a5567932fc blkcg: change a spin_lock() to spin_lock_irq()
Smatch complains that we re-enable IRQs twice.  It looks like we forgot
to disable them here on the spin_trylock() failure path.  This was added
in 9f13ef678e "blkcg: use double locking instead of RCU for blkg
synchronization".

eb7d8c07f9 cfq: fix cfqg ref handling when BLK_CGROUP && !CFQ_GROUP_IOSCHED

Because cfq's blkcg support has a on/off switch, CFQ_GROUP_IOSCHED,
separate from BLK_CGROUP, blkg access through cfqg needs to be
conditioned on it.

* Make blkg_to_cfqg() and cfqg_to_blkg() conditioned on
  CFQ_GROUP_IOSCHED.  If disabled, they always return %NULL.

* Introduce cfqg_get() and cfqg_put() conditioned on

598971bfbd cfq: don't use icq_get_changed()
cfq caches the associated cfqq's for a given cic.  The cache needs to
be flushed if the cic's ioprio or blkcg has changed.  It is currently
done by requiring the changing action to set the respective
ICQ_*_CHANGED bit in the icq and testing it from cfq_set_request(),
which involves iterating through all the affected icqs.

All cfq wants to know is whether ioprio and/or blkcg have changed
since the last flush and can be easily achieved by just remembering
the current ioprio and blkcg ID in cic.

This patch adds cic->{ioprio|blkcg_id}, updates all ioprio users to
use the remembered value instead, and updates cfq_set_request() path
such that, instead of using icq_get_changed(), the current values are
compared against the remembered ones and trigger appropriate flush
action if not.  Condition tests are moved inside both _changed
functions which are now named check_ioprio_changed() and
check_blkcg_changed().

ioprio.h::task_ioprio*() can't be used anymore and replaced with
open-coded IOPRIO_CLASS_NONE case in cfq_async_queue_prio().

abede6da27 cfq: pass around cfq_io_cq instead of io_context
Now that io_cq is managed by block core and guaranteed to exist for
any in-flight request, it is easier and carries more information to
pass around cfq_io_cq than io_context.

This patch updates cfq_init_prio_data(), cfq_find_alloc_queue() and
cfq_get_queue() to take @cic instead of @ioc.  This change removes a
duplicate cfq_cic_lookup() from cfq_find_alloc_queue().

This change enables the use of cic-cached ioprio in the next patch.

edf1b879e3 blkcg: remove blkio_group->stats_lock
With recent plug merge updates, all non-percpu stat updates happen
under queue_lock making stats_lock unnecessary to synchronize stat
updates.  The only synchronization necessary is stat reading, which
can be done using u64_stats_sync instead.

This patch removes blkio_group->stats_lock and adds
blkio_group_stats->syncp for reader synchronization.

997a026c80 blkcg: simplify stat reset
blkiocg_reset_stats() implements stat reset for blkio.reset_stats
cgroupfs file.  This feature is very unconventional and something
which shouldn't have been merged.  It's only useful when there's only
one user or tool looking at the stats.  As soon as multiple users
and/or tools are involved, it becomes useless as resetting disrupts
other usages.  There are very good reasons why all other stats expect
readers to read values at the start and end of a period and subtract
to determine delta over the period.

The implementation is rather complex - some fields shouldn't be
cleared and it saves some fields, resets whole and restores for some
reason.  Reset of percpu stats is also racy.  The comment points to
64bit store atomicity for the reason but even without that stores for
zero can simply race with other CPUs doing RMW and get clobbered.

Simplify reset by

* Clear selectively instead of resetting and restoring.

* Grouping debug stat fields to be reset and using memset() over them.

* Not caring about stats_lock.

* Using memset() to reset percpu stats.

1cd9e039fc blkcg: alloc per cpu stats from worker thread in a delayed manner
Current per cpu stat allocation assumes GFP_KERNEL allocation flag. But in
IO path there are times when we want GFP_NOIO semantics. As there is no
way to pass the allocation flags to alloc_percpu(), this patch delays the
allocation of stats using a worker thread.

v2-> tejun suggested following changes. Changed the patch accordingly.
	- move alloc_node location in structure
	- reduce the size of names of some of the fields
	- Reduce the scope of locking of alloc_list_lock
	- Simplified stat_alloc_fn() by allocating stats for all
	  policies in one go and then assigning these to a group.

v3 -> Andrew suggested to put some comments in the code. Also raised
      concerns about trying to allocate infinitely in case of allocation
      failure. I have changed the logic to sleep for 10ms before retrying.
      That should take care of non-preemptible UP kernels.

v4 -> Tejun had more suggestions.
	- drop list_for_each_entry_all()
	- instead of msleep() use queue_delayed_work()
	- Some cleanups realted to more compact coding.

v5-> tejun suggested more cleanups leading to more compact code.

tj: - Relocated pcpu_stats into blkio_stat_alloc_fn().
    - Minor comment update.
    - This also fixes suspicious RCU usage warning caused by invoking
      cgroup_path() from blkg_alloc() without holding RCU read lock.
      Now that blkg_alloc() doesn't require sleepable context, RCU
      read lock from blkg_lookup_create() is maintained throughout
      blkg_alloc().

852c788f83 block: implement bio_associate_current()
IO scheduling and cgroup are tied to the issuing task via io_context
and cgroup of %current.  Unfortunately, there are cases where IOs need
to be routed via a different task which makes scheduling and cgroup
limit enforcement applied completely incorrectly.

For example, all bios delayed by blk-throttle end up being issued by a
delayed work item and get assigned the io_context of the worker task
which happens to serve the work item and dumped to the default block
cgroup.  This is double confusing as bios which aren't delayed end up
in the correct cgroup and makes using blk-throttle and cfq propio
together impossible.

Any code which punts IO issuing to another task is affected which is
getting more and more common (e.g. btrfs).  As both io_context and
cgroup are firmly tied to task including userland visible APIs to
manipulate them, it makes a lot of sense to match up tasks to bios.

This patch implements bio_associate_current() which associates the
specified bio with %current.  The bio will record the associated ioc
and blkcg at that point and block layer will use the recorded ones
regardless of which task actually ends up issuing the bio.  bio
release puts the associated ioc and blkcg.

It grabs and remembers ioc and blkcg instead of the task itself
because task may already be dead by the time the bio is issued making
ioc and blkcg inaccessible and those are all block layer cares about.

elevator_set_req_fn() is updated such that the bio elvdata is being
allocated for is available to the elevator.

This doesn't update block cgroup policies yet.  Further patches will
implement the support.

-v2: #ifdef CONFIG_BLK_CGROUP added around bio->bi_ioc dereference in
     rq_ioc() to fix build breakage.

blkg_lookup[_create]() for lookup w/o blkcg lock.  This patch drops
unncessary RCU locking replacing it with plain blkcg locking as
necessary.

* blkiocg_pre_destroy() already perform proper locking and don't need
  RCU.  Dropped.

* blkio_read_blkg_stats() now uses blkcg->lock instead of RCU read
  lock.  This isn't a hot path.

* Now unnecessary synchronize_rcu() from queue exit paths removed.
  This makes q->nr_blkgs unnecessary.  Dropped.

* RCU annotation on blkg->q removed.

-v2: Vivek pointed out that blkg_lookup_create() still needs to be
     called under rcu_read_lock().  Updated.

-v3: After the update, stats_lock locking in blkio_read_blkg_stats()
     shouldn't be using _irq variant as it otherwise ends up enabling
     irq while blkcg->lock is locked.  Fixed.

9f13ef678e blkcg: use double locking instead of RCU for blkg synchronization
blkgs are chained from both blkcgs and request_queues and thus
subjected to two locks - blkcg->lock and q->queue_lock.  As both blkcg
and q can go away anytime, locking during removal is tricky.  It's
currently solved by wrapping removal inside RCU, which makes the
synchronization complex.  There are three locks to worry about - the
outer RCU, q lock and blkcg lock, and it leads to nasty subtle
complications like conditional synchronize_rcu() on queue exit paths.

For all other paths, blkcg lock is naturally nested inside q lock and
the only exception is blkcg removal path, which is a very cold path
and can be implemented as clumsy but conceptually-simple reverse
double lock dancing.

This patch updates blkg removal path such that blkgs are removed while
holding both q and blkcg locks, which is trivial for request queue
exit path - blkg_destroy_all().  The blkcg removal path,
blkiocg_pre_destroy(), implements reverse double lock dancing
essentially identical to ioc_release_fn().

This simplifies blkg locking - no half-dead blkgs to worry about.  Now
unnecessary RCU annotations will be removed by the next patch.

e8989fae38 blkcg: unify blkg's for blkcg policies
Currently, blkg is per cgroup-queue-policy combination.  This is
unnatural and leads to various convolutions in partially used
duplicate fields in blkg, config / stat access, and general management
of blkgs.

This patch make blkg's per cgroup-queue and let them serve all
policies.  blkgs are now created and destroyed by blkcg core proper.
This will allow further consolidation of common management logic into
blkcg core and API with better defined semantics and layering.

As a transitional step to untangle blkg management, elvswitch and
policy [de]registration, all blkgs except the root blkg are being shot
down during elvswitch and bypass.  This patch adds blkg_root_update()
to update root blkg in place on policy change.  This is hacky and racy
but should be good enough as interim step until we get locking
simplified and switch over to proper in-place update for all blkgs.

-v2: Root blkgs need to be updated on elvswitch too and blkg_alloc()
     comment wasn't updated according to the function change.  Fixed.
     Both pointed out by Vivek.

-v3: v2 updated blkg_destroy_all() to invoke update_root_blkg_pd() for
     all policies.  This freed root pd during elvswitch before the
     last queue finished exiting and led to oops.  Directly invoke
     update_root_blkg_pd() only on BLKIO_POLICY_PROP from
     cfq_exit_queue().  This also is closer to what will be done with
     proper in-place blkg update.  Reported by Vivek.

03aa264ac1 blkcg: let blkcg core manage per-queue blkg list and counter
With the previous patch to move blkg list heads and counters to
request_queue and blkg, logic to manage them in both policies are
almost identical and can be moved to blkcg core.

This patch moves blkg link logic into blkg_lookup_create(), implements
common blkg unlink code in blkg_destroy(), and updates
blkg_destory_all() so that it's policy specific and can skip root
group.  The updated blkg_destroy_all() is now used to both clear queue
for bypassing and elv switching, and release all blkgs on q exit.

This patch introduces a race window where policy [de]registration may
race against queue blkg clearing.  This can only be a problem on cfq
unload and shouldn't be a real problem in practice (and we have many
other places where this race already exists).  Future patches will
remove these unlikely races.

Currently, specific policy implementations are responsible for
maintaining list and number of blkgs.  This duplicates code
unnecessarily, and hinders factoring common code and providing blkcg
API with better defined semantics.

After this patch, request_queue hosts list heads and counters and blkg

necessary fields and the next patch will actually move management code

Note that request_queue->blkg_list[] and ->nr_blkgs[] are hardcoded to
have 2 elements.  This is to avoid include dependency and will be
removed by the next patch.

This patch doesn't introduce any behavior change.

0381411e4b blkcg: let blkcg core handle policy private data allocation
Currently, blkg's are embedded in private data blkcg policy private
data structure and thus allocated and freed by policies.  This leads
to duplicate codes in policies, hinders implementing common part in
blkcg core with strong semantics, and forces duplicate blkg's for the
same cgroup-q association.

This patch introduces struct blkg_policy_data which is a separate data
structure chained from blkg.  Policies specifies the amount of private
data it needs in its blkio_policy_type->pdata_size and blkcg core
takes care of allocating them along with blkg which can be accessed
using blkg_to_pdata().  blkg can be determined from pdata using
pdata_to_blkg().  blkio_alloc_group_fn() method is accordingly updated
to blkio_init_group_fn().

For consistency, tg_of_blkg() and cfqg_of_blkg() are replaced with
blkg_to_tg() and blkg_to_cfqg() respectively, and functions to map in
the reverse direction are added.

Except that policy specific data now lives in a separate data
structure from blkg, this patch doesn't introduce any functional
difference.

This will be used to unify blkg's for different policies.

7a4dd281ec blkcg: kill the mind-bending blkg->dev
blkg->dev is dev_t recording the device number of the block device for
the associated request_queue.  It is used to identify the associated
block device when printing out configuration or stats.

This is redundant to begin with.  A blkg is an association between a
cgroup and a request_queue and it of course is possible to reach
request_queue from blkg and synchronization conventions are in place
for safe q dereferencing, so this shouldn't be necessary from the
beginning.  Furthermore, it's initialized by sscanf()ing the device
name of backing_dev_info.  The mind boggles.

Anyways, if blkg is visible under rcu lock, we *know* that the
associated request_queue hasn't gone away yet and its bdi is
registered and alive - blkg can't be created for request_queue which
hasn't been fully initialized and it can't go away before blkg is
removed.

Let stat and conf read functions get device name from
blkg->q->backing_dev_info.dev and pass it down to printing functions
and remove blkg->dev.

e56da7e287 blkcg: don't allow or retain configuration of missing devices
blkcg is very peculiar in that it allows setting and remembering
configurations for non-existent devices by maintaining separate data
structures for configuration.

This behavior is completely out of the usual norms and outright
confusing; furthermore, it uses dev_t number to match the
configuration to devices, which is unpredictable to begin with and
becomes completely unuseable if EXT_DEVT is fully used.

It is wholely unnecessary - we already have fully functional userland
mechanism to program devices being hotplugged which has full access to
device identification, connection topology and filesystem information.

Add a new struct blkio_group_conf which contains all blkcg
configurations to blkio_group and let blkio_group, which can be
created iff the associated device exists and is removed when the
associated device goes away, carry all configurations.

Note that, after this patch, all newly created blkg's will always have
the default configuration (unlimited for throttling and blkcg's weight
for propio).

This patch makes blkio_policy_node meaningless but doesn't remove it.
The next patch will.

cd1604fab4 blkcg: factor out blkio_group creation
Currently both blk-throttle and cfq-iosched implement their own
blkio_group creation code in throtl_get_tg() and cfq_get_cfqg().  This
patch factors out the common code into blkg_lookup_create(), which
returns ERR_PTR value so that transitional failures due to queue
bypass can be distinguished from other failures.

* New plkio_policy_ops methods blkio_alloc_group_fn() and
  blkio_link_group_fn added.  Both are transitional and will be
  removed once the blkg management code is fully moved into
  blk-cgroup.c.

* blkio_alloc_group_fn() allocates policy-specific blkg which is
  usually a larger data structure with blkg as the first entry and
  intiailizes it.  Note that initialization of blkg proper, including
  percpu stats, is responsibility of blk-cgroup proper.

  Note that default config (weight, bps...) initialization is done
  from this method; otherwise, we end up violating locking order
  between blkcg and q locks via blkcg_get_CONF() functions.

* blkio_link_group_fn() is called under queue_lock and responsible for
  linking the blkg to the queue.  blkcg side is handled by blk-cgroup
  proper.

* The common blkg creation function is named blkg_lookup_create() and
  blkiocg_lookup_group() is renamed to blkg_lookup() for consistency.
  Also, throtl / cfq related functions are similarly [re]named for
  consistency.

This simplifies blkcg policy implementations and enables further
cleanup.

-v2: Vivek noticed that blkg_lookup_create() incorrectly tested
     blk_queue_dead() instead of blk_queue_bypass() leading a user of
     the function ending up creating a new blkg on bypassing queue.
     This is a bug introduced while relocating bypass patches before
     this one.  Fixed.

     blkg_lookup_create() to allow creating root group on a bypassed

cfqd->root_group, adding unnecessarily different code paths to blkg

blk_throtl_init() callsite is pushed downwards in

72e06c2551 blkcg: shoot down blkio_groups on elevator switch
Elevator switch may involve changes to blkcg policies.  Implement
shoot down of blkio_groups.

Combined with the previous bypass updates, the end goal is updating
blkcg core such that it can ensure that blkcg's being affected become
quiescent and don't have any per-blkg data hanging around before
commencing any policy updates.  Until queues are made aware of the
policies that applies to them, as an interim step, all per-policy blkg
data will be shot down.

* blk-throtl doesn't need this change as it can't be disabled for a
  live queue; however, update it anyway as the scheduled blkg
  unification requires this behavior change.  This means that
  blk-throtl configuration will be unnecessarily lost over elevator
  switch.  This oddity will be removed after blkcg learns to associate
  individual policies with request_queues.

* blk-throtl dosen't shoot down root_tg.  This is to ease transition.
  Unified blkg will always have persistent root group and not shooting
  down root_tg for now eases transition to that point by avoiding
  having to update td->root_tg and is safe as blk-throtl can never be
  disabled

-v2: Vivek pointed out that group list is not guaranteed to be empty
     on return from clear function if it raced cgroup removal and
     lost.  Fix it by waiting a bit and retrying.  This kludge will
     soon be removed once locking is updated such that blkg is never
     in limbo state between blkcg and request_queue locks.

     blk-throtl no longer shoots down root_tg to avoid breaking
     td->root_tg.

