iocg_wake_fn() open-codes wait_queue_entry removal and wakeup because it
wants the wq_entry to be always removed whether it ended up waking the
task or not. finish_wait() tests whether wq_entry needs removal without
grabbing the wait_queue lock and expects the waker to use
list_del_init_careful() after all waking operations are complete, which
iocg_wake_fn() didn't do. The operation order was wrong and the regular
list_del_init() was used.
The result is that if a waiter wakes up racing the waker, it can free pop
the wq_entry off stack before the waker is still looking at it, which can
lead to a backtrace like the following.

When the weight of an active iocg is updated, weight_updated() is called
which in turn calls __propagate_weights() to update the active and inuse
weights so that the effective hierarchical weights are update accordingly.
The current implementation is incorrect for inner active nodes. For an
active leaf iocg, inuse can be any value between 1 and active and the
difference represents how much the iocg is donating. When weight is updated,
as long as inuse is clamped between 1 and the new weight, we're alright and
this is what __propagate_weights() currently implements.
However, that's not how an active inner node's inuse is set. An inner node's
inuse is solely determined by the ratio between the sums of inuse's and
active's of its children - ie. they're results of propagating the leaves'
active and inuse weights upwards. __propagate_weights() incorrectly applies
the same clamping as for a leaf when an active inner node's weight is
updated. Consider a hierarchy which looks like the following with saturating
workloads in AA and BB.
R
/ \
A B
| |
AA BB
1. For both A and B, active=100, inuse=100, hwa=0.5, hwi=0.5.
2. echo 200 > A/io.weight
3. __propagate_weights() update A's active to 200 and leave inuse at 100 as
it's already between 1 and the new active, making A:active=200,
A:inuse=100. As R's active_sum is updated along with A's active,
A:hwa=2/3, B:hwa=1/3. However, because the inuses didn't change, the
hwi's remain unchanged at 0.5.
4. The weight of A is now twice that of B but AA and BB still have the same
hwi of 0.5 and thus are doing the same amount of IOs.
Fix it by making __propgate_weights() always calculate the inuse of an
active inner iocg based on the ratio of child_inuse_sum to child_active_sum.

When initializing iocost for a queue, its rqos should be registered before
the blkcg policy is activated to allow policy data initiailization to lookup
the associated ioc. This unfortunately means that the rqos methods can be
called on bios before iocgs are attached to all existing blkgs.
While the race is theoretically possible on ioc_rqos_throttle(), it mostly
happened in ioc_rqos_merge() due to the difference in how they lookup ioc.
The former determines it from the passed in @rqos and then bails before
dereferencing iocg if the looked up ioc is disabled, which most likely is
the case if initialization is still in progress. The latter looked up ioc by
dereferencing the possibly NULL iocg making it a lot more prone to actually
triggering the bug.
* Make ioc_rqos_merge() use the same method as ioc_rqos_throttle() to look

To simplify block device lookup and a few other upcoming areas, make sure
that we always have a struct block_device available for each disk and
each partition, and only find existing block devices in bdget. The only
downside of this is that each device and partition uses a little more
memory. The upside will be that a lot of code can be simplified.
With that all we need to look up the block device is to lookup the inode
and do a few sanity checks on the gendisk, instead of the separate lookup
for the gendisk. For blk-cgroup which wants to access a gendisk without
opening it, a new blkdev_{get,put}_no_open low-level interface is added
to replace the previous get_gendisk use.
Note that the change to look up block device directly instead of the two
step lookup using struct gendisk causes a subtile change in behavior:
accessing a non-existing partition on an existing block device can now
cause a call to request_module. That call is harmless, and in practice
no recent system will access these nodes as they aren't created by udev
and static /dev/ setups are unusual.

Debt reduction was blocked if any iocg was short on budget in the past
period to avoid reducing debts while some iocgs are saturated. However, this
ends up unnecessarily blocking debt reduction due to temporary local
imbalances when the device is generally being underutilized, while also
failing to block when the underlying device is overwhelmed and the usage
becomes low from high latency.
Given that debt accumulation mostly happens with swapout bursts which can
significantly deteriorate the underlying device's latency response, the
current logic is not great.

adjust_inuse_and_calc_cost() is responsible for reducing the amount of
donated weights dynamically in period as the budget runs low. Because we
don't want to do full donation calculation in period, we keep latching up
inuse by INUSE_ADJ_STEP_PCT of the active weight of the cgroup until the
resulting hweight_inuse is satisfactory.
Unfortunately, the adj_step calculation was reading the active weight before
acquiring ioc->lock. Because the current thread could have lost race to
activate the iocg to another thread before entering this function, it may
read the active weight as zero before acquiring ioc->lock. When this
happens, the adj_step is calculated as zero and the incremental adjustment
loop becomes an infinite one.
Fix it by fetching the active weight after acquiring ioc->lock.

A low weight iocg can amass a large amount of debt, for example, when
anonymous memory gets reclaimed aggressively. If the system has a lot of
memory paired with a slow IO device, the debt can span multiple seconds or
more. If there are no other subsequent IO issuers, the in-debt iocg may end
up blocked paying its debt while the IO device is idle.
This patch implements a mechanism to protect against such pathological
cases. If the device has been sufficiently idle for a substantial amount of
time, the debts are halved. The criteria are on the conservative side as we
want to resolve the rare extreme cases without impacting regular operation
by forgiving debts too readily.

Curently, iocost syncs the delay duration to the outstanding debt amount,
which seemed enough to protect the system from anon memory hogs. However,
that was mostly because the delay calcuation was using hweight_inuse which
quickly converges towards zero under debt for delay duration calculation,
often pusnishing debtors overly harshly for longer than deserved.
The previous patch fixed the delay calcuation and now the protection against
anonymous memory hogs isn't enough because the effect of delay is indirect
and non-linear and a huge amount of future debt can accumulate abruptly
while unthrottled.
This patch implements delay hysteresis so that delay is decayed
exponentially over time instead of getting cleared immediately as debt is
paid off. While the overall behavior is similar to the blk-cgroup
implementation used by blk-iolatency, a lot of the details are different and
due to the empirical nature of the mechanism, it's challenging to adapt the
mechanism for one controller without negatively impacting the other.
As the delay is gradually decayed now, there's no point in running it from
its own hrtimer. Periodic updates are now performed from ioc_timer_fn() and
the dedicated hrtimer is removed.

Debt handling had several issues.
* How much inuse a debtor carries wasn't clearly defined. inuse would be
driven down over time from not issuing IOs but it'd be better to clamp it
to minimum immediately once in debt.
* How much can be paid off was determined by hweight_inuse. As inuse was
driven down, the payment amount would fall together regardless of the
debtor's active weight. This means that the debtors were punished harshly.
* ioc_rqos_merge() wasn't calling blkcg_schedule_throttle() after
iocg_kick_delay().
This patch revamps debt handling so that
* Debt handling owns inuse for iocgs in debt and keeps them at zero.
* Payment amount is determined by hweight_active. This is more deterministic
and safer than hweight_inuse but still far from ideal in that it doesn't
factor in possible donations from other iocgs for debt payments. This
likely needs further improvements in the future.

When the margin drops below the minimum on a donating iocg, donation is

* It's abrupt. A small temporary budget deficit can lead to a wide swing in
weight allocation and a large surplus.
* It's open coded in the issue path but not implemented for the merge path.
A series of merges at a low inuse can make the iocg incur debts and stall
incorrectly.
This patch reimplements in-period donation snapbacks so that
* inuse adjustment and cost calculations are factored into
adjust_inuse_and_calc_cost() which is called from both the issue and merge
paths.
* Snapbacks are more gradual. It occurs in quarter steps.
* A snapback triggers if the margin goes below the low threshold and is
lower than the budget at the time of the last adjustment.
* For the above, __propagate_weights() stores the margin in

iocost has various safety nets to combat inuse adjustment calculation
inaccuracies. With Andy's method implemented in transfer_surpluses(), inuse
adjustment calculations are now accurate and we can make donation amount
determinations accurate too.
* Stop keeping track of past usage history and using the maximum. Act on the
immediate usage information.
* Remove donation constraints defined by SURPLUS_* constants. Donate
whatever isn't used.
* Determine the donation amount so that the iocg will end up with
MARGIN_TARGET_PCT budget at the end of the coming period assuming the same
usage as the previous period. TARGET is set at 50% of period, which is the
previous maximum. This provides smooth convergence for most repetitive IO
patterns.
* Apply donation logic early at 20% budget. There's no risk in doing so as
the calculation is based on the delta between the current budget and the
target budget at the end of the coming period.
* Remove preemptive iocg activation for zero cost IOs. As donation can reach
near zero now, the mere activation doesn't provide any protection anymore.
In the unlikely case that this becomes a problem, the right solution is
assigning appropriate costs for such IOs.
This significantly improves the donation determination logic while also
simplifying it. Now all donations are immediate, exact and smooth.

iocost implements work conservation by reducing iocg->inuse and propagating
the adjustment upwards proportionally. However, while I knew the target
absolute hierarchical proportion - adjusted hweight_inuse, I couldn't figure
out how to determine the iocg->inuse adjustment to achieve that and
approximated the adjustment by scaling iocg->inuse using the proportion of
the needed hweight_inuse changes.
When nested, these scalings aren't accurate even when adjusting a single
node as the donating node also receives the benefit of the donated portion.
When multiple nodes are donating as they often do, they can be wildly wrong.
iocost employed various safety nets to combat the inaccuracies. There are
ample buffers in determining how much to donate, the adjustments are
conservative and gradual. While it can achieve a reasonable level of work
conservation in simple scenarios, the inaccuracies can easily add up leading
to significant loss of total work. This in turn makes it difficult to
closely cap vrate as vrate adjustment is needed to compensate for the loss
of work. The combination of inaccurate donation calculations and vrate
adjustments can lead to wide fluctuations and clunky overall behaviors.
Andy Newell devised a method to calculate the needed ->inuse updates to
achieve the target hweight_inuse's. The method is compatible with the
proportional inuse adjustment propagation which allows all hot path
operations to be local to each iocg.
To roughly summarize, Andy's method divides the tree into donating and
non-donating parts, calculates global donation rate which is used to
determine the target hweight_inuse for each node, and then derives per-level
proportions. There's non-trivial amount of math involved. Please refer to
the following pdfs for detailed descriptions.

The way the surplus donation logic is structured isn't great. There are two
separate paths for starting/increasing donations and decreasing them making
the logic harder to follow and is prone to unnecessary behavior differences.
In preparation for improved donation handling, this patch restructures the
code so that
* All donors - new, increasing and decreasing - are funneled through the
same code path.
* The target donation calculation is factored into hweight_after_donation()
which is called once from the same spot for all possible donors.
* Actual inuse adjustment is factored into trasnfer_surpluses().
This change introduces a few behavior differences - e.g. donation amount
reduction now uses the max usage of the recent three periods just like new
and increasing donations, and inuse now gets adjusted upwards the same way
it gets downwards. These differences are unlikely to have severely negative
implications and the whole logic will be revamped soon.

ioc->lock needs to be made before entering the critical sections.
* Add and use iocg_[un]lock() which handles the conditional double locking.
* Add @pay_debt to iocg_kick_waitq() so that debt payment happens only when
the caller grabbed both locks.
This patch is prepatory and the comments contain references to future
changes.

The margin handling was pretty inconsistent.
* ioc->margin_us and ioc->inuse_margin_vtime were used as vtime margin
thresholds. However, the two are in different units with the former
requiring conversion to vtime on use.
* iocg_kick_waitq() was using a quarter of WAITQ_TIMER_MARGIN_PCT of
period_us as the timer slack - ~1.2%. While iocg_kick_delay() was using a
quarter of ioc->margin_us - ~12.5%. There aren't strong reasons to use
different values for the two.
This patch cleans up margin and timer slack handling:
* vtime margins are now recorded in ioc->margins.{min, max} on period
duration changes and used consistently.
* Timer slack is now 1% of period_us and recorded in ioc->timer_slack_ns and
used consistently for iocg_kick_waitq() and iocg_kick_delay().
The only functional change is shortening of timer slack. No meaningful
visible change is expected.

They are in microseconds and wrap in around 1.2 hours with u32. While
unlikely, confusions from wraparounds are still possible. We aren't saving
anything meaningful by keeping these u32. Let's make them u64.

To improve weight donations, we want to able to scale inuse with a greater
accuracy and down below 1. Let's make non-hierarchical weights to use
WEIGHT_ONE based fixed point numbers too like hierarchical ones.
This doesn't cause any behavior changes yet.

We're gonna use HWEIGHT_WHOLE for regular weights too. Let's rename it to
WEIGHT_ONE.
Pure rename.

iocg_kick_waitq() is the function which pays debt and iocg_kick_delay()
updates the actual delay status accordingly. If iocg_kick_delay() is not
called after iocg_kick_delay() updated debt, unnecessarily large delays can
be applied temporarily.
Let's make sure such conditions don't occur by making iocg_kick_waitq()
always call iocg_kick_delay() after paying debt.

__propagate_weights() currently expects the callers to clamp inuse within
[1, active], which is needlessly fragile. The inuse adjustment logic is
going to be revamped, in preparation, let's make __propagate_weights() clamp
inuse on entry.
Also, make it avoid weight updates altogether if neither active or inuse is
changed.

It already propagates two weights - active and inuse - and there will be
another soon. Let's drop the confusing misnomers. Rename
[__]propagate_active_weights() to [__]propagate_weights() and
commit_active_weights() to commit_weights().
This is pure rename.

blk-iocost has been reading percpu stat counters from remote cpus which on
some archs can lead to torn reads in really rare occassions. Use local[64]_t
for those counters.

ioc_pd_free() grabs irq-safe ioc->lock without ensuring that irq is disabled
when it can be called with irq disabled or enabled. This has a small chance
of causing A-A deadlocks and triggers lockdep splats. Use irqsave operations
instead.
