      writeback: make backing_dev_info host cgroup-specific bdi_writebacks · 52ebea74
      Tejun Heo authored
      For the planned cgroup writeback support, on each bdi
      (backing_dev_info), each memcg will be served by a separate wb
      (bdi_writeback).  This patch updates bdi so that a bdi can host
      multiple wbs (bdi_writebacks).
      
      On the default hierarchy, blkcg implicitly enables memcg.  This allows
      using memcg's page ownership for attributing writeback IOs, and every
      memcg - blkcg combination can be served by its own wb by assigning a
      dedicated wb to each memcg.  This means that there may be multiple
      wb's of a bdi mapped to the same blkcg.  As congested state is per
      blkcg - bdi combination, those wb's should share the same congested
      state.  This is achieved by tracking congested state via
      bdi_writeback_congested structs which are keyed by blkcg.
      
      bdi->wb remains unchanged and will keep serving the root cgroup.
      cgwb's (cgroup wb's) for non-root cgroups are created on-demand or
      looked up while dirtying an inode according to the memcg of the page
      being dirtied or current task.  Each cgwb is indexed on bdi->cgwb_tree
      by its memcg id.  Once an inode is associated with its wb, it can be
      retrieved using inode_to_wb().
      
      Currently, none of the filesystems has FS_CGROUP_WRITEBACK and all
      pages will keep being associated with bdi->wb.
      
      v3: inode_attach_wb() in account_page_dirtied() moved inside
          mapping_cap_account_dirty() block where it's known to be !NULL.
          Also, an unnecessary NULL check before kfree() removed.  Both
          detected by the kbuild bot.
      
      v2: Updated so that wb association is per inode and wb is per memcg
          rather than blkcg.

      writeback: add {CONFIG|BDI_CAP|FS}_CGROUP_WRITEBACK · 89e9b9e0
      Tejun Heo authored
      cgroup writeback requires support from both bdi and filesystem sides.
      Add BDI_CAP_CGROUP_WRITEBACK and FS_CGROUP_WRITEBACK to indicate
      support and enable BDI_CAP_CGROUP_WRITEBACK on block based bdi's by
      default.  Also, define CONFIG_CGROUP_WRITEBACK which is enabled if
      both MEMCG and BLK_CGROUP are enabled.
      
      inode_cgwb_enabled() which determines whether a given inode's both bdi
      and fs support cgroup writeback is added.

      bdi: separate out congested state into a separate struct · 4aa9c692
      Tejun Heo authored
      Currently, a wb's (bdi_writeback) congestion state is carried in its
      ->state field; however, cgroup writeback support will require multiple
      wb's sharing the same congestion state.  This patch separates out
      congestion state into its own struct - struct bdi_writeback_congested.
      A new field wb field, wb_congested, points to its associated congested
      struct.  The default wb, bdi->wb, always points to bdi->wb_congested.
      
      While this patch adds a layer of indirection, it doesn't introduce any
      behavior changes.

      bdi: make inode_to_bdi() inline · a212b105
      Tejun Heo authored
      Now that bdi definitions are moved to backing-dev-defs.h,
      backing-dev.h can include blkdev.h and inline inode_to_bdi() without
      worrying about introducing circular include dependency.  The function
      gets called from hot paths and fairly trivial.
      
      This patch makes inode_to_bdi() and sb_is_blkdev_sb() that the
      function calls inline.  blockdev_superblock and noop_backing_dev_info
      are EXPORT_GPL'd to allow the inline functions to be used from
      modules.
      
      While at it, make sb_is_blkdev_sb() return bool instead of int.
      
      v2: Fixed typo in description as suggested by Jan.

      writeback: separate out include/linux/backing-dev-defs.h · 66114cad
      Tejun Heo authored
      With the planned cgroup writeback support, backing-dev related
      declarations will be more widely used across block and cgroup;
      unfortunately, including backing-dev.h from include/linux/blkdev.h
      makes cyclic include dependency quite likely.
      
      This patch separates out backing-dev-defs.h which only has the
      essential definitions and updates blkdev.h to include it.  c files
      which need access to more backing-dev details now include
      backing-dev.h directly.  This takes backing-dev.h off the common
      include dependency chain making it a lot easier to use it across block
      and cgroup.
      
      v2: fs/fat build failure fixed.

      writeback: move backing_dev_info->wb_lock and ->worklist into bdi_writeback · f0054bb1
      Tejun Heo authored
      Currently, a bdi (backing_dev_info) embeds single wb (bdi_writeback)
      and the role of the separation is unclear.  For cgroup support for
      writeback IOs, a bdi will be updated to host multiple wb's where each
      wb serves writeback IOs of a different cgroup on the bdi.  To achieve
      that, a wb should carry all states necessary for servicing writeback
      IOs for a cgroup independently.
      
      This patch moves bdi->wb_lock and ->worklist into wb.
      
      * The lock protects bdi->worklist and bdi->wb.dwork scheduling.  While
        moving, rename it to wb->work_lock as wb->wb_lock is confusing.
        Also, move wb->dwork downwards so that it's colocated with the new
        ->work_lock and ->work_list fields.
      
      * bdi_writeback_workfn()		-> wb_workfn()
        bdi_wakeup_thread_delayed(bdi)	-> wb_wakeup_delayed(wb)
        bdi_wakeup_thread(bdi)		-> wb_wakeup(wb)

        get_next_work_item(bdi)		-> get_next_work_item(wb)
      
      * bdi_wb_shutdown() is renamed to wb_shutdown() and now takes @wb.
        The function contained parts which belong to the containing bdi
        rather than the wb itself - testing cap_writeback_dirty and
        bdi_remove_from_list() invocation.  Those are moved to
        bdi_unregister().
      
      * bdi_wb_{init|exit}() are renamed to wb_{init|exit}().
        Initializations of the moved bdi->wb_lock and ->work_list are
        relocated from bdi_init() to wb_init().
      
      * As there's still only one bdi_writeback per backing_dev_info, all
        uses of bdi->state are mechanically replaced with bdi->wb.state
        introducing no behavior changes.

      memcg: implement mem_cgroup_css_from_page() · ad7fa852

      Implement mem_cgroup_css_from_page() which returns the
      cgroup_subsys_state of the memcg associated with a given page on the
      default hierarchy.  This will be used by cgroup writeback support.
      
      This function assumes that page->mem_cgroup association doesn't change
      until the page is released, which is true on the default hierarchy as
      long as replace_page_cache_page() is not used.  As the only user of
      replace_page_cache_page() is FUSE which won't support cgroup writeback
      for the time being, this works for now, and replace_page_cache_page()
      will soon be updated so that the invariant actually holds.
      
      Note that the RCU protected page->mem_cgroup access is consistent with
      other usages across memcg but ultimately incorrect.  These unlocked
      accesses are missing required barriers.  page->mem_cgroup should be
      made an RCU pointer and updated and accessed using RCU operations.
      
      v4: Instead of triggering WARN, return the root css on the traditional
          hierarchies.  This makes the function a lot easier to deal with
          especially as there's no light way to synchronize against
          hierarchy rebinding.

      memcg: add mem_cgroup_root_css · 56161634
      Tejun Heo authored
      Add global mem_cgroup_root_css which points to the root memcg css.
      This will be used by cgroup writeback support.  If memcg is disabled,
      it's defined as ERR_PTR(-EINVAL).

      blkcg: always create the blkcg_gq for the root blkcg · ec13b1d6
      Tejun Heo authored
      Currently, blkcg does a minor optimization where the root blkcg is
      created when the first blkcg policy is activated on a queue and
      destroyed on the deactivation of the last.  On systems where blkcg is
      configured but not used, this saves one blkcg_gq struct per queue.  On
      systems where blkcg is actually used, there's no difference.  The only
      case where this can lead to any meaninful, albeit still minute, save
      in memory consumption is when all blkcg policies are deactivated after
      being widely used in the system, which is a hihgly unlikely scenario.
      
      The conditional existence of root blkcg_gq has already created several
      bugs in blkcg and became an issue once again for the new per-cgroup
      wb_congested mechanism for cgroup writeback support leading to a NULL
      dereference when no blkcg policy is active.  This is really not worth
      bothering with.  This patch makes blkcg always allocate and link the
      root blkcg_gq and release it only on queue destruction.

      update !CONFIG_BLK_CGROUP dummies in include/linux/blk-cgroup.h · efa7d1c7
      Tejun Heo authored
      The header file will be used more widely with the pending cgroup
      writeback support and the current set of dummy declarations aren't
      enough to handle different config combinations.  Update as follows.
      
      * Drop the struct cgroup declaration.  None of the dummy defs need it.
      
      * Define blkcg as an empty struct instead of just declaring it.
      
      * Wrap dummy function defs in CONFIG_BLOCK.  Some functions use block
        data types and none of them are to be used w/o block enabled.

      memcg: add per cgroup dirty page accounting · c4843a75
      Greg Thelen authored
      When modifying PG_Dirty on cached file pages, update the new
      MEM_CGROUP_STAT_DIRTY counter.  This is done in the same places where
      global NR_FILE_DIRTY is managed.  The new memcg stat is visible in the
      per memcg memory.stat cgroupfs file.  The most recent past attempt at
      this was http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel.cgroups/8632
      
      The new accounting supports future efforts to add per cgroup dirty
      page throttling and writeback.  It also helps an administrator break
      down a container's memory usage and provides evidence to understand
      memcg oom kills (the new dirty count is included in memcg oom kill
      messages).
      
      The ability to move page accounting between memcg
      (memory.move_charge_at_immigrate) makes this accounting more
      complicated than the global counter.  The existing
      mem_cgroup_{begin,end}_page_stat() lock is used to serialize move
      accounting with stat updates.
      Typical update operation:
      	memcg = mem_cgroup_begin_page_stat(page)
      	if (TestSetPageDirty()) {
      		[...]
      		mem_cgroup_update_page_stat(memcg)
      	}
      	mem_cgroup_end_page_stat(memcg)
      
      Summary of mem_cgroup_end_page_stat() overhead:
      - Without CONFIG_MEMCG it's a no-op
      - With CONFIG_MEMCG and no inter memcg task movement, it's just
        rcu_read_lock()
      - With CONFIG_MEMCG and inter memcg  task movement, it's
        rcu_read_lock() + spin_lock_irqsave()
      
      A memcg parameter is added to several routines because their callers
      now grab mem_cgroup_begin_page_stat() which returns the memcg later
      needed by for mem_cgroup_update_page_stat().
      
      Because mem_cgroup_begin_page_stat() may disable interrupts, some
      adjustments are needed:
      - move __mark_inode_dirty() from __set_page_dirty() to its caller.
        __mark_inode_dirty() locking does not want interrupts disabled.
      - use spin_lock_irqsave(tree_lock) rather than spin_lock_irq() in
        __delete_from_page_cache(), replace_page_cache_page(),
        invalidate_complete_page2(), and __remove_mapping().

      page_writeback: revive cancel_dirty_page() in a restricted form · 11f81bec
      Tejun Heo authored
      cancel_dirty_page() had some issues and b9ea2515 ("page_writeback:
      clean up mess around cancel_dirty_page()") replaced it with
      account_page_cleaned() which makes the caller responsible for clearing
      the dirty bit; unfortunately, the planned changes for cgroup writeback
      support requires synchronization between dirty bit manipulation and
      stat updates.  While we can open-code such synchronization in each
      account_page_cleaned() callsite, that's gonna be unnecessarily awkward
      and verbose.
      
      This patch revives cancel_dirty_page() but in a more restricted form.
      All it does is TestClearPageDirty() followed by account_page_cleaned()
      invocation if the page was dirty.  This helper covers all
      account_page_cleaned() usages except for __delete_from_page_cache()
      which is a special case anyway and left alone.  As this leaves no
      module user for account_page_cleaned(), EXPORT_SYMBOL() is dropped
      from it.
      
      This patch just revives cancel_dirty_page() as a trivial wrapper to
      replace equivalent usages and doesn't introduce any functional
      changes.

      blk-mq: Shared tag enhancements · f26cdc85
      Keith Busch authored
      Storage controllers may expose multiple block devices that share hardware
      resources managed by blk-mq. This patch enhances the shared tags so a
      low-level driver can access the shared resources not tied to the unshared
      h/w contexts. This way the LLD can dynamically add and delete disks and
      request queues without having to track all the request_queue hctx's to
      iterate outstanding tags.

      block, dm: don't copy bios for request clones · 5f1b670d
      Christoph Hellwig authored
      Currently dm-multipath has to clone the bios for every request sent
      to the lower devices, which wastes cpu cycles and ties down memory.
      
      This patch instead adds a new REQ_CLONE flag that instructs req_bio_endio
      to not complete bios attached to a request, which we set on clone
      requests similar to bios in a flush sequence.  With this change I/O
      errors on a path failure only get propagated to dm-multipath, which
      can then either resubmit the I/O or complete the bios on the original
      request.
      
      I've done some basic testing of this on a Linux target with ALUA support,
      and it survives path failures during I/O nicely.

      block: remove management of bi_remaining when restoring original bi_end_io · 326e1dbb
      Mike Snitzer authored
      Commit c4cf5261 ("bio: skip atomic inc/dec of ->bi_remaining for
      non-chains") regressed all existing callers that followed this pattern:
       1) saving a bio's original bi_end_io
       2) wiring up an intermediate bi_end_io
       3) restoring the original bi_end_io from intermediate bi_end_io
       4) calling bio_endio() to execute the restored original bi_end_io
      
      The regression was due to BIO_CHAIN only ever getting set if
      bio_inc_remaining() is called.  For the above pattern it isn't set until
      step 3 above (step 2 would've needed to establish BIO_CHAIN).  As such
      the first bio_endio(), in step 2 above, never decremented __bi_remaining
      before calling the intermediate bi_end_io -- leaving __bi_remaining with
      the value 1 instead of 0.  When bio_inc_remaining() occurred during step
      3 it brought it to a value of 2.  When the second bio_endio() was
      called, in step 4 above, it should've called the original bi_end_io but
      it didn't because there was an extra reference that wasn't dropped (due
      to atomic operations being optimized away since BIO_CHAIN wasn't set
      upfront).
      
      Fix this issue by removing the __bi_remaining management complexity for
      all callers that use the above pattern -- bio_chain() is the only
      interface that _needs_ to be concerned with __bi_remaining.  For the
      above pattern callers just expect the bi_end_io they set to get called!
      Remove bio_endio_nodec() and also remove all bio_inc_remaining() calls
      that aren't associated with the bio_chain() interface.
      
      Also, the bio_inc_remaining() interface has been moved local to bio.c.
      
      Fixes: c4cf5261 ("bio: skip atomic inc/dec of ->bi_remaining for non-chains")

      block: replace trylock with mutex_lock in blkdev_reread_part() · b04a5636
      Ming Lei authored
      The only possible problem of using mutex_lock() instead of trylock
      is about deadlock.
      
      If there aren't any locks held before calling blkdev_reread_part(),
      deadlock can't be caused by this conversion.
      
      If there are locks held before calling blkdev_reread_part(),
      and if these locks arn't required in open, close handler and I/O
      path, deadlock shouldn't be caused too.
      
      Both user space's ioctl(BLKRRPART) and md_setup_drive() from
      init/do_mounts_md.c belongs to the 1st case, so the conversion is safe
      for the two cases.
      
      For loop, the previous patches in this pathset has fixed the ABBA lock
      dependency, so the conversion is OK.
      
      For nbd, tx_lock is held when calling the function:
      
      	- both open and release won't hold the lock
      	- when blkdev_reread_part() is run, I/O thread has been stopped
      	already, so tx_lock won't be acquired in I/O path at that time.
      	- so the conversion won't cause deadlock for nbd
      
      For dasd, both dasd_open(), dasd_release() and request function don't
      acquire any mutex/semphone, so the conversion should be safe.

      blk-mq: make plug work for mutiple disks and queues · 5b3f341f
      Shaohua Li authored
      Last patch makes plug work for multiple queue case. However it only
      works for single disk case, because it assumes only one request in the
      plug list. If a task is accessing multiple disks, eg MD/DM, the
      assumption is wrong. Let blk_attempt_plug_merge() record request from
      the same queue.
      
      V2: use NULL parameter in !mq case. Fix a bug. Add comments in
      blk_attempt_plug_merge to make it less (hopefully) confusion.

      blk-mq: do limited block plug for multiple queue case · f984df1f
      Shaohua Li authored
      plug is still helpful for workload with IO merge, but it can be harmful
      otherwise especially with multiple hardware queues, as there is
      (supposed) no lock contention in this case and plug can introduce
      latency. For multiple queues, we do limited plug, eg plug only if there
      is request merge. If a request doesn't have merge with following
      request, the requet will be dispatched immediately.
      
      V2: check blk_queue_nomerges() as suggested by Jeff.

      blk-mq: avoid re-initialize request which is failed in direct dispatch · 239ad215
      Shaohua Li authored
      If we directly issue a request and it fails, we use
      blk_mq_merge_queue_io(). But we already assigned bio to a request in
      blk_mq_bio_to_request. blk_mq_merge_queue_io shouldn't run
      blk_mq_bio_to_request again.

      blk-mq: fix plugging in blk_sq_make_request · e6c4438b
      Jeff Moyer authored
      The following appears in blk_sq_make_request:
      
      	/*
      	 * If we have multiple hardware queues, just go directly to
      	 * one of those for sync IO.
      	 */
      
      We clearly don't have multiple hardware queues, here!  This comment was
      introduced with this commit 07068d5b (blk-mq: split make request
      handler for multi and single queue):
      
          We want slightly different behavior from them:
      
          - On single queue devices, we currently use the per-process plug
            for deferred IO and for merging.
      
          - On multi queue devices, we don't use the per-process plug, but
            we want to go straight to hardware for SYNC IO.
      
      The old code had this:
      
              use_plug = !is_flush_fua && ((q->nr_hw_queues == 1) || !is_sync);
      
      and that was converted to:
      
      	use_plug = !is_flush_fua && !is_sync;
      
      which is not equivalent.  For the single queue case, that second half of
      the && expression is always true.  So, what I think was actually inteded
      follows (and this more closely matches what is done in blk_queue_bio).
      
      V2: delete the 'likely', which should not be a big deal
