2012-02-24LDM: Fix reassembly of extended VBLKs.Anton Altaparmakov
From: Ben Hutchings <ben@decadent.org.uk> Extended VBLKs (those larger than the preset VBLK size) are divided into fragments, each with its own VBLK header. Our LDM implementation generally assumes that each VBLK is contiguous in memory, so these fragments must be assembled before further processing. Currently the reassembly seems to be done quite wrongly - no VBLK header is copied into the contiguous buffer, and the length of the header is subtracted twice from each fragment. Also the total length of the reassembled VBLK is calculated incorrectly. Signed-off-by: Ben Hutchings <ben@decadent.org.uk> Signed-off-by: Anton Altaparmakov <anton@tuxera.com>
2012-02-11block: fix lockdep warning on io_context release put_io_context()Tejun Heo
11a3122f6c "block: strip out locking optimization in put_io_context()" removed ioc_lock depth lockdep annoation along with locking optimization; however, while recursing from put_io_context() is no longer possible, ioc_release_fn() may still end up putting the last reference of another ioc through elevator, which wlil grab ioc->lock triggering spurious (as the ioc is always different one) A-A deadlock warning. As this can only happen one time from ioc_release_fn(), using non-zero subclass from ioc_release_fn() is enough. Use subclass 1.

2012-02-08block: don't call elevator callbacks for plug mergesTejun Heo
Plug merge calls two elevator callbacks outside queue lock - elevator_allow_merge_fn() and elevator_bio_merged_fn(). Although attempt_plug_merge() suggests that elevator is guaranteed to be there through the existing request on the plug list, nothing prevents plug merge from calling into dying or initializing elevator. For regular merges, bypass ensures elvpriv count to reach zero, which in turn prevents merges as all !ELVPRIV requests get REQ_SOFTBARRIER from forced back insertion. Plug merge doesn't check ELVPRIV, and, as the requests haven't gone through elevator insertion yet, it doesn't have SOFTBARRIER set allowing merges on a bypassed queue. This, for example, leads to the following crash during elevator switch.

They aren't on the elevator yet, so there's no elevator specific state to update. * Given the nature of plug merges - collecting bio's for the same purpose from the same issuer - elevator specific restrictions aren't applicable. So, simply don't call into elevator methods from plug merge by moving elv_bio_merged() from bio_attempt_*_merge() to blk_queue_bio(), and using blk_try_merge() in attempt_plug_merge(). This is based on Jens' patch to skip elevator_allow_merge_fn() from plug merge. Note that this makes per-cgroup merged stats skip plug merging.

2012-02-08block: separate out blk_rq_merge_ok() and blk_try_merge() from elevator ↵Tejun Heo
functions blk_rq_merge_ok() is the elevator-neutral part of merge eligibility test. blk_try_merge() determines merge direction and expects the caller to have tested elv_rq_merge_ok() previously. elv_rq_merge_ok() now wraps blk_rq_merge_ok() and then calls elv_iosched_allow_merge(). elv_try_merge() is removed and the two callers are updated to call elv_rq_merge_ok() explicitly followed by blk_try_merge(). While at it, make rq_merge_ok() functions return bool. This is to prepare for plug merge update and doesn't introduce any behavior change. This is based on Jens' patch to skip elevator_allow_merge_fn() from plug merge.

2012-02-07block: strip out locking optimization in put_io_context()Tejun Heo
put_io_context() performed a complex trylock dancing to avoid deferring ioc release to workqueue. It was also broken on UP because trylock was always assumed to succeed which resulted in unbalanced preemption count. While there are ways to fix the UP breakage, even the most pathological microbench (forced ioc allocation and tight fork/exit loop) fails to show any appreciable performance benefit of the optimization. Strip it out. If there turns out to be workloads which are affected by this change, simpler optimization from the discussion thread can be applied later.

This triggers the following oops, when cfqq_type() attempts to dereference it: BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request at ffff8800746c4f0c IP: [<ffffffff81266d59>] cfqq_type+0xb/0x20 PGD 18d4063 PUD 1fe15067 PMD 1ffb9067 PTE 80000000746c4160 Oops: 0000 [#1] SMP DEBUG_PAGEALLOC CPU 3 Modules linked in: Pid: 1, comm: init Not tainted 3.2.0-josef+ #367 Bochs Bochs RIP: 0010:[<ffffffff81266d59>] [<ffffffff81266d59>] cfqq_type+0xb/0x20 RSP: 0018:ffff880079c11778 EFLAGS: 00010046 RAX: 0000000000000000 RBX: ffff880076f3df08 RCX: 0000000000000000 RDX: 0000000000000006 RSI: ffff880074271888 RDI: ffff8800746c4f08 RBP: ffff880079c11778 R08: 0000000000000078 R09: 0000000000000001 R10: 09f911029d74e35b R11: 09f911029d74e35b R12: ffff880076f337f0 R13: ffff8800746c4f08 R14: ffff8800746c4f08 R15: 0000000000000002 FS: 00007f62fd44f700(0000) GS:ffff88007cd80000(0000) knlGS:0000000000000000 CS: 0010 DS: 0000 ES: 0000 CR0: 0000000080050033 CR2: ffff8800746c4f0c CR3: 0000000076c21000 CR4: 00000000000006e0 DR0: 0000000000000000 DR1: 0000000000000000 DR2: 0000000000000000 DR3: 0000000000000000 DR6: 00000000ffff0ff0 DR7: 0000000000000400 Process init (pid: 1, threadinfo ffff880079c10000, task ffff880079c0a040) Stack: ffff880079c117c8 ffffffff812683d8 ffff880079c117a8 ffffffff8125de43 ffff8800744fcf48 ffff880074b43e98 ffff8800770c8828 ffff880074b43e98 0000000000000003 0000000000000000 ffff880079c117f8 ffffffff81254149 Call Trace: [<ffffffff812683d8>] cfq_insert_request+0x3f5/0x47c [<ffffffff8125de43>] ? blk_recount_segments+0x20/0x31 [<ffffffff81254149>] __elv_add_request+0x1ca/0x200 [<ffffffff8125aa99>] blk_queue_bio+0x2ef/0x312 [<ffffffff81258f7b>] generic_make_request+0x9f/0xe0 [<ffffffff8125907b>] submit_bio+0xbf/0xca [<ffffffff81136ec7>] submit_bh+0xdf/0xfe [<ffffffff81176d04>] ext3_bread+0x50/0x99 [<ffffffff811785b3>] dx_probe+0x38/0x291 [<ffffffff81178864>] ext3_dx_find_entry+0x58/0x219 [<ffffffff81178ad5>] ext3_find_entry+0xb0/0x406 [<ffffffff8110c4d5>] ? cache_alloc_debugcheck_after.isra.46+0x14d/0x1a0 [<ffffffff8110cfbd>] ? kmem_cache_alloc+0xef/0x191 [<ffffffff8117a330>] ext3_lookup+0x39/0xe1 [<ffffffff81119461>] d_alloc_and_lookup+0x45/0x6c [<ffffffff8111ac41>] do_lookup+0x1e4/0x2f5 [<ffffffff8111aef6>] link_path_walk+0x1a4/0x6ef [<ffffffff8111b557>] path_lookupat+0x59/0x5ea [<ffffffff8127406c>] ? __strncpy_from_user+0x30/0x5a [<ffffffff8111bce0>] do_path_lookup+0x23/0x59 [<ffffffff8111cfd6>] user_path_at_empty+0x53/0x99 [<ffffffff8107b37b>] ? remove_wait_queue+0x51/0x56 [<ffffffff8111d02d>] user_path_at+0x11/0x13 [<ffffffff811141f5>] vfs_fstatat+0x3a/0x64 [<ffffffff8111425a>] vfs_stat+0x1b/0x1d [<ffffffff81114359>] sys_newstat+0x1a/0x33 [<ffffffff81060e12>] ? task_stopped_code+0x42/0x42 [<ffffffff815d6712>] system_call_fastpath+0x16/0x1b Code: 89 e6 48 89 c7 e8 fa ca fe ff 85 c0 74 06 4c 89 2b 41 b6 01 5b 44 89 f0 41 5c 41 5d 41 5e 5d c3 55 48 89 e5 66 66 66 66 90 31 c0 <8b> 57 04 f6 c6 01 74 0b 83 e2 20 83 fa 01 19 c0 83 c0 02 5d c3 RIP [<ffffffff81266d59>] cfqq_type+0xb/0x20 RSP <ffff880079c11778> CR2: ffff8800746c4f0c Get rid of the caching of cfqd->active_queue, and reorder the check so that it happens before we expire the active queue.

2012-01-14block: fail SCSI passthrough ioctls on partition devicesPaolo Bonzini
Linux allows executing the SG_IO ioctl on a partition or LVM volume, and will pass the command to the underlying block device. This is well-known, but it is also a large security problem when (via Unix permissions, ACLs, SELinux or a combination thereof) a program or user needs to be granted access only to part of the disk. This patch lets partitions forward a small set of harmless ioctls; others are logged with printk so that we can see which ioctls are actually sent. In my tests only CDROM_GET_CAPABILITY actually occurred. Of course it was being sent to a (partition on a) hard disk, so it would have failed with ENOTTY and the patch isn't changing anything in practice. Still, I'm treating it specially to avoid spamming the logs. In principle, this restriction should include programs running with CAP_SYS_RAWIO. If for example I let a program access /dev/sda2 and /dev/sdb, it still should not be able to read/write outside the boundaries of /dev/sda2 independent of the capabilities. However, for now programs with CAP_SYS_RAWIO will still be allowed to send the ioctls. Their actions will still be logged. This patch does not affect the non-libata IDE driver. That driver however already tests for bd != bd->bd_contains before issuing some ioctl; it could be restricted further to forbid these ioctls even for programs running with CAP_SYS_ADMIN/CAP_SYS_RAWIO.

Stacking driver queue limits are typically bounded exclusively by the capabilities of the low level devices, not by the stacking driver itself. This patch introduces blk_set_stacking_limits() which has more liberal metrics than the default queue limits function. This allows us to inherit topology parameters from bottom devices without manually tweaking the default limits in each driver prior to calling the stacking function. Since there is now a clear distinction between stacking and low-level devices, blk_set_default_limits() has been modified to carry the more conservative values that we used to manually set in blk_queue_make_request().

2012-01-05vfs: fix up ENOIOCTLCMD error handlingLinus Torvalds
We're doing some odd things there, which already messes up various users (see the net/socket.c code that this removes), and it was going to add yet more crud to the block layer because of the incorrect error code translation. ENOIOCTLCMD is not an error return that should be returned to user mode from the "ioctl()" system call, but it should *not* be translated as EINVAL ("Invalid argument"). It should be translated as ENOTTY ("Inappropriate ioctl for device"). That EINVAL confusion has apparently so permeated some code that the block layer actually checks for it, which is sad. We continue to do so for now, but add a big comment about how wrong that is, and we should remove it entirely eventually. In the meantime, this tries to keep the changes localized to just the EINVAL -> ENOTTY fix, and removing code that makes it harder to do the right thing.

2011-12-29block: fix blk_queue_end_tag()Dan Williams
Commit 5e081591 "block: warn if tag is greater than real_max_depth" cleaned up blk_queue_end_tag() to warn when the tag is truly invalid (greater than real_max_depth). However, it changed behavior in the tag < max_depth case to not end the request. Leading to triggering of BUG_ON(blk_queued_rq(rq)) in the request completion path: http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=132204370518629&w=2 In order to allow blk_queue_resize_tags() to shrink the tag space blk_queue_end_tag() must always complete tags with a value less than real_max_depth regardless of the current max_depth.

2011-12-25block: an exiting task should be allowed to create io_contextTejun Heo
While fixing io_context creation / task exit race condition, 6e736be7f2 "block: make ioc get/put interface more conventional and fix race on alloction" also prevented an exiting (%PF_EXITING) task from creating its own io_context. This is incorrect as exit path may issue IOs, e.g. from exit_files(), and if those IOs are the first ones issued by the task, io_context needs to be created to process the IOs. Combined with the existing problem of io_context / io_cq creation failure having the possibility of stalling IO, this problem results in deterministic full IO lockup with certain workloads. Fix it by allowing io_context creation regardless of %PF_EXITING for %current.

2011-12-14block, cfq: move icq creation and rq->elv.icq association to block coreTejun Heo
Now block layer knows everything necessary to create and associate icq's with requests. Move ioc_create_icq() to blk-ioc.c and update get_request() such that, if elevator_type->icq_size is set, requests are automatically associated with their matching icq's before elv_set_request(). io_context reference is also managed by block core on request alloc/free. * Only ioprio/cgroup changed handling remains from cfq_get_cic(). Collapsed into cfq_set_request(). * This removes queue kicking on icq allocation failure (for now). As icq allocation failure is rare and the only effect of queue kicking achieved was possibily accelerating queue processing, this change shouldn't be noticeable. There is a larger underlying problem. Unlike request allocation, icq allocation is not guaranteed to succeed eventually after retries. The number of icq is unbound and thus mempool can't be the solution either. This effectively adds allocation dependency on memory free path and thus possibility of deadlock. This usually wouldn't happen because icq allocation is not a hot path and, even when the condition triggers, it's highly unlikely that none of the writeback workers already has icq. However, this is still possible especially if elevator is being switched under high memory pressure, so we better get it fixed. Probably the only solution is just bypassing elevator and appending to dispatch queue on any elevator allocation failure. * Comment added to explain how icq's are managed and synchronized. This completes cleanup of io_context interface. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@kernel.dk>

2011-12-14block, cfq: move io_cq exit/release to blk-ioc.cTejun Heo
With kmem_cache managed by blk-ioc, io_cq exit/release can be moved to blk-ioc too. The odd ->io_cq->exit/release() callbacks are replaced with elevator_ops->elevator_exit_icq_fn() with unlinking from both ioc and q, and freeing automatically handled by blk-ioc. The elevator operation only need to perform exit operation specific to the elevator - in cfq's case, exiting the cfqq's. Also, clearing of io_cq's on q detach is moved to block core and automatically performed on elevator switch and q release. Because the q io_cq points to might be freed before RCU callback for the io_cq runs, blk-ioc code should remember to which cache the io_cq needs to be freed when the io_cq is released. New field io_cq->__rcu_icq_cache is added for this purpose. As both the new field and rcu_head are used only after io_cq is released and the q/ioc_node fields aren't, they are put into unions.

Let elevators set ->icq_size and ->icq_align in elevator_type and elv_register() and elv_unregister() respectively create and destroy kmem_cache for icq. * elv_register() now can return failure. All callers updated. * icq caches are automatically named "ELVNAME_io_cq". * cfq_slab_setup/kill() are collapsed into cfq_init/exit(). * While at it, minor indentation change for iosched_cfq.elevator_name for consistency.

2011-12-14block, cfq: move io_cq lookup to blk-ioc.cTejun Heo
Now that all io_cq related data structures are in block core layer, io_cq lookup can be moved from cfq-iosched.c to blk-ioc.c. Lookup logic from cfq_cic_lookup() is moved to ioc_lookup_icq() with parameter return type changes (cfqd -> request_queue, cfq_io_cq -> io_cq) and cfq_cic_lookup() becomes thin wrapper around cfq_cic_lookup().

Most of icq management is about to be moved out of cfq into blk-ioc. This patch prepares for it. * Move cfqd->icq_list to request_queue->icq_list * Make request explicitly point to icq instead of through elevator private data. ->elevator_private[3] is replaced with sub struct elv which contains icq pointer and priv[2]. cfq is updated accordingly. * Meaningless clearing of ->elevator_private[0] removed from elv_set_request().

2011-12-14block, cfq: reorganize cfq_io_context into generic and cfq specific partsTejun Heo
Currently io_context and cfq logics are mixed without clear boundary. Most of io_context is independent from cfq but cfq_io_context handling logic is dispersed between generic ioc code and cfq. cfq_io_context represents association between an io_context and a request_queue, which is a concept useful outside of cfq, but it also contains fields which are useful only to cfq. This patch takes out generic part and put it into io_cq (io context-queue) and the rest into cfq_io_cq (cic moniker remains the same) which contains io_cq. The following changes are made together. * cfq_ttime and cfq_io_cq now live in cfq-iosched.c. * All related fields, functions and constants are renamed accordingly. * ioc->ioc_data is now "struct io_cq *" instead of "void *" and renamed to icq_hint. This prepares for io_context API cleanup. Documentation is currently sparse. It will be added later. Changes in this patch are mechanical and don't cause functional change.

elevator_queue->ops points to the same ops struct ->elevator_type.ops is pointing to. The only effect of caching it in elevator_queue is shorter notation - it doesn't save any indirect derefence. Relocate elevator_type->list which used only during module init/exit to the end of the structure, rename elevator_queue->elevator_type to ->type, and replace elevator_queue->ops with elevator_queue->type.ops.

2011-12-14block: reorder elevator switch sequenceTejun Heo
Elevator switch sequence first attached the new elevator, then tried registering it (sysfs) and if that failed attached back the old elevator. However, sysfs registration doesn't require the elevator to be attached, so there is no reason to do the "detach, attach new, register, maybe re-attach old" sequence. It can just do "register, detach, attach". * elevator_init_queue() is updated to set ->elevator_data directly and return 0 / -errno. This allows elevator_exit() on an unattached elevator. * __elv_unregister_queue() which was necessary to unregister unattached q is removed in favor of __elv_register_queue() which can register unattached q. * elevator_attach() becomes a single assignment and obscures more then it helps. Dropped. This will help cleaning up io_context handling across elevator switch. This patch doesn't introduce visible behavior change.

