2021-05-12block, bfq: avoid circular stable mergesPaolo Valente1-2/+29
BFQ may merge a new bfq_queue, stably, with the last bfq_queue created. In particular, BFQ first waits a little bit for some I/O to flow inside the new queue, say Q2, if this is needed to understand whether it is better or worse to merge Q2 with the last queue created, say Q1. This delayed stable merge is performed by assigning bic->stable_merge_bfqq = Q1, for the bic associated with Q1. Yet, while waiting for some I/O to flow in Q2, a non-stable queue merge of Q2 with Q1 may happen, causing the bic previously associated with Q2 to be associated with exactly Q1 (bic->bfqq = Q1). After that, Q2 and Q1 may happen to be split, and, in the split, Q1 may happen to be recycled as a non-shared bfq_queue. In that case, Q1 may then happen to undergo a stable merge with the bfq_queue pointed by bic->stable_merge_bfqq. Yet bic->stable_merge_bfqq still points to Q1. So Q1 would be merged with itself. This commit fixes this error by intercepting this situation, and canceling the schedule of the stable merge.

2021-05-11kyber: fix out of bounds access when preemptedOmar Sandoval1-2/+1
__blk_mq_sched_bio_merge() gets the ctx and hctx for the current CPU and passes the hctx to ->bio_merge(). kyber_bio_merge() then gets the ctx for the current CPU again and uses that to get the corresponding Kyber context in the passed hctx. However, the thread may be preempted between the two calls to blk_mq_get_ctx(), and the ctx returned the second time may no longer correspond to the passed hctx. This "works" accidentally most of the time, but it can cause us to read garbage if the second ctx came from an hctx with more ctx's than the first one (i.e., if ctx->index_hw[hctx->type] > hctx->nr_ctx). This manifested as this UBSAN array index out of bounds error reported by Jakub: UBSAN: array-index-out-of-bounds in ../kernel/locking/qspinlock.c:130:9 index 13106 is out of range for type 'long unsigned int [128]' Call Trace: dump_stack+0xa4/0xe5 ubsan_epilogue+0x5/0x40 __ubsan_handle_out_of_bounds.cold.13+0x2a/0x34 queued_spin_lock_slowpath+0x476/0x480 do_raw_spin_lock+0x1c2/0x1d0 kyber_bio_merge+0x112/0x180 blk_mq_submit_bio+0x1f5/0x1100 submit_bio_noacct+0x7b0/0x870 submit_bio+0xc2/0x3a0 btrfs_map_bio+0x4f0/0x9d0 btrfs_submit_data_bio+0x24e/0x310 submit_one_bio+0x7f/0xb0 submit_extent_page+0xc4/0x440 __extent_writepage_io+0x2b8/0x5e0 __extent_writepage+0x28d/0x6e0 extent_write_cache_pages+0x4d7/0x7a0 extent_writepages+0xa2/0x110 do_writepages+0x8f/0x180 __writeback_single_inode+0x99/0x7f0 writeback_sb_inodes+0x34e/0x790 __writeback_inodes_wb+0x9e/0x120 wb_writeback+0x4d2/0x660 wb_workfn+0x64d/0xa10 process_one_work+0x53a/0xa80 worker_thread+0x69/0x5b0 kthread+0x20b/0x240 ret_from_fork+0x1f/0x30 Only Kyber uses the hctx, so fix it by passing the request_queue to ->bio_merge() instead.

2021-04-16bfq/mq-deadline: remove redundant check for passthrough requestLin Feng1-2/+1
Since commit 01e99aeca39796003 'blk-mq: insert passthrough request into hctx->dispatch directly', passthrough request should not appear in IO-scheduler any more, so blk_rq_is_passthrough checking in addon IO schedulers is redundant. (Notes: this patch passes generic IO load test with hdds under SAS controller and hdds under AHCI controller but obviously not covers all. Not sure if passthrough request can still escape into IO scheduler from blk_mq_sched_insert_requests, which is used by blk_mq_flush_plug_list and has lots of indirect callers.)

2021-03-25block, bfq: merge bursts of newly-created queuesPaolo Valente1-10/+249
Many throughput-sensitive workloads are made of several parallel I/O flows, with all flows generated by the same application, or more generically by the same task (e.g., system boot). The most counterproductive action with these workloads is plugging I/O dispatch when one of the bfq_queues associated with these flows remains temporarily empty. To avoid this plugging, BFQ has been using a burst-handling mechanism for years now. This mechanism has proven effective for throughput, and not detrimental for service guarantees. This commit pushes this mechanism a little bit further, basing on the following two facts. First, all the I/O flows of a the same application or task contribute to the execution/completion of that common application or task. So the performance figures that matter are total throughput of the flows and task-wide I/O latency. In particular, these flows do not need to be protected from each other, in terms of individual bandwidth or latency. Second, the above fact holds regardless of the number of flows. Putting these two facts together, this commits merges stably the bfq_queues associated with these I/O flows, i.e., with the processes that generate these IO/ flows, regardless of how many the involved processes are. To decide whether a set of bfq_queues is actually associated with the I/O flows of a common application or task, and to merge these queues stably, this commit operates as follows: given a bfq_queue, say Q2, currently being created, and the last bfq_queue, say Q1, created before Q2, Q2 is merged stably with Q1 if - very little time has elapsed since when Q1 was created - Q2 has the same ioprio as Q1 - Q2 belongs to the same group as Q1 Merging bfq_queues also reduces scheduling overhead. A fio test with ten random readers on /dev/nullb shows a throughput boost of 40%, with a quadcore. Since BFQ's execution time amounts to ~50% of the total per-request processing time, the above throughput boost implies that BFQ's overhead is reduced by more than 50%.

Shared queues are likely to receive I/O at a high rate. This may deceptively let them be considered as wakers of other queues. But a false waker will unjustly steal bandwidth to its supposedly woken queue. So considering also shared queues in the waking mechanism may cause more control troubles than throughput benefits.

Consider a bfq_queue bfqq that is about to be merged with another bfq_queue new_bfqq. The processes associated with bfqq are cooperators of the processes associated with new_bfqq. So, if bfqq has a waker, then it is reasonable (and beneficial for throughput) to assume that all these processes will be happy to let bfqq's waker freely inject I/O when they have no I/O.

2021-03-25block, bfq: always inject I/O of queues blocked by wakersPaolo Valente1-5/+27
Suppose that I/O dispatch is plugged, to wait for new I/O for the in-service bfq-queue, say bfqq. Suppose then that there is a further bfq_queue woken by bfqq, and that this woken queue has pending I/O. A woken queue does not steal bandwidth from bfqq, because it remains soon without I/O if bfqq is not served. So there is virtually no risk of loss of bandwidth for bfqq if this woken queue has I/O dispatched while bfqq is waiting for new I/O. In contrast, this extra I/O injection boosts throughput. This commit performs this extra injection.

This reverts commit 6d4d273588378c65915acaf7b2ee74e9dd9c130a. bfq.limit_depth passes word_depths[] as shallow_depth down to sbitmap core sbitmap_get_shallow, which uses just the number to limit the scan depth of each bitmap word, formula: scan_percentage_for_each_word = shallow_depth / (1 << sbimap->shift) * 100% That means the comments's percentiles 50%, 75%, 18%, 37% of bfq are correct. But after commit patch 'bfq: Fix computation of shallow depth', we use sbitmap.depth instead, as a example in following case: sbitmap.depth = 256, map_nr = 4, shift = 6; sbitmap_word.depth = 64. The resulsts of computed bfqd->word_depths[] are {128, 192, 48, 96}, and three of the numbers exceed core dirver's 'sbitmap_word.depth=64' limit nothing.

Currently whenever bfq queue has a request queued we add now - last_completion_time to the think time statistics. This is however misleading in case the process is able to submit several requests in parallel because e.g. if the queue has request completed at time T0 and then queues new requests at times T1, T2, then we will add T1-T0 and T2-T0 to think time statistics which just doesn't make any sence (the queue's think time is penalized by the queue being able to submit more IO). So add to think time statistics only time intervals when the queue had no IO pending.

2021-01-27bfq: Avoid false bfq queue mergingJan Kara1-0/+1
bfq_setup_cooperator() uses bfqd->in_serv_last_pos so detect whether it makes sense to merge current bfq queue with the in-service queue. However if the in-service queue is freshly scheduled and didn't dispatch any requests yet, bfqd->in_serv_last_pos is stale and contains value from the previously scheduled bfq queue which can thus result in a bogus decision that the two queues should be merged. This bug can be observed for example with the following fio jobfile: [global] direct=0 ioengine=sync invalidate=1 size=1g rw=read [reader] numjobs=4 directory=/mnt where the 4 processes will end up in the one shared bfq queue although they do IO to physically very distant files (for some reason I was able to observe this only with slice_idle=1ms setting). Fix the problem by invalidating bfqd->in_serv_last_pos when switching in-service queue.

This commits preserves I/O-dispatch plugging for a special symmetric case that may suddenly turn into asymmetric: the case where only one bfq_queue, say bfqq, is busy. In this case, not expiring bfqq does not cause any harm to any other queues in terms of service guarantees. In contrast, it avoids the following unlucky sequence of events: (1) bfqq is expired, (2) a new queue with a lower weight than bfqq becomes busy (or more queues), (3) the new queue is served until a new request arrives for bfqq, (4) when bfqq is finally served, there are so many requests of the new queue in the drive that the pending requests for bfqq take a lot of time to be served. In particular, event (2) may case even already dispatched requests of bfqq to be delayed, inside the drive. So, to avoid this series of events, the scenario is preventively declared as asymmetric also if bfqq is the only busy queues. By doing so, I/O-dispatch plugging is performed for bfqq.

2021-01-25block, bfq: avoid spurious switches to soft_rt of interactive queuesPaolo Valente1-20/+37
BFQ tags some bfq_queues as interactive or soft_rt if it deems that these bfq_queues contain the I/O of, respectively, interactive or soft real-time applications. BFQ privileges both these special types of bfq_queues over normal bfq_queues. To privilege a bfq_queue, BFQ mainly raises the weight of the bfq_queue. In particular, soft_rt bfq_queues get a higher weight than interactive bfq_queues. A bfq_queue may turn from interactive to soft_rt. And this leads to a tricky issue. Soft real-time applications usually start with an I/O-bound, interactive phase, in which they load themselves into main memory. BFQ correctly detects this phase, and keeps the bfq_queues associated with the application in interactive mode for a while. Problems arise when the I/O pattern of the application finally switches to soft real-time. One of the conditions for a bfq_queue to be deemed as soft_rt is that the bfq_queue does not consume too much bandwidth. But the bfq_queues associated with a soft real-time application consume as much bandwidth as they can in the loading phase of the application. So, after the application becomes truly soft real-time, a lot of time should pass before the average bandwidth consumed by its bfq_queues finally drops to a value acceptable for soft_rt bfq_queues. As a consequence, there might be a time gap during which the application is not privileged at all, because its bfq_queues are not interactive any longer, but cannot be deemed as soft_rt yet. To avoid this problem, BFQ pretends that an interactive bfq_queue consumes zero bandwidth, and allows an interactive bfq_queue to switch to soft_rt. Yet, this fake zero-bandwidth consumption easily causes the bfq_queue to often switch to soft_rt deceptively, during its loading phase. As in soft_rt mode, the bfq_queue gets its bandwidth correctly computed, and therefore soon switches back to interactive. Then it switches again to soft_rt, and so on. These spurious fluctuations usually cause losses of throughput, because they deceive BFQ's mechanisms for boosting throughput (injection, I/O-plugging avoidance, ...). This commit addresses this issue as follows: 1) It does compute actual bandwidth consumption also for interactive bfq_queues. This avoids the above false positives. 2) When a bfq_queue switches from interactive to normal mode, the consumed bandwidth is reset (forgotten). This allows the bfq_queue to enjoy soft_rt very quickly. In particular, two alternatives are possible in this switch: - the bfq_queue still has backlog, and therefore there is a budget already scheduled to serve the bfq_queue; in this case, the scheduling of the current budget of the bfq_queue is not hindered, because only the scheduling of the next budget will be affected by the weight drop. After that, if the bfq_queue is actually in a soft_rt phase, and becomes empty during the service of its current budget, which is the natural behavior of a soft_rt bfq_queue, then the bfq_queue will be considered as soft_rt when its next I/O arrives. If, in contrast, the bfq_queue remains constantly non-empty, then its next budget will be scheduled with a low weight, which is the natural treatment for an I/O-bound (non soft_rt) bfq_queue. - the bfq_queue is empty; in this case, the bfq_queue may be considered unjustly soft_rt when its new I/O arrives. Yet the problem is now much smaller than before, because it is unlikely that more than one spurious fluctuation occurs.

2021-01-25block, bfq: do not raise non-default weightsPaolo Valente1-3/+7
BFQ heuristics try to detect interactive I/O, and raise the weight of the queues containing such an I/O. Yet, if also the user changes the weight of a queue (i.e., the user changes the ioprio of the process associated with that queue), then it is most likely better to prevent BFQ heuristics from silently changing the same weight.

2021-01-25block, bfq: set next_rq to waker_bfqq->next_rq in waker injectionJia Cheng Hu1-1/+1
Since commit c5089591c3ba ("block, bfq: detect wakers and unconditionally inject their I/O"), when the in-service bfq_queue, say Q, is temporarily empty, BFQ checks whether there are I/O requests to inject (also) from the waker bfq_queue for Q. To this goal, the value pointed by bfqq->waker_bfqq->next_rq must be controlled. However, the current implementation mistakenly looks at bfqq->next_rq, which instead points to the next request of the currently served queue. This mistake evidently causes losses of throughput in scenarios with waker bfq_queues. This commit corrects this mistake.

2021-01-25block, bfq: use half slice_idle as a threshold to check short ttimePaolo Valente1-3/+4
The value of the I/O plugging (idling) timeout is used also as the think-time threshold to decide whether a process has a short think time. In this respect, a good value of this timeout for rotational drives is un the order of several ms. Yet, this is often too long a time interval to be effective as a think-time threshold. This commit mitigates this problem (by a lot, according to tests), by halving the threshold.

2021-01-05bfq: Fix computation of shallow depthJan Kara1-4/+4
BFQ computes number of tags it allows to be allocated for each request type based on tag bitmap. However it uses 1 << bitmap.shift as number of available tags which is wrong. 'shift' is just an internal bitmap value containing logarithm of how many bits bitmap uses in each bitmap word. Thus number of tags allowed for some request types can be far to low. Use proper bitmap.depth which has the number of tags instead. Signed-off-by: Jan Kara <jack@suse.cz> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@kernel.dk>

2020-09-04blk-mq, elevator: Count requests per hctx to improve performanceKashyap Desai1-0/+5
High CPU utilization on "native_queued_spin_lock_slowpath" due to lock contention is possible for mq-deadline and bfq IO schedulers when nr_hw_queues is more than one. It is because kblockd work queue can submit IO from all online CPUs (through blk_mq_run_hw_queues()) even though only one hctx has pending commands. The elevator callback .has_work for mq-deadline and bfq scheduler considers pending work if there are any IOs on request queue but it does not account hctx context. Add a per-hctx 'elevator_queued' count to the hctx to avoid triggering the elevator even though there are no requests queued.

In bfq_idle_slice_timer func, bfqq = bfqd->in_service_queue is not in bfqd-lock critical section. The bfqq, which is not equal to NULL in bfq_idle_slice_timer, may be freed after passing to bfq_idle_slice_timer_body. So we will access the freed memory. In addition, considering the bfqq may be in race, we should firstly check whether bfqq is in service before doing something on it in bfq_idle_slice_timer_body func. If the bfqq in race is not in service, it means the bfqq has been expired through __bfq_bfqq_expire func, and wait_request flags has been cleared in __bfq_bfqd_reset_in_service func. So we do not need to re-clear the wait_request of bfqq which is not in service.

2020-02-03block, bfq: do not insert oom queue into position treePaolo Valente1-0/+4
BFQ maintains an ordered list, implemented with an RB tree, of head-request positions of non-empty bfq_queues. This position tree, inherited from CFQ, is used to find bfq_queues that contain I/O close to each other. BFQ merges these bfq_queues into a single shared queue, if this boosts throughput on the device at hand. There is however a special-purpose bfq_queue that does not participate in queue merging, the oom bfq_queue. Yet, also this bfq_queue could be wrongly added to the position tree. So bfqq_find_close() could return the oom bfq_queue, which is a source of further troubles in an out-of-memory situation. This commit prevents the oom bfq_queue from being inserted into the position tree.

Commit 478de3380c1c ("block, bfq: deschedule empty bfq_queues not referred by any process") fixed commit 3726112ec731 ("block, bfq: re-schedule empty queues if they deserve I/O plugging") by descheduling an empty bfq_queue when it remains with not process reference. Yet, this still left a case uncovered: an empty bfq_queue with not process reference that remains in service. This happens for an in-service sync bfq_queue that is deemed to deserve I/O-dispatch plugging when it remains empty. Yet no new requests will arrive for such a bfq_queue if no process sends requests to it any longer. Even worse, the bfq_queue may happen to be prematurely freed while still in service (because there may remain no reference to it any longer). This commit solves this problem by preventing I/O dispatch from being plugged for the in-service bfq_queue, if the latter has no process reference (the bfq_queue is then prevented from remaining in service).

2019-11-14block, bfq: deschedule empty bfq_queues not referred by any processPaolo Valente1-6/+26
Since commit 3726112ec731 ("block, bfq: re-schedule empty queues if they deserve I/O plugging"), to prevent the service guarantees of a bfq_queue from being violated, the bfq_queue may be left busy, i.e., scheduled for service, even if empty (see comments in __bfq_bfqq_expire() for details). But, if no process will send requests to the bfq_queue any longer, then there is no point in keeping the bfq_queue scheduled for service. In addition, keeping the bfq_queue scheduled for service, but with no process reference any longer, may cause the bfq_queue to be freed when descheduled from service. But this is assumed to never happen, and causes a UAF if it happens. This, in turn, caused crashes [1, 2]. This commit fixes this issue by descheduling an empty bfq_queue when it remains with not process reference.
