include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being included when building most .c files. percpu.h includes slab.h which in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies. percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed. Prepare for this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those headers directly instead of assuming availability. As this conversion needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is used as the basis of conversion. http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py The script does the followings. * Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that only the necessary includes are there. ie. if only gfp is used, gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h. * When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms to its surrounding. It's put in the include block which contains core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered - alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there doesn't seem to be any matching order. * If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the file. The conversion was done in the following steps. 1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h and ~3000 slab.h inclusions. The script emitted errors for ~400 files. 2. Each error was manually checked. Some didn't need the inclusion, some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or embedding .c file was more appropriate for others. This step added inclusions to around 150 files. 3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits from #2 to make sure no file was left behind. 4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed. e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually. 5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell. Most gfp.h inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros. Each slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as necessary. 6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h. 7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures were fixed. CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq). * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config. * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig * ia64 SMP allmodconfig * s390 SMP allmodconfig * alpha SMP allmodconfig * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig 8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as a separate patch and serve as bisection point. Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step 6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch. If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of the specific arch.

block: hook up writeback throttling Enable throttling of buffered writeback to make it a lot more smooth, and has way less impact on other system activity. Background writeback should be, by definition, background activity. The fact that we flush huge bundles of it at the time means that it potentially has heavy impacts on foreground workloads, which isn't ideal. We can't easily limit the sizes of writes that we do, since that would impact file system layout in the presence of delayed allocation. So just throttle back buffered writeback, unless someone is waiting for it. The algorithm for when to throttle takes its inspiration in the CoDel networking scheduling algorithm. Like CoDel, blk-wb monitors the minimum latencies of requests over a window of time. In that window of time, if the minimum latency of any request exceeds a given target, then a scale count is incremented and the queue depth is shrunk. The next monitoring window is shrunk accordingly. Unlike CoDel, if we hit a window that exhibits good behavior, then we simply increment the scale count and re-calculate the limits for that scale value. This prevents us from oscillating between a close-to-ideal value and max all the time, instead remaining in the windows where we get good behavior. Unlike CoDel, blk-wb allows the scale count to to negative. This happens if we primarily have writes going on. Unlike positive scale counts, this doesn't change the size of the monitoring window. When the heavy writers finish, blk-bw quickly snaps back to it's stable state of a zero scale count. The patch registers a sysfs entry, 'wb_lat_usec'. This sets the latency target to me met. It defaults to 2 msec for non-rotational storage, and 75 msec for rotational storage. Setting this value to '0' disables blk-wb. Generally, a user would not have to touch this setting. We don't enable WBT on devices that are managed with CFQ, and have a non-root block cgroup attached. If we have a proportional share setup on this particular disk, then the wbt throttling will interfere with that. We don't have a strong need for wbt for that case, since we will rely on CFQ doing that for us. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@fb.com>

block/sd: Fix device-imposed transfer length limits Commit 4f258a46346c ("sd: Fix maximum I/O size for BLOCK_PC requests") had the unfortunate side-effect of removing an implicit clamp to BLK_DEF_MAX_SECTORS for REQ_TYPE_FS requests in the block layer code. This caused problems for some SMR drives. Debugging this issue revealed a few problems with the existing infrastructure since the block layer didn't know how to deal with device-imposed limits, only limits set by the I/O controller. - Introduce a new queue limit, max_dev_sectors, which is used by the ULD to signal the maximum sectors for a REQ_TYPE_FS request. - Ensure that max_dev_sectors is correctly stacked and taken into account when overriding max_sectors through sysfs. - Rework sd_read_block_limits() so it saves the max_xfer and opt_xfer values for later processing. - In sd_revalidate() set the queue's max_dev_sectors based on the MAXIMUM TRANSFER LENGTH value in the Block Limits VPD. If this value is not reported, fall back to a cap based on the CDB TRANSFER LENGTH field size. - In sd_revalidate(), use OPTIMAL TRANSFER LENGTH from the Block Limits VPD--if reported and sane--to signal the preferred device transfer size for FS requests. Otherwise use BLK_DEF_MAX_SECTORS. - blk_limits_max_hw_sectors() is no longer used and can be removed. Signed-off-by: Martin K.

block: Introduce REQ_OP_ZONE_APPEND Define REQ_OP_ZONE_APPEND to append-write sectors to a zone of a zoned block device. This is a no-merge write operation. A zone append write BIO must: * Target a zoned block device * Have a sector position indicating the start sector of the target zone * The target zone must be a sequential write zone * The BIO must not cross a zone boundary * The BIO size must not be split to ensure that a single range of LBAs is written with a single command. Implement these checks in generic_make_request_checks() using the helper function blk_check_zone_append(). To avoid write append BIO splitting, introduce the new max_zone_append_sectors queue limit attribute and ensure that a BIO size is always lower than this limit. Export this new limit through sysfs and check these limits in bio_full(). Also when a LLDD can't dispatch a request to a specific zone, it will return BLK_STS_ZONE_RESOURCE indicating this request needs to be delayed, e.g. because the zone it will be dispatched to is still write-locked. If this happens set the request aside in a local list to continue trying dispatching requests such as READ requests or a WRITE/ZONE_APPEND requests targetting other zones. This way we can still keep a high queue depth without starving other requests even if one request can't be served due to zone write-locking. Finally, make sure that the bio sector position indicates the actual write position as indicated by the device on completion.

block: Improve checks on zone resource limits Make sure that the zone resource limits of a zoned block device are correct by checking that: (a) If the device has a max active zones limit, make sure that the max open zones limit is lower than the max active zones limit. (b) If the device has zone resource limits, check that the limits values are lower than the number of sequential zones of the device. If it is not, assume that the zoned device has no limits by setting the limits to 0. For (a), a check is added to blk_validate_zoned_limits() and an error returned if the max open zones limit exceeds the value of the max active zone limit (if there is one). For (b), given that we need the number of sequential zones of the zoned device, this check is added to disk_update_zone_resources(). This is safe to do as that function is executed with the disk queue frozen and the check executed after queue_limits_start_update() which takes the queue limits lock. Of note is that the early return in this function for zoned devices that do not use zone write plugging (e.g. DM devices using native zone append) is moved to after the new check and adjustment of the zone resource limits so that the check applies to any zoned device.

It is not necessarily a power-of-2. - atomic_write_max_sectors is derived from atomic_write_hw_max_sectors and max_hw_sectors. It is always a power-of-2. Atomic writes may be merged, and atomic_write_max_sectors would be the limit on a merged atomic write request size. This value is not capped at max_sectors, as the value in max_sectors can be controlled from userspace, and it would only cause trouble if userspace could limit atomic_write_unit_max_bytes and the other atomic write limits. - atomic_write_hw_unit_{min,max} are set by the block driver and are the min/max length of an atomic write unit which the device may support. They both must be a power-of-2. Typically atomic_write_hw_unit_max will hold the same value as atomic_write_hw_max. - atomic_write_unit_{min,max} are derived from atomic_write_hw_unit_{min,max}, max_hw_sectors, and block core limits. Both min and max values must be a power-of-2. - atomic_write_hw_boundary is set by the block driver. If non-zero, it indicates an LBA space boundary at which an atomic write straddles no longer is atomically executed by the disk. The value must be a power-of-2. Note that it would be acceptable to enforce a rule that atomic_write_hw_boundary_sectors is a multiple of atomic_write_hw_unit_max, but the resultant code would be more complicated. All atomic writes limits are by default set 0 to indicate no atomic write support. Even though it is assumed by Linux that a logical block can always be atomically written, we ignore this as it is not of particular interest. Stacked devices are just not supported either for now. An atomic write must always be submitted to the block driver as part of a single request. As such, only a single BIO must be submitted to the block layer for an atomic write. When a single atomic write BIO is submitted, it cannot be split. As such, atomic_write_unit_{max, min}_bytes are limited by the maximum guaranteed BIO size which will not be required to be split. This max size is calculated by request_queue max segments and the number of bvecs a BIO can fit, BIO_MAX_VECS. Currently we rely on userspace issuing a write with iovcnt=1 for pwritev2() - as such, we can rely on each segment containing PAGE_SIZE of data, apart from the first+last, which each can fit logical block size of data. The first+last will be LBS length/aligned as we rely on direct IO alignment rules also. New sysfs files are added to report the following atomic write limits: - atomic_write_unit_max_bytes - same as atomic_write_unit_max_sectors in bytes - atomic_write_unit_min_bytes - same as atomic_write_unit_min_sectors in bytes - atomic_write_boundary_bytes - same as atomic_write_hw_boundary_sectors in bytes - atomic_write_max_bytes - same as atomic_write_max_sectors in bytes Atomic writes may only be merged with other atomic writes and only under the following conditions: - total resultant request length <= atomic_write_max_bytes - the merged write does not straddle a boundary Helper function bdev_can_atomic_write() is added to indicate whether atomic writes may be issued to a bdev. If a bdev is a partition, the partition start must be aligned with both atomic_write_unit_min_sectors and atomic_write_hw_boundary_sectors. FSes will rely on the block layer to validate that an atomic write BIO submitted will be of valid size, so add blk_validate_atomic_write_op_size() for this purpose. Userspace expects an atomic write which is of invalid size to be rejected with -EINVAL, so add BLK_STS_INVAL for this. Also use BLK_STS_INVAL for when a BIO needs to be split, as this should mean an invalid size BIO. Flag REQ_ATOMIC is used for indicating an atomic write.

Debugging this issue revealed a few problems with the existing infrastructure since the block layer didn't know how to deal with device-imposed limits, only limits set by the I/O controller. - Introduce a new queue limit, max_dev_sectors, which is used by the ULD to signal the maximum sectors for a REQ_TYPE_FS request. - Ensure that max_dev_sectors is correctly stacked and taken into account when overriding max_sectors through sysfs. - Rework sd_read_block_limits() so it saves the max_xfer and opt_xfer values for later processing. - In sd_revalidate() set the queue's max_dev_sectors based on the MAXIMUM TRANSFER LENGTH value in the Block Limits VPD. If this value is not reported, fall back to a cap based on the CDB TRANSFER LENGTH field size. - In sd_revalidate(), use OPTIMAL TRANSFER LENGTH from the Block Limits VPD--if reported and sane--to signal the preferred device transfer size for FS requests. Otherwise use BLK_DEF_MAX_SECTORS. - blk_limits_max_hw_sectors() is no longer used and can be removed. Signed-off-by: Martin K.

block: Allow zero value of max_zone_append_sectors queue limit In preparation for adding a generic zone append emulation using zone write plugging, allow device drivers supporting zoned block device to set a the max_zone_append_sectors queue limit of a device to 0 to indicate the lack of native support for zone append operations and that the block layer should emulate these operations using regular write operations. blk_queue_max_zone_append_sectors() is modified to allow passing 0 as the max_zone_append_sectors argument. The function queue_max_zone_append_sectors() is also modified to ensure that the minimum of the max_hw_sectors and chunk_sectors limit is used whenever the max_zone_append_sectors limit is 0. This minimum is consistent with the value set for the max_zone_append_sectors limit by the function blk_validate_zoned_limits() when limits for a queue are validated. The helper functions queue_emulates_zone_append() and bdev_emulates_zone_append() are added to test if a queue (or block device) emulates zone append operations. In order for blk_revalidate_disk_zones() to accept zoned block devices relying on zone append emulation, the direct check to the max_zone_append_sectors queue limit of the disk is replaced by a check using the value returned by queue_max_zone_append_sectors(). Similarly, queue_zone_append_max_show() is modified to use the same accessor so that the sysfs attribute advertizes the non-zero limit that will be used, regardless if it is for native or emulated commands. For stacking drivers, a top device should not need to care if the underlying devices have native or emulated zone append operations. blk_stack_limits() is thus modified to set the top device max_zone_append_sectors limit using the new accessor queue_limits_max_zone_append_sectors(). queue_max_zone_append_sectors() is modified to use this function as well. Stacking drivers that require zone append emulation, e.g. dm-crypt, can still request this feature by calling blk_queue_max_zone_append_sectors() with a 0 limit.

block: introduce zone_write_granularity limit Per ZBC and ZAC specifications, host-managed SMR hard-disks mandate that all writes into sequential write required zones be aligned to the device physical block size. However, NVMe ZNS does not have this constraint and allows write operations into sequential zones to be aligned to the device logical block size. This inconsistency does not help with software portability across device types. To solve this, introduce the zone_write_granularity queue limit to indicate the alignment constraint, in bytes, of write operations into zones of a zoned block device. This new limit is exported as a read-only sysfs queue attribute and the helper blk_queue_zone_write_granularity() introduced for drivers to set this limit. The function blk_queue_set_zoned() is modified to set this new limit to the device logical block size by default. NVMe ZNS devices as well as zoned nullb devices use this default value as is. The scsi disk driver is modified to execute the blk_queue_zone_write_granularity() helper to set the zone write granularity of host-managed SMR disks to the disk physical block size. The accessor functions queue_zone_write_granularity() and bdev_zone_write_granularity() are also introduced.
