174fd8d369 blkcg: fix incorrect read/write sync/async stat accounting
While unifying how blkcg stats are collected, 77ea733884 ("blkcg:
move io_service_bytes and io_serviced stats into blkcg_gq")
incorrectly used bio->flags instead of bio->rw to tell the IO type.
This made IOs to be accounted as the wrong type.  Fix it.

69d7fde590 blkcg: use CGROUP_WEIGHT_* scale for io.weight on the unified hierarchy
cgroup is trying to make interface consistent across different
controllers.  For weight based resource control, the knob should have
the range [1, 10000] and default to 100.  This patch updates
cfq-iosched so that the weight range conforms.  The internal
calculations have enough range and the widening of the weight range
shouldn't cause any problem.

* blkcg_policy->cpd_bind_fn() is added.  If present, this is invoked
  when blkcg is attached to a hierarchy.

* cfq_cpd_init() is updated to use the new default value on the
  unified hierarchy.

* cfq_cpd_bind() callback is implemented to clear per-blkg configs and
  apply the default config matching the hierarchy type.

* cfqd->root_group->[leaf_]weight initialization in cfq_init_queue()
  is moved into !CONFIG_CFQ_GROUP_IOSCHED block.  cfq_cpd_bind() is
  now responsible for initializing the initial weights when blkcg is
  enabled.

2ee867dcfa blkcg: implement interface for the unified hierarchy
blkcg interface grew to be the biggest of all controllers and
unfortunately most inconsistent too.  The interface files are
inconsistent with a number of cloes duplicates.  Some files have
recursive variants while others don't.  There's distinction between
normal and leaf weights which isn't intuitive and there are a lot of
stat knobs which don't make much sense outside of debugging and expose
too much implementation details to userland.

In the unified hierarchy, everything is always hierarchical and
internal nodes can't have tasks rendering the two structural issues
twisting the current interface.  The interface has to be updated in a
significant anyway and this is a good chance to revamp it as a whole.
This patch implements blkcg interface for the unified hierarchy.

* (from a previous patch) blkcg is identified by "io" instead of
  "blkio" on the unified hierarchy.  Given that the whole interface is
  updated anyway, the rename shouldn't carry noticeable conversion
  overhead.

* The original interface consisted of 27 files is replaced with the
  following three files.

  blkio.stat	: per-blkcg stats
  blkio.weight	: per-cgroup and per-cgroup-queue weight settings
  blkio.max	: per-cgroup-queue bps and iops max limits

Documentation/cgroups/unified-hierarchy.txt updated accordingly.

v2: blkcg_policy->dfl_cftypes wasn't removed on
    blkcg_policy_unregister() corrupting the cftypes list.  Fixed.

36aa9e5f59 blkcg: move body parsing from blkg_conf_prep() to its callers
Currently, blkg_conf_prep() expects input to be of the following form

 MAJ:MIN NUM

and reads the NUM part into blkg_conf_ctx->v.  This is quite
restrictive and gets in the way in implementing blkcg interface for
the unified hierarchy.  This patch updates blkg_conf_prep() so that it
expects

 MAJ:MIN BODY_STR

where BODY_STR is an arbitrary string.  blkg_conf_ctx->v is replaced
with ->body which is a char pointer pointing to the start of BODY_STR.
Parsing of the body is moved to blkg_conf_prep()'s callers.

To allow using, for example, strsep() on blkg_conf_ctx->val, it is a
non-const pointer and to accommodate that const is dropped from @input
too.

This doesn't cause any behavior changes.

c165b3e3c7 blkcg: rename subsystem name from blkio to io
blkio interface has become messy over time and is currently the
largest.  In addition to the inconsistent naming scheme, it has
multiple stat files which report more or less the same thing, a number
of debug stat files which expose internal details which shouldn't have
been part of the public interface in the first place, recursive and
non-recursive stats and leaf and non-leaf knobs.

Both recursive vs. non-recursive and leaf vs. non-leaf distinctions
don't make any sense on the unified hierarchy as only leaf cgroups can
contain processes.  cgroups is going through a major interface
revision with the unified hierarchy involving significant fundamental
usage changes and given that a significant portion of the interface
doesn't make sense anymore, it's a good time to reorganize the
interface.

As the first step, this patch renames the external visible subsystem
name from "blkio" to "io".  This is more concise, matches the other
two major subsystem names, "cpu" and "memory", and better suited as
blkcg will be involved in anything writeback related too whether an
actual block device is involved or not.

As the subsystem legacy_name is set to "blkio", the only userland
visible change outside the unified hierarchy is that blkcg is reported
as "io" instead of "blkio" in the subsystem initialized message during
boot.  On the unified hierarchy, blkcg now appears as "io".

77ea733884 blkcg: move io_service_bytes and io_serviced stats into blkcg_gq
Currently, both cfq-iosched and blk-throttle keep track of
io_service_bytes and io_serviced stats.  While keeping track of them
separately may be useful during development, it doesn't make much
sense otherwise.  Also, blk-throttle was counting bio's as IOs while
cfq-iosched request's, which is more confusing than informative.

This patch adds ->stat_bytes and ->stat_ios to blkg (blkcg_gq),
removes the counterparts from cfq-iosched and blk-throttle and let
them print from the common blkg counters.  The common counters are
incremented during bio issue in blkcg_bio_issue_check().

The outputs are still filtered by whether the policy has
blkg_policy_data on a given blkg, so cfq's output won't show up if it
has never been used for a given blkg.  The only times when the outputs
would differ significantly are when policies are attached on the fly
or elevators are switched back and forth.  Those are quite exceptional
operations and I don't think they warrant keeping separate counters.

v3: Update blkio-controller.txt accordingly.

v2: Account IOs during bio issues instead of request completions so
    that bio-based drivers can be handled the same way.

f12c74cab1 blkcg: make blkg_[rw]stat_recursive_sum() to be able to index into blkcg_gq
Currently, blkg_[rw]stat_recursive_sum() assume that the target
counter is located in pd (blkg_policy_data); however, some counters
are planned to be moved to blkg (blkcg_gq).

This patch updates blkg_[rw]stat_recursive_sum() to take blkg and
blkg_policy pointers instead of pd.  If policy is NULL, it indexes
into blkg.  If non-NULL, into the blkg's pd of the policy.

The existing usages are updated to maintain the current behaviors.

24bdb8ef06 blkcg: make blkcg_[rw]stat per-cpu
blkcg_[rw]stat are used as stat counters for blkcg policies.  It isn't
per-cpu by itself and blk-throttle makes it per-cpu by wrapping around
it.  This patch makes blkcg_[rw]stat per-cpu and drop the ad-hoc
per-cpu wrapping in blk-throttle.

* blkg_[rw]stat->cnt is replaced with cpu_cnt which is struct
  percpu_counter.  This makes syncp unnecessary as remote accesses are
  handled by percpu_counter itself.

* blkg_[rw]stat_init() can now fail due to percpu allocation failure
  and thus are updated to return int.

* percpu_counters need explicit freeing.  blkg_[rw]stat_exit() added.

* As blkg_rwstat->cpu_cnt[] can't be read directly anymore, reading
  and summing results are stored in ->aux_cnt[] instead.

* Custom per-cpu stat implementation in blk-throttle is removed.

This makes all blkcg stat counters per-cpu without complicating policy
implmentations.

e6269c4454 blkcg: add blkg_[rw]stat->aux_cnt and replace cfq_group->dead_stats with it
cgroup stats are local to each cgroup and doesn't propagate to
ancestors by default.  When recursive stats are necessary, the sum is
calculated over all the descendants.  This initially was for backward
compatibility to support both group-local and recursive stats but this
mode of operation makes general sense as stat update is much hotter
thafn reporting those stats.

This however ends up losing recursive stats when a child is removed.
To work around this, cfq-iosched adds its stats to its parent
cfq_group->dead_stats which is summed up together when calculating
recursive stats.

It's planned that the core stats will be moved to blkcg_gq, so we want
to move the mechanism for keeping track of the stats of dead children
from cfq to blkcg core.  This patch adds blkg_[rw]stat->aux_cnt which
are atomic64_t's keeping track of auxiliary counts which are excluded
when reading local counts but included for recursive.

blkg_[rw]stat_merge() which were used by cfq to implement dead_stats
are replaced by blkg_[rw]stat_add_aux(), and cfq now forwards stats of
a dead cgroup to the aux counts of parent->stats instead of separate
->dead_stats.

This will also help making blkg_[rw]stats per-cpu.

ae11889636 blkcg: consolidate blkg creation in blkcg_bio_issue_check()
blkg (blkcg_gq) currently is created by blkcg policies invoking
blkg_lookup_create() which ends up repeating about the same code in
different policies.  Theoretically, this can avoid the overhead of
looking and/or creating blkg's if blkcg is enabled but no policy is in
use; however, the cost of blkg lookup / creation is very low
especially if only the root blkcg is in use which is highly likely if
no blkcg policy is in active use - it boils down to a single very
predictable conditional and surrounding RCU protection.

This patch consolidates blkg creation to a new function
blkcg_bio_issue_check() which is called during bio issue from
generic_make_request_checks().  blkcg_bio_issue_check() is now the
only function which tries to create missing blkg's.  The subsequent
policy and request_list operations just perform blkg_lookup() and if
missing falls back to the root.

