2019-06-06block: free sched's request pool in blk_cleanup_queueMing Lei
In theory, IO scheduler belongs to request queue, and the request pool of sched tags belongs to the request queue too. However, the current tags allocation interfaces are re-used for both driver tags and sched tags, and driver tags is definitely host wide, and doesn't belong to any request queue, same with its request pool. So we need tagset instance for freeing request of sched tags. Meantime, blk_mq_free_tag_set() often follows blk_cleanup_queue() in case of non-BLK_MQ_F_TAG_SHARED, this way requires that request pool of sched tags to be freed before calling blk_mq_free_tag_set(). Commit 47cdee29ef9d94e ("block: move blk_exit_queue into __blk_release_queue") moves blk_exit_queue into __blk_release_queue for simplying the fast path in generic_make_request(), then causes oops during freeing requests of sched tags in __blk_release_queue(). Fix the above issue by move freeing request pool of sched tags into blk_cleanup_queue(), this way is safe becasue queue has been frozen and no any in-queue requests at that time. Freeing sched tags has to be kept in queue's release handler becasue there might be un-completed dispatch activity which might refer to sched tags.

2018-12-17block: mq-deadline: Fix write completion handlingDamien Le Moal
For a zoned block device using mq-deadline, if a write request for a zone is received while another write was already dispatched for the same zone, dd_dispatch_request() will return NULL and the newly inserted write request is kept in the scheduler queue waiting for the ongoing zone write to complete. With this behavior, when no other request has been dispatched, rq_list in blk_mq_sched_dispatch_requests() is empty and blk_mq_sched_mark_restart_hctx() not called. This in turn leads to __blk_mq_free_request() call of blk_mq_sched_restart() to not run the queue when the already dispatched write request completes. The newly dispatched request stays stuck in the scheduler queue until eventually another request is submitted. This problem does not affect SCSI disk as the SCSI stack handles queue restart on request completion. However, this problem is can be triggered the nullblk driver with zoned mode enabled. Fix this by always requesting a queue restart in dd_dispatch_request() if no request was dispatched while WRITE requests are queued.

Currently, when update nr_hw_queues, IO scheduler's init_hctx will be invoked before the mapping between ctx and hctx is adapted correctly by blk_mq_map_swqueue. The IO scheduler init_hctx (kyber) may depend on this mapping and get wrong result and panic finally. A simply way to fix this is that switch the IO scheduler to 'none' before update the nr_hw_queues, and then switch it back after update nr_hw_queues. blk_mq_sched_init_/exit_hctx are removed due to nobody use them any more.

2017-11-02License cleanup: add SPDX GPL-2.0 license identifier to files with no licenseGreg Kroah-Hartman
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.

2017-06-21blk-mq: fix performance regression with shared tagsJens Axboe
If we have shared tags enabled, then every IO completion will trigger a full loop of every queue belonging to a tag set, and every hardware queue for each of those queues, even if nothing needs to be done. This causes a massive performance regression if you have a lot of shared devices. Instead of doing this huge full scan on every IO, add an atomic counter to the main queue that tracks how many hardware queues have been marked as needing a restart. With that, we can avoid looking for restartable queues, if we don't have to. Max reports that this restores performance. Before this patch, 4K IOPS was limited to 22-23K IOPS. With the patch, we are running at 950-970K IOPS.

In blk_mq_sched_dispatch_requests(), we call blk_mq_sched_mark_restart() after we dispatch requests left over on our hardware queue dispatch list. This is so we'll go back and dispatch requests from the scheduler. In this case, it's only necessary to restart the hardware queue that we are running; there's no reason to run other hardware queues just because we are using shared tags. So, split out blk_mq_sched_mark_restart() into two operations, one for just the hardware queue and one for the whole request queue. The core code only needs the hctx variant, but I/O schedulers will want to use both. This also requires adjusting blk_mq_sched_restart_queues() to always check the queue restart flag, not just when using shared tags.

2017-02-03block: free merged request in the callerJens Axboe
If we end up doing a request-to-request merge when we have completed a bio-to-request merge, we free the request from deep down in that path. For blk-mq-sched, the merge path has to hold the appropriate lock, but we don't need it for freeing the request. And in fact holding the lock is problematic, since we are now calling the mq sched put_rq_private() hook with the lock held. Other call paths do not hold this lock. Fix this inconsistency by ensuring that the caller frees a merged request. Then we can do it outside of the lock, making it both more efficient and fixing the blk-mq-sched problem of invoking parts of the scheduler with an unknown lock state.
