0fa294fb19 ("cgroup: Replace cgroup_rstat_mutex with a spinlock") added
cgroup_rstat_flush_irqsafe() allowing flushing to happen from the irq
context. However, rstat paths use u64_stats_sync to synchronize access to
64bit stat counters on 32bit machines. u64_stats_sync is implemented using
seq_lock and trying to read from an irq context can lead to A-A deadlock if
the irq happens to interrupt the stat update.
Fix it by using the irqsafe variants - u64_stats_update_begin_irqsave() and
u64_stats_update_end_irqrestore() - in the update paths. Note that none of
this matters on 64bit machines. All these are just for 32bit SMP setups.
Note that the interface was introduced way back, its first and currently
only use was recently added by 2d146aa3aa ("mm: memcontrol: switch to

We run a test that create millions of cgroups and blkgs, and then trigger
blkg_destroy_all(). blkg_destroy_all() will hold spin lock for a long
time in such situation. Thus release the lock when a batch of blkgs are
destroyed.
blkcg_activate_policy() and blkcg_deactivate_policy() might have the
same problem, however, as they are basically only called from module
init/exit paths, let's leave them alone for now.

Introduce an rq-qos policy that assigns an I/O priority to requests based
on blk-cgroup configuration settings. This policy has the following
advantages over the ioprio_set() system call:
- This policy is cgroup based so it has all the advantages of cgroups.
- While ioprio_set() does not affect page cache writeback I/O, this rq-qos
controller affects page cache writeback I/O for filesystems that support
assiociating a cgroup with writeback I/O. See also

blkcg has always rejected to attach if any of the member tasks has shared
io_context. The rationale was that io_contexts can be shared across
different cgroups making it impossible to define what the appropriate
control behavior should be. However, this check causes more problems than it
solves:
* The check prevents controller enable and migrations but not CLONE_IO
itself, which can lead to surprises as the outcome changes depending on
the order of operations.
* Sharing within a cgroup is fine but the check can't distinguish that. This
leads to unnecessary conflicts with the recent CLONE_IO usage in io_uring.
io_context sharing doesn't make any difference for rq_qos based controllers
and the way it's used is safe as long as tasks aren't migrated dynamically
which is the vast majority of use cases. While we can try to make the check
more precise to avoid false positives, the added complexity doesn't seem
worthwhile. Let's just drop blkcg_can_attach().

Current users of the rstat code can source root-level statistics from
the native counters of their respective subsystem, allowing them to
forego aggregation at the root level. This optimization is currently
implemented inside the generic rstat code, which doesn't track the root
cgroup and doesn't invoke the subsystem flush callbacks on it.
However, the memory controller cannot do this optimization, because
cgroup1 breaks out memory specifically for the local level, including at
the root level. In preparation for the memory controller switching to
rstat, move the optimization from rstat core to the controllers.
Afterwards, rstat will always track the root cgroup for changes and
invoke the subsystem callbacks on it; and it's up to the subsystem to
special-case and skip aggregation of the root cgroup if it can source
this information through other, cheaper means.
This is the case for the io controller and the cgroup base stats. In
their respective flush callbacks, check whether the parent is the root
cgroup, and if so, skip the unnecessary upward propagation.
The extra cost of tracking the root cgroup is negligible: on stat
changes, we actually remove a branch that checks for the root. The
queueing for a flush touches only per-cpu data, and only the first stat
change since a flush requires a (per-cpu) lock.

On !PREEMPT kernel, we can get below softlockup when doing stress
testing with creating and destroying block cgroup repeatly. The
reason is it may take a long time to acquire the queue's lock in
the loop of blkcg_destroy_blkgs(), or the system can accumulate a
huge number of blkgs in pathological cases. We can add a need_resched()
check on each loop and release locks and do cond_resched() if true
to avoid this issue, since the blkcg_destroy_blkgs() is not called
from atomic contexts.

Instead of having two structures that represent each block device with
different life time rules, merge them into a single one. This also
greatly simplifies the reference counting rules, as we can use the inode
reference count as the main reference count for the new struct
block_device, with the device model reference front ending it for device
model interaction.

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.

Normally, blkcg_iolatency_exit() will free related memory in iolatency
when cleanup queue. But if blk_throtl_init() return error and queue init
fail, blkcg_iolatency_exit() will not do that for us. Then it cause

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.

Previously, the code which printed io.stat only needed access to the
generic rstat flushing code, but since we plan to write some more
specific code for preparing root cgroup stats, we need to manipulate
iostat structs directly. Since declaring static functions ahead does not
seem like common practice in this file, simply move the iostat functions
up. We only plan to use blkg_iostat_set, but it seems better to keep them
all together.

The make_request_fn is a little weird in that it sits directly in
struct request_queue instead of an operation vector. Replace it with
a block_device_operations method called submit_bio (which describes much
better what it does). Also remove the request_queue argument to it, as
the queue can be derived pretty trivially from the bio.

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.

don't get offlined while there are active cgwbs on them. However, it
ends up making offlining unordered sometimes causing parents to be

Let's fix this by making child blkcgs pin the parents' online states.
Note that pin/unpin names are chosen over get/put intentionally

Current make_request based drivers use either blk_alloc_queue_node or
blk_alloc_queue to allocate a queue, and then set up the make_request_fn
function pointer and a few parameters using the blk_queue_make_request
helper. Simplify this by passing the make_request pointer to
blk_alloc_queue, and while at it merge the _node variant into the main
helper by always passing a node_id, and remove the superfluous gfp_mask
parameter. A lower-level __blk_alloc_queue is kept for the blk-mq case.
