11 years agoblock, aio: batch completion for bios/kiocbs
Kent Overstreet [Wed, 20 Mar 2013 04:09:00 +0000 (15:09 +1100)]
block, aio: batch completion for bios/kiocbs

When completing a kiocb, there's some fixed overhead from touching the
kioctx's ring buffer the kiocb belongs to.  Some newer high end block
devices can complete multiple IOs per interrupt, much like many network
interfaces have been for some time.

This plumbs through infrastructure so we can take advantage of multiple
completions at the interrupt level, and complete multiple kiocbs at the
same time.

Drivers have to be converted to take advantage of this, but it's a simple
change and the next patches will convert a few drivers.

To use it, an interrupt handler (or any code that completes bios or
requests) declares and initializes a struct batch_complete:

struct batch_complete batch;
batch_complete_init(&batch);

Then, instead of calling bio_endio(), it calls
bio_endio_batch(bio, err, &batch). This just adds the bio to a list in
the batch_complete.

At the end, it calls

batch_complete(&batch);

This completes all the bios all at once, building up a list of kiocbs;
then the list of kiocbs are completed all at once.

Also, in order to batch up the kiocbs we have to add a different bio_endio
function to struct bio, that takes a pointer to the batch_complete - this
patch converts the dio code's bio_endio function.  In order to avoid
changing every bio_endio function in the kernel (there are many), we
currently use a union and a flag to indicate what kind of bio endio
function to call.  This is admittedly a hack, but should suffice for now.

For batching to work through say md or dm devices, the md/dm bio_endio
functions would have to be converted, much like the dio code.  That is
left for future patches.

aio: use xchg() instead of completion_lock

So, for sticking kiocb completions on the kioctx ringbuffer, we need a
lock - it unfortunately can't be lockless.

When the kioctx is shared between threads on different cpus and the rate
of completions is high, this lock sees quite a bit of contention - in
terms of cacheline contention it's the hottest thing in the aio subsystem.

That means, with a regular spinlock, we're going to take a cache miss to
grab the lock, then another cache miss when we touch the data the lock
protects - if it's on the same cacheline as the lock, other cpus spinning
on the lock are going to be pulling it out from under us as we're using
it.

So, we use an old trick to get rid of this second forced cache miss - make
the data the lock protects be the lock itself, so we grab them both at
once.

11 years agogeneric dynamic per cpu refcounting
Kent Overstreet [Wed, 20 Mar 2013 04:08:59 +0000 (15:08 +1100)]
generic dynamic per cpu refcounting

This implements a refcount with similar semantics to
atomic_get()/atomic_dec_and_test(), that starts out as just an atomic_t
but dynamically switches to per cpu refcounting when the rate of gets/puts
becomes too high.

It also implements two stage shutdown, as we need it to tear down the
percpu counts.  Before dropping the initial refcount, you must call
percpu_ref_kill(); this puts the refcount in "shutting down mode" and
switches back to a single atomic refcount with the appropriate barriers
(synchronize_rcu()).

It's also legal to call percpu_ref_kill() multiple times - it only returns
true once, so callers don't have to reimplement shutdown synchronization.

For the sake of simplicity/efficiency, the heuristic is pretty simple - it
just switches to percpu refcounting if there are more than x gets in one
second (completely arbitrarily, 4096).

It'd be more correct to count the number of cache misses or something else
more profile driven, but doing so would require accessing the shared ref
twice per get - by just counting the number of gets(), we can stick that
counter in the high bits of the refcount and increment both with a single
atomic64_add().  But I expect this'll be good enough in practice.

reqs_available slots - some (up to about half) might be on other per cpu
lists, unavailable for the current thread.

We size the ringbuffer based on the nr_events userspace passed to
io_setup(), so this is a slight behaviour change - but nr_events wasn't
being used as a hard limit before, it was being rounded up to the next

aio: make aio_read_evt() more efficient, convert to hrtimers

Previously, aio_read_event() pulled a single completion off the ringbuffer
at a time, locking and unlocking each time.  Change it to pull off as many
events as it can at a time, and copy them directly to userspace.

This also fixes a bug where if copying the event to userspace failed,
we'd lose the event.

Also convert it to wait_event_interruptible_hrtimeout(), which
simplifies it quite a bit.

11 years agowait: add wait_event_hrtimeout()

wait: add wait_event_hrtimeout()

Analagous to wait_event_timeout() and friends, this adds
wait_event_hrtimeout() and wait_event_interruptible_hrtimeout().

Note that unlike the versions that use regular timers, these don't return
the amount of time remaining when they return - instead, they return 0 or
-ETIME if they timed out.  because I was uncomfortable with the semantics
of doing it the other way (that I could get it right, anyways).

If the timer expires, there's no real guarantee that expire_time -
current_time would be <= 0 - due to timer slack certainly, and I'm not
sure I want to know the implications of the different clock bases in
hrtimers.

If the timer does expire and the code calculates that the time remaining
is nonnegative, that could be even worse if the calling code then reuses
that timeout.  Probably safer to just return 0 then, but I could imagine
weird bugs or at least unintended behaviour arising from that too.

I came to the conclusion that if other users end up actually needing the
amount of time remaining, the sanest thing to do would be to create a
version that uses absolute timeouts instead of relative.

aio: refcounting cleanup

The usage of ctx->dead was fubar - it makes no sense to explicitly check
it all over the place, especially when we're already using RCU.

Now, ctx->dead only indicates whether we've dropped the initial
refcount. The new teardown sequence is:
set ctx->dead
hlist_del_rcu();
synchronize_rcu();

Now we know no system calls can take a new ref, and it's safe to drop
the initial ref:
put_ioctx();

We also need to ensure there are no more outstanding kiocbs.  This was
done incorrectly - it was being done in kill_ctx(), and before dropping
the initial refcount.  At this point, other syscalls may still be
submitting kiocbs!

Now, we cancel and wait for outstanding kiocbs in free_ioctx(), after
kioctx->users has dropped to 0 and we know no more iocbs could be
submitted.

Kent Overstreet [Wed, 20 Mar 2013 04:08:55 +0000 (15:08 +1100)]
aio: make aio_put_req() lockless

Freeing a kiocb needed to touch the kioctx for three things:

 * Pull it off the reqs_active list
 * Decrementing reqs_active
 * Issuing a wakeup, if the kioctx was in the process of being freed.

This patch moves these to aio_complete(), for a couple reasons:

 * aio_complete() already has to issue the wakeup, so if we drop the
   kioctx refcount before aio_complete does its wakeup we don't have to
   do it twice.
 * aio_complete currently has to take the kioctx lock, so it makes sense
   for it to pull the kiocb off the reqs_active list too.
 * A later patch is going to change reqs_active to include unreaped
   completions - this will mean allocating a kiocb doesn't have to look
   at the ringbuffer. So taking the decrement of reqs_active out of
   kiocb_free() is useful prep work for that patch.

This doesn't really affect cancellation, since existing (usb) code that
implements a cancel function still calls aio_complete() - we just have
to make sure that aio_complete does the necessary teardown for cancelled
kiocbs.

It does affect code paths where we free kiocbs that were never
submitted; they need to decrement reqs_active and pull the kiocb off the
reqs_active list. This occurs in two places: kiocb_batch_free(), which
is going away in a later patch, and the error path in io_submit_one.

Commit 496f2f93b1cc286f5a4f4f9acdc1e5314978683f ("random32: rename
random32 to prandom") renamed random32() and srandom32() to prandom_u32()

net_random() and net_srandom() need to be redefined with prandom_* in

For example, suppose find_next_offset didn't find any available bit, so
there's no purpose to call mk_pid (Wasteful Cpu Cycles).

ipc/sem.c: alternatives to preempt_disable()

ipc/sem.c uses a custom wakeup scheme that relies on preempt_disable().
On -RT, this causes increased latencies and debug warnings.

The patch adds two additional schemes:
- one built around a completion - could be better for -RT kernels
- one built around a spinlock - unfortunately it's broken
- and the current one

My preferred solution would be the spinlock implementation: RT would use
premptible spinlocks, mainline normal spinlocks.  Thus both get the
optimal implementation without any special code in ipc/sem.c.
Unfortunately, I don't see how it could be fixed.

coredump: introduce dump_interrupted()

By discussion with Mandeep.

Change dump_write(), dump_seek() and do_coredump() to check
signal_pending() and abort if it is true.  dump_seek() does this only
before f_op->llseek(), otherwise it relies on dump_write().

We need this change to ensure that the coredump won't delay suspend, and
to ensure it reacts to SIGKILL "quickly enough", a core dump can take a
lot of time.  In particular this can help oom-killer.

We add the new trivial helper, dump_interrupted() to add the comments and
to simplify the potential freezer changes.  Perhaps it will have more
callers.

Ideally it should do try_to_freeze() but then we need the unpleasant
changes in dump_write() and wait_for_dump_helpers().  It is not trivial to
change dump_write() to restart if f_op->write() fails because of
freezing().  We need to handle the short writes, we need to clear
TIF_SIGPENDING (and we can't rely on recalc_sigpending() unless we change
it to check PF_DUMPCORE).  And if the buggy f_op->write() sets
TIF_SIGPENDING we can not distinguish this case from the race with
freeze_task() + __thaw_task().

