This way we don't need a block_device structure to submit I/O. The
block_device has different life time rules from the gendisk and
request_queue and is usually only available when the block device node
is open. Other callers need to explicitly create one (e.g. the lightnvm
passthrough code, or the new nvme multipathing code).
For the actual I/O path all that we need is the gendisk, which exists
once per block device. But given that the block layer also does
partition remapping we additionally need a partition index, which is
used for said remapping in generic_make_request.
Note that all the block drivers generally want request_queue or
sometimes the gendisk, so this removes a layer of indirection all
over the stack.

We should be returning normal negative error codes here. The "a"
variables comes from &c->async_write_error which is a blk_status_t
converted to a regular error code.
In the current code, the blk_status_t gets propogated back to
pool_create() and eventually results in an Oops.

Commit b685d3d65a ("block: treat REQ_FUA and REQ_PREFLUSH as
synchronous") removed REQ_SYNC flag from WRITE_{FUA|PREFLUSH|...}
definitions. generic_make_request_checks() however strips REQ_FUA and
REQ_PREFLUSH flags from a bio when the storage doesn't report volatile
write cache and thus write effectively becomes asynchronous which can
lead to performance regressions.
Fix the problem by making sure all bios which are synchronous are
properly marked with REQ_SYNC.

Change the type of the parameter "retain_bytes" from unsigned to
unsigned long, so that on 64-bit machines the user can set more than
4GiB of data to be retained.
Also, change the type of the variable "count" in the function
"__evict_old_buffers" to unsigned long. The assignment
"count = c->n_buffers[LIST_CLEAN] + c->n_buffers[LIST_DIRTY];"
could result in unsigned long to unsigned overflow and that could result
in buffers not being freed when they should.
While at it, avoid division in get_retain_buffers(). Division is slow,
we can change it to shift because we have precalculated the log2 of
block size.

__vmalloc* allows users to provide gfp flags for the underlying
allocation. This API is quite popular
$ git grep "=[[:space:]]__vmalloc\|return[[:space:]]*__vmalloc" | wc -l
77
The only problem is that many people are not aware that they really want
to give __GFP_HIGHMEM along with other flags because there is really no
reason to consume precious lowmemory on CONFIG_HIGHMEM systems for pages
which are mapped to the kernel vmalloc space. About half of users don't
use this flag, though. This signals that we make the API unnecessarily
too complex.
This patch simply uses __GFP_HIGHMEM implicitly when allocating pages to
be mapped to the vmalloc space. Current users which add __GFP_HIGHMEM
are simplified and drop the flag.

dm-bufio checks a watermark when it allocates a new buffer in
__bufio_new(). However, it doesn't check the watermark when the user
changes /sys/module/dm_bufio/parameters/max_cache_size_bytes.
This may result in a problem - if the watermark is high enough so that
all possible buffers are allocated and if the user lowers the value of
"max_cache_size_bytes", the watermark will never be checked against the
new value because no new buffer would be allocated.
To fix this, change __evict_old_buffers() so that it checks the
watermark. __evict_old_buffers() is called every 30 seconds, so if the
user reduces "max_cache_size_bytes", dm-bufio will react to this change
within 30 seconds and decrease memory consumption.

__get_memory_limit() tests if dm_bufio_cache_size changed and calls
__cache_size_refresh() if it did. It takes dm_bufio_clients_lock while
it already holds the client lock. However, lock ordering is violated
because in cleanup_old_buffers() dm_bufio_clients_lock is taken before
the client lock.
This results in a possible deadlock and lockdep engine warning.
Fix this deadlock by changing mutex_lock() to mutex_trylock(). If the
lock can't be taken, it will be re-checked next time when a new buffer
is allocated.
Also add "unlikely" to the if condition, so that the optimizer assumes
that the condition is false.

This is a nasty interface and setting the state of a foreign task must
not be done. As of the following commit:
be628be095 ("bcache: Make gc wakeup sane, remove set_task_state()")
... everyone in the kernel calls set_task_state() with current, allowing
the helper to be removed.
However, as the comment indicates, it is still around for those archs
where computing current is more expensive than using a pointer, at least
in theory. An important arch that is affected is arm64, however this has
been addressed now [1] and performance is up to par making no difference
with either calls.
Of all the callers, if any, it's the locking bits that would care most
about this -- ie: we end up passing a tsk pointer to a lot of the lock
slowpath, and setting ->state on that. The following numbers are based
on two tests: a custom ad-hoc microbenchmark that just measures
latencies (for ~65 million calls) between get_task_state() vs
get_current_state().
Secondly for a higher overview, an unlink microbenchmark was used,
which pounds on a single file with open, close,unlink combos with
increasing thread counts (up to 4x ncpus). While the workload is quite
unrealistic, it does contend a lot on the inode mutex or now rwsem.

x86-64 (known to be fast for get_current()/this_cpu_read_stable() caching)

The small delta for ppc64 (2ms), does not represent the gains on the unlink
runs. In the case of x86, there was a decent amount of variation in the
latency runs, but always within a 20 to 50ms increase), ppc was more constant.

process_one_work+0x240/0x424
worker_thread+0x2fc/0x424
kthread+0x10c/0x114
...and that looks to be the one holding the mutex.
The problem has been reproduced on fairly easily:
0. Be running Chrome OS w/ verity enabled on the root filesystem
1. Pick test patch: http://crosreview.com/412360
2. Install launchBalloons.sh and balloon.arm from
http://crbug.com/468342
...that's just a memory stress test app.
3. On a 4GB rk3399 machine, run
nice ./launchBalloons.sh 4 900 100000
...that tries to eat 4 * 900 MB of memory and keep accessing.
4. Login to the Chrome web browser and restore many tabs
With that, I've seen printouts like:
DOUG: long bufio 90758 ms
...and stack trace always show's we're in dm_bufio_prefetch().
The problem is that we try to allocate memory with GFP_NOIO while
we're holding the dm_bufio lock. Instead we should be using
GFP_NOWAIT. Using GFP_NOIO can cause us to sleep while holding the
lock and that causes the above problems.
The current behavior explained by David Rientjes:
It will still try reclaim initially because __GFP_WAIT (or
__GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM) is set by GFP_NOIO. This is the cause of
contention on dm_bufio_lock() that the thread holds. You want to
pass GFP_NOWAIT instead of GFP_NOIO to alloc_buffer() when holding a
mutex that can be contended by a concurrent slab shrinker (if
count_objects didn't use a trylock, this pattern would trivially
deadlock).
This change significantly increases responsiveness of the system while
in this state. It makes a real difference because it unblocks kswapd.
In the bug report analyzed, kswapd was hung:

Some drivers often use external bvec table, so introduce
this helper for this case. It is always safe to access the
bio->bi_io_vec in this way for this case.
After converting to this usage, it will becomes a bit easier
to evaluate the remaining direct access to bio->bi_io_vec,
so it can help to prepare for the following multipage bvec
support.

The workqueue "dm_bufio_wq" queues a single work item &dm_bufio_work so
it doesn't require execution ordering. Hence, alloc_workqueue() has
been used to replace the deprecated create_singlethread_workqueue().
The WQ_MEM_RECLAIM flag has been set since DM requires forward progress
under memory pressure.
Since there are fixed number of work items, explicit concurrency

"All kinds of stuff. That probably should've been 5 or 6 separate

One piece probably deserves special mention - Neil's
lookup_one_len_unlocked(). Similar to lookup_one_len(), but gets
called without ->i_mutex and tries to avoid ever taking it. That, of

There will be a patch closer to the end of the window, along the lines
of the one Linus had posted last May - mechanical conversion of

inode_is_locked()/inode_lock_nested(). To quote Linus back then:

The option DM_DEBUG_BLOCK_STACK_TRACING is moved from persistent-data
directory to device mapper directory because it will now be used by
persistent-data and bufio. When the option is enabled, each bufio buffer
stores the stacktrace of the last dm_bufio_get(), dm_bufio_read() or
dm_bufio_new() call that increased the hold count to 1. The buffer's
stacktrace is printed if the buffer was not released before the bufio
client is destroyed.
When DM_DEBUG_BLOCK_STACK_TRACING is enabled, any bufio buffer leaks are
considered warnings - i.e. the kernel continues afterwards. If not
enabled, buffer leaks are considered BUGs and the kernel with crash.
Reasoning on this disposition is: if we only ever warned on buffer leaks
users would generally ignore them and the problematic code would never
get fixed.

