2021-06-21blk-wbt: make sure throttle is enabled properlyZhang Yi
After commit a79050434b45 ("blk-rq-qos: refactor out common elements of blk-wbt"), if throttle was disabled by wbt_disable_default(), we could not enable again, fix this by set enable_state back to WBT_STATE_ON_DEFAULT.

2021-06-21blk-wbt: introduce a new disable state to prevent false positive by ↵Zhang Yi
rwb_enabled() Now that we disable wbt by simply zero out rwb->wb_normal in wbt_disable_default() when switch elevator to bfq, but it's not safe because it will become false positive if we change queue depth. If it become false positive between wbt_wait() and wbt_track() when submit write request, it will lead to drop rqw->inflight to -1 in wbt_done(), which will end up trigger IO hung. Fix this issue by introduce a new state which mean the wbt was disabled.

2019-10-06blk-wbt: fix performance regression in wbt scale_up/scale_downHarshad Shirwadkar
scale_up wakes up waiters after scaling up. But after scaling max, it should not wake up more waiters as waiters will not have anything to do. This patch fixes this by making scale_up (and also scale_down) return when threshold is reached. This bug causes increased fdatasync latency when fdatasync and dd conv=sync are performed in parallel on 4.19 compared to 4.14. This bug was introduced during refactoring of blk-wbt code.

2018-12-12block: deactivate blk_stat timer in wbt_disable_default()Ming Lei
rwb_enabled() can't be changed when there is any inflight IO. wbt_disable_default() may set rwb->wb_normal as zero, however the blk_stat timer may still be pending, and the timer function will update wrb->wb_normal again. This patch introduces blk_stat_deactivate() and applies it in wbt_disable_default(), then the following IO hang triggered when running parted & switching io scheduler can be fixed: [ 369.937806] INFO: task parted:3645 blocked for more than 120 seconds.

2018-10-11blk-wbt: wake up all when we scale up, not downJosef Bacik
Tetsuo brought to my attention that I screwed up the scale_up/scale_down helpers when I factored out the rq-qos code. We need to wake up all the waiters when we add slots for requests to make, not when we shrink the slots. Otherwise we'll end up things waiting forever. This was a mistake and simply puts everything back the way it was. cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Fixes: a79050434b45 ("blk-rq-qos: refactor out common elements of blk-wbt") eported-by: Tetsuo Handa <penguin-kernel@i-love.sakura.ne.jp> Signed-off-by: Josef Bacik <josef@toxicpanda.com> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@kernel.dk>

2018-08-27blk-wbt: improve waking of tasksJens Axboe
We have two potential issues: 1) After commit 2887e41b910b, we only wake one process at the time when we finish an IO. We really want to wake up as many tasks as can queue IO. Before this commit, we woke up everyone, which could cause a thundering herd issue. 2) A task can potentially consume two wakeups, causing us to (in practice) miss a wakeup. Fix both by providing our own wakeup function, which stops __wake_up_common() from waking up more tasks if we fail to get a queueing token. With the strict ordering we have on the wait list, this wakes the right tasks and the right amount of tasks. Based on a patch from Jianchao Wang <jianchao.w.wang@oracle.com>.

2018-08-23blk-wbt: don't maintain inflight counts if disabledJens Axboe
A previous commit removed the ability to have per-rq flags. We used those flags to maintain inflight counts. Since we don't have those anymore, we have to always maintain inflight counts, even if wbt is disabled. This is clearly suboptimal. Add a queue quiesce around changing the wbt latency settings from sysfs to work around this. With that, we can reliably put the enabled check in our bio_to_wbt_flags(), since we know the WBT_TRACKED flag will be consistent for the lifetime of the request.

2018-08-14blk-wbt: fix IO hang in wbt_wait()Ming Lei
On wbt invariant is that if one IO is tracked via WBT_TRACKED, rqw->inflight should be updated for tracking this IO. But commit c1c80384c8f ("block: remove external dependency on wbt_flags") forgets to remove the early handling of !rwb_enabled(rwb) inside wbt_wait(), then the inflight counter may not be increased in wbt_wait(), but decreased in wbt_done() for this kind of IO, so this counter may become negative, then wbt_wait() may wait forever.

2018-08-07blk-wbt: Avoid lock contention and thundering herd issue in wbt_waitAnchal Agarwal
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.

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.

2018-02-06blk-wbt: account flush requests correctlyJens Axboe
Mikulas reported a workload that saw bad performance, and figured out what it was due to various other types of requests being accounted as reads. Flush requests, for instance. Due to the high latency of those, we heavily throttle the writes to keep the latencies in balance. But they really should be accounted as writes. Fix this by checking the exact type of the request. If it's a read, account as a read, if it's a write or a flush, account as a write. Any other request we disregard. Previously everything would have been mistakenly accounted as reads.

2017-10-25locking/atomics: COCCINELLE/treewide: Convert trivial ACCESS_ONCE() patterns ↵Mark Rutland
to READ_ONCE()/WRITE_ONCE() Please do not apply this to mainline directly, instead please re-run the coccinelle script shown below and apply its output. For several reasons, it is desirable to use {READ,WRITE}_ONCE() in preference to ACCESS_ONCE(), and new code is expected to use one of the former. So far, there's been no reason to change most existing uses of ACCESS_ONCE(), as these aren't harmful, and changing them results in churn. However, for some features, the read/write distinction is critical to correct operation. To distinguish these cases, separate read/write accessors must be used. This patch migrates (most) remaining ACCESS_ONCE() instances to {READ,WRITE}_ONCE(), using the following coccinelle script: ---- // Convert trivial ACCESS_ONCE() uses to equivalent READ_ONCE() and // WRITE_ONCE() // $ make coccicheck COCCI=/home/mark/once.cocci SPFLAGS="--include-headers" MODE=patch virtual patch @ depends on patch @ expression E1, E2; @@ - ACCESS_ONCE(E1) = E2 + WRITE_ONCE(E1, E2) @ depends on patch @ expression E; @@ - ACCESS_ONCE(E) + READ_ONCE(E) ---- Signed-off-by: Mark Rutland <mark.rutland@arm.com> Signed-off-by: Paul E.

2017-06-20sched/wait: Disambiguate wq_entry->task_list and wq_head->task_list namingIngo Molnar
So I've noticed a number of instances where it was not obvious from the code whether ->task_list was for a wait-queue head or a wait-queue entry. Furthermore, there's a number of wait-queue users where the lists are not for 'tasks' but other entities (poll tables, etc.), in which case the 'task_list' name is actively confusing. To clear this all up, name the wait-queue head and entry list structure fields unambiguously: struct wait_queue_head::task_list => ::head struct wait_queue_entry::task_list => ::entry For example, this code: rqw->wait.task_list.next != &wait->task_list ... is was pretty unclear (to me) what it's doing, while now it's written this way: rqw->wait.head.next != &wait->entry ... which makes it pretty clear that we are iterating a list until we see the head. Other examples are: list_for_each_entry_safe(pos, next, &x->task_list, task_list) { list_for_each_entry(wq, &fence->wait.task_list, task_list) { ... where it's unclear (to me) what we are iterating, and during review it's hard to tell whether it's trying to walk a wait-queue entry (which would be a bug), while now it's written as: list_for_each_entry_safe(pos, next, &x->head, entry) { list_for_each_entry(wq, &fence->wait.head, entry) { Cc: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Cc: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Cc: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@kernel.org>
2017-06-20sched/wait: Rename wait_queue_t => wait_queue_entry_tIngo Molnar
Rename: wait_queue_t => wait_queue_entry_t 'wait_queue_t' was always a slight misnomer: its name implies that it's a "queue", but in reality it's a queue *entry*. The 'real' queue is the wait queue head, which had to carry the name. Start sorting this out by renaming it to 'wait_queue_entry_t'. This also allows the real structure name 'struct __wait_queue' to lose its double underscore and become 'struct wait_queue_entry', which is the more canonical nomenclature for such data types.
