2021-04-11io-wq: eliminate the need for a manager threadJens Axboe
io-wq relies on a manager thread to create/fork new workers, as needed. But there's really no strong need for it anymore. We have the following cases that fork a new worker: 1) Work queue. This is done from the task itself always, and it's trivial to create a worker off that path, if needed. 2) All workers have gone to sleep, and we have more work. This is called off the sched out path. For this case, use a task_work items to queue a fork-worker operation. 3) Hashed work completion. Don't think we need to do anything off this case. If need be, it could just use approach 2 as well. Part of this change is incrementing the running worker count before the fork, to avoid cases where we observe we need a worker and then queue creation of one. Then new work comes in, we fork a new one. That last queue operation should have waited for the previous worker to come up, it's quite possible we don't even need it. Hence move the worker running from before we fork it off to more efficiently handle that case. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@kernel.dk>

2021-03-06io-wq: always track creds for async issueJens Axboe
If we go async with a request, grab the creds that the task currently has assigned and make sure that the async side switches to them. This is handled in the same way that we do for registered personalities. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@kernel.dk>
2021-03-05io_uring: move to using create_io_thread()Jens Axboe
This allows us to do task creation and setup without needing to use completions to try and synchronize with the starting thread. Get rid of the old io_wq_fork_thread() wrapper, and the 'wq' and 'worker' startup completion events - we can now do setup before the task is running. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@kernel.dk>
2021-03-04io_uring: move cred assignment into io_issue_sqe()Jens Axboe
If we move it in there, then we no longer have to care about it in io-wq. This means we can drop the cred handling in io-wq, and we can drop the REQ_F_WORK_INITIALIZED flag and async init functions as that was the last user of it since we moved to the new workers. Then we can also drop io_wq_work->creds, and just hold the personality u16 in there instead. Suggested-by: Pavel Begunkov <asml.silence@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@kernel.dk>
2021-03-04io-wq: provide an io_wq_put_and_exit() helperJens Axboe
If we put the io-wq from io_uring, we really want it to exit. Provide a helper that does that for us. Couple that with not having the manager hold a reference to the 'wq' and the normal SQPOLL exit will tear down the io-wq context appropriate. On the io-wq side, our wq context is per task, so only the task itself is manipulating ->manager and hence it's safe to check and clear without any extra locking. We just need to ensure that the manager task stays around, in case it exits. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@kernel.dk>
2021-02-25io-wq: improve manager/worker handling over execJens Axboe
exec will cancel any threads, including the ones that io-wq is using. This isn't a problem, in fact we'd prefer it to be that way since it means we know that any async work cancels naturally without having to handle it proactively. But it does mean that we need to setup a new manager, as the manager and workers are gone. Handle this at queue time, and cancel work if we fail. Since the manager can go away without us noticing, ensure that the manager itself holds a reference to the 'wq' as well. Rename io_wq_destroy() to io_wq_put() to reflect that. In the future we can now simplify exec cancelation handling, for now just leave it the same. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@kernel.dk>
2021-02-25io-wq: make buffered file write hashed work map per-ctxJens Axboe
Before the io-wq thread change, we maintained a hash work map and lock per-node per-ring. That wasn't ideal, as we really wanted it to be per ring. But now that we have per-task workers, the hash map ends up being just per-task. That'll work just fine for the normal case of having one task use a ring, but if you share the ring between tasks, then it's considerably worse than it was before. Make the hash map per ctx instead, which provides full per-ctx buffered write serialization on hashed writes. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@kernel.dk>
2021-02-23io-wq: remove nr_process accountingJens Axboe
We're now just using fork like we would from userspace, so there's no need to try and impose extra restrictions or accounting on the user side of things. That's already being done for us. That also means we don't have to pass in the user_struct anymore, that's correctly inherited through ->creds on fork. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@kernel.dk>
2021-02-21io-wq: make io_wq_fork_thread() available to other usersJens Axboe
We want to use this in io_uring proper as well, for the SQPOLL thread. Rename it from fork_thread() to io_wq_fork_thread(), and make it available through the io-wq.h header. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@kernel.dk>
2021-02-21io_uring: remove io_identityJens Axboe

2021-02-21io_uring: remove any grabbing of contextJens Axboe
The async workers are siblings of the task itself, so by definition we have all the state that we need. Remove any of the state grabbing that we have, and requests flagging what they need. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@kernel.dk>
2021-02-21io-wq: fork worker threads from original taskJens Axboe
Instead of using regular kthread kernel threads, create kernel threads that are like a real thread that the task would create. This ensures that we get all the context that we need, without having to carry that state around. This greatly reduces the code complexity, and the risk of missing state for a given request type. With the move away from kthread, we can also dump everything related to assigned state to the new threads. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@kernel.dk>

2021-02-21io_uring: remove the need for relying on an io-wq fallback workerJens Axboe
We hit this case when the task is exiting, and we need somewhere to do background cleanup of requests. Instead of relying on the io-wq task manager to do this work for us, just stuff it somewhere where we can safely run it ourselves directly. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@kernel.dk>
2021-02-10io_uring: provide FIFO ordering for task_workJens Axboe
task_work is a LIFO list, due to how it's implemented as a lockless list. For long chains of task_work, this can be problematic as the first entry added is the last one processed. Similarly, we'd waste a lot of CPU cycles reversing this list. Wrap the task_work so we have a single task_work entry per task per ctx, and use that to run it in the right order.

2021-02-04io_uring/io-wq: return 2-step work swap schemePavel Begunkov
Saving one lock/unlock for io-wq is not super important, but adds some ugliness in the code. More important, atomic decs not turning it to zero for some archs won't give the right ordering/barriers so the io_steal_work() may pretty easily get subtly and completely broken.

2020-12-18io_uring: fix io_wqe->work_list corruptionXiaoguang Wang
For the first time a req punted to io-wq, we'll initialize io_wq_work's list to be NULL, then insert req to io_wqe->work_list. If this req is not inserted into tail of io_wqe->work_list, this req's io_wq_work list will point to another req's io_wq_work. For splitted bio case, this req maybe inserted to io_wqe->work_list repeatedly, once we insert it to tail of io_wqe->work_list for the second time, now io_wq_work->list->next will be invalid pointer, which then result in many strang error, panic, kernel soft-lockup, rcu stall, etc. In my vm, kernel doest not have commit cc29e1bf0d63f7 ("block: disable iopoll for split bio"), below fio job can reproduce this bug steadily: [global] name=iouring-sqpoll-iopoll-1 ioengine=io_uring iodepth=128 numjobs=1 thread rw=randread direct=1 registerfiles=1 hipri=1 bs=4m size=100M runtime=120 time_based group_reporting randrepeat=0 [device] directory=/home/feiman.wxg/mntpoint/ # an ext4 mount point If we have commit cc29e1bf0d63f7 ("block: disable iopoll for split bio"), there will no splitted bio case for polled io, but I think we still to need to fix this list corruption, it also should maybe go to stable branchs.

2020-09-30io_uring: add blkcg accounting to offloaded operationsDennis Zhou
There are a few operations that are offloaded to the worker threads. In this case, we lose process context and end up in kthread context. This results in ios to be not accounted to the issuing cgroup and consequently end up as issued by root. Just like others, adopt the personality of the blkcg too when issuing via the workqueues.

2020-03-23io-wq: handle hashed writes in chainsPavel Begunkov
We always punt async buffered writes to an io-wq helper, as the core kernel does not have IOCB_NOWAIT support for that. Most buffered async writes complete very quickly, as it's just a copy operation. This means that doing multiple locking roundtrips on the shared wqe lock for each buffered write is wasteful. Additionally, buffered writes are hashed work items, which means that any buffered write to a given file is serialized. Keep identicaly hashed work items contiguously in @wqe->work_list, and track a tail for each hash bucket. On dequeue of a hashed item, splice all of the same hash in one go using the tracked tail. Until the batch is done, the caller doesn't have to synchronize with the wqe or worker locks again. Signed-off-by: Pavel Begunkov <asml.silence@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@kernel.dk>
