If a device is used as the root filesystem, it can't be built
off of devices which are within the root filesystem (just like
command line arguments to root=). For this reason, Linux has a
pseudo-filesystem for root= and MD initialization (based on the
function name_to_dev_t) which handles different ways of specifying
devices including PARTUUID and major:minor.
Switch to using name_to_dev_t() in dm_get_device(). Rather than
having DM assume that all things which are not major:minor are paths in
an already-mounted filesystem, change dm_get_device() to first attempt
to look up the device in the filesystem, and if not found it will fall
back to using name_to_dev_t().
In terms of backwards compatibility, there are some cases where
behavior will be different:
- If you have a file in the current working directory named 1:2 and
you initialze DM there, then it will try to use that file rather
than the disk with that major:minor pair as a backing device.
- Similarly for other bdev types which name_to_dev_t() knows how to
interpret, the previous behavior was to repeatedly check for the
existence of the file (e.g., while waiting for rootfs to come up)
but the new behavior is to use the name_to_dev_t() interpretation.
For example, if you have a file named /dev/ubiblock0_0 which is
a symlink to /dev/sda3, but it is not yet present when DM starts
to initialize, then the name_to_dev_t() interpretation will take
precedence.
These incompatibilities would only show up in really strange setups
with bad practices so we shouldn't have to worry about them.

In the kernel command-line, previously, root=1:2jakshflaksjdhfa would
be accepted and interpreted just like root=1:2. This patch adds
stricter checking so that additional characters after major:minor are
rejected by root=.
The goal of this change is to help in unifying DM's interpretation of
its block device argument by using existing kernel code (name_to_dev_t).
But DM rejects malformed major:minor pairs, it seems reasonable for
root= to reject them as well.

Request-based DM's blk-mq support defaults to off; but a user can easily
change the default using the dm_mod.use_blk_mq module/boot option.
Also, you can check what mode a given request-based DM device is using
with: cat /sys/block/dm-X/dm/use_blk_mq
This change enabled further cleanup and reduced work (e.g. the
md->io_pool and md->rq_pool isn't created if using blk-mq).

dm_mq_queue_rq() is in atomic context so care must be taken to not
sleep -- as such GFP_ATOMIC is used for the md->bs bioset allocations
and dm-mpath's call to blk_get_request(). In the future the bioset
allocations will hopefully go away (by removing support for partial
completions of bios in a cloned request).
Also prepare for supporting DM blk-mq ontop of old-style request_fn
device(s) if a new dm-mod 'use_blk_mq' parameter is set. The kthread
will still be used to queue work if blk-mq is used ontop of old-style
request_fn device(s).

Commit e5863d9ad ("dm: allocate requests in target when stacking on
blk-mq devices") served as the first step toward fully utilizing blk-mq
in request-based DM -- it enabled stacking an old-style (request_fn)
request_queue ontop of the underlying blk-mq device(s). That first step
didn't improve performance of DM multipath ontop of fast blk-mq devices
(e.g. NVMe) because the top-level old-style request_queue was severely
limited by the queue_lock.
The second step offered here enables stacking a blk-mq request_queue
ontop of the underlying blk-mq device(s). This unlocks significant
performance gains on fast blk-mq devices, Keith Busch tested on his NVMe
testbed and offered this really positive news:
"Just providing a performance update. All my fio tests are getting
roughly equal performance whether accessed through the raw block
device or the multipath device mapper (~470k IOPS). I could only push
~20% of the raw iops through dm before this conversion, so this latest
tree is looking really solid from a performance standpoint."

Otherwise, for sequential workloads, the dm_request_fn can allow
excessive request merging at the expense of increased service time.
Add a per-device sysfs attribute to allow the user to control how long a
request, that is a reasonable merge candidate, can be queued on the
request queue. The resolution of this request dispatch deadline is in
microseconds (ranging from 1 to 100000 usecs), to set a 20us deadline:
echo 20 > /sys/block/dm-7/dm/rq_based_seq_io_merge_deadline
The dm_request_fn's merge heuristic and associated extra accounting is
disabled by default (rq_based_seq_io_merge_deadline is 0).
This sysfs attribute is not applicable to bio-based DM devices so it
will only ever report 0 for them.
By allowing a request to remain on the queue it will block others
requests on the queue. But introducing a short dequeue delay has proven
very effective at enabling certain sequential IO workloads on really
fast, yet IOPS constrained, devices to build up slightly larger IOs --
yielding 90+% throughput improvements. Having precise control over the
time taken to wait for larger requests to build affords control beyond
that of waiting for certain IO sizes to accumulate (which would require
a deadline anyway). This knob will only ever make sense with sequential
IO workloads and the particular value used is storage configuration
specific.
Given the expected niche use-case for when this knob is useful it has
been deemed acceptable to expose this relatively crude method for
crafting optimal IO on specific storage -- especially given the solution
is simple yet effective. In the context of DM multipath, it is
advisable to tune this sysfs attribute to a value that offers the best
performance for the common case (e.g. if 4 paths are expected active,
tune for that; if paths fail then performance may be slightly reduced).
Alternatives were explored to have request-based DM autotune this value
(e.g. if/when paths fail) but they were quickly deemed too fragile and
complex to warrant further design and development time. If this problem
proves more common as faster storage emerges we'll have to look at
elevating a generic solution into the block core.

Request-based DM's dm_request_fn() is so fast to pull requests off the
queue that steps need to be taken to promote merging by avoiding request

If the current request would've merged with previous request let the

On really fast storage it can be beneficial to delay running the
request_queue to allow the elevator more opportunity to merge requests.

The old dm_request() method used for q->make_request_fn had a branch for
request-based DM support but it isn't needed given that
dm_init_request_based_queue() sets it to the standard blk_queue_bio()
anyway.
Cleanup dm_init_md_queue() to be DM device-type agnostic and have
dm_setup_md_queue() properly finish queue setup based on DM device-type
(bio-based vs request-based).
A followup block patch can be made to remove the export for
blk_queue_bio() now that DM no longer calls it directly.

DM multipath is the only caller of blk_lld_busy() -- which calls a
queue's lld_busy_fn hook. Request-based DM doesn't support stacking
multipath devices so there is no reason to register the lld_busy_fn hook
on a multipath device's queue using blk_queue_lld_busy().
As such, remove functions dm_lld_busy and dm_table_any_busy_target.

Writeback takes out a lock on the cache block, so will increase the
latency for any concurrent io.
This patch works by placing 2 sentinel objects on each level of the
multiqueues. Every WRITEBACK_PERIOD the oldest sentinel gets moved to
the newest end of the queue level.
When looking for writeback work:
if less than 25% of the cache is clean:
we select the oldest object with the lowest hit count
otherwise:
we select the oldest object that is not past a writeback sentinel.

A sentinel object is placed on each level of the multiqueues. When an
object is hit it is requeued behind the sentinel. When the tick is
incremented we iterate through all objects behind the sentinel and
update the hit_count, then reposition the sentinel at the very back.
This saves memory by avoiding tracking the tick explicitly for every
struct entry object in the multiqueues.

Use a single slab cache to allocate a mempool for each dirty-log.
This _should_ eliminate DM's need for io_schedule_timeout() in
mempool_alloc(); so io_schedule() should be sufficient now.

Linux 3.19 commit 69c953c ("lib/lcm.c: lcm(n,0)=lcm(0,n) is 0, not n")
caused blk_stack_limits() to not properly stack queue_limits for stacked
devices (e.g. DM).
Fix this regression by establishing lcm_not_zero() and switching
blk_stack_limits() over to using it.
DM uses blk_set_stacking_limits() to establish the initial top-level
queue_limits that are then built up based on underlying devices' limits
using blk_stack_limits(). In the case of optimal_io_size (io_opt)
blk_set_stacking_limits() establishes a default value of 0. With commit
69c953c, lcm(0, n) is no longer n, which compromises proper stacking of
the underlying devices' io_opt.
Test:
$ modprobe scsi_debug dev_size_mb=10 num_tgts=1 opt_blks=1536
$ cat /sys/block/sde/queue/optimal_io_size
786432
$ dmsetup create node --table "0 100 linear /dev/sde 0"
Before this fix:

watchdog_set_drvdata(), causing a NULL pointer dereference when
pdc_wdt_stop() retrieves the struct pdc_wdt_dev pointer using

Fix by moving the watchdog_set_drvdata() call earlier, to where various

If we retire requests last, we may use a later seqno and so clear
the requests lists without clearing the active list, leading to
confusion. Hence we should retire requests first for consistency with
the early return. The order used to be important as the lifecycle for
the object on the active list was determined by request->seqno. However,
the requests themselves are now reference counted removing the
constraint from the order of retirement.

