      blkcg: move io_service_bytes and io_serviced stats into blkcg_gq · 77ea7338
      Tejun Heo authored
      
      
      Currently, both cfq-iosched and blk-throttle keep track of
      io_service_bytes and io_serviced stats.  While keeping track of them
      separately may be useful during development, it doesn't make much
      sense otherwise.  Also, blk-throttle was counting bio's as IOs while
      cfq-iosched request's, which is more confusing than informative.
      
      This patch adds ->stat_bytes and ->stat_ios to blkg (blkcg_gq),
      removes the counterparts from cfq-iosched and blk-throttle and let
      them print from the common blkg counters.  The common counters are
      incremented during bio issue in blkcg_bio_issue_check().
      
      The outputs are still filtered by whether the policy has
      blkg_policy_data on a given blkg, so cfq's output won't show up if it
      has never been used for a given blkg.  The only times when the outputs
      would differ significantly are when policies are attached on the fly
      or elevators are switched back and forth.  Those are quite exceptional
      operations and I don't think they warrant keeping separate counters.
      
      v3: Update blkio-controller.txt accordingly.
      
      v2: Account IOs during bio issues instead of request completions so
          that bio-based drivers can be handled the same way.

      blkcg: make blkg_[rw]stat_recursive_sum() to be able to index into blkcg_gq · f12c74ca
      Tejun Heo authored
      
      
      Currently, blkg_[rw]stat_recursive_sum() assume that the target
      counter is located in pd (blkg_policy_data); however, some counters
      are planned to be moved to blkg (blkcg_gq).
      
      This patch updates blkg_[rw]stat_recursive_sum() to take blkg and
      blkg_policy pointers instead of pd.  If policy is NULL, it indexes
      into blkg.  If non-NULL, into the blkg's pd of the policy.
      
      The existing usages are updated to maintain the current behaviors.

      blkcg: make blkcg_[rw]stat per-cpu · 24bdb8ef
      Tejun Heo authored
      
      
      blkcg_[rw]stat are used as stat counters for blkcg policies.  It isn't
      per-cpu by itself and blk-throttle makes it per-cpu by wrapping around
      it.  This patch makes blkcg_[rw]stat per-cpu and drop the ad-hoc
      per-cpu wrapping in blk-throttle.
      
      * blkg_[rw]stat->cnt is replaced with cpu_cnt which is struct
        percpu_counter.  This makes syncp unnecessary as remote accesses are
        handled by percpu_counter itself.
      
      * blkg_[rw]stat_init() can now fail due to percpu allocation failure
        and thus are updated to return int.
      
      * percpu_counters need explicit freeing.  blkg_[rw]stat_exit() added.
      
      * As blkg_rwstat->cpu_cnt[] can't be read directly anymore, reading
        and summing results are stored in ->aux_cnt[] instead.
      
      * Custom per-cpu stat implementation in blk-throttle is removed.
      
      This makes all blkcg stat counters per-cpu without complicating policy
      implmentations.

      blkcg: add blkg_[rw]stat->aux_cnt and replace cfq_group->dead_stats with it · e6269c44
      Tejun Heo authored
      
      
      cgroup stats are local to each cgroup and doesn't propagate to
      ancestors by default.  When recursive stats are necessary, the sum is
      calculated over all the descendants.  This initially was for backward
      compatibility to support both group-local and recursive stats but this
      mode of operation makes general sense as stat update is much hotter
      thafn reporting those stats.
      
      This however ends up losing recursive stats when a child is removed.
      To work around this, cfq-iosched adds its stats to its parent
      cfq_group->dead_stats which is summed up together when calculating
      recursive stats.
      
      It's planned that the core stats will be moved to blkcg_gq, so we want
      to move the mechanism for keeping track of the stats of dead children
      from cfq to blkcg core.  This patch adds blkg_[rw]stat->aux_cnt which
      are atomic64_t's keeping track of auxiliary counts which are excluded
      when reading local counts but included for recursive.
      
      blkg_[rw]stat_merge() which were used by cfq to implement dead_stats
      are replaced by blkg_[rw]stat_add_aux(), and cfq now forwards stats of
      a dead cgroup to the aux counts of parent->stats instead of separate
      ->dead_stats.
      
      This will also help making blkg_[rw]stats per-cpu.

      blkcg: consolidate blkg creation in blkcg_bio_issue_check() · ae118896
      Tejun Heo authored
      
      
      blkg (blkcg_gq) currently is created by blkcg policies invoking
      blkg_lookup_create() which ends up repeating about the same code in
      different policies.  Theoretically, this can avoid the overhead of
      looking and/or creating blkg's if blkcg is enabled but no policy is in
      use; however, the cost of blkg lookup / creation is very low
      especially if only the root blkcg is in use which is highly likely if
      no blkcg policy is in active use - it boils down to a single very
      predictable conditional and surrounding RCU protection.
      
      This patch consolidates blkg creation to a new function
      blkcg_bio_issue_check() which is called during bio issue from
      generic_make_request_checks().  blkcg_bio_issue_check() is now the
      only function which tries to create missing blkg's.  The subsequent
      policy and request_list operations just perform blkg_lookup() and if
      missing falls back to the root.
      
      * blk_get_rl() no longer tries to create blkg.  It uses blkg_lookup()
        instead of blkg_lookup_create().
      
      * blk_throtl_bio() is now called from blkcg_bio_issue_check() with rcu
        read locked and blkg already looked up.  Both throtl_lookup_tg() and
        throtl_lookup_create_tg() are dropped.
      
      * cfq is similarly updated.  cfq_lookup_create_cfqg() is replaced with
        cfq_lookup_cfqg()which uses blkg_lookup().
      
      This consolidates blkg handling and avoids unnecessary blkg creation
      retries under memory pressure.  In addition, this provides a common
      bio entry point into blkcg where things like common accounting can be
      performed.
      
      v2: Build fixes for !CONFIG_CFQ_GROUP_IOSCHED and
          !CONFIG_BLK_DEV_THROTTLING.

      blk-throttle: improve queue bypass handling · c9589f03
      Tejun Heo authored
      
      
      If a queue is bypassing, all blkcg policies should become noops but
      blk-throttle wasn't.  It only became noop if the queue was dying.
      While this wouldn't lead to an oops as falling back to the root blkg
      is safe in this case, this can be a bit surprising - a bypassing queue
      could still be applying throttle limits.
      
      Fix it by removing blk_queue_dying() test in throtl_lookup_create_tg()
      and testing blk_queue_bypass() in blk_throtl_bio() and bypassing
      before doing anything else.

      Tejun Heo authored
      
      
      blkg_lookup() checks whether the target queue is bypassing and, if
      not, calls __blkg_lookup() which first checks the lookup hint and then
      performs radix tree walk.  The operations upto hint checking are
      trivial and there are many users of this function.  This patch inlines
      blkg_lookup() and the fast path part of __blkg_lookup().  The radix
      tree lookup and hint update are now in blkg_lookup_slowpath().
      
      This will help consolidating blkg handling by easing moving root blkcg

      Tejun Heo authored
      
      
      Each active policy has a cpd (blkcg_policy_data) on each blkcg.  The
      cpd's were allocated by blkcg core and each policy could request to
      allocate extra space at the end by setting blkcg_policy->cpd_size
      larger than the size of cpd.
      
      This is a bit unusual but blkg (blkcg_gq) policy data used to be
      handled this way too so it made sense to be consistent; however, blkg
      policy data switched to alloc/free callbacks.
      
      This patch makes similar changes to cpd handling.
      blkcg_policy->cpd_alloc/free_fn() are added to replace ->cpd_size.  As
      cpd allocation is now done from policy side, it can simply allocate a
      larger area which embeds cpd at the beginning.
      
      As ->cpd_alloc_fn() may be able to perform all necessary
      initializations, this patch makes ->cpd_init_fn() optional.

      The newly added ->pd_alloc_fn() and ->pd_free_fn() deal with pd

      blkg doesn't make sense for ->pd_alloc_fn() and after allocation pd
      can always be mapped to blkg and given that these are policy-specific
      methods, it makes sense to converge on pd.
      
      This patch makes all methods deal with pd instead of blkg.  Most
      conversions are trivial.  In blk-cgroup.c, a couple method invocation

      consistency.  This shouldn't cause any behavioral differences.

      blk-throttle: remove asynchrnous percpu stats allocation mechanism · 4fb72036
      Tejun Heo authored
      
      
      Because percpu allocator couldn't do non-blocking allocations,
      blk-throttle was forced to implement an ad-hoc asynchronous allocation
      mechanism for its percpu stats for cases where blkg's (blkcg_gq's) are
      allocated from an IO path without sleepable context.
      
      Now that percpu allocator can handle gfp_mask and blkg_policy_data
      alloc / free are handled by policy methods, the ad-hoc asynchronous
      allocation mechanism can be replaced with direct allocation from
      tg_stats_alloc_fn().  Rit it out.
      
      This ensures that an active throtl_grp always has valid non-NULL

      Tejun Heo authored
      
      
      A blkg (blkcg_gq) represents the relationship between a cgroup and
      request_queue.  Each active policy has a pd (blkg_policy_data) on each
      blkg.  The pd's were allocated by blkcg core and each policy could
      request to allocate extra space at the end by setting
      blkcg_policy->pd_size larger than the size of pd.
      
      This is a bit unusual but was done this way mostly to simplify error
      handling and all the existing use cases could be handled this way;
      however, this is becoming too restrictive now that percpu memory can
      be allocated without blocking.
      
      This introduces two new mandatory blkcg_policy methods - pd_alloc_fn()
      and pd_free_fn() - which are used to allocate and release pd for a
      given policy.  As pd allocation is now done from policy side, it can
      simply allocate a larger area which embeds pd at the beginning.  This
      change makes ->pd_size pointless.  Removed.

      Tejun Heo authored
      
      
      When a policy gets activated, it needs to allocate and install its
      policy data on all existing blkg's (blkcg_gq's).  Because blkg
      iteration is protected by a spinlock, it currently counts the total
      number of blkg's in the system, allocates the matching number of
      policy data on a list and installs them during a single iteration.
      
      This can be simplified by using speculative GFP_NOWAIT allocations
      while iterating and falling back to a preallocated policy data on
      failure.  If the preallocated one has already been consumed, it
      releases the lock, preallocate with GFP_KERNEL and then restarts the
      iteration.  This can be a bit more expensive than before but policy
      activation is a very cold path and shouldn't matter.

      cfq-iosched: charge async IOs to the appropriate blkcg's instead of the root · 60a83707
      Tejun Heo authored
      
      
      Up until now, all async IOs were queued to async queues which are
      shared across the whole request_queue, which means that blkcg resource
      control is completely void on async IOs including all writeback IOs.
      It was done this way because writeback didn't support writeback and
      there was no way of telling which writeback IO belonged to which
      cgroup; however, writeback recently became cgroup aware and writeback
      bio's are sent down properly tagged with the blkcg's to charge them
      against.
      
      This patch makes async cfq_queues per-cfq_cgroup instead of
      per-cfq_data so that each async IO is charged to the blkcg that it was
      tagged for instead of unconditionally attributing it to root.
      
      * cfq_data->async_cfqq and ->async_idle_cfqq are moved to cfq_group
        and alloc / destroy paths are updated accordingly.
      
      * cfq_link_cfqq_cfqg() no longer overrides @cfqg to root for async
        queues.
      
      * check_blkcg_changed() now also invalidates async queues as they no
        longer stay the same across cgroups.
      
      After this patch, cfq's proportional IO control through blkio.weight
      works correctly when cgroup writeback is in use.

      cfq-iosched: fold cfq_find_alloc_queue() into cfq_get_queue() · d4aad7ff
      Tejun Heo authored
      
      
      cfq_find_alloc_queue() checks whether a queue actually needs to be
      allocated, which is unnecessary as its sole caller, cfq_get_queue(),
      only calls it if so.  Also, the oom queue fallback logic is scattered
      between cfq_get_queue() and cfq_find_alloc_queue().  There really
      isn't much going on in the latter and things can be made simpler by
      folding it into cfq_get_queue().
      
      This patch collapses cfq_find_alloc_queue() into cfq_get_queue().  The
      change is fairly straight-forward with one exception - async_cfqq is
      now initialized to NULL and the "!is_sync" test in the last if
      conditional is replaced with "async_cfqq" test.  This is because gcc
      (5.1.1) gets confused for some reason and warns that async_cfqq may be
      used uninitialized otherwise.  Oh well, the code isn't necessarily
      worse this way.
      
      This patch doesn't cause any functional difference.

      cfq-iosched: move cfq_group determination from cfq_find_alloc_queue() to cfq_get_queue() · 322731ed

      This is necessary for making async cfq_cgroups per-cfq_group instead
      of per-cfq_data.  While this change makes cfq_get_queue() perform RCU
      locking and look up cfq_group even when it reuses async queue, the
      extra overhead is extremely unlikely to be noticeable given that this
      is already sitting behind cic->cfqq[] cache and the overall cost of
      cfq operation.

      cfq-iosched: remove @gfp_mask from cfq_find_alloc_queue() · 2da8de0b
      Tejun Heo authored
      
      
      Even when allocations fail, cfq_find_alloc_queue() always returns a
      valid cfq_queue by falling back to the oom cfq_queue.  As such, there
      isn't much point in taking @gfp_mask and trying "harder" if __GFP_WAIT
      is set.  GFP_NOWAIT allocations don't fail often and even when they do
      the degraded behavior is acceptable and temporary.
      
      After all, the only reason get_request(), which ultimately determines
      the gfp_mask, cares about __GFP_WAIT is to guarantee request
      allocation, assuming IO forward progress, for callers which are
      willing to wait.  There's no reason for cfq_find_alloc_queue() to
      behave differently on __GFP_WAIT when it already has a fallback
      mechanism.
      
      Remove @gfp_mask from cfq_find_alloc_queue() and propagate the changes
      to its callers.  This simplifies the function quite a bit and will
      help making async queues per-cfq_group.

      blkcg, cfq-iosched: use GFP_NOWAIT instead of GFP_ATOMIC for non-critical allocations · d93a11f1
      Tejun Heo authored
      
      
      blkcg performs several allocations to track IOs per cgroup and enforce
      resource control.  Most of these allocations are performed lazily on
      demand in the IO path and thus can't involve reclaim path.  Currently,
      these allocations use GFP_ATOMIC; however, blkcg can gracefully deal
      with occassional failures of these allocations by punting IOs to the
      root cgroup and there's no reason to reach into the emergency reserve.
      
      This patch replaces GFP_ATOMIC with GFP_NOWAIT for the following
      allocations.
      
      * bdi_writeback_congested and blkcg_gq allocations in blkg_create().
      
      * radix tree node allocations for blkcg->blkg_tree.

      cfq-iosched: fix oom cfq_queue ref leak in cfq_set_request() · bce6133b
      Tejun Heo authored
      
      
      If the cfq_queue cached in cfq_io_cq is the oom one, cfq_set_request()
      replaces it by invoking cfq_get_queue() again without putting the oom
      queue leaking the reference it was holding.  While oom queues are not
      released through reference counting, they're still reference counted
      and this can theoretically lead to the reference count overflowing and
      incorrectly invoke the usual release path on it.
      
      Fix it by making cfq_set_request() put the ref it was holding.

      cfq-iosched: fix async oom queue handling · 95e5d6f6
      Tejun Heo authored
      
      
      Async cfqq's (cfq_queue's) are shared across cfq_data.  When
      cfq_get_queue() obtains a new queue from cfq_find_alloc_queue(), it
      stashes the pointer in cfq_data and reuses it from then on; however,
      the function doesn't consider that cfq_find_alloc_queue() may return
      the oom_cfqq under memory pressure and installs the returned queue
      unconditionally.
      
      If the oom_cfqq is installed as an async cfqq, cfq_set_request() will
      continue calling cfq_get_queue() hoping to replace it with a proper
      queue; however, cfq_get_queue() will keep returning the cached queue
      for the slot - the oom_cfqq.
      
      Fix it by skipping caching if the queue is the oom one.

      writeback: bdi_for_each_wb() iteration is memcg ID based not blkcg · 1ed8d48c
      Tejun Heo authored
      
      
      wb's (bdi_writeback's) are currently keyed by memcg ID; however, in an
      earlier implementation, wb's were keyed by blkcg ID.
      bdi_for_each_wb() walks bdi->cgwb_tree in the ascending ID order and
      allows iterations to start from an arbitrary ID which is used to
      interrupt and resume iterations.
      
      Unfortunately, while changing wb to be keyed by memcg ID instead of
      blkcg, bdi_for_each_wb() was missed and is still assuming that wb's
      are keyed by blkcg ID.  This doesn't affect iterations which don't get
      interrupted but bdi_split_work_to_wbs() makes use of iteration
      resuming on allocation failures and thus may incorrectly skip or
      repeat wb's.
      
      Fix it by changing bdi_for_each_wb() to take memcg IDs instead of
      blkcg IDs and updating bdi_split_work_to_wbs() accordingly.

      cgroup: define controller file conventions · 6abc8ca1
      Tejun Heo authored
      
      
      Traditionally, each cgroup controller implemented whatever interface
      it wanted leading to interfaces which are widely inconsistent.
      Examining the requirements of the controllers readily yield that there
      are only a few control schemes shared among all.
      
      Two major controllers already had to implement new interface for the
      unified hierarchy due to significant structural changes.  Let's take
      the chance to establish common conventions throughout all controllers.
      
      This patch defines CGROUP_WEIGHT_MIN/DFL/MAX to be used on all weight
      based control knobs and documents the conventions that controllers
      should follow on the unified hierarchy.  Except for io.weight knob,
      all existing unified hierarchy knobs are already compliant.  A
      follow-up patch will update io.weight.
