blk: Ensure users for current->bio_list can see the full list.

2017-03-11T22:31:37+00:00

Commit 79bd99596b73 ("blk: improve order of bio handling in generic_make_request()") changed current->bio_list so that it did not contain *all* of the queued bios, but only those submitted by the currently running make_request_fn. There are two places which walk the list and requeue selected bios, and others that check if the list is empty. These are no longer correct. So redefine current->bio_list to point to an array of two lists, which contain all queued bios, and adjust various code to test or walk both lists.

Pull device mapper updates from Mike Snitzer: - Fix dm-raid transient device failure processing and other smaller tweaks. - Add journal support to the DM raid target to close the 'write hole' on raid 4/5/6. - Fix dm-cache corruption, due to rounding bug, when cache exceeds 2TB. - Add 'metadata2' feature to dm-cache to separate the dirty bitset out from other cache metadata. This improves speed of shutting down a large cache device (which implies writing out dirty bits). - Fix a memory leak during dm-stats data structure destruction. - Fix a DM multipath round-robin path selector performance regression that was caused by less precise balancing across all paths. - Lastly, introduce a DM core fix for a long-standing DM snapshot deadlock that is rooted in the complexity of the device stack used in conjunction with block core maintaining bios on current->bio_list to manage recursion in generic_make_request(). A more comprehensive fix to block core (and its hook in the cpu scheduler) would be wonderful but this DM-specific fix is pragmatic considering how difficult it has been to make progress on a generic fix. * tag 'dm-4.11-changes' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/device-mapper/linux-dm: (22 commits) dm: flush queued bios when process blocks to avoid deadlock dm round robin: revert "use percpu 'repeat_count' and 'current_path'" dm stats: fix a leaked s->histogram_boundaries array dm space map metadata: constify dm_space_map structures dm cache metadata: use cursor api in blocks_are_clean_separate_dirty() dm persistent data: add cursor skip functions to the cursor APIs dm cache metadata: use dm_bitset_new() to create the dirty bitset in format 2 dm bitset: add dm_bitset_new() dm cache metadata: name the cache block that couldn't be loaded dm cache metadata: add "metadata2" feature dm cache metadata: use bitset cursor api to load discard bitset dm bitset: introduce cursor api dm btree: use GFP_NOFS in dm_btree_del() dm space map common: memcpy the disk root to ensure it's arch aligned dm block manager: add unlikely() annotations on dm_bufio error paths dm cache: fix corruption seen when using cache > 2TB dm raid: cleanup awkward branching in raid_message() option processing dm raid: use mddev rather than rdev->mddev dm raid: use read_disk_sb() throughout dm raid: add raid4/5/6 journaling support ...

dm: flush queued bios when process blocks to avoid deadlock

2017-02-17T05:54:10+00:00

Commit df2cb6daa4 ("block: Avoid deadlocks with bio allocation by stacking drivers") created a workqueue for every bio set and code in bio_alloc_bioset() that tries to resolve some low-memory deadlocks by redirecting bios queued on current->bio_list to the workqueue if the system is low on memory. However other deadlocks (see below **) may happen, without any low memory condition, because generic_make_request is queuing bios to current->bio_list (rather than submitting them). ** the related dm-snapshot deadlock is detailed here: https://www.redhat.com/archives/dm-devel/2016-July/msg00065.html Fix this deadlock by redirecting any bios on current->bio_list to the bio_set's rescue workqueue on every schedule() call. Consequently, when the process blocks on a mutex, the bios queued on current->bio_list are dispatched to independent workqueus and they can complete without waiting for the mutex to be available. The structure blk_plug contains an entry cb_list and this list can contain arbitrary callback functions that are called when the process blocks. To implement this fix DM (ab)uses the onstack plug's cb_list interface to get its flush_current_bio_list() called at schedule() time. This fixes the snapshot deadlock - if the map method blocks, flush_current_bio_list() will be called and it redirects bios waiting on current->bio_list to appropriate workqueues.

dm: don't allow ioctls to targets that don't map to whole devices

2017-02-04T17:19:40+00:00

.. at least for unprivileged users. Before we called into the SCSI ioctl code to allow excemptions for a few SCSI passthrough ioctls, but this is pretty unsafe and except for this call dm knows nothing about SCSI ioctls. As the SCSI ioctl code is now optional, we really don't want to drag it in for DM, and the exception is not very useful anyway.

block: Use pointer to backing_dev_info from request_queue

2017-02-02T15:20:48+00:00

We will want to have struct backing_dev_info allocated separately from struct request_queue. As the first step add pointer to backing_dev_info to request_queue and convert all users touching it.

dm: always defer request allocation to the owner of the request_queue

2017-01-27T22:08:35+00:00

DM already calls blk_mq_alloc_request on the request_queue of the underlying device if it is a blk-mq device. But now that we allow drivers to allocate additional data and initialize it ahead of time we need to do the same for all drivers. Doing so and using the new cmd_size infrastructure in the block layer greatly simplifies the dm-rq and mpath code, and should also make arbitrary combinations of SQ and MQ devices with SQ or MQ device mapper tables easily possible as a further step.

Pull block layer updates from Jens Axboe: "This is the main block pull request this series. Contrary to previous release, I've kept the core and driver changes in the same branch. We always ended up having dependencies between the two for obvious reasons, so makes more sense to keep them together. That said, I'll probably try and keep more topical branches going forward, especially for cycles that end up being as busy as this one. The major parts of this pull request is: - Improved support for O_DIRECT on block devices, with a small private implementation instead of using the pig that is fs/direct-io.c. From Christoph. - Request completion tracking in a scalable fashion. This is utilized by two components in this pull, the new hybrid polling and the writeback queue throttling code. - Improved support for polling with O_DIRECT, adding a hybrid mode that combines pure polling with an initial sleep. From me. - Support for automatic throttling of writeback queues on the block side. This uses feedback from the device completion latencies to scale the queue on the block side up or down. From me. - Support from SMR drives in the block layer and for SD. From Hannes and Shaun. - Multi-connection support for nbd. From Josef. - Cleanup of request and bio flags, so we have a clear split between which are bio (or rq) private, and which ones are shared. From Christoph. - A set of patches from Bart, that improve how we handle queue stopping and starting in blk-mq. - Support for WRITE_ZEROES from Chaitanya. - Lightnvm updates from Javier/Matias. - Supoort for FC for the nvme-over-fabrics code.
