After the recent updates to use generation number and state based synchronization, we can easily replace REQ_ATOM_STARTED usages by adding an extra state to distinguish completed but not yet freed state. Add MQ_RQ_COMPLETE and replace REQ_ATOM_STARTED usages with blk_mq_rq_state() tests. REQ_ATOM_STARTED no longer has any users left and is removed. Signed-off-by:

After the recent updates to use generation number and state based synchronization, blk-mq no longer depends on REQ_ATOM_COMPLETE except to avoid firing the same timeout multiple times. Remove all REQ_ATOM_COMPLETE usages and use a new rq_flags flag RQF_MQ_TIMEOUT_EXPIRED to avoid firing the same timeout multiple times. This removes atomic bitops from hot paths too. v2: Removed blk_clear_rq_complete() from blk_mq_rq_timed_out(). v3: Added RQF_MQ_TIMEOUT_EXPIRED flag. Signed-off-by:

With issue/complete and timeout paths now using the generation number and state based synchronization, blk_abort_request() is the only one which depends on REQ_ATOM_COMPLETE for arbitrating completion. There's no reason for blk_abort_request() to be a completely separate path. This patch makes blk_abort_request() piggyback on the timeout path instead of trying to terminate the request directly. This removes the last dependency on REQ_ATOM_COMPLETE in blk-mq. Note that this makes blk_abort_request() asynchronous - it initiates abortion but the actual termination will happen after a short while, even when the caller owns the request. AFAICS, SCSI and ATA should be fine with that and I think mtip32xx and dasd should be safe but not completely sure. It'd be great if people who know the drivers take a look. v2: - Add comment explaining the lack of synchronization around ->deadline update as requested by Bart. Signed-off-by: -

blk_mq_check_inflight() and blk_mq_poll_hybrid_sleep() test REQ_ATOM_COMPLETE to determine the request state. Both uses are speculative and we can test REQ_ATOM_STARTED and blk_mq_rq_state() for equivalent results. Replace the tests. This will allow removing REQ_ATOM_COMPLETE usages from blk-mq.

Currently, blk-mq timeout path synchronizes against the usual issue/completion path using a complex scheme involving atomic bitflags, REQ_ATOM_*, memory barriers and subtle memory coherence rules. Unfortunately, it contains quite a few holes. There's a complex dancing around REQ_ATOM_STARTED and REQ_ATOM_COMPLETE between issue/completion and timeout paths; however, they don't have a synchronization point across request recycle instances and it isn't clear what the barriers add. blk_mq_check_expired() can easily read STARTED from N-2'th iteration, deadline from N-1'th, blk_mark_rq_complete() against Nth instance. In fact, it's pretty easy to make blk_mq_check_expired() terminate a later instance of a request. If we induce 5 sec delay before time_after_eq() test in blk_mq_check_expired(), shorten the timeout to 2s, and issue back-to-back large IOs, blk-mq starts timing out requests spuriously pretty quickly. Nothing actually timed out. It just made the call on a recycle instance of a request and then terminated a later instance long after the original instance finished. The scenario isn't theoretical either. This patch replaces the broken synchronization mechanism with a RCU and generation number based one. 1. Each request has a u64 generation + state value, which can be updated only by the request owner. Whenever a request becomes in-flight, the generation number gets bumped up too. This provides the basis for the timeout path to distinguish different recycle instances of the request. Also, marking a request in-flight and setting its deadline are protected with a seqcount so that the timeout path can fetch both values coherently. 2. The timeout path fetches the generation, state and deadline. If the verdict is timeout, it records the generation into a dedicated request abortion field and does RCU wait. 3. The completion path is also protected by RCU (from the previous patch) and checks whether the current generation number and state match the abortion field. If so, it skips completion. 4. The timeout path, after RCU wait, scans requests again and terminates the ones whose generation and state still match the ones requested for abortion. By now, the timeout path knows that either the generation number and state changed if it lost the race or the completion will yield to it and can safely timeout the request. While it's more lines of code, it's conceptually simpler, doesn't depend on direct use of subtle memory ordering or coherence, and hopefully doesn't terminate the wrong instance. While this change makes REQ_ATOM_COMPLETE synchronization unnecessary between issue/complete and timeout paths, REQ_ATOM_COMPLETE isn't removed yet as it's still used in other places. Future patches will move all state tracking to the new mechanism and remove all bitops in the hot paths. Note that this patch adds a comment explaining a race condition in BLK_EH_RESET_TIMER path. The race has always been there and this patch doesn't change it. It's just documenting the existing race. v2: - Fixed BLK_EH_RESET_TIMER handling as pointed out by Jianchao. - s/request->gstate_seqc/request->gstate_seq/ as suggested by Peter. - READ_ONCE() added in blk_mq_rq_update_state() as suggested by Peter. v3: - Fixed possible extended seqcount / u64_stats_sync read looping spotted by Peter. - MQ_RQ_IDLE was incorrectly being set in complete_request instead of free_request. Fixed. v4: - Rebased on top of hctx_lock() refactoring patch. - Added comment explaining the use of hctx_lock() in completion path. v5: - Added comments requested by Bart. - Note the addition of BLK_EH_RESET_TIMER race condition in the commit message.

