On the other hand, request freeing has not been moved, so it's only called when destroying the backend instance. Due to this mismatch, blkback can allocate the request pool multiple times, without freeing it. In order to fix it, move the freeing of requests to xen_blkif_disconnect to restore the symmetry between request allocation and freeing.

Pull core block updates from Jens Axboe: "This first core part of the block IO changes contains: - Cleanup of the bio IO error signaling from Christoph. We used to rely on the uptodate bit and passing around of an error, now we store the error in the bio itself. - Improvement of the above from myself, by shrinking the bio size down again to fit in two cachelines on x86-64. - Revert of the max_hw_sectors cap removal from a revision again, from Jeff Moyer. This caused performance regressions in various tests. Reinstate the limit, bump it to a more reasonable size instead. - Make /sys/block/<dev>/queue/discard_max_bytes writeable, by me. Most devices have huge trim limits, which can cause nasty latencies when deleting files. Enable the admin to configure the size down. We will look into having a more sane default instead of UINT_MAX sectors. - Improvement of the SGP gaps logic from Keith Busch. - Enable the block core to handle arbitrarily sized bios, which enables a nice simplification of bio_add_page() (which is an IO hot path). From Kent. - Improvements to the partition io stats accounting, making it faster. From Ming Lei. - Also from Ming Lei, a basic fixup for overflow of the sysfs pending file in blk-mq, as well as a fix for a blk-mq timeout race condition. - Ming Lin has been carrying Kents above mentioned patches forward for a while, and testing them. Ming also did a few fixes around that. - Sasha Levin found and fixed a use-after-free problem introduced by the bio->bi_error changes from Christoph. - Small blk cgroup cleanup from Viresh Kumar" * 'for-4.3/core' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux-block: (26 commits) blk: Fix bio_io_vec index when checking bvec gaps block: Replace SG_GAPS with new queue limits mask block: bump BLK_DEF_MAX_SECTORS to 2560 Revert "block: remove artifical max_hw_sectors cap" blk-mq: fix race between timeout and freeing request blk-mq: fix buffer overflow when reading sysfs file of 'pending' Documentation: update notes in biovecs about arbitrarily sized bios block: remove bio_get_nr_vecs() fs: use helper bio_add_page() instead of open coding on bi_io_vec block: kill merge_bvec_fn() completely md/raid5: get rid of bio_fits_rdev() md/raid5: split bio for chunk_aligned_read block: remove split code in blkdev_issue_{discard,write_same} btrfs: remove bio splitting and merge_bvec_fn() calls bcache: remove driver private bio splitting code block: simplify bio_add_page() block: make generic_make_request handle arbitrarily sized bios blk-cgroup: Drop unlikely before IS_ERR(_OR_NULL) block: don't access bio->bi_error after bio_put() block: shrink struct bio down to 2 cache lines again ...
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.

2015-06-05xen/block: add multi-page ring supportBob Liu
Extend xen/block to support multi-page ring, so that more requests can be issued by using more than one pages as the request ring between blkfront and backend. As a result, the performance can get improved significantly. We got some impressive improvements on our highend iscsi storage cluster backend. If using 64 pages as the ring, the IOPS increased about 15 times for the throughput testing and above doubled for the latency testing. The reason was the limit on outstanding requests is 32 if use only one-page ring, but in our case the iscsi lun was spread across about 100 physical drives, 32 was really not enough to keep them busy. Changes in v2: - Rebased to 4.0-rc6. - Document on how multi-page ring feature working to linux io/blkif.h. Changes in v3: - Remove changes to linux io/blkif.h and follow the protocol defined in io/blkif.h of XEN tree. - Rebased to 4.1-rc3 Changes in v4: - Turn to use 'ring-page-order' and 'max-ring-page-order'. - A few comments from Roger.

2015-04-15xenbus_client: Extend interface to support multi-page ringWei Liu
Originally Xen PV drivers only use single-page ring to pass along information. This might limit the throughput between frontend and backend. The patch extends Xenbus driver to support multi-page ring, which in general should improve throughput if ring is the bottleneck. Changes to various frontend / backend to adapt to the new interface are also included. Affected Xen drivers: * blkfront/back * netfront/back * pcifront/back * scsifront/back * vtpmfront The interface is documented, as before, in xenbus_client.c.

If you would like me to rebase it on a different branch/tag I would be more than happy to do so. The patches are all bug-fixes and hopefully can go in 3.14. They deal with xen-blkback shutdown and cause memory leaks as well as shutdown races. They should go to stable tree and if you are OK with I will ask them to backport those fixes. There is also a fix to xen-blkfront to deal with unexpected state transition. And lastly a fix to the header where it was using the __aligned__ unnecessarily.

2014-02-07xen-blkback: fix memory leaksRoger Pau Monne
I've at least identified two possible memory leaks in blkback, both related to the shutdown path of a VBD: - blkback doesn't wait for any pending purge work to finish before cleaning the list of free_pages. The purge work will call put_free_pages and thus we might end up with pages being added to the free_pages list after we have emptied it. Fix this by making sure there's no pending purge work before exiting xen_blkif_schedule, and moving the free_page cleanup code to xen_blkif_free. - blkback doesn't wait for pending requests to end before cleaning persistent grants and the list of free_pages. Again this can add pages to the free_pages list or persistent grants to the persistent_gnts red-black tree. Fixed by moving the persistent grants and free_pages cleanup code to xen_blkif_free. Also, add some checks in xen_blkif_free to make sure we are cleaning everything.

2013-06-17xen/blkback: Check for insane amounts of request on the ring (v6).Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk
Check that the ring does not have an insane amount of requests (more than there could fit on the ring). If we detect this case we will stop processing the requests and wait until the XenBus disconnects the ring. The existing check RING_REQUEST_CONS_OVERFLOW which checks for how many responses we have created in the past (rsp_prod_pvt) vs requests consumed (req_cons) and whether said difference is greater or equal to the size of the ring, does not catch this case. Wha the condition does check if there is a need to process more as we still have a backlog of responses to finish. Note that both of those values (rsp_prod_pvt and req_cons) are not exposed on the shared ring. To understand this problem a mini crash course in ring protocol response/request updates is in place. There are four entries: req_prod and rsp_prod; req_event and rsp_event to track the ring entries. We are only concerned about the first two - which set the tone of this bug. The req_prod is a value incremented by frontend for each request put on the ring. Conversely the rsp_prod is a value incremented by the backend for each response put on the ring (rsp_prod gets set by rsp_prod_pvt when pushing the responses on the ring). Both values can wrap and are modulo the size of the ring (in block case that is 32). Please see RING_GET_REQUEST and RING_GET_RESPONSE for the more details. The culprit here is that if the difference between the req_prod and req_cons is greater than the ring size we have a problem. Fortunately for us, the '__do_block_io_op' loop: rc = blk_rings->common.req_cons; rp = blk_rings->common.sring->req_prod; while (rc != rp) { .. blk_rings->common.req_cons = ++rc; /* before make_response() */ } will loop up to the point when rc == rp. The macros inside of the loop (RING_GET_REQUEST) is smart and is indexing based on the modulo of the ring size. If the frontend has provided a bogus req_prod value we will loop until the 'rc == rp' - which means we could be processing already processed requests (or responses) often. The reason the RING_REQUEST_CONS_OVERFLOW is not helping here is b/c it only tracks how many responses we have internally produced and whether we would should process more. The astute reader will notice that the macro RING_REQUEST_CONS_OVERFLOW provides two arguments - more on this later. For example, if we were to enter this function with these values: blk_rings->common.sring->req_prod = X+31415 (X is the value from the last time __do_block_io_op was called). blk_rings->common.req_cons = X blk_rings->common.rsp_prod_pvt = X The RING_REQUEST_CONS_OVERFLOW(&blk_rings->common, blk_rings->common.req_cons) is doing: req_cons - rsp_prod_pvt >= 32 Which is, X - X >= 32 or 0 >= 32 And that is false, so we continue on looping (this bug). If we re-use said macro RING_REQUEST_CONS_OVERFLOW and pass in the rp instead (sring->req_prod) of rc, the this macro can do the check: req_prod - rsp_prov_pvt >= 32 Which is, X + 31415 - X >= 32 , or 31415 >= 32 which is true, so we can error out and break out of the function. Unfortunatly the difference between rsp_prov_pvt and req_prod can be at 32 (which would error out in the macro). This condition exists when the backend is lagging behind with the responses and still has not finished responding to all of them (so make_response has not been called), and the rsp_prov_pvt + 32 == req_cons. This ends up with us not being able to use said macro. Hence introducing a new macro called RING_REQUEST_PROD_OVERFLOW which does a simple check of: req_prod - rsp_prod_pvt > RING_SIZE And with the X values from above: X + 31415 - X > 32 Returns true. Also not that if the ring is full (which is where the RING_REQUEST_CONS_OVERFLOW triggered), we would not hit the same condition: X + 32 - X > 32 Which is false. Lets use that macro. Note that in v5 of this patchset the macro was different - we used an earlier version.

2013-06-07xen/blkback: Use physical sector size for setupStefan Bader
Currently xen-blkback passes the logical sector size over xenbus and xen-blkfront sets up the paravirt disk with that logical block size. But newer drives usually have the logical sector size set to 512 for compatibility reasons and would show the actual sector size only in physical sector size. This results in the device being partitioned and accessed in dom0 with the correct sector size, but the guest thinks 512 bytes is the correct block size. And that results in poor performance. To fix this, blkback gets modified to pass also physical-sector-size over xenbus and blkfront to use both values to set up the paravirt disk. I did not just change the passed in sector-size because I am not sure having a bigger logical sector size than the physical one is valid (and that would happen if a newer dom0 kernel hits an older domU kernel). Also this way a domU set up before should still be accessible (just some tools might detect the unaligned setup).

2013-04-18xen-block: implement indirect descriptorsRoger Pau Monne
Indirect descriptors introduce a new block operation (BLKIF_OP_INDIRECT) that passes grant references instead of segments in the request. This grant references are filled with arrays of blkif_request_segment_aligned, this way we can send more segments in a request. The proposed implementation sets the maximum number of indirect grefs (frames filled with blkif_request_segment_aligned) to 256 in the backend and 32 in the frontend. The value in the frontend has been chosen experimentally, and the backend value has been set to a sane value that allows expanding the maximum number of indirect descriptors in the frontend if needed. The migration code has changed from the previous implementation, in which we simply remapped the segments on the shared ring. Now the maximum number of segments allowed in a request can change depending on the backend, so we have to requeue all the requests in the ring and in the queue and split the bios in them if they are bigger than the new maximum number of segments. [v2: Fixed minor comments by Konrad. [v1: Added padding to make the indirect request 64bit aligned. Added some BUGs, comments; fixed number of indirect pages in blkif_get_x86_{32/64}_req.

The algorithm uses a simple LRU mechanism that removes (if needed) the persistent grants that have not been used since the last LRU run, or if all grants have been used it removes the first grants in the list (that are not in use). The algorithm allows the user to change the maximum number of persistent grants, by changing max_persistent_grants in sysfs. Since we are storing the persistent grants used inside the request struct (to be able to mark them as "unused" when unmapping), we no longer need the bitmap (unmap_seg).

2013-04-18xen-blkback: use balloon pages for all mappingsRoger Pau Monne
Using balloon pages for all granted pages allows us to simplify the logic in blkback, especially in the xen_blkbk_map function, since now we can decide if we want to map a grant persistently or not after we have actually mapped it. This could not be done before because persistent grants used ballooned pages, whereas non-persistent grants used pages from the kernel. This patch also introduces several changes, the first one is that the list of free pages is no longer global, now each blkback instance has it's own list of free pages that can be used to map grants. Also, a run time parameter (max_buffer_pages) has been added in order to tune the maximum number of free pages each blkback instance will keep in it's buffer.