Currently we have two different ways to signal an I/O error on a BIO:
(1) by clearing the BIO_UPTODATE flag
(2) by returning a Linux errno value to the bi_end_io callback
The first one has the drawback of only communicating a single possible
error (-EIO), and the second one has the drawback of not beeing persistent
when bios are queued up, and are not passed along from child to parent
bio in the ever more popular chaining scenario. Having both mechanisms
available has the additional drawback of utterly confusing driver authors
and introducing bugs where various I/O submitters only deal with one of
them, and the others have to add boilerplate code to deal with both kinds
of error returns.
So add a new bi_error field to store an errno value directly in struct
bio and remove the existing mechanisms to clean all this up.

the bio_reset after calling submit_io's end_io callback.

These changes help keep metadata backed by dm-bufio in-core longer which

Before, bufio evicted all buffers older than DM_BUFIO_DEFAULT_AGE_SECS.
Having a device (e.g. dm-thinp or dm-cache) lose all metadata just
because associated buffers had been idle for some time is unfriendly.
Now, the user may now configure the number of bytes that bufio retains
using the 'retain_bytes' module parameter. The default is 256K.
Also, the DM_BUFIO_WORK_TIMER_SECS and DM_BUFIO_DEFAULT_AGE_SECS
defaults were quite low so increase them (to 30 and 300 respectively).

The shrinker uses gfp flags to indicate what kind of operation can the
driver wait for. If __GFP_IO flag is present, the driver can wait for
block I/O operations, if __GFP_FS flag is present, the driver can wait on
operations involving the filesystem.
dm-bufio tested for __GFP_IO. However, dm-bufio can run on a loop block
device that makes calls into the filesystem. If __GFP_IO is present and
__GFP_FS isn't, dm-bufio could still block on filesystem operations if it
runs on a loop block device.
The change from __GFP_IO to __GFP_FS supposedly fixes one observed (though
unreproducible) deadlock involving dm-bufio and loop device.

When __scan frees the required number of buffer entries that the
shrinker requested (nr_to_scan becomes zero) it must return. Before
this fix the __scan code exited only the inner loop and continued in the
outer loop -- which could result in reduced performance due to extra
buffers being freed (e.g. unnecessarily evicted thinp metadata needing
to be synchronously re-read into bufio's cache).
Also, move dm_bufio_cond_resched to __scan's inner loop, so that
iterating the bufio client's lru lists doesn't result in scheduling
latency.

The 'last_accessed' member of the dm_buffer structure was only set when
the the buffer was created. This led to each buffer being discarded
after dm_bufio_max_age time even if it was used recently. In practice
this resulted in all thinp metadata being evicted soon after being read
-- this is particularly problematic for metadata intensive workloads
like multithreaded small random IO.
'last_accessed' is now updated each time the buffer is moved to the head
of the LRU list, so the buffer is now properly discarded if it was not

Pull scheduler updates from Ingo Molnar:
- Move the nohz kick code out of the scheduler tick to a dedicated IPI,
from Frederic Weisbecker.
This necessiated quite some background infrastructure rework,
including:
* Clean up some irq-work internals
* Implement remote irq-work
* Implement nohz kick on top of remote irq-work
* Move full dynticks timer enqueue notification to new kick
* Move multi-task notification to new kick
* Remove unecessary barriers on multi-task notification
- Remove proliferation of wait_on_bit() action functions and allow
wait_on_bit_action() functions to support a timeout. (Neil Brown)
- Another round of sched/numa improvements, cleanups and fixes. (Rik
van Riel)
- Implement fast idling of CPUs when the system is partially loaded,
for better scalability. (Tim Chen)
- Restructure and fix the CPU hotplug handling code that may leave
cfs_rq and rt_rq's throttled when tasks are migrated away from a dead
cpu. (Kirill Tkhai)
- Robustify the sched topology setup code. (Peterz Zijlstra)
- Improve sched_feat() handling wrt. static_keys (Jason Baron)
- Misc fixes.

1d3d4437ea ("vmscan: per-node deferred work") added a flags field to
struct shrinker assuming that all shrinkers were zero filled. The dm
bufio shrinker is not zero filled, which leaves arbitrary kmalloc() data
in flags. So far the only defined flags bit is SHRINKER_NUMA_AWARE.
But there are proposed patches which add other bits to shrinker.flags
(e.g. memcg awareness).
Rather than simply initializing the shrinker, this patch uses kzalloc()
when allocating the dm_bufio_client to ensure that the embedded shrinker
and any other similar structures are zeroed.
This fixes theoretical over aggressive shrinking of dm bufio objects.
If the uninitialized dm_bufio_client.shrinker.flags contains
SHRINKER_NUMA_AWARE then shrink_slab() would call the dm shrinker for
each numa node rather than just once. This has been broken since 3.12.

The current "wait_on_bit" interface requires an 'action'
function to be provided which does the actual waiting.
There are over 20 such functions, many of them identical.
Most cases can be satisfied by one of just two functions, one
which uses io_schedule() and one which just uses schedule().
So:
Rename wait_on_bit and wait_on_bit_lock to
wait_on_bit_action and wait_on_bit_lock_action
to make it explicit that they need an action function.
Introduce new wait_on_bit{,_lock} and wait_on_bit{,_lock}_io
which are *not* given an action function but implicitly use
a standard one.
The decision to error-out if a signal is pending is now made
based on the 'mode' argument rather than being encoded in the action
function.
All instances of the old wait_on_bit and wait_on_bit_lock which
can use the new version have been changed accordingly and their
action functions have been discarded.
wait_on_bit{_lock} does not return any specific error code in the
event of a signal so the caller must check for non-zero and
interpolate their own error code as appropriate.
The wait_on_bit() call in __fscache_wait_on_invalidate() was
ambiguous as it specified TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE but used
fscache_wait_bit_interruptible as an action function.
David Howells confirms this should be uniformly
"uninterruptible"
The main remaining user of wait_on_bit{,_lock}_action is NFS
which needs to use a freezer-aware schedule() call.
A comment in fs/gfs2/glock.c notes that having multiple 'action'
functions is useful as they display differently in the 'wchan'
field of 'ps'. (and /proc/$PID/wchan).
As the new bit_wait{,_io} functions are tagged "__sched", they
will not show up at all, but something higher in the stack. So
the distinction will still be visible, only with different
function names (gds2_glock_wait versus gfs2_glock_dq_wait in the
gfs2/glock.c case).
Since first version of this patch (against 3.15) two new action
functions appeared, on in NFS and one in CIFS. CIFS also now
uses an action function that makes the same freezer aware
schedule call as NFS.

Pull core block IO changes from Jens Axboe:
"The major piece in here is the immutable bio_ve series from Kent, the
rest is fairly minor. It was supposed to go in last round, but
various issues pushed it to this release instead. The pull request
contains:
- Various smaller blk-mq fixes from different folks. Nothing major
here, just minor fixes and cleanups.
- Fix for a memory leak in the error path in the block ioctl code
from Christian Engelmayer.
- Header export fix from CaiZhiyong.
- Finally the immutable biovec changes from Kent Overstreet. This
enables some nice future work on making arbitrarily sized bios
possible, and splitting more efficient. Related fixes to immutable
bio_vecs:
- dm-cache immutable fixup from Mike Snitzer.
- btrfs immutable fixup from Muthu Kumar.
- bio-integrity fix from Nic Bellinger, which is also going to stable"

This patch modifies dm-snapshot so that it prefetches the buffers when
loading the exceptions.
The number of buffers read ahead is specified in the DM_PREFETCH_CHUNKS
macro. The current value for DM_PREFETCH_CHUNKS (12) was found to
provide the best performance on a single 15k SCSI spindle. In the
future we may modify this default or make it configurable.
Also, introduce the function dm_bufio_set_minimum_buffers to setup
bufio's number of internal buffers before freeing happens. dm-bufio may
hold more buffers if enough memory is available. There is no guarantee
that the specified number of buffers will be available - if you need a
guarantee, use the argument reserved_buffers for
dm_bufio_client_create.
