2018-01-18block, bfq: limit sectors served with interactive weight raisingPaolo Valente3-9/+80
To maximise responsiveness, BFQ raises the weight, and performs device idling, for bfq_queues associated with processes deemed as interactive. In particular, weight raising has a maximum duration, equal to the time needed to start a large application. If a weight-raised process goes on doing I/O beyond this maximum duration, it loses weight-raising. This mechanism is evidently vulnerable to the following false positives: I/O-bound applications that will go on doing I/O for much longer than the duration of weight-raising. These applications have basically no benefit from being weight-raised at the beginning of their I/O. On the opposite end, while being weight-raised, these applications a) unjustly steal throughput to applications that may truly need low latency; b) make BFQ uselessly perform device idling; device idling results in loss of device throughput with most flash-based storage, and may increase latencies when used purposelessly. This commit adds a countermeasure to reduce both the above problems. To introduce this countermeasure, we provide the following extra piece of information (full details in the comments added by this commit). During the start-up of the large application used as a reference to set the duration of weight-raising, involved processes transfer at most ~110K sectors each. Accordingly, a process initially deemed as interactive has no right to be weight-raised any longer, once transferred 110K sectors or more. Basing on this consideration, this commit early-ends weight-raising for a bfq_queue if the latter happens to have received an amount of service at least equal to 110K sectors (actually, a little bit more, to keep a safety margin). I/O-bound applications that reach a high throughput, such as file copy, get to this threshold much before the allowed weight-raising period finishes. Thus this early ending of weight-raising reduces the amount of time during which these applications cause the problems described above.

2018-01-18block, bfq: limit tags for writes and async I/OPaolo Valente2-0/+89
Asynchronous I/O can easily starve synchronous I/O (both sync reads and sync writes), by consuming all request tags. Similarly, storms of synchronous writes, such as those that sync(2) may trigger, can starve synchronous reads. In their turn, these two problems may also cause BFQ to loose control on latency for interactive and soft real-time applications. For example, on a PLEXTOR PX-256M5S SSD, LibreOffice Writer takes 0.6 seconds to start if the device is idle, but it takes more than 45 seconds (!) if there are sequential writes in the background. This commit addresses this issue by limiting the maximum percentage of tags that asynchronous I/O requests and synchronous write requests can consume. In particular, this commit grants a higher threshold to synchronous writes, to prevent the latter from being starved by asynchronous I/O. According to the above test, LibreOffice Writer now starts in about 1.2 seconds on average, regardless of the background workload, and apart from some rare outlier. To check this improvement, run, e.g., sudo ./comm_startup_lat.sh bfq 5 5 seq 10 "lowriter --terminate_after_init" for the comm_startup_lat benchmark in the S suite [1].

2018-01-17blk-mq: improve DM's blk-mq IO merging via blk_insert_cloned_request feedbackMing Lei4-13/+49
blk_insert_cloned_request() is called in the fast path of a dm-rq driver (e.g. blk-mq request-based DM mpath). blk_insert_cloned_request() uses blk_mq_request_bypass_insert() to directly append the request to the blk-mq hctx->dispatch_list of the underlying queue. 1) This way isn't efficient enough because the hctx spinlock is always used. 2) With blk_insert_cloned_request(), we completely bypass underlying queue's elevator and depend on the upper-level dm-rq driver's elevator to schedule IO. But dm-rq currently can't get the underlying queue's dispatch feedback at all. Without knowing whether a request was issued or not (e.g. due to underlying queue being busy) the dm-rq elevator will not be able to provide effective IO merging (as a side-effect of dm-rq currently blindly destaging a request from its elevator only to requeue it after a delay, which kills any opportunity for merging). This obviously causes very bad sequential IO performance. Fix this by updating blk_insert_cloned_request() to use blk_mq_request_direct_issue(). blk_mq_request_direct_issue() allows a request to be issued directly to the underlying queue and returns the dispatch feedback (blk_status_t). If blk_mq_request_direct_issue() returns BLK_SYS_RESOURCE the dm-rq driver will now use DM_MAPIO_REQUEUE to _not_ destage the request. Whereby preserving the opportunity to merge IO. With this, request-based DM's blk-mq sequential IO performance is vastly improved (as much as 3X in mpath/virtio-scsi testing).

2018-01-17blk-mq: make sure hctx->next_cpu is set correctlyMing Lei1-2/+28
When hctx->next_cpu is set from possible online CPUs, there is one race in which hctx->next_cpu may be set as >= nr_cpu_ids, and finally break workqueue. The race can be triggered in the following two sitations: 1) when one CPU is becoming DEAD, blk_mq_hctx_notify_dead() is called to dispatch requests from the DEAD cpu context, but at that time, this DEAD CPU has been cleared from 'cpu_online_mask', so all CPUs in hctx->cpumask may become offline, and cause hctx->next_cpu set a bad value. 2) blk_mq_delay_run_hw_queue() is called from CPU B, and found the queue should be run on the other CPU A, then CPU A may become offline at the same time and all CPUs in hctx->cpumask become offline. This patch deals with this issue by re-selecting next CPU, and making sure it is set correctly.

2018-01-17aoe: use ktime_t instead of timevalTina Ruchandani2-37/+14
'struct frame' uses two variables to store the sent timestamp - 'struct timeval' and jiffies. jiffies is used to avoid discrepancies caused by updates to system time. 'struct timeval' is deprecated because it uses 32-bit representation for seconds which will overflow in year 2038. This patch does the following: - Replace the use of 'struct timeval' and jiffies with ktime_t, which is the recommended type for timestamping - ktime_t provides both long range (like jiffies) and high resolution (like timeval). Using ktime_get (monotonic time) instead of wall-clock time prevents any discprepancies caused by updates to system time. [updates by Arnd below] The original patch from Tina never went anywhere as we discussed how to keep the impact on performance minimal. I've started over now but arrived at basically the same patch that she had originally, except for an slightly improved tsince_hr() function. I'm making it more robust against overflows, and also optimize explicitly for the common case in which a frame is less than 4.2 seconds old, using only a 32-bit division in that case. This should make the new version more efficient than the old code, since we replace the existing two 32-bit division in do_gettimeofday() plus one multiplication with a single single 32-bit division in tsince_hr() and drop the double bookkeeping. It's also more efficient than the ktime_get_us() API we discussed before, since that would also rely on multiple divisions.

2018-01-15dm: fix incomplete request_queue initializationMike Snitzer2-10/+10
DM is no longer prone to having its request_queue be improperly initialized. Summary of changes: - defer DM's blk_register_queue() from add_disk()-time until dm_setup_md_queue() by using add_disk_no_queue_reg() in alloc_dev(). - dm_setup_md_queue() is updated to fully initialize DM's request_queue (_after_ all table loads have occurred and the request_queue's type, features and limits are known). A very welcome side-effect of these changes is DM no longer needs to: 1) backfill the "mq" sysfs entry (because historically DM didn't initialize the request_queue to use blk-mq until _after_ blk_register_queue() was called via add_disk()). 2) call elv_register_queue() to get .request_fn request-based DM device's "iosched" exposed in syfs. In addition, blk-mq debugfs support is now made available because request-based DM's blk-mq request_queue is now properly initialized before dm_setup_md_queue() calls blk_register_queue(). These changes also stave off the need to introduce new DM-specific workarounds in block core, e.g. this proposal: https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/10067961/ In the end DM devices should be less unicorn in nature (relative to initialization and availability of block core infrastructure provided by the request_queue).

2018-01-15block: allow gendisk's request_queue registration to be deferredMike Snitzer3-3/+27
Since I can remember DM has forced the block layer to allow the allocation and initialization of the request_queue to be distinct operations. Reason for this is block/genhd.c:add_disk() has requires that the request_queue (and associated bdi) be tied to the gendisk before add_disk() is called -- because add_disk() also deals with exposing the request_queue via blk_register_queue(). DM's dynamic creation of arbitrary device types (and associated request_queue types) requires the DM device's gendisk be available so that DM table loads can establish a master/slave relationship with subordinate devices that are referenced by loaded DM tables -- using bd_link_disk_holder(). But until these DM tables, and their associated subordinate devices, are known DM cannot know what type of request_queue it needs -- nor what its queue_limits should be. This chicken and egg scenario has created all manner of problems for DM and, at times, the block layer. Summary of changes: - Add device_add_disk_no_queue_reg() and add_disk_no_queue_reg() variant that drivers may use to add a disk without also calling blk_register_queue(). Driver must call blk_register_queue() once its request_queue is fully initialized. - Return early from blk_unregister_queue() if QUEUE_FLAG_REGISTERED is not set. It won't be set if driver used add_disk_no_queue_reg() but driver encounters an error and must del_gendisk() before calling blk_register_queue(). - Export blk_register_queue(). These changes allow DM to use add_disk_no_queue_reg() to anchor its gendisk as the "master" for master/slave relationships DM must establish with subordinate devices referenced in DM tables that get loaded. Once all "slave" devices for a DM device are known its request_queue can be properly initialized and then advertised via sysfs -- important improvement being that no request_queue resource initialization performed by blk_register_queue() is missed for DM devices anymore.

