blk-iolatency: fix IO hang due to negative inflight counter

Our test reported the following stack, and vmcore showed that ->inflight counter is -1.

Note that quiesce_queue is not needed as this only updating iolatency configuration about which dispatching request_queue doesn't care. Signed-off-by: Liu Bo Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe

block: fix blk-iolatency accounting underflow

2018-12-17T18:19:54+00:00

The blk-iolatency controller measures the time from rq_qos_throttle() to rq_qos_done_bio() and attributes this time to the first bio that needs to create the request. This means if a bio is plug-mergeable or bio-mergeable, it gets to bypass the blk-iolatency controller. The recent series [1], to tag all bios w/ blkgs undermined how iolatency was determining which bios it was charging and should process in rq_qos_done_bio(). Because all bios are being tagged, this caused the atomic_t for the struct rq_wait inflight count to underflow and result in a stall. This patch adds a new flag BIO_TRACKED to let controllers know that a bio is going through the rq_qos path. blk-iolatency now checks if this flag is set to see if it should process the bio in rq_qos_done_bio(). Overloading BLK_QUEUE_ENTERED works, but makes the flag rules confusing. BIO_THROTTLED was another candidate, but the flag is set for all bios that have gone through blk-throttle code. Overloading a flag comes with the burden of making sure that when either implementation changes, a change in setting rules for one doesn't cause a bug in the other. So here, we unfortunately opt for adding a new flag.

blkcg: rename blkg_try_get() to blkg_tryget()

2018-12-08T05:26:38+00:00

blkg reference counting now uses percpu_ref rather than atomic_t. Let's make this consistent with css_tryget. This renames blkg_try_get to blkg_tryget and now returns a bool rather than the blkg or %NULL. Signed-off-by: Dennis Zhou Reviewed-by: Josef Bacik Acked-by: Tejun Heo Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe

blkcg: consolidate bio_issue_init() to be a part of core

2018-12-08T05:26:37+00:00

bio_issue_init among other things initializes the timestamp for an IO. Rather than have this logic handled by policies, this consolidates it to be on the init paths (normal, clone, bounce clone).

blkcg: associate blkg when associating a device

2018-12-08T05:26:37+00:00

Previously, blkg association was handled by controller specific code in blk-throttle and blk-iolatency. However, because a blkg represents a relationship between a blkcg and a request_queue, it makes sense to keep the blkg->q and bio->bi_disk->queue consistent. This patch moves association into the bio_set_dev macro(). This should cover the majority of cases where the device is set/changed keeping the two pointers consistent. Fallback code is added to blkcg_bio_issue_check() to catch any missing paths. Signed-off-by: Dennis Zhou Reviewed-by: Josef Bacik Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe

blkcg: introduce common blkg association logic

2018-12-08T05:26:36+00:00

There are 3 ways blkg association can happen: association with the current css, with the page css (swap), or from the wbc css (writeback). This patch handles how association is done for the first case where we are associating bsaed on the current css. If there is already a blkg associated, the css will be reused and association will be redone as the request_queue may have changed.

blkcg: convert blkg_lookup_create() to find closest blkg

2018-12-08T05:26:36+00:00

There are several scenarios where blkg_lookup_create() can fail such as the blkcg dying, request_queue is dying, or simply being OOM. Most handle this by simply falling back to the q->root_blkg and calling it a day. This patch implements the notion of closest blkg. During blkg_lookup_create(), if it fails to create, return the closest blkg found or the q->root_blkg. blkg_try_get_closest() is introduced and used during association so a bio is always attached to a blkg.

blkcg: update blkg_lookup_create() to do locking

2018-12-08T05:26:36+00:00

To know when to create a blkg, the general pattern is to do a blkg_lookup() and if that fails, lock and do the lookup again, and if that fails finally create. It doesn't make much sense for everyone who wants to do creation to write this themselves. This changes blkg_lookup_create() to do locking and implement this pattern. The old blkg_lookup_create() is renamed to __blkg_lookup_create(). If a call site wants to do its own error handling or already owns the queue lock, they can use __blkg_lookup_create(). This will be used in upcoming patches. Signed-off-by: Dennis Zhou Reviewed-by: Josef Bacik Acked-by: Tejun Heo Reviewed-by: Liu Bo Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe
