A cgroup gets assigned a low limit, but the cgroup could never dispatch
enough IO to cross the low limit. In such case, the queue state machine
will remain in LIMIT_LOW state and all other cgroups will be throttled
according to low limit. This is unfair for other cgroups. We should
treat the cgroup idle and upgrade the state machine to lower state.
We also have a downgrade logic. If the state machine upgrades because of
cgroup idle (real idle), the state machine will downgrade soon as the
cgroup is below its low limit. This isn't what we want. A more
complicated case is cgroup isn't idle when queue is in LIMIT_LOW. But
when queue gets upgraded to lower state, other cgroups could dispatch
more IO and this cgroup can't dispatch enough IO, so the cgroup is below
its low limit and looks like idle (fake idle). In this case, the queue
should downgrade soon. The key to determine if we should do downgrade is
to detect if cgroup is truely idle.
Unfortunately it's very hard to determine if a cgroup is real idle. This
patch uses the 'think time check' idea from CFQ for the purpose. Please
note, the idea doesn't work for all workloads. For example, a workload
with io depth 8 has disk utilization 100%, hence think time is 0, eg,
not idle. But the workload can run higher bandwidth with io depth 16.
Compared to io depth 16, the io depth 8 workload is idle. We use the
idea to roughly determine if a cgroup is idle.
We treat a cgroup idle if its think time is above a threshold (by
default 1ms for SSD and 100ms for HD). The idea is think time above the
threshold will start to harm performance. HD is much slower so a longer
think time is ok.
The patch (and the latter patches) uses 'unsigned long' to track time.
We convert 'ns' to 'us' with 'ns >> 10'. This is fast but loses
precision, should not a big deal.

When cgroups all reach low limit, cgroups can dispatch more IO. This
could make some cgroups dispatch more IO but others not, and even some
cgroups could dispatch less IO than their low limit. For example, cg1
low limit 10MB/s, cg2 limit 80MB/s, assume disk maximum bandwidth is
120M/s for the workload. Their bps could something like this:
cg1/cg2 bps: T1: 10/80 -> T2: 60/60 -> T3: 10/80
At T1, all cgroups reach low limit, so they can dispatch more IO later.
Then cg1 dispatch more IO and cg2 has no room to dispatch enough IO. At
T2, cg2 only dispatches 60M/s. Since We detect cg2 dispatches less IO
than its low limit 80M/s, we downgrade the queue from LIMIT_MAX to
LIMIT_LOW, then all cgroups are throttled to their low limit (T3). cg2
will have bandwidth below its low limit at most time.
The big problem here is we don't know the maximum bandwidth of the
workload, so we can't make smart decision to avoid the situation. This
patch makes cgroup bandwidth change smooth. After disk upgrades from
LIMIT_LOW to LIMIT_MAX, we don't allow cgroups use all bandwidth upto
their max limit immediately. Their bandwidth limit will be increased
gradually to avoid above situation. So above example will became
something like:
cg1/cg2 bps: 10/80 -> 15/105 -> 20/100 -> 25/95 -> 30/90 -> 35/85 -> 40/80
-> 45/75 -> 22/98
In this way cgroups bandwidth will be above their limit in majority
time, this still doesn't fully utilize disk bandwidth, but that's
something we pay for sharing.
Scale up is linear. The limit scales up 1/2 .low limit every
throtl_slice after upgrade. The scale up will stop if the adjusted limit
hits .max limit. Scale down is exponential. We cut the scale value half
if a cgroup doesn't hit its .low limit. If the scale becomes 0, we then
fully downgrade the queue to LIMIT_LOW state.
Note this doesn't completely avoid cgroup running under its low limit.
The best way to guarantee cgroup doesn't run under its limit is to set
max limit. For example, if we set cg1 max limit to 40, cg2 will never
run under its low limit.

cgroup could be assigned a limit, but doesn't dispatch enough IO, eg the
cgroup is idle. When this happens, the cgroup doesn't hit its limit, so
we can't move the state machine to higher level and all cgroups will be
throttled to their lower limit, so we waste bandwidth. Detecting idle
cgroup is hard. This patch handles a simple case, a cgroup doesn't
dispatch any IO. We ignore such cgroup's limit, so other cgroups can use
the bandwidth.
Please note this will be replaced with a more sophisticated algorithm
later, but this demonstrates the idea how we handle idle cgroups, so I
leave it here.

throtl_slice is important for blk-throttling. It's called slice
internally but it really is a time window blk-throttling samples data.
blk-throttling will make decision based on the samplings. An example is
bandwidth measurement. A cgroup's bandwidth is measured in the time
interval of throtl_slice.
A small throtl_slice meanse cgroups have smoother throughput but burn
more CPUs. It has 100ms default value, which is not appropriate for all
disks. A fast SSD can dispatch a lot of IOs in 100ms. This patch makes
it tunable.
Since throtl_slice isn't a time slice, the sysfs name
'throttle_sample_time' reflects its character better.

cgroup could be throttled to a limit but when all cgroups cross high
limit, queue enters a higher state and so the group should be throttled
to a higher limit. It's possible the cgroup is sleeping because of
throttle and other cgroups don't dispatch IO any more. In this case,
nobody can trigger current downgrade/upgrade logic. To fix this issue,
we could either set up a timer to wakeup the cgroup if other cgroups are
idle or make sure this cgroup doesn't sleep too long. Setting up a timer
means we must change the timer very frequently. This patch chooses the
latter. Making cgroup sleep time not too big wouldn't change cgroup
bps/iops, but could make it wakeup more frequently, which isn't a big
issue because throtl_slice * 8 is already quite big.

When queue is in LIMIT_LOW state and all cgroups with low limit cross
the bps/iops limitation, we will upgrade queue's state to
LIMIT_MAX. To determine if a cgroup exceeds its limitation, we check if
the cgroup has pending request. Since cgroup is throttled according to
the limit, pending request means the cgroup reaches the limit.
If a cgroup has limit set for both read and write, we consider the
combination of them for upgrade. The reason is read IO and write IO can
interfere with each other. If we do the upgrade based in one direction
IO, the other direction IO could be severly harmed.
For a cgroup hierarchy, there are two cases. Children has lower low
limit than parent. Parent's low limit is meaningless. If children's
bps/iops cross low limit, we can upgrade queue state. The other case is
children has higher low limit than parent. Children's low limit is
meaningless. As long as parent's bps/iops (which is a sum of childrens
bps/iops) cross low limit, we can upgrade queue state.

For max limit, cgroup will use the limit configured by user.
For low limit, cgroup will use the minimal value between low limit and

As you can see RAX value is already poisoned showing that gendisk we got
is already freed. The problem is that get_gendisk() looks up device
number in ext_devt_idr and then does get_disk() which does kobject_get()
on the disks kobject. However the disk gets removed from ext_devt_idr
only in disk_release() (through blk_free_devt()) at which moment it has
already 0 refcount and is already on its way to be freed. Indeed we've
got a warning from kobject_get() about 0 refcount shortly before the
oops.
We fix the problem by using kobject_get_unless_zero() in get_disk() so
that get_disk() cannot get reference on a disk that is already being
freed.

Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@fb.com>
Currently, statistics are gathered in ~0.13s windows, and users grab the
statistics whenever they need them. This is not ideal for both in-tree
users:
1. Writeback throttling wants its own dynamically sized window of
statistics. Since the blk-stats statistics are reset after every
window and the wbt windows don't line up with the blk-stats windows,
wbt doesn't see every I/O.
2. Polling currently grabs the statistics on every I/O. Again, depending
on how the window lines up, we may miss some I/Os. It's also
unnecessary overhead to get the statistics on every I/O; the hybrid
polling heuristic would be just as happy with the statistics from the
previous full window.
This reworks the blk-stats infrastructure to be callback-based: users
register a callback that they want called at a given time with all of
the statistics from the window during which the callback was active.
Users can dynamically bucketize the statistics. wbt and polling both
currently use read vs. write, but polling can be extended to further
subdivide based on request size.
The callbacks are kept on an RCU list, and each callback has percpu
stats buffers. There will only be a few users, so the overhead on the
I/O completion side is low. The stats flushing is also simplified
considerably: since the timer function is responsible for clearing the
statistics, we don't have to worry about stale statistics.
wbt is a trivial conversion. After the conversion, the windowing problem
mentioned above is fixed.
For polling, we register an extra callback that caches the previous
window's statistics in the struct request_queue for the hybrid polling
heuristic to use.
Since we no longer have a single stats buffer for the request queue,
this also removes the sysfs and debugfs stats entries. To replace those,
we add a debugfs entry for the poll statistics.

Merge tag 'powerpc-4.11-5' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/powerpc/linux
Pull more powerpc fixes from Michael Ellerman:
"A couple of minor powerpc fixes for 4.11:
- wire up statx() syscall
- don't print a warning on memory hotplug when HPT resizing isn't
available
Thanks to: David Gibson, Chandan Rajendra"

Pull parisc fixes from Helge Deller:
- Mikulas Patocka added support for R_PARISC_SECREL32 relocations in
modules with CONFIG_MODVERSIONS.
- Dave Anglin optimized the cache flushing for vmap ranges.
- Arvind Yadav provided a fix for a potential NULL pointer dereference
in the parisc perf code (and some code cleanups).
- I wired up the new statx system call, fixed some compiler warnings
with the access_ok() macro and fixed shutdown code to really halt a
system at shutdown instead of crashing & rebooting.

Pull SCSI target fixes from Nicholas Bellinger:
"The bulk of the changes are in qla2xxx target driver code to address
various issues found during Cavium/QLogic's internal testing (stable
CC's included), along with a few other stability and smaller
miscellaneous improvements.
There are also a couple of different patch sets from Mike Christie,
which have been a result of his work to use target-core ALUA logic
together with tcm-user backend driver.
Finally, a patch to address some long standing issues with
pass-through SCSI export of TYPE_TAPE + TYPE_MEDIUM_CHANGER devices,
which will make folks using physical (or virtual) magnetic tape happy"

Pull device-dax fixes from Dan Williams:
"The device-dax driver was not being careful to handle falling back to
smaller fault-granularity sizes.
The driver already fails fault attempts that are smaller than the
device's alignment, but it also needs to handle the cases where a
larger page mapping could be established. For simplicity of the
immediate fix the implementation just signals VM_FAULT_FALLBACK until
fault-size == device-alignment.
One fix is for -stable to address pmd-to-pte fallback from the
original implementation, another fix is for the new (introduced in
4.11-rc1) pud-to-pmd regression, and a typo fix comes along for the
ride.
These have received a build success notification from the kbuild
robot"

Current driver wait for FW to be in the ready state before
processing in-coming commands. For Arbitrated Loop or
Point-to- Point (not switch), FW Ready state can take a while.
FW will transition to ready state after all Nports have been
logged in. In the mean time, certain initiators have completed
the login and starts IO. Driver needs to start processing all
queues if FW is already started.

For target mode, when new scsi command arrive, driver first performs
a look up of the SCSI Host. The current look up method is based on
the ALPA portion of the NPort ID. For Cisco switch, the ALPA can
not be used as the index. Instead, the new search method is based
on the full value of the Nport_ID via btree lib.
