When used on cgroup1, blk-throtl uses the blkg->stat_bytes and

blk-cgroup core is moving away from blkg_rwstat to improve scalability

Currently rq->data_len will be decreased by partial completion or
zeroed by completion, so when blk_stat_add() is invoked, data_len
will be zero and there will never be samples in poll_cb because
blk_mq_poll_stats_bkt() will return -1 if data_len is zero.
We could move blk_stat_add() back to __blk_mq_complete_request(),
but that would make the effort of trying to call ktime_get_ns()
once in vain. Instead we can reuse throtl_size field, and use
it for both block stats and block throttle, and adjust the
logic in blk_mq_poll_stats_bkt() accordingly.

Previously, blkg association was handled by controller specific code in
blk-throttle and blk-iolatency. However, because a blkg represents a
relationship between a blkcg and a request_queue, it makes sense to keep
the blkg->q and bio->bi_disk->queue consistent.
This patch moves association into the bio_set_dev macro(). This should
cover the majority of cases where the device is set/changed keeping the
two pointers consistent. Fallback code is added to

There is a very small change a bio gets caught up in a really

trying to associate with a blkg. This is due to css offlining being

blkgs that reach their blkg->refcnt of 0.
To avoid this, association with a blkg should use tryget and fallback to

Currently io.low uses a bi_cg_private to stash its private data for the
blkg, however other blkcg policies may want to use this as well. Since
we can get the private data out of the blkg, move this to bi_blkg in the
bio and make it generic, then we can use bio_associate_blkg() to attach
the blkg to the bio.
Theoretically we could simply replace the bi_css with this since we can
get to all the same information from the blkg, however you have to
lookup the blkg, so for example wbc_init_bio() would have to lookup and
possibly allocate the blkg for the css it was trying to attach to the
bio. This could be problematic and result in us either not attaching
the css at all to the bio, or falling back to the root blkcg if we are
unable to allocate the corresponding blkg.
So for now do this, and in the future if possible we could just replace
the bi_css with bi_blkg and update the helpers to do the correct
translation.

In mixed read/write workload on SSD, write latency is much lower than
read. But now we only track and record read latency and then use it as
threshold base for both read and write io latency accounting. As a
result, write io latency will always be considered as good and
bad_bio_cnt is much smaller than 20% of bio_cnt. That is to mean, the
tg to be checked will be treated as idle most of the time and still let
others dispatch more ios, even it is truly running under low limit and
wants its low limit to be guaranteed, which is not we expected in fact.
So track read and write request individually, which can bring more
precise latency control for low limit idle detection.

If a bio is throttled and split after throttling, the bio could be
resubmited and enters the throttling again. This will cause part of the
bio to be charged multiple times. If the cgroup has an IO limit, the
double charge will significantly harm the performance. The bio split
becomes quite common after arbitrary bio size change.
To fix this, we always set the BIO_THROTTLED flag if a bio is throttled.
If the bio is cloned/split, we copy the flag to new bio too to avoid a
double charge. However, cloned bio could be directed to a new disk,
keeping the flag be a problem. The observation is we always set new disk
for the bio in this case, so we can clear the flag in bio_set_dev().
This issue exists for a long time, arbitrary bio size change just makes
it worse, so this should go into stable at least since v4.2.

Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which
makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license.
By default all files without license information are under the default
license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2.
Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0'
SPDX license identifier. The SPDX identifier is a legally binding
shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text.
This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and
Philippe Ombredanne.
How this work was done:
Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of
the use cases:
- file had no licensing information it it.
- file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it,
- file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information,
Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases
where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license
had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords.
The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to
a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the
output of two independent scanners (ScanCode & Windriver) producing SPDX
tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne. Philippe prepared the
base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files.
The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files
assessed. Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner
results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s)
to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not
immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.
Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was:
- Files considered eligible had to be source code files.
- Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained >5
lines of source
- File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if <5
lines).
All documentation files were explicitly excluded.
The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license
identifiers to apply.
- when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was
considered to have no license information in it, and the top level
COPYING file license applied.
For non */uapi/* files that summary was:
SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|-------
GPL-2.0 11139
and resulted in the first patch in this series.
If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH
Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0". Results of that was:
SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|-------
GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 930
and resulted in the second patch in this series.
- if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one
of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if
any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in
it (per prior point). Results summary:
SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|------
GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 270
GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 169
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause) 21
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 17
LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 15
GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 14
((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 5
LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 4
LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note 3
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT) 3
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT) 1
and that resulted in the third patch in this series.
- when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became
the concluded license(s).
- when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a
license but the other didn't, or they both detected different
licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred.
- In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file
resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and
which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics).
- When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was
confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.
- If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier,
the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later
in time.
In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the
spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the
source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation
by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.
Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from
FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners
disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights. The
Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so
they are related.
Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets
for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the
files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks
in about 15000 files.
In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have
copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the
correct identifier.
Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual
inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch
version early this week with:
- a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected
license ids and scores
- reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+
files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct
- reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license
was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied
SPDX license was correct
This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction. This
worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the
different types of files to be modified.
These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg. Thomas wrote a script to
parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the
format that the file expected. This script was further refined by Greg
based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to
distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different
comment types.) Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to
generate the patches.

Writeback kworker submit the bio and set bio->bi_cg_private to tg
in blk_throtl_assoc_bio.
Then we remove the block cgroup manually, the blkg and tg would be
freed if there is no request inflight.
When the submitted bio come back, blk_throtl_bio_endio() fetch the tg
which was already freed.

8) throtl_pending_timer_fn sees the left over bios, but could do
nothing, because throtl_select_dispatch returns 0, and test1/test2 has
no pending tg.
The blktrace shows the following:
8,32 0 0 2.539007641 0 m N throtl upgrade to max
8,32 0 0 2.539072267 0 m N throtl /test2 dispatch nr_queued=16 read=0 write=16
8,32 7 0 2.539077142 0 m N throtl /test1 dispatch nr_queued=16 read=0 write=16
So force schedule dispatch if there are pending children.

discard request usually is very big and easily use all bandwidth budget
of a cgroup. discard request size doesn't really mean the size of data
written, so it doesn't make sense to account it into bandwidth budget.
Jens pointed out treating the size 0 doesn't make sense too, because
discard request does have cost. But it's not easy to find the actual
cost. This patch simply makes the size one sector.

Currently cfq/bfq/blk-throttle output cgroup info in trace in their own
way. Now we have standard blktrace API for this, so convert them to use
it.
Note, this changes the behavior a little bit. cgroup info isn't output
by default, we only do this with 'blk_cgroup' option enabled. cgroup
info isn't output as a string by default too, we only do this with
'blk_cgname' option enabled. Also cgroup info is output in different
position of the note string. I think these behavior changes aren't a big
issue (actually we make trace data shorter which is good), since the
blktrace note is solely for debugging.

blkcg_bio_issue_check() already gets blkcg for a BIO.
bio_associate_blkcg() uses a percpu refcounter, so it's a very cheap
operation. There is no point we don't attach the cgroup info into bio at
blkcg_bio_issue_check. This also makes blktrace outputs correct cgroup
info.

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.

I have encountered a NULL pointer dereference in
throtl_schedule_pending_timer:
[ 413.735396] BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000038
[ 413.735535] IP: [<ffffffff812ebbbf>] throtl_schedule_pending_timer+0x3f/0x210

[ 413.735713] Oops: 0000 [#1] SMP
......
This is caused by the following case:
blk_throtl_bio
throtl_schedule_next_dispatch <= sq is top level one without parent
throtl_schedule_pending_timer
sq_to_tg(sq)->td->throtl_slice <= sq_to_tg(sq) returns NULL
Fix it by using sq_to_td instead of sq_to_tg(sq)->td, which will always
return a valid td.

Default value of io.low limit is 0. If user doesn't configure the limit,
last patch makes cgroup be throttled to very tiny bps/iops, which could
stall the system. A cgroup with default settings of io.low limit really
means nothing, so we force user to configure all settings, otherwise
io.low limit doesn't take effect. With this stragety, default setting of
latency/idle isn't important, so just set them to very conservative and
safe value.

If a cgroup with low limit 0 for both bps/iops, the cgroup's low limit
is ignored and we throttle the cgroup with its max limit. In this way,
other cgroups with a low limit will not get protected. To fix this, we
don't do the exception any more. cgroup will be throttled to a limit 0
if it uese default setting. To avoid completed stall, we give such
cgroup tiny IO resources.

For idle time, children's setting should not be bigger than parent's.
For latency target, children's setting should not be smaller than
parent's. The leaf nodes will adjust their settings according to the
hierarchy and compare their IO with the settings and do
upgrade/downgrade. parents nodes don't need to track their IO
latency/idle time.

since we only assign 'ret' if BLK_DEV_THROTTLING_LOW is off, we never

One hard problem adding .low limit is to detect idle cgroup. If one
cgroup doesn't dispatch enough IO against its low limit, we must have a
mechanism to determine if other cgroups dispatch more IO. We added the
think time detection mechanism before, but it doesn't work for all
workloads. Here we add a latency based approach.
We already have mechanism to calculate latency threshold for each IO
size. For every IO dispatched from a cgorup, we compare its latency
against its threshold and record the info. If most IO latency is below
threshold (in the code I use 75%), the cgroup could be treated idle and
other cgroups can dispatch more IO.
Currently this latency target check is only for SSD as we can't
calcualte the latency target for hard disk. And this is only for cgroup
leaf node so far.
