cfq-iosched: Don't update group weights when on service tree

Version 3 is updated to apply to for-2.6.39/core.

For version 2, I took Vivek's advice and made sure we update the group
weight from cfq_group_service_tree_add().

If a weight was updated while a group is on the service tree, the
calculation for the total weight of the service tree can be adjusted
improperly, which either leads to bad service tree weights, or
potentially crashes (if total_weight becomes 0).

This patch defers updates to the weight until a group is off the service
tree.

blktrace: Use rq->cmd_flags directly in blk_add_trace_rq.

In blk_add_trace_rq, we only chose the minor 2 bits from
request's cmd_flags and did some check for discard.
so most of other flags(e.g, REQ_SYNC) are missing.

For example, with a sync write after blkparse we get:
  8,16   1        1     0.001776503  7509  A  WS 1349632 + 1024 <- (8,17) 1347584

it is safe to pass rq->cmd_flags directly to __blk_add_trace.

block: initial patch for on-stack per-task plugging

This patch adds support for creating a queuing context outside
of the queue itself. This enables us to batch up pieces of IO
before grabbing the block device queue lock and submitting them to
the IO scheduler.

The context is created on the stack of the process and assigned in
the task structure, so that we can auto-unplug it if we hit a schedule
event.

The current queue plugging happens implicitly if IO is submitted to
an empty device, yet callers have to remember to unplug that IO when
they are going to wait for it. This is an ugly API and has caused bugs
in the past. Additionally, it requires hacks in the vm (->sync_page()
callback) to handle that logic. By switching to an explicit plugging
scheme we make the API a lot nicer and can get rid of the ->sync_page()

ide: Convert to bdops->check_events()

Convert ->media_changed() to the new ->check_events() method.  The
conversion is mostly mechanical.  The only notable change is that
cdrom now doesn't generate any event if @slot_nr isn't CDSL_CURRENT.
It used to return -EINVAL which would be treated as media changed.  As
media changer isn't supported anyway, this doesn't make any
difference.

This makes ide emit the standard disk events and allows kernel event
polling.  Currently, only MEDIA_CHANGE event is implemented.  Adding
support for EJECT_REQUEST shouldn't be difficult; however, given that
ide driver is already deprecated, it probably is best to leave it
alone.

This patch reverts above change and does not try to shutdown the

throtl_shutdown_timer_wq() from blk_sync_queue(), we should also avoid
the problem reported by Ingo.

blk_sync_queue() seems to be used only by md driver and it seems to be

own unplug functions and it is about to free up the data structures
used by unplug_fn(). Block throttle does not call back into unplug_fn()
or into md. So there is no need to cancel blk throttle work.

In fact I think cancelling block throttle work is bad because it might
happen that some bios are throttled and scheduled to be dispatched later
with the help of pending work and if work is cancelled, these bios might
never be dispatched.

Block layer also uses blk_sync_queue() during blk_cleanup_queue() and
blk_release_queue() time. That should be safe as we are also calling
blk_throtl_exit() which should make sure all the throttling related

There does not seem to be a clear convention whether q->queue_lock is
initialized or not when blk_cleanup_queue() is called. In the past it
was not necessary but now blk_throtl_exit() takes up queue lock by
default and needs queue lock to be available.

In fact elevator_exit() code also has similar requirement just that it
is less stringent in the sense that elevator_exit() is called only if
elevator is initialized.

Two problems have been noticed because of ambiguity about spin lock
status.

      - If a driver calls blk_alloc_queue() and then soon calls
        blk_cleanup_queue() almost immediately, (because some other
driver structure allocation failed or some other error happened)
then blk_throtl_exit() will run into issues as queue lock is not
initialized. Loop driver ran into this issue recently and I
noticed error paths in md driver too. Similar error paths should
exist in other drivers too.

      - If some driver provided external spin lock and zapped the lock
        before blk_cleanup_queue(), then it can lead to issues.

So this patch initializes the default queue lock at queue allocation time.

block throttling code is one of the users of queue lock and it is
initialized at the queue allocation time, so it makes sense to
initialize ->queue_lock also to internal lock. A driver can overide that
lock later. This will take care of the issue where a driver does not have
to worry about initializing the queue lock to default before calling
blk_cleanup_queue()

The setting group_isolation=0 was because by default we idle on

However, this problem can also be addressed by tuning slice_idle and

blk-throttle: Do not use kblockd workqueue for throtl work

o Dominik Klein reported a system hang issue while doing some blkio
  throttling testing.

  https://lkml.org/lkml/2011/2/24/173

o Some tracing revealed that CFQ was not dispatching any more jobs as
  queue unplug was not happening. And queue unplug was not happening
  because unplug work was not being called as there was one throttling
  work on same cpu which as not finished yet. And throttling work had not
  finished as it was tyring to dispatch a bio to CFQ but all the request
  descriptors were consume to it was put to sleep.

o So basically it is a cyclic dependecny between CFQ unplug work and
  throtl dispatch work. Tejun suggested that use separate workqueue for
  such cases.

o This patch uses a separate workqueue for throttle related work and
  does not rely on kblockd workqueue anymore.

Mel Gorman [Fri, 25 Feb 2011 22:44:20 +0000 (14:44 -0800)]
mm: vmscan: stop reclaim/compaction earlier due to insufficient progress if !__GFP_REPEAT

should_continue_reclaim() for reclaim/compaction allows scanning to
continue even if pages are not being reclaimed until the full list is
scanned.  In terms of allocation success, this makes sense but potentially
it introduces unwanted latency for high-order allocations such as
transparent hugepages and network jumbo frames that would prefer to fail
the allocation attempt and fallback to order-0 pages.  Worse, there is a
potential that the full LRU scan will clear all the young bits, distort
page aging information and potentially push pages into swap that would
have otherwise remained resident.

This patch will stop reclaim/compaction if no pages were reclaimed in the
last SWAP_CLUSTER_MAX pages that were considered.  For allocations such as
hugetlbfs that use __GFP_REPEAT and have fewer fallback options, the full
LRU list may still be scanned.

Order-0 allocation should not be affected because RECLAIM_MODE_COMPACTION
is not set so the following avoids the gfp_mask being examined:

        if (!(sc->reclaim_mode & RECLAIM_MODE_COMPACTION))
                return false;

A tool was developed based on ftrace that tracked the latency of
high-order allocations while transparent hugepage support was enabled and
three benchmarks were run.  The "fix-infinite" figures are 2.6.38-rc4 with
Johannes's patch "vmscan: fix zone shrinking exit when scan work is done"
applied.

allocation latency is also reduced.  That said, allocation time varies so
significantly that the reductions are within noise.

Max allocation time is reduced by a significant amount for low-order
allocations but reduced for THP allocations which presumably are now

allocations is also slightly reduced albeit the reductions are within

quite heavily and is intended to exercise THP a bit.

Mean allocation time for order-1 is reduced as before.  It's also reduced
for THP allocations but the variations here are pretty massive due to
swap.  As before, maximum allocation times are significantly reduced.

Overall, the patch reduces the mean and maximum allocation latencies for
the smaller high-order allocations.  This was with Slab configured so it
would be expected to be more significant with Slub which uses these size
allocations more aggressively.

The mean allocation times for THP allocations are also slightly reduced.
The maximum latency was slightly increased as predicted by the comments
due to reclaim/compaction breaking early.  However, workloads care more
about the latency of lower-order allocations than THP so it's an
acceptable trade-off.

Davide Libenzi [Fri, 25 Feb 2011 22:44:12 +0000 (14:44 -0800)]
epoll: prevent creating circular epoll structures

In several places, an epoll fd can call another file's ->f_op->poll()
method with ep->mtx held.  This is in general unsafe, because that other
file could itself be an epoll fd that contains the original epoll fd.

The code defends against this possibility in its own ->poll() method using
ep_call_nested, but there are several other unsafe calls to ->poll
elsewhere that can be made to deadlock.  For example, the following simple
program causes the call in ep_insert recursively call the original fd's
->poll, leading to deadlock:

 #include <unistd.h>
 #include <sys/epoll.h>

 int main(void) {
     int e1, e2, p[2];
     struct epoll_event evt = {
         .events = EPOLLIN
     };

     e1 = epoll_create(1);
     e2 = epoll_create(2);
     pipe(p);

     epoll_ctl(e2, EPOLL_CTL_ADD, e1, &evt);
     epoll_ctl(e1, EPOLL_CTL_ADD, p[0], &evt);
     write(p[1], p, sizeof p);
     epoll_ctl(e1, EPOLL_CTL_ADD, e2, &evt);

     return 0;
 }

On insertion, check whether the inserted file is itself a struct epoll,
and if so, do a recursive walk to detect whether inserting this file would
create a loop of epoll structures, which could lead to deadlock.
