blktrace: Avoid sparse warnings when assigning q->blk_trace

2020-06-17T15:07:11Z

Mostly for historical reasons, q->blk_trace is assigned through xchg() and cmpxchg() atomic operations. Although this is correct, sparse complains about this because it violates rcu annotations since commit c780e86dd48e ("blktrace: Protect q->blk_trace with RCU") which started to use rcu for accessing q->blk_trace. Furthermore there's no real need for atomic operations anymore since all changes to q->blk_trace happen under q->blk_trace_mutex and since it also makes more sense to check if q->blk_trace is set with the mutex held earlier. So let's just replace xchg() with rcu_replace_pointer() and cmpxchg() with explicit check and rcu_assign_pointer(). This makes the code more efficient and sparse happy.

blktrace: break out of blktrace setup on concurrent calls

2020-06-17T15:07:11Z

We use one blktrace per request_queue, that means one per the entire disk. So we cannot run one blktrace on say /dev/vda and then /dev/vda1, or just two calls on /dev/vda. We check for concurrent setup only at the very end of the blktrace setup though. If we try to run two concurrent blktraces on the same block device the second one will fail, and the first one seems to go on. However when one tries to kill the first one one will see things like this: The kernel will show these: ``` debugfs: File 'dropped' in directory 'nvme1n1' already present! debugfs: File 'msg' in directory 'nvme1n1' already present! debugfs: File 'trace0' in directory 'nvme1n1' already present! `` And userspace just sees this error message for the second call: ``` blktrace /dev/nvme1n1 BLKTRACESETUP(2) /dev/nvme1n1 failed: 5/Input/output error ``` The first userspace process #1 will also claim that the files were taken underneath their nose as well. The files are taken away form the first process given that when the second blktrace fails, it will follow up with a BLKTRACESTOP and BLKTRACETEARDOWN. This means that even if go-happy process #1 is waiting for blktrace data, we *have* been asked to take teardown the blktrace. This can easily be reproduced with break-blktrace [0] run_0005.sh test. Just break out early if we know we're already going to fail, this will prevent trying to create the files all over again, which we know still exist.

blktrace: fix endianness for blk_log_remap()

2020-06-05T03:23:38Z

The function blk_log_remap() can be simplified by removing the call to get_pdu_remap() that copies the values into extra variable to print the data, which also fixes the endiannness warning reported by sparse. Signed-off-by: Chaitanya Kulkarni Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe

blktrace: use errno instead of bi_status

2020-06-05T03:23:38Z

In blk_add_trace_spliti() blk_add_trace_bio_remap() use blk_status_to_errno() to pass the error instead of pasing the bi_status. This fixes the sparse warning. Signed-off-by: Chaitanya Kulkarni Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe

block: remove the error argument to the block_bio_complete tracepoint

2020-06-05T03:16:11Z

The status can be trivially derived from the bio itself. That also avoid callers like NVMe to incorrectly pass a blk_status_t instead of the errno, and the overhead of translating the blk_status_t to the errno in the I/O completion fast path when no tracing is enabled.

blktrace: Report pid with note messages

2020-05-16T20:29:39Z

Currently informational messages within block trace do not have PID information of the process reporting the message included. With BFQ it is sometimes useful to have the information and there's no good reason to omit the information from the trace. So just fill in pid information when generating note message.

blktrace: fix dereference after null check

2020-03-05T20:42:40Z

There was a recent change in blktrace.c that added a RCU protection to `q->blk_trace` in order to fix a use-after-free issue during access. However the change missed an edge case that can lead to dereferencing of `bt` pointer even when it's NULL: Coverity static analyzer marked this as a FORWARD_NULL issue with CID 1460458. ``` /kernel/trace/blktrace.c: 1904 in sysfs_blk_trace_attr_store() 1898 ret = 0; 1899 if (bt == NULL) 1900 ret = blk_trace_setup_queue(q, bdev); 1901 1902 if (ret == 0) { 1903 if (attr == &dev_attr_act_mask) >>> CID 1460458: Null pointer dereferences (FORWARD_NULL) >>> Dereferencing null pointer "bt". 1904 bt->act_mask = value; 1905 else if (attr == &dev_attr_pid) 1906 bt->pid = value; 1907 else if (attr == &dev_attr_start_lba) 1908 bt->start_lba = value; 1909 else if (attr == &dev_attr_end_lba) ``` Added a reassignment with RCU annotation to fix the issue.

blktrace: Protect q->blk_trace with RCU

2020-02-25T15:40:07Z

KASAN is reporting that __blk_add_trace() has a use-after-free issue when accessing q->blk_trace. Indeed the switching of block tracing (and thus eventual freeing of q->blk_trace) is completely unsynchronized with the currently running tracing and thus it can happen that the blk_trace structure is being freed just while __blk_add_trace() works on it. Protect accesses to q->blk_trace by RCU during tracing and make sure we wait for the end of RCU grace period when shutting down tracing. Luckily that is rare enough event that we can afford that. Note that postponing the freeing of blk_trace to an RCU callback should better be avoided as it could have unexpected user visible side-effects as debugfs files would be still existing for a short while block tracing has been shut down.

tracing: Make struct ring_buffer less ambiguous

2020-01-13T18:19:38Z

As there's two struct ring_buffers in the kernel, it causes some confusion. The other one being the perf ring buffer. It was agreed upon that as neither of the ring buffers are generic enough to be used globally, they should be renamed as: perf's ring_buffer -> perf_buffer ftrace's ring_buffer -> trace_buffer This implements the changes to the ring buffer that ftrace uses.
