To simplify block device lookup and a few other upcoming areas, make sure
that we always have a struct block_device available for each disk and
each partition, and only find existing block devices in bdget. The only
downside of this is that each device and partition uses a little more
memory. The upside will be that a lot of code can be simplified.
With that all we need to look up the block device is to lookup the inode
and do a few sanity checks on the gendisk, instead of the separate lookup
for the gendisk. For blk-cgroup which wants to access a gendisk without
opening it, a new blkdev_{get,put}_no_open low-level interface is added
to replace the previous get_gendisk use.
Note that the change to look up block device directly instead of the two
step lookup using struct gendisk causes a subtile change in behavior:
accessing a non-existing partition on an existing block device can now
cause a call to request_module. That call is harmless, and in practice
no recent system will access these nodes as they aren't created by udev
and static /dev/ setups are unusual.

Similarly to commit 457e490f2b ("blkcg: allocate struct blkcg_gq
outside request queue spinlock"), blkg_create can also trigger
occasional -ENOMEM failures at the radix insertion because any
allocation inside blkg_create has to be non-blocking, making it more
likely to fail. This causes trouble for userspace tools trying to
configure io weights who need to deal with this condition.
This patch reduces the occurrence of -ENOMEMs on this path by preloading
the radix tree element on a GFP_KERNEL context, such that we guarantee
the later non-blocking insertion won't fail.
A similar solution exists in blkcg_init_queue for the same situation.

The test and the explaination of the patch as bellow.
Before test we added more debug code in blkg_async_bio_workfn():
int count = 0
if (bios.head && bios.head->bi_next) {
need_plug = true;
blk_start_plug(&plug);
}
while ((bio = bio_list_pop(&bios))) {
/*io_punt is a sysctl user interface to control the print*/
if(io_punt) {
printk("[%s:%d] bio start,size:%llu,%d count=%d plug?%d\n",
current->comm, current->pid, bio->bi_iter.bi_sector,
(bio->bi_iter.bi_size)>>9, count++, need_plug);
}
submit_bio(bio);
}
if (need_plug)
blk_finish_plug(&plug);
Steps that need to be set to trigger *PUNT* io before testing:
mount -t btrfs -o compress=lzo /dev/sda6 /btrfs
mount -t cgroup2 nodev /cgroup2
mkdir /cgroup2/cg3
echo "+io" > /cgroup2/cgroup.subtree_control
echo "8:0 wbps=1048576000" > /cgroup2/cg3/io.max #1000M/s
echo $$ > /cgroup2/cg3/cgroup.procs
Then use dd command to test btrfs PUNT io in current shell:
dd if=/dev/zero of=/btrfs/file bs=64K count=100000

Analysis of above 3 test results with different system load:
>From above test, we can see more and more continuous bios can be plugged
with system load increasing. When run "stress -c 64 &", 310 continuous
bios are plugged; When run "stress -c 32 &", 260 continuous bios are
plugged; When don't run stress, at most only 2 continuous bios are
plugged, in most cases, bio_list only contains one single bio.
How to explain above phenomenon:
We know, in submit_bio(), if the bio is a REQ_CGROUP_PUNT io, it will
queue a work to workqueue blkcg_punt_bio_wq. But when the workqueue is
scheduled, it depends on the system load. When system load is low, the
workqueue will be quickly scheduled, and the bio in bio_list will be
quickly processed in blkg_async_bio_workfn(), so there is less chance
that the same io submit thread can add multiple continuous bios to
bio_list before workqueue is scheduled to run. The analysis aligned with
above test "3".
When system load is high, there is some delay before the workqueue can
be scheduled to run, the higher the system load the greater the delay.
So there is more chance that the same io submit thread can add multiple
continuous bios to bio_list. Then when the workqueue is scheduled to run,
there are more continuous bios in bio_list, which will be processed in
blkg_async_bio_workfn(). The analysis aligned with above test "1" and "2".
According to test, we can get io performance improved with the patch,
especially when system load is higher. Another optimazition is to use
the plug only when bio_list contains at least 2 bios.

Curently, iocost syncs the delay duration to the outstanding debt amount,
which seemed enough to protect the system from anon memory hogs. However,
that was mostly because the delay calcuation was using hweight_inuse which
quickly converges towards zero under debt for delay duration calculation,
often pusnishing debtors overly harshly for longer than deserved.
The previous patch fixed the delay calcuation and now the protection against
anonymous memory hogs isn't enough because the effect of delay is indirect
and non-linear and a huge amount of future debt can accumulate abruptly
while unthrottled.
This patch implements delay hysteresis so that delay is decayed
exponentially over time instead of getting cleared immediately as debt is
paid off. While the overall behavior is similar to the blk-cgroup
implementation used by blk-iolatency, a lot of the details are different and
due to the empirical nature of the mechanism, it's challenging to adapt the
mechanism for one controller without negatively impacting the other.
As the delay is gradually decayed now, there's no point in running it from
its own hrtimer. Periodic updates are now performed from ioc_timer_fn() and
the dedicated hrtimer is removed.

In order to improve consistency and usability in cgroup stat accounting,
we would like to support the root cgroup's io.stat.
Since the root cgroup has processes doing io even if the system has no
explicitly created cgroups, we need to be careful to avoid overhead in
that case. For that reason, the rstat algorithms don't handle the root
cgroup, so just turning the file on wouldn't give correct statistics.
To get around this, we simulate flushing the iostat struct by filling it
out directly from global disk stats. The result is a root cgroup io.stat
file consistent with both /proc/diskstats and io.stat.
Note that in order to collect the disk stats, we needed to iterate over
devices. To facilitate that, we had to change the linkage of a disk_type
to external so that it can be used from blk-cgroup.c to iterate over
disks.

The use_delay mechanism was introduced by blk-iolatency to hold memory
allocators accountable for the reclaim and other shared IOs they cause. The
duration of the delay is dynamically balanced between iolatency increasing the
value on each target miss and it auto-decaying as time passes and threads get
delayed on it.
While this works well for iolatency, iocost's control model isn't compatible
with it. There is no repeated "violation" events which can be balanced against
auto-decaying. iocost instead knows how much a given cgroup is over budget and
wants to prevent that cgroup from issuing IOs while over budget. Until now,
iocost has been adding the cost of force-issued IOs. However, this doesn't
reflect the amount which is already over budget and is simply not enough to
counter the auto-decaying allowing anon-memory leaking low priority cgroup to
go over its alloted share of IOs.
As auto-decaying doesn't make much sense for iocost, this patch introduces a
different mode of operation for use_delay - when blkcg_set_delay() are used
insted of blkcg_add/use_delay(), the delay duration is not auto-decayed until it
is explicitly cleared with blkcg_clear_delay(). iocost is updated to keep the
delay duration synchronized to the budget overage amount.
With this change, iocost can effectively police cgroups which generate
significant amount of force-issued IOs.

blk-cgroup has been using blkg_rwstat to track basic IO stats.
Unfortunately, reading recursive stats scales badly as itinvolves
walking all descendants. On systems with a huge number of cgroups
(dead or alive), this can lead to substantial CPU cost when reading IO
stats.
This patch reimplements basic IO stats using cgroup rstat which uses
more memory but makes recursive stat reading O(# descendants which
have been active since last reading) instead of O(# descendants).
* blk-cgroup core no longer uses sync/async stats. Introduce new stat
enums - BLKG_IOSTAT_{READ|WRITE|DISCARD}.
* Add blkg_iostat[_set] which encapsulates byte and io stats, last
values for propagation delta calculation and u64_stats_sync for
correctness on 32bit archs.
* Update the new percpu stat counters directly and implement
blkcg_rstat_flush() to implement propagation.
* blkg_print_stat() can now bring the stats up to date by calling
cgroup_rstat_flush() and print them instead of directly summing up
all descendants.
* It now allocates 96 bytes per cpu. It used to be 40 bytes.

blkcg_print_stat() iterates blkgs under RCU and doesn't test whether
the blkg is online. This can call into pd_stat_fn() on a pd which is
still being initialized leading to an oops.
The heaviest operation - recursively summing up rwstat counters - is
already done while holding the queue_lock. Expand queue_lock to cover
the other operations and skip the blkg if it isn't online yet. The
online state is protected by both blkcg and queue locks, so this
guarantees that only online blkgs are processed.

array at the end based on the blkcg's nesting level.
* Each pd is initialized as they get allocated. If alloc fails, the
policy will get freed with pd's initialized on it.
* After the above partial failure, the partial pds are not freed.
This patch fixes all the above issues by
* Restructuring blkcg_activate_policy() so that alloc and init passes
are separate. Init takes place only after all allocs succeeded and
on failure all allocated pds are freed.
* Unifying and fixing the cleanup of the remaining pd_prealloc.

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.

Currently, blkcg destruction relies on a sequence of events:
1. Destruction starts. blkcg_css_offline() is called and blkgs
release their reference to the blkcg. This immediately destroys
the cgwbs (writeback).
2. With blkgs giving up their reference, the blkcg ref count should
become zero and eventually call blkcg_css_free() which finally
frees the blkcg.
Jiufei Xue reported that there is a race between blkcg_bio_issue_check()
and cgroup_rmdir(). To remedy this, blkg destruction becomes contingent
on the completion of all writeback associated with the blkcg. A count of
the number of cgwbs is maintained and once that goes to zero, blkg
destruction can follow. This should prevent premature blkg destruction
related to writeback.
The new process for blkcg cleanup is as follows:
1. Destruction starts. blkcg_css_offline() is called which offlines
writeback. Blkg destruction is delayed on the cgwb_refcnt count to
avoid punting potentially large amounts of outstanding writeback
to root while maintaining any ongoing policies. Here, the base
cgwb_refcnt is put back.
2. When the cgwb_refcnt becomes zero, blkcg_destroy_blkgs() is called
and handles destruction of blkgs. This is where the css reference
held by each blkg is released.
3. Once the blkcg ref count goes to zero, blkcg_css_free() is called.
This finally frees the blkg.
It seems in the past blk-throttle didn't do the most understandable
things with taking data from a blkg while associating with current. So,
the simplification and unification of what blk-throttle is doing caused
this.

This reverts commit 4c6994806f.
Destroying blkgs is tricky because of the nature of the relationship. A
blkg should go away when either a blkcg or a request_queue goes away.
However, blkg's pin the blkcg to ensure they remain valid. To break this
cycle, when a blkcg is offlined, blkgs put back their css ref. This
eventually lets css_free() get called which frees the blkcg.
The above commit (4c6994806f) breaks this order of events by trying to
destroy blkgs in css_free(). As the blkgs still hold references to the
blkcg, css_free() is never called.
The race between blkcg_bio_issue_check() and cgroup_rmdir() will be
addressed in the following patch by delaying destruction of a blkg until
all writeback associated with the blkcg has been finished.

Current IO controllers for the block layer are less than ideal for our
use case. The io.max controller is great at hard limiting, but it is
not work conserving. This patch introduces io.latency. You provide a
latency target for your group and we monitor the io in short windows to
make sure we are not exceeding those latency targets. This makes use of
the rq-qos infrastructure and works much like the wbt stuff. There are
a few differences from wbt
- It's bio based, so the latency covers the whole block layer in addition to
the actual io.
- We will throttle all IO types that comes in here if we need to.
- We use the mean latency over the 100ms window. This is because writes can
be particularly fast, which could give us a false sense of the impact of
other workloads on our protected workload.
- By default there's no throttling, we set the queue_depth to INT_MAX so that
we can have as many outstanding bio's as we're allowed to. Only at
throttle time do we pay attention to the actual queue depth.
- We backcharge cgroups for root cg issued IO and induce artificial
delays in order to deal with cases like metadata only or swap heavy
workloads.
In testing this has worked out relatively well. Protected workloads
will throttle noisy workloads down to 1 io at time if they are doing
normal IO on their own, or induce up to a 1 second delay per syscall if
they are doing a lot of root issued IO (metadata/swap IO).
Our testing has revolved mostly around our production web servers where
we have hhvm (the web server application) in a protected group and
everything else in another group. We see slightly higher requests per
second (RPS) on the test tier vs the control tier, and much more stable
RPS across all machines in the test tier vs the control tier.
Another test we run is a slow memory allocator in the unprotected group.
Before this would eventually push us into swap and cause the whole box
to die and not recover at all. With these patches we see slight RPS
drops (usually 10-15%) before the memory consumer is properly killed and
things recover within seconds.

Since IO can be issued from literally anywhere it's almost impossible to
do throttling without having some sort of adverse effect somewhere else
in the system because of locking or other dependencies. The best way to
solve this is to do the throttling when we know we aren't holding any
other kernel resources. Do this by tracking throttling in a per-blkg
basis, and if we require throttling flag the task that it needs to check
before it returns to user space and possibly sleep there.
This is to address the case where a process is doing work that is
generating IO that can't be throttled, whether that is directly with a
lot of REQ_META IO, or indirectly by allocating so much memory that it
is swamping the disk with REQ_SWAP. We can't use task_add_work as we
don't want to induce a memory allocation in the IO path, so simply
saving the request queue in the task and flagging it to do the
notify_resume thing achieves the same result without the overhead of a
memory allocation.

blk-iolatency has a few stats that it would like to print out, and
instead of adding a bunch of crap to the generic code just provide a
helper so that controllers can add stuff to the stat line if they want
to.
Hide it behind a boot option since it changes the output of io.stat from
normal, and these stats are only interesting to developers.

The initializing of q->root_blkg is currently outside of queue lock
and rcu, so the blkg may be destroied before the initializing, which
may cause dangling/null references. On the other side, the destroys
of blkg are protected by queue lock or rcu. Put the initializing
inside the queue lock and rcu to make it safer.

As described in the comment of blkcg_activate_policy(),
*Update of each blkg is protected by both queue and blkcg locks so
that holding either lock and testing blkcg_policy_enabled() is
always enough for dereferencing policy data.*
with queue lock held, there is no need to hold blkcg lock in
blkcg_deactivate_policy(). Similar case is in
blkcg_activate_policy(), which has removed holding of blkcg lock in
commit 4c55f4f9ad.

We've triggered a WARNING in blk_throtl_bio() when throttling writeback
io, which complains blkg->refcnt is already 0 when calling blkg_get(),
and then kernel crashes with invalid page request.
After investigating this issue, we've found it is caused by a race
between blkcg_bio_issue_check() and cgroup_rmdir(), which is described
below:
writeback kworker cgroup_rmdir
cgroup_destroy_locked
kill_css
css_killed_ref_fn
css_killed_work_fn
offline_css
blkcg_css_offline
blkcg_bio_issue_check
rcu_read_lock
blkg_lookup
spin_trylock(q->queue_lock)
blkg_destroy
spin_unlock(q->queue_lock)
blk_throtl_bio
spin_lock_irq(q->queue_lock)
...
spin_unlock_irq(q->queue_lock)
rcu_read_unlock
Since rcu can only prevent blkg from releasing when it is being used,
the blkg->refcnt can be decreased to 0 during blkg_destroy() and schedule
blkg release.
Then trying to blkg_get() in blk_throtl_bio() will complains the WARNING.
And then the corresponding blkg_put() will schedule blkg release again,
which result in double free.
This race is introduced by commit ae11889636 ("blkcg: consolidate blkg
creation in blkcg_bio_issue_check()"). Before this commit, it will
lookup first and then try to lookup/create again with queue_lock. Since
revive this logic is a bit drastic, so fix it by only offlining pd during
blkcg_css_offline(), and move the rest destruction (especially
blkg_put()) into blkcg_css_free(), which should be the right way as
discussed.

There's no potential harm in quiescing the queue, but it also doesn't

This adds a set of hooks that intercepts the blk-mq path of
allocating/inserting/issuing/completing requests, allowing
us to develop a scheduler within that framework.
We reuse the existing elevator scheduler API on the registration
side, but augment that with the scheduler flagging support for
the blk-mq interfce, and with a separate set of ops hooks for MQ
devices.
We split driver and scheduler tags, so we can run the scheduling
independently of device queue depth.

blkcg allocates some per-cgroup data structures with GFP_NOWAIT and
when that fails falls back to operations which aren't specific to the
cgroup. Occassional failures are expected under pressure and falling
back to non-cgroup operation is the right thing to do.
Unfortunately, I forgot to add __GFP_NOWARN to these allocations and
these expected failures end up creating a lot of noise. Add
__GFP_NOWARN.

get_disk(),get_gendisk() calls have non explicit side effect: they
increase the reference on the disk owner module.
The following is the correct sequence how to get a disk reference and
to put it:
disk = get_gendisk(...);
/* use disk */
owner = disk->fops->owner;
put_disk(disk);
module_put(owner);
fs/block_dev.c is aware of this required module_put() call, but f.e.
blkg_conf_finish(), which is located in block/blk-cgroup.c, does not put
a module reference. To see a leakage in action cgroups throttle config
can be used. In the following script I'm removing throttle for /dev/ram0
(actually this is NOP, because throttle was never set for this device):
# lsmod | grep brd
brd 5175 0
# i=100; while [ $i -gt 0 ]; do echo "1:0 0" > \
/sys/fs/cgroup/blkio/blkio.throttle.read_bps_device; i=$(($i - 1)); \
done
# lsmod | grep brd
brd 5175 100
Now brd module has 100 references.
The issue is fixed by calling module_put() just right away put_disk().

Consider the following v2 hierarchy.
P0 (+memory) --- P1 (-memory) --- A
\- B
P0 has memory enabled in its subtree_control while P1 doesn't. If
both A and B contain processes, they would belong to the memory css of
P1. Now if memory is enabled on P1's subtree_control, memory csses
should be created on both A and B and A's processes should be moved to
the former and B's processes the latter. IOW, enabling controllers
can cause atomic migrations into different csses.
The core cgroup migration logic has been updated accordingly but the
controller migration methods haven't and still assume that all tasks
migrate to a single target css; furthermore, the methods were fed the
css in which subtree_control was updated which is the parent of the
target csses. pids controller depends on the migration methods to
move charges and this made the controller attribute charges to the
wrong csses often triggering the following warning by driving a
counter negative.

This patch fixes the bug by removing @css parameter from the three
migration methods, ->can_attach, ->cancel_attach() and ->attach() and
updating cgroup_taskset iteration helpers also return the destination
css in addition to the task being migrated. All controllers are
updated accordingly.
* Controllers which don't care whether there are one or multiple
target csses can be converted trivially. cpu, io, freezer, perf,
netclassid and netprio fall in this category.
* cpuset's current implementation assumes that there's single source
and destination and thus doesn't support v2 hierarchy already. The
only change made by this patchset is how that single destination css
is obtained.
* memory migration path already doesn't do anything on v2. How the
single destination css is obtained is updated and the prep stage of
mem_cgroup_can_attach() is reordered to accomodate the change.
* pids is the only controller which was affected by this bug. It now
correctly handles multi-destination migrations and no longer causes
counter underflow from incorrect accounting.

Pull cgroup updates from Tejun Heo:
"The cgroup core saw several significant updates this cycle:
- percpu_rwsem for threadgroup locking is reinstated. This was
temporarily dropped due to down_write latency issues. Oleg's
rework of percpu_rwsem which is scheduled to be merged in this
merge window resolves the issue.
- On the v2 hierarchy, when controllers are enabled and disabled, all
operations are atomic and can fail and revert cleanly. This allows
->can_attach() failure which is necessary for cpu RT slices.
- Tasks now stay associated with the original cgroups after exit
until released. This allows tracking resources held by zombies
(e.g. pids) and makes it easy to find out where zombies came from
on the v2 hierarchy. The pids controller was broken before these
changes as zombies escaped the limits; unfortunately, updating this
behavior required too many invasive changes and I don't think it's
a good idea to backport them, so the pids controller on 4.3, the
first version which included the pids controller, will stay broken
at least until I'm sure about the cgroup core changes.
- Optimization of a couple common tests using static_key"
