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.

blk-mq: new multi-queue block IO queueing mechanism Linux currently has two models for block devices: - The classic request_fn based approach, where drivers use struct request units for IO. The block layer provides various helper functionalities to let drivers share code, things like tag management, timeout handling, queueing, etc. - The "stacked" approach, where a driver squeezes in between the block layer and IO submitter. Since this bypasses the IO stack, driver generally have to manage everything themselves. With drivers being written for new high IOPS devices, the classic request_fn based driver doesn't work well enough. The design dates back to when both SMP and high IOPS was rare. It has problems with scaling to bigger machines, and runs into scaling issues even on smaller machines when you have IOPS in the hundreds of thousands per device. The stacked approach is then most often selected as the model for the driver. But this means that everybody has to re-invent everything, and along with that we get all the problems again that the shared approach solved. This commit introduces blk-mq, block multi queue support. The design is centered around per-cpu queues for queueing IO, which then funnel down into x number of hardware submission queues. We might have a 1:1 mapping between the two, or it might be an N:M mapping. That all depends on what the hardware supports. blk-mq provides various helper functions, which include: - Scalable support for request tagging. Most devices need to be able to uniquely identify a request both in the driver and to the hardware. The tagging uses per-cpu caches for freed tags, to enable cache hot reuse. - Timeout handling without tracking request on a per-device basis. Basically the driver should be able to get a notification, if a request happens to fail. - Optional support for non 1:1 mappings between issue and submission queues. blk-mq can redirect IO completions to the desired location. - Support for per-request payloads. Drivers almost always need to associate a request structure with some driver private command structure. Drivers can tell blk-mq this at init time, and then any request handed to the driver will have the required size of memory associated with it. - Support for merging of IO, and plugging. The stacked model gets neither of these. Even for high IOPS devices, merging sequential IO reduces per-command overhead and thus increases bandwidth. For now, this is provided as a potential 3rd queueing model, with the hope being that, as it matures, it can replace both the classic and stacked model. That would get us back to having just 1 real model for block devices, leaving the stacked approach to dm/md devices (as it was originally intended).

blk-mq: free hw queue's resource in hctx's release handler Once blk_cleanup_queue() returns, tags shouldn't be used any more, because blk_mq_free_tag_set() may be called. Commit 45a9c9d909b2 ("blk-mq: Fix a use-after-free") fixes this issue exactly. However, that commit introduces another issue. Before 45a9c9d909b2, we are allowed to run queue during cleaning up queue if the queue's kobj refcount is held. After that commit, queue can't be run during queue cleaning up, otherwise oops can be triggered easily because some fields of hctx are freed by blk_mq_free_queue() in blk_cleanup_queue(). We have invented ways for addressing this kind of issue before, such as: 8dc765d438f1 ("SCSI: fix queue cleanup race before queue initialization is done") c2856ae2f315 ("blk-mq: quiesce queue before freeing queue") But still can't cover all cases, recently James reports another such kind of issue: https://marc.info/?l=linux-scsi&m=155389088124782&w=2 This issue can be quite hard to address by previous way, given scsi_run_queue() may run requeues for other LUNs. Fixes the above issue by freeing hctx's resources in its release handler, and this way is safe becasue tags isn't needed for freeing such hctx resource. This approach follows typical design pattern wrt. kobject's release handler.

blk-mq: improve DM's blk-mq IO merging via blk_insert_cloned_request feedback blk_insert_cloned_request() is called in the fast path of a dm-rq driver (e.g. blk-mq request-based DM mpath). blk_insert_cloned_request() uses blk_mq_request_bypass_insert() to directly append the request to the blk-mq hctx->dispatch_list of the underlying queue. 1) This way isn't efficient enough because the hctx spinlock is always used. 2) With blk_insert_cloned_request(), we completely bypass underlying queue's elevator and depend on the upper-level dm-rq driver's elevator to schedule IO. But dm-rq currently can't get the underlying queue's dispatch feedback at all. Without knowing whether a request was issued or not (e.g. due to underlying queue being busy) the dm-rq elevator will not be able to provide effective IO merging (as a side-effect of dm-rq currently blindly destaging a request from its elevator only to requeue it after a delay, which kills any opportunity for merging). This obviously causes very bad sequential IO performance. Fix this by updating blk_insert_cloned_request() to use blk_mq_request_direct_issue(). blk_mq_request_direct_issue() allows a request to be issued directly to the underlying queue and returns the dispatch feedback (blk_status_t). If blk_mq_request_direct_issue() returns BLK_SYS_RESOURCE the dm-rq driver will now use DM_MAPIO_REQUEUE to _not_ destage the request. Whereby preserving the opportunity to merge IO. With this, request-based DM's blk-mq sequential IO performance is vastly improved (as much as 3X in mpath/virtio-scsi testing).

blk-mq: new multi-queue block IO queueing mechanism Linux currently has two models for block devices: - The classic request_fn based approach, where drivers use struct request units for IO. The block layer provides various helper functionalities to let drivers share code, things like tag management, timeout handling, queueing, etc. - The "stacked" approach, where a driver squeezes in between the block layer and IO submitter. Since this bypasses the IO stack, driver generally have to manage everything themselves. With drivers being written for new high IOPS devices, the classic request_fn based driver doesn't work well enough. The design dates back to when both SMP and high IOPS was rare. It has problems with scaling to bigger machines, and runs into scaling issues even on smaller machines when you have IOPS in the hundreds of thousands per device. The stacked approach is then most often selected as the model for the driver. But this means that everybody has to re-invent everything, and along with that we get all the problems again that the shared approach solved. This commit introduces blk-mq, block multi queue support. The design is centered around per-cpu queues for queueing IO, which then funnel down into x number of hardware submission queues. We might have a 1:1 mapping between the two, or it might be an N:M mapping.

blk-mq: Facilitate a shared sbitmap per tagset Some SCSI HBAs (such as HPSA, megaraid, mpt3sas, hisi_sas_v3 ..) support multiple reply queues with single hostwide tags. In addition, these drivers want to use interrupt assignment in pci_alloc_irq_vectors(PCI_IRQ_AFFINITY). However, as discussed in [0], CPU hotplug may cause in-flight IO completion to not be serviced when an interrupt is shutdown. That problem is solved in commit bf0beec0607d ("blk-mq: drain I/O when all CPUs in a hctx are offline"). However, to take advantage of that blk-mq feature, the HBA HW queuess are required to be mapped to that of the blk-mq hctx's; to do that, the HBA HW queues need to be exposed to the upper layer. In making that transition, the per-SCSI command request tags are no longer unique per Scsi host - they are just unique per hctx. As such, the HBA LLDD would have to generate this tag internally, which has a certain performance overhead. However another problem is that blk-mq assumes the host may accept (Scsi_host.can_queue * #hw queue) commands. In commit 6eb045e092ef ("scsi: core: avoid host-wide host_busy counter for scsi_mq"), the Scsi host busy counter was removed, which would stop the LLDD being sent more than .can_queue commands; however, it should still be ensured that the block layer does not issue more than .can_queue commands to the Scsi host. To solve this problem, introduce a shared sbitmap per blk_mq_tag_set, which may be requested at init time. New flag BLK_MQ_F_TAG_HCTX_SHARED should be set when requesting the tagset to indicate whether the shared sbitmap should be used. Even when BLK_MQ_F_TAG_HCTX_SHARED is set, a full set of tags and requests are still allocated per hctx; the reason for this is that if tags and requests were only allocated for a single hctx - like hctx0 - it may break block drivers which expect a request be associated with a specific hctx, i.e. not always hctx0. This will introduce extra memory usage. This change is based on work originally from Ming Lei in [1] and from Bart's suggestion in [2].

block: Disable write plugging for zoned block devices Simultaneously writing to a sequential zone of a zoned block device from multiple contexts requires mutual exclusion for BIO issuing to ensure that writes happen sequentially. However, even for a well behaved user correctly implementing such synchronization, BIO plugging may interfere and result in BIOs from the different contextx to be reordered if plugging is done outside of the mutual exclusion section, e.g. the plug was started by a function higher in the call chain than the function issuing BIOs. Context A Context B | blk_start_plug() | ... | seq_write_zone() | mutex_lock(zone) | bio-0->bi_iter.bi_sector = zone->wp | zone->wp += bio_sectors(bio-0) | submit_bio(bio-0) | bio-1->bi_iter.bi_sector = zone->wp | zone->wp += bio_sectors(bio-1) | submit_bio(bio-1) | mutex_unlock(zone) | return | -----------------------> | seq_write_zone() | mutex_lock(zone) | bio-2->bi_iter.bi_sector = zone->wp | zone->wp += bio_sectors(bio-2) | submit_bio(bio-2) | mutex_unlock(zone) | <------------------------- | | blk_finish_plug() In the above example, despite the mutex synchronization ensuring the correct BIO issuing order 0, 1, 2, context A BIOs 0 and 1 end up being issued after BIO 2 of context B, when the plug is released with blk_finish_plug(). While this problem can be addressed using the blk_flush_plug_list() function (in the above example, the call must be inserted before the zone mutex lock is released), a simple generic solution in the block layer avoid this additional code in all zoned block device user code. The simple generic solution implemented with this patch is to introduce the internal helper function blk_mq_plug() to access the current context plug on BIO submission. This helper returns the current plug only if the target device is not a zoned block device or if the BIO to be plugged is not a write operation. Otherwise, the caller context plug is ignored and NULL returned, resulting is all writes to zoned block device to never be plugged.

blk-mq: new multi-queue block IO queueing mechanism Linux currently has two models for block devices: - The classic request_fn based approach, where drivers use struct request units for IO. The block layer provides various helper functionalities to let drivers share code, things like tag management, timeout handling, queueing, etc. - The "stacked" approach, where a driver squeezes in between the block layer and IO submitter. Since this bypasses the IO stack, driver generally have to manage everything themselves. With drivers being written for new high IOPS devices, the classic request_fn based driver doesn't work well enough. The design dates back to when both SMP and high IOPS was rare. It has problems with scaling to bigger machines, and runs into scaling issues even on smaller machines when you have IOPS in the hundreds of thousands per device. The stacked approach is then most often selected as the model for the driver. But this means that everybody has to re-invent everything, and along with that we get all the problems again that the shared approach solved. This commit introduces blk-mq, block multi queue support. The design is centered around per-cpu queues for queueing IO, which then funnel down into x number of hardware submission queues. We might have a 1:1 mapping between the two, or it might be an N:M mapping. That all depends on what the hardware supports. blk-mq provides various helper functions, which include: - Scalable support for request tagging. Most devices need to be able to uniquely identify a request both in the driver and to the hardware. The tagging uses per-cpu caches for freed tags, to enable cache hot reuse. - Timeout handling without tracking request on a per-device basis. Basically the driver should be able to get a notification, if a request happens to fail. - Optional support for non 1:1 mappings between issue and submission queues. blk-mq can redirect IO completions to the desired location. - Support for per-request payloads. Drivers almost always need to associate a request structure with some driver private command structure. Drivers can tell blk-mq this at init time, and then any request handed to the driver will have the required size of memory associated with it. - Support for merging of IO, and plugging. The stacked model gets neither of these. Even for high IOPS devices, merging sequential IO reduces per-command overhead and thus increases bandwidth. For now, this is provided as a potential 3rd queueing model, with the hope being that, as it matures, it can replace both the classic and stacked model. That would get us back to having just 1 real model for block devices, leaving the stacked approach to dm/md devices (as it was originally intended).
