| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Commit 4e752f0ab0e8 ("rbd: access snapshot context and mapping size safely") moved ceph_get_snap_context() out of rbd_img_request_create() and into rbd_queue_workfn(), adding a ceph_put_snap_context() to the error path in rbd_queue_workfn(). However, rbd_img_request_create() consumes a ref on snapc, so calling ceph_put_snap_context() after a successful rbd_img_request_create() leads to an extra put. Fix it.

* | null_blk: guarantee device restart in all irq modesArianna Avanzini2015-12-011-12/+15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In single-queue (block layer) mode,the function null_rq_prep_fn stops the device if alloc_cmd fails. Then, once stopped, the device must be restarted on the next command completion, so that the request(s) for which alloc_cmd failed can be requeued. Otherwise the device hangs. Unfortunately, device restart is currently performed only for delayed completions, i.e., in irqmode==2. This fact causes hangs, for the above reasons, with the other irqmodes in combination with single-queue block layer. This commits addresses this issue by making sure that, if stopped, the device is properly restarted for all irqmodes on completions.

* | null_blk: set a separate timer for each commandPaolo Valente2015-12-011-55/+24Star
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | For the Timer IRQ mode (i.e., when command completions are delayed), there is one timer for each CPU. Each of these timers . has a completion queue associated with it, containing all the command completions to be executed when the timer fires; . is set, and a new completion-to-execute is inserted into its completion queue, every time the dispatch code for a new command happens to be executed on the CPU related to the timer. This implies that, if the dispatch of a new command happens to be executed on a CPU whose timer has already been set, but has not yet fired, then the timer is set again, to the completion time of the newly arrived command. When the timer eventually fires, all its queued completions are executed. This way of handling delayed command completions entails the following problem: if more than one command completion is inserted into the queue of a timer before the timer fires, then the expiration time for the timer is moved forward every time each of these completions is enqueued. As a consequence, only the last completion enqueued enjoys a correct execution time, while all previous completions are unjustly delayed until the last completion is executed (and at that time they are executed all together). Specifically, if all the above completions are enqueued almost at the same time, then the problem is negligible. On the opposite end, if every completion is enqueued a while after the previous completion was enqueued (in the extreme case, it is enqueued only right before the timer would have expired), then every enqueued completion, except for the last one, experiences an inflated delay, proportional to the number of completions enqueued after it. In the end, commands, and thus I/O requests, may be completed at an arbitrarily lower rate than the desired one. This commit addresses this issue by replacing per-CPU timers with per-command timers, i.e., by associating an individual timer with each command.

Freeing its memory outside of the release callback is flawed, yet commits 200a6a8be5db ("rbd: don't destroy rbd_dev in device release function") and 8ad42cd0c002 ("rbd: don't have device release destroy rbd_dev") moved rbd_dev_destroy() out to rbd_dev_image_release(). This commit reverts most of that, the key points are: - rbd_dev->dev is initialized in rbd_dev_create(), making it possible to use rbd_dev_destroy() - which is just a put_device() - both before we register with device core and after. - rbd_dev_release() (the release callback) is the only place we kfree(rbd_dev). It's also where we do module_put(), keeping the module unload race window as small as possible. - We pin the module in rbd_dev_create(), but only for mapping rbd_dev-s. Moving image related stuff out of struct rbd_device into another struct which isn't tied with sysfs and device core is long overdue, but until that happens, this will keep rbd module refcount (which users can observe with lsmod) sane.

However, it does not represent the actual 'overcommited' (max) value. The existing code goes to -ENOMEM overcommited case before it updates `->stats.max_used_pages', which hides the reason we went to -ENOMEM in the first place -- we actually used more memory than `->limit_pages': alloced_pages = zs_get_total_pages(meta->mem_pool); if (zram->limit_pages && alloced_pages > zram->limit_pages) { zs_free(meta->mem_pool, handle); ret = -ENOMEM; goto out; } update_used_max(zram, alloced_pages); Which is misleading. User will see -ENOMEM, check `->limit_pages', check `->stats.max_used_pages', which will keep the value BEFORE zram passed `->limit_pages', and see: `->stats.max_used_pages' < `->limit_pages' Move update_used_max() before we do `->limit_pages' check, so that user will see: `->stats.max_used_pages' > `->limit_pages' should the overcommit and -ENOMEM happen.

Note that previously this operation (i.e. setting an invalid algorithm) would result in no algorithm being selected, which means that this represents a small change in the default behaviour. Minchan said: For initializing zram, we need to set up 3 optional parameters in advance. 1. the number of compression streams 2. memory limitation 3. compression algorithm Although user pass completely wrong value to set up for 1 and 2 parameters, it's okay because they have default value so zram will be initialized with the default value (of course, when user passes a wrong value via *echo*, sysfs returns -EINVAL so the user can notice it). But 3 is not consistent with other optional parameters. IOW, if the user passes a wrong value to set up 3 parameter, zram's initialization would fail unlike other optional parameters. So this patch makes them consistent.

Now it is possible to distinguish between true atomic context and callers that are not willing to sleep. The latter should clear __GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM so kswapd will still wake. As clearing __GFP_WAIT behaves differently, there is a risk that people will clear the wrong flags.

They are expected to be high priority and have access one of two watermarks lower than "min" which can be referred to as the "atomic reserve". __GFP_HIGH users get access to the first lower watermark and can be called the "high priority reserve". Over time, callers had a requirement to not block when fallback options were available. Some have abused __GFP_WAIT leading to a situation where an optimisitic allocation with a fallback option can access atomic reserves. This patch uses __GFP_ATOMIC to identify callers that are truely atomic, cannot sleep and have no alternative. High priority users continue to use __GFP_HIGH. __GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM identifies callers that can sleep and are willing to enter direct reclaim. __GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM to identify callers that want to wake kswapd for background reclaim. __GFP_WAIT is redefined as a caller that is willing to enter direct reclaim and wake kswapd for background reclaim. This patch then converts a number of sites o __GFP_ATOMIC is used by callers that are high priority and have memory pools for those requests. GFP_ATOMIC uses this flag. o Callers that have a limited mempool to guarantee forward progress clear __GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM but keep __GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM. bio allocations fall into this category where kswapd will still be woken but atomic reserves are not used as there is a one-entry mempool to guarantee progress. o Callers that are checking if they are non-blocking should use the helper gfpflags_allow_blocking() where possible. This is because checking for __GFP_WAIT as was done historically now can trigger false positives. Some exceptions like dm-crypt.c exist where the code intent is clearer if __GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM is used instead of the helper due to flag manipulations. o Callers that built their own GFP flags instead of starting with GFP_KERNEL and friends now also need to specify __GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM. The first key hazard to watch out for is callers that removed __GFP_WAIT and was depending on access to atomic reserves for inconspicuous reasons. In some cases it may be appropriate for them to use __GFP_HIGH. The second key hazard is callers that assembled their own combination of GFP flags instead of starting with something like GFP_KERNEL. They may now wish to specify __GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM. It's almost certainly harmless if it's missed in most cases as other activity will wake kswapd.

Since the deleting disks was the only reason we had the convoluted "reset_workfn", this patch removes that unnecessary indirection.
