block: use nanosecond resolution for iostat

2018-09-22T02:26:59+00:00

Klaus Kusche reported that the I/O busy time in /proc/diskstats was not
updating properly on 4.18. This is because we started using ktime to
track elapsed time, and we convert nanoseconds to jiffies when we update
the partition counter. However, this gets rounded down, so any I/Os that
take less than a jiffy are not accounted for. Previously in this case,
the value of jiffies would sometimes increment while we were doing I/O,
so at least some I/Os were accounted for.

Let's convert the stats to use nanoseconds internally. We still report
milliseconds as before, now more accurately than ever. The value is
still truncated to 32 bits for backwards compatibility.

blkcg: use tryget logic when associating a blkg with a bio

2018-08-31T20:48:58+00:00

There is a very small change a bio gets caught up in a really
unfortunate race between a task migration, cgroup exiting, and itself
trying to associate with a blkg. This is due to css offlining being
performed after the css->refcnt is killed which triggers removal of
blkgs that reach their blkg->refcnt of 0.

To avoid this, association with a blkg should use tryget and fallback to
using the root_blkg.

block: bvec_nr_vecs() returns value for wrong slab

2018-08-09T14:25:04+00:00

In commit ed996a52c868 ("block: simplify and cleanup bvec pool
handling"), the value of the slab index is incremented by one in
bvec_alloc() after the allocation is done to indicate an index value of
0 does not need to be later freed.

bvec_nr_vecs() was not updated accordingly, and thus returns the wrong
value.  Decrement idx before performing the lookup.

2018-07-27T15:10:34+00:00

After the bio has been updated to represent the remaining sectors, reset
bi_done so bio_rewind_iter() does not rewind further than it should.

This resolves a bio_integrity_process() failure on reads where the
original request was split.

block: bio_iov_iter_get_pages: pin more pages for multi-segment IOs

2018-07-26T17:52:36+00:00

bio_iov_iter_get_pages() currently only adds pages for the next non-zero
segment from the iov_iter to the bio. That's suboptimal for callers,
which typically try to pin as many pages as fit into the bio. This patch
converts the current bio_iov_iter_get_pages() into a static helper, and
introduces a new helper that allocates as many pages as

 1) fit into the bio,
 2) are present in the iov_iter,
 3) and can be pinned by MM.

Error is returned only if zero pages could be pinned. Because of 3), a
zero return value doesn't necessarily mean all pages have been pinned.
Callers that have to pin every page in the iov_iter must still call this
function in a loop (this is currently the case).

This change matters most for __blkdev_direct_IO_simple(), which calls
bio_iov_iter_get_pages() only once. If it obtains less pages than
requested, it returns a "short write" or "short read", and
__generic_file_write_iter() falls back to buffered writes, which may
lead to data corruption.

block: bio_iov_iter_get_pages: fix size of last iovec

2018-07-26T17:52:29+00:00

If the last page of the bio is not "full", the length of the last
vector slot needs to be corrected. This slot has the index
(bio->bi_vcnt - 1), but only in bio->bi_io_vec. In the "bv" helper
array, which is shifted by the value of bio->bi_vcnt at function
invocation, the correct index is (nr_pages - 1).

v2: improved readability following suggestions from Ming Lei.
v3: followed a formatting suggestion from Christoph Hellwig.
