Christoph Hellwig 8c911f3d4c writeback: remove struct bdi_writeback_congested
We never set any congested bits in the group writeback instances of it.
And for the simpler bdi-wide case a simple scalar field is all that

Christoph Hellwig db18a53e5b blk-cgroup: remove blkcg_bio_issue_check
blkcg_bio_issue_check is a giant inline function that does three entirely
different things.  Factor out the blk-cgroup related bio initalization
into a new helper, and the open code the sequence in the only caller,
relying on the fact that all the actual functionality is stubbed out for
non-cgroup builds.

Tejun Heo 54c52e10dc blk-iocost: switch to fixed non-auto-decaying use_delay
The use_delay mechanism was introduced by blk-iolatency to hold memory
allocators accountable for the reclaim and other shared IOs they cause. The
duration of the delay is dynamically balanced between iolatency increasing the
value on each target miss and it auto-decaying as time passes and threads get
delayed on it.

While this works well for iolatency, iocost's control model isn't compatible
with it. There is no repeated "violation" events which can be balanced against
auto-decaying. iocost instead knows how much a given cgroup is over budget and
wants to prevent that cgroup from issuing IOs while over budget. Until now,
iocost has been adding the cost of force-issued IOs. However, this doesn't
reflect the amount which is already over budget and is simply not enough to
counter the auto-decaying allowing anon-memory leaking low priority cgroup to
go over its alloted share of IOs.

As auto-decaying doesn't make much sense for iocost, this patch introduces a
different mode of operation for use_delay - when blkcg_set_delay() are used
insted of blkcg_add/use_delay(), the delay duration is not auto-decayed until it
is explicitly cleared with blkcg_clear_delay(). iocost is updated to keep the
delay duration synchronized to the budget overage amount.

With this change, iocost can effectively police cgroups which generate
significant amount of force-issued IOs.

Tejun Heo 4308a434e5 blkcg: don't offline parent blkcg first
blkcg->cgwb_refcnt is used to delay blkcg offlining so that blkgs
don't get offlined while there are active cgwbs on them.  However, it
ends up making offlining unordered sometimes causing parents to be
offlined before children.

Let's fix this by making child blkcgs pin the parents' online states.

Note that pin/unpin names are chosen over get/put intentionally
because css uses get/put online for something different.

Tejun Heo f733164829 blk-cgroup: reimplement basic IO stats using cgroup rstat
blk-cgroup has been using blkg_rwstat to track basic IO stats.
Unfortunately, reading recursive stats scales badly as itinvolves
walking all descendants.  On systems with a huge number of cgroups
(dead or alive), this can lead to substantial CPU cost when reading IO
stats.

This patch reimplements basic IO stats using cgroup rstat which uses
more memory but makes recursive stat reading O(# descendants which
have been active since last reading) instead of O(# descendants).

* blk-cgroup core no longer uses sync/async stats.  Introduce new stat
  enums - BLKG_IOSTAT_{READ|WRITE|DISCARD}.

* Add blkg_iostat[_set] which encapsulates byte and io stats, last
  values for propagation delta calculation and u64_stats_sync for
  correctness on 32bit archs.

* Update the new percpu stat counters directly and implement
  blkcg_rstat_flush() to implement propagation.

* blkg_print_stat() can now bring the stats up to date by calling
  cgroup_rstat_flush() and print them instead of directly summing up
  all descendants.

* It now allocates 96 bytes per cpu.  It used to be 40 bytes.

Tejun Heo d3f77dfdc7 blkcg: implement REQ_CGROUP_PUNT
When a shared kthread needs to issue a bio for a cgroup, doing so
synchronously can lead to priority inversions as the kthread can be
trapped waiting for that cgroup.  This patch implements
REQ_CGROUP_PUNT flag which makes submit_bio() punt the actual issuing
to a dedicated per-blkcg work item to avoid such priority inversions.

This will be used to fix priority inversions in btrfs compression and
should be generally useful as we grow filesystem support for
comprehensive IO control.

Dennis Zhou 0273ac349f blkcg: handle dying request_queue when associating a blkg
Between v3 [1] and v4 [2] of the blkg association series, the
association point moved from generic_make_request_checks(), which is
called after the request enters the queue, to bio_set_dev(), which is when
the bio is formed before submit_bio(). When the request_queue goes away,
the blkgs supporting the request_queue are destroyed and then the
q->root_blkg is set to %NULL.

This patch adds a %NULL check to blkg_tryget_closest() to prevent the
NPE caused by the above. It also adds a guard to see if the
request_queue is dying when creating a blkg to prevent creating a blkg
for a dead request_queue.

blk-throttle and blk-iolatency. However, because a blkg represents a
relationship between a blkcg and a request_queue, it makes sense to keep

two pointers consistent. Fallback code is added to

This changes blkg_lookup_create() to do locking and implement this
pattern. The old blkg_lookup_create() is renamed to
__blkg_lookup_create().  If a call site wants to do its own error
handling or already owns the queue lock, they can use

Dennis Zhou 0fe061b9f0 blkcg: fix ref count issue with bio_blkcg() using task_css
The bio_blkcg() function turns out to be inconsistent and consequently
dangerous to use. The first part returns a blkcg where a reference is
owned by the bio meaning it does not need to be rcu protected. However,
the third case, the last line, is problematic:

	return css_to_blkcg(task_css(current, io_cgrp_id));

This can race against task migration and the cgroup dying. It is also
semantically different as it must be called rcu protected and is
susceptible to failure when trying to get a reference to it.

This patch adds association ahead of calling bio_blkcg() rather than
after. This makes association a required and explicit step along the
code paths for calling bio_blkcg(). In blk-iolatency, association is
moved above the bio_blkcg() call to ensure it will not return %NULL.

BFQ uses the old bio_blkcg() function, but I do not want to address it
in this series due to the complexity. I have created a private version
documenting the inconsistency and noting not to use it.

Dennis Zhou b2c3fa5467 blkcg: fix edge case for blk_get_rl() under memory pressure
It is possible for blkg creation to fail when in blk_get_rl(). In this
situation, the fallback logic returns the nearest created blkg. There is
however special handling for the request_list for the root blkcg. This
fixes the missing edge case from the earlier series changing
blk_get_rl().

Dennis Zhou (Facebook) 101246ec02 blkcg: rename blkg_try_get to blkg_tryget
blkg reference counting now uses percpu_ref rather than atomic_t. Let's
make this consistent with css_tryget. This renames blkg_try_get to
blkg_tryget and now returns a bool rather than the blkg or NULL.

Dennis Zhou (Facebook) b3b9f24f5f blkcg: change blkg reference counting to use percpu_ref
Now that every bio is associated with a blkg, this puts the use of
blkg_get, blkg_try_get, and blkg_put on the hot path. This switches over
the refcnt in blkg to use percpu_ref.

Dennis Zhou (Facebook) e2b0989954 blkcg: cleanup and make blk_get_rl use blkg_lookup_create
blk_get_rl is responsible for identifying which request_list a request
should be allocated to. Try get logic was added earlier, but
semantically the logic was not changed.

This patch makes better use of the bio already having a reference to the
blkg in the hot path. The cold path uses a better fallback of
blkg_lookup_create rather than just blkg_lookup and then falling back to
the q->root_rl. If lookup_create fails with anything but -ENODEV, it
falls back to q->root_rl.

A clarifying comment is added to explain why q->root_rl is used rather
than the root blkg's rl.

Dennis Zhou (Facebook) f0fcb3ec89 blkcg: remove additional reference to the css
The previous patch in this series removed carrying around a pointer to
the css in blkg. However, the blkg association logic still relied on
taking a reference on the css to ensure we wouldn't fail in getting a
reference for the blkg.

Here the implicit dependency on the css is removed. The association
continues to rely on the tryget logic walking up the blkg tree. This
streamlines the three ways that association can happen: normal, swap,
and writeback.

Dennis Zhou (Facebook) c839e7a03f blkcg: remove bio->bi_css and instead use bio->bi_blkg
Prior patches ensured that all bios are now associated with some blkg.
This now makes bio->bi_css unnecessary as blkg maintains a reference to
the blkcg already.

This patch removes the field bi_css and transfers corresponding uses to
access via bi_blkg.

Rather than have this logic handled by policies, this consolidates it to

Dennis Zhou (Facebook) a7b39b4e96 blkcg: always associate a bio with a blkg
Previously, blkg's were only assigned as needed by blk-iolatency and
blk-throttle. bio->css was also always being associated while blkg was
being looked up and then thrown away in blkcg_bio_issue_check.

This patch begins the cleanup of bio->css and bio->bi_blkg by always
associating a blkg in blkcg_bio_issue_check. This tries to create the
blkg, but if it is not possible, falls back to using the root_blkg of
the request_queue. Therefore, a bio will always be associated with a
blkg. The duplicate association logic is removed from blk-throttle and
blk-iolatency.

Dennis Zhou (Facebook) 07b05bcc32 blkcg: convert blkg_lookup_create to find closest blkg
There are several scenarios where blkg_lookup_create can fail. Examples
include the blkcg dying, request_queue is dying, or simply being OOM. At
the end of the day, most handle this by simply falling back to the
q->root_blkg and calling it a day.

This patch implements the notion of closest blkg. During
blkg_lookup_create, if it fails to create, return the closest blkg
found or the q->root_blkg. blkg_try_get_closest is introduced and used
during association so a bio is always attached to a blkg.

Dennis Zhou (Facebook) 49f4c2dc2b blkcg: update blkg_lookup_create to do locking
To know when to create a blkg, the general pattern is to do a
blkg_lookup and if that fails, lock and then do a lookup again and if
that fails finally create. It doesn't make much sense for everyone who
wants to do creation to write this themselves.

This changes blkg_lookup_create to do locking and implement this
pattern. The old blkg_lookup_create is renamed to __blkg_lookup_create.
If a call site wants to do its own error handling or already owns the
queue lock, they can use __blkg_lookup_create. This will be used in
upcoming patches.

Dennis Zhou (Facebook) 27e6fa996c blkcg: fix ref count issue with bio_blkcg using task_css
The accessor function bio_blkcg either returns the blkcg associated with
the bio or finds one in the current context. This can cause an issue
when trying to associate a bio with a blkcg. Particularly, it's the
third case that is problematic:

	return css_to_blkcg(task_css(current, io_cgrp_id));

As the above may race against task migration and the cgroup exiting, it
is not always ok to take a reference on the blkcg returned from
bio_blkcg.

This patch adds association ahead of calling bio_blkcg rather than
after. This makes association a required and explicit step along the
code paths for calling bio_blkcg. blk_get_rl is modified as well to get
a reference to the blkcg it may use and blk_put_rl will always put the
reference back. Association is also moved above the bio_blkcg call to
ensure it will not return NULL in blk-iolatency.

BFQ and CFQ utilize this flaw, but due to the complexity, I do not want
to address this in this series. I've created a private version of the
function with notes not to use it describing the flaw. Hopefully soon,
that code can be cleaned up.
