Now there is variable bcache_is_reboot to prevent device register or unregister during reboot, it is unncessary to still hold mutex lock bch_register_lock before stopping writeback_rate_update kworker and writeback kthread. And if the stopping kworker or kthread holding bch_register_lock inside their routine (we used to have such problem in writeback thread, thanks to Junhui Wang fixed it), it is very easy to introduce deadlock during reboot/shutdown procedure. Therefore in this patch, the location to acquire bch_register_lock is moved to the location before calling calc_cached_dev_sectors(). Which is later then original location in cached_dev_detach_finish(). Signed-off-by:

It is quite frequently to observe deadlock in bcache_reboot() happens and hang the system reboot process. The reason is, in bcache_reboot() when calling bch_cache_set_stop() and bcache_device_stop() the mutex bch_register_lock is held. But in the process to stop cache set and bcache device, bch_register_lock will be acquired again. If this mutex is held here, deadlock will happen inside the stopping process. The aftermath of the deadlock is, whole system reboot gets hung. The fix is to avoid holding bch_register_lock for the following loops in bcache_reboot(), list_for_each_entry_safe(c, tc, &bch_cache_sets, list) bch_cache_set_stop(c); list_for_each_entry_safe(dc, tdc, &uncached_devices, list) bcache_device_stop(&dc->disk); A module range variable 'bcache_is_reboot' is added, it sets to true in bcache_reboot(). In register_bcache(), if bcache_is_reboot is checked to be true, reject the registration by returning -EBUSY immediately. Signed-off-by: -

In bch_cached_dev_attach() after bch_cached_dev_writeback_start() called, the wrireback kthread and writeback rate update kworker of the cached device are created, if the following bch_cached_dev_run() failed, bch_cached_dev_attach() will return with -ENOMEM without stopping the writeback related kthread and kworker. This patch stops writeback kthread and writeback rate update kworker before returning -ENOMEM if bch_cached_dev_run() returns error. Signed-off-by:

Commit 9baf3097 ("bcache: fix for gc and write-back race") added a new work queue dc->writeback_write_wq, but forgot to destroy it in the error condition when creating dc->writeback_thread failed. This patch destroys dc->writeback_write_wq if kthread_create() returns error pointer to dc->writeback_thread, then a memory leak is avoided.

In bch_cached_dev_files[] from driver/md/bcache/sysfs.c, sysfs_errors is incorrectly inserted in. The correct entry should be sysfs_io_errors. This patch fixes the problem and now I/O errors of cached device can be read from /sys/block/bcache<N>/bcache/io_errors. Fixes: c7b7bd07 ("bcache: add io_disable to struct cached_dev") Signed-off-by:

If a bcache device is in dirty state and its cache set is not registered, this bcache device will not appear in /dev/bcache<N>, and there is no way to stop it or remove the bcache kernel module. This is an as-designed behavior, but sometimes people has to reboot whole system to release or stop the pending backing device. This sysfs interface may remove such pending bcache devices when write anything into the sysfs file manually. Signed-off-by:

The purpose of following code in bset_search_tree() is to avoid a branch instruction, 994 if (likely(f->exponent != 127)) 995 n = j * 2 + (((unsigned int) 996 (f->mantissa - 997 bfloat_mantissa(search, f))) >> 31); 998 else 999 n = (bkey_cmp(tree_to_bkey(t, j), search) > 0) 1000 ? j * 2 1001 : j * 2 + 1; This piece of code is not very clear to understand, even when I tried to add code comment for it, I made mistake. This patch removes the implict bit operation and uses explicit branch to calculate next location in binary tree search. Signed-off-by:

This patch adds more error message in bch_cached_dev_run() to indicate the exact reason why an error value is returned. Please notice when printing out the "is running already" message, pr_info() is used here, because in this case also -EBUSY is returned, the bcache device can continue to attach to the cache devince and run, so it won't be an error level message in kernel message.

When too many I/O errors happen on cache set and CACHE_SET_IO_DISABLE bit is set, bch_journal() may continue to work because the journaling bkey might be still in write set yet. The caller of bch_journal() may believe the journal still work but the truth is in-memory journal write set won't be written into cache device any more. This behavior may introduce potential inconsistent metadata status. This patch checks CACHE_SET_IO_DISABLE bit at the head of bch_journal(), if the bit is set, bch_journal() returns NULL immediately to notice caller to know journal does not work. Signed-off-by:

If CACHE_SET_IO_DISABLE of a cache set flag is set by too many I/O errors, currently allocator routines can still continue allocate space which may introduce inconsistent metadata state. This patch checkes CACHE_SET_IO_DISABLE bit in following allocator routines, - bch_bucket_alloc() - __bch_bucket_alloc_set() Once CACHE_SET_IO_DISABLE is set on cache set, the allocator routines may reject allocation request earlier to avoid potential inconsistent metadata.

Function bch_btree_keys_init() initializes b->set[].size and b->set[].data to zero. As the code comments indicates, these code indeed is unncessary, because both struct btree_keys and struct bset_tree are nested embedded into struct btree, when struct btree is filled with 0 bits by kzalloc() in mca_bucket_alloc(), b->set[].size and b->set[].data are initialized to 0 (a.k.a NULL) already. This patch removes the redundant code, and add comments in bch_btree_keys_init() and mca_bucket_alloc() to explain why it's safe. Signed-off-by:

The arrays (of strings) that are passed to __sysfs_match_string() are static, so use sysfs_match_string() which does an implicit ARRAY_SIZE() over these arrays. Functionally, this doesn't change anything. The change is more cosmetic. It only shrinks the static arrays by 1 byte each. Signed-off-by:

In function bset_search_tree(), when p >= t->size, t->tree[0] will be prefetched by the following code piece, 974 unsigned int p = n << 4; 975 976 p &= ((int) (p - t->size)) >> 31; 977 978 prefetch(&t->tree[p]); The purpose of the above code is to avoid a branch instruction, but when p >= t->size, prefetch(&t->tree[0]) has no positive performance contribution at all. This patch avoids the unncessary prefetch by only calling prefetch() when p < t->size. Signed-off-by:

When backing device super block is written by bch_write_bdev_super(), the bio complete callback write_bdev_super_endio() simply ignores I/O status. Indeed such write request also contribute to backing device health status if the request failed. This patch checkes bio->bi_status in write_bdev_super_endio(), if there is error, bch_count_backing_io_errors() will be called to count an I/O error to dc->io_errors. Signed-off-by:

When md raid device (e.g. raid456) is used as backing device, read-ahead requests on a degrading and recovering md raid device might be failured immediately by md raid code, but indeed this md raid array can still be read or write for normal I/O requests. Therefore such failed read-ahead request are not real hardware failure. Further more, after degrading and recovering accomplished, read-ahead requests will be handled by md raid array again. For such condition, I/O failures of read-ahead requests don't indicate real health status (because normal I/O still be served), they should not be counted into I/O error counter dc->io_errors. Since there is no simple way to detect whether the backing divice is a md raid device, this patch simply ignores I/O failures for read-ahead bios on backing device, to avoid bogus backing device failure on a degrading md raid array.

When cache_set_flush() is called for too many I/O errors detected on cache device and the cache set is retiring, inside the function it doesn't make sense to flushing cached btree nodes from c->btree_cache because CACHE_SET_IO_DISABLE is set on c->flags already and all I/Os onto cache device will be rejected. This patch checks in cache_set_flush() that whether CACHE_SET_IO_DISABLE is set. If yes, then avoids to flush the cached btree nodes to reduce more time and make cache set retiring more faster.

This reverts commit 6147305c. Although this patch helps the failed bcache device to stop faster when too many I/O errors detected on corresponding cached device, setting CACHE_SET_IO_DISABLE bit to cache set c->flags was not a good idea. This operation will disable all I/Os on cache set, which means other attached bcache devices won't work neither. Without this patch, the failed bcache device can also be stopped eventually if internal I/O accomplished (e.g. writeback). Therefore here I revert it.

When everything is OK in bch_journal_read(), finally the return value is returned by, return ret; which assumes ret will be 0 here. This assumption is wrong when all journal buckets as are full and filled with valid journal entries. In such cache the last location referencess read_bucket() sets 'ret' to 1, which means new jset added into jset list. The jset list is list 'journal' in caller run_cache_set(). Return 1 to run_cache_set() means something wrong and the cache set won't start, but indeed everything is OK. This patch changes the line at end of bch_journal_read() to directly return 0 since everything if verything is good. Then a bogus error is fixed. Signed-off-by:

When system memory is in heavy pressure, bch_gc_thread_start() from run_cache_set() may fail due to out of memory. In such condition, c->gc_thread is assigned to -ENOMEM, not NULL pointer.

When gc is running, user space I/O processes may wait inside bcache code, so no new I/O coming. Indeed this is not a real idle time, maximum writeback rate should not be set in such situation. Otherwise a faster writeback thread may compete locks with gc thread and makes garbage collection slower, which results a longer I/O freeze period. This patch checks c->gc_mark_valid in set_at_max_writeback_rate(). If c->gc_mark_valid is 0 (gc running), set_at_max_writeback_rate() returns false, then update_writeback_rate() will not set writeback rate to maximum value even c->idle_counter reaches an idle threshold. Now writeback thread won't interfere gc thread performance. Signed-off-by:

Some debug code suggested by Paolo was tripping when I did reboot stress tests. Specifically in bfq_bfqq_resume_state() "bic->saved_wr_start_at_switch_to_srt" was later than the current value of "jiffies". A bit of debugging showed that "bic->saved_wr_start_at_switch_to_srt" was actually 0 and a bit more debugging showed that was because we had run through the "unlikely" case in the bfq_bfqq_save_state() function. Let's init "saved_wr_start_at_switch_to_srt" in the unlikely case to something sane. NOTE: this fixes no known real-world errors. Reviewed-by:

Consider, on one side, a bfq_queue Q that remains empty while in service, and, on the other side, the pending I/O of bfq_queues that, according to their timestamps, have to be served after Q. If an uncontrolled amount of I/O from the latter bfq_queues were dispatched while Q is waiting for its new I/O to arrive, then Q's bandwidth guarantees would be violated. To prevent this, I/O dispatch is plugged until Q receives new I/O (except for a properly controlled amount of injected I/O). Unfortunately, preemption breaks I/O-dispatch plugging, for the following reason. Preemption is performed in two steps. First, Q is expired and re-scheduled. Second, the new bfq_queue to serve is chosen. The first step is needed by the second, as the second can be performed only after Q's timestamps have been properly updated (done in the expiration step), and Q has been re-queued for service. This dependency is a consequence of the way how BFQ's scheduling algorithm is currently implemented. But Q is not re-scheduled at all in the first step, because Q is empty. As a consequence, an uncontrolled amount of I/O may be dispatched until Q becomes non empty again. This breaks Q's service guarantees. This commit addresses this issue by re-scheduling Q even if it is empty. This in turn breaks the assumption that all scheduled queues are non empty. Then a few extra checks are now needed.

BFQ enqueues the I/O coming from each process into a separate bfq_queue, and serves bfq_queues one at a time. Each bfq_queue may be served for at most timeout_sync milliseconds (default: 125 ms). This service scheme is prone to the following inaccuracy. While a bfq_queue Q1 is in service, some empty bfq_queue Q2 may receive I/O, and, according to BFQ's scheduling policy, may become the right bfq_queue to serve, in place of the currently in-service bfq_queue. In this respect, postponing the service of Q2 to after the service of Q1 finishes may delay the completion of Q2's I/O, compared with an ideal service in which all non-empty bfq_queues are served in parallel, and every non-empty bfq_queue is served at a rate proportional to the bfq_queue's weight. This additional delay is equal at most to the time Q1 may unjustly remain in service before switching to Q2. If Q1 and Q2 have the same weight, then this time is most likely negligible compared with the completion time to be guaranteed to Q2's I/O. In addition, first, one of the reasons why BFQ may want to serve Q1 for a while is that this boosts throughput and, second, serving Q1 longer reduces BFQ's overhead. As a conclusion, it is usually better not to preempt Q1 if both Q1 and Q2 have the same weight. In contrast, as Q2's weight or priority becomes higher and higher compared with that of Q1, the above delay becomes larger and larger, compared with the I/O completion times that have to be guaranteed to Q2 according to Q2's weight. So reducing this delay may be more important than avoiding the costs of preempting Q1. Accordingly, this commit preempts Q1 if Q2 has a higher weight or a higher priority than Q1. Preemption causes Q1 to be re-scheduled, and triggers a new choice of the next bfq_queue to serve. If Q2 really is the next bfq_queue to serve, then Q2 will be set in service immediately. This change reduces the component of the I/O latency caused by the above delay by about 80%. For example, on an (old) PLEXTOR PX-256M5 SSD, the maximum latency reported by fio drops from 15.1 to 3.2 ms for a process doing sporadic random reads while another process is doing continuous sequential reads.

A bfq_queue Q may happen to be synchronized with another bfq_queue Q2, i.e., the I/O of Q2 may need to be completed for Q to receive new I/O. We call Q2 "waker queue". If I/O plugging is being performed for Q, and Q is not receiving any more I/O because of the above synchronization, then, thanks to BFQ's injection mechanism, the waker queue is likely to get served before the I/O-plugging timeout fires. Unfortunately, this fact may not be sufficient to guarantee a high throughput during the I/O plugging, because the inject limit for Q may be too low to guarantee a lot of injected I/O. In addition, the duration of the plugging, i.e., the time before Q finally receives new I/O, may not be minimized, because the waker queue may happen to be served only after other queues. To address these issues, this commit introduces the explicit detection of the waker queue, and the unconditional injection of a pending I/O request of the waker queue on each invocation of bfq_dispatch_request(). One may be concerned that this systematic injection of I/O from the waker queue delays the service of Q's I/O. Fortunately, it doesn't. On the contrary, next Q's I/O is brought forward dramatically, for it is not blocked for milliseconds. Reported-by:

Until the base value for request service times gets finally computed for a bfq_queue, the inject limit for that queue does depend on the think-time state (short|long) of the queue. A timely update of the think time then guarantees a quicker activation or deactivation of the injection. Fortunately, the think time of a bfq_queue is updated in the same code path as the inject limit; but after the inject limit. This commits moves the update of the think time before the update of the inject limit. For coherence, it moves the update of the seek time too. Reported-by:

I/O injection gets reduced if it increases the request service times of the victim queue beyond a certain threshold. The threshold, in its turn, is computed as a function of the base service time enjoyed by the queue when it undergoes no injection. As a consequence, for injection to work properly, the above base value has to be accurate. In this respect, such a value may vary over time. For example, it varies if the size or the spatial locality of the I/O requests in the queue change. It is then important to update this value whenever possible. This commit performs this update.

One of the cases where the parameters for injection may be updated is when there are no more in-flight I/O requests. The number of in-flight requests is stored in the field bfqd->rq_in_driver of the descriptor bfqd of the device. So, the controlled condition is bfqd->rq_in_driver == 0. Unfortunately, this is wrong because, the instruction that checks this condition is in the code path that handles the completion of a request, and, in particular, the instruction is executed before bfqd->rq_in_driver is decremented in such a code path. This commit fixes this issue by just replacing 0 with 1 in the comparison. Reported-by:

Until the base value of the request service times gets finally computed for a bfq_queue, the inject limit does depend on the think-time state (short|long). The limit must be 0 or 1 if the think time is deemed, respectively, as short or long. However, such a check and possible limit update is performed only periodically, once per second. So, to make the injection mechanism much more reactive, this commit performs the update also every time the think-time state changes. In addition, in the following special case, this commit lets the inject limit of a bfq_queue bfqq remain equal to 1 even if bfqq's think time is short: bfqq's I/O is synchronized with that of some other queue, i.e., bfqq may receive new I/O only after the I/O of the other queue is completed. Keeping the inject limit to 1 allows the blocking I/O to be served while bfqq is in service. And this is very convenient both for bfqq and for the total throughput, as explained in detail in the comments in bfq_update_has_short_ttime(). Reported-by:

Currenlty fault injection support for nvme only enables to inject errors into the commands submitted to I/O queues. In preparation for fault injection into the admin commands, this makes the helper functions independent of struct nvme_ns. Signed-off-by:

This patch introduces target-side request tracing. As Christoph suggested, the trace would not be in a core or module to avoid disadvantages like cache miss: http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/linux-nvme/2019-June/024721.html The target-side trace code is entirely based on the Johannes's trace code from the host side. It has lots of codes duplicated, but it would be better than having advantages mentioned above. It also traces not only fabrics commands, but also nvme normal commands. Once the codes to be shared gets bigger, then we can make it common as suggsted. This also removed the create_sq and create_cq trace parsing functions because it will be done by the connect fabrics command. Example: echo 1 > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/event/nvmet/nvmet_req_init/enable echo 1 > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/event/nvmet/nvmet_req_complete/enable cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/trace Signed-off-by:
