In our test of iocost, we encountered some list add/del corruptions of
inner_walk list in ioc_timer_fn.
The reason can be described as follows:
cpu 0 cpu 1
ioc_qos_write ioc_qos_write
ioc = q_to_ioc(queue);
if (!ioc) {
ioc = kzalloc();
ioc = q_to_ioc(queue);
if (!ioc) {
ioc = kzalloc();
...
rq_qos_add(q, rqos);
}
...
rq_qos_add(q, rqos);
...
}
When the io.cost.qos file is written by two cpus concurrently, rq_qos may
be added to one disk twice. In that case, there will be two iocs enabled
and running on one disk. They own different iocgs on their active list. In
the ioc_timer_fn function, because of the iocgs from two iocs have the
same root iocg, the root iocg's walk_list may be overwritten by each other
and this leads to list add/del corruptions in building or destroying the
inner_walk list.
And so far, the blk-rq-qos framework works in case that one instance for
one type rq_qos per queue by default. This patch make this explicit and
also fix the crash above.

iolatency needs to track the number of inflight IOs per cgroup. As this
tracking can be expensive, it is disabled when no cgroup has iolatency
configured for the device. To ensure that the inflight counters stay
balanced, iolatency_set_limit() freezes the request_queue while manipulating
the enabled counter, which ensures that no IO is in flight and thus all
counters are zero.
Unfortunately, iolatency_set_limit() isn't the only place where the enabled
counter is manipulated. iolatency_pd_offline() can also dec the counter and
trigger disabling. As this disabling happens without freezing the q, this
can easily happen while some IOs are in flight and thus leak the counts.
This can be easily demonstrated by turning on iolatency on an one empty
cgroup while IOs are in flight in other cgroups and then removing the
cgroup. Note that iolatency shouldn't have been enabled elsewhere in the
system to ensure that removing the cgroup disables iolatency for the whole
device.
The following keeps flipping on and off iolatency on sda:
echo +io > /sys/fs/cgroup/cgroup.subtree_control
while true; do
mkdir -p /sys/fs/cgroup/test
echo '8:0 target=100000' > /sys/fs/cgroup/test/io.latency
sleep 1
rmdir /sys/fs/cgroup/test
sleep 1
done
and there's concurrent fio generating direct rand reads:
fio --name test --filename=/dev/sda --direct=1 --rw=randread \
--runtime=600 --time_based --iodepth=256 --numjobs=4 --bs=4k
while monitoring with the following drgn script:
while True:
for css in css_for_each_descendant_pre(prog['blkcg_root'].css.address_of_()):
for pos in hlist_for_each(container_of(css, 'struct blkcg', 'css').blkg_list):
blkg = container_of(pos, 'struct blkcg_gq', 'blkcg_node')
pd = blkg.pd[prog['blkcg_policy_iolatency'].plid]
if pd.value_() == 0:
continue
iolat = container_of(pd, 'struct iolatency_grp', 'pd')
inflight = iolat.rq_wait.inflight.counter.value_()
if inflight:
print(f'inflight={inflight} {disk_name(blkg.q.disk).decode("utf-8")} '
f'{cgroup_path(css.cgroup).decode("utf-8")}')
time.sleep(1)
The monitoring output looks like the following:
inflight=1 sda /user.slice
inflight=1 sda /user.slice
...
inflight=14 sda /user.slice
inflight=13 sda /user.slice
inflight=17 sda /user.slice
inflight=15 sda /user.slice
inflight=18 sda /user.slice
inflight=17 sda /user.slice
inflight=20 sda /user.slice
inflight=19 sda /user.slice <- fio stopped, inflight stuck at 19
inflight=19 sda /user.slice
inflight=19 sda /user.slice
If a cgroup with stuck inflight ends up getting throttled, the throttled IOs
will never get issued as there's no completion event to wake it up leading
to an indefinite hang.
This patch fixes the bug by unifying enable handling into a work item which
is automatically kicked off from iolatency_set_min_lat_nsec() which is
called from both iolatency_set_limit() and iolatency_pd_offline() paths.
Punting to a work item is necessary as iolatency_pd_offline() is called
under spinlocks while freezing a request_queue requires a sleepable context.
This also simplifies the code reducing LOC sans the comments and avoids the
unnecessary freezes which were happening whenever a cgroup's latency target
is newly set or cleared.

a647a524a4 ("block: don't call rq_qos_ops->done_bio if the bio isn't
tracked") made bio_endio() skip rq_qos_done_bio() if BIO_TRACKED is not set.
While this fixed a potential oops, it also broke blk-iocost by skipping the
done_bio callback for merged bios.
Before, whether a bio goes through rq_qos_throttle() or rq_qos_merge(),
rq_qos_done_bio() would be called on the bio on completion with BIO_TRACKED
distinguishing the former from the latter. rq_qos_done_bio() is not called
for bios which wenth through rq_qos_merge(). This royally confuses
blk-iocost as the merged bios never finish and are considered perpetually
in-flight.
One reliably reproducible failure mode is an intermediate cgroup geting
stuck active preventing its children from being activated due to the
leaf-only rule, leading to loss of control. The following is from
resctl-bench protection scenario which emulates isolating a web server like
workload from a memory bomb run on an iocost configuration which should
yield a reasonable level of protection.

BIO_TRACKED to BIO_QOS_THROTTLED. The flag checks are moved into
rq_qos_done_bio() so that it's next to the code paths that set the flags.

The iolatency controller is based on rq_qos. It increments on
rq_qos_throttle() and decrements on either rq_qos_cleanup() or
rq_qos_done_bio(). a3fb01ba5a fixes the double accounting issue where
blk_mq_make_request() may call both rq_qos_cleanup() and
rq_qos_done_bio() on REQ_NO_WAIT. So checking STS_AGAIN prevents the
double decrement.
The above works upstream as the only way we can get STS_AGAIN is from
blk_mq_get_request() failing. The STS_AGAIN handling isn't a real
problem as bio_endio() skipping only happens on reserved tag allocation
failures which can only be caused by driver bugs and already triggers
WARN.
However, the fix creates a not so great dependency on how STS_AGAIN can
be propagated. Internally, we (Facebook) carry a patch that kills read
ahead if a cgroup is io congested or a fatal signal is pending. This
combined with chained bios progagate their bi_status to the parent is
not already set can can cause the parent bio to not clean up properly
even though it was successful. This consequently leaks the inflight
counter and can hang all IOs under that blkg.
To nip the adverse interaction early, this removes the rq_qos_cleanup()
callback in iolatency in favor of cleaning up always on the
rq_qos_done_bio() path.

The blk-iolatency controller measures the time from rq_qos_throttle() to
rq_qos_done_bio() and attributes this time to the first bio that needs
to create the request. This means if a bio is plug-mergeable or
bio-mergeable, it gets to bypass the blk-iolatency controller.
The recent series [1], to tag all bios w/ blkgs undermined how iolatency
was determining which bios it was charging and should process in
rq_qos_done_bio(). Because all bios are being tagged, this caused the
atomic_t for the struct rq_wait inflight count to underflow and result
in a stall.
This patch adds a new flag BIO_TRACKED to let controllers know that a
bio is going through the rq_qos path. blk-iolatency now checks if this
flag is set to see if it should process the bio in rq_qos_done_bio().
Overloading BLK_QUEUE_ENTERED works, but makes the flag rules confusing.
BIO_THROTTLED was another candidate, but the flag is set for all bios
that have gone through blk-throttle code. Overloading a flag comes with
the burden of making sure that when either implementation changes, a
change in setting rules for one doesn't cause a bug in the other. So
here, we unfortunately opt for adding a new flag.

wants to do creation to write this themselves.
This changes blkg_lookup_create() to do locking and implement this
pattern. The old blkg_lookup_create() is renamed to
__blkg_lookup_create(). If a call site wants to do its own error
handling or already owns the queue lock, they can use
__blkg_lookup_create(). This will be used in upcoming patches.

The bio_blkcg() function turns out to be inconsistent and consequently
dangerous to use. The first part returns a blkcg where a reference is
owned by the bio meaning it does not need to be rcu protected. However,
the third case, the last line, is problematic:
return css_to_blkcg(task_css(current, io_cgrp_id));
This can race against task migration and the cgroup dying. It is also
semantically different as it must be called rcu protected and is
susceptible to failure when trying to get a reference to it.
This patch adds association ahead of calling bio_blkcg() rather than
after. This makes association a required and explicit step along the
code paths for calling bio_blkcg(). In blk-iolatency, association is
moved above the bio_blkcg() call to ensure it will not return %NULL.
BFQ uses the old bio_blkcg() function, but I do not want to address it
in this series due to the complexity. I have created a private version
documenting the inconsistency and noting not to use it.

