We can not match a command to its completion based on the command
id alone. We need the submitting queue identifier to pair with the
completion, so this patch adds that to the trace buffer.
This patch is also collapsing the admin and IO submission traces into a

code branches: we know if the command is an admin vs IO based on the qid.

The patch enables inline data sizes using up to 4 recv sges, and capping
the size at 16KB or at least 1 page size. So on a 4K page system, up to
16KB is supported, and for a 64K page system 1 page of 64KB is supported.
We avoid > 0 order page allocations for the inline buffers by using
multiple recv sges, one for each page. If the device cannot support
the configured inline data size due to lack of enough recv sges, then
log a warning and reduce the inline size.
Add a new configfs port attribute, called param_inline_data_size,
to allow configuring the size of inline data for a given nvmf port.
The maximum size allowed is still enforced by nvmet-rdma with
NVMET_RDMA_MAX_INLINE_DATA_SIZE, which is now max(16KB, PAGE_SIZE).
And the default size, if not specified via configfs, is still PAGE_SIZE.
This preserves the existing behavior, but allows larger inline sizes
for small page systems. If the configured inline data size exceeds
NVMET_RDMA_MAX_INLINE_DATA_SIZE, a warning is logged and the size is
reduced. If param_inline_data_size is set to 0, then inline data is
disabled for that nvmf port.

In addition, the second parameter to generic_start_io_acct() and

write bit and it uses op_stat_group() on the parameter to determine
the stat group.
Note that the partition in_flight counts are not part of the per-cpu

Jann Horn did look software archives for users of this interface,
and the only users found were example code in sg3_utils, and optional
support in an optional module of the tgt user space iscsi target,
which looks like a proof of concept extension of the /dev/sg
read/write support.
Tony Battersby chimes in that the code is basically unsafe to use in
general:
The read/write interface on /dev/bsg is impossible to use safely
because the list of completed commands is per-device (bd->done_list)
rather than per-fd like it is with /dev/sg. So if program A and
program B are both using the write/read interface on the same bsg
device, then their command responses will get mixed up, and program
A will read() some command results from program B and vice versa.
So no, I don't use read/write on /dev/bsg. From a security standpoint,
it should definitely be fixed or removed.

Current IO controllers for the block layer are less than ideal for our
use case. The io.max controller is great at hard limiting, but it is
not work conserving. This patch introduces io.latency. You provide a
latency target for your group and we monitor the io in short windows to
make sure we are not exceeding those latency targets. This makes use of
the rq-qos infrastructure and works much like the wbt stuff. There are
a few differences from wbt
- It's bio based, so the latency covers the whole block layer in addition to
the actual io.
- We will throttle all IO types that comes in here if we need to.
- We use the mean latency over the 100ms window. This is because writes can
be particularly fast, which could give us a false sense of the impact of
other workloads on our protected workload.
- By default there's no throttling, we set the queue_depth to INT_MAX so that
we can have as many outstanding bio's as we're allowed to. Only at
throttle time do we pay attention to the actual queue depth.
- We backcharge cgroups for root cg issued IO and induce artificial
delays in order to deal with cases like metadata only or swap heavy
workloads.
In testing this has worked out relatively well. Protected workloads
will throttle noisy workloads down to 1 io at time if they are doing
normal IO on their own, or induce up to a 1 second delay per syscall if
they are doing a lot of root issued IO (metadata/swap IO).
Our testing has revolved mostly around our production web servers where
we have hhvm (the web server application) in a protected group and
everything else in another group. We see slightly higher requests per
second (RPS) on the test tier vs the control tier, and much more stable
RPS across all machines in the test tier vs the control tier.
Another test we run is a slow memory allocator in the unprotected group.
Before this would eventually push us into swap and cause the whole box
to die and not recover at all. With these patches we see slight RPS
drops (usually 10-15%) before the memory consumer is properly killed and
things recover within seconds.

wbt cares only about request completion time, but controllers may need
information that is on the bio itself, so add a done_bio callback for
rq-qos so things like blk-iolatency can use it to have the bio when it
completes.
