2017-06-01block: Avoid that blk_exit_rl() triggers a use-after-freeBart Van Assche1-1/+1
Since the introduction of .init_rq_fn() and .exit_rq_fn() it is essential that the memory allocated for struct request_queue stays around until all blk_exit_rl() calls have finished. Hence make blk_init_rl() take a reference on struct request_queue.

Occassional failures are expected under pressure and falling back to non-cgroup operation is the right thing to do.

2016-02-09block: fix module reference leak on put_disk() call for cgroups throttleRoman Pen1-0/+9
get_disk(),get_gendisk() calls have non explicit side effect: they increase the reference on the disk owner module. The following is the correct sequence how to get a disk reference and to put it: disk = get_gendisk(...); /* use disk */ owner = disk->fops->owner; put_disk(disk); module_put(owner); fs/block_dev.c is aware of this required module_put() call, but f.e. blkg_conf_finish(), which is located in block/blk-cgroup.c, does not put a module reference. To see a leakage in action cgroups throttle config can be used. In the following script I'm removing throttle for /dev/ram0 (actually this is NOP, because throttle was never set for this device): # lsmod | grep brd brd 5175 0 # i=100; while [ $i -gt 0 ]; do echo "1:0 0" > \ /sys/fs/cgroup/blkio/blkio.throttle.read_bps_device; i=$(($i - 1)); \ done # lsmod | grep brd brd 5175 100 Now brd module has 100 references. The issue is fixed by calling module_put() just right away put_disk().

2015-12-03cgroup: fix handling of multi-destination migration from subtree_control ↵Tejun Heo1-3/+3
enabling Consider the following v2 hierarchy. P0 (+memory) --- P1 (-memory) --- A \- B P0 has memory enabled in its subtree_control while P1 doesn't. If both A and B contain processes, they would belong to the memory css of P1. Now if memory is enabled on P1's subtree_control, memory csses should be created on both A and B and A's processes should be moved to the former and B's processes the latter. IOW, enabling controllers can cause atomic migrations into different csses. The core cgroup migration logic has been updated accordingly but the controller migration methods haven't and still assume that all tasks migrate to a single target css; furthermore, the methods were fed the css in which subtree_control was updated which is the parent of the target csses. pids controller depends on the migration methods to move charges and this made the controller attribute charges to the wrong csses often triggering the following warning by driving a counter negative.

All controllers are updated accordingly. * Controllers which don't care whether there are one or multiple target csses can be converted trivially. cpu, io, freezer, perf, netclassid and netprio fall in this category. * cpuset's current implementation assumes that there's single source and destination and thus doesn't support v2 hierarchy already. The only change made by this patchset is how that single destination css is obtained. * memory migration path already doesn't do anything on v2. How the single destination css is obtained is updated and the prep stage of mem_cgroup_can_attach() is reordered to accomodate the change. * pids is the only controller which was affected by this bug. It now correctly handles multi-destination migrations and no longer causes counter underflow from incorrect accounting.

2015-10-22blkcg: don't create "io.stat" on the root cgroupTejun Heo1-0/+1
The stat files on the root cgroup shows stats for the whole system and usually don't contain any information which isn't available through the usual system monitoring mechanisms. Some controllers skip collecting these duplicate stats to optimize cases where cgroup isn't used and later try to emulate the result on demand. This leads to complexities and subtle differences in the information shown through different channels. This is entirely unnecessary and cgroup v2 is dropping stat files which are duplicate from all controllers. This patch removes "io.stat" from the root hierarchy.

2015-08-18blkcg: use CGROUP_WEIGHT_* scale for io.weight on the unified hierarchyTejun Heo1-0/+21
cgroup is trying to make interface consistent across different controllers. For weight based resource control, the knob should have the range [1, 10000] and default to 100. This patch updates cfq-iosched so that the weight range conforms. The internal calculations have enough range and the widening of the weight range shouldn't cause any problem. * blkcg_policy->cpd_bind_fn() is added. If present, this is invoked when blkcg is attached to a hierarchy. * cfq_cpd_init() is updated to use the new default value on the unified hierarchy. * cfq_cpd_bind() callback is implemented to clear per-blkg configs and apply the default config matching the hierarchy type. * cfqd->root_group->[leaf_]weight initialization in cfq_init_queue() is moved into !CONFIG_CFQ_GROUP_IOSCHED block. cfq_cpd_bind() is now responsible for initializing the initial weights when blkcg is enabled.

2015-08-18blkcg: implement interface for the unified hierarchyTejun Heo1-0/+53
blkcg interface grew to be the biggest of all controllers and unfortunately most inconsistent too. The interface files are inconsistent with a number of cloes duplicates. Some files have recursive variants while others don't. There's distinction between normal and leaf weights which isn't intuitive and there are a lot of stat knobs which don't make much sense outside of debugging and expose too much implementation details to userland. In the unified hierarchy, everything is always hierarchical and internal nodes can't have tasks rendering the two structural issues twisting the current interface. The interface has to be updated in a significant anyway and this is a good chance to revamp it as a whole. This patch implements blkcg interface for the unified hierarchy. * (from a previous patch) blkcg is identified by "io" instead of "blkio" on the unified hierarchy. Given that the whole interface is updated anyway, the rename shouldn't carry noticeable conversion overhead. * The original interface consisted of 27 files is replaced with the following three files. blkio.stat : per-blkcg stats blkio.weight : per-cgroup and per-cgroup-queue weight settings blkio.max : per-cgroup-queue bps and iops max limits Documentation/cgroups/unified-hierarchy.txt updated accordingly. v2: blkcg_policy->dfl_cftypes wasn't removed on blkcg_policy_unregister() corrupting the cftypes list.

2015-08-18blkcg: move body parsing from blkg_conf_prep() to its callersTejun Heo1-8/+14
Currently, blkg_conf_prep() expects input to be of the following form MAJ:MIN NUM and reads the NUM part into blkg_conf_ctx->v. This is quite restrictive and gets in the way in implementing blkcg interface for the unified hierarchy. This patch updates blkg_conf_prep() so that it expects MAJ:MIN BODY_STR where BODY_STR is an arbitrary string. blkg_conf_ctx->v is replaced with ->body which is a char pointer pointing to the start of BODY_STR. Parsing of the body is moved to blkg_conf_prep()'s callers. To allow using, for example, strsep() on blkg_conf_ctx->val, it is a non-const pointer and to accommodate that const is dropped from @input too. This doesn't cause any behavior changes.

2015-08-18blkcg: rename subsystem name from blkio to ioTejun Heo1-3/+4
blkio interface has become messy over time and is currently the largest. In addition to the inconsistent naming scheme, it has multiple stat files which report more or less the same thing, a number of debug stat files which expose internal details which shouldn't have been part of the public interface in the first place, recursive and non-recursive stats and leaf and non-leaf knobs. Both recursive vs. non-recursive and leaf vs. non-leaf distinctions don't make any sense on the unified hierarchy as only leaf cgroups can contain processes. cgroups is going through a major interface revision with the unified hierarchy involving significant fundamental usage changes and given that a significant portion of the interface doesn't make sense anymore, it's a good time to reorganize the interface. As the first step, this patch renames the external visible subsystem name from "blkio" to "io". This is more concise, matches the other two major subsystem names, "cpu" and "memory", and better suited as blkcg will be involved in anything writeback related too whether an actual block device is involved or not. As the subsystem legacy_name is set to "blkio", the only userland visible change outside the unified hierarchy is that blkcg is reported as "io" instead of "blkio" in the subsystem initialized message during boot. On the unified hierarchy, blkcg now appears as "io".

2015-08-18blkcg: move io_service_bytes and io_serviced stats into blkcg_gqTejun Heo1-0/+98
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.

2015-08-18blkcg: add blkg_[rw]stat->aux_cnt and replace cfq_group->dead_stats with itTejun Heo1-4/+6
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.

2015-08-18blkcg: consolidate blkg creation in blkcg_bio_issue_check()Tejun Heo1-1/+1
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.

Each active policy has a cpd (blkcg_policy_data) on each blkcg.

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.

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.

2015-08-18blkcg: restructure blkg_policy_data allocation in blkcg_activate_policy()Tejun Heo1-34/+21
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. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@fb.com>

2015-07-09blkcg: fix blkcg_policy_data allocation bugTejun Heo1-36/+42
e48453c386f3 ("block, cgroup: implement policy-specific per-blkcg data") updated per-blkcg policy data to be dynamically allocated. When a policy is registered, its policy data aren't created. Instead, when the policy is activated on a queue, the policy data are allocated if there are blkg's (blkcg_gq's) which are attached to a given blkcg. This is buggy. Consider the following scenario. 1. A blkcg is created. No blkg's attached yet. 2. The policy is registered. No policy data is allocated. 3. The policy is activated on a queue. As the above blkcg doesn't have any blkg's, it won't allocate the matching blkcg_policy_data. 4. An IO is issued from the blkcg and blkg is created and the blkcg still doesn't have the matching policy data allocated. With cfq-iosched, this leads to an oops. It also doesn't free policy data on policy unregistration assuming that freeing of all policy data on blkcg destruction should take care of it; however, this also is incorrect. 1. A blkcg has policy data. 2. The policy gets unregistered but the policy data remains. 3. Another policy gets registered on the same slot. 4. Later, the new policy tries to allocate policy data on the previous blkcg but the slot is already occupied and gets skipped. The policy ends up operating on the policy data of the previous policy. There's no reason to manage blkcg_policy_data lazily. The reason we do lazy allocation of blkg's is that the number of all possible blkg's is the product of cgroups and block devices which can reach a surprising level. blkcg_policy_data is contrained by the number of cgroups and shouldn't be a problem. This patch makes blkcg_policy_data to be allocated for all existing blkcg's on policy registration and freed on unregistration and removes blkcg_policy_data handling from policy [de]activation paths. This makes that blkcg_policy_data are created and removed with the policy they belong to and fixes the above described problems.

2015-07-09blkcg: allow blkcg_pol_mutex to be grabbed from cgroup [file] methodsTejun Heo1-19/+21
blkcg_pol_mutex primarily protects the blkcg_policy array. It also protects cgroup file type [un]registration during policy addition / removal. This puts blkcg_pol_mutex outside cgroup internal synchronization and in turn makes it impossible to grab from blkcg's cgroup methods as that leads to cyclic dependency. Another problematic dependency arising from this is through cgroup interface file deactivation. Removing a cftype requires removing all files of the type which in turn involves draining all on-going invocations of the file methods. This means that an interface file implementation can't grab blkcg_pol_mutex as draining can lead to AA deadlock. blkcg_reset_stats() is already in this situation. It currently trylocks blkcg_pol_mutex and then unwinds and retries the whole operation on failure, which is cumbersome at best. It has a lengthy comment explaining how cgroup internal synchronization is involved and expected to be updated but as explained above this doesn't need cgroup internal locking to deadlock. It's a self-contained AA deadlock. The described circular dependencies can be easily broken by moving cftype [un]registration out of blkcg_pol_mutex and protect them with an outer mutex. This patch introduces blkcg_pol_register_mutex which wraps entire policy [un]registration including cftype operations and shrinks blkcg_pol_mutex critical section. This also makes the trylock dancing in blkcg_reset_stats() unnecessary. Removed. This patch is necessary for the following blkcg_policy_data allocation bug fixes.
