[PATCH -next 1/4] blk-iocost: track whether iocg is still online

[Yu Kuai]

From: Yu Kuai <yukuai3@huawei.com>

blkcg_gq->online can't be used in iocost because it gets cleared only after
all policies are offlined. This patch add a new field 'online' in iocg.

[PATCH -next 2/4] blk-iocost: don't throttle bio if iocg is offlined

[Yu Kuai]

From: Yu Kuai <yukuai3@huawei.com>

bio will grab blkg reference, however, blkcg->online_pin is not grabbed,
hence cgroup can be removed after thread exit while bio is still in
progress. Bypass io in this case since it doesn't make sense to
throttle bio while cgroup is removed.

This patch also prepare to move operations on iocg from ioc_pd_free()
to ioc_pd_offline().

[PATCH -next 3/4] blk-iocost: dispatch all throttled bio in ioc_pd_offline

[Yu Kuai]

From: Yu Kuai <yukuai3@huawei.com>

Currently, if cgroup is removed while some bio is still throttled, such
bio will still wait for timer to dispatch. On the one hand, it
doesn't make sense to throttle bio while cgroup is removed, on the other
hand, this behaviour makes it hard to guarantee the exit order for
iocg(in ioc_pd_free() currently).

This patch make iocg->online updated under both 'ioc->lock' and
'iocg->waitq.lock', so it can be guaranteed that iocg will stay online
while holding any lock. In the meantime, all throttled bio will be
dispatched immediately in ioc_pd_offline().

This patch also prepare to move operations on iocg from ioc_pd_free()
to ioc_pd_offline().

[PATCH -next 4/4] blk-iocost: guarantee the exit order of iocg

[Yu Kuai]

From: Yu Kuai <yukuai3@huawei.com>

pd_offline_fn() is ensured to be called in order(parent after child),
while pd_free_fn() is not. Furthermore, rq_qos_exit() can also be called
before pd_free_fn(). For conclusion, doing cleanups in ioc_pd_free() is
not safe, which can cause many problems. By the way, iocost is the only
policy to do cleanups in pd_free_fn().

Since previous patches guarantee that ioc_pd_offline() will dispatch
throttled bio and prevent new io to be throttled. It's safe to move
cleanup operations for iocg from ioc_pd_free() to ioc_pd_offline().

I don't get it. Why wouldn't that make sense? ISTR some occasions where we
clear the config to mitigate exits stalling for too long but in general a
policy being active on a draining cgroup shouldn't be a problem.

Yeah, idk about this. So, now if you're in a cgroup with IO restriction, you
can create a sub-cgroup shove all the IOs in there and then kill the cgroup
and escape control and do so repeatedly.

The refcnting is rather complicated in blkcg world because it gets pulled
from several different directions but the problem you're trying to address
likely should be addressed through refcnting.

Thanks.

The main reason here for patch 2/3 is for patch 4, since bio can still
reach rq_qos after pd_offline_fn is called.

Currently, it's not consistent and seems messy how different policies
implement pd_alloc/free_fn, pd_online/offline_fn, and pd_init_fn. For
iocost, iocg is exited in pd_free_fn, and parent iocg can exits before
child, which will cause many problems.

Patch 2/3 are not necessary if we don't choose to fix such problems by
exiting iocg in ioc_pd_offline() in patch 4.

I'll try to think about how to use refcnting, either from blkg layer or
add refcnting for iocg.

As I explained in another thread.. pd_offline_fn() can be called without
pd_init_fn(), which is a bug from upper layer...

blkcg_activate_policy
  spin_lock_irq(&q->queue_lock);
  list_for_each_entry_reverse(blkg, &q->blkg_list
   pd_alloc_fn(GFP_NOWAIT | __GFP_NOWARN,...) -> failed

   spin_unlock_irq(&q->queue_lock);
   // release queue_lock here is problematic, this will cause
pd_offline_fn called without pd_init_fn.
   pd_alloc_fn(__GFP_NOWARN,...)

As I explained in another thread.. pd_offline_fn() can be called without
pd_init_fn(), which is a bug from upper layer...

blkcg_activate_policy
  spin_lock_irq(&q->queue_lock);
  list_for_each_entry_reverse(blkg, &q->blkg_list
   pd_alloc_fn(GFP_NOWAIT | __GFP_NOWARN,...) -> failed

   spin_unlock_irq(&q->queue_lock);
   // release queue_lock here is problematic, this will cause
pd_offline_fn called without pd_init_fn.
   pd_alloc_fn(__GFP_NOWARN,...)

Thanks,
