This is because bdev holds on to disk but disk doesn't pin the
associated queue. 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.

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.

A user reported a regression due to commit
4853abaae7e4a2af938115ce9071ef8684fb7af4 (block: fix flush
machinery for stacking drivers with differring flush flags).
Part of the problem is that blk_insert_flush required a
single bio be attached to the request. In reality, having
no attached bio is also a valid case, as can be observed with
an empty flush.

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".
So this patch tries to remove all the work of controling complete cpu
from a bio.

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.

This happens because blk_queue_cleanup() destroys the queue and
elevator whether IOs are in progress or not and DEAD tests are
sprinkled in the request processing path without proper
synchronization.
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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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(),

The bug is we're not able to remove the device from blkio cgroup's
per-device control files if it gets unplugged.
To reproduce the bug:
# mount -t cgroup -o blkio xxx /cgroup
# cd /cgroup
# echo "8:0 1000" > blkio.throttle.read_bps_device
# unplug the device
# cat blkio.throttle.read_bps_device
8:0 1000
# echo "8:0 0" > blkio.throttle.read_bps_device
-bash: echo: write error: No such device
After patching, the device removal will succeed.

Thus spake Andrew Morton:
"And I have the usual maintainability whine. If someone comes up to
vmscan.c and sees it calling blk_start_plug(), how are they supposed to
work out why that call is there? They go look at the blk_start_plug()
definition and it is undocumented. I think we can do better than this?"

Move all the checks performed on a bio into a new helper, and call it as
soon as bio is submitted even if it is a re-submission from ->make_request.
We explicitly mark the new helper as beeing non-inlined as the stack
usage for printing the block device name in the failure case is quite
high and this a patch where we have to be extremely conservative about
stack usage.

In __blk_complete_request, we check both QUEUE_FLAG_SAME_COMP and req->cpu
to decide whether we should use req->cpu. Actually the user can also
select the complete cpu by either setting BIO_CPU_AFFINE or by calling
bio_set_completion_cpu. Current solution makes these 2 ways don't work
any more. So we'd better just check req->cpu.

There is very little benefit in allowing to let a ->make_request
instance update the bios device and sector and loop around it in
__generic_make_request when we can archive the same through calling
generic_make_request from the driver and letting the loop in
generic_make_request handle it.
Note that various drivers got the return value from ->make_request and
returned non-zero values for errors.

This patch allows the user to set an "alias" of the disk via sysfs interface.
This patch only adds a new attribute "alias" in gendisk structure.
To show the alias instead of the device name in kernel messages,
we need to revise printk messages and use alias_name() in them.
Example:
(current) printk("disk name is %s\n", disk->disk_name);
(new) printk("disk name is %s\n", alias_name(disk));
Users can use alphabets, numbers, '-' and '_' in "alias" attribute. A disk can
have an "alias" which length is up to 255 bytes. This attribute is write-once.

Cleaning up the code a little bit. attempt_plug_merge() traverses the plug
list anyway, we can do the request counting there, so stack size is reduced
a little bit.
The motivation here is I suspect if we should count the requests for each
queue (task could handle multiple disks in the meantime), but my test doesn't
show it's worthy doing. If somebody proves we should do it, below change
will make that more easier.

There are cases where suppressing partition scan is useful - e.g. for
lo devices and pseudo SATA devices which advertise to be a disk but
get upset on partition scan (some port multiplier control devices show
such behavior).
This patch adds GENHD_FL_NO_PART_SCAN which suppresses partition scan
regardless of the number of possible partitions. disk_partitionable()
is renamed to disk_part_scan_enabled() as suppressing partition scan
doesn't imply the device can't be partitioned using
BLKPG_ADD/DEL_PARTITION calls from userland. show_partition() now
directly tests disk_max_parts() to maintain backward-compatibility.
-v2: Updated to make it clear that only partition scan is suppressed
not partitioning itself as suggested by Kay Sievers.

We have a kernel build regression since 3.1-rc1, which is about 10%
regression. The kernel source is in an ext3 filesystem.

Apparently this is caused by lack metadata preemption, where ext3/ext4
do use READ_META. I didn't see a way to fix the issue, so suggest
reverting the patch.

Commit ae1b1539622fb46e51b4d13b3f9e5f4c713f86ae, block: reimplement
FLUSH/FUA to support merge, introduced a performance regression when
running any sort of fsyncing workload using dm-multipath and certain
storage (in our case, an HP EVA). The test I ran was fs_mark, and it
dropped from ~800 files/sec on ext4 to ~100 files/sec. It turns out
that dm-multipath always advertised flush+fua support, and passed
commands on down the stack, where those flags used to get stripped off.
The above commit changed that behavior:
static inline struct request *__elv_next_request(struct request_queue *q)
{
struct request *rq;
while (1) {
- while (!list_empty(&q->queue_head)) {
+ if (!list_empty(&q->queue_head)) {
rq = list_entry_rq(q->queue_head.next);
- if (!(rq->cmd_flags & (REQ_FLUSH | REQ_FUA)) ||
- (rq->cmd_flags & REQ_FLUSH_SEQ))
- return rq;
- rq = blk_do_flush(q, rq);
- if (rq)
- return rq;
+ return rq;
}
Note that previously, a command would come in here, have
REQ_FLUSH|REQ_FUA set, and then get handed off to blk_do_flush:
struct request *blk_do_flush(struct request_queue *q, struct request *rq)
{
unsigned int fflags = q->flush_flags; /* may change, cache it */
bool has_flush = fflags & REQ_FLUSH, has_fua = fflags & REQ_FUA;
bool do_preflush = has_flush && (rq->cmd_flags & REQ_FLUSH);
bool do_postflush = has_flush && !has_fua && (rq->cmd_flags &
REQ_FUA);
unsigned skip = 0;
...
if (blk_rq_sectors(rq) && !do_preflush && !do_postflush) {
rq->cmd_flags &= ~REQ_FLUSH;
if (!has_fua)
rq->cmd_flags &= ~REQ_FUA;
return rq;
}
So, the flush machinery was bypassed in such cases (q->flush_flags == 0
&& rq->cmd_flags & (REQ_FLUSH|REQ_FUA)).
Now, however, we don't get into the flush machinery at all. Instead,
__elv_next_request just hands a request with flush and fua bits set to
the scsi_request_fn, even if the underlying request_queue does not
support flush or fua.
The agreed upon approach is to fix the flush machinery to allow
stacking. While this isn't used in practice (since there is only one
request-based dm target, and that target will now reflect the flush
flags of the underlying device), it does future-proof the solution, and
make it function as designed.
In order to make this work, I had to add a field to the struct request,
inside the flush structure (to store the original req->end_io). Shaohua
had suggested overloading the union with rb_node and completion_data,
but the completion data is used by device mapper and can also be used by
other drivers. So, I didn't see a way around the additional field.
I tested this patch on an HP EVA with both ext4 and xfs, and it recovers
the lost performance. Comments and other testers, as always, are
appreciated.

Jeff

This patch reverts commit 35ae66e0a09ab70ed(block: Make rq_affinity = 1
work as expected). The purpose is to avoid an unnecessary IPI.
Let's take an example. My test box has cpu 0-7, one socket. Say request is
added from CPU 1, blk_complete_request() occurs at CPU 7. Without the reverted
patch, softirq will be done at CPU 7. With it, an IPI will be directed to CPU
0, and softirq will be done at CPU 0. In this case, doing softirq at CPU 0 and
CPU 7 have no difference from cache sharing point view and we can avoid an
ipi if doing it in CPU 7.
An immediate concern is this is just like QUEUE_FLAG_SAME_FORCE, but actually
not. blk_complete_request() is running in interrupt handler, and currently
I/O controller doesn't support multiple interrupts (I checked several LSI
cards and AHCI), so only one CPU can run blk_complete_request(). This is
still quite different as QUEUE_FLAG_SAME_FORCE.
Since only one CPU runs softirq, the only difference with below patch is
softirq not always runs at the first CPU of a group.

blk_insert_flush has the following check:
/*
* If there's data but flush is not necessary, the request can be
* processed directly without going through flush machinery. Queue
* for normal execution.
*/
if ((policy & REQ_FSEQ_DATA) &&
!(policy & (REQ_FSEQ_PREFLUSH | REQ_FSEQ_POSTFLUSH))) {
list_add_tail(&rq->queuelist, &q->queue_head);
return;
}
However, blk_flush_policy will not return with policy set to only
REQ_FSEQ_DATA:
static unsigned int blk_flush_policy(unsigned int fflags, struct request *rq)
{
unsigned int policy = 0;
if (fflags & REQ_FLUSH) {
if (rq->cmd_flags & REQ_FLUSH)
policy |= REQ_FSEQ_PREFLUSH;
if (blk_rq_sectors(rq))
policy |= REQ_FSEQ_DATA;
if (!(fflags & REQ_FUA) && (rq->cmd_flags & REQ_FUA))
policy |= REQ_FSEQ_POSTFLUSH;
}
return policy;
}
Notice that REQ_FSEQ_DATA is only set if REQ_FLUSH is set. Fix this
mismatch by moving the setting of REQ_FSEQ_DATA outside of the REQ_FLUSH
check.
Tejun notes:
Hmmm... yes, this can become a correctness issue if (and only if)
blk_queue_flush() is called to change q->flush_flags while requests
are in-flight; otherwise, requests wouldn't reach the function at all.
Also, I think it would be a generally good idea to always set
FSEQ_DATA if the request has data.

Commit 5757a6d76c introduced a new rq_affinity = 2 so as to make
the request completed in the __make_request cpu. But it makes the
old rq_affinity = 1 not work any more. The root cause is that
if the 'cpu' and 'req->cpu' is in the same group and cpu != req->cpu,
ccpu will be the same as group_cpu, so the completion will be
excuted in the 'cpu' not 'group_cpu'.
This patch fix problem by simpling removing group_cpu and the codes
are more explicit now. If ccpu == cpu, we complete in cpu, otherwise
we raise_blk_irq to ccpu.
