a06fd6b102 writeback: make laptop_mode_timer_fn() handle multiple bdi_writeback's
For cgroup writeback support, all bdi-wide operations should be
distributed to all its wb's (bdi_writeback's).

This patch updates laptop_mode_timer_fn() so that it invokes
wb_start_writeback() on all wb's rather than just the root one.  As
the intent is writing out all dirty data, there's no reason to split
the number of pages to write.

This patches removes bdi_start_writeback(), renames

693108a8a6 writeback: make bdi->min/max_ratio handling cgroup writeback aware
bdi->min/max_ratio are user-configurable per-bdi knobs which regulate
dirty limit of each bdi.  For cgroup writeback, they need to be
further distributed across wb's (bdi_writeback's) belonging to the
configured bdi.

This patch introduces wb_min_max_ratio() which distributes
bdi->min/max_ratio according to a wb's proportion in the total active
bandwidth of its bdi.

v2: Update wb_min_max_ratio() to fix a bug where both min and max were
    assigned the min value and avoid calculations when possible.

e79729123f writeback: don't issue wb_writeback_work if clean
There are several places in fs/fs-writeback.c which queues
wb_writeback_work without checking whether the target wb
(bdi_writeback) has dirty inodes or not.  The only thing
wb_writeback_work does is writing back the dirty inodes for the target
wb and queueing a work item for a clean wb is essentially noop.  There
are some side effects such as bandwidth stats being updated and
triggering tracepoints but these don't affect the operation in any
meaningful way.

This patch makes all writeback_inodes_sb_nr() and sync_inodes_sb()
skip wb_queue_work() if the target bdi is clean.  Also, it moves
dirtiness check from wakeup_flusher_threads() to
__wb_start_writeback() so that all its callers benefit from the check.

While the overhead incurred by scheduling a noop work isn't currently
significant, the overhead may be higher with cgroup writeback support
as we may end up issuing noop work items to a lot of clean wb's.

95a46c65e3 writeback: make bdi_has_dirty_io() take multiple bdi_writeback's into account
bdi_has_dirty_io() used to only reflect whether the root wb
(bdi_writeback) has dirty inodes.  For cgroup writeback support, it
needs to take all active wb's into account.  If any wb on the bdi has
dirty inodes, bdi_has_dirty_io() should return true.

To achieve that, as inode_wb_list_{move|del}_locked() now keep track
of the dirty state transition of each wb, the number of dirty wbs can
be counted in the bdi; however, bdi is already aggregating
wb->avg_write_bandwidth which can easily be guaranteed to be > 0 when
there are any dirty inodes by ensuring wb->avg_write_bandwidth can't
dip below 1.  bdi_has_dirty_io() can simply test whether
bdi->tot_write_bandwidth is zero or not.

While this bumps the value of wb->avg_write_bandwidth to one when it
used to be zero, this shouldn't cause any meaningful behavior
difference.

bdi_has_dirty_io() is made an inline function which tests whether
->tot_write_bandwidth is non-zero.  Also, WARN_ON_ONCE()'s on its
value are added to inode_wb_list_{move|del}_locked().

766a9d6e60 writeback: implement backing_dev_info->tot_write_bandwidth
cgroup writeback support needs to keep track of the sum of
avg_write_bandwidth of all wb's (bdi_writeback's) with dirty inodes to

and updates inode_wb_list_move_locked(), inode_wb_list_del_locked()
and wb_update_write_bandwidth() to adjust it as wb's gain and lose
dirty inodes and its avg_write_bandwidth gets updated.

As the update events are not synchronized with each other,
bdi->tot_write_bandwidth is an atomic_long_t.

d6c10f1fc8 writeback: implement WB_has_dirty_io wb_state flag
Currently, wb_has_dirty_io() determines whether a wb (bdi_writeback)
has any dirty inode by testing all three IO lists on each invocation
without actively keeping track.  For cgroup writeback support, a
single bdi will host multiple wb's each of which will host dirty
inodes separately and we'll need to make bdi_has_dirty_io(), which
currently only represents the root wb, aggregate has_dirty_io from all
member wb's, which requires tracking transitions in has_dirty_io state
on each wb.

This patch introduces inode_wb_list_{move|del}_locked() to consolidate
IO list operations leaving queue_io() the only other function which
directly manipulates IO lists (via move_expired_inodes()).  All three
functions are updated to call wb_io_lists_[de]populated() which keep
track of whether the wb has dirty inodes or not and record it using
the new WB_has_dirty_io flag.  inode_wb_list_moved_locked()'s return
value indicates whether the wb had no dirty inodes before.

mark_inode_dirty() is restructured so that the return value of
inode_wb_list_move_locked() can be used for deciding whether to wake
up the wb.

While at it, change {bdi|wb}_has_dirty_io()'s return values to bool.
These functions were returning 0 and 1 before.  Also, add a comment
explaining the synchronization of wb_state flags.

v2: Updated to accommodate b_dirty_time.

703c270887 writeback: implement and use inode_congested()
In several places, bdi_congested() and its wrappers are used to
determine whether more IOs should be issued.  With cgroup writeback
support, this question can't be answered solely based on the bdi
(backing_dev_info).  It's dependent on whether the filesystem and bdi
support cgroup writeback and the blkcg the inode is associated with.

This patch implements inode_congested() and its wrappers which take
@inode and determines the congestion state considering cgroup
writeback.  The new functions replace bdi_*congested() calls in places
where the query is about specific inode and task.

There are several filesystem users which also fit this criteria but
they should be updated when each filesystem implements cgroup
writeback support.

v2: Now that a given inode is associated with only one wb, congestion
    state can be determined independent from the asking task.  Drop
    @task.  Spotted by Vivek.  Also, converted to take @inode instead
    of @mapping and renamed to inode_congested().

482cf79cdf writeback, blkcg: propagate non-root blkcg congestion state
Now that bdi layer can handle per-blkcg bdi_writeback_congested state,
blk_{set|clear}_congested() can propagate non-root blkcg congestion
state to them.

This can be easily achieved by disabling the root_rl tests in
blk_{set|clear}_congested().  Note that we still need those tests when
!CONFIG_CGROUP_WRITEBACK as otherwise we'll end up flipping root blkcg
wb's congestion state for events happening on other blkcgs.

v2: Updated for bdi_writeback_congested.

d40f75a06d writeback, blkcg: restructure blk_{set|clear}_queue_congested()
blk_{set|clear}_queue_congested() take @q and set or clear,
respectively, the congestion state of its bdi's root wb.  Because bdi
used to be able to handle congestion state only on the root wb, the
callers of those functions tested whether the congestion is on the
root blkcg and skipped if not.

This is cumbersome and makes implementation of per cgroup
bdi_writeback congestion state propagation difficult.  This patch
renames blk_{set|clear}_queue_congested() to
blk_{set|clear}_congested(), and makes them take request_list instead
of request_queue and test whether the specified request_list is the
root one before updating bdi_writeback congestion state.  This makes
the tests in the callers unnecessary and simplifies them.

As there are no external users of these functions, the definitions are
moved from include/linux/blkdev.h to block/blk-core.c.

This patch doesn't introduce any noticeable behavior difference.

ec8a6f2643 writeback: make congestion functions per bdi_writeback
Currently, all congestion functions take bdi (backing_dev_info) and
always operate on the root wb (bdi->wb) and the congestion state from
the block layer is propagated only for the root blkcg.  This patch
introduces {set|clear}_wb_congested() and wb_congested() which take a
bdi_writeback_congested and bdi_writeback respectively.  The bdi
counteparts are now wrappers invoking the wb based functions on
@bdi->wb.

While converting clear_bdi_congested() to clear_wb_congested(), the
local variable declaration order between @wqh and @bit is swapped for
cosmetic reason.

This patch just adds the new wb based functions.  The following
patches will apply them.

ce7acfeaf0 writeback, blkcg: associate each blkcg_gq with the corresponding bdi_writeback_congested
A blkg (blkcg_gq) can be congested and decongested independently from
other blkgs on the same request_queue.  Accordingly, for cgroup
writeback support, the congestion status at bdi (backing_dev_info)

52ebea749a writeback: make backing_dev_info host cgroup-specific bdi_writebacks
For the planned cgroup writeback support, on each bdi
(backing_dev_info), each memcg will be served by a separate wb
(bdi_writeback).  This patch updates bdi so that a bdi can host
multiple wbs (bdi_writebacks).

On the default hierarchy, blkcg implicitly enables memcg.  This allows
using memcg's page ownership for attributing writeback IOs, and every
memcg - blkcg combination can be served by its own wb by assigning a
dedicated wb to each memcg.  This means that there may be multiple
wb's of a bdi mapped to the same blkcg.  As congested state is per
blkcg - bdi combination, those wb's should share the same congested
state.  This is achieved by tracking congested state via
bdi_writeback_congested structs which are keyed by blkcg.

bdi->wb remains unchanged and will keep serving the root cgroup.
cgwb's (cgroup wb's) for non-root cgroups are created on-demand or
looked up while dirtying an inode according to the memcg of the page
being dirtied or current task.  Each cgwb is indexed on bdi->cgwb_tree
by its memcg id.  Once an inode is associated with its wb, it can be
retrieved using inode_to_wb().

Currently, none of the filesystems has FS_CGROUP_WRITEBACK and all
pages will keep being associated with bdi->wb.

v3: inode_attach_wb() in account_page_dirtied() moved inside
    mapping_cap_account_dirty() block where it's known to be !NULL.
    Also, an unnecessary NULL check before kfree() removed.  Both
    detected by the kbuild bot.

v2: Updated so that wb association is per inode and wb is per memcg
    rather than blkcg.

f0054bb1e1 writeback: move backing_dev_info->wb_lock and ->worklist into bdi_writeback
Currently, a bdi (backing_dev_info) embeds single wb (bdi_writeback)
and the role of the separation is unclear.  For cgroup support for
writeback IOs, a bdi will be updated to host multiple wb's where each
wb serves writeback IOs of a different cgroup on the bdi.  To achieve
that, a wb should carry all states necessary for servicing writeback
IOs for a cgroup independently.

This patch moves bdi->wb_lock and ->worklist into wb.

* The lock protects bdi->worklist and bdi->wb.dwork scheduling.  While
  moving, rename it to wb->work_lock as wb->wb_lock is confusing.
  Also, move wb->dwork downwards so that it's colocated with the new
  ->work_lock and ->work_list fields.

* bdi_writeback_workfn()		-> wb_workfn()
  bdi_wakeup_thread_delayed(bdi)	-> wb_wakeup_delayed(wb)
  bdi_wakeup_thread(bdi)		-> wb_wakeup(wb)
  bdi_queue_work(bdi, ...)		-> wb_queue_work(wb, ...)
  __bdi_start_writeback(bdi, ...)	-> __wb_start_writeback(wb, ...)
  get_next_work_item(bdi)		-> get_next_work_item(wb)

* bdi_wb_shutdown() is renamed to wb_shutdown() and now takes @wb.
  The function contained parts which belong to the containing bdi
  rather than the wb itself - testing cap_writeback_dirty and
  bdi_remove_from_list() invocation.  Those are moved to

de1fff37b2 writeback: s/bdi/wb/ in mm/page-writeback.c
Writeback operations will now be per wb (bdi_writeback) instead of
bdi.  Replace the relevant bdi references in symbol names and comments
with wb.  This patch is purely cosmetic and doesn't make any
functional changes.

a88a341a73 writeback: move bandwidth related fields from backing_dev_info into bdi_writeback
Currently, a bdi (backing_dev_info) embeds single wb (bdi_writeback)
and the role of the separation is unclear.  For cgroup support for
writeback IOs, a bdi will be updated to host multiple wb's where each
wb serves writeback IOs of a different cgroup on the bdi.  To achieve
that, a wb should carry all states necessary for servicing writeback
IOs for a cgroup independently.

This patch moves bandwidth related fields from backing_dev_info into
bdi_writeback.

* The moved fields are: bw_time_stamp, dirtied_stamp, written_stamp,
  write_bandwidth, avg_write_bandwidth, dirty_ratelimit,
  balanced_dirty_ratelimit, completions and dirty_exceeded.

* writeback_chunk_size() and over_bground_thresh() now take @wb
  instead of @bdi.

* bdi_writeout_fraction(bdi, ...)	-> wb_writeout_fraction(wb, ...)
  bdi_dirty_limit(bdi, ...)		-> wb_dirty_limit(wb, ...)
  bdi_position_ration(bdi, ...)		-> wb_position_ratio(wb, ...)
  bdi_update_writebandwidth(bdi, ...)	-> wb_update_write_bandwidth(wb, ...)
  [__]bdi_update_bandwidth(bdi, ...)	-> [__]wb_update_bandwidth(wb, ...)
  bdi_{max|min}_pause(bdi, ...)		-> wb_{max|min}_pause(wb, ...)
  bdi_dirty_limits(bdi, ...)		-> wb_dirty_limits(wb, ...)

* Init/exits of the relocated fields are moved to bdi_wb_init/exit()
  respectively.  Note that explicit zeroing is dropped in the process
  as wb's are cleared in entirety anyway.

* As there's still only one bdi_writeback per backing_dev_info, all
  uses of bdi->stat[] are mechanically replaced with bdi->wb.stat[]
  introducing no behavior changes.

v2: Typo in description fixed as suggested by Jan.

ad7fa852d3 memcg: implement mem_cgroup_css_from_page()
Implement mem_cgroup_css_from_page() which returns the
cgroup_subsys_state of the memcg associated with a given page on the
default hierarchy.  This will be used by cgroup writeback support.

This function assumes that page->mem_cgroup association doesn't change
until the page is released, which is true on the default hierarchy as
long as replace_page_cache_page() is not used.  As the only user of
replace_page_cache_page() is FUSE which won't support cgroup writeback
for the time being, this works for now, and replace_page_cache_page()
will soon be updated so that the invariant actually holds.

Note that the RCU protected page->mem_cgroup access is consistent with
other usages across memcg but ultimately incorrect.  These unlocked
accesses are missing required barriers.  page->mem_cgroup should be
made an RCU pointer and updated and accessed using RCU operations.

v4: Instead of triggering WARN, return the root css on the traditional
    hierarchies.  This makes the function a lot easier to deal with
    especially as there's no light way to synchronize against
    hierarchy rebinding.

v3: s/mem_cgroup_migrate()/mem_cgroup_css_from_page()/

v2: Trigger WARN if the function is used on the traditional
    hierarchies and add comment about the assumed invariant.

ec13b1d6f0 blkcg: always create the blkcg_gq for the root blkcg
Currently, blkcg does a minor optimization where the root blkcg is
created when the first blkcg policy is activated on a queue and
destroyed on the deactivation of the last.  On systems where blkcg is
configured but not used, this saves one blkcg_gq struct per queue.  On
systems where blkcg is actually used, there's no difference.  The only
case where this can lead to any meaninful, albeit still minute, save
in memory consumption is when all blkcg policies are deactivated after
being widely used in the system, which is a hihgly unlikely scenario.

The conditional existence of root blkcg_gq has already created several
bugs in blkcg and became an issue once again for the new per-cgroup
wb_congested mechanism for cgroup writeback support leading to a NULL
dereference when no blkcg policy is active.  This is really not worth
bothering with.  This patch makes blkcg always allocate and link the
root blkcg_gq and release it only on queue destruction.

c4843a7593 memcg: add per cgroup dirty page accounting
When modifying PG_Dirty on cached file pages, update the new
MEM_CGROUP_STAT_DIRTY counter.  This is done in the same places where
global NR_FILE_DIRTY is managed.  The new memcg stat is visible in the
per memcg memory.stat cgroupfs file.  The most recent past attempt at
this was http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel.cgroups/8632

The new accounting supports future efforts to add per cgroup dirty
page throttling and writeback.  It also helps an administrator break
down a container's memory usage and provides evidence to understand
memcg oom kills (the new dirty count is included in memcg oom kill
messages).

The ability to move page accounting between memcg
(memory.move_charge_at_immigrate) makes this accounting more
complicated than the global counter.  The existing
mem_cgroup_{begin,end}_page_stat() lock is used to serialize move
accounting with stat updates.
Typical update operation:
	memcg = mem_cgroup_begin_page_stat(page)
	if (TestSetPageDirty()) {
		[...]
		mem_cgroup_update_page_stat(memcg)
	}
	mem_cgroup_end_page_stat(memcg)

Summary of mem_cgroup_end_page_stat() overhead:
- Without CONFIG_MEMCG it's a no-op
- With CONFIG_MEMCG and no inter memcg task movement, it's just
  rcu_read_lock()
- With CONFIG_MEMCG and inter memcg  task movement, it's
  rcu_read_lock() + spin_lock_irqsave()

A memcg parameter is added to several routines because their callers
now grab mem_cgroup_begin_page_stat() which returns the memcg later
needed by for mem_cgroup_update_page_stat().

Because mem_cgroup_begin_page_stat() may disable interrupts, some
adjustments are needed:
- move __mark_inode_dirty() from __set_page_dirty() to its caller.
  __mark_inode_dirty() locking does not want interrupts disabled.
- use spin_lock_irqsave(tree_lock) rather than spin_lock_irq() in
  __delete_from_page_cache(), replace_page_cache_page(),
  invalidate_complete_page2(), and __remove_mapping().

11f81becca page_writeback: revive cancel_dirty_page() in a restricted form
cancel_dirty_page() had some issues and b9ea25152e ("page_writeback:
clean up mess around cancel_dirty_page()") replaced it with
account_page_cleaned() which makes the caller responsible for clearing
the dirty bit; unfortunately, the planned changes for cgroup writeback
support requires synchronization between dirty bit manipulation and
stat updates.  While we can open-code such synchronization in each
account_page_cleaned() callsite, that's gonna be unnecessarily awkward
and verbose.

This patch revives cancel_dirty_page() but in a more restricted form.
All it does is TestClearPageDirty() followed by account_page_cleaned()
invocation if the page was dirty.  This helper covers all
account_page_cleaned() usages except for __delete_from_page_cache()
which is a special case anyway and left alone.  As this leaves no
module user for account_page_cleaned(), EXPORT_SYMBOL() is dropped
from it.

This patch just revives cancel_dirty_page() as a trivial wrapper to
replace equivalent usages and doesn't introduce any functional
changes.

5f1b670d0b block, dm: don't copy bios for request clones
Currently dm-multipath has to clone the bios for every request sent
to the lower devices, which wastes cpu cycles and ties down memory.

This patch instead adds a new REQ_CLONE flag that instructs req_bio_endio
to not complete bios attached to a request, which we set on clone
requests similar to bios in a flush sequence.  With this change I/O
errors on a path failure only get propagated to dm-multipath, which
can then either resubmit the I/O or complete the bios on the original
request.

I've done some basic testing of this on a Linux target with ALUA support,
and it survives path failures during I/O nicely.

326e1dbb57 block: remove management of bi_remaining when restoring original bi_end_io
Commit c4cf5261 ("bio: skip atomic inc/dec of ->bi_remaining for
non-chains") regressed all existing callers that followed this pattern:
 1) saving a bio's original bi_end_io
 2) wiring up an intermediate bi_end_io
 3) restoring the original bi_end_io from intermediate bi_end_io
 4) calling bio_endio() to execute the restored original bi_end_io

The regression was due to BIO_CHAIN only ever getting set if
bio_inc_remaining() is called.  For the above pattern it isn't set until
step 3 above (step 2 would've needed to establish BIO_CHAIN).  As such
the first bio_endio(), in step 2 above, never decremented __bi_remaining
before calling the intermediate bi_end_io -- leaving __bi_remaining with
the value 1 instead of 0.  When bio_inc_remaining() occurred during step
3 it brought it to a value of 2.  When the second bio_endio() was
called, in step 4 above, it should've called the original bi_end_io but
it didn't because there was an extra reference that wasn't dropped (due
to atomic operations being optimized away since BIO_CHAIN wasn't set
upfront).

Fix this issue by removing the __bi_remaining management complexity for
all callers that use the above pattern -- bio_chain() is the only
interface that _needs_ to be concerned with __bi_remaining.  For the
above pattern callers just expect the bi_end_io they set to get called!
Remove bio_endio_nodec() and also remove all bio_inc_remaining() calls
that aren't associated with the bio_chain() interface.

Also, the bio_inc_remaining() interface has been moved local to bio.c.

b04a5636a6 block: replace trylock with mutex_lock in blkdev_reread_part()
The only possible problem of using mutex_lock() instead of trylock
is about deadlock.

If there aren't any locks held before calling blkdev_reread_part(),
deadlock can't be caused by this conversion.

If there are locks held before calling blkdev_reread_part(),
and if these locks arn't required in open, close handler and I/O
path, deadlock shouldn't be caused too.

Both user space's ioctl(BLKRRPART) and md_setup_drive() from
init/do_mounts_md.c belongs to the 1st case, so the conversion is safe
for the two cases.

For loop, the previous patches in this pathset has fixed the ABBA lock
dependency, so the conversion is OK.

For nbd, tx_lock is held when calling the function:

	- both open and release won't hold the lock
	- when blkdev_reread_part() is run, I/O thread has been stopped
	already, so tx_lock won't be acquired in I/O path at that time.
	- so the conversion won't cause deadlock for nbd

For dasd, both dasd_open(), dasd_release() and request function don't
acquire any mutex/semphone, so the conversion should be safe.

be32417796 block: export blkdev_reread_part() and __blkdev_reread_part()
This patch exports blkdev_reread_part() for block drivers, also
introduce __blkdev_reread_part().

For some drivers, such as loop, reread of partitions can be run
from the release path, and bd_mutex may already be held prior to
calling ioctl_by_bdev(bdev, BLKRRPART, 0), so introduce
__blkdev_reread_part for use in such cases.
