If a cpu unplug event has occured, we need to take the minimum of the provided nr_io_queues and the number of online cpus, otherwise we won't be able to connect them as blk-mq mapping won't dispatch to those queues. Reviewed-by:

When handling a new recv command, we grab a new rsp resource and check for the queue state being live. In case the queue is not in live state, we simply restore the rsp back to the free list. However in this flow we didn't set rsp->queue yet, so we cannot dereference it. Instead, make sure to initialize rsp->queue (and other rsp members) as soon as possible so we won't reference uninitialized variables. Reported-by:

This adds a new module parameter to null_blk, blocking. If set, null_blk will set the BLK_MQ_F_BLOCKING flag, indicating that it sometimes/always needs to block in its ->queue_rq() function. The intent is to help find regressions in blocking drivers, since not many of them exist. If null_blk is loaded with submit_queues > 1 and blocking=1, this shows the regression recently fixed by bf4907c0. Reviewed-by:

Commit a4d907b6 unified the single and multi queue request handlers, but in the process, it also screwed up the locking balance and calls blk_mq_try_issue_directly() with the ctx preempt lock held. This is a problem for drivers that have set BLK_MQ_F_BLOCKING, since now they can't reliably sleep. While in there, protect against similar issues in the future, by adding a might_sleep() trigger in the BLOCKING path for direct issue or queue run. Reported-by:

Currently we return true in blk_mq_dispatch_rq_list() if we queued IO successfully, but we really want to return whether or not the we made progress. Progress includes if we got an error return. If we don't, this can lead to a hang in blk_mq_sched_dispatch_requests() when a driver is draining IO by returning BLK_MQ_QUEUE_ERROR instead of manually ending the IO in error and return BLK_MQ_QUEUE_OK.

When try to issue a request directly and we fail we will requeue the request, but call blk_mq_end_request() as well. This leads to the completed request being on a queuelist and getting ended twice, which causes list corruption in schedulers and other shenanigans. Signed-off-by:

blkg_conf_prep() currently calls blkg_lookup_create() while holding request queue spinlock. This means allocating memory for struct blkcg_gq has to be made non-blocking.

Machines with a lot of cpus are more vulnerable to this condition. Do struct blkcg_gq allocations outside the queue spinlock to allow blocking during memory allocations. Suggested-by:

Before commit 780db207(blk-mq: decouble blk-mq freezing from generic bypassing), the dying flag is checked before entering queue, and Tejun converts the checking into .mq_freeze_depth, and assumes the counter is increased just after dying flag is set. Unfortunately we doesn't do that in blk_set_queue_dying(). This patch calls blk_freeze_queue_start() in blk_set_queue_dying(), so that we can block new I/O coming once the queue is set as dying. Given blk_set_queue_dying() is always called in remove path of block device, and queue will be cleaned up later, we don't need to worry about undoing the counter.

Ming Lei authored
When iterating busy requests in timeout handler, if the STARTED flag of one request isn't set, that means the request is being processed in block layer or driver, and isn't submitted to hardware yet. In current implementation of blk_mq_check_expired(), if the request queue becomes dying, un-started requests are handled as being completed/freed immediately. This way is wrong, and can cause rq corruption or double allocation[1][2], when doing I/O and removing&resetting NVMe device at the sametime. This patch fixes several issues reported by Yi Zhang.

One hard problem adding .low limit is to detect idle cgroup. If one cgroup doesn't dispatch enough IO against its low limit, we must have a mechanism to determine if other cgroups dispatch more IO. We added the think time detection mechanism before, but it doesn't work for all workloads. Here we add a latency based approach. We already have mechanism to calculate latency threshold for each IO size. For every IO dispatched from a cgorup, we compare its latency against its threshold and record the info. If most IO latency is below threshold (in the code I use 75%), the cgroup could be treated idle and other cgroups can dispatch more IO. Currently this latency target check is only for SSD as we can't calcualte the latency target for hard disk. And this is only for cgroup leaf node so far. Signed-off-by:

User configures latency target, but the latency threshold for each request size isn't fixed. For a SSD, the IO latency highly depends on request size. To calculate latency threshold, we sample some data, eg, average latency for request size 4k, 8k, 16k, 32k .. 1M. The latency threshold of each request size will be the sample latency (I'll call it base latency) plus latency target. For example, the base latency for request size 4k is 80us and user configures latency target 60us. The 4k latency threshold will be 80 + 60 = 140us. To sample data, we calculate the order base 2 of rounded up IO sectors. If the IO size is bigger than 1M, it will be accounted as 1M. Since the calculation does round up, the base latency will be slightly smaller than actual value. Also if there isn't any IO dispatched for a specific IO size, we will use the base latency of smaller IO size for this IO size. But we shouldn't sample data at any time. The base latency is supposed to be latency where disk isn't congested, because we use latency threshold to schedule IOs between cgroups. If disk is congested, the latency is higher, using it for scheduling is meaningless. Hence we only do the sampling when block throttling is in the LOW limit, with assumption disk isn't congested in such state. If the assumption isn't true, eg, low limit is too high, calculated latency threshold will be higher. Hard disk is completely different. Latency depends on spindle seek instead of request size. Currently this feature is SSD only, we probably can use a fixed threshold like 4ms for hard disk though. Signed-off-by:

Currently there is no way to know the request size when the request is finished. Next patch will need this info. We could add extra field to record the size, but blk_issue_stat has enough space to record it, so this patch just overloads blk_issue_stat. With this, we will have 49bits to track time, which still is very long time. Signed-off-by:

Here we introduce per-cgroup latency target. The target determines how a cgroup can afford latency increasement. We will use the target latency to calculate a threshold and use it to schedule IO for cgroups. If a cgroup's bandwidth is below its low limit but its average latency is below the threshold, other cgroups can safely dispatch more IO even their bandwidth is higher than their low limits. On the other hand, if the first cgroup's latency is higher than the threshold, other cgroups are throttled to their low limits. So the target latency determines how we efficiently utilize free disk resource without sacifice of worload's IO latency. For example, assume 4k IO average latency is 50us when disk isn't congested. A cgroup sets the target latency to 30us. Then the cgroup can accept 50+30=80us IO latency. If the cgroupt's average IO latency is 90us and its bandwidth is below low limit, other cgroups are throttled to their low limit. If the cgroup's average IO latency is 60us, other cgroups are allowed to dispatch more IO. When other cgroups dispatch more IO, the first cgroup's IO latency will increase. If it increases to 81us, we then throttle other cgroups. User will configure the interface in this way: echo "8:16 rbps=2097152 wbps=max latency=100 idle=200" > io.low latency is in microsecond unit By default, latency target is 0, which means to guarantee IO latency.

Last patch introduces a way to detect idle cgroup. We use it to make upgrade/downgrade decision. And the new algorithm can detect completely idle cgroup too, so we can delete the corresponding code. Signed-off-by:

Add interface to configure the threshold. The io.low interface will like: echo "8:16 rbps=2097152 wbps=max idle=2000" > io.low idle is in microsecond unit. Signed-off-by:

A cgroup gets assigned a low limit, but the cgroup could never dispatch enough IO to cross the low limit. In such case, the queue state machine will remain in LIMIT_LOW state and all other cgroups will be throttled according to low limit. This is unfair for other cgroups. We should treat the cgroup idle and upgrade the state machine to lower state. We also have a downgrade logic. If the state machine upgrades because of cgroup idle (real idle), the state machine will downgrade soon as the cgroup is below its low limit. This isn't what we want. A more complicated case is cgroup isn't idle when queue is in LIMIT_LOW. But when queue gets upgraded to lower state, other cgroups could dispatch more IO and this cgroup can't dispatch enough IO, so the cgroup is below its low limit and looks like idle (fake idle). In this case, the queue should downgrade soon. The key to determine if we should do downgrade is to detect if cgroup is truely idle. Unfortunately it's very hard to determine if a cgroup is real idle. This patch uses the 'think time check' idea from CFQ for the purpose. Please note, the idea doesn't work for all workloads. For example, a workload with io depth 8 has disk utilization 100%, hence think time is 0, eg, not idle. But the workload can run higher bandwidth with io depth 16. Compared to io depth 16, the io depth 8 workload is idle. We use the idea to roughly determine if a cgroup is idle. We treat a cgroup idle if its think time is above a threshold (by default 1ms for SSD and 100ms for HD). The idea is think time above the threshold will start to harm performance. HD is much slower so a longer think time is ok. The patch (and the latter patches) uses 'unsigned long' to track time. We convert 'ns' to 'us' with 'ns >> 10'. This is fast but loses precision, should not a big deal. Signed-off-by:
