2015-08-18blkcg: remove cfqg_stats->sectorsTejun Heo
cfq_stats->sectors is a blkg_stat which keeps track of the total number of sectors serviced; however, this can be trivially calculated from blkcg_gq->stat_bytes. The only thing necessary is adding up READs and WRITEs and then dividing by sector size. Remove cfqg_stats->sectors and make cfq print "sectors" and "sectors_recursive" from stat_bytes. While this is a bit more code, it removes duplicate stat allocations and updates and ensures that the reported stats stay in tune with each other.

2015-08-18blkcg: move io_service_bytes and io_serviced stats into blkcg_gqTejun Heo
Currently, both cfq-iosched and blk-throttle keep track of io_service_bytes and io_serviced stats. While keeping track of them separately may be useful during development, it doesn't make much sense otherwise. Also, blk-throttle was counting bio's as IOs while cfq-iosched request's, which is more confusing than informative. This patch adds ->stat_bytes and ->stat_ios to blkg (blkcg_gq), removes the counterparts from cfq-iosched and blk-throttle and let them print from the common blkg counters. The common counters are incremented during bio issue in blkcg_bio_issue_check(). The outputs are still filtered by whether the policy has blkg_policy_data on a given blkg, so cfq's output won't show up if it has never been used for a given blkg. The only times when the outputs would differ significantly are when policies are attached on the fly or elevators are switched back and forth. Those are quite exceptional operations and I don't think they warrant keeping separate counters. v3: Update blkio-controller.txt accordingly. v2: Account IOs during bio issues instead of request completions so that bio-based drivers can be handled the same way.

2015-08-18blkcg: make blkg_[rw]stat_recursive_sum() to be able to index into blkcg_gqTejun Heo
Currently, blkg_[rw]stat_recursive_sum() assume that the target counter is located in pd (blkg_policy_data); however, some counters are planned to be moved to blkg (blkcg_gq). This patch updates blkg_[rw]stat_recursive_sum() to take blkg and blkg_policy pointers instead of pd. If policy is NULL, it indexes into blkg. If non-NULL, into the blkg's pd of the policy. The existing usages are updated to maintain the current behaviors. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Cc: Vivek Goyal <vgoyal@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@fb.com>
2015-08-18blkcg: make blkcg_[rw]stat per-cpuTejun Heo
blkcg_[rw]stat are used as stat counters for blkcg policies. It isn't per-cpu by itself and blk-throttle makes it per-cpu by wrapping around it. This patch makes blkcg_[rw]stat per-cpu and drop the ad-hoc per-cpu wrapping in blk-throttle. * blkg_[rw]stat->cnt is replaced with cpu_cnt which is struct percpu_counter. This makes syncp unnecessary as remote accesses are handled by percpu_counter itself. * blkg_[rw]stat_init() can now fail due to percpu allocation failure and thus are updated to return int. * percpu_counters need explicit freeing. blkg_[rw]stat_exit() added. * As blkg_rwstat->cpu_cnt[] can't be read directly anymore, reading and summing results are stored in ->aux_cnt[] instead. * Custom per-cpu stat implementation in blk-throttle is removed. This makes all blkcg stat counters per-cpu without complicating policy implmentations.

2015-08-18blkcg: add blkg_[rw]stat->aux_cnt and replace cfq_group->dead_stats with itTejun Heo
cgroup stats are local to each cgroup and doesn't propagate to ancestors by default. When recursive stats are necessary, the sum is calculated over all the descendants. This initially was for backward compatibility to support both group-local and recursive stats but this mode of operation makes general sense as stat update is much hotter thafn reporting those stats. This however ends up losing recursive stats when a child is removed. To work around this, cfq-iosched adds its stats to its parent cfq_group->dead_stats which is summed up together when calculating recursive stats. It's planned that the core stats will be moved to blkcg_gq, so we want to move the mechanism for keeping track of the stats of dead children from cfq to blkcg core. This patch adds blkg_[rw]stat->aux_cnt which are atomic64_t's keeping track of auxiliary counts which are excluded when reading local counts but included for recursive. blkg_[rw]stat_merge() which were used by cfq to implement dead_stats are replaced by blkg_[rw]stat_add_aux(), and cfq now forwards stats of a dead cgroup to the aux counts of parent->stats instead of separate ->dead_stats. This will also help making blkg_[rw]stats per-cpu. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Cc: Vivek Goyal <vgoyal@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@fb.com>
2015-08-18blkcg: consolidate blkg creation in blkcg_bio_issue_check()Tejun Heo
blkg (blkcg_gq) currently is created by blkcg policies invoking blkg_lookup_create() which ends up repeating about the same code in different policies. Theoretically, this can avoid the overhead of looking and/or creating blkg's if blkcg is enabled but no policy is in use; however, the cost of blkg lookup / creation is very low especially if only the root blkcg is in use which is highly likely if no blkcg policy is in active use - it boils down to a single very predictable conditional and surrounding RCU protection. This patch consolidates blkg creation to a new function blkcg_bio_issue_check() which is called during bio issue from generic_make_request_checks(). blkcg_bio_issue_check() is now the only function which tries to create missing blkg's. The subsequent policy and request_list operations just perform blkg_lookup() and if missing falls back to the root. * blk_get_rl() no longer tries to create blkg. It uses blkg_lookup() instead of blkg_lookup_create(). * blk_throtl_bio() is now called from blkcg_bio_issue_check() with rcu read locked and blkg already looked up. Both throtl_lookup_tg() and throtl_lookup_create_tg() are dropped. * cfq is similarly updated. cfq_lookup_create_cfqg() is replaced with cfq_lookup_cfqg()which uses blkg_lookup(). This consolidates blkg handling and avoids unnecessary blkg creation retries under memory pressure. In addition, this provides a common bio entry point into blkcg where things like common accounting can be performed. v2: Build fixes for !CONFIG_CFQ_GROUP_IOSCHED and !CONFIG_BLK_DEV_THROTTLING.

2015-08-18blkcg: replace blkcg_policy->cpd_size with ->cpd_alloc/free_fn() methodsTejun Heo
Each active policy has a cpd (blkcg_policy_data) on each blkcg. The cpd's were allocated by blkcg core and each policy could request to allocate extra space at the end by setting blkcg_policy->cpd_size larger than the size of cpd. This is a bit unusual but blkg (blkcg_gq) policy data used to be handled this way too so it made sense to be consistent; however, blkg policy data switched to alloc/free callbacks. This patch makes similar changes to cpd handling. blkcg_policy->cpd_alloc/free_fn() are added to replace ->cpd_size. As cpd allocation is now done from policy side, it can simply allocate a larger area which embeds cpd at the beginning. As ->cpd_alloc_fn() may be able to perform all necessary initializations, this patch makes ->cpd_init_fn() optional.

2015-08-18blkcg: make blkcg_policy methods take a pointer to blkcg_policy_dataTejun Heo
The newly added ->pd_alloc_fn() and ->pd_free_fn() deal with pd (blkg_policy_data) while the older ones use blkg (blkcg_gq). As using blkg doesn't make sense for ->pd_alloc_fn() and after allocation pd can always be mapped to blkg and given that these are policy-specific methods, it makes sense to converge on pd. This patch makes all methods deal with pd instead of blkg. Most conversions are trivial. In blk-cgroup.c, a couple method invocation sites now test whether pd exists instead of policy state for consistency. This shouldn't cause any behavioral differences.

2015-08-18blkcg: replace blkcg_policy->pd_size with ->pd_alloc/free_fn() methodsTejun Heo
A blkg (blkcg_gq) represents the relationship between a cgroup and request_queue. Each active policy has a pd (blkg_policy_data) on each blkg. The pd's were allocated by blkcg core and each policy could request to allocate extra space at the end by setting blkcg_policy->pd_size larger than the size of pd. This is a bit unusual but was done this way mostly to simplify error handling and all the existing use cases could be handled this way; however, this is becoming too restrictive now that percpu memory can be allocated without blocking. This introduces two new mandatory blkcg_policy methods - pd_alloc_fn() and pd_free_fn() - which are used to allocate and release pd for a given policy. As pd allocation is now done from policy side, it can simply allocate a larger area which embeds pd at the beginning. This change makes ->pd_size pointless. Removed.

2015-08-18cfq-iosched: charge async IOs to the appropriate blkcg's instead of the rootTejun Heo
Up until now, all async IOs were queued to async queues which are shared across the whole request_queue, which means that blkcg resource control is completely void on async IOs including all writeback IOs. It was done this way because writeback didn't support writeback and there was no way of telling which writeback IO belonged to which cgroup; however, writeback recently became cgroup aware and writeback bio's are sent down properly tagged with the blkcg's to charge them against. This patch makes async cfq_queues per-cfq_cgroup instead of per-cfq_data so that each async IO is charged to the blkcg that it was tagged for instead of unconditionally attributing it to root. * cfq_data->async_cfqq and ->async_idle_cfqq are moved to cfq_group and alloc / destroy paths are updated accordingly. * cfq_link_cfqq_cfqg() no longer overrides @cfqg to root for async queues. * check_blkcg_changed() now also invalidates async queues as they no longer stay the same across cgroups. After this patch, cfq's proportional IO control through blkio.weight works correctly when cgroup writeback is in use.

2015-08-18cfq-iosched: fold cfq_find_alloc_queue() into cfq_get_queue()Tejun Heo
cfq_find_alloc_queue() checks whether a queue actually needs to be allocated, which is unnecessary as its sole caller, cfq_get_queue(), only calls it if so. Also, the oom queue fallback logic is scattered between cfq_get_queue() and cfq_find_alloc_queue(). There really isn't much going on in the latter and things can be made simpler by folding it into cfq_get_queue(). This patch collapses cfq_find_alloc_queue() into cfq_get_queue(). The change is fairly straight-forward with one exception - async_cfqq is now initialized to NULL and the "!is_sync" test in the last if conditional is replaced with "async_cfqq" test. This is because gcc (5.1.1) gets confused for some reason and warns that async_cfqq may be used uninitialized otherwise. Oh well, the code isn't necessarily worse this way. This patch doesn't cause any functional difference. v2: Updated to reflect GFP_ATOMIC -> GPF_NOWAIT.

2015-08-18cfq-iosched: remove @gfp_mask from cfq_find_alloc_queue()Tejun Heo
Even when allocations fail, cfq_find_alloc_queue() always returns a valid cfq_queue by falling back to the oom cfq_queue. As such, there isn't much point in taking @gfp_mask and trying "harder" if __GFP_WAIT is set. GFP_NOWAIT allocations don't fail often and even when they do the degraded behavior is acceptable and temporary. After all, the only reason get_request(), which ultimately determines the gfp_mask, cares about __GFP_WAIT is to guarantee request allocation, assuming IO forward progress, for callers which are willing to wait. There's no reason for cfq_find_alloc_queue() to behave differently on __GFP_WAIT when it already has a fallback mechanism. Remove @gfp_mask from cfq_find_alloc_queue() and propagate the changes to its callers. This simplifies the function quite a bit and will help making async queues per-cfq_group. v2: Updated to reflect GFP_ATOMIC -> GPF_NOWAIT.

2015-08-18cfq-iosched: fix async oom queue handlingTejun Heo
Async cfqq's (cfq_queue's) are shared across cfq_data. When cfq_get_queue() obtains a new queue from cfq_find_alloc_queue(), it stashes the pointer in cfq_data and reuses it from then on; however, the function doesn't consider that cfq_find_alloc_queue() may return the oom_cfqq under memory pressure and installs the returned queue unconditionally. If the oom_cfqq is installed as an async cfqq, cfq_set_request() will continue calling cfq_get_queue() hoping to replace it with a proper queue; however, cfq_get_queue() will keep returning the cached queue for the slot - the oom_cfqq.

2015-06-07block, cgroup: implement policy-specific per-blkcg dataArianna Avanzini
The block IO (blkio) controller enables the block layer to provide service guarantees in a hierarchical fashion. Specifically, service guarantees are provided by registered request-accounting policies. As of now, a proportional-share and a throttling policy are available. They are implemented, respectively, by the CFQ I/O scheduler and the blk-throttle subsystem. Unfortunately, as for adding new policies, the current implementation of the block IO controller is only halfway ready to allow new policies to be plugged in. This commit provides a solution to make the block IO controller fully ready to handle new policies. In what follows, we first describe briefly the current state, and then list the changes made by this commit. The throttling policy does not need any per-cgroup information to perform its task. In contrast, the proportional share policy uses, for each cgroup, both the weight assigned by the user to the cgroup, and a set of dynamically- computed weights, one for each device. The first, user-defined weight is stored in the blkcg data structure: the block IO controller allocates a private blkcg data structure for each cgroup in the blkio cgroups hierarchy (regardless of which policy is active). In other words, the block IO controller internally mirrors the blkio cgroups with private blkcg data structures. On the other hand, for each cgroup and device, the corresponding dynamically- computed weight is maintained in the following, different way. For each device, the block IO controller keeps a private blkcg_gq structure for each cgroup in blkio. In other words, block IO also keeps one private mirror copy of the blkio cgroups hierarchy for each device, made of blkcg_gq structures. Each blkcg_gq structure keeps per-policy information in a generic array of dynamically-allocated 'dedicated' data structures, one for each registered policy (so currently the array contains two elements). To be inserted into the generic array, each dedicated data structure embeds a generic blkg_policy_data structure. Consider now the array contained in the blkcg_gq structure corresponding to a given pair of cgroup and device: one of the elements of the array contains the dedicated data structure for the proportional-share policy, and this dedicated data structure contains the dynamically-computed weight for that pair of cgroup and device. The generic strategy adopted for storing per-policy data in blkcg_gq structures is already capable of handling new policies, whereas the one adopted with blkcg structures is not, because per-policy data are hard-coded in the blkcg structures themselves (currently only data related to the proportional- share policy). This commit addresses the above issues through the following changes: . It generalizes blkcg structures so that per-policy data are stored in the same way as in blkcg_gq structures. Specifically, it lets also the blkcg structure store per-policy data in a generic array of dynamically-allocated dedicated data structures. We will refer to these data structures as blkcg dedicated data structures, to distinguish them from the dedicated data structures inserted in the generic arrays kept by blkcg_gq structures. To allow blkcg dedicated data structures to be inserted in the generic array inside a blkcg structure, this commit also introduces a new blkcg_policy_data structure, which is the equivalent of blkg_policy_data for blkcg dedicated data structures. . It adds to the blkcg_policy structure, i.e., to the descriptor of a policy, a cpd_size field and a cpd_init field, to be initialized by the policy with, respectively, the size of the blkcg dedicated data structures, and the address of a constructor function for blkcg dedicated data structures. . It moves the CFQ-specific fields embedded in the blkcg data structure (i.e., the fields related to the proportional-share policy), into a new blkcg dedicated data structure called cfq_group_data.

CFQ idling causes reduced IOPS throughput on non-rotational disks. Since disk head seeking is not applicable to SSDs, it doesn't really help performance by anticipating future near-by IO requests. By turning off idling (and switching to IOPS mode), we allow other processes to dispatch IO requests down to the driver and so increase IO throughput. Following FIO benchmark results were taken on a cloud SSD offering with idling on and off: Idling iops avg-lat(ms) stddev bw ------------------------------------------------------ On 7054 90.107 38.697 28217KB/s Off 29255 21.836 11.730 117022KB/s fio --name=temp --size=100G --time_based --ioengine=libaio \ --randrepeat=0 --direct=1 --invalidate=1 --verify=0 \ --verify_fatal=0 --rw=randread --blocksize=4k --group_reporting=1 \ --filename=/dev/sdb --runtime=10 --iodepth=64 --numjobs=10 And the following is from a local SSD run: Idling iops avg-lat(ms) stddev bw ------------------------------------------------------ On 19320 33.043 14.068 77281KB/s Off 21626 29.465 12.662 86507KB/s fio --name=temp --size=5G --time_based --ioengine=libaio \ --randrepeat=0 --direct=1 --invalidate=1 --verify=0 \ --verify_fatal=0 --rw=randread --blocksize=4k --group_reporting=1 \ --filename=/fio_data --runtime=10 --iodepth=64 --numjobs=10 Reviewed-by: Nauman Rafique <nauman@google.com> Signed-off-by: Tahsin Erdogan <tahsin@google.com> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@fb.com>

2015-02-09cfq-iosched: handle failure of cfq group allocationKonstantin Khlebnikov
Cfq_lookup_create_cfqg() allocates struct blkcg_gq using GFP_ATOMIC. In cfq_find_alloc_queue() possible allocation failure is not handled. As a result kernel oopses on NULL pointer dereference when cfq_link_cfqq_cfqg() calls cfqg_get() for NULL pointer. Bug was introduced in v3.5 in commit cd1604fab4f9 ("blkcg: factor out blkio_group creation"). Prior to that commit cfq group lookup had returned pointer to root group as fallback. This patch handles this error using existing fallback oom_cfqq.

