      block: check if page is mergeable in one helper · 5919482e
      Ming Lei authored
      Now the check for deciding if one page is mergeable to current bvec
      becomes a bit complicated, and we need to reuse the code before
      adding pc page.
      
      So move the check in one dedicated helper.

      block: don't merge adjacent bvecs to one segment in bio blk_queue_split · fd7d8d42
      Ming Lei authored
      For normal filesystem IO, each page is added via blk_add_page(),
      in which bvec(page) merge has been handled already, and basically
      not possible to merge two adjacent bvecs in one bio.
      
      So not try to merge two adjacent bvecs in blk_queue_split().

      loop: properly observe rotational flag of underlying device · 56a85fd8
      Holger Hoffstätte authored
      The loop driver always declares the rotational flag of its device as
      rotational, even when the device of the mapped file is nonrotational,
      as is the case with SSDs or on tmpfs. This can confuse filesystem tools
      which are SSD-aware; in my case I frequently forget to tell mkfs.btrfs
      that my loop device on tmpfs is nonrotational, and that I really don't
      need any automatic metadata redundancy.
      
      The attached patch fixes this by introspecting the rotational flag of the
      mapped file's underlying block device, if it exists. If the mapped file's
      filesystem has no associated block device - as is the case on e.g. tmpfs -
      we assume nonrotational storage. If there is a better way to identify such
      non-devices I'd love to hear them.

      block, bfq: save & resume weight on a queue merge/split · fffca087
      Francesco Pollicino authored
      bfq saves the state of a queue each time a merge occurs, to be
      able to resume such a state when the queue is associated again
      with its original process, on a split.
      
      Unfortunately bfq does not save & restore also the weight of the
      queue. If the weight is not correctly resumed when the queue is
      recycled, then the weight of the recycled queue could differ
      from the weight of the original queue.
      
      This commit adds the missing save & resume of the weight.

      block, bfq: print SHARED instead of pid for shared queues in logs · 1e66413c
      Francesco Pollicino authored
      The function "bfq_log_bfqq" prints the pid of the process
      associated with the queue passed as input.
      
      Unfortunately, if the queue is shared, then more than one process
      is associated with the queue. The pid that gets printed in this
      case is the pid of one of the associated processes.
      Which process gets printed depends on the exact sequence of merge
      events the queue underwent. So printing such a pid is rather
      useless and above all is often rather confusing because it
      reports a random pid between those of the associated processes.
      
      This commit addresses this issue by printing SHARED instead of a pid
      if the queue is shared.

      block, bfq: always protect newly-created queues from existing active queues · 84a74689
      Paolo Valente authored
      If many bfq_queues belonging to the same group happen to be created
      shortly after each other, then the processes associated with these
      queues have typically a common goal. In particular, bursts of queue
      creations are usually caused by services or applications that spawn
      many parallel threads/processes. Examples are systemd during boot, or
      git grep. If there are no other active queues, then, to help these
      processes get their job done as soon as possible, the best thing to do
      is to reach a high throughput. To this goal, it is usually better to
      not grant either weight-raising or device idling to the queues
      associated with these processes. And this is exactly what BFQ
      currently does.
      
      There is however a drawback: if, in contrast, some other queues are
      already active, then the newly created queues must be protected from
      the I/O flowing through the already existing queues. In this case, the
      best thing to do is the opposite as in the other case: it is much
      better to grant weight-raising and device idling to the newly-created
      queues, if they deserve it. This commit addresses this issue by doing
      so if there are already other active queues.
      
      This change also helps eliminating false positives, which occur when
      the newly-created queues do not belong to an actual large burst of
      creations, but some background task (e.g., a service) happens to
      trigger the creation of new queues in the middle, i.e., very close to
      when the victim queues are created. These false positive may cause
      total loss of control on process latencies.

      block, bfq: do not merge queues on flash storage with queueing · 8cacc5ab
      Paolo Valente authored
      To boost throughput with a set of processes doing interleaved I/O
      (i.e., a set of processes whose individual I/O is random, but whose
      merged cumulative I/O is sequential), BFQ merges the queues associated
      with these processes, i.e., redirects the I/O of these processes into a
      common, shared queue. In the shared queue, I/O requests are ordered by
      their position on the medium, thus sequential I/O gets dispatched to
      the device when the shared queue is served.
      
      Queue merging costs execution time, because, to detect which queues to
      merge, BFQ must maintain a list of the head I/O requests of active
      queues, ordered by request positions. Measurements showed that this
      costs about 10% of BFQ's total per-request processing time.
      
      Request processing time becomes more and more critical as the speed of
      the underlying storage device grows. Yet, fortunately, queue merging
      is basically useless on the very devices that are so fast to make
      request processing time critical. To reach a high throughput, these
      devices must have many requests queued at the same time. But, in this
      configuration, the internal scheduling algorithms of these devices do
      also the job of queue merging: they reorder requests so as to obtain
      as much as possible a sequential I/O pattern. As a consequence, with
      processes doing interleaved I/O, the throughput reached by one such
      device is likely to be the same, with and without queue merging.
      
      In view of this fact, this commit disables queue merging, and all
      related housekeeping, for non-rotational devices with internal
      queueing. The total, single-lock-protected, per-request processing
      time of BFQ drops to, e.g., 1.9 us on an Intel Core i7-2760QM@2.40GHz
      (time measured with simple code instrumentation, and using the
      throughput-sync.sh script of the S suite [1], in performance-profiling
      mode). To put this result into context, the total,
      single-lock-protected, per-request execution time of the lightest I/O
      scheduler available in blk-mq, mq-deadline, is 0.7 us (mq-deadline is
      ~800 LOC, against ~10500 LOC for BFQ).
      
      Disabling merging provides a further, remarkable benefit in terms of
      throughput. Merging tends to make many workloads artificially more
      uneven, mainly because of shared queues remaining non empty for
      incomparably more time than normal queues. So, if, e.g., one of the
      queues in a set of merged queues has a higher weight than a normal
      queue, then the shared queue may inherit such a high weight and, by
      staying almost always active, may force BFQ to perform I/O plugging
      most of the time. This evidently makes it harder for BFQ to let the
      device reach a high throughput.
      
      As a practical example of this problem, and of the benefits of this
      commit, we measured again the throughput in the nasty scenario
      considered in previous commit messages: dbench test (in the Phoronix
      suite), with 6 clients, on a filesystem with journaling, and with the
      journaling daemon enjoying a higher weight than normal processes. With
      this commit, the throughput grows from ~150 MB/s to ~200 MB/s on a
      PLEXTOR PX-256M5 SSD. This is the same peak throughput reached by any
      of the other I/O schedulers. As such, this is also likely to be the
      maximum possible throughput reachable with this workload on this
      device, because I/O is mostly random, and the other schedulers
      basically just pass I/O requests to the drive as fast as possible.

      block, bfq: tune service injection basing on request service times · 2341d662
      Paolo Valente authored
      The processes associated with a bfq_queue, say Q, may happen to
      generate their cumulative I/O at a lower rate than the rate at which
      the device could serve the same I/O. This is rather probable, e.g., if
      only one process is associated with Q and the device is an SSD. It
      results in Q becoming often empty while in service. If BFQ is not
      allowed to switch to another queue when Q becomes empty, then, during
      the service of Q, there will be frequent "service holes", i.e., time
      intervals during which Q gets empty and the device can only consume
      the I/O already queued in its hardware queues. This easily causes
      considerable losses of throughput.
      
      To counter this problem, BFQ implements a request injection mechanism,
      which tries to fill the above service holes with I/O requests taken
      from other bfq_queues. The hard part in this mechanism is finding the
      right amount of I/O to inject, so as to both boost throughput and not
      break Q's bandwidth and latency guarantees. To this goal, the current
      version of this mechanism measures the bandwidth enjoyed by Q while it
      is being served, and tries to inject the maximum possible amount of
      extra service that does not cause Q's bandwidth to decrease too
      much.
      
      This solution has an important shortcoming. For bandwidth measurements
      to be stable and reliable, Q must remain in service for a much longer
      time than that needed to serve a single I/O request. Unfortunately,
      this does not hold with many workloads. This commit addresses this
      issue by changing the way the amount of injection allowed is
      dynamically computed. It tunes injection as a function of the service
      times of single I/O requests of Q, instead of Q's
      bandwidth. Single-request service times are evidently meaningful even
      if Q gets very few I/O requests completed while it is in service.
      
      As a testbed for this new solution, we measured the throughput reached
      by BFQ for one of the nastiest workloads and configurations for this
      scheduler: the workload generated by the dbench test (in the Phoronix
      suite), with 6 clients, on a filesystem with journaling, and with the
      journaling daemon enjoying a higher weight than normal processes.
      With this commit, the throughput grows from ~100 MB/s to ~150 MB/s on
      a PLEXTOR PX-256M5.

      block, bfq: do not idle for lowest-weight queues · fb53ac6c
      Paolo Valente authored
      In most cases, it is detrimental for throughput to plug I/O dispatch
      when the in-service bfq_queue becomes temporarily empty (plugging is
      performed to wait for the possible arrival, soon, of new I/O from the
      in-service queue). There is however a case where plugging is needed
      for service guarantees. If a bfq_queue, say Q, has a higher weight
      than some other active bfq_queue, and is sync, i.e., contains sync
      I/O, then, to guarantee that Q does receive a higher share of the
      throughput than other lower-weight queues, it is necessary to plug I/O
      dispatch when Q remains temporarily empty while being served.
      
      For this reason, BFQ performs I/O plugging when some active bfq_queue
      has a higher weight than some other active bfq_queue. But this is
      unnecessarily overkill. In fact, if the in-service bfq_queue actually
      has a weight lower than or equal to the other queues, then the queue
      *must not* be guaranteed a higher share of the throughput than the
      other queues. So, not plugging I/O cannot cause any harm to the
      queue. And can boost throughput.
      
