BZ29402
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=29402We can hit serious mis-synchronization in bio completion path of
blkdev_issue_zeroout() leading to a panic.The problem is that when we are going to wait_for_completion() in
blkdev_issue_zeroout() we check if the bb.done equals issued (number of
submitted bios). If it does, we can skip the wait_for_completition()
and just out of the function since there is nothing to wait for.
However, there is a ordering problem because bio_batch_end_io() is
calling atomic_inc(&bb->done) before complete(), hence it might seem to
blkdev_issue_zeroout() that all bios has been completed and exit. At
this point when bio_batch_end_io() is going to call complete(bb->wait),
bb and wait does not longer exist since it was allocated on stack in
blkdev_issue_zeroout() ==> panic!(thread 1) (thread 2)
bio_batch_end_io() blkdev_issue_zeroout()
if(bb) { ...
if (bb->end_io) ...
bb->end_io(bio, err); ...
atomic_inc(&bb->done); ...
... while (issued != atomic_read(&bb.done))
... (let issued == bb.done)
... (do the rest of the function)
... return ret;
complete(bb->wait);
^^^^^^^^
panicWe can fix this easily by simplifying bio_batch and completion counting.
Also remove bio_end_io_t *end_io since it is not used.

blk-flush decomposes a flush into sequence of multiple requests. On
completion of a request, the next one is queued; however, block layer
must not implicitly call into q->request_fn() directly from completion
path. This makes the queue behave unexpectedly when seen from the
drivers and violates the assumption that q->request_fn() is called
with process context + queue_lock.This patch makes blk-flush the following two changes to make sure
q->request_fn() is not called directly from request completion path.- blk_flush_complete_seq_end_io() now asks __blk_run_queue() to always
use kblockd instead of calling directly into q->request_fn().- queue_next_fseq() uses ELEVATOR_INSERT_REQUEUE instead of
ELEVATOR_INSERT_FRONT so that elv_insert() doesn't try to unplug the
request queue directly.Reported by Jan in the following threads.

o Dominik Klein reported a system hang issue while doing some blkio
throttling testing.https://lkml.org/lkml/2011/2/24/173
o Some tracing revealed that CFQ was not dispatching any more jobs as
queue unplug was not happening. And queue unplug was not happening
because unplug work was not being called as there was one throttling
work on same cpu which as not finished yet. And throttling work had not
finished as it was tyring to dispatch a bio to CFQ but all the request
descriptors were consume to it was put to sleep.o So basically it is a cyclic dependecny between CFQ unplug work and
throtl dispatch work. Tejun suggested that use separate workqueue for
such cases.o This patch uses a separate workqueue for throttle related work and
does not rely on kblockd workqueue anymore.Cc: stable@kernel.org

Adam Kovari and others reported that disconnecting an USB drive with
an ntfs-3g filesystem would cause "kernel BUG at fs/inode.c:1421!" to
be triggered.The BUG could be traced back to ioctl(BLKBSZSET), which would
erroneously decrement the refcount on the bdev. This is because
blkdev_get() expects the refcount to be already incremented and either
returns success or decrements the refcount and returns an error.The bug was introduced by e525fd89 (block: make blkdev_get/put()
handle exclusive access), which didn't take into account this behavior
of blkdev_get().This fixes

There are two cases when we call flush_disk.
In one, the device has disappeared (check_disk_change) so any
data will hold becomes irrelevant.
In the oter, the device has changed size (check_disk_size_change)
so data we hold may be irrelevant.In both cases it makes sense to discard any 'clean' buffers,
so they will be read back from the device if needed.In the former case it makes sense to discard 'dirty' buffers
as there will never be anywhere safe to write the data. In the
second case it *does*not* make sense to discard dirty buffers
as that will lead to file system corruption when you simply enlarge
the containing devices.flush_disk calls __invalidate_devices.
__invalidate_device calls both invalidate_inodes and invalidate_bdev.invalidate_inodes *does* discard I_DIRTY inodes and this does lead
to fs corruption.invalidate_bev *does*not* discard dirty pages, but I don't really care
about that at present.So this patch adds a flag to __invalidate_device (calling it
__invalidate_device2) to indicate whether dirty buffers should be
killed, and this is passed to invalidate_inodes which can choose to
skip dirty inodes.flusk_disk then passes true from check_disk_change and false from
check_disk_size_change.dm avoids tripping over this problem by calling i_size_write directly
rathher than using check_disk_size_change.md does use check_disk_size_change and so is affected.
This regression was introduced by commit 608aeef17a which causes
check_disk_size_change to call flush_disk, so it is suitable for any
kernel since 2.6.27.Cc: stable@kernel.org

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.Cc: stable@kernel.org

The meaning of CONFIG_EMBEDDED has long since been obsoleted; the option
is used to configure any non-standard kernel with a much larger scope than
only small devices.This patch renames the option to CONFIG_EXPERT in init/Kconfig and fixes
references to the option throughout the kernel. A new CONFIG_EMBEDDED
option is added that automatically selects CONFIG_EXPERT when enabled and
can be used in the future to isolate options that should only be
considered for embedded systems (RISC architectures, SLOB, etc).Calling the option "EXPERT" more accurately represents its intention: only
expert users who understand the impact of the configuration changes they
are making should enable it.Reviewed-by: Ingo Molnar

o Jeff Moyer was doing some testing on a RAM backed disk and
blkiocg_lookup_group() showed up high overhead after memcpy(). Similarly
somebody else reported that blkiocg_lookup_group() is eating 6% extra
cpu. Though looking at the code I can't think why the overhead of
this function is so high. One thing is that it is called with very high
frequency (once for every IO).o For lot of folks blkio controller will be compiled in but they might
not have actually created cgroups. Hence optimize the case of root
cgroup where we can avoid calling blkiocg_lookup_group() if IO is happening
in root group (common case).Reported-by: Jeff Moyer

merged into a request belongs to different partition by ELEVATOR_FRONT_MERGE.The detailed root cause is as follows.
Assuming that there are two partition, sda1 and sda2.
1. A request for sda2 is in request_queue. Hence sda1's hd_struct->in_flight
is 0 and sda2's one is 1.| hd_struct->in_flight
---------------------------
sda1 | 0
sda2 | 1
---------------------------2. A bio belongs to sda1 is issued and is merged into the request mentioned on
step1 by ELEVATOR_BACK_MERGE. The first sector of the request is changed
from sda2 region to sda1 region. However the two partition's
hd_struct->in_flight are not changed.| hd_struct->in_flight
---------------------------
sda1 | 0
sda2 | 1
---------------------------3. The request is finished and blk_account_io_done() is called. In this case,
sda2's hd_struct->in_flight, not a sda1's one, is decremented.| hd_struct->in_flight
---------------------------
sda1 | -1
sda2 | 1
---------------------------The patch fixes the problem by caching the partition lookup
inside the request structure, hence making sure that the increment
and decrement will always happen on the same partition struct. This
also speeds up IO with accounting enabled, since it cuts down on
the number of lookups we have to do.Also add a refcount to struct hd_struct to keep the partition in
memory as long as users exist. We use kref_test_and_get() to ensure
we don't add a reference to a partition which is going away.Signed-off-by: Jerome Marchand

When stacking devices, a request_queue is not always available. This
forced us to have a no_cluster flag in the queue_limits that could be
used as a carrier until the request_queue had been set up for a
metadevice.There were several problems with that approach. First of all it was up
to the stacking device to remember to set queue flag after stacking had
completed. Also, the queue flag and the queue limits had to be kept in
sync at all times. We got that wrong, which could lead to us issuing
commands that went beyond the max scatterlist limit set by the driver.The proper fix is to avoid having two flags for tracking the same thing.
We deprecate QUEUE_FLAG_CLUSTER and use the queue limit directly in the
block layer merging functions. The queue_limit 'no_cluster' is turned
into 'cluster' to avoid double negatives and to ease stacking.
Clustering defaults to being enabled as before. The queue flag logic is
removed from the stacking function, and explicitly setting the cluster
flag is no longer necessary in DM and MD.Reported-by: Ed Lin

Currently, media presence polling for removeable block devices is done
from userland. There are several issues with this.* Polling is done by periodically opening the device. For SCSI
devices, the command sequence generated by such action involves a
few different commands including TEST_UNIT_READY. This behavior,
while perfectly legal, is different from Windows which only issues
single command, GET_EVENT_STATUS_NOTIFICATION. Unfortunately, some
ATAPI devices lock up after being periodically queried such command
sequences.* There is no reliable and unintrusive way for a userland program to
tell whether the target device is safe for media presence polling.
For example, polling for media presence during an on-going burning
session can make it fail. The polling program can avoid this by
opening the device with O_EXCL but then it risks making a valid
exclusive user of the device fail w/ -EBUSY.* Userland polling is unnecessarily heavy and in-kernel implementation
is lighter and better coordinated (workqueue, timer slack).This patch implements framework for in-kernel disk event handling,
which includes media presence polling.* bdops->check_events() is added, which supercedes ->media_changed().
It should check whether there's any pending event and return if so.
Currently, two events are defined - DISK_EVENT_MEDIA_CHANGE and
DISK_EVENT_EJECT_REQUEST. ->check_events() is guaranteed not to be
called parallelly.* gendisk->events and ->async_events are added. These should be
initialized by block driver before passing the device to add_disk().
The former contains the mask of all supported events and the latter
the mask of all events which the device can report without polling.
/sys/block/*/events[_async] export these to userland.* Kernel parameter block.events_dfl_poll_msecs controls the system
polling interval (default is 0 which means disable) and
/sys/block/*/events_poll_msecs control polling intervals for
individual devices (default is -1 meaning use system setting). Note
that if a device can report all supported events asynchronously and
its polling interval isn't explicitly set, the device won't be
polled regardless of the system polling interval.* If a device is opened exclusively with write access, event checking
is automatically disabled until all write exclusive accesses are
released.* There are event 'clearing' events. For example, both of currently
defined events are cleared after the device has been successfully
opened. This information is passed to ->check_events() callback
using @clearing argument as a hint.* Event checking is always performed from system_nrt_wq and timer
slack is set to 25% for polling.* Nothing changes for drivers which implement ->media_changed() but
not ->check_events(). Going forward, all drivers will be converted
to ->check_events() and ->media_change() will be dropped.Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo

o During some testing I did following and noticed throttling stops working.
- Put a very low limit on a cgroup, say 1 byte per second.
- Start some reads, this will set slice_end to a very high value.
- Change the limit to higher value say 1MB/s
- Now IO unthrottles and finishes as expected.
- Try to do the read again but IO is not limited to 1MB/s as expected.o What is happening.
- Initially low value of limit sets slice_end to a very high value.
- During updation of limit, slice_end is not being truncated.
- Very high value of slice_end leads to keeping the existing slice
valid for a very long time and new slice does not start.
- tg_may_dispatch() is called in blk_throtle_bio(), and trim_slice()
is not called in this path. So slice_start is some old value and
practically we are able to do huge amount of IO.o There are many ways it can be fixed. I have fixed it by trying to
adjust/cleanup slice_end in trim_slice(). Generally we extend slices if bio
is big and can't be dispatched in one slice. After dispatch of bio, readjust
the slice_end to make sure we don't end up with huge values.Signed-off-by: Vivek Goyal
