A few of static variables in blkback have 'xen_blkif_' prefix, though it
is unnecessary for static variables. This commit removes such prefixes.

Each `blkif` has a free pages pool for the grant mapping. The size of
the pool starts from zero and is increased on demand while processing
the I/O requests. If current I/O requests handling is finished or 100
milliseconds has passed since last I/O requests handling, it checks and
shrinks the pool to not exceed the size limit, `max_buffer_pages`.
Therefore, host administrators can cause memory pressure in blkback by
attaching a large number of block devices and inducing I/O. Such
problematic situations can be avoided by limiting the maximum number of
devices that can be attached, but finding the optimal limit is not so
easy. Improper set of the limit can results in memory pressure or a
resource underutilization. This commit avoids such problematic
situations by squeezing the pools (returns every free page in the pool
to the system) for a while (users can set this duration via a module
parameter) if memory pressure is detected.
Discussions
===========
The `blkback`'s original shrinking mechanism returns only pages in the
pool which are not currently be used by `blkback` to the system. In
other words, the pages that are not mapped with granted pages. Because
this commit is changing only the shrink limit but still uses the same
freeing mechanism it does not touch pages which are currently mapping
grants.
Once memory pressure is detected, this commit keeps the squeezing limit
for a user-specified time duration. The duration should be neither too
long nor too short. If it is too long, the squeezing incurring overhead
can reduce the I/O performance. If it is too short, `blkback` will not
free enough pages to reduce the memory pressure. This commit sets the
value as `10 milliseconds` by default because it is a short time in
terms of I/O while it is a long time in terms of memory operations.
Also, as the original shrinking mechanism works for at least every 100
milliseconds, this could be a somewhat reasonable choice. I also tested
other durations (refer to the below section for more details) and
confirmed that 10 milliseconds is the one that works best with the test.
That said, the proper duration depends on actual configurations and
workloads. That's why this commit allows users to set the duration as a
module parameter.
Memory Pressure Test
====================
To show how this commit fixes the memory pressure situation well, I
configured a test environment on a xen-running virtualization system.
On the `blkfront` running guest instances, I attach a large number of
network-backed volume devices and induce I/O to those. Meanwhile, I
measure the number of pages that swapped in (pswpin) and out (pswpout)
on the `blkback` running guest. The test ran twice, once for the
`blkback` before this commit and once for that after this commit. As
shown below, this commit has dramatically reduced the memory pressure:
pswpin pswpout
before 76,672 185,799
after 867 3,967
Optimal Aggressive Shrinking Duration
-------------------------------------
To find a best squeezing duration, I repeated the test with three
different durations (1ms, 10ms, and 100ms). The results are as below:
duration pswpin pswpout
1 707 5,095
10 867 3,967
100 362 3,348
As expected, the memory pressure decreases as the duration increases,
but the reduction become slow from the `10ms`. Based on this results, I
chose the default duration as 10ms.
Performance Overhead Test
=========================
This commit could incur I/O performance degradation under severe memory
pressure because the squeezing will require more page allocations per
I/O. To show the overhead, I artificially made a worst-case squeezing
situation and measured the I/O performance of a `blkfront` running
guest.
For the artificial squeezing, I set the `blkback.max_buffer_pages` using
the `/sys/module/xen_blkback/parameters/max_buffer_pages` file. In this
test, I set the value to `1024` and `0`. The `1024` is the default
value. Setting the value as `0` is same to a situation doing the
squeezing always (worst-case).
If the underlying block device is slow enough, the squeezing overhead
could be hidden. For the reason, I use a fast block device, namely the
rbd[1]:
# xl block-attach guest phy:/dev/ram0 xvdb w
For the I/O performance measurement, I run a simple `dd` command 5 times
directly to the device as below and collect the 'MB/s' results.
$ for i in {1..5}; do dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/xvdb \
bs=4k count=$((256*512)); sync; done
The results are as below. 'max_pgs' represents the value of the
`blkback.max_buffer_pages` parameter.
max_pgs Min Max Median Avg Stddev
0 417 423 420 419.4 2.5099801
1024 414 425 416 417.8 4.4384682
No difference proven at 95.0% confidence
In short, even worst case squeezing on ramdisk based fast block device
makes no visible performance degradation. Please note that this is just
a very simple and minimal test. On systems using super-fast block
devices and a special I/O workload, the results might be different. If
you have any doubt, test on your machine with your workload to find the
optimal squeezing duration for you.

By simply re-attaching to shared rings during connect_ring() rather than
assuming they are freshly allocated (i.e assuming the counters are zero)
it is possible for vbd instances to be unbound and re-bound from and to
(respectively) a running guest.
This has been tested by running:
while true;
do fio --name=randwrite --ioengine=libaio --iodepth=16 \
--rw=randwrite --bs=4k --direct=1 --size=1G --verify=crc32;
done
in a PV guest whilst running:
while true;
do echo vbd-$DOMID-$VBD >unbind;
echo unbound;
sleep 5;
echo vbd-$DOMID-$VBD >bind;
echo bound;
sleep 3;
done
in dom0 from /sys/bus/xen-backend/drivers/vbd to continuously unbind and
re-bind its system disk image.
This is a highly useful feature for a backend module as it allows it to be
unloaded and re-loaded (i.e. updated) without requiring domUs to be halted.
This was also tested by running:
while true;
do echo vbd-$DOMID-$VBD >unbind;
echo unbound;
sleep 5;
rmmod xen-blkback;
echo unloaded;
sleep 1;
modprobe xen-blkback;
echo bound;
cd $(pwd);
sleep 3;
done
in dom0 whilst running the same loop as above in the (single) PV guest.
Some (less stressful) testing has also been done using a Windows HVM guest
with the latest 9.0 PV drivers installed.

For each I/O request, blkback first maps the foreign pages for the
request to its local pages. If an allocation of a local page for the
mapping fails, it should unmap every mapping already made for the
request.
However, blkback's handling mechanism for the allocation failure does
not mark the remaining foreign pages as unmapped. Therefore, the unmap
function merely tries to unmap every valid grant page for the request,
including the pages not mapped due to the allocation failure. On a
system that fails the allocation frequently, this problem leads to
following kernel crash.

The xenstore 'ring-page-order' is used globally for each blkback queue and
therefore should be read from xenstore only once. However, it is obtained
in read_per_ring_refs() which might be called multiple times during the
initialization of each blkback queue.
If the blkfront is malicious and the 'ring-page-order' is set in different
value by blkfront every time before blkback reads it, this may end up at
the "WARN_ON(i != (XEN_BLKIF_REQS_PER_PAGE * blkif->nr_ring_pages));" in
xen_blkif_disconnect() when frontend is destroyed.
This patch reworks connect_ring() to read xenstore 'ring-page-order' only

In xen_blkif_disconnect, before checking inflight I/O, following code
stops the blkback thread,
if (ring->xenblkd) {
kthread_stop(ring->xenblkd);
wake_up(&ring->shutdown_wq);
}
If there is inflight I/O in any non-last queue, blkback returns -EBUSY
directly, and above code would not be called to stop thread of remaining
queue and processs them. When removing vbd device with lots of disk I/O
load, some queues with inflight I/O still have blkback thread running even
though the corresponding vbd device or guest is gone.
And this could cause some problems, for example, if the backend device type
is file, some loop devices and blkback thread always lingers there forever
after guest is destroyed, and this causes failure of umounting repositories
unless rebooting the dom0.
This patch allows thread of every queue has the chance to get stopped.
Otherwise, only thread of queue previous to(including) first busy one get
stopped, blkthread of remaining queue will still run. So stop all threads
properly and return -EBUSY if any queue has inflight I/O.

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
sometimes the gendisk, so this removes a layer of indirection all
over the stack.

xen_blkif_free() won't be called on termination of the last running
request: xen_blkif_put() won't decrement the blkif refcnt to 0 as
xen_blkif_disconnect() didn't finish before thus some xen_blkif_put()
calls in xen_blkif_disconnect() didn't happen.
To solve this deadlock xen_blkif_disconnect() and
xen_blkif_alloc_rings() shouldn't use xen_blkif_put() and
xen_blkif_get() but use some other way to do their accounting of
resources.
This at once fixes another error in xen_blkif_disconnect(): when it
returned early with -EBUSY for another ring than 0 it would call
xen_blkif_put() again for already handled rings on a subsequent call.
This will lead to inconsistencies in the refcnt handling.

Replace bi_error with a new bi_status to allow for a clear conversion.
Note that device mapper overloaded bi_error with a private value, which
we'll have to keep arround at least for now and thus propagate to a
proper blk_status_t value.

Today a Xenstore watch event is delivered via a callback function
declared as:
void (*callback)(struct xenbus_watch *,
const char **vec, unsigned int len);
As all watch events only ever come with two parameters (path and token)
changing the prototype to:
void (*callback)(struct xenbus_watch *,
const char *path, const char *token);
is the natural thing to do.
Apply this change and adapt all users.

Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@fb.com>
The processes names are truncated to 17, while we had the length
of the process as name 20 - which meant that while we filled
it out with various details - the last 3 characters (which had
the queue number) never surfaced to the user-space.
To simplify this and be able to fit the device name, domain id,
and the queue number we remove the 'blkback' from the name.
Prior to this patch the device name is "blkback.<domid>.<name>"
for example: blkback.8.xvda, blkback.11.hda.
With the multiqueue block backend we add "-%d" for the queue.
But sadly this is already way past the limit so it gets stripped.
Possible solution had been identified by Ian:
http://lists.xenproject.org/archives/html/xen-devel/2015-05/msg03516.html
"
If you are pressed for space then the "xvd" is probably a bit redundant
in a string which starts blkbk.
The guest may not even call the device xvdN (iirc BSD has another
prefix) any how, so having blkback say so seems of limited use anyway.
Since this seems to not include a partition number how does this work in
the split partition scheme? (i.e. one where the guest is given xvda1 and
xvda2 rather than xvda with a partition table)
[It will be 'blkback.8.xvda1', and 'blkback.11.xvda2']
Perhaps something derived from one of the schemes in
http://xenbits.xen.org/docs/unstable/misc/vbd-interface.txt might be a
better fit?
After a bit of discussion (see
http://lists.xenproject.org/archives/html/xen-devel/2015-12/msg01588.html)
we settled on dropping the "blback" part.
This will make it possible to have the <domid>.<name>-<queue>:
[1.xvda-0]
[1.xvda-1]
And we enough space to make it go up to:
[32100.xvdfg9-5]

xen_blkif_schedule() kthread calls try_to_freeze() at the beginning of
every attempt to purge the LRU. This operation can't ever succeed though,
as the kthread hasn't marked itself as freezable.
Before (hopefully eventually) kthread freezing gets converted to fileystem
freezing, we'd rather mark xen_blkif_schedule() freezable (as it can
generate I/O during suspend).

With the multi-queue support we could fail at setting up
some of the rings and fail the connection. That meant that
all resources tied to rings[0..n-1] (where n is the ring
that failed to be setup). Eventually the frontend will switch
to the states and we will call xen_blkif_disconnect.
However we do not want to be at the mercy of the frontend
deciding when to change states. This allows us to do the
cleanup right away and freeing resources.
