bcache: fix set_at_max_writeback_rate() for multiple attached devices

2022-10-21T10:39:22+00:00

[ Upstream commit d2d05b88035d2d51a5bb6c5afec88a0880c73df4 ] Inside set_at_max_writeback_rate() the calculation in following if() check is wrong, if (atomic_inc_return(&c->idle_counter) < atomic_read(&c->attached_dev_nr) * 6) Because each attached backing device has its own writeback thread running and increasing c->idle_counter, the counter increates much faster than expected. The correct calculation should be, (counter / dev_nr) < dev_nr * 6 which equals to, counter < dev_nr * dev_nr * 6 This patch fixes the above mistake with correct calculation, and helper routine idle_counter_exceeded() is added to make code be more clear.

bcache: remove EXPERIMENTAL for Kconfig option 'Asynchronous device registration'

2022-08-02T23:22:41+00:00

The "Asynchronous device registration (EXPERIMENTAL)" Kconfig option is for 2+ years, it is used when registration takes too much time for massive amount of cached data, to avoid udev task timeout during boot time. Many users and products enable this Kconfig option for quite long time (e.g. SUSE Linux) and it works as expected and no issue reported. It is time to remove the "EXPERIMENTAL" tag from this Kconfig item. Signed-off-by: Coly Li Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20220719042724.8498-2-colyli@suse.de Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe

mm: shrinkers: provide shrinkers with names

2022-07-04T01:08:40+00:00

Currently shrinkers are anonymous objects. For debugging purposes they can be identified by count/scan function names, but it's not always useful: e.g. for superblock's shrinkers it's nice to have at least an idea of to which superblock the shrinker belongs. This commit adds names to shrinkers. register_shrinker() and prealloc_shrinker() functions are extended to take a format and arguments to master a name. In some cases it's not possible to determine a good name at the time when a shrinker is allocated. For such cases shrinker_debugfs_rename() is provided. The expected format is: -[:]- For some shrinkers an instance can be encoded as (MAJOR:MINOR) pair. After this change the shrinker debugfs directory looks like: $ cd /sys/kernel/debug/shrinker/ $ ls dquota-cache-16 sb-devpts-28 sb-proc-47 sb-tmpfs-42 mm-shadow-18 sb-devtmpfs-5 sb-proc-48 sb-tmpfs-43 mm-zspool:zram0-34 sb-hugetlbfs-17 sb-pstore-31 sb-tmpfs-44 rcu-kfree-0 sb-hugetlbfs-33 sb-rootfs-2 sb-tmpfs-49 sb-aio-20 sb-iomem-12 sb-securityfs-6 sb-tracefs-13 sb-anon_inodefs-15 sb-mqueue-21 sb-selinuxfs-22 sb-xfs:vda1-36 sb-bdev-3 sb-nsfs-4 sb-sockfs-8 sb-zsmalloc-19 sb-bpf-32 sb-pipefs-14 sb-sysfs-26 thp-deferred_split-10 sb-btrfs:vda2-24 sb-proc-25 sb-tmpfs-1 thp-zero-9 sb-cgroup2-30 sb-proc-39 sb-tmpfs-27 xfs-buf:vda1-37 sb-configfs-23 sb-proc-41 sb-tmpfs-29 xfs-inodegc:vda1-38 sb-dax-11 sb-proc-45 sb-tmpfs-35 sb-debugfs-7 sb-proc-46 sb-tmpfs-40 [roman.gushchin@linux.dev: fix build warnings] Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/Yr+ZTnLb9lJk6fJO@castle Reported-by: kernel test robot Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20220601032227.4076670-4-roman.gushchin@linux.dev Signed-off-by: Roman Gushchin Cc: Christophe JAILLET Cc: Dave Chinner Cc: Hillf Danton Cc: Kent Overstreet Cc: Muchun Song Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton

bcache: avoid unnecessary soft lockup in kworker update_writeback_rate()

2022-05-28T12:48:26+00:00

The kworker routine update_writeback_rate() is schedued to update the writeback rate in every 5 seconds by default. Before calling __update_writeback_rate() to do real job, semaphore dc->writeback_lock should be held by the kworker routine. At the same time, bcache writeback thread routine bch_writeback_thread() also needs to hold dc->writeback_lock before flushing dirty data back into the backing device. If the dirty data set is large, it might be very long time for bch_writeback_thread() to scan all dirty buckets and releases dc->writeback_lock. In such case update_writeback_rate() can be starved for long enough time so that kernel reports a soft lockup warn- ing started like: watchdog: BUG: soft lockup - CPU#246 stuck for 23s! [kworker/246:31:179713] Such soft lockup condition is unnecessary, because after the writeback thread finishes its job and releases dc->writeback_lock, the kworker update_writeback_rate() may continue to work and everything is fine indeed. This patch avoids the unnecessary soft lockup by the following method, - Add new member to struct cached_dev - dc->rate_update_retry (0 by default) - In update_writeback_rate() call down_read_trylock(&dc->writeback_lock) firstly, if it fails then lock contention happens. - If dc->rate_update_retry <= BCH_WBRATE_UPDATE_MAX_SKIPS (15), doesn't acquire the lock and reschedules the kworker for next try. - If dc->rate_update_retry > BCH_WBRATE_UPDATE_MAX_SKIPS, no retry anymore and call down_read(&dc->writeback_lock) to wait for the lock. By the above method, at worst case update_writeback_rate() may retry for 1+ minutes before blocking on dc->writeback_lock by calling down_read(). For a 4TB cache device with 1TB dirty data, 90%+ of the unnecessary soft lockup warning message can be avoided. When retrying to acquire dc->writeback_lock in update_writeback_rate(), of course the writeback rate cannot be updated. It is fair, because when the kworker is blocked on the lock contention of dc->writeback_lock, the writeback rate cannot be updated neither. This change follows Jens Axboe's suggestion to a more clear and simple version. Signed-off-by: Coly Li Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20220528124550.32834-2-colyli@suse.de Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe
