Stacking driver queue limits are typically bounded exclusively by the
capabilities of the low level devices, not by the stacking driver
itself.
This patch introduces blk_set_stacking_limits() which has more liberal
metrics than the default queue limits function. This allows us to
inherit topology parameters from bottom devices without manually
tweaking the default limits in each driver prior to calling the stacking
function.
Since there is now a clear distinction between stacking and low-level
devices, blk_set_default_limits() has been modified to carry the more
conservative values that we used to manually set in
blk_queue_make_request().

Most of icq management is about to be moved out of cfq into blk-ioc.
This patch prepares for it.
* Move cfqd->icq_list to request_queue->icq_list
* Make request explicitly point to icq instead of through elevator
private data. ->elevator_private[3] is replaced with sub struct elv
which contains icq pointer and priv[2]. cfq is updated accordingly.
* Meaningless clearing of ->elevator_private[0] removed from
elv_set_request(). At that point in code, the field was guaranteed
to be %NULL anyway.
This patch doesn't introduce any functional change.

cic is association between io_context and request_queue. A cic is
linked from both ioc and q and should be destroyed when either one
goes away. As ioc and q both have their own locks, locking becomes a
bit complex - both orders work for removal from one but not from the
other.
Currently, cfq tries to circumvent this locking order issue with RCU.
ioc->lock nests inside queue_lock but the radix tree and cic's are
also protected by RCU allowing either side to walk their lists without
grabbing lock.
This rather unconventional use of RCU quickly devolves into extremely
fragile convolution. e.g. The following is from cfqd going away too
soon after ioc and q exits raced.

The only real hot path here is cic lookup during request
initialization and avoiding extra locking requires very confined use
of RCU. This patch makes cic removal from both ioc and request_queue
perform double-locking and unlink immediately.
* From q side, the change is almost trivial as ioc->lock nests inside
queue_lock. It just needs to grab each ioc->lock as it walks
cic_list and unlink it.
* From ioc side, it's a bit more difficult because of inversed lock
order. ioc needs its lock to walk its cic_list but can't grab the
matching queue_lock and needs to perform unlock-relock dancing.
Unlinking is now wholly done from put_io_context() and fast path is
optimized by using the queue_lock the caller already holds, which is
by far the most common case. If the ioc accessed multiple devices,
it tries with trylock. In unlikely cases of fast path failure, it
falls back to full double-locking dance from workqueue.
Double-locking isn't the prettiest thing in the world but it's *far*
simpler and more understandable than RCU trick without adding any
meaningful overhead.
This still leaves a lot of now unnecessary RCU logics. Future patches
will trim them.
-v2: Vivek pointed out that cic->q was being dereferenced after
cic->release() was called. Updated to use local variable @this_q
instead.

* blk_get_queue() is peculiar in that it returns 0 on success and 1 on
failure instead of 0 / -errno or boolean. Update it such that it
returns %true on success and %false on failure.
* Make sure the caller checks for the return value.
* Separate out __blk_get_queue() which doesn't check whether @q is
dead and put it in blk.h. This will be used later.

cfq allocates per-queue id using ida and uses it to index cic radix
tree from io_context. Move it to q->id and allocate on queue init and
free on queue release. This simplifies cfq a bit and will allow for
further improvements of io context life-cycle management.

Linux allows executing the SG_IO ioctl on a partition or LVM volume, and
will pass the command to the underlying block device. This is
well-known, but it is also a large security problem when (via Unix
permissions, ACLs, SELinux or a combination thereof) a program or user
needs to be granted access only to part of the disk.
This patch lets partitions forward a small set of harmless ioctls;
others are logged with printk so that we can see which ioctls are
actually sent. In my tests only CDROM_GET_CAPABILITY actually occurred.
Of course it was being sent to a (partition on a) hard disk, so it would
have failed with ENOTTY and the patch isn't changing anything in
practice. Still, I'm treating it specially to avoid spamming the logs.
In principle, this restriction should include programs running with
CAP_SYS_RAWIO. If for example I let a program access /dev/sda2 and
/dev/sdb, it still should not be able to read/write outside the
boundaries of /dev/sda2 independent of the capabilities. However, for
now programs with CAP_SYS_RAWIO will still be allowed to send the
ioctls. Their actions will still be logged.
This patch does not affect the non-libata IDE driver. That driver
however already tests for bd != bd->bd_contains before issuing some
ioctl; it could be restricted further to forbid these ioctls even for
programs running with CAP_SYS_ADMIN/CAP_SYS_RAWIO.

The function will then be enhanced to detect partition block devices

struct request_queue is allocated with __GFP_ZERO so its "node" field is
zero before initialization. This causes an oops if node 0 is offline in
the page allocator because its zonelists are not initialized. From Dave
Young's dmesg:

IP: [<ffffffff8111c355>] __alloc_pages_nodemask+0xb5/0x870
and __alloc_pages_nodemask+0xb5 translates to a NULL pointer on
zonelist->_zonerefs.
The fix is to initialize q->node at the time of allocation so the correct
node is passed to the slab allocator later.
Since blk_init_allocated_queue_node() is no longer needed, merge it with
blk_init_allocated_queue().

The <linux/module.h> pretty much brings in the kitchen sink along
with it, so it should be avoided wherever reasonably possible in
terms of being included from other commonly used <linux/something.h>
files, as it results in a measureable increase on compile times.
The worst culprit was probably device.h since it is used everywhere.
This file also had an implicit dependency/usage of mutex.h which was
masked by module.h, and is also fixed here at the same time.
There are over a dozen other headers that simply declare the
struct instead of pulling in the whole file, so follow their lead
and simply make it a few more.
Most of the implicit dependencies on module.h being present by
these headers pulling it in have been now weeded out, so we can
finally make this change with hopefully minimal breakage.

Cleaning up the code a little bit. attempt_plug_merge() traverses the plug
list anyway, we can do the request counting there, so stack size is reduced
a little bit.
The motivation here is I suspect if we should count the requests for each
queue (task could handle multiple disks in the meantime), but my test doesn't
show it's worthy doing. If somebody proves we should do it, below change
will make that more easier.

Commit ae1b1539622fb46e51b4d13b3f9e5f4c713f86ae, block: reimplement
FLUSH/FUA to support merge, introduced a performance regression when
running any sort of fsyncing workload using dm-multipath and certain
storage (in our case, an HP EVA). The test I ran was fs_mark, and it
dropped from ~800 files/sec on ext4 to ~100 files/sec. It turns out
that dm-multipath always advertised flush+fua support, and passed
commands on down the stack, where those flags used to get stripped off.
The above commit changed that behavior:
static inline struct request *__elv_next_request(struct request_queue *q)
{
struct request *rq;
while (1) {
- while (!list_empty(&q->queue_head)) {
+ if (!list_empty(&q->queue_head)) {
rq = list_entry_rq(q->queue_head.next);
- if (!(rq->cmd_flags & (REQ_FLUSH | REQ_FUA)) ||
- (rq->cmd_flags & REQ_FLUSH_SEQ))
- return rq;
- rq = blk_do_flush(q, rq);
- if (rq)
- return rq;
+ return rq;
}
Note that previously, a command would come in here, have
REQ_FLUSH|REQ_FUA set, and then get handed off to blk_do_flush:
struct request *blk_do_flush(struct request_queue *q, struct request *rq)
{
unsigned int fflags = q->flush_flags; /* may change, cache it */
bool has_flush = fflags & REQ_FLUSH, has_fua = fflags & REQ_FUA;
bool do_preflush = has_flush && (rq->cmd_flags & REQ_FLUSH);
bool do_postflush = has_flush && !has_fua && (rq->cmd_flags &
REQ_FUA);
unsigned skip = 0;
...
if (blk_rq_sectors(rq) && !do_preflush && !do_postflush) {
rq->cmd_flags &= ~REQ_FLUSH;
if (!has_fua)
rq->cmd_flags &= ~REQ_FUA;
return rq;
}
So, the flush machinery was bypassed in such cases (q->flush_flags == 0
&& rq->cmd_flags & (REQ_FLUSH|REQ_FUA)).
Now, however, we don't get into the flush machinery at all. Instead,
__elv_next_request just hands a request with flush and fua bits set to
the scsi_request_fn, even if the underlying request_queue does not
support flush or fua.
The agreed upon approach is to fix the flush machinery to allow
stacking. While this isn't used in practice (since there is only one
request-based dm target, and that target will now reflect the flush
flags of the underlying device), it does future-proof the solution, and
make it function as designed.
In order to make this work, I had to add a field to the struct request,
inside the flush structure (to store the original req->end_io). Shaohua
had suggested overloading the union with rb_node and completion_data,
but the completion data is used by device mapper and can also be used by
other drivers. So, I didn't see a way around the additional field.
I tested this patch on an HP EVA with both ext4 and xfs, and it recovers
the lost performance. Comments and other testers, as always, are
appreciated.
Cheers,
Jeff

This moves the FC classes bsg code to the block layer and
makes it a lib so that other classes like iscsi and SAS can use it.
It is helpful because working with the request queue, bios,
creating scatterlists, etc are a pain that the LLD does not
have to worry about with normal IOs and should not have to
worry about for bsg requests.

Thus spake Andrew Morton:
"And I have the usual maintainability whine. If someone comes up to
vmscan.c and sees it calling blk_start_plug(), how are they supposed to
work out why that call is there? They go look at the blk_start_plug()
definition and it is undocumented. I think we can do better than this?"

Axboe and from an earlier attempt by Shaohua Li to document blk-plug.
