2014-11-06aio: fix uncorrent dirty pages accouting when truncating AIO ring bufferGu Zheng
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=86831 Markus reported that when shutting down mysqld (with AIO support, on a ext3 formatted Harddrive) leads to a negative number of dirty pages (underrun to the counter). The negative number results in a drastic reduction of the write performance because the page cache is not used, because the kernel thinks it is still 2 ^ 32 dirty pages open. Add a warn trace in __dec_zone_state will catch this easily: static inline void __dec_zone_state(struct zone *zone, enum zone_stat_item item) { atomic_long_dec(&zone->vm_stat[item]); + WARN_ON_ONCE(item == NR_FILE_DIRTY && atomic_long_read(&zone->vm_stat[item]) < 0); atomic_long_dec(&vm_stat[item]); } [ 21.341632] ------------[ cut here ]------------ [ 21.346294] WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 309 at include/linux/vmstat.h:242 cancel_dirty_page+0x164/0x224() [ 21.355296] Modules linked in: wutbox_cp sata_mv [ 21.359968] CPU: 0 PID: 309 Comm: kworker/0:1 Not tainted 3.14.21-WuT #80 [ 21.366793] Workqueue: events free_ioctx [ 21.370760] [<c0016a64>] (unwind_backtrace) from [<c0012f88>] (show_stack+0x20/0x24) [ 21.378562] [<c0012f88>] (show_stack) from [<c03f8ccc>] (dump_stack+0x24/0x28) [ 21.385840] [<c03f8ccc>] (dump_stack) from [<c0023ae4>] (warn_slowpath_common+0x84/0x9c) [ 21.393976] [<c0023ae4>] (warn_slowpath_common) from [<c0023bb8>] (warn_slowpath_null+0x2c/0x34) [ 21.402800] [<c0023bb8>] (warn_slowpath_null) from [<c00c0688>] (cancel_dirty_page+0x164/0x224) [ 21.411524] [<c00c0688>] (cancel_dirty_page) from [<c00c080c>] (truncate_inode_page+0x8c/0x158) [ 21.420272] [<c00c080c>] (truncate_inode_page) from [<c00c0a94>] (truncate_inode_pages_range+0x11c/0x53c) [ 21.429890] [<c00c0a94>] (truncate_inode_pages_range) from [<c00c0f6c>] (truncate_pagecache+0x88/0xac) [ 21.439252] [<c00c0f6c>] (truncate_pagecache) from [<c00c0fec>] (truncate_setsize+0x5c/0x74) [ 21.447731] [<c00c0fec>] (truncate_setsize) from [<c013b3a8>] (put_aio_ring_file.isra.14+0x34/0x90) [ 21.456826] [<c013b3a8>] (put_aio_ring_file.isra.14) from [<c013b424>] (aio_free_ring+0x20/0xcc) [ 21.465660] [<c013b424>] (aio_free_ring) from [<c013b4f4>] (free_ioctx+0x24/0x44) [ 21.473190] [<c013b4f4>] (free_ioctx) from [<c003d8d8>] (process_one_work+0x134/0x47c) [ 21.481132] [<c003d8d8>] (process_one_work) from [<c003e988>] (worker_thread+0x130/0x414) [ 21.489350] [<c003e988>] (worker_thread) from [<c00448ac>] (kthread+0xd4/0xec) [ 21.496621] [<c00448ac>] (kthread) from [<c000ec18>] (ret_from_fork+0x14/0x20) [ 21.503884] ---[ end trace 79c4bf42c038c9a1 ]--- The cause is that we set the aio ring file pages as *DIRTY* via SetPageDirty (bypasses the VFS dirty pages increment) when init, and aio fs uses *default_backing_dev_info* as the backing dev, which does not disable the dirty pages accounting capability. So truncating aio ring file will contribute to accounting dirty pages (VFS dirty pages decrement), then error occurs. The original goal is keeping these pages in memory (can not be reclaimed or swapped) in life-time via marking it dirty. But thinking more, we have already pinned pages via elevating the page's refcount, which can already achieve the goal, so the SetPageDirty seems unnecessary. In order to fix the issue, using the __set_page_dirty_no_writeback instead of the nop .set_page_dirty, and dropped the SetPageDirty (don't manually set the dirty flags, don't disable set_page_dirty(), rely on default behaviour). With the above change, the dirty pages accounting can work well. But as we known, aio fs is an anonymous one, which should never cause any real write-back, we can ignore the dirty pages (write back) accounting by disabling the dirty pages (write back) accounting capability. So we introduce an aio private backing dev info (disabled the ACCT_DIRTY/WRITEBACK/ACCT_WB capabilities) to replace the default one.

2014-09-24percpu_ref: add PERCPU_REF_INIT_* flagsTejun Heo
With the recent addition of percpu_ref_reinit(), percpu_ref now can be used as a persistent switch which can be turned on and off repeatedly where turning off maps to killing the ref and waiting for it to drain; however, there currently isn't a way to initialize a percpu_ref in its off (killed and drained) state, which can be inconvenient for certain persistent switch use cases. Similarly, percpu_ref_switch_to_atomic/percpu() allow dynamic selection of operation mode; however, currently a newly initialized percpu_ref is always in percpu mode making it impossible to avoid the latency overhead of switching to atomic mode. This patch adds @flags to percpu_ref_init() and implements the following flags. * PERCPU_REF_INIT_ATOMIC : start ref in atomic mode * PERCPU_REF_INIT_DEAD : start ref killed and drained These flags should be able to serve the above two use cases. v2: target_core_tpg.c conversion was missing.

2014-08-24aio: fix reqs_available handlingBenjamin LaHaise
As reported by Dan Aloni, commit f8567a3845ac ("aio: fix aio request leak when events are reaped by userspace") introduces a regression when user code attempts to perform io_submit() with more events than are available in the ring buffer. Reverting that commit would reintroduce a regression when user space event reaping is used. Fixing this bug is a bit more involved than the previous attempts to fix this regression. Since we do not have a single point at which we can count events as being reaped by user space and io_getevents(), we have to track event completion by looking at the number of events left in the event ring. So long as there are as many events in the ring buffer as there have been completion events generate, we cannot call put_reqs_available(). The code to check for this is now placed in refill_reqs_available(). A test program from Dan and modified by me for verifying this bug is available at http://www.kvack.org/~bcrl/20140824-aio_bug.c .

2014-07-24aio: use iovec array rather than the single oneGu Zheng
Previously, we only offer a single iovec to handle all the read/write cases, so the PREADV/PWRITEV request always need to alloc more iovec buffer when copying user vectors. If we use a tmp iovec array rather than the single one, some small PREADV/PWRITEV workloads(vector size small than the tmp buffer) will not need to alloc more iovec buffer when copying user vectors.

2014-07-14aio: protect reqs_available updates from changes in interrupt handlersBenjamin LaHaise
As of commit f8567a3845ac05bb28f3c1b478ef752762bd39ef it is now possible to have put_reqs_available() called from irq context. While put_reqs_available() is per cpu, it did not protect itself from interrupts on the same CPU. This lead to aio_complete() corrupting the available io requests count when run under a heavy O_DIRECT workloads as reported by Robert Elliott. Fix this by disabling irq updates around the per cpu batch updates of reqs_available. Many thanks to Robert and folks for testing and tracking this down.

2014-06-28percpu-refcount: require percpu_ref to be exited explicitlyTejun Heo
Currently, a percpu_ref undoes percpu_ref_init() automatically by freeing the allocated percpu area when the percpu_ref is killed. While seemingly convenient, this has the following niggles. * It's impossible to re-init a released reference counter without going through re-allocation. * In the similar vein, it's impossible to initialize a percpu_ref count with static percpu variables. * We need and have an explicit destructor anyway for failure paths - percpu_ref_cancel_init(). This patch removes the automatic percpu counter freeing in percpu_ref_kill_rcu() and repurposes percpu_ref_cancel_init() into a generic destructor now named percpu_ref_exit(). percpu_ref_destroy() is considered but it gets confusing with percpu_ref_kill() while "exit" clearly indicates that it's the counterpart of percpu_ref_init(). All percpu_ref_cancel_init() users are updated to invoke percpu_ref_exit() instead and explicit percpu_ref_exit() calls are added to the destruction path of all percpu_ref users.

ioctx_add_table() is the writer, it does not need rcu_read_lock() to protect ->ioctx_table. It relies on mm->ioctx_lock and rcu locks just add the confusion. And it doesn't need rcu_dereference() by the same reason, it must see any updates previously done under the same ->ioctx_lock. We could use rcu_dereference_protected() but the patch uses rcu_dereference_raw(), the function is simple enough. The same for kill_ioctx(), although it does not update the pointer.

That reduces > the number of lines changed and avoid excessive indentation. OK. To me the code looks better/simpler with "if (ctx)", but this is subjective of course, I won't argue. The patch still removes the empty line between mmap_size = 0 and kill_ioctx(), we reset mmap_size only for kill_ioctx(). But feel free to remove this change. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Subject: [PATCH v3 1/2] aio: change exit_aio() to load mm->ioctx_table once and avoid rcu_read_lock() 1. We can read ->ioctx_table only once and we do not read rcu_read_lock() or even rcu_dereference(). This mm has no users, nobody else can play with ->ioctx_table. Otherwise the code is buggy anyway, if we need rcu_read_lock() in a loop because ->ioctx_table can be updated then kfree(table) is obviously wrong. 2. Update the comment. "exit_mmap(mm) is coming" is the good reason to avoid munmap(), but another reason is that we simply can't do vm_munmap() unless current->mm == mm and this is not true in general, the caller is mmput(). 3. We do not really need to nullify mm->ioctx_table before return, probably the current code does this to catch the potential problems. But in this case RCU_INIT_POINTER(NULL) looks better.

2014-04-16aio: block io_destroy() until all context requests are completedAnatol Pomozov
deletes aio context and all resources related to. It makes sense that no IO operations connected to the context should be running after the context is destroyed. As we removed io_context we have no chance to get requests status or call io_getevents(). man page for io_destroy says that this function may block until all context's requests are completed. Before kernel 3.11 io_destroy() blocked indeed, but since aio refactoring in 3.11 it is not true anymore. Here is a pseudo-code that shows a testcase for a race condition discovered in 3.11: initialize io_context io_submit(read to buffer) io_destroy() // context is destroyed so we can free the resources free(buffers); // if the buffer is allocated by some other user he'll be surprised // to learn that the buffer still filled by an outstanding operation // from the destroyed io_context The fix is straight-forward - add a completion struct and wait on it in io_destroy, complete() should be called when number of in-fligh requests reaches zero. If two or more io_destroy() called for the same context simultaneously then only the first one waits for IO completion, other calls behaviour is undefined. Tested: ran http://pastebin.com/LrPsQ4RL testcase for several hours and do not see the race condition anymore.

As a result, for example, we have the following problem: thread 1 | thread 2 | aio_migratepage() | |-> take ctx->completion_lock | |-> migrate_page_copy(new, old) | | *NOW*, ctx->ring_pages[idx] == old | | | *NOW*, ctx->ring_pages[idx] == old | aio_read_events_ring() | |-> ring = kmap_atomic(ctx->ring_pages[0]) | |-> ring->head = head; *HERE, write to the old ring page* | |-> kunmap_atomic(ring); | |-> ctx->ring_pages[idx] = new | | *BUT NOW*, the content of | | ring_pages[idx] is old. | |-> release ctx->completion_lock | As above, the new ring page will not be updated. Fix this issue, as well as prevent races in aio_ring_setup() by holding the ring_lock mutex during kioctx setup and page migration. This avoids the overhead of taking another spinlock in aio_read_events_ring() as Tang's and Gu's original fix did, pushing the overhead into the migration code. Note that to handle the nesting of ring_lock inside of mmap_sem, the migratepage operation uses mutex_trylock(). Page migration is not a 100% critical operation in this case, so the ocassional failure can be tolerated. This issue was reported by Sasha Levin. Based on feedback from Linus, avoid the extra taking of ctx->completion_lock. Instead, make page migration fully serialised by mapping->private_lock, and have aio_free_ring() simply disconnect the kioctx from the mapping by calling put_aio_ring_file() before touching ctx->ring_pages[]. This simplifies the error handling logic in aio_migratepage(), and should improve robustness. v4: always do mutex_unlock() in cases when kioctx setup fails.

2013-12-22aio: clean up and fix aio_setup_ring page mappingLinus Torvalds
Since commit 36bc08cc01709 ("fs/aio: Add support to aio ring pages migration") the aio ring setup code has used a special per-ring backing inode for the page allocations, rather than just using random anonymous pages. However, rather than remembering the pages as it allocated them, it would allocate the pages, insert them into the file mapping (dirty, so that they couldn't be free'd), and then forget about them. And then to look them up again, it would mmap the mapping, and then use "get_user_pages()" to get back an array of the pages we just created. Now, not only is that incredibly inefficient, it also leaked all the pages if the mmap failed (which could happen due to excessive number of mappings, for example). So clean it all up, making it much more straightforward. Also remove some left-overs of the previous (broken) mm_populate() usage that was removed in commit d6c355c7dabc ("aio: fix race in ring buffer page lookup introduced by page migration support") but left the pointless and now misleading MAP_POPULATE flag around.

2013-12-21aio/migratepages: make aio migrate pages saneBenjamin LaHaise
The arbitrary restriction on page counts offered by the core migrate_page_move_mapping() code results in rather suspicious looking fiddling with page reference counts in the aio_migratepage() operation. To fix this, make migrate_page_move_mapping() take an extra_count parameter that allows aio to tell the code about its own reference count on the page being migrated. While cleaning up aio_migratepage(), make it validate that the old page being passed in is actually what aio_migratepage() expects to prevent misbehaviour in the case of races.

2013-10-10aio: Fix a trinity splatKent Overstreet
aio kiocb refcounting was broken - it was relying on keeping track of the number of available ring buffer entries, which it needs to do anyways; then at shutdown time it'd wait for completions to be delivered until the # of available ring buffer entries equalled what it was initialized to. Problem with that is that the ring buffer is mapped writable into userspace, so userspace could futz with the head and tail pointers to cause the kernel to see extra completions, and cause free_ioctx() to return while there were still outstanding kiocbs. Which would be bad. Fix is just to directly refcount the kiocbs - which is more straightforward, and with the new percpu refcounting code doesn't cost us any cacheline bouncing which was the whole point of the original scheme. Also clean up ioctx_alloc()'s error path and fix a bug where it wasn't subtracting from aio_nr if ioctx_add_table() failed. Signed-off-by: Kent Overstreet <kmo@daterainc.com>
2013-09-26aio: fix use-after-free in aio_migratepageBenjamin LaHaise
Dmitry Vyukov managed to trigger a case where aio_migratepage can cause a use-after-free during teardown of the aio ring buffer's mapping. This turns out to be caused by access to the ioctx's ring_pages via the migratepage operation which was not being protected by any locks during ioctx freeing. Use the address_space's private_lock to protect use and updates of the mapping's private_data, and make ioctx teardown unlink the ioctx from the address space.

2013-09-09aio: fix race in ring buffer page lookup introduced by page migration supportBenjamin LaHaise
Prior to the introduction of page migration support in "fs/aio: Add support to aio ring pages migration" / 36bc08cc01709b4a9bb563b35aa530241ddc63e3, mapping of the ring buffer pages was done via get_user_pages() while retaining mmap_sem held for write. This avoided possible races with userland racing an munmap() or mremap(). The page migration patch, however, switched to using mm_populate() to prime the page mapping. mm_populate() cannot be called with mmap_sem held. Instead of dropping the mmap_sem, revert to the old behaviour and simply drop the use of mm_populate() since get_user_pages() will cause the pages to get mapped anyways.
