Ming Lei 86ff7c2a80 blk-mq: introduce BLK_STS_DEV_RESOURCE
This status is returned from driver to block layer if device related
resource is unavailable, but driver can guarantee that IO dispatch
will be triggered in future when the resource is available.

Convert some drivers to return BLK_STS_DEV_RESOURCE.  Also, if driver
returns BLK_STS_RESOURCE and SCHED_RESTART is set, rerun queue after
a delay (BLK_MQ_DELAY_QUEUE) to avoid IO stalls.  BLK_MQ_DELAY_QUEUE is
3 ms because both scsi-mq and nvmefc are using that magic value.

If a driver can make sure there is in-flight IO, it is safe to return
BLK_STS_DEV_RESOURCE because:

1) If all in-flight IOs complete before examining SCHED_RESTART in
blk_mq_dispatch_rq_list(), SCHED_RESTART must be cleared, so queue
is run immediately in this case by blk_mq_dispatch_rq_list();

2) if there is any in-flight IO after/when examining SCHED_RESTART
in blk_mq_dispatch_rq_list():
- if SCHED_RESTART isn't set, queue is run immediately as handled in 1)
- otherwise, this request will be dispatched after any in-flight IO is
  completed via blk_mq_sched_restart()

3) if SCHED_RESTART is set concurently in context because of
BLK_STS_RESOURCE, blk_mq_delay_run_hw_queue() will cover the above two
cases and make sure IO hang can be avoided.

One invariant is that queue will be rerun if SCHED_RESTART is set.

Linus Torvalds a0725ab0c7 Merge branch 'for-4.14/block' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux-block
Pull block layer updates from Jens Axboe:
 "This is the first pull request for 4.14, containing most of the code
  changes. It's a quiet series this round, which I think we needed after
  the churn of the last few series. This contains:

   - Fix for a registration race in loop, from Anton Volkov.

   - Overflow complaint fix from Arnd for DAC960.

   - Series of drbd changes from the usual suspects.

   - Conversion of the stec/skd driver to blk-mq. From Bart.

   - A few BFQ improvements/fixes from Paolo.

   - CFQ improvement from Ritesh, allowing idling for group idle.

   - A few fixes found by Dan's smatch, courtesy of Dan.

   - A warning fixup for a race between changing the IO scheduler and
     device remova. From David Jeffery.

   - A few nbd fixes from Josef.

   - Support for cgroup info in blktrace, from Shaohua.

   - Also from Shaohua, new features in the null_blk driver to allow it
     to actually hold data, among other things.

   - Various corner cases and error handling fixes from Weiping Zhang.

   - Improvements to the IO stats tracking for blk-mq from me. Can
     drastically improve performance for fast devices and/or big
     machines.

   - Series from Christoph removing bi_bdev as being needed for IO
     submission, in preparation for nvme multipathing code.

   - Series from Bart, including various cleanups and fixes for switch
     fall through case complaints"

Munehisa Kamata b15bd8cb37 xen-blkfront: use a right index when checking requests
Since commit d05d7f4079 ("Merge branch 'for-4.8/core' of
git://git.kernel.dk/linux-block") and 3fc9d69093 ("Merge branch
'for-4.8/drivers' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux-block"), blkfront_resume()
has been using an index for iterating ring_info to check request when
iterating blk_shadow in an inner loop. This seems to have been
accidentally introduced during the massive rewrite of the block layer
macros in the commits.

This may cause crash like this:

Dongli Zhang bd912ef3e4 xen/blkfront: always allocate grants first from per-queue persistent grants
This patch partially reverts 3df0e50 ("xen/blkfront: pseudo support for
multi hardware queues/rings"). The xen-blkfront queue/ring might hang due
to grants allocation failure in the situation when gnttab_free_head is
almost empty while many persistent grants are reserved for this queue/ring.

As persistent grants management was per-queue since 73716df ("xen/blkfront:
make persistent grants pool per-queue"), we should always allocate from
persistent grants first.

Junxiao Bi 4b422cb998 xen-blkfront: fix mq start/stop race
When ring buf full, hw queue will be stopped. While blkif interrupt consume
request and make free space in ring buf, hw queue will be started again.
But since start queue is protected by spin lock while stop not, that will
cause a race.

interrupt:                                      process:
blkif_interrupt()                               blkif_queue_rq()
 kick_pending_request_queues_locked()
   blk_mq_start_stopped_hw_queues()

	                                             blk_mq_stop_hw_queue(hctx)
	  blk_mq_run_hw_queue(hctx, async)

If ring buf is made empty in this case, interrupt will never come, then the
hw queue will be stopped forever, all processes waiting for the pending io
in the queue will hung.

Christoph Hellwig 2a842acab1 block: introduce new block status code type
Currently we use nornal Linux errno values in the block layer, and while
we accept any error a few have overloaded magic meanings.  This patch
instead introduces a new  blk_status_t value that holds block layer specific
status codes and explicitly explains their meaning.  Helpers to convert from
and to the previous special meanings are provided for now, but I suspect
we want to get rid of them in the long run - those drivers that have a
errno input (e.g. networking) usually get errnos that don't know about
the special block layer overloads, and similarly returning them to userspace
will usually return somethings that strictly speaking isn't correct
for file system operations, but that's left as an exercise for later.

For now the set of errors is a very limited set that closely corresponds
to the previous overloaded errno values, but there is some low hanging
fruite to improve it.

blk_status_t (ab)uses the sparse __bitwise annotations to allow for sparse
typechecking, so that we can easily catch places passing the wrong values.

- the variable driven by the command line option

  we better don't use indirect segments at all (or we'd in fact lower

been stopped it is not possible to stop queues without using
an additional state variable to track whether or not the queue
has been stopped. Hence modify blk_mq_requeue_work() such that it
does not start stopped queues. My conclusion after a review of
the blk_mq_stop_hw_queues() and blk_mq_{delay_,}kick_requeue_list()
callers is as follows:
* In the dm driver starting and stopping queues should only happen
  if __dm_suspend() or __dm_resume() is called and not if the
  requeue list is processed.
* In the SCSI core queue stopping and starting should only be
  performed by the scsi_internal_device_block() and
  scsi_internal_device_unblock() functions but not by any other
  function. Although the blk_mq_stop_hw_queue() call in
  scsi_queue_rq() may help to reduce CPU load if a LLD queue is
  full, figuring out whether or not a queue should be restarted
  when requeueing a command would require to introduce additional
  locking in scsi_mq_requeue_cmd() to avoid a race with
  scsi_internal_device_block(). Avoid this complexity by removing
  the blk_mq_stop_hw_queue() call from scsi_queue_rq().
* In the NVMe core only the functions that call
  blk_mq_start_stopped_hw_queues() explicitly should start stopped
  queues.
* A blk_mq_start_stopped_hwqueues() call must be added in the
  xen-blkfront driver in its blkif_recover() function.

All drivers use the default, so provide an inline version of it.  If we
ever need other queue mapping we can add an optional method back,
although supporting will also require major changes to the queue setup
code.

This provides better code generation, and better debugability as well.

Bob Liu 7b427a5953 xen-blkfront: save uncompleted reqs in blkfront_resume()
Uncompleted reqs used to be 'saved and resubmitted' in blkfront_recover() during
migration, but that's too late after multi-queue was introduced.

After a migrate to another host (which may not have multiqueue support), the
number of rings (block hardware queues) may be changed and the ring and shadow
structure will also be reallocated.

The blkfront_recover() then can't 'save and resubmit' the real
uncompleted reqs because shadow structure have been reallocated.

This patch fixes this issue by moving the 'save' logic out of
blkfront_recover() to earlier place in blkfront_resume().

The 'resubmit' is not changed and still in blkfront_recover().

After a migrate to another host (which may not have multiqueue

This patch fixes two related bugs:
 * call blk_mq_update_nr_hw_queues() to make blk-core know the number
   of hardware queues have been changed.
 * Don't store rinfo pointer to hctx->driver_data, because rinfo may be

Bob Liu efd1535270 xen-blkfront: don't call talk_to_blkback when already connected to blkback
Sometimes blkfront may twice receive blkback_changed() notification
(XenbusStateConnected) after migration, which will cause
talk_to_blkback() to be called twice too and confuse xen-blkback.

The flow is as follow:
   blkfront                                        blkback
blkfront_resume()
 > talk_to_blkback()
  > Set blkfront to XenbusStateInitialised
                                                front changed()
                                                 > Connect()
                                                  > Set blkback to XenbusStateConnected

blkback_changed()
 > Skip talk_to_blkback()
   because frontstate == XenbusStateInitialised
 > blkfront_connect()
  > Set blkfront to XenbusStateConnected

-----
And here we get another XenbusStateConnected notification leading
to:
-----
blkback_changed()
 > because now frontstate != XenbusStateInitialised
   talk_to_blkback() is also called again
  > blkfront state changed from
  XenbusStateConnected to XenbusStateInitialised
    (Which is not correct!)

						front_changed():
                                                 > Do nothing because blkback
                                                   already in XenbusStateConnected

Now blkback is in XenbusStateConnected but blkfront is still
in XenbusStateInitialised - leading to no disks.

Poking of the XenbusStateConnected state is allowed (to deal with
block disk change) and has to be dealt with. The most likely
cause of this bug are custom udev scripts hooking up the disks
and then validating the size.

The problem is if we bypass the 1) step and go straight to 2)
and call blkfront_setup_indirect where we use the macro
BLK_RING_SIZE - which returns an negative value (because
sz is zero  - since num_ring_pages is zero - since it has never
been set).

We can fix this by making sure that we always have called
talk_to_blkback before going to blkfront_connect.

Or we could set in blkfront_probe info->nr_ring_pages = 1
to have a default value. But that looks odd - as we haven't
actually negotiated any ring size.

This patch changes XenbusStateConnected state to detect if
we haven't done the initial handshake - and if so continue
on as if were in XenbusStateInitWait state.

We also roll the error recovery (freeing the structure) into
talk_to_blkback error path - which is safe since that function
is only called from blkback_changed.

Julien Grall 6cc5683390 xen/blkfront: Handle non-indirect grant with 64KB pages
The minimal size of request in the block framework is always PAGE_SIZE.
It means that when 64KB guest is support, the request will at least be
64KB.

Although, if the backend doesn't support indirect descriptor (such as QDISK
in QEMU), a ring request is only able to accommodate 11 segments of 4KB
(i.e 44KB).

The current frontend is assuming that an I/O request will always fit in
a ring request. This is not true any more when using 64KB page
granularity and will therefore crash during boot.

On ARM64, the ABI is completely neutral to the page granularity used by
the domU. The guest has the choice between different page granularity
supported by the processors (for instance on ARM64: 4KB, 16KB, 64KB).
This can't be enforced by the hypervisor and therefore it's possible to
run guests using different page granularity.

So we can't mandate the block backend to support indirect descriptor
when the frontend is using 64KB page granularity and have to fix it
properly in the frontend.

The solution exposed below is based on modifying directly the frontend
guest rather than asking the block framework to support smaller size
(i.e < PAGE_SIZE). This is because the change is the block framework are
not trivial as everything seems to relying on a struct *page (see [1]).
Although, it may be possible that someone succeed to do it in the future
and we would therefore be able to use it.

Given that a block request may not fit in a single ring request, a
second request is introduced for the data that cannot fit in the first
one. This means that the second ring request should never be used on
Linux if the page size is smaller than 44KB.

To achieve the support of the extra ring request, the block queue size
is divided by two. Therefore, the ring will always contain enough space
to accommodate 2 ring requests. While this will reduce the overall
performance, it will make the implementation more contained. The way
forward to get better performance is to implement in the backend either
indirect descriptor or multiple grants ring.

Note that the parameters blk_queue_max_* helpers haven't been updated.
The block code will set the mimimum size supported and we may be able
to support directly any change in the block framework that lower down
the minimal size of a request.

Julien Grall 2e073969d5 xen-blkfront: Introduce blkif_ring_get_request
The code to get a request is always the same. Therefore we can factorize
it in a single function.

Peng Fan 45fc82642e xen/blkfront: correct setting for xen_blkif_max_ring_order
According to this piece code:
"
     pr_info("Invalid max_ring_order (%d), will use default max: %d.\n",
              xen_blkif_max_ring_order, XENBUS_MAX_RING_GRANT_ORDER);
"
if xen_blkif_max_ring_order is bigger that XENBUS_MAX_RING_GRANT_ORDER,
need to set xen_blkif_max_ring_order using XENBUS_MAX_RING_GRANT_ORDER,
but not 0.
