commit 6e66b49392419f3fe134e1be583323ef75da1e4b upstream.

blk_mq_map_queues() and multiple .map_queues() implementations expect that
set-&gt;map[HCTX_TYPE_DEFAULT].nr_queues is set to the number of hardware
queues. Hence set .nr_queues before calling these functions. This patch
fixes the following kernel warning:

<title>block, bfq: fix overwrite of bfq_group pointer in bfq_find_set_group()</title>

[ Upstream commit 14afc59361976c0ba39e3a9589c3eaa43ebc7e1d ]

The bfq_find_set_group() function takes as input a blkcg (which represents
a cgroup) and retrieves the corresponding bfq_group, then it updates the
bfq internal group hierarchy (see comments inside the function for why
this is needed) and finally it returns the bfq_group.
In the hierarchy update cycle, the pointer holding the correct bfq_group
that has to be returned is mistakenly used to traverse the hierarchy
bottom to top, meaning that in each iteration it gets overwritten with the
parent of the current group. Since the update cycle stops at root's
children (depth = 2), the overwrite becomes a problem only if the blkcg
describes a cgroup at a hierarchy level deeper than that (depth &gt; 2). In
this case the root's child that happens to be also an ancestor of the
correct bfq_group is returned. The main consequence is that processes
contained in a cgroup at depth greater than 2 are wrongly placed in the
group described above by BFQ.

This commits fixes this problem by using a different bfq_group pointer in
the update cycle in order to avoid the overwrite of the variable holding
the original group reference.

<title>blk-mq: insert flush request to the front of dispatch queue</title>

[ Upstream commit cc3200eac4c5eb11c3f34848a014d1f286316310 ]

commit 01e99aeca397 ("blk-mq: insert passthrough request into
hctx-&gt;dispatch directly") may change to add flush request to the tail
of dispatch by applying the 'add_head' parameter of
blk_mq_sched_insert_request.

Turns out this way causes performance regression on NCQ controller because
flush is non-NCQ command, which can't be queued when there is any in-flight
NCQ command. When adding flush rq to the front of hctx-&gt;dispatch, it is
easier to introduce extra time to flush rq's latency compared with adding
to the tail of dispatch queue because of S_SCHED_RESTART, then chance of
flush merge is increased, and less flush requests may be issued to
controller.

So always insert flush request to the front of dispatch queue just like
before applying commit 01e99aeca397 ("blk-mq: insert passthrough request
into hctx-&gt;dispatch directly").

[ Upstream commit 01e99aeca3979600302913cef3f89076786f32c8 ]

For some reason, device may be in one situation which can't handle
FS request, so STS_RESOURCE is always returned and the FS request
will be added to hctx-&gt;dispatch. However passthrough request may
be required at that time for fixing the problem. If passthrough
request is added to scheduler queue, there isn't any chance for
blk-mq to dispatch it given we prioritize requests in hctx-&gt;dispatch.
Then the FS IO request may never be completed, and IO hang is caused.

So passthrough request has to be added to hctx-&gt;dispatch directly
for fixing the IO hang.

Fix this issue by inserting passthrough request into hctx-&gt;dispatch
directly together withing adding FS request to the tail of
hctx-&gt;dispatch in blk_mq_dispatch_rq_list(). Actually we add FS request
to tail of hctx-&gt;dispatch at default, see blk_mq_request_bypass_insert().

Then it becomes consistent with original legacy IO request
path, in which passthrough request is always added to q-&gt;queue_head.

commit dcd6589b11d3b1e71f516a87a7b9646ed356b4c0 upstream.

vtimes may wrap and time_before/after64() should be used to determine
whether a given vtime is before or after another. iocg_is_idle() was
incorrectly using plain "&lt;" comparison do determine whether done_vtime
is before vtime. Here, the only thing we're interested in is whether
done_vtime matches vtime which indicates that there's nothing in
flight. Let's test for inequality instead.

commit db37a34c563bf4692b36990ae89005c031385e52 upstream.

BFQ schedules generic entities, which may represent either bfq_queues
or groups of bfq_queues. When an entity is inserted into a service
tree, a reference must be taken, to make sure that the entity does not
disappear while still referred in the tree. Unfortunately, such a
reference is mistakenly taken only if the entity represents a
bfq_queue. This commit takes a reference also in case the entity
represents a group.

[ Upstream commit 32c59e3a9a5a0b180dd015755d6d18ca31e55935 ]

BFQ maintains an ordered list, implemented with an RB tree, of
head-request positions of non-empty bfq_queues. This position tree,
inherited from CFQ, is used to find bfq_queues that contain I/O close
to each other. BFQ merges these bfq_queues into a single shared queue,
if this boosts throughput on the device at hand.

There is however a special-purpose bfq_queue that does not participate
in queue merging, the oom bfq_queue. Yet, also this bfq_queue could be
wrongly added to the position tree. So bfqq_find_close() could return
the oom bfq_queue, which is a source of further troubles in an
out-of-memory situation. This commit prevents the oom bfq_queue from
being inserted into the position tree.

[ Upstream commit 32c59e3a9a5a0b180dd015755d6d18ca31e55935 ]

BFQ maintains an ordered list, implemented with an RB tree, of
head-request positions of non-empty bfq_queues. This position tree,
inherited from CFQ, is used to find bfq_queues that contain I/O close
to each other. BFQ merges these bfq_queues into a single shared queue,
if this boosts throughput on the device at hand.

There is however a special-purpose bfq_queue that does not participate
in queue merging, the oom bfq_queue. Yet, also this bfq_queue could be
wrongly added to the position tree. So bfqq_find_close() could return
the oom bfq_queue, which is a source of further troubles in an
out-of-memory situation. This commit prevents the oom bfq_queue from
being inserted into the position tree.

[ Upstream commit ecedd3d7e19911ab8fe42f17b77c0a30fe7f4db3 ]

In bfq_bfqq_move(), the bfq_queue, say Q, to be moved to a new group
may happen to be deactivated in the scheduling data structures of the
source group (and then activated in the destination group). If Q is
referred only by the data structures in the source group when the
deactivation happens, then Q is freed upon the deactivation.

This commit addresses this issue by getting an extra reference before
the possible deactivation, and releasing this extra reference after Q
has been moved.

<title>block, bfq: do not plug I/O for bfq_queues with no proc refs</title>

[ Upstream commit f718b093277df582fbf8775548a4f163e664d282 ]

Commit 478de3380c1c ("block, bfq: deschedule empty bfq_queues not
referred by any process") fixed commit 3726112ec731 ("block, bfq:
re-schedule empty queues if they deserve I/O plugging") by
descheduling an empty bfq_queue when it remains with not process
reference. Yet, this still left a case uncovered: an empty bfq_queue
with not process reference that remains in service. This happens for
an in-service sync bfq_queue that is deemed to deserve I/O-dispatch
plugging when it remains empty. Yet no new requests will arrive for
such a bfq_queue if no process sends requests to it any longer. Even
worse, the bfq_queue may happen to be prematurely freed while still in
service (because there may remain no reference to it any longer).

This commit solves this problem by preventing I/O dispatch from being
plugged for the in-service bfq_queue, if the latter has no process
reference (the bfq_queue is then prevented from remaining in service).