2015-01-21cfq-iosched: fix incorrect filing of rt async cfqqJeff Moyer
Hi, If you can manage to submit an async write as the first async I/O from the context of a process with realtime scheduling priority, then a cfq_queue is allocated, but filed into the wrong async_cfqq bucket. It ends up in the best effort array, but actually has realtime I/O scheduling priority set in cfqq->ioprio. The reason is that cfq_get_queue assumes the default scheduling class and priority when there is no information present (i.e. when the async cfqq is created): static struct cfq_queue * cfq_get_queue(struct cfq_data *cfqd, bool is_sync, struct cfq_io_cq *cic, struct bio *bio, gfp_t gfp_mask) { const int ioprio_class = IOPRIO_PRIO_CLASS(cic->ioprio); const int ioprio = IOPRIO_PRIO_DATA(cic->ioprio); cic->ioprio starts out as 0, which is "invalid". So, class of 0 (IOPRIO_CLASS_NONE) is passed to cfq_async_queue_prio like so: async_cfqq = cfq_async_queue_prio(cfqd, ioprio_class, ioprio); static struct cfq_queue ** cfq_async_queue_prio(struct cfq_data *cfqd, int ioprio_class, int ioprio) { switch (ioprio_class) { case IOPRIO_CLASS_RT: return &cfqd->async_cfqq[0][ioprio]; case IOPRIO_CLASS_NONE: ioprio = IOPRIO_NORM; /* fall through */ case IOPRIO_CLASS_BE: return &cfqd->async_cfqq[1][ioprio]; case IOPRIO_CLASS_IDLE: return &cfqd->async_idle_cfqq; default: BUG(); } } Here, instead of returning a class mapped from the process' scheduling priority, we get back the bucket associated with IOPRIO_CLASS_BE. Now, there is no queue allocated there yet, so we create it: cfqq = cfq_find_alloc_queue(cfqd, is_sync, cic, bio, gfp_mask); That function ends up doing this: cfq_init_cfqq(cfqd, cfqq, current->pid, is_sync); cfq_init_prio_data(cfqq, cic); cfq_init_cfqq marks the priority as having changed. Then, cfq_init_prio data does this: ioprio_class = IOPRIO_PRIO_CLASS(cic->ioprio); switch (ioprio_class) { default: printk(KERN_ERR "cfq: bad prio %x\n", ioprio_class); case IOPRIO_CLASS_NONE: /* * no prio set, inherit CPU scheduling settings */ cfqq->ioprio = task_nice_ioprio(tsk); cfqq->ioprio_class = task_nice_ioclass(tsk); break; So we basically have two code paths that treat IOPRIO_CLASS_NONE differently, which results in an RT async cfqq filed into a best effort bucket. Attached is a patch which fixes the problem. I'm not sure how to make it cleaner. Suggestions would be welcome.

2014-08-26cfq-iosched: Fix wrong children_weight calculationToshiaki Makita
cfq_group_service_tree_add() is applying new_weight at the beginning of the function via cfq_update_group_weight(). This actually allows weight to change between adding it to and subtracting it from children_weight, and triggers WARN_ON_ONCE() in cfq_group_service_tree_del(), or even causes oops by divide error during vfr calculation in cfq_group_service_tree_add(). The detailed scenario is as follows: 1. Create blkio cgroups X and Y as a child of X. Set X's weight to 500 and perform some I/O to apply new_weight. This X's I/O completes before starting Y's I/O. 2. Y starts I/O and cfq_group_service_tree_add() is called with Y. 3. cfq_group_service_tree_add() walks up the tree during children_weight calculation and adds parent X's weight (500) to children_weight of root. children_weight becomes 500. 4. Set X's weight to 1000. 5. X starts I/O and cfq_group_service_tree_add() is called with X. 6. cfq_group_service_tree_add() applies its new_weight (1000). 7. I/O of Y completes and cfq_group_service_tree_del() is called with Y. 8. I/O of X completes and cfq_group_service_tree_del() is called with X. 9. cfq_group_service_tree_del() subtracts X's weight (1000) from children_weight of root. children_weight becomes -500. This triggers WARN_ON_ONCE(). 10. Set X's weight to 500. 11. X starts I/O and cfq_group_service_tree_add() is called with X. 12. cfq_group_service_tree_add() applies its new_weight (500) and adds it to children_weight of root. children_weight becomes 0. Calcularion of vfr triggers oops by divide error. weight should be updated right before adding it to children_weight.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/cgroup Pull cgroup updates from Tejun Heo: "A lot updates for cgroup: - The biggest one is cgroup's conversion to kernfs. cgroup took after the long abandoned vfs-entangled sysfs implementation and made it even more convoluted over time. cgroup's internal objects were fused with vfs objects which also brought in vfs locking and object lifetime rules. Naturally, there are places where vfs rules don't fit and nasty hacks, such as credential switching or lock dance interleaving inode mutex and cgroup_mutex with object serial number comparison thrown in to decide whether the operation is actually necessary, needed to be employed. After conversion to kernfs, internal object lifetime and locking rules are mostly isolated from vfs interactions allowing shedding of several nasty hacks and overall simplification. This will also allow implmentation of operations which may affect multiple cgroups which weren't possible before as it would have required nesting i_mutexes. - Various simplifications including dropping of module support, easier cgroup name/path handling, simplified cgroup file type handling and task_cg_lists optimization. - Prepatory changes for the planned unified hierarchy, which is still a patchset away from being actually operational.

2014-02-11cgroup: update the meaning of cftype->max_write_lenTejun Heo
cftype->max_write_len is used to extend the maximum size of writes. It's interpreted in such a way that the actual maximum size is one less than the specified value. The default size is defined by CGROUP_LOCAL_BUFFER_SIZE. Its interpretation is quite confusing - its value is decremented by 1 and then compared for equality with max size, which means that the actual default size is CGROUP_LOCAL_BUFFER_SIZE - 2, which is 62 chars. There's no point in having a limit that low. Update its definition so that it means the actual string length sans termination and anything below PAGE_SIZE-1 is treated as PAGE_SIZE-1. .max_write_len for "release_agent" is updated to PATH_MAX-1 and cgroup_release_agent_write() is updated so that the redundant strlen() check is removed and it uses strlcpy() instead of strcpy(). .max_write_len initializations in blk-throttle.c and cfq-iosched.c are no longer necessary and removed. The one in cpuset is kept unchanged as it's an approximated value to begin with. This will also make transition to kernfs smoother.

This patch replaces cftype->read_seq_string() with cftype->seq_show() which is not limited to single_open() operation and will map directcly to kernfs seq_file interface. The conversions are mechanical. As ->seq_show() doesn't have @css and @cft, the functions which make use of them are converted to use seq_css() and seq_cft() respectively.

cgroup is currently in the process of transitioning to using struct cgroup_subsys_state * as the primary handle instead of struct cgroup. Please see the previous commit which converts the subsystem methods for rationale. This patch converts all cftype file operations to take @css instead of @cgroup. cftypes for the cgroup core files don't have their subsytem pointer set. These will automatically use the dummy_css added by the previous patch and can be converted the same way. Most subsystem conversions are straight forwards but there are some interesting ones. * freezer: update_if_frozen() is also converted to take @css instead of @cgroup for consistency. This will make the code look simpler too once iterators are converted to use css. * memory/vmpressure: mem_cgroup_from_css() needs to be exported to vmpressure while mem_cgroup_from_cont() can be made static. Updated accordingly. * cpu: cgroup_tg() doesn't have any user left. Removed. * cpuacct: cgroup_ca() doesn't have any user left. Removed. * hugetlb: hugetlb_cgroup_form_cgroup() doesn't have any user left. Removed. * net_cls: cgrp_cls_state() doesn't have any user left. Removed.

There's a race between elevator switching and normal io operation.

For example: Thread A: Thread B blk_queu_bio elevator_switch spin_lock_irq(q->queue_block) elevator_alloc elv_merge elevator_init_fn Because call elevator_alloc, it can't hold queue_lock and the ->elevator_data is NULL.So at the same time, threadA call elv_merge and nedd some info of elevator_data.So the crash happened. Move the elevator_alloc into func elevator_init_fn, it make the operations in a atomic operation.