2011-12-14block, cfq: replace current_io_context() with create_io_context()Tejun Heo
When called under queue_lock, current_io_context() triggers lockdep warning if it hits allocation path. This is because io_context installation is protected by task_lock which is not IRQ safe, so it triggers irq-unsafe-lock -> irq -> irq-safe-lock -> irq-unsafe-lock deadlock warning. Given the restriction, accessor + creator rolled into one doesn't work too well. Drop current_io_context() and let the users access task->io_context directly inside queue_lock combined with explicit creation using create_io_context(). Future ioc updates will further consolidate ioc access and the create interface will be unexported. While at it, relocate ioc internal interface declarations in blk.h and add section comments before and after. This patch does not introduce functional change.

2011-12-14block, cfq: unlink cfq_io_context's immediatelyTejun Heo
cic is association between io_context and request_queue. A cic is linked from both ioc and q and should be destroyed when either one goes away. As ioc and q both have their own locks, locking becomes a bit complex - both orders work for removal from one but not from the other. Currently, cfq tries to circumvent this locking order issue with RCU. ioc->lock nests inside queue_lock but the radix tree and cic's are also protected by RCU allowing either side to walk their lists without grabbing lock. This rather unconventional use of RCU quickly devolves into extremely fragile convolution. e.g. The following is from cfqd going away too soon after ioc and q exits raced. general protection fault: 0000 [#1] PREEMPT SMP CPU 2 Modules linked in: [ 88.503444] Pid: 599, comm: hexdump Not tainted 3.1.0-rc10-work+ #158 Bochs Bochs RIP: 0010:[<ffffffff81397628>] [<ffffffff81397628>] cfq_exit_single_io_context+0x58/0xf0 ...

This patch makes cic removal from both ioc and request_queue perform double-locking and unlink immediately. * From q side, the change is almost trivial as ioc->lock nests inside queue_lock. It just needs to grab each ioc->lock as it walks cic_list and unlink it. * From ioc side, it's a bit more difficult because of inversed lock order. ioc needs its lock to walk its cic_list but can't grab the matching queue_lock and needs to perform unlock-relock dancing. Unlinking is now wholly done from put_io_context() and fast path is optimized by using the queue_lock the caller already holds, which is by far the most common case. If the ioc accessed multiple devices, it tries with trylock. In unlikely cases of fast path failure, it falls back to full double-locking dance from workqueue. Double-locking isn't the prettiest thing in the world but it's *far* simpler and more understandable than RCU trick without adding any meaningful overhead. This still leaves a lot of now unnecessary RCU logics. Future patches will trim them. -v2: Vivek pointed out that cic->q was being dereferenced after cic->release() was called.

2011-12-14block, cfq: fix cic lookup lockingTejun Heo
* cfq_cic_lookup() may be called without queue_lock and multiple tasks can execute it simultaneously for the same shared ioc. Nothing prevents them racing each other and trying to drop the same dead cic entry multiple times. * smp_wmb() in cfq_exit_cic() doesn't really do anything and nothing prevents cfq_cic_lookup() seeing stale cic->key. This usually doesn't blow up because by the time cic is exited, all requests have been drained and new requests are terminated before going through elevator. However, it can still be triggered by plug merge path which doesn't grab queue_lock and thus can't check DEAD state reliably. This patch updates lookup locking such that, * Lookup is always performed under queue_lock. This doesn't add any more locking. The only issue is cfq_allow_merge() which can be called from plug merge path without holding any lock. For now, this is worked around by using cic of the request to merge into, which is guaranteed to have the same ioc. For longer term, I think it would be best to separate out plug merge method from regular one. * Spurious ioc->lock locking around cic lookup hint assignment dropped.

cfq_get_io_context() would fail if multiple tasks race to insert cic's for the same association. This patch restructures cfq_get_io_context() such that slow path insertion race is handled properly. Note that the restructuring also makes cfq_get_io_context() called under queue_lock and performs both ioc and cfqd insertions while holding both ioc and queue locks. This is part of on-going locking tightening and will be used to simplify synchronization rules. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@kernel.dk>
