2025-10-15blk-mq: fix elevator depth_updated methodYu Kuai1-1/+1
[ Upstream commit 7d337eef4affc5e26e0570513168c69ddbc40f92 ] Current depth_updated has some problems: 1) depth_updated() will be called for each hctx, while all elevators will update async_depth for the disk level, this is not related to hctx; 2) In blk_mq_update_nr_requests(), if previous hctx update succeed and this hctx update failed, q->nr_requests will not be updated, while async_depth is already updated with new nr_reqeuests in previous depth_updated(); 3) All elevators are using q->nr_requests to calculate async_depth now, however, q->nr_requests is still the old value when depth_updated() is called from blk_mq_update_nr_requests(); Those problems are first from error path, then mq-deadline, and recently for bfq and kyber, fix those problems by: - pass in request_queue instead of hctx; - move depth_updated() after q->nr_requests is updated in blk_mq_update_nr_requests(); - add depth_updated() call inside init_sched() method to initialize async_depth; - remove init_hctx() method for mq-deadline and bfq that is useless now; Fixes: 77f1e0a52d26 ("bfq: update internal depth state when queue depth changes") Fixes: 39823b47bbd4 ("block/mq-deadline: Fix the tag reservation code") Fixes: 42e6c6ce03fd ("lib/sbitmap: convert shallow_depth from one word to the whole sbitmap") Signed-off-by: Yu Kuai <yukuai3@huawei.com> Reviewed-by: Hannes Reinecke <hare@suse.de> Reviewed-by: Li Nan <linan122@huawei.com> Reviewed-by: Nilay Shroff <nilay@linux.ibm.com> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20250821060612.1729939-2-yukuai1@huaweicloud.com Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@kernel.dk> Signed-off-by: Sasha Levin <sashal@kernel.org>
2025-07-30block: fix lockdep warning caused by lock dependency in elv_iosched_storeNilay Shroff1-2/+12
Recent lockdep reports [1] have revealed a potential deadlock caused by a lock dependency between the percpu allocator lock and the elevator lock. This issue can be avoided by ensuring that the allocation and release of scheduler tags (sched_tags) are performed outside the elevator lock. Furthermore, the queue does not need to be remain frozen during these operations. To address this, move all sched_tags allocations and deallocations outside of both the ->elevator_lock and the ->freeze_lock. Since the lifetime of the elevator queue and its associated sched_tags is closely tied, the allocated sched_tags are now stored in the elevator queue structure. Then, during the actual elevator switch (which runs under ->freeze_lock and ->elevator_lock), the pre-allocated sched_tags are assigned to the appropriate q->hctx. Once the elevator switch is complete and the locks are released, the old elevator queue and its associated sched_tags are freed. This commit specifically addresses the allocation/deallocation of sched_ tags during elevator switching. Note that sched_tags may also be allocated in other contexts, such as during nr_hw_queues updates. Supporting that use case will require batch allocation/deallocation, which will be handled in a follow-up patch. This restructuring ensures that sched_tags memory management occurs entirely outside of the ->elevator_lock and ->freeze_lock context, eliminating the lock dependency problem seen during scheduler updates.

2025-07-30block: move elevator queue allocation logic into blk_mq_init_schedNilay Shroff1-1/+1
In preparation for allocating sched_tags before freezing the request queue and acquiring ->elevator_lock, move the elevator queue allocation logic from the elevator ops ->init_sched callback into blk_mq_init_sched. As elevator_alloc is now only invoked from block layer core, we don't need to export it, so unexport elevator_alloc function. This refactoring provides a centralized location for elevator queue initialization, which makes it easier to store pre-allocated sched_tags in the struct elevator_queue during later changes.

2025-03-10block: introduce a dedicated lock for protecting queue elevator updatesNilay Shroff1-2/+0
A queue's elevator can be updated either when modifying nr_hw_queues or through the sysfs scheduler attribute. Currently, elevator switching/ updating is protected using q->sysfs_lock, but this has led to lockdep splats[1] due to inconsistent lock ordering between q->sysfs_lock and the freeze-lock in multiple block layer call sites. As the scope of q->sysfs_lock is not well-defined, its (mis)use has resulted in numerous lockdep warnings. To address this, introduce a new q->elevator_lock, dedicated specifically for protecting elevator switches/updates. And we'd now use this new q->elevator_lock instead of q->sysfs_lock for protecting elevator switches/updates. While at it, make elv_iosched_load_module() a static function, as it is only called from elv_iosched_store(). Also, remove redundant parameters from elv_iosched_load_module() function signature.

2024-09-10block: Prevent deadlocks when switching elevatorsDamien Le Moal1-0/+2
Commit af2814149883 ("block: freeze the queue in queue_attr_store") changed queue_attr_store() to always freeze a sysfs attribute queue before calling the attribute store() method, to ensure that no IOs are in-flight when an attribute value is being updated. However, this change created a potential deadlock situation for the scheduler queue attribute as changing the queue elevator with elv_iosched_store() can result in a call to request_module() if the user requested module is not already registered. If the file of the requested module is stored on the block device of the frozen queue, a deadlock will happen as the read operations triggered by request_module() will wait for the queue freeze to end. Solve this issue by introducing the load_module method in struct queue_sysfs_entry, and to calling this method function in queue_attr_store() before freezing the attribute queue. The macro definition QUEUE_RW_LOAD_MODULE_ENTRY() is added to define a queue sysfs attribute that needs loading a module. The definition of the scheduler atrribute is changed to using QUEUE_RW_LOAD_MODULE_ENTRY(), with the function elv_iosched_load_module() defined as the load_module method. elv_iosched_store() can then be simplified to remove the call to request_module().

2024-04-17block: Remove elevator required featuresDamien Le Moal1-1/+0
The only elevator feature ever implemented is ELEVATOR_F_ZBD_SEQ_WRITE for signaling that a scheduler implements zone write locking to tightly control the dispatching order of write operations to zoned block devices. With the removal of zone write locking support in mq-deadline and the reliance of all block device drivers on the block layer zone write plugging to control ordering of write operations to zones, the elevator feature ELEVATOR_F_ZBD_SEQ_WRITE is completely unused. Remove it, and also remove the now unused code for filtering the possible schedulers for a block device based on required features.
