No. I couldn't found it.
That's why I previously posted RFC Patch:
https://marc.info/?t=15423727791=1=2
I wasn't sure this is a bug in the kernel or not.

Thanks. Now It's clear. It is not a bug in the kernel, but in
userspace if `tail` assumes such
atomicity.

I've never imagined such a difference in echo implementation, thanks.

[Cluster-devel] [PATCH V12 19/20] block: kill QUEUE_FLAG_NO_SG_MERGE

2018-11-25 Thread Ming Lei
Since bdced438acd83ad83a6c ("block: setup bi_phys_segments after splitting"),
physical segment number is mainly figured out in blk_queue_split() for
fast path, and the flag of BIO_SEG_VALID is set there too.

Now only blk_recount_segments() and blk_recalc_rq_segments() use this
flag.

Basically blk_recount_segments() is bypassed in fast path given BIO_SEG_VALID
is set in blk_queue_split().

For another user of blk_recalc_rq_segments():

- run in partial completion branch of blk_update_request, which is an unusual 
case

- run in blk_cloned_rq_check_limits(), still not a big problem if the flag is 
killed
since dm-rq is the only user.

Multi-page bvec is enabled now, not doing S/G merging is rather pointless with 
the
current setup of the I/O path, as it isn't going to save you a significant 
amount
of cycles.

[Cluster-devel] [PATCH V12 17/20] block: always define BIO_MAX_PAGES as 256

2018-11-25 Thread Ming Lei
Now multi-page bvec can cover CONFIG_THP_SWAP, so we don't need to
increase BIO_MAX_PAGES for it.

CONFIG_THP_SWAP needs to split one THP into normal pages and adds
them all to one bio. With multipage-bvec, it just takes one bvec to
hold them all.

[Cluster-devel] [PATCH V12 15/20] block: allow bio_for_each_segment_all() to iterate over multi-page bvec

2018-11-25 Thread Ming Lei
This patch introduces one extra iterator variable to bio_for_each_segment_all(),
then we can allow bio_for_each_segment_all() to iterate over multi-page bvec.

Given it is just one mechannical & simple change on all 
bio_for_each_segment_all()
users, this patch does tree-wide change in one single patch, so that we can
avoid to use a temporary helper for this conversion.

[Cluster-devel] [PATCH V12 13/20] block: loop: pass multi-page bvec to iov_iter

2018-11-25 Thread Ming Lei
iov_iter is implemented on bvec itererator helpers, so it is safe to pass
multi-page bvec to it, and this way is much more efficient than passing one
page in each bvec.

[Cluster-devel] [PATCH V12 09/20] block: use bio_for_each_bvec() to compute multi-page bvec count

2018-11-25 Thread Ming Lei
First it is more efficient to use bio_for_each_bvec() in both
blk_bio_segment_split() and __blk_recalc_rq_segments() to compute how
many multi-page bvecs there are in the bio.

Secondly once bio_for_each_bvec() is used, the bvec may need to be
splitted because its length can be very longer than max segment size,
so we have to split the big bvec into several segments.

Thirdly when splitting multi-page bvec into segments, the max segment
limit may be reached, so the bio split need to be considered under
this situation too.

bio_for_each_bvec() is used for iterating over multi-page bvec for bio
split & merge code.

rq_for_each_bvec() can be used for drivers which may handle the
multi-page bvec directly, so far loop is one perfect use case.

[Cluster-devel] [PATCH V12 02/20] btrfs: look at bi_size for repair decisions

2018-11-25 Thread Ming Lei
From: Christoph Hellwig 

bio_readpage_error currently uses bi_vcnt to decide if it is worth
retrying an I/O.  But the vector count is mostly an implementation
artifact - it really should figure out if there is more than a
single sector worth retrying.  Use bi_size for that and shift by
PAGE_SHIFT.  This really should be blocks/sectors, but given that
btrfs doesn't support a sector size different from the PAGE_SIZE
using the page size keeps the changes to a minimum.

[Cluster-devel] [PATCH V12 06/20] block: rename bvec helpers

2018-11-25 Thread Ming Lei
We will support multi-page bvec soon, and have to deal with
single-page vs multi-page bvec. This patch follows Christoph's
suggestion to rename all the following helpers:

for_each_bvec
bvec_iter_bvec
bvec_iter_len
bvec_iter_page
bvec_iter_offset

into:
for_each_segment
segment_iter_bvec
segment_iter_len
segment_iter_page
segment_iter_offset

so that these helpers named with 'segment' only deal with single-page
bvec, or called segment. We will introduce helpers named with 'bvec'
for multi-page bvec.

bvec_iter_advance() isn't renamed becasue this helper is always operated
on real bvec even though multi-page bvec is supported.

[Cluster-devel] [PATCH V12 07/20] block: introduce multi-page bvec helpers

2018-11-25 Thread Ming Lei
This patch introduces helpers of 'bvec_iter_*' for multi-page bvec
support.

The introduced helpers treate one bvec as real multi-page segment,
which may include more than one pages.

The existed helpers of bvec_iter_* are interfaces for supporting current
bvec iterator which is thought as single-page by drivers, fs, dm and
etc. These introduced helpers will build single-page bvec in flight, so
this way won't break current bio/bvec users, which needn't any change.

Follows some multi-page bvec background:

- bvecs stored in bio->bi_io_vec is always multi-page style

- bvec(struct bio_vec) represents one physically contiguous I/O
  buffer, now the buffer may include more than one page after
  multi-page bvec is supported, and all these pages represented
  by one bvec is physically contiguous. Before multi-page bvec
  support, at most one page is included in one bvec, we call it
  single-page bvec.

- .bv_page of the bvec points to the 1st page in the multi-page bvec

- .bv_offset of the bvec is the offset of the buffer in the bvec

The effect on the current drivers/filesystem/dm/bcache/...:

- almost everyone supposes that one bvec only includes one single
  page, so we keep the sp interface not changed, for example,
  bio_for_each_segment() still returns single-page bvec

- bio_for_each_segment_all() will return single-page bvec too

- during iterating, iterator variable(struct bvec_iter) is always
  updated in multi-page bvec style, and bvec_iter_advance() is kept
  not changed

- returned(copied) single-page bvec is built in flight by bvec
  helpers from the stored multi-page bvec

[Cluster-devel] [PATCH V12 04/20] block: don't use bio->bi_vcnt to figure out segment number

2018-11-25 Thread Ming Lei
It is wrong to use bio->bi_vcnt to figure out how many segments
there are in the bio even though CLONED flag isn't set on this bio,
because this bio may be splitted or advanced.

So always use bio_segments() in blk_recount_segments(), and it shouldn't
cause any performance loss now because the physical segment number is figured
out in blk_queue_split() and BIO_SEG_VALID is set meantime since
bdced438acd83ad83a6c ("block: setup bi_phys_segments after splitting").

[Cluster-devel] [PATCH V12 03/20] block: remove the "cluster" flag

2018-11-25 Thread Ming Lei
From: Christoph Hellwig 

The cluster flag implements some very old SCSI behavior.  As far as I
can tell the original intent was to enable or disable any kind of
segment merging.  But the actually visible effect to the LLDD is that
it limits each segments to be inside a single page, which we can
also affect by setting the maximum segment size and the segment
boundary.

Replace virt boundary with segment boundary limit.

[Cluster-devel] [PATCH V12 01/20] btrfs: remove various bio_offset arguments

2018-11-25 Thread Ming Lei
From: Christoph Hellwig 

The btrfs write path passes a bio_offset argument through some deep
callchains including async offloading.  In the end this is easily
calculatable using page_offset plus the bvec offset for the first
page in the bio, and only actually used by by a single function.
Just move the calculation of the offset there.

[Cluster-devel] [PATCH V12 00/20] block: support multi-page bvec

2018-11-25 Thread Ming Lei
Hi,

This patchset brings multi-page bvec into block layer:

1) what is multi-page bvec?

Multipage bvecs means that one 'struct bio_bvec' can hold multiple pages
which are physically contiguous instead of one single page used in linux
kernel for long time.

2) why is multi-page bvec introduced?

Kent proposed the idea[1] first. 

As system's RAM becomes much bigger than before, and huge page, transparent
huge page and memory compaction are widely used, it is a bit easy now
to see physically contiguous pages from fs in I/O. On the other hand, from
block layer's view, it isn't necessary to store intermediate pages into bvec,
and it is enough to just store the physicallly contiguous 'segment' in each
io vector.

Also huge pages are being brought to filesystem and swap [2][6], we can
do IO on a hugepage each time[3], which requires that one bio can transfer
at least one huge page one time. Turns out it isn't flexiable to change
BIO_MAX_PAGES simply[3][5]. Multipage bvec can fit in this case very well.
As we saw, if CONFIG_THP_SWAP is enabled, BIO_MAX_PAGES can be configured
as much bigger, such as 512, which requires at least two 4K pages for holding
the bvec table.

With multi-page bvec:

- Inside block layer, both bio splitting and sg map can become more
efficient than before by just traversing the physically contiguous
'segment' instead of each page.

- segment handling in block layer can be improved much in future since it
should be quite easy to convert multipage bvec into segment easily. For
example, we might just store segment in each bvec directly in future.

- bio size can be increased and it should improve some high-bandwidth IO
case in theory[4].

- there is opportunity in future to improve memory footprint of bvecs. 

3) how is multi-page bvec implemented in this patchset?

Patch 1 ~ 6 parpares for supporting multi-page bvec. 

Patches 7 ~ 16 implement multipage bvec in block layer:

- put all tricks into bvec/bio/rq iterators, and as far as
drivers and fs use these standard iterators, they are happy
with multipage bvec

- introduce bio_for_each_bvec() to iterate over multipage bvec for 
splitting
bio and mapping sg

- keep current bio_for_each_segment*() to itereate over singlepage bvec 
and
make sure current users won't be broken; especailly, convert to this
new helper prototype in single patch 21 given it is bascially a 
mechanism
conversion

- deal with iomap & xfs's sub-pagesize io vec in patch 13

- enalbe multipage bvec in patch 14 

Patch 17 redefines BIO_MAX_PAGES as 256.

Patch 18 documents usages of bio iterator helpers.

Patch 19~20 kills NO_SG_MERGE.

These patches can be found in the following git tree:

git:  https://github.com/ming1/linux.git  for-4.21-block-mp-bvec-V12

Lots of test(blktest, xfstests, ltp io, ...) have been run with this patchset,
and not see regression.

Thanks Christoph for reviewing the early version and providing very good
suggestions, such as: introduce bio_init_with_vec_table(), remove another
unnecessary helpers for cleanup and so on.

Thanks Chritoph and Omar for reviewing V10/V11, and provides lots of helpful
comments.

V12:
- deal with non-cluster by max segment size & segment boundary limit
- rename bvec helper's name
- revert new change on bvec_iter_advance() in V11
- introduce rq_for_each_bvec()
- use simpler check on enalbing multi-page bvec
- fix Document change

V11:
- address most of reviews from Omar and christoph
- rename mp_bvec_* as segment_* helpers
- remove 'mp' parameter from bvec_iter_advance() and related helpers
- cleanup patch on bvec_split_segs() and blk_bio_segment_split(),
  remove unnecessary checks
- simplify bvec_last_segment()
- drop bio_pages_all()
- introduce dedicated functions/file for handling non-cluser bio for
avoiding checking queue cluster before adding page to bio
- introduce bio_try_merge_segment() for simplifying iomap/xfs page
  accounting code
- Fix Document change

V10:
- no any code change, just add more guys and list into patch's CC list,
as suggested by Christoph and Dave Chinner
V9:
- fix regression on iomap's sub-pagesize io vec, covered by patch 13
V8:
- remove prepare patches which all are merged to linus tree
- rebase on for-4.21/block
- address comments on V7
- add patches of killing NO_SG_MERGE

V7:
- include Christoph and Mike's bio_clone_bioset() patches, which is
  actually prepare patches for multipage bvec
- address Christoph's comments

V6:
- avoid to introduce lots of renaming, follow Jen's suggestion of
using the name of chunk for multipage io vector
- include Christoph's three prepare patches
- decrease stack usage for using
