This is the third patch in a series which adds support for
storing partition metadata, optionally, off of the hd_struct.
One major use for that data is being able to resolve partition
by other identities than just the index on a block device. Device
enumeration varies by platform and there's a benefit to being able
to use something like EFI GPT's GUIDs to determine the correct
block device and partition to mount as the root.
This change adds that support to root= by adding support for
the following syntax:
root=PARTUUID=hex-uuid

While completing a request from a REQ_FLUSH/FUA sequence, another
request can be pushed to the request queue. If a driver tests
elv_queue_empty() before completing a request and runs the queue again
only if the queue wasn't empty, this may lead to hang. Please note
that most drivers either kick the queue unconditionally or test queue
emptiness after completing the current request and don't have this

There are a number of make_request based drivers which don't support

Now that the backend conversion is complete, export sequenced
FLUSH/FUA capability through REQ_FLUSH/FUA flags. REQ_FLUSH means the
device cache should be flushed before executing the request. REQ_FUA
means that the data in the request should be on non-volatile media on
completion.
Block layer will choose the correct way of implementing the semantics
and execute it. The request may be passed to the device directly if
the device can handle it; otherwise, it will be sequenced using one or
more proxy requests. Devices will never see REQ_FLUSH and/or FUA
which it doesn't support.
Also, unlike the original REQ_HARDBARRIER, REQ_FLUSH/FUA requests are
never failed with -EOPNOTSUPP. If the underlying device doesn't
support FLUSH/FUA, the block layer simply make those noop. IOW, it no
longer distinguishes between writeback cache which doesn't support
cache flush and writethrough/no cache. Devices which have WB cache
w/o flush are very difficult to come by these days and there's nothing
much we can do anyway, so it doesn't make sense to require everyone to
implement -EOPNOTSUPP handling. This will simplify filesystems and
block drivers as they can drop -EOPNOTSUPP retry logic for barriers.
* QUEUE_ORDERED_* are removed and QUEUE_FSEQ_* are moved into
blk-flush.c.
* REQ_FLUSH w/o data can also be directly passed to drivers without
sequencing but some drivers assume that zero length requests don't
have rq->bio which isn't true for these requests requiring the use
of proxy requests.
* REQ_COMMON_MASK now includes REQ_FLUSH | REQ_FUA so that they are
copied from bio to request.
* WRITE_BARRIER is marked deprecated and WRITE_FLUSH, WRITE_FUA and
WRITE_FLUSH_FUA are added.

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().

Make the following cleanups in preparation of barrier/flush update.
* blk_do_ordered() declaration is moved from include/linux/blkdev.h to

* blk_do_ordered() now returns pointer to struct request, with %NULL
meaning "try the next request" and ERR_PTR(-EAGAIN) "try again
later". The third case will be dropped with further changes.
* In the initialization of proxy barrier request, data direction is
already set by init_request_from_bio(). Drop unnecessary explicit
REQ_WRITE setting and move init_request_from_bio() above REQ_FUA
flag setting.
* add_request() is collapsed into __make_request().

Barrier is deemed too heavy and will soon be replaced by FLUSH/FUA
requests. Deprecate barrier. All REQ_HARDBARRIERs are failed with
-EOPNOTSUPP and blk_queue_ordered() is replaced with simpler
blk_queue_flush().
blk_queue_flush() takes combinations of REQ_FLUSH and FUA. If a
device has write cache and can flush it, it should set REQ_FLUSH. If
the device can handle FUA writes, it should also set REQ_FUA.
All blk_queue_ordered() users are converted.
* ORDERED_DRAIN is mapped to 0 which is the default value.
* ORDERED_DRAIN_FLUSH is mapped to REQ_FLUSH.
* ORDERED_DRAIN_FLUSH_FUA is mapped to REQ_FLUSH | REQ_FUA.

While testing CPU DLPAR, the following problem was discovered.
We were DLPAR removing the first CPU, which in this case was
logical CPUs 0-3. CPUs 0-2 were already marked offline and
we were in the process of offlining CPU 3. After marking
the CPU inactive and offline in cpu_disable, but before the
cpu was completely idle (cpu_die), we ended up in __make_request
on CPU 3. There we looked at the topology map to see which CPU
to complete the I/O on and found no CPUs in the cpu_sibling_map.
This resulted in the block layer setting the completion cpu
to be NR_CPUS, which then caused an oops when we tried to
complete the I/O.
Fix this by sanity checking the value we return from blk_cpu_to_group
to be a valid cpu value.

Currently drivers must do an elevator_exit() + elevator_init()
to switch IO schedulers. There are a few problems with this:
- Since commit 1abec4fdbb,
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.

are requests from multiple cfq queues in the request queue.
o This mode currently gets activated if one sets slice_idle=0 and associated
disk supports NCQ. Again the idea is that on an NCQ disk with idling disabled
most of the queues will dispatch 1 or more requests and then cfq queue
expiry happens and we don't have a way to measure time. So start providing
fairness in terms of IOPS.
o Currently IOPS mode works only with cfq group scheduling. CFQ is following
different scheduling algorithms for queue and group scheduling. These IOPS
stats are used only for group scheduling hence in non-croup mode nothing
should change.
o For CFQ group scheduling one can disable slice idling so that we don't idle
on queue and drive deeper request queue depths (achieving better throughput),
at the same time group idle is enabled so one should get service
differentiation among groups.

Hi,
A user reported a kernel bug when running a particular program that did
the following:
created 32 threads
- each thread took a mutex, grabbed a global offset, added a buffer size
to that offset, released the lock
- read from the given offset in the file
- created a new thread to do the same
- exited
The result is that cfq's close cooperator logic would trigger, as the
threads were issuing I/O within the mean seek distance of one another.
This workload managed to routinely trigger a use after free bug when
walking the list of merge candidates for a particular cfqq
(cfqq->new_cfqq). The logic used for merging queues looks like this:
static void cfq_setup_merge(struct cfq_queue *cfqq, struct cfq_queue *new_cfqq)
{
int process_refs, new_process_refs;
struct cfq_queue *__cfqq;
/* Avoid a circular list and skip interim queue merges */
while ((__cfqq = new_cfqq->new_cfqq)) {
if (__cfqq == cfqq)
return;
new_cfqq = __cfqq;
}
process_refs = cfqq_process_refs(cfqq);
/*
* If the process for the cfqq has gone away, there is no
* sense in merging the queues.
*/
if (process_refs == 0)
return;
/*
* Merge in the direction of the lesser amount of work.
*/
new_process_refs = cfqq_process_refs(new_cfqq);
if (new_process_refs >= process_refs) {
cfqq->new_cfqq = new_cfqq;
atomic_add(process_refs, &new_cfqq->ref);
} else {
new_cfqq->new_cfqq = cfqq;
atomic_add(new_process_refs, &cfqq->ref);
}
}
When a merge candidate is found, we add the process references for the
queue with less references to the queue with more. The actual merging
of queues happens when a new request is issued for a given cfqq. In the
case of the test program, it only does a single pread call to read in
1MB, so the actual merge never happens.
Normally, this is fine, as when the queue exits, we simply drop the
references we took on the other cfqqs in the merge chain:
/*
* If this queue was scheduled to merge with another queue, be
* sure to drop the reference taken on that queue (and others in
* the merge chain). See cfq_setup_merge and cfq_merge_cfqqs.
*/
__cfqq = cfqq->new_cfqq;
while (__cfqq) {
if (__cfqq == cfqq) {
WARN(1, "cfqq->new_cfqq loop detected\n");
break;
}
next = __cfqq->new_cfqq;
cfq_put_queue(__cfqq);
__cfqq = next;
}
However, there is a hole in this logic. Consider the following (and
keep in mind that each I/O keeps a reference to the cfqq):
q1->new_cfqq = q2 // q2 now has 2 process references
q3->new_cfqq = q2 // q2 now has 3 process references
// the process associated with q2 exits
// q2 now has 2 process references
// queue 1 exits, drops its reference on q2
// q2 now has 1 process reference
// q3 exits, so has 0 process references, and hence drops its references
// to q2, which leaves q2 also with 0 process references
q4 comes along and wants to merge with q3
q3->new_cfqq still points at q2! We follow that link and end up at an
already freed cfqq.
So, the fix is to not follow a merge chain if the top-most queue does
not have a process reference, otherwise any queue in the chain could be
already freed. I also changed the logic to disallow merging with a
queue that does not have any process references. Previously, we did
this check for one of the merge candidates, but not the other. That
doesn't really make sense.
Without the attached patch, my system would BUG within a couple of
seconds of running the reproducer program. With the patch applied, my

Filesystems assume that DISCARD_BARRIER are full barriers, so that they
don't have to track in-progress discard operation when submitting new I/O.
But currently we only treat them as elevator barriers, which don't
actually do the nessecary queue drains.
Also remove the unlikely around both the DISCARD and BARRIER requests -

Bio-based DM doesn't use an elevator (queue is !blk_queue_stackable()).
Longer-term DM will not allocate an elevator for bio-based DM. But even
then there will be small potential for an elevator to be allocated for
a request-based DM table only to have a bio-based table be loaded in the
end.
Displaying "none" for bio-based DM will help avoid user confusion.

