* blockdev: don't set S_DAX for misaligned partitionsJeff Moyer2015-09-161-0/+7
| | | | | | | | | | | The dax code doesn't currently support misaligned partitions, so disable O_DIRECT via dax until such time as that support materializes.

* dax: fix O_DIRECT I/O to the last block of a blockdevJeff Moyer2015-09-161-1/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | commit bbab37ddc20b (block: Add support for DAX reads/writes to block devices) caused a regression in mkfs.xfs. That utility sets the block size of the device to the logical block size using the BLKBSZSET ioctl, and then issues a single sector read from the last sector of the device. This results in the dax_io code trying to do a page-sized read from 512 bytes from the end of the device. The result is -ERANGE being returned to userspace. The fix is to align the block to the page size before calling get_block. Thanks to willy for simplifying my original patch.

Fix it by disabling interrupts in activate_mm(), similar to powerpc and hexagon. t====================================================== [ INFO: HARDIRQ-safe -> HARDIRQ-unsafe lock order detected ] 3.19.0-08802-g20bc9f1-dirty #323 Not tainted ------------------------------------------------------ init/1 [HC0[0]:SC0[0]:HE0:SE1] is trying to acquire: (mmu_context_lock){+.+...}, at: [<c0009290>] switch_mm+0x22/0xc6 and this task is already holding: (&rq->lock){-.-.-.}, at: [<c01a0756>] __schedule+0x5e/0x648 which would create a new lock dependency: (&rq->lock){-.-.-.} -> (mmu_context_lock){+.+...} but this new dependency connects a HARDIRQ-irq-safe lock: (&rq->lock){-.-.-.} ... which became HARDIRQ-irq-safe at: [<c002b03c>] scheduler_tick+0x28/0x5e [<c0007c6c>] timer_interrupt+0x4e/0x6a [<c0043ac4>] handle_irq_event_percpu+0x54/0x13c [<c004343c>] generic_handle_irq+0x2a/0x36 to a HARDIRQ-irq-unsafe lock: (mmu_context_lock){+.+...} ... which became HARDIRQ-irq-unsafe at: ...

Now, admittedly the "!= 0" doesn't really change the value (0 stays as zero, 1 stays as one), but it's not only redundant, it confuses gcc, and causes gcc to warn about the construct switch (rq_data_dir(req)) { case READ: ... case WRITE: ... that we have in a few drivers. Now, the gcc warning is silly and stupid (it seems to warn not about the switch value having a different type from the case statements, but about _any_ boolean switch value), but in this case the code itself is silly and stupid too, so let's just change it, and get rid of warnings like this: drivers/block/hd.c: In function ‘hd_request’: drivers/block/hd.c:630:11: warning: switch condition has boolean value [-Wswitch-bool] switch (rq_data_dir(req)) { The odd '!= 0' came in when "cmd_flags" got turned into a "u64" in commit 5953316dbf90 ("block: make rq->cmd_flags be 64-bit") and is presumably because the old code (that just did a logical 'and' with 1) would then end up making the type of rq_data_dir() be u64 too. But if we want to retain the old regular integer type, let's just cast the result to 'int' rather than use that rather odd '!= 0'. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

This does that. Chris will run performance numbers, just to verify that this approach is comparable to the alternative (we could just drop and re-take the lock around the blk_finish_plug() rather than these two commits. I'd have preferred waiting for actual performance numbers before picking one approach over the other, but I don't want to release rc1 with the known "sleeping function called from invalid context" issue, so I'll pick this cleanup version for now. But if the numbers show that we really want to plug just at the writeback_sb_inodes() level, and we should just play ugly games with the spinlock, we'll switch to that.

Doing the block layer plug/unplug inside writeback_sb_inodes() is broken, because that function is actually called with a spinlock held: wb->list_lock, as pointed out by Chris Mason. Chris suggested just dropping and re-taking the spinlock around the blk_finish_plug() call (the plgging itself can happen under the spinlock), and that would technically work, but is just disgusting. We do something fairly similar - but not quite as disgusting because we at least have a better reason for it - in writeback_single_inode(), so it's not like the caller can depend on the lock being held over the call, but in this case there just isn't any good reason for that "release and re-take the lock" pattern. [ In general, we should really strive to avoid the "release and retake" pattern for locks, because in the general case it can easily cause subtle bugs when the caller caches any state around the call that might be invalidated by dropping the lock even just temporarily. ] But in this case, the plugging should be easy to just move up to the callers before the spinlock is taken, which should even improve the effectiveness of the plug. So there is really no good reason to play games with locking here. I'll send off a test-patch so that Dave Chinner can verify that that plug movement works. In the meantime this just reverts the problematic commit and adds a comment to the function so that we hopefully don't make this mistake again.

In thermal-core, commit 17e8351a7739 ("thermal: consistently use int for temperatures") converted the thermal layer to use "int" for temperatures. But in parallel, in the thermal-intel branch commit d0a12625d2ff ("thermal: Add Intel PCH thermal driver") added support for the intel PCH thermal sensor using the old interfaces that used "unsigned long" pointers.

It is implemented by calling synchronize_sched(). It can be used to distribute the cost of user-space memory barriers asymmetrically by transforming pairs of memory barriers into pairs consisting of sys_membarrier() and a compiler barrier. For synchronization primitives that distinguish between read-side and write-side (e.g. userspace RCU [1], rwlocks), the read-side can be accelerated significantly by moving the bulk of the memory barrier overhead to the write-side. The existing applications of which I am aware that would be improved by this system call are as follows: * Through Userspace RCU library (http://urcu.so) - DNS server (Knot DNS) https://www.knot-dns.cz/ - Network sniffer (http://netsniff-ng.org/) - Distributed object storage (https://sheepdog.github.io/sheepdog/) - User-space tracing (http://lttng.org) - Network storage system (https://www.gluster.org/) - Virtual routers (https://events.linuxfoundation.org/sites/events/files/slides/DPDK_RCU_0MQ.pdf) - Financial software (https://lkml.org/lkml/2015/3/23/189) Those projects use RCU in userspace to increase read-side speed and scalability compared to locking. Especially in the case of RCU used by libraries, sys_membarrier can speed up the read-side by moving the bulk of the memory barrier cost to synchronize_rcu(). * Direct users of sys_membarrier - core dotnet garbage collector (https://github.com/dotnet/coreclr/issues/198) Microsoft core dotnet GC developers are planning to use the mprotect() side-effect of issuing memory barriers through IPIs as a way to implement Windows FlushProcessWriteBuffers() on Linux. They are referring to sys_membarrier in their github thread, specifically stating that sys_membarrier() is what they are looking for. To explain the benefit of this scheme, let's introduce two example threads: Thread A (non-frequent, e.g. executing liburcu synchronize_rcu()) Thread B (frequent, e.g. executing liburcu rcu_read_lock()/rcu_read_unlock()) In a scheme where all smp_mb() in thread A are ordering memory accesses with respect to smp_mb() present in Thread B, we can change each smp_mb() within Thread A into calls to sys_membarrier() and each smp_mb() within Thread B into compiler barriers "barrier()". Before the change, we had, for each smp_mb() pairs: Thread A Thread B previous mem accesses previous mem accesses smp_mb() smp_mb() following mem accesses following mem accesses After the change, these pairs become: Thread A Thread B prev mem accesses prev mem accesses sys_membarrier() barrier() follow mem accesses follow mem accesses As we can see, there are two possible scenarios: either Thread B memory accesses do not happen concurrently with Thread A accesses (1), or they do (2). 1) Non-concurrent Thread A vs Thread B accesses: Thread A Thread B prev mem accesses sys_membarrier() follow mem accesses prev mem accesses barrier() follow mem accesses In this case, thread B accesses will be weakly ordered. This is OK, because at that point, thread A is not particularly interested in ordering them with respect to its own accesses. 2) Concurrent Thread A vs Thread B accesses Thread A Thread B prev mem accesses prev mem accesses sys_membarrier() barrier() follow mem accesses follow mem accesses In this case, thread B accesses, which are ensured to be in program order thanks to the compiler barrier, will be "upgraded" to full smp_mb() by synchronize_sched(). * Benchmarks On Intel Xeon E5405 (8 cores) (one thread is calling sys_membarrier, the other 7 threads are busy looping) 1000 non-expedited sys_membarrier calls in 33s =3D 33 milliseconds/call. * User-space user of this system call: Userspace RCU library Both the signal-based and the sys_membarrier userspace RCU schemes permit us to remove the memory barrier from the userspace RCU rcu_read_lock() and rcu_read_unlock() primitives, thus significantly accelerating them. These memory barriers are replaced by compiler barriers on the read-side, and all matching memory barriers on the write-side are turned into an invocation of a memory barrier on all active threads in the process. By letting the kernel perform this synchronization rather than dumbly sending a signal to every process threads (as we currently do), we diminish the number of unnecessary wake ups and only issue the memory barriers on active threads. Non-running threads do not need to execute such barrier anyway, because these are implied by the scheduler context switches. Results in liburcu: Operations in 10s, 6 readers, 2 writers: memory barriers in reader: 1701557485 reads, 2202847 writes signal-based scheme: 9830061167 reads, 6700 writes sys_membarrier: 9952759104 reads, 425 writes sys_membarrier (dyn. check): 7970328887 reads, 425 writes The dynamic sys_membarrier availability check adds some overhead to the read-side compared to the signal-based scheme, but besides that, sys_membarrier slightly outperforms the signal-based scheme. However, this non-expedited sys_membarrier implementation has a much slower grace period than signal and memory barrier schemes. Besides diminishing the number of wake-ups, one major advantage of the membarrier system call over the signal-based scheme is that it does not need to reserve a signal. This plays much more nicely with libraries, and with processes injected into for tracing purposes, for which we cannot expect that signals will be unused by the application. An expedited version of this system call can be added later on to speed up the grace period. Its implementation will likely depend on reading the cpu_curr()->mm without holding each CPU's rq lock. This patch adds the system call to x86 and to asm-generic. [1] http://urcu.so membarrier(2) man page: MEMBARRIER(2) Linux Programmer's Manual MEMBARRIER(2) NAME membarrier - issue memory barriers on a set of threads SYNOPSIS #include <linux/membarrier.h> int membarrier(int cmd, int flags); DESCRIPTION The cmd argument is one of the following: MEMBARRIER_CMD_QUERY Query the set of supported commands. It returns a bitmask of supported commands. MEMBARRIER_CMD_SHARED Execute a memory barrier on all threads running on the system. Upon return from system call, the caller thread is ensured that all running threads have passed through a state where all memory accesses to user-space addresses match program order between entry to and return from the system call (non-running threads are de facto in such a state). This covers threads from all pro=E2=80=90 cesses running on the system. This command returns 0. The flags argument needs to be 0. For future extensions. All memory accesses performed in program order from each targeted thread is guaranteed to be ordered with respect to sys_membarrier(). If we use the semantic "barrier()" to represent a compiler barrier forcing memory accesses to be performed in program order across the barrier, and smp_mb() to represent explicit memory barriers forcing full memory ordering across the barrier, we have the following ordering table for each pair of barrier(), sys_membarrier() and smp_mb(): The pair ordering is detailed as (O: ordered, X: not ordered): barrier() smp_mb() sys_membarrier() barrier() X X O smp_mb() X O O sys_membarrier() O O O RETURN VALUE On success, these system calls return zero. On error, -1 is returned, and errno is set appropriately. For a given command, with flags argument set to 0, this system call is guaranteed to always return the same value until reboot.

Large frames will be copied using the dma engine. Small frames will be copied by the cpu. The dma_sync_wait prevents the cpu and dma engine copying in parallel. In the period where the cpu is copying, the dma engine is stopped. The dma engine is not doing any useful work to copy large frames during that time, and the additional time to restart the dma engine for the next large frame. This will decrease the throughput for the portion of a workload with large frames. In the period where the dma engine is copying, the cpu is held up waiting for dma to complete. The small frames processing will be delayed until the dma is complete. The RX frames are completed in-order, and the processing of small frames takes very little time, so dma_sync_wait may have an insignificant impact on the respose time of frames. The more significant impact is to the system, because the delay in dma_sync_wait is implemented as busy non-blocking wait. This can prevent the delayed core from doing any useful work, even if it could be processing work for other drivers, unrelated to transport RX processing. After applying the earlier patch to fix out-of-order RX acknoledgement, the dma_sync_wait is no longer necessary. Remove it, so that cpu memcpy will proceed immediately for small frames, in parallel with ongoing dma for large frames. Do not hold up the cpu from doing work while dma is in progress. The prior fix will continue to ensure in-order completion of the RX frames to the upper layer, and in-order delivery of the RX acknoledgement.
