swap_readpage(): avoid blk_wake_io_task() if !synchronous

2019-07-05T02:12:07Z

swap_readpage() sets waiter = bio->bi_private even if synchronous = F, this means that the caller can get the spurious wakeup after return. This can be fatal if blk_wake_io_task() does set_current_state(TASK_RUNNING) after the caller does set_special_state(), in the worst case the kernel can crash in do_task_dead().

mm, swap: fix THP swap out

2019-06-29T08:43:45Z

0-Day test system reported some OOM regressions for several THP (Transparent Huge Page) swap test cases. These regressions are bisected to 6861428921b5 ("block: always define BIO_MAX_PAGES as 256"). In the commit, BIO_MAX_PAGES is set to 256 even when THP swap is enabled. So the bio_alloc(gfp_flags, 512) in get_swap_bio() may fail when swapping out THP. That causes the OOM. As in the patch description of 6861428921b5 ("block: always define BIO_MAX_PAGES as 256"), THP swap should use multi-page bvec to write THP to swap space. So the issue is fixed via doing that in get_swap_bio(). BTW: I remember I have checked the THP swap code when 6861428921b5 ("block: always define BIO_MAX_PAGES as 256") was merged, and thought the THP swap code needn't to be changed. But apparently, I was wrong. I should have done this at that time.

mm/page_io.c: fix polled swap page in

2019-01-04T21:13:48Z

swap_readpage() wants to do polling to bring in pages if asked to, but it doesn't mark the bio as being polled. Additionally, the looping around the blk_poll() check isn't correct - if we get a zero return, we should call io_schedule(), we can't just assume that the bio has completed. The regular bio->bi_private check should be used for that.

block: don't use un-ordered __set_current_state(TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE)

2019-01-02T18:46:03Z

This mostly reverts commit 849a370016a5 ("block: avoid ordered task state change for polled IO"). It was wrongly claiming that the ordering wasn't necessary. The memory barrier _is_ necessary. If something is truly polling and not going to sleep, it's the whole state setting that is unnecessary, not the memory barrier. Whenever you set your state to a sleeping state, you absolutely need the memory barrier. Note that sometimes the memory barrier can be elsewhere. For example, the ordering might be provided by an external lock, or by setting the process state to sleeping before adding yourself to the wait queue list that is used for waking up (where the wait queue lock itself will guarantee that any wakeup will correctly see the sleeping state). But none of those cases were true here. NOTE! Some of the polling paths may indeed be able to drop the state setting entirely, at which point the memory barrier also goes away. (Also note that this doesn't revert the TASK_RUNNING cases: there is no race between a wakeup and setting the process state to TASK_RUNNING, since the end result doesn't depend on ordering).

blkcg: associate a blkg for pages being evicted by swap

2018-12-08T05:26:37Z

A prior patch in this series added blkg association to bios issued by cgroups. There are two other paths that we want to attribute work back to the appropriate cgroup: swap and writeback. Here we modify the way swap tags bios to include the blkg. Writeback will be tackle in the next patch.

block: make blk_poll() take a parameter on whether to spin or not

2018-11-26T15:25:53Z

blk_poll() has always kept spinning until it found an IO. This is fine for SYNC polling, since we need to find one request we have pending, but in preparation for ASYNC polling it can be beneficial to just check if we have any entries available or not. Existing callers are converted to pass in 'spin == true', to retain the old behavior. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe

block: avoid ordered task state change for polled IO

2018-11-19T15:34:49Z

For the core poll helper, the task state setting don't need to imply any atomics, as it's the current task itself that is being modified and we're not going to sleep. For IRQ driven, the wakeup path have the necessary barriers to not need us using the heavy handed version of the task state setting. Reviewed-by: Christoph Hellwig Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe

block: add polled wakeup task helper

2018-11-16T15:34:30Z

If we're polling for IO on a device that doesn't use interrupts, then IO completion loop (and wake of task) is done by submitting task itself. If that is the case, then we don't need to enter the wake_up_process() function, we can simply mark ourselves as TASK_RUNNING. Reviewed-by: Christoph Hellwig Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe
