94eddfbeaa blk-mq: ensure that we set REQ_IO_STAT so diskstats work
If disk stats are enabled on the queue, a request needs to
be marked with REQ_IO_STAT for accounting to be active on
that request. This fixes an issue with virtio-blk not
showing up in /proc/diskstats after the conversion to
blk-mq.

Add QUEUE_FLAG_MQ_DEFAULT, setting stats and same cpu-group
completion on by default.

320ae51fee blk-mq: new multi-queue block IO queueing mechanism
Linux currently has two models for block devices:

- The classic request_fn based approach, where drivers use struct
  request units for IO. The block layer provides various helper
  functionalities to let drivers share code, things like tag
  management, timeout handling, queueing, etc.

- The "stacked" approach, where a driver squeezes in between the
  block layer and IO submitter. Since this bypasses the IO stack,
  driver generally have to manage everything themselves.

With drivers being written for new high IOPS devices, the classic
request_fn based driver doesn't work well enough. The design dates
back to when both SMP and high IOPS was rare. It has problems with
scaling to bigger machines, and runs into scaling issues even on
smaller machines when you have IOPS in the hundreds of thousands
per device.

The stacked approach is then most often selected as the model
for the driver. But this means that everybody has to re-invent
everything, and along with that we get all the problems again
that the shared approach solved.

This commit introduces blk-mq, block multi queue support. The
design is centered around per-cpu queues for queueing IO, which
then funnel down into x number of hardware submission queues.
We might have a 1:1 mapping between the two, or it might be
an N:M mapping. That all depends on what the hardware supports.

blk-mq provides various helper functions, which include:

- Scalable support for request tagging. Most devices need to
  be able to uniquely identify a request both in the driver and
  to the hardware. The tagging uses per-cpu caches for freed
  tags, to enable cache hot reuse.

- Timeout handling without tracking request on a per-device
  basis. Basically the driver should be able to get a notification,
  if a request happens to fail.

- Optional support for non 1:1 mappings between issue and
  submission queues. blk-mq can redirect IO completions to the
  desired location.

- Support for per-request payloads. Drivers almost always need
  to associate a request structure with some driver private
  command structure. Drivers can tell blk-mq this at init time,
  and then any request handed to the driver will have the
  required size of memory associated with it.

- Support for merging of IO, and plugging. The stacked model
  gets neither of these. Even for high IOPS devices, merging
  sequential IO reduces per-command overhead and thus
  increases bandwidth.

For now, this is provided as a potential 3rd queueing model, with
the hope being that, as it matures, it can replace both the classic
and stacked model. That would get us back to having just 1 real
model for block devices, leaving the stacked approach to dm/md
devices (as it was originally intended).

This reference count has been around since before git history, but the only

linux-v3.8-rc1 and later support for plug for blkdev_issue_discard with
commit 0cfbcafcae
(block: add plug for blkdev_issue_discard )

For example,
1) DISCARD rq-1 with size size 4GB
2) DISCARD rq-2 with size size 1GB

In this case, request's __data_len field may overflow as it can store
max 4GB(unsigned int).

This issue was observed while doing mkfs.f2fs on 5GB SD card:

Although this commit was used for the situation which blk_plug handled
multi devices on the same time like md device.
I think there must be some situations like this but only single

So remove the should_sort judgement.
Because the parameter should_sort is only for this purpose,it can delete

59771079c1 blk: avoid divide-by-zero with zero discard granularity
Commit 8dd2cb7e88 ("block: discard granularity might not be power of
2") changed a couple of 'binary and' operations into modulus operations.
Which turned the harmless case of a zero discard_granularity into a
possible divide-by-zero.

The code also had a much more subtle bug: it was doing the modulus of a
value in bytes using 'sector_t'.  That was always conceptually wrong,
but didn't actually matter back when the code assumed a power-of-two
granularity: we only looked at the low bits anyway.

But with potentially arbitrary sector numbers, using a 'sector_t' to
express bytes is very very wrong: depending on configuration it limits
the starting offset of the device to just 32 bits, and any overflow
would result in a wrong value if the modulus wasn't a power-of-two.

So re-write the code to not only protect against the divide-by-zero, but
to do the starting sector arithmetic in sectors, and using the proper
types.

[ For any mathematicians out there: it also looks monumentally stupid to
  do the 'modulo granularity' operation *twice*, never mind having a "+
  granularity" in the second modulus op.

  But that's the easiest way to avoid negative values or overflow, and
  it is how the original code was done. ]

Some request_fn implementations, e.g. scsi_request_fn(), unlock

executing request_fn for the same queue simultaneously. Keep
track of the number of active request_fn calls and make sure that
blk_cleanup_queue() waits until all active request_fn invocations
have finished. A block driver may start cleaning up resources
needed by its request_fn as soon as blk_cleanup_queue() finished,
so blk_cleanup_queue() must wait for all outstanding request_fn
invocations to finish.

A block driver may start cleaning up resources needed by its

parallel, blk_drain_queue() may have finished all requests after
scsi_run_queue() has taken a SCSI device off the starved list but
before that last function has had a chance to run the queue.

c6e666345e block: split discard into aligned requests
When a disk has large discard_granularity and small max_discard_sectors,
discards are not split with optimal alignment.  In the limit case of
discard_granularity == max_discard_sectors, no request could be aligned
correctly, so in fact you might end up with no discarded logical blocks
at all.

Another example that helps showing the condition in the patch is with
discard_granularity == 64, max_discard_sectors == 128.  A request that is
submitted for 256 sectors 2..257 will be split in two: 2..129, 130..257.
However, only 2 aligned blocks out of 3 are included in the request;
128..191 may be left intact and not discarded.  With this patch, the
first request will be truncated to ensure good alignment of what's left,
and the split will be 2..127, 128..255, 256..257.  The patch will also
take into account the discard_alignment.

At most one extra request will be introduced, because the first request
will be reduced by at most granularity-1 sectors, and granularity
must be less than max_discard_sectors.  Subsequent requests will run
on round_down(max_discard_sectors, granularity) sectors, as in the
current code.

a051661ca6 blkcg: implement per-blkg request allocation
Currently, request_queue has one request_list to allocate requests
from regardless of blkcg of the IO being issued.  When the unified
request pool is used up, cfq proportional IO limits become meaningless
- whoever grabs the next request being freed wins the race regardless
of the configured weights.

This can be easily demonstrated by creating a blkio cgroup w/ very low
weight, put a program which can issue a lot of random direct IOs there
and running a sequential IO from a different cgroup.  As soon as the
request pool is used up, the sequential IO bandwidth crashes.

This patch implements per-blkg request_list.  Each blkg has its own
request_list and any IO allocates its request from the matching blkg
making blkcgs completely isolated in terms of request allocation.

* Root blkcg uses the request_list embedded in each request_queue,
  which was renamed to @q->root_rl from @q->rq.  While making blkcg rl
  handling a bit harier, this enables avoiding most overhead for root
  blkcg.

* Queue fullness is properly per request_list but bdi isn't blkcg
  aware yet, so congestion state currently just follows the root
  blkcg.  As writeback isn't aware of blkcg yet, this works okay for
  async congestion but readahead may get the wrong signals.  It's
  better than blkcg completely collapsing with shared request_list but
  needs to be improved with future changes.

* After this change, each block cgroup gets a full request pool making
  resource consumption of each cgroup higher.  This makes allowing
  non-root users to create cgroups less desirable; however, note that
  allowing non-root users to directly manage cgroups is already
  severely broken regardless of this patch - each block cgroup
  consumes kernel memory and skews IO weight (IO weights are not
  hierarchical).

v2: queue-sysfs.txt updated and patch description udpated as suggested
    by Vivek.

v3: blk_get_rl() wasn't checking error return from
    blkg_lookup_create() and may cause oops on lookup failure.  Fix it
    by falling back to root_rl on blkg lookup failures.  This problem
    was spotted by Rakesh Iyer <rni@google.com>.

v4: Updated to accomodate 458f27a982 "block: Avoid missed wakeup in
    request waitqueue".  blk_drain_queue() now wakes up waiters on all
    blkg->rl on the target queue.

5b788ce3e2 block: prepare for multiple request_lists
Request allocation is about to be made per-blkg meaning that there'll
be multiple request lists.

* Make queue full state per request_list.  blk_*queue_full() functions
  are renamed to blk_*rl_full() and takes @rl instead of @q.

* Rename blk_init_free_list() to blk_init_rl() and make it take @rl
  instead of @q.  Also add @gfp_mask parameter.

* Add blk_exit_rl() instead of destroying rl directly from
  blk_release_queue().

* Add request_list->q and make request alloc/free functions -
  blk_free_request(), [__]freed_request(), __get_request() - take @rl
  instead of @q.

extent that mass renaming wouldn't cause any noticeable pain.  Take

* Rename blkio_cgroup to blkcg.

* Drop blkio / blkiocg prefixes and consistently use blkcg.

* Rename blkio_group to blkcg_gq, which is consistent with io_cq but
  keep the blkg prefix / variable name.

* Rename policy method type and field names to signify they're dealing
  with policy data.

* Rename blkio_policy_type to blkcg_policy.

a2b1693bac blkcg: implement per-queue policy activation
All blkcg policies were assumed to be enabled on all request_queues.
Due to various implementation obstacles, during the recent blkcg core
updates, this was temporarily implemented as shooting down all !root
blkgs on elevator switch and policy [de]registration combined with
half-broken in-place root blkg updates.  In addition to being buggy
and racy, this meant losing all blkcg configurations across those
events.

Now that blkcg is cleaned up enough, this patch replaces the temporary
implementation with proper per-queue policy activation.  Each blkcg
policy should call the new blkcg_[de]activate_policy() to enable and
disable the policy on a specific queue.  blkcg_activate_policy()
allocates and installs policy data for the policy for all existing
blkgs.  blkcg_deactivate_policy() does the reverse.  If a policy is
not enabled for a given queue, blkg printing / config functions skip
the respective blkg for the queue.

blkcg_activate_policy() also takes care of root blkg creation, and
cfq_init_queue() and blk_throtl_init() are updated accordingly.

This replaces blkcg_bypass_{start|end}() and update_root_blkg_pd()
unnecessary.  Dropped.

v2: cfq_init_queue() was returning uninitialized @ret on root_group
    alloc failure if !CONFIG_CFQ_GROUP_IOSCHED.  Fixed.

c875f4d025 blkcg: drop unnecessary RCU locking
Now that blkg additions / removals are always done under both q and
blkcg locks, the only places RCU locking is necessary are
blkg_lookup[_create]() for lookup w/o blkcg lock.  This patch drops
unncessary RCU locking replacing it with plain blkcg locking as
necessary.

* blkiocg_pre_destroy() already perform proper locking and don't need
  RCU.  Dropped.

* blkio_read_blkg_stats() now uses blkcg->lock instead of RCU read
  lock.  This isn't a hot path.

* Now unnecessary synchronize_rcu() from queue exit paths removed.
  This makes q->nr_blkgs unnecessary.  Dropped.

* RCU annotation on blkg->q removed.

-v2: Vivek pointed out that blkg_lookup_create() still needs to be
     called under rcu_read_lock().  Updated.

-v3: After the update, stats_lock locking in blkio_read_blkg_stats()
     shouldn't be using _irq variant as it otherwise ends up enabling
     irq while blkcg->lock is locked.  Fixed.

03aa264ac1 blkcg: let blkcg core manage per-queue blkg list and counter
With the previous patch to move blkg list heads and counters to
request_queue and blkg, logic to manage them in both policies are
almost identical and can be moved to blkcg core.

This patch moves blkg link logic into blkg_lookup_create(), implements
common blkg unlink code in blkg_destroy(), and updates
blkg_destory_all() so that it's policy specific and can skip root
group.  The updated blkg_destroy_all() is now used to both clear queue
for bypassing and elv switching, and release all blkgs on q exit.

This patch introduces a race window where policy [de]registration may
race against queue blkg clearing.  This can only be a problem on cfq
unload and shouldn't be a real problem in practice (and we have many
other places where this race already exists).  Future patches will
remove these unlikely races.

4eef304998 blkcg: move per-queue blkg list heads and counters to queue and blkg
Currently, specific policy implementations are responsible for
maintaining list and number of blkgs.  This duplicates code
unnecessarily, and hinders factoring common code and providing blkcg
API with better defined semantics.

After this patch, request_queue hosts list heads and counters and blkg
has list nodes for both policies.  This patch only relocates the
necessary fields and the next patch will actually move management code
into blkcg core.

Note that request_queue->blkg_list[] and ->nr_blkgs[] are hardcoded to
have 2 elements.  This is to avoid include dependency and will be
removed by the next patch.

This patch doesn't introduce any behavior change.

This is to prepare for moving blkg management into blkcg core.  Note

down will be implemented later and given that policy [un]registration

put_io_context() performed a complex trylock dancing to avoid

trylock was always assumed to succeed which resulted in unbalanced

While there are ways to fix the UP breakage, even the most
pathological microbench (forced ioc allocation and tight fork/exit
loop) fails to show any appreciable performance benefit of the
optimization.  Strip it out.  If there turns out to be workloads which
are affected by this change, simpler optimization from the discussion

0bfc96cb77 block: fail SCSI passthrough ioctls on partition devices
Linux allows executing the SG_IO ioctl on a partition or LVM volume, and
will pass the command to the underlying block device.  This is
well-known, but it is also a large security problem when (via Unix
permissions, ACLs, SELinux or a combination thereof) a program or user
needs to be granted access only to part of the disk.

This patch lets partitions forward a small set of harmless ioctls;
others are logged with printk so that we can see which ioctls are
actually sent.  In my tests only CDROM_GET_CAPABILITY actually occurred.
Of course it was being sent to a (partition on a) hard disk, so it would
have failed with ENOTTY and the patch isn't changing anything in
practice.  Still, I'm treating it specially to avoid spamming the logs.

In principle, this restriction should include programs running with
CAP_SYS_RAWIO.  If for example I let a program access /dev/sda2 and
/dev/sdb, it still should not be able to read/write outside the
boundaries of /dev/sda2 independent of the capabilities.  However, for
now programs with CAP_SYS_RAWIO will still be allowed to send the
ioctls.  Their actions will still be logged.

This patch does not affect the non-libata IDE driver.  That driver
however already tests for bd != bd->bd_contains before issuing some
ioctl; it could be restricted further to forbid these ioctls even for
programs running with CAP_SYS_ADMIN/CAP_SYS_RAWIO.

b1bd055d39 block: Introduce blk_set_stacking_limits function
Stacking driver queue limits are typically bounded exclusively by the
capabilities of the low level devices, not by the stacking driver
itself.

This patch introduces blk_set_stacking_limits() which has more liberal
metrics than the default queue limits function. This allows us to
inherit topology parameters from bottom devices without manually
tweaking the default limits in each driver prior to calling the stacking
function.

Since there is now a clear distinction between stacking and low-level
devices, blk_set_default_limits() has been modified to carry the more
conservative values that we used to manually set in
blk_queue_make_request().

b2efa05265 block, cfq: unlink cfq_io_context's immediately
cic is association between io_context and request_queue.  A cic is
linked from both ioc and q and should be destroyed when either one
goes away.  As ioc and q both have their own locks, locking becomes a
bit complex - both orders work for removal from one but not from the
other.

Currently, cfq tries to circumvent this locking order issue with RCU.
ioc->lock nests inside queue_lock but the radix tree and cic's are
also protected by RCU allowing either side to walk their lists without
grabbing lock.

This rather unconventional use of RCU quickly devolves into extremely
fragile convolution.  e.g. The following is from cfqd going away too
soon after ioc and q exits raced.

The only real hot path here is cic lookup during request
initialization and avoiding extra locking requires very confined use
of RCU.  This patch makes cic removal from both ioc and request_queue
perform double-locking and unlink immediately.

* From q side, the change is almost trivial as ioc->lock nests inside
  queue_lock.  It just needs to grab each ioc->lock as it walks
  cic_list and unlink it.

* From ioc side, it's a bit more difficult because of inversed lock
  order.  ioc needs its lock to walk its cic_list but can't grab the
  matching queue_lock and needs to perform unlock-relock dancing.

  Unlinking is now wholly done from put_io_context() and fast path is
  optimized by using the queue_lock the caller already holds, which is
  by far the most common case.  If the ioc accessed multiple devices,
  it tries with trylock.  In unlikely cases of fast path failure, it
  falls back to full double-locking dance from workqueue.

Double-locking isn't the prettiest thing in the world but it's *far*
simpler and more understandable than RCU trick without adding any
meaningful overhead.

This still leaves a lot of now unnecessary RCU logics.  Future patches
will trim them.

-v2: Vivek pointed out that cic->q was being dereferenced after
     cic->release() was called.  Updated to use local variable @this_q
     instead.
