Bios queued into BFQ IO scheduler can be associated with a cgroup that
was already offlined. This may then cause insertion of this bfq_group
into a service tree. But this bfq_group will get freed as soon as last
bio associated with it is completed leading to use after free issues for
service tree users. Fix the problem by making sure we always operate on
online bfq_group. If the bfq_group associated with the bio is not
online, we pick the first online parent.

BFQ usage of __bio_blkcg() is a relict from the past. Furthermore if bio
would not be associated with any blkcg, the usage of __bio_blkcg() in
BFQ is prone to races with the task being migrated between cgroups as
__bio_blkcg() calls at different places could return different blkcgs.
Convert BFQ to the new situation where bio->bi_blkg is initialized in
bio_set_dev() and thus practically always valid. This allows us to save
blkcg_gq lookup and noticeably simplify the code.

When bfqq is shared by multiple processes it can happen that one of the
processes gets moved to a different cgroup (or just starts submitting IO
for different cgroup). In case that happens we need to split the merged
bfqq as otherwise we will have IO for multiple cgroups in one bfqq and
we will just account IO time to wrong entities etc.
Similarly if the bfqq is scheduled to merge with another bfqq but the
merge didn't happen yet, cancel the merge as it need not be valid
anymore.

Since commit 430a67f9d6 ("block, bfq: merge bursts of newly-created
queues"), BFQ maintains a per-group pointer to the last bfq_queue
created. If such a queue, say bfqq, happens to move to a different
group, then bfqq is no more a valid last bfq_queue created for its
previous group. That pointer must then be cleared. Not resetting such
a pointer may also cause UAF, if bfqq happens to also be freed after
being moved to a different group. This commit performs this missing
reset. As such it fixes commit 430a67f9d6 ("block, bfq: merge bursts
of newly-created queues").
Such a missing reset is most likely the cause of the crash reported in [1].
With some analysis, we found that this crash was due to the
above UAF. And such UAF did go away with this commit applied [1].
Anyway, before this commit, that crash happened to be triggered in
conjunction with commit 2d52c58b9c ("block, bfq: honor already-setup
queue merges"). The latter was then reverted by commit ebc69e897e
("Revert "block, bfq: honor already-setup queue merges""). Yet commit
2d52c58b9c ("block, bfq: honor already-setup queue merges") contains
no error related with the above UAF, and can then be restored.

Many throughput-sensitive workloads are made of several parallel I/O
flows, with all flows generated by the same application, or more
generically by the same task (e.g., system boot). The most
counterproductive action with these workloads is plugging I/O dispatch
when one of the bfq_queues associated with these flows remains
temporarily empty.
To avoid this plugging, BFQ has been using a burst-handling mechanism
for years now. This mechanism has proven effective for throughput, and
not detrimental for service guarantees. This commit pushes this
mechanism a little bit further, basing on the following two facts.
First, all the I/O flows of a the same application or task contribute
to the execution/completion of that common application or task. So the
performance figures that matter are total throughput of the flows and
task-wide I/O latency. In particular, these flows do not need to be
protected from each other, in terms of individual bandwidth or
latency.
Second, the above fact holds regardless of the number of flows.
Putting these two facts together, this commits merges stably the
bfq_queues associated with these I/O flows, i.e., with the processes
that generate these IO/ flows, regardless of how many the involved
processes are.
To decide whether a set of bfq_queues is actually associated with the
I/O flows of a common application or task, and to merge these queues
stably, this commit operates as follows: given a bfq_queue, say Q2,
currently being created, and the last bfq_queue, say Q1, created
before Q2, Q2 is merged stably with Q1 if
- very little time has elapsed since when Q1 was created
- Q2 has the same ioprio as Q1
- Q2 belongs to the same group as Q1
Merging bfq_queues also reduces scheduling overhead. A fio test with
ten random readers on /dev/nullb shows a throughput boost of 40%, with
a quadcore. Since BFQ's execution time amounts to ~50% of the total
per-request processing time, the above throughput boost implies that
BFQ's overhead is reduced by more than 50%.

Changes from v1:
- update commit description with proper ref-accounting justification
commit db37a34c56 ("block, bfq: get a ref to a group when adding it to a service tree")
introduce leak forbfq_group and blkcg_gq objects because of get/put
imbalance.
In fact whole idea of original commit is wrong because bfq_group entity
can not dissapear under us because it is referenced by child bfq_queue's
entities from here:
-> bfq_init_entity()
->bfqg_and_blkg_get(bfqg);
->entity->parent = bfqg->my_entity
-> bfq_put_queue(bfqq)
FINAL_PUT
->bfqg_and_blkg_put(bfqq_group(bfqq))
->kmem_cache_free(bfq_pool, bfqq);
So parent entity can not disappear while child entity is in tree,
and child entities already has proper protection.
This patch revert commit db37a34c56 ("block, bfq: get a ref to a group when adding it to a service tree")

In bfq_pd_offline(), the function bfq_flush_idle_tree() is invoked to
flush the rb tree that contains all idle entities belonging to the pd

bfq_reparent_leaf_entity() reparents the input leaf entity (a leaf
entity represents just a bfq_queue in an entity tree). Yet, the input
entity is guaranteed to always be a leaf entity only in two-level
entity trees. In this respect, because of the error fixed by
commit 14afc59361 ("block, bfq: fix overwrite of bfq_group pointer

to actually have only two levels. After the latter commit, this does not
hold any longer.
This commit fixes this problem by modifying
bfq_reparent_leaf_entity(), so that it searches an active leaf entity
down the path that stems from the input entity. Such a leaf entity is
guaranteed to exist when bfq_reparent_leaf_entity() is invoked.

Commit ecedd3d7e1 ("block, bfq: get extra ref to prevent a queue
from being freed during a group move") gets an extra reference to a
bfq_queue before possibly deactivating it (temporarily), in
bfq_bfqq_move(). This prevents the bfq_queue from disappearing before
being reactivated in its new group.
Yet, the bfq_queue may also be expired (i.e., its service may be
stopped) before the bfq_queue is deactivated. And also an expiration
may lead to a premature freeing. This commit fixes this issue by
simply moving forward the getting of the extra reference already
introduced by commit ecedd3d7e1 ("block, bfq: get extra ref to

The bfq_find_set_group() function takes as input a blkcg (which represents
a cgroup) and retrieves the corresponding bfq_group, then it updates the
bfq internal group hierarchy (see comments inside the function for why
this is needed) and finally it returns the bfq_group.
In the hierarchy update cycle, the pointer holding the correct bfq_group
that has to be returned is mistakenly used to traverse the hierarchy
bottom to top, meaning that in each iteration it gets overwritten with the
parent of the current group. Since the update cycle stops at root's
children (depth = 2), the overwrite becomes a problem only if the blkcg
describes a cgroup at a hierarchy level deeper than that (depth > 2). In
this case the root's child that happens to be also an ancestor of the
correct bfq_group is returned. The main consequence is that processes
contained in a cgroup at depth greater than 2 are wrongly placed in the
group described above by BFQ.
This commits fixes this problem by using a different bfq_group pointer in
the update cycle in order to avoid the overwrite of the variable holding
the original group reference.

BFQ schedules generic entities, which may represent either bfq_queues
or groups of bfq_queues. When an entity is inserted into a service
tree, a reference must be taken, to make sure that the entity does not
disappear while still referred in the tree. Unfortunately, such a
reference is mistakenly taken only if the entity represents a
bfq_queue. This commit takes a reference also in case the entity

When used on cgroup1, bfq uses the blkg->stat_bytes and ->stat_ios
from blk-cgroup core to populate six stat knobs. blk-cgroup core is
moving away from blkg_rwstat to improve scalability and won't be able
to support this usage.
It isn't like the sharing gains all that much. Let's break it out to
dedicated rwstat counters which are updated when on cgroup1. This
makes use of bfqg_*rwstat*() helpers outside of
CONFIG_BFQ_CGROUP_DEBUG. Move them out.

There's some discussion on how to do this the best, and Tejun prefers
that BFQ just create the file itself instead of having cgroups support
a symlink feature.
Hence revert commit 54b7b868e8 and 19e9da9e86 for 5.2, and this
can be done properly for 5.3.

Many userspace tools and services use the proportional-share policy of
the blkio/io cgroups controller. The CFQ I/O scheduler implemented
this policy for the legacy block layer. To modify the weight of a
group in case CFQ was in charge, the 'weight' parameter of the group
must be modified. On the other hand, the BFQ I/O scheduler implements
the same policy in blk-mq, but, with BFQ, the parameter to modify has
a different name: bfq.weight (forced choice until legacy block was
present, because two different policies cannot share a common parameter
in cgroups).
Due to CFQ legacy, most if not all userspace configurations still use
the parameter 'weight', and for the moment do not seem likely to be
changed. But, when CFQ went away with legacy block, such a parameter
ceased to exist.
So, a simple workaround has been proposed [1] to make all
configurations work: add a symlink, named weight, to bfq.weight. This
commit adds such a symlink.

To boost throughput with a set of processes doing interleaved I/O
(i.e., a set of processes whose individual I/O is random, but whose
merged cumulative I/O is sequential), BFQ merges the queues associated
with these processes, i.e., redirects the I/O of these processes into a
common, shared queue. In the shared queue, I/O requests are ordered by
their position on the medium, thus sequential I/O gets dispatched to
the device when the shared queue is served.
Queue merging costs execution time, because, to detect which queues to
merge, BFQ must maintain a list of the head I/O requests of active
queues, ordered by request positions. Measurements showed that this
costs about 10% of BFQ's total per-request processing time.
Request processing time becomes more and more critical as the speed of
the underlying storage device grows. Yet, fortunately, queue merging
is basically useless on the very devices that are so fast to make
request processing time critical. To reach a high throughput, these
devices must have many requests queued at the same time. But, in this
configuration, the internal scheduling algorithms of these devices do
also the job of queue merging: they reorder requests so as to obtain
as much as possible a sequential I/O pattern. As a consequence, with
processes doing interleaved I/O, the throughput reached by one such
device is likely to be the same, with and without queue merging.
In view of this fact, this commit disables queue merging, and all
related housekeeping, for non-rotational devices with internal
queueing. The total, single-lock-protected, per-request processing
time of BFQ drops to, e.g., 1.9 us on an Intel Core i7-2760QM@2.40GHz
(time measured with simple code instrumentation, and using the
throughput-sync.sh script of the S suite [1], in performance-profiling
mode). To put this result into context, the total,
single-lock-protected, per-request execution time of the lightest I/O
scheduler available in blk-mq, mq-deadline, is 0.7 us (mq-deadline is
~800 LOC, against ~10500 LOC for BFQ).
Disabling merging provides a further, remarkable benefit in terms of
throughput. Merging tends to make many workloads artificially more
uneven, mainly because of shared queues remaining non empty for
incomparably more time than normal queues. So, if, e.g., one of the
queues in a set of merged queues has a higher weight than a normal
queue, then the shared queue may inherit such a high weight and, by
staying almost always active, may force BFQ to perform I/O plugging
most of the time. This evidently makes it harder for BFQ to let the
device reach a high throughput.
As a practical example of this problem, and of the benefits of this
commit, we measured again the throughput in the nasty scenario
considered in previous commit messages: dbench test (in the Phoronix
suite), with 6 clients, on a filesystem with journaling, and with the
journaling daemon enjoying a higher weight than normal processes. With
this commit, the throughput grows from ~150 MB/s to ~200 MB/s on a
PLEXTOR PX-256M5 SSD. This is the same peak throughput reached by any
of the other I/O schedulers. As such, this is also likely to be the
maximum possible throughput reachable with this workload on this
device, because I/O is mostly random, and the other schedulers
basically just pass I/O requests to the drive as fast as possible.

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.

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
code paths for calling bio_blkcg. blk_get_rl is modified as well to get
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.
