Since I can remember DM has forced the block layer to allow the
allocation and initialization of the request_queue to be distinct
operations.  Reason for this was block/genhd.c:add_disk() has required
that the request_queue (and associated bdi) be tied to the gendisk
before add_disk() is called -- because add_disk() also deals with
exposing the request_queue via blk_register_queue().

DM's dynamic creation of arbitrary device types (and associated
request_queue types) requires the DM device's gendisk be available so
that DM table loads can establish a master/slave relationship with
subordinate devices that are referenced by loaded DM tables -- using
bd_link_disk_holder().  But until these DM tables, and their associated
subordinate devices, are known DM cannot know what type of request_queue
it needs -- nor what its queue_limits should be.

This chicken and egg scenario has created all manner of problems for DM
and, at times, the block layer.

Summary of changes:

- Adjust device_add_disk() so that that it can cope with the gendisk _not_
  having its 'queue' established yet.

- Move "bdi" symlink creation from register_disk() to the end of
  blk_register_queue() -- it is more logical in that the bdi is part of
  the request_queue.

- Move extra request_queue reference count (on behalf of gendisk) from
  device_add_disk() to end of blk_register_queue().

- Make device_add_disk()'s calls to bdi_register_owner() and
  blk_register_queue() conditional on disk->queue not being NULL.

- Export blk_register_queue()

- Move "bdi" symlink removal and bdi_unregister() from del_gendisk() to
  blk_unregister_queue().  Suggested by Bart.

- Remove del_gendisk()'s WARN_ON() if disk->queue is NULL

These changes allow DM to use device_add_disk() to anchor its gendisk as
the "master" for master/slave relationships DM must establish with
subordinate devices referenced in DM tables that get loaded.  Once all
"slave" devices for a DM device are known a request_queue can be
properly initialized and then advertised via sysfs -- important
improvement being that no request_queue resource initialization is
missed.

These changes have been tested to work without any IO races because the
request_queue and associated bdi don't even exist at the time that the
gendisk's "struct device"s are established by device_add_disk().  I've
been mindful of historic bugs, and haven't experienced them with DM,
e.g.: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=16312 (fixed by commit
01ea5063 "block: Fix race during disk initialization")

Maybe DM is the only kind of this case, but it is easy to cause
trouble by adding
disk before setting up queue.

In theory, once disk is added, it becomes visible for external world, and
IO starts to come and sysfs operations come too, then block has to deal
with these cases.

Another related issue is that blk-mq debugfs can't work yet for dm-mpath.

So I am just wondering if it is possible to follow the usual way to add disk
after setting up queue for DM? If it is possible, it may avoid lots of trouble
for us.

Thanks,
Ming

Hi,

Yes, I had concerns about this.  But that theory is for a fully formed
disk (one that has a request_queue attached to disk->queue).  So far my
testing of these changes with DM (using various testsuites) hasn't
encountered _any_ problems.

But please try to break it... ;)
I have the changes in a git branch here:
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/snitzer/linux.git/log/?h=block-4.16

> Another related issue is that blk-mq debugfs can't work yet for dm-mpath.

Not sure how that is a related issue to this thread.
But can you expand on that?  I'm not familiar with "blk-mq debugfs".
Any pointer to code that activates it?  Could be that my changes make it
work now...

As I explained in the header (quoted above actually) it is _not_
possible.  It is the gendisk that enables the device stack to be
constructed (at least how DM's stacking is currently implemented with
bd_link_disk_holder() and taking references on devices found in a DM
device's table).  And from that gendisk I can then walk the devices to
establish the request_queue as needed, its stacked limits, etc.

The approach I've taken in these patches is the closest I've gotten to
make DM _much_ more sane about how its request_queue is established.
But its still off the beaten path due to needing "block: cope with
gendisk's 'queue' being added later".

Hi,

blk_mq_debugfs_register() is called in blk_register_queue() from add_disk(),
and blk_mq_debugfs_register() need queue's information to setup mq debugfs
stuff.

But your patch does fix this issue, cool!

OK, thanks for your explanation.

After taking close look at your patches, I think this approach is clean.
But there are still corner cases which need to be addressed:

1) in the following disk attributes, queue is referenced, so we have
to add check in their show/store operations since the attributes
are shown up just after disk is added.

     disk_alignment_offset_show
     disk_discard_alignment_show
     part_timeout_show/part_timeout_store

2) same issue on /proc/diskstats: see diskstats_show()

3) in IO path, looks we already checked disk->queue in
generic_make_request_checks(), so it should be fine, and you set
disk->queue after the queue is fully initialized in the 3rd patch.

Thanks,
Ming Lei

Hmm.  I don't even know how that could be safe given that the disk
is live and visible to userspace once added..

We're getting an additional 'change' event once the tables are loaded
and setup properly. That's not a problem, and in fact the DASD driver
has the very same issue/feature/design.

I'll work through these and see what I can do.

Will likely deal with each independent of the 2/3 patch (otherwise
if I just keep folding changes in to the original patch review will get
too hard).

So hopefully I'll have a v3 to share later today.

Thanks,
Mike
