Currently, blkcg policy implementations manage blkg refcnt duplicating
mostly identical code in both policies. This patch moves refcnt to
blkg and let blkcg core handle refcnt and freeing of blkgs.
* cfq blkgs now also get freed via RCU.
* cfq blkgs lose RB_EMPTY_ROOT() sanity check on blkg free. If
necessary, we can add blkio_exit_group_fn() to resurrect this.

Currently, blkg's are embedded in private data blkcg policy private
data structure and thus allocated and freed by policies. This leads
to duplicate codes in policies, hinders implementing common part in
blkcg core with strong semantics, and forces duplicate blkg's for the
same cgroup-q association.
This patch introduces struct blkg_policy_data which is a separate data
structure chained from blkg. Policies specifies the amount of private
data it needs in its blkio_policy_type->pdata_size and blkcg core
takes care of allocating them along with blkg which can be accessed
using blkg_to_pdata(). blkg can be determined from pdata using
pdata_to_blkg(). blkio_alloc_group_fn() method is accordingly updated
to blkio_init_group_fn().
For consistency, tg_of_blkg() and cfqg_of_blkg() are replaced with
blkg_to_tg() and blkg_to_cfqg() respectively, and functions to map in
the reverse direction are added.
Except that policy specific data now lives in a separate data
structure from blkg, this patch doesn't introduce any functional
difference.
This will be used to unify blkg's for different policies.

Keep track of all request_queues which have blkcg initialized and turn
on bypass and invoke blkcg_clear_queue() on all before making changes
to blkcg policies.
This is to prepare for moving blkg management into blkcg core. Note
that this uses more brute force than necessary. Finer grained shoot
down will be implemented later and given that policy [un]registration
almost never happens on running systems (blk-throtl can't be built as
a module and cfq usually is the builtin default iosched), this
shouldn't be a problem for the time being.

Currently block core calls directly into blk-throttle for init, drain
and exit. This patch adds blkcg_{init|drain|exit}_queue() which wraps
the blk-throttle functions. This is to give more control and
visiblity to blkcg core layer for proper layering. Further patches
will add logic common to blkcg policies to the functions.
While at it, collapse blk_throtl_release() into blk_throtl_exit().
There's no reason to keep them separate.

Currently, blkg points to the associated blkcg via its css_id. This
unnecessarily complicates dereferencing blkcg. Let blkg hold a
reference to the associated blkcg and point directly to it and disable
css_id on blkio_subsys.
This change requires splitting blkiocg_destroy() into
blkiocg_pre_destroy() and blkiocg_destroy() so that all blkg's can be
destroyed and all the blkcg references held by them dropped during
cgroup removal.

associated with every queue in the system, but modules like floppy,
can instantiate request queues without registering disk which can lead

blkg->dev is dev_t recording the device number of the block device for
the associated request_queue. It is used to identify the associated
block device when printing out configuration or stats.
This is redundant to begin with. A blkg is an association between a
cgroup and a request_queue and it of course is possible to reach
request_queue from blkg and synchronization conventions are in place
for safe q dereferencing, so this shouldn't be necessary from the
beginning. Furthermore, it's initialized by sscanf()ing the device
name of backing_dev_info. The mind boggles.
Anyways, if blkg is visible under rcu lock, we *know* that the
associated request_queue hasn't gone away yet and its bdi is
registered and alive - blkg can't be created for request_queue which
hasn't been fully initialized and it can't go away before blkg is
removed.
Let stat and conf read functions get device name from
blkg->q->backing_dev_info.dev and pass it down to printing functions
and remove blkg->dev.

blkcg is very peculiar in that it allows setting and remembering
configurations for non-existent devices by maintaining separate data
structures for configuration.
This behavior is completely out of the usual norms and outright
confusing; furthermore, it uses dev_t number to match the
configuration to devices, which is unpredictable to begin with and
becomes completely unuseable if EXT_DEVT is fully used.
It is wholely unnecessary - we already have fully functional userland
mechanism to program devices being hotplugged which has full access to
device identification, connection topology and filesystem information.
Add a new struct blkio_group_conf which contains all blkcg
configurations to blkio_group and let blkio_group, which can be
created iff the associated device exists and is removed when the
associated device goes away, carry all configurations.
Note that, after this patch, all newly created blkg's will always have
the default configuration (unlimited for throttling and blkcg's weight
for propio).
This patch makes blkio_policy_node meaningless but doesn't remove it.
The next patch will.

Currently both blk-throttle and cfq-iosched implement their own
blkio_group creation code in throtl_get_tg() and cfq_get_cfqg(). This
patch factors out the common code into blkg_lookup_create(), which
returns ERR_PTR value so that transitional failures due to queue
bypass can be distinguished from other failures.
* New plkio_policy_ops methods blkio_alloc_group_fn() and
blkio_link_group_fn added. Both are transitional and will be
removed once the blkg management code is fully moved into
blk-cgroup.c.
* blkio_alloc_group_fn() allocates policy-specific blkg which is
usually a larger data structure with blkg as the first entry and
intiailizes it. Note that initialization of blkg proper, including
percpu stats, is responsibility of blk-cgroup proper.
Note that default config (weight, bps...) initialization is done
from this method; otherwise, we end up violating locking order
between blkcg and q locks via blkcg_get_CONF() functions.
* blkio_link_group_fn() is called under queue_lock and responsible for
linking the blkg to the queue. blkcg side is handled by blk-cgroup
proper.
* The common blkg creation function is named blkg_lookup_create() and
blkiocg_lookup_group() is renamed to blkg_lookup() for consistency.
Also, throtl / cfq related functions are similarly [re]named for
consistency.
This simplifies blkcg policy implementations and enables further
cleanup.
-v2: Vivek noticed that blkg_lookup_create() incorrectly tested
blk_queue_dead() instead of blk_queue_bypass() leading a user of
the function ending up creating a new blkg on bypassing queue.
This is a bug introduced while relocating bypass patches before
this one. Fixed.
-v3: ERR_PTR patch folded into this one. @for_root added to
blkg_lookup_create() to allow creating root group on a bypassed
queue during elevator switch.

Block cgroup policies are maintained in a linked list and,
theoretically, multiple policies sharing the same policy ID are
allowed.
This patch temporarily restricts one policy per plid and adds
blkio_policy[] array which indexes registered policy types by plid.
Both the restriction and blkio_policy[] array are transitional and
will be removed once API cleanup is complete.

Elevator switch may involve changes to blkcg policies. Implement
shoot down of blkio_groups.
Combined with the previous bypass updates, the end goal is updating
blkcg core such that it can ensure that blkcg's being affected become
quiescent and don't have any per-blkg data hanging around before
commencing any policy updates. Until queues are made aware of the
policies that applies to them, as an interim step, all per-policy blkg
data will be shot down.
* blk-throtl doesn't need this change as it can't be disabled for a
live queue; however, update it anyway as the scheduled blkg
unification requires this behavior change. This means that
blk-throtl configuration will be unnecessarily lost over elevator
switch. This oddity will be removed after blkcg learns to associate
individual policies with request_queues.
* blk-throtl dosen't shoot down root_tg. This is to ease transition.
Unified blkg will always have persistent root group and not shooting
down root_tg for now eases transition to that point by avoiding
having to update td->root_tg and is safe as blk-throtl can never be
disabled
-v2: Vivek pointed out that group list is not guaranteed to be empty
on return from clear function if it raced cgroup removal and
lost. Fix it by waiting a bit and retrying. This kludge will
soon be removed once locking is updated such that blkg is never
in limbo state between blkcg and request_queue locks.
blk-throtl no longer shoots down root_tg to avoid breaking
td->root_tg.
Also, Nest queue_lock inside blkio_list_lock not the other way
around to avoid introduce possible deadlock via blkcg lock.
-v3: blkcg_clear_queue() repositioned and renamed to
blkg_destroy_all() to increase consistency with later changes.
cfq_clear_queue() updated to check q->elevator before
dereferencing it to avoid NULL dereference on not fully
initialized queues (used by later change).

Block cgroup core can be built as module; however, it isn't too useful
as blk-throttle can only be built-in and cfq-iosched is usually the
default built-in scheduler. Scheduled blkcg cleanup requires calling
into blkcg from block core. To simplify that, disallow building blkcg
as module by making CONFIG_BLK_CGROUP bool.
If building blkcg core as module really matters, which I doubt, we can
revisit it after blkcg API cleanup.

put_io_context() performed a complex trylock dancing to avoid
deferring ioc release to workqueue. It was also broken on UP because
trylock was always assumed to succeed which resulted in unbalanced
preemption count.
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
thread can be applied later.

conflict with now removed cic index changes (we now use q->id instead)

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.

ioprio/cgroup change was handled by marking the changed state in ioc
and, on the following access to the ioc, performing RCU-protected
iteration through all cic's grabbing the matching queue_lock.
This patch moves the changed state to each cic. When ioprio or cgroup
changes, the respective bit is set on all cic's of the ioc and when
each of those cic (not ioc) is accessed, change is applied for that
specific ioc-queue pair.
This also fixes the following two race conditions between setting and
clearing of changed states.
* Missing barrier between assign/load of ioprio and ioprio_changed
allowed applying old ioprio.
* Change requests could happen between application of change and
clearing of changed variables.

Ignoring copy_io() during fork, io_context can be allocated from two
places - current_io_context() and set_task_ioprio(). The former is
always called from local task while the latter can be called from
different task. The synchornization between them are peculiar and
dubious.
* current_io_context() doesn't grab task_lock() and assumes that if it
saw %NULL ->io_context, it would stay that way until allocation and
assignment is complete. It has smp_wmb() between alloc/init and
assignment.
* set_task_ioprio() grabs task_lock() for assignment and does
smp_read_barrier_depends() between "ioc = task->io_context" and "if
(ioc)". Unfortunately, this doesn't achieve anything - the latter
is not a dependent load of the former. ie, if ioc itself were being
dereferenced "ioc->xxx", it would mean something (not sure what tho)
but as the code currently stands, the dependent read barrier is
noop.
As only one of the the two test-assignment sequences is task_lock()
protected, the task_lock() can't do much about race between the two.
Nothing prevents current_io_context() and set_task_ioprio() allocating
its own ioc for the same task and overwriting the other's.
Also, set_task_ioprio() can race with exiting task and create a new
ioc after exit_io_context() is finished.
ioc get/put doesn't have any reason to be complex. The only hot path
is accessing the existing ioc of %current, which is simple to achieve
given that ->io_context is never destroyed as long as the task is
alive. All other paths can happily go through task_lock() like all
other task sub structures without impacting anything.
This patch updates ioc get/put so that it becomes more conventional.
* alloc_io_context() is replaced with get_task_io_context(). This is
the only interface which can acquire access to ioc of another task.
On return, the caller has an explicit reference to the object which
should be put using put_io_context() afterwards.
* The functionality of current_io_context() remains the same but when
creating a new ioc, it shares the code path with
get_task_io_context() and always goes through task_lock().
* get_io_context() now means incrementing ref on an ioc which the
caller already has access to (be that an explicit refcnt or implicit
%current one).
* PF_EXITING inhibits creation of new io_context and once
exit_io_context() is finished, it's guaranteed that both ioc
acquisition functions return %NULL.
* All users are updated. Most are trivial but
smp_read_barrier_depends() removal from cfq_get_io_context() needs a
bit of explanation. I suppose the original intention was to ensure
ioc->ioprio is visible when set_task_ioprio() allocates new
io_context and installs it; however, this wouldn't have worked
because set_task_ioprio() doesn't have wmb between init and install.
There are other problems with this which will be fixed in another
patch.
* While at it, use NUMA_NO_NODE instead of -1 for wildcard node
specification.

Now that subsys->can_attach() and attach() take @tset instead of
@task, they can handle per-task operations. Convert
->can_attach_task() and ->attach_task() users to use ->can_attach()
and attach() instead. Most converions are straight-forward.
Noteworthy changes are,
* In cgroup_freezer, remove unnecessary NULL assignments to unused

already happened.
* In cpuset, PF_THREAD_BOUND test is checked for each task. This
doesn't make any practical difference but is conceptually cleaner.

Add cgroup subsystem callbacks for per-thread attachment in atomic contexts
Add can_attach_task(), pre_attach(), and attach_task() as new callbacks
for cgroups's subsystem interface. Unlike can_attach and attach, these
are for per-thread operations, to be called potentially many times when
attaching an entire threadgroup.
Also, the old "bool threadgroup" interface is removed, as replaced by
this. All subsystems are modified for the new interface - of note is
cpuset, which requires from/to nodemasks for attach to be globally scoped
(though per-cpuset would work too) to persist from its pre_attach to
attach_task and attach.
This is a pre-patch for cgroup-procs-writable.patch.

Now dispatch stats update is lock free. But reset of these stats still
takes blkg->stats_lock and is dependent on that. As stats are per cpu,
we should be able to just reset the stats on each cpu without any locks.
(Atleast for 64bit arch).
On 32bit arch there is a small race where 64bit updates are not atomic.
The result of this race can be that in the presence of other writers,
one might not get 0 value after reset of a stat and might see something
intermediate
One can write more complicated code to cover this race like sending IPI
to other cpus to reset stats and for offline cpus, reset these directly.
Right not I am not taking that path because reset_update is more of a
debug feature and it can happen only on 32bit arch and possibility of
it happening is small. Will fix it if it becomes a real problem. For
the time being going for code simplicity.

Currently we take blkg_stat lock for even updating the stats. So even if
a group has no throttling rules (common case for root group), we end
up taking blkg_lock, for updating the stats.
Make dispatch stats per cpu so that these can be updated without taking
blkg lock.
If cpu goes offline, these stats simply disappear. No protection has
been provided for that yet. Do we really need anything for that?

Currentlly we first map the task to cgroup and then cgroup to
blkio_cgroup. There is a more direct way to get to blkio_cgroup
from task using task_subsys_state(). Use that.
The real reason for the fix is that it also avoids a race in generic
cgroup code. During remount/umount rebind_subsystems() is called and
it can do following with and rcu protection.
cgrp->subsys[i] = NULL;
That means if somebody got hold of cgroup under rcu and then it tried
to do cgroup->subsys[] to get to blkio_cgroup, it would get NULL which
is wrong. I was running into this race condition with ltp running on a
upstream derived kernel and that lead to crash.
So ideally we should also fix cgroup generic code to wait for rcu
grace period before setting pointer to NULL. Li Zefan is not very keen
on introducing synchronize_wait() as he thinks it will slow
down moun/remount/umount operations.
So for the time being atleast fix the kernel crash by taking a more
direct route to blkio_cgroup.
One tester had reported a crash while running LTP on a derived kernel
and with this fix crash is no more seen while the test has been
running for over 6 days.

There are two kind of times that tasks are not charged for: the first
seek and the extra time slice used over the allocated timeslice. Both
of these exported as a new unaccounted_time stat.
I think it would be good to have this reported in 'time' as well, but
that is probably a separate discussion.

o Allow hierarchical cgroup creation for blkio controller
o Currently we disallow it as both the io controller policies (throttling
as well as proportion bandwidth) do not support hierarhical accounting
and control. But the flip side is that blkio controller can not be used with
libvirt as libvirt creates a cgroup hierarchy deeper than 1 level.
<top-level-cgroup-dir>/<controller>/libvirt/qemu/<virtual-machine-groups>
o So this patch will allow creation of cgroup hierarhcy but at the backend
everything will be treated as flat. So if somebody created a an hierarchy
like as follows.
root
/ \
test1 test2
|
test3
CFQ and throttling will practically treat all groups at same level.
pivot
/ | \ \
root test1 test2 test3
o Once we have actual support for hierarchical accounting and control
then we can introduce another cgroup tunable file "blkio.use_hierarchy"
which will be 0 by default but if user wants to enforce hierarhical
control then it can be set to 1. This way there should not be any
ABI problems down the line.
o The only not so pretty part is introduction of extra file "use_hierarchy"
down the line. Kame-san had mentioned that hierarhical accounting is
expensive in memory controller hence they keep it off by default. I
suspect same will be the case for IO controller also as for each IO
completion we shall have to account IO through hierarchy up to the root.
if yes, then it probably is not a very bad idea to introduce this extra
file so that it will be used only when somebody needs it and some people
might enable hierarchy only in part of the hierarchy.
o This is how basically memory controller also uses "use_hierarhcy" and
they also allowed creation of hierarchies when actual backend support
was not available.

o Currently any cgroup throttle limit changes are processed asynchronousy and
the change does not take affect till a new bio is dispatched from same group.
o It might happen that a user sets a redicuously low limit on throttling.
Say 1 bytes per second on reads. In such cases simple operations like mount
a disk can wait for a very long time.
o Once bio is throttled, there is no easy way to come out of that wait even if
user increases the read limit later.
o This patch fixes it. Now if a user changes the cgroup limits, we recalculate
the bio dispatch time according to new limits.
o Can't take queueu lock under blkcg_lock, hence after the change I wake
up the dispatch thread again which recalculates the time. So there are some
variables being synchronized across two threads without lock and I had to
make use of barriers. Hoping I have used barriers correctly. Any review of
memory barrier code especially will help.

This patch fixes few usability and configurability issues.
o All the cgroup based controller options are configurable from
"Genral Setup/Control Group Support/" menu. blkio is the only exception.
Hence make this option visible in above menu and make it configurable from
there to bring it inline with rest of the cgroup based controllers.
o Get rid of CONFIG_DEBUG_CFQ_IOSCHED.
This option currently does two things.
- Enable printing of cgroup paths in blktrace
- Enables CONFIG_DEBUG_BLK_CGROUP, which in turn displays additional stat
files in cgroup.
If we are using group scheduling, blktrace data is of not really much use
if cgroup information is not present. To get this data, currently one has to
also enable CONFIG_DEBUG_CFQ_IOSCHED, which in turn brings the overhead of
all the additional debug stat files which is not desired.
Hence, this patch moves printing of cgroup paths under
CONFIG_CFQ_GROUP_IOSCHED.
This allows us to get rid of CONFIG_DEBUG_CFQ_IOSCHED completely. Now all
the debug stat files are controlled only by CONFIG_DEBUG_BLK_CGROUP which
can be enabled through config menu.

o Once in a while, I was hitting a BUG_ON() in blkio code. empty_time was
assuming that upon slice expiry, group can't be marked empty already (except
forced dispatch).
But this assumption is broken if cfqq can move (group_isolation=0) across
groups after receiving a request.
I think most likely in this case we got a request in a cfqq and accounted
the rq in one group, later while adding the cfqq to tree, we moved the queue
to a different group which was already marked empty and after dispatch from
slice we found group already marked empty and raised alarm.
This patch does not error out if group is already marked empty. This can
introduce some empty_time stat error only in case of group_isolation=0. This
is better than crashing. In case of group_isolation=1 we should still get
same stats as before this patch.
