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(). At that point in code, the field was guaranteed to be %NULL anyway. This patch doesn't introduce any functional change.

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. This doesn't introduce any functional difference. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@kernel.dk>

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.

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.

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.

* 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>

ioprio/cgroup change was handled by marking the changed state in ioc and, on the following access to the ioc, performing RCU-protected iteration through all cic's grabbing the matching queue_lock. This patch moves the changed state to each cic. When ioprio or cgroup changes, the respective bit is set on all cic's of the ioc and when each of those cic (not ioc) is accessed, change is applied for that specific ioc-queue pair. This also fixes the following two race conditions between setting and clearing of changed states. * Missing barrier between assign/load of ioprio and ioprio_changed allowed applying old ioprio. * Change requests could happen between application of change and clearing of changed variables.

Ignoring copy_io() during fork, io_context can be allocated from two places - current_io_context() and set_task_ioprio(). The former is always called from local task while the latter can be called from different task. The synchornization between them are peculiar and dubious. * current_io_context() doesn't grab task_lock() and assumes that if it saw %NULL ->io_context, it would stay that way until allocation and assignment is complete. It has smp_wmb() between alloc/init and assignment. * set_task_ioprio() grabs task_lock() for assignment and does smp_read_barrier_depends() between "ioc = task->io_context" and "if (ioc)". Unfortunately, this doesn't achieve anything - the latter is not a dependent load of the former. ie, if ioc itself were being dereferenced "ioc->xxx", it would mean something (not sure what tho) but as the code currently stands, the dependent read barrier is noop. As only one of the the two test-assignment sequences is task_lock() protected, the task_lock() can't do much about race between the two. Nothing prevents current_io_context() and set_task_ioprio() allocating its own ioc for the same task and overwriting the other's. Also, set_task_ioprio() can race with exiting task and create a new ioc after exit_io_context() is finished. ioc get/put doesn't have any reason to be complex. The only hot path is accessing the existing ioc of %current, which is simple to achieve given that ->io_context is never destroyed as long as the task is alive. All other paths can happily go through task_lock() like all other task sub structures without impacting anything. This patch updates ioc get/put so that it becomes more conventional. * alloc_io_context() is replaced with get_task_io_context(). This is the only interface which can acquire access to ioc of another task. On return, the caller has an explicit reference to the object which should be put using put_io_context() afterwards. * The functionality of current_io_context() remains the same but when creating a new ioc, it shares the code path with get_task_io_context() and always goes through task_lock(). * get_io_context() now means incrementing ref on an ioc which the caller already has access to (be that an explicit refcnt or implicit %current one). * PF_EXITING inhibits creation of new io_context and once exit_io_context() is finished, it's guaranteed that both ioc acquisition functions return %NULL. * All users are updated. Most are trivial but smp_read_barrier_depends() removal from cfq_get_io_context() needs a bit of explanation. I suppose the original intention was to ensure ioc->ioprio is visible when set_task_ioprio() allocates new io_context and installs it; however, this wouldn't have worked because set_task_ioprio() doesn't have wmb between init and install. There are other problems with this which will be fixed in another patch. * While at it, use NUMA_NO_NODE instead of -1 for wildcard node specification. -v2: Vivek spotted contamination from debug patch.

Since commit a25cac51 ("proc: Consider NO_HZ when printing idle and iowait times") we are reporting idle/io_wait time also while a CPU is tickless. We rely on get_{idle,iowait}_time functions to retrieve proper data. These functions, however, use usecs_to_cputime to translate micro seconds time to cputime64_t. This is just an alias to usecs_to_jiffies which reduces the data type from u64 to unsigned int and also checks whether the given parameter overflows jiffies_to_usecs(MAX_JIFFY_OFFSET) and returns MAX_JIFFY_OFFSET in that case. When we overflow depends on CONFIG_HZ but especially for CONFIG_HZ_300 it is quite low (1431649781) so we are getting MAX_JIFFY_OFFSET for >3000s! until we overflow unsigned int. Just for reference CONFIG_HZ_100 has an overflow window around 20s, CONFIG_HZ_250 ~8s and CONFIG_HZ_1000 ~2s. This results in a bug when people saw [h]top going mad reporting 100% CPU usage even though there was basically no CPU load. The reason was simply that /proc/stat stopped reporting idle/io_wait changes (and reported MAX_JIFFY_OFFSET) and so the only change happening was for user system time. Let's use nsecs_to_jiffies64 instead which doesn't reduce the precision to 32b type and it is much more appropriate for cumulative time values (unlike usecs_to_jiffies which intended for timeout calculations).

Commit f5252e00 ("mm: avoid null pointer access in vm_struct via /proc/vmallocinfo") adds newly allocated vm_structs to the vmlist after it is fully initialised. Unfortunately, it did not check that __vmalloc_area_node() successfully populated the area. In the event of allocation failure, the vmalloc area is freed but the pointer to freed memory is inserted into the vmlist leading to a a crash later in get_vmalloc_info(). This patch adds a check for ____vmalloc_area_node() failure within __vmalloc_node_range. It does not use "goto fail" as in the previous error path as a warning was already displayed by __vmalloc_area_node() before it called vfree in its failure path.

The issue was introduced in 3.0-rc1 by 6d3163ce ("mm: check if any page in a pageblock is reserved before marking it MIGRATE_RESERVE"). Make sure that start_pfn is always aligned to pageblock_nr_pages to ensure that pfn_valid s always called at the start of each pageblock. Architectures with holes in pageblocks will be correctly handled by pfn_valid_within in pageblock_is_reserved.

Commit 70b50f94 ("mm: thp: tail page refcounting fix") keeps all page_tail->_count zero at all times. But the current kernel does not set page_tail->_count to zero if a 1GB page is utilized. So when an IOMMU 1GB page is used by KVM, it wil result in a kernel oops because a tail page's _count does not equal zero. kernel BUG at include/linux/mm.h:386! invalid opcode: 0000 [#1] SMP Call Trace: gup_pud_range+0xb8/0x19d get_user_pages_fast+0xcb/0x192 ? trace_hardirqs_off+0xd/0xf hva_to_pfn+0x119/0x2f2 gfn_to_pfn_memslot+0x2c/0x2e kvm_iommu_map_pages+0xfd/0x1c1 kvm_iommu_map_memslots+0x7c/0xbd kvm_iommu_map_guest+0xaa/0xbf kvm_vm_ioctl_assigned_device+0x2ef/0xa47 kvm_vm_ioctl+0x36c/0x3a2 do_vfs_ioctl+0x49e/0x4e4 sys_ioctl+0x5a/0x7c system_call_fastpath+0x16/0x1b RIP gup_huge_pud+0xf2/0x159 Signed-off-by: Youquan Song <youquan.song@intel.com> Reviewed-by: Andrea Arcangeli <aarcange@redhat.com> Cc: <stable@vger.kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
