Since commit ac33e91e2d ("blk-iocost: implement vtime loss
compensation") rename original vtime_rate to vtime_base_rate
and current vtime_rate is original vtime_rate with compensation.
The current rate showed in tracepoint is mixed with vtime_rate
and vtime_base_rate:
1) In function ioc_adjust_base_vrate, the first trace_iocost_ioc_vrate_adj
shows vtime_rate, the second trace_iocost_ioc_vrate_adj shows
vtime_base_rate.
2) In function iocg_activate shows vtime_rate by calling
TRACE_IOCG_PATH(iocg_activate...
3) In function ioc_check_iocgs shows vtime_rate by calling
TRACE_IOCG_PATH(iocg_idle...
Trace vtime_base_rate instead of vtime_rate as:
1) Before commit ac33e91e2d ("blk-iocost: implement vtime loss
compensation"), the traced rate is without compensation, so still
show rate without compensation.
2) The vtime_base_rate is more stable while vtime_rate heavily depends on
excess budeget on current period which may change abruptly in next period.

This won't cause any severe problem currently, however, this doesn't
seems appropriate:
1) 'ioc->params' is read from multiple places without holding
'ioc->lock', unexpected value might be read if writing it concurrently.
2) If configuration is changed while io is throttling, the functionality
might be affected. For example, if module params is updated and cost
becomes smaller, waiting for timer that is caculated under old
configuration is not appropriate.

ioc_qos_write() and ioc_cost_model_write() are the same:
1) hold lock to read 'ioc->params' to local variable;
2) update params to local variable without lock;
3) hold lock to write local variable to 'ioc->params';
In theroy, if user updates params concurrenty, the params might be lost:
t1: update params a t2: update params b
spin_lock_irq(&ioc->lock);
memcpy(qos, ioc->params.qos, sizeof(qos))
spin_unlock_irq(&ioc->lock);
qos[a] = xxx;

memcpy(qos, ioc->params.qos, sizeof(qos))
spin_unlock_irq(&ioc->lock);

spin_lock_irq(&ioc->lock);
// updates of a will be lost
memcpy(ioc->params.qos, qos, sizeof(qos));
ioc_refresh_params(ioc, true);
spin_unlock_irq(&ioc->lock);
Althrough this is not common case, the problem can by fixed easily by
holding the lock through the read, update, write process.

In our test of iocost, we encountered some list add/del corruptions of
inner_walk list in ioc_timer_fn.
The reason can be described as follows:
cpu 0 cpu 1
ioc_qos_write ioc_qos_write
ioc = q_to_ioc(queue);
if (!ioc) {
ioc = kzalloc();
ioc = q_to_ioc(queue);
if (!ioc) {
ioc = kzalloc();
...
rq_qos_add(q, rqos);
}
...
rq_qos_add(q, rqos);
...
}
When the io.cost.qos file is written by two cpus concurrently, rq_qos may
be added to one disk twice. In that case, there will be two iocs enabled
and running on one disk. They own different iocgs on their active list. In
the ioc_timer_fn function, because of the iocgs from two iocs have the
same root iocg, the root iocg's walk_list may be overwritten by each other
and this leads to list add/del corruptions in building or destroying the
inner_walk list.
And so far, the blk-rq-qos framework works in case that one instance for
one type rq_qos per queue by default. This patch make this explicit and
also fix the crash above.

When an iocg is in debt, its inuse weight is owned by debt handling and
should stay at 1. This invariant was broken when determining the amount of
surpluses at the beginning of donation calculation - when an iocg's
hierarchical weight is too low, the iocg is excluded from donation
calculation and its inuse is reset to its active regardless of its
indebtedness, triggering warnings like the following:

The donation calculation logic assumes that the donor has non-zero
after-donation hweight, so the lowest active hweight a donating cgroup can
have is 2 so that it can donate 1 while keeping the other 1 for itself.
Earlier, we only donated from cgroups with sizable surpluses so this
condition was always true. However, with the precise donation algorithm
implemented, f1de2439ec ("blk-iocost: revamp donation amount
determination") made the donation amount calculation exact enabling even low
hweight cgroups to donate.
This means that in rare occasions, a cgroup with active hweight of 1 can
enter donation calculation triggering the following warning and then a
divide-by-zero oops.

