blk-mq: factor out a helper to iterate all tags for a request_queue

2015-10-01T08:10:57+00:00

And replace the blk_mq_tag_busy_iter with it - the driver use has been
replaced with a new helper a while ago, and internal to the block we
only need the new version.

blk-mq: fix racy updates of rq->errors

2015-10-01T08:10:55+00:00

blk_mq_complete_request may be a no-op if the request has already
been completed by others means (e.g. a timeout or cancellation), but
currently drivers have to set rq->errors before calling
blk_mq_complete_request, which might leave us with the wrong error value.

Add an error parameter to blk_mq_complete_request so that we can
defer setting rq->errors until we known we won the race to complete the
request.

blk-mq: fix deadlock when reading cpu_list

2015-09-29T17:32:51+00:00

CPU hotplug handling for blk-mq (blk_mq_queue_reinit) acquires
all_q_mutex in blk_mq_queue_reinit_notify() and then removes sysfs
entries by blk_mq_sysfs_unregister().  Removing sysfs entry needs to
be blocked until the active reference of the kernfs_node to be zero.

On the other hand, reading blk_mq_hw_sysfs_cpu sysfs entry (e.g.
/sys/block/nullb0/mq/0/cpu_list) acquires all_q_mutex in
blk_mq_hw_sysfs_cpus_show().

If these happen at the same time, a deadlock can happen.  Because one
can wait for the active reference to be zero with holding all_q_mutex,
and the other tries to acquire all_q_mutex with holding the active
reference.

The reason that all_q_mutex is acquired in blk_mq_hw_sysfs_cpus_show()
is to avoid reading an imcomplete hctx->cpumask.  Since reading sysfs
entry for blk-mq needs to acquire q->sysfs_lock, we can avoid deadlock
and reading an imcomplete hctx->cpumask by protecting q->sysfs_lock
while hctx->cpumask is being updated.

blk-mq: avoid inserting requests before establishing new mapping

2015-09-29T17:32:50+00:00

Notifier callbacks for CPU_ONLINE action can be run on the other CPU
than the CPU which was just onlined.  So it is possible for the
process running on the just onlined CPU to insert request and run
hw queue before establishing new mapping which is done by
blk_mq_queue_reinit_notify().

This can cause a problem when the CPU has just been onlined first time
since the request queue was initialized.  At this time ctx->index_hw
for the CPU, which is the index in hctx->ctxs[] for this ctx, is still
zero before blk_mq_queue_reinit_notify() is called by notifier
callbacks for CPU_ONLINE action.

For example, there is a single hw queue (hctx) and two CPU queues
(ctx0 for CPU0, and ctx1 for CPU1).  Now CPU1 is just onlined and
a request is inserted into ctx1->rq_list and set bit0 in pending
bitmap as ctx1->index_hw is still zero.

And then while running hw queue, flush_busy_ctxs() finds bit0 is set
in pending bitmap and tries to retrieve requests in
hctx->ctxs[0]->rq_list.  But htx->ctxs[0] is a pointer to ctx0, so the
request in ctx1->rq_list is ignored.

Fix it by ensuring that new mapping is established before onlined cpu
starts running.

blk-mq: fix q->mq_usage_counter access race

2015-09-29T17:32:48+00:00

CPU hotplug handling for blk-mq (blk_mq_queue_reinit) accesses
q->mq_usage_counter while freezing all request queues in all_q_list.
On the other hand, q->mq_usage_counter is deinitialized in
blk_mq_free_queue() before deleting the queue from all_q_list.

So if CPU hotplug event occurs in the window, percpu_ref_kill() is
called with q->mq_usage_counter which has already been marked dead,
and it triggers warning.  Fix it by deleting the queue from all_q_list
earlier than destroying q->mq_usage_counter.

blk-mq: Fix use after of free q->mq_map

2015-09-29T17:32:46+00:00

CPU hotplug handling for blk-mq (blk_mq_queue_reinit) updates
q->mq_map by blk_mq_update_queue_map() for all request queues in
all_q_list.  On the other hand, q->mq_map is released before deleting
the queue from all_q_list.

