Pull block DMA segment fix from Jens Axboe:
"Here's the virtual boundary segment size fix"
* tag 'for-linus-20190726-2' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux-block:
block: fix max segment size handling in blk_queue_virt_boundary
|

We should only set the max segment size to unlimited if we actually
have a virt boundary. Otherwise we accidentally clear that limit
when called from the SCSI midlayer, which always calls
blk_queue_virt_boundary, even if that mask is 0.
Fixes: 7ad388d8e4c7 ("scsi: core: add a host / host template field for the virt boundary")

blk_mq_sched_completed_request is a function that checks if the elevator
related to the request has started_request implemented, but currently, none of
the available IO schedulers implement started_request, so remove both.

By default, if a caller sets REQ_NOWAIT and we need to block, we'll
return -EAGAIN through the bio->bi_end_io() callback. For some use
cases, this makes it hard to use.
Allow a caller to ask for inline return of errors related to
blocking by also setting REQ_NOWAIT_INLINE.

Oleg noticed that our checking of data.got_token is unsafe in the
cleanup case, and should really use a memory barrier. Use a wmb on the
write side, and a rmb() on the read side. We don't need one in the main
loop since we're saved by set_current_state().

If we raced with somebody else getting an inflight counter we could fail
to get an inflight counter with no sleepers on the list, and thus need
to go to sleep. In this case has_sleepers should be true because we are
now relying on the waker to get our inflight counter for us. And in the
case of spurious wakeups we'd still want this to be the case. So set
has_sleepers to true if we went to sleep to make sure we're woken up the
proper way.

We saw a hang in production with WBT where there was only one waiter in
the throttle path and no outstanding IO. This is because of the
has_sleepers optimization that is used to make sure we don't steal an
inflight counter for new submitters when there are people already on the
list.
We can race with our check to see if the waitqueue has any waiters (this
is done locklessly) and the time we actually add ourselves to the
waitqueue. If this happens we'll go to sleep and never be woken up
because nobody is doing IO to wake us up.
Fix this by checking if the waitqueue has a single sleeper on the list
after we add ourselves, that way we have an uptodate view of the list.

Consider a sync bfq_queue Q that remains empty while in service, and
suppose that, when this happens, there is a fair amount of already
in-flight I/O not belonging to Q. In such a situation, I/O dispatching
may need to be plugged (until new I/O arrives for Q), for the
following reason.
The drive may decide to serve in-flight non-Q's I/O requests before
Q's ones, thereby delaying the arrival of new I/O requests for Q
(recall that Q is sync). If I/O-dispatching is not plugged, then,
while Q remains empty, a basically uncontrolled amount of I/O from
other queues may be dispatched too, possibly causing the service of
Q's I/O to be delayed even longer in the drive. This problem gets more
and more serious as the speed and the queue depth of the drive grow,
because, as these two quantities grow, the probability to find no
queue busy but many requests in flight grows too.
If Q has the same weight and priority as the other queues, then the
above delay is unlikely to cause any issue, because all queues tend to
undergo the same treatment. So, since not plugging I/O dispatching is
convenient for throughput, it is better not to plug. Things change in
case Q has a higher weight or priority than some other queue, because
Q's service guarantees may simply be violated. For this reason,
commit 1de0c4cd9ea6 ("block, bfq: reduce idling only in symmetric
scenarios") does plug I/O in such an asymmetric scenario. Plugging
minimizes the delay induced by already in-flight I/O, and enables Q to
recover the bandwidth it may lose because of this delay.
Yet the above commit does not cover the case of weight-raised queues,
for efficiency concerns. For weight-raised queues, I/O-dispatch
plugging is activated simply if not all bfq_queues are
weight-raised. But this check does not handle the case of in-flight
requests, because a bfq_queue may become non busy *before* all its
in-flight requests are completed.
This commit performs I/O-dispatch plugging for weight-raised queues if
there are some in-flight requests.
As a practical example of the resulting recover of control, under
write load on a Samsung SSD 970 PRO, gnome-terminal starts in 1.5
seconds after this fix, against 15 seconds before the fix (as a
reference, gnome-terminal takes about 35 seconds to start with any of
the other I/O schedulers).

To allow the SCSI subsystem scsi_execute_req() function to issue
requests using large buffers that are better allocated with vmalloc()
rather than kmalloc(), modify bio_map_kern() to allow passing a buffer
allocated with vmalloc().
To do so, detect vmalloc-ed buffers using is_vmalloc_addr(). For
vmalloc-ed buffers, flush the buffer using flush_kernel_vmap_range(),
use vmalloc_to_page() instead of virt_to_page() to obtain the pages of
the buffer, and invalidate the buffer addresses with
invalidate_kernel_vmap_range() on completion of read BIOs. This last
point is executed using the function bio_invalidate_vmalloc_pages()
which is defined only if the architecture defines
ARCH_HAS_FLUSH_KERNEL_DCACHE_PAGE, that is, if the architecture
actually needs the invalidation done.

