Pull blk-cg updates from Jens Axboe:
"A bit later in the cycle, but this has been in the block tree for a a
while. This is basically four patchsets from Tejun, that improve our
buffered cgroup writeback. It was dependent on the other cgroup
changes, but they went in earlier in this cycle.Series 1 is set of 5 patches that has cgroup writeback updates:
- bdi_writeback iteration fix which could lead to some wb's being
skipped or repeated during e.g. sync under memory pressure.- Simplification of wb work wait mechanism.
- Writeback tracepoints updated to report cgroup.
Series 2 is is a set of updates for the CFQ cgroup writeback handling:
cfq has always charged all async IOs to the root cgroup. It didn't
have much choice as writeback didn't know about cgroups and there
was no way to tell who to blame for a given writeback IO.
writeback finally grew support for cgroups and now tags each
writeback IO with the appropriate cgroup to charge it against.This patchset updates cfq so that it follows the blkcg each bio is
tagged with. Async cfq_queues are now shared across cfq_group,
which is per-cgroup, instead of per-request_queue cfq_data. This
makes all IOs follow the weight based IO resource distribution
implemented by cfq.- Switched from GFP_ATOMIC to GFP_NOWAIT as suggested by Jeff.
- Other misc review points addressed, acks added and rebased.
Series 3 is the blkcg policy cleanup patches:
This patchset contains assorted cleanups for blkcg_policy methods
and blk[c]g_policy_data handling.- alloc/free added for blkg_policy_data. exit dropped.
- alloc/free added for blkcg_policy_data.
- blk-throttle's async percpu allocation is replaced with direct
allocation.- all methods now take blk[c]g_policy_data instead of blkcg_gq or
blkcg.And finally, series 4 is a set of patches cleaning up the blkcg stats
handling:blkcg's stats have always been somwhat of a mess. This patchset
tries to improve the situation a bit.- The following patches added to consolidate blkcg entry point and
blkg creation. This is in itself is an improvement and helps
colllecting common stats on bio issue.- per-blkg stats now accounted on bio issue rather than request
completion so that bio based and request based drivers can behave
the same way. The issue was spotted by Vivek.- cfq-iosched implements custom recursive stats and blk-throttle
implements custom per-cpu stats. This patchset make blkcg core
support both by default.- cfq-iosched and blk-throttle keep track of the same stats
multiple times. Unify them"* 'for-4.3/blkcg' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux-block: (45 commits)

The SG_GAPS queue flag caused checks for bio vector alignment against
PAGE_SIZE, but the device may have different constraints. This patch
adds a queue limits so a driver with such constraints can set to allow
requests that would have been unnecessarily split. The new gaps check
takes the request_queue as a parameter to simplify the logic around
invoking this function.This new limit makes the queue flag redundant, so removing it and
all usage. Device-mappers will inherit the correct settings through
blk_stack_limits().Signed-off-by: Keith Busch

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

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.

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.

blkio interface has become messy over time and is currently the
largest. In addition to the inconsistent naming scheme, it has
multiple stat files which report more or less the same thing, a number
of debug stat files which expose internal details which shouldn't have
been part of the public interface in the first place, recursive and
non-recursive stats and leaf and non-leaf knobs.Both recursive vs. non-recursive and leaf vs. non-leaf distinctions
don't make any sense on the unified hierarchy as only leaf cgroups can
contain processes. cgroups is going through a major interface
revision with the unified hierarchy involving significant fundamental
usage changes and given that a significant portion of the interface
doesn't make sense anymore, it's a good time to reorganize the
interface.As the first step, this patch renames the external visible subsystem
name from "blkio" to "io". This is more concise, matches the other
two major subsystem names, "cpu" and "memory", and better suited as
blkcg will be involved in anything writeback related too whether an
actual block device is involved or not.As the subsystem legacy_name is set to "blkio", the only userland
visible change outside the unified hierarchy is that blkcg is reported
as "io" instead of "blkio" in the subsystem initialized message during
boot. On the unified hierarchy, blkcg now appears as "io".Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo

cfq_stats->sectors is a blkg_stat which keeps track of the total
number of sectors serviced; however, this can be trivially calculated

READs and WRITEs and then dividing by sector size.Remove cfqg_stats->sectors and make cfq print "sectors" and

Currently, both cfq-iosched and blk-throttle keep track of
io_service_bytes and io_serviced stats. While keeping track of them
separately may be useful during development, it doesn't make much
sense otherwise. Also, blk-throttle was counting bio's as IOs while
cfq-iosched request's, which is more confusing than informative.This patch adds ->stat_bytes and ->stat_ios to blkg (blkcg_gq),
removes the counterparts from cfq-iosched and blk-throttle and let
them print from the common blkg counters. The common counters are
incremented during bio issue in blkcg_bio_issue_check().The outputs are still filtered by whether the policy has
blkg_policy_data on a given blkg, so cfq's output won't show up if it
has never been used for a given blkg. The only times when the outputs
would differ significantly are when policies are attached on the fly
or elevators are switched back and forth. Those are quite exceptional
operations and I don't think they warrant keeping separate counters.v3: Update blkio-controller.txt accordingly.

blkcg_[rw]stat are used as stat counters for blkcg policies. It isn't

cgroup stats are local to each cgroup and doesn't propagate to
ancestors by default. When recursive stats are necessary, the sum is
calculated over all the descendants. This initially was for backward
compatibility to support both group-local and recursive stats but this
mode of operation makes general sense as stat update is much hotter
thafn reporting those stats.This however ends up losing recursive stats when a child is removed.
To work around this, cfq-iosched adds its stats to its parent
cfq_group->dead_stats which is summed up together when calculating
recursive stats.It's planned that the core stats will be moved to blkcg_gq, so we want
to move the mechanism for keeping track of the stats of dead children
from cfq to blkcg core. This patch adds blkg_[rw]stat->aux_cnt which
are atomic64_t's keeping track of auxiliary counts which are excluded
when reading local counts but included for recursive.blkg_[rw]stat_merge() which were used by cfq to implement dead_stats
are replaced by blkg_[rw]stat_add_aux(), and cfq now forwards stats of
a dead cgroup to the aux counts of parent->stats instead of separate
->dead_stats.This will also help making blkg_[rw]stats per-cpu.

blkg (blkcg_gq) currently is created by blkcg policies invoking
blkg_lookup_create() which ends up repeating about the same code in
different policies. Theoretically, this can avoid the overhead of
looking and/or creating blkg's if blkcg is enabled but no policy is in
use; however, the cost of blkg lookup / creation is very low
especially if only the root blkcg is in use which is highly likely if
no blkcg policy is in active use - it boils down to a single very
predictable conditional and surrounding RCU protection.This patch consolidates blkg creation to a new function
blkcg_bio_issue_check() which is called during bio issue from
generic_make_request_checks(). blkcg_bio_issue_check() is now the
only function which tries to create missing blkg's. The subsequent
policy and request_list operations just perform blkg_lookup() and if
missing falls back to the root.* blk_get_rl() no longer tries to create blkg. It uses blkg_lookup()
instead of blkg_lookup_create().* blk_throtl_bio() is now called from blkcg_bio_issue_check() with rcu
read locked and blkg already looked up. Both throtl_lookup_tg() and
throtl_lookup_create_tg() are dropped.* cfq is similarly updated. cfq_lookup_create_cfqg() is replaced with
cfq_lookup_cfqg()which uses blkg_lookup().This consolidates blkg handling and avoids unnecessary blkg creation
retries under memory pressure. In addition, this provides a common
bio entry point into blkcg where things like common accounting can be
performed.v2: Build fixes for !CONFIG_CFQ_GROUP_IOSCHED and

A blkg (blkcg_gq) represents the relationship between a cgroup and
request_queue. Each active policy has a pd (blkg_policy_data) on each
blkg. The pd's were allocated by blkcg core and each policy could
request to allocate extra space at the end by setting
blkcg_policy->pd_size larger than the size of pd.This is a bit unusual but was done this way mostly to simplify error
handling and all the existing use cases could be handled this way;
however, this is becoming too restrictive now that percpu memory can
be allocated without blocking.This introduces two new mandatory blkcg_policy methods - pd_alloc_fn()
and pd_free_fn() - which are used to allocate and release pd for a
given policy. As pd allocation is now done from policy side, it can
simply allocate a larger area which embeds pd at the beginning. This
change makes ->pd_size pointless. Removed.Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo

blkg_create() allows NULL ->pd_init_fn() but blkcg_activate_policy()
doesn't. As both in-kernel policies implement ->pd_init_fn, it
currently doesn't break anything. Update blkcg_activate_policy() so
that its behavior is consistent with blkg_create().Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo

When a policy gets activated, it needs to allocate and install its
policy data on all existing blkg's (blkcg_gq's). Because blkg
iteration is protected by a spinlock, it currently counts the total
number of blkg's in the system, allocates the matching number of
policy data on a list and installs them during a single iteration.This can be simplified by using speculative GFP_NOWAIT allocations
while iterating and falling back to a preallocated policy data on
failure. If the preallocated one has already been consumed, it
releases the lock, preallocate with GFP_KERNEL and then restarts the
iteration. This can be a bit more expensive than before but policy
activation is a very cold path and shouldn't matter.Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo

blkcg_css_alloc() bypasses policy data allocation and blkcg_css_free()
bypasses policy data and blkcg freeing for blkcg_root. There's no
reason to to treat policy data any differently for blkcg_root. If the
root css gets allocated after policies are registered, policy
registration path will add policy data; otherwise, the alloc path
will. The free path isn't never invoked for root csses.This patch removes the unnecessary special handling of blkcg_root from
css_alloc/free paths.Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo

When blkcg_init_queue() fails midway after creating a new blkg, it
performs kfree() directly; however, this doesn't free the policy data
areas. Make it use blkg_free() instead. In turn, blkg_free() is
updated to handle root request_list special case.While this fixes a possible memory leak, it's on an unlikely failure
path of an already cold path and the size leaked per occurrence is
miniscule too. I don't think it needs to be tagged for -stable.Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo

Up until now, all async IOs were queued to async queues which are
shared across the whole request_queue, which means that blkcg resource
control is completely void on async IOs including all writeback IOs.
It was done this way because writeback didn't support writeback and
there was no way of telling which writeback IO belonged to which
cgroup; however, writeback recently became cgroup aware and writeback
bio's are sent down properly tagged with the blkcg's to charge them
against.This patch makes async cfq_queues per-cfq_cgroup instead of
per-cfq_data so that each async IO is charged to the blkcg that it was
tagged for instead of unconditionally attributing it to root.* cfq_data->async_cfqq and ->async_idle_cfqq are moved to cfq_group
and alloc / destroy paths are updated accordingly.* cfq_link_cfqq_cfqg() no longer overrides @cfqg to root for async
queues.* check_blkcg_changed() now also invalidates async queues as they no
longer stay the same across cgroups.After this patch, cfq's proportional IO control through blkio.weight
works correctly when cgroup writeback is in use.Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo

cfq_find_alloc_queue() checks whether a queue actually needs to be
allocated, which is unnecessary as its sole caller, cfq_get_queue(),
only calls it if so. Also, the oom queue fallback logic is scattered
between cfq_get_queue() and cfq_find_alloc_queue(). There really
isn't much going on in the latter and things can be made simpler by
folding it into cfq_get_queue().This patch collapses cfq_find_alloc_queue() into cfq_get_queue(). The
change is fairly straight-forward with one exception - async_cfqq is
now initialized to NULL and the "!is_sync" test in the last if
conditional is replaced with "async_cfqq" test. This is because gcc
(5.1.1) gets confused for some reason and warns that async_cfqq may be
used uninitialized otherwise. Oh well, the code isn't necessarily
worse this way.This patch doesn't cause any functional difference.

This is necessary for making async cfq_cgroups per-cfq_group instead
of per-cfq_data. While this change makes cfq_get_queue() perform RCU
locking and look up cfq_group even when it reuses async queue, the
extra overhead is extremely unlikely to be noticeable given that this
is already sitting behind cic->cfqq[] cache and the overall cost of
cfq operation.Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo

Even when allocations fail, cfq_find_alloc_queue() always returns a
valid cfq_queue by falling back to the oom cfq_queue. As such, there
isn't much point in taking @gfp_mask and trying "harder" if __GFP_WAIT
is set. GFP_NOWAIT allocations don't fail often and even when they do
the degraded behavior is acceptable and temporary.After all, the only reason get_request(), which ultimately determines
the gfp_mask, cares about __GFP_WAIT is to guarantee request
allocation, assuming IO forward progress, for callers which are
willing to wait. There's no reason for cfq_find_alloc_queue() to
behave differently on __GFP_WAIT when it already has a fallback
mechanism.Remove @gfp_mask from cfq_find_alloc_queue() and propagate the changes
to its callers. This simplifies the function quite a bit and will
help making async queues per-cfq_group.v2: Updated to reflect GFP_ATOMIC -> GPF_NOWAIT.
