Instead, tie the debugfs registration to the lifetime of the structures themselves. The saner lifetimes mean we can also get rid of the extra mq directory and move everything one level up.

2017-03-28blk-throttle: make throtl_slice tunableShaohua Li
throtl_slice is important for blk-throttling. It's called slice internally but it really is a time window blk-throttling samples data. blk-throttling will make decision based on the samplings. An example is bandwidth measurement. A cgroup's bandwidth is measured in the time interval of throtl_slice. A small throtl_slice meanse cgroups have smoother throughput but burn more CPUs. It has 100ms default value, which is not appropriate for all disks. A fast SSD can dispatch a lot of IOs in 100ms. This patch makes it tunable. Since throtl_slice isn't a time slice, the sysfs name 'throttle_sample_time' reflects its character better. Signed-off-by: Shaohua Li <shli@fb.com> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@fb.com>
2017-03-21blk-stat: convert to callback-based statistics reportingOmar Sandoval
Currently, statistics are gathered in ~0.13s windows, and users grab the statistics whenever they need them. This is not ideal for both in-tree users: 1. Writeback throttling wants its own dynamically sized window of statistics. Since the blk-stats statistics are reset after every window and the wbt windows don't line up with the blk-stats windows, wbt doesn't see every I/O. 2. Polling currently grabs the statistics on every I/O. Again, depending on how the window lines up, we may miss some I/Os. It's also unnecessary overhead to get the statistics on every I/O; the hybrid polling heuristic would be just as happy with the statistics from the previous full window. This reworks the blk-stats infrastructure to be callback-based: users register a callback that they want called at a given time with all of the statistics from the window during which the callback was active. Users can dynamically bucketize the statistics. wbt and polling both currently use read vs. write, but polling can be extended to further subdivide based on request size. The callbacks are kept on an RCU list, and each callback has percpu stats buffers. There will only be a few users, so the overhead on the I/O completion side is low. The stats flushing is also simplified considerably: since the timer function is responsible for clearing the statistics, we don't have to worry about stale statistics. wbt is a trivial conversion. After the conversion, the windowing problem mentioned above is fixed. For polling, we register an extra callback that caches the previous window's statistics in the struct request_queue for the hybrid polling heuristic to use. Since we no longer have a single stats buffer for the request queue, this also removes the sysfs and debugfs stats entries. To replace those, we add a debugfs entry for the poll statistics.

In one scenario, blk_register_queue() calls elv_register_queue() and right before cfq_registered_queue() is called, another process executes elevator_switch() and replaces q->elevator with deadline scheduler.

2016-12-12mm: don't cap request size based on read-ahead settingJens Axboe
We ran into a funky issue, where someone doing 256K buffered reads saw 128K requests at the device level. Turns out it is read-ahead capping the request size, since we use 128K as the default setting. This doesn't make a lot of sense - if someone is issuing 256K reads, they should see 256K reads, regardless of the read-ahead setting, if the underlying device can support a 256K read in a single command. This patch introduces a bdi hint, io_pages. This is the soft max IO size for the lower level, I've hooked it up to the bdev settings here. Read-ahead is modified to issue the maximum of the user request size, and the read-ahead max size, but capped to the max request size on the device side. The latter is done to avoid reading ahead too much, if the application asks for a huge read. With this patch, the kernel behaves like the application expects.

This patch enables a hybrid polling mode. Instead of polling after IO submission, we can induce an artificial delay, and then poll after that. For example, if the IO is presumed to complete in 8 usecs from now, we can sleep for 4 usecs, wake up, and then do our polling. This still puts a sleep/wakeup cycle in the IO path, but instead of the wakeup happening after the IO has completed, it'll happen before. With this hybrid scheme, we can achieve big latency reductions while still using the same (or less) amount of CPU.

2016-11-10block: hook up writeback throttlingJens Axboe
Enable throttling of buffered writeback to make it a lot more smooth, and has way less impact on other system activity. Background writeback should be, by definition, background activity. The fact that we flush huge bundles of it at the time means that it potentially has heavy impacts on foreground workloads, which isn't ideal. We can't easily limit the sizes of writes that we do, since that would impact file system layout in the presence of delayed allocation. So just throttle back buffered writeback, unless someone is waiting for it. The algorithm for when to throttle takes its inspiration in the CoDel networking scheduling algorithm. Like CoDel, blk-wb monitors the minimum latencies of requests over a window of time. In that window of time, if the minimum latency of any request exceeds a given target, then a scale count is incremented and the queue depth is shrunk. The next monitoring window is shrunk accordingly. Unlike CoDel, if we hit a window that exhibits good behavior, then we simply increment the scale count and re-calculate the limits for that scale value. This prevents us from oscillating between a close-to-ideal value and max all the time, instead remaining in the windows where we get good behavior. Unlike CoDel, blk-wb allows the scale count to to negative. This happens if we primarily have writes going on. Unlike positive scale counts, this doesn't change the size of the monitoring window. When the heavy writers finish, blk-bw quickly snaps back to it's stable state of a zero scale count. The patch registers a sysfs entry, 'wb_lat_usec'. This sets the latency target to me met. It defaults to 2 msec for non-rotational storage, and 75 msec for rotational storage. Setting this value to '0' disables blk-wb. Generally, a user would not have to touch this setting. We don't enable WBT on devices that are managed with CFQ, and have a non-root block cgroup attached. If we have a proportional share setup on this particular disk, then the wbt throttling will interfere with that. We don't have a strong need for wbt for that case, since we will rely on CFQ doing that for us. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@fb.com>
2016-11-10block: add scalable completion tracking of requestsJens Axboe
For legacy block, we simply track them in the request queue. For blk-mq, we track them on a per-sw queue basis, which we can then sum up through the hardware queues and finally to a per device state. The stats are tracked in, roughly, 0.1s interval windows. Add sysfs files to display the stats. The feature is off by default, to avoid any extra overhead. In-kernel users of it can turn it on by setting QUEUE_FLAG_STATS in the queue flags. We currently don't turn it on if someone just reads any of the stats files, that is something we could add as well. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@fb.com>

The helper functions blk_queue_zoned_model and bdev_zoned_model return the zoned limit and the functions blk_queue_is_zoned and bdev_is_zoned return a boolean for callers to test if a block device is zoned. The zoned attribute is also exported as a string to applications via sysfs. BLK_ZONED_NONE shows as "none", BLK_ZONED_HA as "host-aware" and BLK_ZONED_HM as "host-managed".

Add an internal helper and flag for setting whether a queue has write back caching, or write through (or none). Add a sysfs file to show this as well, and make it changeable from user space.

2016-04-04mm, fs: get rid of PAGE_CACHE_* and page_cache_{get,release} macrosKirill A. Shutemov
PAGE_CACHE_{SIZE,SHIFT,MASK,ALIGN} macros were introduced *long* time ago with promise that one day it will be possible to implement page cache with bigger chunks than PAGE_SIZE. This promise never materialized. And unlikely will. We have many places where PAGE_CACHE_SIZE assumed to be equal to PAGE_SIZE. And it's constant source of confusion on whether PAGE_CACHE_* or PAGE_* constant should be used in a particular case, especially on the border between fs and mm. Global switching to PAGE_CACHE_SIZE != PAGE_SIZE would cause to much breakage to be doable. Let's stop pretending that pages in page cache are special. They are not. The changes are pretty straight-forward: - <foo> << (PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT - PAGE_SHIFT) -> <foo>; - <foo> >> (PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT - PAGE_SHIFT) -> <foo>; - PAGE_CACHE_{SIZE,SHIFT,MASK,ALIGN} -> PAGE_{SIZE,SHIFT,MASK,ALIGN}; - page_cache_get() -> get_page(); - page_cache_release() -> put_page(); This patch contains automated changes generated with coccinelle using script below. For some reason, coccinelle doesn't patch header files. I've called spatch for them manually. The only adjustment after coccinelle is revert of changes to PAGE_CAHCE_ALIGN definition: we are going to drop it later. There are few places in the code where coccinelle didn't reach. I'll fix them manually in a separate patch. Comments and documentation also will be addressed with the separate patch. virtual patch @@ expression E; @@ - E << (PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT - PAGE_SHIFT) + E @@ expression E; @@ - E >> (PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT - PAGE_SHIFT) + E @@ @@ - PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT + PAGE_SHIFT @@ @@ - PAGE_CACHE_SIZE + PAGE_SIZE @@ @@ - PAGE_CACHE_MASK + PAGE_MASK @@ expression E; @@ - PAGE_CACHE_ALIGN(E) + PAGE_ALIGN(E) @@ expression E; @@ - page_cache_get(E) + get_page(E) @@ expression E; @@ - page_cache_release(E) + put_page(E) Signed-off-by: Kirill A.

2015-11-25block/sd: Fix device-imposed transfer length limitsMartin K. Petersen
Commit 4f258a46346c ("sd: Fix maximum I/O size for BLOCK_PC requests") had the unfortunate side-effect of removing an implicit clamp to BLK_DEF_MAX_SECTORS for REQ_TYPE_FS requests in the block layer code. This caused problems for some SMR drives. Debugging this issue revealed a few problems with the existing infrastructure since the block layer didn't know how to deal with device-imposed limits, only limits set by the I/O controller. - Introduce a new queue limit, max_dev_sectors, which is used by the ULD to signal the maximum sectors for a REQ_TYPE_FS request. - Ensure that max_dev_sectors is correctly stacked and taken into account when overriding max_sectors through sysfs. - Rework sd_read_block_limits() so it saves the max_xfer and opt_xfer values for later processing. - In sd_revalidate() set the queue's max_dev_sectors based on the MAXIMUM TRANSFER LENGTH value in the Block Limits VPD. If this value is not reported, fall back to a cap based on the CDB TRANSFER LENGTH field size. - In sd_revalidate(), use OPTIMAL TRANSFER LENGTH from the Block Limits VPD--if reported and sane--to signal the preferred device transfer size for FS requests. Otherwise use BLK_DEF_MAX_SECTORS. - blk_limits_max_hw_sectors() is no longer used and can be removed. Signed-off-by: Martin K.

2015-11-07block: add block polling supportJens Axboe
Add basic support for polling for specific IO to complete. This uses the cookie that blk-mq passes back, which enables the block layer to pass this cookie to the driver to spin for a specific request. This will be combined with request latency tracking, so we can make qualified decisions about when to poll and when not to. For now, for benchmark purposes, we add a sysfs file that controls whether polling is enabled or not.

2015-10-21block: generic request_queue reference countingDan Williams
Allow pmem, and other synchronous/bio-based block drivers, to fallback on a per-cpu reference count managed by the core for tracking queue live/dead state. The existing per-cpu reference count for the blk_mq case is promoted to be used in all block i/o scenarios. This involves initializing it by default, waiting for it to drop to zero at exit, and holding a live reference over the invocation of q->make_request_fn() in generic_make_request(). The blk_mq code continues to take its own reference per blk_mq request and retains the ability to freeze the queue, but the check that the queue is frozen is moved to generic_make_request(). This fixes crash signatures like the following: BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request at ffff880140000000 [..] Call Trace: [<ffffffff8145e8bf>] ? copy_user_handle_tail+0x5f/0x70 [<ffffffffa004e1e0>] pmem_do_bvec.isra.11+0x70/0xf0 [nd_pmem] [<ffffffffa004e331>] pmem_make_request+0xd1/0x200 [nd_pmem] [<ffffffff811c3162>] ? mempool_alloc+0x72/0x1a0 [<ffffffff8141f8b6>] generic_make_request+0xd6/0x110 [<ffffffff8141f966>] submit_bio+0x76/0x170 [<ffffffff81286dff>] submit_bh_wbc+0x12f/0x160 [<ffffffff81286e62>] submit_bh+0x12/0x20 [<ffffffff813395bd>] jbd2_write_superblock+0x8d/0x170 [<ffffffff8133974d>] jbd2_mark_journal_empty+0x5d/0x90 [<ffffffff813399cb>] jbd2_journal_destroy+0x24b/0x270 [<ffffffff810bc4ca>] ? put_pwq_unlocked+0x2a/0x30 [<ffffffff810bc6f5>] ? destroy_workqueue+0x225/0x250 [<ffffffff81303494>] ext4_put_super+0x64/0x360 [<ffffffff8124ab1a>] generic_shutdown_super+0x6a/0xf0 Cc: Jens Axboe <axboe@kernel.dk> Cc: Keith Busch <keith.busch@intel.com> Cc: Ross Zwisler <ross.zwisler@linux.intel.com> Suggested-by: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de> Reviewed-by: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de> Tested-by: Ross Zwisler <ross.zwisler@linux.intel.com> Signed-off-by: Dan Williams <dan.j.williams@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@fb.com>
2015-10-15block: don't release bdi while request_queue has live referencesTejun Heo
bdi's are initialized in two steps, bdi_init() and bdi_register(), but destroyed in a single step by bdi_destroy() which, for a bdi embedded in a request_queue, is called during blk_cleanup_queue() which makes the queue invisible and starts the draining of remaining usages. A request_queue's user can access the congestion state of the embedded bdi as long as it holds a reference to the queue. As such, it may access the congested state of a queue which finished blk_cleanup_queue() but hasn't reached blk_release_queue() yet. Because the congested state was embedded in backing_dev_info which in turn is embedded in request_queue, accessing the congested state after bdi_destroy() was called was fine. The bdi was destroyed but the memory region for the congested state remained accessible till the queue got released. a13f35e87140 ("writeback: don't embed root bdi_writeback_congested in bdi_writeback") changed the situation. Now, the root congested state which is expected to be pinned while request_queue remains accessible is separately reference counted and the base ref is put during bdi_destroy(). This means that the root congested state may go away prematurely while the queue is between bdi_dstroy() and blk_cleanup_queue(), which was detected by Andrey's KASAN tests. The root cause of this problem is that bdi doesn't distinguish the two steps of destruction, unregistration and release, and now the root congested state actually requires a separate release step. To fix the issue, this patch separates out bdi_unregister() and bdi_exit() from bdi_destroy(). bdi_unregister() is called from blk_cleanup_queue() and bdi_exit() from blk_release_queue(). bdi_destroy() is now just a simple wrapper calling the two steps back-to-back. While at it, the prototype of bdi_destroy() is moved right below bdi_setup_and_register() so that the counterpart operations are located together.

2015-08-13block: make generic_make_request handle arbitrarily sized biosKent Overstreet
The way the block layer is currently written, it goes to great lengths to avoid having to split bios; upper layer code (such as bio_add_page()) checks what the underlying device can handle and tries to always create bios that don't need to be split. But this approach becomes unwieldy and eventually breaks down with stacked devices and devices with dynamic limits, and it adds a lot of complexity. If the block layer could split bios as needed, we could eliminate a lot of complexity elsewhere - particularly in stacked drivers. Code that creates bios can then create whatever size bios are convenient, and more importantly stacked drivers don't have to deal with both their own bio size limitations and the limitations of the (potentially multiple) devices underneath them. In the future this will let us delete merge_bvec_fn and a bunch of other code. We do this by adding calls to blk_queue_split() to the various make_request functions that need it - a few can already handle arbitrary size bios. Note that we add the call _after_ any call to blk_queue_bounce(); this means that blk_queue_split() and blk_recalc_rq_segments() don't need to be concerned with bouncing affecting segment merging. Some make_request_fn() callbacks were simple enough to audit and verify they don't need blk_queue_split() calls. The skipped ones are: * nfhd_make_request (arch/m68k/emu/nfblock.c) * axon_ram_make_request (arch/powerpc/sysdev/axonram.c) * simdisk_make_request (arch/xtensa/platforms/iss/simdisk.c) * brd_make_request (ramdisk - drivers/block/brd.c) * mtip_submit_request (drivers/block/mtip32xx/mtip32xx.c) * loop_make_request * null_queue_bio * bcache's make_request fns Some others are almost certainly safe to remove now, but will be left for future patches.

Lots of devices support huge discard sizes these days. Depending on how the device handles them internally, huge discards can introduce massive latencies (hundreds of msec) on the device side. We have a sysfs file, discard_max_bytes, that advertises the max hardware supported discard size. Make this writeable, and split the settings into a soft and hard limit. This can be set from 'discard_granularity' and up to the hardware limit. Add a new sysfs file, 'discard_max_hw_bytes', that shows the hw set limit.
