blkcg: remove blkcg->id
blkcg->id is a unique id given to each blkcg; however, the
cgroup_subsys_state which each blkcg embeds already has ->serial_nr
which can be used for the same purpose. Drop blkcg->id and replace
its uses with blkcg->css.serial_nr. Rename cfq_cgroup->blkcg_id to
->blkcg_serial_nr and @id in check_blkcg_changed() to @serial_nr for
consistency.

cfq-iosched: Fix wrong children_weight calculation
cfq_group_service_tree_add() is applying new_weight at the beginning of
the function via cfq_update_group_weight().
This actually allows weight to change between adding it to and subtracting
it from children_weight, and triggers WARN_ON_ONCE() in
cfq_group_service_tree_del(), or even causes oops by divide error during
vfr calculation in cfq_group_service_tree_add().
The detailed scenario is as follows:
1. Create blkio cgroups X and Y as a child of X.
Set X's weight to 500 and perform some I/O to apply new_weight.
This X's I/O completes before starting Y's I/O.
2. Y starts I/O and cfq_group_service_tree_add() is called with Y.
3. cfq_group_service_tree_add() walks up the tree during children_weight
calculation and adds parent X's weight (500) to children_weight of root.
children_weight becomes 500.
4. Set X's weight to 1000.
5. X starts I/O and cfq_group_service_tree_add() is called with X.
6. cfq_group_service_tree_add() applies its new_weight (1000).
7. I/O of Y completes and cfq_group_service_tree_del() is called with Y.
8. I/O of X completes and cfq_group_service_tree_del() is called with X.
9. cfq_group_service_tree_del() subtracts X's weight (1000) from
children_weight of root. children_weight becomes -500.
This triggers WARN_ON_ONCE().
10. Set X's weight to 500.
11. X starts I/O and cfq_group_service_tree_add() is called with X.
12. cfq_group_service_tree_add() applies its new_weight (500) and adds it
to children_weight of root. children_weight becomes 0. Calcularion of
vfr triggers oops by divide error.
weight should be updated right before adding it to children_weight.

cgroup: replace cftype->write_string() with cftype->write()
Convert all cftype->write_string() users to the new cftype->write()
which maps directly to kernfs write operation and has full access to
kernfs and cgroup contexts. The conversions are mostly mechanical.
* @css and @cft are accessed using of_css() and of_cft() accessors
respectively instead of being specified as arguments.
* Should return @nbytes on success instead of 0.
* @buf is not trimmed automatically. Trim if necessary. Note that
blkcg and netprio don't need this as the parsers already handle
whitespaces.
cftype->write_string() has no user left after the conversions and
removed.
While at it, remove unnecessary local variable @p in
cgroup_subtree_control_write() and stale comment about
CGROUP_LOCAL_BUFFER_SIZE in cgroup_freezer.c.
This patch doesn't introduce any visible behavior changes.
v2: netprio was missing from conversion. Converted.

cgroup: update the meaning of cftype->max_write_len
cftype->max_write_len is used to extend the maximum size of writes.
It's interpreted in such a way that the actual maximum size is one
less than the specified value. The default size is defined by
CGROUP_LOCAL_BUFFER_SIZE. Its interpretation is quite confusing - its
value is decremented by 1 and then compared for equality with max
size, which means that the actual default size is
CGROUP_LOCAL_BUFFER_SIZE - 2, which is 62 chars.
There's no point in having a limit that low. Update its definition so
that it means the actual string length sans termination and anything
below PAGE_SIZE-1 is treated as PAGE_SIZE-1.
.max_write_len for "release_agent" is updated to PATH_MAX-1 and
cgroup_release_agent_write() is updated so that the redundant strlen()
check is removed and it uses strlcpy() instead of strcpy().
.max_write_len initializations in blk-throttle.c and cfq-iosched.c are
no longer necessary and removed. The one in cpuset is kept unchanged
as it's an approximated value to begin with.
This will also make transition to kernfs smoother.

cgroup: replace cftype->read_seq_string() with cftype->seq_show()
In preparation of conversion to kernfs, cgroup file handling is
updated so that it can be easily mapped to kernfs. This patch
replaces cftype->read_seq_string() with cftype->seq_show() which is
not limited to single_open() operation and will map directcly to
kernfs seq_file interface.
The conversions are mechanical. As ->seq_show() doesn't have @css and
@cft, the functions which make use of them are converted to use
seq_css() and seq_cft() respectively. In several occassions, e.f. if
it has seq_string in its name, the function name is updated to fit the
new method better.
This patch does not introduce any behavior changes.

cgroup: pass around cgroup_subsys_state instead of cgroup in file methods
cgroup is currently in the process of transitioning to using struct
cgroup_subsys_state * as the primary handle instead of struct cgroup.
Please see the previous commit which converts the subsystem methods
for rationale.
This patch converts all cftype file operations to take @css instead of
@cgroup. cftypes for the cgroup core files don't have their subsytem
pointer set. These will automatically use the dummy_css added by the
previous patch and can be converted the same way.
Most subsystem conversions are straight forwards but there are some
interesting ones.
* freezer: update_if_frozen() is also converted to take @css instead
of @cgroup for consistency. This will make the code look simpler
too once iterators are converted to use css.
* memory/vmpressure: mem_cgroup_from_css() needs to be exported to
vmpressure while mem_cgroup_from_cont() can be made static.
Updated accordingly.
* cpu: cgroup_tg() doesn't have any user left. Removed.
* cpuacct: cgroup_ca() doesn't have any user left. Removed.
* hugetlb: hugetlb_cgroup_form_cgroup() doesn't have any user left.
Removed.
* net_cls: cgrp_cls_state() doesn't have any user left. Removed.

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.

hlist: drop the node parameter from iterators
I'm not sure why, but the hlist for each entry iterators were conceived
list_for_each_entry(pos, head, member)
The hlist ones were greedy and wanted an extra parameter:
hlist_for_each_entry(tpos, pos, head, member)
Why did they need an extra pos parameter? I'm not quite sure. Not only
they don't really need it, it also prevents the iterator from looking
exactly like the list iterator, which is unfortunate.
Besides the semantic patch, there was some manual work required:
- Fix up the actual hlist iterators in linux/list.h
- Fix up the declaration of other iterators based on the hlist ones.
- A very small amount of places were using the 'node' parameter, this
was modified to use 'obj->member' instead.
- Coccinelle didn't handle the hlist_for_each_entry_safe iterator
properly, so those had to be fixed up manually.
The semantic patch which is mostly the work of Peter Senna Tschudin is here:

cfq: fix lock imbalance with failed allocations
While stress-running very-small container scenarios with the Kernel Memory
Controller, I've run into a lockdep-detected lock imbalance in
cfq-iosched.c.
I'll apologize beforehand for not posting a backlog: I didn't anticipate
it would be so hard to reproduce, so I didn't save my serial output and
went directly on debugging. Turns out that it did not happen again in
more than 20 runs, making it a quite rare pattern.
But here is my analysis:
When we are in very low-memory situations, we will arrive at
cfq_find_alloc_queue and may not find a queue, having to resort to the oom
queue, in an rcu-locked condition:
if (!cfqq || cfqq == &cfqd->oom_cfqq)
[ ... ]
Next, we will release the rcu lock, and try to allocate a queue, retrying
if we succeed:
rcu_read_unlock();
spin_unlock_irq(cfqd->queue->queue_lock);
new_cfqq = kmem_cache_alloc_node(cfq_pool,
gfp_mask | __GFP_ZERO,
cfqd->queue->node);
spin_lock_irq(cfqd->queue->queue_lock);
if (new_cfqq)
goto retry;
We are unlocked at this point, but it should be fine, since we will
reacquire the rcu_read_lock when we retry.
Except of course, that we may not retry: the allocation may very well fail
and we'll keep on going through the flow:
The next branch is:
if (cfqq) {
[ ... ]
} else
cfqq = &cfqd->oom_cfqq;
And right before exiting, we'll issue rcu_read_unlock().
Being already unlocked, this is the likely source of our imbalance. Since
cfqq is either already NULL or made NULL in the first statement of the
outter branch, the only viable alternative here seems to be to return the
oom queue right away in case of allocation failure.
Please review the following patch and apply if you agree with my analysis.

cfq-iosched: collect stats from dead cfqgs
To support hierarchical stats, it's necessary to remember stats from
dead children. Add cfqg->dead_stats and make a dying cfqg transfer
its stats to the parent's dead-stats.
The transfer happens form ->pd_offline_fn() and it is possible that
there are some residual IOs completing afterwards. Currently, we lose
these stats. Given that cgroup removal isn't a very high frequency
operation and the amount of residual IOs on offline are likely to be
nil or small, this shouldn't be a big deal and the complexity needed
to handle residual IOs - another callback and rather elaborate
synchronization to reach and lock the matching q - doesn't seem
justified.

cfq-iosched: enable full blkcg hierarchy support
With the previous two patches, all cfqg scheduling decisions are based
on vfraction and ready for hierarchy support. The only thing which
keeps the behavior flat is cfqg_flat_parent() which makes vfraction
calculation consider all non-root cfqgs children of the root cfqg.
Replace it with cfqg_parent() which returns the real parent. This
enables full blkcg hierarchy support for cfq-iosched. For example,
consider the following hierarchy.
root
/ \
A:500 B:250
/ \
AA:500 AB:1000
For simplicity, let's say all the leaf nodes have active tasks and are
on service tree. For each leaf node, vfraction would be
AA: (500 / 1500) * (500 / 750) =~ 0.2222
AB: (1000 / 1500) * (500 / 750) =~ 0.4444
B: (250 / 750) =~ 0.3333
and vdisktime will be distributed accordingly. For more detail,
please refer to Documentation/block/cfq-iosched.txt.
v2: cfq-iosched.txt updated to describe group scheduling as suggested
by Vivek.
v3: blkio-controller.txt updated.

cfq-iosched: convert cfq_group_slice() to use cfqg->vfraction
cfq_group_slice() calculates slice by taking a fraction of
cfq_target_latency according to the ratio of cfqg->weight against
service_tree->total_weight. This currently works only because all
cfqgs are treated to be at the same level.
To prepare for proper hierarchy support, convert cfq_group_slice() to
base the calculation on cfqg->vfraction. As cfqg->vfraction is always
a fraction of 1 and represents the fraction allocated to the cfqg with
hierarchy considered, the slice can be simply calculated by
multiplying cfqg->vfraction to cfq_target_latency (with fixed point
shift factored in).
As vfraction calculation currently treats all non-root cfqgs as
children of the root cfqg, this patch doesn't introduce noticeable
behavior difference.

cfq-iosched: implement hierarchy-ready cfq_group charge scaling
Currently, cfqg charges are scaled directly according to cfqg->weight.
Regardless of the number of active cfqgs or the amount of active
weights, a given weight value always scales charge the same way. This
works fine as long as all cfqgs are treated equally regardless of
their positions in the hierarchy, which is what cfq currently
implements. It can't work in hierarchical settings because the
interpretation of a given weight value depends on where the weight is
located in the hierarchy.
This patch reimplements cfqg charge scaling so that it can be used to
support hierarchy properly. The scheme is fairly simple and
light-weight.
* When a cfqg is added to the service tree, v(disktime)weight is
calculated. It walks up the tree to root calculating the fraction
it has in the hierarchy. At each level, the fraction can be
calculated as
cfqg->weight / parent->level_weight
By compounding these, the global fraction of vdisktime the cfqg has
claim to - vfraction - can be determined.
* When the cfqg needs to be charged, the charge is scaled inversely
proportionally to the vfraction.
The new scaling scheme uses the same CFQ_SERVICE_SHIFT for fixed point
representation as before; however, the smallest scaling factor is now
1 (ie. 1 << CFQ_SERVICE_SHIFT). This is different from before where 1
was for CFQ_WEIGHT_DEFAULT and higher weight would result in smaller
scaling factor.
While this shifts the global scale of vdisktime a bit, it doesn't
change the relative relationships among cfqgs and the scheduling
result isn't different.
cfq_group_notify_queue_add uses fixed CFQ_IDLE_DELAY when appending
new cfqg to the service tree. The specific value of CFQ_IDLE_DELAY
didn't have any relevance to vdisktime before and is unlikely to cause
any visible behavior difference now especially as the scale shift
isn't that large.
As the new scheme now makes proper distinction between cfqg->weight
and ->leaf_weight, reverse the weight aliasing for root cfqgs. For
root, both weights are now mapped to ->leaf_weight instead of the
other way around.
Because we're still using cfqg_flat_parent(), this patch shouldn't
change the scheduling behavior in any noticeable way.
v2: Beefed up comments on vfraction as requested by Vivek.

cfq-iosched: implement cfq_group->nr_active and ->children_weight
To prepare for blkcg hierarchy support, add cfqg->nr_active and
->children_weight. cfqg->nr_active counts the number of active cfqgs
at the cfqg's level and ->children_weight is sum of weights of those
cfqgs. The level covers itself (cfqg->leaf_weight) and immediate
children.
The two values are updated when a cfqg enters and leaves the group
service tree. Unless the hierarchy is very deep, the added overhead
should be negligible.
Currently, the parent is determined using cfqg_flat_parent() which
makes the root cfqg the parent of all other cfqgs. This is to make
the transition to hierarchy-aware scheduling gradual. Scheduling
logic will be converted to use cfqg->children_weight without actually
changing the behavior. When everything is ready,
blkcg_weight_parent() will be replaced with proper parent function.
This patch doesn't introduce any behavior chagne.

cfq-iosched: add leaf_weight
cfq blkcg is about to grow proper hierarchy handling, where a child
blkg's weight would nest inside the parent's. This makes tasks in a
blkg to compete against both tasks in the sibling blkgs and the tasks
of child blkgs.
We're gonna use the existing weight as the group weight which decides
the blkg's weight against its siblings. This patch introduces a new
weight - leaf_weight - which decides the weight of a blkg against the
child blkgs.
It's named leaf_weight because another way to look at it is that each
internal blkg nodes have a hidden child leaf node which contains all
its tasks and leaf_weight is the weight of the leaf node and handled
the same as the weight of the child blkgs.
This patch only adds leaf_weight fields and exposes it to userland.
The new weight isn't actually used anywhere yet. Note that
cfq-iosched currently offcially supports only single level hierarchy
and root blkgs compete with the first level blkgs - ie. root weight is
basically being used as leaf_weight. For root blkgs, the two weights
are kept in sync for backward compatibility.
v2: cfqd->root_group->leaf_weight initialization was missing from
cfq_init_queue() causing divide by zero when
!CONFIG_CFQ_GROUP_SCHED. Fix it. Reported by Fengguang.

cfq1234S --> sync queus
cfq1234SN --> sync noidle queue
cfq1234A --> Async queue

block CFQ: avoid moving request to different queue
request is queued in cfqq->fifo list. Looks it's possible we are moving a
request from one cfqq to another in request merge case. In such case, adjusting
the fifo list order doesn't make sense and is impossible if we don't iterate
the whole fifo list.
My test does hit one case the two cfqq are different, but didn't cause kernel
crash, maybe it's because fifo list isn't used frequently. Anyway, from the
code logic, this is buggy.

blkcg: drop stuff unused after per-queue policy activation update
* All_q_list is unused. Drop all_q_{mutex|list}.
* @for_root of blkg_lookup_create() is always %false when called from
outside blk-cgroup.c proper. Factor out __blkg_lookup_create() so
that it doesn't check whether @q is bypassing and use the
underscored version for the @for_root callsite.

is always %true. Make it static and drop @destroy_root.

blkcg: implement per-queue policy activation
All blkcg policies were assumed to be enabled on all request_queues.
Due to various implementation obstacles, during the recent blkcg core
updates, this was temporarily implemented as shooting down all !root
blkgs on elevator switch and policy [de]registration combined with
half-broken in-place root blkg updates. In addition to being buggy
and racy, this meant losing all blkcg configurations across those
events.
Now that blkcg is cleaned up enough, this patch replaces the temporary
implementation with proper per-queue policy activation. Each blkcg
policy should call the new blkcg_[de]activate_policy() to enable and
disable the policy on a specific queue. blkcg_activate_policy()
allocates and installs policy data for the policy for all existing
blkgs. blkcg_deactivate_policy() does the reverse. If a policy is
not enabled for a given queue, blkg printing / config functions skip
the respective blkg for the queue.
blkcg_activate_policy() also takes care of root blkg creation, and
cfq_init_queue() and blk_throtl_init() are updated accordingly.
This replaces blkcg_bypass_{start|end}() and update_root_blkg_pd()
unnecessary. Dropped.
v2: cfq_init_queue() was returning uninitialized @ret on root_group
alloc failure if !CONFIG_CFQ_GROUP_IOSCHED. Fixed.

blkcg: move conf/stat file handling code to policies
blkcg conf/stat handling is convoluted in that details which belong to
specific policy implementations are all out in blkcg core and then
policies hook into core layer to access and manipulate confs and
stats. This sadly achieves both inflexibility (confs/stats can't be
modified without messing with blkcg core) and complexity (all the
call-ins and call-backs).
The previous patches restructured conf and stat handling code such
that they can be separated out. This patch relocates the file
handling part. All conf/stat file handling code which belongs to
BLKIO_POLICY_PROP is moved to cfq-iosched.c and all
BKLIO_POLICY_THROTL code to blk-throtl.c.
The move is verbatim except for blkio_update_group_{weight|bps|iops}()
callbacks which relays conf changes to policies. The configuration
settings are handled in policies themselves so the relaying isn't
necessary. Conf setting functions are modified to directly call
per-policy update functions and the relaying mechanism is dropped.

block: Make cfq_target_latency tunable through sysfs.
In cfq, when we calculate a time slice for a process(or a cfqq to
be precise), we have to consider the cfq_target_latency so that all the
sync request have an estimated latency(300ms) and it is controlled by
cfq_target_latency. But in some hadoop test, we have found that if
there are many processes doing sequential read(24 for example), the
throughput is bad because every process can only work for about 25ms
and the cfqq is switched. That leads to a higher disk seek. We can
achive the good throughput by setting low_latency=0, but then some
read's latency is too much for the application.
So this patch makes cfq_target_latency tunable through sysfs so that
we can tune it and find some magic number which is not bad for both
the throughput and the read latency.

cfq: don't use icq_get_changed()
cfq caches the associated cfqq's for a given cic. The cache needs to
be flushed if the cic's ioprio or blkcg has changed. It is currently
done by requiring the changing action to set the respective
ICQ_*_CHANGED bit in the icq and testing it from cfq_set_request(),
which involves iterating through all the affected icqs.
All cfq wants to know is whether ioprio and/or blkcg have changed
since the last flush and can be easily achieved by just remembering
the current ioprio and blkcg ID in cic.
This patch adds cic->{ioprio|blkcg_id}, updates all ioprio users to
use the remembered value instead, and updates cfq_set_request() path
such that, instead of using icq_get_changed(), the current values are
compared against the remembered ones and trigger appropriate flush
action if not. Condition tests are moved inside both _changed
functions which are now named check_ioprio_changed() and
check_blkcg_changed().
ioprio.h::task_ioprio*() can't be used anymore and replaced with
open-coded IOPRIO_CLASS_NONE case in cfq_async_queue_prio().

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.

blkcg: drop unnecessary RCU locking
Now that blkg additions / removals are always done under both q and
blkcg locks, the only places RCU locking is necessary are
blkg_lookup[_create]() for lookup w/o blkcg lock. This patch drops
unncessary RCU locking replacing it with plain blkcg locking as
necessary.
* blkiocg_pre_destroy() already perform proper locking and don't need
RCU. Dropped.
* blkio_read_blkg_stats() now uses blkcg->lock instead of RCU read
lock. This isn't a hot path.
* Now unnecessary synchronize_rcu() from queue exit paths removed.
This makes q->nr_blkgs unnecessary. Dropped.
* RCU annotation on blkg->q removed.
-v2: Vivek pointed out that blkg_lookup_create() still needs to be
called under rcu_read_lock(). Updated.
-v3: After the update, stats_lock locking in blkio_read_blkg_stats()
shouldn't be using _irq variant as it otherwise ends up enabling
irq while blkcg->lock is locked. Fixed.

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.

blkcg: let blkcg core manage per-queue blkg list and counter
With the previous patch to move blkg list heads and counters to
request_queue and blkg, logic to manage them in both policies are
almost identical and can be moved to blkcg core.
This patch moves blkg link logic into blkg_lookup_create(), implements
common blkg unlink code in blkg_destroy(), and updates
blkg_destory_all() so that it's policy specific and can skip root
group. The updated blkg_destroy_all() is now used to both clear queue
for bypassing and elv switching, and release all blkgs on q exit.
This patch introduces a race window where policy [de]registration may
race against queue blkg clearing. This can only be a problem on cfq
unload and shouldn't be a real problem in practice (and we have many
other places where this race already exists). Future patches will
remove these unlikely races.

blkcg: move per-queue blkg list heads and counters to queue and blkg
Currently, specific policy implementations are responsible for
maintaining list and number of blkgs. This duplicates code
unnecessarily, and hinders factoring common code and providing blkcg
API with better defined semantics.
After this patch, request_queue hosts list heads and counters and blkg
has list nodes for both policies. This patch only relocates the
necessary fields and the next patch will actually move management code
into blkcg core.
Note that request_queue->blkg_list[] and ->nr_blkgs[] are hardcoded to
have 2 elements. This is to avoid include dependency and will be
removed by the next patch.
This patch doesn't introduce any behavior change.
-v2: Now unnecessary conditional on CONFIG_BLK_CGROUP_MODULE removed
as pointed out by Vivek.

blkcg: don't use blkg->plid in stat related functions
blkg is scheduled to be unified for all policies and thus there won't
be one-to-one mapping from blkg to policy. Update stat related
functions to take explicit @pol or @plid arguments and not use
blkg->plid.
This is painful for now but most of specific stat interface functions
will be replaced with a handful of generic helpers.

blkcg: let blkcg core handle policy private data allocation
Currently, blkg's are embedded in private data blkcg policy private
data structure and thus allocated and freed by policies. This leads
to duplicate codes in policies, hinders implementing common part in
blkcg core with strong semantics, and forces duplicate blkg's for the
same cgroup-q association.
This patch introduces struct blkg_policy_data which is a separate data
structure chained from blkg. Policies specifies the amount of private
data it needs in its blkio_policy_type->pdata_size and blkcg core
takes care of allocating them along with blkg which can be accessed
using blkg_to_pdata(). blkg can be determined from pdata using
pdata_to_blkg(). blkio_alloc_group_fn() method is accordingly updated
to blkio_init_group_fn().
For consistency, tg_of_blkg() and cfqg_of_blkg() are replaced with
blkg_to_tg() and blkg_to_cfqg() respectively, and functions to map in
the reverse direction are added.
Except that policy specific data now lives in a separate data
structure from blkg, this patch doesn't introduce any functional
difference.
This will be used to unify blkg's for different policies.

Currently, blkg points to the associated blkcg via its css_id. This
unnecessarily complicates dereferencing blkcg. Let blkg hold a
reference to the associated blkcg and point directly to it and disable
css_id on blkio_subsys.
This change requires splitting blkiocg_destroy() into
blkiocg_pre_destroy() and blkiocg_destroy() so that all blkg's can be
destroyed and all the blkcg references held by them dropped during
cgroup removal.

blkcg: kill the mind-bending blkg->dev
blkg->dev is dev_t recording the device number of the block device for
the associated request_queue. It is used to identify the associated
block device when printing out configuration or stats.
This is redundant to begin with. A blkg is an association between a
cgroup and a request_queue and it of course is possible to reach
request_queue from blkg and synchronization conventions are in place
for safe q dereferencing, so this shouldn't be necessary from the
beginning. Furthermore, it's initialized by sscanf()ing the device
name of backing_dev_info. The mind boggles.
Anyways, if blkg is visible under rcu lock, we *know* that the
associated request_queue hasn't gone away yet and its bdi is
registered and alive - blkg can't be created for request_queue which
hasn't been fully initialized and it can't go away before blkg is
removed.
Let stat and conf read functions get device name from
blkg->q->backing_dev_info.dev and pass it down to printing functions
and remove blkg->dev.

blkcg: don't allow or retain configuration of missing devices
blkcg is very peculiar in that it allows setting and remembering
configurations for non-existent devices by maintaining separate data
structures for configuration.
This behavior is completely out of the usual norms and outright
confusing; furthermore, it uses dev_t number to match the
configuration to devices, which is unpredictable to begin with and
becomes completely unuseable if EXT_DEVT is fully used.
It is wholely unnecessary - we already have fully functional userland
mechanism to program devices being hotplugged which has full access to
device identification, connection topology and filesystem information.
Add a new struct blkio_group_conf which contains all blkcg
configurations to blkio_group and let blkio_group, which can be
created iff the associated device exists and is removed when the
associated device goes away, carry all configurations.
Note that, after this patch, all newly created blkg's will always have
the default configuration (unlimited for throttling and blkcg's weight
for propio).
This patch makes blkio_policy_node meaningless but doesn't remove it.
The next patch will.

blkcg: factor out blkio_group creation
Currently both blk-throttle and cfq-iosched implement their own
blkio_group creation code in throtl_get_tg() and cfq_get_cfqg(). This
patch factors out the common code into blkg_lookup_create(), which
returns ERR_PTR value so that transitional failures due to queue
bypass can be distinguished from other failures.
* New plkio_policy_ops methods blkio_alloc_group_fn() and
blkio_link_group_fn added. Both are transitional and will be
removed once the blkg management code is fully moved into
blk-cgroup.c.
* blkio_alloc_group_fn() allocates policy-specific blkg which is
usually a larger data structure with blkg as the first entry and
intiailizes it. Note that initialization of blkg proper, including
percpu stats, is responsibility of blk-cgroup proper.
Note that default config (weight, bps...) initialization is done
from this method; otherwise, we end up violating locking order
between blkcg and q locks via blkcg_get_CONF() functions.
* blkio_link_group_fn() is called under queue_lock and responsible for
linking the blkg to the queue. blkcg side is handled by blk-cgroup
proper.
* The common blkg creation function is named blkg_lookup_create() and
blkiocg_lookup_group() is renamed to blkg_lookup() for consistency.
Also, throtl / cfq related functions are similarly [re]named for
consistency.
This simplifies blkcg policy implementations and enables further
cleanup.
-v2: Vivek noticed that blkg_lookup_create() incorrectly tested
blk_queue_dead() instead of blk_queue_bypass() leading a user of
the function ending up creating a new blkg on bypassing queue.
This is a bug introduced while relocating bypass patches before
this one. Fixed.
-v3: ERR_PTR patch folded into this one. @for_root added to
blkg_lookup_create() to allow creating root group on a bypassed
queue during elevator switch.

blkcg: use the usual get blkg path for root blkio_group
For root blkg, blk_throtl_init() was using throtl_alloc_tg()
explicitly and cfq_init_queue() was manually initializing embedded
cfqd->root_group, adding unnecessarily different code paths to blkg
handling.
Make both use the usual blkio_group get functions - throtl_get_tg()
and cfq_get_cfqg() - for the root blkio_group too. Note that
blk_throtl_init() callsite is pushed downwards in
blk_alloc_queue_node() so that @q is sufficiently initialized for
throtl_get_tg().
This simplifies root blkg handling noticeably for cfq and will allow
further modularization of blkcg API.
-v2: Vivek pointed out that using cfq_get_cfqg() won't work if
CONFIG_CFQ_GROUP_IOSCHED is disabled. Fix it by factoring out
initialization of base part of cfqg into cfq_init_cfqg_base() and
alloc/init/free explicitly if !CONFIG_CFQ_GROUP_IOSCHED.

blkcg: shoot down blkio_groups on elevator switch
Elevator switch may involve changes to blkcg policies. Implement
shoot down of blkio_groups.
Combined with the previous bypass updates, the end goal is updating
blkcg core such that it can ensure that blkcg's being affected become
quiescent and don't have any per-blkg data hanging around before
commencing any policy updates. Until queues are made aware of the
policies that applies to them, as an interim step, all per-policy blkg
data will be shot down.
* blk-throtl doesn't need this change as it can't be disabled for a
live queue; however, update it anyway as the scheduled blkg
unification requires this behavior change. This means that
blk-throtl configuration will be unnecessarily lost over elevator
switch. This oddity will be removed after blkcg learns to associate
individual policies with request_queues.
* blk-throtl dosen't shoot down root_tg. This is to ease transition.
Unified blkg will always have persistent root group and not shooting
down root_tg for now eases transition to that point by avoiding
having to update td->root_tg and is safe as blk-throtl can never be
disabled
-v2: Vivek pointed out that group list is not guaranteed to be empty
on return from clear function if it raced cgroup removal and
lost. Fix it by waiting a bit and retrying. This kludge will
soon be removed once locking is updated such that blkg is never
in limbo state between blkcg and request_queue locks.
blk-throtl no longer shoots down root_tg to avoid breaking
td->root_tg.
Also, Nest queue_lock inside blkio_list_lock not the other way
around to avoid introduce possible deadlock via blkcg lock.
-v3: blkcg_clear_queue() repositioned and renamed to
blkg_destroy_all() to increase consistency with later changes.
cfq_clear_queue() updated to check q->elevator before
dereferencing it to avoid NULL dereference on not fully
initialized queues (used by later change).

block: don't call elevator callbacks for plug merges
Plug merge calls two elevator callbacks outside queue lock -
elevator_allow_merge_fn() and elevator_bio_merged_fn(). Although
attempt_plug_merge() suggests that elevator is guaranteed to be there
through the existing request on the plug list, nothing prevents plug
merge from calling into dying or initializing elevator.
For regular merges, bypass ensures elvpriv count to reach zero, which
in turn prevents merges as all !ELVPRIV requests get REQ_SOFTBARRIER
from forced back insertion. Plug merge doesn't check ELVPRIV, and, as
the requests haven't gone through elevator insertion yet, it doesn't
have SOFTBARRIER set allowing merges on a bypassed queue.
This, for example, leads to the following crash during elevator
switch.

There are multiple ways to fix this including making plug merge check
ELVPRIV; however,
* Calling into elevator outside queue lock is confusing and
error-prone.
* Requests on plug list aren't known to the elevator. They aren't on
the elevator yet, so there's no elevator specific state to update.
* Given the nature of plug merges - collecting bio's for the same
purpose from the same issuer - elevator specific restrictions aren't
applicable.
So, simply don't call into elevator methods from plug merge by moving
elv_bio_merged() from bio_attempt_*_merge() to blk_queue_bio(), and
using blk_try_merge() in attempt_plug_merge().
This is based on Jens' patch to skip elevator_allow_merge_fn() from
plug merge.
Note that this makes per-cgroup merged stats skip plug merging.

block: strip out locking optimization in put_io_context()
put_io_context() performed a complex trylock dancing to avoid
deferring ioc release to workqueue. It was also broken on UP because
trylock was always assumed to succeed which resulted in unbalanced
preemption count.
While there are ways to fix the UP breakage, even the most
pathological microbench (forced ioc allocation and tight fork/exit
loop) fails to show any appreciable performance benefit of the
optimization. Strip it out. If there turns out to be workloads which
are affected by this change, simpler optimization from the discussion
thread can be applied later.

cfq-iosched: fix use-after-free of cfqq
With the changes in life time management between the cfq IO contexts
and the cfq queues, we now risk having cfqd->active_queue being
freed when cfq_slice_expired() is being called. cfq_preempt_queue()
caches this queue and uses it after calling said function, causing
a use-after-free condition. This triggers the following oops,
when cfqq_type() attempts to dereference it:

block, cfq: move icq creation and rq->elv.icq association to block core
Now block layer knows everything necessary to create and associate
icq's with requests. Move ioc_create_icq() to blk-ioc.c and update
get_request() such that, if elevator_type->icq_size is set, requests
are automatically associated with their matching icq's before
elv_set_request(). io_context reference is also managed by block core
on request alloc/free.
* Only ioprio/cgroup changed handling remains from cfq_get_cic().
Collapsed into cfq_set_request().
* This removes queue kicking on icq allocation failure (for now). As
icq allocation failure is rare and the only effect of queue kicking
achieved was possibily accelerating queue processing, this change
shouldn't be noticeable.
There is a larger underlying problem. Unlike request allocation,
icq allocation is not guaranteed to succeed eventually after
retries. The number of icq is unbound and thus mempool can't be the
solution either. This effectively adds allocation dependency on
memory free path and thus possibility of deadlock.
This usually wouldn't happen because icq allocation is not a hot
path and, even when the condition triggers, it's highly unlikely
that none of the writeback workers already has icq.
However, this is still possible especially if elevator is being
switched under high memory pressure, so we better get it fixed.
Probably the only solution is just bypassing elevator and appending
to dispatch queue on any elevator allocation failure.
* Comment added to explain how icq's are managed and synchronized.
This completes cleanup of io_context interface.

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

with elevator_ops->elevator_exit_icq_fn() with unlinking from both ioc

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.

block, cfq: reorganize cfq_io_context into generic and cfq specific parts
Currently io_context and cfq logics are mixed without clear boundary.
Most of io_context is independent from cfq but cfq_io_context handling
logic is dispersed between generic ioc code and cfq.
cfq_io_context represents association between an io_context and a
request_queue, which is a concept useful outside of cfq, but it also
contains fields which are useful only to cfq.
This patch takes out generic part and put it into io_cq (io
context-queue) and the rest into cfq_io_cq (cic moniker remains the
same) which contains io_cq. The following changes are made together.
* cfq_ttime and cfq_io_cq now live in cfq-iosched.c.
* All related fields, functions and constants are renamed accordingly.
* ioc->ioc_data is now "struct io_cq *" instead of "void *" and
renamed to icq_hint.
This prepares for io_context API cleanup. Documentation is currently
sparse. It will be added later.

deadlock warning.
Given the restriction, accessor + creator rolled into one doesn't work
too well. Drop current_io_context() and let the users access
task->io_context directly inside queue_lock combined with explicit
creation using create_io_context().
Future ioc updates will further consolidate ioc access and the create

block, cfq: unlink cfq_io_context's immediately
cic is association between io_context and request_queue. A cic is
linked from both ioc and q and should be destroyed when either one
goes away. As ioc and q both have their own locks, locking becomes a
bit complex - both orders work for removal from one but not from the
other.
Currently, cfq tries to circumvent this locking order issue with RCU.
ioc->lock nests inside queue_lock but the radix tree and cic's are
also protected by RCU allowing either side to walk their lists without
grabbing lock.
This rather unconventional use of RCU quickly devolves into extremely
fragile convolution. e.g. The following is from cfqd going away too
soon after ioc and q exits raced.