Use small consequent indexes as radix tree keys instead of sparse cfqd address.
This change will reduce radix tree depth from 11 (6 for 32-bit hosts)
to 1 if host have <=64 disks under cfq control, or to 0 if there only one disk.
So, this patch save 10*560 bytes for each process (5*296 for 32-bit hosts)
For each cfqd allocate cic index from ida.
To unlink dead cic from tree without cfqd access store index into ->key.

This patch fixes few usability and configurability issues.
o All the cgroup based controller options are configurable from
"Genral Setup/Control Group Support/" menu. blkio is the only exception.
Hence make this option visible in above menu and make it configurable from
there to bring it inline with rest of the cgroup based controllers.
o Get rid of CONFIG_DEBUG_CFQ_IOSCHED.
This option currently does two things.
- Enable printing of cgroup paths in blktrace
- Enables CONFIG_DEBUG_BLK_CGROUP, which in turn displays additional stat
files in cgroup.
If we are using group scheduling, blktrace data is of not really much use
if cgroup information is not present. To get this data, currently one has to
also enable CONFIG_DEBUG_CFQ_IOSCHED, which in turn brings the overhead of
all the additional debug stat files which is not desired.
Hence, this patch moves printing of cgroup paths under
CONFIG_CFQ_GROUP_IOSCHED.
This allows us to get rid of CONFIG_DEBUG_CFQ_IOSCHED completely. Now all
the debug stat files are controlled only by CONFIG_DEBUG_BLK_CGROUP which
can be enabled through config menu.

Currently, IO Controller makes use of blkio.weight to assign weight for
all devices. Here a new user interface "blkio.weight_device" is introduced to
assign different weights for different devices. blkio.weight becomes the
default value for devices which are not configured by "blkio.weight_device"
You can use the following format to assigned specific weight for a given
device:
#echo "major:minor weight" > blkio.weight_device
major:minor represents device number.
And you can remove weight for a given device as following:
#echo "major:minor 0" > blkio.weight_device

When CFQ dispatches requests forcefully due to a barrier or changing iosched,
it runs through all cfqq's dispatching requests and then expires each queue.
However, it does not activate a cfqq before flushing its IOs resulting in
using stale values for computing slice_used.
This patch fixes it by calling activate queue before flushing reuqests from
each queue.
This is useful mostly for barrier requests because when the iosched is changing
it really doesnt matter if we have incorrect accounting since we're going to
break down all structures anyway.
We also now expire the current timeslice before moving on with the dispatch
to accurately account slice used for that cfqq.

1) group_wait_time - This is the amount of time the cgroup had to wait to get a
timeslice for one of its queues from when it became busy, i.e., went from 0
to 1 request queued. This is different from the io_wait_time which is the
cumulative total of the amount of time spent by each IO in that cgroup waiting
in the scheduler queue. This stat is a great way to find out any jobs in the
fleet that are being starved or waiting for longer than what is expected (due
to an IO controller bug or any other issue).
2) empty_time - This is the amount of time a cgroup spends w/o any pending
requests. This stat is useful when a job does not seem to be able to use its
assigned disk share by helping check if that is happening due to an IO
controller bug or because the job is not submitting enough IOs.
3) idle_time - This is the amount of time spent by the IO scheduler idling
for a given cgroup in anticipation of a better request than the exising ones
from other queues/cgroups.
All these stats are recorded using start and stop events. When reading these
stats, we do not add the delta between the current time and the last start time
if we're between the start and stop events. We avoid doing this to make sure
that these numbers are always monotonically increasing when read. Since we're
using sched_clock() which may use the tsc as its source, it may induce some
inconsistency (due to tsc resync across cpus) if we included the current delta.

These stats are useful for getting a feel for the queue depth of the cgroup,
i.e., how filled up its queues are at a given instant and over the existence of
the cgroup. This ability is useful when debugging problems in the wild as it
helps understand the application's IO pattern w/o having to read through the
userspace code (coz its tedious or just not available) or w/o the ability
to run blktrace (since you may not have root access and/or not want to disturb

In the past, we've observed different merging behavior across upstream kernels,
some by design some actual bugs. This stat helps a lot in debugging such
problems when applications report decreased throughput with a new kernel

This needed adding an extra elevator function to capture bios being merged as I
