Erorr handling for the scsi translation was completely broken, as there were two different positive error number spaces overlapping. Fix this up by removing one of them, and centralizing the generation of the other positive values in a single place. Also fix up a few places that didn't handle the NVMe error codes properly.

loop_clr_fd() can be run piggyback with lo_release(), and under this situation, reread partition may always fail because bd_mutex has been held already. This patch detects the situation by the reference count, and call __blkdev_reread_part() to avoid acquiring the lock again. In the meantime, this patch switches to new kernel APIs of blkdev_reread_part() and __blkdev_reread_part().

The lo_ctl_mutex is held for running all ioctl handlers, and in some ioctl handlers, ioctl_by_bdev(BLKRRPART) is called for rereading partitions, which requires bd_mutex. So it is easy to cause failure because trylock(bd_mutex) may fail inside blkdev_reread_part(), and follows the lock context: blkid or other application: ->open() ->mutex_lock(bd_mutex) ->lo_open() ->mutex_lock(lo_ctl_mutex) losetup(set fd ioctl): ->mutex_lock(lo_ctl_mutex) ->ioctl_by_bdev(BLKRRPART) ->trylock(bd_mutex) This patch trys to eliminate the ABBA lock dependency by removing lo_ctl_mutext in lo_open() with the following approach: 1) make lo_refcnt as atomic_t and avoid acquiring lo_ctl_mutex in lo_open(): - for open vs. add/del loop, no any problem because of loop_index_mutex - freeze request queue during clr_fd, so I/O can't come until clearing fd is completed, like the effect of holding lo_ctl_mutex in lo_open - both open() and release() have been serialized by bd_mutex already 2) don't hold lo_ctl_mutex for decreasing/checking lo_refcnt in lo_release(), then lo_ctl_mutex is only required for the last release.

Ming Lei authored
The only possible problem of using mutex_lock() instead of trylock is about deadlock. If there aren't any locks held before calling blkdev_reread_part(), deadlock can't be caused by this conversion. If there are locks held before calling blkdev_reread_part(), and if these locks arn't required in open, close handler and I/O path, deadlock shouldn't be caused too. Both user space's ioctl(BLKRRPART) and md_setup_drive() from init/do_mounts_md.c belongs to the 1st case, so the conversion is safe for the two cases. For loop, the previous patches in this pathset has fixed the ABBA lock dependency, so the conversion is OK. For nbd, tx_lock is held when calling the function: - both open and release won't hold the lock - when blkdev_reread_part() is run, I/O thread has been stopped already, so tx_lock won't be acquired in I/O path at that time. - so the conversion won't cause deadlock for nbd For dasd, both dasd_open(), dasd_release() and request function don't acquire any mutex/semphone, so the conversion should be safe.

This patch exports blkdev_reread_part() for block drivers, also introduce __blkdev_reread_part(). For some drivers, such as loop, reread of partitions can be run from the release path, and bd_mutex may already be held prior to calling ioctl_by_bdev(bdev, BLKRRPART, 0), so introduce __blkdev_reread_part for use in such cases.

Last patch makes plug work for multiple queue case. However it only works for single disk case, because it assumes only one request in the plug list. If a task is accessing multiple disks, eg MD/DM, the assumption is wrong. Let blk_attempt_plug_merge() record request from the same queue. V2: use NULL parameter in !mq case. Fix a bug. Add comments in blk_attempt_plug_merge to make it less (hopefully) confusion.

plug is still helpful for workload with IO merge, but it can be harmful otherwise especially with multiple hardware queues, as there is (supposed) no lock contention in this case and plug can introduce latency. For multiple queues, we do limited plug, eg plug only if there is request merge. If a request doesn't have merge with following request, the requet will be dispatched immediately. V2: check blk_queue_nomerges() as suggested by Jeff. Cc: Jens Axboe <axboe@fb.com> Cc: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de> Signed-off-by: Shaohua Li <shli@fb.com> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@fb.com>

The following appears in blk_sq_make_request: /* * If we have multiple hardware queues, just go directly to * one of those for sync IO. */ We clearly don't have multiple hardware queues, here! This comment was introduced with this commit 07068d5b (blk-mq: split make request handler for multi and single queue): We want slightly different behavior from them: - On single queue devices, we currently use the per-process plug for deferred IO and for merging. - On multi queue devices, we don't use the per-process plug, but we want to go straight to hardware for SYNC IO. The old code had this: use_plug = !is_flush_fua && ((q->nr_hw_queues == 1) || !is_sync); and that was converted to: use_plug = !is_flush_fua && !is_sync; which is not equivalent. For the single queue case, that second half of the && expression is always true. So, what I think was actually inteded follows (and this more closely matches what is done in blk_queue_bio).

block plug callback could sleep, so we introduce a parameter 'from_schedule' and corresponding drivers can use it to destinguish a schedule plug flush or a plug finish. Unfortunately io_schedule_out still uses blk_flush_plug(). This causes below output (Note, I added a might_sleep() in raid1_unplug to make it trigger faster, but the whole thing doesn't matter if I add might_sleep). In raid1/10, this can cause deadlock. This patch makes io_schedule_out always uses blk_schedule_flush_plug. This should only impact drivers (as far as I know, raid 1/10) which are sensitive to the 'from_schedule' parameter.

Current code looks like inner plug gets flushed with a blk_finish_plug(). Actually it's a nop. All requests/callbacks are added to current->plug, while only outmost plug is assigned to current->plug. So inner plug always has empty request/callback list, which makes blk_flush_plug_list() a nop. This tries to make the code more clear.

If there are too many pending per work I/O, too many high priority work thread can be generated so that system performance can be effected. This patch limits the max_active parameter of workqueue as 16. This patch fixes Fedora 22 live booting performance regression when it is booted from squashfs over dm based on loop, and looks the following reasons are related with the problem: - not like other filesyststems(such as ext4), squashfs is a bit special, and I observed that increasing I/O jobs to access file in squashfs only improve I/O performance a little, but it can make big difference for ext4 - nested loop: both squashfs.img and ext3fs.img are mounted as loop block, and ext3fs.img is inside the squashfs - during booting, lots of tasks may run concurrently Fixes: b5dd2f60 Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org (v4.0) Cc: Justin M.

Struct bio has a reference count that controls when it can be freed. Most uses cases is allocating the bio, which then returns with a single reference to it, doing IO, and then dropping that single reference. We can remove this atomic_dec_and_test() in the completion path, if nobody else is holding a reference to the bio. If someone does call bio_get() on the bio, then we flag the bio as now having valid count and that we must properly honor the reference count when it's being put.
