10 daysblock: fix race between wbt_enable_default and IO submissionMing Lei
When wbt_enable_default() is moved out of queue freezing in elevator_change(), it can cause the wbt inflight counter to become negative (-1), leading to hung tasks in the writeback path. Tasks get stuck in wbt_wait() because the counter is in an inconsistent state. The issue occurs because wbt_enable_default() could race with IO submission, allowing the counter to be decremented before proper initialization. This manifests as: rq_wait[0]: inflight: -1 has_waiters: True rwb_enabled() checks the state, which can be updated exactly between wbt_wait() (rq_qos_throttle()) and wbt_track()(rq_qos_track()), then the inflight counter will become negative. And results in hung task warnings like: task:kworker/u24:39 state:D stack:0 pid:14767 Call Trace: rq_qos_wait+0xb4/0x150 wbt_wait+0xa9/0x100 __rq_qos_throttle+0x24/0x40 blk_mq_submit_bio+0x672/0x7b0 ... Fix this by: 1. Splitting wbt_enable_default() into: - __wbt_enable_default(): Returns true if wbt_init() should be called - wbt_enable_default(): Wrapper for existing callers (no init) - wbt_init_enable_default(): New function that checks and inits WBT 2. Using wbt_init_enable_default() in blk_register_queue() to ensure proper initialization during queue registration 3. Move wbt_init() out of wbt_enable_default() which is only for enabling disabled wbt from bfq and iocost, and wbt_init() isn't needed. Then the original lock warning can be avoided. 4. Removing the ELEVATOR_FLAG_ENABLE_WBT_ON_EXIT flag and its handling code since it's no longer needed This ensures WBT is properly initialized before any IO can be submitted, preventing the counter from going negative.

2025-11-13block: move elevator tags into struct elevator_resourcesNilay Shroff
This patch introduces a new structure, struct elevator_resources, to group together all elevator-related resources that share the same lifetime. As a first step, this change moves the elevator tag pointer from struct elv_change_ctx into the new struct elevator_resources. Additionally, rename blk_mq_alloc_sched_tags_batch() and blk_mq_free_sched_tags_batch() to blk_mq_alloc_sched_res_batch() and blk_mq_free_sched_res_batch(), respectively. Introduce two new wrapper helpers, blk_mq_alloc_sched_res() and blk_mq_free_sched_res(), around blk_mq_alloc_sched_tags() and blk_mq_free_sched_tags(). These changes pave the way for consolidating the allocation and freeing of elevator-specific resources into common helper functions. This refactoring improves encapsulation and prepares the code for future extensions, allowing additional elevator-specific data to be added to struct elevator_resources without cluttering struct elv_change_ctx. Subsequent patches will extend struct elevator_resources to include other elevator-related data.

2025-11-13block: unify elevator tags and type xarrays into struct elv_change_ctxNilay Shroff
Currently, the nr_hw_queues update path manages two disjoint xarrays — one for elevator tags and another for elevator type — both used during elevator switching. Maintaining these two parallel structures for the same purpose adds unnecessary complexity and potential for mismatched state. This patch unifies both xarrays into a single structure, struct elv_change_ctx, which holds all per-queue elevator change context. A single xarray, named elv_tbl, now maps each queue (q->id) in a tagset to its corresponding elv_change_ctx entry, encapsulating the elevator tags, type and name references. This unification simplifies the code, improves maintainability, and clarifies ownership of per-queue elevator state.

2025-07-30block: fix potential deadlock while running nr_hw_queue updateNilay Shroff
Move scheduler tags (sched_tags) allocation and deallocation outside both the ->elevator_lock and ->freeze_lock when updating nr_hw_queues. This change breaks the dependency chain from the percpu allocator lock to the elevator lock, helping to prevent potential deadlocks, as observed in the reported lockdep splat[1]. This commit introduces batch allocation and deallocation helpers for sched_tags, which are now used from within __blk_mq_update_nr_hw_queues routine while iterating through the tagset. With this change, all sched_tags memory management is handled entirely outside the ->elevator_lock and the ->freeze_lock context, thereby eliminating the lock dependency that could otherwise manifest during nr_hw_queues updates.

2025-07-30block: fix lockdep warning caused by lock dependency in elv_iosched_storeNilay Shroff
Recent lockdep reports [1] have revealed a potential deadlock caused by a lock dependency between the percpu allocator lock and the elevator lock. This issue can be avoided by ensuring that the allocation and release of scheduler tags (sched_tags) are performed outside the elevator lock. Furthermore, the queue does not need to be remain frozen during these operations. To address this, move all sched_tags allocations and deallocations outside of both the ->elevator_lock and the ->freeze_lock. Since the lifetime of the elevator queue and its associated sched_tags is closely tied, the allocated sched_tags are now stored in the elevator queue structure. Then, during the actual elevator switch (which runs under ->freeze_lock and ->elevator_lock), the pre-allocated sched_tags are assigned to the appropriate q->hctx. Once the elevator switch is complete and the locks are released, the old elevator queue and its associated sched_tags are freed. This commit specifically addresses the allocation/deallocation of sched_ tags during elevator switching. Note that sched_tags may also be allocated in other contexts, such as during nr_hw_queues updates. Supporting that use case will require batch allocation/deallocation, which will be handled in a follow-up patch. This restructuring ensures that sched_tags memory management occurs entirely outside of the ->elevator_lock and ->freeze_lock context, eliminating the lock dependency problem seen during scheduler updates.

In preparation for allocating sched_tags before freezing the request queue and acquiring ->elevator_lock, move the elevator queue allocation logic from the elevator ops ->init_sched callback into blk_mq_init_sched. As elevator_alloc is now only invoked from block layer core, we don't need to export it, so unexport elevator_alloc function.

The elevator switch code would first exit old elevator (elevator_exit) and then switches to the new elevator. The elevator_exit loops through each hctx and invokes the elevator’s per-hctx exit method ->exit_hctx(), which releases resources allocated during ->init_hctx(). This memleak manifests when we reduce the num of h/w queues - for example, when the initial update sets the number of queues to X, and a later update reduces it to Y, where Y < X. In this case, we'd loose the access to old hctxs while we get to elevator exit code because __blk_mq_realloc_hw_ctxs would have already released the old hctxs. As we don't now have any reference left to the old hctxs, we don't have any way to free the scheduler resources (which are allocate in ->init_hctx()) and kmemleak complains about it. This issue was caused due to the commit 596dce110b7d ("block: simplify elevator reattachment for updating nr_hw_queues"). That change unified the two-stage elevator teardown and reattachment into a single call that occurs after __blk_mq_realloc_hw_ctxs() has already freed the hctxs. This patch restores the previous two-stage elevator switch logic during nr_hw_queues updates. First, the elevator is switched to 'none', which ensures all scheduler resources are properly freed. Then, the hardware contexts (hctxs) are reallocated, and the software-to-hardware queue mappings are updated. Finally, the original elevator is reattached. This sequence prevents loss of references to old hctxs and avoids the scheduler resource leaks reported by kmemleak.

2025-07-20block: fix module reference leak in mq-deadline I/O schedulerNilay Shroff
During probe, when the block layer registers a request queue, it defaults to the mq-deadline I/O scheduler if the device is single-queue and the mq-deadline module is available. To determine availability, the elevator_set_default() invokes elevator_find_get(), which increments the module's reference count. However, this reference is never released, resulting in a module reference leak that prevents the mq-deadline module from being unloaded.

2025-05-15block: fix elv_update_nr_hw_queues() to reattach elevatorNilay Shroff
When nr_hw_queues is updated, the elevator needs to be switched to ensure that we exit elevator and reattach it to ensure that hctx-> sched_tags is correctly allocated for the new hardware queues. However, elv_update_nr_hw_queues() currently only switches the elevator if the queue is not registered. This is incorrect, as it prevents reattaching the elevator after updating nr_hw_queues, which in turn inhibits allocation of sched_tags.

Elevator change is one well-define behavior: - tear down current elevator if it exists - setup new elevator It is supposed to cover any case for changing elevator by single internal API, typically the following cases: - setup default elevator in add_disk() - switch to none in del_disk() - reset elevator in blk_mq_update_nr_hw_queues() - switch elevator in sysfs `store` elevator attribute This patch uses elevator_change() to cover all above cases: - every elevator switch is serialized with each other: add_disk/del_disk/ store elevator is serialized already, blk_mq_update_nr_hw_queues() uses srcu for syncing with the other three cases - for both add_disk()/del_disk(), queue freeze works at atomic mode or has been froze, so the freeze in elevator_change() won't add extra delay - `struct elev_change_ctx` instance holds any info for changing elevator Reviewed-by: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de> Reviewed-by: Nilay Shroff <nilay@linux.ibm.com> Reviewed-by: Hannes Reinecke <hare@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Ming Lei <ming.lei@redhat.com> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20250505141805.2751237-17-ming.lei@redhat.com Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@kernel.dk>