The only real hot path here is cic lookup during request
initialization and avoiding extra locking requires very confined use
of RCU. This patch makes cic removal from both ioc and request_queue
perform double-locking and unlink immediately.
* From q side, the change is almost trivial as ioc->lock nests inside
queue_lock. It just needs to grab each ioc->lock as it walks
cic_list and unlink it.
* From ioc side, it's a bit more difficult because of inversed lock
order. ioc needs its lock to walk its cic_list but can't grab the
matching queue_lock and needs to perform unlock-relock dancing.
Unlinking is now wholly done from put_io_context() and fast path is
optimized by using the queue_lock the caller already holds, which is
by far the most common case. If the ioc accessed multiple devices,
it tries with trylock. In unlikely cases of fast path failure, it
falls back to full double-locking dance from workqueue.
Double-locking isn't the prettiest thing in the world but it's *far*
simpler and more understandable than RCU trick without adding any
meaningful overhead.
This still leaves a lot of now unnecessary RCU logics. Future patches
will trim them.

cic->release() was called. Updated to use local variable @this_q
instead.

block, cfq: fix cic lookup locking
* cfq_cic_lookup() may be called without queue_lock and multiple tasks
can execute it simultaneously for the same shared ioc. Nothing
prevents them racing each other and trying to drop the same dead cic
entry multiple times.
* smp_wmb() in cfq_exit_cic() doesn't really do anything and nothing
prevents cfq_cic_lookup() seeing stale cic->key. This usually
doesn't blow up because by the time cic is exited, all requests have
been drained and new requests are terminated before going through
elevator. However, it can still be triggered by plug merge path
which doesn't grab queue_lock and thus can't check DEAD state
reliably.
This patch updates lookup locking such that,
* Lookup is always performed under queue_lock. This doesn't add any
more locking. The only issue is cfq_allow_merge() which can be
called from plug merge path without holding any lock. For now, this
is worked around by using cic of the request to merge into, which is
guaranteed to have the same ioc. For longer term, I think it would
be best to separate out plug merge method from regular one.
* Spurious ioc->lock locking around cic lookup hint assignment
dropped.

block, cfq: fix race condition in cic creation path and tighten locking
cfq_get_io_context() would fail if multiple tasks race to insert cic's
for the same association. This patch restructures
cfq_get_io_context() such that slow path insertion race is handled
properly.
Note that the restructuring also makes cfq_get_io_context() called
under queue_lock and performs both ioc and cfqd insertions while
holding both ioc and queue locks. This is part of on-going locking
tightening and will be used to simplify synchronization rules.

block, cfq: move ioc ioprio/cgroup changed handling to cic
ioprio/cgroup change was handled by marking the changed state in ioc
and, on the following access to the ioc, performing RCU-protected
iteration through all cic's grabbing the matching queue_lock.
This patch moves the changed state to each cic. When ioprio or cgroup
changes, the respective bit is set on all cic's of the ioc and when
each of those cic (not ioc) is accessed, change is applied for that
specific ioc-queue pair.
This also fixes the following two race conditions between setting and
clearing of changed states.
* Missing barrier between assign/load of ioprio and ioprio_changed
allowed applying old ioprio.
* Change requests could happen between application of change and
clearing of changed variables.

block: make ioc get/put interface more conventional and fix race on alloction
Ignoring copy_io() during fork, io_context can be allocated from two
places - current_io_context() and set_task_ioprio(). The former is
always called from local task while the latter can be called from
different task. The synchornization between them are peculiar and
dubious.
* current_io_context() doesn't grab task_lock() and assumes that if it
saw %NULL ->io_context, it would stay that way until allocation and
assignment is complete. It has smp_wmb() between alloc/init and
assignment.
* set_task_ioprio() grabs task_lock() for assignment and does
smp_read_barrier_depends() between "ioc = task->io_context" and "if
(ioc)". Unfortunately, this doesn't achieve anything - the latter
is not a dependent load of the former. ie, if ioc itself were being
dereferenced "ioc->xxx", it would mean something (not sure what tho)
but as the code currently stands, the dependent read barrier is
noop.
As only one of the the two test-assignment sequences is task_lock()
protected, the task_lock() can't do much about race between the two.
Nothing prevents current_io_context() and set_task_ioprio() allocating
its own ioc for the same task and overwriting the other's.
Also, set_task_ioprio() can race with exiting task and create a new
ioc after exit_io_context() is finished.
ioc get/put doesn't have any reason to be complex. The only hot path
is accessing the existing ioc of %current, which is simple to achieve
given that ->io_context is never destroyed as long as the task is
alive. All other paths can happily go through task_lock() like all
other task sub structures without impacting anything.
This patch updates ioc get/put so that it becomes more conventional.
* alloc_io_context() is replaced with get_task_io_context(). This is
the only interface which can acquire access to ioc of another task.
On return, the caller has an explicit reference to the object which
should be put using put_io_context() afterwards.
* The functionality of current_io_context() remains the same but when
creating a new ioc, it shares the code path with
get_task_io_context() and always goes through task_lock().
* get_io_context() now means incrementing ref on an ioc which the
caller already has access to (be that an explicit refcnt or implicit
%current one).
* PF_EXITING inhibits creation of new io_context and once
exit_io_context() is finished, it's guaranteed that both ioc
acquisition functions return %NULL.
* All users are updated. Most are trivial but
smp_read_barrier_depends() removal from cfq_get_io_context() needs a
bit of explanation. I suppose the original intention was to ensure
ioc->ioprio is visible when set_task_ioprio() allocates new
io_context and installs it; however, this wouldn't have worked
because set_task_ioprio() doesn't have wmb between init and install.
There are other problems with this which will be fixed in another
patch.
* While at it, use NUMA_NO_NODE instead of -1 for wildcard node
specification.

cfq-iosched: fix cfq_cic_link() race confition
cfq_cic_link() has race condition. When some processes which shared ioc
issue I/O to same block device simultaneously, cfq_cic_link() returns -EEXIST
sometimes. The race condition might stop I/O by following steps:
step 1: Process A: Issue an I/O to /dev/sda
step 2: Process A: Get an ioc (iocA here) in get_io_context() which does not
linked with a cic for the device
step 3: Process A: Get a new cic for the device (cicA here) in
cfq_alloc_io_context()
step 4: Process B: Issue an I/O to /dev/sda
step 5: Process B: Get iocA in get_io_context() since process A and B share the
same ioc
step 6: Process B: Get a new cic for the device (cicB here) in
cfq_alloc_io_context() since iocA has not been linked with a
cic for the device yet
step 7: Process A: Link cicA to iocA in cfq_cic_link()
step 8: Process A: Dispatch I/O to driver and finish it
step 9: Process B: Try to link cicB to iocA in cfq_cic_link()
But it fails with showing "cfq: cic link failed!" kernel
message, since iocA has already linked with cicA at step 7.
step 10: Process B: Wait for finishig I/O in get_request_wait()
The function does not wake up, when there is no I/O to the
device.
When cfq_cic_link() returns -EEXIST, it means ioc has already linked with cic.
So when cfq_cic_link() return -EEXIST, retry cfq_cic_lookup().

cfq-iosched: Reduce linked group count upon group destruction
FQ keeps track of number of groups which are linked on blkcg->blkg_list.
This is useful to avoid races between queue exit and cgroup exit code
paths. So if at the request queue exit time linked group count is not
zero, that means there are some group out there which is yet to be
deleted under rcu read period and queue exit code should wait for
on rcu period.
In my previous patch I forgot to decrease the number of group count.
So in current form, we nr_blkcg_linked_grps is always non-zero and
we will always wait one rcu period (if BLK_CGROUP=y). The side effect
of this is that it can increase boot time. I am surprised, nobody
complained so far.

fs_excl is a poor man's priority inheritance for filesystems to hint to
the block layer that an operation is important. It was never clearly
specified, not widely adopted, and will not prevent starvation in many
cases (like across cgroups).
fs_excl was introduced with the time sliced CFQ IO scheduler, to
indicate when a process held FS exclusive resources and thus needed
a boost.
It doesn't cover all file systems, and it was never fully complete.

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.
Cheers,
Jeff

Simplify the calculation in cfq_prio_to_maxrq(), plus replace CFQ_PRIO_LISTS to
IOPRIO_BE_NR since they are the same and IOPRIO_BE_NR looks more reasonable in

blk-throttle: Make dispatch stats per cpu
Currently we take blkg_stat lock for even updating the stats. So even if
a group has no throttling rules (common case for root group), we end
up taking blkg_lock, for updating the stats.
Make dispatch stats per cpu so that these can be updated without taking
blkg lock.
If cpu goes offline, these stats simply disappear. No protection has
been provided for that yet. Do we really need anything for that?

blk-cgroup: Allow sleeping while dynamically allocating a group
Currently, all the cfq_group or throtl_group allocations happen while
we are holding ->queue_lock and sleeping is not allowed.
Soon, we will move to per cpu stats and also need to allocate the
per group stats. As one can not call alloc_percpu() from atomic
context as it can sleep, we need to drop ->queue_lock, allocate the
group, retake the lock and continue processing.
In throttling code, I check the queue DEAD flag again to make sure
that driver did not call blk_cleanup_queue() in the mean time.

cfq-iosched: Fix a possible race with cfq cgroup removal code
blkg->key = cfqd is an rcu protected pointer and hence we used to do
call_rcu(cfqd->rcu_head) to free up cfqd after one rcu grace period.
The problem here is that even though cfqd is around, there are no
gurantees that associated request queue (td->queue) or q->queue_lock
is still around. A driver might have called blk_cleanup_queue() and
release the lock.
It might happen that after freeing up the lock we call
blkg->key->queue->queue_ock and crash. This is possible in following
path.
blkiocg_destroy()
blkio_unlink_group_fn()
cfq_unlink_blkio_group()
Hence, wait for an rcu peirod if there are groups which have not
been unlinked from blkcg->blkg_list. That way, if there are any groups
which are taking cfq_unlink_blkio_group() path, can safely take queue
lock.
This is how we have taken care of race in throttling logic also.

blk-throttle: Use task_subsys_state() to determine a task's blkio_cgroup
Currentlly we first map the task to cgroup and then cgroup to
blkio_cgroup. There is a more direct way to get to blkio_cgroup
from task using task_subsys_state(). Use that.
The real reason for the fix is that it also avoids a race in generic
cgroup code. During remount/umount rebind_subsystems() is called and
it can do following with and rcu protection.
cgrp->subsys[i] = NULL;
That means if somebody got hold of cgroup under rcu and then it tried
to do cgroup->subsys[] to get to blkio_cgroup, it would get NULL which
is wrong. I was running into this race condition with ltp running on a
upstream derived kernel and that lead to crash.
So ideally we should also fix cgroup generic code to wait for rcu
grace period before setting pointer to NULL. Li Zefan is not very keen
on introducing synchronize_wait() as he thinks it will slow
down moun/remount/umount operations.
So for the time being atleast fix the kernel crash by taking a more
direct route to blkio_cgroup.
One tester had reported a crash while running LTP on a derived kernel
and with this fix crash is no more seen while the test has been
running for over 6 days.

Version 3 is updated to apply to for-2.6.39/core.
For version 2, I took Vivek's advice and made sure we update the group
weight from cfq_group_service_tree_add().
If a weight was updated while a group is on the service tree, the
calculation for the total weight of the service tree can be adjusted
improperly, which either leads to bad service tree weights, or
potentially crashes (if total_weight becomes 0).
This patch defers updates to the weight until a group is off the service
tree.

cfq-iosched: give busy sync queue no dispatch limit
If there are a sync and an async queue and the sync queue's think time
is small, we can ignore the sync queue's dispatch quantum. Because the
sync queue will always preempt the async queue, we don't need to care
about async's latency. This can fix a performance regression of
aiostress test, which is introduced by commit f8ae6e3eb825. The issue
should exist even without the commit, but the commit amplifies the
impact.
The initial post does the same optimization for RT queue too, but since

cfq-iosched: Don't wait if queue already has requests.
Commit 7667aa0630407bc07dc38dcc79d29cc0a65553c1 added logic to wait for
the last queue of the group to become busy (have at least one request),
so that the group does not lose out for not being continuously
backlogged. The commit did not check for the condition that the last
queue already has some requests. As a result, if the queue already has
requests, wait_busy is set. Later on, cfq_select_queue() checks the
flag, and decides that since the queue has a request now and wait_busy
is set, the queue is expired. This results in early expiration of the
queue.
This patch fixes the problem by adding a check to see if queue already
has requests. If it does, wait_busy is not set. As a result, time slices
do not expire early.
The queues with more than one request are usually buffered writers.
Testing shows improvement in isolation between buffered writers.

cfq830 is an async queue, and preempted by a sync queue cfq874. But since we

Looks currently our preempt is totally broken if the two queues are not from

cfq-iosched: don't idle if a deep seek queue is slow
If a deep seek queue slowly deliver requests but disk is much faster, idle
for the queue just wastes disk throughput. If the queue delevers all requests
before half its slice is used, the patch disable idle for it.
In my test, application delivers 32 requests one time, the disk can accept
128 requests at maxium and disk is fast. without the patch, the throughput
is just around 30m/s, while with it, the speed is about 80m/s. The disk is
a SSD, but is detected as a rotational disk. I can configure it as SSD, but
I thought the deep seek queue logic should be fixed too, for example,
considering a fast raid.

cfq-iosched: schedule dispatch for noidle queue
A queue is idle at cfq_dispatch_requests(), but it gets noidle later. Unless
other task explictly does unplug or all requests are drained, we will not
deliever requests to the disk even cfq_arm_slice_timer doesn't make the
queue idle. For example, cfq_should_idle() returns true because of
service_tree->count == 1, and then other queues are added. Note, I didn't
see obvious performance impacts so far with the patch, but just thought
this could be a problem.

cfq-iosched: Fix a gcc 4.5 warning and put some comments
- Andi encountedred following warning with gcc 4.5
linux/block/cfq-iosched.c: In function ‘cfq_dispatch_requests’:
linux/block/cfq-iosched.c:2156:3: warning: array subscript is above array
bounds
- Warning happens due to following code.
slice = group_slice * count /
max_t(unsigned, cfqg->busy_queues_avg[cfqd->serving_prio],
cfq_group_busy_queues_wl(cfqd->serving_prio, cfqd, cfqg));
gcc is complaining about cfqg->busy_queues_avg[] being indexed by CFQ
prio classes (RT, BE and IDLE) while the array size is only 2.
- At run time, we never access cfqg->busy_queues_avg[IDLE] and return from
function before this code hits.
- To fix warning increase the array size though it will remain unused. This
patch also puts some comments to clarify some of the confusions.
- I have taken Jens's patch and modified it a bit.
- Compile tested with gcc 4.4 and boot tested. I don't have gcc 4.5
running, Andi can you please test it with gcc 4.5 to make sure it
worked.

blkio: Recalculate the throttled bio dispatch time upon throttle limit change
o Currently any cgroup throttle limit changes are processed asynchronousy and
the change does not take affect till a new bio is dispatched from same group.
o It might happen that a user sets a redicuously low limit on throttling.
Say 1 bytes per second on reads. In such cases simple operations like mount
a disk can wait for a very long time.
o Once bio is throttled, there is no easy way to come out of that wait even if
user increases the read limit later.
o This patch fixes it. Now if a user changes the cgroup limits, we recalculate
the bio dispatch time according to new limits.
o Can't take queueu lock under blkcg_lock, hence after the change I wake
up the dispatch thread again which recalculates the time. So there are some
variables being synchronized across two threads without lock and I had to
make use of barriers. Hoping I have used barriers correctly. Any review of
memory barrier code especially will help.

The problem here is that we don't have bdi->dev information available when
thread does some IO. Hence when dev_name() tries to access bdi->dev, it
crashes.
This problem does not happen if kernel threads are in root group as root
group is statically allocated at device initialization time and we don't
hit this piece of code.
Fix it by delaying the filling of major and minor number information of
device in blk_group. Initially a blk_group is created with 0 as device
information and this information is filled later once some more IO comes
in from same group.

cfq: improve fsync performance for small files
Fsync performance for small files achieved by cfq on high-end disks is
lower than what deadline can achieve, due to idling introduced between
the sync write happening in process context and the journal commit.
Moreover, when competing with a sequential reader, a process writing
small files and fsync-ing them is starved.
This patch fixes the two problems by:
- marking journal commits as WRITE_SYNC, so that they get the REQ_NOIDLE
flag set,
- force all queues that have REQ_NOIDLE requests to be put in the noidle
tree.
Having the queue associated to the fsync-ing process and the one associated
to journal commits in the noidle tree allows:
- switching between them without idling,
- fairness vs. competing idling queues, since they will be serviced only
after the noidle tree expires its slice.

cfq-iosched: Do group share accounting in IOPS when slice_idle=0
o Implement another CFQ mode where we charge group in terms of number
of requests dispatched instead of measuring the time. Measuring in terms
of time is not possible when we are driving deeper queue depths and there
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.

This allows to more easily trace the type of I/O from the filesystem
down to the block driver. There were two flags in the bio that were
missing in the requests: BIO_RW_UNPLUG and BIO_RW_AHEAD. Also I've
renamed two request flags that had a superflous RW in them.

cfq: Don't allow queue merges for queues that have no process references
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
system ran the program for over an hour without issues.
This addresses the following bugzilla:

cfq-iosched: compact io_context radix_tree
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.
(bit 0 -- dead mark, bits 1..30 -- index: ida produce id in range 0..2^31-1)

cfq-iosched: remove dead_key from cfq_io_context
Remove ->dead_key field from cfq_io_context to shrink its size to 128 bytes.
(64 bytes for 32-bit hosts)
Use lower bit in ->key as dead-mark, instead of moving key to separate field.
After this for dead cfq_io_context we got cic->key != cfqd automatically.
Thus, io_context's last-hit cache should work without changing.
Now to check ->key for non-dead state compare it with cfqd,
instead of checking ->key for non-null value as it was before.
Plus remove obsolete race protection in cfq_cic_lookup.
This race gone after v2.6.24-1728-g4ac845a

blk-cgroup: Fix RCU correctness warning in cfq_init_queue()
It is necessary to be in an RCU read-side critical section when invoking
css_id(), so this patch adds one to blkiocg_add_blkio_group(). This is
actually a false positive, because this is called at initialization time
and hence always refers to the root cgroup, which cannot go away.

blk-cgroup: config options re-arrangement
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.

blkio: Fix another BUG_ON() crash due to cfqq movement across groups
o Once in a while, I was hitting a BUG_ON() in blkio code. empty_time was
assuming that upon slice expiry, group can't be marked empty already (except
forced dispatch).
But this assumption is broken if cfqq can move (group_isolation=0) across
groups after receiving a request.
I think most likely in this case we got a request in a cfqq and accounted
the rq in one group, later while adding the cfqq to tree, we moved the queue
to a different group which was already marked empty and after dispatch from
slice we found group already marked empty and raised alarm.
This patch does not error out if group is already marked empty. This can
introduce some empty_time stat error only in case of group_isolation=0. This
is better than crashing. In case of group_isolation=1 we should still get
same stats as before this patch.

blkio: Fix blkio crash during rq stat update
blkio + cfq was crashing even when two sequential readers were put in two
separate cgroups (group_isolation=0).
The reason being that cfqq can migrate across groups based on its being
sync-noidle or not, it can happen that at request insertion time, cfqq
belonged to one cfqg and at request dispatch time, it belonged to root
group. In this case request stats per cgroup can go wrong and it also runs
into BUG_ON().
This patch implements rq stashing away a cfq group pointer and not relying
on cfqq->cfqg pointer alone for rq stat accounting.

io-controller: Add a new interface "weight_device" for IO-Controller
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
V1->V2 changes:
- use user interface "weight_device" instead of "policy" suggested by Vivek
- rename some struct suggested by Vivek
- rebase to 2.6-block "for-linus" branch
- remove an useless list_empty check pointed out by Li Zefan
- some trivial typo fix
V2->V3 changes:
- Move policy_*_node() functions up to get rid of forward declarations
- rename related functions by adding prefix "blkio_"

cfq-iosched: Fix the incorrect timeslice accounting with forced_dispatch
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.

blkio: Add more debug-only per-cgroup stats
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.

blkio: Add io_queued and avg_queue_size stats
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
performance).

blkio: Add io_merged stat
This includes both the number of bios merged into requests belonging to this
cgroup as well as the number of requests merged together.
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
version.
This needed adding an extra elevator function to capture bios being merged as I
did not want to pollute elevator code with blkiocg knowledge and hence needed
the accounting invocation to come from CFQ.

