Pull core block layer updates from Jens Axboe: "This is the main pull request for block storage for 4.15-rc1. Nothing out of the ordinary in here, and no API changes or anything like that. Just various new features for drivers, core changes, etc. In particular, this pull request contains: - A patch series from Bart, closing the whole on blk/scsi-mq queue quescing. - A series from Christoph, building towards hidden gendisks (for multipath) and ability to move bio chains around. - NVMe - Support for native multipath for NVMe (Christoph). - Userspace notifications for AENs (Keith). - Command side-effects support (Keith). - SGL support (Chaitanya Kulkarni) - FC fixes and improvements (James Smart) - Lots of fixes and tweaks (Various) - bcache - New maintainer (Michael Lyle) - Writeback control improvements (Michael) - Various fixes (Coly, Elena, Eric, Liang, et al) - lightnvm updates, mostly centered around the pblk interface (Javier, Hans, and Rakesh). - Removal of unused bio/bvec kmap atomic interfaces (me, Christoph) - Writeback series that fix the much discussed hundreds of millions of sync-all units. This goes all the way, as discussed previously (me). - Fix for missing wakeup on writeback timer adjustments (Yafang Shao). - Fix laptop mode on blk-mq (me). - {mq,name} tupple lookup for IO schedulers, allowing us to have alias names. This means you can use 'deadline' on both !mq and on mq (where it's called mq-deadline). (me). - blktrace race fix, oopsing on sg load (me). - blk-mq optimizations (me). - Obscure waitqueue race fix for kyber (Omar). - NBD fixes (Josef). - Disable writeback throttling by default on bfq, like we do on cfq (Luca Miccio). - Series from Ming that enable us to treat flush requests on blk-mq like any other request. This is a really nice cleanup. - Series from Ming that improves merging on blk-mq with schedulers, getting us closer to flipping the switch on scsi-mq again. - BFQ updates (Paolo). - blk-mq atomic flags memory ordering fixes (Peter Z). - Loop cgroup support (Shaohua). - Lots of minor fixes from lots of different folks, both for core and driver code" * 'for-4.15/block' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux-block: (294 commits) nvme: fix visibility of "uuid" ns attribute blk-mq: fixup some comment typos and lengths ide: ide-atapi: fix compile error with defining macro DEBUG blk-mq: improve tag waiting setup for non-shared tags brd: remove unused brd_mutex blk-mq: only run the hardware queue if IO is pending block: avoid null pointer dereference on null disk fs: guard_bio_eod() needs to consider partitions xtensa/simdisk: fix compile error nvme: expose subsys attribute to sysfs nvme: create 'slaves' and 'holders' entries for hidden controllers block: create 'slaves' and 'holders' entries for hidden gendisks nvme: also expose the namespace identification sysfs files for mpath nodes nvme: implement multipath access to nvme subsystems nvme: track shared namespaces nvme: introduce a nvme_ns_ids structure nvme: track subsystems block, nvme: Introduce blk_mq_req_flags_t block, scsi: Make SCSI quiesce and resume work reliably block: Add the QUEUE_FLAG_PREEMPT_ONLY request queue flag ...

block, scsi: Make SCSI quiesce and resume work reliably

2017-11-11T02:53:25Z

The contexts from which a SCSI device can be quiesced or resumed are: * Writing into /sys/class/scsi_device/*/device/state. * SCSI parallel (SPI) domain validation. * The SCSI device power management methods. See also scsi_bus_pm_ops. It is essential during suspend and resume that neither the filesystem state nor the filesystem metadata in RAM changes. This is why while the hibernation image is being written or restored that SCSI devices are quiesced. The SCSI core quiesces devices through scsi_device_quiesce() and scsi_device_resume(). In the SDEV_QUIESCE state execution of non-preempt requests is deferred. This is realized by returning BLKPREP_DEFER from inside scsi_prep_state_check() for quiesced SCSI devices. Avoid that a full queue prevents power management requests to be submitted by deferring allocation of non-preempt requests for devices in the quiesced state. This patch has been tested by running the following commands and by verifying that after each resume the fio job was still running: for ((i=0; i<10; i++)); do ( cd /sys/block/md0/md && while true; do [ "$( sync_action sleep 1 done ) & pids=($!) for d in /sys/class/block/sd*[a-z]; do bdev=${d#/sys/class/block/} hcil=$(readlink "$d/device") hcil=${hcil#../../../} echo 4 > "$d/queue/nr_requests" echo 1 > "/sys/class/scsi_device/$hcil/device/queue_depth" fio --name="$bdev" --filename="/dev/$bdev" --buffered=0 --bs=512 \ --rw=randread --ioengine=libaio --numjobs=4 --iodepth=16 \ --iodepth_batch=1 --thread --loops=$((2**31)) & pids+=($!) done sleep 1 echo "$(date) Hibernating ..." >>hibernate-test-log.txt systemctl hibernate sleep 10 kill "${pids[@]}" echo idle > /sys/block/md0/md/sync_action wait echo "$(date) Done." >>hibernate-test-log.txt done Reported-by: Oleksandr Natalenko References: "I/O hangs after resuming from suspend-to-ram" (https://marc.info/?l=linux-block&m=150340235201348).