iocg_wake_fn() open-codes wait_queue_entry removal and wakeup because it
wants the wq_entry to be always removed whether it ended up waking the
task or not. finish_wait() tests whether wq_entry needs removal without
grabbing the wait_queue lock and expects the waker to use
list_del_init_careful() after all waking operations are complete, which
iocg_wake_fn() didn't do. The operation order was wrong and the regular
list_del_init() was used.
The result is that if a waiter wakes up racing the waker, it can free pop
the wq_entry off stack before the waker is still looking at it, which can
lead to a backtrace like the following.

When the weight of an active iocg is updated, weight_updated() is called
which in turn calls __propagate_weights() to update the active and inuse
weights so that the effective hierarchical weights are update accordingly.
The current implementation is incorrect for inner active nodes. For an
active leaf iocg, inuse can be any value between 1 and active and the
difference represents how much the iocg is donating. When weight is updated,
as long as inuse is clamped between 1 and the new weight, we're alright and
this is what __propagate_weights() currently implements.
However, that's not how an active inner node's inuse is set. An inner node's
inuse is solely determined by the ratio between the sums of inuse's and
active's of its children - ie. they're results of propagating the leaves'
active and inuse weights upwards. __propagate_weights() incorrectly applies
the same clamping as for a leaf when an active inner node's weight is
updated. Consider a hierarchy which looks like the following with saturating
workloads in AA and BB.
R
/ \
A B
| |
AA BB
1. For both A and B, active=100, inuse=100, hwa=0.5, hwi=0.5.
2. echo 200 > A/io.weight
3. __propagate_weights() update A's active to 200 and leave inuse at 100 as
it's already between 1 and the new active, making A:active=200,
A:inuse=100. As R's active_sum is updated along with A's active,
A:hwa=2/3, B:hwa=1/3. However, because the inuses didn't change, the
hwi's remain unchanged at 0.5.
4. The weight of A is now twice that of B but AA and BB still have the same
hwi of 0.5 and thus are doing the same amount of IOs.
Fix it by making __propgate_weights() always calculate the inuse of an
active inner iocg based on the ratio of child_inuse_sum to child_active_sum.

ioc_adjust_base_vrate() ignored vrate_min when rq_wait_pct indicates that
there is QD contention. The reasoning was that QD depletion always reliably
indicates device saturation and thus it's safe to override user specified
vrate_min. However, this sometimes leads to unnecessary throttling,
especially on really fast devices, because vrate adjustments have delays and
inertia. It also confuses users because the behavior violates the explicitly
specified configuration.
This patch drops the special case handling so that vrate_min is always
applied.

When initializing iocost for a queue, its rqos should be registered before
the blkcg policy is activated to allow policy data initiailization to lookup
the associated ioc. This unfortunately means that the rqos methods can be
called on bios before iocgs are attached to all existing blkgs.
While the race is theoretically possible on ioc_rqos_throttle(), it mostly
happened in ioc_rqos_merge() due to the difference in how they lookup ioc.
The former determines it from the passed in @rqos and then bails before
dereferencing iocg if the looked up ioc is disabled, which most likely is
the case if initialization is still in progress. The latter looked up ioc by
dereferencing the possibly NULL iocg making it a lot more prone to actually
triggering the bug.
* Make ioc_rqos_merge() use the same method as ioc_rqos_throttle() to look
up ioc for consistency.
* Make ioc_rqos_throttle() and ioc_rqos_merge() test for NULL iocg before
dereferencing it.
* Explain the danger of NULL iocgs in blk_iocost_init().

It will be helpful to trace the iocg's whole state, including active and
idle state. And we can easily expand the original iocost_iocg_activate
trace event to support a state trace class, including active and idle
state tracing.

To simplify block device lookup and a few other upcoming areas, make sure
that we always have a struct block_device available for each disk and
each partition, and only find existing block devices in bdget. The only
downside of this is that each device and partition uses a little more
memory. The upside will be that a lot of code can be simplified.
With that all we need to look up the block device is to lookup the inode
and do a few sanity checks on the gendisk, instead of the separate lookup
for the gendisk. For blk-cgroup which wants to access a gendisk without
opening it, a new blkdev_{get,put}_no_open low-level interface is added
to replace the previous get_gendisk use.
Note that the change to look up block device directly instead of the two
step lookup using struct gendisk causes a subtile change in behavior:
accessing a non-existing partition on an existing block device can now
cause a call to request_module. That call is harmless, and in practice
no recent system will access these nodes as they aren't created by udev
and static /dev/ setups are unusual.

An iocg may have 0 debt but non-zero delay. The current debt forgiveness
logic doesn't act on such iocgs. This can lead to unexpected behaviors - an
iocg with a little bit of debt will have its delay canceled through debt
forgiveness but one w/o any debt but active delay will have to wait out
until its delay decays out.
This patch updates the debt handling logic so that it treats delays the same
as debts. If either debt or delay is active, debt forgiveness logic kicks in
and acts on both the same way.
Also, avoid turning the debt and delay directly to zero as that can confuse
state transitions.

Debt forgiveness logic was counting the number of consecutive !busy periods
as the trigger condition. While this usually works, it can easily be thrown
off by temporary fluctuations especially on configurations w/ short periods.
This patch reimplements debt forgiveness so that:
* Use the average usage over the forgiveness period instead of counting
consecutive periods.
* Debt is reduced at around the target rate (1/2 every 100ms) regardless of
ioc period duration.
* Usage threshold is raised to 50%. Combined with the preceding changes and
the switch to average usage, this makes debt forgivness a lot more
effective at reducing the amount of unnecessary idleness.
* Constants are renamed with DFGV_ prefix.

Debt sets the initial delay duration which is decayed over time. The current
debt reduction halved the debt but didn't change the delay. It prevented
future debts from increasing delay but didn't do anything to lower the
existing delay, limiting the mechanism's ability to reduce unnecessary
idling.
Reset iocg->delay to 0 after debt reduction so that iocg_kick_waitq()
recalculates new delay value based on the reduced debt amount.

Debt reduction was blocked if any iocg was short on budget in the past
period to avoid reducing debts while some iocgs are saturated. However, this
ends up unnecessarily blocking debt reduction due to temporary local
imbalances when the device is generally being underutilized, while also
failing to block when the underlying device is overwhelmed and the usage
becomes low from high latency.
Given that debt accumulation mostly happens with swapout bursts which can
significantly deteriorate the underlying device's latency response, the
current logic is not great.
Let's replace it with ioc->busy_level based condition so that we block debt
reduction when the underlying device is being saturated. ioc_forgive_debts()
call is moved after busy_level determination.

adjust_inuse_and_calc_cost() is responsible for reducing the amount of
donated weights dynamically in period as the budget runs low. Because we
don't want to do full donation calculation in period, we keep latching up
inuse by INUSE_ADJ_STEP_PCT of the active weight of the cgroup until the
resulting hweight_inuse is satisfactory.
Unfortunately, the adj_step calculation was reading the active weight before
acquiring ioc->lock. Because the current thread could have lost race to
activate the iocg to another thread before entering this function, it may
read the active weight as zero before acquiring ioc->lock. When this
happens, the adj_step is calculated as zero and the incremental adjustment
loop becomes an infinite one.
Fix it by fetching the active weight after acquiring ioc->lock.

When an iocg accumulates too much vtime or gets deactivated, we throw away
some vtime, which lowers the overall device utilization. As the exact amount
which is being thrown away is known, we can compensate by accelerating the
vrate accordingly so that the extra vtime generated in the current period
matches what got lost.
This significantly improves work conservation when involving high weight
cgroups with intermittent and bursty IO patterns.