* blk_get_rl() no longer tries to create blkg.  It uses blkg_lookup()
  instead of blkg_lookup_create().

* blk_throtl_bio() is now called from blkcg_bio_issue_check() with rcu
  read locked and blkg already looked up.  Both throtl_lookup_tg() and
  throtl_lookup_create_tg() are dropped.

* cfq is similarly updated.  cfq_lookup_create_cfqg() is replaced with
  cfq_lookup_cfqg()which uses blkg_lookup().

This consolidates blkg handling and avoids unnecessary blkg creation
retries under memory pressure.  In addition, this provides a common
bio entry point into blkcg where things like common accounting can be
performed.

v2: Build fixes for !CONFIG_CFQ_GROUP_IOSCHED and
    !CONFIG_BLK_DEV_THROTTLING.

24f290466f blkcg: inline [__]blkg_lookup()
blkg_lookup() checks whether the target queue is bypassing and, if
not, calls __blkg_lookup() which first checks the lookup hint and then
performs radix tree walk.  The operations upto hint checking are

blkg_lookup() and the fast path part of __blkg_lookup().  The radix
tree lookup and hint update are now in blkg_lookup_slowpath().

e4a9bde958 blkcg: replace blkcg_policy->cpd_size with ->cpd_alloc/free_fn() methods
Each active policy has a cpd (blkcg_policy_data) on each blkcg.  The
cpd's were allocated by blkcg core and each policy could request to
allocate extra space at the end by setting blkcg_policy->cpd_size
larger than the size of cpd.

This is a bit unusual but blkg (blkcg_gq) policy data used to be
handled this way too so it made sense to be consistent; however, blkg
policy data switched to alloc/free callbacks.

This patch makes similar changes to cpd handling.
blkcg_policy->cpd_alloc/free_fn() are added to replace ->cpd_size.  As
cpd allocation is now done from policy side, it can simply allocate a
larger area which embeds cpd at the beginning.

As ->cpd_alloc_fn() may be able to perform all necessary
initializations, this patch makes ->cpd_init_fn() optional.

a9520cd6f2 blkcg: make blkcg_policy methods take a pointer to blkcg_policy_data
The newly added ->pd_alloc_fn() and ->pd_free_fn() deal with pd
(blkg_policy_data) while the older ones use blkg (blkcg_gq).  As using
blkg doesn't make sense for ->pd_alloc_fn() and after allocation pd
can always be mapped to blkg and given that these are policy-specific
methods, it makes sense to converge on pd.

This patch makes all methods deal with pd instead of blkg.  Most
conversions are trivial.  In blk-cgroup.c, a couple method invocation
sites now test whether pd exists instead of policy state for
consistency.  This shouldn't cause any behavioral differences.

001bea73e7 blkcg: replace blkcg_policy->pd_size with ->pd_alloc/free_fn() methods
A blkg (blkcg_gq) represents the relationship between a cgroup and
request_queue.  Each active policy has a pd (blkg_policy_data) on each
blkg.  The pd's were allocated by blkcg core and each policy could
request to allocate extra space at the end by setting
blkcg_policy->pd_size larger than the size of pd.

This is a bit unusual but was done this way mostly to simplify error
handling and all the existing use cases could be handled this way;
however, this is becoming too restrictive now that percpu memory can
be allocated without blocking.

This introduces two new mandatory blkcg_policy methods - pd_alloc_fn()
and pd_free_fn() - which are used to allocate and release pd for a
given policy.  As pd allocation is now done from policy side, it can
simply allocate a larger area which embeds pd at the beginning.  This
change makes ->pd_size pointless.  Removed.

4c55f4f9ad blkcg: restructure blkg_policy_data allocation in blkcg_activate_policy()
When a policy gets activated, it needs to allocate and install its
policy data on all existing blkg's (blkcg_gq's).  Because blkg
iteration is protected by a spinlock, it currently counts the total
number of blkg's in the system, allocates the matching number of
policy data on a list and installs them during a single iteration.

This can be simplified by using speculative GFP_NOWAIT allocations
while iterating and falling back to a preallocated policy data on
failure.  If the preallocated one has already been consumed, it
releases the lock, preallocate with GFP_KERNEL and then restarts the
iteration.  This can be a bit more expensive than before but policy
activation is a very cold path and shouldn't matter.

06b285bd11 blkcg: fix blkcg_policy_data allocation bug
e48453c386 ("block, cgroup: implement policy-specific per-blkcg
data") updated per-blkcg policy data to be dynamically allocated.
When a policy is registered, its policy data aren't created.  Instead,
when the policy is activated on a queue, the policy data are allocated
if there are blkg's (blkcg_gq's) which are attached to a given blkcg.
This is buggy.  Consider the following scenario.

