writeback_in_progress() currently takes @bdi and returns whether writeback is in progress on its root wb (bdi_writeback). In preparation for cgroup writeback support, make it take wb instead. While at it, make it an inline function. This patch doesn't make any functional difference. Signed-off-by:

For cgroup writeback support, all bdi-wide operations should be distributed to all its wb's (bdi_writeback's). This patch updates laptop_mode_timer_fn() so that it invokes wb_start_writeback() on all wb's rather than just the root one. As the intent is writing out all dirty data, there's no reason to split the number of pages to write. Signed-off-by:

bdi_start_writeback() is a thin wrapper on top of __wb_start_writeback() which is used only by laptop_mode_timer_fn(). This patches removes bdi_start_writeback(), renames __wb_start_writeback() to wb_start_writeback() and makes laptop_mode_timer_fn() use it instead. This doesn't cause any functional difference and will ease making laptop_mode_timer_fn() cgroup writeback aware. Signed-off-by:

bdi->min/max_ratio are user-configurable per-bdi knobs which regulate dirty limit of each bdi. For cgroup writeback, they need to be further distributed across wb's (bdi_writeback's) belonging to the configured bdi. This patch introduces wb_min_max_ratio() which distributes bdi->min/max_ratio according to a wb's proportion in the total active bandwidth of its bdi. v2: Update wb_min_max_ratio() to fix a bug where both min and max were assigned the min value and avoid calculations when possible.

There are several places in fs/fs-writeback.c which queues wb_writeback_work without checking whether the target wb (bdi_writeback) has dirty inodes or not. The only thing wb_writeback_work does is writing back the dirty inodes for the target wb and queueing a work item for a clean wb is essentially noop. There are some side effects such as bandwidth stats being updated and triggering tracepoints but these don't affect the operation in any meaningful way. This patch makes all writeback_inodes_sb_nr() and sync_inodes_sb() skip wb_queue_work() if the target bdi is clean. Also, it moves dirtiness check from wakeup_flusher_threads() to __wb_start_writeback() so that all its callers benefit from the check. While the overhead incurred by scheduling a noop work isn't currently significant, the overhead may be higher with cgroup writeback support as we may end up issuing noop work items to a lot of clean wb's.

bdi_has_dirty_io() used to only reflect whether the root wb (bdi_writeback) has dirty inodes. For cgroup writeback support, it needs to take all active wb's into account. If any wb on the bdi has dirty inodes, bdi_has_dirty_io() should return true. To achieve that, as inode_wb_list_{move|del}_locked() now keep track of the dirty state transition of each wb, the number of dirty wbs can be counted in the bdi; however, bdi is already aggregating wb->avg_write_bandwidth which can easily be guaranteed to be > 0 when there are any dirty inodes by ensuring wb->avg_write_bandwidth can't dip below 1. bdi_has_dirty_io() can simply test whether bdi->tot_write_bandwidth is zero or not. While this bumps the value of wb->avg_write_bandwidth to one when it used to be zero, this shouldn't cause any meaningful behavior difference. bdi_has_dirty_io() is made an inline function which tests whether ->tot_write_bandwidth is non-zero. Also, WARN_ON_ONCE()'s on its value are added to inode_wb_list_{move|del}_locked(). Signed-off-by: -

cgroup writeback support needs to keep track of the sum of avg_write_bandwidth of all wb's (bdi_writeback's) with dirty inodes to distribute write workload. This patch adds bdi->tot_write_bandwidth and updates inode_wb_list_move_locked(), inode_wb_list_del_locked() and wb_update_write_bandwidth() to adjust it as wb's gain and lose dirty inodes and its avg_write_bandwidth gets updated. As the update events are not synchronized with each other, bdi->tot_write_bandwidth is an atomic_long_t. Signed-off-by:

Currently, wb_has_dirty_io() determines whether a wb (bdi_writeback) has any dirty inode by testing all three IO lists on each invocation without actively keeping track. For cgroup writeback support, a single bdi will host multiple wb's each of which will host dirty inodes separately and we'll need to make bdi_has_dirty_io(), which currently only represents the root wb, aggregate has_dirty_io from all member wb's, which requires tracking transitions in has_dirty_io state on each wb. This patch introduces inode_wb_list_{move|del}_locked() to consolidate IO list operations leaving queue_io() the only other function which directly manipulates IO lists (via move_expired_inodes()). All three functions are updated to call wb_io_lists_[de]populated() which keep track of whether the wb has dirty inodes or not and record it using the new WB_has_dirty_io flag. inode_wb_list_moved_locked()'s return value indicates whether the wb had no dirty inodes before. mark_inode_dirty() is restructured so that the return value of inode_wb_list_move_locked() can be used for deciding whether to wake up the wb. While at it, change {bdi|wb}_has_dirty_io()'s return values to bool. These functions were returning 0 and 1 before. Also, add a comment explaining the synchronization of wb_state flags. v2: Updated to accommodate b_dirty_time. Signed-off-by: -

In several places, bdi_congested() and its wrappers are used to determine whether more IOs should be issued. With cgroup writeback support, this question can't be answered solely based on the bdi (backing_dev_info). It's dependent on whether the filesystem and bdi support cgroup writeback and the blkcg the inode is associated with. This patch implements inode_congested() and its wrappers which take @inode and determines the congestion state considering cgroup writeback. The new functions replace bdi_*congested() calls in places where the query is about specific inode and task. There are several filesystem users which also fit this criteria but they should be updated when each filesystem implements cgroup writeback support. v2: Now that a given inode is associated with only one wb, congestion state can be determined independent from the asking task. Drop @task. Spotted by Vivek. Also, converted to take @inode instead of @mapping and renamed to inode_congested(). Signed-off-by: -

Now that bdi layer can handle per-blkcg bdi_writeback_congested state, blk_{set|clear}_congested() can propagate non-root blkcg congestion state to them. This can be easily achieved by disabling the root_rl tests in blk_{set|clear}_congested(). Note that we still need those tests when !CONFIG_CGROUP_WRITEBACK as otherwise we'll end up flipping root blkcg wb's congestion state for events happening on other blkcgs. v2: Updated for bdi_writeback_congested.

blk_{set|clear}_queue_congested() take @q and set or clear, respectively, the congestion state of its bdi's root wb. Because bdi used to be able to handle congestion state only on the root wb, the callers of those functions tested whether the congestion is on the root blkcg and skipped if not. This is cumbersome and makes implementation of per cgroup bdi_writeback congestion state propagation difficult. This patch renames blk_{set|clear}_queue_congested() to blk_{set|clear}_congested(), and makes them take request_list instead of request_queue and test whether the specified request_list is the root one before updating bdi_writeback congestion state. This makes the tests in the callers unnecessary and simplifies them. As there are no external users of these functions, the definitions are moved from include/linux/blkdev.h to block/blk-core.c. This patch doesn't introduce any noticeable behavior difference. Signed-off-by: -

Currently, all congestion functions take bdi (backing_dev_info) and always operate on the root wb (bdi->wb) and the congestion state from the block layer is propagated only for the root blkcg. This patch introduces {set|clear}_wb_congested() and wb_congested() which take a bdi_writeback_congested and bdi_writeback respectively. The bdi counteparts are now wrappers invoking the wb based functions on @bdi->wb. While converting clear_bdi_congested() to clear_wb_congested(), the local variable declaration order between @wqh and @bit is swapped for cosmetic reason. This patch just adds the new wb based functions. The following patches will apply them. v2: Updated for bdi_writeback_congested.

Currently, balance_dirty_pages() always work on bdi->wb. This patch updates it to work on the wb (bdi_writeback) matching memcg and blkcg of the current task as that's what the inode is being dirtied against. balance_dirty_pages_ratelimited() now pins the current wb and passes it to balance_dirty_pages(). As no filesystem has FS_CGROUP_WRITEBACK yet, this doesn't lead to visible behavior differences. v2: Updated for per-inode wb association. Signed-off-by:

A blkg (blkcg_gq) can be congested and decongested independently from other blkgs on the same request_queue. Accordingly, for cgroup writeback support, the congestion status at bdi (backing_dev_info) should be split and updated separately from matching blkg's. This patch prepares by adding blkg->wb_congested and associating a blkg with its matching per-blkcg bdi_writeback_congested on creation. v2: Updated to associate bdi_writeback_congested instead of bdi_writeback.

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. Signed-off-by: -

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.

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. Signed-off-by:

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. Signed-off-by:

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. Signed-off-by:

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) bdi_queue_work(bdi, ...) -> wb_queue_work(wb, ...) __bdi_start_writeback(bdi, ...) -> __wb_start_writeback(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.

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. v3: s/mem_cgroup_migrate()/mem_cgroup_css_from_page()/ v2: Trigger WARN if the function is used on the traditional hierarchies and add comment about the assumed invariant.

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. Signed-off-by:

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(). text data bss dec hex filename 8925147 1774832 1785856 12485835 be84cb vmlinux-!CONFIG_MEMCG-before 8925339 1774832 1785856 12486027 be858b vmlinux-!CONFIG_MEMCG-after +192 text bytes 8965977 1784992 1785856 12536825 bf4bf9 vmlinux-CONFIG_MEMCG-before 8966750 1784992 1785856 12537598 bf4efe vmlinux-CONFIG_MEMCG-after +773 text bytes Performance tests run on v4.0-rc1-36-g4f671fe2.

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. Signed-off-by:

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. Signed-off-by:
