In blk-cgroup, operations on blkg objects are protected with the
request_queue lock. This is no more the lock that protects
I/O-scheduler operations in blk-mq. In fact, the latter are now
protected with a finer-grained per-scheduler-instance lock. As a
consequence, although blkg lookups are also rcu-protected, blk-mq I/O
schedulers may see inconsistent data when they access blkg and
blkg-related objects. BFQ does access these objects, and does incur
this problem, in the following case.
The blkg_lookup performed in bfq_get_queue, being protected (only)
through rcu, may happen to return the address of a copy of the
original blkg. If this is the case, then the blkg_get performed in
bfq_get_queue, to pin down the blkg, is useless: it does not prevent
blk-cgroup code from destroying both the original blkg and all objects
directly or indirectly referred by the copy of the blkg. BFQ accesses
these objects, which typically causes a crash for NULL-pointer
dereference of memory-protection violation.
Some additional protection mechanism should be added to blk-cgroup to
address this issue. In the meantime, this commit provides a quick
temporary fix for BFQ: cache (when safe) blkg data that might
disappear right after a blkg_lookup.
In particular, this commit exploits the following facts to achieve its
goal without introducing further locks. Destroy operations on a blkg
invoke, as a first step, hooks of the scheduler associated with the
blkg. And these hooks are executed with bfqd->lock held for BFQ. As a
consequence, for any blkg associated with the request queue an
instance of BFQ is attached to, we are guaranteed that such a blkg is
not destroyed, and that all the pointers it contains are consistent,
while that instance is holding its bfqd->lock. A blkg_lookup performed
with bfqd->lock held then returns a fully consistent blkg, which
remains consistent until this lock is held. In more detail, this holds
even if the returned blkg is a copy of the original one.
Finally, also the object describing a group inside BFQ needs to be
protected from destruction on the blkg_free of the original blkg
(which invokes bfq_pd_free). This commit adds private refcounting for
this object, to let it disappear only after no bfq_queue refers to it
any longer.
This commit also removes or updates some stale comments on locking
issues related to blk-cgroup operations.

hard disk IO latency varies a lot depending on spindle move. The latency
range could be from several microseconds to several milliseconds. It's
pretty hard to get the baseline latency used by io.low.
We will use a different stragety here. The idea is only using IO with
spindle move to determine if cgroup IO is in good state. For HD, if io
latency is small (< 1ms), we ignore the IO. Such IO is likely from
sequential IO, and is helpless to help determine if a cgroup's IO is
impacted by other cgroups. With this, we only account IO with big
latency. Then we can choose a hardcoded baseline latency for HD (4ms,
which is typical IO latency with seek). With all these settings, the
io.low latency works for both HD and SSD.

When adding a cfq_group into the cfq service tree, we use CFQ_IDLE_DELAY
as the delay of cfq_group's vdisktime if there have been other cfq_groups
already.
When cfq is under iops mode, commit 9a7f38c42c ("cfq-iosched: Convert
from jiffies to nanoseconds") could result in a large iops delay and
lead to an abnormal io schedule delay for the added cfq_group. To fix
it, we just need to revert to the old CFQ_IDLE_DELAY value: HZ / 5
when iops mode is enabled.
Despite having the same value, the delay of a cfq_queue in idle class
and the delay of cfq_group are different things, so I define two new
macros for the delay of a cfq_group under time-slice mode and iops mode.

Pull libnvdimm fixes from Dan Williams:
"Incremental fixes and a small feature addition on top of the main
libnvdimm 4.12 pull request:
- Geert noticed that tinyconfig was bloated by BLOCK selecting DAX.
The size regression is fixed by moving all dax helpers into the
dax-core and only specifying "select DAX" for FS_DAX and
dax-capable drivers. He also asked for clarification of the
NR_DEV_DAX config option which, on closer look, does not need to be
a config option at all. Mike also throws in a DEV_DAX_PMEM fixup
for good measure.
- Ben's attention to detail on -stable patch submissions caught a
case where the recent fixes to arch_copy_from_iter_pmem() missed a
condition where we strand dirty data in the cache. This is tagged
for -stable and will also be included in the rework of the pmem api
to a proposed {memcpy,copy_user}_flushcache() interface for 4.13.
- Vishal adds a feature that missed the initial pull due to pending
review feedback. It allows the kernel to clear media errors when
initializing a BTT (atomic sector update driver) instance on a pmem
namespace.
- Ross noticed that the dax_device + dax_operations conversion broke
__dax_zero_page_range(). The nvdimm unit tests fail to check this
path, but xfstests immediately trips over it. No excuse for missing
this before submitting the 4.12 pull request.
These all pass the nvdimm unit tests and an xfstests spot check. The
set has received a build success notification from the kbuild robot"

The introduction of the BFQ and Kyber I/O schedulers has triggered a
new wave of I/O benchmarks. Unfortunately, comments and discussions on
these benchmarks confirm that there is still little awareness that it
is very hard to achieve, at the same time, a low latency and a high
throughput. In particular, virtually all benchmarks measure
throughput, or throughput-related figures of merit, but, for BFQ, they
use the scheduler in its default configuration. This configuration is
geared, instead, toward a low latency. This is evidently a sign that
BFQ documentation is still too unclear on this important aspect. This
commit addresses this issue by stressing how BFQ configuration must be
(easily) changed if the only goal is maximum throughput.

For configurations that do not enable DAX filesystems or drivers, do not
require the DAX core to be built.
Given that the 'direct_access' method has been removed from
'block_device_operations', we can also go ahead and remove the
block-related dax helper functions from fs/block_dev.c to
drivers/dax/super.c. This keeps dax details out of the block layer and
lets the DAX core be built as a module in the FS_DAX=n case.
Filesystems need to include dax.h to call bdev_dax_supported().

The cpu hotplug path will hold cpu_hotplug.lock and then reinit all exiting
queues for blk mq w/ all_q_mutex, however, blk_mq_init_allocated_queue() will
contend these two locks in the inversion order. This is due to commit eabe06595d

* Region media error reporting: A libnvdimm region device is the parent
to one or more namespaces. To date, media errors have been reported via
the "badblocks" attribute attached to pmem block devices for namespaces
in "raw" or "memory" mode. Given that namespaces can be in "device-dax"
or "btt-sector" mode this new interface reports media errors
generically, i.e. independent of namespace modes or state. This
subsequently allows userspace tooling to craft "ACPI 6.1 Section
9.20.7.6 Function Index 4 - Clear Uncorrectable Error" requests and
submit them via the ioctl path for NVDIMM root bus devices.
* Introduce 'struct dax_device' and 'struct dax_operations': Prompted by
a request from Linus and feedback from Christoph this allows for dax
capable drivers to publish their own custom dax operations. This fixes
the broken assumption that all dax operations are related to a
persistent memory device, and makes it easier for other architectures
and platforms to add customized persistent memory support.
* 'libnvdimm' core updates: A new "deep_flush" sysfs attribute is
available for storage appliance applications to manually trigger memory
controllers to drain write-pending buffers that would otherwise be
flushed automatically by the platform ADR (asynchronous-DRAM-refresh)
mechanism at a power loss event. Support for "locked" DIMMs is included
to prevent namespaces from surfacing when the namespace label data area
is locked. Finally, fixes for various reported deadlocks and crashes,
also tagged for -stable.
* ACPI / nfit driver updates: General updates of the nfit driver to add
DSM command overrides, ACPI 6.1 health state flags support, DSM payload
debug available by default, and various fixes.

Add missing seq_file.h header in blk-mq-debugfs.h
Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@fb.com>
Originally, I tied debugfs registration/unregistration together with
sysfs. There's no reason to do this, and it's getting in the way of
letting schedulers define their own debugfs attributes. Instead, tie the
debugfs registration to the lifetime of the structures themselves.
The saner lifetimes mean we can also get rid of the extra mq directory
and move everything one level up. I.e., nvme0n1/mq/hctx0/tags is now
just nvme0n1/hctx0/tags.

In commit e869b5462f ("blk-mq: Unregister debugfs attributes
earlier"), we shuffled the debugfs cleanup around so that the "state"
attribute was removed before we freed the blk-mq data structures.
However, later changes are going to undo that, so we need to explicitly
disallow running a dead queue.

A large part of blk-mq-debugfs.c is file_operations and seq_file
boilerplate. This sucks as is but will suck even more when schedulers
can define their own debugfs entries. Factor it all out into a single
blk_mq_debugfs_fops which multiplexes as needed. We store the
request_queue, blk_mq_hw_ctx, or blk_mq_ctx in the parent directory
dentry, which is kind of hacky, but it works.

blk_queue_flags_store() currently truncates and returns a short write if
the operation being written is too long. This can give us weird results,
like here:

A previous commit introduced the sync flush, which we need from
internal callers like blk_mq_quiesce_queue(). However, we also
call the stop helpers from drivers, particularly from ->queue_rq()
when we have to stop processing for a bit. We can't block from
those locations, and we don't have to guarantee that we're
fully flushed.