So we simply accept the fact that the freezer can truncate a core-dump but
at least you can reliably suspend.  Hopefully we can tolerate this
unlikely case and the necessary complications doesn't worth a trouble.
But if we decide to make the coredumping freezable later we can do this on
top of this change.

11 years agocoredump: ensure that SIGKILL always kills the dumping thread
Oleg Nesterov [Wed, 20 Mar 2013 04:08:30 +0000 (15:08 +1100)]
coredump: ensure that SIGKILL always kills the dumping thread

prepare_signal() blesses SIGKILL sent to the dumping process but this
signal can be "lost" anyway.  The problems is, complete_signal() sees
SIGNAL_GROUP_EXIT and skips the "kill them all" logic.  And even if the
dumping process is single-threaded (so the target is always "correct"),
the group-wide SIGKILL is not recorded in task->pending and thus
__fatal_signal_pending() won't be true.  A multi-threaded case has even
more problems.

And even ignoring all technical details, SIGNAL_GROUP_EXIT doesn't look
right to me.  This coredumping process is not exiting yet, it can do a lot
of work dumping the core.

With this patch the dumping process doesn't have SIGNAL_GROUP_EXIT, we set
signal->group_exit_task instead.  This makes signal_group_exit() true and
thus this should equally close the races with exit/exec/stop but allows to
kill the dumping thread reliably.

Notes:
- It is not clear what should we do with ->group_exit_code
  if the dumper was killed, see the next change.

- we need more (hopefully straightforward) changes to ensure
  that SIGKILL actually interrupts the coredump. Basically we
  need to check __fatal_signal_pending() in dump_write() and
  dump_seek().

coredump: only SIGKILL should interrupt the coredumping task

There are 2 well known and ancient problems with coredump/signals, and a
lot of related bug reports:

- do_coredump() clears TIF_SIGPENDING but of course this can't help
  if, say, SIGCHLD comes after that.

  In this case the coredump can fail unexpectedly. See for example
  wait_for_dump_helper()->signal_pending() check but there are other
  reasons.

- At the same time, dumping a huge core on the slow media can take a
  lot of time/resources and there is no way to kill the coredumping
  task reliably. In particular this is not oom_kill-friendly.

This patch tries to fix the 1st problem, and makes the preparation for the
next changes.

We add the new SIGNAL_GROUP_COREDUMP flag set by zap_threads() to indicate
that this process dumps the core.  prepare_signal() checks this flag and
nacks any signal except SIGKILL.

Note that this check tries to be conservative, in the long term we should
probably treat the SIGNAL_GROUP_EXIT case equally but this needs more
discussion.  See marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=120508897917439

Notes:
- recalc_sigpending() doesn't check SIGNAL_GROUP_COREDUMP.
  The patch assumes that dump_write/etc paths should never
  call it, but we can change it as well.

- There is another source of TIF_SIGPENDING, freezer. This
  will be addressed separately.

u64 off; /* from which siginfo to start */
u32 flags;
s32 nr; /* how may siginfos to take */
};

"nr" has type "s32", because ptrace() returns "long", which has 32 bits on
i386 and a negative values is used for errors.

Currently here is only one flag PTRACE_PEEKSIGINFO_SHARED for dumping
signals from process-wide queue.  If this flag is not set, signals are
read from a per-thread queue.

The request PTRACE_PEEKSIGINFO returns a number of dumped signals.  If a
signal with the specified sequence number doesn't exist, ptrace returns
zero.  The request returns an error, if no signal has been dumped.

Errors:
EINVAL - one or more specified flags are not supported or nr is negative
EFAULT - buf or addr is outside your accessible address space.

A result siginfo contains a kernel part of si_code which usually striped,
but it's required for queuing the same siginfo back during restore of
pending signals.

This functionality is required for checkpointing pending signals.  Pedro
Alves suggested using it in "gdb" to peek at pending signals.  gdb already
uses PTRACE_GETSIGINFO to get the siginfo for the signal which was already
dequeued.  This functionality allows gdb to look at the pending signals
which were not reported yet.

The prototype of this code was developed by Oleg Nesterov.

11 years agofat (exportfs): rebuild directory-inode if fat_dget()

fat (exportfs): rebuild directory-inode if fat_dget()

This patch enables rebuilding of directory inodes which are not present in
the cache.This is done by traversing the disk clusters to find the
directory entry of the parent directory and using its i_pos to build the
inode.

The traversal is done by fat_scan_logstart() which is similar to
fat_scan() but matches i_pos values instead of names.fat_scan_logstart()
needs an inode parameter to work, for which a dummy inode is created by
it's caller fat_rebuild_parent().  This dummy inode is destroyed after the
traversal completes.

All this is done  only if the nostale_ro nfs mount option is specified.
