As part of the mempool audit on pblk, remove unnecessary mempool allocation checks on mempools. Reported-by:

Javier González authored
pblk holds two sector bitmaps: one to keep track of the mapped sectors while the line is active and another one to keep track of the invalid sectors. The latter is kept during the whole live of the line, until it is recycled. Since we cannot guarantee forward progress for the mempool in this case, get rid of the mempool and simply allocate memory through kmalloc. Reported-by:

Since read and erase paths offer different guarantees for inflight I/Os, separate the mempools to set the right min_nr for each on creation. Reported-by:

In pblk, we have a mempool to allocate a generic structure that we pass along workqueues. This is heavily used in the GC path in order to have enough inflight reads and fully utilize the GC bandwidth. However, the current GC path copies data to the host memory and puts it back into the write buffer. This requires a vmalloc allocation for the data and a memory copy. Thus, guaranteeing the allocation by using a mempool for the structure in itself does not give us much. Until we implement support for vector copy to avoid moving data through the host, just allocate the workqueue structure using kmalloc. This allows us to have a much smaller mempool. Reported-by:

pblk uses an internal page mempool for allocating pages on internal bios. The main two users of this memory pool are partial reads (reads with some sectors in cache and some on media) and padded writes, which need to add dummy pages to an existing bio already containing valid data (and with a large enough bioset allocated). In both cases, the maximum number of pages per bio is defined by the maximum number of physical sectors supported by the underlying device. This patch fixes a bad mempool allocation, where the min_nr of elements on the pool was fixed (to 16), which is lower than the maximum number of sectors supported by NVMe (as of the time for this patch). Instead, use the maximum number of allowed sectors reported by the device. Reported-by:

When a REQ_FLUSH reaches pblk, the bio cannot be directly completed. Instead, data on the write buffer is flushed and the bio is completed on the completion pah. This might require some sectors to be padded in order to guarantee a successful write. This patch fixes a memory leak on the padded pages. A consequence of this bad free was that internal bios not containing data (only a flush) were not being completed. Fixes: a4bd217b ("lightnvm: physical block device (pblk) target") Signed-off-by:

The data buffer for the GC path allocates virtual memory through vmalloc. When this change was introduced, a flag signaling kmalloc'ed memory was wrongly introduced. Use the right flag when creating a bio from this buffer. Fixes: de54e703 ("lightnvm: pblk: use vmalloc for GC data buffer") Signed-off-by:

When a virtual block device is formatted and mounted after creating with "nvme lnvm create... -t pblk", a removal from "nvm lnvm remove" would result in this: 446416.309757] bdi-block not registered [446416.309773] ------------[ cut here ]------------ [446416.309780] WARNING: CPU: 3 PID: 4319 at fs/fs-writeback.c:2159 __mark_inode_dirty+0x268/0x340 Ideally removal should return -EBUSY as block device is mounted after formatting. This patch tries to address this checking if whole device or any partition of it already mounted or not before removal. Whole device is checked using "bd_super" member of block device. This member is always set once block device has been mounted using a filesystem. Another member "bd_part_count" takes care of checking any if any partitions are under use. "bd_part_count" is only updated under locks when partitions are opened or closed (first open and last release). This at least does take care sending -EBUSY if removal is being attempted while whole block device or any partition is mounted. Signed-off-by:

Legacy queue sets request's request_list, mq doesn't. This makes mq does the same thing, so we can find cgroup of a request. Note, we really only use blkg field of request_list, it's pointless to allocate mempool for request_list in mq case. Signed-off-by:

A null pointer dereference can occur when blkcg is removed manually with writeback IOs inflight. This is caused by the following case: Writeback kworker submit the bio and set bio->bi_cg_private to tg in blk_throtl_assoc_bio. Then we remove the block cgroup manually, the blkg and tg would be freed if there is no request inflight. When the submitted bio come back, blk_throtl_bio_endio() fetch the tg which was already freed. Fix this by increasing the refcount of blkg in funcion blk_throtl_assoc_bio() so that the blkg will not be freed until the bio_endio called. Reviewed-by:

Since commit 925a6efb ("Btrfs: stop using try_to_writeback_inodes_sb_nr to flush delalloc") this function hasn't been used outside so stop exporting it. In addition we merge it into try_to_writeback_inodes_sb() which is the only caller. Also change return type of try_to_writeback_inodes_sb to void as the only user ext4 doesn't care. Reviewed-by:

The commit "block, bfq: decrease burst size when queues in burst exit" introduced the decrement of burst_size on the removal of a bfq_queue from the burst list. Unfortunately, this decrement can happen to be performed even when burst size is already equal to 0, because of unbalanced decrements. A description follows of the cause of these unbalanced decrements, namely a wrong assumption, and of the way how this wrong assumption leads to unbalanced decrements. The wrong assumption is that a bfq_queue can exit only if the process associated with the bfq_queue has exited. This is false, because a bfq_queue, say Q, may exit also as a consequence of a merge with another bfq_queue. In this case, Q exits because the I/O of its associated process has been redirected to another bfq_queue. The decrement unbalance occurs because Q may then be re-created after a split, and added back to the current burst list, *without* incrementing burst_size. burst_size is not incremented because Q is not a new bfq_queue added to the burst list, but a bfq_queue only temporarily removed from the list, and, before the commit "bfq-sq, bfq-mq: decrease burst size when queues in burst exit", burst_size was not decremented when Q was removed. This commit addresses this issue by just checking whether the exiting bfq_queue is a merged bfq_queue, and, in that case, not decrementing burst_size. Unfortunately, this still leaves room for unbalanced decrements, in the following rarer case: on a split, the bfq_queue happens to be inserted into a different burst list than that it was removed from when merged. If this happens, the number of elements in the new burst list becomes higher than burst_size (by one). When the bfq_queue then exits, it is of course not in a merged state any longer, thus burst_size is decremented, which results in an unbalanced decrement. To handle this sporadic, unlucky case in a simple way, this commit also checks that burst_size is larger than 0 before decrementing it. Finally, this commit removes an useless, extra check: the check that the bfq_queue is sync, performed before checking whether the bfq_queue is in the burst list. This extra check is redundant, because only sync bfq_queues can be inserted into the burst list. Fixes: 7cb04004 ("block, bfq: decrease burst size when queues in burst exit") Reported-by:

Similarly to CFQ, BFQ has its write-throttling heuristics, and it is better not to combine them with further write-throttling heuristics of a different nature. So this commit disables write-back throttling for a device if BFQ is used as I/O scheduler for that device. Signed-off-by:

After disable periodic writeback by writing 0 to dirty_writeback_centisecs, the handler wb_workfn() will not be entered again until the dirty background limit reaches or sync syscall is executed or no enough free memory available or vmscan is triggered. So the periodic writeback can't be enabled by writing a non-zero value to dirty_writeback_centisecs. As it can be disabled by sysctl, it should be able to enable by sysctl as well. Reviewed-by:

Handle start-all writeback like we do periodic or kupdate style writeback - by marking the bdi_writeback as needing a full flush, and simply waking the thread. This eliminates the need to allocate and queue a specific work item just for this purpose. After this change, we truly only ever have one of them running at any point in time. We mark the need to start all flushes, and the writeback thread will clear it once it has processed the request. Reviewed-by:
