| * cgroup: convert all non-memcg controllers to the new cftype interfaceTejun Heo2012-04-011-7/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Convert debug, freezer, cpuset, cpu_cgroup, cpuacct, net_prio, blkio, net_cls and device controllers to use the new cftype based interface. Termination entry is added to cftype arrays and populate callbacks are replaced with cgroup_subsys->base_cftypes initializations. This is functionally identical transformation. There shouldn't be any visible behavior change. memcg is rather special and will be converted separately.

| * cgroup: relocate cftype and cgroup_subsys definitions in controllersTejun Heo2012-04-011-22/+16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | blk-cgroup, netprio_cgroup, cls_cgroup and tcp_memcontrol unnecessarily define cftype array and cgroup_subsys structures at the top of the file, which is unconventional and necessiates forward declaration of methods. This patch relocates those below the definitions of the methods and removes the forward declarations. Note that forward declaration of tcp_files[] is added in tcp_memcontrol.c for tcp_init_cgroup(). This will be removed soon by another patch. This patch doesn't introduce any functional change. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Acked-by: Li Zefan <lizf@cn.fujitsu.com>

|\ \ | |/ |/| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Pull block core bits from Jens Axboe: "It's a nice and quiet round this time, since most of the tricky stuff has been pushed to 3.5 to give it more time to mature. After a few hectic block IO core changes for 3.3 and 3.2, I'm quite happy with a slow round. Really minor stuff in here, the only real functional change is making the auto-unplug threshold a per-queue entity. The threshold is set so that it's low enough that we don't hold off IO for too long, but still big enough to get a nice benefit from the batched insert (and hence queue lock cost reduction). For raid configurations, this currently breaks down." * 'for-3.4/core' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux-block: block: make auto block plug flush threshold per-disk based Documentation: Add sysfs ABI change for cfq's target latency. block: Make cfq_target_latency tunable through sysfs. block: use lockdep_assert_held for queue locking block: blk_alloc_queue_node(): use caller's GFP flags instead of GFP_KERNEL
| * block: make auto block plug flush threshold per-disk basedShaohua Li2012-04-061-1/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We do auto block plug flush to reduce latency, the threshold is 16 requests. This works well if the task is accessing one or two drives. The problem is if the task is accessing a raid 0 device and the raid disk number is big, say 8 or 16, 16/8 = 2 or 16/16=1, we will have heavy lock contention. This patch makes the threshold per-disk based. The latency should be still ok accessing one or two drives. The setup with application accessing a lot of drives in the meantime uaually is big machine, avoiding lock contention is more important, because any contention will actually increase latency.

| * block: Make cfq_target_latency tunable through sysfs.Tao Ma2012-04-011-2/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch (as1519) fixes a bug in the block layer's disk-events polling. The polling is done by a work routine queued on the system_nrt_wq workqueue. Since that workqueue isn't freezable, the polling continues even in the middle of a system sleep transition. Obviously, polling a suspended drive for media changes and such isn't a good thing to do; in the case of USB mass-storage devices it can lead to real problems requiring device resets and even re-enumeration. The patch fixes things by creating a new system-wide, non-reentrant, freezable workqueue and using it for disk-events polling.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | While updating locking, b2efa05265 "block, cfq: unlink cfq_io_context's immediately" moved elevator_exit_icq_fn() invocation from exit_io_context() to the final ioc put. While this doesn't cause catastrophic failure, it effectively removes task exit notification to elevator and cause noticeable IO performance degradation with CFQ. On task exit, CFQ used to immediately expire the slice if it was being used by the exiting task as no more IO would be issued by the task; however, after b2efa05265, the notification is lost and disk could sit idle needlessly, leading to noticeable IO performance degradation for certain workloads. This patch renames ioc_exit_icq() to ioc_destroy_icq(), separates elevator_exit_icq_fn() invocation into ioc_exit_icq() and invokes it from exit_io_context(). ICQ_EXITED flag is added to avoid invoking the callback more than once for the same icq. Walking icq_list from ioc side and invoking elevator callback requires reverse double locking. This may be better implemented using RCU; unfortunately, using RCU isn't trivial. e.g. RCU protection would need to cover request_queue and queue_lock switch on cleanup makes grabbing queue_lock from RCU unsafe. Reverse double locking should do, at least for now.

|/ / | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | From: Ben Hutchings <ben@decadent.org.uk> Extended VBLKs (those larger than the preset VBLK size) are divided into fragments, each with its own VBLK header. Our LDM implementation generally assumes that each VBLK is contiguous in memory, so these fragments must be assembled before further processing. Currently the reassembly seems to be done quite wrongly - no VBLK header is copied into the contiguous buffer, and the length of the header is subtracted twice from each fragment. Also the total length of the reassembled VBLK is calculated incorrectly. Signed-off-by: Ben Hutchings <ben@decadent.org.uk> Signed-off-by: Anton Altaparmakov <anton@tuxera.com>

* | block: don't call elevator callbacks for plug mergesTejun Heo2012-02-082-21/+13

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.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Stacking driver queue limits are typically bounded exclusively by the capabilities of the low level devices, not by the stacking driver itself. This patch introduces blk_set_stacking_limits() which has more liberal metrics than the default queue limits function. This allows us to inherit topology parameters from bottom devices without manually tweaking the default limits in each driver prior to calling the stacking function. Since there is now a clear distinction between stacking and low-level devices, blk_set_default_limits() has been modified to carry the more conservative values that we used to manually set in blk_queue_make_request().

| * block: an exiting task should be allowed to create io_contextTejun Heo2011-12-251-2/+9
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | While fixing io_context creation / task exit race condition, 6e736be7f2 "block: make ioc get/put interface more conventional and fix race on alloction" also prevented an exiting (%PF_EXITING) task from creating its own io_context. This is incorrect as exit path may issue IOs, e.g. from exit_files(), and if those IOs are the first ones issued by the task, io_context needs to be created to process the IOs. Combined with the existing problem of io_context / io_cq creation failure having the possibility of stalling IO, this problem results in deterministic full IO lockup with certain workloads. Fix it by allowing io_context creation regardless of %PF_EXITING for %current.

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.

The new function expects its caller to pass in io_context, uses elevator_type->icq_cache, handles generic init, calls the new elevator operation for elevator specific initialization, and returns pointer to created or looked up icq. This leaves cfq_icq_pool variable without any user. Removed. This prepares for io_context interface cleanup and doesn't introduce any functional difference.

The odd ->io_cq->exit/release() callbacks are replaced with elevator_ops->elevator_exit_icq_fn() with unlinking from both ioc and q, and freeing automatically handled by blk-ioc. The elevator 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.

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. Changes in this patch are mechanical and don't cause functional change.
