9491ae4aad mm: don't cap request size based on read-ahead setting
We ran into a funky issue, where someone doing 256K buffered reads saw
128K requests at the device level.  Turns out it is read-ahead capping
the request size, since we use 128K as the default setting.  This
doesn't make a lot of sense - if someone is issuing 256K reads, they
should see 256K reads, regardless of the read-ahead setting, if the
underlying device can support a 256K read in a single command.

This patch introduces a bdi hint, io_pages.  This is the soft max IO
size for the lower level, I've hooked it up to the bdev settings here.
Read-ahead is modified to issue the maximum of the user request size,
and the read-ahead max size, but capped to the max request size on the
device side.  The latter is done to avoid reading ahead too much, if the
application asks for a huge read.  With this patch, the kernel behaves
like the application expects.

a0ac402cfc Don't feed anything but regular iovec's to blk_rq_map_user_iov
In theory we could map other things, but there's a reason that function
is called "user_iov".  Using anything else (like splice can do) just
confuses it.

7fe311302f blk-mq: update hardware and software queues for sleeping alloc
If we end up sleeping due to running out of requests, we should
update the hardware and software queues in the map ctx structure.
Otherwise we could end up having rq->mq_ctx point to the pre-sleep
context, and risk corrupting ctx->rq_list since we'll be
grabbing the wrong lock when inserting the request.

9ffc66941d This adds a new gcc plugin named "latent_entropy". It is designed to
extract as much possible uncertainty from a running system at boot time as
 possible, hoping to capitalize on any possible variation in CPU operation
 (due to runtime data differences, hardware differences, SMP ordering,
 thermal timing variation, cache behavior, etc).
 
 At the very least, this plugin is a much more comprehensive example for
 how to manipulate kernel code using the gcc plugin internals.

overlaps with at least one bad block already stored. If given range to

stored block start is before clear block end.

22dd6d3566 block: invalidate the page cache when issuing BLKZEROOUT
Patch series "fallocate for block devices", v11.

This is a patchset to fix page cache coherency with BLKZEROOUT and
implement fallocate for block devices.

The first patch is a fix to the existing BLKZEROOUT ioctl to invalidate
the page cache if the zeroing command to the underlying device succeeds.
Without this patch we still have the pagecache coherence bug that's been
in the kernel forever.

The second patch changes the internal block device functions to reject
attempts to discard or zeroout that are not aligned to the logical block
size.  Previously, we only checked that the start/len parameters were
512-byte aligned, which caused kernel BUG_ONs for unaligned IOs to 4k-LBA
devices.

The third patch creates an fallocate handler for block devices, wires up
the FALLOC_FL_PUNCH_HOLE flag to zeroing-discard, and connects
FALLOC_FL_ZERO_RANGE to write-same so that we can have a consistent
fallocate interface between files and block devices.  It also allows the
combination of PUNCH_HOLE and NO_HIDE_STALE to invoke non-zeroing discard.

Test cases for the new block device fallocate are now in xfstests as
generic/349-351.

This patch (of 3):

Invalidate the page cache (as a regular O_DIRECT write would do) to avoid
returning stale cache contents at a later time.

0766f788eb latent_entropy: Mark functions with __latent_entropy
The __latent_entropy gcc attribute can be used only on functions and
variables.  If it is on a function then the plugin will instrument it for
gathering control-flow entropy. If the attribute is on a variable then
the plugin will initialize it with random contents.  The variable must
be an integer, an integer array type or a structure with integer fields.

These specific functions have been selected because they are init
functions (to help gather boot-time entropy), are called at unpredictable
times, or they have variable loops, each of which provide some level of
latent entropy.

3932a86b4b cfq: fix starvation of asynchronous writes
While debugging timeouts happening in my application workload (ScyllaDB), I have
observed calls to open() taking a long time, ranging everywhere from 2 seconds -
the first ones that are enough to time out my application - to more than 30
seconds.

The problem seems to happen because XFS may block on pending metadata updates
under certain circumnstances, and that's confirmed with the following backtrace
taken by the offcputime tool (iovisor/bcc):

    ffffffffb90c57b1 finish_task_switch

    ffffffffb97e42b2 entry_SYSCALL_64_fastpath
    00007fb0698162ed [unknown]

Inspecting my run with blktrace, I can see that the xfsaild kthread exhibit very
high "Dispatch wait" times, on the dozens of seconds range and consistent with
the open() times I have saw in that run.

Still from the blktrace output, we can after searching a bit, identify the
request that wasn't dispatched:

  8,0   11      152    81.092472813   804  A  WM 141698288 + 8 <- (8,1) 141696240
  8,0   11      153    81.092472889   804  Q  WM 141698288 + 8 [xfsaild/sda1]
  8,0   11      154    81.092473207   804  G  WM 141698288 + 8 [xfsaild/sda1]
  8,0   11      206    81.092496118   804  I  WM 141698288 + 8 (   22911) [xfsaild/sda1]
  <==== 'I' means Inserted (into the IO scheduler) ===================================>
  8,0    0   289372    96.718761435     0  D  WM 141698288 + 8 (15626265317) [swapper/0]
  <==== Only 15s later the CFQ scheduler dispatches the request ======================>

As we can see above, in this particular example CFQ took 15 seconds to dispatch
this request. Going back to the full trace, we can see that the xfsaild queue
had plenty of opportunity to run, and it was selected as the active queue many
times. It would just always be preempted by something else (example):

  8,0    1        0    81.117912979     0  m   N cfq1618SN / insert_request

where cfq767 is the xfsaild queue and cfq1618 corresponds to one of the ScyllaDB
IO dispatchers.

The requests preempting the xfsaild queue are synchronous requests. That's a
characteristic of ScyllaDB workloads, as we only ever issue O_DIRECT requests.
While it can be argued that preempting ASYNC requests in favor of SYNC is part
of the CFQ logic, I don't believe that doing so for 15+ seconds is anyone's
goal.

Moreover, unless I am misunderstanding something, that breaks the expectation
set by the "fifo_expire_async" tunable, which in my system is set to the
default.

Looking at the code, it seems to me that the issue is that after we make
an async queue active, there is no guarantee that it will execute any request.

When the queue itself tests if it cfq_may_dispatch() it can bail if it sees SYNC
requests in flight. An incoming request from another queue can also preempt it
in such situation before we have the chance to execute anything (as seen in the
trace above).

This patch sets the must_dispatch flag if we notice that we have requests
that are already fifo_expired. This flag is always cleared after
cfq_dispatch_request() returns from cfq_dispatch_requests(), so it won't pin
the queue for subsequent requests (unless they are themselves expired)

Care is taken during preempt to still allow rt requests to preempt us
regardless.

Testing my workload with this patch applied produces much better results.
From the application side I see no timeouts, and the open() latency histogram
generated by systemtap looks much better, with the worst outlier at 131ms:

164c80ed84 blk-throttle: Extend slice if throttle group is not empty
Right now, if slice is expired, we start a new slice. If a bio is
queued, we keep on extending slice by throtle_slice interval (100ms).

This worked well as long as pending timer function got executed with-in
few milli seconds of scheduled time. But looks like with recent changes
in timer subsystem, slack can be much longer depending on the expiry time
of the scheduled timer.

commit 500462a9de ("timers: Switch to a non-cascading wheel")

This means, by the time timer function gets executed, it is possible the
delay from scheduled time is more than 100ms. That means current code
will conclude that existing slice has expired and a new one needs to
be started. New slice will be 100ms by default and that will not be
sufficient to meet rate requirement of group given the bio size and
bio will not be dispatched and we will start a new timer function to
wait. And when that timer expires, same process will repeat and we
will wait again and this can easily be an infinite loop.

Solve this issue by starting a new slice only if throttle gropup is
empty. If it is not empty, that means there should be an active slice
going on. Ideally it should not be expired but given the slack, it is
possible that it has expired.

4e68a01142 blk-mq: don't redistribute hardware queues on a CPU hotplug event
Currently blk-mq will totally remap hardware context when a CPU hotplug
even happened, which causes major havoc for drivers, as they are never
told about this remapping.  E.g. any carefully sorted out CPU affinity
will just be completely messed up.

The rebuild also doesn't really help for the common case of cpu
hotplug, which is soft onlining / offlining of cpus - in this case we
should just leave the queue and irq mapping as is.  If it actually
worked it would have helped in the case of physical cpu hotplug,
although for that we'd need a way to actually notify the driver.
Note that drivers may already be able to accommodate such a topology
change on their own, e.g. using the reset_controller sysfs file in NVMe
will cause the driver to get things right for this case.

With the rebuild removed we will simplify retain the queue mapping for
a soft offlined CPU that will work when it comes back online, and will
map any newly onlined CPU to queue 0 until the driver initiates
a rebuild of the queue map.

__blk_mq_run_hw_queue() currently warns if we are running the queue on a

being offlined, and the workqueue handling will place the work on CPU0
instead. Improve the warning so that it only triggers if the batch cpu

case, then it's indicative of a flow problem in blk-mq, so we want to
