With the following two conditions, bio will be lost:
1) blk plug is not enabled, for example, __blkdev_direct_IO_simple() and
__blkdev_direct_IO_async();
2) bio plug is enabled, for example write IO for raid1/raid10 while
bitmap is enabled;
Root cause is that blk_finish_plug() will add the bio to
curent->bio_list, while such bio will not be handled:
__submit_bio_noacct
current->bio_list = bio_list_on_stack;
blk_start_plug
do {
dm_submit_bio
md_handle_request
raid10_write_request
-> generate new bio for underlying disks
raid1_add_bio_to_plug -> bio is added to plug
} while ((bio = bio_list_pop(&bio_list_on_stack[0])))
-> previous bio are all handled
blk_finish_plug
raid10_unplug
raid1_submit_write
submit_bio_noacct
if (current->bio_list)
bio_list_add(¤t->bio_list[0], bio)
-> add new bio
current->bio_list = NULL
-> new bio is lost
Fix the problem by moving the plug into the while loop, so that
current->bio_list will still be handled after blk_finish_plug().
By the way, enable plug for raid1/raid10 in this case will also prevent
delay IO handling into daemon thread, which should also improve IO
performance.

Currently, io_ticks is accounted based on sampling, specifically
update_io_ticks() will always account io_ticks by 1 jiffies from
bdev_start_io_acct()/blk_account_io_start(), and the result can be
inaccurate, for example(HZ is 250):
Test script:
fio -filename=/dev/sda -bs=4k -rw=write -direct=1 -name=test -thinktime=4ms
Test result: util is about 90%, while the disk is really idle.
This behaviour is introduced by commit 5b18b5a73760 ("block: delete
part_round_stats and switch to less precise counting"), however, there
was a key point that is missed that this patch also improve performance
a lot:
Before the commit:
part_round_stats:
if (part->stamp != now)
stats |= 1;
part_in_flight()
-> there can be lots of task here in 1 jiffies.
part_round_stats_single()
__part_stat_add()
part->stamp = now;
After the commit:
update_io_ticks:
stamp = part->bd_stamp;
if (time_after(now, stamp))
if (try_cmpxchg())
__part_stat_add()
-> only one task can reach here in 1 jiffies.
Hence in order to account io_ticks precisely, we only need to know if
there are IO inflight at most once in one jiffies. Noted that for
rq-based device, iterating tags should not be used here because
'tags->lock' is grabbed in blk_mq_find_and_get_req(), hence
part_stat_lock_inc/dec() and part_in_flight() is used to trace inflight.
The additional overhead is quite little:
- per cpu add/dec for each IO for rq-based device;
- per cpu sum for each jiffies;
And it's verified by null-blk that there are no performance degration
under heavy IO pressure.

In bdev_alloc() we have all flags initialized to false, so
assignment to ->bh_has_submit_bio n there is a no-op unless
we have partno != 0 and flag already set on entire device.
In device_add_disk() we have just allocated the block_device
in question and it had been a full-device one, so the flag
is guaranteed to be still clear when we get to assignment.

With the block layer zone write plugging being automatically done for
any write operation to a zone of a zoned block device, a regular request
plugging handled through current->plug can only ever see at most a
single write request per zone. In such case, any potential reordering
of the plugged requests will be harmless. We can thus remove the special
casing for write operations to zones and have these requests plugged as
well. This allows removing the function blk_mq_plug and instead directly
using current->plug where needed.

Zone append operations are only allowed to target sequential write
required zones. blk_check_zone_append() uses bio_zone_is_seq() to check
this. However, this check is not necessary because:
1) For NVMe ZNS namespace devices, only sequential write required zones
exist, making the zone type check useless.
2) For null_blk, the driver will fail the request anyway, thus notifying
the user that a conventional zone was targeted.
3) For all other zoned devices, zone append is now emulated using zone
write plugging, which checks that a zone append operation does not
target a conventional zone.
In preparation for the removal of zone write locking and its
conventional zone bitmap (used by bio_zone_is_seq()), remove the
bio_zone_is_seq() call from blk_check_zone_append().

In preparation for adding a generic zone append emulation using zone
write plugging, allow device drivers supporting zoned block device to
set a the max_zone_append_sectors queue limit of a device to 0 to
indicate the lack of native support for zone append operations and that
the block layer should emulate these operations using regular write
operations.
blk_queue_max_zone_append_sectors() is modified to allow passing 0 as
the max_zone_append_sectors argument. The function
queue_max_zone_append_sectors() is also modified to ensure that the
minimum of the max_hw_sectors and chunk_sectors limit is used whenever
the max_zone_append_sectors limit is 0. This minimum is consistent with
the value set for the max_zone_append_sectors limit by the function
blk_validate_zoned_limits() when limits for a queue are validated.
The helper functions queue_emulates_zone_append() and
bdev_emulates_zone_append() are added to test if a queue (or block
device) emulates zone append operations.
In order for blk_revalidate_disk_zones() to accept zoned block devices
relying on zone append emulation, the direct check to the
max_zone_append_sectors queue limit of the disk is replaced by a check
using the value returned by queue_max_zone_append_sectors(). Similarly,
queue_zone_append_max_show() is modified to use the same accessor so
that the sysfs attribute advertizes the non-zero limit that will be
used, regardless if it is for native or emulated commands.
For stacking drivers, a top device should not need to care if the
underlying devices have native or emulated zone append operations.
blk_stack_limits() is thus modified to set the top device
max_zone_append_sectors limit using the new accessor
queue_limits_max_zone_append_sectors(). queue_max_zone_append_sectors()
is modified to use this function as well. Stacking drivers that require
zone append emulation, e.g. dm-crypt, can still request this feature by
calling blk_queue_max_zone_append_sectors() with a 0 limit.

While monitoring the throttle time of IO from iocost, it's found that
such time is always zero after the io_schedule() from ioc_rqos_throttle,
for example, with the following debug patch:
+ printk("%s-%d: %s enter %llu\n", current->comm, current->pid, __func__, blk_time_get_ns());
while (true) {
set_current_state(TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE);
if (wait.committed)
break;
io_schedule();
}
+ printk("%s-%d: %s exit %llu\n", current->comm, current->pid, __func__, blk_time_get_ns());
It can be observerd that blk_time_get_ns() always return the same time:
[ 1068.096579] fio-1268: ioc_rqos_throttle enter 1067901962288
[ 1068.272587] fio-1268: ioc_rqos_throttle exit 1067901962288
[ 1068.274389] fio-1268: ioc_rqos_throttle enter 1067901962288
[ 1068.472690] fio-1268: ioc_rqos_throttle exit 1067901962288
[ 1068.474485] fio-1268: ioc_rqos_throttle enter 1067901962288
[ 1068.672656] fio-1268: ioc_rqos_throttle exit 1067901962288
[ 1068.674451] fio-1268: ioc_rqos_throttle enter 1067901962288
[ 1068.872655] fio-1268: ioc_rqos_throttle exit 1067901962288
And I think the root cause is that 'PF_BLOCK_TS' is always cleared
by blk_flush_plug() before scheduel(), hence blk_plug_invalidate_ts()
will never be called:
blk_time_get_ns
plug->cur_ktime = ktime_get_ns();
current->flags |= PF_BLOCK_TS;
io_schedule:
io_schedule_prepare
blk_flush_plug
__blk_flush_plug
/* the flag is cleared, while time is not */
current->flags &= ~PF_BLOCK_TS;
schedule
sched_update_worker
/* the flag is not set, hence plug->cur_ktime is not cleared */
if (tsk->flags & PF_BLOCK_TS)
blk_plug_invalidate_ts()
blk_time_get_ns
/* got the time stashed before schedule */
return plug->cur_ktime;
Fix the problem by clearing cached time in __blk_flush_plug().

Multiple gendisk instances can allocated/added for single request queue
in case of disk rebind. blkg may still stay in q->blkg_list when calling
blkcg_init_disk() for rebind, then q->blkg_list becomes corrupted.
Fix the list corruption issue by:
- add blkg_init_queue() to initialize q->blkg_list & q->blkcg_mutex only
- move calling blkg_init_queue() into blk_alloc_queue()
The list corruption should be started since commit f1c006f1c685 ("blk-cgroup:
synchronize pd_free_fn() from blkg_free_workfn() and blkcg_deactivate_policy()")
which delays removing blkg from q->blkg_list into blkg_free_workfn().

Mark the task as having a cached timestamp when set assign it, so we
can efficiently check if it needs updating post being scheduled back in.
This covers both the actual schedule out case, which would've flushed
the plug, and the preemption case which doesn't touch the plugged
requests (for many reasons, one of them being then we'd need to have
preemption disabled around plug state manipulation).

Querying the current time is the most costly thing we do in the block
layer per IO, and depending on kernel config settings, we may do it
many times per IO.
None of the callers actually need nsec granularity. Take advantage of
that by caching the current time in the plug, with the assumption here
being that any time checking will be temporally close enough that the
slight loss of precision doesn't matter.
If the block plug gets flushed, eg on preempt or schedule out, then
we invalidate the cached clock.
On a basic peak IOPS test case with iostats enabled, this changes
the performance from:
IOPS=108.41M, BW=52.93GiB/s, IOS/call=31/31
IOPS=108.43M, BW=52.94GiB/s, IOS/call=32/32
IOPS=108.29M, BW=52.88GiB/s, IOS/call=31/32
IOPS=108.35M, BW=52.91GiB/s, IOS/call=32/32
IOPS=108.42M, BW=52.94GiB/s, IOS/call=31/31
IOPS=108.40M, BW=52.93GiB/s, IOS/call=32/32
IOPS=108.31M, BW=52.89GiB/s, IOS/call=32/31
to
IOPS=118.79M, BW=58.00GiB/s, IOS/call=31/32
IOPS=118.62M, BW=57.92GiB/s, IOS/call=31/31
IOPS=118.80M, BW=58.01GiB/s, IOS/call=32/31
IOPS=118.78M, BW=58.00GiB/s, IOS/call=32/32
IOPS=118.69M, BW=57.95GiB/s, IOS/call=32/31
IOPS=118.62M, BW=57.92GiB/s, IOS/call=32/31
IOPS=118.63M, BW=57.92GiB/s, IOS/call=31/32
which is more than a 9% improvement in performance. Looking at perf diff,
we can see a huge reduction in time overhead:
10.55% -9.88% [kernel.vmlinux] [k] read_tsc
1.31% -1.22% [kernel.vmlinux] [k] ktime_get
Note that since this relies on blk_plug for the caching, it's only
applicable to the issue side. But this is where most of the time calls
happen anyway. On the completion side, cached time stamping is done with
struct io_comp patch, as long as the driver supports it.
It's also worth noting that the above testing doesn't enable any of the
higher cost CPU items on the block layer side, like wbt, cgroups,
iocost, etc, which all would add additional time querying and hence
overhead. IOW, results would likely look even better in comparison with
those enabled, as distros would do.

Commit 82b74cac2849 ("blk-ioprio: Convert from rqos policy to direct
call") pushed setting bio I/O priority down into blk_mq_submit_bio()
-- which is too low within block core's submit_bio() because it
skips setting I/O priority for block drivers that implement
fops->submit_bio() (e.g. DM, MD, etc).
Fix this by moving bio_set_ioprio() up from blk-mq.c to blk-core.c and
call it from submit_bio(). This ensures all block drivers call
bio_set_ioprio() during initial bio submission.

submit_bio_noacct allows completely invalid operations, or operations
that are not supported in the bio path. Extent the existing switch
statement to rejcect all invalid types.
Move the code point for REQ_OP_ZONE_APPEND so that it's not right in the
middle of the zone management operations and the switch statement can
follow the numerical order of the operations.

If one of the underlying disks of raid or dm is set to read-only, then
each io will generate new log, which will cause message storm. This
environment is indeed problematic, however we can't make sure our
naive custormer won't do this, hence use pr_warn_ratelimited() to
prevent message storm in this case.

We have seen rare IO stalls as follows:
* blk_mq_plug_issue_direct() is entered with an mq_list containing two
requests.
* For the first request, it sets last == false and enters the driver's
queue_rq callback.
* The driver queue_rq callback indirectly calls schedule() which calls
blk_flush_plug(). This may happen if the driver has the
BLK_MQ_F_BLOCKING flag set and is allowed to sleep in ->queue_rq.
* blk_flush_plug() handles the remaining request in the mq_list. mq_list
is now empty.
* The original call to queue_rq resumes (with last == false).
* The loop in blk_mq_plug_issue_direct() terminates because there are no
remaining requests in mq_list.
The IO is now stalled because the last request submitted to the driver
had last == false and there was no subsequent call to commit_rqs().
Fix this by returning early in blk_mq_flush_plug_list() if rq_count is 0
which it will be in the recursive case, rather than checking if the
mq_list is empty. At the same time, adjust one of the callers to skip
the mq_list empty check as it is not necessary.

Since the dawn of time bio_check_eod has a check for a non-zero size of
the device. This doesn't really make any sense as we never want to send
I/O to a device that's been set to zero size, or never moved out of that.
I am a bit surprised we haven't caught this for a long time, but the
removal of the extra validation inside of zram caused syzbot to trip
over this issue recently. I've added a Fixes tag for that commit, but
the issue really goes back way before git history.

commit 50e34d78815e ("block: disable the elevator int del_gendisk")
move rq_qos_exit() from disk_release() to del_gendisk(), this will
introduce some problems:
1) If rq_qos_add() is triggered by enabling iocost/iolatency through
cgroupfs, then it can concurrent with del_gendisk(), it's not safe to
write 'q->rq_qos' concurrently.
2) Activate cgroup policy that is relied on rq_qos will call
rq_qos_add() and blkcg_activate_policy(), and if rq_qos_exit() is
called in the middle, null-ptr-dereference will be triggered in
blkcg_activate_policy().
3) blkg_conf_open_bdev() can call blkdev_get_no_open() first to find the
disk, then if rq_qos_exit() from del_gendisk() is done before
rq_qos_add(), then memory will be leaked.
This patch add a new disk level mutex 'rq_qos_mutex':
1) The lock will protect rq_qos_exit() directly.
2) For wbt that doesn't relied on blk-cgroup, rq_qos_add() can only be
called from disk initialization for now because wbt can't be
destructed until rq_qos_exit(), so it's safe not to protect wbt for
now. Hoever, in case that rq_qos dynamically destruction is supported
in the furture, this patch also protect rq_qos_add() from wbt_init()
directly, this is enough because blk-sysfs already synchronize
writers with disk removal.
3) For iocost and iolatency, in order to synchronize disk removal and
cgroup configuration, the lock is held after blkdev_get_no_open()
from blkg_conf_open_bdev(), and is released in blkg_conf_exit().
In order to fix the above memory leak, disk_live() is checked after
holding the new lock.

Niklas Cassel <nks@flawful.org> says:
This series adds support for Command Duration Limits.
The series is based on linux tag: v6.4-rc1
The series can also be found in git: https://github.com/floatious/linux/commits/cdl-v7
=================
CDL in ATA / SCSI
=================
Command Duration Limits is defined in:
T13 ATA Command Set - 5 (ACS-5) and
T10 SCSI Primary Commands - 6 (SPC-6) respectively
(a simpler version of CDL is defined in T10 SPC-5).
CDL defines Duration Limits Descriptors (DLD).
7 DLDs for read commands and 7 DLDs for write commands.
Simply put, a DLD contains a limit and a policy.
A command can specify that a certain limit should be applied by setting
the DLD index field (3 bits, so 0-7) in the command itself.
The DLD index points to one of the 7 DLDs.
DLD index 0 means no descriptor, so no limit.
DLD index 1-7 means DLD 1-7.
A DLD can have a few different policies, but the two major ones are:
-Policy 0xF (abort), command will be completed with command aborted error
(ATA) or status CHECK CONDITION (SCSI), with sense data indicating that
the command timed out.
-Policy 0xD (complete-unavailable), command will be completed without
error (ATA) or status GOOD (SCSI), with sense data indicating that the
command timed out. Note that the command will not have transferred any
data to/from the device when the command timed out, even though the
command returned success.
Regardless of the CDL policy, in case of a CDL timeout, the I/O will
result in a -ETIME error to user-space.
The DLDs are defined in the CDL log page(s) and are readable and writable.
Reading and writing the CDL DLDs are outside the scope of the kernel.
If a user wants to read or write the descriptors, they can do so using a
user-space application that sends passthrough commands, such as cdl-tools:
https://github.com/westerndigitalcorporation/cdl-tools
================================
The introduction of ioprio hints
================================
What the kernel does provide, is a method to let I/O use one of the CDL DLDs
defined in the device. Note that the kernel will simply forward the DLD index
to the device, so the kernel currently does not know, nor does it need to know,
how the DLDs are defined inside the device.
The way that the CDL DLD index is supplied to the kernel is by introducing a
new 10 bit "ioprio hint" field within the existing 16 bit ioprio definition.
Currently, only 6 out of the 16 ioprio bits are in use, the remaining 10 bits
are unused, and are currently explicitly disallowed to be set by the kernel.
For now, we only add ioprio hints representing CDL DLD index 1-7. Additional
ioprio hints for other QoS features could be defined in the future.
A theoretical future work could be to make an I/O scheduler aware of these
hints. E.g. for CDL, an I/O scheduler could make use of the duration limit
in each descriptor, and take that information into account while scheduling
commands. Right now, the ioprio hints will be ignored by the I/O schedulers.
==============================
How to use CDL from user-space
==============================
Since CDL is mutually exclusive with NCQ priority
(see ncq_prio_enable and sas_ncq_prio_enable in
Documentation/ABI/testing/sysfs-block-device),
CDL has to be explicitly enabled using:
echo 1 > /sys/block/$bdev/device/cdl_enable
Since the ioprio hints are supplied through the existing I/O priority API,
it should be simple for an application to make use of the ioprio hints.
It simply has to reuse one of the new macros defined in
include/uapi/linux/ioprio.h: IOPRIO_PRIO_HINT() or IOPRIO_PRIO_VALUE_HINT(),
and supply one of the new hints defined in include/uapi/linux/ioprio.h:
IOPRIO_HINT_DEV_DURATION_LIMIT_[1-7], which indicates that the I/O should
use the corresponding CDL DLD index 1-7.
By reusing the I/O priority API, the user can both define a DLD to use per
AIO (io_uring sqe->ioprio or libaio iocb->aio_reqprio) or per-thread
(ioprio_set()).
=======
Testing
=======
With the following fio patches:
https://github.com/floatious/fio/commits/cdl
fio adds support for ioprio hints, such that CDL can be tested using e.g.:
fio --ioengine=io_uring --cmdprio_percentage=10 --cmdprio_hint=DLD_index
A simple way to test is to use a DLD with a very short duration limit,
and send large reads. Regardless of the CDL policy, in case of a CDL
timeout, the I/O will result in a -ETIME error to user-space.
We also provide a CDL test suite located in the cdl-tools repo, see:
https://github.com/westerndigitalcorporation/cdl-tools#testing-a-system-command-duration-limits-support
We have tested this patch series using:
-real hardware
-the following QEMU implementation:
https://github.com/floatious/qemu/tree/cdl
(NOTE: the QEMU implementation requires you to define the CDL policy at compile
time, so you currently need to recompile QEMU when switching between policies.)

Introduce the new block I/O status BLK_STS_DURATION_LIMIT for LLDDs to
report command that failed due to a command duration limit being
exceeded. This new status is mapped to the ETIME error code to allow users
to differentiate "soft" duration limit failures from other more serious
hardware related errors.
If we compare BLK_STS_DURATION_LIMIT with BLK_STS_TIMEOUT:
-BLK_STS_DURATION_LIMIT means that the drive gave a reply indicating that
the command duration limit was excee |
