12f5b93145 blk-mq: Remove generation seqeunce
This patch simplifies the timeout handling by relying on the request
reference counting to ensure the iterator is operating on an inflight
and truly timed out request. Since the reference counting prevents the
tag from being reallocated, the block layer no longer needs to prevent
drivers from completing their requests while the timeout handler is
operating on it: a driver completing a request is allowed to proceed to
the next state without additional syncronization with the block layer.

This also removes any need for generation sequence numbers since the
request lifetime is prevented from being reallocated as a new sequence
while timeout handling is operating on it.

To enables this a refcount is added to struct request so that request
users can be sure they're operating on the same request without it
changing while they're processing it.  The request's tag won't be
released for reuse until both the timeout handler and the completion
are done with it.

bc6d65e6dc blk-mq: Directly schedule q->timeout_work when aborting a request
Request abortion is performed by overriding deadline to now and
scheduling timeout handling immediately.  For the latter part, the
code was using mod_timer(timeout, 0) which can't guarantee that the
timer runs afterwards.  Let's schedule the underlying work item
directly instead.

This fixes the hangs during probing reported by Sitsofe but it isn't
yet clear to me how the failure can happen reliably if it's just the
above described race condition.

358f70da49 blk-mq: make blk_abort_request() trigger timeout path
With issue/complete and timeout paths now using the generation number
and state based synchronization, blk_abort_request() is the only one
which depends on REQ_ATOM_COMPLETE for arbitrating completion.

There's no reason for blk_abort_request() to be a completely separate
path.  This patch makes blk_abort_request() piggyback on the timeout
path instead of trying to terminate the request directly.

This removes the last dependency on REQ_ATOM_COMPLETE in blk-mq.

Note that this makes blk_abort_request() asynchronous - it initiates
abortion but the actual termination will happen after a short while,
even when the caller owns the request.  AFAICS, SCSI and ATA should be
fine with that and I think mtip32xx and dasd should be safe but not
completely sure.  It'd be great if people who know the drivers take a
look.

v2: - Add comment explaining the lack of synchronization around
      ->deadline update as requested by Bart.

1d9bd5161b blk-mq: replace timeout synchronization with a RCU and generation based scheme
Currently, blk-mq timeout path synchronizes against the usual
issue/completion path using a complex scheme involving atomic
bitflags, REQ_ATOM_*, memory barriers and subtle memory coherence
rules.  Unfortunately, it contains quite a few holes.

There's a complex dancing around REQ_ATOM_STARTED and
REQ_ATOM_COMPLETE between issue/completion and timeout paths; however,
they don't have a synchronization point across request recycle
instances and it isn't clear what the barriers add.
blk_mq_check_expired() can easily read STARTED from N-2'th iteration,
deadline from N-1'th, blk_mark_rq_complete() against Nth instance.

In fact, it's pretty easy to make blk_mq_check_expired() terminate a
later instance of a request.  If we induce 5 sec delay before
time_after_eq() test in blk_mq_check_expired(), shorten the timeout to
2s, and issue back-to-back large IOs, blk-mq starts timing out
requests spuriously pretty quickly.  Nothing actually timed out.  It
just made the call on a recycle instance of a request and then
terminated a later instance long after the original instance finished.
The scenario isn't theoretical either.

This patch replaces the broken synchronization mechanism with a RCU
and generation number based one.

1. Each request has a u64 generation + state value, which can be
   updated only by the request owner.  Whenever a request becomes
   in-flight, the generation number gets bumped up too.  This provides
   the basis for the timeout path to distinguish different recycle
   instances of the request.

   Also, marking a request in-flight and setting its deadline are
   protected with a seqcount so that the timeout path can fetch both
   values coherently.

2. The timeout path fetches the generation, state and deadline.  If
   the verdict is timeout, it records the generation into a dedicated
   request abortion field and does RCU wait.

3. The completion path is also protected by RCU (from the previous
   patch) and checks whether the current generation number and state
   match the abortion field.  If so, it skips completion.

4. The timeout path, after RCU wait, scans requests again and
   terminates the ones whose generation and state still match the ones
   requested for abortion.

   By now, the timeout path knows that either the generation number
   and state changed if it lost the race or the completion will yield
   to it and can safely timeout the request.

While it's more lines of code, it's conceptually simpler, doesn't
depend on direct use of subtle memory ordering or coherence, and
hopefully doesn't terminate the wrong instance.

While this change makes REQ_ATOM_COMPLETE synchronization unnecessary
between issue/complete and timeout paths, REQ_ATOM_COMPLETE isn't
removed yet as it's still used in other places.  Future patches will
move all state tracking to the new mechanism and remove all bitops in
the hot paths.

Note that this patch adds a comment explaining a race condition in
BLK_EH_RESET_TIMER path.  The race has always been there and this
patch doesn't change it.  It's just documenting the existing race.

v2: - Fixed BLK_EH_RESET_TIMER handling as pointed out by Jianchao.
    - s/request->gstate_seqc/request->gstate_seq/ as suggested by Peter.
    - READ_ONCE() added in blk_mq_rq_update_state() as suggested by Peter.

v3: - Fixed possible extended seqcount / u64_stats_sync read looping
      spotted by Peter.
    - MQ_RQ_IDLE was incorrectly being set in complete_request instead
      of free_request.  Fixed.

v4: - Rebased on top of hctx_lock() refactoring patch.
    - Added comment explaining the use of hctx_lock() in completion path.

v5: - Added comments requested by Bart.
    - Note the addition of BLK_EH_RESET_TIMER race condition in the
      commit message.

a7af0af321 blk-mq: attempt to fix atomic flag memory ordering
Attempt to untangle the ordering in blk-mq. The patch introducing the
single smp_mb__before_atomic() is obviously broken in that it doesn't
clearly specify a pairing barrier and an obtained guarantee.

The comment is further misleading in that it hints that the
deadline store and the COMPLETE store also need to be ordered, but
AFAICT there is no such dependency. However what does appear to be
important is the clear happening _after_ the store, and that worked by
pure accident.

This clarifies blk_mq_start_request() -- we should not get there with
STARTING set -- this simplifies the code and makes the barrier usage
sane (the old code could be read to allow not having _any_ atomic after
the barrier, in which case the barrier hasn't got anything to order). We
then also introduce the missing pairing barrier for it.

Also down-grade the barrier to smp_wmb(), this is cheaper for
PowerPC/ARM and doesn't cost anything extra on x86.

And it documents the STARTING vs COMPLETE ordering. Although I've not
been entirely successful in reverse engineering the blk-mq state
machine so there might still be more funnies around timeout vs
requeue.

If I got anything wrong, feel free to educate me by adding comments to
clarify things ;-)

287922eb0b block: defer timeouts to a workqueue
Timer context is not very useful for drivers to perform any meaningful abort

defer it to a workqueue as soon as possible.

Note that while a delayed_work item would seem the right thing here I didn't
dare to use it due to the magic in blk_add_timer that pokes deep into timer
internals.  But maybe this encourages Tejun to add a sensible API for that to
the workqueue API and we'll all be fine in the end :)

0d2602ca30 blk-mq: improve support for shared tags maps
This adds support for active queue tracking, meaning that the
blk-mq tagging maintains a count of active users of a tag set.
This allows us to maintain a notion of fairness between users,
so that we can distribute the tag depth evenly without starving
some users while allowing others to try unfair deep queues.

If sharing of a tag set is detected, each hardware queue will
track the depth of its own queue. And if this exceeds the total
depth divided by the number of active queues, the user is actively
throttled down.

The active queue count is done lazily to avoid bouncing that data
between submitter and completer. Each hardware queue gets marked
active when it allocates its first tag, and gets marked inactive
when 1) the last tag is cleared, and 2) the queue timeout grace
period has passed.

situation where we attempt to complete a request from the
timeout handler when it's not start anymore. This causes a crash.
So have the timeout handler check that REQ_ATOM_STARTED is still
set on the request - if not, we ignore the event. If this happens,
the request has now been marked as complete. As a consequence, we
need to ensure to clear REQ_ATOM_COMPLETE in blk_mq_start_request(),

f793aa5378 block: relax when to modify the timeout timer
Since we are now, by default, applying timer slack to expiry times,
the logic for when to modify a timer in the block code is suboptimal.
The block layer keeps a forward rolling timer per queue for all
requests, and modifies this timer if a request has a shorter timeout
than what the current expiry time is. However, this breaks down
when our rounded timer values get applied slack. Then each new
request ends up modifying the timer, since we're still a little
in front of the timer + slack.

Fix this by allowing a tolerance of HZ / 2, the timeout handling
doesn't need to be very precise. This drastically cuts down
the number of timer modifications we have to make.

RIP  [<ffffffff8124e424>] blk_requeue_request+0x94/0xa0
 RSP <ffff881057eefd60>

The RIP is this line:
        BUG_ON(blk_queued_rq(rq));

After digging through the code, I think there may be a race between the
request completion and the timer handler running.

A timer is started for each request put on the device's queue (see
blk_start_request->blk_add_timer).  If the request does not complete
before the timer expires, the timer handler (blk_rq_timed_out_timer)
will mark the request complete atomically:

static inline int blk_mark_rq_complete(struct request *rq)
{
        return test_and_set_bit(REQ_ATOM_COMPLETE, &rq->atomic_flags);
}

and then call blk_rq_timed_out.  The latter function will call
scsi_times_out, which will return one of BLK_EH_HANDLED,
BLK_EH_RESET_TIMER or BLK_EH_NOT_HANDLED.  If BLK_EH_RESET_TIMER is
returned, blk_clear_rq_complete is called, and blk_add_timer is again
called to simply wait longer for the request to complete.

Now, if the request happens to complete while this is going on, what
happens?  Given that we know the completion handler will bail if it
finds the REQ_ATOM_COMPLETE bit set, we need to focus on the completion
handler running after that bit is cleared.  So, from the above
paragraph, after the call to blk_clear_rq_complete.  If the completion
sets REQ_ATOM_COMPLETE before the BUG_ON in blk_add_timer, we go boom
there (I haven't seen this in the cores).  Next, if we get the
completion before the call to list_add_tail, then the timer will
eventually fire for an old req, which may either be freed or reallocated
(there is evidence that this might be the case).  Finally, if the
completion comes in *after* the addition to the timeout list, I think
it's harmless.  The request will be removed from the timeout list,
req_atom_complete will be set, and all will be well.

This will only actually explain the coredumps *IF* the request
structure was freed, reallocated *and* queued before the error handler
thread had a chance to process it.  That is possible, but it may make
sense to keep digging for another race.  I think that if this is what
was happening, we would see other instances of this problem showing up
as null pointer or garbage pointer dereferences, for example when the
request structure was not re-used.  It looks like we actually do run
into that situation in other reports.

This patch moves the BUG_ON(test_bit(REQ_ATOM_COMPLETE,
&req->atomic_flags)); from blk_add_timer to the only caller that could
trip over it (blk_start_request).  It then inverts the calls to
blk_clear_rq_complete and blk_add_timer in blk_rq_timed_out to address
the race.  I've boot tested this patch, but nothing more.

320ae51fee blk-mq: new multi-queue block IO queueing mechanism
Linux currently has two models for block devices:

- The classic request_fn based approach, where drivers use struct
  request units for IO. The block layer provides various helper
  functionalities to let drivers share code, things like tag
  management, timeout handling, queueing, etc.

- The "stacked" approach, where a driver squeezes in between the
  block layer and IO submitter. Since this bypasses the IO stack,
  driver generally have to manage everything themselves.

With drivers being written for new high IOPS devices, the classic
request_fn based driver doesn't work well enough. The design dates
back to when both SMP and high IOPS was rare. It has problems with
scaling to bigger machines, and runs into scaling issues even on
smaller machines when you have IOPS in the hundreds of thousands
per device.