The regfile provided to SA_SIGINFO signal handler as ucontext was off by
one due to pt_regs gutter cleanups in 2013.
Before handling signal, user pt_regs are copied onto user_regs_struct and copied
back later. Both structs are binary compatible. This was all fine until
commit 2fa919045b72 (ARC: pt_regs update #2) which removed the empty stack slot
at top of pt_regs (corresponding to first pad) and made the corresponding
fixup in struct user_regs_struct (the pad in there was moved out of
@scratch - not removed altogether as it is part of ptrace ABI)
struct user_regs_struct {
+ long pad;
struct {
- long pad;
long bta, lp_start, lp_end,....
} scratch;
...
}
This meant that now user_regs_struct was off by 1 reg w.r.t pt_regs and
signal code needs to user_regs_struct.scratch to reflect it as pt_regs,
which is what this commit does.
This problem was hidden for 2 years, because both save/restore, despite
using wrong location, were using the same location. Only an interim
inspection (reproducer below) exposed the issue.
void handle_segv(int signo, siginfo_t *info, void *context)
{
ucontext_t *uc = context;
struct user_regs_struct *regs = &(uc->uc_mcontext.regs);
printf("regs %x %x\n", <=== prints 7 8 (vs. 8 9)
regs->scratch.r8, regs->scratch.r9);
}
int main()
{
struct sigaction sa;
sa.sa_sigaction = handle_segv;
sa.sa_flags = SA_SIGINFO;
sigemptyset(&sa.sa_mask);

Base PTEs are marked young when the NUMA hinting information is cleared
but the same does not happen for huge pages which this patch addresses.
Note that migrated pages are not marked young as the base page migration
code does not assume that migrated pages have been referenced. This
could be addressed but beyond the scope of this series which is aimed at
Dave Chinners shrink workload that is unlikely to be affected by this
issue.

Dave Chinner reported the following on https://lkml.org/lkml/2015/3/1/226
Across the board the 4.0-rc1 numbers are much slower, and the degradation
is far worse when using the large memory footprint configs. Perf points
straight at the cause - this is from 4.0-rc1 on the "-o bhash=101073" config:
- 56.07% 56.07% [kernel] [k] default_send_IPI_mask_sequence_phys
- default_send_IPI_mask_sequence_phys
- 99.99% physflat_send_IPI_mask
- 99.37% native_send_call_func_ipi
smp_call_function_many
- native_flush_tlb_others
- 99.85% flush_tlb_page
ptep_clear_flush
try_to_unmap_one
rmap_walk
try_to_unmap
migrate_pages
migrate_misplaced_page
- handle_mm_fault
- 99.73% __do_page_fault
trace_do_page_fault
do_async_page_fault
+ async_page_fault
0.63% native_send_call_func_single_ipi
generic_exec_single
smp_call_function_single
This is showing excessive migration activity even though excessive
migrations are meant to get throttled. Normally, the scan rate is tuned
on a per-task basis depending on the locality of faults. However, if
migrations fail for any reason then the PTE scanner may scan faster if
the faults continue to be remote. This means there is higher system CPU
overhead and fault trapping at exactly the time we know that migrations
cannot happen. This patch tracks when migration failures occur and
slows the PTE scanner.

Protecting a PTE to trap a NUMA hinting fault clears the writable bit
and further faults are needed after trapping a NUMA hinting fault to set
the writable bit again. This patch preserves the writable bit when
trapping NUMA hinting faults. The impact is obvious from the number of
minor faults trapped during the basis balancing benchmark and the system
CPU usage;

The patch looks hacky but the alternatives looked worse. The tidest was
to rewalk the page tables after a hinting fault but it was more complex
than this approach and the performance was worse. It's not generally
safe to just mark the page writable during the fault if it's a write
fault as it may have been read-only for COW so that approach was
discarded.

These are three follow-on patches based on the xfsrepair workload Dave
Chinner reported was problematic in 4.0-rc1 due to changes in page table
management -- https://lkml.org/lkml/2015/3/1/226.
Much of the problem was reduced by commit 53da3bc2ba9e ("mm: fix up numa
read-only thread grouping logic") and commit ba68bc0115eb ("mm: thp:
Return the correct value for change_huge_pmd"). It was known that the
performance in 3.19 was still better even if is far less safe. This
series aims to restore the performance without compromising on safety.
For the test of this mail, I'm comparing 3.19 against 4.0-rc4 and the
three patches applied on top

Overall the system CPU usage is comparable and the test is naturally a
bit variable. The slowing of the scanner hurts numa01 but on this
machine it is an adverse workload and patches that dramatically help it
often hurt absolutely everything else.

The really relevant lines as syst-xfsrepair which is the system CPU
usage when running xfsrepair. Note that on my machine the overhead was
45% higher on 4.0-rc4 which may be part of what Dave is seeing. Once we
preserve the write bit across faults, it's only 2.51% higher on average.
With the full series applied, system CPU usage is 24.6% lower on
average.
Again, the impact of preserving the write bit on minor faults is obvious
and the impact of slowing scanning after migration failures is obvious
on the PTE updates. Note also that the number of pages migrated is much
reduced even though the headline performance is comparable.

FWIW, I also checked SPECjbb in different configurations but it's
similar observations -- minor faults lower, PTE update activity lower
and performance is roughly comparable against 3.19.
This patch (of 3):
Threads that share writable data within pages are grouped together as
related tasks. This decision is based on whether the PTE is marked
dirty which is subject to timing races between the PTE scanner update
and when the application writes the page. If the page is file-backed,
then background flushes and sync also affect placement. This is
unpredictable behaviour which is impossible to reason about so this
patch makes grouping decisions based on the VMA flags.

Fix B-tree corruption when a new record is inserted at position 0 in the
node in hfs_brec_insert(). In this case a hfs_brec_update_parent() is
called to update the parent index node (if exists) and it is passed
hfs_find_data with a search_key containing a newly inserted key instead
of the key to be updated. This results in an inconsistent index node.
The bug reproduces on my machine after an extents overflow record for
the catalog file (CNID=4) is inserted into the extents overflow B-tree.
Because of a low (reserved) value of CNID=4, it has to become the first
record in the first leaf node.
The resulting first leaf node is correct:
----------------------------------------------------
| key0.CNID=4 | key1.CNID=123 | key2.CNID=456, ... |
----------------------------------------------------
But the parent index key0 still contains the previous key CNID=123:
-----------------------
| key0.CNID=123 | ... |
-----------------------
A change in hfs_brec_insert() makes hfs_brec_update_parent() work
correctly by preventing it from getting fd->record=-1 value from
__hfs_brec_find().
Along the way, I removed duplicate code with unification of the if
condition. The resulting code is equivalent to the original code
because node is never 0.
Also hfs_brec_update_parent() will now return an error after getting a
negative fd->record value. However, the return value of
hfs_brec_update_parent() is not checked anywhere in the file and I'm
leaving it unchanged by this patch. brec.c lacks error checking after
some other calls too, but this issue is of less importance than the one
being fixed by this patch.

Commit 3c605096d315 ("mm/page_alloc: restrict max order of merging on
isolated pageblock") changed the logic of unset_migratetype_isolate to
check the buddy allocator and explicitly call __free_pages to merge.
The page that is being freed in this path never had prep_new_page called
so set_page_refcounted is called explicitly but there is no call to
kernel_map_pages. With the default kernel_map_pages this is mostly
harmless but if kernel_map_pages does any manipulation of the page
tables (unmapping or setting pages to read only) this may trigger a
fault:
alloc_contig_range test_pages_isolated(ceb00, ced00) failed
Unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address ffffffc0cec00000
pgd = ffffffc045fc4000

Fix this by calling kernel_map_pages to ensure the page is set in the

Commit 9aabf810a67c ("mm/slub: optimize alloc/free fastpath by removing
preemption on/off") introduced an occasional hang for kernels built with
CONFIG_PREEMPT && !CONFIG_SMP.
The problem is the following loop the patch introduced to
slab_alloc_node and slab_free:
do {
tid = this_cpu_read(s->cpu_slab->tid);
c = raw_cpu_ptr(s->cpu_slab);
} while (IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_PREEMPT) && unlikely(tid != c->tid));
GCC 4.9 has been observed to hoist the load of c and c->tid above the
loop for !SMP kernels (as in this case raw_cpu_ptr(x) is compile-time
constant and does not force a reload). On arm64 the generated assembly
looks like:
ldr x4, [x0,#8]
loop:
ldr x1, [x0,#8]
cmp x1, x4
b.ne loop
If the thread is preempted between the load of c->tid (into x1) and tid
(into x4), and an allocation or free occurs in another thread (bumping
the cpu_slab's tid), the thread will be stuck in the loop until
s->cpu_slab->tid wraps, which may be forever in the absence of
allocations/frees on the same CPU.
This patch changes the loop condition to access c->tid with READ_ONCE.
This ensures that the value is reloaded even when the compiler would
otherwise assume it could cache the value, and also ensures that the
load will not be torn.
