* block: discard bdi_unregister() in favour of bdi_destroy()NeilBrown2015-05-281-1/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | bdi_unregister() now contains very little functionality. It contains a "WARN_ON" if bdi->dev is NULL. This warning is of no real consequence as bdi->dev isn't needed by anything else in the function, and it triggers if blk_cleanup_queue() -> bdi_destroy() is called before bdi_unregister, which happens since Commit: 6cd18e711dd8 ("block: destroy bdi before blockdev is unregistered.") So this isn't wanted. It also calls bdi_set_min_ratio(). This needs to be called after writes through the bdi have all been flushed, and before the bdi is destroyed. Calling it early is better than calling it late as it frees up a global resource. Calling it immediately after bdi_wb_shutdown() in bdi_destroy() perfectly fits these requirements. So bdi_unregister() can be discarded with the important content moved to bdi_destroy(), as can the writeback_bdi_unregister event which is already not used.

* blk-mq: don't lose requests if a stopped queue restartsShaohua Li2015-05-041-0/+10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Normally if driver is busy to dispatch a request the logic is like below: block layer: driver: __blk_mq_run_hw_queue a. blk_mq_stop_hw_queue b. rq add to ctx->dispatch later: 1. blk_mq_start_hw_queue 2. __blk_mq_run_hw_queue But it's possible step 1-2 runs between a and b. And since rq isn't in ctx->dispatch yet, step 2 will not run rq. The rq might get lost if there are no subsequent requests kick in.

* block: destroy bdi before blockdev is unregistered.NeilBrown2015-04-272-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Because of the peculiar way that md devices are created (automatically when the device node is opened), a new device can be created and registered immediately after the blk_unregister_region(disk_devt(disk), disk->minors); call in del_gendisk(). Therefore it is important that all visible artifacts of the previous device are removed before this call. In particular, the 'bdi'. Since: commit c4db59d31e39ea067c32163ac961e9c80198fd37 Author: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de> fs: don't reassign dirty inodes to default_backing_dev_info moved the device_unregister(bdi->dev); call from bdi_unregister() to bdi_destroy() it has been quite easy to lose a race and have a new (e.g.) "md127" be created after the blk_unregister_region() call and before bdi_destroy() is ultimately called by the final 'put_disk', which must come after del_gendisk(). The new device finds that the bdi name is already registered in sysfs and complains > [ 9627.630029] WARNING: CPU: 18 PID: 3330 at fs/sysfs/dir.c:31 sysfs_warn_dup+0x5a/0x70() > [ 9627.630032] sysfs: cannot create duplicate filename '/devices/virtual/bdi/9:127' We can fix this by moving the bdi_destroy() call out of blk_release_queue() (which can happen very late when a refcount reaches zero) and into blk_cleanup_queue() - which happens exactly when the md device driver calls it. Then it is only necessary for md to call blk_cleanup_queue() before del_gendisk(). As loop.c devices are also created on demand by opening the device node, we make the same change there.

* blk-mq: fix CPU hotplug handlingMing Lei2015-04-231-21/+13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | hctx->tags has to be set as NULL in case that it is to be unmapped no matter if set->tags[hctx->queue_num] is NULL or not in blk_mq_map_swqueue() because shared tags can be freed already from another request queue. The same situation has to be considered during handling CPU online too. Unmapped hw queue can be remapped after CPU topo is changed, so we need to allocate tags for the hw queue in blk_mq_map_swqueue(). Then tags allocation for hw queue can be removed in hctx cpu online notifier, and it is reasonable to do that after mapping is updated.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Firstly during CPU hotplug, even queue is freezed, timeout handler still may come and access hctx->tags, which may cause use after free, so this patch deactivates timeout handler inside CPU hotplug notifier. Secondly, tags can be shared by more than one queues, so we have to check if the hctx has been unmapped, otherwise still use-after-free on tags can be triggered.

DM's approach to device creation requires a placeholder request_queue be allocated for use with alloc_dev() but the decision about what type of request_queue will be ultimately created is deferred until all component devices referenced in the DM table are processed to determine the table type (request-based, blk-mq request-based, or bio-based). Also, because of DM's late finalization of the request_queue type the call to blk_mq_register_disk() doesn't happen during alloc_dev(). Must export blk_mq_register_disk() so that DM can backfill the 'mq' dir once the blk-mq queue is fully allocated.

The sense_buffer pointer should have been initialized by the call to scsi_init_request() from blk_mq_init_rq_map(), but there seems to be some non-repeatable memory corruptor. This patch makes sure we initialize the whole struct request allocation (and the associated 'struct scsi_cmnd' for the SCSI case) to zero, by using __GFP_ZERO in the allocation. The old code initialized a couple of individual fields, leaving the rest undefined (although many of them are then initialized in later phases, like blk_mq_rq_ctx_init() etc. It's not entirely clear why this matters, but it's the rigth thing to do regardless, and with 4.0 imminent this is the defensive "let's just make sure everything is initialized properly" patch.

Fix this regression by establishing lcm_not_zero() and switching blk_stack_limits() over to using it. DM uses blk_set_stacking_limits() to establish the initial top-level queue_limits that are then built up based on underlying devices' limits using blk_stack_limits(). In the case of optimal_io_size (io_opt) blk_set_stacking_limits() establishes a default value of 0. With commit 69c953c, lcm(0, n) is no longer n, which compromises proper stacking of the underlying devices' io_opt.

| |/ |/| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When allocating from the reserved tags pool, bt_get() is called with a NULL hctx. If all tags are in use, the hw queue is kicked to push out any pending IO, potentially freeing tags, and tag allocation is retried. The problem is that blk_mq_run_hw_queue() doesn't check for a NULL hctx. So we avoid it with a simple NULL hctx test. Tested by hammering mtip32xx with concurrent smartctl/hdparm.

Otherwise, if REQ_MQ_INFLIGHT isn't set in the clone request the hctx->nr_active count won't get decremented via blk_mq_free_request(). The only consumer of blk_rq_prep_clone() is request-based DM, which uses blk_rq_init() prior to calling blk_rq_prep_clone() for the non-blk-mq case.

| |/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Prepare to allow blk_rq_prep_clone() to accept clone requests that were allocated from blk-mq request queues. As such the blk_rq_prep_clone() caller must first initialize the clone request.

| * blk-mq: add tag allocation policyShaohua Li2015-01-233-17/+29
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This is the blk-mq part to support tag allocation policy. The default allocation policy isn't changed (though it's not a strict FIFO). The new policy is round-robin for libata. But it's a try-best implementation. If multiple tasks are competing, the tags returned will be mixed (which is unavoidable even with !mq, as requests from different tasks can be mixed in queue) Cc: Jens Axboe <axboe@fb.com> Cc: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Cc: Christoph Hellwig <hch@infradead.org> Signed-off-by: Shaohua Li <shli@fb.com> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@fb.com>
| * block: support different tag allocation policyShaohua Li2015-01-231-8/+25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The libata tag allocation is using a round-robin policy. Next patch will make libata use block generic tag allocation, so let's add a policy to tag allocation. Currently two policies: FIFO (default) and round-robin.

| * block: Remove annoying "unknown partition table" messageBoaz Harrosh2015-01-221-6/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | As Christoph put it: Can we just get rid of the warnings? It's fairly annoying as devices without partitions are perfectly fine and very useful. Me too I see this message every VM boot for ages on all my devices. Would love to just remove it. For me a partition-table is only needed for a booting BIOS, grub, and stuff.

| * block: Add discard flag to blkdev_issue_zeroout() functionMartin K. Petersen2015-01-212-5/+27
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | blkdev_issue_discard() will zero a given block range. This is done by way of explicit writing, thus provisioning or allocating the blocks on disk. There are use cases where the desired behavior is to zero the blocks but unprovision them if possible. The blocks must deterministically contain zeroes when they are subsequently read back. This patch adds a flag to blkdev_issue_zeroout() that provides this variant. If the discard flag is set and a block device guarantees discard_zeroes_data we will use REQ_DISCARD to clear the block range. If the device does not support discard_zeroes_data or if the discard request fails we will fall back to first REQ_WRITE_SAME and then a regular REQ_WRITE. Also update the callers of blkdev_issue_zero() to reflect the new flag and make sb_issue_zeroout() prefer the discard approach. Signed-off-by: Martin K.
