xen/blkback: fix disconnect while I/Os in flight
Today disconnecting xen-blkback is broken in case there are still
I/Os in flight: xen_blkif_disconnect() will bail out early without
releasing all resources in the hope it will be called again when
the last request has terminated. This, however, won't happen as
xen_blkif_free() won't be called on termination of the last running
request: xen_blkif_put() won't decrement the blkif refcnt to 0 as
xen_blkif_disconnect() didn't finish before thus some xen_blkif_put()
calls in xen_blkif_disconnect() didn't happen.
To solve this deadlock xen_blkif_disconnect() and
xen_blkif_alloc_rings() shouldn't use xen_blkif_put() and
xen_blkif_get() but use some other way to do their accounting of
resources.
This at once fixes another error in xen_blkif_disconnect(): when it
returned early with -EBUSY for another ring than 0 it would call
xen_blkif_put() again for already handled rings on a subsequent call.
This will lead to inconsistencies in the refcnt handling.

lightnvm: physical block device (pblk) target
This patch introduces pblk, a host-side translation layer for
Open-Channel SSDs to expose them like block devices. The translation
layer allows data placement decisions, and I/O scheduling to be
managed by the host, enabling users to optimize the SSD for their
specific workloads.
An open-channel SSD has a set of LUNs (parallel units) and a
collection of blocks. Each block can be read in any order, but
writes must be sequential. Writes may also fail, and if a block
requires it, must also be reset before new writes can be
applied.
To manage the constraints, pblk maintains a logical to
physical address (L2P) table, write cache, garbage
collection logic, recovery scheme, and logic to rate-limit
user I/Os versus garbage collection I/Os.
The L2P table is fully-associative and manages sectors at a
4KB granularity. Pblk stores the L2P table in two places, in
the out-of-band area of the media and on the last page of a
line. In the cause of a power failure, pblk will perform a
scan to recover the L2P table.
The user data is organized into lines. A line is data
striped across blocks and LUNs. The lines enable the host to
reduce the amount of metadata to maintain besides the user
data and makes it easier to implement RAID or erasure coding
in the future.
pblk implements multi-tenant support and can be instantiated
multiple times on the same drive. Each instance owns a
portion of the SSD - both regarding I/O bandwidth and
capacity - providing I/O isolation for each case.
Finally, pblk also exposes a sysfs interface that allows
user-space to peek into the internals of pblk. The interface
is available at /dev/block/*/pblk/ where * is the block
device name exposed.

nvme/lightnvm: Prevent small buffer overflow in nvme_nvm_identify
There are two closely named structs in lightnvm:
struct nvme_nvm_addr_format and
struct nvme_addr_format.
The first struct has 4 reserved bytes at the end, the second does not.
(gdb) p sizeof(struct nvme_nvm_addr_format)
$1 = 16
(gdb) p sizeof(struct nvm_addr_format)
$2 = 12
In the nvme_nvm_identify function we memcpy from the larger struct to the
smaller struct. We incorrectly pass the length of the larger struct
and overflow by 4 bytes, lets not do that.
The Kyber I/O scheduler is an I/O scheduler for fast devices designed to
scale to multiple queues. Users configure only two knobs, the target
read and synchronous write latencies, and the scheduler tunes itself to
achieve that latency goal.
The implementation is based on "tokens", built on top of the scalable
bitmap library. Tokens serve as a mechanism for limiting requests. There
are two tiers of tokens: queueing tokens and dispatch tokens.
A queueing token is required to allocate a request. In fact, these
tokens are actually the blk-mq internal scheduler tags, but the
scheduler manages the allocation directly in order to implement its
policy.
Dispatch tokens are device-wide and split up into two scheduling
domains: reads vs. writes. Each hardware queue dispatches batches
round-robin between the scheduling domains as long as tokens are
available for that domain.
These tokens can be used as the mechanism to enable various policies.
The policy Kyber uses is inspired by active queue management techniques
for network routing, similar to blk-wbt. The scheduler monitors
latencies and scales the number of dispatch tokens accordingly. Queueing
tokens are used to prevent starvation of synchronous requests by
asynchronous requests.
Various extensions are possible, including better heuristics and ionice
support. The new scheduler isn't set as the default yet.
blk-mq-sched: make completed_request() callback more useful
Currently, this callback is called right after put_request() and has no
distinguishable purpose. Instead, let's call it before put_request() as
soon as I/O has completed on the request, before we account it in
blk-stat. With this, Kyber can enable stats when it sees a latency
outlier and make sure the outlier gets accounted.
blk_mq_finish_request() is required for schedulers that define their own
put_request(). blk_mq_run_hw_queue() is required for schedulers that
hold back requests to be run later.
This operation supports the use case of limiting the number of bits that
can be allocated for a given operation. Rather than setting aside some
bits at the end of the bitmap, we can set aside bits in each word of the
bitmap. This means we can keep the allocation hints spread out and
support sbitmap_resize() nicely at the cost of lower granularity for the
allowed depth.

