[PATCHSET v2 block/for-4.3] blkcg: blkcg_policy methods cleanup

[Tejun Heo]

This is v2 of blkcg_policy methods cleanup patchset.  Changes from the
last take [L] are

* Rebased on top of v4.2-rc1 and other pending patches.  v4.2-rc1
  added a patch to add per-blkcg policy data which is allocated by
  blkcg core as per-blkcg_gq policy data was before this patchset
  making the two inconsistent.  I'll follow up with per-blkcg policy
  data update.

This patchset contains assorted cleanups for blkcg_policy methods.

* alloc/free are added.  exit is dropped.

* blk-throttle's async percpu allocation is replaced with direct
  allocation.

* all methods now take blkcg_policy_data instead of blkcg_gq.

Nothing too controversial.

Jens, as we're at the beginning of the 4.2 merge window, I'll ping /
repost this patchset along with other pending patchsets once -rc1
drops.

This patchset contains the following seven patches.

 0001-blkcg-remove-unnecessary-request_list-blkg-NULL-test.patch
 0002-blkcg-use-blkg_free-in-blkcg_init_queue-failure-path.patch
 0003-blkcg-make-blkcg_activate_policy-allow-NULL-pd_init_.patch
 0004-blkcg-replace-blkcg_policy-pd_size-with-pd_alloc-fre.patch
 0005-blk-throttle-remove-asynchrnous-percpu-stats-allocat.patch
 0006-blk-throttle-clean-up-blkg_policy_data-alloc-init-ex.patch
 0007-blkcg-make-blkcg_policy-methods-take-a-pointer-to-bl.patch

0001-0003 are misc cleanups.  0004-0006 add alloc/free methods and
remove blk-throttle's async percpu allocation mechanism.  0007 makes
all methods take blkcg_policy_data.

This patchset is also available in the following git branch.

 git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/cgroup.git review-blkcg-methods-cleanup

and is on top of

  d770e558e219 ("Linux 4.2-rc1")
+ [1] [PATCHSET block/for-4.3] writeback: cgroup writeback updates
+ [2] [PATCHSET v2 block/for-4.3] block, cgroup: make cfq charge async IOs to the appropriate blkcgs

diffstat follows, thanks.

[PATCH 4/7] blkcg: replace blkcg_policy->pd_size with ->pd_alloc/free_fn() methods

[Tejun Heo]

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.

[PATCH 1/7] blkcg: remove unnecessary request_list->blkg NULL test in blk_put_rl()

[Tejun Heo]

Since ec13b1d6f0a0 ("blkcg: always create the blkcg_gq for the root
blkcg"), a request_list always has its blkg associated.  Drop
unnecessary rl->blkg NULL test from blk_put_rl().

[PATCH 2/7] blkcg: use blkg_free() in blkcg_init_queue() failure path

[Tejun Heo]

When blkcg_init_queue() fails midway after creating a new blkg, it
performs kfree() directly; however, this doesn't free the policy data
areas.  Make it use blkg_free() instead.  In turn, blkg_free() is
updated to handle root request_list special case.

While this fixes a possible memory leak, it's on an unlikely failure
path of an already cold path and the size leaked per occurrence is
miniscule too.  I don't think it needs to be tagged for -stable.

[PATCH 3/7] blkcg: make blkcg_activate_policy() allow NULL ->pd_init_fn

[Tejun Heo]

blkg_create() allows NULL ->pd_init_fn() but blkcg_activate_policy()
doesn't.  As both in-kernel policies implement ->pd_init_fn, it
currently doesn't break anything.  Update blkcg_activate_policy() so
that its behavior is consistent with blkg_create().

[PATCH 5/7] blk-throttle: remove asynchrnous percpu stats allocation mechanism

[Tejun Heo]

Because percpu allocator couldn't do non-blocking allocations,
blk-throttle was forced to implement an ad-hoc asynchronous allocation
mechanism for its percpu stats for cases where blkg's (blkcg_gq's) are
allocated from an IO path without sleepable context.

Now that percpu allocator can handle gfp_mask and blkg_policy_data
alloc / free are handled by policy methods, the ad-hoc asynchronous
allocation mechanism can be replaced with direct allocation from
tg_stats_alloc_fn().  Rit it out.

This ensures that an active throtl_grp always has valid non-NULL
->stats_cpu.  Remove checks on it.

[PATCH 6/7] blk-throttle: clean up blkg_policy_data alloc/init/exit/free methods

[Tejun Heo]

With the recent addition of alloc and free methods, things became
messier.  This patch reorganizes them according to the followings.

* ->pd_alloc_fn()

  Responsible for allocation and static initializations - the ones
  which can be done independent of where the pd might be attached.

* ->pd_init_fn()

  Initializations which require the knowledge of where the pd is
  attached.

* ->pd_free_fn()

  The counter part of pd_alloc_fn().  Static de-init and freeing.

This leaves ->pd_exit_fn() without any users.  Removed.

While at it, collapse an one liner function throtl_pd_exit(), which
has only one user, into its user.

[PATCH 7/7] blkcg: make blkcg_policy methods take a pointer to blkcg_policy_data

[Tejun Heo]

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.

While updating per-blkcg policy data handling, I discovered a couple
bugs in policy data handling which should be backported through
-stable.  I'll put those earlier in the series and repost this

I think Jens just applied a bugfix for per-blkcg policy data handling. Please 
have a look at https://lkml.org/lkml/2015/7/6/950. Should have Cc'd you, sorry 
for that.

Thanks,

Yeah, that too but there were a couple more.  Just posted patches to
fix them.  It'd be great if you can go over those.

Thanks!

[PATCHSET block/for-4.2/writeback] blkcg: blkcg_policy methods cleanup

[Tejun Heo]

This patchset contains assorted cleanups for blkcg_policy methods.

* alloc/free are added.  exit is dropped.

* blk-throttle's async percpu allocation is replaced with direct
  allocation.

* all methods now take blkcg_policy_data instead of blkcg_gq.

Nothing too controversial.

Jens, as we're at the beginning of the 4.2 merge window, I'll ping /
repost this patchset along with other pending patchsets once -rc1
drops.

This patchset contains the following seven patches.

 0001-blkcg-remove-unnecessary-request_list-blkg-NULL-test.patch
 0002-blkcg-use-blkg_free-in-blkcg_init_queue-failure-path.patch
 0003-blkcg-make-blkcg_activate_policy-allow-NULL-pd_init_.patch
 0004-blkcg-replace-blkcg_policy-pd_size-with-pd_alloc-fre.patch
 0005-blk-throttle-remove-asynchrnous-percpu-stats-allocat.patch
 0006-blk-throttle-clean-up-blkg_policy_data-alloc-init-ex.patch
 0007-blkcg-make-blkcg_policy-methods-take-a-pointer-to-bl.patch

0001-0003 are misc cleanups.  0004-0006 add alloc/free methods and
remove blk-throttle's async percpu allocation mechanism.  0007 makes
all methods take blkcg_policy_data.

This patchset is also available in the following git branch.

 git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/cgroup.git review-blkcg-methods-cleanup

and is on top of

[1] block/for-4.2/writeback
[2] [PATCHSET block/for-4.2/writeback] block, cgroup: make cfq charge async IOs to the appropriate blkcgs

diffstat follows.  Thanks.

[PATCH 1/7] blkcg: remove unnecessary request_list->blkg NULL test in blk_put_rl()

[Tejun Heo]

Since ec13b1d6f0a0 ("blkcg: always create the blkcg_gq for the root
blkcg"), a request_list always has its blkg associated.  Drop
unnecessary rl->blkg NULL test from blk_put_rl().
