This provides a band-aid to provide stable page writes on jbd without
needing to backport the fixed locking and page writeback bit handling
schemes of jbd2. The band-aid works by using bounce buffers to snapshot
page contents instead of waiting.
For those wondering about the ext3 bandage -- fixing the jbd locking
(which was done as part of ext4dev years ago) is a lot of surgery, and
setting PG_writeback on data pages when we actually hold the page lock
dropped ext3 performance by nearly an order of magnitude. If we're
going to migrate iscsi and raid to use stable page writes, the
complaints about high latency will likely return. We might as well
centralize their page snapshotting thing to one place.

Some request_fn implementations, e.g. scsi_request_fn(), unlock
the queue lock internally. This may result in multiple threads
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.

Running a queue must continue after it has been marked dying until
it has been marked dead. So the function blk_run_queue_async() must
not schedule delayed work after blk_cleanup_queue() has marked a queue
dead. Hence add a test for that queue state in blk_run_queue_async()
and make sure that queue_unplugged() invokes that function with the
queue lock held. This avoids that the queue state can change after
it has been tested and before mod_delayed_work() is invoked. Drop
the queue dying test in queue_unplugged() since it is now
superfluous: __blk_run_queue() already tests whether or not the
queue is dead.

A block driver may start cleaning up resources needed by its
request_fn as soon as blk_cleanup_queue() finished, so request_fn
must not be invoked after draining finished. This is important
when blk_run_queue() is invoked without any requests in progress.
As an example, if blk_drain_queue() and scsi_run_queue() run in
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.

QUEUE_FLAG_DEAD is used to indicate that queuing new requests must
stop. After this flag has been set queue draining starts. However,
during the queue draining phase it is still safe to invoke the
queue's request_fn, so QUEUE_FLAG_DYING is a better name for this
flag.
This patch has been generated by running the following command
over the kernel source tree:
git grep -lEw 'blk_queue_dead|QUEUE_FLAG_DEAD' |
xargs sed -i.tmp -e 's/blk_queue_dead/blk_queue_dying/g' \

From above messages,we can find rq[W 7493144 + 104] and rq[W

Because the bio order is:

8,16 0 6641 2.453639842 2579 G W 7493120 + 8 [md0_raid5]
The bio(7493144) first and bio(7493120) later.So the subsequent
bios will be divided into two parts.
When flushing plug-list,because elv_attempt_insert_merge only support
backmerge,not supporting frontmerge.
So rq[7493120 + 24] can't merge with rq[7493144 + 104].
From my test,i found those situation can count 25% in our system.
Using this patch, there is no this situation.

- Make bio_split() work on data-less bio's (like trim/discards).
- A few other minor fixups."
Fixed up silent semantic mis-merge as per Mikulas Patocka and Andrew
Morton. It is due to the VM no longer using a prio-tree (see commit
6b2dbba8b6ac: "mm: replace vma prio_tree with an interval tree").
So make set_blocksize() use mapping_mapped() instead of open-coding the
internal VM knowledge that has changed.

Pull workqueue changes from Tejun Heo:
"This is workqueue updates for v3.7-rc1. A lot of activities this
round including considerable API and behavior cleanups.
* delayed_work combines a timer and a work item. The handling of the
timer part has always been a bit clunky leading to confusing
cancelation API with weird corner-case behaviors. delayed_work is
updated to use new IRQ safe timer and cancelation now works as
expected.
* Another deficiency of delayed_work was lack of the counterpart of
mod_timer() which led to cancel+queue combinations or open-coded
timer+work usages. mod_delayed_work[_on]() are added.
These two delayed_work changes make delayed_work provide interface
and behave like timer which is executed with process context.
* A work item could be executed concurrently on multiple CPUs, which
is rather unintuitive and made flush_work() behavior confusing and
half-broken under certain circumstances. This problem doesn't
exist for non-reentrant workqueues. While non-reentrancy check
isn't free, the overhead is incurred only when a work item bounces
across different CPUs and even in simulated pathological scenario
the overhead isn't too high.
All workqueues are made non-reentrant. This removes the
distinction between flush_[delayed_]work() and
flush_[delayed_]_work_sync(). The former is now as strong as the
latter and the specified work item is guaranteed to have finished
execution of any previous queueing on return.
* In addition to the various bug fixes, Lai redid and simplified CPU
hotplug handling significantly.
* Joonsoo introduced system_highpri_wq and used it during CPU
hotplug.
There are two merge commits - one to pull in IRQ safe timer from
tip/timers/core and the other to pull in CPU hotplug fixes from
wq/for-3.6-fixes as Lai's hotplug restructuring depended on them."
Fixed a number of trivial conflicts, but the more interesting conflicts
were silent ones where the deprecated interfaces had been used by new
code in the merge window, and thus didn't cause any real data conflicts.

A queue newly allocated with blk_alloc_queue_node() has only
QUEUE_FLAG_BYPASS set. For request-based drivers,
blk_init_allocated_queue() is called and q->queue_flags is overwritten
with QUEUE_FLAG_DEFAULT which doesn't include BYPASS even though the
initial bypass is still in effect.
In blk_init_allocated_queue(), or QUEUE_FLAG_DEFAULT to q->queue_flags
instead of overwriting.

blk_init_allocated_queue()
b82d4b197c ("blkcg: make request_queue bypassing on allocation") made
request_queues bypassed on allocation to avoid switching on and off
bypass mode on a queue being initialized. Some drivers allocate and
then destroy a lot of queues without fully initializing them and
incurring bypass latency overhead on each of them could add upto
significant overhead.
Unfortunately, blk_init_allocated_queue() is never used by queues of
bio-based drivers, which means that all bio-based driver queues are in
bypass mode even after initialization and registration complete
successfully.
Due to the limited way request_queues are used by bio drivers, this
problem is hidden pretty well but it shows up when blk-throttle is
used in combination with a bio-based driver. Trying to configure
(echoing to cgroupfs file) blk-throttle for a bio-based driver hangs
indefinitely in blkg_conf_prep() waiting for bypass mode to end.
This patch moves the initial blk_queue_bypass_end() call from
blk_init_allocated_queue() to blk_register_queue() which is called for
any userland-visible queues regardless of its type.
I believe this is correct because I don't think there is any block
driver which needs or wants working elevator and blk-cgroup on a queue
which isn't visible to userland. If there are such users, we need a
different solution.

The WRITE SAME command supported on some SCSI devices allows the same
block to be efficiently replicated throughout a block range. Only a
single logical block is transferred from the host and the storage device
writes the same data to all blocks described by the I/O.
This patch implements support for WRITE SAME in the block layer. The
blkdev_issue_write_same() function can be used by filesystems and block
drivers to replicate a buffer across a block range. This can be used to
efficiently initialize software RAID devices, etc.

Previously, there was bio_clone() but it only allocated from the fs bio
set; as a result various users were open coding it and using
__bio_clone().
This changes bio_clone() to become bio_clone_bioset(), and then we add
bio_clone() and bio_clone_kmalloc() as wrappers around it, making use of
the functionality the last patch adedd.
This will also help in a later patch changing how bio cloning works.

Now that we've got generic code for freeing bios allocated from bio
pools, this isn't needed anymore.
This patch also makes bio_free() static, since without bi_destructor
there should be no need for it to be called anywhere else.
bio_free() is now only called from bio_put, so we can refactor those a
bit - move some code from bio_put() to bio_free() and kill the redundant
bio->bi_next = NULL.

When performing a cable pull test w/ active stress I/O using fio over
a dual port Intel 82599 FCoE CNA, w/ 256LUNs on one port and about 32LUNs
on the other, it is observed that the system becomes not usable due to
scsi-ml being busy printing the error messages for all the failing commands.
I don't believe this problem is specific to FCoE and these commands are
anyway failing due to link being down (DID_NO_CONNECT), just rate-limit
the messages here to solve this issue.
v2->v1: use __ratelimit() as Tomas Henzl mentioned as the proper way for
rate-limit per function. However, in this case, the failed i/o gets to
blk_end_request_err() and then blk_update_request(), which also has to
be rate-limited, as added in the v2 of this patch.

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

Currently, there are two request allocation functions - get_request()
and get_request_wait(). The former tries to allocate a request once
and the latter keeps retrying until it succeeds. The latter wraps the
former and keeps retrying until allocation succeeds.
The combination of two functions deliver fallible non-wait allocation,
fallible wait allocation and unfailing wait allocation. However,
given that forward progress is guaranteed, fallible wait allocation
isn't all that useful and in fact nobody uses it.
This patch simplifies the interface as follows.
* get_request() is renamed to __get_request() and is only used by the
wrapper function.
* get_request_wait() is renamed to get_request(). It now takes
@gfp_mask and retries iff it contains %__GFP_WAIT.
This patch doesn't introduce any functional change and is to prepare
for further updates to request allocation path.

Commit 777eb1bf15b8532c396821774bf6451e563438f5 disconnects externally
supplied queue_lock before blk_drain_queue(). Switching the lock would
introduce lock unbalance because theads which have taken the external
lock might unlock the internal lock in the during the queue drain. This
patch mitigate this by disconnecting the lock after the queue draining
since queue draining makes a lot of request_queue users go away.
However, please note, this patch only makes the problem less likely to
happen. Anyone who still holds a ref might try to issue a new request on
a dead queue after the blk_cleanup_queue() finishes draining, the lock
unbalance might still happen in this case.

After hot-unplug a stressed disk, I found that rl->wait[] is not empty
while rl->count[] is empty and there are theads still sleeping on
get_request after the queue cleanup. With simple debug code, I found
there are exactly nr_sleep - nr_wakeup of theads in D state. So there
are missed wakeup.
$ dmesg | grep nr_sleep
[ 52.917115] ---> nr_sleep=1046, nr_wakeup=873, delta=173
$ vmstat 1
1 173 0 712640 24292 96172 0 0 0 0 419 757 0 0 0 100 0
To quote Tejun:
Ah, okay, freed_request() wakes up single waiter with the assumption
that after the wakeup there will at least be one successful allocation
which in turn will continue the wakeup chain until the wait list is
empty - ie. waiter wakeup is dependent on successful request
allocation happening after each wakeup. With queue marked dead, any
woken up waiter fails the allocation path, so the wakeup chaining is
lost and we're left with hung waiters. What we need is wake_up_all()
after drain completion.
This patch fixes the missed wakeup by waking up all the theads which
are sleeping on wait queue after queue drain.

Request allocation is mempool backed to guarantee forward progress
under memory pressure; unfortunately, this property got broken while
adding elvpriv data. Failures during elvpriv allocation, including
ioc and icq creation failures, currently make get_request() fail as
whole. There's no forward progress guarantee for these allocations -
they may fail indefinitely under memory pressure stalling IO and
deadlocking the system.
This patch updates get_request() such that elvpriv allocation failure
doesn't make the whole function fail. If elvpriv allocation fails,
the allocation is degraded into !ELVPRIV. This will force the request
to ELEVATOR_INSERT_BACK disturbing scheduling but elvpriv alloc
failures should be rare (nothing is per-request) and anything is
better than deadlocking.

With the previous change to guarantee bypass visiblity for RCU read
lock regions, entering bypass mode involves non-trivial overhead and
future changes are scheduled to make use of bypass mode during init
path. Combined it may end up adding noticeable delay during boot.
This patch makes request_queue start its life in bypass mode, which is
ended on queue init completion at the end of
blk_init_allocated_queue(), and updates blk_queue_bypass_start() such
that draining and RCU synchronization are performed only when the
queue actually enters bypass mode.
This avoids unnecessarily switching in and out of bypass mode during
init avoiding the overhead and any nasty surprises which may step from
leaving bypass mode on half-initialized queues.

Currently, blkg_lookup() doesn't check @q bypass state. This patch
updates blk_queue_bypass_start() to do synchronize_rcu() before
returning and updates blkg_lookup() to check blk_queue_bypass() and

We do auto block plug flush to reduce latency, the threshold is 16
requests. This works well if the task is accessing one or two drives.
The problem is if the task is accessing a raid 0 device and the raid
disk number is big, say 8 or 16, 16/8 = 2 or 16/16=1, we will have
heavy lock contention.
This patch makes the threshold per-disk based. The latency should be
still ok accessing one or two drives. The setup with application
accessing a lot of drives in the meantime uaually is big machine,
avoiding lock contention is more important, because any contention
will actually increase latency.

IO scheduling and cgroup are tied to the issuing task via io_context
and cgroup of %current. Unfortunately, there are cases where IOs need
to be routed via a different task which makes scheduling and cgroup
limit enforcement applied completely incorrectly.
For example, all bios delayed by blk-throttle end up being issued by a
delayed work item and get assigned the io_context of the worker task
which happens to serve the work item and dumped to the default block
cgroup. This is double confusing as bios which aren't delayed end up
in the correct cgroup and makes using blk-throttle and cfq propio
together impossible.
Any code which punts IO issuing to another task is affected which is
getting more and more common (e.g. btrfs). As both io_context and
cgroup are firmly tied to task including userland visible APIs to
manipulate them, it makes a lot of sense to match up tasks to bios.
This patch implements bio_associate_current() which associates the
specified bio with %current. The bio will record the associated ioc
and blkcg at that point and block layer will use the recorded ones
regardless of which task actually ends up issuing the bio. bio
release puts the associated ioc and blkcg.
It grabs and remembers ioc and blkcg instead of the task itself
because task may already be dead by the time the bio is issued making
ioc and blkcg inaccessible and those are all block layer cares about.
elevator_set_req_fn() is updated such that the bio elvdata is being
allocated for is available to the elevator.
This doesn't update block cgroup policies yet. Further patches will
implement the support.

Currently, blkg is per cgroup-queue-policy combination. This is
unnatural and leads to various convolutions in partially used
duplicate fields in blkg, config / stat access, and general management
of blkgs.
This patch make blkg's per cgroup-queue and let them serve all
policies. blkgs are now created and destroyed by blkcg core proper.
This will allow further consolidation of common management logic into
blkcg core and API with better defined semantics and layering.
As a transitional step to untangle blkg management, elvswitch and
policy [de]registration, all blkgs except the root blkg are being shot
down during elvswitch and bypass. This patch adds blkg_root_update()
to update root blkg in place on policy change. This is hacky and racy
but should be good enough as interim step until we get locking
simplified and switch over to proper in-place update for all blkgs.
-v2: Root blkgs need to be updated on elvswitch too and blkg_alloc()
comment wasn't updated according to the function change. Fixed.
Both pointed out by Vivek.
-v3: v2 updated blkg_destroy_all() to invoke update_root_blkg_pd() for
all policies. This freed root pd during elvswitch before the
last queue finished exiting and led to oops. Directly invoke
update_root_blkg_pd() only on BLKIO_POLICY_PROP from
cfq_exit_queue(). This also is closer to what will be done with
proper in-place blkg update. Reported by Vivek.

For root blkg, blk_throtl_init() was using throtl_alloc_tg()
explicitly and cfq_init_queue() was manually initializing embedded
cfqd->root_group, adding unnecessarily different code paths to blkg
handling.
Make both use the usual blkio_group get functions - throtl_get_tg()
and cfq_get_cfqg() - for the root blkio_group too. Note that
blk_throtl_init() callsite is pushed downwards in
blk_alloc_queue_node() so that @q is sufficiently initialized for
throtl_get_tg().
This simplifies root blkg handling noticeably for cfq and will allow
further modularization of blkcg API.
-v2: Vivek pointed out that using cfq_get_cfqg() won't work if
CONFIG_CFQ_GROUP_IOSCHED is disabled. Fix it by factoring out
initialization of base part of cfqg into cfq_init_cfqg_base() and
