Here the implicit dependency on the css is removed. The association

Previously, blkg's were only assigned as needed by blk-iolatency and

This patch begins the cleanup of bio->css and bio->bi_blkg by always
associating a blkg in blkcg_bio_issue_check. This tries to create the
blkg, but if it is not possible, falls back to using the root_blkg of
the request_queue. Therefore, a bio will always be associated with a

This patch implements the notion of closest blkg. During
blkg_lookup_create, if it fails to create, return the closest blkg

To know when to create a blkg, the general pattern is to do a
blkg_lookup and if that fails, lock and then do a lookup again and if
that fails finally create. It doesn't make much sense for everyone who
wants to do creation to write this themselves.
This changes blkg_lookup_create to do locking and implement this
pattern. The old blkg_lookup_create is renamed to __blkg_lookup_create.
If a call site wants to do its own error handling or already owns the
queue lock, they can use __blkg_lookup_create. This will be used in

The accessor function bio_blkcg either returns the blkcg associated with
the bio or finds one in the current context. This can cause an issue
when trying to associate a bio with a blkcg. Particularly, it's the
third case that is problematic:
return css_to_blkcg(task_css(current, io_cgrp_id));
As the above may race against task migration and the cgroup exiting, it
is not always ok to take a reference on the blkcg returned from
bio_blkcg.
This patch adds association ahead of calling bio_blkcg rather than
after. This makes association a required and explicit step along the
code paths for calling bio_blkcg. blk_get_rl is modified as well to get
a reference to the blkcg it may use and blk_put_rl will always put the
reference back. Association is also moved above the bio_blkcg call to
ensure it will not return NULL in blk-iolatency.
BFQ and CFQ utilize this flaw, but due to the complexity, I do not want
to address this in this series. I've created a private version of the
function with notes not to use it describing the flaw. Hopefully soon,
that code can be cleaned up.

To reduce latency for interactive and soft real-time applications, bfq
privileges the bfq_queues containing the I/O of these
applications. These privileged queues, referred-to as weight-raised
queues, get a much higher share of the device throughput
w.r.t. non-privileged queues. To preserve this higher share, the I/O
of any non-weight-raised queue must be plugged whenever a sync
weight-raised queue, while being served, remains temporarily empty. To
attain this goal, bfq simply plugs any I/O (from any queue), if a sync
weight-raised queue remains empty while in service.
Unfortunately, this plugging typically lowers throughput with random
I/O, on devices with internal queueing (because it reduces the filling
level of the internal queues of the device).
This commit addresses this issue by restricting the cases where
plugging is performed: if a sync weight-raised queue remains empty
while in service, then I/O plugging is performed only if some of the
active bfq_queues are *not* weight-raised (which is actually the only
circumstance where plugging is needed to preserve the higher share of
the throughput of weight-raised queues). This restriction proved able
to boost throughput in really many use cases needing only maximum
throughput.

The Achilles' heel of BFQ is its failing to reach a high throughput
with sync random I/O on flash storage with internal queueing, in case
the processes doing I/O have differentiated weights.
The cause of this failure is as follows. If at least two processes do
sync I/O, and have a different weight from each other, then BFQ plugs
I/O dispatching every time one of these processes, while it is being
served, remains temporarily without pending I/O requests. This
plugging is necessary to guarantee that every process enjoys a
bandwidth proportional to its weight; but it empties the internal
queue(s) of the drive. And this kills throughput with random I/O. So,
if some processes have differentiated weights and do both sync and
random I/O, the end result is a throughput collapse.
This commit tries to counter this problem by injecting the service of
other processes, in a controlled way, while the process in service
happens to have no I/O. This injection is performed only if the medium
is non rotational and performs internal queueing, and the process in
service does random I/O (service injection might be beneficial for
sequential I/O too, we'll work on that).
As an example of the benefits of this commit, on a PLEXTOR PX-256M5S
SSD, and with five processes having differentiated weights and doing
sync random 4KB I/O, this commit makes the throughput with bfq grow by
400%, from 25 to 100MB/s. This higher throughput is 10MB/s lower than
that reached with none. As some less random I/O is added to the mix,
the throughput becomes equal to or higher than that with none.
This commit is a very first attempt to recover throughput without
losing control, and certainly has many limitations. One is, e.g., that
the processes whose service is injected are not chosen so as to
distribute the extra bandwidth they receive in accordance to their
weights. Thus there might be loss of weighted fairness in some
cases. Anyway, this loss concerns extra service, which would not have
been received at all without this commit. Other limitations and issues
will probably show up with usage.

BFQ schedules entities (which represent either per-process queues or
groups of queues) as a function of their timestamps. In particular, as
a function of their (virtual) finish times. The finish time of an
entity is computed as a function of the budget assigned to the entity,
assuming, tentatively, that the entity, once in service, will receive
an amount of service equal to its budget. Then, when the entity is
expired because it finishes to be served, this finish time is updated
as a function of the actual service received by the entity. This
allows the entity to be correctly charged with only the service
received, and then to be correctly re-scheduled.
Yet an entity may receive service also while not being the entity in
service (in the scheduling environment of its parent entity), for
several reasons. If the entity remains with no backlog while receiving
this 'unofficial' service, then it is expired. Also on such an
expiration, the finish time of the entity should be updated to account
for only the service actually received by the entity. Unfortunately,
such an update is not performed for an entity expiring without being
the entity in service.
In a similar vein, the service counter of the entity in service is
reset when the entity is expired, to be ready to be used for next
service cycle. This reset too should be performed also in case an
entity is expired because it remains empty after receiving service
while not being the entity in service. But in this case the reset is
not performed.
This commit performs the above update of the finish time and reset of
the service received, also for an entity expiring while not being the
entity in service.

4) unnecessary updating of .bi_done in fast path

given now bio_rewind_iter() is only used by bio integrity code.

Currently, blkcg destruction relies on a sequence of events:
1. Destruction starts. blkcg_css_offline() is called and blkgs
release their reference to the blkcg. This immediately destroys
the cgwbs (writeback).
2. With blkgs giving up their reference, the blkcg ref count should
become zero and eventually call blkcg_css_free() which finally
frees the blkcg.
Jiufei Xue reported that there is a race between blkcg_bio_issue_check()
and cgroup_rmdir(). To remedy this, blkg destruction becomes contingent
on the completion of all writeback associated with the blkcg. A count of
the number of cgwbs is maintained and once that goes to zero, blkg
destruction can follow. This should prevent premature blkg destruction
related to writeback.
The new process for blkcg cleanup is as follows:
1. Destruction starts. blkcg_css_offline() is called which offlines
writeback. Blkg destruction is delayed on the cgwb_refcnt count to
avoid punting potentially large amounts of outstanding writeback
to root while maintaining any ongoing policies. Here, the base
cgwb_refcnt is put back.
2. When the cgwb_refcnt becomes zero, blkcg_destroy_blkgs() is called
and handles destruction of blkgs. This is where the css reference
held by each blkg is released.
3. Once the blkcg ref count goes to zero, blkcg_css_free() is called.
This finally frees the blkg.
It seems in the past blk-throttle didn't do the most understandable
things with taking data from a blkg while associating with current. So,
the simplification and unification of what blk-throttle is doing caused
this.

This reverts commit 4c6994806f.
Destroying blkgs is tricky because of the nature of the relationship. A
blkg should go away when either a blkcg or a request_queue goes away.
However, blkg's pin the blkcg to ensure they remain valid. To break this
cycle, when a blkcg is offlined, blkgs put back their css ref. This
eventually lets css_free() get called which frees the blkcg.
The above commit (4c6994806f) breaks this order of events by trying to
destroy blkgs in css_free(). As the blkgs still hold references to the
blkcg, css_free() is never called.
The race between blkcg_bio_issue_check() and cgroup_rmdir() will be
addressed in the following patch by delaying destruction of a blkg until
all writeback associated with the blkcg has been finished.

This patch removes the duplicate initialization of q->queue_head
in the blk_alloc_queue_node(). This removes the 2nd initialization
so that we preserve the initialization order same as declaration
present in struct request_queue.

Because blk_do_io_stat() only does a judgement about the request
contributes to IO statistics, it better changes return type to bool.

The value that struct cftype .write() method returns is then directly
returned to userspace as the value returned by write() syscall, so it
should be the number of bytes actually written (or consumed) and not zero.
Returning zero from write() syscall makes programs like /bin/echo or bash
spin.

bfq_bfqq_charge_time contains some lengthy and redundant code. This
commit trims and condenses that code.

When a sync request is dispatched, the queue that contains that
request, and all the ancestor entities of that queue, are charged with
the number of sectors of the request. In constrast, if the request is
async, then the queue and its ancestor entities are charged with the
number of sectors of the request, multiplied by an overcharge
factor. This throttles the bandwidth for async I/O, w.r.t. to sync
I/O, and it is done to counter the tendency of async writes to steal
I/O throughput to reads.
On the opposite end, the lower this parameter, the stabler I/O
control, in the following respect. The lower this parameter is, the
less the bandwidth enjoyed by a group decreases
- when the group does writes, w.r.t. to when it does reads;
- when other groups do reads, w.r.t. to when they do writes.
The fixes "block, bfq: always update the budget of an entity when
needed" and "block, bfq: readd missing reset of parent-entity service"
improved I/O control in bfq to such an extent that it has been
possible to revise this overcharge factor downwards. This commit
introduces the resulting, new value.

When the next child entity to serve changes for a given parent entity,
the budget of that parent entity must be updated accordingly.
Unfortunately, this update is not performed, by mistake, for the
entities that happen to switch from having no child entity to serve,
to having one child entity to serve.

The received-service counter needs to be equal to 0 when an entity is
set in service. Unfortunately, commit "block, bfq: fix service being
wrongly set to zero in case of preemption" mistakenly removed the
resetting of this counter for the parent entities of the bfq_queue
being set in service. This commit fixes this issue by resetting
service for parent entities, directly on the expiration of the
in-service bfq_queue.

On wbt invariant is that if one IO is tracked via WBT_TRACKED, rqw->inflight
should be updated for tracking this IO.
But commit c1c80384c8 ("block: remove external dependency on wbt_flags")
forgets to remove the early handling of !rwb_enabled(rwb) inside wbt_wait(),
then the inflight counter may not be increased in wbt_wait(), but decreased
in wbt_done() for this kind of IO, so this counter may become negative, then
wbt_wait() may wait forever.
This patch fixes the report in the following link:
