Simultaneously writing to a sequential zone of a zoned block device
from multiple contexts requires mutual exclusion for BIO issuing to
ensure that writes happen sequentially. However, even for a well
behaved user correctly implementing such synchronization, BIO plugging
may interfere and result in BIOs from the different contextx to be
reordered if plugging is done outside of the mutual exclusion section,
e.g. the plug was started by a function higher in the call chain than
the function issuing BIOs.
Context A Context B
| blk_start_plug()
| ...
| seq_write_zone()
| mutex_lock(zone)
| bio-0->bi_iter.bi_sector = zone->wp
| zone->wp += bio_sectors(bio-0)
| submit_bio(bio-0)
| bio-1->bi_iter.bi_sector = zone->wp
| zone->wp += bio_sectors(bio-1)
| submit_bio(bio-1)
| mutex_unlock(zone)
| return
| -----------------------> | seq_write_zone()
| mutex_lock(zone)
| bio-2->bi_iter.bi_sector = zone->wp
| zone->wp += bio_sectors(bio-2)
| submit_bio(bio-2)
| mutex_unlock(zone)
| <------------------------- |
| blk_finish_plug()
In the above example, despite the mutex synchronization ensuring the
correct BIO issuing order 0, 1, 2, context A BIOs 0 and 1 end up being
issued after BIO 2 of context B, when the plug is released with
blk_finish_plug().
While this problem can be addressed using the blk_flush_plug_list()
function (in the above example, the call must be inserted before the
zone mutex lock is released), a simple generic solution in the block
layer avoid this additional code in all zoned block device user code.
The simple generic solution implemented with this patch is to introduce
the internal helper function blk_mq_plug() to access the current
context plug on BIO submission. This helper returns the current plug
only if the target device is not a zoned block device or if the BIO to
be plugged is not a write operation. Otherwise, the caller context plug
is ignored and NULL returned, resulting is all writes to zoned block
device to never be plugged.

No code that occurs between blk_mq_get_ctx() and blk_mq_put_ctx() depends
on preemption being disabled for its correctness. Since removing the CPU
preemption calls does not measurably affect performance, simplify the
blk-mq code by removing the blk_mq_put_ctx() function and also by not
disabling preemption in blk_mq_get_ctx().

Once blk_cleanup_queue() returns, tags shouldn't be used any more,
because blk_mq_free_tag_set() may be called. Commit 45a9c9d909
("blk-mq: Fix a use-after-free") fixes this issue exactly.
However, that commit introduces another issue. Before 45a9c9d909,
we are allowed to run queue during cleaning up queue if the queue's
kobj refcount is held. After that commit, queue can't be run during
queue cleaning up, otherwise oops can be triggered easily because
some fields of hctx are freed by blk_mq_free_queue() in blk_cleanup_queue().
We have invented ways for addressing this kind of issue before, such as:
8dc765d438 ("SCSI: fix queue cleanup race before queue initialization is done")
c2856ae2f3 ("blk-mq: quiesce queue before freeing queue")
But still can't cover all cases, recently James reports another such
kind of issue:
https://marc.info/?l=linux-scsi&m=155389088124782&w=2
This issue can be quite hard to address by previous way, given
scsi_run_queue() may run requeues for other LUNs.
Fixes the above issue by freeing hctx's resources in its release handler, and this
way is safe becasue tags isn't needed for freeing such hctx resource.
This approach follows typical design pattern wrt. kobject's release handler.

2) free all allocated ctxs and the 'blk_mq_ctxs' instance in release

This patch simplifies the timeout handling by relying on the request
reference counting to ensure the iterator is operating on an inflight
and truly timed out request. Since the reference counting prevents the
tag from being reallocated, the block layer no longer needs to prevent
drivers from completing their requests while the timeout handler is
operating on it: a driver completing a request is allowed to proceed to
the next state without additional syncronization with the block layer.
This also removes any need for generation sequence numbers since the
request lifetime is prevented from being reallocated as a new sequence
while timeout handling is operating on it.
To enables this a refcount is added to struct request so that request
users can be sure they're operating on the same request without it
changing while they're processing it. The request's tag won't be
released for reuse until both the timeout handler and the completion
are done with it.

blk_insert_cloned_request() is called in the fast path of a dm-rq driver
(e.g. blk-mq request-based DM mpath). blk_insert_cloned_request() uses
blk_mq_request_bypass_insert() to directly append the request to the
blk-mq hctx->dispatch_list of the underlying queue.
1) This way isn't efficient enough because the hctx spinlock is always
used.
2) With blk_insert_cloned_request(), we completely bypass underlying
queue's elevator and depend on the upper-level dm-rq driver's elevator
to schedule IO. But dm-rq currently can't get the underlying queue's
dispatch feedback at all. Without knowing whether a request was issued
or not (e.g. due to underlying queue being busy) the dm-rq elevator will
not be able to provide effective IO merging (as a side-effect of dm-rq
currently blindly destaging a request from its elevator only to requeue
it after a delay, which kills any opportunity for merging). This
obviously causes very bad sequential IO performance.
Fix this by updating blk_insert_cloned_request() to use
blk_mq_request_direct_issue(). blk_mq_request_direct_issue() allows a
request to be issued directly to the underlying queue and returns the
dispatch feedback (blk_status_t). If blk_mq_request_direct_issue()
returns BLK_SYS_RESOURCE the dm-rq driver will now use DM_MAPIO_REQUEUE
to _not_ destage the request. Whereby preserving the opportunity to
merge IO.
With this, request-based DM's blk-mq sequential IO performance is vastly
improved (as much as 3X in mpath/virtio-scsi testing).

With issue/complete and timeout paths now using the generation number

which depends on REQ_ATOM_COMPLETE for arbitrating completion.
There's no reason for blk_abort_request() to be a completely separate
path. This patch makes blk_abort_request() piggyback on the timeout
path instead of trying to terminate the request directly.
This removes the last dependency on REQ_ATOM_COMPLETE in blk-mq.
Note that this makes blk_abort_request() asynchronous - it initiates
abortion but the actual termination will happen after a short while,
even when the caller owns the request. AFAICS, SCSI and ATA should be
fine with that and I think mtip32xx and dasd should be safe but not
completely sure. It'd be great if people who know the drivers take a

Currently, blk-mq timeout path synchronizes against the usual
issue/completion path using a complex scheme involving atomic
bitflags, REQ_ATOM_*, memory barriers and subtle memory coherence
rules. Unfortunately, it contains quite a few holes.
There's a complex dancing around REQ_ATOM_STARTED and
REQ_ATOM_COMPLETE between issue/completion and timeout paths; however,
they don't have a synchronization point across request recycle
instances and it isn't clear what the barriers add.
blk_mq_check_expired() can easily read STARTED from N-2'th iteration,
deadline from N-1'th, blk_mark_rq_complete() against Nth instance.
In fact, it's pretty easy to make blk_mq_check_expired() terminate a
later instance of a request. If we induce 5 sec delay before
time_after_eq() test in blk_mq_check_expired(), shorten the timeout to
2s, and issue back-to-back large IOs, blk-mq starts timing out
requests spuriously pretty quickly. Nothing actually timed out. It
just made the call on a recycle instance of a request and then
terminated a later instance long after the original instance finished.
The scenario isn't theoretical either.
This patch replaces the broken synchronization mechanism with a RCU
and generation number based one.
1. Each request has a u64 generation + state value, which can be
updated only by the request owner. Whenever a request becomes
in-flight, the generation number gets bumped up too. This provides
the basis for the timeout path to distinguish different recycle
instances of the request.
Also, marking a request in-flight and setting its deadline are
protected with a seqcount so that the timeout path can fetch both
values coherently.
2. The timeout path fetches the generation, state and deadline. If
the verdict is timeout, it records the generation into a dedicated
request abortion field and does RCU wait.
3. The completion path is also protected by RCU (from the previous
patch) and checks whether the current generation number and state
match the abortion field. If so, it skips completion.
4. The timeout path, after RCU wait, scans requests again and
terminates the ones whose generation and state still match the ones
requested for abortion.
By now, the timeout path knows that either the generation number
and state changed if it lost the race or the completion will yield
to it and can safely timeout the request.
While it's more lines of code, it's conceptually simpler, doesn't
depend on direct use of subtle memory ordering or coherence, and
hopefully doesn't terminate the wrong instance.
While this change makes REQ_ATOM_COMPLETE synchronization unnecessary
between issue/complete and timeout paths, REQ_ATOM_COMPLETE isn't
removed yet as it's still used in other places. Future patches will
move all state tracking to the new mechanism and remove all bitops in
the hot paths.
Note that this patch adds a comment explaining a race condition in
BLK_EH_RESET_TIMER path. The race has always been there and this
patch doesn't change it. It's just documenting the existing race.
v2: - Fixed BLK_EH_RESET_TIMER handling as pointed out by Jianchao.
- s/request->gstate_seqc/request->gstate_seq/ as suggested by Peter.
- READ_ONCE() added in blk_mq_rq_update_state() as suggested by Peter.
v3: - Fixed possible extended seqcount / u64_stats_sync read looping
spotted by Peter.
- MQ_RQ_IDLE was incorrectly being set in complete_request instead
of free_request. Fixed.
v4: - Rebased on top of hctx_lock() refactoring patch.
- Added comment explaining the use of hctx_lock() in completion path.
v5: - Added comments requested by Bart.
- Note the addition of BLK_EH_RESET_TIMER race condition in the
commit message.

Currently we are inconsistent in when we decide to run the queue. Using
blk_mq_run_hw_queues() we check if the hctx has pending IO before
running it, but we don't do that from the individual queue run function,
blk_mq_run_hw_queue(). This results in a lot of extra and pointless
queue runs, potentially, on flush requests and (much worse) on tag
starvation situations. This is observable just looking at top output,
with lots of kworkers active. For the !async runs, it just adds to the
CPU overhead of blk-mq.
Move the has-pending check into the run function instead of having
callers do it.

It is enough to just check if we can get the budget via .get_budget().
And we don't need to deal with device state change in .get_budget().
For SCSI, one issue to be fixed is that we have to call
scsi_mq_uninit_cmd() to free allocated ressources if SCSI device fails
to handle the request. And it isn't enough to simply call
blk_mq_end_request() to do that if this request is marked as
RQF_DONTPREP.

Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which
makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license.
By default all files without license information are under the default
license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2.
Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0'
SPDX license identifier. The SPDX identifier is a legally binding
shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text.
This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and
Philippe Ombredanne.
How this work was done:
Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of
the use cases:
- file had no licensing information it it.
- file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it,
- file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information,
Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases
where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license
had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords.
The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to
a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the
output of two independent scanners (ScanCode & Windriver) producing SPDX
tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne. Philippe prepared the
base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files.
The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files
assessed. Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner
results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s)
to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not
immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.
Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was:
- Files considered eligible had to be source code files.
- Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained >5
lines of source
- File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if <5
lines).
All documentation files were explicitly excluded.
The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license
identifiers to apply.
- when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was
considered to have no license information in it, and the top level
COPYING file license applied.
For non */uapi/* files that summary was:
SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|-------
GPL-2.0 11139
and resulted in the first patch in this series.
If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH
Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0". Results of that was:
SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|-------
GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 930
and resulted in the second patch in this series.
- if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one
of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if
any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in
it (per prior point). Results summary:
SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|------
GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 270
GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 169
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause) 21
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 17
LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 15
GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 14
((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 5
LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 4
LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note 3
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT) 3
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT) 1
and that resulted in the third patch in this series.
- when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became
the concluded license(s).
- when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a
license but the other didn't, or they both detected different
licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred.
- In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file
resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and
which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics).
- When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was
confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.
- If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier,
the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later
in time.
In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the
spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the
source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation
by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.
Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from
FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners
disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights. The
Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so
they are related.
Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets
for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the
files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks
in about 15000 files.
In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have
copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the
correct identifier.
Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual
inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch
version early this week with:
- a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected
license ids and scores
- reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+
files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct
- reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license
was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied
SPDX license was correct
This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction. This
worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the
different types of files to be modified.
These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg. Thomas wrote a script to
parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the
format that the file expected. This script was further refined by Greg
based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to
distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different
comment types.) Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to
generate the patches.

SCSI devices use host-wide tagset, and the shared driver tag space is
often quite big. However, there is also a queue depth for each lun(
.cmd_per_lun), which is often small, for example, on both lpfc and
qla2xxx, .cmd_per_lun is just 3.
So lots of requests may stay in sw queue, and we always flush all
belonging to same hw queue and dispatch them all to driver.
Unfortunately it is easy to cause queue busy because of the small
.cmd_per_lun. Once these requests are flushed out, they have to stay in
hctx->dispatch, and no bio merge can happen on these requests, and
sequential IO performance is harmed.
This patch introduces blk_mq_dequeue_from_ctx for dequeuing a request
from a sw queue, so that we can dispatch them in scheduler's way. We can
then avoid dequeueing too many requests from sw queue, since we don't
flush ->dispatch completely.
This patch improves dispatching from sw queue by using the .get_budget
and .put_budget callbacks.

For SCSI devices, there is often a per-request-queue depth, which needs
to be respected before queuing one request.
Currently blk-mq always dequeues the request first, then calls
.queue_rq() to dispatch the request to lld. One obvious issue with this
approach is that I/O merging may not be successful, because when the
per-request-queue depth can't be respected, .queue_rq() has to return
BLK_STS_RESOURCE, and then this request has to stay in hctx->dispatch
list. This means it never gets a chance to be merged with other IO.
This patch introduces .get_budget and .put_budget callback in blk_mq_ops,
then we can try to get reserved budget first before dequeuing request.
If the budget for queueing I/O can't be satisfied, we don't need to
dequeue request at all. Hence the request can be left in the IO
scheduler queue, for more merging opportunities.

A NULL pointer crash was reported for the case of having the BFQ IO
scheduler attached to the underlying blk-mq paths of a DM multipath
device. The crash occured in blk_mq_sched_insert_request()'s call to
e->type->ops.mq.insert_requests().
Paolo Valente correctly summarized why the crash occured with:
"the call chain (dm_mq_queue_rq -> map_request -> setup_clone ->
blk_rq_prep_clone) creates a cloned request without invoking
e->type->ops.mq.prepare_request for the target elevator e. The cloned
request is therefore not initialized for the scheduler, but it is
however inserted into the scheduler by blk_mq_sched_insert_request."
All said, a request-based DM multipath device's IO scheduler should be
the only one used -- when the original requests are issued to the
underlying paths as cloned requests they are inserted directly in the
underlying dispatch queue(s) rather than through an additional elevator.
But commit bd166ef18 ("blk-mq-sched: add framework for MQ capable IO
schedulers") switched blk_insert_cloned_request() from using
blk_mq_insert_request() to blk_mq_sched_insert_request(). Which
incorrectly added elevator machinery into a call chain that isn't
supposed to have any.
To fix this introduce a blk-mq private blk_mq_request_bypass_insert()
that blk_insert_cloned_request() calls to insert the request without
involving any elevator that may be attached to the cloned request's
request_queue.

Pull irq updates from Thomas Gleixner:
"The irq department delivers:
- Expand the generic infrastructure handling the irq migration on CPU
hotplug and convert X86 over to it. (Thomas Gleixner)
Aside of consolidating code this is a preparatory change for:
- Finalizing the affinity management for multi-queue devices. The
main change here is to shut down interrupts which are affine to a
outgoing CPU and reenabling them when the CPU comes online again.
That avoids moving interrupts pointlessly around and breaking and
reestablishing affinities for no value. (Christoph Hellwig)
Note: This contains also the BLOCK-MQ and NVME changes which depend
on the rework of the irq core infrastructure. Jens acked them and
agreed that they should go with the irq changes.

- State tracking consolidation in the core code (Jeffy Chen)
- Add debug infrastructure for hierarchical irq domains (Thomas