1. A blkcg is created.  No blkg's attached yet.

2. The policy is registered.  No policy data is allocated.

3. The policy is activated on a queue.  As the above blkcg doesn't
   have any blkg's, it won't allocate the matching blkcg_policy_data.

4. An IO is issued from the blkcg and blkg is created and the blkcg
   still doesn't have the matching policy data allocated.

With cfq-iosched, this leads to an oops.

It also doesn't free policy data on policy unregistration assuming
that freeing of all policy data on blkcg destruction should take care
of it; however, this also is incorrect.

1. A blkcg has policy data.

2. The policy gets unregistered but the policy data remains.

3. Another policy gets registered on the same slot.

4. Later, the new policy tries to allocate policy data on the previous
   blkcg but the slot is already occupied and gets skipped.  The
   policy ends up operating on the policy data of the previous policy.

There's no reason to manage blkcg_policy_data lazily.  The reason we
do lazy allocation of blkg's is that the number of all possible blkg's
is the product of cgroups and block devices which can reach a
surprising level.  blkcg_policy_data is contrained by the number of
cgroups and shouldn't be a problem.

This patch makes blkcg_policy_data to be allocated for all existing
blkcg's on policy registration and freed on unregistration and removes
blkcg_policy_data handling from policy [de]activation paths.  This
makes that blkcg_policy_data are created and removed with the policy
they belong to and fixes the above described problems.

ce7acfeaf0 writeback, blkcg: associate each blkcg_gq with the corresponding bdi_writeback_congested
A blkg (blkcg_gq) can be congested and decongested independently from
other blkgs on the same request_queue.  Accordingly, for cgroup
writeback support, the congestion status at bdi (backing_dev_info)
should be split and updated separately from matching blkg's.

This patch prepares by adding blkg->wb_congested and associating a
blkg with its matching per-blkcg bdi_writeback_congested on creation.

v2: Updated to associate bdi_writeback_congested instead of
    bdi_writeback.

52ebea749a writeback: make backing_dev_info host cgroup-specific bdi_writebacks
For the planned cgroup writeback support, on each bdi
(backing_dev_info), each memcg will be served by a separate wb
(bdi_writeback).  This patch updates bdi so that a bdi can host
multiple wbs (bdi_writebacks).

On the default hierarchy, blkcg implicitly enables memcg.  This allows
using memcg's page ownership for attributing writeback IOs, and every
memcg - blkcg combination can be served by its own wb by assigning a
dedicated wb to each memcg.  This means that there may be multiple
wb's of a bdi mapped to the same blkcg.  As congested state is per
blkcg - bdi combination, those wb's should share the same congested
state.  This is achieved by tracking congested state via
bdi_writeback_congested structs which are keyed by blkcg.

bdi->wb remains unchanged and will keep serving the root cgroup.
cgwb's (cgroup wb's) for non-root cgroups are created on-demand or
looked up while dirtying an inode according to the memcg of the page
being dirtied or current task.  Each cgwb is indexed on bdi->cgwb_tree
by its memcg id.  Once an inode is associated with its wb, it can be
retrieved using inode_to_wb().

Currently, none of the filesystems has FS_CGROUP_WRITEBACK and all
pages will keep being associated with bdi->wb.

v3: inode_attach_wb() in account_page_dirtied() moved inside
    mapping_cap_account_dirty() block where it's known to be !NULL.
    Also, an unnecessary NULL check before kfree() removed.  Both
    detected by the kbuild bot.

v2: Updated so that wb association is per inode and wb is per memcg
    rather than blkcg.

fd383c2d3c blkcg: implement task_get_blkcg_css()
Implement a wrapper around task_get_css() to acquire the blkcg css for
a given task.  The wrapper is necessary for cgroup writeback support
as there will be places outside blkcg proper trying to acquire
blkcg_css and blkio_cgrp_id will be undefined when !CONFIG_BLK_CGROUP.

496d5e7560 blkcg: add blkcg_root_css
Add global constant blkcg_root_css which points to &blkcg_root.css.
This will be used by cgroup writeback support.  If blkcg is disabled,
it's defined as ERR_PTR(-EINVAL).

v2: The declarations moved to include/linux/blk-cgroup.h as suggested
    by Vivek.

efa7d1c733 update !CONFIG_BLK_CGROUP dummies in include/linux/blk-cgroup.h
The header file will be used more widely with the pending cgroup
writeback support and the current set of dummy declarations aren't
enough to handle different config combinations.  Update as follows.

* Drop the struct cgroup declaration.  None of the dummy defs need it.

* Define blkcg as an empty struct instead of just declaring it.

* Wrap dummy function defs in CONFIG_BLOCK.  Some functions use block
  data types and none of them are to be used w/o block enabled.
