Suren Baghdasaryan fbc7c07ec2 dm bufio: fix shrinker scans when (nr_to_scan < retain_target)
When system is under memory pressure it is observed that dm bufio
shrinker often reclaims only one buffer per scan. This change fixes
the following two issues in dm bufio shrinker that cause this behavior:

1. ((nr_to_scan - freed) <= retain_target) condition is used to
terminate slab scan process. This assumes that nr_to_scan is equal
to the LRU size, which might not be correct because do_shrink_slab()
in vmscan.c calculates nr_to_scan using multiple inputs.
As a result when nr_to_scan is less than retain_target (64) the scan
will terminate after the first iteration, effectively reclaiming one
buffer per scan and making scans very inefficient. This hurts vmscan
performance especially because mutex is acquired/released every time
dm_bufio_shrink_scan() is called.
New implementation uses ((LRU size - freed) <= retain_target)
condition for scan termination. LRU size can be safely determined
inside __scan() because this function is called after dm_bufio_lock().

2. do_shrink_slab() uses value returned by dm_bufio_shrink_count() to
determine number of freeable objects in the slab. However dm_bufio
always retains retain_target buffers in its LRU and will terminate
a scan when this mark is reached. Therefore returning the entire LRU size
from dm_bufio_shrink_count() is misleading because that does not
represent the number of freeable objects that slab will reclaim during
a scan. Returning (LRU size - retain_target) better represents the
number of freeable objects in the slab. This way do_shrink_slab()
returns 0 when (LRU size < retain_target) and vmscan will not try to
scan this shrinker avoiding scans that will not reclaim any memory.

Test: tested using Android device running
<AOSP>/system/extras/alloc-stress that generates memory pressure
and causes intensive shrinker scans

Eric Biggers 74d4108d9e dm bufio: fix integer overflow when limiting maximum cache size
The default max_cache_size_bytes for dm-bufio is meant to be the lesser
of 25% of the size of the vmalloc area and 2% of the size of lowmem.
However, on 32-bit systems the intermediate result in the expression

    (VMALLOC_END - VMALLOC_START) * DM_BUFIO_VMALLOC_PERCENT / 100

overflows, causing the wrong result to be computed.  For example, on a
32-bit system where the vmalloc area is 520093696 bytes, the result is
1174405 rather than the expected 130023424, which makes the maximum
cache size much too small (far less than 2% of lowmem).  This causes
severe performance problems for dm-verity users on affected systems.

Fix this by using mult_frac() to correctly multiply by a percentage.  Do
this for all places in dm-bufio that multiply by a percentage.  Also
replace (VMALLOC_END - VMALLOC_START) with VMALLOC_TOTAL, which contrary
to the comment is now defined in include/linux/vmalloc.h.

Mark Rutland 6aa7de0591 locking/atomics: COCCINELLE/treewide: Convert trivial ACCESS_ONCE() patterns to READ_ONCE()/WRITE_ONCE()
Please do not apply this to mainline directly, instead please re-run the
coccinelle script shown below and apply its output.

For several reasons, it is desirable to use {READ,WRITE}_ONCE() in
preference to ACCESS_ONCE(), and new code is expected to use one of the
former. So far, there's been no reason to change most existing uses of
ACCESS_ONCE(), as these aren't harmful, and changing them results in
churn.

However, for some features, the read/write distinction is critical to
correct operation. To distinguish these cases, separate read/write
accessors must be used. This patch migrates (most) remaining
ACCESS_ONCE() instances to {READ,WRITE}_ONCE(), using the following
coccinelle script:

----
// Convert trivial ACCESS_ONCE() uses to equivalent READ_ONCE() and
// WRITE_ONCE()

// $ make coccicheck COCCI=/home/mark/once.cocci SPFLAGS="--include-headers" MODE=patch

Christoph Hellwig 74d46992e0 block: replace bi_bdev with a gendisk pointer and partitions index
This way we don't need a block_device structure to submit I/O.  The
block_device has different life time rules from the gendisk and
request_queue and is usually only available when the block device node
is open.  Other callers need to explicitly create one (e.g. the lightnvm
passthrough code, or the new nvme multipathing code).

For the actual I/O path all that we need is the gendisk, which exists
once per block device.  But given that the block layer also does
partition remapping we additionally need a partition index, which is
used for said remapping in generic_make_request.

Note that all the block drivers generally want request_queue or
sometimes the gendisk, so this removes a layer of indirection all
over the stack.

Commit b685d3d65a ("block: treat REQ_FUA and REQ_PREFLUSH as
synchronous") removed REQ_SYNC flag from WRITE_{FUA|PREFLUSH|...}
definitions.  generic_make_request_checks() however strips REQ_FUA and
REQ_PREFLUSH flags from a bio when the storage doesn't report volatile
write cache and thus write effectively becomes asynchronous which can
lead to performance regressions.

Fix the problem by making sure all bios which are synchronous are
properly marked with REQ_SYNC.

Mikulas Patocka 13840d3801 dm bufio: make the parameter "retain_bytes" unsigned long
Change the type of the parameter "retain_bytes" from unsigned to
unsigned long, so that on 64-bit machines the user can set more than
4GiB of data to be retained.

Also, change the type of the variable "count" in the function
"__evict_old_buffers" to unsigned long.  The assignment
"count = c->n_buffers[LIST_CLEAN] + c->n_buffers[LIST_DIRTY];"
could result in unsigned long to unsigned overflow and that could result
in buffers not being freed when they should.

While at it, avoid division in get_retain_buffers().  Division is slow,
we can change it to shift because we have precalculated the log2 of
block size.

Michal Hocko 19809c2da2 mm, vmalloc: use __GFP_HIGHMEM implicitly
__vmalloc* allows users to provide gfp flags for the underlying
allocation.  This API is quite popular

  $ git grep "=[[:space:]]__vmalloc\|return[[:space:]]*__vmalloc" | wc -l
  77

The only problem is that many people are not aware that they really want
to give __GFP_HIGHMEM along with other flags because there is really no
reason to consume precious lowmemory on CONFIG_HIGHMEM systems for pages
which are mapped to the kernel vmalloc space.  About half of users don't
use this flag, though.  This signals that we make the API unnecessarily
too complex.

This patch simply uses __GFP_HIGHMEM implicitly when allocating pages to
be mapped to the vmalloc space.  Current users which add __GFP_HIGHMEM
are simplified and drop the flag.

Mikulas Patocka 390020ad2a dm bufio: check new buffer allocation watermark every 30 seconds
dm-bufio checks a watermark when it allocates a new buffer in
__bufio_new().  However, it doesn't check the watermark when the user
changes /sys/module/dm_bufio/parameters/max_cache_size_bytes.

This may result in a problem - if the watermark is high enough so that
all possible buffers are allocated and if the user lowers the value of
"max_cache_size_bytes", the watermark will never be checked against the
new value because no new buffer would be allocated.

To fix this, change __evict_old_buffers() so that it checks the
watermark.  __evict_old_buffers() is called every 30 seconds, so if the
user reduces "max_cache_size_bytes", dm-bufio will react to this change
within 30 seconds and decrease memory consumption.

Mikulas Patocka 1b0fb5a5b2 dm bufio: avoid a possible ABBA deadlock
__get_memory_limit() tests if dm_bufio_cache_size changed and calls
__cache_size_refresh() if it did.  It takes dm_bufio_clients_lock while
it already holds the client lock.  However, lock ordering is violated
because in cleanup_old_buffers() dm_bufio_clients_lock is taken before
the client lock.

This results in a possible deadlock and lockdep engine warning.

Fix this deadlock by changing mutex_lock() to mutex_trylock().  If the
lock can't be taken, it will be re-checked next time when a new buffer
is allocated.

Also add "unlikely" to the if condition, so that the optimizer assumes
that the condition is false.

Davidlohr Bueso 642fa448ae sched/core: Remove set_task_state()
This is a nasty interface and setting the state of a foreign task must
not be done. As of the following commit:

  be628be095 ("bcache: Make gc wakeup sane, remove set_task_state()")

... everyone in the kernel calls set_task_state() with current, allowing
the helper to be removed.

However, as the comment indicates, it is still around for those archs
where computing current is more expensive than using a pointer, at least
in theory. An important arch that is affected is arm64, however this has
been addressed now [1] and performance is up to par making no difference
with either calls.

Of all the callers, if any, it's the locking bits that would care most
about this -- ie: we end up passing a tsk pointer to a lot of the lock
slowpath, and setting ->state on that. The following numbers are based
on two tests: a custom ad-hoc microbenchmark that just measures
latencies (for ~65 million calls) between get_task_state() vs
get_current_state().

Secondly for a higher overview, an unlink microbenchmark was used,
which pounds on a single file with open, close,unlink combos with
increasing thread counts (up to 4x ncpus). While the workload is quite
unrealistic, it does contend a lot on the inode mutex or now rwsem.

x86-64 (known to be fast for get_current()/this_cpu_read_stable() caching)
and ppc64 (with paca) show similar improvements in the unlink microbenches.
The small delta for ppc64 (2ms), does not represent the gains on the unlink
runs. In the case of x86, there was a decent amount of variation in the
latency runs, but always within a 20 to 50ms increase), ppc was more constant.

Mikulas Patocka 41c73a49df dm bufio: drop the lock when doing GFP_NOIO allocation
If the first allocation attempt using GFP_NOWAIT fails, drop the lock
and retry using GFP_NOIO allocation (lock is dropped because the
allocation can take some time).

Note that we won't do GFP_NOIO allocation when we loop for the second
time, because the lock shouldn't be dropped between __wait_for_free_buffer
and __get_unclaimed_buffer.

Douglas Anderson 9ea61cac0b dm bufio: avoid sleeping while holding the dm_bufio lock
We've seen in-field reports showing _lots_ (18 in one case, 41 in
another) of tasks all sitting there blocked on:

  mutex_lock+0x4c/0x68
  dm_bufio_shrink_count+0x38/0x78
  shrink_slab.part.54.constprop.65+0x100/0x464
  shrink_zone+0xa8/0x198

In the two cases analyzed, we see one task that looks like this:

  Workqueue: kverityd verity_prefetch_io

  __switch_to+0x9c/0xa8
  __schedule+0x440/0x6d8
  schedule+0x94/0xb4
  schedule_timeout+0x204/0x27c

  process_one_work+0x240/0x424
  worker_thread+0x2fc/0x424
  kthread+0x10c/0x114

...and that looks to be the one holding the mutex.

The problem has been reproduced on fairly easily:
0. Be running Chrome OS w/ verity enabled on the root filesystem
1. Pick test patch: http://crosreview.com/412360
2. Install launchBalloons.sh and balloon.arm from
     http://crbug.com/468342
   ...that's just a memory stress test app.
3. On a 4GB rk3399 machine, run
     nice ./launchBalloons.sh 4 900 100000
   ...that tries to eat 4 * 900 MB of memory and keep accessing.
4. Login to the Chrome web browser and restore many tabs

With that, I've seen printouts like:
  DOUG: long bufio 90758 ms
...and stack trace always show's we're in dm_bufio_prefetch().

The problem is that we try to allocate memory with GFP_NOIO while
we're holding the dm_bufio lock.  Instead we should be using
GFP_NOWAIT.  Using GFP_NOIO can cause us to sleep while holding the
lock and that causes the above problems.

The current behavior explained by David Rientjes:

  It will still try reclaim initially because __GFP_WAIT (or
  __GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM) is set by GFP_NOIO.  This is the cause of
  contention on dm_bufio_lock() that the thread holds.  You want to
  pass GFP_NOWAIT instead of GFP_NOIO to alloc_buffer() when holding a
  mutex that can be contended by a concurrent slab shrinker (if
  count_objects didn't use a trylock, this pattern would trivially
  deadlock).

This change significantly increases responsiveness of the system while
in this state.  It makes a real difference because it unblocks kswapd.
In the bug report analyzed, kswapd was hung:

   kswapd0         D ffffffc000204fd8     0    72      2 0x00000000

By unblocking kswapd memory pressure should be reduced.

After converting to this usage, it will becomes a bit easier

The WQ_MEM_RECLAIM flag has been set since DM requires forward progress

 "All kinds of stuff.  That probably should've been 5 or 6 separate
  branches, but by the time I'd realized how large and mixed that bag
  had become it had been too close to -final to play with rebasing.

  Some fs/namei.c cleanups there, memdup_user_nul() introduction and
  switching open-coded instances, burying long-dead code, whack-a-mole
  of various kinds, several new helpers for ->llseek(), assorted
  cleanups and fixes from various people, etc.

  One piece probably deserves special mention - Neil's
  lookup_one_len_unlocked().  Similar to lookup_one_len(), but gets
  called without ->i_mutex and tries to avoid ever taking it.  That, of
  course, means that it's not useful for any directory modifications,
  but things like getting inode attributes in nfds readdirplus are fine
  with that.  I really should've asked for moratorium on lookup-related
  changes this cycle, but since I hadn't done that early enough...  I
  *am* asking for that for the coming cycle, though - I'm going to try
  and get conversion of i_mutex to rwsem with ->lookup() done under lock
  taken shared.

  There will be a patch closer to the end of the window, along the lines
  of the one Linus had posted last May - mechanical conversion of
  ->i_mutex accesses to inode_lock()/inode_unlock()/inode_trylock()/
  inode_is_locked()/inode_lock_nested().  To quote Linus back then:

    -----
    |    This is an automated patch using
    |

    |        sed 's/mutex_trylock(&\(.*\)->i_mutex)/inode_trylock(\1)/'
    |
    |    with a very few manual fixups

  I'm going to send that once the ->i_mutex-affecting stuff in -next
  gets mostly merged (or when Linus says he's about to stop taking
  merges)"

Mikulas Patocka 86bad0c707 dm bufio: store stacktrace in buffers to help find buffer leaks
The option DM_DEBUG_BLOCK_STACK_TRACING is moved from persistent-data
directory to device mapper directory because it will now be used by
persistent-data and bufio.  When the option is enabled, each bufio buffer
stores the stacktrace of the last dm_bufio_get(), dm_bufio_read() or
dm_bufio_new() call that increased the hold count to 1.  The buffer's
stacktrace is printed if the buffer was not released before the bufio
client is destroyed.

When DM_DEBUG_BLOCK_STACK_TRACING is enabled, any bufio buffer leaks are
considered warnings - i.e. the kernel continues afterwards.  If not
enabled, buffer leaks are considered BUGs and the kernel with crash.
Reasoning on this disposition is: if we only ever warned on buffer leaks

Mikulas Patocka f98c8f7970 dm bufio: return NULL to improve code clarity
A small code cleanup in new_read() - return NULL instead of b (although
b is NULL at this point).  This function is not returning pointer to the
buffer, it is returning a pointer to the bufffer's data, thus it makes
no sense to return the variable b.

ffs counts bit starting with 1 (for the least significant bit), __ffs
counts bits starting with 0. This patch changes various occurrences of ffs
to __ffs and removes subtraction of 1 from the result.

Note that __ffs (unlike ffs) is not defined when called with zero
argument, but it is not called with zero argument in any of these cases.

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.

Darrick J. Wong 445559cdcb dm bufio: fix memleak when using a dm_buffer's inline bio
When dm-bufio sets out to use the bio built into a struct dm_buffer to
issue an IO, it needs to call bio_reset after it's done with the bio
so that we can free things attached to the bio such as the integrity
payload.  Therefore, inject our own endio callback to take care of
the bio_reset after calling submit_io's end_io callback.