For each pair [device for which bfq is selected as I/O scheduler, group in blkio/io], bfq maintains a corresponding bfq group. Each such bfq group contains a set of async queues, with each async queue created on demand, i.e., when some I/O request arrives for it. On creation, an async queue gets an extra reference, to make sure that the queue is not freed as long as its bfq group exists. Accordingly, to allow the queue to be freed after the group exited, this extra reference must released on group exit. The above holds also for a bfq root group, i.e., for the bfq group corresponding to the root blkio/io root for a given device. Yet, by mistake, the references to the existing async queues of a root group are not released when the latter exits. This causes a memory leak when the instance of bfq for a given device exits. In a similar vein, bfqg_stats_xfer_dead is not executed for a root group. This commit fixes bfq_pd_offline so that the latter executes the above missing operations for a root group too. Reported-by:

Bcache needs to scale the dirty data in the cache over the multiple backing disks in order to calculate writeback rates for each. The previous code did this by multiplying the target number of dirty sectors by the backing device size, and expected it to fit into a uint64_t; this blows up on relatively small backing devices. The new approach figures out the bdev's share in 16384ths of the overall cached data. This is chosen to cope well when bdevs drastically vary in size and to ensure that bcache can cross the petabyte boundary for each backing device. This has been improved based on Tang Junhui's feedback to ensure that every device gets a share of dirty data, no matter how small it is compared to the total backing pool. The existing mechanism is very limited; this is purely a bug fix to remove limits on volume size. However, there still needs to be change to make this "fair" over many volumes where some are idle.

Bcache only does recoverable I/O for read operations by calling cached_dev_read_error(). For write opertions there is no I/O recovery for failed requests. But in bch_count_io_errors() no matter read or write I/Os, before errors counter reaches io error limit, pr_err() always prints "IO error on %, recoverying". For write requests this information is misleading, because there is no I/O recovery at all. This patch adds a parameter 'is_read' to bch_count_io_errors(), and only prints "recovering" by pr_err() when the bio direction is READ. Signed-off-by:

Member devices of struct cache_set is used to reference all attached bcache devices to this cache set. If it is treated as array of pointers, size of devices[] is indicated by member nr_uuids of struct cache_set. nr_uuids is calculated in drivers/md/super.c:bch_cache_set_alloc(), bucket_bytes(c) / sizeof(struct uuid_entry) Bucket size is determined by user space tool "make-bcache", by default it is 1024 sectors (defined in bcache-tools/make-bcache.c:main()). So default nr_uuids value is 4096 from the above calculation. Every time when bcache code iterates bcache devices of a cache set, all the 4096 pointers are checked even only 1 bcache device is attached to the cache set, that's a wast of time and unncessary. This patch adds a member devices_max_used to struct cache_set. Its value is 1 + the maximum used index of devices[] in a cache set. When iterating all valid bcache devices of a cache set, use c->devices_max_used in for-loop may reduce a lot of useless checking. Personally, my motivation of this patch is not for performance, I use it in bcache debugging, which helps me to narrow down the scape to check valid bcached devices of a cache set. Signed-off-by:

The function cached_dev_make_request() and flash_dev_make_request() call generic_start_io_acct() with (struct bcache_device)->disk when they start a closure. Then the function bio_complete() calls generic_end_io_acct() with (struct search)->orig_bio->bi_disk when the closure has done. Since the `bi_disk` is not the bcache device, the generic_end_io_acct() is called with a wrong device queue. It causes the "inflight" (in struct hd_struct) counter keep increasing without decreasing. This patch fix the problem by calling generic_end_io_acct() with (struct bcache_device)->disk. Signed-off-by:

If the control system would wait for at least half a second, and there's been no reqs hitting the backing disk for awhile: use an alternate mode where we have at most one contiguous set of writebacks in flight at a time. (But don't otherwise delay). If front-end IO appears, it will still be quick, as it will only have to contend with one real operation in flight. But otherwise, we'll be sending data to the backing disk as quickly as it can accept it (with one op at a time). Signed-off-by:

Writeback keys are presently iterated and dispatched for writeback in order of the logical block address on the backing device. Multiple may be, in parallel, read from the cache device and then written back (especially when there are contiguous I/O). However-- there was no guarantee with the existing code that the writes would be issued in LBA order, as the reads from the cache device are often re-ordered. In turn, when writing back quickly, the backing disk often has to seek backwards-- this slows writeback and increases utilization. This patch introduces an ordering mechanism that guarantees that the original order of issue is maintained for the write portion of the I/O. Performance for writeback is significantly improved when there are multiple contiguous keys or high writeback rates. Signed-off-by:

In such scenario that there are some flash only volumes , and some cached devices, when many tasks request these devices in writeback mode, the write IOs may fall to the same bucket as bellow: | cached data | flash data | cached data | cached data| flash data| then after writeback of these cached devices, the bucket would be like bellow bucket: | free | flash data | free | free | flash data | So, there are many free space in this bucket, but since data of flash only volumes still exists, so this bucket cannot be reclaimable, which would cause waste of bucket space. In this patch, we segregate flash only volume write streams from cached devices, so data from flash only volumes and cached devices can store in different buckets. Compare to v1 patch, this patch do not add a additionally open bucket list, and it is try best to segregate flash only volume write streams from cached devices, sectors of flash only volumes may still be mixed with dirty sectors of cached device, but the number is very small.

Currently, when a cached device detaching from cache, writeback thread is not stopped, and writeback_rate_update work is not canceled. For example, after the following command: echo 1 >/sys/block/sdb/bcache/detach you can still see the writeback thread. Then you attach the device to the cache again, bcache will create another writeback thread, for example, after below command: echo ba0fb5cd-658a-4533-9806-6ce166d883b9 > /sys/block/sdb/bcache/attach then you will see 2 writeback threads. This patch stops writeback thread and cancels writeback_rate_update work when cached device detaching from cache.

The read request might meet error when searching the btree, but the error was not handled in cache_lookup(), and this kind of metadata failure will not go into cached_dev_read_error(), finally, the upper layer will receive bi_status=0. In this patch we judge the metadata error by the return value of bch_btree_map_keys(), there are two potential paths give rise to the error: 1. Because the btree is not totally cached in memery, we maybe get error when read btree node from cache device (see bch_btree_node_get()), the likely errno is -EIO, -ENOMEM 2. When read miss happens, bch_btree_insert_check_key() will be called to insert a "replace_key" to btree(see cached_dev_cache_miss(), just for doing preparatory work before insert the missed data to cache device), a failure can also happen in this situation, the likely errno is -ENOMEM bch_btree_map_keys() will return MAP_DONE in normal scenario, but we will get either -EIO or -ENOMEM in above two cases. if this happened, we should NOT recover data from backing device (when cache device is dirty) because we don't know whether bkeys the read request covered are all clean. And after that happened, s->iop.status is still its initially value(0) before we submit s->bio.bio, we set it to BLK_STS_IOERR, so it can go into cached_dev_read_error(), and finally it can be passed to upper layer, or recovered by reread from backing device.

Israel Rukshin authored
There is a problem when another module (e.g. nvmet) takes a reference on the nvme block device and the physical nvme drive is removed. In that case nvme_free_ctrl() will not be called and the controller state will be "deleting" or "dead" unless nvmet module releases the block device. Later on, the same nvme drive probes back and nvme_init_subsystem() will be called and fail due to duplicate subnqn (if the nvme device doesn't support subsystem with multiple controllers). This will cause a probe failure. This commit changes the check of multiple controllers support at nvme_init_subsystem() by not counting all the controllers at "dead" or "deleting" state (this is safe because controllers at this state will never be active again).

When non io queues or tagset allocation failed, ctrl enters into this state, scan work will not be started. But async event work and nvme dev ioctl will be still available.

NVMe transport driver module unload may (and usually does) trigger iteration over the active controllers and delete them all (sometimes under a mutex). However, a controller can be created concurrently with module unload which can lead to leakage of resources (most important char device node leakage) in case the controller creation occured after the unload delete and drain sequence. To protect against this, we take a module reference to guarantee that the nvme transport driver is not unloaded while creating a controller. Signed-off-by:

The current fc transport add_port routine validates that there is a matching port to the target port config. It then takes a reference on the targetport. The del_port removes the reference. Unfortunately, if the LLDD undergoes a hw reset or driver unload and wants to unreg the targetport, due to the reference, the targetport effectively can't be removed. It requires the admin to remove the port from the nvmet config first, which calls the del_port. Note: it appears nvmetcli clear skips over the del_port call (I'm not attempting to change that). There's no real reason to take the reference. With FC, there is nothing to enable or disable as the presence of the FC targetport implicitly means its enabled, and removal of the targtport means its disabled. Change add_port to simply validate and change remove_port to a noop. No references are taken on the targetport. Signed-off-by:
