Request-based DM's blk-mq support (dm-mq) was reported to be 50% slower
than if an underlying null_blk device were used directly. One of the
reasons for this drop in performance is that blk_insert_clone_request()
was calling blk_mq_insert_request() with @async=true. This forced the
use of kblockd_schedule_delayed_work_on() to run the blk-mq hw queues
which ushered in ping-ponging between process context (fio in this case)
and kblockd's kworker to submit the cloned request. The ftrace
function_graph tracer showed:
kworker-2013 => fio-12190
fio-12190 => kworker-2013
...
kworker-2013 => fio-12190
fio-12190 => kworker-2013
...
Fixing blk_insert_clone_request()'s blk_mq_insert_request() call to
_not_ use kblockd to submit the cloned requests isn't enough to
eliminate the observed context switches.
In addition to this dm-mq specific blk-core fix, there are 2 DM core
fixes to dm-mq that (when paired with the blk-core fix) completely
eliminate the observed context switching:
1) don't blk_mq_run_hw_queues in blk-mq request completion
Motivated by desire to reduce overhead of dm-mq, punting to kblockd
just increases context switches.
In my testing against a really fast null_blk device there was no benefit
to running blk_mq_run_hw_queues() on completion (and no other blk-mq
driver does this). So hopefully this change doesn't induce the need for
yet another revert like commit 621739b00e !
2) use blk_mq_complete_request() in dm_complete_request()
blk_complete_request() doesn't offer the traditional q->mq_ops vs
.request_fn branching pattern that other historic block interfaces
do (e.g. blk_get_request). Using blk_mq_complete_request() for
blk-mq requests is important for performance. It should be noted
that, like blk_complete_request(), blk_mq_complete_request() doesn't
natively handle partial completions -- but the request-based
DM-multipath target does provide the required partial completion
support by dm.c:end_clone_bio() triggering requeueing of the request
via dm-mpath.c:multipath_end_io()'s return of DM_ENDIO_REQUEUE.
dm-mq fix#2 is _much_ more important than #1 for eliminating the
context switches.
Before: cpu : usr=15.10%, sys=59.39%, ctx=7905181, majf=0, minf=475
After: cpu : usr=20.60%, sys=79.35%, ctx=2008, majf=0, minf=472
With these changes multithreaded async read IOPs improved from ~950K
to ~1350K for this dm-mq stacked on null_blk test-case. The raw read
IOPs of the underlying null_blk device for the same workload is ~1950K.

Commit 35dc248383 introduced a check for
current->mm to see if we have a user space context and only copies data
if we do. Now if an IO gets interrupted by a signal data isn't copied
into user space any more (as we don't have a user space context) but
user space isn't notified about it.
This patch modifies the behaviour to return -EINTR from bio_uncopy_user()
to notify userland that a signal has interrupted the syscall, otherwise
it could lead to a situation where the caller may get a buffer with
no data returned.
This can be reproduced by issuing SG_IO ioctl()s in one thread while
constantly sending signals to it.

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().

When a storage device rejects a WRITE SAME command we will disable write
same functionality for the device and return -EREMOTEIO to the block
layer. -EREMOTEIO will in turn prevent DM from retrying the I/O and/or
failing the path.
Yiwen Jiang discovered a small race where WRITE SAME requests issued
simultaneously would cause -EIO to be returned. This happened because
any requests being prepared after WRITE SAME had been disabled for the
device caused us to return BLKPREP_KILL. The latter caused the block
layer to return -EIO upon completion.
To overcome this we introduce BLKPREP_INVALID which indicates that this
is an invalid request for the device. blk_peek_request() is modified to
return -EREMOTEIO in that case.

dax mappings.

large contiguous mappings of persistent memory, add the capability to
dax-mmap a block device directly.
3/ Increased /dev/mem restrictions: Add an option to treat all io-memory
as IORESOURCE_EXCLUSIVE, i.e. disable /dev/mem access while a driver is
actively using an address range. This behavior is controlled via the
new CONFIG_IO_STRICT_DEVMEM option and can be overridden by the
existing "iomem=relaxed" kernel command line option.

Merge tag 'libnvdimm-for-4.5' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/nvdimm/nvdimm
Pull libnvdimm updates from Dan Williams:
"The bulk of this has appeared in -next and independently received a
build success notification from the kbuild robot. The 'for-4.5/block-
dax' topic branch was rebased over the weekend to drop the "block
device end-of-life" rework that Al would like to see re-implemented
with a notifier, and to address bug reports against the badblocks
integration.
There is pending feedback against "libnvdimm: Add a poison list and
export badblocks" received last week. Linda identified some localized
fixups that we will handle incrementally.
Summary:
- Media error handling: The 'badblocks' implementation that
originated in md-raid is up-levelled to a generic capability of a
block device. This initial implementation is limited to being
consulted in the pmem block-i/o path. Later, 'badblocks' will be
consulted when creating dax mappings.
- Raw block device dax: For virtualization and other cases that want
large contiguous mappings of persistent memory, add the capability
to dax-mmap a block device directly.
- Increased /dev/mem restrictions: Add an option to treat all
io-memory as IORESOURCE_EXCLUSIVE, i.e. disable /dev/mem access
while a driver is actively using an address range. This behavior
is controlled via the new CONFIG_IO_STRICT_DEVMEM option and can be
overridden by the existing "iomem=relaxed" kernel command line
option.
- Miscellaneous fixes include a 'pfn'-device huge page alignment fix,
block device shutdown crash fix, and other small libnvdimm fixes"

This splits bio in the middle of a vector to form the largest possible
bio at the h/w's desired alignment, and guarantees the bio being split
will have some data.
The criteria for splitting is changed from the max sectors to the h/w's
optimal sector alignment if it is provided. For h/w that advertise their
block storage's underlying chunk size, it's a big performance win to not
submit commands that cross them. If sector alignment is not provided,
this patch uses the max sectors as before.
This addresses the performance issue commit d380561113 attempted to
fix, but was reverted due to splitting logic error.

The badblocks list attached to a gendisk is allocated by the driver
which equates to the driver owning the lifetime of the object. Do not
automatically free it in del_gendisk(). This is in preparation for
expanding the use of badblocks in libnvdimm drivers and introducing
devm_init_badblocks().

For symmetry with badblocks_init() make it clear that this path only
destroys incremental allocations of a badblocks instance, and does not
free the badblocks instance itself.

NVDIMM devices, which can behave more like DRAM rather than block
devices, may develop bad cache lines, or 'poison'. A block device
exposed by the pmem driver can then consume poison via a read (or
write), and cause a machine check. On platforms without machine
check recovery features, this would mean a crash.
The block device maintaining a runtime list of all known sectors that
have poison can directly avoid this, and also provide a path forward
to enable proper handling/recovery for DAX faults on such a device.
Use the new badblock management interfaces to add a badblocks list to
gendisks.

Take the core badblocks implementation from md, and make it generally
available. This follows the same style as kernel implementations of
linked lists, rb-trees etc, where you can have a structure that can be
embedded anywhere, and accessor functions to manipulate the data.
The only changes in this copy of the code are ones to generalize
function/variable names from md-specific ones. Also add init and free
functions.

When tearing down a block device early in its lifetime, userspace may
still be performing discovery actions like blkdev_ioctl() to re-read
partitions.
The nvdimm_revalidate_disk() implementation depends on
disk->driverfs_dev to be valid at entry. However, it is set to NULL in
del_gendisk() and fatally this is happening *before* the disk device is
deleted from userspace view.
There's no reason for del_gendisk() to clear ->driverfs_dev. That
device is the parent of the disk. It is guaranteed to not be freed
until the disk, as a child, drops its ->parent reference.
We could also fix this issue locally in nvdimm_revalidate_disk() by
using disk_to_dev(disk)->parent, but lets fix it globally since
->driverfs_dev follows the lifetime of the parent. Longer term we
should probably just add a @parent parameter to add_disk(), and stop
carrying this pointer in the gendisk.

If an application wants exclusive access to all of the persistent memory
provided by an NVDIMM namespace it can use this raw-block-dax facility
to forgo establishing a filesystem. This capability is targeted
primarily to hypervisors wanting to provision persistent memory for

This reverts commit d380561113.
If we end up splitting on the first segment, we don't adjust
the sector count. That results in hitting a BUG() with attempting
to split 0 sectors.
As this is just a performance issue and not a regression since
4.3 release, let's just rever this change. That gives us more
time to test a real fix for 4.5, which would be marked for
stable anyway.
We currently only have an inline/sync helper to restart a stopped
queue. If drivers need an async version, they have to roll their
own. Add a generic helper instead.

Timer context is not very useful for drivers to perform any meaningful abort
action from. So instead of calling the driver from this useless context
defer it to a workqueue as soon as possible.
Note that while a delayed_work item would seem the right thing here I didn't
dare to use it due to the magic in blk_add_timer that pokes deep into timer
internals. But maybe this encourages Tejun to add a sensible API for that to
the workqueue API and we'll all be fine in the end :)
Contains a major update from Keith Bush:
"This patch removes synchronizing the timeout work so that the timer can
start a freeze on its own queue. The timer enters the queue, so timer
context can only start a freeze, but not wait for frozen."

The following commit which went into mainline through networking tree

fix in cgroup/for-4.4-fixes.
1f7dd3e5a6 ("cgroup: fix handling of multi-destination migration from subtree_control enabling")
The former separates out update_classid() from cgrp_attach() and
updates it to walk all fds of all tasks in the target css so that it
can be used from both migration and config change paths. The latter
drops @css from cgrp_attach().
Resolve the conflict by making cgrp_attach() call update_classid()
with the css from the first task. We can revive @tset walking in
cgrp_attach() but given that net_cls is v1 only where there always is
only one target css during migration, this is fine.

The routines in scsi_pm.c assume that if a runtime-PM callback is
invoked for a SCSI device, it can only mean that the device's driver
has asked the block layer to handle the runtime power management (by
calling blk_pm_runtime_init(), which among other things sets q->dev).
However, this assumption turns out to be wrong for things like the ses
driver. Normally ses devices are not allowed to do runtime PM, but
userspace can override this setting. If this happens, the kernel gets
a NULL pointer dereference when blk_post_runtime_resume() tries to use
the uninitialized q->dev pointer.
This patch fixes the problem by checking q->dev in block layer before
handle runtime PM. Since ses doesn't define any PM callbacks and call
blk_pm_runtime_init(), the crash won't occur.
This fixes Bugzilla #101371.

In architecture like powerpc, we can have cpus without any local memory
attached to it (a.k.a memoryless nodes). In such cases cpu to node mapping
can result in memory allocation hints for block hctx->numa_node populated
with node values which does not have real memory.
Instead use local_memory_node(), which is guaranteed to have memory.
local_memory_node is a noop in other architectures that does not support
memoryless nodes.