     Also, Nest queue_lock inside blkio_list_lock not the other way
     around to avoid introduce possible deadlock via blkcg lock.

initializing the new elevator fails for some reason.  Unfortunately,
with more auxiliary contexts to manage, this makes elevator init and
exit paths too complex and fragile.

This patch makes elevator_switch() unregister the current elevator and
flush icq's before start initializing the new one.  As we still keep
the old elevator itself, the only difference is that we lose icq's on
rare occassions of switching failure, which isn't critical at all.

Note that this makes explicit elevator parameter to
elevator_init_queue() and __elv_register_queue() unnecessary as they
always can use the current elevator.

This patch enables block cgroup cleanups.

-v2: blk_add_trace_msg() prints elevator name from @new_e instead of
     @e->type as the local variable no longer exists.  This caused
     build failure on CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IO_TRACE.

32e380aedc blkcg: make CONFIG_BLK_CGROUP bool
Block cgroup core can be built as module; however, it isn't too useful
as blk-throttle can only be built-in and cfq-iosched is usually the
default built-in scheduler.  Scheduled blkcg cleanup requires calling
into blkcg from block core.  To simplify that, disallow building blkcg
as module by making CONFIG_BLK_CGROUP bool.

If building blkcg core as module really matters, which I doubt, we can
revisit it after blkcg API cleanup.

-v2: Vivek pointed out that IOSCHED_CFQ was incorrectly updated to
     depend on BLK_CGROUP.  Fixed.

62d3c5439c Block: use a freezable workqueue for disk-event polling
This patch (as1519) fixes a bug in the block layer's disk-events
polling.  The polling is done by a work routine queued on the
system_nrt_wq workqueue.  Since that workqueue isn't freezable, the
polling continues even in the middle of a system sleep transition.

Obviously, polling a suspended drive for media changes and such isn't
a good thing to do; in the case of USB mass-storage devices it can
lead to real problems requiring device resets and even re-enumeration.

The patch fixes things by creating a new system-wide, non-reentrant,
freezable workqueue and using it for disk-events polling.

Then we unblock events, when they are suppose to be blocked. This can

I'm able to reproduce crashes with the following scripts (with

Unfortunately after some time (dozen of minutes), script will hung in:

As drawback, I do not teardown on sysfs file create error, because I do
not know how to nullify disk->ev (since it can be used). However add_disk
error handling practically does not exist too, and things will work
without this sysfs file, except events will not be exported to user

fe316bf2d5 block: Fix NULL pointer dereference in sd_revalidate_disk
Since 2.6.39 (1196f8b), when a driver returns -ENOMEDIUM for open(),
__blkdev_get() calls rescan_partitions() to remove
in-kernel partition structures and raise KOBJ_CHANGE uevent.

However it ends up calling driver's revalidate_disk without open
and could cause oops.

In the case of SCSI:

  process A                  process B
  ----------------------------------------------
  sys_open
    __blkdev_get
      sd_open
        returns -ENOMEDIUM

                               <scsi_device torn down>
      rescan_partitions
        sd_revalidate_disk
          <oops>
Oopses are reported here:
http://marc.info/?l=linux-scsi&m=132388619710052

This patch separates the partition invalidation from rescan_partitions()
and use it for -ENOMEDIUM case.

97387e3baa LDM: Fix reassembly of extended VBLKs.
From: Ben Hutchings <ben@decadent.org.uk>

Extended VBLKs (those larger than the preset VBLK size) are divided
into fragments, each with its own VBLK header.  Our LDM implementation
generally assumes that each VBLK is contiguous in memory, so these
fragments must be assembled before further processing.

Currently the reassembly seems to be done quite wrongly - no VBLK
header is copied into the contiguous buffer, and the length of the
header is subtracted twice from each fragment.  Also the total
length of the reassembled VBLK is calculated incorrectly.

621032ad6e block: exit_io_context() should call elevator_exit_icq_fn()
While updating locking, b2efa05265 "block, cfq: unlink
cfq_io_context's immediately" moved elevator_exit_icq_fn() invocation
from exit_io_context() to the final ioc put.  While this doesn't cause
catastrophic failure, it effectively removes task exit notification to
elevator and cause noticeable IO performance degradation with CFQ.

On task exit, CFQ used to immediately expire the slice if it was being
used by the exiting task as no more IO would be issued by the task;
however, after b2efa05265, the notification is lost and disk could sit
idle needlessly, leading to noticeable IO performance degradation for
certain workloads.

This patch renames ioc_exit_icq() to ioc_destroy_icq(), separates
elevator_exit_icq_fn() invocation into ioc_exit_icq() and invokes it
from exit_io_context().  ICQ_EXITED flag is added to avoid invoking
the callback more than once for the same icq.

Walking icq_list from ioc side and invoking elevator callback requires
reverse double locking.  This may be better implemented using RCU;
unfortunately, using RCU isn't trivial.  e.g. RCU protection would
need to cover request_queue and queue_lock switch on cleanup makes
grabbing queue_lock from RCU unsafe.  Reverse double locking should
do, at least for now.

07c2bd3735 block: don't call elevator callbacks for plug merges
Plug merge calls two elevator callbacks outside queue lock -
elevator_allow_merge_fn() and elevator_bio_merged_fn().  Although
attempt_plug_merge() suggests that elevator is guaranteed to be there
through the existing request on the plug list, nothing prevents plug
merge from calling into dying or initializing elevator.

For regular merges, bypass ensures elvpriv count to reach zero, which
in turn prevents merges as all !ELVPRIV requests get REQ_SOFTBARRIER
from forced back insertion.  Plug merge doesn't check ELVPRIV, and, as
the requests haven't gone through elevator insertion yet, it doesn't
have SOFTBARRIER set allowing merges on a bypassed queue.

This, for example, leads to the following crash during elevator
switch.

There are multiple ways to fix this including making plug merge check
ELVPRIV; however,

* Calling into elevator outside queue lock is confusing and
  error-prone.

* Requests on plug list aren't known to the elevator.  They aren't on
  the elevator yet, so there's no elevator specific state to update.

* Given the nature of plug merges - collecting bio's for the same
  purpose from the same issuer - elevator specific restrictions aren't
  applicable.

So, simply don't call into elevator methods from plug merge by moving
elv_bio_merged() from bio_attempt_*_merge() to blk_queue_bio(), and
using blk_try_merge() in attempt_plug_merge().

This is based on Jens' patch to skip elevator_allow_merge_fn() from
plug merge.

Note that this makes per-cgroup merged stats skip plug merging.

050c8ea80e block: separate out blk_rq_merge_ok() and blk_try_merge() from elevator functions
blk_rq_merge_ok() is the elevator-neutral part of merge eligibility
test.  blk_try_merge() determines merge direction and expects the
caller to have tested elv_rq_merge_ok() previously.

elv_rq_merge_ok() now wraps blk_rq_merge_ok() and then calls
elv_iosched_allow_merge().  elv_try_merge() is removed and the two
callers are updated to call elv_rq_merge_ok() explicitly followed by
blk_try_merge().  While at it, make rq_merge_ok() functions return
bool.

This is to prepare for plug merge update and doesn't introduce any
behavior change.

This is based on Jens' patch to skip elevator_allow_merge_fn() from

11a3122f6c block: strip out locking optimization in put_io_context()
put_io_context() performed a complex trylock dancing to avoid
deferring ioc release to workqueue.  It was also broken on UP because
trylock was always assumed to succeed which resulted in unbalanced
preemption count.

While there are ways to fix the UP breakage, even the most
pathological microbench (forced ioc allocation and tight fork/exit
loop) fails to show any appreciable performance benefit of the
optimization.  Strip it out.  If there turns out to be workloads which
are affected by this change, simpler optimization from the discussion
thread can be applied later.

this_q == locked_q is possible. There are two problems here:
1. In UP case, there is preemption counter issue as spin_trylock always
successes.
2. In SMP case, the loop breaks too earlier.

761b3ef50e cgroup: remove cgroup_subsys argument from callbacks
The argument is not used at all, and it's not necessary, because
a specific callback handler of course knows which subsys it
belongs to.

Now only ->pupulate() takes this argument, because the handlers of
this callback always call cgroup_add_file()/cgroup_add_files().

So we reduce a few lines of code, though the shrinking of object size
is minimal.

The block layer has some code trying to determine if two CPUs share a
cache, the scheduler has a similar function. Expose the function used
by the scheduler and make the block layer use it, thereby removing the
block layers usage of CONFIG_SCHED* and topology bits.

Once a queue is quiesced, it's not supposed to have any elvpriv data or
icq's, and elevator switching depends on that.  Request alloc path
followed the rule for elvpriv data but forgot apply it to icq's
leading to the following crash during elevator switch. Fix it by not
allocating icq's if ELVPRIV is not set for the request.

With the changes in life time management between the cfq IO contexts
and the cfq queues, we now risk having cfqd->active_queue being
freed when cfq_slice_expired() is being called. cfq_preempt_queue()
caches this queue and uses it after calling said function, causing
a use-after-free condition. This triggers the following oops,
when cfqq_type() attempts to dereference it:

0bfc96cb77 block: fail SCSI passthrough ioctls on partition devices
Linux allows executing the SG_IO ioctl on a partition or LVM volume, and
will pass the command to the underlying block device.  This is
well-known, but it is also a large security problem when (via Unix
permissions, ACLs, SELinux or a combination thereof) a program or user
needs to be granted access only to part of the disk.

This patch lets partitions forward a small set of harmless ioctls;
others are logged with printk so that we can see which ioctls are
actually sent.  In my tests only CDROM_GET_CAPABILITY actually occurred.
Of course it was being sent to a (partition on a) hard disk, so it would
have failed with ENOTTY and the patch isn't changing anything in
practice.  Still, I'm treating it specially to avoid spamming the logs.

In principle, this restriction should include programs running with
CAP_SYS_RAWIO.  If for example I let a program access /dev/sda2 and
/dev/sdb, it still should not be able to read/write outside the
boundaries of /dev/sda2 independent of the capabilities.  However, for
now programs with CAP_SYS_RAWIO will still be allowed to send the
ioctls.  Their actions will still be logged.

This patch does not affect the non-libata IDE driver.  That driver
however already tests for bd != bd->bd_contains before issuing some
ioctl; it could be restricted further to forbid these ioctls even for
programs running with CAP_SYS_ADMIN/CAP_SYS_RAWIO.

b1bd055d39 block: Introduce blk_set_stacking_limits function
Stacking driver queue limits are typically bounded exclusively by the
capabilities of the low level devices, not by the stacking driver
itself.

This patch introduces blk_set_stacking_limits() which has more liberal
metrics than the default queue limits function. This allows us to
inherit topology parameters from bottom devices without manually
tweaking the default limits in each driver prior to calling the stacking
function.

Since there is now a clear distinction between stacking and low-level
devices, blk_set_default_limits() has been modified to carry the more
conservative values that we used to manually set in
blk_queue_make_request().

07d106d0a3 vfs: fix up ENOIOCTLCMD error handling
We're doing some odd things there, which already messes up various users
(see the net/socket.c code that this removes), and it was going to add
yet more crud to the block layer because of the incorrect error code
translation.

ENOIOCTLCMD is not an error return that should be returned to user mode
from the "ioctl()" system call, but it should *not* be translated as
EINVAL ("Invalid argument").  It should be translated as ENOTTY
("Inappropriate ioctl for device").

That EINVAL confusion has apparently so permeated some code that the
block layer actually checks for it, which is sad.  We continue to do so
for now, but add a big comment about how wrong that is, and we should
remove it entirely eventually.  In the meantime, this tries to keep the
changes localized to just the EINVAL -> ENOTTY fix, and removing code
that makes it harder to do the right thing.

f2b20d4365 block: fix blk_queue_end_tag()
Commit 5e081591 "block: warn if tag is greater than real_max_depth"
cleaned up blk_queue_end_tag() to warn when the tag is truly invalid
(greater than real_max_depth).  However, it changed behavior in the tag <
max_depth case to not end the request.  Leading to triggering of
BUG_ON(blk_queued_rq(rq)) in the request completion path:

  http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=132204370518629&w=2

In order to allow blk_queue_resize_tags() to shrink the tag space
blk_queue_end_tag() must always complete tags with a value less than
real_max_depth regardless of the current max_depth.  The comment about
"handling the shrink case" seems to be what prompted changes in this
space, so remove it and BUG on all invalid tags (made even simpler by
Matthew's suggestion to use an unsigned compare).

fd63836811 block: an exiting task should be allowed to create io_context
While fixing io_context creation / task exit race condition,
6e736be7f2 "block: make ioc get/put interface more conventional and
fix race on alloction" also prevented an exiting (%PF_EXITING) task
from creating its own io_context.  This is incorrect as exit path may
issue IOs, e.g. from exit_files(), and if those IOs are the first ones
issued by the task, io_context needs to be created to process the IOs.

Combined with the existing problem of io_context / io_cq creation
failure having the possibility of stalling IO, this problem results in
deterministic full IO lockup with certain workloads.

Fix it by allowing io_context creation regardless of %PF_EXITING for
%current.

f1f8cc9465 block, cfq: move icq creation and rq->elv.icq association to block core
Now block layer knows everything necessary to create and associate
icq's with requests.  Move ioc_create_icq() to blk-ioc.c and update
get_request() such that, if elevator_type->icq_size is set, requests
are automatically associated with their matching icq's before
elv_set_request().  io_context reference is also managed by block core
on request alloc/free.

* Only ioprio/cgroup changed handling remains from cfq_get_cic().
  Collapsed into cfq_set_request().

* This removes queue kicking on icq allocation failure (for now).  As
  icq allocation failure is rare and the only effect of queue kicking
  achieved was possibily accelerating queue processing, this change
  shouldn't be noticeable.

  There is a larger underlying problem.  Unlike request allocation,
  icq allocation is not guaranteed to succeed eventually after
  retries.  The number of icq is unbound and thus mempool can't be the
  solution either.  This effectively adds allocation dependency on
  memory free path and thus possibility of deadlock.

  This usually wouldn't happen because icq allocation is not a hot
  path and, even when the condition triggers, it's highly unlikely
  that none of the writeback workers already has icq.

  However, this is still possible especially if elevator is being
  switched under high memory pressure, so we better get it fixed.
  Probably the only solution is just bypassing elevator and appending
  to dispatch queue on any elevator allocation failure.

* Comment added to explain how icq's are managed and synchronized.

This completes cleanup of io_context interface.

7e5a879449 block, cfq: move io_cq exit/release to blk-ioc.c
With kmem_cache managed by blk-ioc, io_cq exit/release can be moved to
blk-ioc too.  The odd ->io_cq->exit/release() callbacks are replaced
with elevator_ops->elevator_exit_icq_fn() with unlinking from both ioc
and q, and freeing automatically handled by blk-ioc.  The elevator
operation only need to perform exit operation specific to the elevator
- in cfq's case, exiting the cfqq's.

Also, clearing of io_cq's on q detach is moved to block core and
automatically performed on elevator switch and q release.

Because the q io_cq points to might be freed before RCU callback for
the io_cq runs, blk-ioc code should remember to which cache the io_cq
needs to be freed when the io_cq is released.  New field
io_cq->__rcu_icq_cache is added for this purpose.  As both the new
field and rcu_head are used only after io_cq is released and the
q/ioc_node fields aren't, they are put into unions.

c586980732 block, cfq: reorganize cfq_io_context into generic and cfq specific parts
Currently io_context and cfq logics are mixed without clear boundary.
Most of io_context is independent from cfq but cfq_io_context handling
logic is dispersed between generic ioc code and cfq.

cfq_io_context represents association between an io_context and a
request_queue, which is a concept useful outside of cfq, but it also
contains fields which are useful only to cfq.

This patch takes out generic part and put it into io_cq (io
context-queue) and the rest into cfq_io_cq (cic moniker remains the
same) which contains io_cq.  The following changes are made together.

* cfq_ttime and cfq_io_cq now live in cfq-iosched.c.

* All related fields, functions and constants are renamed accordingly.

* ioc->ioc_data is now "struct io_cq *" instead of "void *" and
  renamed to icq_hint.

This prepares for io_context API cleanup.  Documentation is currently
sparse.  It will be added later.

warning if it hits allocation path.  This is because io_context
installation is protected by task_lock which is not IRQ safe, so it

Given the restriction, accessor + creator rolled into one doesn't work
too well.  Drop current_io_context() and let the users access

creation using create_io_context().

Future ioc updates will further consolidate ioc access and the create

b2efa05265 block, cfq: unlink cfq_io_context's immediately
cic is association between io_context and request_queue.  A cic is
linked from both ioc and q and should be destroyed when either one
goes away.  As ioc and q both have their own locks, locking becomes a
bit complex - both orders work for removal from one but not from the
other.

Currently, cfq tries to circumvent this locking order issue with RCU.
ioc->lock nests inside queue_lock but the radix tree and cic's are
also protected by RCU allowing either side to walk their lists without
grabbing lock.

This rather unconventional use of RCU quickly devolves into extremely
fragile convolution.  e.g. The following is from cfqd going away too
soon after ioc and q exits raced.

The only real hot path here is cic lookup during request
initialization and avoiding extra locking requires very confined use
of RCU.  This patch makes cic removal from both ioc and request_queue
perform double-locking and unlink immediately.

* From q side, the change is almost trivial as ioc->lock nests inside
  queue_lock.  It just needs to grab each ioc->lock as it walks
  cic_list and unlink it.

* From ioc side, it's a bit more difficult because of inversed lock
  order.  ioc needs its lock to walk its cic_list but can't grab the
  matching queue_lock and needs to perform unlock-relock dancing.

  Unlinking is now wholly done from put_io_context() and fast path is
  optimized by using the queue_lock the caller already holds, which is
  by far the most common case.  If the ioc accessed multiple devices,
  it tries with trylock.  In unlikely cases of fast path failure, it
  falls back to full double-locking dance from workqueue.

Double-locking isn't the prettiest thing in the world but it's *far*
simpler and more understandable than RCU trick without adding any
meaningful overhead.

This still leaves a lot of now unnecessary RCU logics.  Future patches
will trim them.

-v2: Vivek pointed out that cic->q was being dereferenced after
     cic->release() was called.  Updated to use local variable @this_q
     instead.

f1a4f4d35f block, cfq: fix cic lookup locking
* cfq_cic_lookup() may be called without queue_lock and multiple tasks
  can execute it simultaneously for the same shared ioc.  Nothing
  prevents them racing each other and trying to drop the same dead cic
  entry multiple times.

* smp_wmb() in cfq_exit_cic() doesn't really do anything and nothing
  prevents cfq_cic_lookup() seeing stale cic->key.  This usually
  doesn't blow up because by the time cic is exited, all requests have
  been drained and new requests are terminated before going through
  elevator.  However, it can still be triggered by plug merge path
  which doesn't grab queue_lock and thus can't check DEAD state
  reliably.

This patch updates lookup locking such that,

* Lookup is always performed under queue_lock.  This doesn't add any
  more locking.  The only issue is cfq_allow_merge() which can be
  called from plug merge path without holding any lock.  For now, this
  is worked around by using cic of the request to merge into, which is
  guaranteed to have the same ioc.  For longer term, I think it would
  be best to separate out plug merge method from regular one.

* Spurious ioc->lock locking around cic lookup hint assignment
  dropped.

cfq_get_io_context() would fail if multiple tasks race to insert cic's
for the same association.  This patch restructures
cfq_get_io_context() such that slow path insertion race is handled
properly.

Note that the restructuring also makes cfq_get_io_context() called
under queue_lock and performs both ioc and cfqd insertions while
holding both ioc and queue locks.  This is part of on-going locking
tightening and will be used to simplify synchronization rules.

dc86900e0a block, cfq: move ioc ioprio/cgroup changed handling to cic
ioprio/cgroup change was handled by marking the changed state in ioc
and, on the following access to the ioc, performing RCU-protected
iteration through all cic's grabbing the matching queue_lock.

This patch moves the changed state to each cic.  When ioprio or cgroup
changes, the respective bit is set on all cic's of the ioc and when
each of those cic (not ioc) is accessed, change is applied for that
specific ioc-queue pair.

This also fixes the following two race conditions between setting and
clearing of changed states.

* Missing barrier between assign/load of ioprio and ioprio_changed
  allowed applying old ioprio.

* Change requests could happen between application of change and
  clearing of changed variables.

6e736be7f2 block: make ioc get/put interface more conventional and fix race on alloction
Ignoring copy_io() during fork, io_context can be allocated from two
places - current_io_context() and set_task_ioprio().  The former is
always called from local task while the latter can be called from
different task.  The synchornization between them are peculiar and
dubious.

* current_io_context() doesn't grab task_lock() and assumes that if it
  saw %NULL ->io_context, it would stay that way until allocation and
  assignment is complete.  It has smp_wmb() between alloc/init and
  assignment.

* set_task_ioprio() grabs task_lock() for assignment and does
  smp_read_barrier_depends() between "ioc = task->io_context" and "if
  (ioc)".  Unfortunately, this doesn't achieve anything - the latter
  is not a dependent load of the former.  ie, if ioc itself were being
  dereferenced "ioc->xxx", it would mean something (not sure what tho)
  but as the code currently stands, the dependent read barrier is
  noop.

As only one of the the two test-assignment sequences is task_lock()
protected, the task_lock() can't do much about race between the two.
Nothing prevents current_io_context() and set_task_ioprio() allocating
its own ioc for the same task and overwriting the other's.

Also, set_task_ioprio() can race with exiting task and create a new
ioc after exit_io_context() is finished.

ioc get/put doesn't have any reason to be complex.  The only hot path
is accessing the existing ioc of %current, which is simple to achieve
given that ->io_context is never destroyed as long as the task is
alive.  All other paths can happily go through task_lock() like all
other task sub structures without impacting anything.

This patch updates ioc get/put so that it becomes more conventional.

* alloc_io_context() is replaced with get_task_io_context().  This is
  the only interface which can acquire access to ioc of another task.
  On return, the caller has an explicit reference to the object which
  should be put using put_io_context() afterwards.

* The functionality of current_io_context() remains the same but when
  creating a new ioc, it shares the code path with
  get_task_io_context() and always goes through task_lock().

* get_io_context() now means incrementing ref on an ioc which the
  caller already has access to (be that an explicit refcnt or implicit
  %current one).

* PF_EXITING inhibits creation of new io_context and once
  exit_io_context() is finished, it's guaranteed that both ioc
  acquisition functions return %NULL.

* All users are updated.  Most are trivial but
  smp_read_barrier_depends() removal from cfq_get_io_context() needs a
  bit of explanation.  I suppose the original intention was to ensure
  ioc->ioprio is visible when set_task_ioprio() allocates new
  io_context and installs it; however, this wouldn't have worked
  because set_task_ioprio() doesn't have wmb between init and install.
  There are other problems with this which will be fixed in another
  patch.

* While at it, use NUMA_NO_NODE instead of -1 for wildcard node
  specification.

5eb46851de cfq-iosched: fix cfq_cic_link() race confition
cfq_cic_link() has race condition. When some processes which shared ioc
issue I/O to same block device simultaneously, cfq_cic_link() returns -EEXIST
sometimes. The race condition might stop I/O by following steps:

step  1: Process A: Issue an I/O to /dev/sda
step  2: Process A: Get an ioc (iocA here) in get_io_context() which does not
		    linked with a cic for the device
step  3: Process A: Get a new cic for the device (cicA here) in
		    cfq_alloc_io_context()

step  4: Process B: Issue an I/O to /dev/sda
step  5: Process B: Get iocA in get_io_context() since process A and B share the
		    same ioc
step  6: Process B: Get a new cic for the device (cicB here) in
		    cfq_alloc_io_context() since iocA has not been linked with a
		    cic for the device yet

step  7: Process A: Link cicA to iocA in cfq_cic_link()
step  8: Process A: Dispatch I/O to driver and finish it

step  9: Process B: Try to link cicB to iocA in cfq_cic_link()
		    But it fails with showing "cfq: cic link failed!" kernel
		    message, since iocA has already linked with cicA at step 7.
step 10: Process B: Wait for finishig I/O in get_request_wait()
		    The function does not wake up, when there is no I/O to the
		    device.

When cfq_cic_link() returns -EEXIST, it means ioc has already linked with cic.
So when cfq_cic_link() return -EEXIST, retry cfq_cic_lookup().

The commit introduced alias for block devices which is intended to be

This approach adds very limited benefit (raw log might be easier to
follow) which can be trivially implemented in userland but has a lot
of problems.

It is much worse than netif renames because it doesn't rename the
actual device but just adds conveninence name which isn't used
universally or enforced.  Everything internal including device lookup
and sysfs still uses the internal name and nothing prevents two
devices from using conflicting alias - ie. sda can have sdb as its
alias.

This has been nacked by people working on device driver core, block
layer and kernel-userland interface and shouldn't have been
upstreamed.  Revert it.

This is because bdev holds on to disk but disk doesn't pin the
associated queue.  If a SCSI device is removed while the device is
still open, the sdev puts the base reference to the queue on release.
When the bdev is finally released, the associated queue is already
gone along with the bdi and bdev_inode_switch_bdi() ends up
dereferencing already freed bdi.

Even if it were not for this bug, disk not holding onto the associated
queue is very unusual and error-prone.

Fix it by making add_disk() take an extra reference to its queue and
put it on disk_release() and ensuring that disk and its fops owner are
put in that order after all accesses to the disk and queue are
complete.

e67b77c791 blk-flush: move the queue kick into
A dm-multipath user reported[1] a problem when trying to boot
a kernel with commit 4853abaae7
(block: fix flush machinery for stacking drivers with differring
flush flags) applied.  It turns out that an empty flush request
can be sent into blk_insert_flush.  When the BUG_ON was fixed
to allow for this, I/O on the underlying device would stall.  The
reason is that blk_insert_cloned_request does not kick the queue.
In the aforementioned commit, I had added a special case to
kick the queue if data was sent down but the queue flags did
not require a flush.  A better solution is to push the queue
kick up into blk_insert_cloned_request.

This patch, along with a follow-on which fixes the BUG_ON, fixes
the issue reported.

A user reported a regression due to commit
4853abaae7 (block: fix flush
machinery for stacking drivers with differring flush flags).
Part of the problem is that blk_insert_flush required a
single bio be attached to the request.  In reality, having
no attached bio is also a valid case, as can be observed with
an empty flush.

bio originally has the functionality to set the complete cpu, but
it is broken.

Chirstoph said that "This code is unused, and from the all the

And Jens replied with "We can kill bio_set_completion_cpu(). I'm fine
with leaving cpu control to the request based drivers, they are the
only ones that can toggle the setting anyway".

So this patch tries to remove all the work of controling complete cpu
from a bio.

c9a929dde3 block: fix request_queue lifetime handling by making blk_queue_cleanup() properly shutdown
request_queue is refcounted but actually depdends on lifetime
management from the queue owner - on blk_cleanup_queue(), block layer
expects that there's no request passing through request_queue and no
new one will.

This is fundamentally broken.  The queue owner (e.g. SCSI layer)
doesn't have a way to know whether there are other active users before
calling blk_cleanup_queue() and other users (e.g. bsg) don't have any
guarantee that the queue is and would stay valid while it's holding a
reference.

With delay added in blk_queue_bio() before queue_lock is grabbed, the
following oops can be easily triggered when a device is removed with
in-flight IOs.

This happens because blk_queue_cleanup() destroys the queue and
elevator whether IOs are in progress or not and DEAD tests are
sprinkled in the request processing path without proper
synchronization.

Similar problem exists for blk-throtl.  On queue cleanup, blk-throtl
is shutdown whether it has requests in it or not.  Depending on
timing, it either oopses or throttled bios are lost putting tasks
which are waiting for bio completion into eternal D state.

The way it should work is having the usual clear distinction between
shutdown and release.  Shutdown drains all currently pending requests,
marks the queue dead, and performs partial teardown of the now
unnecessary part of the queue.  Even after shutdown is complete,
reference holders are still allowed to issue requests to the queue
although they will be immmediately failed.  The rest of teardown
happens on release.

This patch makes the following changes to make blk_queue_cleanup()
behave as proper shutdown.

* QUEUE_FLAG_DEAD is now set while holding both q->exit_mutex and
  queue_lock.

* Unsynchronized DEAD check in generic_make_request_checks() removed.
  This couldn't make any meaningful difference as the queue could die
  after the check.

* blk_drain_queue() updated such that it can drain all requests and is
  now called during cleanup.

* blk_throtl updated such that it checks DEAD on grabbing queue_lock,
  drains all throttled bios during cleanup and free td when queue is
  released.

attempt_plug_merge() accesses elevator without holding queue_lock and

elevator is never exited with live requests, so as long as the

da8303c63b block: make get_request[_wait]() fail if queue is dead
Currently get_request[_wait]() allocates request whether queue is dead
or not.  This patch makes get_request[_wait]() return NULL if @q is
dead.  blk_queue_bio() is updated to fail the submitted bio if request
allocation fails.  While at it, add docbook comments for
get_request[_wait]().

Note that the current code has rather unclear (there are spurious DEAD
tests scattered around) assumption that the owner of a queue
guarantees that no request travels block layer if the queue is dead
and this patch in itself doesn't change much; however, this will allow
fixing the broken assumption in the next patch.

bc16a4f933 block: reorganize throtl_get_tg() and blk_throtl_bio()
blk_throtl_bio() and throtl_get_tg() have rather unusual interface.

* throtl_get_tg() returns pointer to a valid tg or ERR_PTR(-ENODEV),
  and drops queue_lock in the latter case.  Different locking context
  depending on return value is error-prone and DEAD state is scheduled
  to be protected by queue_lock anyway.  Move DEAD check inside
  queue_lock and return valid tg or NULL.

* blk_throtl_bio() indicates return status both with its return value
  and in/out param **@bio.  The former is used to indicate whether
  queue is found to be dead during throtl processing.  The latter
  whether the bio is throttled.

  There's no point in returning DEAD check result from
  blk_throtl_bio().  The queue can die after blk_throtl_bio() is
  finished but before make_request_fn() grabs queue lock.

  Make it take *@bio instead and return boolean result indicating
  whether the request is throttled or not.

blk_get/put_queue() in scsi_cmd_ioctl() and throtl_get_tg() are
completely bogus.  The caller must have a reference to the queue on
entry and taking an extra reference doesn't change anything.

For scsi_cmd_ioctl(), the only effect is that it ends up checking
QUEUE_FLAG_DEAD on entry; however, this is bogus as queue can die
right after blk_get_queue().  Dead queue should be and is handled in
request issue path (it's somewhat broken now but that's a separate
problem and doesn't affect this one much).

throtl_get_tg() incorrectly assumes that q is rcu freed.  Also, it
doesn't check return value of blk_get_queue().  If the queue is
already dead, it ends up doing an extra put.

Drop them.

This is because bdev holds on to disk but disk doesn't pin the
associated queue.  If a SCSI device is removed while the device is
still open, the sdev puts the base reference to the queue on release.
When the bdev is finally released, the associated queue is already
gone along with the bdi and bdev_inode_switch_bdi() ends up
dereferencing already freed bdi.

Even if it were not for this bug, disk not holding onto the associated
queue is very unusual and error-prone.

Fix it by making add_disk() take an extra reference to its queue and
put it on disk_release() and ensuring that disk and its fops owner are
put in that order after all accesses to the disk and queue are
complete.

777eb1bf15 block: Free queue resources at blk_release_queue()
A kernel crash is observed when a mounted ext3/ext4 filesystem is
physically removed. The problem is that blk_cleanup_queue() frees up
some resources eg by calling elevator_exit(), which are not checked for
in normal operation. So we should rather move these calls to the
destructor function blk_release_queue() as at that point all remaining
references are gone. However, in doing so we have to ensure that any
externally supplied queue_lock is disconnected as the driver might free
up the lock after the call of blk_cleanup_queue(),

d11bb4462c blk-cgroup: be able to remove the record of unplugged device
The bug is we're not able to remove the device from blkio cgroup's
per-device control files if it gets unplugged.

To reproduce the bug:

  # mount -t cgroup -o blkio xxx /cgroup
  # cd /cgroup
  # echo "8:0 1000" > blkio.throttle.read_bps_device
  # unplug the device
  # cat blkio.throttle.read_bps_device
  8:0	1000
  # echo "8:0 0" > blkio.throttle.read_bps_device
  -bash: echo: write error: No such device

After patching, the device removal will succeed.

a72c5e5eb7 [SCSI] genhd: add a new attribute "alias" in gendisk
This patch allows the user to set an "alias" of the disk via sysfs interface.

This patch only adds a new attribute "alias" in gendisk structure.
To show the alias instead of the device name in kernel messages,
we need to revise printk messages and use alias_name() in them.

Example:
(current) printk("disk name is %s\n", disk->disk_name);
(new)     printk("disk name is %s\n", alias_name(disk));

Users can use alphabets, numbers, '-' and '_' in "alias" attribute. A disk can
have an "alias" which length is up to 255 bytes. This attribute is write-once.

This patch adds GENHD_FL_NO_PART_SCAN which suppresses partition scan
regardless of the number of possible partitions.  disk_partitionable()
is renamed to disk_part_scan_enabled() as suppressing partition scan
doesn't imply the device can't be partitioned using

4853abaae7 block: fix flush machinery for stacking drivers with differring flush flags
Commit ae1b153962, block: reimplement
FLUSH/FUA to support merge, introduced a performance regression when
running any sort of fsyncing workload using dm-multipath and certain
storage (in our case, an HP EVA).  The test I ran was fs_mark, and it
dropped from ~800 files/sec on ext4 to ~100 files/sec.  It turns out
that dm-multipath always advertised flush+fua support, and passed
commands on down the stack, where those flags used to get stripped off.
The above commit changed that behavior:

static inline struct request *__elv_next_request(struct request_queue *q)
{
        struct request *rq;

        while (1) {
-               while (!list_empty(&q->queue_head)) {
+               if (!list_empty(&q->queue_head)) {
                        rq = list_entry_rq(q->queue_head.next);
-                       if (!(rq->cmd_flags & (REQ_FLUSH | REQ_FUA)) ||
-                           (rq->cmd_flags & REQ_FLUSH_SEQ))
-                               return rq;
-                       rq = blk_do_flush(q, rq);
-                       if (rq)
-                               return rq;
+                       return rq;
                }

Note that previously, a command would come in here, have
REQ_FLUSH|REQ_FUA set, and then get handed off to blk_do_flush:

struct request *blk_do_flush(struct request_queue *q, struct request *rq)
{
        unsigned int fflags = q->flush_flags; /* may change, cache it */
        bool has_flush = fflags & REQ_FLUSH, has_fua = fflags & REQ_FUA;
        bool do_preflush = has_flush && (rq->cmd_flags & REQ_FLUSH);
        bool do_postflush = has_flush && !has_fua && (rq->cmd_flags &
        REQ_FUA);
        unsigned skip = 0;
...
        if (blk_rq_sectors(rq) && !do_preflush && !do_postflush) {
                rq->cmd_flags &= ~REQ_FLUSH;
		if (!has_fua)
			rq->cmd_flags &= ~REQ_FUA;
	        return rq;
	}

So, the flush machinery was bypassed in such cases (q->flush_flags == 0
&& rq->cmd_flags & (REQ_FLUSH|REQ_FUA)).

Now, however, we don't get into the flush machinery at all.  Instead,
__elv_next_request just hands a request with flush and fua bits set to
the scsi_request_fn, even if the underlying request_queue does not
support flush or fua.

The agreed upon approach is to fix the flush machinery to allow
stacking.  While this isn't used in practice (since there is only one
request-based dm target, and that target will now reflect the flush
flags of the underlying device), it does future-proof the solution, and
make it function as designed.

In order to make this work, I had to add a field to the struct request,
inside the flush structure (to store the original req->end_io).  Shaohua
had suggested overloading the union with rb_node and completion_data,
but the completion data is used by device mapper and can also be used by
other drivers.  So, I didn't see a way around the additional field.

I tested this patch on an HP EVA with both ext4 and xfs, and it recovers
the lost performance.  Comments and other testers, as always, are
appreciated.

Jeff

bcf30e75b7 block: improve rq_affinity placement
This patch reverts commit 35ae66e0a09ab70ed(block: Make rq_affinity = 1
work as expected). The purpose is to avoid an unnecessary IPI.
Let's take an example. My test box has cpu 0-7, one socket. Say request is
added from CPU 1, blk_complete_request() occurs at CPU 7. Without the reverted
patch, softirq will be done at CPU 7. With it, an IPI will be directed to CPU
0, and softirq will be done at CPU 0. In this case, doing softirq at CPU 0 and
CPU 7 have no difference from cache sharing point view and we can avoid an
ipi if doing it in CPU 7.
An immediate concern is this is just like QUEUE_FLAG_SAME_FORCE, but actually
not. blk_complete_request() is running in interrupt handler, and currently
I/O controller doesn't support multiple interrupts (I checked several LSI
cards and AHCI), so only one CPU can run blk_complete_request(). This is
still quite different as QUEUE_FLAG_SAME_FORCE.
Since only one CPU runs softirq, the only difference with below patch is
softirq not always runs at the first CPU of a group.

fa1bf42ff9 allow blk_flush_policy to return REQ_FSEQ_DATA independent of *FLUSH
blk_insert_flush has the following check:

	/*
	 * If there's data but flush is not necessary, the request can be
	 * processed directly without going through flush machinery.  Queue
	 * for normal execution.
	 */
	if ((policy & REQ_FSEQ_DATA) &&
	    !(policy & (REQ_FSEQ_PREFLUSH | REQ_FSEQ_POSTFLUSH))) {
		list_add_tail(&rq->queuelist, &q->queue_head);
		return;
	}

However, blk_flush_policy will not return with policy set to only
REQ_FSEQ_DATA:

static unsigned int blk_flush_policy(unsigned int fflags, struct request *rq)
{
	unsigned int policy = 0;

	if (fflags & REQ_FLUSH) {
		if (rq->cmd_flags & REQ_FLUSH)
			policy |= REQ_FSEQ_PREFLUSH;
		if (blk_rq_sectors(rq))
			policy |= REQ_FSEQ_DATA;
		if (!(fflags & REQ_FUA) && (rq->cmd_flags & REQ_FUA))
			policy |= REQ_FSEQ_POSTFLUSH;
	}
	return policy;
}

Notice that REQ_FSEQ_DATA is only set if REQ_FLUSH is set.  Fix this
mismatch by moving the setting of REQ_FSEQ_DATA outside of the REQ_FLUSH
check.

Tejun notes:

  Hmmm... yes, this can become a correctness issue if (and only if)
  blk_queue_flush() is called to change q->flush_flags while requests
  are in-flight; otherwise, requests wouldn't reach the function at all.
  Also, I think it would be a generally good idea to always set
  FSEQ_DATA if the request has data.

dd48c085c1 fault-injection: add ability to export fault_attr in arbitrary directory
init_fault_attr_dentries() is used to export fault_attr via debugfs.
But it can only export it in debugfs root directory.

Per Forlin is working on mmc_fail_request which adds support to inject
data errors after a completed host transfer in MMC subsystem.

The fault_attr for mmc_fail_request should be defined per mmc host and
export it in debugfs directory per mmc host like
/sys/kernel/debug/mmc0/mmc_fail_request.

init_fault_attr_dentries() doesn't help for mmc_fail_request.  So this
introduces fault_create_debugfs_attr() which is able to create a
directory in the arbitrary directory and replace
init_fault_attr_dentries().

diskstats_show() uses part_stat_read() to get the stats, which either

or sums up the per CPU values in a variable of the same type as the field,
so in any case the result will have the same type and range as the
specified field which for all disk_stats entries is unsigned long

Also, for unsigned long ranges the output of %lu should be identical to
the one of %llu, so no change in the actual proc entry contents.

e2a5429ff7 bsg-lib: add module.h include
Due to conflicts with the moduleh tree in linux-next, we
run into an include file mess. We really need export.h
in that tree, but if we add module.h locally then the
issue is easier to resolve.

a5395b83b7 cfq-iosched: Reduce linked group count upon group destruction
FQ keeps track of number of groups which are linked on blkcg->blkg_list.
This is useful to avoid races between queue exit and cgroup exit code
paths. So if at the request queue exit time linked group count is not
zero, that means there are some group out there which is yet to be
deleted under rcu read period and queue exit code should wait for
on rcu period.

In my previous patch I forgot to decrease the number of group count.
So in current form, we nr_blkcg_linked_grps is always non-zero and
we will always wait one rcu period (if BLK_CGROUP=y). The side effect
of this is that it can increase boot time. I am surprised, nobody
complained so far.

5757a6d76c block: strict rq_affinity
Some systems benefit from completions always being steered to the strict
requester cpu rather than the looser "per-socket" steering that
blk_cpu_to_group() attempts by default. This is because the first
CPU in the group mask ends up being completely overloaded with work,
while the others (including the original submitter) has power left
to spare.

Allow the strict mode to be set by writing '2' to the sysfs control
file. This is identical to the scheme used for the nomerges file,
where '2' is a more aggressive setting than just being turned on.

bfe159a512 [SCSI] fix crash in scsi_dispatch_cmd()
USB surprise removal of sr is triggering an oops in
scsi_dispatch_command().  What seems to be happening is that USB is
hanging on to a queue reference until the last close of the upper
device, so the crash is caused by surprise remove of a mounted CD
followed by attempted unmount.

The problem is that USB doesn't issue its final commands as part of
the SCSI teardown path, but on last close when the block queue is long
gone.  The long term fix is probably to make sr do the teardown in the
same way as sd (so remove all the lower bits on ejection, but keep the
upper disk alive until last close of user space).  However, the
current oops can be simply fixed by not allowing any commands to be
sent to a dead queue.

4aede84b33 fixlet: Remove fs_excl from struct task.
fs_excl is a poor man's priority inheritance for filesystems to hint to
the block layer that an operation is important. It was never clearly
specified, not widely adopted, and will not prevent starvation in many
cases (like across cgroups).

fs_excl was introduced with the time sliced CFQ IO scheduler, to
indicate when a process held FS exclusive resources and thus needed
a boost.

It doesn't cover all file systems, and it was never fully complete.
Lets kill it.

55c022bbdd block: avoid building too big plug list
When I test fio script with big I/O depth, I found the total throughput drops
compared to some relative small I/O depth. The reason is the thread accumulates
big requests in its plug list and causes some delays (surely this depends
on CPU speed).
I thought we'd better have a threshold for requests. When a threshold reaches,
this means there is no request merge and queue lock contention isn't severe
when pushing per-task requests to queue, so the main advantages of blk plug
don't exist. We can force a plug list flush in this case.
With this, my test throughput actually increases and almost equals to small
I/O depth. Another side effect is irq off time decreases in blk_flush_plug_list()
for big I/O depth.
The BLK_MAX_REQUEST_COUNT is choosen arbitarily, but 16 is efficiently to
reduce lock contention to me. But I'm open here, 32 is ok in my test too.

0f79960391 block: eliminate potential for infinite loop in blkdev_issue_discard
Due to the recently identified overflow in read_capacity_16() it was
possible for max_discard_sectors to be zero but still have discards
enabled on the associated device's queue.

Eliminate the possibility for blkdev_issue_discard to infinitely loop.

Interestingly this issue wasn't identified until a device, whose
discard_granularity was 0 due to read_capacity_16 overflow, was consumed
by blk_stack_limits() to construct limits for a higher-level DM
multipath device.  The multipath device's resulting limits never had the
discard limits stacked because blk_stack_limits() will only do so if
the bottom device's discard_granularity != 0.  This resulted in the
multipath device's limits.max_discard_sectors being 0.

85ef06d1d2 block: flush MEDIA_CHANGE from drivers on close(2)
Currently, only open(2) is defined as the 'clearing' point.  It has
two roles - first, it's an acknowledgement from userland indicating
that the event has been received and kernel can clear pending states
and proceed to generate more events.  Secondly, it's passed on to
device drivers as a hint indicating that a synchronization point has
been reached and it might want to take a deeper look at the device.

The latter currently is only used by sr which uses two different
mechanisms - GET_EVENT_MEDIA_STATUS_NOTIFICATION and TEST_UNIT_READY
to discover events, where the former is lighter weight and safe to be
used repeatedly but may not provide full coverage.  Among other
things, GET_EVENT can't detect media removal while TUR can.

This patch makes close(2) - blkdev_put() - indicate clearing hint for
MEDIA_CHANGE to drivers.  disk_check_events() is renamed to
disk_flush_events() and updated to take @mask for events to flush
which is or'd to ev->clearing and will be passed to the driver on the
next ->check_events() invocation.

This change makes sr generate MEDIA_CHANGE when media is ejected from
userland - e.g. with eject(1).

Note: Given the current usage, it seems @clearing hint is needlessly
complex.  disk_clear_events() can simply clear all events and the hint
can be boolean @flush.

fdd514e16b block: make disk_block_events() properly wait for work cancellation
disk_block_events() should guarantee that the event work is not in
flight on return and once blocked it shouldn't issue further
cancellations.

Because there was no synchronization between the first blocker doing
cancel_delayed_work_sync() and the following blockers, the following
blockers could finish before cancellation was complete, which broke
both guarantees - event work could be in flight and cancellation could
happen after return.

This bug triggered WARN_ON_ONCE() in disk_clear_events() reported in
bug#34662.

  https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=34662

Fix it by adding an outer mutex which protects both block count
manipulation and work cancellation.

-v2: Use outer mutex instead of bit waitqueue per Linus.

a9dce2a3b4 block: don't use non-syncing event blocking in disk_check_events()
This patch is part of fix for triggering of WARN_ON_ONCE() in
disk_clear_events() reported in bug#34662.

  https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=34662

disk_clear_events() blocks events, schedules and flushes the event
work.  It expects the work to have started execution on schedule and
finished on return from flush.  WARN_ON_ONCE() triggers if the event
work hasn't executed as expected.  This problem happens because
__disk_block_events() fails to guarantee that the event work item is
not in flight on return from the function in race-free manner.  The
problem is two-fold and this patch addresses one of them.

When __disk_block_events() is called with @sync == %false, it bumps
event block count, calls cancel_delayed_work() and return.  This makes
it impossible to guarantee that event polling is not in flight on
return from syncing __disk_block_events() - if the first blocker was
non-syncing, polling could still be in progress and later syncing ones
would assume that the first blocker already canceled it.

Making __disk_block_events() cancel_sync regardless of block count
isn't feasible either as it may race with forced event checking in
disk_clear_events().

As disk_check_events() is the only user of non-syncing
__disk_block_events(), updating it to directly cancel and schedule
event work is the easiest way to solve the issue.

Note that there's another bug in __disk_block_events() and this patch
doesn't fix the issue completely.  Later patch will fix the other bug.

796d5116c4 iosched: prevent aliased requests from starving other I/O
Hi, Jens,

If you recall, I posted an RFC patch for this back in July of last year:
http://lkml.org/lkml/2010/7/13/279

The basic problem is that a process can issue a never-ending stream of
async direct I/Os to the same sector on a device, thus starving out
other I/O in the system (due to the way the alias handling works in both
cfq and deadline).  The solution I proposed back then was to start
dispatching from the fifo after a certain number of aliases had been
dispatched.  Vivek asked why we had to treat aliases differently at all,
and I never had a good answer.  So, I put together a simple patch which
allows aliases to be added to the rb tree (it adds them to the right,
though that doesn't matter as the order isn't guaranteed anyway).  I
think this is the preferred solution, as it doesn't break up time slices
in CFQ or batches in deadline.  I've tested it, and it does solve the
starvation issue.  Let me know what you think.

Cheers,
Jeff

f780bdb7c1 cgroups: add per-thread subsystem callbacks
Add cgroup subsystem callbacks for per-thread attachment in atomic contexts

Add can_attach_task(), pre_attach(), and attach_task() as new callbacks
for cgroups's subsystem interface.  Unlike can_attach and attach, these
are for per-thread operations, to be called potentially many times when
attaching an entire threadgroup.

Also, the old "bool threadgroup" interface is removed, as replaced by
this.  All subsystems are modified for the new interface - of note is
cpuset, which requires from/to nodemasks for attach to be globally scoped
(though per-cpuset would work too) to persist from its pre_attach to
attach_task and attach.

This is a pre-patch for cgroup-procs-writable.patch.

75e3f3ee3c block: always allocate genhd->ev if check_events is implemented
9fd097b149 (block: unexport DISK_EVENT_MEDIA_CHANGE for legacy/fringe
drivers) removed DISK_EVENT_MEDIA_CHANGE from legacy/fringe block
drivers which have inadequate ->check_events().  Combined with earlier
change 7c88a168da (block: don't propagate unlisted DISK_EVENTs to
userland), this enables using ->check_events() for internal processing
while avoiding enabling in-kernel block event polling which can lead
to infinite event loop.

Unfortunately, this made many drivers including floppy without any bit
set in disk->events and ->async_events in which case disk_add_events()
simply skipped allocation of disk->ev, which disables whole event
handling.  As ->check_events() is still used during open processing
for revalidation, this can lead to open failure.

This patch always allocates disk->ev if ->check_events is implemented.
In the long term, it would make sense to simply include the event
structure inline into genhd as it's now used by virtually all block
devices.

f0bdc8cdd9 blk-cgroup: Make cgroup stat reset path blkg->lock free for dispatch stats
Now dispatch stats update is lock free. But reset of these stats still
takes blkg->stats_lock and is dependent on that. As stats are per cpu,
we should be able to just reset the stats on each cpu without any locks.
(Atleast for 64bit arch).

On 32bit arch there is a small race where 64bit updates are not atomic.
The result of this race can be that in the presence of other writers,
one might not get 0 value after reset of a stat and might see something
intermediate

One can write more complicated code to cover this race like sending IPI
to other cpus to reset stats and for offline cpus, reset these directly.

Right not I am not taking that path because reset_update is more of a
debug feature and it can happen only on 32bit arch and possibility of
it happening is small. Will fix it if it becomes a real problem. For
the time being going for code simplicity.

56edf7d75d cfq-iosched: Fix a possible race with cfq cgroup removal code
blkg->key = cfqd is an rcu protected pointer and hence we used to do
call_rcu(cfqd->rcu_head) to free up cfqd after one rcu grace period.

The problem here is that even though cfqd is around, there are no
gurantees that associated request queue (td->queue) or q->queue_lock
is still around. A driver might have called blk_cleanup_queue() and
release the lock.

It might happen that after freeing up the lock we call
blkg->key->queue->queue_ock and crash. This is possible in following
path.

blkiocg_destroy()
 blkio_unlink_group_fn()
  cfq_unlink_blkio_group()

Hence, wait for an rcu peirod if there are groups which have not
been unlinked from blkcg->blkg_list. That way, if there are any groups
which are taking cfq_unlink_blkio_group() path, can safely take queue
lock.

This is how we have taken care of race in throttling logic also.
