Merge tag 'for-4.21/block-20181221' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux-block
Pull block updates from Jens Axboe: "This is the main pull request for block/storage for 4.21. Larger than usual, it was a busy round with lots of goodies queued up. Most notable is the removal of the old IO stack, which has been a long time coming. No new features for a while, everything coming in this week has all been fixes for things that were previously merged. This contains: - Use atomic counters instead of semaphores for mtip32xx (Arnd) - Cleanup of the mtip32xx request setup (Christoph) - Fix for circular locking dependency in loop (Jan, Tetsuo) - bcache (Coly, Guoju, Shenghui) * Optimizations for writeback caching * Various fixes and improvements - nvme (Chaitanya, Christoph, Sagi, Jay, me, Keith) * host and target support for NVMe over TCP * Error log page support * Support for separate read/write/poll queues * Much improved polling * discard OOM fallback * Tracepoint improvements - lightnvm (Hans, Hua, Igor, Matias, Javier) * Igor added packed metadata to pblk. Now drives without metadata per LBA can be used as well. * Fix from Geert on uninitialized value on chunk metadata reads. * Fixes from Hans and Javier to pblk recovery and write path. * Fix from Hua Su to fix a race condition in the pblk recovery code. * Scan optimization added to pblk recovery from Zhoujie. * Small geometry cleanup from me. - Conversion of the last few drivers that used the legacy path to blk-mq (me) - Removal of legacy IO path in SCSI (me, Christoph) - Removal of legacy IO stack and schedulers (me) - Support for much better polling, now without interrupts at all. blk-mq adds support for multiple queue maps, which enables us to have a map per type. This in turn enables nvme to have separate completion queues for polling, which can then be interrupt-less. Also means we're ready for async polled IO, which is hopefully coming in the next release. - Killing of (now) unused block exports (Christoph) - Unification of the blk-rq-qos and blk-wbt wait handling (Josef) - Support for zoned testing with null_blk (Masato) - sx8 conversion to per-host tag sets (Christoph) - IO priority improvements (Damien) - mq-deadline zoned fix (Damien) - Ref count blkcg series (Dennis) - Lots of blk-mq improvements and speedups (me) - sbitmap scalability improvements (me) - Make core inflight IO accounting per-cpu (Mikulas) - Export timeout setting in sysfs (Weiping) - Cleanup the direct issue path (Jianchao) - Export blk-wbt internals in block debugfs for easier debugging (Ming) - Lots of other fixes and improvements" * tag 'for-4.21/block-20181221' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux-block: (364 commits) kyber: use sbitmap add_wait_queue/list_del wait helpers sbitmap: add helpers for add/del wait queue handling block: save irq state in blkg_lookup_create() dm: don't reuse bio for flushes nvme-pci: trace SQ status on completions nvme-rdma: implement polling queue map nvme-fabrics: allow user to pass in nr_poll_queues nvme-fabrics: allow nvmf_connect_io_queue to poll nvme-core: optionally poll sync commands block: make request_to_qc_t public nvme-tcp: fix spelling mistake "attepmpt" -> "attempt" nvme-tcp: fix endianess annotations nvmet-tcp: fix endianess annotations nvme-pci: refactor nvme_poll_irqdisable to make sparse happy nvme-pci: only set nr_maps to 2 if poll queues are supported nvmet: use a macro for default error location nvmet: fix comparison of a u16 with -1 blk-mq: enable IO poll if .nr_queues of type poll > 0 blk-mq: change blk_mq_queue_busy() to blk_mq_queue_inflight() blk-mq: skip zero-queue maps in blk_mq_map_swqueue ...

-3.2.5 Generic request command tagging
-
-3.2.5.1 Tag helpers
-
-Block now offers some simple generic functionality to help support command
-queueing (typically known as tagged command queueing), ie manage more than
-one outstanding command on a queue at any given time.
-
- blk_queue_init_tags(struct request_queue *q, int depth)
-
- Initialize internal command tagging structures for a maximum
- depth of 'depth'.
-
- blk_queue_free_tags((struct request_queue *q)
-
- Teardown tag info associated with the queue. This will be done
- automatically by block if blk_queue_cleanup() is called on a queue
- that is using tagging.
-
-The above are initialization and exit management, the main helpers during
-normal operations are:
-
- blk_queue_start_tag(struct request_queue *q, struct request *rq)
-
- Start tagged operation for this request. A free tag number between
- 0 and 'depth' is assigned to the request (rq->tag holds this number),
- and 'rq' is added to the internal tag management. If the maximum depth
- for this queue is already achieved (or if the tag wasn't started for
- some other reason), 1 is returned. Otherwise 0 is returned.
-
- blk_queue_end_tag(struct request_queue *q, struct request *rq)
-
- End tagged operation on this request. 'rq' is removed from the internal
- book keeping structures.
-
-To minimize struct request and queue overhead, the tag helpers utilize some
-of the same request members that are used for normal request queue management.
-This means that a request cannot both be an active tag and be on the queue
-list at the same time. blk_queue_start_tag() will remove the request, but
-the driver must remember to call blk_queue_end_tag() before signalling
-completion of the request to the block layer. This means ending tag
-operations before calling end_that_request_last()! For an example of a user
-of these helpers, see the IDE tagged command queueing support.
-
-3.2.5.2 Tag info
-
-Some block functions exist to query current tag status or to go from a
-tag number to the associated request. These are, in no particular order:
-
- blk_queue_tagged(q)
-
- Returns 1 if the queue 'q' is using tagging, 0 if not.
-
- blk_queue_tag_request(q, tag)
-
- Returns a pointer to the request associated with tag 'tag'.
-
- blk_queue_tag_depth(q)
-
- Return current queue depth.
-
- blk_queue_tag_queue(q)
-
- Returns 1 if the queue can accept a new queued command, 0 if we are
- at the maximum depth already.
-
- blk_queue_rq_tagged(rq)
-
- Returns 1 if the request 'rq' is tagged.
-
-3.2.5.2 Internal structure
-
-Internally, block manages tags in the blk_queue_tag structure:
-
- struct blk_queue_tag {
- struct request **tag_index; /* array or pointers to rq */
- unsigned long *tag_map; /* bitmap of free tags */
- struct list_head busy_list; /* fifo list of busy tags */
- int busy; /* queue depth */
- int max_depth; /* max queue depth */
- };
-
-Most of the above is simple and straight forward, however busy_list may need
-a bit of explaining. Normally we don't care too much about request ordering,
-but in the event of any barrier requests in the tag queue we need to ensure
-that requests are restarted in the order they were queue.

-CFQ (Complete Fairness Queueing)
-===============================
-
-The main aim of CFQ scheduler is to provide a fair allocation of the disk
-I/O bandwidth for all the processes which requests an I/O operation.
-
-CFQ maintains the per process queue for the processes which request I/O
-operation(synchronous requests). In case of asynchronous requests, all the
-requests from all the processes are batched together according to their
-process's I/O priority.
-
-CFQ ioscheduler tunables
-========================
-
-slice_idle
-----------
-This specifies how long CFQ should idle for next request on certain cfq queues
-(for sequential workloads) and service trees (for random workloads) before
-queue is expired and CFQ selects next queue to dispatch from.
-
-By default slice_idle is a non-zero value. That means by default we idle on
-queues/service trees. This can be very helpful on highly seeky media like
-single spindle SATA/SAS disks where we can cut down on overall number of
-seeks and see improved throughput.
-
-Setting slice_idle to 0 will remove all the idling on queues/service tree
-level and one should see an overall improved throughput on faster storage
-devices like multiple SATA/SAS disks in hardware RAID configuration. The down
-side is that isolation provided from WRITES also goes down and notion of
-IO priority becomes weaker.
-
-So depending on storage and workload, it might be useful to set slice_idle=0.
-In general I think for SATA/SAS disks and software RAID of SATA/SAS disks
-keeping slice_idle enabled should be useful. For any configurations where
-there are multiple spindles behind single LUN (Host based hardware RAID
-controller or for storage arrays), setting slice_idle=0 might end up in better
-throughput and acceptable latencies.
-
-back_seek_max
--------------
-This specifies, given in Kbytes, the maximum "distance" for backward seeking.
-The distance is the amount of space from the current head location to the
-sectors that are backward in terms of distance.
-
-This parameter allows the scheduler to anticipate requests in the "backward"
-direction and consider them as being the "next" if they are within this
-distance from the current head location.
-
-back_seek_penalty
------------------
-This parameter is used to compute the cost of backward seeking. If the
-backward distance of request is just 1/back_seek_penalty from a "front"
-request, then the seeking cost of two requests is considered equivalent.
-
-So scheduler will not bias toward one or the other request (otherwise scheduler
-will bias toward front request). Default value of back_seek_penalty is 2.
-
-fifo_expire_async
------------------
-This parameter is used to set the timeout of asynchronous requests. Default
-value of this is 248ms.
-
-fifo_expire_sync
-----------------
-This parameter is used to set the timeout of synchronous requests. Default
-value of this is 124ms. In case to favor synchronous requests over asynchronous
-one, this value should be decreased relative to fifo_expire_async.
-
-group_idle
------------
-This parameter forces idling at the CFQ group level instead of CFQ
-queue level. This was introduced after a bottleneck was observed
-in higher end storage due to idle on sequential queue and allow dispatch
-from a single queue. The idea with this parameter is that it can be run with
-slice_idle=0 and group_idle=8, so that idling does not happen on individual
-queues in the group but happens overall on the group and thus still keeps the
-IO controller working.
-Not idling on individual queues in the group will dispatch requests from
-multiple queues in the group at the same time and achieve higher throughput
-on higher end storage.
-
-Default value for this parameter is 8ms.
-
-low_latency
------------
-This parameter is used to enable/disable the low latency mode of the CFQ
-scheduler. If enabled, CFQ tries to recompute the slice time for each process
-based on the target_latency set for the system. This favors fairness over
-throughput. Disabling low latency (setting it to 0) ignores target latency,
-allowing each process in the system to get a full time slice.
-
-By default low latency mode is enabled.
-
-target_latency
---------------
-This parameter is used to calculate the time slice for a process if cfq's
-latency mode is enabled. It will ensure that sync requests have an estimated
-latency. But if sequential workload is higher(e.g. sequential read),
-then to meet the latency constraints, throughput may decrease because of less
-time for each process to issue I/O request before the cfq queue is switched.
-
-Though this can be overcome by disabling the latency_mode, it may increase
-the read latency for some applications. This parameter allows for changing
-target_latency through the sysfs interface which can provide the balanced
-throughput and read latency.
-
-Default value for target_latency is 300ms.
-
-slice_async
------------
-This parameter is same as of slice_sync but for asynchronous queue. The
-default value is 40ms.
-
-slice_async_rq
---------------
-This parameter is used to limit the dispatching of asynchronous request to
-device request queue in queue's slice time. The maximum number of request that
-are allowed to be dispatched also depends upon the io priority. Default value
-for this is 2.
-
-slice_sync
-----------
-When a queue is selected for execution, the queues IO requests are only
-executed for a certain amount of time(time_slice) before switching to another
-queue. This parameter is used to calculate the time slice of synchronous
-queue.
-
-time_slice is computed using the below equation:-
-time_slice = slice_sync + (slice_sync/5 * (4 - prio)). To increase the
-time_slice of synchronous queue, increase the value of slice_sync. Default
-value is 100ms.
-
-quantum
--------
-This specifies the number of request dispatched to the device queue. In a
-queue's time slice, a request will not be dispatched if the number of request
-in the device exceeds this parameter. This parameter is used for synchronous
-request.
-
-In case of storage with several disk, this setting can limit the parallel
-processing of request. Therefore, increasing the value can improve the
-performance although this can cause the latency of some I/O to increase due
-to more number of requests.
-
-CFQ Group scheduling
-====================
-
-CFQ supports blkio cgroup and has "blkio." prefixed files in each
-blkio cgroup directory. It is weight-based and there are four knobs
-for configuration - weight[_device] and leaf_weight[_device].
-Internal cgroup nodes (the ones with children) can also have tasks in
-them, so the former two configure how much proportion the cgroup as a
-whole is entitled to at its parent's level while the latter two
-configure how much proportion the tasks in the cgroup have compared to
-its direct children.
-
-Another way to think about it is assuming that each internal node has
-an implicit leaf child node which hosts all the tasks whose weight is
-configured by leaf_weight[_device]. Let's assume a blkio hierarchy
-composed of five cgroups - root, A, B, AA and AB - with the following
-weights where the names represent the hierarchy.
-
- weight leaf_weight
- root : 125 125
- A : 500 750
- B : 250 500
- AA : 500 500
- AB : 1000 500
-
-root never has a parent making its weight is meaningless. For backward
-compatibility, weight is always kept in sync with leaf_weight. B, AA
-and AB have no child and thus its tasks have no children cgroup to
-compete with. They always get 100% of what the cgroup won at the
-parent level. Considering only the weights which matter, the hierarchy
-looks like the following.
-
- root
- / | \
- A B leaf
- 500 250 125
- / | \
- AA AB leaf
- 500 1000 750
-
-If all cgroups have active IOs and competing with each other, disk
-time will be distributed like the following.
-
-Distribution below root. The total active weight at this level is
-A:500 + B:250 + C:125 = 875.
-
- root-leaf : 125 / 875 =~ 14%
- A : 500 / 875 =~ 57%
- B(-leaf) : 250 / 875 =~ 28%
-
-A has children and further distributes its 57% among the children and
-the implicit leaf node. The total active weight at this level is
-AA:500 + AB:1000 + A-leaf:750 = 2250.
-
- A-leaf : ( 750 / 2250) * A =~ 19%
- AA(-leaf) : ( 500 / 2250) * A =~ 12%
- AB(-leaf) : (1000 / 2250) * A =~ 25%
-
-CFQ IOPS Mode for group scheduling
-===================================
-Basic CFQ design is to provide priority based time slices. Higher priority
-process gets bigger time slice and lower priority process gets smaller time
-slice. Measuring time becomes harder if storage is fast and supports NCQ and
-it would be better to dispatch multiple requests from multiple cfq queues in
-request queue at a time. In such scenario, it is not possible to measure time
-consumed by single queue accurately.
-
-What is possible though is to measure number of requests dispatched from a
-single queue and also allow dispatch from multiple cfq queue at the same time.
-This effectively becomes the fairness in terms of IOPS (IO operations per
-second).
-
-If one sets slice_idle=0 and if storage supports NCQ, CFQ internally switches
-to IOPS mode and starts providing fairness in terms of number of requests
-dispatched. Note that this mode switching takes effect only for group
-scheduling. For non-cgroup users nothing should change.
-
-CFQ IO scheduler Idling Theory
-===============================
-Idling on a queue is primarily about waiting for the next request to come
-on same queue after completion of a request. In this process CFQ will not
-dispatch requests from other cfq queues even if requests are pending there.
-
-The rationale behind idling is that it can cut down on number of seeks
-on rotational media. For example, if a process is doing dependent
-sequential reads (next read will come on only after completion of previous
-one), then not dispatching request from other queue should help as we
-did not move the disk head and kept on dispatching sequential IO from
-one queue.
-
-CFQ has following service trees and various queues are put on these trees.
-
- sync-idle sync-noidle async
-
-All cfq queues doing synchronous sequential IO go on to sync-idle tree.
-On this tree we idle on each queue individually.
-
-All synchronous non-sequential queues go on sync-noidle tree. Also any
-synchronous write request which is not marked with REQ_IDLE goes on this
-service tree. On this tree we do not idle on individual queues instead idle
-on the whole group of queues or the tree. So if there are 4 queues waiting
-for IO to dispatch we will idle only once last queue has dispatched the IO
-and there is no more IO on this service tree.
-
-All async writes go on async service tree. There is no idling on async
-queues.
-
-CFQ has some optimizations for SSDs and if it detects a non-rotational
-media which can support higher queue depth (multiple requests at in
-flight at a time), then it cuts down on idling of individual queues and
-all the queues move to sync-noidle tree and only tree idle remains. This
-tree idling provides isolation with buffered write queues on async tree.
-
-FAQ
-===
-Q1. Why to idle at all on queues not marked with REQ_IDLE.
-
-A1. We only do tree idle (all queues on sync-noidle tree) on queues not marked
- with REQ_IDLE. This helps in providing isolation with all the sync-idle
- queues. Otherwise in presence of many sequential readers, other
- synchronous IO might not get fair share of disk.
-
- For example, if there are 10 sequential readers doing IO and they get
- 100ms each. If a !REQ_IDLE request comes in, it will be scheduled
- roughly after 1 second. If after completion of !REQ_IDLE request we
- do not idle, and after a couple of milli seconds a another !REQ_IDLE
- request comes in, again it will be scheduled after 1second. Repeat it
- and notice how a workload can lose its disk share and suffer due to
- multiple sequential readers.
-
- fsync can generate dependent IO where bunch of data is written in the
- context of fsync, and later some journaling data is written. Journaling
- data comes in only after fsync has finished its IO (atleast for ext4
- that seemed to be the case). Now if one decides not to idle on fsync
- thread due to !REQ_IDLE, then next journaling write will not get
- scheduled for another second. A process doing small fsync, will suffer
- badly in presence of multiple sequential readers.
-
- Hence doing tree idling on threads using !REQ_IDLE flag on requests
- provides isolation from multiple sequential readers and at the same
- time we do not idle on individual threads.
-
-Q2. When to specify REQ_IDLE
-A2. I would think whenever one is doing synchronous write and expecting
- more writes to be dispatched from same context soon, should be able
- to specify REQ_IDLE on writes and that probably should work well for
- most of the cases.
