* block: blkcg_policy_cfq shouldn't be used if !CONFIG_CFQ_GROUP_IOSCHEDTejun Heo2012-06-041-12/+17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | cfq may be built w/ or w/o blkcg support depending on CONFIG_CFQ_CGROUP_IOSCHED. If blkcg support is disabled, most of related code is ifdef'd out but some part is left dangling - blkcg_policy_cfq is left zero-filled and blkcg_policy_[un]register() calls are made on it. Feeding zero filled policy to blkcg_policy_register() is incorrect and triggers the following WARN_ON() if CONFIG_BLK_CGROUP && !CONFIG_CFQ_GROUP_IOSCHED. ------------[ cut here ]------------ WARNING: at block/blk-cgroup.c:867 Modules linked in: Modules linked in: CPU: 3 Not tainted 3.4.0-09547-gfb21aff #1 Process swapper/0 (pid: 1, task: 000000003ff80000, ksp: 000000003ff7f8b8) Krnl PSW : 0704100180000000 00000000003d76ca (blkcg_policy_register+0xca/0xe0) R:0 T:1 IO:1 EX:1 Key:0 M:1 W:0 P:0 AS:0 CC:1 PM:0 EA:3 Krnl GPRS: 0000000000000000 00000000014b85ec 00000000014b85b0 0000000000000000 000000000096fb60 0000000000000000 00000000009a8e78 0000000000000048 000000000099c070 0000000000b6f000 0000000000000000 000000000099c0b8 00000000014b85b0 0000000000667580 000000003ff7fd98 000000003ff7fd70 Krnl Code: 00000000003d76be: a7280001 lhi %r2,1 00000000003d76c2: a7f4ffdf brc 15,3d7680 #00000000003d76c6: a7f40001 brc 15,3d76c8 >00000000003d76ca: a7c8ffea lhi %r12,-22 00000000003d76ce: a7f4ffce brc 15,3d766a 00000000003d76d2: a7f40001 brc 15,3d76d4 00000000003d76d6: a7c80000 lhi %r12,0 00000000003d76da: a7f4ffc2 brc 15,3d765e Call Trace: ([<0000000000b6f000>] initcall_debug+0x0/0x4) [<0000000000989e8a>] cfq_init+0x62/0xd4 [<00000000001000ba>] do_one_initcall+0x3a/0x170 [<000000000096fb60>] kernel_init+0x214/0x2bc [<0000000000623202>] kernel_thread_starter+0x6/0xc [<00000000006231fc>] kernel_thread_starter+0x0/0xc no locks held by swapper/0/1.

| * block: Make cfq_target_latency tunable through sysfs.Tao Ma2012-04-011-2/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In cfq, when we calculate a time slice for a process(or a cfqq to be precise), we have to consider the cfq_target_latency so that all the sync request have an estimated latency(300ms) and it is controlled by cfq_target_latency. But in some hadoop test, we have found that if there are many processes doing sequential read(24 for example), the throughput is bad because every process can only work for about 25ms and the cfqq is switched. That leads to a higher disk seek. We can achive the good throughput by setting low_latency=0, but then some read's latency is too much for the application. So this patch makes cfq_target_latency tunable through sysfs so that we can tune it and find some magic number which is not bad for both the throughput and the read latency.

* | blkcg: embed struct blkg_policy_data in policy specific dataTejun Heo2012-04-201-19/+27

This was forced by oddities around blkg allocation which are all gone now. This patch makes blkg_policy_data embedded in policy specific data - throtl_grp and cfq_group so that it's more conventional and consistent with how io_cq is handled. * blkcg_policy->pdata_size is renamed to ->pd_size. * Functions which used to take void *pdata now takes struct blkg_policy_data *pd. * blkg_to_pdata/pdata_to_blkg() updated to blkg_to_pd/pd_to_blkg(). * Dummy struct blkg_policy_data definition added. Dummy pdata_to_blkg() definition was unused and inconsistent with the non-dummy version - correct dummy pd_to_blkg() added. * throtl and cfq updated accordingly. * As dummy blkg_to_pd/pd_to_blkg() are provided, blkg_to_cfqg/cfqg_to_blkg() don't need to be ifdef'd.

* | blkcg: implement per-queue policy activationTejun Heo2012-04-201-21/+16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | All blkcg policies were assumed to be enabled on all request_queues. Due to various implementation obstacles, during the recent blkcg core updates, this was temporarily implemented as shooting down all !root blkgs on elevator switch and policy [de]registration combined with half-broken in-place root blkg updates. In addition to being buggy and racy, this meant losing all blkcg configurations across those events. Now that blkcg is cleaned up enough, this patch replaces the temporary implementation with proper per-queue policy activation. Each blkcg policy should call the new blkcg_[de]activate_policy() to enable and disable the policy on a specific queue. blkcg_activate_policy() allocates and installs policy data for the policy for all existing blkgs. blkcg_deactivate_policy() does the reverse. If a policy is not enabled for a given queue, blkg printing / config functions skip the respective blkg for the queue. blkcg_activate_policy() also takes care of root blkg creation, and cfq_init_queue() and blk_throtl_init() are updated accordingly. This replaces blkcg_bypass_{start|end}() and update_root_blkg_pd() unnecessary. Dropped. v2: cfq_init_queue() was returning uninitialized @ret on root_group alloc failure if !CONFIG_CFQ_GROUP_IOSCHED. Fixed.

For blk-throtl, this replaces throtl_data->root_tg; however, cfq needs to keep cfqd->root_group for !CONFIG_CFQ_GROUP_IOSCHED. This is to prepare for per-queue policy activation and doesn't cause any functional difference.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | As with conf/stats file handling code, there's no reason for stat update code to live in blkcg core with policies calling into update them. The current organization is both inflexible and complex. This patch moves stat update code to specific policies.

* | blkcg: move conf/stat file handling code to policiesTejun Heo2012-04-011-3/+199
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | blkcg conf/stat handling is convoluted in that details which belong to specific policy implementations are all out in blkcg core and then policies hook into core layer to access and manipulate confs and stats. This sadly achieves both inflexibility (confs/stats can't be modified without messing with blkcg core) and complexity (all the call-ins and call-backs). The previous patches restructured conf and stat handling code such that they can be separated out. This patch relocates the file handling part. All conf/stat file handling code which belongs to BLKIO_POLICY_PROP is moved to cfq-iosched.c and all BKLIO_POLICY_THROTL code to blk-throtl.c. The move is verbatim except for blkio_update_group_{weight|bps|iops}() callbacks which relays conf changes to policies. The configuration settings are handled in policies themselves so the relaying isn't necessary. Conf setting functions are modified to directly call per-policy update functions and the relaying mechanism is dropped. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org>

* | cfq: don't use icq_get_changed()Tejun Heo2012-03-201-23/+40
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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().

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Implement bio_blkio_cgroup() which returns the blkcg associated with the bio if exists or %current's blkcg, and use it in blk-throttle and cfq-iosched propio.

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.

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.

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.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

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 has list nodes for both policies. This patch only relocates the necessary fields and the next patch will actually move management code into blkcg core. 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. -v2: Now unnecessary conditional on CONFIG_BLK_CGROUP_MODULE removed as pointed out by Vivek.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

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).

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.

Make both use the usual blkio_group get functions - throtl_get_tg() and cfq_get_cfqg() - for the root blkio_group too. Note that blk_throtl_init() callsite is pushed downwards in blk_alloc_queue_node() so that @q is sufficiently initialized for throtl_get_tg(). This simplifies root blkg handling noticeably for cfq and will allow further modularization of blkcg API. -v2: Vivek pointed out that using cfq_get_cfqg() won't work if CONFIG_CFQ_GROUP_IOSCHED is disabled.

* | blkcg: move rcu_read_lock() outside of blkio_group get functionsTejun Heo2012-03-061-6/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | rcu_read_lock() in throtl_get_tb() and cfq_get_cfqg() holds onto @blkcg while looking up blkg. For API cleanup, the next patch will make the caller responsible for determining @blkcg to look blkg from and let them specify it as a parameter. Move rcu read locking out to the callers to prepare for the change. -v2: Originally this patch was described as a fix for RCU read locking bug around @blkg, which Vivek pointed out to be incorrect. It was from misunderstanding the role of rcu locking as protecting @blkg not @blkcg. Patch description updated.

* | blkcg: shoot down blkio_groups on elevator switchTejun Heo2012-03-061-1/+19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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. -v3: blkcg_clear_queue() repositioned and renamed to blkg_destroy_all() to increase consistency with later changes. cfq_clear_queue() updated to check q->elevator before dereferencing it to avoid NULL dereference on not fully initialized queues (used by later change).

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | elevator_ops->elevator_init_fn() has a weird return value. It returns a void * which the caller should assign to q->elevator->elevator_data and %NULL return denotes init failure. Update such that it returns integer 0/-errno and sets elevator_data directly as necessary. This makes the interface more conventional and eases further cleanup.

* | cfq: don't register propio policy if !CONFIG_CFQ_GROUP_IOSCHEDTejun Heo2012-03-061-3/+4
|/ | | | | | | | | | | cfq has been registering zeroed blkio_poilcy_cfq if CFQ_GROUP_IOSCHED is disabled. This fortunately doesn't collide with blk-throtl as BLKIO_POLICY_PROP is zero but is unnecessary and risky. Just don't register it if not enabled.

* block: don't call elevator callbacks for plug mergesTejun Heo2012-02-081-11/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

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.
