linux-stable.git/block/blk-core.c, branch linux-3.17.y Linux kernel stable tree scsi-mq: fix requests that use a separate CDB buffer 2014-08-22T20:04:31+00:00 Tony Battersby tonyb@cybernetics.com 2014-08-22T19:53:39+00:00 6f4a16266fb3e58cd3e200eab51d2220ef92d604 This patch fixes code such as the following with scsi-mq enabled: rq = blk_get_request(...); blk_rq_set_block_pc(rq); rq->cmd = my_cmd_buffer; /* separate CDB buffer */ blk_execute_rq_nowait(...); Code like this appears in e.g. sg_start_req() in drivers/scsi/sg.c (for large CDBs only). Without this patch, scsi_mq_prep_fn() will set rq->cmd back to rq->__cmd, causing the wrong CDB to be sent to the device.

This patch fixes code such as the following with scsi-mq enabled:

    rq = blk_get_request(...);
    blk_rq_set_block_pc(rq);

    rq->cmd = my_cmd_buffer; /* separate CDB buffer */

    blk_execute_rq_nowait(...);

Code like this appears in e.g. sg_start_req() in drivers/scsi/sg.c (for
large CDBs only).  Without this patch, scsi_mq_prep_fn() will set
rq->cmd back to rq->__cmd, causing the wrong CDB to be sent to the device.

blk-mq: decouble blk-mq freezing from generic bypassing 2014-07-01T16:31:13+00:00 Tejun Heo tj@kernel.org 2014-07-01T16:31:13+00:00 780db2071ac4d167ee4154ad9c96088f1bba044b blk_mq freezing is entangled with generic bypassing which bypasses blkcg and io scheduler and lets IO requests fall through the block layer to the drivers in FIFO order. This allows forward progress on IOs with the advanced features disabled so that those features can be configured or altered without worrying about stalling IO which may lead to deadlock through memory allocation. However, generic bypassing doesn't quite fit blk-mq. blk-mq currently doesn't make use of blkcg or ioscheds and it maps bypssing to freezing, which blocks request processing and drains all the in-flight ones. This causes problems as bypassing assumes that request processing is online. blk-mq works around this by conditionally allowing request processing for the problem case - during queue initialization. Another weirdity is that except for during queue cleanup, bypassing started on the generic side prevents blk-mq from processing new requests but doesn't drain the in-flight ones. This shouldn't break anything but again highlights that something isn't quite right here. The root cause is conflating blk-mq freezing and generic bypassing which are two different mechanisms. The only intersecting purpose that they serve is during queue cleanup. Let's properly separate blk-mq freezing from generic bypassing and simply use it where necessary. * request_queue->mq_freeze_depth is added and blk_mq_[un]freeze_queue() now operate on this counter instead of ->bypass_depth. The replacement for QUEUE_FLAG_BYPASS isn't added but the counter is tested directly. This will be further updated by later changes. * blk_mq_drain_queue() is dropped and "__" prefix is dropped from blk_mq_freeze_queue(). Queue cleanup path now calls blk_mq_freeze_queue() directly. * blk_queue_enter()'s fast path condition is simplified to simply check @q->mq_freeze_depth. Previously, the condition was !blk_queue_dying(q) && (!blk_queue_bypass(q) || !blk_queue_init_done(q)) mq_freeze_depth is incremented right after dying is set and blk_queue_init_done() exception isn't necessary as blk-mq doesn't start frozen, which only leaves the blk_queue_bypass() test which can be replaced by @q->mq_freeze_depth test. This change simplifies the code and reduces confusion in the area. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Cc: Jens Axboe <axboe@kernel.dk> Cc: Nicholas A.

blk_mq freezing is entangled with generic bypassing which bypasses
blkcg and io scheduler and lets IO requests fall through the block
layer to the drivers in FIFO order.  This allows forward progress on
IOs with the advanced features disabled so that those features can be
configured or altered without worrying about stalling IO which may
lead to deadlock through memory allocation.

However, generic bypassing doesn't quite fit blk-mq.  blk-mq currently
doesn't make use of blkcg or ioscheds and it maps bypssing to
freezing, which blocks request processing and drains all the in-flight
ones.  This causes problems as bypassing assumes that request
processing is online.  blk-mq works around this by conditionally
allowing request processing for the problem case - during queue
initialization.

Another weirdity is that except for during queue cleanup, bypassing
started on the generic side prevents blk-mq from processing new
requests but doesn't drain the in-flight ones.  This shouldn't break
anything but again highlights that something isn't quite right here.

The root cause is conflating blk-mq freezing and generic bypassing
which are two different mechanisms.  The only intersecting purpose
that they serve is during queue cleanup.  Let's properly separate
blk-mq freezing from generic bypassing and simply use it where
necessary.

* request_queue->mq_freeze_depth is added and
  blk_mq_[un]freeze_queue() now operate on this counter instead of
  ->bypass_depth.  The replacement for QUEUE_FLAG_BYPASS isn't added
  but the counter is tested directly.  This will be further updated by
  later changes.

* blk_mq_drain_queue() is dropped and "__" prefix is dropped from
  blk_mq_freeze_queue().  Queue cleanup path now calls
  blk_mq_freeze_queue() directly.

* blk_queue_enter()'s fast path condition is simplified to simply
  check @q->mq_freeze_depth.  Previously, the condition was

	!blk_queue_dying(q) &&
	    (!blk_queue_bypass(q) || !blk_queue_init_done(q))

  mq_freeze_depth is incremented right after dying is set and
  blk_queue_init_done() exception isn't necessary as blk-mq doesn't
  start frozen, which only leaves the blk_queue_bypass() test which
  can be replaced by @q->mq_freeze_depth test.

This change simplifies the code and reduces confusion in the area.

block, blk-mq: draining can't be skipped even if bypass_depth was non-zero 2014-07-01T16:29:17+00:00 Tejun Heo tj@kernel.org 2014-07-01T16:29:17+00:00 776687bce42bb22cce48b5da950e48ebbb9a948f Currently, both blk_queue_bypass_start() and blk_mq_freeze_queue() skip queue draining if bypass_depth was already above zero. The assumption is that the one which bumped the bypass_depth should have performed draining already; however, there's nothing which prevents a new instance of bypassing/freezing from starting before the previous one finishes draining. The current code may allow the later bypassing/freezing instances to complete while there still are in-flight requests which haven't finished draining. Fix it by draining regardless of bypass_depth. We still skip draining from blk_queue_bypass_start() while the queue is initializing to avoid introducing excessive delays during boot. INIT_DONE setting is moved above the initial blk_queue_bypass_end() so that bypassing attempts can't slip inbetween.
