blkio_group_stats_cpu is used to count dispatch stats using per-cpu
counters. This is used by both blk-throtl and cfq-iosched but the
sharing is rather silly.
* cfq-iosched doesn't need per-cpu dispatch stats. cfq always updates
those stats while holding queue_lock.
* blk-throtl needs per-cpu dispatch stats but only service_bytes and
serviced. It doesn't make use of sectors.
This patch makes cfq add and use global stats for service_bytes,
serviced and sectors, removes per-cpu sectors counter and moves
per-cpu stat printing code to blk-throttle.c.

As with conf/stats file handling code, there's no reason for stat
update code to live in blkcg core with policies calling into update
them. The current organization is both inflexible and complex.
This patch moves stat update code to specific policies. All
blkiocg_update_*_stats() functions which deal with BLKIO_POLICY_PROP
stats are collapsed into their cfq_blkiocg_update_*_stats()
counterparts. blkiocg_update_dispatch_stats() is used by both
policies and duplicated as throtl_update_dispatch_stats() and
cfq_blkiocg_update_dispatch_stats(). This will be cleaned up later.

blkcg conf/stat handling is convoluted in that details which belong to
specific policy implementations are all out in blkcg core and then
policies hook into core layer to access and manipulate confs and
stats. This sadly achieves both inflexibility (confs/stats can't be
modified without messing with blkcg core) and complexity (all the
call-ins and call-backs).
The previous patches restructured conf and stat handling code such
that they can be separated out. This patch relocates the file
handling part. All conf/stat file handling code which belongs to
BLKIO_POLICY_PROP is moved to cfq-iosched.c and all
BKLIO_POLICY_THROTL code to blk-throtl.c.
The move is verbatim except for blkio_update_group_{weight|bps|iops}()
callbacks which relays conf changes to policies. The configuration
settings are handled in policies themselves so the relaying isn't
necessary. Conf setting functions are modified to directly call
per-policy update functions and the relaying mechanism is dropped.

As part of userland interface restructuring, this patch updates
per-blkio_group configuration setting. Instead of funneling
everything through a master function which has hard-coded cases for
each config file it may handle, the common part is factored into
blkg_conf_prep() and blkg_conf_finish() and different configuration
setters are implemented using the helpers.
While this doesn't result in immediate LOC reduction, this enables
further cleanups and more modular implementation.

Similarly to the previous stat restructuring, this patch restructures
conf printing code such that,
* Conf printing uses the same helpers as stat.
* Printing function doesn't require hardcoded switching on the config
being printed. Note that this isn't complete yet for throttle
confs. The next patch will convert setting for these confs and will
complete the transition.
* Printing uses read_seq_string callback (other methods will be phased
out).
Note that blkio_group_conf.iops[2] is changed to u64 so that they can
be manipulated with the same functions. This is transitional and will
go away later.
After this patch, per-device configurations - weight, bps and iops -
use __blkg_prfill_u64() for printing which uses white space as
delimiter instead of tab.

blkcg stats handling is a mess. None of the stats has much to do with
blkcg core but they are all implemented in blkcg core. Code sharing
is achieved by mixing common code with hard-coded cases for each stat
counter.
This patch restructures statistics printing such that
* Common logic exists as helper functions and specific print functions
use the helpers to implement specific cases.
* Printing functions serving multiple counters don't require hardcoded
switching on specific counters.
* Printing uses read_seq_string callback (other methods will be phased
out).
This change enables further cleanups and relocating stats code to the
policy implementation it belongs to.

blkcg uses u64_stats_sync to avoid reading wrong u64 statistic values
on 32bit archs and some stat counters have subtypes to distinguish
read/writes and sync/async IOs. The stat code paths are confusing and
involve a lot of going back and forth between blkcg core and specific
policy implementations, and synchronization and subtype handling are
open coded in blkcg core.
This patch introduces struct blkg_stat and blkg_rwstat which, with
accompanying operations, encapsulate stat updating and accessing with
proper synchronization.
blkg_stat is simple u64 counter with 64bit read-access protection.
blkg_rwstat is the one with rw and [a]sync subcounters and takes @rw
flags to distinguish IO subtypes (%REQ_WRITE and %REQ_SYNC) and
replaces stat_sub_type indexed arrays.
All counters in blkio_group_stats and blkio_group_stats_cpu are
replaced with either blkg_stat or blkg_rwstat along with all users.
This does add one u64_stats_sync per counter and increase stats_sync
operations but they're empty/noops on 64bit archs and blkcg doesn't
have too many counters, especially with DEBUG_BLK_CGROUP off.
While the currently resulting code isn't necessarily simpler at the
moment, this will enable further clean up of blkcg stats code.
- BLKIO_STAT_{READ|WRITE|SYNC|ASYNC|TOTAL} renamed to
BLKG_RWSTAT_{READ|WRITE|SYNC|ASYNC|TOTAL}.
- blkg_stat_add() replaces blkio_add_stat() and
blkio_check_and_dec_stat(). Note that BUG_ON() on underflow in the
latter function no longer exists. It's *way* better to have
underflowed stat counters than oopsing.
- blkio_group_stats->dequeue is now a proper u64 stat counter instead
of ulong.
- reset_stats() updated to clear each stat counters individually and
BLKG_STATS_DEBUG_CLEAR_{START|SIZE} are removed.
- Some functions reconstruct rw flags from direction and sync
booleans. This will be removed by future patches.

BLKIO_STAT_CPU_SECTORS doesn't need read/write/sync/async subcounters
and is counted by blkio_group_stats_cpu->sectors; however, it still
holds a member in blkio_group_stats_cpu->stat_arr_cpu.
Rearrange stat_type_cpu and define BLKIO_STAT_CPU_ARR_NR and use it
for stat_arr_cpu[] size so that only SERVICE_BYTES and SERVICED have
subcounters.

Restructure blkio_get_stat() to prepare for removal of stats_lock.
* Define BLKIO_STAT_ARR_NR explicitly to denote which stats have
subtypes instead of using BLKIO_STAT_QUEUED.
* Separate out stat acquisition and printing. After this, there are
only two users of blkio_fill_stat(). Just open code it.

need to subtract one. Use MAX_KEY_LEN consistently.

blkiocg_reset_stats() implements stat reset for blkio.reset_stats
cgroupfs file. This feature is very unconventional and something
which shouldn't have been merged. It's only useful when there's only
one user or tool looking at the stats. As soon as multiple users
and/or tools are involved, it becomes useless as resetting disrupts
other usages. There are very good reasons why all other stats expect
readers to read values at the start and end of a period and subtract
to determine delta over the period.
The implementation is rather complex - some fields shouldn't be
cleared and it saves some fields, resets whole and restores for some
reason. Reset of percpu stats is also racy. The comment points to
64bit store atomicity for the reason but even without that stores for
zero can simply race with other CPUs doing RMW and get clobbered.
Simplify reset by
* Clear selectively instead of resetting and restoring.
* Grouping debug stat fields to be reset and using memset() over them.
* Not caring about stats_lock.
* Using memset() to reset percpu stats.

Current per cpu stat allocation assumes GFP_KERNEL allocation flag. But in
IO path there are times when we want GFP_NOIO semantics. As there is no
way to pass the allocation flags to alloc_percpu(), this patch delays the
allocation of stats using a worker thread.
v2-> tejun suggested following changes. Changed the patch accordingly.
- move alloc_node location in structure
- reduce the size of names of some of the fields
- Reduce the scope of locking of alloc_list_lock
- Simplified stat_alloc_fn() by allocating stats for all
policies in one go and then assigning these to a group.
v3 -> Andrew suggested to put some comments in the code. Also raised
concerns about trying to allocate infinitely in case of allocation
failure. I have changed the logic to sleep for 10ms before retrying.
That should take care of non-preemptible UP kernels.
v4 -> Tejun had more suggestions.
- drop list_for_each_entry_all()
- instead of msleep() use queue_delayed_work()
- Some cleanups realted to more compact coding.
v5-> tejun suggested more cleanups leading to more compact code.
tj: - Relocated pcpu_stats into blkio_stat_alloc_fn().
- Minor comment update.
- This also fixes suspicious RCU usage warning caused by invoking
cgroup_path() from blkg_alloc() without holding RCU read lock.
Now that blkg_alloc() doesn't require sleepable context, RCU
read lock from blkg_lookup_create() is maintained throughout
blkg_alloc().

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.

blkgs are chained from both blkcgs and request_queues and thus
subjected to two locks - blkcg->lock and q->queue_lock. As both blkcg
and q can go away anytime, locking during removal is tricky. It's
currently solved by wrapping removal inside RCU, which makes the
synchronization complex. There are three locks to worry about - the
outer RCU, q lock and blkcg lock, and it leads to nasty subtle
complications like conditional synchronize_rcu() on queue exit paths.
For all other paths, blkcg lock is naturally nested inside q lock and
the only exception is blkcg removal path, which is a very cold path
and can be implemented as clumsy but conceptually-simple reverse
double lock dancing.
This patch updates blkg removal path such that blkgs are removed while
holding both q and blkcg locks, which is trivial for request queue
exit path - blkg_destroy_all(). The blkcg removal path,
blkiocg_pre_destroy(), implements reverse double lock dancing
essentially identical to ioc_release_fn().
This simplifies blkg locking - no half-dead blkgs to worry about. Now
unnecessary RCU annotations will be removed by the next patch.

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.

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.

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

This patch introduces struct blkg_policy_data which is a separate data

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

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).

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

This is a bug introduced while relocating bypass patches 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.
-v2: Vivek pointed out that IOSCHED_CFQ was incorrectly updated to
depend on BLK_CGROUP. Fixed.

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 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.

o This patch prepares the base for introducing new IO control policies.
Currently all the code is written knowing there is only one policy
and that is proportional bandwidth. Creating infrastructure for newer
policies to come in.
o Also there were many functions which were generated using macro. It was
very confusing. Got rid of those.
