For most of ARCHs, 'nr_cpus=1' is passed for kdump kernel, so
nr_hw_queues for each mapping is supposed to be 1 already.
More importantly, this way may cause trouble for driver, because blk-mq and
driver see different queue mapping since driver should setup hardware
queue setting before calling into allocating blk-mq tagset.
So not overriding nr_hw_queues and nr_maps for kdump kernel.

The logic in blk_mq_complete_need_ipi() assumes SMP systems where all
CPUs have equal compute capacities and only LLC cache can make
a different on perceived performance. But this assumption falls apart on
HMP systems where LLC is shared, but the CPUs have different capacities.
Staying local then can have a big performance impact if the IO request
was done from a CPU with higher capacity but the interrupt is serviced
on a lower capacity CPU.
Use the new cpus_equal_capacity() function to check if we need to send
an IPI.
Without the patch I see the BLOCK softirq always running on little cores
(where the hardirq is serviced). With it I can see it running on all
cores.
This was noticed after the topology change [1] where now on a big.LITTLE
we truly get that the LLC is shared between all cores where as in the
past it was being misrepresented for historical reasons. The logic
exposed a missing dependency on capacities for such systems where there
can be a big performance difference between the CPUs.
This of course introduced a noticeable change in behavior depending on
how the topology is presented. Leading to regressions in some workloads
as the performance of the BLOCK softirq on littles can be noticeably
worse on some platforms.
Worth noting that we could have checked for capacities being greater
than or equal instead for equality. This will lead to favouring higher
performance always. But opted for equality instead to match the
performance of the requester without making an assumption that can lead
to power trade-offs which these systems tend to be sensitive about. If
the requester would like to run faster, it's better to rely on the
scheduler to give the IO requester via some facility to run on a faster
core; and then if the interrupt triggered on a CPU with different
capacity we'll make sure to match the performance the requester is
supposed to run at.

Some of these block operations can access a significant capacity and
take longer than the user expected. A user may change their mind about
wanting to run that command and attempt to kill the process and do
something else with their device. But since the task is uninterruptable,
they have to wait for it to finish, which could be many hours.
Check for a fatal signal at each iteration so the user doesn't have to
wait for their regretted operation to complete naturally.

'open_mutex' of gendisk is used to protect open/close block devices. But
in bd_link_disk_holder(), it is used to protect the creation of symlink
between holding disk and slave bdev, which introduces some issues.
When bd_link_disk_holder() is called, the driver is usually in the process
of initialization/modification and may suspend submitting io. At this
time, any io hold 'open_mutex', such as scanning partitions, can cause
deadlocks. For example, in raid:
T1 T2
bdev_open_by_dev
lock open_mutex [1]
...
efi_partition
...
md_submit_bio
md_ioctl mddev_syspend
-> suspend all io
md_add_new_disk
bind_rdev_to_array
bd_link_disk_holder
try lock open_mutex [2]
md_handle_request
-> wait mddev_resume
T1 scan partition, T2 add a new device to raid. T1 waits for T2 to resume
mddev, but T2 waits for open_mutex held by T1. Deadlock occurs.
Fix it by introducing a local mutex 'blk_holder_mutex' to replace
'open_mutex'.

Querying the current time is the most costly thing we do in the block
layer per IO, and depending on kernel config settings, we may do it
many times per IO.
None of the callers actually need nsec granularity. Take advantage of
that by caching the current time in the plug, with the assumption here
being that any time checking will be temporally close enough that the
slight loss of precision doesn't matter.
If the block plug gets flushed, eg on preempt or schedule out, then
we invalidate the cached clock.

which is more than a 9% improvement in performance. Looking at perf diff,
we can see a huge reduction in time overhead:
10.55% -9.88% [kernel.vmlinux] [k] read_tsc
1.31% -1.22% [kernel.vmlinux] [k] ktime_get
Note that since this relies on blk_plug for the caching, it's only
applicable to the issue side. But this is where most of the time calls
happen anyway. On the completion side, cached time stamping is done with
struct io_comp patch, as long as the driver supports it.
It's also worth noting that the above testing doesn't enable any of the
higher cost CPU items on the block layer side, like wbt, cgroups,
iocost, etc, which all would add additional time querying and hence
overhead. IOW, results would likely look even better in comparison with
those enabled, as distros would do.

Convert any user of ktime_get_ns() to use blk_time_get_ns(), and
ktime_get() to blk_time_get(), so we have a unified API for querying the
current time in nanoseconds or as ktime.
No functional changes intended, this patch just wraps ktime_get_ns()
and ktime_get() with a block helper.

In preparation for moving time keeping into blk.h, move the cgroup
related code for timestamps in here too. This will help avoid a circular
dependency, and also moves it into a more appropriate header as this one
is private to the block layer code.
Leave struct bio_issue in blk_types.h as it's a proper time definition.

cached request vs newly allocated request cases, and add comments
explaining the cached request handling.

Add a new helper to check if there is suitable cached request in
blk_mq_submit_bio. This removes open coded logic in blk_mq_submit_bio
and moves some checks that so far are in blk_mq_use_cached_rq to
be performed earlier. This avoids the case where we first do check
with the cached request but then later end up allocating a new one
anyway and need to grab a queue reference.

blk_mq_attempt_bio_merge has nothing to do with allocating a new
request, it avoids allocating a new request. Move the call out of
blk_mq_get_new_requests and into the only caller.

Commit 82b74cac28 ("blk-ioprio: Convert from rqos policy to direct
call") pushed setting bio I/O priority down into blk_mq_submit_bio()
-- which is too low within block core's submit_bio() because it
skips setting I/O priority for block drivers that implement
fops->submit_bio() (e.g. DM, MD, etc).
Fix this by moving bio_set_ioprio() up from blk-mq.c to blk-core.c and
call it from submit_bio(). This ensures all block drivers call
bio_set_ioprio() during initial bio submission.
Fixes: a78418e6a0 ("block: Always initialize bio IO priority on submit")