separate the policy of choosing the appropriate command. Create a

write: Zeroout assist not present, use regular WRITE
writesame: Allow WRITE SAME(10/16) with a zeroed payload
writesame_16_unmap: Allow WRITE SAME(16) with UNMAP
writesame_10_unmap: Allow WRITE SAME(10) with UNMAP
The last two are conditional on the device being thin provisioned with
LBPRZ=1 and LBPWS=1 or LBPWS10=1 respectively.
Whether to set the UNMAP bit or not depends on the REQ_NOUNMAP flag. And
if none of the _unmap variants are supported, regular WRITE SAME will be
used if the device supports it.
The zeroout_mode is exported in sysfs and the detected mode for a given
device can be overridden using the string constants above.
With this change in place we can now issue WRITE SAME(16) with UNMAP set
for block zeroing applications that require hard guarantees and
logical_block_size granularity. And at the same time use the UNMAP

If a .queue_rq() function returns BLK_MQ_RQ_QUEUE_BUSY then the block
driver that implements that function is responsible for rerunning the
hardware queue once requests can be queued again successfully.
commit e5e8a08737c8 ("blk-mq: Avoid that requeueing starts stopped
queues") removed the blk_mq_stop_hw_queue() call from scsi_queue_rq()
for the BLK_MQ_RQ_QUEUE_BUSY case. Hence change all calls to functions
that are intended to rerun a busy queue such that these examine all
hardware queues instead of only stopped queues.
Since no other functions than scsi_internal_device_block() and
scsi_internal_device_unblock() should ever stop or restart a SCSI
queue, change the blk_mq_delay_queue() call into a
blk_mq_delay_run_hw_queue() call.

Currently only dm and md/raid5 bios trigger
trace_block_bio_complete(). Now that we have bio_chain() and
bio_inc_remaining(), it is not possible, in general, for a driver to
know when the bio is really complete. Only bio_endio() knows that.
So move the trace_block_bio_complete() call to bio_endio().
Now trace_block_bio_complete() pairs with trace_block_bio_queue().
Any bio for which a 'queue' event is traced, will subsequently
generate a 'complete' event.
There are a few cases where completion tracing is not wanted.
1/ If blk_update_request() has already generated a completion
trace event at the 'request' level, there is no point generating
one at the bio level too. In this case the bi_sector and bi_size
will have changed, so the bio level event would be wrong
2/ If the bio hasn't actually been queued yet, but is being aborted
early, then a trace event could be confusing. Some filesystems
call bio_endio() but do not want tracing.
3/ The bio_integrity code interposes itself by replacing bi_end_io,
then restoring it and calling bio_endio() again. This would produce
two identical trace events if left like that.
To handle these, we introduce a flag BIO_TRACE_COMPLETION and only
produce the trace event when this is set.
We address point 1 above by clearing the flag in blk_update_request().
We address point 2 above by only setting the flag when
generic_make_request() is called.
We address point 3 above by clearing the flag after generating a
completion event.
When bio_split() is used on a bio, particularly in blk_queue_split(),
there is an extra complication. A new bio is split off the front, and
may be handle directly without going through generic_make_request().
The old bio, which has been advanced, is passed to
generic_make_request(), so it will trigger a trace event a second
time.
Probably the best result when a split happens is to see a single
'queue' event for the whole bio, then multiple 'complete' events - one
for each component. To achieve this was can:
- copy the BIO_TRACE_COMPLETION flag to the new bio in bio_split()
- avoid generating a 'queue' event if BIO_TRACE_COMPLETION is already set.
This way, the split-off bio won't create a queue event, the original
won't either even if it re-submitted to generic_make_request(),
but both will produce completion events, each for their own range.
So if generic_make_request() is called (which generates a QUEUED
event), then bi_endio() will create a single COMPLETE event for each
range that the bio is split into, unless the driver has explicitly
requested it not to.
blk-mq: remap queues when adding/removing hardware queues
blk_mq_update_nr_hw_queues() used to remap hardware queues, which is the
behavior that drivers expect. However, commit 44578e0dbc13 changed
blk_mq_queue_reinit() to not remap queues for the case of CPU
hotplugging, inadvertently making blk_mq_update_nr_hw_queues() not remap
queues as well. This breaks, for example, NBD's multi-connection mode,
leaving the added hardware queues unused. Fix it by making
blk_mq_update_nr_hw_queues() explicitly remap the queues.

In elevator_switch(), if blk_mq_init_sched() fails, we attempt to fall
back to the original scheduler. However, at this point, we've already
torn down the original scheduler's tags, so this causes a crash. Doing
the fallback like the legacy elevator path is much harder for mq, so fix
it by just falling back to none, instead.
blk-mq-sched: set up scheduler tags when bringing up new queues
If a new hardware queue is added at runtime, we don't allocate scheduler
tags for it, leading to a crash. This hooks up the scheduler framework
to blk_mq_{init,exit}_hctx() to make sure everything gets properly
initialized/freed.
blk-mq: use the right hctx when getting a driver tag fails
While dispatching requests, if we fail to get a driver tag, we mark the
hardware queue as waiting for a tag and put the requests on a
hctx->dispatch list to be run later when a driver tag is freed. However,
blk_mq_dispatch_rq_list() may dispatch requests from multiple hardware
queues if using a single-queue scheduler with a multiqueue device. If
blk_mq_get_driver_tag() fails, it doesn't update the hardware queue we
are processing. This means we end up using the hardware queue of the
previous request, which may or may not be the same as that of the
current request. If it isn't, the wrong hardware queue will end up
waiting for a tag, and the requests will be on the wrong dispatch list,
leading to a hang.
The fix is twofold:
1. Make sure we save which hardware queue we were trying to get a
request for in blk_mq_get_driver_tag() regardless of whether it
succeeds or not.
2. Make blk_mq_dispatch_rq_list() take a request_queue instead of a
blk_mq_hw_queue to make it clear that it must handle multiple
hardware queues, since I've already messed this up on a couple of
occasions.
This didn't appear in testing with nvme and mq-deadline because nvme has
more driver tags than the default number of scheduler tags. However,
with the blk_mq_update_nr_hw_queues() fix, it showed up with nbd.

cfq: Disable writeback throttling by default
Writeback throttling does not play well with CFQ since that also tries
to throttle async writes. As a result async writeback can get starved in
presence of readers. As an example take a benchmark simulating
postgreSQL database running over a standard rotating SATA drive. There
are 16 processes doing random reads from a huge file (2*machine memory),
1 process doing random writes to the huge file and calling fsync once
per 50000 writes and 1 process doing sequential 8k writes to a
relatively small file wrapping around at the end of the file and calling
fsync every 5 writes. Under this load read latency easily exceeds the
target latency of 75 ms (just because there are so many reads happening
against a relatively slow disk) and thus writeback is throttled to a
point where only 1 write request is allowed at a time. Blktrace data
then looks like:

So we can see a Q event for a write request, then IO is blocked by
writeback throttling and G and I events for the request happen only once
other writeback IO is completed. Thus CFQ always sees only one write
request. When it sees it, it queues the async queue behind all the read
queues and the async queue gets scheduled after about one second. When
it is scheduled, that one request gets dispatched and async queue is
expired as it has no more requests to submit. Overall we submit about
one write request per second.
Although this scheduling is beneficial for read latency, writes are
heavily starved and this causes large delays all over the system (due to
processes blocking on page lock, transaction starts, etc.). When
writeback throttling is disabled, write throughput is about one fifth of
a read throughput which roughly matches readers/writers ratio and
overall the system stalls are much shorter.
Mixing writeback throttling logic with CFQ throttling logic is always a
recipe for surprises as CFQ assumes it sees the big part of the picture
which is not necessarily true when writeback throttling is blocking
requests. So disable writeback throttling logic by default when CFQ is
used as an IO scheduler.
