2016-12-09block: improve handling of the magic discard payloadChristoph Hellwig
Instead of allocating a single unused biovec for discard requests, send them down without any payload. Instead we allow the driver to add a "special" payload using a biovec embedded into struct request (unioned over other fields never used while in the driver), and overloading the number of segments for this case. This has a couple of advantages: - we don't have to allocate the bio_vec - the amount of special casing for discard requests in the block layer is significantly reduced - using this same scheme for other request types is trivial, which will be important for implementing the new WRITE_ZEROES op on devices where it actually requires a payload (e.g. SCSI) - we can get rid of playing games with the request length, as we'll never touch it and completions will work just fine - it will allow us to support ranged discard operations in the future by merging non-contiguous discard bios into a single request - last but not least it removes a lot of code This patch is the common base for my WIP series for ranges discards and to remove discard_zeroes_data in favor of always using REQ_OP_WRITE_ZEROES, so it would be good to get it in quickly.

2016-12-01block: add support for REQ_OP_WRITE_ZEROESChaitanya Kulkarni
This adds a new block layer operation to zero out a range of LBAs. This allows to implement zeroing for devices that don't use either discard with a predictable zero pattern or WRITE SAME of zeroes. The prominent example of that is NVMe with the Write Zeroes command, but in the future, this should also help with improving the way zeroing discards work. For this operation, suitable entry is exported in sysfs which indicate the number of maximum bytes allowed in one write zeroes operation by the device.

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.

2016-08-07block: rename bio bi_rw to bi_opfJens Axboe
Since commit 63a4cc24867d, bio->bi_rw contains flags in the lower portion and the op code in the higher portions. This means that old code that relies on manually setting bi_rw is most likely going to be broken. Instead of letting that brokeness linger, rename the member, to force old and out-of-tree code to break at compile time instead of at runtime. No intended functional changes in this commit.

2016-08-04block: add missing group association in bio-cloning functionsPaolo Valente
When a bio is cloned, the newly created bio must be associated with the same blkcg as the original bio (if BLK_CGROUP is enabled). If this operation is not performed, then the new bio is not associated with any group, and the group of the current task is returned when the group of the bio is requested. Depending on the cloning frequency, this may cause a large percentage of the bios belonging to a given group to be treated as if belonging to other groups (in most cases as if belonging to the root group). The expected group isolation may thereby be broken. This commit adds the missing association in bio-cloning functions.

2016-05-05block: make bio_inc_remaining() interface accessible againMike Snitzer
Commit 326e1dbb57 ("block: remove management of bi_remaining when restoring original bi_end_io") made bio_inc_remaining() private to bio.c because the only use-case that made sense was confined to the bio_chain() interface. Since that time DM thinp went on to use bio_chain() in its relatively complex implementation of async discard support. That implementation, even when converted over to use the new async __blkdev_issue_discard() interface, depends on deferred completion of the original discard bio -- which is most appropriately implemented using bio_inc_remaining(). DM thinp foolishly duplicated bio_inc_remaining(), local to dm-thin.c as __bio_inc_remaining(), so re-exporting bio_inc_remaining() allows us to put an end to that foolishness. All said, bio_inc_remaining() should really only be used in conjunction with bio_chain(). It isn't intended for generic bio reference counting.

2016-04-04mm, fs: get rid of PAGE_CACHE_* and page_cache_{get,release} macrosKirill A. Shutemov
PAGE_CACHE_{SIZE,SHIFT,MASK,ALIGN} macros were introduced *long* time ago with promise that one day it will be possible to implement page cache with bigger chunks than PAGE_SIZE. This promise never materialized. And unlikely will. We have many places where PAGE_CACHE_SIZE assumed to be equal to PAGE_SIZE. And it's constant source of confusion on whether PAGE_CACHE_* or PAGE_* constant should be used in a particular case, especially on the border between fs and mm. Global switching to PAGE_CACHE_SIZE != PAGE_SIZE would cause to much breakage to be doable. Let's stop pretending that pages in page cache are special. They are not. The changes are pretty straight-forward: - <foo> << (PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT - PAGE_SHIFT) -> <foo>; - <foo> >> (PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT - PAGE_SHIFT) -> <foo>; - PAGE_CACHE_{SIZE,SHIFT,MASK,ALIGN} -> PAGE_{SIZE,SHIFT,MASK,ALIGN}; - page_cache_get() -> get_page(); - page_cache_release() -> put_page(); This patch contains automated changes generated with coccinelle using script below. For some reason, coccinelle doesn't patch header files. I've called spatch for them manually. The only adjustment after coccinelle is revert of changes to PAGE_CAHCE_ALIGN definition: we are going to drop it later. There are few places in the code where coccinelle didn't reach. I'll fix them manually in a separate patch. Comments and documentation also will be addressed with the separate patch. virtual patch @@ expression E; @@ - E << (PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT - PAGE_SHIFT) + E @@ expression E; @@ - E >> (PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT - PAGE_SHIFT) + E @@ @@ - PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT + PAGE_SHIFT @@ @@ - PAGE_CACHE_SIZE + PAGE_SIZE @@ @@ - PAGE_CACHE_MASK + PAGE_MASK @@ expression E; @@ - PAGE_CACHE_ALIGN(E) + PAGE_ALIGN(E) @@ expression E; @@ - page_cache_get(E) + get_page(E) @@ expression E; @@ - page_cache_release(E) + put_page(E) Signed-off-by: Kirill A.

2016-02-12bio: return EINTR if copying to user space got interruptedHannes Reinecke
Commit 35dc248383bbab0a7203fca4d722875bc81ef091 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.

2015-11-06mm, page_alloc: distinguish between being unable to sleep, unwilling to ↵Mel Gorman
sleep and avoiding waking kswapd __GFP_WAIT has been used to identify atomic context in callers that hold spinlocks or are in interrupts. They are expected to be high priority and have access one of two watermarks lower than "min" which can be referred to as the "atomic reserve". __GFP_HIGH users get access to the first lower watermark and can be called the "high priority reserve". Over time, callers had a requirement to not block when fallback options were available. Some have abused __GFP_WAIT leading to a situation where an optimisitic allocation with a fallback option can access atomic reserves. This patch uses __GFP_ATOMIC to identify callers that are truely atomic, cannot sleep and have no alternative. High priority users continue to use __GFP_HIGH. __GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM identifies callers that can sleep and are willing to enter direct reclaim. __GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM to identify callers that want to wake kswapd for background reclaim. __GFP_WAIT is redefined as a caller that is willing to enter direct reclaim and wake kswapd for background reclaim. This patch then converts a number of sites o __GFP_ATOMIC is used by callers that are high priority and have memory pools for those requests. GFP_ATOMIC uses this flag. o Callers that have a limited mempool to guarantee forward progress clear __GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM but keep __GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM. bio allocations fall into this category where kswapd will still be woken but atomic reserves are not used as there is a one-entry mempool to guarantee progress. o Callers that are checking if they are non-blocking should use the helper gfpflags_allow_blocking() where possible. This is because checking for __GFP_WAIT as was done historically now can trigger false positives. Some exceptions like dm-crypt.c exist where the code intent is clearer if __GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM is used instead of the helper due to flag manipulations. o Callers that built their own GFP flags instead of starting with GFP_KERNEL and friends now also need to specify __GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM. The first key hazard to watch out for is callers that removed __GFP_WAIT and was depending on access to atomic reserves for inconspicuous reasons. In some cases it may be appropriate for them to use __GFP_HIGH. The second key hazard is callers that assembled their own combination of GFP flags instead of starting with something like GFP_KERNEL. They may now wish to specify __GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM. It's almost certainly harmless if it's missed in most cases as other activity will wake kswapd.

Series 2 is is a set of updates for the CFQ cgroup writeback handling: cfq has always charged all async IOs to the root cgroup. It didn't have much choice as writeback didn't know about cgroups and there was no way to tell who to blame for a given writeback IO. writeback finally grew support for cgroups and now tags each writeback IO with the appropriate cgroup to charge it against. This patchset updates cfq so that it follows the blkcg each bio is tagged with. Async cfq_queues are now shared across cfq_group, which is per-cgroup, instead of per-request_queue cfq_data.

2015-08-18blkcg: rename subsystem name from blkio to ioTejun Heo
blkio interface has become messy over time and is currently the largest. In addition to the inconsistent naming scheme, it has multiple stat files which report more or less the same thing, a number of debug stat files which expose internal details which shouldn't have been part of the public interface in the first place, recursive and non-recursive stats and leaf and non-leaf knobs. Both recursive vs. non-recursive and leaf vs. non-leaf distinctions don't make any sense on the unified hierarchy as only leaf cgroups can contain processes. cgroups is going through a major interface revision with the unified hierarchy involving significant fundamental usage changes and given that a significant portion of the interface doesn't make sense anymore, it's a good time to reorganize the interface. As the first step, this patch renames the external visible subsystem name from "blkio" to "io". This is more concise, matches the other two major subsystem names, "cpu" and "memory", and better suited as blkcg will be involved in anything writeback related too whether an actual block device is involved or not. As the subsystem legacy_name is set to "blkio", the only userland visible change outside the unified hierarchy is that blkcg is reported as "io" instead of "blkio" in the subsystem initialized message during boot. On the unified hierarchy, blkcg now appears as "io".

2015-08-13block: simplify bio_add_page()Kent Overstreet
Since generic_make_request() can now handle arbitrary size bios, all we have to do is make sure the bvec array doesn't overflow. __bio_add_page() doesn't need to call ->merge_bvec_fn(), where we can get rid of unnecessary code paths. Removing the call to ->merge_bvec_fn() is also fine, as no driver that implements support for BLOCK_PC commands even has a ->merge_bvec_fn() method.

