2014-07-01blk-mq: decouble blk-mq freezing from generic bypassingTejun Heo
blk_mq freezing is entangled with generic bypassing which bypasses blkcg and io scheduler and lets IO requests fall through the block layer to the drivers in FIFO order. This allows forward progress on IOs with the advanced features disabled so that those features can be configured or altered without worrying about stalling IO which may lead to deadlock through memory allocation. However, generic bypassing doesn't quite fit blk-mq. blk-mq currently doesn't make use of blkcg or ioscheds and it maps bypssing to freezing, which blocks request processing and drains all the in-flight ones. This causes problems as bypassing assumes that request processing is online. blk-mq works around this by conditionally allowing request processing for the problem case - during queue initialization. Another weirdity is that except for during queue cleanup, bypassing started on the generic side prevents blk-mq from processing new requests but doesn't drain the in-flight ones. This shouldn't break anything but again highlights that something isn't quite right here. The root cause is conflating blk-mq freezing and generic bypassing which are two different mechanisms. The only intersecting purpose that they serve is during queue cleanup. Let's properly separate blk-mq freezing from generic bypassing and simply use it where necessary. * request_queue->mq_freeze_depth is added and blk_mq_[un]freeze_queue() now operate on this counter instead of ->bypass_depth. The replacement for QUEUE_FLAG_BYPASS isn't added but the counter is tested directly. This will be further updated by later changes. * blk_mq_drain_queue() is dropped and "__" prefix is dropped from blk_mq_freeze_queue(). Queue cleanup path now calls blk_mq_freeze_queue() directly. * blk_queue_enter()'s fast path condition is simplified to simply check @q->mq_freeze_depth. Previously, the condition was !blk_queue_dying(q) && (!blk_queue_bypass(q) || !blk_queue_init_done(q)) mq_freeze_depth is incremented right after dying is set and blk_queue_init_done() exception isn't necessary as blk-mq doesn't start frozen, which only leaves the blk_queue_bypass() test which can be replaced by @q->mq_freeze_depth test. This change simplifies the code and reduces confusion in the area. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Cc: Jens Axboe <axboe@kernel.dk> Cc: Nicholas A.

2014-06-04blk-mq: fix schedule from atomic contextMing Lei
blk_mq_put_ctx() has to be called before io_schedule() in bt_get(). This patch fixes the problem by taking similar approach from percpu_ida allocation for the situation. Signed-off-by: Ming Lei <tom.leiming@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@fb.com>

2014-05-30blk-mq: make the sysfs mq/ layout reflect current mappingsJens Axboe
Currently blk-mq registers all the hardware queues in sysfs, regardless of whether it uses them (e.g. they have CPU mappings) or not. The unused hardware queues lack the cpux/ directories, and the other sysfs entries (like active, pending, etc) are all zeroes. Change this so that sysfs correctly reflects the current mappings of the hardware queues. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@fb.com>
2014-05-27blk-mq: pass in suggested NUMA node to ->alloc_hctx()Jens Axboe
Drivers currently have to figure this out on their own, and they are missing information to do it properly. The ones that did attempt to do it, do it wrong. So just pass in the suggested node directly to the alloc function. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@fb.com>
2014-05-21blk-mq: allow the hctx cpu hotplug notifier to return errorsJens Axboe
Prepare this for the next patch which adds more smarts in the plugging logic, so that we can save some memory. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@fb.com>
2014-05-20blk-mq: allow changing of queue depth through sysfsJens Axboe
For request_fn based devices, the block layer exports a 'nr_requests' file through sysfs to allow adjusting of queue depth on the fly. Currently this returns -EINVAL for blk-mq, since it's not wired up. Wire this up for blk-mq, so that it now also always dynamic adjustments of the allowed queue depth for any given block device managed by blk-mq. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@fb.com>
2014-05-19blk-mq: move the cache friendly bitmap type of out blk-mq-tagJens Axboe
We will use it for the pending list in blk-mq core as well. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@fb.com>
2014-05-09blk-mq: implement new and more efficient tagging schemeJens Axboe
blk-mq currently uses percpu_ida for tag allocation. But that only works well if the ratio between tag space and number of CPUs is sufficiently high. For most devices and systems, that is not the case. The end result if that we either only utilize the tag space partially, or we end up attempting to fully exhaust it and run into lots of lock contention with stealing between CPUs. This is not optimal. This new tagging scheme is a hybrid bitmap allocator. It uses two tricks to both be SMP friendly and allow full exhaustion of the space: 1) We cache the last allocated (or freed) tag on a per blk-mq software context basis. This allows us to limit the space we have to search. The key element here is not caching it in the shared tag structure, otherwise we end up dirtying more shared cache lines on each allocate/free operation. 2) The tag space is split into cache line sized groups, and each context will start off randomly in that space. Even up to full utilization of the space, this divides the tag users efficiently into cache line groups, avoiding dirtying the same one both between allocators and between allocator and freeer. This scheme shows drastically better behaviour, both on small tag spaces but on large ones as well. It has been tested extensively to show better performance for all the cases blk-mq cares about.

2014-04-25blk-mq: respect rq_affinityChristoph Hellwig
The blk-mq code is using it's own version of the I/O completion affinity tunables, which causes a few issues: - the rq_affinity sysfs file doesn't work for blk-mq devices, even if it still is present, thus breaking existing tuning setups. - the rq_affinity = 1 mode, which is the defauly for legacy request based drivers isn't implemented at all. - blk-mq drivers don't implement any completion affinity with the default flag settings. This patches removes the blk-mq ipi_redirect flag and sysfs file, as well as the internal BLK_MQ_F_SHOULD_IPI flag and replaces it with code that respects the queue-wide rq_affinity flags and also implements the rq_affinity = 1 mode. This means I/O completion affinity can now only be tuned block-queue wide instead of per context, which seems more sensible to me anyway.

2014-04-24blk-mq: fix race with timeouts and requeue eventsJens Axboe
If a requeue event races with a timeout, we can get into the situation where we attempt to complete a request from the timeout handler when it's not start anymore. This causes a crash. So have the timeout handler check that REQ_ATOM_STARTED is still set on the request - if not, we ignore the event. If this happens, the request has now been marked as complete. As a consequence, we need to ensure to clear REQ_ATOM_COMPLETE in blk_mq_start_request(), as to maintain proper request state. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@fb.com>
2014-04-15blk-mq: split out tag initialization, support shared tagsChristoph Hellwig
Add a new blk_mq_tag_set structure that gets set up before we initialize the queue. A single blk_mq_tag_set structure can be shared by multiple queues. Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de> Modular export of blk_mq_{alloc,free}_tagset added by me. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@fb.com>
2014-04-15blk-mq: make ->flush_rq fully transparent to driversChristoph Hellwig
Drivers shouldn't have to care about the block layer setting aside a request to implement the flush state machine. We already override the mq context and tag to make it more transparent, but so far haven't deal with the driver private data in the request. Make sure to override this as well, and while we're at it add a proper helper sitting in blk-mq.c that implements the full impersonation.

2014-04-15blk-mq: do not initialize req->specialChristoph Hellwig
Drivers can reach their private data easily using the blk_mq_rq_to_pdu helper and don't need req->special. By not initializing it code can be simplified nicely, and we also shave off a few more instructions from the I/O path.

2014-03-21blk-mq: merge blk_mq_insert_request and blk_mq_run_requestChristoph Hellwig
It's almost identical to blk_mq_insert_request, so fold the two into one slightly more generic function by making the flush special case a bit smarted. Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@fb.com>
2014-03-20blk-mq: don't dump CPU -> hw queue map on driver loadJens Axboe
Now that we are out of initial debug/bringup mode, remove the verbose dump of the mapping table. Provide the mapping table in sysfs, under the hardware queue directory, in the cpu_list file. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@fb.com>
2014-02-10blk-mq: rework flush sequencing logicChristoph Hellwig
Witch to using a preallocated flush_rq for blk-mq similar to what's done with the old request path. This allows us to set up the request properly with a tag from the actually allowed range and ->rq_disk as needed by some drivers. To make life easier we also switch to dynamic allocation of ->flush_rq for the old path. This effectively reverts most of "blk-mq: fix for flush deadlock" and "blk-mq: Don't reserve a tag for flush request" Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@fb.com>
2014-02-10blk-mq: rework I/O completionsChristoph Hellwig
Rework I/O completions to work more like the old code path. blk_mq_end_io now stays out of the business of deferring completions to others CPUs and calling blk_mark_rq_complete. The latter is very important to allow completing requests that have timed out and thus are already marked completed, the former allows using the IPI callout even for driver specific completions instead of having to reimplement them.

2014-01-08blk-mq: use __smp_call_function_single directlyChristoph Hellwig
__smp_call_function_single already avoids multiple IPIs by internally queing up the items, and now also is available for non-SMP builds as a trivially correct stub, so there is no need to wrap it. If the additional lock roundtrip cause problems my patch to convert the generic IPI code to llists is waiting to get merged will fix it.

2013-10-25blk-mq: new multi-queue block IO queueing mechanismJens Axboe
Linux currently has two models for block devices: - The classic request_fn based approach, where drivers use struct request units for IO. The block layer provides various helper functionalities to let drivers share code, things like tag management, timeout handling, queueing, etc. - The "stacked" approach, where a driver squeezes in between the block layer and IO submitter. Since this bypasses the IO stack, driver generally have to manage everything themselves. With drivers being written for new high IOPS devices, the classic request_fn based driver doesn't work well enough. The design dates back to when both SMP and high IOPS was rare. It has problems with scaling to bigger machines, and runs into scaling issues even on smaller machines when you have IOPS in the hundreds of thousands per device. The stacked approach is then most often selected as the model for the driver. But this means that everybody has to re-invent everything, and along with that we get all the problems again that the shared approach solved. This commit introduces blk-mq, block multi queue support. The design is centered around per-cpu queues for queueing IO, which then funnel down into x number of hardware submission queues. We might have a 1:1 mapping between the two, or it might be an N:M mapping. That all depends on what the hardware supports. blk-mq provides various helper functions, which include: - Scalable support for request tagging. Most devices need to be able to uniquely identify a request both in the driver and to the hardware. The tagging uses per-cpu caches for freed tags, to enable cache hot reuse. - Timeout handling without tracking request on a per-device basis. Basically the driver should be able to get a notification, if a request happens to fail. - Optional support for non 1:1 mappings between issue and submission queues. blk-mq can redirect IO completions to the desired location. - Support for per-request payloads. Drivers almost always need to associate a request structure with some driver private command structure. Drivers can tell blk-mq this at init time, and then any request handed to the driver will have the required size of memory associated with it. - Support for merging of IO, and plugging. The stacked model gets neither of these. Even for high IOPS devices, merging sequential IO reduces per-command overhead and thus increases bandwidth. For now, this is provided as a potential 3rd queueing model, with the hope being that, as it matures, it can replace both the classic and stacked model. That would get us back to having just 1 real model for block devices, leaving the stacked approach to dm/md devices (as it was originally intended).
