Ming Lei df60f6e835 blk-wbt: fix IO hang in wbt_wait()
On wbt invariant is that if one IO is tracked via WBT_TRACKED, rqw->inflight
should be updated for tracking this IO.

But commit c1c80384c8 ("block: remove external dependency on wbt_flags")
forgets to remove the early handling of !rwb_enabled(rwb) inside wbt_wait(),
then the inflight counter may not be increased in wbt_wait(), but decreased
in wbt_done() for this kind of IO, so this counter may become negative, then
wbt_wait() may wait forever.

This patch fixes the report in the following link:

Bart Van Assche b86d865cb1 blkcg: Make blkg_root_lookup() work for queues in bypass mode
For legacy queues the only call of blkg_root_lookup() happens after
bypass mode has been enabled. Since blkg_lookup() returns NULL for
queues in bypass mode, modify the blkg_root_lookup() such that it
no longer depends on bypass mode. Rename the function into
blk_queue_root_blkg() as suggested by Tejun.

Liu Bo 991f61fe7e Blk-throttle: reduce tail io latency when iops limit is enforced
When an application's iops has exceeded its cgroup's iops limit, surely it
is throttled and kernel will set a timer for dispatching, thus IO latency
includes the delay.

However, the dispatch delay which is calculated by the limit and the
elapsed jiffies is suboptimal.  As the dispatch delay is only calculated
once the application's iops is (iops limit + 1), it doesn't need to wait
any longer than the remaining time of the current slice.

The difference can be proved by the following fio job and cgroup iops
setting,
-----
$ echo 4 > /mnt/config/nullb/disk1/mbps    # limit nullb's bandwidth to 4MB/s for testing.
$ echo "253:1 riops=100 rbps=max" > /sys/fs/cgroup/unified/cg1/io.max

Bart Van Assche 24ecc35853 block: Ensure that a request queue is dissociated from the cgroup controller
Several block drivers call alloc_disk() followed by put_disk() if
something fails before device_add_disk() is called without calling
blk_cleanup_queue(). Make sure that also for this scenario a request
queue is dissociated from the cgroup controller. This patch avoids
that loading the parport_pc, paride and pf drivers triggers the
following kernel crash:

Jianchao Wang d263ed9926 blk-mq: count the hctx as active before allocating tag
Currently, we count the hctx as active after allocate driver tag
successfully. If a previously inactive hctx try to get tag first
time, it may fails and need to wait. However, due to the stale tag
->active_queues, the other shared-tags users are still able to
occupy all driver tags while there is someone waiting for tag.
Consequently, even if the previously inactive hctx is waked up, it
still may not be able to get a tag and could be starved.

To fix it, we count the hctx as active before try to allocate driver
tag, then when it is waiting the tag, the other shared-tag users
will reserve budget for it.

Greg Edwards d6c02a9beb block: bvec_nr_vecs() returns value for wrong slab
In commit ed996a52c8 ("block: simplify and cleanup bvec pool
handling"), the value of the slab index is incremented by one in
bvec_alloc() after the allocation is done to indicate an index value of
0 does not need to be later freed.

bvec_nr_vecs() was not updated accordingly, and thus returns the wrong
value.  Decrement idx before performing the lookup.

Anchal Agarwal 2887e41b91 blk-wbt: Avoid lock contention and thundering herd issue in wbt_wait
I am currently running a large bare metal instance (i3.metal)
on EC2 with 72 cores, 512GB of RAM and NVME drives, with a
4.18 kernel. I have a workload that simulates a database
workload and I am running into lockup issues when writeback
throttling is enabled,with the hung task detector also
kicking in.

Crash dumps show that most CPUs (up to 50 of them) are
all trying to get the wbt wait queue lock while trying to add
themselves to it in __wbt_wait (see stack traces below).

In the original patch, wbt_done is waking up all the exclusive
processes in the wait queue, which can cause a thundering herd
if there is a large number of writer threads in the queue. The
original intention of the code seems to be to wake up one thread
only however, it uses wake_up_all() in __wbt_done(), and then
uses the following check in __wbt_wait to have only one thread
actually get out of the wait loop:

if (waitqueue_active(&rqw->wait) &&
            rqw->wait.head.next != &wait->entry)
                return false;

The problem with this is that the wait entry in wbt_wait is
define with DEFINE_WAIT, which uses the autoremove wakeup function.
That means that the above check is invalid - the wait entry will
have been removed from the queue already by the time we hit the
check in the loop.

Secondly, auto-removing the wait entries also means that the wait
queue essentially gets reordered "randomly" (e.g. threads re-add
themselves in the order they got to run after being woken up).
Additionally, new requests entering wbt_wait might overtake requests
that were queued earlier, because the wait queue will be
(temporarily) empty after the wake_up_all, so the waitqueue_active
check will not stop them. This can cause certain threads to starve
under high load.

The fix is to leave the woken up requests in the queue and remove
them in finish_wait() once the current thread breaks out of the
wait loop in __wbt_wait. This will ensure new requests always
end up at the back of the queue, and they won't overtake requests
that are already in the wait queue. With that change, the loop
in wbt_wait is also in line with many other wait loops in the kernel.
Waking up just one thread drastically reduces lock contention, as
does moving the wait queue add/remove out of the loop.

A significant drop in lockdep's lock contention numbers is seen when
running the test application on the patched kernel.

Ming Lei 75d6e175fc blk-mq: fix updating tags depth
The passed 'nr' from userspace represents the total depth, meantime
inside 'struct blk_mq_tags', 'nr_tags' stores the total tag depth,
and 'nr_reserved_tags' stores the reserved part.

There are two issues in blk_mq_tag_update_depth() now:

1) for growing tags, we should have used the passed 'nr', and keep the
number of reserved tags not changed.

2) the passed 'nr' should have been used for checking against
'tags->nr_tags', instead of number of the normal part.

This patch fixes the above two cases, and avoids kernel crash caused
by wrong resizing sbitmap queue.

Dennis Zhou (Facebook) c480bcf97b block: make iolatency avg_lat exponentially decay
Currently, avg_lat is calculated by accumulating the mean of every
window in a long running cumulative average. As time goes on, the metric
becomes less and less useful due to the accumulated history.

This patch reuses the same calculation done in load averages to make the
avg_lat metric more lively. Unlike load averages, the avg only advances
when a window elapses (due to an io). Idle periods extend the most
recent window. Bucketing is used to limit the history of avg_lat by
binding it to the window size. So, the window range for 1/exp (decay
rate) is [1 min, 2.5 min) when windows elapse immediately.

The current sample window size is exposed in the debug info to enable
calculation of the window range.

xiao jin 54648cf1ec block: blk_init_allocated_queue() set q->fq as NULL in the fail case
We find the memory use-after-free issue in __blk_drain_queue()
on the kernel 4.14. After read the latest kernel 4.18-rc6 we
think it has the same problem.

Memory is allocated for q->fq in the blk_init_allocated_queue().
If the elevator init function called with error return, it will
run into the fail case to free the q->fq.

Then the __blk_drain_queue() uses the same memory after the free
of the q->fq, it will lead to the unpredictable event.

The patch is to set q->fq as NULL in the fail case of
blk_init_allocated_queue().

Mauricio Faria de Oliveira 14cb2c8a6c partitions/aix: fix usage of uninitialized lv_info and lvname structures
The if-block that sets a successful return value in aix_partition()
uses 'lvip[].pps_per_lv' and 'n[].name' potentially uninitialized.

For example, if 'numlvs' is zero or alloc_lvn() fails, neither is
initialized, but are used anyway if alloc_pvd() succeeds after it.

So, make the alloc_pvd() call conditional on their initialization.

This has been hit when attaching an apparently corrupted/stressed
AIX LUN, misleading the kernel to pr_warn() invalid data and hang.

really annoying with multpath biovecs.  Fortunately there isn't any
all that good reason for it - once we decide to defer freeing the bio
to a workqueue holding onto a few additional pages isn't really an
issue anymore.  So just check if there is a clean page that needs
dirtying in the first path, and do a second pass to free them if there
was none, while the cache is still hot.

Also use the chance to micro-optimize bio_dirty_fn a bit by not saving
irq state - we know we are called from a workqueue.

Christoph Hellwig 28519c891c bsg: remove read/write support
The code poses a security risk due to user memory access in ->release
and had an API that can't be used reliably.  As far as we know it was
never used for real, but if that turns out wrong we'll have to revert
this commit and come up with a band aid.

Jann Horn did look software archives for users of this interface,
and the only users found were example code in sg3_utils, and optional
support in an optional module of the tgt user space iscsi target,
which looks like a proof of concept extension of the /dev/sg
read/write support.

Tony Battersby chimes in that the code is basically unsafe to use in
general:

  The read/write interface on /dev/bsg is impossible to use safely
  because the list of completed commands is per-device (bd->done_list)
  rather than per-fd like it is with /dev/sg.  So if program A and
  program B are both using the write/read interface on the same bsg
  device, then their command responses will get mixed up, and program
  A will read() some command results from program B and vice versa.
  So no, I don't use read/write on /dev/bsg.  From a security standpoint,
  it should definitely be fixed or removed.

Josef Bacik a284390b39 blk-iolatency: fix max_depth comparisons
max_depth used to be a u64, but I changed it to a unsigned int but

Arnd Bergmann 88b7210c81 block: iolatency: avoid 64-bit division
On 32-bit architectures, dividing a 64-bit number needs to use the
do_div() function or something like it to avoid a link failure:

block/blk-iolatency.o: In function `iolatency_prfill_limit':
blk-iolatency.c:(.text+0x8cc): undefined reference to `__aeabi_uldivmod'

Using div_u64() gives us the best output and avoids the need for an
explicit cast.

Mikulas Patocka b88aef36b8 block: fix infinite loop if the device loses discard capability
If __blkdev_issue_discard is in progress and a device mapper device is
reloaded with a table that doesn't support discard,
q->limits.max_discard_sectors is set to zero. This results in infinite
loop in __blkdev_issue_discard.

This patch checks if max_discard_sectors is zero and aborts with
-EOPNOTSUPP.

Josef Bacik d706751215 block: introduce blk-iolatency io controller
Current IO controllers for the block layer are less than ideal for our
use case.  The io.max controller is great at hard limiting, but it is
not work conserving.  This patch introduces io.latency.  You provide a
latency target for your group and we monitor the io in short windows to
make sure we are not exceeding those latency targets.  This makes use of
the rq-qos infrastructure and works much like the wbt stuff.  There are
a few differences from wbt

 - It's bio based, so the latency covers the whole block layer in addition to
   the actual io.
 - We will throttle all IO types that comes in here if we need to.
 - We use the mean latency over the 100ms window.  This is because writes can
   be particularly fast, which could give us a false sense of the impact of
   other workloads on our protected workload.
 - By default there's no throttling, we set the queue_depth to INT_MAX so that
   we can have as many outstanding bio's as we're allowed to.  Only at
   throttle time do we pay attention to the actual queue depth.
 - We backcharge cgroups for root cg issued IO and induce artificial
   delays in order to deal with cases like metadata only or swap heavy
   workloads.

In testing this has worked out relatively well.  Protected workloads
will throttle noisy workloads down to 1 io at time if they are doing
normal IO on their own, or induce up to a 1 second delay per syscall if
they are doing a lot of root issued IO (metadata/swap IO).

Our testing has revolved mostly around our production web servers where
we have hhvm (the web server application) in a protected group and
everything else in another group.  We see slightly higher requests per
second (RPS) on the test tier vs the control tier, and much more stable
RPS across all machines in the test tier vs the control tier.

Another test we run is a slow memory allocator in the unprotected group.
Before this would eventually push us into swap and cause the whole box
to die and not recover at all.  With these patches we see slight RPS
drops (usually 10-15%) before the memory consumer is properly killed and
things recover within seconds.

Josef Bacik d09d8df3a2 blkcg: add generic throttling mechanism
Since IO can be issued from literally anywhere it's almost impossible to
do throttling without having some sort of adverse effect somewhere else
in the system because of locking or other dependencies.  The best way to
solve this is to do the throttling when we know we aren't holding any
other kernel resources.  Do this by tracking throttling in a per-blkg
basis, and if we require throttling flag the task that it needs to check
before it returns to user space and possibly sleep there.

This is to address the case where a process is doing work that is
generating IO that can't be throttled, whether that is directly with a
lot of REQ_META IO, or indirectly by allocating so much memory that it
is swamping the disk with REQ_SWAP.  We can't use task_add_work as we
don't want to induce a memory allocation in the IO path, so simply
saving the request queue in the task and flagging it to do the
notify_resume thing achieves the same result without the overhead of a
memory allocation.
