2024-02-28blk-mq: don't change nr_hw_queues and nr_maps for kdump kernelMing Lei
For most of ARCHs, 'nr_cpus=1' is passed for kdump kernel, so nr_hw_queues for each mapping is supposed to be 1 already. More importantly, this way may cause trouble for driver, because blk-mq and driver see different queue mapping since driver should setup hardware queue setting before calling into allocating blk-mq tagset. So not overriding nr_hw_queues and nr_maps for kdump kernel.

2024-02-24block/blk-mq: Don't complete locally if capacities are differentQais Yousef
The logic in blk_mq_complete_need_ipi() assumes SMP systems where all CPUs have equal compute capacities and only LLC cache can make a different on perceived performance. But this assumption falls apart on HMP systems where LLC is shared, but the CPUs have different capacities. Staying local then can have a big performance impact if the IO request was done from a CPU with higher capacity but the interrupt is serviced on a lower capacity CPU. Use the new cpus_equal_capacity() function to check if we need to send an IPI. Without the patch I see the BLOCK softirq always running on little cores (where the hardirq is serviced). With it I can see it running on all cores. This was noticed after the topology change [1] where now on a big.LITTLE we truly get that the LLC is shared between all cores where as in the past it was being misrepresented for historical reasons. The logic exposed a missing dependency on capacities for such systems where there can be a big performance difference between the CPUs. This of course introduced a noticeable change in behavior depending on how the topology is presented. Leading to regressions in some workloads as the performance of the BLOCK softirq on littles can be noticeably worse on some platforms. Worth noting that we could have checked for capacities being greater than or equal instead for equality. This will lead to favouring higher performance always. But opted for equality instead to match the performance of the requester without making an assumption that can lead to power trade-offs which these systems tend to be sensitive about. If the requester would like to run faster, it's better to rely on the scheduler to give the IO requester via some facility to run on a faster core; and then if the interrupt triggered on a CPU with different capacity we'll make sure to match the performance the requester is supposed to run at.

2024-02-24blk-lib: check for kill signalKeith Busch
Some of these block operations can access a significant capacity and take longer than the user expected. A user may change their mind about wanting to run that command and attempt to kill the process and do something else with their device. But since the task is uninterruptable, they have to wait for it to finish, which could be many hours. Check for a fatal signal at each iteration so the user doesn't have to wait for their regretted operation to complete naturally.

2024-02-23block: fix deadlock between bd_link_disk_holder and partition scanLi Nan
'open_mutex' of gendisk is used to protect open/close block devices. But in bd_link_disk_holder(), it is used to protect the creation of symlink between holding disk and slave bdev, which introduces some issues. When bd_link_disk_holder() is called, the driver is usually in the process of initialization/modification and may suspend submitting io. At this time, any io hold 'open_mutex', such as scanning partitions, can cause deadlocks. For example, in raid: T1 T2 bdev_open_by_dev lock open_mutex [1] ... efi_partition ... md_submit_bio md_ioctl mddev_syspend -> suspend all io md_add_new_disk bind_rdev_to_array bd_link_disk_holder try lock open_mutex [2] md_handle_request -> wait mddev_resume T1 scan partition, T2 add a new device to raid. T1 waits for T2 to resume mddev, but T2 waits for open_mutex held by T1. Deadlock occurs. Fix it by introducing a local mutex 'blk_holder_mutex' to replace 'open_mutex'.

2024-02-05block: cache current nsec time in struct blk_plugJens Axboe
Querying the current time is the most costly thing we do in the block layer per IO, and depending on kernel config settings, we may do it many times per IO. None of the callers actually need nsec granularity. Take advantage of that by caching the current time in the plug, with the assumption here being that any time checking will be temporally close enough that the slight loss of precision doesn't matter. If the block plug gets flushed, eg on preempt or schedule out, then we invalidate the cached clock. On a basic peak IOPS test case with iostats enabled, this changes the performance from: IOPS=108.41M, BW=52.93GiB/s, IOS/call=31/31 IOPS=108.43M, BW=52.94GiB/s, IOS/call=32/32 IOPS=108.29M, BW=52.88GiB/s, IOS/call=31/32 IOPS=108.35M, BW=52.91GiB/s, IOS/call=32/32 IOPS=108.42M, BW=52.94GiB/s, IOS/call=31/31 IOPS=108.40M, BW=52.93GiB/s, IOS/call=32/32 IOPS=108.31M, BW=52.89GiB/s, IOS/call=32/31 to IOPS=118.79M, BW=58.00GiB/s, IOS/call=31/32 IOPS=118.62M, BW=57.92GiB/s, IOS/call=31/31 IOPS=118.80M, BW=58.01GiB/s, IOS/call=32/31 IOPS=118.78M, BW=58.00GiB/s, IOS/call=32/32 IOPS=118.69M, BW=57.95GiB/s, IOS/call=32/31 IOPS=118.62M, BW=57.92GiB/s, IOS/call=32/31 IOPS=118.63M, BW=57.92GiB/s, IOS/call=31/32 which is more than a 9% improvement in performance. Looking at perf diff, we can see a huge reduction in time overhead: 10.55% -9.88% [kernel.vmlinux] [k] read_tsc 1.31% -1.22% [kernel.vmlinux] [k] ktime_get Note that since this relies on blk_plug for the caching, it's only applicable to the issue side. But this is where most of the time calls happen anyway. On the completion side, cached time stamping is done with struct io_comp patch, as long as the driver supports it. It's also worth noting that the above testing doesn't enable any of the higher cost CPU items on the block layer side, like wbt, cgroups, iocost, etc, which all would add additional time querying and hence overhead. IOW, results would likely look even better in comparison with those enabled, as distros would do.

Convert any user of ktime_get_ns() to use blk_time_get_ns(), and ktime_get() to blk_time_get(), so we have a unified API for querying the current time in nanoseconds or as ktime.

2024-02-01block: Fix where bio IO priority gets setHongyu Jin
Commit 82b74cac2849 ("blk-ioprio: Convert from rqos policy to direct call") pushed setting bio I/O priority down into blk_mq_submit_bio() -- which is too low within block core's submit_bio() because it skips setting I/O priority for block drivers that implement fops->submit_bio() (e.g. DM, MD, etc). Fix this by moving bio_set_ioprio() up from blk-mq.c to blk-core.c and call it from submit_bio(). This ensures all block drivers call bio_set_ioprio() during initial bio submission.

2024-01-23block: Fix WARNING in _copy_from_iterChristian A. Ehrhardt
Syzkaller reports a warning in _copy_from_iter because an iov_iter is supposedly used in the wrong direction. The reason is that syzcaller managed to generate a request with a transfer direction of SG_DXFER_TO_FROM_DEV. This instructs the kernel to copy user buffers into the kernel, read into the copied buffers and then copy the data back to user space. Thus the iovec is used in both directions. Detect this situation in the block layer and construct a new iterator with the correct direction for the copy-in.

In blk_mq_mark_tag_wait(), __add_wait_queue() may be re-ordered with the following blk_mq_get_driver_tag() in case of getting driver tag failure. Then in __sbitmap_queue_wake_up(), waitqueue_active() may not observe the added waiter in blk_mq_mark_tag_wait() and wake up nothing, meantime blk_mq_mark_tag_wait() can't get driver tag successfully. This issue can be reproduced by running the following test in loop, and fio hang can be observed in < 30min when running it on my test VM in laptop. modprobe -r scsi_debug modprobe scsi_debug delay=0 dev_size_mb=4096 max_queue=1 host_max_queue=1 submit_queues=4 dev=`ls -d /sys/bus/pseudo/drivers/scsi_debug/adapter*/host*/target*/*/block/* | head -1 | xargs basename` fio --filename=/dev/"$dev" --direct=1 --rw=randrw --bs=4k --iodepth=1 \ --runtime=100 --numjobs=40 --time_based --name=test \ --ioengine=libaio Fix the issue by adding one explicit barrier in blk_mq_mark_tag_wait(), which is just fine in case of running out of tag.
