The only time it is safe to call aio_complete() is when the ->ki_retry
function returns -EIOCBQUEUED to the AIO core. direct_io_worker() has
historically done this by relying on its caller to translate positive return
codes into -EIOCBQUEUED for the aio case. It did this by trying to keep
conditionals in sync. direct_io_worker() knew when finished_one_bio() was
going to call aio_complete(). It would reverse the test and wait and free the
dio in the cases it thought that finished_one_bio() wasn't going to.
Not surprisingly, it ended up getting it wrong. 'ret' could be a negative
errno from the submission path but it failed to communicate this to
finished_one_bio(). direct_io_worker() would return < 0, it's callers
wouldn't raise -EIOCBQUEUED, and aio_complete() would be called. In the
future finished_one_bio()'s tests wouldn't reflect this and aio_complete()
would be called for a second time which can manifest as an oops.
The previous cleanups have whittled the sync and async completion paths down
to the point where we can collapse them and clearly reassert the invariant
that we must only call aio_complete() after returning -EIOCBQUEUED.
direct_io_worker() will only return -EIOCBQUEUED when it is not the last to
drop the dio refcount and the aio bio completion path will only call
aio_complete() when it is the last to drop the dio refcount.
direct_io_worker() can ensure that it is the last to drop the reference count
by waiting for bios to drain. It does this for sync ops, of course, and for
partial dio writes that must fall back to buffered and for aio ops that saw
errors during submission.
This means that operations that end up waiting, even if they were issued as
aio ops, will not call aio_complete() from dio. Instead we return the return
code of the operation and let the aio core call aio_complete(). This is
purposely done to fix a bug where AIO DIO file extensions would call
aio_complete() before their callers have a chance to update i_size.
Now that direct_io_worker() is explicitly returning -EIOCBQUEUED its callers
no longer have to translate for it. XFS needs to be careful not to free
resources that will be used during AIO completion if -EIOCBQUEUED is returned.
We maintain the previous behaviour of trying to write fs metadata for O_SYNC
aio+dio writes.

Now that we have a single refcount and waiting path we can reuse it in the
async 'should_wait' path. It continues to rely on the fragile link between
the conditional in dio_complete_aio() which decides to complete the AIO and
the conditional in direct_io_worker() which decides to wait and free.
By waiting before dropping the reference we stop dio_bio_end_aio() from
calling dio_complete_aio() which used to wake up the waiter after seeing the
reference count drop to 0. We hoist this wake up into dio_bio_end_aio() which
now notices when it's left a single remaining reference that is held by the
waiter.

Previously we had two confusing counts of bio progress. 'bio_count' was
decremented as bios were processed and freed by the dio core. It was used to
indicate final completion of the dio operation. 'bios_in_flight' reflected
how many bios were between submit_bio() and bio->end_io. It was used by the
sync path to decide when to wake up and finish completing bios and was ignored
by the async path.
This patch collapses the two notions into one notion of a dio reference count.
bios hold a dio reference when they're between submit_bio and bio->end_io.
Since bios_in_flight was only used in the sync path it is now equivalent to
dio->refcount - 1 which accounts for direct_io_worker() holding a reference
for the duration of the operation.
dio_bio_complete() -> finished_one_bio() was called from the sync path after
finding bios on the list that the bio->end_io function had deposited.
finished_one_bio() can not drop the dio reference on behalf of these bios now
because bio->end_io already has. The is_async test in finished_one_bio()
meant that it never actually did anything other than drop the bio_count for
sync callers. So we remove its refcount decrement, don't call it from
dio_bio_complete(), and hoist its call up into the async dio_bio_complete()
caller after an explicit refcount decrement. It is renamed dio_complete_aio()
to reflect the remaining work it actually does.

