      block: fix max discard sectors limit · 871dd928
      James Bottomley authored
      linux-v3.8-rc1 and later support for plug for blkdev_issue_discard with
      commit 0cfbcafc
      (block: add plug for blkdev_issue_discard )
      
      For example,
      1) DISCARD rq-1 with size size 4GB
      2) DISCARD rq-2 with size size 1GB
      
      If these 2 discard requests get merged, final request size will be 5GB.
      
      In this case, request's __data_len field may overflow as it can store
      max 4GB(unsigned int).
      
      This issue was observed while doing mkfs.f2fs on 5GB SD card:
      https://lkml.org/lkml/2013/4/1/292
      
      Info: sector size = 512
      Info: total sectors = 11370496 (in 512bytes)
      Info: zone aligned segment0 blkaddr: 512
      [  257.789764] blk_update_request: bio idx 0 >= vcnt 0
      
      mkfs process gets stuck in D state and I see the following in the dmesg:

      blkcg: fix "scheduling while atomic" in blk_queue_bypass_start · e5072664
      Jun'ichi Nomura authored
      Since 749fefe6 in v3.7 ("block: lift the initial queue bypass mode
      on blk_register_queue() instead of blk_init_allocated_queue()"),
      the following warning appears when multipath is used with CONFIG_PREEMPT=y.
      
      This patch moves blk_queue_bypass_start() before radix_tree_preload()
      to avoid the sleeping call while preemption is disabled.

      Jens Axboe authored
      Merge branch 'writeback-workqueue' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/wq into for-3.10/core
      
      Tejun writes:
      
      -----
      
      This is the pull request for the earlier patchset[1] with the same
      name.  It's only three patches (the first one was committed to
      workqueue tree) but the merge strategy is a bit involved due to the
      dependencies.
      
      * Because the conversion needs features from wq/for-3.10,
        block/for-3.10/core is based on rc3, and wq/for-3.10 has conflicts
        with rc3, I pulled mainline (rc5) into wq/for-3.10 to prevent those
        workqueue conflicts from flaring up in block tree.
      
      * Resolving the issue that Jan and Dave raised about debugging
        requires arch-wide changes.  The patchset is being worked on[2] but
        it'll have to go through -mm after these changes show up in -next,
        and not included in this pull request.
      
      The three commits are located in the following git branch.
      
        git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/wq.git writeback-workqueue
      
      Pulling it into block/for-3.10/core produces a conflict in
      drivers/md/raid5.c between the following two commits.
      
        e3620a3a ("MD RAID5: Avoid accessing gendisk or queue structs when not available")
        2f6db2a7 ("raid5: use bio_reset()")
      
      The conflict is trivial - one removes an "if ()" conditional while the
      other removes "rbi->bi_next = NULL" right above it.  We just need to
      remove both.  The merged branch is available at
      
        git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/wq.git block-test-merge
      
      so that you can use it for verification.  The test merge commit has
      proper merge description.
      
      While these changes are a bit of pain to route, they make code simpler
      and even have, while minute, measureable performance gain[3] even on a
      workload which isn't particularly favorable to showing the benefits of
      this conversion.
      
      ----
      
      Fixed up the conflict.

      writeback: expose the bdi_wq workqueue · b5c872dd
      Tejun Heo authored
      There are cases where userland wants to tweak the priority and
      affinity of writeback flushers.  Expose bdi_wq to userland by setting
      WQ_SYSFS.  It appears under /sys/bus/workqueue/devices/writeback/ and
      allows adjusting maximum concurrency level, cpumask and nice level.

      writeback: replace custom worker pool implementation with unbound workqueue · 839a8e86
      Tejun Heo authored
      Writeback implements its own worker pool - each bdi can be associated
      with a worker thread which is created and destroyed dynamically.  The
      worker thread for the default bdi is always present and serves as the
      "forker" thread which forks off worker threads for other bdis.
      
      there's no reason for writeback to implement its own worker pool when
      using unbound workqueue instead is much simpler and more efficient.
      This patch replaces custom worker pool implementation in writeback
      with an unbound workqueue.
      
      The conversion isn't too complicated but the followings are worth
      mentioning.
      
      * bdi_writeback->last_active, task and wakeup_timer are removed.
        delayed_work ->dwork is added instead.  Explicit timer handling is
        no longer necessary.  Everything works by either queueing / modding
        / flushing / canceling the delayed_work item.
      
      * bdi_writeback_thread() becomes bdi_writeback_workfn() which runs off
        bdi_writeback->dwork.  On each execution, it processes
        bdi->work_list and reschedules itself if there are more things to
        do.
      
