I am currently running a large bare metal instance (i3.metal) on EC2 with 72 cores, 512GB of RAM and NVME drives, with a 4.18 kernel. I have a workload that simulates a database workload and I am running into lockup issues when writeback throttling is enabled,with the hung task detector also kicking in. Crash dumps show that most CPUs (up to 50 of them) are all trying to get the wbt wait queue lock while trying to add themselves to it in __wbt_wait (see stack traces below).

The original intention of the code seems to be to wake up one thread only however, it uses wake_up_all() in __wbt_done(), and then uses the following check in __wbt_wait to have only one thread actually get out of the wait loop: if (waitqueue_active(&rqw->wait) && rqw->wait.head.next != &wait->entry) return false; The problem with this is that the wait entry in wbt_wait is define with DEFINE_WAIT, which uses the autoremove wakeup function. That means that the above check is invalid - the wait entry will have been removed from the queue already by the time we hit the check in the loop. Secondly, auto-removing the wait entries also means that the wait queue essentially gets reordered "randomly" (e.g. threads re-add themselves in the order they got to run after being woken up). Additionally, new requests entering wbt_wait might overtake requests that were queued earlier, because the wait queue will be (temporarily) empty after the wake_up_all, so the waitqueue_active check will not stop them. This can cause certain threads to starve under high load. The fix is to leave the woken up requests in the queue and remove them in finish_wait() once the current thread breaks out of the wait loop in __wbt_wait. This will ensure new requests always end up at the back of the queue, and they won't overtake requests that are already in the wait queue. With that change, the loop in wbt_wait is also in line with many other wait loops in the kernel. Waking up just one thread drastically reduces lock contention, as does moving the wait queue add/remove out of the loop. A significant drop in lockdep's lock contention numbers is seen when running the test application on the patched kernel. Signed-off-by:Anchal Agarwal <anchalag@amazon.com> Signed-off-by:

To avoid introducing problems like those fixed in commit f7068114 ("sr: pass down correctly sized SCSI sense buffer"), this creates a macro wrapper for scsi_execute() that verifies the size of the sense buffer similar to what was done for command string sizes in commit 3756f640 ("exec: avoid gcc-8 warning for get_task_comm"). Another solution could be to add a length argument to scsi_execute(), but this function already takes a lot of arguments and Jens was not fond of that approach. Additionally, this moves the SCSI_SENSE_BUFFERSIZE definition into scsi_device.h, and removes a redundant include for scsi_device.h from scsi_cmnd.h. Reviewed-by:

The passed 'nr' from userspace represents the total depth, meantime inside 'struct blk_mq_tags', 'nr_tags' stores the total tag depth, and 'nr_reserved_tags' stores the reserved part. There are two issues in blk_mq_tag_update_depth() now: 1) for growing tags, we should have used the passed 'nr', and keep the number of reserved tags not changed. 2) the passed 'nr' should have been used for checking against 'tags->nr_tags', instead of number of the normal part. This patch fixes the above two cases, and avoids kernel crash caused by wrong resizing sbitmap queue. Cc: "Ewan D.

Currently, avg_lat is calculated by accumulating the mean of every window in a long running cumulative average. As time goes on, the metric becomes less and less useful due to the accumulated history. This patch reuses the same calculation done in load averages to make the avg_lat metric more lively. Unlike load averages, the avg only advances when a window elapses (due to an io). Idle periods extend the most recent window. Bucketing is used to limit the history of avg_lat by binding it to the window size. So, the window range for 1/exp (decay rate) is [1 min, 2.5 min) when windows elapse immediately. The current sample window size is exposed in the debug info to enable calculation of the window range. Signed-off-by:

We find the memory use-after-free issue in __blk_drain_queue() on the kernel 4.14. After read the latest kernel 4.18-rc6 we think it has the same problem. Memory is allocated for q->fq in the blk_init_allocated_queue(). If the elevator init function called with error return, it will run into the fail case to free the q->fq. Then the __blk_drain_queue() uses the same memory after the free of the q->fq, it will lead to the unpredictable event. The patch is to set q->fq as NULL in the fail case of blk_init_allocated_queue().

Allow creating non-default ANA groups (group ID > 1). Groups are created either by assigning the group ID to a namespace, or by creating a configfs group object under a specific port. All namespaces assigned to a group that doesn't have a configfs object for a given port are marked as inaccessible. Allow changing the ANA state on a per-port basis by creating an ana_groups directory under each port, and another directory with an ana_state file in it. The default ANA group 1 directory is created automatically for each port. For all changes in ANA configuration the ANA change AEN is sent. We only keep a global changecount instead of additional per-group changecounts to keep the implementation as simple as possible. Signed-off-by:

Add support for Asynchronous Namespace Access as specified in NVMe 1.3 TP 4004. Just add a default ANA group 1 that is optimized on all ports. This is (and will remain) the default assignment for any namespace not epxlicitly assigned to another ANA group. The ANA state can be manually changed through the configfs interface, including the change state. Includes fixes and improvements from Hannes Reinecke. Signed-off-by:

TP 4004 introduces a new 'Maximum Number of Allocated Namespaces' field in the Identify controller data to help the host size resources. Put an upper limit on the supported namespaces to be able to support this value as supporting 32-bits worth of namespaces would lead to very large buffers. The limit is completely arbitrary at this point. Signed-off-by:

Add support for Asynchronous Namespace Access as specified in NVMe 1.3 TP 4004. With ANA each namespace attached to a controller belongs to an ANA group that describes the characteristics of accessing the namespaces through this controller. In the optimized and non-optimized states namespaces can be accessed regularly, although in a multi-pathing environment we should always prefer to access a namespace through a controller where an optimized relationship exists. Namespaces in Inaccessible, Permanent-Loss or Change state for a given controller should not be accessed. The states are updated through reading the ANA log page, which is read once during controller initialization, whenever the ANA change notice AEN is received, or when one of the ANA specific status codes that signal a state change is received on a command. The ANA state is kept in the nvme_ns structure, which makes the checks in the fast path very simple. Updating the ANA state when reading the log page is also very simple, the only downside is that finding the initial ANA state when scanning for namespaces is a bit cumbersome. The gendisk for a ns_head is only registered once a live path for it exists. Without that the kernel would hang during partition scanning. Includes fixes and improvements from Hannes Reinecke.
