio elvdata is being allocated for is available to the elevator. This doesn't update block cgroup policies yet. Further patches will implement the support. -v2: #ifdef CONFIG_BLK_CGROUP added around bio->bi_ioc dereference in rq_ioc() to fix build breakage.

[PATCH] fix queue stalling while barrier sequencing If ordered tag isn't supported, request ordering for barrier sequencing is performed by queue draining, which basically hangs the request queue until elv_completed_request() reports completion of all previous fs requests. The condition check in elv_completed_request() was only performed for fs requests. If a special request is queued between the last to-be-drained request and the barrier sequence, draining is never completed and the queue is stalled forever. This patch moves the end-of-draining condition check such that it's performed for all requests.

Benefits of this constification: * prevents modification of data that is shared (referenced) by many other structure instances at runtime * detects/prevents accidental (but not intentional) modification attempts on archs that enforce read-only kernel data at runtime * potentially better optimized code as the compiler can assume that the const data cannot be changed * the compiler/linker move const data into .rodata and therefore exclude them from false sharing Signed-off-by: Emese Revfy <re.emese@gmail.com> Acked-by: David Teigland <teigland@redhat.com> Acked-by: Matt Domsch <Matt_Domsch@dell.com> Acked-by: Maciej Sosnowski <maciej.sosnowski@intel.com> Acked-by: Hans J.

[PATCH] elevator_t lifetime rules and sysfs fixes

2006-03-18 18:35:43 -05:00

elevator: clear auxiliary data earlier during elevator switch Elevator switch tries hard to keep as much as context until new elevator is ready so that it can revert to the original state if initializing the new elevator fails for some reason. Unfortunately, with more auxiliary contexts to manage, this makes elevator init and exit paths too complex and fragile. This patch makes elevator_switch() unregister the current elevator and flush icq's before start initializing the new one.

[PATCH] elevator_t lifetime rules and sysfs fixes

2006-03-18 18:35:43 -05:00

elevator: clear auxiliary data earlier during elevator switch Elevator switch tries hard to keep as much as context until new elevator is ready so that it can revert to the original state if initializing the new elevator fails for some reason. Unfortunately, with more auxiliary contexts to manage, this makes elevator init and exit paths too complex and fragile. This patch makes elevator_switch() unregister the current elevator and flush icq's before start initializing the new one. As we still keep the old elevator itself, the only difference is that we lose icq's on rare occassions of switching failure, which isn't critical at all. Note that this makes explicit elevator parameter to elevator_init_queue() and __elv_register_queue() unnecessary as they always can use the current elevator. This patch enables block cgroup cleanups. -v2: blk_add_trace_msg() prints elevator name from @new_e instead of @e->type as the local variable no longer exists.

The only effect of caching it in elevator_queue is shorter notation - it doesn't save any indirect derefence.

elevator: fix oops on early call to elevator_change() 2.6.36 introduces an API for drivers to switch the IO scheduler instead of manually calling the elevator exit and init functions. This API was added since q->elevator must be cleared in between those two calls. And since we already have this functionality directly from use by the sysfs interface to switch schedulers online, it was prudent to reuse it internally too. But this API needs the queue to be in a fully initialized state before it is called, or it will attempt to unregister elevator kobjects before they have been added. This results in an oops like this: BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000051 IP: [<ffffffff8116f15e>] sysfs_create_dir+0x2e/0xc0 PGD 47ddfc067 PUD 47c6a1067 PMD 0 Oops: 0000 [#1] PREEMPT SMP last sysfs file: /sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:02.0/0000:04:00.1/irq CPU 2 Modules linked in: t(+) loop hid_apple usbhid ahci ehci_hcd uhci_hcd libahci usbcore nls_base igb Pid: 7319, comm: modprobe Not tainted 2.6.36-rc6+ #132 QSSC-S4R/QSSC-S4R RIP: 0010:[<ffffffff8116f15e>] [<ffffffff8116f15e>] sysfs_create_dir+0x2e/0xc0 RSP: 0018:ffff88027da25d08 EFLAGS: 00010246 RAX: ffff88047c68c528 RBX: 00000000fffffffe RCX: 0000000000000000 RDX: 000000000000002f RSI: 000000000000002f RDI: ffff88047e196c88 RBP: ffff88027da25d38 R08: 0000000000000000 R09: d84156c5635688c0 R10: d84156c5635688c0 R11: 0000000000000000 R12: ffff88047e196c88 R13: 0000000000000000 R14: 0000000000000000 R15: ffff88047c68c528 FS: 00007fcb0b26f6e0(0000) GS:ffff880287400000(0000) knlGS:0000000000000000 CS: 0010 DS: 0000 ES: 0000 CR0: 000000008005003b CR2: 0000000000000051 CR3: 000000047e76e000 CR4: 00000000000006e0 DR0: 0000000000000000 DR1: 0000000000000000 DR2: 0000000000000000 DR3: 0000000000000000 DR6: 00000000ffff0ff0 DR7: 0000000000000400 Process modprobe (pid: 7319, threadinfo ffff88027da24000, task ffff88027d377090) Stack: ffff88027da25d58 ffff88047c68c528 00000000fffffffe ffff88047e196c88 <0> ffff88047c68c528 ffff88047e05bd90 ffff88027da25d78 ffffffff8123fb77 <0> ffff88047e05bd90 0000000000000000 ffff88047e196c88 ffff88047c68c528 Call Trace: [<ffffffff8123fb77>] kobject_add_internal+0xe7/0x1f0 [<ffffffff8123fd98>] kobject_add_varg+0x38/0x60 [<ffffffff8123feb9>] kobject_add+0x69/0x90 [<ffffffff8116efe0>] ? sysfs_remove_dir+0x20/0xa0 [<ffffffff8103d48d>] ? sub_preempt_count+0x9d/0xe0 [<ffffffff8143de20>] ? _raw_spin_unlock+0x30/0x50 [<ffffffff8116efe0>] ? sysfs_remove_dir+0x20/0xa0 [<ffffffff8116eff4>] ? sysfs_remove_dir+0x34/0xa0 [<ffffffff81224204>] elv_register_queue+0x34/0xa0 [<ffffffff81224aad>] elevator_change+0xfd/0x250 [<ffffffffa007e000>] ? t_init+0x0/0x361 [t] [<ffffffffa007e000>] ? t_init+0x0/0x361 [t] [<ffffffffa007e0a8>] t_init+0xa8/0x361 [t] [<ffffffff810001de>] do_one_initcall+0x3e/0x170 [<ffffffff8108c3fd>] sys_init_module+0xbd/0x220 [<ffffffff81002f2b>] system_call_fastpath+0x16/0x1b Code: e5 41 56 41 55 41 54 49 89 fc 53 48 83 ec 10 48 85 ff 74 52 48 8b 47 18 49 c7 c5 00 46 61 81 48 85 c0 74 04 4c 8b 68 30 45 31 f6 <41> 80 7d 51 00 74 0e 49 8b 44 24 28 4c 89 e7 ff 50 20 49 89 c6 RIP [<ffffffff8116f15e>] sysfs_create_dir+0x2e/0xc0 RSP <ffff88027da25d08> CR2: 0000000000000051 ---[ end trace a6541d3bf07945df ]--- Fix this by adding a registered bit to the elevator queue, which is set when the sysfs kobjects have been registered.

block: reorder elevator switch sequence Elevator switch sequence first attached the new elevator, then tried registering it (sysfs) and if that failed attached back the old elevator.

It can just do "register, detach, attach". * elevator_init_queue() is updated to set ->elevator_data directly and return 0 / -errno. This allows elevator_exit() on an unattached elevator. * __elv_unregister_queue() which was necessary to unregister unattached q is removed in favor of __elv_register_queue() which can register unattached q. * elevator_attach() becomes a single assignment and obscures more then it helps.

[PATCH] elevator switching race There's a race between shutting down one io scheduler and firing up the next, in which a new io could enter and cause the io scheduler to be invoked with bad or NULL data. To fix this, we need to maintain the queue lock for a bit longer. Unfortunately we cannot do that, since the elevator init requires to be run without the lock held. This isn't easily fixable, without also changing the mempool API. So split the initialization into two parts, and alloc-init operation and an attach operation. Then we can preallocate the io scheduler and related structures, and run the attach inside the lock after we detach the old one. This patch has survived 30 minutes of 1 second io scheduler switching with a very busy io load. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

The old behavior falls back to the compiled-in default if the requested one is not registered at boot time. This patch dynamically evaluates which default to use, and emits a suitable error message when the requested scheduler is not available. It also does the 'as' -> 'anticipatory' conversion before elevator registration, which along with a modified registration function, allows it to correctly indicate which default scheduler is in use.

[BLOCK] Reimplement elevator switch This patch reimplements elevator switch. This patch assumes generic dispatch queue patchset is applied. * Each request is tagged with REQ_ELVPRIV flag if it has its elevator private data set. * Requests which doesn't have REQ_ELVPRIV flag set never enter iosched. They are always directly back inserted to dispatch queue. Of course, elevator_put_req_fn is called only for requests which have its REQ_ELVPRIV set. * Request queue maintains the current number of requests which have its elevator data set (elevator_set_req_fn called) in q->rq->elvpriv. * If a request queue has QUEUE_FLAG_BYPASS set, elevator private data is not allocated for new requests. To switch to another iosched, we set QUEUE_FLAG_BYPASS and wait until elvpriv goes to zero; then, we attach the new iosched and clears QUEUE_FLAG_BYPASS. New implementation is much simpler and main code paths are less cluttered, IMHO. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <htejun@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@suse.de>

Linux-2.6.12-rc2 Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it.

elevator: clear auxiliary data earlier during elevator switch Elevator switch tries hard to keep as much as context until new elevator is ready so that it can revert to the original state if initializing the new elevator fails for some reason. Unfortunately, with more auxiliary contexts to manage, this makes elevator init and exit paths too complex and fragile. This patch makes elevator_switch() unregister the current elevator and flush icq's before start initializing the new one. As we still keep the old elevator itself, the only difference is that we lose icq's on rare occassions of switching failure, which isn't critical at all. Note that this makes explicit elevator parameter to elevator_init_queue() and __elv_register_queue() unnecessary as they always can use the current elevator. This patch enables block cgroup cleanups. -v2: blk_add_trace_msg() prints elevator name from @new_e instead of @e->type as the local variable no longer exists.

blkcg: unify blkg's for blkcg policies Currently, blkg is per cgroup-queue-policy combination. This is unnatural and leads to various convolutions in partially used duplicate fields in blkg, config / stat access, and general management of blkgs. This patch make blkg's per cgroup-queue and let them serve all policies. blkgs are now created and destroyed by blkcg core proper. This will allow further consolidation of common management logic into blkcg core and API with better defined semantics and layering. As a transitional step to untangle blkg management, elvswitch and policy [de]registration, all blkgs except the root blkg are being shot down during elvswitch and bypass. This patch adds blkg_root_update() to update root blkg in place on policy change. This is hacky and racy but should be good enough as interim step until we get locking simplified and switch over to proper in-place update for all blkgs. -v2: Root blkgs need to be updated on elvswitch too and blkg_alloc() comment wasn't updated according to the function change. Fixed. Both pointed out by Vivek. -v3: v2 updated blkg_destroy_all() to invoke update_root_blkg_pd() for all policies. This freed root pd during elvswitch before the last queue finished exiting and led to oops. Directly invoke update_root_blkg_pd() only on BLKIO_POLICY_PROP from cfq_exit_queue(). This also is closer to what will be done with proper in-place blkg update. Reported by Vivek.

block, cfq: move io_cq exit/release to blk-ioc.c With kmem_cache managed by blk-ioc, io_cq exit/release can be moved to blk-ioc too. The odd ->io_cq->exit/release() callbacks are replaced with elevator_ops->elevator_exit_icq_fn() with unlinking from both ioc and q, and freeing automatically handled by blk-ioc. The elevator operation only need to perform exit operation specific to the elevator - in cfq's case, exiting the cfqq's. Also, clearing of io_cq's on q detach is moved to block core and automatically performed on elevator switch and q release. Because the q io_cq points to might be freed before RCU callback for the io_cq runs, blk-ioc code should remember to which cache the io_cq needs to be freed when the io_cq is released. New field io_cq->__rcu_icq_cache is added for this purpose. As both the new field and rcu_head are used only after io_cq is released and the q/ioc_node fields aren't, they are put into unions.

elevator: Fix a race in elevator switching There's a race between elevator switching and normal io operation. Because the allocation of struct elevator_queue and struct elevator_data don't in a atomic operation.So there are have chance to use NULL ->elevator_data. For example: Thread A: Thread B blk_queu_bio elevator_switch spin_lock_irq(q->queue_block) elevator_alloc elv_merge elevator_init_fn Because call elevator_alloc, it can't hold queue_lock and the ->elevator_data is NULL.So at the same time, threadA call elv_merge and nedd some info of elevator_data.So the crash happened. Move the elevator_alloc into func elevator_init_fn, it make the operations in a atomic operation.

This led to an interesting deadlock problem involving async and module init. Block device probing running off an async job invokes request_module(). While the module is being loaded, it performs async_synchronize_full() which ends up waiting for the async job which is already waiting for request_module() to finish, leading to deadlock. Invoking request_module() from deep in block device init path is already nasty in itself. It seems best to avoid these situations from the beginning by moving on-demand module loading out of block init path. The previous patch made sure that the default elevator module is loaded early during boot if available. This patch removes on-demand loading of the default elevator from elevator init path. As the module would have been loaded during boot, userland-visible behavior difference should be minimal. For more details, please refer to the following thread. http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel/1420814 v2: The bool parameter was named @request_module which conflicted with request_module(). This built okay w/ CONFIG_MODULES because request_module() was defined as a macro. W/o CONFIG_MODULES, it causes build breakage. Rename the parameter to @try_loading. Reported by Fengguang.

Linux-2.6.12-rc2 Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!

block: remove elevator_queue->ops elevator_queue->ops points to the same ops struct ->elevator_type.ops is pointing to. The only effect of caching it in elevator_queue is shorter notation - it doesn't save any indirect derefence. Relocate elevator_type->list which used only during module init/exit to the end of the structure, rename elevator_queue->elevator_type to ->type, and replace elevator_queue->ops with elevator_queue->type.ops. This doesn't introduce any functional difference. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@kernel.dk>

[PATCH] block cleanups: Fix iosched module refcount leak If the requested I/O scheduler is already in place, elevator_switch simply leaves the queue alone, and returns. However, it forgets to call elevator_put, so 'echo [current_sched] > /sys/block/[dev]/queue/scheduler' will leak a reference, causing the current_sched module to be permanently pinned in memory.

block: add function call to switch the IO scheduler from a driver Currently drivers must do an elevator_exit() + elevator_init() to switch IO schedulers. There are a few problems with this: - Since commit 1abec4fdbb142e3ccb6ce99832fae42129134a96, elevator_init() requires a zeroed out q->elevator pointer. The two existing in-kernel users don't do that. - It will only work at initialization time, since using the above two-staged construct does not properly quisce the queue. So add elevator_change() which takes care of this, and convert the elv_iosched_store() sysfs interface to use this helper as well.
