      block: use nanosecond resolution for iostat · b57e99b4
      Omar Sandoval authored
      Klaus Kusche reported that the I/O busy time in /proc/diskstats was not
      updating properly on 4.18. This is because we started using ktime to
      track elapsed time, and we convert nanoseconds to jiffies when we update
      the partition counter. However, this gets rounded down, so any I/Os that
      take less than a jiffy are not accounted for. Previously in this case,
      the value of jiffies would sometimes increment while we were doing I/O,
      so at least some I/Os were accounted for.
      
      Let's convert the stats to use nanoseconds internally. We still report
      milliseconds as before, now more accurately than ever. The value is
      still truncated to 32 bits for backwards compatibility.

      null_blk: fix zoned support for non-rq based operation · b228ba1c
      Jens Axboe authored
      The supported added for zones in null_blk seem to assume that only rq
      based operation is possible. But this depends on the queue_mode setting,
      if this is set to 0, then cmd->bio is what we need to be operating on.
      Right now any attempt to load null_blk with queue_mode=0 will
      insta-crash, since cmd->rq is NULL and null_handle_cmd() assumes it to
      always be set.
      
      Make the zoned code deal with bio's instead, or pass in the
      appropriate sector/nr_sectors instead.

      block: don't warn when doing fsync on read-only devices · 8b2ded1c
      Mikulas Patocka authored
      It is possible to call fsync on a read-only handle (for example, fsck.ext2
      does it when doing read-only check), and this call results in kernel
      warning.
      
      The patch b089cfd9
      
       ("block: don't warn for flush on read-only device")
      attempted to disable the warning, but it is buggy and it doesn't
      (op_is_flush tests flags, but bio_op strips off the flags).

      nvmet-rdma: fix possible bogus dereference under heavy load · 8407879c
      Sagi Grimberg authored
      
      
      Currently we always repost the recv buffer before we send a response
      capsule back to the host. Since ordering is not guaranteed for send
      and recv completions, it is posible that we will receive a new request
      from the host before we got a send completion for the response capsule.
      
      Today, we pre-allocate 2x rsps the length of the queue, but in reality,
      under heavy load there is nothing that is really preventing the gap to
      expand until we exhaust all our rsps.
      
      To fix this, if we don't have any pre-allocated rsps left, we dynamically
      allocate a rsp and make sure to free it when we are done. If under memory
      pressure we fail to allocate a rsp, we silently drop the command and
      wait for the host to retry.

      blkcg: use tryget logic when associating a blkg with a bio · 31118850
      Dennis Zhou (Facebook) authored
      There is a very small change a bio gets caught up in a really
      unfortunate race between a task migration, cgroup exiting, and itself
      trying to associate with a blkg. This is due to css offlining being
      performed after the css->refcnt is killed which triggers removal of
      blkgs that reach their blkg->refcnt of 0.
      
      To avoid this, association with a blkg should use tryget and fallback to
      using the root_blkg.

      blkcg: delay blkg destruction until after writeback has finished · 59b57717
      Dennis Zhou (Facebook) authored
      Currently, blkcg destruction relies on a sequence of events:
        1. Destruction starts. blkcg_css_offline() is called and blkgs
           release their reference to the blkcg. This immediately destroys
           the cgwbs (writeback).
        2. With blkgs giving up their reference, the blkcg ref count should
           become zero and eventually call blkcg_css_free() which finally
           frees the blkcg.
      
      Jiufei Xue reported that there is a race between blkcg_bio_issue_check()
      and cgroup_rmdir(). To remedy this, blkg destruction becomes contingent
      on the completion of all writeback associated with the blkcg. A count of
      the number of cgwbs is maintained and once that goes to zero, blkg
      destruction can follow. This should prevent premature blkg destruction
      related to writeback.
      
      The new process for blkcg cleanup is as follows:
        1. Destruction starts. blkcg_css_offline() is called which offlines
           writeback. Blkg destruction is delayed on the cgwb_refcnt count to
           avoid punting potentially large amounts of outstanding writeback
           to root while maintaining any ongoing policies. Here, the base
           cgwb_refcnt is put back.
        2. When the cgwb_refcnt becomes zero, blkcg_destroy_blkgs() is called
           and handles destruction of blkgs. This is where the css reference
           held by each blkg is released.
        3. Once the blkcg ref count goes to zero, blkcg_css_free() is called.
           This finally frees the blkg.
      
      It seems in the past blk-throttle didn't do the most understandable
      things with taking data from a blkg while associating with current. So,
      the simplification and unification of what blk-throttle is doing caused
      this.

      Revert "blk-throttle: fix race between blkcg_bio_issue_check() and cgroup_rmdir()" · 6b065462
      Dennis Zhou (Facebook) authored
      This reverts commit 4c699480.
      
      Destroying blkgs is tricky because of the nature of the relationship. A
      blkg should go away when either a blkcg or a request_queue goes away.
      However, blkg's pin the blkcg to ensure they remain valid. To break this
      cycle, when a blkcg is offlined, blkgs put back their css ref. This
      eventually lets css_free() get called which frees the blkcg.
      
      The above commit (4c699480) breaks this order of events by trying to
      destroy blkgs in css_free(). As the blkgs still hold references to the
      blkcg, css_free() is never called.
      
      The race between blkcg_bio_issue_check() and cgroup_rmdir() will be
      addressed in the following patch by delaying destruction of a blkg until
      all writeback associated with the blkcg has been finished.
