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.

block: Inline encryption support for blk-mq We must have some way of letting a storage device driver know what encryption context it should use for en/decrypting a request. However, it's the upper layers (like the filesystem/fscrypt) that know about and manages encryption contexts. As such, when the upper layer submits a bio to the block layer, and this bio eventually reaches a device driver with support for inline encryption, the device driver will need to have been told the encryption context for that bio. We want to communicate the encryption context from the upper layer to the storage device along with the bio, when the bio is submitted to the block layer. To do this, we add a struct bio_crypt_ctx to struct bio, which can represent an encryption context (note that we can't use the bi_private field in struct bio to do this because that field does not function to pass information across layers in the storage stack). We also introduce various functions to manipulate the bio_crypt_ctx and make the bio/request merging logic aware of the bio_crypt_ctx. We also make changes to blk-mq to make it handle bios with encryption contexts. blk-mq can merge many bios into the same request. These bios need to have contiguous data unit numbers (the necessary changes to blk-merge are also made to ensure this) - as such, it suffices to keep the data unit number of just the first bio, since that's all a storage driver needs to infer the data unit number to use for each data block in each bio in a request. blk-mq keeps track of the encryption context to be used for all the bios in a request with the request's rq_crypt_ctx. When the first bio is added to an empty request, blk-mq will program the encryption context of that bio into the request_queue's keyslot manager, and store the returned keyslot in the request's rq_crypt_ctx. All the functions to operate on encryption contexts are in blk-crypto.c. Upper layers only need to call bio_crypt_set_ctx with the encryption key, algorithm and data_unit_num; they don't have to worry about getting a keyslot for each encryption context, as blk-mq/blk-crypto handles that. Blk-crypto also makes it possible for request-based layered devices like dm-rq to make use of inline encryption hardware by cloning the rq_crypt_ctx and programming a keyslot in the new request_queue when necessary. Note that any user of the block layer can submit bios with an encryption context, such as filesystems, device-mapper targets, etc. Signed-off-by: Satya Tangirala <satyat@google.com> Reviewed-by: Eric Biggers <ebiggers@google.com> Reviewed-by: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@kernel.dk>

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().

blk-throttle: add a simple idle detection A cgroup gets assigned a low limit, but the cgroup could never dispatch enough IO to cross the low limit. In such case, the queue state machine will remain in LIMIT_LOW state and all other cgroups will be throttled according to low limit. This is unfair for other cgroups. We should treat the cgroup idle and upgrade the state machine to lower state. We also have a downgrade logic. If the state machine upgrades because of cgroup idle (real idle), the state machine will downgrade soon as the cgroup is below its low limit. This isn't what we want. A more complicated case is cgroup isn't idle when queue is in LIMIT_LOW. But when queue gets upgraded to lower state, other cgroups could dispatch more IO and this cgroup can't dispatch enough IO, so the cgroup is below its low limit and looks like idle (fake idle). In this case, the queue should downgrade soon. The key to determine if we should do downgrade is to detect if cgroup is truely idle. Unfortunately it's very hard to determine if a cgroup is real idle. This patch uses the 'think time check' idea from CFQ for the purpose. Please note, the idea doesn't work for all workloads. For example, a workload with io depth 8 has disk utilization 100%, hence think time is 0, eg, not idle. But the workload can run higher bandwidth with io depth 16. Compared to io depth 16, the io depth 8 workload is idle. We use the idea to roughly determine if a cgroup is idle. We treat a cgroup idle if its think time is above a threshold (by default 1ms for SSD and 100ms for HD). The idea is think time above the threshold will start to harm performance. HD is much slower so a longer think time is ok. The patch (and the latter patches) uses 'unsigned long' to track time. We convert 'ns' to 'us' with 'ns >> 10'. This is fast but loses precision, should not a big deal. Signed-off-by: Shaohua Li <shli@fb.com> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@fb.com>

block: only update parent bi_status when bio fail For multiple split bios, if one of the bio is fail, the whole should return error to application.

The race as following: split bio(READ) kworker nvme_complete_rq blk_update_request //split error=0 bio_endio bio_integrity_endio queue_work(kintegrityd_wq, &bip->bip_work); bio_integrity_verify_fn bio_endio //split bio __bio_chain_endio if (!parent->bi_status) <interrupt entry> nvme_irq blk_update_request //parent error=7 req_bio_endio bio->bi_status = 7 //parent bio <interrupt exit> parent->bi_status = 0 parent->bi_end_io() // return bi_status=0 The bio has been split as two: split and parent. When split bio completed, it depends on kworker to do endio, while bio_integrity_verify_fn have been interrupted by parent bio complete irq handler. Then, parent bio->bi_status which have been set in irq handler will overwrite by kworker. In fact, even without the above race, we also need to conside the concurrency beteen mulitple split bio complete and update the same parent bi_status. Normally, multiple split bios will be issued to the same hctx and complete from the same irq vector. But if we have updated queue map between multiple split bios, these bios may complete on different hw queue and different irq vector. Then the concurrency update parent bi_status may cause the final status error.

block: Avoid deadlocks with bio allocation by stacking drivers Previously, if we ever try to allocate more than once from the same bio set while running under generic_make_request() (i.e. a stacking block driver), we risk deadlock. This is because of the code in generic_make_request() that converts recursion to iteration; any bios we submit won't actually be submitted (so they can complete and eventually be freed) until after we return - this means if we allocate a second bio, we're blocking the first one from ever being freed. Thus if enough threads call into a stacking block driver at the same time with bios that need multiple splits, and the bio_set's reserve gets used up, we deadlock.

block: try slab allocation in bio_alloc_bioset() before mempool When the per-CPU bio cache is enabled but empty, bio_alloc_percpu_cache() returns NULL and bio_alloc_bioset() falls straight through to the mempool fallback: if (unlikely(!bio)) { if (!(saved_gfp & __GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM)) return NULL; ... } For non-sleeping allocations (no __GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM) this returns NULL without ever attempting a slab allocation, even when there is plenty of free memory. Commit b520c4eef83d ("block: split bio_alloc_bioset more clearly into a fast and slowpath") introduced this. Before it, a percpu cache miss fell through to mempool_alloc(), which attempted the underlying slab allocation first and only failed when that slab allocation failed. The restructuring dropped the slab attempt that non-sleeping callers of a cache-enabled bioset (such as the default fs_bio_set used by bio_alloc()) relied on. Try a slab allocation with optimistic GFP_ flags before falling back to the mempool whenever the bio is still NULL, so both the cache-empty and non-cache paths share the same slab attempt. This restores the previous behavior for non-sleeping allocations.

block: relax pgmap check in bio_add_page for compatible zone device pages bio_add_page() and bio_integrity_add_page() reject pages from different dev_pagemaps entirely, returning 0 even when those pages have compatible DMA mapping requirements. This forces callers to start a new bio when buffers span pgmap boundaries, even though the pages could safely coexist as separate bvec entries. This matters for guests where memory is registered through devm_memremap_pages() with MEMORY_DEVICE_GENERIC in multiple calls, creating separate dev_pagemaps for each chunk. When a direct I/O buffer spans two such chunks, bio_add_page() rejects the second page, forcing an unnecessary bio split or I/O failure. Introduce zone_device_pages_compatible() in blk.h to check whether two pages can coexist in the same bio as separate bvec entries. The block DMA iterator (blk_dma_map_iter_start) caches the P2PDMA mapping state from the first segment and applies it to all others, so P2PDMA pages from different pgmaps must not be mixed, and neither must P2PDMA and non-P2PDMA pages. All other combinations (MEMORY_DEVICE_GENERIC pages from different pgmaps, or MEMORY_DEVICE_GENERIC with normal RAM) use the same dma_map_phys path and are safe. Replace the blanket zone_device_pages_have_same_pgmap() rejection with zone_device_pages_compatible(), while keeping zone_device_pages_have_same_pgmap() as a merge guard. Pages from different pgmaps can be added as separate bvec entries but must not be coalesced into the same segment, as that would make it impossible to recover the correct pgmap via page_pgmap().

Without this, we pointlessly bounce BIOs up to > keventd all the time. In the last twenty years, compound pages have become used for more than just hugetlb. Rewrite these functions to operate on folios instead of pages and remove the special case for hugetlbfs; I don't think it's needed any more (and if it is, we can put it back in as a call to folio_test_hugetlb()). This was found by inspection; as far as I can tell, this bug can lead to pages used as the destination of a direct I/O read not being marked as dirty. If those pages are then reclaimed by the MM without being dirtied for some other reason, they won't be written out. Then when they're faulted back in, they will not contain the data they should. It'll take a pretty unusual setup to produce this problem with several races all going the wrong way. This problem predates the folio work; it could for example have been triggered by mmaping a THP in tmpfs and using that as the target of an O_DIRECT read.

block: Inline encryption support for blk-mq We must have some way of letting a storage device driver know what encryption context it should use for en/decrypting a request. However, it's the upper layers (like the filesystem/fscrypt) that know about and manages encryption contexts. As such, when the upper layer submits a bio to the block layer, and this bio eventually reaches a device driver with support for inline encryption, the device driver will need to have been told the encryption context for that bio. We want to communicate the encryption context from the upper layer to the storage device along with the bio, when the bio is submitted to the block layer. To do this, we add a struct bio_crypt_ctx to struct bio, which can represent an encryption context (note that we can't use the bi_private field in struct bio to do this because that field does not function to pass information across layers in the storage stack). We also introduce various functions to manipulate the bio_crypt_ctx and make the bio/request merging logic aware of the bio_crypt_ctx. We also make changes to blk-mq to make it handle bios with encryption contexts. blk-mq can merge many bios into the same request. These bios need to have contiguous data unit numbers (the necessary changes to blk-merge are also made to ensure this) - as such, it suffices to keep the data unit number of just the first bio, since that's all a storage driver needs to infer the data unit number to use for each data block in each bio in a request. blk-mq keeps track of the encryption context to be used for all the bios in a request with the request's rq_crypt_ctx. When the first bio is added to an empty request, blk-mq will program the encryption context of that bio into the request_queue's keyslot manager, and store the returned keyslot in the request's rq_crypt_ctx. All the functions to operate on encryption contexts are in blk-crypto.c. Upper layers only need to call bio_crypt_set_ctx with the encryption key, algorithm and data_unit_num; they don't have to worry about getting a keyslot for each encryption context, as blk-mq/blk-crypto handles that. Blk-crypto also makes it possible for request-based layered devices like dm-rq to make use of inline encryption hardware by cloning the rq_crypt_ctx and programming a keyslot in the new request_queue when necessary. Note that any user of the block layer can submit bios with an encryption context, such as filesystems, device-mapper targets, etc. Signed-off-by: Satya Tangirala <satyat@google.com> Reviewed-by: Eric Biggers <ebiggers@google.com> Reviewed-by: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@kernel.dk>

For the above pattern it isn't set until step 3 above (step 2 would've needed to establish BIO_CHAIN). As such the first bio_endio(), in step 2 above, never decremented __bi_remaining before calling the intermediate bi_end_io -- leaving __bi_remaining with the value 1 instead of 0. When bio_inc_remaining() occurred during step 3 it brought it to a value of 2. When the second bio_endio() was called, in step 4 above, it should've called the original bi_end_io but it didn't because there was an extra reference that wasn't dropped (due to atomic operations being optimized away since BIO_CHAIN wasn't set upfront). Fix this issue by removing the __bi_remaining management complexity for all callers that use the above pattern -- bio_chain() is the only interface that _needs_ to be concerned with __bi_remaining. For the above pattern callers just expect the bi_end_io they set to get called!

block: trace completion of all bios. Currently only dm and md/raid5 bios trigger trace_block_bio_complete(). Now that we have bio_chain() and bio_inc_remaining(), it is not possible, in general, for a driver to know when the bio is really complete. Only bio_endio() knows that. So move the trace_block_bio_complete() call to bio_endio(). Now trace_block_bio_complete() pairs with trace_block_bio_queue(). Any bio for which a 'queue' event is traced, will subsequently generate a 'complete' event. There are a few cases where completion tracing is not wanted. 1/ If blk_update_request() has already generated a completion trace event at the 'request' level, there is no point generating one at the bio level too. In this case the bi_sector and bi_size will have changed, so the bio level event would be wrong 2/ If the bio hasn't actually been queued yet, but is being aborted early, then a trace event could be confusing. Some filesystems call bio_endio() but do not want tracing. 3/ The bio_integrity code interposes itself by replacing bi_end_io, then restoring it and calling bio_endio() again. This would produce two identical trace events if left like that. To handle these, we introduce a flag BIO_TRACE_COMPLETION and only produce the trace event when this is set. We address point 1 above by clearing the flag in blk_update_request(). We address point 2 above by only setting the flag when generic_make_request() is called. We address point 3 above by clearing the flag after generating a completion event. When bio_split() is used on a bio, particularly in blk_queue_split(), there is an extra complication. A new bio is split off the front, and may be handle directly without going through generic_make_request(). The old bio, which has been advanced, is passed to generic_make_request(), so it will trigger a trace event a second time. Probably the best result when a split happens is to see a single 'queue' event for the whole bio, then multiple 'complete' events - one for each component. To achieve this was can: - copy the BIO_TRACE_COMPLETION flag to the new bio in bio_split() - avoid generating a 'queue' event if BIO_TRACE_COMPLETION is already set. This way, the split-off bio won't create a queue event, the original won't either even if it re-submitted to generic_make_request(), but both will produce completion events, each for their own range. So if generic_make_request() is called (which generates a QUEUED event), then bi_endio() will create a single COMPLETE event for each range that the bio is split into, unless the driver has explicitly requested it not to.

block: Introduce zone write plugging Zone write plugging implements a per-zone "plug" for write operations to control the submission and execution order of write operations to sequential write required zones of a zoned block device. Per-zone plugging guarantees that at any time there is at most only one write request per zone being executed. This mechanism is intended to replace zone write locking which implements a similar per-zone write throttling at the scheduler level, but is implemented only by mq-deadline. Unlike zone write locking which operates on requests, zone write plugging operates on BIOs. A zone write plug is simply a BIO list that is atomically manipulated using a spinlock and a kblockd submission work. A write BIO to a zone is "plugged" to delay its execution if a write BIO for the same zone was already issued, that is, if a write request for the same zone is being executed. The next plugged BIO is unplugged and issued once the write request completes. This mechanism allows to: - Untangle zone write ordering from block IO schedulers. This allows removing the restriction on using mq-deadline for writing to zoned block devices. Any block IO scheduler, including "none" can be used. - Zone write plugging operates on BIOs instead of requests. Plugged BIOs waiting for execution thus do not hold scheduling tags and thus are not preventing other BIOs from executing (reads or writes to other zones). Depending on the workload, this can significantly improve the device use (higher queue depth operation) and performance. - Both blk-mq (request based) zoned devices and BIO-based zoned devices (e.g. device mapper) can use zone write plugging. It is mandatory for the former but optional for the latter. BIO-based drivers can use zone write plugging to implement write ordering guarantees, or the drivers can implement their own if needed. - The code is less invasive in the block layer and is mostly limited to blk-zoned.c with some small changes in blk-mq.c, blk-merge.c and bio.c. Zone write plugging is implemented using struct blk_zone_wplug. This structure includes a spinlock, a BIO list and a work structure to handle the submission of plugged BIOs. Zone write plugs structures are managed using a per-disk hash table. Plugging of zone write BIOs is done using the function blk_zone_write_plug_bio() which returns false if a BIO execution does not need to be delayed and true otherwise. This function is called from blk_mq_submit_bio() after a BIO is split to avoid large BIOs spanning multiple zones which would cause mishandling of zone write plugs. This ichange enables by default zone write plugging for any mq request-based block device. BIO-based device drivers can also use zone write plugging by expliclty calling blk_zone_write_plug_bio() in their ->submit_bio method. For such devices, the driver must ensure that a BIO passed to blk_zone_write_plug_bio() is already split and not straddling zone boundaries. Only write and write zeroes BIOs are plugged. Zone write plugging does not introduce any significant overhead for other operations. A BIO that is being handled through zone write plugging is flagged using the new BIO flag BIO_ZONE_WRITE_PLUGGING. A request handling a BIO flagged with this new flag is flagged with the new RQF_ZONE_WRITE_PLUGGING flag. The completion of BIOs and requests flagged trigger respectively calls to the functions blk_zone_write_bio_endio() and blk_zone_write_complete_request(). The latter function is used to trigger submission of the next plugged BIO using the zone plug work. blk_zone_write_bio_endio() does the same for BIO-based devices. This ensures that at any time, at most one request (blk-mq devices) or one BIO (BIO-based devices) is being executed for any zone. The handling of zone write plugs using a per-zone plug spinlock maximizes parallelism and device usage by allowing multiple zones to be writen simultaneously without lock contention. Zone write plugging ignores flush BIOs without data. Hovever, any flush BIO that has data is always plugged so that the write part of the flush sequence is serialized with other regular writes. Given that any BIO handled through zone write plugging will be the only BIO in flight for the target zone when it is executed, the unplugging and submission of a BIO will have no chance of successfully merging with plugged requests or requests in the scheduler. To overcome this potential performance degradation, blk_mq_submit_bio() calls the function blk_zone_write_plug_attempt_merge() to try to merge other plugged BIOs with the one just unplugged and submitted. Successful merging is signaled using blk_zone_write_plug_bio_merged(), called from bio_attempt_back_merge(). Furthermore, to avoid recalculating the number of segments of plugged BIOs to attempt merging, the number of segments of a plugged BIO is saved using the new struct bio field __bi_nr_segments. To avoid growing the size of struct bio, this field is added as a union with the bio_cookie field. This is safe to do as polling is always disabled for plugged BIOs. When BIOs are plugged in a zone write plug, the device request queue usage counter is always incremented. This reference is kept and reused for blk-mq devices when the plugged BIO is unplugged and submitted again using submit_bio_noacct_nocheck(). For this case, the unplugged BIO is already flagged with BIO_ZONE_WRITE_PLUGGING and blk_mq_submit_bio() proceeds directly to allocating a new request for the BIO, re-using the usage reference count taken when the BIO was plugged. This extra reference count is dropped in blk_zone_write_plug_attempt_merge() for any plugged BIO that is successfully merged. Given that BIO-based devices will not take this path, the extra reference is dropped after a plugged BIO is unplugged and submitted. Zone write plugs are dynamically allocated and managed using a hash table (an array of struct hlist_head) with RCU protection. A zone write plug is allocated when a write BIO is received for the zone and not freed until the zone is fully written, reset or finished. To detect when a zone write plug can be freed, the write state of each zone is tracked using a write pointer offset which corresponds to the offset of a zone write pointer relative to the zone start. Write operations always increment this write pointer offset. Zone reset operations set it to 0 and zone finish operations set it to the zone size. If a write error happens, the wp_offset value of a zone write plug may become incorrect and out of sync with the device managed write pointer. This is handled using the zone write plug flag BLK_ZONE_WPLUG_ERROR. The function blk_zone_wplug_handle_error() is called from the new disk zone write plug work when this flag is set. This function executes a report zone to update the zone write pointer offset to the current value as indicated by the device. The disk zone write plug work is scheduled whenever a BIO flagged with BIO_ZONE_WRITE_PLUGGING completes with an error or when bio_zone_wplug_prepare_bio() detects an unaligned write. Once scheduled, the disk zone write plugs work keeps running until all zone errors are handled. To match the new data structures used for zoned disks, the function disk_free_zone_bitmaps() is renamed to the more generic disk_free_zone_resources(). The function disk_init_zone_resources() is also introduced to initialize zone write plugs resources when a gendisk is allocated. In order to guarantee that the user can simultaneously write up to a number of zones equal to a device max active zone limit or max open zone limit, zone write plugs are allocated using a mempool sized to the maximum of these 2 device limits. For a device that does not have active and open zone limits, 128 is used as the default mempool size. If a change to the device active and open zone limits is detected, the disk mempool is resized when blk_revalidate_disk_zones() is executed.

This royally confuses blk-iocost as the merged bios never finish and are considered perpetually in-flight. One reliably reproducible failure mode is an intermediate cgroup geting stuck active preventing its children from being activated due to the leaf-only rule, leading to loss of control. The following is from resctl-bench protection scenario which emulates isolating a web server like workload from a memory bomb run on an iocost configuration which should yield a reasonable level of protection. # cat /sys/block/nvme2n1/device/model Samsung SSD 970 PRO 512GB # cat /sys/fs/cgroup/io.cost.model 259:0 ctrl=user model=linear rbps=834913556 rseqiops=93622 rrandiops=102913 wbps=618985353 wseqiops=72325 wrandiops=71025 # cat /sys/fs/cgroup/io.cost.qos 259:0 enable=1 ctrl=user rpct=95.00 rlat=18776 wpct=95.00 wlat=8897 min=60.00 max=100.00 # resctl-bench -m 29.6G -r out.json run protection::scenario=mem-hog,loops=1 ...

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: trace completion of all bios. Currently only dm and md/raid5 bios trigger trace_block_bio_complete(). Now that we have bio_chain() and bio_inc_remaining(), it is not possible, in general, for a driver to know when the bio is really complete. Only bio_endio() knows that. So move the trace_block_bio_complete() call to bio_endio(). Now trace_block_bio_complete() pairs with trace_block_bio_queue(). Any bio for which a 'queue' event is traced, will subsequently generate a 'complete' event. There are a few cases where completion tracing is not wanted. 1/ If blk_update_request() has already generated a completion trace event at the 'request' level, there is no point generating one at the bio level too. In this case the bi_sector and bi_size will have changed, so the bio level event would be wrong 2/ If the bio hasn't actually been queued yet, but is being aborted early, then a trace event could be confusing. Some filesystems call bio_endio() but do not want tracing. 3/ The bio_integrity code interposes itself by replacing bi_end_io, then restoring it and calling bio_endio() again. This would produce two identical trace events if left like that. To handle these, we introduce a flag BIO_TRACE_COMPLETION and only produce the trace event when this is set. We address point 1 above by clearing the flag in blk_update_request(). We address point 2 above by only setting the flag when generic_make_request() is called. We address point 3 above by clearing the flag after generating a completion event. When bio_split() is used on a bio, particularly in blk_queue_split(), there is an extra complication. A new bio is split off the front, and may be handle directly without going through generic_make_request(). The old bio, which has been advanced, is passed to generic_make_request(), so it will trigger a trace event a second time. Probably the best result when a split happens is to see a single 'queue' event for the whole bio, then multiple 'complete' events - one for each component. To achieve this was can: - copy the BIO_TRACE_COMPLETION flag to the new bio in bio_split() - avoid generating a 'queue' event if BIO_TRACE_COMPLETION is already set. This way, the split-off bio won't create a queue event, the original won't either even if it re-submitted to generic_make_request(), but both will produce completion events, each for their own range. So if generic_make_request() is called (which generates a QUEUED event), then bi_endio() will create a single COMPLETE event for each range that the bio is split into, unless the driver has explicitly requested it not to.

block: Avoid deadlocks with bio allocation by stacking drivers Previously, if we ever try to allocate more than once from the same bio set while running under generic_make_request() (i.e. a stacking block driver), we risk deadlock. This is because of the code in generic_make_request() that converts recursion to iteration; any bios we submit won't actually be submitted (so they can complete and eventually be freed) until after we return - this means if we allocate a second bio, we're blocking the first one from ever being freed. Thus if enough threads call into a stacking block driver at the same time with bios that need multiple splits, and the bio_set's reserve gets used up, we deadlock. This can be worked around in the driver code - we could check if we're running under generic_make_request(), then mask out __GFP_WAIT when we go to allocate a bio, and if the allocation fails punt to workqueue and retry the allocation. But this is tricky and not a generic solution. This patch solves it for all users by inverting the previously described technique. We allocate a rescuer workqueue for each bio_set, and then in the allocation code if there are bios on current->bio_list we would be blocking, we punt them to the rescuer workqueue to be submitted. This guarantees forward progress for bio allocations under generic_make_request() provided each bio is submitted before allocating the next, and provided the bios are freed after they complete. Note that this doesn't do anything for allocation from other mempools. Instead of allocating per bio data structures from a mempool, code should use bio_set's front_pad. Tested it by forcing the rescue codepath to be taken (by disabling the first GFP_NOWAIT) attempt, and then ran it with bcache (which does a lot of arbitrary bio splitting) and verified that the rescuer was being invoked.
