* cfq-iosched: fix locking around ioc->ioc_data assignmentJens Axboe2011-06-061-1/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Since we are modifying this RCU pointer, we need to hold the lock protecting it around it. This fixes a potential reuse and double free of a cfq io_context structure. The bug has been in CFQ for a long time, it hit very few people but those it did hit seemed to see it a lot. Tracked in RH bugzilla here: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=577968 Credit goes to Paul Bolle for figuring out that the issue was around the one-hit ioc->ioc_data cache. Thanks to his hard work the issue is now fixed. Cc: stable@kernel.org Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jaxboe@fusionio.com>

* blk-throttle: Make dispatch stats per cpuVivek Goyal2011-05-201-1/+17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently we take blkg_stat lock for even updating the stats. So even if a group has no throttling rules (common case for root group), we end up taking blkg_lock, for updating the stats. Make dispatch stats per cpu so that these can be updated without taking blkg lock. If cpu goes offline, these stats simply disappear. No protection has been provided for that yet.

* blk-cgroup: Allow sleeping while dynamically allocating a groupVivek Goyal2011-05-201-33/+95
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently, all the cfq_group or throtl_group allocations happen while we are holding ->queue_lock and sleeping is not allowed. Soon, we will move to per cpu stats and also need to allocate the per group stats. As one can not call alloc_percpu() from atomic context as it can sleep, we need to drop ->queue_lock, allocate the group, retake the lock and continue processing. In throttling code, I check the queue DEAD flag again to make sure that driver did not call blk_cleanup_queue() in the mean time.

* cfq-iosched: Fix a possible race with cfq cgroup removal codeVivek Goyal2011-05-201-12/+36
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

* blk-throttle: Use task_subsys_state() to determine a task's blkio_cgroupVivek Goyal2011-05-161-6/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currentlly we first map the task to cgroup and then cgroup to blkio_cgroup. There is a more direct way to get to blkio_cgroup from task using task_subsys_state(). Use that. The real reason for the fix is that it also avoids a race in generic cgroup code. During remount/umount rebind_subsystems() is called and it can do following with and rcu protection. cgrp->subsys[i] = NULL; That means if somebody got hold of cgroup under rcu and then it tried to do cgroup->subsys[] to get to blkio_cgroup, it would get NULL which is wrong. I was running into this race condition with ltp running on a upstream derived kernel and that lead to crash. So ideally we should also fix cgroup generic code to wait for rcu grace period before setting pointer to NULL. Li Zefan is not very keen on introducing synchronize_wait() as he thinks it will slow down moun/remount/umount operations. So for the time being atleast fix the kernel crash by taking a more direct route to blkio_cgroup. One tester had reported a crash while running LTP on a derived kernel and with this fix crash is no more seen while the test has been running for over 6 days.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | For v2, I added back lines to cfq_preempt_queue() that were removed during updates for accounting unaccounted_time. Thanks for pointing out that I'd missed these, Vivek. Previous commit "cfq-iosched: Don't set active queue in preempt" wrongly cleared stats for preempting queues when it shouldn't have, because when we choose a queue to preempt, it still isn't necessarily scheduled next.

* cfq-iosched: Don't update group weights when on service treeJustin TerAvest2011-03-171-12/+41
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Version 3 is updated to apply to for-2.6.39/core. For version 2, I took Vivek's advice and made sure we update the group weight from cfq_group_service_tree_add(). If a weight was updated while a group is on the service tree, the calculation for the total weight of the service tree can be adjusted improperly, which either leads to bad service tree weights, or potentially crashes (if total_weight becomes 0). This patch defers updates to the weight until a group is off the service tree.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If there are a sync and an async queue and the sync queue's think time is small, we can ignore the sync queue's dispatch quantum. Because the sync queue will always preempt the async queue, we don't need to care about async's latency. This can fix a performance regression of aiostress test, which is introduced by commit f8ae6e3eb825. The issue should exist even without the commit, but the commit amplifies the impact. The initial post does the same optimization for RT queue too, but since I have no real workload for it, Vivek suggests to drop it.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Commit 7667aa0630407bc07dc38dcc79d29cc0a65553c1 added logic to wait for the last queue of the group to become busy (have at least one request), so that the group does not lose out for not being continuously backlogged. The commit did not check for the condition that the last queue already has some requests. As a result, if the queue already has requests, wait_busy is set. Later on, cfq_select_queue() checks the flag, and decides that since the queue has a request now and wait_busy is set, the queue is expired. This results in early expiration of the queue. This patch fixes the problem by adding a check to see if queue already has requests. If it does, wait_busy is not set. As a result, time slices do not expire early. The queues with more than one request are usually buffered writers. Testing shows improvement in isolation between buffered writers.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When a cfq group is running, it won't be dequeued from service tree, so there's no need to store the active one in st->active.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Vivek suggests we don't need schedule a dispatch when an idle queue becomes nonidle. And he is right, cfq_should_preempt already covers the logic. Signed-off-by: Shaohua Li <shaohua.li@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jaxboe@fusionio.com>
| | * | cfq-iosched: don't idle if a deep seek queue is slowShaohua Li2010-11-081-0/+11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If a deep seek queue slowly deliver requests but disk is much faster, idle for the queue just wastes disk throughput. If the queue delevers all requests before half its slice is used, the patch disable idle for it. In my test, application delivers 32 requests one time, the disk can accept 128 requests at maxium and disk is fast. without the patch, the throughput is just around 30m/s, while with it, the speed is about 80m/s. The disk is a SSD, but is detected as a rotational disk. I can configure it as SSD, but I thought the deep seek queue logic should be fixed too, for example, considering a fast raid.

| | * | cfq-iosched: schedule dispatch for noidle queueShaohua Li2010-11-081-1/+22
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | A queue is idle at cfq_dispatch_requests(), but it gets noidle later. Unless other task explictly does unplug or all requests are drained, we will not deliever requests to the disk even cfq_arm_slice_timer doesn't make the queue idle. For example, cfq_should_idle() returns true because of service_tree->count == 1, and then other queues are added. Note, I didn't see obvious performance impacts so far with the patch, but just thought this could be a problem.
