The following is a description of a hang in blk_mq_freeze_queue_wait().
The hang happens on attempt to freeze a queue while another task does
queue unfreeze.
The root cause is an incorrect sequence of percpu_ref_resurrect() and
percpu_ref_kill() and as a result those two can be swapped:
CPU#0 CPU#1
---------------- -----------------
q1 = blk_mq_init_queue(shared_tags)
q2 = blk_mq_init_queue(shared_tags):
blk_mq_add_queue_tag_set(shared_tags):
blk_mq_update_tag_set_depth(shared_tags):
list_for_each_entry()
blk_mq_freeze_queue(q1)
> percpu_ref_kill()
> blk_mq_freeze_queue_wait()
blk_cleanup_queue(q1)
blk_mq_freeze_queue(q1)
> percpu_ref_kill()
^^^^^^ freeze_depth can't guarantee the order
blk_mq_unfreeze_queue()
> percpu_ref_resurrect()
> blk_mq_freeze_queue_wait()
^^^^^^ Hang here!!!!
This wrong sequence raises kernel warning:
percpu_ref_kill_and_confirm called more than once on blk_queue_usage_counter_release!
WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 11854 at lib/percpu-refcount.c:336 percpu_ref_kill_and_confirm+0x99/0xb0
But the most unpleasant effect is a hang of a blk_mq_freeze_queue_wait(),
which waits for a zero of a q_usage_counter, which never happens
because percpu-ref was reinited (instead of being killed) and stays in
PERCPU state forever.
How to reproduce:
- "insmod null_blk.ko shared_tags=1 nr_devices=0 queue_mode=2"
- cpu0: python Script.py 0; taskset the corresponding process running on cpu0
- cpu1: python Script.py 1; taskset the corresponding process running on cpu1
Script.py:
------
#!/usr/bin/python3
import os
import sys
while True:
on = "echo 1 > /sys/kernel/config/nullb/%s/power" % sys.argv[1]
off = "echo 0 > /sys/kernel/config/nullb/%s/power" % sys.argv[1]
os.system(on)

In normal queue cleanup path, hctx is released after request queue
is freed, see blk_mq_release().
However, in __blk_mq_update_nr_hw_queues(), hctx may be freed because
of hw queues shrinking. This way is easy to cause use-after-free,
because: one implicit rule is that it is safe to call almost all block
layer APIs if the request queue is alive; and one hctx may be retrieved
by one API, then the hctx can be freed by blk_mq_update_nr_hw_queues();
finally use-after-free is triggered.
Fixes this issue by always freeing hctx after releasing request queue.
If some hctxs are removed in blk_mq_update_nr_hw_queues(), introduce
a per-queue list to hold them, then try to resuse these hctxs if numa
node is matched.

For q->poll_nsec == -1, means doing classic poll, not hybrid poll.
We introduce a new flag BLK_MQ_POLL_CLASSIC to replace -1, which
may make code much easier to read.
Additionally, since val is an int obtained with kstrtoint(), val can be
a negative value other than -1, so return -EINVAL for that case.

Since bdced438ac ("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.

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.
