Currently, io_ticks is accounted based on sampling, specifically
update_io_ticks() will always account io_ticks by 1 jiffies from
bdev_start_io_acct()/blk_account_io_start(), and the result can be
inaccurate, for example(HZ is 250):
Test script:
fio -filename=/dev/sda -bs=4k -rw=write -direct=1 -name=test -thinktime=4ms
Test result: util is about 90%, while the disk is really idle.
This behaviour is introduced by commit 5b18b5a737 ("block: delete
part_round_stats and switch to less precise counting"), however, there
was a key point that is missed that this patch also improve performance
a lot:
Before the commit:
part_round_stats:
if (part->stamp != now)
stats |= 1;
part_in_flight()
-> there can be lots of task here in 1 jiffies.
part_round_stats_single()
__part_stat_add()
part->stamp = now;
After the commit:
update_io_ticks:
stamp = part->bd_stamp;
if (time_after(now, stamp))
if (try_cmpxchg())
__part_stat_add()
-> only one task can reach here in 1 jiffies.
Hence in order to account io_ticks precisely, we only need to know if
there are IO inflight at most once in one jiffies. Noted that for
rq-based device, iterating tags should not be used here because
'tags->lock' is grabbed in blk_mq_find_and_get_req(), hence
part_stat_lock_inc/dec() and part_in_flight() is used to trace inflight.
The additional overhead is quite little:
- per cpu add/dec for each IO for rq-based device;
- per cpu sum for each jiffies;
And it's verified by null-blk that there are no performance degration
under heavy IO pressure.

Discards can access a significant capacity and take longer than the user
expected. A user may change their mind about wanting to run that command
and attempt to kill the process and do something else with their device.
But since the task is uninterruptable, they have to wait for it to
finish, which could be many hours.
Open code blkdev_issue_discard in the BLKDISCARD ioctl handler and check
for a fatal signal at each iteration so the user doesn't have to wait
for their regretted operation to complete naturally.

Most bio operations get basic sanity checking in submit_bio and anything
more complicated than that is done in the callers. Discards are a bit
different from that in that a lot of checking is done in
__blkdev_issue_discard, and the specific errnos for that are returned
to userspace. Move the checks that require specific errnos to the ioctl
handler instead, and just leave the basic sanity checking in submit_bio
for the other handlers. This introduces two changes in behavior:
1) the logical block size alignment check of the start and len is lost
for non-ioctl callers.
This matches what is done for other operations including reads and
writes. We should probably verify this for all bios, but for now
make discards match the normal flow.
2) for non-ioctl callers all errors are reported on I/O completion now
instead of synchronously. Callers in general mostly ignore or log
errors so this will actually simplify the code once cleaned up

Fix the cmdline parsing of the "blkdevparts=" parameter using strsep(),
which makes the code simpler.
Before commit 146afeb235 ("block: use strscpy() to instead of
strncpy()"), we used a strncpy() to copy a block device name and partition
names. The commit simply replaced a strncpy() and NULL termination with
a strscpy(). It did not update calculations of length passed to strscpy().
While the length passed to strncpy() is just a length of valid characters
without NULL termination ('\0'), strscpy() takes it as a length of the
destination buffer, including a NULL termination.
Since the source buffer is not necessarily NULL terminated, the current
code copies "length - 1" characters and puts a NULL character in the
destination buffer. It replaces the last character with NULL and breaks
the parsing.
As an example, that buffer will be passed to parse_parts() and breaks
parsing sub-partitions due to the missing ')' at the end, like the
following.
example (Check Point V-80 & OpenWrt):

By the way, strscpy() takes a length of destination buffer and it is
often confusing when copying characters with a specified length. Using
strsep() helps to separate the string by the specified character. Then,
we can use strscpy() naturally with the size of the destination buffer.
Separating the string on the fly is also useful to omit the redundant
string copy, reducing memory usage and improve the code readability.

Large write BIOs that span a zone boundary are split in
blk_mq_submit_bio() before being passed to blk_zone_plug_bio() for zone
write plugging. Such split BIO will be chained with one fragment
targeting one zone and the remainder of the BIO targeting the next
zone. The two BIOs can be executed in parallel, without a predetermine
order relative to eachother and their completion may be reversed: the
remainder first completing and the first fragment then completing. In
such case, bio_endio() will not immediately execute
blk_zone_write_plug_bio_endio() for the parent BIO (the remainder of the
split BIO) as the BIOs are chained. blk_zone_write_plug_bio_endio() for
the parent BIO will be executed only once the first fragment completes.
In the case of a device with small zones and very large BIOs, uch
completion pattern can lead to disk_should_remove_zone_wplug() to return
true for the zone of the parent BIO when the parent BIO request
completes and blk_zone_write_plug_complete_request() is executed. This
triggers the removal of the zone write plug from the hash table using
disk_remove_zone_wplug(). With the zone write plug of the parent BIO
missing, the call to disk_get_zone_wplug() in
blk_zone_write_plug_bio_endio() returns NULL and triggers a warning.
This patterns can be recreated fairly easily using a scsi_debug device
with small zone and btrfs. E.g.
modprobe scsi_debug delay=0 dev_size_mb=1024 sector_size=4096 \
zbc=host-managed zone_cap_mb=3 zone_nr_conv=0 zone_size_mb=4

submission work is queued or running. Do this by holding a reference on

When zone is reset or finished, disk_zone_wplug_set_wp_offset() is
called to update the zone write plug write pointer offset and to clear
the zone error state (BLK_ZONE_WPLUG_ERROR flag) if it is set.
However, this processing is missing dropping the reference to the zone
write plug that was taken in disk_zone_wplug_set_error() when the error
flag was first set. Furthermore, the error state handling must release
the zone write plug lock to first execute a report zones command. When
the report zone races with a reset or finish operation that clears the
error, we can end up decrementing the zone write plug reference count
twice: once in disk_zone_wplug_set_wp_offset() for the reset/finish
operation and one more time in disk_zone_wplugs_work() once
disk_zone_wplug_handle_error() completes.
Fix this by introducing disk_zone_wplug_clear_error() as the symmetric
function of disk_zone_wplug_set_error(). disk_zone_wplug_clear_error()
decrements the zone write plug reference count obtained in
disk_zone_wplug_set_error() only if the error handling has not started
yet, that is, only if disk_zone_wplugs_work() has not yet taken the zone
write plug off the error list. This ensure that either
disk_zone_wplug_clear_error() or disk_zone_wplugs_work() drop the zone
write plug reference count.

When revalidating the zones of a zoned block device,
blk_revalidate_zone_cb() must allocate a zone write plug for any
sequential write required zone that is not empty nor full. However, the
current code tests the latter case by comparing the zone write pointer
offset to the zone size instead of the zone capacity. Furthermore,
disk_get_and_lock_zone_wplug() is called with a sector argument equal to

This commit fixes both issues by calling disk_get_and_lock_zone_wplug()
for a zone that is not empty and with a write pointer offset lower than
the zone capacity and use the zone capacity sector as the sector
argument for disk_get_and_lock_zone_wplug().

For a device that has no limits for the maximum number of open and
active zones, we default to using the number of zones, limited to
BLK_ZONE_WPLUG_DEFAULT_POOL_SIZE (128), for the maximum number of open
zones indicated to the user. However, for a device that has conventional
zones and less zones than BLK_ZONE_WPLUG_DEFAULT_POOL_SIZE, we should
not account conventional zones and set the limit to the number of
sequential write required zones. Furthermore, for cases where the limit
is equal to the number of sequential write required zones, we can
advertize a limit of 0 to indicate "no limits".
Fix this by moving the zone write plug mempool resizing from
disk_revalidate_zone_resources() to disk_update_zone_resources() where
we can safely compute the number of conventional zones and update the
limits.

A zone write plug BIO work function blk_zone_wplug_bio_work() calls
submit_bio_noacct_nocheck() to execute the next unplugged BIO. This
function may block. So executing zone plugs BIO works using the block
layer global kblockd workqueue can potentially lead to preformance or
latency issues as the number of concurrent work for a workqueue is
limited to WQ_DFL_ACTIVE (256).
1) For a system with a large number of zoned disks, issuing write
requests to otherwise unused zones may be delayed wiating for a work
thread to become available.
2) Requeue operations which use kblockd but are independent of zone
write plugging may alsoi end up being delayed.
To avoid these potential performance issues, create a workqueue per
zoned device to execute zone plugs BIO work. The workqueue max active
parameter is set to the maximum number of zone write plugs allocated
with the zone write plug mempool. This limit is equal to the maximum
number of open zones of the disk and defaults to 128 for disks that do
not have a limit on the number of open zones.

With the block layer zone write plugging being automatically done for
any write operation to a zone of a zoned block device, a regular request
plugging handled through current->plug can only ever see at most a
single write request per zone. In such case, any potential reordering
of the plugged requests will be harmless. We can thus remove the special
casing for write operations to zones and have these requests plugged as
well. This allows removing the function blk_mq_plug and instead directly

2) For null_blk, the driver will fail the request anyway, thus notifying

3) For all other zoned devices, zone append is now emulated using zone
write plugging, which checks that a zone append operation does not
target a conventional zone.

Given that zone write plugging manages all writes to zones of a zoned
block device and tracks the write pointer position of all zones that are
not full nor empty, emulating zone append operations using regular
writes can be implemented generically, without relying on the underlying
device driver to implement such emulation. This is needed for devices
that do not natively support the zone append command (e.g. SMR
hard-disks).
A device may request zone append emulation by setting its
max_zone_append_sectors queue limit to 0. For such device, the function
blk_zone_wplug_prepare_bio() changes zone append BIOs into
non-mergeable regular write BIOs. Modified zone append BIOs are flagged
with the new BIO flag BIO_EMULATES_ZONE_APPEND. This flag is checked
on completion of the BIO in blk_zone_write_plug_bio_endio() to restore
the original REQ_OP_ZONE_APPEND operation code of the BIO.
The block layer internal inline helper function bio_is_zone_append() is
added to test if a BIO is either a native zone append operation
(REQ_OP_ZONE_APPEND operation code) or if it is flagged with
BIO_EMULATES_ZONE_APPEND. Given that both native and emulated zone
append BIO completion handling should be similar, The functions
blk_update_request() and blk_zone_complete_request_bio() are modified to
use bio_is_zone_append() to execute blk_zone_update_request_bio() for
both native and emulated zone append operations.

In preparation for adding a generic zone append emulation using zone
write plugging, allow device drivers supporting zoned block device to
set a the max_zone_append_sectors queue limit of a device to 0 to
indicate the lack of native support for zone append operations and that
the block layer should emulate these operations using regular write
operations.
blk_queue_max_zone_append_sectors() is modified to allow passing 0 as
the max_zone_append_sectors argument. The function
queue_max_zone_append_sectors() is also modified to ensure that the
minimum of the max_hw_sectors and chunk_sectors limit is used whenever
the max_zone_append_sectors limit is 0. This minimum is consistent with
the value set for the max_zone_append_sectors limit by the function
blk_validate_zoned_limits() when limits for a queue are validated.
The helper functions queue_emulates_zone_append() and
bdev_emulates_zone_append() are added to test if a queue (or block
device) emulates zone append operations.
In order for blk_revalidate_disk_zones() to accept zoned block devices
relying on zone append emulation, the direct check to the
max_zone_append_sectors queue limit of the disk is replaced by a check
using the value returned by queue_max_zone_append_sectors(). Similarly,
queue_zone_append_max_show() is modified to use the same accessor so
that the sysfs attribute advertizes the non-zero limit that will be
used, regardless if it is for native or emulated commands.
For stacking drivers, a top device should not need to care if the
underlying devices have native or emulated zone append operations.
blk_stack_limits() is thus modified to set the top device
max_zone_append_sectors limit using the new accessor
queue_limits_max_zone_append_sectors(). queue_max_zone_append_sectors()
is modified to use this function as well. Stacking drivers that require
zone append emulation, e.g. dm-crypt, can still request this feature by
calling blk_queue_max_zone_append_sectors() with a 0 limit.

Zone write plugging implements a per-zone "plug" for write operations
to control the submission and execution order of write operations to
sequential write required zones of a zoned block device. Per-zone
plugging guarantees that at any time there is at most only one write
request per zone being executed. This mechanism is intended to replace
zone write locking which implements a similar per-zone write throttling
at the scheduler level, but is implemented only by mq-deadline.
Unlike zone write locking which operates on requests, zone write
plugging operates on BIOs. A zone write plug is simply a BIO list that
is atomically manipulated using a spinlock and a kblockd submission
work. A write BIO to a zone is "plugged" to delay its execution if a
write BIO for the same zone was already issued, that is, if a write
request for the same zone is being executed. The next plugged BIO is
unplugged and issued once the write request completes.
This mechanism allows to:
- Untangle zone write ordering from block IO schedulers. This allows
removing the restriction on using mq-deadline for writing to zoned
block devices. Any block IO scheduler, including "none" can be used.
- Zone write plugging operates on BIOs instead of requests. Plugged
BIOs waiting for execution thus do not hold scheduling tags and thus
are not preventing other BIOs from executing (reads or writes to
other zones). Depending on the workload, this can significantly
improve the device use (higher queue depth operation) and
performance.
- Both blk-mq (request based) zoned devices and BIO-based zoned devices
(e.g. device mapper) can use zone write plugging. It is mandatory
for the former but optional for the latter. BIO-based drivers can
use zone write plugging to implement write ordering guarantees, or
the drivers can implement their own if needed.
- The code is less invasive in the block layer and is mostly limited to
blk-zoned.c with some small changes in blk-mq.c, blk-merge.c and
bio.c.
Zone write plugging is implemented using struct blk_zone_wplug. This
structure includes a spinlock, a BIO list and a work structure to
handle the submission of plugged BIOs. Zone write plugs structures are
managed using a per-disk hash table.
Plugging of zone write BIOs is done using the function
blk_zone_write_plug_bio() which returns false if a BIO execution does
not need to be delayed and true otherwise. This function is called
from blk_mq_submit_bio() after a BIO is split to avoid large BIOs
spanning multiple zones which would cause mishandling of zone write
plugs. This ichange enables by default zone write plugging for any mq
request-based block device. BIO-based device drivers can also use zone
write plugging by expliclty calling blk_zone_write_plug_bio() in their
->submit_bio method. For such devices, the driver must ensure that a
BIO passed to blk_zone_write_plug_bio() is already split and not
straddling zone boundaries.
Only write and write zeroes BIOs are plugged. Zone write plugging does
not introduce any significant overhead for other operations. A BIO that
is being handled through zone write plugging is flagged using the new
BIO flag BIO_ZONE_WRITE_PLUGGING. A request handling a BIO flagged with
this new flag is flagged with the new RQF_ZONE_WRITE_PLUGGING flag.
The completion of BIOs and requests flagged trigger respectively calls
to the functions blk_zone_write_bio_endio() and
blk_zone_write_complete_request(). The latter function is used to
trigger submission of the next plugged BIO using the zone plug work.
blk_zone_write_bio_endio() does the same for BIO-based devices.
This ensures that at any time, at most one request (blk-mq devices) or
one BIO (BIO-based devices) is being executed for any zone. The
handling of zone write plugs using a per-zone plug spinlock maximizes
parallelism and device usage by allowing multiple zones to be writen
simultaneously without lock contention.
Zone write plugging ignores flush BIOs without data. Hovever, any flush
BIO that has data is always plugged so that the write part of the flush
sequence is serialized with other regular writes.
Given that any BIO handled through zone write plugging will be the only
BIO in flight for the target zone when it is executed, the unplugging
and submission of a BIO will have no chance of successfully merging with
plugged requests or requests in the scheduler. To overcome this
potential performance degradation, blk_mq_submit_bio() calls the
function blk_zone_write_plug_attempt_merge() to try to merge other
plugged BIOs with the one just unplugged and submitted. Successful
merging is signaled using blk_zone_write_plug_bio_merged(), called from
bio_attempt_back_merge(). Furthermore, to avoid recalculating the number
of segments of plugged BIOs to attempt merging, the number of segments
of a plugged BIO is saved using the new struct bio field
__bi_nr_segments. To avoid growing the size of struct bio, this field is
added as a union with the bio_cookie field. This is safe to do as
polling is always disabled for plugged BIOs.
When BIOs are plugged in a zone write plug, the device request queue
usage counter is always incremented. This reference is kept and reused
for blk-mq devices when the plugged BIO is unplugged and submitted
again using submit_bio_noacct_nocheck(). For this case, the unplugged
BIO is already flagged with BIO_ZONE_WRITE_PLUGGING and
blk_mq_submit_bio() proceeds directly to allocating a new request for
the BIO, re-using the usage reference count taken when the BIO was
plugged. This extra reference count is dropped in
blk_zone_write_plug_attempt_merge() for any plugged BIO that is
successfully merged. Given that BIO-based devices will not take this
path, the extra reference is dropped after a plugged BIO is unplugged
and submitted.
Zone write plugs are dynamically allocated and managed using a hash
table (an array of struct hlist_head) with RCU protection.
A zone write plug is allocated when a write BIO is received for the
zone and not freed until the zone is fully written, reset or finished.
To detect when a zone write plug can be freed, the write state of each
zone is tracked using a write pointer offset which corresponds to the
offset of a zone write pointer relative to the zone start. Write
operations always increment this write pointer offset. Zone reset
operations set it to 0 and zone finish operations set it to the zone
size.
If a write error happens, the wp_offset value of a zone write plug may
become incorrect and out of sync with the device managed write pointer.
This is handled using the zone write plug flag BLK_ZONE_WPLUG_ERROR.
The function blk_zone_wplug_handle_error() is called from the new disk
zone write plug work when this flag is set. This function executes a
report zone to update the zone write pointer offset to the current
value as indicated by the device. The disk zone write plug work is
scheduled whenever a BIO flagged with BIO_ZONE_WRITE_PLUGGING completes
with an error or when bio_zone_wplug_prepare_bio() detects an unaligned
write. Once scheduled, the disk zone write plugs work keeps running
until all zone errors are handled.
To match the new data structures used for zoned disks, the function
disk_free_zone_bitmaps() is renamed to the more generic
disk_free_zone_resources(). The function disk_init_zone_resources() is
also introduced to initialize zone write plugs resources when a gendisk
is allocated.
In order to guarantee that the user can simultaneously write up to a
number of zones equal to a device max active zone limit or max open zone
limit, zone write plugs are allocated using a mempool sized to the
maximum of these 2 device limits. For a device that does not have
active and open zone limits, 128 is used as the default mempool size.
If a change to the device active and open zone limits is detected, the
disk mempool is resized when blk_revalidate_disk_zones() is executed.

In preparation for adding zone write plugging, modify
blk_revalidate_disk_zones() to get the capacity of zones of a zoned
block device. This capacity value as a number of 512B sectors is stored
in the gendisk zone_capacity field.
Given that host-managed SMR disks (including zoned UFS drives) and all
known NVMe ZNS devices have the same zone capacity for all zones
blk_revalidate_disk_zones() returns an error if different capacities are
detected for different zones.
This also adds check to verify that the values reported by the device
for zone capacities are correct, that is, that the zone capacity is
never 0, does not exceed the zone size and is equal to the zone size for
conventional zones.

Remove "static" from the definition of bio_attempt_back_merge() and
declare this function in block/blk.h to allow using it internally from
other block layer files. The definition of enum bio_merge_status is
also moved to block/blk.h.

On completion of a zone append request, the request sector indicates the
location of the written data. This value must be returned to the user
through the BIO iter sector. This is done in 2 places: in
blk_complete_request() and in blk_update_request(). Introduce the inline
helper function blk_zone_update_request_bio() to avoid duplicating
this BIO update for zone append requests, and to compile out this
helper call when CONFIG_BLK_DEV_ZONED is not enabled.

Moving req_bio_endio() code into its only caller, blk_update_request(),
allows reducing accesses to and tests of bio and request fields. Also,
given that partial completions of zone append operations is not
possible and that zone append operations cannot be merged, the update
of the BIO sector using the request sector for these operations can be
moved directly before the call to bio_endio().

On completion of a flush sequence, blk_flush_restore_request() restores
the bio of a request to the original submitted BIO. However, the last
use of the request in the flush sequence may have been for a POSTFLUSH
which does not have a sector. So make sure to restore the request sector
using the iter sector of the original BIO. This BIO has not changed yet
since the completions of the flush sequence intermediate steps use
requeueing of the request until all steps are completed.
Restoring the request sector ensures that blk_mq_end_request() will see
a valid sector as originally set when the flush BIO was submitted.

blkdev_dio_unaligned() is called from __blkdev_direct_IO(),
__blkdev_direct_IO_simple(), and __blkdev_direct_IO_async(), and all these
are only called from blkdev_direct_IO().
Move the blkdev_dio_unaligned() call to the common callsite,
blkdev_direct_IO().
Pass those functions the bdev pointer from blkdev_direct_IO(), as it is
non-trivial to look up.
