737eb78e82 block: Delay default elevator initialization
When elevator_init_mq() is called from blk_mq_init_allocated_queue(),
the only information known about the device is the number of hardware
queues as the block device scan by the device driver is not completed
yet for most drivers. The device type and elevator required features
are not set yet, preventing to correctly select the default elevator
most suitable for the device.

This currently affects all multi-queue zoned block devices which default
to the "none" elevator instead of the required "mq-deadline" elevator.
These drives currently include host-managed SMR disks connected to a
smartpqi HBA and null_blk block devices with zoned mode enabled.
Upcoming NVMe Zoned Namespace devices will also be affected.

Fix this by adding the boolean elevator_init argument to
blk_mq_init_allocated_queue() to control the execution of
elevator_init_mq(). Two cases exist:
1) elevator_init = false is used for calls to
   blk_mq_init_allocated_queue() within blk_mq_init_queue(). In this
   case, a call to elevator_init_mq() is added to __device_add_disk(),
   resulting in the delayed initialization of the queue elevator
   after the device driver finished probing the device information. This
   effectively allows elevator_init_mq() access to more information
   about the device.
2) elevator_init = true preserves the current behavior of initializing
   the elevator directly from blk_mq_init_allocated_queue(). This case
   is used for the special request based DM devices where the device
   gendisk is created before the queue initialization and device
   information (e.g. queue limits) is already known when the queue
   initialization is executed.

Additionally, to make sure that the elevator initialization is never
done while requests are in-flight (there should be none when the device
driver calls device_add_disk()), freeze and quiesce the device request
queue before calling blk_mq_init_sched() in elevator_init_mq().

226b4fc75c blk-mq: add callback of .cleanup_rq
SCSI maintains its own driver private data hooked off of each SCSI
request, and the pridate data won't be freed after scsi_queue_rq()
returns BLK_STS_RESOURCE or BLK_STS_DEV_RESOURCE. An upper layer driver
(e.g. dm-rq) may need to retry these SCSI requests, before SCSI has
fully dispatched them, due to a lower level SCSI driver's resource
limitation identified in scsi_queue_rq(). Currently SCSI's per-request
private data is leaked when the upper layer driver (dm-rq) frees and
then retries these requests in response to BLK_STS_RESOURCE or
BLK_STS_DEV_RESOURCE returns from scsi_queue_rq().

This usecase is so specialized that it doesn't warrant training an
existing blk-mq interface (e.g. blk_mq_free_request) to allow SCSI to
account for freeing its driver private data -- doing so would add an
extra branch for handling a special case that all other consumers of
SCSI (and blk-mq) won't ever need to worry about.

So the most pragmatic way forward is to delegate freeing SCSI driver
private data to the upper layer driver (dm-rq).  Do so by adding
new .cleanup_rq callback and calling a new blk_mq_cleanup_rq() method
from dm-rq.  A following commit will implement the .cleanup_rq() hook
in scsi_mq_ops.

f9934a80f9 blk-mq: introduce blk_mq_tagset_wait_completed_request()
blk-mq may schedule to call queue's complete function on remote CPU via
IPI, but doesn't provide any way to synchronize the request's complete
fn. The current queue freeze interface can't provide the synchonization
because aborted requests stay at blk-mq queues during EH.

In some driver's EH(such as NVMe), hardware queue's resource may be freed &
re-allocated. If the completed request's complete fn is run finally after the
hardware queue's resource is released, kernel crash will be triggered.

Prepare for fixing this kind of issue by introducing
blk_mq_tagset_wait_completed_request().

Remove the field from struct bio, and return it from a variant of
blk_queue_split instead of that it can passed as an argument to
those functions that need the value.

This also means we stop recounting segments except for cloning
and partial segments.

pointless struct request_queue arguments from any of the functions
that had it and grew a nr_segs argument.

2f8f1336a4 blk-mq: always free hctx after request queue is freed
In normal queue cleanup path, hctx is released after request queue
is freed, see blk_mq_release().

However, in __blk_mq_update_nr_hw_queues(), hctx may be freed because
of hw queues shrinking. This way is easy to cause use-after-free,
because: one implicit rule is that it is safe to call almost all block
layer APIs if the request queue is alive; and one hctx may be retrieved
by one API, then the hctx can be freed by blk_mq_update_nr_hw_queues();
finally use-after-free is triggered.

Fixes this issue by always freeing hctx after releasing request queue.
If some hctxs are removed in blk_mq_update_nr_hw_queues(), introduce
a per-queue list to hold them, then try to resuse these hctxs if numa
node is matched.

1b8f21b74c blk-mq: introduce blk_mq_complete_request_sync()
In NVMe's error handler, follows the typical steps of tearing down
hardware for recovering controller:

1) stop blk_mq hw queues
2) stop the real hw queues
3) cancel in-flight requests via
	blk_mq_tagset_busy_iter(tags, cancel_request, ...)
cancel_request():
	mark the request as abort
	blk_mq_complete_request(req);
4) destroy real hw queues

However, there may be race between #3 and #4, because blk_mq_complete_request()
may run q->mq_ops->complete(rq) remotelly and asynchronously, and
->complete(rq) may be run after #4.

This patch introduces blk_mq_complete_request_sync() for fixing the
above race.

This fixes a hang with srp/002 in blktests with dm, where it tries

e20ba6e1da block: move queues types to the block layer
Having another indirect all in the fast path doesn't really help

going to create confusion, so I'd rather manage them centrally.

Note that the queue type naming and ordering changes a bit - the
first index now is the default queue for everything not explicitly
marked, the optional ones are read and poll queues.

d666ba98f8 blk-mq: add mq_ops->commit_rqs()
blk-mq passes information to the hardware about any given request being
the last that we will issue in this sequence. The point is that hardware
can defer costly doorbell type writes to the last request. But if we run
into errors issuing a sequence of requests, we may never send the request
with bd->last == true set. For that case, we need a hook that tells the
hardware that nothing else is coming right now.

For failures returned by the drivers ->queue_rq() hook, the driver is
responsible for flushing pending requests, if it uses bd->last to
optimize that part. This works like before, no changes there.

6e76871730 blk-mq: dequeue request one by one from sw queue if hctx is busy
It won't be efficient to dequeue request one by one from sw queue,
but we have to do that when queue is busy for better merge performance.

This patch takes the Exponential Weighted Moving Average(EWMA) to figure
out if queue is busy, then only dequeue request one by one from sw queue
when queue is busy.

5815839b3c blk-mq: introduce new lock for protecting hctx->dispatch_wait
Now hctx->lock is only acquired when adding hctx->dispatch_wait to
one wait queue, but not held when removing it from the wait queue.

IO hang can be observed easily if SCHED RESTART is disabled, that means
now RESTART exits just for fixing the issue in blk_mq_mark_tag_wait().

This patch fixes the issue by introducing hctx->dispatch_wait_lock and
holding it for removing hctx->dispatch_wait in blk_mq_dispatch_wake(),
since we need to avoid acquiring hctx->lock in irq context.

1d9bd5161b blk-mq: replace timeout synchronization with a RCU and generation based scheme
Currently, blk-mq timeout path synchronizes against the usual
issue/completion path using a complex scheme involving atomic
bitflags, REQ_ATOM_*, memory barriers and subtle memory coherence
rules.  Unfortunately, it contains quite a few holes.

There's a complex dancing around REQ_ATOM_STARTED and
REQ_ATOM_COMPLETE between issue/completion and timeout paths; however,
they don't have a synchronization point across request recycle
instances and it isn't clear what the barriers add.
blk_mq_check_expired() can easily read STARTED from N-2'th iteration,
deadline from N-1'th, blk_mark_rq_complete() against Nth instance.

In fact, it's pretty easy to make blk_mq_check_expired() terminate a
later instance of a request.  If we induce 5 sec delay before
time_after_eq() test in blk_mq_check_expired(), shorten the timeout to
2s, and issue back-to-back large IOs, blk-mq starts timing out
requests spuriously pretty quickly.  Nothing actually timed out.  It
just made the call on a recycle instance of a request and then
terminated a later instance long after the original instance finished.
The scenario isn't theoretical either.

This patch replaces the broken synchronization mechanism with a RCU
and generation number based one.

1. Each request has a u64 generation + state value, which can be
   updated only by the request owner.  Whenever a request becomes
   in-flight, the generation number gets bumped up too.  This provides
   the basis for the timeout path to distinguish different recycle
   instances of the request.

   Also, marking a request in-flight and setting its deadline are
   protected with a seqcount so that the timeout path can fetch both
   values coherently.

2. The timeout path fetches the generation, state and deadline.  If
   the verdict is timeout, it records the generation into a dedicated
   request abortion field and does RCU wait.

3. The completion path is also protected by RCU (from the previous
   patch) and checks whether the current generation number and state
   match the abortion field.  If so, it skips completion.

4. The timeout path, after RCU wait, scans requests again and
   terminates the ones whose generation and state still match the ones
   requested for abortion.

   By now, the timeout path knows that either the generation number
   and state changed if it lost the race or the completion will yield
   to it and can safely timeout the request.

While it's more lines of code, it's conceptually simpler, doesn't
depend on direct use of subtle memory ordering or coherence, and
hopefully doesn't terminate the wrong instance.

While this change makes REQ_ATOM_COMPLETE synchronization unnecessary
between issue/complete and timeout paths, REQ_ATOM_COMPLETE isn't
removed yet as it's still used in other places.  Future patches will
move all state tracking to the new mechanism and remove all bitops in
the hot paths.