So if CPU hotplug event occurs in the window, invalid memory access
can happen.  Fix it by releasing q->mq_map in blk_mq_release() to make
it happen latter than removal from all_q_list.

blk-mq: fix sysfs registration/unregistration race

2015-09-29T17:32:45+00:00

There is a race between cpu hotplug handling and adding/deleting
gendisk for blk-mq, where both are trying to register and unregister
the same sysfs entries.

null_add_dev
    --> blk_mq_init_queue
        --> blk_mq_init_allocated_queue
            --> add to 'all_q_list' (*)
    --> add_disk
        --> blk_register_queue
            --> blk_mq_register_disk (++)

null_del_dev
    --> del_gendisk
        --> blk_unregister_queue
            --> blk_mq_unregister_disk (--)
    --> blk_cleanup_queue
        --> blk_mq_free_queue
            --> del from 'all_q_list' (*)

blk_mq_queue_reinit
    --> blk_mq_sysfs_unregister (-)
    --> blk_mq_sysfs_register (+)

While the request queue is added to 'all_q_list' (*),
blk_mq_queue_reinit() can be called for the queue anytime by CPU
hotplug callback.  But blk_mq_sysfs_unregister (-) and
blk_mq_sysfs_register (+) in blk_mq_queue_reinit must not be called
before blk_mq_register_disk (++) and after blk_mq_unregister_disk (--)
is finished.  Because '/sys/block/*/mq/' is not exists.

There has already been BLK_MQ_F_SYSFS_UP flag in hctx->flags which can
be used to track these sysfs stuff, but it is only fixing this issue
partially.

In order to fix it completely, we just need per-queue flag instead of
per-hctx flag with appropriate locking.  So this introduces
q->mq_sysfs_init_done which is properly protected with all_q_mutex.

Also, we need to ensure that blk_mq_map_swqueue() is called with
all_q_mutex is held.  Since hctx->nr_ctx is reset temporarily and
updated in blk_mq_map_swqueue(), so we should avoid
blk_mq_register_hctx() seeing the temporary hctx->nr_ctx value
in CPU hotplug handling or adding/deleting gendisk .

blk-mq: avoid setting hctx->tags->cpumask before allocation

2015-09-29T17:32:43+00:00

When unmapped hw queue is remapped after CPU topology is changed,
hctx->tags->cpumask has to be set after hctx->tags is setup in
blk_mq_map_swqueue(), otherwise it causes null pointer dereference.

Merge branch 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux-block

2015-09-20T01:57:09+00:00

Pull block updates from Jens Axboe:
 "This is a bit bigger than it should be, but I could (did) not want to
  send it off last week due to both wanting extra testing, and expecting
  a fix for the bounce regression as well.  In any case, this contains:

   - Fix for the blk-merge.c compilation warning on gcc 5.x from me.

   - A set of back/front SG gap merge fixes, from me and from Sagi.
     This ensures that we honor SG gapping for integrity payloads as
     well.

   - Two small fixes for null_blk from Matias, fixing a leak and a
     capacity propagation issue.

   - A blkcg fix from Tejun, fixing a NULL dereference.

   - A fast clone optimization from Ming, fixing a performance
     regression since the arbitrarily sized bio's were introduced.

   - Also from Ming, a regression fix for bouncing IOs"

block: fix bounce_end_io

2015-09-17T16:07:04+00:00

When bio bounce is involved, one new bio and its biovecs are
cloned from the comming bio, which can be one fast-cloned bio
from upper layer(such as dm).

So it is obviously wrong to assume the start index of the coming(
original) bio's io vector is zero, which can be any value between
0 and (bi_max_vecs - 1), especially in case of bio split.