We only need to call blk_run_address_space() once after all the bios for the
direct IO op have been submitted. This removes the chance of calling
blk_run_address_space() after spurious wake ups as the sync path waits for
bios to drain. It's also one less difference betwen the sync and async paths.
In the process we remove a redundant dio_bio_submit() that its caller had

There have been a lot of bugs recently due to the way direct_io_worker() tries
to decide how to finish direct IO operations. In the worst examples it has
failed to call aio_complete() at all (hang) or called it too many times
(oops).
This set of patches cleans up the completion phase with the goal of removing
the complexity that lead to these bugs. We end up with one path that
calculates the result of the operation after all off the bios have completed.
We decide when to generate a result of the operation using that path based on
the final release of a refcount on the dio structure.
I tried to progress towards the final state in steps that were relatively easy
to understand. Each step should compile but I only tested the final result of
having all the patches applied.
I've tested these on low end PC drives with aio-stress, the direct IO tests I
could manage to get running in LTP, orasim, and some home-brew functional
tests.
In http://lkml.org/lkml/2006/9/21/103 IBM reports success with ext2 and ext3
running DIO LTP tests. They found that XFS bug which has since been addressed
in the patch series.
This patch:
The mechanics which decide the result of a direct IO operation were duplicated
in the sync and async paths.
The async path didn't check page_errors which can manifest as silently
returning success when the final pointer in an operation faults and its
matching file region is filled with zeros.
The sync path and async path differed in whether they passed errors to the
caller's dio->end_io operation. The async path was passing errors to it which
trips an assertion in XFS, though it is apparently harmless.
This centralizes the completion phase of dio ops in one place. AIO will now
return EFAULT consistently and all paths fall back to the previously sync
behaviour of passing the number of bytes 'transferred' to the dio->end_io
callback, regardless of errors.
dio_await_completion() doesn't have to propogate EIO from non-uptodate bios
now that it's being propogated through dio_complete() via dio->io_error. This
lets it return void which simplifies its sole caller.

- restarting device recovery after a clean shutdown (version-1 metadata

stripe_to_pdidx finds the index of the parity disk for a given stripe. It
assumes raid5 in that it uses "disks-1" to determine the number of data disks.
This is incorrect for raid6 but fortunately the two usages cancel each other
out. The only way that 'data_disks' affects the calculation of pd_idx in
raid5_compute_sector is when it is divided into the sector number. But as
that sector number is calculated by multiplying in the wrong value of
'data_disks' the division produces the right value.
So it is innocuous but needs to be fixed.
Also change the calculation of raid_disks in compute_blocknr to make it
more obviously correct (it seems at first to always use disks-1 too).

If a bypass-the-cache read fails, we simply try again through the cache. If
it fails again it will trigger normal recovery precedures.
update 1:
From: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>
1/
chunk_aligned_read and retry_aligned_read assume that
data_disks == raid_disks - 1
which is not true for raid6.
So when an aligned read request bypasses the cache, we can get the wrong data.
2/ The cloned bio is being used-after-free in raid5_align_endio
(to test BIO_UPTODATE).
3/ We forgot to add rdev->data_offset when submitting
a bio for aligned-read
4/ clone_bio calls blk_recount_segments and then we change bi_bdev,
so we need to invalidate the segment counts.
5/ We don't de-reference the rdev when the read completes.
This means we need to record the rdev to so it is still
available in the end_io routine. Fortunately
bi_next in the original bio is unused at this point so
we can stuff it in there.
6/ We leak a cloned bio if the target rdev is not usable.
From: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>
update 2:
1/ When aligned requests fail (read error) they need to be retried
via the normal method (stripe cache). As we cannot be sure that
we can process a single read in one go (we may not be able to
allocate all the stripes needed) we store a bio-being-retried
and a list of bioes-that-still-need-to-be-retried.
When find a bio that needs to be retried, we should add it to
the list, not to single-bio...
2/ We were never incrementing 'scnt' when resubmitting failed
aligned requests.

Trigger softirq less frequently
We trigger the softirq before this patch using offset of sd->interval.
However, if the queue is busy then it is sufficient to schedule the softirq
with sd->interval * busy_factor.
So we modify the calculation of the next time to balance by taking
the interval added to last_balance again. This is only the
right value if the idle/busy situation continues as is.
There are two potential trouble spots:
- If the queue was idle and now gets busy then we call rebalance
early. However, that is not a problem because we will then use
the longer interval for the next period.
- If the queue was busy and becomes idle then we potentially
wait too long before rebalancing. However, when the task
goes idle then idle_balance is called. We add another calculation
of the next balance time based on sd->interval in idle_balance
so that we will rebalance soon.
V2->V3:
- Calculate rebalance time based on current jiffies and not
based on the jiffies at the last time we load balanced.
We no longer rely on staggering and therefore we can
affort to do this now.
V3->V4:
- Use functions to do jiffy comparisons.

Add a simple /proc/pid/io to show the IO accounting fields.
Maybe this shouldn't be merged in mainline - the preferred reporting channel
is taskstats. But given the poor state of our userspace support for
taskstats, this is useful for developer-testing, at least. And it improves
the changes that the procps developers will wire it up into top(1). Opinions
are sought.
The patch also wires up the existing IO-accounting fields.
It's a bit racy on 32-bit machines: if process A reads process B's
/proc/pid/io while process B is updating one of those 64-bit counters, process
A could see an intermediate result.

Accounting writes is fairly simple: whenever a process flips a page from clean
to dirty, we accuse it of having caused a write to underlying storage of
PAGE_CACHE_SIZE bytes.
This may overestimate the amount of writing: the page-dirtying may cause only
one buffer_head's worth of writeout. Fixing that is possible, but probably a
bit messy and isn't obviously important.

The present per-task IO accounting isn't very useful. It simply counts the
number of bytes passed into read() and write(). So if a process reads 1MB
from an already-cached file, it is accused of having performed 1MB of I/O,
which is wrong.
(David Wright had some comments on the applicability of the present logical IO accounting:
For billing purposes it is useless but for workload analysis it is very
useful
read_bytes/read_calls average read request size
write_bytes/write_calls average write request size
read_bytes/read_blocks ie logical/physical can indicate hit rate or thrashing
write_bytes/write_blocks ie logical/physical guess since pdflush writes can
be missed
I often look for logical larger than physical to see filesystem cache
problems. And the bytes/cpusec can help find applications that are
dominating the cache and causing slow interactive response from page cache
contention.
I want to find the IO intensive applications and make sure they are doing
efficient IO. Thus the acctcms(sysV) or csacms command would give the high
IO commands).
This patchset adds new accounting which tries to be more accurate. We account
for three things:
reads:
attempt to count the number of bytes which this process really did cause
to be fetched from the storage layer. Done at the submit_bio() level, so it
is accurate for block-backed filesystems. I also attempt to wire up NFS and
CIFS.
writes:
attempt to count the number of bytes which this process caused to be sent
to the storage layer. This is done at page-dirtying time.
The big inaccuracy here is truncate. If a process writes 1MB to a file
and then deletes the file, it will in fact perform no writeout. But it will
have been accounted as having caused 1MB of write.
So...
cancelled_writes:
account the number of bytes which this process caused to not happen, by
truncating pagecache.
We _could_ just subtract this from the process's `write' accounting. But
that means that some processes would be reported to have done negative
amounts of write IO, which is silly.
So we just report the raw number and punt this decision up to userspace.
Now, we _could_ account for writes at the physical I/O level. But
- This would require that we track memory-dirtying tasks at the per-page
level (would require a new pointer in struct page).
- It would mean that IO statistics for a process are usually only available
long after that process has exitted. Which means that we probably cannot
communicate this info via taskstats.
This patch:
Wire up the kernel-private data structures and the accessor functions to
manipulate them.

Fix the CRC errors in the higher UltraDMA modes with the Promise PDC20268
and newer chips that always occur on non-x86 machines and when there are
more than 2 adapters on x86 machines. Fix the overclocking issue for
PDC20269 and newer chips that occurs when an UltraDMA/133 capable drive is
connected. Here's the summary of changes:
- add code to detect the PLL input clock detection and setup it output clock,
remove the PowerMac hacks;
- replace the macros accessing the indexed regiters with functions, switch to
using them where appropriate, gather the PIO/MWDMA/UDMA timings into tables;
- rewrite the speedproc() handler to set the drive's transfer mode first, and
then override the timing registers set by hardware on UltraDMA/133 chips;
- use better criterion for determining higher UltraDMA modes, and add comment
concerning the doubtful value of the code enabling IORDY/prefetch;
- replace the stupid 'pdcnew_new_' prefixes with mere 'pdcnew_';
- get rid of unneded spaces, parens and type casts, clean up some printk's,
add some new lines here and there...

Some PLL clock detection code was backported from his pata_pdc2027x driver...
This code has been successfully tested by me on PDC2026[89] chips.
I tried to keep this rework as several patches but it made no sense: [2] was
largely a modification of the non-working timing override code, [3] by itself
extended the overclocking issue to the case of non-UltraDMA/133 drives, and
finally, the cleanup patch based on [1] ended up rejected...