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.

cfq-iosched: Do not merge queues of BE and IDLE classes
Even if they are found to be co-operating.
The prio_trees do not have any IDLE cfqqs on them. cfq_close_cooperator()
is called from cfq_select_queue() and cfq_completed_request(). The latter
ensures that the close cooperator code does not get invoked if the current
cfqq is of class IDLE but the former doesn't seem to have any such checks.
So an IDLE cfqq may get merged with a BE cfqq from the same group which
should be avoided.

cfq-iosched: fix a kbuild regression
Alex Shi reported a kbuild regression which is about 10% performance lost.
He bisected to this commit: 3dde36ddea3e07dd025c4c1ba47edec91606fec0.
The reason is cfqq_close() can't find close cooperator. Restoring
cfq_rq_close()'s threshold to original value makes the regression go away.
Since for_preempt parameter isn't used anymore, this patch deletes it.

cfq-iosched: quantum check tweak
Currently a queue can only dispatch up to 4 requests if there are other queues.
This isn't optimal, device can handle more requests, for example, AHCI can
handle 31 requests. I can understand the limit is for fairness, but we could
do a tweak: if the queue still has a lot of slice left, sounds we could
ignore the limit. Test shows this boost my workload (two thread randread of

and async requests, in order to use this one, which is more accurate in
some corner cases.
The rq_in_driver counter is coalesced, since individual sync/async counts
are not used any more.

cfq-iosched: rethink seeky detection for SSDs
CFQ currently applies the same logic of detecting seeky queues and
grouping them together for rotational disks as well as SSDs.
For SSDs, the time to complete a request doesn't depend on the
request location, but only on the size.
This patch therefore changes the criterion to group queues by
request size in case of SSDs, in order to achieve better fairness.

cfq-iosched: rework seeky detection
Current seeky detection is based on average seek lenght.
This is suboptimal, since the average will not distinguish between:
* a process doing medium sized seeks
* a process doing some sequential requests interleaved with larger seeks
and even a medium seek can take lot of time, if the requested sector
happens to be behind the disk head in the rotation (50% probability).
Therefore, we change the seeky queue detection to work as follows:
* each request can be classified as sequential if it is very close to
the current head position, i.e. it is likely in the disk cache (disks
usually read more data than requested, and put it in cache for
subsequent reads). Otherwise, the request is classified as seeky.
* an history window of the last 32 requests is kept, storing the
classification result.
* A queue is marked as seeky if more than 1/8 of the last 32 requests
were seeky.
This patch fixes a regression reported by Yanmin, on mmap 64k random
reads.

cfq-iosched: Do not idle on async queues
Few weeks back, Shaohua Li had posted similar patch. I am reposting it
with more test results.
This patch does two things.
- Do not idle on async queues.
- It also changes the write queue depth CFQ drives (cfq_may_dispatch()).
Currently, we seem to driving queue depth of 1 always for WRITES. This is
true even if there is only one write queue in the system and all the logic
of infinite queue depth in case of single busy queue as well as slowly
increasing queue depth based on last delayed sync request does not seem to
be kicking in at all.
This patch will allow deeper WRITE queue depths (subjected to the other
WRITE queue depth contstraints like cfq_quantum and last delayed sync
request).
Shaohua Li had reported getting more out of his SSD. For me, I have got
one Lun exported from an HP EVA and when pure buffered writes are on, I
can get more out of the system. Following are test results of pure
buffered writes (with end_fsync=1) with vanilla and patched kernel. These
results are average of 3 sets of run with increasing number of threads.

bufwfs 3 16 0 0 299260 1.70731e+06
I also ran buffered writes along with some sequential reads and some
buffered reads going on in the system on a SATA disk because the potential
risk could be that we should not be driving queue depth higher in presence
of sync IO going to keep the max clat low.
With some random and sequential reads going on in the system on one SATA
disk I did not see any significant increase in max clat. So it looks like
other WRITE queue depth control logic is doing its job. Here are the
results.

In cfq_should_preempt(), we currently allow some cases where a non-RT request
can preempt an ongoing RT cfqq timeslice. This should not happen.
Examples include:
o A sync_noidle wl type non-RT request pre-empting a sync_noidle wl type cfqq
on which we are idling.
o Once we have per-cgroup async queues, a non-RT sync request pre-empting a RT
async cfqq.

cfq-iosched: Remove prio_change logic for workload selection
o CFQ now internally divides cfq queues in therr workload categories. sync-idle,
sync-noidle and async. Which workload to run depends primarily on rb_key
offset across three service trees. Which is a combination of mulitiple things
including what time queue got queued on the service tree.
There is one exception though. That is if we switched the prio class, say
we served some RT tasks and again started serving BE class, then with-in
BE class we always started with sync-noidle workload irrespective of rb_key
offset in service trees.
This can provide better latencies for sync-noidle workload in the presence
of RT tasks.
o This patch gets rid of that exception and which workload to run with-in
class always depends on lowest rb_key across service trees. The reason
being that now we have multiple BE class groups and if we always switch
to sync-noidle workload with-in group, we can potentially starve a sync-idle
workload with-in group. Same is true for async workload which will be in
root group. Also the workload-switching with-in group will become very
unpredictable as it now depends whether some RT workload was running in
the system or not.

cfq-iosched: Remove the check for same cfq group from allow_merge
o allow_merge() already checks if submitting task is pointing to same cfqq
as rq has been queued in. If everything is fine, we should not be having
a task in one cgroup and having a pointer to cfqq in other cgroup.
Well I guess in some situations it can happen and that is, when a random
IO queue has been moved into root cgroup for group_isolation=0. In
this case, tasks's cgroup/group is different from where actually cfqq is,
but this is intentional and in this case merging should be allowed.
The second situation is where due to close cooperator patches, multiple
processes can be sharing a cfqq. If everything implemented right, we should
not end up in a situation where tasks from different processes in different
groups are sharing the same cfqq as we allow merging of cooperating queues
only if they are in same group.

cfq-iosched: Take care of corner cases of group losing share due to deletion
If there is a sequential reader running in a group, we wait for next request
to come in that group after slice expiry and once new request is in, we expire
the queue. Otherwise we delete the group from service tree and group looses
its fair share.
So far I was marking a queue as wait_busy if it had consumed its slice and
it was last queue in the group. But this condition did not cover following
two cases.
1.If a request completed and slice has not expired yet. Next request comes
in and is dispatched to disk. Now select_queue() hits and slice has expired.
This group will be deleted. Because request is still in the disk, this queue
will never get a chance to wait_busy.
2.If request completed and slice has not expired yet. Before next request
comes in (delay due to think time), select_queue() hits and expires the
queue hence group. This queue never got a chance to wait busy.
Gui was hitting the boundary condition 1 and not getting fairness numbers
proportional to weight.
This patch puts the checks for above two conditions and improves the fairness
numbers for sequential workload on rotational media. Check in select_queue()
takes care of case 1 and additional check in should_wait_busy() takes care
of case 2.

cfq-iosched: use call_rcu() instead of doing grace period stall on queue exit
After the merge of the IO controller patches, booting on my megaraid
box ran much slower. Vivek Goyal traced it down to megaraid discovery
creating tons of devices, each suffering a grace period when they later
kill that queue (if no device is found).
So lets use call_rcu() to batch these deferred frees, instead of taking
the grace period hit for each one.

blkio: Implement dynamic io controlling policy registration
o One of the goals of block IO controller is that it should be able to
support mulitple io control policies, some of which be operational at
higher level in storage hierarchy.
o To begin with, we had one io controlling policy implemented by CFQ, and
I hard coded the CFQ functions called by blkio. This created issues when
CFQ is compiled as module.
o This patch implements a basic dynamic io controlling policy registration
functionality in blkio. This is similar to elevator functionality where
ioschedulers register the functions dynamically.
o Now in future, when more IO controlling policies are implemented, these
can dynakically register with block IO controller.

blkio: Wait on sync-noidle queue even if rq_noidle = 1
o rq_noidle() is supposed to tell cfq that do not expect a request after this
one, hence don't idle. But this does not seem to work very well. For example
for direct random readers, rq_noidle = 1 but there is next request coming
after this. Not idling, leads to a group not getting its share even if
group_isolation=1.
o The right solution for this issue is to scan the higher layers and set
right flag (WRITE_SYNC or WRITE_ODIRECT). For the time being, this single
line fix helps. This should not have any significant impact when we are
not using cgroups. I will later figure out IO paths in higher layer and
fix it.

blkio: Implement group_isolation tunable
o If a group is running only a random reader, then it will not have enough
traffic to keep disk busy and we will reduce overall throughput. This
should result in better latencies for random reader though. If we don't
idle on random reader service tree, then this random reader will experience
large latencies if there are other groups present in system with sequential
readers running in these.
o One solution suggested by corrado is that by default keep the random readers
or sync-noidle workload in root group so that during one dispatch round
we idle only once on sync-noidle tree. This means that all the sync-idle
workload queues will be in their respective group and we will see service
differentiation in those but not on sync-noidle workload.
o Provide a tunable group_isolation. If set, this will make sure that even
sync-noidle queues go in their respective group and we wait on these. This
provides stronger isolation between groups but at the expense of throughput
if group does not have enough traffic to keep the disk busy.
o By default group_isolation = 0

cfq-iosched: no dispatch limit for single queue
Since commit 2f5cb7381b737e24c8046fd4aeab571fb71315f5, each queue can send
up to 4 * 4 requests if only one queue exists. I wonder why we have such limit.
Device supports tag can send more requests. For example, AHCI can send 31
requests. Test (direct aio randread) shows the limits reduce about 4% disk
thoughput.
On the other hand, since we send one request one time, if other queue
pop when current is sending more than cfq_quantum requests, current queue will
stop send requests soon after one request, so sounds there is no big latency.

cfq-iosched: idling on deep seeky sync queues
Seeky sync queues with large depth can gain unfairly big share of disk
time, at the expense of other seeky queues. This patch ensures that
idling will be enabled for queues with I/O depth at least 4, and small
think time. The decision to enable idling is sticky, until an idle
window times out without seeing a new request.
The reasoning behind the decision is that, if an application is using
large I/O depth, it is already optimized to make full utilization of
the hardware, and therefore we reserve a slice of exclusive use for it.

Previous code was buggy in two ways:
* it relied on service_tree field to be set on the active queue, while
it is not set when the code is idling for a new request
* it didn't check for the service tree empty condition, so could lead to
LIFO behaviour if multiple queues with depth > 1 were preempting each
other on an non-NCQ device.

cfq-iosched: fix ncq detection code
CFQ's detection of queueing devices initially assumes a queuing device
and detects if the queue depth reaches a certain threshold.
However, it will reconsider this choice periodically.
Unfortunately, if device is considered not queuing, CFQ will force a
unit queue depth for some workloads, thus defeating the detection logic.
This leads to poor performance on queuing hardware,
since the idle window remains enabled.
Given this premise, switching to hw_tag = 0 after we have proved at
least once that the device is NCQ capable is not a good choice.
The new detection code starts in an indeterminate state, in which CFQ behaves
as if hw_tag = 1, and then, if for a long observation period we never saw
large depth, we switch to hw_tag = 0, otherwise we stick to hw_tag = 1,
without reconsidering it again.

cfq-iosched: cleanup unreachable code
cfq_should_idle returns false for no-idle queues that are not the last,

The unreachable code was added to emulate previous cfq behaviour for

performances and fairness are comparable with previous cfq, thanks to
the fact that all seeky queues are grouped together, and that we idle at
the end of the tree.

cfq-iosched: limit coop preemption
CFQ has an optimization for cooperated applications. if several
io-context have close requests, they will get boost. But the
optimization get abused. Considering thread a, b, which work on one
file. a reads sectors s, s+2, s+4, ...; b reads sectors s+1, s+3, s
+5, ... Both a and b are sequential read, so they can open idle window.
a reads a sector s and goes to idle window and wakeup b. b reads sector
s+1, since in current implementation, cfq_should_preempt() thinks a and
b are cooperators, b will preempt a. b then reads sector s+1 and goes to
idle window and wakeup a. for the same reason, a will preempt b and
reads s+2. a and b will continue the circle. The circle will be very
long, and a and b will occupy whole disk queue. Other applications will
nearly have no chance to run.
Fix this limiting coop preempt until a queue is scheduled normally
again.

cfq-iosched: fairness for sync no-idle queues
Currently no-idle queues in cfq are not serviced fairly:
even if they can only dispatch a small number of requests at a time,
they have to compete with idling queues to be serviced, experiencing
large latencies.
We should notice, instead, that no-idle queues are the ones that would
benefit most from having low latency, in fact they are any of:
* processes with large think times (e.g. interactive ones like file
managers)
* seeky (e.g. programs faulting in their code at startup)
* or marked as no-idle from upper levels, to improve latencies of those
requests.
This patch improves the fairness and latency for those queues, by:
* separating sync idle, sync no-idle and async queues in separate
service_trees, for each priority
* service all no-idle queues together
* and idling when the last no-idle queue has been serviced, to
anticipate for more no-idle work
* the timeslices allotted for idle and no-idle service_trees are
computed proportionally to the number of processes in each set.
Servicing all no-idle queues together should have a performance boost
for NCQ-capable drives, without compromising fairness.

cfq-iosched: enable idling for last queue on priority class
cfq can disable idling for queues in various circumstances.
When workloads of different priorities are competing, if the higher
priority queue has idling disabled, lower priority queues may steal
its disk share. For example, in a scenario with an RT process
performing seeky reads vs a BE process performing sequential reads,
on an NCQ enabled hardware, with low_latency unset,
the RT process will dispatch only the few pending requests every full
slice of service for the BE process.
The patch solves this issue by always performing idle on the last
queue at a given priority class > idle. If the same process, or one
that can pre-empt it (so at the same priority or higher), submits a
new request within the idle window, the lower priority queue won't
dispatch, saving the disk bandwidth for higher priority ones.
Note: this doesn't touch the non_rotational + NCQ case (no hardware
to test if this is a benefit in that case).

cfq-iosched: adapt slice to number of processes doing I/O
When the number of processes performing I/O concurrently increases,
a fixed time slice per process will cause large latencies.
This patch, if low_latency mode is enabled, will scale the time slice
assigned to each process according to a 300ms target latency.
In order to keep fairness among processes:
* The number of active processes is computed using a special form of
running average, that quickly follows sudden increases (to keep latency low),
and decrease slowly (to have fairness in spite of rapid decreases of this
value).
To safeguard sequential bandwidth, we impose a minimum time slice
(computed using 2*cfq_slice_idle as base, adjusted according to priority
and async-ness).

cfq-iosched: get rid of the need for __GFP_NOFAIL in cfq_find_alloc_queue()
Setup an emergency fallback cfqq that we allocate at IO scheduler init
time. If the slab allocation fails in cfq_find_alloc_queue(), we'll just
punt IO to that cfqq instead. This ensures that cfq_find_alloc_queue()
never fails without having to ensure free memory.
On cfqq lookup, always try to allocate a new cfqq if the given cfq io
context has the oom_cfqq assigned. This ensures that we only temporarily
punt to this shared queue.

block: prevent possible io_context->refcount overflow
Currently io_context has an atomic_t(32-bit) as refcount. In the case of
cfq, for each device against whcih a task does I/O, a reference to the
io_context would be taken. And when there are multiple process sharing
io_contexts(CLONE_IO) would also have a reference to the same io_context.
Theoretically the possible maximum number of processes sharing the same
io_context + the number of disks/cfq_data referring to the same io_context
can overflow the 32-bit counter on a very high-end machine.
Even though it is an improbable case, let us make it atomic_long_t.

block: drop request->hard_* and *nr_sectors
struct request has had a few different ways to represent some
properties of a request. ->hard_* represent block layer's view of the
request progress (completion cursor) and the ones without the prefix
are supposed to represent the issue cursor and allowed to be updated
as necessary by the low level drivers. The thing is that as block
layer supports partial completion, the two cursors really aren't
necessary and only cause confusion. In addition, manual management of
request detail from low level drivers is cumbersome and error-prone at
the very least.
Another interesting duplicate fields are rq->[hard_]nr_sectors and
rq->{hard_cur|current}_nr_sectors against rq->data_len and
rq->bio->bi_size. This is more convoluted than the hard_ case.
rq->[hard_]nr_sectors are initialized for requests with bio but
blk_rq_bytes() uses it only for !pc requests. rq->data_len is
initialized for all request but blk_rq_bytes() uses it only for pc
requests. This causes good amount of confusion throughout block layer
and its drivers and determining the request length has been a bit of
black magic which may or may not work depending on circumstances and
what the specific LLD is actually doing.
rq->{hard_cur|current}_nr_sectors represent the number of sectors in
the contiguous data area at the front. This is mainly used by drivers
which transfers data by walking request segment-by-segment. This
value always equals rq->bio->bi_size >> 9. However, data length for
pc requests may not be multiple of 512 bytes and using this field
becomes a bit confusing.
In general, having multiple fields to represent the same property
leads only to confusion and subtle bugs. With recent block low level
driver cleanups, no driver is accessing or manipulating these
duplicate fields directly. Drop all the duplicates. Now rq->sector
means the current sector, rq->data_len the current total length and
rq->bio->bi_size the current segment length. Everything else is
defined in terms of these three and available only through accessors.
* blk_recalc_rq_sectors() is collapsed into blk_update_request() and
now handles pc and fs requests equally other than rq->sector update.
This means that now pc requests can use partial completion too (no
in-kernel user yet tho).
* bio_cur_sectors() is replaced with bio_cur_bytes() as block layer
now uses byte count as the primary data length.
* blk_rq_pos() is now guranteed to be always correct. In-block users
converted.
* blk_rq_bytes() is now guaranteed to be always valid as is
blk_rq_sectors(). In-block users converted.
* blk_rq_sectors() is now guaranteed to equal blk_rq_bytes() >> 9.
More convenient one is used.
* blk_rq_bytes() and blk_rq_cur_bytes() are now inlined and take const
pointer to request.

cfq-iosched: cache prio_tree root in cfqq->p_root
Currently we look it up from ->ioprio, but ->ioprio can change if
either the process gets its IO priority changed explicitly, or if
cfq decides to temporarily boost it. So if we are unlucky, we can
end up attempting to remove a node from a different rbtree root than
where it was added.
Fix this by using ->org_ioprio as the prio_tree index, since that
will only change for explicit IO priority settings (not for a boost).
Additionally cache the rbtree root inside the cfqq, then we don't have
to add code to reinsert the cfqq in the prio_tree if IO priority changes.

cfq-iosched: add close cooperator code
If we have processes that are working in close proximity to each
other on disk, we don't want to idle wait. Instead allow the close
process to issue a request, getting better aggregate bandwidth.
The anticipatory scheduler has similar checks, noop and deadline do
not need it since they don't care about process <-> io mappings.
The code for CFQ is a little more involved though, since we split
request queues into per-process contexts.
This fixes a performance problem with eg dump(8), since it uses
several processes in some silly attempt to speed IO up. Even if
dump(8) isn't really a valid case (it should be fixed by using
CLONE_IO), there are other cases where we see close processes
and where idling ends up hurting performance.
Credit goes to Jeff Moyer <jmoyer@redhat.com> for writing the
initial implementation.

cfq-iosched: don't delay queue kick for a merged request
"Zhang, Yanmin" <yanmin_zhang@linux.intel.com> reports that commit
b029195dda0129b427c6e579a3bb3ae752da3a93 introduced a regression
of about 50% with sequential threaded read workloads. The test
case is:
tiotest -k0 -k1 -k3 -f 80 -t 32
which starts 32 threads each reading a 80MB file. Twiddle the kick
queue logic so that we do start IO immediately, if it appears to be
a fully merged request. We can't really detect that, so just check
if the request is bigger than a page or not. The assumption is that
since single bio issues will first queue a single request with just
one page attached and then later do merges on that, if we already
have more than a page worth of data in the request, then the request
is most likely good to go.
Verified that this doesn't cause a regression with the test case that
commit b029195dda0129b427c6e579a3bb3ae752da3a93 was fixing. It does not,
we still see maximum sized requests for the queue-then-merge cases.

cfq-iosched: don't let idling interfere with plugging
When CFQ is waiting for a new request from a process, currently it'll
immediately restart queuing when it sees such a request. This doesn't
work very well with streamed IO, since we then end up splitting IO
that would otherwise have been merged nicely. For a simple dd test,
this causes 10x as many requests to be issued as we should have.
Normally this goes unnoticed due to the low overhead of requests
at the device side, but some hardware is very sensitive to request
sizes and there it can cause big slow downs.

cfq-iosched: change dispatch logic to deal with single requests at the time
The IO scheduler core calls into the IO scheduler dispatch_request hook
to move requests from the IO scheduler and into the driver dispatch
list. It only does so when the dispatch list is empty. CFQ moves several
requests to the dispatch list, which can cause higher latencies if we
suddenly have to switch to some important sync IO. Change the logic to
move one request at the time instead.
This should almost be functionally equivalent to what we did before,
except that we now honor 'quantum' as the maximum queue depth at the
device side from any single cfqq. If there's just a single active
cfqq, we allow up to 4 times the normal quantum.

block: Add flag for telling the IO schedulers NOT to anticipate more IO

previously completed IO was sync. This used to be fine, since the only
sync IO was reads and O_DIRECT writes. But with more "normal" sync writes
being used now, we don't want to anticipate for those.
Add a bio/request flag that informs the IO scheduler that this is a sync
request that we should not idle for. Introduce WRITE_ODIRECT specifically
for O_DIRECT writes, and make sure that the other sync writes set this
flag.

cfq-iosched: fix race between exiting queue and exiting task
Original patch from Nikanth Karthikesan <knikanth@suse.de>
When a queue exits the queue lock is taken and cfq_exit_queue() would free all
the cic's associated with the queue.
But when a task exits, cfq_exit_io_context() gets cic one by one and then
locks the associated queue to call __cfq_exit_single_io_context. It looks like
between getting a cic from the ioc and locking the queue, the queue might have
exited on another cpu.
Fix this by rechecking the cfq_io_context queue key inside the queue lock
again, and not calling into __cfq_exit_single_io_context() if somebody
beat us to it.

place, there's really no need for this extra heuristic. Additionally,
it ends up hurting performance in some cases.

After many improvements on kblockd_flush_work, it is now identical to

The only difference is that cancel_work_sync is a GPL symbol,

cfq-iosched: fix queue depth detection
CFQ's detection of queueing devices assumes a non-queuing device and detects
if the queue depth reaches a certain threshold. Under some workloads (e.g.
synchronous reads), CFQ effectively forces a unit queue depth, thus defeating
the detection logic. This leads to poor performance on queuing hardware,
since the idle window remains enabled.
This patch inverts the sense of the logic: assume a queuing-capable device,
and detect if the depth does not exceed the threshold.

cfq-iosched: do not leak ioc_data across iosched switches
When switching scheduler from cfq, cfq_exit_queue() does not clear
ioc->ioc_data, leaving a dangling pointer that can deceive the following
lookups when the iosched is switched back to cfq. The pattern that can
trigger that is the following:
- elevator switch from cfq to something else;
- module unloading, with elv_unregister() that calls cfq_free_io_context()
on ioc freeing the cic (via the .trim op);
- module gets reloaded and the elevator switches back to cfq;
- reallocation of a cic at the same address as before (with a valid key).
To fix it just assign NULL to ioc_data in __cfq_exit_single_io_context(),
that is called from the regular exit path and from the elevator switching
code. The only path that frees a cic and is not covered is the error handling
one, but cic's freed in this way are never cached in ioc_data.

cfq-iosched: relax IOPRIO_CLASS_IDLE restrictions
Currently you must be root to set idle io prio class on a process. This
is due to the fact that the idle class is implemented as a true idle
class, meaning that it will not make progress if someone else is
requesting disk access. Unfortunately this means that it opens DOS
opportunities by locking down file system resources, hence it is root
only at the moment.
This patch relaxes the idle class a little, by removing the truly idle
part (which entals a grace period with associated timer). The
modifications make the idle class as close to zero impact as can be done
while still guarenteeing progress. This means we can relax the root only
criteria as well.

block: cfq: make the io contect sharing lockless
The io context sharing introduced a per-ioc spinlock, that would protect
the cfq io context lookup. That is a regression from the original, since
we never needed any locking there because the ioc/cic were process private.
The cic lookup is changed from an rbtree construct to a radix tree, which
we can then use RCU to make the reader side lockless. That is the performance
critical path, modifying the radix tree is only done on process creation
(when that process first does IO, actually) and on process exit (if that
process has done IO).
As it so happens, radix trees are also much faster for this type of
lookup where the key is a pointer. It's a very sparse tree.

cfq-iosched: get rid of cfqq hash
cfq hash is no more necessary. We always can get cfqq from io context.
cfq_get_io_context_noalloc() function is introduced, because we don't
want to allocate cic on merging and checking may_queue. In order to
identify sync queue we've used hash key = CFQ_KEY_ASYNC. Since hash is
eliminated we need to use other criterion: sync flag for queue is added.
In all places where we dig in rb_tree we're in current context, so no
additional locking is required.
Advantages of this patch: no additional memory for hash, no seeking in
hash, code is cleaner. But it is necessary now to seek cic in per-ioc
rbtree, but it is faster:
- most processes work only with few devices
- most systems have only few block devices
- it is a rb-tree

cfq-iosched: sort RT queues into the rbtree
Currently CFQ does a linked insert into the current list for RT
queues. We can just factor the class into the rb insertion,
and then we don't have to treat RT queues in a special way. It's
faster, too.

[PATCH] cfq-iosched: speed up rbtree handling
For cases where the rbtree is mainly used for sorting and min retrieval,
a nice speedup of the rbtree code is to maintain a cache of the leftmost
node in the tree.
Also spotted in the CFS CPU scheduler code.
Improved by Alan D. Brunelle <Alan.Brunelle@hp.com> by updating the
leftmost hint in cfq_rb_first() if it isn't set, instead of only
updating it on insert.

cfq-iosched: rework the whole round-robin list concept
Drawing on some inspiration from the CFS CPU scheduler design, overhaul
the pending cfq_queue concept list management. Currently CFQ uses a
doubly linked list per priority level for sorting and service uses.
Kill those lists and maintain an rbtree of cfq_queue's, sorted by when
to service them.
This unfortunately means that the ionice levels aren't as strong
anymore, will work on improving those later. We only scale the slice
time now, not the number of times we service. This means that latency
is better (for all priority levels), but that the distinction between
the highest and lower levels aren't as big.
The diffstat speaks for itself.

cfq-iosched: development update
- Implement logic for detecting cooperating processes, so we
choose the best available queue whenever possible.
- Improve residual slice time accounting.
- Remove dead code: we no longer see async requests coming in on
sync queues. That part was removed a long time ago. That means
that we can also remove the difference between cfq_cfqq_sync()
and cfq_cfqq_class_sync(), they are now indentical. And we can
kill the on_dispatch array, just make it a counter.
- Allow a process to go into the current list, if it hasn't been
serviced in this scheduler tick yet.
Possible future improvements including caching the cfqq lookup
in cfq_close_cooperator(), so we don't have to look it up twice.
cfq_get_best_queue() should just use that last decision instead
of doing it again.

cfq-iosched: improve preemption for cooperating tasks
When testing the syslet async io approach, I discovered that CFQ
sometimes didn't perform as well as expected. cfq_should_preempt()
needs to better check for cooperating tasks, so fix that by allowing
preemption of an equal priority queue if the recently queued request
is as good a candidate for IO as the one we are currently waiting for.

cfq-iosched: fix alias + front merge bug
There's a really rare and obscure bug in CFQ, that causes a crash in
cfq_dispatch_insert() due to rq == NULL. One example of the resulting
oops is seen here:
http://lkml.org/lkml/2007/4/15/41
Neil correctly diagnosed the situation for how this can happen: if two
concurrent requests with the exact same sector number (due to direct IO
or aliasing between MD and the raw device access), the alias handling
will add the request to the sortlist, but next_rq remains NULL.
Read the more complete analysis at:
http://lkml.org/lkml/2007/4/25/57
This looks like it requires md to trigger, even though it should
potentially be possible to due with O_DIRECT (at least if you edit the
kernel and doctor some of the unplug calls).
The fix is to move the ->next_rq update to when we add a request to the
rbtree. Then we remove the possibility for a request to exist in the
rbtree code, but not have ->next_rq correctly updated.

cfq-iosched: fix sequential write regression
We have a 10-15% performance regression for sequential writes on TCQ/NCQ
enabled drives in 2.6.21-rcX after the CFQ update went in. It has been
reported by Valerie Clement <valerie.clement@bull.net> and the Intel
testing folks. The regression is because of CFQ's now more aggressive
queue control, limiting the depth available to the device.
This patches fixes that regression by allowing a greater depth when only
one queue is busy. It has been tested to not impact sync-vs-async
workloads too much - we still do a lot better than 2.6.20.

[PATCH] cfq-iosched: merging problem
Two issues:
- The final return 1 should be a return 0, otherwise comparing cfqq is
a noop.
- bio_sync() only checks the sync flag, while rq_is_sync() checks both
for READ and sync. The latter is what we want. Expand the bio check
to include reads, and relax the restriction to allow merging of async
io into sync requests.
In the future we want to clean up the SYNC logic, right now it means
both sync request (such as READ and O_DIRECT WRITE) and unplug-on-issue.
Leave that for later.

Currently we allow any merge, even if the io originates from different

WorkStruct: Pass the work_struct pointer instead of context data
Pass the work_struct pointer to the work function rather than context data.
The work function can use container_of() to work out the data.
For the cases where the container of the work_struct may go away the moment the
pending bit is cleared, it is made possible to defer the release of the
structure by deferring the clearing of the pending bit.
To make this work, an extra flag is introduced into the management side of the
work_struct. This governs auto-release of the structure upon execution.
Ordinarily, the work queue executor would release the work_struct for further
scheduling or deallocation by clearing the pending bit prior to jumping to the
work function. This means that, unless the driver makes some guarantee itself
that the work_struct won't go away, the work function may not access anything
else in the work_struct or its container lest they be deallocated.. This is a
problem if the auxiliary data is taken away (as done by the last patch).
However, if the pending bit is *not* cleared before jumping to the work
function, then the work function *may* access the work_struct and its container
with no problems. But then the work function must itself release the
work_struct by calling work_release().
In most cases, automatic release is fine, so this is the default. Special
initiators exist for the non-auto-release case (ending in _NAR).

- The per-cfqd linked list of cfq_io_contexts
The per-cfqd linked list can be protected by the queue lock, as it is (by
definition) per cfqd as the queue lock is.
The per-ioc rbtree is mainly used and updated by the process itself only.
The only outside use is the io priority changing. If we move the
priority changing to not browsing the rbtree, we can remove any locking
from the rbtree updates and lookup completely. Let the sys_ioprio syscall
just mark processes as having the iopriority changed and lazily update
the private cfq io contexts the next time io is queued, and we can
remove this locking as well.

[PATCH] cfq-iosched: cleanups, fixes, dead code removal
A collection of little fixes and cleanups:
- We don't use the 'queued' sysfs exported attribute, since the
may_queue() logic was rewritten. So kill it.
- Remove dead defines.
- cfq_set_active_queue() can be rewritten cleaner with else if conditions.
- Several places had cfq_exit_cfqq() like logic, abstract that out and
use that.
- Annotate the cfqq kmem_cache_alloc() so the allocator knows that this
is a repeat allocation if it fails with __GFP_WAIT set. Allows the
allocator to start freeing some memory, if needed. CFQ already loops for
this condition, so might as well pass the hint down.
- Remove cfqd->rq_starved logic. It's not needed anymore after we dropped
the crq allocation in cfq_set_request().
- Remove uneeded parameter passing.

[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!

[PATCH] cfq-iosched: many performance fixes
This is a collection of patches that greatly improve CFQ performance
in some circumstances.
- Change the idling logic to only kick in after a request is done and we
are deciding what to do. Before the idling included the request service
time, so it was hard to adjust. Now it's true think/idle time.
- Take advantage of TCQ/NCQ/queueing for seeky sync workloads, but keep
it in control for sync and sequential (or close to) workloads.
- Expire queues immediately and move on to other busy queues, if we are
not going to idle after the current one finishes.
- Don't rearm idle timer if there are no busy queues. Just leave the
system idle.

[PATCH] cfq-iosched: correctly set ioprio on both targets
Patch originally from Vasily Tarasov <vtaras@sw.ru>
If you set io-priority of process 1 using sys_ioprio_set system call by
another process 2 (like ionice do), then cfq_init_prio_data() function
sets priority of process 2 (current) on queue of process 1 and clears
the flag, that designates change of ioprio. So the process 1 will work
like with priority of process 2.
I propose not to call cfq_init_prio_data() on io-priority change, but
only mark queue as queue with changed prority. Every time when new
request comes cfq-scheduler checks for this flag and atomaticaly changes
priority of queue to new value.

[PATCH] Kill PF_SYNCWRITE flag
A process flag to indicate whether we are doing sync io is incredibly
ugly. It also causes performance problems when one does a lot of async
io and then proceeds to sync it. Part of the io will go out as async,
and the other part as sync. This causes a disconnect between the
previously submitted io and the synced io. For io schedulers such as CFQ,
this will cause us lost merges and suboptimal behaviour in scheduling.
Remove PF_SYNCWRITE completely from the fsync/msync paths, and let
the O_DIRECT path just directly indicate that the writes are sync
by using WRITE_SYNC instead.

[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.

So, in theory, it may really re-read *after* cfq_exit_queue() seted NULL.
To avoid race, we copy it to stack, then use it. With this change, I

Detect whether a given process is seeky and if so disable (mostly) the

to allow that process to submit a new request. That is needed to maintain
fairness across priority groups.
In some cases, we could setup several async queues. This is not optimal

good sorting on it. It also impacted sync queues, as async io got too much

[PATCH] fix cfq hash lookups
If somebody does a hash lookup for cfq_queue while ioprio of an async queue
is elevated, they shouldn't end up stuck with lowered ioprio when we go back.
Fix is to use ->org_ioprio{,class} in hash lookups.

[PATCH] cfq-iosched: slice expiry fixups
During testing of SLES10, we encountered a hang in the CFQ io scheduler.
Turns out the deferred slice expiry logic is buggy, so remove that for
now. We could be left with an idle queue that would never wake up. So
kill that logic, always expire immediately. Also fix a potential timer
race condition.
Patch looks bigger than it is, because it moves a function.

[BLOCK] mark some block/ variables cons
the patch below marks various read-only variables in block/* as const,
so that gcc can optimize the use of them; eg gcc will replace the use by
the value directly now and will even remove the memory usage of these.

[BLOCK] new block/ directory comment tidy
Some leftover comments referring to drivers/block that are now block/.
They don't add any information we don't already have, so kill them.

[BLOCK] cfq-iosched: fix slice_left calculation
When cfq slice expires, remainder of slice is calculated and stored in
cfqq->slice_left. Current code calculates the opposite of remainder -
how many jiffies the cfqq has used past slice end. This patch fixes
the bug.

[BLOCK] Move all core block layer code to new block/ directory
drivers/block/ is right now a mix of core and driver parts. Lets move
the core parts to a new top level directory. Al will move the fs/
related block parts to block/ next.
