Jens Axboe 1eff9d322a block: rename bio bi_rw to bi_opf
Since commit 63a4cc2486, bio->bi_rw contains flags in the lower
portion and the op code in the higher portions. This means that
old code that relies on manually setting bi_rw is most likely
going to be broken. Instead of letting that brokeness linger,
rename the member, to force old and out-of-tree code to break
at compile time instead of at runtime.

No intended functional changes in this commit.

Paolo Valente 20bd723ec6 block: add missing group association in bio-cloning functions
When a bio is cloned, the newly created bio must be associated with
the same blkcg as the original bio (if BLK_CGROUP is enabled). If
this operation is not performed, then the new bio is not associated
with any group, and the group of the current task is returned when
the group of the bio is requested.

Depending on the cloning frequency, this may cause a large
percentage of the bios belonging to a given group to be treated
as if belonging to other groups (in most cases as if belonging to
the root group). The expected group isolation may thereby be broken.

This commit adds the missing association in bio-cloning functions.

Mike Christie 95fe6c1a20 block, fs, mm, drivers: use bio set/get op accessors
This patch converts the simple bi_rw use cases in the block,
drivers, mm and fs code to set/get the bio operation using
bio_set_op_attrs/bio_op

These should be simple one or two liner cases, so I just did them
in one patch. The next patches handle the more complicated
cases in a module per patch.

Mike Snitzer 0ef5a50c16 block: make bio_inc_remaining() interface accessible again
Commit 326e1dbb57 ("block: remove management of bi_remaining when
restoring original bi_end_io") made bio_inc_remaining() private to bio.c
because the only use-case that made sense was confined to the
bio_chain() interface.

Since that time DM thinp went on to use bio_chain() in its relatively
complex implementation of async discard support.  That implementation,
even when converted over to use the new async __blkdev_issue_discard()
interface, depends on deferred completion of the original discard bio --
which is most appropriately implemented using bio_inc_remaining().

DM thinp foolishly duplicated bio_inc_remaining(), local to dm-thin.c as
__bio_inc_remaining(), so re-exporting bio_inc_remaining() allows us to
put an end to that foolishness.

All said, bio_inc_remaining() should really only be used in conjunction
with bio_chain().  It isn't intended for generic bio reference counting.

Kirill A. Shutemov 09cbfeaf1a mm, fs: get rid of PAGE_CACHE_* and page_cache_{get,release} macros
PAGE_CACHE_{SIZE,SHIFT,MASK,ALIGN} macros were introduced *long* time
ago with promise that one day it will be possible to implement page
cache with bigger chunks than PAGE_SIZE.

This promise never materialized.  And unlikely will.

We have many places where PAGE_CACHE_SIZE assumed to be equal to
PAGE_SIZE.  And it's constant source of confusion on whether
PAGE_CACHE_* or PAGE_* constant should be used in a particular case,
especially on the border between fs and mm.

Global switching to PAGE_CACHE_SIZE != PAGE_SIZE would cause to much
breakage to be doable.

Let's stop pretending that pages in page cache are special.  They are
not.

The changes are pretty straight-forward:

 - <foo> << (PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT - PAGE_SHIFT) -> <foo>;

 - <foo> >> (PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT - PAGE_SHIFT) -> <foo>;

 - PAGE_CACHE_{SIZE,SHIFT,MASK,ALIGN} -> PAGE_{SIZE,SHIFT,MASK,ALIGN};

 - page_cache_get() -> get_page();

 - page_cache_release() -> put_page();

This patch contains automated changes generated with coccinelle using
script below.  For some reason, coccinelle doesn't patch header files.
I've called spatch for them manually.

The only adjustment after coccinelle is revert of changes to
PAGE_CAHCE_ALIGN definition: we are going to drop it later.

There are few places in the code where coccinelle didn't reach.  I'll
fix them manually in a separate patch.  Comments and documentation also
will be addressed with the separate patch.

Hannes Reinecke 2d99b55d37 bio: return EINTR if copying to user space got interrupted
Commit 35dc248383 introduced a check for
current->mm to see if we have a user space context and only copies data
if we do. Now if an IO gets interrupted by a signal data isn't copied
into user space any more (as we don't have a user space context) but
user space isn't notified about it.

This patch modifies the behaviour to return -EINTR from bio_uncopy_user()
to notify userland that a signal has interrupted the syscall, otherwise
it could lead to a situation where the caller may get a buffer with
no data returned.

This can be reproduced by issuing SG_IO ioctl()s in one thread while
constantly sending signals to it.

Mel Gorman d0164adc89 mm, page_alloc: distinguish between being unable to sleep, unwilling to sleep and avoiding waking kswapd
__GFP_WAIT has been used to identify atomic context in callers that hold
spinlocks or are in interrupts.  They are expected to be high priority and
have access one of two watermarks lower than "min" which can be referred
to as the "atomic reserve".  __GFP_HIGH users get access to the first
lower watermark and can be called the "high priority reserve".

Over time, callers had a requirement to not block when fallback options
were available.  Some have abused __GFP_WAIT leading to a situation where
an optimisitic allocation with a fallback option can access atomic
reserves.

This patch uses __GFP_ATOMIC to identify callers that are truely atomic,
cannot sleep and have no alternative.  High priority users continue to use
__GFP_HIGH.  __GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM identifies callers that can sleep and
are willing to enter direct reclaim.  __GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM to identify
callers that want to wake kswapd for background reclaim.  __GFP_WAIT is
redefined as a caller that is willing to enter direct reclaim and wake
kswapd for background reclaim.

This patch then converts a number of sites

o __GFP_ATOMIC is used by callers that are high priority and have memory
  pools for those requests. GFP_ATOMIC uses this flag.

o Callers that have a limited mempool to guarantee forward progress clear
  __GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM but keep __GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM. bio allocations fall
  into this category where kswapd will still be woken but atomic reserves
  are not used as there is a one-entry mempool to guarantee progress.

o Callers that are checking if they are non-blocking should use the
  helper gfpflags_allow_blocking() where possible. This is because
  checking for __GFP_WAIT as was done historically now can trigger false
  positives. Some exceptions like dm-crypt.c exist where the code intent
  is clearer if __GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM is used instead of the helper due to
  flag manipulations.

o Callers that built their own GFP flags instead of starting with GFP_KERNEL
  and friends now also need to specify __GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM.

The first key hazard to watch out for is callers that removed __GFP_WAIT
and was depending on access to atomic reserves for inconspicuous reasons.
In some cases it may be appropriate for them to use __GFP_HIGH.

The second key hazard is callers that assembled their own combination of
GFP flags instead of starting with something like GFP_KERNEL.  They may
now wish to specify __GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM.  It's almost certainly harmless
if it's missed in most cases as other activity will wake kswapd.

Linus Torvalds b0a1ea51bd Merge branch 'for-4.3/blkcg' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux-block
Pull blk-cg updates from Jens Axboe:
 "A bit later in the cycle, but this has been in the block tree for a a
  while.  This is basically four patchsets from Tejun, that improve our
  buffered cgroup writeback.  It was dependent on the other cgroup
  changes, but they went in earlier in this cycle.

  Series 1 is set of 5 patches that has cgroup writeback updates:

   - bdi_writeback iteration fix which could lead to some wb's being
     skipped or repeated during e.g. sync under memory pressure.

   - Simplification of wb work wait mechanism.

   - Writeback tracepoints updated to report cgroup.

  Series 2 is is a set of updates for the CFQ cgroup writeback handling:

     cfq has always charged all async IOs to the root cgroup.  It didn't
     have much choice as writeback didn't know about cgroups and there
     was no way to tell who to blame for a given writeback IO.
     writeback finally grew support for cgroups and now tags each
     writeback IO with the appropriate cgroup to charge it against.

     This patchset updates cfq so that it follows the blkcg each bio is
     tagged with.  Async cfq_queues are now shared across cfq_group,
     which is per-cgroup, instead of per-request_queue cfq_data.  This
     makes all IOs follow the weight based IO resource distribution
     implemented by cfq.

     - Switched from GFP_ATOMIC to GFP_NOWAIT as suggested by Jeff.

     - Other misc review points addressed, acks added and rebased.

  Series 3 is the blkcg policy cleanup patches:

     This patchset contains assorted cleanups for blkcg_policy methods
     and blk[c]g_policy_data handling.

     - alloc/free added for blkg_policy_data.  exit dropped.

     - alloc/free added for blkcg_policy_data.

     - blk-throttle's async percpu allocation is replaced with direct
       allocation.

     - all methods now take blk[c]g_policy_data instead of blkcg_gq or
       blkcg.

  And finally, series 4 is a set of patches cleaning up the blkcg stats
  handling:

    blkcg's stats have always been somwhat of a mess.  This patchset
    tries to improve the situation a bit.

     - The following patches added to consolidate blkcg entry point and
       blkg creation.  This is in itself is an improvement and helps
       colllecting common stats on bio issue.

     - per-blkg stats now accounted on bio issue rather than request
       completion so that bio based and request based drivers can behave
       the same way.  The issue was spotted by Vivek.

     - cfq-iosched implements custom recursive stats and blk-throttle
       implements custom per-cpu stats.  This patchset make blkcg core
       support both by default.

     - cfq-iosched and blk-throttle keep track of the same stats
       multiple times.  Unify them"

Keith Busch 03100aada9 block: Replace SG_GAPS with new queue limits mask
The SG_GAPS queue flag caused checks for bio vector alignment against
PAGE_SIZE, but the device may have different constraints. This patch
adds a queue limits so a driver with such constraints can set to allow
requests that would have been unnecessarily split. The new gaps check
takes the request_queue as a parameter to simplify the logic around
invoking this function.

This new limit makes the queue flag redundant, so removing it and
all usage. Device-mappers will inherit the correct settings through
blk_stack_limits().

Tejun Heo c165b3e3c7 blkcg: rename subsystem name from blkio to io
blkio interface has become messy over time and is currently the
largest.  In addition to the inconsistent naming scheme, it has
multiple stat files which report more or less the same thing, a number
of debug stat files which expose internal details which shouldn't have
been part of the public interface in the first place, recursive and
non-recursive stats and leaf and non-leaf knobs.

Both recursive vs. non-recursive and leaf vs. non-leaf distinctions
don't make any sense on the unified hierarchy as only leaf cgroups can
contain processes.  cgroups is going through a major interface
revision with the unified hierarchy involving significant fundamental
usage changes and given that a significant portion of the interface
doesn't make sense anymore, it's a good time to reorganize the
interface.

As the first step, this patch renames the external visible subsystem
name from "blkio" to "io".  This is more concise, matches the other
two major subsystem names, "cpu" and "memory", and better suited as
blkcg will be involved in anything writeback related too whether an
actual block device is involved or not.

As the subsystem legacy_name is set to "blkio", the only userland
visible change outside the unified hierarchy is that blkcg is reported
as "io" instead of "blkio" in the subsystem initialized message during
boot.  On the unified hierarchy, blkcg now appears as "io".

Kent Overstreet c66a14d07c block: simplify bio_add_page()
Since generic_make_request() can now handle arbitrary size bios, all we
have to do is make sure the bvec array doesn't overflow.
__bio_add_page() doesn't need to call ->merge_bvec_fn(), where
we can get rid of unnecessary code paths.

Removing the call to ->merge_bvec_fn() is also fine, as no driver that
implements support for BLOCK_PC commands even has a ->merge_bvec_fn()
method.

Jens Axboe b7c44ed9d2 block: manipulate bio->bi_flags through helpers
Some places use helpers now, others don't. We only have the 'is set'
helper, add helpers for setting and clearing flags too.

It was a bit of a mess of atomic vs non-atomic access. With
BIO_UPTODATE gone, we don't have any risk of concurrent access to the
flags. So relax the restriction and don't make any of them atomic. The
flags that do have serialization issues (reffed and chained), we
already handle those separately.

Christoph Hellwig 4246a0b63b block: add a bi_error field to struct bio
Currently we have two different ways to signal an I/O error on a BIO:

 (1) by clearing the BIO_UPTODATE flag
 (2) by returning a Linux errno value to the bi_end_io callback

The first one has the drawback of only communicating a single possible
error (-EIO), and the second one has the drawback of not beeing persistent
when bios are queued up, and are not passed along from child to parent
bio in the ever more popular chaining scenario.  Having both mechanisms
available has the additional drawback of utterly confusing driver authors
and introducing bugs where various I/O submitters only deal with one of
them, and the others have to add boilerplate code to deal with both kinds
of error returns.

So add a new bi_error field to store an errno value directly in struct
bio and remove the existing mechanisms to clean all this up.

Martin K. Petersen f3f5da624e block: Do a full clone when splitting discard bios
This fixes a data corruption bug when using discard on top of MD linear,
raid0 and raid10 personalities.

Commit 20d0189b10 "block: Introduce new bio_split()" permits sharing
the bio_vec between the two resulting bios. That is fine for read/write
requests where the bio_vec is immutable. For discards, however, we need
to be able to attach a payload and update the bio_vec so the page can
get mapped to a scatterlist entry. Therefore the bio_vec can not be
shared when splitting discards and we must do a full clone.

Currently, a bio can only be associated with the io_context and blkcg
of %current using bio_associate_current().  This is too restrictive
for cgroup writeback support.  Implement bio_associate_blkcg() which
associates a bio with the specified blkcg.

bio_associate_blkcg() leaves the io_context unassociated.

Mike Snitzer 326e1dbb57 block: remove management of bi_remaining when restoring original bi_end_io
Commit c4cf5261 ("bio: skip atomic inc/dec of ->bi_remaining for
non-chains") regressed all existing callers that followed this pattern:
 1) saving a bio's original bi_end_io
 2) wiring up an intermediate bi_end_io
 3) restoring the original bi_end_io from intermediate bi_end_io
 4) calling bio_endio() to execute the restored original bi_end_io

The regression was due to BIO_CHAIN only ever getting set if
bio_inc_remaining() is called.  For the above pattern it isn't set until
step 3 above (step 2 would've needed to establish BIO_CHAIN).  As such
the first bio_endio(), in step 2 above, never decremented __bi_remaining
before calling the intermediate bi_end_io -- leaving __bi_remaining with
the value 1 instead of 0.  When bio_inc_remaining() occurred during step
3 it brought it to a value of 2.  When the second bio_endio() was
called, in step 4 above, it should've called the original bi_end_io but
it didn't because there was an extra reference that wasn't dropped (due
to atomic operations being optimized away since BIO_CHAIN wasn't set
upfront).

Fix this issue by removing the __bi_remaining management complexity for
all callers that use the above pattern -- bio_chain() is the only
interface that _needs_ to be concerned with __bi_remaining.  For the
above pattern callers just expect the bi_end_io they set to get called!
Remove bio_endio_nodec() and also remove all bio_inc_remaining() calls
that aren't associated with the bio_chain() interface.

Also, the bio_inc_remaining() interface has been moved local to bio.c.

Jens Axboe dac56212e8 bio: skip atomic inc/dec of ->bi_cnt for most use cases
Struct bio has a reference count that controls when it can be freed.
Most uses cases is allocating the bio, which then returns with a
single reference to it, doing IO, and then dropping that single
reference. We can remove this atomic_dec_and_test() in the completion
path, if nobody else is holding a reference to the bio.

If someone does call bio_get() on the bio, then we flag the bio as
now having valid count and that we must properly honor the reference
count when it's being put.

Jens Axboe c4cf5261f8 bio: skip atomic inc/dec of ->bi_remaining for non-chains
Struct bio has an atomic ref count for chained bio's, and we use this
to know when to end IO on the bio. However, most bio's are not chained,
so we don't need to always introduce this atomic operation as part of
ending IO.

Add a helper to elevate the bi_remaining count, and flag the bio as
now actually needing the decrement at end_io time. Rename the field
to __bi_remaining to catch any current users of this doing the
incrementing manually.

For high IOPS workloads, this reduces the overhead of bio_endio()
substantially.

Maurizio Lombardi fcbf6a087a bio: modify __bio_add_page() to accept pages that don't start a new segment
The original behaviour is to refuse to add a new page if the maximum
number of segments has been reached, regardless of the fact the page we
are going to add can be merged into the last segment or not.

Unfortunately, when the system runs under heavy memory fragmentation
conditions, a driver may try to add multiple pages to the last segment.
The original code won't accept them and EBUSY will be reported to
userspace.

This patch modifies the function so it refuses to add a page only in case
the latter starts a new segment and the maximum number of segments has
already been reached.

The bug can be easily reproduced with the st driver:

1) set CONFIG_SCSI_MPT2SAS_MAX_SGE or CONFIG_SCSI_MPT3SAS_MAX_SGE  to 16
2) modprobe st buffer_kbs=1024
3) #dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/st0 bs=1M count=10
   dd: error writing `/dev/st0': Device or resource busy

Mikulas Patocka 6a24148361 block: use kmalloc alignment for bio slab
Various subsystems can ask the bio subsystem to create a bio slab cache
with some free space before the bio.  This free space can be used for any
purpose.  Device mapper uses this per-bio-data feature to place some
target-specific and device-mapper specific data before the bio, so that
the target-specific data doesn't have to be allocated separately.

This per-bio-data mechanism is used in place of kmalloc, so we need the
allocated slab to have the same memory alignment as memory allocated
with kmalloc.

Change bio_find_or_create_slab() so that it uses ARCH_KMALLOC_MINALIGN
alignment when creating the slab cache.  This is needed so that dm-crypt
can use per-bio-data for encryption - the crypto subsystem assumes this
data will have the same alignment as kmalloc'ed memory.