The stacked approach is then most often selected as the model
for the driver. But this means that everybody has to re-invent
everything, and along with that we get all the problems again
that the shared approach solved.

This commit introduces blk-mq, block multi queue support. The
design is centered around per-cpu queues for queueing IO, which
then funnel down into x number of hardware submission queues.
We might have a 1:1 mapping between the two, or it might be
an N:M mapping. That all depends on what the hardware supports.

blk-mq provides various helper functions, which include:

- Scalable support for request tagging. Most devices need to
  be able to uniquely identify a request both in the driver and
  to the hardware. The tagging uses per-cpu caches for freed
  tags, to enable cache hot reuse.

- Timeout handling without tracking request on a per-device
  basis. Basically the driver should be able to get a notification,
  if a request happens to fail.

- Optional support for non 1:1 mappings between issue and
  submission queues. blk-mq can redirect IO completions to the
  desired location.

- Support for per-request payloads. Drivers almost always need
  to associate a request structure with some driver private
  command structure. Drivers can tell blk-mq this at init time,
  and then any request handed to the driver will have the
  required size of memory associated with it.

- Support for merging of IO, and plugging. The stacked model
  gets neither of these. Even for high IOPS devices, merging
  sequential IO reduces per-command overhead and thus
  increases bandwidth.

For now, this is provided as a potential 3rd queueing model, with
the hope being that, as it matures, it can replace both the classic
and stacked model. That would get us back to having just 1 real
model for block devices, leaving the stacked approach to dm/md
devices (as it was originally intended).

dd48c085c1 fault-injection: add ability to export fault_attr in arbitrary directory
init_fault_attr_dentries() is used to export fault_attr via debugfs.
But it can only export it in debugfs root directory.

Per Forlin is working on mmc_fail_request which adds support to inject
data errors after a completed host transfer in MMC subsystem.

The fault_attr for mmc_fail_request should be defined per mmc host and
export it in debugfs directory per mmc host like
/sys/kernel/debug/mmc0/mmc_fail_request.

init_fault_attr_dentries() doesn't help for mmc_fail_request.  So this
introduces fault_create_debugfs_attr() which is able to create a
directory in the arbitrary directory and replace
init_fault_attr_dentries().

a534dbe96e block: ensure jiffies wrap is handled correctly in blk_rq_timed_out_timer
blk_rq_timed_out_timer() relied on blk_add_timer() never returning a
timer value of zero, but commit 7838c15b8d
removed the code that bumped this value when it was zero.
Therefore when jiffies is near wrap we could get unlucky & not set the
timeout value correctly.

This patch uses a flag to indicate that the timeout value was set and so
handles jiffies wrap correctly, and it keeps all the logic in one
function so should be easier to maintain in the future.

17d5c8ca75 block: fix intermittent dm timeout based oops
Very rarely under stress testing of dm, oopses are occuring as
something tampers with an old stack frame.  This has been traced back
to blk_abort_queue() leaving a timeout_list pointing to the stack.
The reason is that sometimes blk_abort_request() won't delete the
timer (if the request is marked as complete but before the timer has
been removed, a small race window).  Fix this by splicing back from
the ususally empty list to the q->timeout_list.

be987fdb55 block: fix deadlock in blk_abort_queue() for drivers that readd to timeout list
blk_abort_queue() iterates the timeout list and aborts each request on the
list, but if the driver error handling readds a request to the timeout list
during this processing, we could be looping forever. Fix this by splicing
current entries to a local list and run over that list instead.

70ed28b92a block: leave the request timeout timer running even on an empty list
For sync IO, we'll often do them serialized. This means we'll be touching
the queue timer for every IO, as opposed to only occasionally like we
do for queued IO. Instead of deleting the timer when the last request
is removed, just let continue running. If a new request comes up soon
we then don't have to readd the timer again. If no new requests arrive,
the timer will expire without side effect later.

This improves high iops sync IO by ~1%.