Pull block layer fixes from Jens Axboe:
"The biggest part of this pull request is the revert of the blkcg
cleanup series. It had one fix earlier for a stacked device issue, but
another one was reported. Rather than play whack-a-mole with this,
revert the entire series and try again for the next kernel release.
Apart from that, only small fixes/changes.
Summary:
- Indentation fixup for mtip32xx (Colin Ian King)
- The blkcg cleanup series revert (Dennis Zhou)
- Two NVMe fixes. One fixing a regression in the nvme request
initialization in this merge window, causing nvme-fc to not work.
The other is a suspend/resume p2p resource issue (James, Keith)
- Fix sg discard merge, allowing us to merge in cases where we didn't
before (Jianchao Wang)
- Call rq_qos_exit() after the queue is frozen, preventing a hang
(Ming)
- Fix brd queue setup, fixing an oops if we fail setting up all
devices (Ming)"

We apply a smoothing to the scale changes in order to keep sawtoothy
behavior from occurring. However our window for checking if we've
missed our target can sometimes be lower than the smoothing interval
(500ms), especially on faster drives like ssd's. In order to deal with
this keep track of the running tally of the previous intervals that we
threw away because we had already done a scale event recently.
This is needed for the ssd case as these low latency drives will have
bursts of latency, and if it happens to be ok for the window that
directly follows the opening of the scale window we could unthrottle
when previous windows we were missing our target.

We use an average latency approach for determining if we're missing our
latency target. This works well for rotational storage where we have
generally consistent latencies, but for ssd's and other low latency
devices you have more of a spikey behavior, which means we often won't
throttle misbehaving groups because a lot of IO completes at drastically
faster times than our latency target. Instead keep track of how many
IO's miss our target and how many IO's are done in our time window. If
the p(90) latency is above our target then we know we need to throttle.
With this change in place we are seeing the same throttling behavior
with our testcase on ssd's as we see with rotational drives.

There is logic to keep cgroups that haven't done a lot of IO in the most
recent scale window from being punished for over-active higher priority
groups. However for things like ssd's where the windows are pretty
short we'll end up with small numbers of samples, so 5% of samples will
come out to 0 if there aren't enough. Make the floor 1 sample to keep
us from improperly bailing out of scaling down.

Hitting the case where blk_queue_depth() returned 1 uncovered the fact
that iolatency doesn't actually handle this case properly, it simply
doesn't scale down anybody. For this case we should go straight into
applying the time delay, which we weren't doing. Since we already limit
the floor at 1 request this if statement is not needed, and this allows
us to set our depth to 1 which allows us to apply the delay if needed.

We were using blk_queue_depth() assuming that it would return
nr_requests, but we hit a case in production on drives that had to have
NCQ turned off in order for them to not shit the bed which resulted in a
qd of 1, even though the nr_requests was much larger. iolatency really
only cares about requests we are allowed to queue up, as any io that
get's onto the request list is going to be serviced soonish, so we want
to be throttling before the bio gets onto the request list. To make
iolatency work as expected, simply use q->nr_requests instead of
blk_queue_depth() as that is what we actually care about.

Previously, blkg's were only assigned as needed by blk-iolatency and
blk-throttle. bio->css was also always being associated while blkg was
being looked up and then thrown away in blkcg_bio_issue_check.
This patch begins the cleanup of bio->css and bio->bi_blkg by always
associating a blkg in blkcg_bio_issue_check. This tries to create the
blkg, but if it is not possible, falls back to using the root_blkg of
the request_queue. Therefore, a bio will always be associated with a
blkg. The duplicate association logic is removed from blk-throttle and
blk-iolatency.

The accessor function bio_blkcg either returns the blkcg associated with
the bio or finds one in the current context. This can cause an issue
when trying to associate a bio with a blkcg. Particularly, it's the
third case that is problematic:
return css_to_blkcg(task_css(current, io_cgrp_id));
As the above may race against task migration and the cgroup exiting, it
is not always ok to take a reference on the blkcg returned from
bio_blkcg.
This patch adds association ahead of calling bio_blkcg rather than
after. This makes association a required and explicit step along the

a reference to the blkcg it may use and blk_put_rl will always put the
reference back. Association is also moved above the bio_blkcg call to
ensure it will not return NULL in blk-iolatency.
BFQ and CFQ utilize this flaw, but due to the complexity, I do not want
to address this in this series. I've created a private version of the
function with notes not to use it describing the flaw. Hopefully soon,
that code can be cleaned up.

Currently, avg_lat is calculated by accumulating the mean of every
window in a long running cumulative average. As time goes on, the metric
becomes less and less useful due to the accumulated history.
This patch reuses the same calculation done in load averages to make the
avg_lat metric more lively. Unlike load averages, the avg only advances
when a window elapses (due to an io). Idle periods extend the most
recent window. Bucketing is used to limit the history of avg_lat by
binding it to the window size. So, the window range for 1/exp (decay
rate) is [1 min, 2.5 min) when windows elapse immediately.
The current sample window size is exposed in the debug info to enable
calculation of the window range.

In our longer tests we noticed that some boxes would degrade to the
point of uselessness. This is because we truncate the current time when
saving it in our bio, but I was using the raw current time to subtract
from. So once the box had been up a certain amount of time it would
appear as if our IO's were taking several years to complete. Fix this
by truncating the current time so it matches the issue time. Verified
this worked by running with this patch for a week on our test tier.