2025-03-10block: introduce a dedicated lock for protecting queue elevator updatesNilay Shroff
A queue's elevator can be updated either when modifying nr_hw_queues or through the sysfs scheduler attribute. Currently, elevator switching/ updating is protected using q->sysfs_lock, but this has led to lockdep splats[1] due to inconsistent lock ordering between q->sysfs_lock and the freeze-lock in multiple block layer call sites. As the scope of q->sysfs_lock is not well-defined, its (mis)use has resulted in numerous lockdep warnings. To address this, introduce a new q->elevator_lock, dedicated specifically for protecting elevator switches/updates. And we'd now use this new q->elevator_lock instead of q->sysfs_lock for protecting elevator switches/updates. While at it, make elv_iosched_load_module() a static function, as it is only called from elv_iosched_store(). Also, remove redundant parameters from elv_iosched_load_module() function signature.

2024-10-11elevator: do not request_module if elevator existsBreno Leitao
Whenever an I/O elevator is changed, the system attempts to load a module for the new elevator. This occurs regardless of whether the elevator is already loaded or built directly into the kernel. This behavior introduces unnecessary overhead and potential issues. This makes the operation slower, and more error-prone. For instance, making the problem fixed by [1] visible for users that doesn't even rely on modules being available through modules. Do not try to load the ioscheduler if it is already visible. This change brings two main benefits: it improves the performance of elevator changes, and it reduces the likelihood of errors occurring during this process.

2024-09-17block: Fix elv_iosched_local_module handling of "none" schedulerDamien Le Moal
Commit 734e1a860312 ("block: Prevent deadlocks when switching elevators") introduced the function elv_iosched_load_module() to allow loading an elevator module outside of elv_iosched_store() with the target device queue not frozen, to avoid deadlocks. However, the "none" scheduler does not have a module and as a result, elv_iosched_load_module() always returns an error when trying to switch to this valid scheduler. Fix this by ignoring the return value of the request_module() call done by elv_iosched_load_module(). This restores the behavior before commit 734e1a860312, which was to ignore the request_module() result and instead rely on elevator_change() to handle the "none" scheduler case.

2024-09-10block: Prevent deadlocks when switching elevatorsDamien Le Moal
Commit af2814149883 ("block: freeze the queue in queue_attr_store") changed queue_attr_store() to always freeze a sysfs attribute queue before calling the attribute store() method, to ensure that no IOs are in-flight when an attribute value is being updated. However, this change created a potential deadlock situation for the scheduler queue attribute as changing the queue elevator with elv_iosched_store() can result in a call to request_module() if the user requested module is not already registered. If the file of the requested module is stored on the block device of the frozen queue, a deadlock will happen as the read operations triggered by request_module() will wait for the queue freeze to end. Solve this issue by introducing the load_module method in struct queue_sysfs_entry, and to calling this method function in queue_attr_store() before freezing the attribute queue. The macro definition QUEUE_RW_LOAD_MODULE_ENTRY() is added to define a queue sysfs attribute that needs loading a module. The definition of the scheduler atrribute is changed to using QUEUE_RW_LOAD_MODULE_ENTRY(), with the function elv_iosched_load_module() defined as the load_module method. elv_iosched_store() can then be simplified to remove the call to request_module().

2023-08-19blk-mq: release scheduler resource when request completesChengming Zhou
Chuck reported [1] an IO hang problem on NFS exports that reside on SATA devices and bisected to commit 615939a2ae73 ("blk-mq: defer to the normal submission path for post-flush requests"). We analysed the IO hang problem, found there are two postflush requests waiting for each other. The first postflush request completed the REQ_FSEQ_DATA sequence, so go to the REQ_FSEQ_POSTFLUSH sequence and added in the flush pending list, but failed to blk_kick_flush() because of the second postflush request which is inflight waiting in scheduler queue. The second postflush waiting in scheduler queue can't be dispatched because the first postflush hasn't released scheduler resource even though it has completed by itself. Fix it by releasing scheduler resource when the first postflush request completed, so the second postflush can be dispatched and completed, then make blk_kick_flush() succeed. While at it, remove the check for e->ops.finish_request, as all schedulers set that. Reaffirm this requirement by adding a WARN_ON_ONCE() at scheduler registration time, just like we do for insert_requests and dispatch_request.