In bio_integrity_prep(), a kernel buffer is allocated through kmalloc() to
hold integrity metadata. Later on, the buffer will be attached to the bio
structure through bio_integrity_add_page(), which returns the number of
bytes of integrity metadata attached. Due to unexpected situations,
bio_integrity_add_page() may return 0. As a result, bio_integrity_prep()
needs to be terminated with 'false' returned to indicate this error.
However, the allocated kernel buffer is not freed on this execution path,
leading to a memory leak.
To fix this issue, free the allocated buffer before returning from
bio_integrity_prep().

Simultaneously writing to a sequential zone of a zoned block device
from multiple contexts requires mutual exclusion for BIO issuing to
ensure that writes happen sequentially. However, even for a well
behaved user correctly implementing such synchronization, BIO plugging
may interfere and result in BIOs from the different contextx to be
reordered if plugging is done outside of the mutual exclusion section,
e.g. the plug was started by a function higher in the call chain than
the function issuing BIOs.
Context A Context B
| blk_start_plug()
| ...
| seq_write_zone()
| mutex_lock(zone)
| bio-0->bi_iter.bi_sector = zone->wp
| zone->wp += bio_sectors(bio-0)
| submit_bio(bio-0)
| bio-1->bi_iter.bi_sector = zone->wp
| zone->wp += bio_sectors(bio-1)
| submit_bio(bio-1)
| mutex_unlock(zone)
| return
| -----------------------> | seq_write_zone()
| mutex_lock(zone)
| bio-2->bi_iter.bi_sector = zone->wp
| zone->wp += bio_sectors(bio-2)
| submit_bio(bio-2)
| mutex_unlock(zone)
| <------------------------- |
| blk_finish_plug()
In the above example, despite the mutex synchronization ensuring the
correct BIO issuing order 0, 1, 2, context A BIOs 0 and 1 end up being
issued after BIO 2 of context B, when the plug is released with
blk_finish_plug().
While this problem can be addressed using the blk_flush_plug_list()
function (in the above example, the call must be inserted before the
zone mutex lock is released), a simple generic solution in the block
layer avoid this additional code in all zoned block device user code.
The simple generic solution implemented with this patch is to introduce
the internal helper function blk_mq_plug() to access the current
context plug on BIO submission. This helper returns the current plug
only if the target device is not a zoned block device or if the BIO to
be plugged is not a write operation. Otherwise, the caller context plug
is ignored and NULL returned, resulting is all writes to zoned block
device to never be plugged.

For large values of the number of zones reported and/or large zone
sizes, the sector increment calculated with
blk_queue_zone_sectors(q) * n
in blk_report_zones() loop can overflow the unsigned int type used for
the calculation as both "n" and blk_queue_zone_sectors() value are
unsigned int. E.g. for a device with 256 MB zones (524288 sectors),
overflow happens with 8192 or more zones reported.
Changing the return type of blk_queue_zone_sectors() to sector_t, fixes
this problem and avoids overflow problem for all other callers of this
helper too. The same change is also applied to the bdev_zone_sectors()
helper.

When a shared kthread needs to issue a bio for a cgroup, doing so
synchronously can lead to priority inversions as the kthread can be
trapped waiting for that cgroup. This patch implements
REQ_CGROUP_PUNT flag which makes submit_bio() punt the actual issuing
to a dedicated per-blkcg work item to avoid such priority inversions.
This will be used to fix priority inversions in btrfs compression and
should be generally useful as we grow filesystem support for
comprehensive IO control.

We discovered a problem in newer kernels where a disconnect of a NBD
device while the flush request was pending would result in a hang. This
is because the blk mq timeout handler does
if (!refcount_inc_not_zero(&rq->ref))
return true;
to determine if it's ok to run the timeout handler for the request.
Flush_rq's don't have a ref count set, so we'd skip running the timeout
handler for this request and it would just sit there in limbo forever.
Fix this by always setting the refcount of any request going through
blk_init_rq() to 1. I tested this with a nbd-server that dropped flush
requests to verify that it hung, and then tested with this patch to
verify I got the timeout as expected and the error handling kicked in.

The iolatency controller is based on rq_qos. It increments on
rq_qos_throttle() and decrements on either rq_qos_cleanup() or
rq_qos_done_bio(). a3fb01ba5af0 fixes the double accounting issue where
blk_mq_make_request() may call both rq_qos_cleanup() and
rq_qos_done_bio() on REQ_NO_WAIT. So checking STS_AGAIN prevents the
double decrement.
The above works upstream as the only way we can get STS_AGAIN is from
blk_mq_get_request() failing. The STS_AGAIN handling isn't a real
problem as bio_endio() skipping only happens on reserved tag allocation
failures which can only be caused by driver bugs and already triggers
WARN.
However, the fix creates a not so great dependency on how STS_AGAIN can
be propagated. Internally, we (Facebook) carry a patch that kills read
ahead if a cgroup is io congested or a fatal signal is pending. This
combined with chained bios progagate their bi_status to the parent is
not already set can can cause the parent bio to not clean up properly
even though it was successful. This consequently leaks the inflight
counter and can hang all IOs under that blkg.
To nip the adverse interaction early, this removes the rq_qos_cleanup()
callback in iolatency in favor of cleaning up always on the
rq_qos_done_bio() path.

No code that occurs between blk_mq_get_ctx() and blk_mq_put_ctx() depends
on preemption being disabled for its correctness. Since removing the CPU
preemption calls does not measurably affect performance, simplify the
blk-mq code by removing the blk_mq_put_ctx() function and also by not
disabling preemption in blk_mq_get_ctx().

'bio->bi_iter.bi_size' is 'unsigned int', which at most hold 4G - 1
bytes.
Before 07173c3ec276 ("block: enable multipage bvecs"), one bio can
include very limited pages, and usually at most 256, so the fs bio
size won't be bigger than 1M bytes most of times.
Since we support multi-page bvec, in theory one fs bio really can
be added > 1M pages, especially in case of hugepage, or big writeback
with too many dirty pages. Then there is chance in which .bi_size
is overflowed.
Fixes this issue by using bio_full() to check if the added segment may
overflow .bi_size.

Enable users to mark the shadow mbr as done without completely
deactivating the shadow mbr feature. This may be useful on reboots,
when the power to the disk is not disconnected in between and the shadow
mbr stores the required boot files. Of course, this saves also the
(few) commands required to enable the feature if it is already enabled
and one only wants to mark the shadow mbr as done.

PSID is a 32 character password printed on the drive label,
to prove its physical access. This PSID reverttper function
is very useful to regain the control over the drive when it
is locked and the user can no longer access it because of some
failures. However, *all the data on the drive is completely
erased*. This method is advisable only when the user is exhausted
of all other recovery methods.
PSID capabilities are described in:

In reboot tests on several devices we were seeing a "use after free"
when slub_debug or KASAN was enabled. The kernel complained about:
Unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address 6b6b6c2b
...which is a classic sign of use after free under slub_debug. The
stack crawl in kgdb looked like:
0 test_bit (addr=<optimized out>, nr=<optimized out>)
1 bfq_bfqq_busy (bfqq=<optimized out>)
2 bfq_select_queue (bfqd=<optimized out>)
3 __bfq_dispatch_request (hctx=<optimized out>)
4 bfq_dispatch_request (hctx=<optimized out>)
5 0xc056ef00 in blk_mq_do_dispatch_sched (hctx=0xed249440)
6 0xc056f728 in blk_mq_sched_dispatch_requests (hctx=0xed249440)
7 0xc0568d24 in __blk_mq_run_hw_queue (hctx=0xed249440)
8 0xc0568d94 in blk_mq_run_work_fn (work=<optimized out>)
9 0xc024c5c4 in process_one_work (worker=0xec6d4640, work=0xed249480)
10 0xc024cff4 in worker_thread (__worker=0xec6d4640)
Digging in kgdb, it could be found that, though bfqq looked fine,
bfqq->bic had been freed.
Through further digging, I postulated that perhaps it is illegal to
access a "bic" (AKA an "icq") after bfq_exit_icq() had been called
because the "bic" can be freed at some point in time after this call
is made. I confirmed that there certainly were cases where the exact
crashing code path would access the "bic" after bfq_exit_icq() had
been called. Sspecifically I set the "bfqq->bic" to (void *)0x7 and
saw that the bic was 0x7 at the time of the crash.
To understand a bit more about why this crash was fairly uncommon (I
saw it only once in a few hundred reboots), you can see that much of
the time bfq_exit_icq_fbqq() fully frees the bfqq and thus it can't
access the ->bic anymore. The only case it doesn't is if
bfq_put_queue() sees a reference still held.
However, even in the case when bfqq isn't freed, the crash is still
rare. Why? I tracked what happened to the "bic" after the exit
routine. It doesn't get freed right away. Rather,
put_io_context_active() eventually called put_io_context() which
queued up freeing on a workqueue. The freeing then actually happened
later than that through call_rcu(). Despite all these delays, some
extra debugging showed that all the hoops could be jumped through in
time and the memory could be freed causing the original crash. Phew!
To make a long story short, assuming it truly is illegal to access an
icq after the "exit_icq" callback is finished, this patch is needed.

Some debug code suggested by Paolo was tripping when I did reboot
stress tests. Specifically in bfq_bfqq_resume_state()
"bic->saved_wr_start_at_switch_to_srt" was later than the current
value of "jiffies". A bit of debugging showed that
"bic->saved_wr_start_at_switch_to_srt" was actually 0 and a bit more
debugging showed that was because we had run through the "unlikely"
case in the bfq_bfqq_save_state() function.
Let's init "saved_wr_start_at_switch_to_srt" in the unlikely case to
something sane.
NOTE: this fixes no known real-world errors.

Consider, on one side, a bfq_queue Q that remains empty while in
service, and, on the other side, the pending I/O of bfq_queues that,
according to their timestamps, have to be served after Q. If an
uncontrolled amount of I/O from the latter bfq_queues were dispatched
while Q is waiting for its new I/O to arrive, then Q's bandwidth
guarantees would be violated. To prevent this, I/O dispatch is plugged
until Q receives new I/O (except for a properly controlled amount of
injected I/O). Unfortunately, preemption breaks I/O-dispatch plugging,
for the following reason.
Preemption is performed in two steps. First, Q is expired and
re-scheduled. Second, the new bfq_queue to serve is chosen. The first
step is needed by the second, as the second can be performed only
after Q's timestamps have been properly updated (done in the
expiration step), and Q has been re-queued for service. This
dependency is a consequence of the way how BFQ's scheduling algorithm
is currently implemented.
But Q is not re-scheduled at all in the first step, because Q is
empty. As a consequence, an uncontrolled amount of I/O may be
dispatched until Q becomes non empty again. This breaks Q's service
guarantees.
This commit addresses this issue by re-scheduling Q even if it is
empty. This in turn breaks the assumption that all scheduled queues
are non empty. Then a few extra checks are now needed.

BFQ enqueues the I/O coming from each process into a separate
bfq_queue, and serves bfq_queues one at a time. Each bfq_queue may be
served for at most timeout_sync milliseconds (default: 125 ms). This
service scheme is prone to the following inaccuracy.
While a bfq_queue Q1 is in service, some empty bfq_queue Q2 may
receive I/O, and, according to BFQ's scheduling policy, may become the
right bfq_queue to serve, in place of the currently in-service
bfq_queue. In this respect, postponing the service of Q2 to after the
service of Q1 finishes may delay the completion of Q2's I/O, compared
with an ideal service in which all non-empty bfq_queues are served in
parallel, and every non-empty bfq_queue is served at a rate
proportional to the bfq_queue's weight. This additional delay is equal
at most to the time Q1 may unjustly remain in service before switching
to Q2.
If Q1 and Q2 have the same weight, then this time is most likely
negligible compared with the completion time to be guaranteed to Q2's
I/O. In addition, first, one of the reasons why BFQ may want to serve
Q1 for a while is that this boosts throughput and, second, serving Q1
longer reduces BFQ's overhead. As a conclusion, it is usually better
not to preempt Q1 if both Q1 and Q2 have the same weight.
In contrast, as Q2's weight or priority becomes higher and higher
compared with that of Q1, the above delay becomes larger and larger,
compared with the I/O completion times that have to be guaranteed to
Q2 according to Q2's weight. So reducing this delay may be more
important than avoiding the costs of preempting Q1.
Accordingly, this commit preempts Q1 if Q2 has a higher weight or a
higher priority than Q1. Preemption causes Q1 to be re-scheduled, and
triggers a new choice of the next bfq_queue to serve. If Q2 really is
the next bfq_queue to serve, then Q2 will be set in service
immediately.
This change reduces the component of the I/O latency caused by the
above delay by about 80%. For example, on an (old) PLEXTOR PX-256M5
SSD, the maximum latency reported by fio drops from 15.1 to 3.2 ms for
a process doing sporadic random reads while another process is doing
continuous sequential reads.

A bfq_queue Q may happen to be synchronized with another
bfq_queue Q2, i.e., the I/O of Q2 may need to be completed for Q to
receive new I/O. We call Q2 "waker queue".
If I/O plugging is being performed for Q, and Q is not receiving any
more I/O because of the above synchronization, then, thanks to BFQ's
injection mechanism, the waker queue is likely to get served before
the I/O-plugging timeout fires.
Unfortunately, this fact may not be sufficient to guarantee a high
throughput during the I/O plugging, because the inject limit for Q may
be too low to guarantee a lot of injected I/O. In addition, the
duration of the plugging, i.e., the time before Q finally receives new
I/O, may not be minimized, because the waker queue may happen to be
served only after other queues.
To address these issues, this commit introduces the explicit detection
of the waker queue, and the unconditional injection of a pending I/O
request of the waker queue on each invocation of
bfq_dispatch_request().
One may be concerned that this systematic injection of I/O from the
waker queue delays the service of Q's I/O. Fortunately, it doesn't. On
the contrary, next Q's I/O is brought forward dramatically, for it is
not blocked for milliseconds.
