After merging the iolatency policy, we potentially now have 4 policies
being registered, but only support 3. This causes one of them to fail
loading. Takashi reports that BFQ no longer works for him, because it
fails to load due to policy registration failure.Bump to 5 policies, and also add a warning for when we have exceeded
the global amount. If we have to touch this again, we should switch
to a dynamic scheme instead.Reported-by: Takashi Iwai

Currently, blkcg destruction relies on a sequence of events:
1. Destruction starts. blkcg_css_offline() is called and blkgs
release their reference to the blkcg. This immediately destroys
the cgwbs (writeback).
2. With blkgs giving up their reference, the blkcg ref count should
become zero and eventually call blkcg_css_free() which finally
frees the blkcg.Jiufei Xue reported that there is a race between blkcg_bio_issue_check()
and cgroup_rmdir(). To remedy this, blkg destruction becomes contingent
on the completion of all writeback associated with the blkcg. A count of
the number of cgwbs is maintained and once that goes to zero, blkg
destruction can follow. This should prevent premature blkg destruction
related to writeback.The new process for blkcg cleanup is as follows:
1. Destruction starts. blkcg_css_offline() is called which offlines
writeback. Blkg destruction is delayed on the cgwb_refcnt count to
avoid punting potentially large amounts of outstanding writeback
to root while maintaining any ongoing policies. Here, the base
cgwb_refcnt is put back.
2. When the cgwb_refcnt becomes zero, blkcg_destroy_blkgs() is called
and handles destruction of blkgs. This is where the css reference
held by each blkg is released.
3. Once the blkcg ref count goes to zero, blkcg_css_free() is called.
This finally frees the blkg.It seems in the past blk-throttle didn't do the most understandable
things with taking data from a blkg while associating with current. So,
the simplification and unification of what blk-throttle is doing caused
this.Fixes: 08e18eab0c579 ("block: add bi_blkg to the bio for cgroups")

This reverts commit 4c6994806f708559c2812b73501406e21ae5dcd0.
Destroying blkgs is tricky because of the nature of the relationship. A
blkg should go away when either a blkcg or a request_queue goes away.
However, blkg's pin the blkcg to ensure they remain valid. To break this
cycle, when a blkcg is offlined, blkgs put back their css ref. This
eventually lets css_free() get called which frees the blkcg.The above commit (4c6994806f70) breaks this order of events by trying to
destroy blkgs in css_free(). As the blkgs still hold references to the
blkcg, css_free() is never called.The race between blkcg_bio_issue_check() and cgroup_rmdir() will be
addressed in the following patch by delaying destruction of a blkg until
all writeback associated with the blkcg has been finished.Fixes: 4c6994806f70 ("blk-throttle: fix race between blkcg_bio_issue_check() and cgroup_rmdir()")

Current IO controllers for the block layer are less than ideal for our
use case. The io.max controller is great at hard limiting, but it is
not work conserving. This patch introduces io.latency. You provide a
latency target for your group and we monitor the io in short windows to
make sure we are not exceeding those latency targets. This makes use of
the rq-qos infrastructure and works much like the wbt stuff. There are
a few differences from wbt- It's bio based, so the latency covers the whole block layer in addition to
the actual io.
- We will throttle all IO types that comes in here if we need to.
- We use the mean latency over the 100ms window. This is because writes can
be particularly fast, which could give us a false sense of the impact of
other workloads on our protected workload.
- By default there's no throttling, we set the queue_depth to INT_MAX so that
we can have as many outstanding bio's as we're allowed to. Only at
throttle time do we pay attention to the actual queue depth.
- We backcharge cgroups for root cg issued IO and induce artificial
delays in order to deal with cases like metadata only or swap heavy
workloads.In testing this has worked out relatively well. Protected workloads
will throttle noisy workloads down to 1 io at time if they are doing
normal IO on their own, or induce up to a 1 second delay per syscall if
they are doing a lot of root issued IO (metadata/swap IO).Our testing has revolved mostly around our production web servers where
we have hhvm (the web server application) in a protected group and
everything else in another group. We see slightly higher requests per
second (RPS) on the test tier vs the control tier, and much more stable
RPS across all machines in the test tier vs the control tier.Another test we run is a slow memory allocator in the unprotected group.
Before this would eventually push us into swap and cause the whole box
to die and not recover at all. With these patches we see slight RPS
drops (usually 10-15%) before the memory consumer is properly killed and
things recover within seconds.Signed-off-by: Josef Bacik

Since IO can be issued from literally anywhere it's almost impossible to
do throttling without having some sort of adverse effect somewhere else
in the system because of locking or other dependencies. The best way to
solve this is to do the throttling when we know we aren't holding any
other kernel resources. Do this by tracking throttling in a per-blkg
basis, and if we require throttling flag the task that it needs to check
before it returns to user space and possibly sleep there.This is to address the case where a process is doing work that is
generating IO that can't be throttled, whether that is directly with a
lot of REQ_META IO, or indirectly by allocating so much memory that it
is swamping the disk with REQ_SWAP. We can't use task_add_work as we
don't want to induce a memory allocation in the IO path, so simply
saving the request queue in the task and flagging it to do the
notify_resume thing achieves the same result without the overhead of a
memory allocation.Signed-off-by: Josef Bacik

*Update of each blkg is protected by both queue and blkcg locks so
that holding either lock and testing blkcg_policy_enabled() is
always enough for dereferencing policy data.*
with queue lock held, there is no need to hold blkcg lock in
blkcg_deactivate_policy(). Similar case is in

We've triggered a WARNING in blk_throtl_bio() when throttling writeback
io, which complains blkg->refcnt is already 0 when calling blkg_get(),
and then kernel crashes with invalid page request.
After investigating this issue, we've found it is caused by a race
between blkcg_bio_issue_check() and cgroup_rmdir(), which is described
below:writeback kworker cgroup_rmdir
cgroup_destroy_locked
kill_css
css_killed_ref_fn
css_killed_work_fn
offline_css
blkcg_css_offline
blkcg_bio_issue_check
rcu_read_lock
blkg_lookup
spin_trylock(q->queue_lock)
blkg_destroy
spin_unlock(q->queue_lock)
blk_throtl_bio
spin_lock_irq(q->queue_lock)
...
spin_unlock_irq(q->queue_lock)
rcu_read_unlockSince rcu can only prevent blkg from releasing when it is being used,
the blkg->refcnt can be decreased to 0 during blkg_destroy() and schedule
blkg release.
Then trying to blkg_get() in blk_throtl_bio() will complains the WARNING.
And then the corresponding blkg_put() will schedule blkg release again,
which result in double free.
This race is introduced by commit ae1188963611 ("blkcg: consolidate blkg
creation in blkcg_bio_issue_check()"). Before this commit, it will
lookup first and then try to lookup/create again with queue_lock. Since
revive this logic is a bit drastic, so fix it by only offlining pd during
blkcg_css_offline(), and move the rest destruction (especially
blkg_put()) into blkcg_css_free(), which should be the right way as
discussed.Fixes: ae1188963611 ("blkcg: consolidate blkg creation in blkcg_bio_issue_check()")

get_disk(),get_gendisk() calls have non explicit side effect: they
increase the reference on the disk owner module.The following is the correct sequence how to get a disk reference and
to put it:disk = get_gendisk(...);
/* use disk */
owner = disk->fops->owner;
put_disk(disk);
module_put(owner);fs/block_dev.c is aware of this required module_put() call, but f.e.
blkg_conf_finish(), which is located in block/blk-cgroup.c, does not put
a module reference. To see a leakage in action cgroups throttle config
can be used. In the following script I'm removing throttle for /dev/ram0
(actually this is NOP, because throttle was never set for this device):# lsmod | grep brd
brd 5175 0
# i=100; while [ $i -gt 0 ]; do echo "1:0 0" > \
/sys/fs/cgroup/blkio/blkio.throttle.read_bps_device; i=$(($i - 1)); \
done
# lsmod | grep brd
brd 5175 100Now brd module has 100 references.
The issue is fixed by calling module_put() just right away put_disk().

Consider the following v2 hierarchy.
P0 (+memory) --- P1 (-memory) --- A
\- BP0 has memory enabled in its subtree_control while P1 doesn't. If
both A and B contain processes, they would belong to the memory css of
P1. Now if memory is enabled on P1's subtree_control, memory csses
should be created on both A and B and A's processes should be moved to
the former and B's processes the latter. IOW, enabling controllers
can cause atomic migrations into different csses.The core cgroup migration logic has been updated accordingly but the
controller migration methods haven't and still assume that all tasks
migrate to a single target css; furthermore, the methods were fed the
css in which subtree_control was updated which is the parent of the
target csses. pids controller depends on the migration methods to
move charges and this made the controller attribute charges to the
wrong csses often triggering the following warning by driving a
counter negative.WARNING: CPU: 1 PID: 1 at kernel/cgroup_pids.c:97 pids_cancel.constprop.6+0x31/0x40()

is obtained.* memory migration path already doesn't do anything on v2. How the
single destination css is obtained is updated and the prep stage of
mem_cgroup_can_attach() is reordered to accomodate the change.* pids is the only controller which was affected by this bug. It now
correctly handles multi-destination migrations and no longer causes
counter underflow from incorrect accounting.Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo

Pull cgroup updates from Tejun Heo:
"The cgroup core saw several significant updates this cycle:- percpu_rwsem for threadgroup locking is reinstated. This was
temporarily dropped due to down_write latency issues. Oleg's
rework of percpu_rwsem which is scheduled to be merged in this
merge window resolves the issue.- On the v2 hierarchy, when controllers are enabled and disabled, all
operations are atomic and can fail and revert cleanly. This allows
->can_attach() failure which is necessary for cpu RT slices.- Tasks now stay associated with the original cgroups after exit
until released. This allows tracking resources held by zombies
(e.g. pids) and makes it easy to find out where zombies came from
on the v2 hierarchy. The pids controller was broken before these
changes as zombies escaped the limits; unfortunately, updating this
behavior required too many invasive changes and I don't think it's
a good idea to backport them, so the pids controller on 4.3, the
first version which included the pids controller, will stay broken
at least until I'm sure about the cgroup core changes.- Optimization of a couple common tests using static_key"

The stat files on the root cgroup shows stats for the whole system and
usually don't contain any information which isn't available through
the usual system monitoring mechanisms. Some controllers skip
collecting these duplicate stats to optimize cases where cgroup isn't
used and later try to emulate the result on demand.This leads to complexities and subtle differences in the information
shown through different channels. This is entirely unnecessary and
cgroup v2 is dropping stat files which are duplicate from all
controllers. This patch removes "io.stat" from the root hierarchy.Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo

"This is a bit bigger than it should be, but I could (did) not want to
send it off last week due to both wanting extra testing, and expecting
a fix for the bounce regression as well. In any case, this contains:- Fix for the blk-merge.c compilation warning on gcc 5.x from me.
- A set of back/front SG gap merge fixes, from me and from Sagi.
This ensures that we honor SG gapping for integrity payloads as
well.- Two small fixes for null_blk from Matias, fixing a leak and a
capacity propagation issue.- A blkcg fix from Tejun, fixing a NULL dereference.
- A fast clone optimization from Ming, fixing a performance
regression since the arbitrarily sized bio's were introduced.- Also from Ming, a regression fix for bouncing IOs"

While making the root blkg unconditional, ec13b1d6f0a0 ("blkcg: always
create the blkcg_gq for the root blkcg") removed the part which clears
q->root_blkg and ->root_rl.blkg during q exit. This leaves the two
pointers dangling after blkg_destroy_all(). blk-throttle exit path
performs blkg traversals and dereferences ->root_blkg and can lead to
the following oops.BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000558

cgroup is trying to make interface consistent across different
controllers. For weight based resource control, the knob should have
the range [1, 10000] and default to 100. This patch updates
cfq-iosched so that the weight range conforms. The internal
calculations have enough range and the widening of the weight range
shouldn't cause any problem.* blkcg_policy->cpd_bind_fn() is added. If present, this is invoked
when blkcg is attached to a hierarchy.* cfq_cpd_init() is updated to use the new default value on the
unified hierarchy.* cfq_cpd_bind() callback is implemented to clear per-blkg configs and
apply the default config matching the hierarchy type.* cfqd->root_group->[leaf_]weight initialization in cfq_init_queue()
is moved into !CONFIG_CFQ_GROUP_IOSCHED block. cfq_cpd_bind() is
now responsible for initializing the initial weights when blkcg is
enabled.Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo

blkcg interface grew to be the biggest of all controllers and
unfortunately most inconsistent too. The interface files are
inconsistent with a number of cloes duplicates. Some files have
recursive variants while others don't. There's distinction between
normal and leaf weights which isn't intuitive and there are a lot of
stat knobs which don't make much sense outside of debugging and expose
too much implementation details to userland.In the unified hierarchy, everything is always hierarchical and
internal nodes can't have tasks rendering the two structural issues
twisting the current interface. The interface has to be updated in a
significant anyway and this is a good chance to revamp it as a whole.
This patch implements blkcg interface for the unified hierarchy.* (from a previous patch) blkcg is identified by "io" instead of
"blkio" on the unified hierarchy. Given that the whole interface is
updated anyway, the rename shouldn't carry noticeable conversion
overhead.* The original interface consisted of 27 files is replaced with the
following three files.blkio.stat : per-blkcg stats
blkio.weight : per-cgroup and per-cgroup-queue weight settings
blkio.max : per-cgroup-queue bps and iops max limitsDocumentation/cgroups/unified-hierarchy.txt updated accordingly.
v2: blkcg_policy->dfl_cftypes wasn't removed on
blkcg_policy_unregister() corrupting the cftypes list. Fixed.Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo

Currently, blkg_conf_prep() expects input to be of the following form
MAJ:MIN NUM
and reads the NUM part into blkg_conf_ctx->v. This is quite
restrictive and gets in the way in implementing blkcg interface for
the unified hierarchy. This patch updates blkg_conf_prep() so that it
expectsMAJ:MIN BODY_STR
where BODY_STR is an arbitrary string. blkg_conf_ctx->v is replaced
with ->body which is a char pointer pointing to the start of BODY_STR.
Parsing of the body is moved to blkg_conf_prep()'s callers.To allow using, for example, strsep() on blkg_conf_ctx->val, it is a
non-const pointer and to accommodate that const is dropped from @input
too.This doesn't cause any behavior changes.

blkcg is about to grow interface for the unified hierarchy. Add
legacy to existing cftypes.* blkcg_policy->cftypes -> blkcg_policy->legacy_cftypes
* blk-cgroup.c:blkcg_files -> blkcg_legacy_files
* cfq-iosched.c:cfq_blkcg_files -> cfq_blkcg_legacy_files
* blk-throttle.c:throtl_files -> throtl_legacy_filesPure renames. No functional change.