fs/mpage.c: fix mpage_writepage() for pages with buffers

2017-10-13T23:18:33Z

When using FAT on a block device which supports rw_page, we can hit BUG_ON(!PageLocked(page)) in try_to_free_buffers(). This is because we call clean_buffers() after unlocking the page we've written. Introduce a new clean_page_buffers() which cleans all buffers associated with a page and call it from within bdev_write_page().

block: replace bi_bdev with a gendisk pointer and partitions index

2017-08-23T18:49:55Z

This way we don't need a block_device structure to submit I/O. The block_device has different life time rules from the gendisk and request_queue and is usually only available when the block device node is open. Other callers need to explicitly create one (e.g. the lightnvm passthrough code, or the new nvme multipathing code). For the actual I/O path all that we need is the gendisk, which exists once per block device. But given that the block layer also does partition remapping we additionally need a partition index, which is used for said remapping in generic_make_request. Note that all the block drivers generally want request_queue or sometimes the gendisk, so this removes a layer of indirection all over the stack.

Pull Writeback error handling updates from Jeff Layton: "This pile represents the bulk of the writeback error handling fixes that I have for this cycle. Some of the earlier patches in this pile may look trivial but they are prerequisites for later patches in the series. The aim of this set is to improve how we track and report writeback errors to userland. Most applications that care about data integrity will periodically call fsync/fdatasync/msync to ensure that their writes have made it to the backing store. For a very long time, we have tracked writeback errors using two flags in the address_space: AS_EIO and AS_ENOSPC. Those flags are set when a writeback error occurs (via mapping_set_error) and are cleared as a side-effect of filemap_check_errors (as you noted yesterday). This model really sucks for userland. Only the first task to call fsync (or msync or fdatasync) will see the error. Any subsequent task calling fsync on a file will get back 0 (unless another writeback error occurs in the interim). If I have several tasks writing to a file and calling fsync to ensure that their writes got stored, then I need to have them coordinate with one another. That's difficult enough, but in a world of containerized setups that coordination may even not be possible. But wait...it gets worse! The calls to filemap_check_errors can be buried pretty far down in the call stack, and there are internal callers of filemap_write_and_wait and the like that also end up clearing those errors. Many of those callers ignore the error return from that function or return it to userland at nonsensical times (e.g. truncate() or stat()). If I get back -EIO on a truncate, there is no reason to think that it was because some previous writeback failed, and a subsequent fsync() will (incorrectly) return 0. This pile aims to do three things: 1) ensure that when a writeback error occurs that that error will be reported to userland on a subsequent fsync/fdatasync/msync call, regardless of what internal callers are doing 2) report writeback errors on all file descriptions that were open at the time that the error occurred. This is a user-visible change, but I think most applications are written to assume this behavior anyway. Those that aren't are unlikely to be hurt by it. 3) document what filesystems should do when there is a writeback error. Today, there is very little consistency between them, and a lot of cargo-cult copying. We need to make it very clear what filesystems should do in this situation. To achieve this, the set adds a new data type (errseq_t) and then builds new writeback error tracking infrastructure around that. Once all of that is in place, we change the filesystems to use the new infrastructure for reporting wb errors to userland. Note that this is just the initial foray into cleaning up this mess. There is a lot of work remaining here: 1) convert the rest of the filesystems in a similar fashion. Once the initial set is in, then I think most other fs' will be fairly simple to convert. Hopefully most of those can in via individual filesystem trees. 2) convert internal waiters on writeback to use errseq_t for detecting errors instead of relying on the AS_* flags. I have some draft patches for this for ext4, but they are not quite ready for prime time yet. This was a discussion topic this year at LSF/MM too.