Test case:
1. modprobe scsi_debug delay=0 dif=1 dix=199 ato=1 dev_size_mb=300
2. Set up a dm-bufio client, e.g. dm-verity, on the scsi_debug device
3. Repeatedly read metadata and watch kmalloc-192 leak!

Joe Thornber 33096a7822 dm bufio: evict buffers that are past the max age but retain some buffers
These changes help keep metadata backed by dm-bufio in-core longer which
fixes reports of metadata churn in the face of heavy random IO workloads.

Before, bufio evicted all buffers older than DM_BUFIO_DEFAULT_AGE_SECS.
Having a device (e.g. dm-thinp or dm-cache) lose all metadata just
because associated buffers had been idle for some time is unfriendly.

Now, the user may now configure the number of bytes that bufio retains
using the 'retain_bytes' module parameter.  The default is 256K.

Also, the DM_BUFIO_WORK_TIMER_SECS and DM_BUFIO_DEFAULT_AGE_SECS
defaults were quite low so increase them (to 30 and 300 respectively).

Mikulas Patocka 9d28eb1244 dm bufio: change __GFP_IO to __GFP_FS in shrinker callbacks
The shrinker uses gfp flags to indicate what kind of operation can the
driver wait for. If __GFP_IO flag is present, the driver can wait for
block I/O operations, if __GFP_FS flag is present, the driver can wait on
operations involving the filesystem.

dm-bufio tested for __GFP_IO. However, dm-bufio can run on a loop block
device that makes calls into the filesystem. If __GFP_IO is present and
__GFP_FS isn't, dm-bufio could still block on filesystem operations if it
runs on a loop block device.

The change from __GFP_IO to __GFP_FS supposedly fixes one observed (though
unreproducible) deadlock involving dm-bufio and loop device.

Mikulas Patocka 0e825862f3 dm bufio: when done scanning return from __scan immediately
When __scan frees the required number of buffer entries that the
shrinker requested (nr_to_scan becomes zero) it must return.  Before
this fix the __scan code exited only the inner loop and continued in the
outer loop -- which could result in reduced performance due to extra
buffers being freed (e.g. unnecessarily evicted thinp metadata needing
to be synchronously re-read into bufio's cache).

Also, move dm_bufio_cond_resched to __scan's inner loop, so that
iterating the bufio client's lru lists doesn't result in scheduling
latency.

Joe Thornber eb76faf53b dm bufio: update last_accessed when relinking a buffer
The 'last_accessed' member of the dm_buffer structure was only set when
the the buffer was created.  This led to each buffer being discarded
after dm_bufio_max_age time even if it was used recently.  In practice
this resulted in all thinp metadata being evicted soon after being read
-- this is particularly problematic for metadata intensive workloads
like multithreaded small random IO.

'last_accessed' is now updated each time the buffer is moved to the head
of the LRU list, so the buffer is now properly discarded if it was not
used in dm_bufio_max_age time.

Greg Thelen d8c712ea47 dm bufio: fully initialize shrinker
1d3d4437ea ("vmscan: per-node deferred work") added a flags field to
struct shrinker assuming that all shrinkers were zero filled.  The dm
bufio shrinker is not zero filled, which leaves arbitrary kmalloc() data
in flags.  So far the only defined flags bit is SHRINKER_NUMA_AWARE.
But there are proposed patches which add other bits to shrinker.flags
(e.g. memcg awareness).

Rather than simply initializing the shrinker, this patch uses kzalloc()
when allocating the dm_bufio_client to ensure that the embedded shrinker
and any other similar structures are zeroed.

This fixes theoretical over aggressive shrinking of dm bufio objects.
If the uninitialized dm_bufio_client.shrinker.flags contains
SHRINKER_NUMA_AWARE then shrink_slab() would call the dm shrinker for
each numa node rather than just once.  This has been broken since 3.12.
