block: rename bio bi_rw to bi_opf

2016-08-07T20:41:02+00:00

Since commit 63a4cc24867d, bio->bi_rw contains flags in the lower
portion and the op code in the higher portions. This means that
old code that relies on manually setting bi_rw is most likely
going to be broken. Instead of letting that brokeness linger,
rename the member, to force old and out-of-tree code to break
at compile time instead of at runtime.

No intended functional changes in this commit.

blk-mq: fix deadlock in blk_mq_register_disk() error path

2016-08-04T20:19:16+00:00

If we fail registering any of the hardware queues, we call
into blk_mq_unregister_disk() with the hotplug mutex already
held. Since blk_mq_unregister_disk() attempts to acquire the
same mutex, we end up in a less than happy place.

block: fix bdi vs gendisk lifetime mismatch

2016-08-04T20:19:16+00:00

The name for a bdi of a gendisk is derived from the gendisk's devt.
However, since the gendisk is destroyed before the bdi it leaves a
window where a new gendisk could dynamically reuse the same devt while a
bdi with the same name is still live.  Arrange for the bdi to hold a
reference against its "owner" disk device while it is registered.
Otherwise we can hit sysfs duplicate name collisions like the following:

blk-mq: Allow timeouts to run while queue is freezing

2016-08-04T20:19:16+00:00

In case a submitted request gets stuck for some reason, the block layer
can prevent the request starvation by starting the scheduled timeout work.
If this stuck request occurs at the same time another thread has started
a queue freeze, the blk_mq_timeout_work will not be able to acquire the
queue reference and will return silently, thus not issuing the timeout.
But since the request is already holding a q_usage_counter reference and
is unable to complete, it will never release its reference, preventing
the queue from completing the freeze started by first thread.  This puts
the request_queue in a hung state, forever waiting for the freeze
completion.

This was observed while running IO to a NVMe device at the same time we
toggled the CPU hotplug code. Eventually, once a request got stuck
requiring a timeout during a queue freeze, we saw the CPU Hotplug
notification code get stuck inside blk_mq_freeze_queue_wait, as shown in
the trace below.

The fix is to allow the timeout work to execute in the window between
dropping the initial refcount reference and the release of the last
reference, which actually marks the freeze completion.  This can be
achieved with percpu_refcount_tryget, which does not require the counter
to be alive.  This way the timeout work can do it's job and terminate a
stuck request even during a freeze, returning its reference and avoiding
the deadlock.

Allowing the timeout to run is just a part of the fix, since for some
devices, we might get stuck again inside the device driver's timeout
handler, should it attempt to allocate a new request in that path -
which is a quite common action for Abort commands, which need to be sent
after a timeout.  In NVMe, for instance, we call blk_mq_alloc_request
from inside the timeout handler, which will fail during a freeze, since
it also tries to acquire a queue reference.

I considered a similar change to blk_mq_alloc_request as a generic
solution for further device driver hangs, but we can't do that, since it
would allow new requests to disturb the freeze process.  I thought about
creating a new function in the block layer to support unfreezable
requests for these occasions, but after working on it for a while, I
feel like this should be handled in a per-driver basis.  I'm now
experimenting with changes to the NVMe timeout path, but I'm open to
suggestions of ways to make this generic.

This problem can occur in the following situation:

open()
 - pread()
    - .seq_start()
       - iter = kmalloc() // succeeds
       - seqf->private = iter
    - .seq_stop()
       - kfree(seqf->private)
 - pread()
    - .seq_start()
       - iter = kmalloc() // fails
    - .seq_stop()
       - class_dev_iter_exit(seqf->private) // boom! old pointer

As the comment in disk_seqf_stop() says, stop is called even if start
failed, so we need to reinitialise the private pointer to NULL when seq
iteration stops.

An alternative would be to set the private pointer to NULL when the
kmalloc() in disk_seqf_start() fails.

block: add missing group association in bio-cloning functions

2016-08-04T20:19:16+00:00

When a bio is cloned, the newly created bio must be associated with
the same blkcg as the original bio (if BLK_CGROUP is enabled). If
this operation is not performed, then the new bio is not associated
with any group, and the group of the current task is returned when
the group of the bio is requested.

Depending on the cloning frequency, this may cause a large
percentage of the bios belonging to a given group to be treated
as if belonging to other groups (in most cases as if belonging to
the root group). The expected group isolation may thereby be broken.

This commit adds the missing association in bio-cloning functions.

block: remove BLK_DEV_DAX config option

The functionality for block device DAX was already removed with commit
acc93d30d7d4 ("Revert "block: enable dax for raw block devices"")

However, we still had a config option hanging around that was always
disabled because it depended on CONFIG_BROKEN.  This config option was
introduced in commit 03cdadb04077 ("block: disable block device DAX by
default")

This change reverts that commit, removing the dead config option.
