__GFP_WAIT has been used to identify atomic context in callers that hold
spinlocks or are in interrupts. They are expected to be high priority and
have access one of two watermarks lower than "min" which can be referred
to as the "atomic reserve". __GFP_HIGH users get access to the first
lower watermark and can be called the "high priority reserve".
Over time, callers had a requirement to not block when fallback options
were available. Some have abused __GFP_WAIT leading to a situation where
an optimisitic allocation with a fallback option can access atomic
reserves.
This patch uses __GFP_ATOMIC to identify callers that are truely atomic,
cannot sleep and have no alternative. High priority users continue to use
__GFP_HIGH. __GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM identifies callers that can sleep and
are willing to enter direct reclaim. __GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM to identify
callers that want to wake kswapd for background reclaim. __GFP_WAIT is
redefined as a caller that is willing to enter direct reclaim and wake
kswapd for background reclaim.
This patch then converts a number of sites
o __GFP_ATOMIC is used by callers that are high priority and have memory
pools for those requests. GFP_ATOMIC uses this flag.
o Callers that have a limited mempool to guarantee forward progress clear
__GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM but keep __GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM. bio allocations fall
into this category where kswapd will still be woken but atomic reserves
are not used as there is a one-entry mempool to guarantee progress.
o Callers that are checking if they are non-blocking should use the
helper gfpflags_allow_blocking() where possible. This is because
checking for __GFP_WAIT as was done historically now can trigger false
positives. Some exceptions like dm-crypt.c exist where the code intent
is clearer if __GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM is used instead of the helper due to
flag manipulations.
o Callers that built their own GFP flags instead of starting with GFP_KERNEL
and friends now also need to specify __GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM.
The first key hazard to watch out for is callers that removed __GFP_WAIT
and was depending on access to atomic reserves for inconspicuous reasons.
In some cases it may be appropriate for them to use __GFP_HIGH.
The second key hazard is callers that assembled their own combination of
GFP flags instead of starting with something like GFP_KERNEL. They may
now wish to specify __GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM. It's almost certainly harmless
if it's missed in most cases as other activity will wake kswapd.

Pull core block updates from Jens Axboe:
"This is the core block pull request for 4.4. I've got a few more
topic branches this time around, some of them will layer on top of the
core+drivers changes and will come in a separate round. So not a huge

This pull request contains:
- Enable blk-mq page allocation tracking with kmemleak, from Catalin.
- Unused prototype removal in blk-mq from Christoph.
- Cleanup of the q->blk_trace exchange, using cmpxchg instead of two
xchg()'s, from Davidlohr.
- A plug flush fix from Jeff.
- Also from Jeff, a fix that means we don't have to update shared tag

times on thousands of devices a lot with scsi/blk-mq.
- blk-mq waitqueue barrier fix from Kosuke.
- Various fixes from Ming:
- Fixes for segment merging and splitting, and checks, for
the old core and blk-mq.
- Potential blk-mq speedup by marking ctx pending at the end
of a plug insertion batch in blk-mq.
- direct-io no page dirty on kernel direct reads.
- A WRITE_SYNC fix for mpage from Roman"

blk_mq_tag_update_depth() seems to be missing a memory barrier which
might cause the waker to not notice the waiter and fail to send a

When allocating from the reserved tags pool, bt_get() is called with
a NULL hctx. If all tags are in use, the hw queue is kicked to push
out any pending IO, potentially freeing tags, and tag allocation is
retried. The problem is that blk_mq_run_hw_queue() doesn't check for
a NULL hctx. So we avoid it with a simple NULL hctx test.

This is the blk-mq part to support tag allocation policy. The default
allocation policy isn't changed (though it's not a strict FIFO). The new
policy is round-robin for libata. But it's a try-best implementation. If
multiple tasks are competing, the tags returned will be mixed (which is
unavoidable even with !mq, as requests from different tasks can be
mixed in queue)

The blk-mq tagging tries to maintain some locality between CPUs and
the tags issued. The tags are split into groups of words, and the
words may not be fully populated. When searching for a new free tag,
blk-mq may look at partial words, hence it passes in an offset/size
to find_next_zero_bit(). However, it does that wrong, the size must
always be the full length of the number of tags in that word,
otherwise we'll potentially miss some near the end.
Another issue is when __bt_get() goes from one word set to the next.
It bumps the index, but not the last_tag associated with the
previous index. Bump that to be in the range of the new word.
Finally, clean up __bt_get() and __bt_get_word() a bit and get
rid of the goto in there, and the unnecessary 'wrap' variable.

What we need is the following two guarantees:
* Any thread that observes the effect of the test_and_set_bit() by
__bt_get_word() also observes the preceding addition of 'current'
to the appropriate wait list. This is guaranteed by the semantics
of the spin_unlock() operation performed by prepare_and_wait().
Hence the conversion of test_and_set_bit_lock() into
test_and_set_bit().
* The wait lists are examined by bt_clear() after the tag bit has
been cleared. clear_bit_unlock() guarantees that any thread that
observes that the bit has been cleared also observes the store
operations preceding clear_bit_unlock(). However,
clear_bit_unlock() does not prevent that the wait lists are examined
before that the tag bit is cleared. Hence the addition of a memory
barrier between clear_bit() and the wait list examination.

This piece of code in bt_clear_tag() function is racy:
bs = bt_wake_ptr(bt);
if (bs && atomic_dec_and_test(&bs->wait_cnt)) {
atomic_set(&bs->wait_cnt, bt->wake_cnt);
wake_up(&bs->wait);
}
Since nothing prevents bt_wake_ptr() from returning the very
same 'bs' address on multiple CPUs, the following scenario is
possible:
CPU1 CPU2
---- ----
0. bs = bt_wake_ptr(bt); bs = bt_wake_ptr(bt);
1. atomic_dec_and_test(&bs->wait_cnt)
2. atomic_dec_and_test(&bs->wait_cnt)
3. atomic_set(&bs->wait_cnt, bt->wake_cnt);
If the decrement in [1] yields zero then for some amount of time
the decrement in [2] results in a negative/overflow value, which
is not expected. The follow-up assignment in [3] overwrites the
invalid value with the batch value (and likely prevents the issue
from being severe) which is still incorrect and should be a lesser.

This adds support for active queue tracking, meaning that the
blk-mq tagging maintains a count of active users of a tag set.
This allows us to maintain a notion of fairness between users,
so that we can distribute the tag depth evenly without starving
some users while allowing others to try unfair deep queues.
If sharing of a tag set is detected, each hardware queue will
track the depth of its own queue. And if this exceeds the total
depth divided by the number of active queues, the user is actively
throttled down.
The active queue count is done lazily to avoid bouncing that data
between submitter and completer. Each hardware queue gets marked
active when it allocates its first tag, and gets marked inactive
when 1) the last tag is cleared, and 2) the queue timeout grace
period has passed.

For best performance, spreading tags over multiple cachelines
makes the tagging more efficient on multicore systems. But since
we have 8 * sizeof(unsigned long) tags per cacheline, we don't
always get a nice spread.
Attempt to spread the tags over at least 4 cachelines, using fewer
number of bits per unsigned long if we have to. This improves
tagging performance in setups with 32-128 tags. For higher depths,
the spread is the same as before (BITS_PER_LONG tags per cacheline).

blk-mq currently uses percpu_ida for tag allocation. But that only
works well if the ratio between tag space and number of CPUs is
sufficiently high. For most devices and systems, that is not the
case. The end result if that we either only utilize the tag space
partially, or we end up attempting to fully exhaust it and run
into lots of lock contention with stealing between CPUs. This is
not optimal.
This new tagging scheme is a hybrid bitmap allocator. It uses
two tricks to both be SMP friendly and allow full exhaustion
of the space:
1) We cache the last allocated (or freed) tag on a per blk-mq
software context basis. This allows us to limit the space
we have to search. The key element here is not caching it
in the shared tag structure, otherwise we end up dirtying
more shared cache lines on each allocate/free operation.
2) The tag space is split into cache line sized groups, and
each context will start off randomly in that space. Even up
to full utilization of the space, this divides the tag users
efficiently into cache line groups, avoiding dirtying the same
one both between allocators and between allocator and freeer.
This scheme shows drastically better behaviour, both on small
tag spaces but on large ones as well. It has been tested extensively
to show better performance for all the cases blk-mq cares about.

blk_mq_wait_for_tags() is only able to wait for "normal" tags,
not reserved tags. Pass in which one we should attempt to get

Reserved tags are used for internal commands, which are usually
serialized. Hence no waiting generally takes place, but we should
ensure that it actually works if users need that functionality.

cppcheck detected following format string mismatch.
[blk-mq-tag.c:201]: (warning) %u in format string (no. 1) requires
'unsigned int' but the argument type is 'int'.
Change "cpu" from int to unsigned int, because the cpu
never become minus value.

This patch changes percpu_ida_alloc() + callers to accept task state
bitmask for prepare_to_wait() for code like target/iscsi that needs
it for interruptible sleep, that is provided in a subsequent patch.
It now expects TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE when the caller is able to sleep
waiting for a new tag, or TASK_RUNNING when the caller cannot sleep,
and is forced to return a negative value when no tags are available.
v2 changes:
- Include blk-mq + tcm_fc + vhost/scsi + target/iscsi changes
- Drop signal_pending_state() call
v3 changes:
- Only call prepare_to_wait() + finish_wait() when != TASK_RUNNING

Linux currently has two models for block devices:
- The classic request_fn based approach, where drivers use struct
request units for IO. The block layer provides various helper
functionalities to let drivers share code, things like tag
management, timeout handling, queueing, etc.
- The "stacked" approach, where a driver squeezes in between the
block layer and IO submitter. Since this bypasses the IO stack,
driver generally have to manage everything themselves.
With drivers being written for new high IOPS devices, the classic
request_fn based driver doesn't work well enough. The design dates
back to when both SMP and high IOPS was rare. It has problems with
scaling to bigger machines, and runs into scaling issues even on
smaller machines when you have IOPS in the hundreds of thousands
per device.
The stacked approach is then most often selected as the model
for the driver. But this means that everybody has to re-invent
everything, and along with that we get all the problems again
that the shared approach solved.
This commit introduces blk-mq, block multi queue support. The
design is centered around per-cpu queues for queueing IO, which
then funnel down into x number of hardware submission queues.
We might have a 1:1 mapping between the two, or it might be
an N:M mapping. That all depends on what the hardware supports.
blk-mq provides various helper functions, which include:
- Scalable support for request tagging. Most devices need to
be able to uniquely identify a request both in the driver and
to the hardware. The tagging uses per-cpu caches for freed
tags, to enable cache hot reuse.
- Timeout handling without tracking request on a per-device
basis. Basically the driver should be able to get a notification,
if a request happens to fail.
- Optional support for non 1:1 mappings between issue and
submission queues. blk-mq can redirect IO completions to the
desired location.
- Support for per-request payloads. Drivers almost always need
to associate a request structure with some driver private
command structure. Drivers can tell blk-mq this at init time,
and then any request handed to the driver will have the
required size of memory associated with it.
- Support for merging of IO, and plugging. The stacked model
gets neither of these. Even for high IOPS devices, merging
sequential IO reduces per-command overhead and thus
increases bandwidth.
For now, this is provided as a potential 3rd queueing model, with
the hope being that, as it matures, it can replace both the classic
and stacked model. That would get us back to having just 1 real
model for block devices, leaving the stacked approach to dm/md
devices (as it was originally intended).