2015-07-29block: manipulate bio->bi_flags through helpersJens Axboe
Some places use helpers now, others don't. We only have the 'is set' helper, add helpers for setting and clearing flags too. It was a bit of a mess of atomic vs non-atomic access. With BIO_UPTODATE gone, we don't have any risk of concurrent access to the flags. So relax the restriction and don't make any of them atomic. The flags that do have serialization issues (reffed and chained), we already handle those separately. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@fb.com>
2015-07-29block: add a bi_error field to struct bioChristoph Hellwig
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.

2015-07-23block: Do a full clone when splitting discard biosMartin K. Petersen
This fixes a data corruption bug when using discard on top of MD linear, raid0 and raid10 personalities. Commit 20d0189b1012 "block: Introduce new bio_split()" permits sharing the bio_vec between the two resulting bios. That is fine for read/write requests where the bio_vec is immutable. For discards, however, we need to be able to attach a payload and update the bio_vec so the page can get mapped to a scatterlist entry. Therefore the bio_vec can not be shared when splitting discards and we must do a full clone. Signed-off-by: Martin K.

2015-05-22block: remove management of bi_remaining when restoring original bi_end_ioMike Snitzer
Commit c4cf5261 ("bio: skip atomic inc/dec of ->bi_remaining for non-chains") regressed all existing callers that followed this pattern: 1) saving a bio's original bi_end_io 2) wiring up an intermediate bi_end_io 3) restoring the original bi_end_io from intermediate bi_end_io 4) calling bio_endio() to execute the restored original bi_end_io The regression was due to BIO_CHAIN only ever getting set if bio_inc_remaining() is called. For the above pattern it isn't set until step 3 above (step 2 would've needed to establish BIO_CHAIN). As such the first bio_endio(), in step 2 above, never decremented __bi_remaining before calling the intermediate bi_end_io -- leaving __bi_remaining with the value 1 instead of 0. When bio_inc_remaining() occurred during step 3 it brought it to a value of 2. When the second bio_endio() was called, in step 4 above, it should've called the original bi_end_io but it didn't because there was an extra reference that wasn't dropped (due to atomic operations being optimized away since BIO_CHAIN wasn't set upfront). Fix this issue by removing the __bi_remaining management complexity for all callers that use the above pattern -- bio_chain() is the only interface that _needs_ to be concerned with __bi_remaining. For the above pattern callers just expect the bi_end_io they set to get called! Remove bio_endio_nodec() and also remove all bio_inc_remaining() calls that aren't associated with the bio_chain() interface. Also, the bio_inc_remaining() interface has been moved local to bio.c.

2015-05-05bio: skip atomic inc/dec of ->bi_cnt for most use casesJens Axboe
Struct bio has a reference count that controls when it can be freed. Most uses cases is allocating the bio, which then returns with a single reference to it, doing IO, and then dropping that single reference. We can remove this atomic_dec_and_test() in the completion path, if nobody else is holding a reference to the bio. If someone does call bio_get() on the bio, then we flag the bio as now having valid count and that we must properly honor the reference count when it's being put.

2015-05-05bio: skip atomic inc/dec of ->bi_remaining for non-chainsJens Axboe
Struct bio has an atomic ref count for chained bio's, and we use this to know when to end IO on the bio. However, most bio's are not chained, so we don't need to always introduce this atomic operation as part of ending IO. Add a helper to elevate the bi_remaining count, and flag the bio as now actually needing the decrement at end_io time. Rename the field to __bi_remaining to catch any current users of this doing the incrementing manually. For high IOPS workloads, this reduces the overhead of bio_endio() substantially.

2014-12-11bio: modify __bio_add_page() to accept pages that don't start a new segmentMaurizio Lombardi
The original behaviour is to refuse to add a new page if the maximum number of segments has been reached, regardless of the fact the page we are going to add can be merged into the last segment or not. Unfortunately, when the system runs under heavy memory fragmentation conditions, a driver may try to add multiple pages to the last segment. The original code won't accept them and EBUSY will be reported to userspace. This patch modifies the function so it refuses to add a page only in case the latter starts a new segment and the maximum number of segments has already been reached. The bug can be easily reproduced with the st driver: 1) set CONFIG_SCSI_MPT2SAS_MAX_SGE or CONFIG_SCSI_MPT3SAS_MAX_SGE to 16 2) modprobe st buffer_kbs=1024 3) #dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/st0 bs=1M count=10 dd: error writing `/dev/st0': Device or resource busy Signed-off-by: Maurizio Lombardi <mlombard@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Ming Lei <ming.lei@canonical.com> Cc: Jet Chen <jet.chen@intel.com> Cc: Tomas Henzl <thenzl@redhat.com> Cc: Jens Axboe <axboe@kernel.dk> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@fb.com>
