2011-12-29block: fix blk_queue_end_tag()Dan Williams1-11/+2
Commit 5e081591 "block: warn if tag is greater than real_max_depth" cleaned up blk_queue_end_tag() to warn when the tag is truly invalid (greater than real_max_depth). However, it changed behavior in the tag < max_depth case to not end the request. Leading to triggering of BUG_ON(blk_queued_rq(rq)) in the request completion path: http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=132204370518629&w=2 In order to allow blk_queue_resize_tags() to shrink the tag space blk_queue_end_tag() must always complete tags with a value less than real_max_depth regardless of the current max_depth. The comment about "handling the shrink case" seems to be what prompted changes in this space, so remove it and BUG on all invalid tags (made even simpler by Matthew's suggestion to use an unsigned compare).

All requests of a queue could be merged to other requests of other queue. Such queue will not have request in it, but it's in service tree. This will cause kernel oops. I encounter a BUG_ON() in cfq_dispatch_request() with next patch, but the issue should exist without the patch.

2011-12-02cfq-iosched: fix cfq_cic_link() race confitionYasuaki Ishimatsu1-2/+9
cfq_cic_link() has race condition. When some processes which shared ioc issue I/O to same block device simultaneously, cfq_cic_link() returns -EEXIST sometimes. The race condition might stop I/O by following steps: step 1: Process A: Issue an I/O to /dev/sda step 2: Process A: Get an ioc (iocA here) in get_io_context() which does not linked with a cic for the device step 3: Process A: Get a new cic for the device (cicA here) in cfq_alloc_io_context() step 4: Process B: Issue an I/O to /dev/sda step 5: Process B: Get iocA in get_io_context() since process A and B share the same ioc step 6: Process B: Get a new cic for the device (cicB here) in cfq_alloc_io_context() since iocA has not been linked with a cic for the device yet step 7: Process A: Link cicA to iocA in cfq_cic_link() step 8: Process A: Dispatch I/O to driver and finish it step 9: Process B: Try to link cicB to iocA in cfq_cic_link() But it fails with showing "cfq: cic link failed!" kernel message, since iocA has already linked with cicA at step 7. step 10: Process B: Wait for finishig I/O in get_request_wait() The function does not wake up, when there is no I/O to the device. When cfq_cic_link() returns -EEXIST, it means ioc has already linked with cic. So when cfq_cic_link() return -EEXIST, retry cfq_cic_lookup().

2011-11-23block: initialize request_queue's numa node duringMike Snitzer1-11/+3

This reverts commit a72c5e5eb738033938ab30d6a634b74d1d060f10. The commit introduced alias for block devices which is intended to be used during logging although actual usage hasn't been committed yet. This approach adds very limited benefit (raw log might be easier to follow) which can be trivially implemented in userland but has a lot of problems. It is much worse than netif renames because it doesn't rename the actual device but just adds conveninence name which isn't used universally or enforced. Everything internal including device lookup and sysfs still uses the internal name and nothing prevents two devices from using conflicting alias - ie. sda can have sdb as its alias. This has been nacked by people working on device driver core, block layer and kernel-userland interface and shouldn't have been upstreamed.

If a SCSI device is removed while the device is still open, the sdev puts the base reference to the queue on release. When the bdev is finally released, the associated queue is already gone along with the bdi and bdev_inode_switch_bdi() ends up dereferencing already freed bdi. Even if it were not for this bug, disk not holding onto the associated queue is very unusual and error-prone. Fix it by making add_disk() take an extra reference to its queue and put it on disk_release() and ensuring that disk and its fops owner are put in that order after all accesses to the disk and queue are complete.

2011-10-24blk-flush: move the queue kick intoJeff Moyer2-1/+2
A dm-multipath user reported[1] a problem when trying to boot a kernel with commit 4853abaae7e4a2af938115ce9071ef8684fb7af4 (block: fix flush machinery for stacking drivers with differring flush flags) applied. It turns out that an empty flush request can be sent into blk_insert_flush. When the BUG_ON was fixed to allow for this, I/O on the underlying device would stall. The reason is that blk_insert_cloned_request does not kick the queue. In the aforementioned commit, I had added a special case to kick the queue if data was sent down but the queue flags did not require a flush. A better solution is to push the queue kick up into blk_insert_cloned_request. This patch, along with a follow-on which fixes the BUG_ON, fixes the issue reported.

bio originally has the functionality to set the complete cpu, but it is broken. Chirstoph said that "This code is unused, and from the all the discussions lately pretty obviously broken. The only thing keeping it serves is creating more confusion and possibly more bugs." And Jens replied with "We can kill bio_set_completion_cpu(). I'm fine with leaving cpu control to the request based drivers, they are the only ones that can toggle the setting anyway".

2011-10-19block: fix request_queue lifetime handling by making blk_queue_cleanup() ↵Tejun Heo5-29/+87
properly shutdown request_queue is refcounted but actually depdends on lifetime management from the queue owner - on blk_cleanup_queue(), block layer expects that there's no request passing through request_queue and no new one will. This is fundamentally broken. The queue owner (e.g. SCSI layer) doesn't have a way to know whether there are other active users before calling blk_cleanup_queue() and other users (e.g. bsg) don't have any guarantee that the queue is and would stay valid while it's holding a reference. With delay added in blk_queue_bio() before queue_lock is grabbed, the following oops can be easily triggered when a device is removed with in-flight IOs. sd 0:0:1:0: [sdb] Stopping disk ata1.01: disabled general protection fault: 0000 [#1] PREEMPT SMP CPU 2 Modules linked in: Pid: 648, comm: test_rawio Not tainted 3.1.0-rc3-work+ #56 Bochs Bochs RIP: 0010:[<ffffffff8137d651>] [<ffffffff8137d651>] elv_rqhash_find+0x61/0x100 ...

Similar problem exists for blk-throtl. On queue cleanup, blk-throtl is shutdown whether it has requests in it or not. Depending on timing, it either oopses or throttled bios are lost putting tasks which are waiting for bio completion into eternal D state. The way it should work is having the usual clear distinction between shutdown and release. Shutdown drains all currently pending requests, marks the queue dead, and performs partial teardown of the now unnecessary part of the queue. Even after shutdown is complete, reference holders are still allowed to issue requests to the queue although they will be immmediately failed. The rest of teardown happens on release. This patch makes the following changes to make blk_queue_cleanup() behave as proper shutdown. * QUEUE_FLAG_DEAD is now set while holding both q->exit_mutex and queue_lock. * Unsynchronized DEAD check in generic_make_request_checks() removed. This couldn't make any meaningful difference as the queue could die after the check. * blk_drain_queue() updated such that it can drain all requests and is now called during cleanup. * blk_throtl updated such that it checks DEAD on grabbing queue_lock, drains all throttled bios during cleanup and free td when queue is released.

2011-10-19block: drop @tsk from attempt_plug_merge() and explain sync rulesTejun Heo1-7/+21
attempt_plug_merge() accesses elevator without holding queue_lock and may call into ->elevator_bio_merge_fn(). The elvator is guaranteed to be valid because it's accessed iff the plugged list has requests and elevator is never exited with live requests, so as long as the elevator method can deal with unlocked access, this is safe. Explain the sync rules around attempt_plug_merge() and drop the unnecessary @tsk parameter. This patch doesn't introduce any functional change.

2011-10-19block: make get_request[_wait]() fail if queue is deadTejun Heo1-16/+38
Currently get_request[_wait]() allocates request whether queue is dead or not. This patch makes get_request[_wait]() return NULL if @q is dead. blk_queue_bio() is updated to fail the submitted bio if request allocation fails. While at it, add docbook comments for get_request[_wait](). Note that the current code has rather unclear (there are spurious DEAD tests scattered around) assumption that the owner of a queue guarantees that no request travels block layer if the queue is dead and this patch in itself doesn't change much; however, this will allow fixing the broken assumption in the next patch.

2011-10-19block: reorganize throtl_get_tg() and blk_throtl_bio()Tejun Heo3-41/+22
blk_throtl_bio() and throtl_get_tg() have rather unusual interface. * throtl_get_tg() returns pointer to a valid tg or ERR_PTR(-ENODEV), and drops queue_lock in the latter case. Different locking context depending on return value is error-prone and DEAD state is scheduled to be protected by queue_lock anyway. Move DEAD check inside queue_lock and return valid tg or NULL. * blk_throtl_bio() indicates return status both with its return value and in/out param **@bio. The former is used to indicate whether queue is found to be dead during throtl processing. The latter whether the bio is throttled. There's no point in returning DEAD check result from blk_throtl_bio(). The queue can die after blk_throtl_bio() is finished but before make_request_fn() grabs queue lock. Make it take *@bio instead and return boolean result indicating whether the request is throttled or not. This patch doesn't cause any visible functional difference.

2011-10-19block: drop unnecessary blk_get/put_queue() in scsi_cmd_ioctl() and blk_get_tg()Tejun Heo2-9/+2
blk_get/put_queue() in scsi_cmd_ioctl() and throtl_get_tg() are completely bogus. The caller must have a reference to the queue on entry and taking an extra reference doesn't change anything. For scsi_cmd_ioctl(), the only effect is that it ends up checking QUEUE_FLAG_DEAD on entry; however, this is bogus as queue can die right after blk_get_queue(). Dead queue should be and is handled in request issue path (it's somewhat broken now but that's a separate problem and doesn't affect this one much). throtl_get_tg() incorrectly assumes that q is rcu freed. Also, it doesn't check return value of blk_get_queue(). If the queue is already dead, it ends up doing an extra put. Drop them.

If a SCSI device is removed while the device is still open, the sdev puts the base reference to the queue on release. When the bdev is finally released, the associated queue is already gone along with the bdi and bdev_inode_switch_bdi() ends up dereferencing already freed bdi. Even if it were not for this bug, disk not holding onto the associated queue is very unusual and error-prone. Fix it by making add_disk() take an extra reference to its queue and put it on disk_release() and ensuring that disk and its fops owner are put in that order after all accesses to the disk and queue are complete.

2011-09-28block: Free queue resources at blk_release_queue()Hannes Reinecke2-7/+11
A kernel crash is observed when a mounted ext3/ext4 filesystem is physically removed. The problem is that blk_cleanup_queue() frees up some resources eg by calling elevator_exit(), which are not checked for in normal operation. So we should rather move these calls to the destructor function blk_release_queue() as at that point all remaining references are gone. However, in doing so we have to ensure that any externally supplied queue_lock is disconnected as the driver might free up the lock after the call of blk_cleanup_queue(), Signed-off-by: Hannes Reinecke <hare@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@kernel.dk>
