Regular block device writes go through blkdev_write_iter(), which does
bdev_read_only(), while zeroout/discard/etc requests are never checked,
both userspace- and kernel-triggered. Add a generic catch-all check to
generic_make_request_checks() to actually enforce ioctl(BLKROSET) and
set_disk_ro(), which is used by quite a few drivers for things like
snapshots, read-only backing files/images, etc.

blk_insert_cloned_request() is called in the fast path of a dm-rq driver
(e.g. blk-mq request-based DM mpath). blk_insert_cloned_request() uses
blk_mq_request_bypass_insert() to directly append the request to the
blk-mq hctx->dispatch_list of the underlying queue.
1) This way isn't efficient enough because the hctx spinlock is always
used.
2) With blk_insert_cloned_request(), we completely bypass underlying
queue's elevator and depend on the upper-level dm-rq driver's elevator
to schedule IO. But dm-rq currently can't get the underlying queue's
dispatch feedback at all. Without knowing whether a request was issued
or not (e.g. due to underlying queue being busy) the dm-rq elevator will
not be able to provide effective IO merging (as a side-effect of dm-rq
currently blindly destaging a request from its elevator only to requeue
it after a delay, which kills any opportunity for merging). This
obviously causes very bad sequential IO performance.
Fix this by updating blk_insert_cloned_request() to use
blk_mq_request_direct_issue(). blk_mq_request_direct_issue() allows a
request to be issued directly to the underlying queue and returns the
dispatch feedback (blk_status_t). If blk_mq_request_direct_issue()
returns BLK_SYS_RESOURCE the dm-rq driver will now use DM_MAPIO_REQUEUE
to _not_ destage the request. Whereby preserving the opportunity to
merge IO.
With this, request-based DM's blk-mq sequential IO performance is vastly
improved (as much as 3X in mpath/virtio-scsi testing).

Currently, blk-mq timeout path synchronizes against the usual
issue/completion path using a complex scheme involving atomic
bitflags, REQ_ATOM_*, memory barriers and subtle memory coherence
rules. Unfortunately, it contains quite a few holes.
There's a complex dancing around REQ_ATOM_STARTED and
REQ_ATOM_COMPLETE between issue/completion and timeout paths; however,
they don't have a synchronization point across request recycle
instances and it isn't clear what the barriers add.
blk_mq_check_expired() can easily read STARTED from N-2'th iteration,
deadline from N-1'th, blk_mark_rq_complete() against Nth instance.
In fact, it's pretty easy to make blk_mq_check_expired() terminate a
later instance of a request. If we induce 5 sec delay before
time_after_eq() test in blk_mq_check_expired(), shorten the timeout to
2s, and issue back-to-back large IOs, blk-mq starts timing out
requests spuriously pretty quickly. Nothing actually timed out. It
just made the call on a recycle instance of a request and then
terminated a later instance long after the original instance finished.
The scenario isn't theoretical either.
This patch replaces the broken synchronization mechanism with a RCU
and generation number based one.
1. Each request has a u64 generation + state value, which can be
updated only by the request owner. Whenever a request becomes
in-flight, the generation number gets bumped up too. This provides
the basis for the timeout path to distinguish different recycle
instances of the request.
Also, marking a request in-flight and setting its deadline are
protected with a seqcount so that the timeout path can fetch both
values coherently.
2. The timeout path fetches the generation, state and deadline. If
the verdict is timeout, it records the generation into a dedicated
request abortion field and does RCU wait.
3. The completion path is also protected by RCU (from the previous
patch) and checks whether the current generation number and state
match the abortion field. If so, it skips completion.
4. The timeout path, after RCU wait, scans requests again and
terminates the ones whose generation and state still match the ones
requested for abortion.
By now, the timeout path knows that either the generation number
and state changed if it lost the race or the completion will yield
to it and can safely timeout the request.
While it's more lines of code, it's conceptually simpler, doesn't
depend on direct use of subtle memory ordering or coherence, and
hopefully doesn't terminate the wrong instance.
While this change makes REQ_ATOM_COMPLETE synchronization unnecessary
between issue/complete and timeout paths, REQ_ATOM_COMPLETE isn't
removed yet as it's still used in other places. Future patches will
move all state tracking to the new mechanism and remove all bitops in
the hot paths.
Note that this patch adds a comment explaining a race condition in
BLK_EH_RESET_TIMER path. The race has always been there and this
patch doesn't change it. It's just documenting the existing race.

Components relying only on the request_queue structure for accessing
block devices (e.g. I/O schedulers) have a limited knowledged of the
device characteristics. In particular, the device capacity cannot be
easily discovered, which for a zoned block device also result in the
inability to easily know the number of zones of the device (the zone
size is indicated by the chunk_sectors field of the queue limits).
Introduce the nr_zones field to the request_queue structure to simplify
access to this information. Also, add the bitmap seq_zone_bitmap which
indicates which zones of the device are sequential zones (write
preferred or write required) and the bitmap seq_zones_wlock which
indicates if a zone is write locked, that is, if a write request
targeting a zone was dispatched to the device. These fields are
initialized by the low level block device driver (sd.c for ZBC/ZAC
disks). They are not initialized by stacking drivers (device mappers)
handling zoned block devices (e.g. dm-linear).
Using this, I/O schedulers can introduce zone write locking to control
request dispatching to a zoned block device and avoid write request
reordering by limiting to at most a single write request per zone
outside of the scheduler at any time.

The contexts from which a SCSI device can be quiesced or resumed are:
* Writing into /sys/class/scsi_device/*/device/state.
* SCSI parallel (SPI) domain validation.
* The SCSI device power management methods. See also scsi_bus_pm_ops.
It is essential during suspend and resume that neither the filesystem
state nor the filesystem metadata in RAM changes. This is why while
the hibernation image is being written or restored that SCSI devices
are quiesced. The SCSI core quiesces devices through scsi_device_quiesce()
and scsi_device_resume(). In the SDEV_QUIESCE state execution of
non-preempt requests is deferred. This is realized by returning
BLKPREP_DEFER from inside scsi_prep_state_check() for quiesced SCSI
devices. Avoid that a full queue prevents power management requests
to be submitted by deferring allocation of non-preempt requests for
devices in the quiesced state. This patch has been tested by running
the following commands and by verifying that after each resume the

lock(s_active#228);
lock(&bdev->bd_mutex);
*** DEADLOCK ***
The deadlock may happen when one task (CPU1) is trying to delete a
partition in a block device and another task (CPU0) is accessing
tracing sysfs file (e.g. /sys/block/dm-1/trace/act_mask) in that
partition.
The s_active isn't an actual lock. It is a reference count (kn->count)
on the sysfs (kernfs) file. Removal of a sysfs file, however, require
a wait until all the references are gone. The reference count is
treated like a rwsem using lockdep instrumentation code.
The fact that a thread is in the sysfs callback method or in the
ioctl call means there is a reference to the opended sysfs or device
file. That should prevent the underlying block structure from being
removed.
Instead of using bd_mutex in the block_device structure, a new
blk_trace_mutex is now added to the request_queue structure to protect
access to the blk_trace structure.

A NULL pointer crash was reported for the case of having the BFQ IO
scheduler attached to the underlying blk-mq paths of a DM multipath
device. The crash occured in blk_mq_sched_insert_request()'s call to
e->type->ops.mq.insert_requests().
Paolo Valente correctly summarized why the crash occured with:
"the call chain (dm_mq_queue_rq -> map_request -> setup_clone ->
blk_rq_prep_clone) creates a cloned request without invoking
e->type->ops.mq.prepare_request for the target elevator e. The cloned
request is therefore not initialized for the scheduler, but it is
however inserted into the scheduler by blk_mq_sched_insert_request."
All said, a request-based DM multipath device's IO scheduler should be
the only one used -- when the original requests are issued to the
underlying paths as cloned requests they are inserted directly in the
underlying dispatch queue(s) rather than through an additional elevator.
But commit bd166ef18 ("blk-mq-sched: add framework for MQ capable IO
schedulers") switched blk_insert_cloned_request() from using
blk_mq_insert_request() to blk_mq_sched_insert_request(). Which
incorrectly added elevator machinery into a call chain that isn't
supposed to have any.
To fix this introduce a blk-mq private blk_mq_request_bypass_insert()
that blk_insert_cloned_request() calls to insert the request without
involving any elevator that may be attached to the cloned request's
request_queue.

This way we don't need a block_device structure to submit I/O. The
block_device has different life time rules from the gendisk and
request_queue and is usually only available when the block device node
is open. Other callers need to explicitly create one (e.g. the lightnvm
passthrough code, or the new nvme multipathing code).
For the actual I/O path all that we need is the gendisk, which exists
once per block device. But given that the block layer also does
partition remapping we additionally need a partition index, which is
used for said remapping in generic_make_request.
Note that all the block drivers generally want request_queue or

of retrying.
Stacked devices such as md (the ones with make_request_fn hooks)

A rescuing bioset is only useful if there might be bios from
that same bioset on the bio_list_on_stack queue at a time
when bio_alloc_bioset() is called. This never applies to
q->bio_split.
Allocations from q->bio_split are only ever made from
blk_queue_split() which is only ever called early in each of
various make_request_fn()s. The original bio (call this A)
is then passed to generic_make_request() and is placed on
the bio_list_on_stack queue, and the bio that was allocated
from q->bio_split (B) is processed.
The processing of this may cause other bios to be passed to
generic_make_request() or may even cause the bio B itself to
be passed, possible after some prefix has been split off
(using some other bioset).
generic_make_request() now guarantees that all of these bios
(B and dependants) will be fully processed before the tail
of the original bio A gets handled. None of these early bios
can possible trigger an allocation from the original
q->bio_split as they are either too small to require
splitting or (more likely) are destined for a different queue.
The next time that the original q->bio_split might be used
by this thread is when A is processed again, as it might
still be too big to handle directly. By this time there
cannot be any other bios allocated from q->bio_split in the
generic_make_request() queue. So no rescuing will ever be
needed.

Currently we use nornal Linux errno values in the block layer, and while

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 only difference between ->run_work and ->delay_work, is that
the latter is used to defer running a queue. This is done by
marking the queue stopped, and scheduling ->delay_work to run
sometime in the future. While the queue is stopped, direct runs
or runs through ->run_work will not run the queue.
If we combine the handlers, then we need to handle two things:
1) If a delayed/stopped run is scheduled, then we should not run
the queue before that has been completed.
2) If a queue is delayed/stopped, the handler needs to restart
the queue. Normally a run of a queue with the stopped bit set
would be a no-op.
Case 1 is handled by modifying a currently pending queue run
to the deadline set by the caller of blk_mq_delay_queue().
Subsequent attempts to queue a queue run will find the work
item already pending, and direct runs will see a stopped queue
as before.
Case 2 is handled by adding a new bit, BLK_MQ_S_START_ON_RUN,
that tells the work handler that it should clear a stopped
queue and run the handler.

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.

If a driver allocates a queue for stacked usage, then it does

Additionally, allow a NULL callback unregistration. This avoids
having the caller check for that, fixing another oops on
removal of a block device that doesn't have poll stats allocated.
Fixes: 34dbad5d26 ("blk-stat: convert to callback-based statistics reporting")
Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@fb.com>
Currently, statistics are gathered in ~0.13s windows, and users grab the
statistics whenever they need them. This is not ideal for both in-tree
users:
1. Writeback throttling wants its own dynamically sized window of
statistics. Since the blk-stats statistics are reset after every
window and the wbt windows don't line up with the blk-stats windows,
wbt doesn't see every I/O.
2. Polling currently grabs the statistics on every I/O. Again, depending
on how the window lines up, we may miss some I/Os. It's also
unnecessary overhead to get the statistics on every I/O; the hybrid
polling heuristic would be just as happy with the statistics from the
previous full window.
This reworks the blk-stats infrastructure to be callback-based: users
register a callback that they want called at a given time with all of
the statistics from the window during which the callback was active.
Users can dynamically bucketize the statistics. wbt and polling both
currently use read vs. write, but polling can be extended to further
subdivide based on request size.
The callbacks are kept on an RCU list, and each callback has percpu
stats buffers. There will only be a few users, so the overhead on the
I/O completion side is low. The stats flushing is also simplified
considerably: since the timer function is responsible for clearing the
statistics, we don't have to worry about stale statistics.
wbt is a trivial conversion. After the conversion, the windowing problem
mentioned above is fixed.
For polling, we register an extra callback that caches the previous
window's statistics in the struct request_queue for the hybrid polling
heuristic to use.
Since we no longer have a single stats buffer for the request queue,
this also removes the sysfs and debugfs stats entries. To replace those,
we add a debugfs entry for the poll statistics.

To avoid recursion on the kernel stack when stacked block devices
are in use, generic_make_request() will, when called recursively,
queue new requests for later handling. They will be handled when the
make_request_fn for the current bio completes.
If any bios are submitted by a make_request_fn, these will ultimately
be handled seqeuntially. If the handling of one of those generates
further requests, they will be added to the end of the queue.
This strict first-in-first-out behaviour can lead to deadlocks in
various ways, normally because a request might need to wait for a
previous request to the same device to complete. This can happen when
they share a mempool, and can happen due to interdependencies
particular to the device. Both md and dm have examples where this happens.
These deadlocks can be erradicated by more selective ordering of bios.
Specifically by handling them in depth-first order. That is: when the
handling of one bio generates one or more further bios, they are
handled immediately after the parent, before any siblings of the
parent. That way, when generic_make_request() calls make_request_fn
for some particular device, we can be certain that all previously
submited requests for that device have been completely handled and are
not waiting for anything in the queue of requests maintained in
generic_make_request().
An easy way to achieve this would be to use a last-in-first-out stack
instead of a queue. However this will change the order of consecutive
bios submitted by a make_request_fn, which could have unexpected consequences.
Instead we take a slightly more complex approach.
A fresh queue is created for each call to a make_request_fn. After it completes,
any bios for a different device are placed on the front of the main queue, followed
by any bios for the same device, followed by all bios that were already on
the queue before the make_request_fn was called.
This provides the depth-first approach without reordering bios on the same level.
This, by itself, it not enough to remove all deadlocks. It just makes
it possible for drivers to take the extra step required themselves.
To avoid deadlocks, drivers must never risk waiting for a request
after submitting one to generic_make_request. This includes never
allocing from a mempool twice in the one call to a make_request_fn.
A common pattern in drivers is to call bio_split() in a loop, handling
the first part and then looping around to possibly split the next part.
Instead, a driver that finds it needs to split a bio should queue
(with generic_make_request) the second part, handle the first part,
and then return. The new code in generic_make_request will ensure the
requests to underlying bios are processed first, then the second bio
that was split off. If it splits again, the same process happens. In
each case one bio will be completely handled before the next one is attempted.
With this is place, it should be possible to disable the
punt_bios_to_recover() recovery thread for many block devices, and
eventually it may be possible to remove it completely.

This reverts commit 0dba1314d4. It causes
leaking of device numbers for SCSI when SCSI registers multiple gendisks
for one request_queue in succession. It can be easily reproduced using
Omar's script [1] on kernel with CONFIG_DEBUG_TEST_DRIVER_REMOVE.
Furthermore the protection provided by this commit is not needed anymore
as the problem it was fixing got also fixed by commit 165a5e22fa
"block: Move bdi_unregister() to del_gendisk()".

Commit 6cd18e711d "block: destroy bdi before blockdev is
unregistered." moved bdi unregistration (at that time through
bdi_destroy()) from blk_release_queue() to blk_cleanup_queue() because
it needs to happen before blk_unregister_region() call in del_gendisk()
for MD. SCSI though will free up the device number from sd_remove()
called through a maze of callbacks from device_del() in
__scsi_remove_device() before blk_cleanup_queue() and thus similar races
as described in 6cd18e711d can happen for SCSI as well as reported by
Omar [1].
Moving bdi_unregister() to del_gendisk() works for MD and fixes the
problem for SCSI since del_gendisk() gets called from sd_remove() before
freeing the device number.
This also makes device_add_disk() (calling bdi_register_owner()) more
symmetric with del_gendisk().

Add a new merge strategy that merges discard bios into a request until the
maximum number of discard ranges (or the maximum discard size) is reached
from the plug merging code. I/O scheduler merging is not wired up yet
but might also be useful, although not for fast devices like NVMe which
are the only user for now.
Note that for now we don't support limiting the size of each discard range,
but if needed that can be added later.

If we end up doing a request-to-request merge when we have completed
a bio-to-request merge, we free the request from deep down in that
path. For blk-mq-sched, the merge path has to hold the appropriate
lock, but we don't need it for freeing the request. And in fact
holding the lock is problematic, since we are now calling the
mq sched put_rq_private() hook with the lock held. Other call paths
do not hold this lock.
Fix this inconsistency by ensuring that the caller frees a merged
request. Then we can do it outside of the lock, making it both more
efficient and fixing the blk-mq-sched problem of invoking parts of
the scheduler with an unknown lock state.