        The function also handles low-mem condition, which used to be
        handled by the forker thread.  If the function is running off a
        rescuer thread, it only writes out limited number of pages so that
        the rescuer can serve other bdis too.  This preserves the flusher
        creation failure behavior of the forker thread.
      
      * INIT_LIST_HEAD(&bdi->bdi_list) is used to tell
        bdi_writeback_workfn() about on-going bdi unregistration so that it
        always drains work_list even if it's running off the rescuer.  Note
        that the original code was broken in this regard.  Under memory
        pressure, a bdi could finish unregistration with non-empty
        work_list.
      
      * The default bdi is no longer special.  It now is treated the same as
        any other bdi and bdi_cap_flush_forker() is removed.
      
      * BDI_pending is no longer used.  Removed.
      
      * Some tracepoints become non-applicable.  The following TPs are
        removed - writeback_nothread, writeback_wake_thread,
        writeback_wake_forker_thread, writeback_thread_start,
        writeback_thread_stop.
      
      Everything, including devices coming and going away and rescuer
      operation under simulated memory pressure, seems to work fine in my
      test setup.

      Merge tag 'v3.9-rc5' into wq/for-3.10 · 229641a6
      Tejun Heo authored
      Writeback conversion to workqueue will be based on top of wq/for-3.10
      branch to take advantage of custom attrs and NUMA support for unbound
      workqueues.  Mainline currently contains two commits which result in
      non-trivial merge conflicts with wq/for-3.10 and because
      block/for-3.10/core is based on v3.9-rc3 which contains one of the
      conflicting commits, we need a pre-merge-window merge anyway.  Let's
      pull v3.9-rc5 into wq/for-3.10 so that the block tree doesn't suffer
      from workqueue merge conflicts.
      
      The two conflicts and their resolutions:
      
      * e68035fb ("workqueue: convert to idr_alloc()") in mainline changes
        worker_pool_assign_id() to use idr_alloc() instead of the old idr
        interface.  worker_pool_assign_id() goes through multiple locking
        changes in wq/for-3.10 causing the following conflict.
      
        static int worker_pool_assign_id(struct worker_pool *pool)
        {
      	  int ret;
      
        <<<<<<< HEAD
      	  lockdep_assert_held(&wq_pool_mutex);
      
      	  do {
      		  if (!idr_pre_get(&worker_pool_idr, GFP_KERNEL))
      			  return -ENOMEM;
      		  ret = idr_get_new(&worker_pool_idr, pool, &pool->id);
      	  } while (ret == -EAGAIN);
        =======
      	  mutex_lock(&worker_pool_idr_mutex);
      	  ret = idr_alloc(&worker_pool_idr, pool, 0, 0, GFP_KERNEL);
      	  if (ret >= 0)
      		  pool->id = ret;
      	  mutex_unlock(&worker_pool_idr_mutex);
        >>>>>>> c67bf5361e7e66a0ff1f4caf95f89347d55dfb89
      
      	  return ret < 0 ? ret : 0;
        }
      
        We want locking from the former and idr_alloc() usage from the
        latter, which can be combined to the following.
      
        static int worker_pool_assign_id(struct worker_pool *pool)
        {
      	  int ret;
      
      	  lockdep_assert_held(&wq_pool_mutex);
      
      	  ret = idr_alloc(&worker_pool_idr, pool, 0, 0, GFP_KERNEL);
      	  if (ret >= 0) {
      		  pool->id = ret;
      		  return 0;
      	  }
      	  return ret;
         }
      
      * eb283428 ("workqueue: fix possible pool stall bug in
        wq_unbind_fn()") updated wq_unbind_fn() such that it has single
        larger for_each_std_worker_pool() loop instead of two separate loops
        with a schedule() call inbetween.  wq/for-3.10 renamed
        pool->assoc_mutex to pool->manager_mutex causing the following
        conflict (earlier function body and comments omitted for brevity).
      
        static void wq_unbind_fn(struct work_struct *work)
        {
        ...
      		  spin_unlock_irq(&pool->lock);
        <<<<<<< HEAD
      		  mutex_unlock(&pool->manager_mutex);
      	  }
        =======
      		  mutex_unlock(&pool->assoc_mutex);
        >>>>>>> c67bf5361e7e66a0ff1f4caf95f89347d55dfb89
      
      		  schedule();
      
        <<<<<<< HEAD
      	  for_each_cpu_worker_pool(pool, cpu)
        =======
        >>>>>>> c67bf5361e7e66a0ff1f4caf95f89347d55dfb89
      		  atomic_set(&pool->nr_running, 0);
      
      		  spin_lock_irq(&pool->lock);
      		  wake_up_worker(pool);
      		  spin_unlock_irq(&pool->lock);
      	  }
        }
      
        The resolution is mostly trivial.  We want the control flow of the
        latter with the rename of the former.
      
        static void wq_unbind_fn(struct work_struct *work)
        {

      workqueue: update sysfs interface to reflect NUMA awareness and a kernel param to disable NUMA affinity
      
      Unbound workqueues are now NUMA aware.  Let's add some control knobs
      and update sysfs interface accordingly.
      
      * Add kernel param workqueue.numa_disable which disables NUMA affinity
        globally.
      
      * Replace sysfs file "pool_id" with "pool_ids" which contain
        node:pool_id pairs.  This change is userland-visible but "pool_id"
        hasn't seen a release yet, so this is okay.
      
      * Add a new sysf files "numa" which can toggle NUMA affinity on
        individual workqueues.  This is implemented as attrs->no_numa whichn
        is special in that it isn't part of a pool's attributes.  It only
        affects how apply_workqueue_attrs() picks which pools to use.
      
      After "pool_ids" change, first_pwq() doesn't have any user left.
      Removed.

      workqueue: implement NUMA affinity for unbound workqueues · 4c16bd32
      Tejun Heo authored
      Currently, an unbound workqueue has single current, or first, pwq
      (pool_workqueue) to which all new work items are queued.  This often
      isn't optimal on NUMA machines as workers may jump around across node
      boundaries and work items get assigned to workers without any regard
      to NUMA affinity.
      
      This patch implements NUMA affinity for unbound workqueues.  Instead
      of mapping all entries of numa_pwq_tbl[] to the same pwq,
      apply_workqueue_attrs() now creates a separate pwq covering the
      intersecting CPUs for each NUMA node which has online CPUs in
      @attrs->cpumask.  Nodes which don't have intersecting possible CPUs
      are mapped to pwqs covering whole @attrs->cpumask.
      
      As CPUs come up and go down, the pool association is changed
      accordingly.  Changing pool association may involve allocating new
      pools which may fail.  To avoid failing CPU_DOWN, each workqueue
      always keeps a default pwq which covers whole attrs->cpumask which is
      used as fallback if pool creation fails during a CPU hotplug
      operation.
      
      This ensures that all work items issued on a NUMA node is executed on
      the same node as long as the workqueue allows execution on the CPUs of
      the node.
      
      As this maps a workqueue to multiple pwqs and max_active is per-pwq,
      this change the behavior of max_active.  The limit is now per NUMA
      node instead of global.  While this is an actual change, max_active is
      already per-cpu for per-cpu workqueues and primarily used as safety
      mechanism rather than for active concurrency control.  Concurrency is
      usually limited from workqueue users by the number of concurrently
      active work items and this change shouldn't matter much.
      
      v2: Fixed pwq freeing in apply_workqueue_attrs() error path.  Spotted
          by Lai.
      
      v3: The previous version incorrectly made a workqueue spanning
          multiple nodes spread work items over all online CPUs when some of
          its nodes don't have any desired cpus.  Reimplemented so that NUMA
          affinity is properly updated as CPUs go up and down.  This problem
          was spotted by Lai Jiangshan.
      
      v4: destroy_workqueue() was putting wq->dfl_pwq and then clearing it;
          however, wq may be freed at any time after dfl_pwq is put making
          the clearing use-after-free.  Clear wq->dfl_pwq before putting it.
      
      v5: apply_workqueue_attrs() was leaking @tmp_attrs, @new_attrs and
          @pwq_tbl after success.  Fixed.
      
          Retry loop in wq_update_unbound_numa_attrs() isn't necessary as
          application of new attrs is excluded via CPU hotplug.  Removed.
      
          Documentation on CPU affinity guarantee on CPU_DOWN added.
      
          All changes are suggested by Lai Jiangshan.

      workqueue: map an unbound workqueues to multiple per-node pool_workqueues · df2d5ae4
      Tejun Heo authored
      Currently, an unbound workqueue has only one "current" pool_workqueue
      associated with it.  It may have multple pool_workqueues but only the
      first pool_workqueue servies new work items.  For NUMA affinity, we
      want to change this so that there are multiple current pool_workqueues
      serving different NUMA nodes.
      
      Introduce workqueue->numa_pwq_tbl[] which is indexed by NUMA node and
      points to the pool_workqueue to use for each possible node.  This
      replaces first_pwq() in __queue_work() and workqueue_congested().
      
      numa_pwq_tbl[] is currently initialized to point to the same
      pool_workqueue as first_pwq() so this patch doesn't make any behavior
      changes.

      workqueue: move hot fields of workqueue_struct to the end · 2728fd2f
      Tejun Heo authored
      Move wq->flags and ->cpu_pwqs to the end of workqueue_struct and align
      them to the cacheline.  These two fields are used in the work item
      issue path and thus hot.  The scheduled NUMA affinity support will add
      dispatch table at the end of workqueue_struct and relocating these two
      fields will allow us hitting only single cacheline on hot paths.
      
      Note that wq->pwqs isn't moved although it currently is being used in
      the work item issue path for unbound workqueues.  The dispatch table
      mentioned above will replace its use in the issue path, so it will
      become cold once NUMA support is implemented.

      workqueue: determine NUMA node of workers accourding to the allowed cpumask · f3f90ad4
      Tejun Heo authored
      When worker tasks are created using kthread_create_on_node(),
      currently only per-cpu ones have the matching NUMA node specified.
      All unbound workers are always created with NUMA_NO_NODE.
      
      Now that an unbound worker pool may have an arbitrary cpumask
      associated with it, this isn't optimal.  Add pool->node which is
      determined by the pool's cpumask.  If the pool's cpumask is contained
      inside a NUMA node proper, the pool is associated with that node, and
      all workers of the pool are created on that node.
      
      This currently only makes difference for unbound worker pools with
      cpumask contained inside single NUMA node, but this will serve as
      foundation for making all unbound pools NUMA-affine.

      workqueue: drop 'H' from kworker names of unbound worker pools · e3c916a4
      Tejun Heo authored
      Currently, all workqueue workers which have negative nice value has
      'H' postfixed to their names.  This is necessary for per-cpu workers
      as they use the CPU number instead of pool->id to identify the pool
      and the 'H' postfix is the only thing distinguishing normal and
      highpri workers.
      
      As workers for unbound pools use pool->id, the 'H' postfix is purely
      informational.  TASK_COMM_LEN is 16 and after the static part and
      delimiters, there are only five characters left for the pool and
      worker IDs.  We're expecting to have more unbound pools with the
      scheduled NUMA awareness support.  Let's drop the non-essential 'H'
      postfix from unbound kworker name.
      
      While at it, restructure kthread_create*() invocation to help future
      NUMA related changes.

      workqueue: fix unbound workqueue attrs hashing / comparison · 13e2e556
      Tejun Heo authored
      29c91e99 ("workqueue: implement attribute-based unbound worker_pool
      management") implemented attrs based worker_pool matching.  It tried
      to avoid false negative when comparing cpumasks with custom hash
      function; unfortunately, the hash and comparison functions fail to
      ignore CPUs which are not possible.  It incorrectly assumed that
      bitmap_copy() skips leftover bits in the last word of bitmap and
      cpumask_equal() ignores impossible CPUs.
      
      This patch updates attrs->cpumask handling such that impossible CPUs
      are properly ignored.
      
      * Hash and copy functions no longer do anything special.  They expect
        their callers to clear impossible CPUs.
      
      * alloc_workqueue_attrs() initializes the cpumask to cpu_possible_mask
        instead of setting all bits and explicit cpumask_setall() for
        unbound_std_wq_attrs[] in init_workqueues() is dropped.
      
      * apply_workqueue_attrs() is now responsible for ignoring impossible
        CPUs.  It makes a copy of @attrs and clears impossible CPUs before
        doing anything else.

        http://www.pwsan.com/omap/testlogs/test_v3.8/20130218214403/pm/37xxevm/37xxevm_log.txt
      
      Mailing list discussion is here:

      Deal with this for v3.9 by reverting the problem commit, until folks can
      figure out the right long-term course of action.

      Linus Torvalds authored
      Pull SCSI target fixes from Nicholas Bellinger:
       "This includes the bug-fix for a >= v3.8-rc1 regression specific to
        iscsi-target persistent reservation conflict handling (CC'ed to
        stable), and a tcm_vhost patch to drop VIRTIO_RING_F_EVENT_IDX usage
        so that in-flight qemu vhost-scsi-pci device code can detect the
        proper vhost feature bits.
      
        Also, there are two more tcm_vhost patches still being discussed by
        MST and Asias for v3.9 that will be required for the in-flight qemu
        vhost-scsi-pci device patch to function properly, and that should
        (hopefully) be the last target fixes for this round."
