2011-06-09block: make disk_block_events() properly wait for work cancellationTejun Heo
disk_block_events() should guarantee that the event work is not in flight on return and once blocked it shouldn't issue further cancellations. Because there was no synchronization between the first blocker doing cancel_delayed_work_sync() and the following blockers, the following blockers could finish before cancellation was complete, which broke both guarantees - event work could be in flight and cancellation could happen after return. This bug triggered WARN_ON_ONCE() in disk_clear_events() reported in bug#34662. https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=34662 Fix it by adding an outer mutex which protects both block count manipulation and work cancellation. -v2: Use outer mutex instead of bit waitqueue per Linus.

2011-06-09block: don't use non-syncing event blocking in disk_check_events()Tejun Heo
This patch is part of fix for triggering of WARN_ON_ONCE() in disk_clear_events() reported in bug#34662. https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=34662 disk_clear_events() blocks events, schedules and flushes the event work. It expects the work to have started execution on schedule and finished on return from flush. WARN_ON_ONCE() triggers if the event work hasn't executed as expected. This problem happens because __disk_block_events() fails to guarantee that the event work item is not in flight on return from the function in race-free manner. The problem is two-fold and this patch addresses one of them. When __disk_block_events() is called with @sync == %false, it bumps event block count, calls cancel_delayed_work() and return. This makes it impossible to guarantee that event polling is not in flight on return from syncing __disk_block_events() - if the first blocker was non-syncing, polling could still be in progress and later syncing ones would assume that the first blocker already canceled it. Making __disk_block_events() cancel_sync regardless of block count isn't feasible either as it may race with forced event checking in disk_clear_events(). As disk_check_events() is the only user of non-syncing __disk_block_events(), updating it to directly cancel and schedule event work is the easiest way to solve the issue. Note that there's another bug in __disk_block_events() and this patch doesn't fix the issue completely. Later patch will fix the other bug.

2011-06-02iosched: prevent aliased requests from starving other I/OJeff Moyer
Hi, Jens, If you recall, I posted an RFC patch for this back in July of last year: http://lkml.org/lkml/2010/7/13/279 The basic problem is that a process can issue a never-ending stream of async direct I/Os to the same sector on a device, thus starving out other I/O in the system (due to the way the alias handling works in both cfq and deadline). The solution I proposed back then was to start dispatching from the fifo after a certain number of aliases had been dispatched. Vivek asked why we had to treat aliases differently at all, and I never had a good answer. So, I put together a simple patch which allows aliases to be added to the rb tree (it adds them to the right, though that doesn't matter as the order isn't guaranteed anyway). I think this is the preferred solution, as it doesn't break up time slices in CFQ or batches in deadline. I've tested it, and it does solve the starvation issue. Let me know what you think.

2011-05-26cgroups: add per-thread subsystem callbacksBen Blum
Add cgroup subsystem callbacks for per-thread attachment in atomic contexts Add can_attach_task(), pre_attach(), and attach_task() as new callbacks for cgroups's subsystem interface. Unlike can_attach and attach, these are for per-thread operations, to be called potentially many times when attaching an entire threadgroup. Also, the old "bool threadgroup" interface is removed, as replaced by this. All subsystems are modified for the new interface - of note is cpuset, which requires from/to nodemasks for attach to be globally scoped (though per-cpuset would work too) to persist from its pre_attach to attach_task and attach.

2011-05-26block: always allocate genhd->ev if check_events is implementedTejun Heo
9fd097b149 (block: unexport DISK_EVENT_MEDIA_CHANGE for legacy/fringe drivers) removed DISK_EVENT_MEDIA_CHANGE from legacy/fringe block drivers which have inadequate ->check_events(). Combined with earlier change 7c88a168da (block: don't propagate unlisted DISK_EVENTs to userland), this enables using ->check_events() for internal processing while avoiding enabling in-kernel block event polling which can lead to infinite event loop. Unfortunately, this made many drivers including floppy without any bit set in disk->events and ->async_events in which case disk_add_events() simply skipped allocation of disk->ev, which disables whole event handling. As ->check_events() is still used during open processing for revalidation, this can lead to open failure. This patch always allocates disk->ev if ->check_events is implemented. In the long term, it would make sense to simply include the event structure inline into genhd as it's now used by virtually all block devices.

2011-05-20blk-cgroup: Make cgroup stat reset path blkg->lock free for dispatch statsVivek Goyal
Now dispatch stats update is lock free. But reset of these stats still takes blkg->stats_lock and is dependent on that. As stats are per cpu, we should be able to just reset the stats on each cpu without any locks. (Atleast for 64bit arch). On 32bit arch there is a small race where 64bit updates are not atomic. The result of this race can be that in the presence of other writers, one might not get 0 value after reset of a stat and might see something intermediate One can write more complicated code to cover this race like sending IPI to other cpus to reset stats and for offline cpus, reset these directly. Right not I am not taking that path because reset_update is more of a debug feature and it can happen only on 32bit arch and possibility of it happening is small. Will fix it if it becomes a real problem. For the time being going for code simplicity. Signed-off-by: Vivek Goyal <vgoyal@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jaxboe@fusionio.com>

2011-05-20cfq-iosched: Fix a possible race with cfq cgroup removal codeVivek Goyal
blkg->key = cfqd is an rcu protected pointer and hence we used to do call_rcu(cfqd->rcu_head) to free up cfqd after one rcu grace period. The problem here is that even though cfqd is around, there are no gurantees that associated request queue (td->queue) or q->queue_lock is still around. A driver might have called blk_cleanup_queue() and release the lock. It might happen that after freeing up the lock we call blkg->key->queue->queue_ock and crash. This is possible in following path. blkiocg_destroy() blkio_unlink_group_fn() cfq_unlink_blkio_group() Hence, wait for an rcu peirod if there are groups which have not been unlinked from blkcg->blkg_list. That way, if there are any groups which are taking cfq_unlink_blkio_group() path, can safely take queue lock. This is how we have taken care of race in throttling logic also.

2011-05-16blk-throttle: Use task_subsys_state() to determine a task's blkio_cgroupVivek Goyal
Currentlly we first map the task to cgroup and then cgroup to blkio_cgroup. There is a more direct way to get to blkio_cgroup from task using task_subsys_state(). Use that. The real reason for the fix is that it also avoids a race in generic cgroup code. During remount/umount rebind_subsystems() is called and it can do following with and rcu protection. cgrp->subsys[i] = NULL; That means if somebody got hold of cgroup under rcu and then it tried to do cgroup->subsys[] to get to blkio_cgroup, it would get NULL which is wrong. I was running into this race condition with ltp running on a upstream derived kernel and that lead to crash. So ideally we should also fix cgroup generic code to wait for rcu grace period before setting pointer to NULL. Li Zefan is not very keen on introducing synchronize_wait() as he thinks it will slow down moun/remount/umount operations. So for the time being atleast fix the kernel crash by taking a more direct route to blkio_cgroup. One tester had reported a crash while running LTP on a derived kernel and with this fix crash is no more seen while the test has been running for over 6 days.

2011-05-06blkdev: Do not return -EOPNOTSUPP if discard is supportedLukas Czerner
Currently we return -EOPNOTSUPP in blkdev_issue_discard() if any of the bio fails due to underlying device not supporting discard request. However, if the device is for example dm device composed of devices which some of them support discard and some of them does not, it is ok for some bios to fail with EOPNOTSUPP, but it does not mean that discard is not supported at all. This commit removes the check for bios failed with EOPNOTSUPP and change blkdev_issue_discard() to return operation not supported if and only if the device does not actually supports it, not just part of the device as some bios might indicate. This change also fixes problem with BLKDISCARD ioctl() which now works correctly on such dm devices.
