2018-11-08block/loop: Use global lock for ioctl() operation.Tetsuo Handa1-1/+0
syzbot is reporting NULL pointer dereference [1] which is caused by race condition between ioctl(loop_fd, LOOP_CLR_FD, 0) versus ioctl(other_loop_fd, LOOP_SET_FD, loop_fd) due to traversing other loop devices at loop_validate_file() without holding corresponding lo->lo_ctl_mutex locks. Since ioctl() request on loop devices is not frequent operation, we don't need fine grained locking. Let's use global lock in order to allow safe traversal at loop_validate_file(). Note that syzbot is also reporting circular locking dependency between bdev->bd_mutex and lo->lo_ctl_mutex [2] which is caused by calling blkdev_reread_part() with lock held. This patch does not address it.

syzbot is hitting WARN() triggered by memory allocation fault injection [1] because loop module is calling sysfs_remove_group() when sysfs_create_group() failed. Fix this by remembering whether sysfs_create_group() succeeded.

2017-09-26block/loop: make loop cgroup awareShaohua Li1-0/+1
loop block device handles IO in a separate thread. The actual IO dispatched isn't cloned from the IO loop device received, so the dispatched IO loses the cgroup context. I'm ignoring buffer IO case now, which is quite complicated. Making the loop thread aware cgroup context doesn't really help. The loop device only writes to a single file. In current writeback cgroup implementation, the file can only belong to one cgroup. For direct IO case, we could workaround the issue in theory. For example, say we assign cgroup1 5M/s BW for loop device and cgroup2 10M/s. We can create a special cgroup for loop thread and assign at least 15M/s for the underlayer disk. In this way, we correctly throttle the two cgroups. But this is tricky to setup. This patch tries to address the issue. We record bio's css in loop command. When loop thread is handling the command, we then use the API provided in patch 1 to set the css for current task. The bio layer will use the css for new IO (from patch 3).

2017-09-25loop: remove union of use_aio and ref in struct loop_cmdOmar Sandoval1-4/+2
When the request is completed, lo_complete_rq() checks cmd->use_aio. However, if this is in fact an aio request, cmd->use_aio will have already been reused as cmd->ref by lo_rw_aio*. Fix it by not using a union. On x86_64, there's a hole after the union anyways, so this doesn't make struct loop_cmd any bigger.

2015-09-23block: loop: support DIO & AIOMing Lei1-0/+2
There are at least 3 advantages to use direct I/O and AIO on read/write loop's backing file: 1) double cache can be avoided, then memory usage gets decreased a lot 2) not like user space direct I/O, there isn't cost of pinning pages 3) avoid context switch for obtaining good throughput - in buffered file read, random I/O top throughput is often obtained only if they are submitted concurrently from lots of tasks; but for sequential I/O, most of times they can be hit from page cache, so concurrent submissions often introduce unnecessary context switch and can't improve throughput much. There was such discussion[1] to use non-blocking I/O to improve the problem for application. - with direct I/O and AIO, concurrent submissions can be avoided and random read throughput can't be affected meantime xfstests(-g auto, ext4) is basically passed when running with direct I/O(aio), one exception is generic/232, but it failed in loop buffered I/O(4.2-rc6-next-20150814) too.

This patches provides one interface for enabling direct IO from user space: - userspace(such as losetup) can pass 'file' which is opened/fcntl as O_DIRECT Also __loop_update_dio() is introduced to check if direct I/O can be used on current loop setting. The last big change is to introduce LO_FLAGS_DIRECT_IO flag for userspace to know if direct IO is used to access backing file.

2015-09-23block: loop: use kthread_workMing Lei1-6/+4
The following patch will use dio/aio to submit IO to backing file, then it needn't to schedule IO concurrently from work, so use kthread_work for decreasing context switch cost a lot. For non-AIO case, single thread has been used for long long time, and it was just converted to work in v4.0, which has caused performance regression for fedora live booting already. In discussion[1], even though submitting I/O via work concurrently can improve random read IO throughput, meantime it might hurt sequential read IO performance, so better to restore to single thread behaviour. For the following AIO support, it is better to use multi hw-queue with per-hwq kthread than current work approach suppose there is so high performance requirement for loop.

2015-05-20block: loop: don't hold lo_ctl_mutex in lo_openMing Lei1-1/+1
The lo_ctl_mutex is held for running all ioctl handlers, and in some ioctl handlers, ioctl_by_bdev(BLKRRPART) is called for rereading partitions, which requires bd_mutex. So it is easy to cause failure because trylock(bd_mutex) may fail inside blkdev_reread_part(), and follows the lock context: blkid or other application: ->open() ->mutex_lock(bd_mutex) ->lo_open() ->mutex_lock(lo_ctl_mutex) losetup(set fd ioctl): ->mutex_lock(lo_ctl_mutex) ->ioctl_by_bdev(BLKRRPART) ->trylock(bd_mutex) This patch trys to eliminate the ABBA lock dependency by removing lo_ctl_mutext in lo_open() with the following approach: 1) make lo_refcnt as atomic_t and avoid acquiring lo_ctl_mutex in lo_open(): - for open vs. add/del loop, no any problem because of loop_index_mutex - freeze request queue during clr_fd, so I/O can't come until clearing fd is completed, like the effect of holding lo_ctl_mutex in lo_open - both open() and release() have been serialized by bd_mutex already 2) don't hold lo_ctl_mutex for decreasing/checking lo_refcnt in lo_release(), then lo_ctl_mutex is only required for the last release.

2015-01-02block: loop: improve performance via blk-mqMing Lei1-6/+11
The conversion is a bit straightforward, and use work queue to dispatch requests of loop block, and one big change is that requests is submitted to backend file/device concurrently with work queue, so throughput may get improved much. Given write requests over same file are often run exclusively, so don't handle them concurrently for avoiding extra context switch cost, possible lock contention and work schedule cost. Also with blk-mq, there is opportunity to get loop I/O merged before submitting to backend file/device. In the following test: - base: v3.19-rc2-2041231 - loop over file in ext4 file system on SSD disk - bs: 4k, libaio, io depth: 64, O_DIRECT, num of jobs: 1 - throughput: IOPS ------------------------------------------------------ | | base | base with loop-mq | delta | ------------------------------------------------------ | randread | 1740 | 25318 | +1355%| ------------------------------------------------------ | read | 42196 | 51771 | +22.6%| ----------------------------------------------------- | randwrite | 35709 | 34624 | -3% | ----------------------------------------------------- | write | 39137 | 40326 | +3% | ----------------------------------------------------- So loop-mq can improve throughput for both read and randread, meantime, performance of write and randwrite isn't hurted basically. Another benefit is that loop driver code gets simplified much after blk-mq conversion, and the patch can be thought as cleanup too.