Note that this patch adds a comment explaining a race condition in
BLK_EH_RESET_TIMER path.  The race has always been there and this
patch doesn't change it.  It's just documenting the existing race.

v2: - Fixed BLK_EH_RESET_TIMER handling as pointed out by Jianchao.
    - s/request->gstate_seqc/request->gstate_seq/ as suggested by Peter.
    - READ_ONCE() added in blk_mq_rq_update_state() as suggested by Peter.

v3: - Fixed possible extended seqcount / u64_stats_sync read looping
      spotted by Peter.
    - MQ_RQ_IDLE was incorrectly being set in complete_request instead
      of free_request.  Fixed.

v4: - Rebased on top of hctx_lock() refactoring patch.
    - Added comment explaining the use of hctx_lock() in completion path.

v5: - Added comments requested by Bart.
    - Note the addition of BLK_EH_RESET_TIMER race condition in the
      commit message.

79f720a751 blk-mq: only run the hardware queue if IO is pending
Currently we are inconsistent in when we decide to run the queue. Using
blk_mq_run_hw_queues() we check if the hctx has pending IO before
running it, but we don't do that from the individual queue run function,
blk_mq_run_hw_queue(). This results in a lot of extra and pointless
queue runs, potentially, on flush requests and (much worse) on tag
starvation situations. This is observable just looking at top output,
with lots of kworkers active. For the !async runs, it just adds to the
CPU overhead of blk-mq.

Move the has-pending check into the run function instead of having
callers do it.

eb619fdb2d blk-mq: fix issue with shared tag queue re-running
This patch attempts to make the case of hctx re-running on driver tag
failure more robust. Without this patch, it's pretty easy to trigger a
stall condition with shared tags. An example is using null_blk like
this:

modprobe null_blk queue_mode=2 nr_devices=4 shared_tags=1 submit_queues=1 hw_queue_depth=1

which sets up 4 devices, sharing the same tag set with a depth of 1.
Running a fio job ala:

[global]
bs=4k
rw=randread
norandommap
direct=1
ioengine=libaio
iodepth=4

[nullb0]
filename=/dev/nullb0
[nullb1]
filename=/dev/nullb1
[nullb2]
filename=/dev/nullb2
[nullb3]
filename=/dev/nullb3

will inevitably end with one or more threads being stuck waiting for a
scheduler tag. That IO is then stuck forever, until someone else
triggers a run of the queue.

Ensure that we always re-run the hardware queue, if the driver tag we
were waiting for got freed before we added our leftover request entries
back on the dispatch list.

to handle the request. And it isn't enough to simply call
blk_mq_end_request() to do that if this request is marked as

b24413180f License cleanup: add SPDX GPL-2.0 license identifier to files with no license
Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which
makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license.

By default all files without license information are under the default
license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2.

Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0'
SPDX license identifier.  The SPDX identifier is a legally binding
shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text.

This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and
Philippe Ombredanne.

How this work was done:

Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of
the use cases:
 - file had no licensing information it it.
 - file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it,
 - file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information,

Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases
where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license
had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords.

The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to
a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the
output of two independent scanners (ScanCode & Windriver) producing SPDX
tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne.  Philippe prepared the
base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files.

The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files
assessed.  Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner
results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s)
to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not
immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was:
 - Files considered eligible had to be source code files.
 - Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained >5
   lines of source
 - File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if <5
   lines).

All documentation files were explicitly excluded.

The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license
identifiers to apply.

 - when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was
   considered to have no license information in it, and the top level
   COPYING file license applied.

   For non */uapi/* files that summary was:

   SPDX license identifier                            # files
   ---------------------------------------------------|-------
   GPL-2.0                                              11139

   and resulted in the first patch in this series.

   If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH
   Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0".  Results of that was:

   SPDX license identifier                            # files
   ---------------------------------------------------|-------
   GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note                        930

   and resulted in the second patch in this series.

 - if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one
   of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if
   any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in
   it (per prior point).  Results summary:

   SPDX license identifier                            # files
   ---------------------------------------------------|------
   GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note                       270
   GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                      169
   ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause)    21
   ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause)    17
   LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                      15
   GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                       14
   ((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause)    5
   LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                       4
   LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note                        3
   ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT)              3
   ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT)             1

   and that resulted in the third patch in this series.

 - when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became
   the concluded license(s).

 - when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a
   license but the other didn't, or they both detected different
   licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred.

 - In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file
   resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and
   which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics).

 - When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was
   confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

 - If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier,
   the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later
   in time.

In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the
spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the
source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation
by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from
FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners
disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights.  The
Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so
they are related.

Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets
for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the
files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks
in about 15000 files.

In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have
copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the
correct identifier.

Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual
inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch
version early this week with:
 - a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected
   license ids and scores
 - reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+
   files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct
 - reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license
   was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied
   SPDX license was correct

This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction.  This
worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the
different types of files to be modified.

These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg.  Thomas wrote a script to
parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the
format that the file expected.  This script was further refined by Greg
based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to
distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different
comment types.)  Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to
generate the patches.