2018-01-15block: properly protect the 'queue' kobj in blk_unregister_queueMike Snitzer2-11/+11
The original commit e9a823fb34a8b (block: fix warning when I/O elevator is changed as request_queue is being removed) is pretty conflated. "conflated" because the resource being protected by q->sysfs_lock isn't the queue_flags (it is the 'queue' kobj). q->sysfs_lock serializes __elevator_change() (via elv_iosched_store) from racing with blk_unregister_queue(): 1) By holding q->sysfs_lock first, __elevator_change() can complete before a racing blk_unregister_queue(). 2) Conversely, __elevator_change() is testing for QUEUE_FLAG_REGISTERED in case elv_iosched_store() loses the race with blk_unregister_queue(), it needs a way to know the 'queue' kobj isn't there. Expand the scope of blk_unregister_queue()'s q->sysfs_lock use so it is held until after the 'queue' kobj is removed. To do so blk_mq_unregister_dev() must not also take q->sysfs_lock. So rename __blk_mq_unregister_dev() to blk_mq_unregister_dev(). Also, blk_unregister_queue() should use q->queue_lock to protect against any concurrent writes to q->queue_flags -- even though chances are the queue is being cleaned up so no concurrent writes are likely.

2018-01-10nvme/multipath: Consult blk_status_t for failoverKeith Busch3-42/+16
This removes nvme multipath's specific status decoding to see if failover is needed, using the generic blk_status_t that was decoded earlier.

UFS partitions from newer versions of FreeBSD 10 and 11 use relative addressing for their subpartitions. But older versions of FreeBSD still use absolute addressing just like OpenBSD and NetBSD. Instead of simply testing for a FreeBSD partition, the code needs to also test if the starting offset of the C subpartition is zero. https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=197733 Signed-off-by: Richard Narron <comet.berkeley@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@kernel.dk>
2018-01-10null_blk: add option for managing IO timeoutsJens Axboe2-4/+43
Use the fault injection framework to provide a way for null_blk to configure timeouts. This only works for queue_mode 1 and 2, since the bio mode doesn't have code for tracking timeouts. Let's say you want to have a 10% chance of timing out every 100,000 requests, and for 5 total timeouts, you could do: modprobe null_blk timeout="100000,10,0,5" This is useful for adding blktests to test that IO timeouts are handled appropriately.

Also once multipage bvec is enabled, adjacent bvecs won't be physically contiguous if page is added via bio_add_page(), so we don't need this kind of complicated logic.

2018-01-10null_blk: wire up timeoutsJens Axboe1-0/+16
This is needed to ensure that we actually handle timeouts. Without it, the queue_mode=1 path will never call blk_add_timer(), and the queue_mode=2 path will continually just return EH_RESET_TIMER and we never actually complete the offending request. This was used to test the new timeout code, and the changes around killing off REQ_ATOM_COMPLETE. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@kernel.dk>

2018-01-09blk-mq: make blk_abort_request() trigger timeout pathTejun Heo3-7/+10
With issue/complete and timeout paths now using the generation number and state based synchronization, blk_abort_request() is the only one which depends on REQ_ATOM_COMPLETE for arbitrating completion. There's no reason for blk_abort_request() to be a completely separate path. This patch makes blk_abort_request() piggyback on the timeout path instead of trying to terminate the request directly. This removes the last dependency on REQ_ATOM_COMPLETE in blk-mq. Note that this makes blk_abort_request() asynchronous - it initiates abortion but the actual termination will happen after a short while, even when the caller owns the request. AFAICS, SCSI and ATA should be fine with that and I think mtip32xx and dasd should be safe but not completely sure. It'd be great if people who know the drivers take a look. v2: - Add comment explaining the lack of synchronization around ->deadline update as requested by Bart.