      Taking advantage of this fact, this commit does not plug I/O for sync
      bfq_queues with a weight lower than or equal to the weights of the
      other queues. Here is an example of the resulting throughput boost
      with the dbench workload, which is particularly nasty for BFQ. With
      the dbench test in the Phoronix suite, BFQ reaches its lowest total
      throughput with 6 clients on a filesystem with journaling, in case the
      journaling daemon has a higher weight than normal processes. Before
      this commit, the total throughput was ~80 MB/sec on a PLEXTOR PX-256M5,
      after this commit it is ~100 MB/sec.

      block, bfq: increase idling for weight-raised queues · 778c02a2
      Paolo Valente authored
      If a sync bfq_queue has a higher weight than some other queue, and
      remains temporarily empty while in service, then, to preserve the
      bandwidth share of the queue, it is necessary to plug I/O dispatching
      until a new request arrives for the queue. In addition, a timeout
      needs to be set, to avoid waiting for ever if the process associated
      with the queue has actually finished its I/O.
      
      Even with the above timeout, the device is however not fed with new
      I/O for a while, if the process has finished its I/O. If this happens
      often, then throughput drops and latencies grow. For this reason, the
      timeout is kept rather low: 8 ms is the current default.
      
      Unfortunately, such a low value may cause, on the opposite end, a
      violation of bandwidth guarantees for a process that happens to issue
      new I/O too late. The higher the system load, the higher the
      probability that this happens to some process. This is a problem in
      scenarios where service guarantees matter more than throughput. One
      important case are weight-raised queues, which need to be granted a
      very high fraction of the bandwidth.
      
      To address this issue, this commit lower-bounds the plugging timeout
      for weight-raised queues to 20 ms. This simple change provides
      relevant benefits. For example, on a PLEXTOR PX-256M5S, with which
      gnome-terminal starts in 0.6 seconds if there is no other I/O in
      progress, the same applications starts in
      - 0.8 seconds, instead of 1.2 seconds, if ten files are being read
        sequentially in parallel
      - 1 second, instead of 2 seconds, if, in parallel, five files are
        being read sequentially, and five more files are being written
        sequentially

      Rasmus Villemoes authored
      If userspace doesn't end the input with a newline (which can easily
      happen if the write happens from a C program that does write(fd,
      iface, strlen(iface))), we may end up including garbage from a
      previous, longer value in the device_name. For example
      
      # cat device_name
      
      # printf 'eth12' > device_name
      # cat device_name
      eth12
      # printf 'eth3' > device_name
      # cat device_name
      eth32
      
      I highly doubt anybody is relying on this behaviour, so switch to
      simply copying the bytes (we've already checked that size is <
      IFNAMSIZ) and unconditionally zero-terminate it; of course, we also
      still have to strip a trailing newline.
      
      This is also preparation for future patches.

       "These fix CPU base frequency reporting in the intel_pstate driver and
        a use-after-free in the scpi-cpufreq driver.
      
        Specifics:
      
         - Fix the ACPI CPPC library to actually follow the specification when
           decoding the guaranteed performance register information and make
           the intel_pstate driver to fall back to the nominal frequency when
           reporting the base frequency if the guaranteed performance register
           information is not there (Srinivas Pandruvada).
      
         - Fix use-after-free in the exit callback of the scpi-cpufreq left
           after an update during the 5.0 development cycle (Vincent Stehlé)"

      Pull IOMMU fixes from Joerg Roedel:
      
       - Fix a bug in the AMD IOMMU driver not handling exclusion ranges
         correctly. In fact the driver did not reserve these ranges for IOVA
         allocations, so that dma-handles could be allocated in an exclusion
         range, leading to data corruption. Exclusion ranges have not been
         used by any firmware up to now, so this issue remained undiscovered
         for quite some time.
      
       - Fix wrong warning messages that the IOMMU core code prints when it
         tries to allocate the default domain for an iommu group and the
         driver does not support any of the default domain types (like Intel
         VT-d).

      Pull char/misc driver fixes from Greg KH:
       "Here are some binder, habanalabs, and vboxguest driver fixes for
        5.1-rc3.
      
        The Binder fixes resolve some reported issues found by testing, first
        by the selinux developers, and then earlier today by syzbot.
      
        The habanalabs fixes are all minor, resolving a number of tiny things.
      
        The vboxguest patches are a bit larger. They resolve the fact that
        virtual box decided to change their api in their latest release in a
        way that broke the existing kernel code, despite saying that they were
        never going to do that. So this is a bit of a "new feature", but is
        good to get merged so that 5.1 will work with the latest release. The
        changes are not large and of course virtual box "swears" they will not
        break this again, but no one is holding their breath here.
      
        All of these have been in linux-next for a while with no reported
