c16d6b5a9f blk-mq: fix dispatch from sw queue
When a request is added to rq list of sw queue(ctx), the rq may be from
a different type of hctx, especially after multi queue mapping is
introduced.

So when dispach request from sw queue via blk_mq_flush_busy_ctxs() or
blk_mq_dequeue_from_ctx(), one request belonging to other queue type of
hctx can be dispatched to current hctx in case that read queue or poll
queue is enabled.

This patch fixes this issue by introducing per-queue-type list.

Changed by me to not use separately cacheline aligned lists, just
place them all in the same cacheline where we had just the one list
and lock before.

7211aef86f block: mq-deadline: Fix write completion handling
For a zoned block device using mq-deadline, if a write request for a
zone is received while another write was already dispatched for the same
zone, dd_dispatch_request() will return NULL and the newly inserted
write request is kept in the scheduler queue waiting for the ongoing
zone write to complete. With this behavior, when no other request has
been dispatched, rq_list in blk_mq_sched_dispatch_requests() is empty
and blk_mq_sched_mark_restart_hctx() not called. This in turn leads to
__blk_mq_free_request() call of blk_mq_sched_restart() to not run the
queue when the already dispatched write request completes. The newly
dispatched request stays stuck in the scheduler queue until eventually
another request is submitted.

This problem does not affect SCSI disk as the SCSI stack handles queue
restart on request completion. However, this problem is can be triggered
the nullblk driver with zoned mode enabled.

Fix this by always requesting a queue restart in dd_dispatch_request()
if no request was dispatched while WRITE requests are queued.

It is not necessary to issue request directly with bypass 'true'

f31967f0e4 blk-mq: allow software queue to map to multiple hardware queues
The mapping used to be dependent on just the CPU location, but
now it's a tuple of (type, cpu) instead. This is a prep patch
for allowing a single software queue to map to multiple hardware

This changes the software queue count to an unsigned short
to save a bit of space. We can still support 64K-1 CPUs,
which should be enough. Add a check to catch a wrap.

d48ece209f blk-mq: init hctx sched after update ctx and hctx mapping
Currently, when update nr_hw_queues, IO scheduler's init_hctx will
be invoked before the mapping between ctx and hctx is adapted
correctly by blk_mq_map_swqueue. The IO scheduler init_hctx (kyber)
may depend on this mapping and get wrong result and panic finally.
A simply way to fix this is that switch the IO scheduler to 'none'
before update the nr_hw_queues, and then switch it back after
update nr_hw_queues. blk_mq_sched_init_/exit_hctx are removed due
to nobody use them any more.

6ce3dd6eec blk-mq: issue directly if hw queue isn't busy in case of 'none'
In case of 'none' io scheduler, when hw queue isn't busy, it isn't
necessary to enqueue request to sw queue and dequeue it from
sw queue because request may be submitted to hw queue asap without
extra cost, meantime there shouldn't be much request in sw queue,
and we don't need to worry about effect on IO merge.

There are still some single hw queue SCSI HBAs(HPSA, megaraid_sas, ...)
which may connect high performance devices, so 'none' is often required
for obtaining good performance.

This patch improves IOPS and decreases CPU unilization on megaraid_sas,
per Kashyap's test.

b04f50ab8a blk-mq: only attempt to merge bio if there is rq in sw queue
Only attempt to merge bio iff the ctx->rq_list isn't empty, because:

1) for high-performance SSD, most of times dispatch may succeed, then
there may be nothing left in ctx->rq_list, so don't try to merge over
sw queue if it is empty, then we can save one acquiring of ctx->lock

2) we can't expect good merge performance on per-cpu sw queue, and missing
one merge on sw queue won't be a big deal since tasks can be scheduled from
one CPU to another.

97889f9ac2 blk-mq: remove synchronize_rcu() from blk_mq_del_queue_tag_set()
We have to remove synchronize_rcu() from blk_queue_cleanup(),
otherwise long delay can be caused during lun probe. For removing
it, we have to avoid to iterate the set->tag_list in IO path, eg,
blk_mq_sched_restart().

This patch reverts 5b79413946d (Revert "blk-mq: don't handle
TAG_SHARED in restart"). Given we have fixed enough IO hang issue,
and there isn't any reason to restart all queues in one tags any more,
see the following reasons:

1) blk-mq core can deal with shared-tags case well via blk_mq_get_driver_tag(),
which can wake up queues waiting for driver tag.

2) SCSI is a bit special because it may return BLK_STS_RESOURCE if queue,
target or host is ready, but SCSI built-in restart can cover all these well,
see scsi_end_request(), queue will be rerun after any request initiated from
this host/target is completed.

In my test on scsi_debug(8 luns), this patch may improve IOPS by 20% ~ 30%
when running I/O on these 8 luns concurrently.

79f720a751 blk-mq: only run the hardware queue if IO is pending
Currently we are inconsistent in when we decide to run the queue. Using
blk_mq_run_hw_queues() we check if the hctx has pending IO before
running it, but we don't do that from the individual queue run function,
blk_mq_run_hw_queue(). This results in a lot of extra and pointless
queue runs, potentially, on flush requests and (much worse) on tag
starvation situations. This is observable just looking at top output,
with lots of kworkers active. For the !async runs, it just adds to the
CPU overhead of blk-mq.

Move the has-pending check into the run function instead of having
callers do it.

923218f616 blk-mq: don't allocate driver tag upfront for flush rq
The idea behind it is simple:

1) for none scheduler, driver tag has to be borrowed for flush rq,
   otherwise we may run out of tag, and that causes an IO hang. And
   get/put driver tag is actually noop for none, so reordering tags
   isn't necessary at all.

2) for a real I/O scheduler, we need not allocate a driver tag upfront
   for flush rq. It works just fine to follow the same approach as
   normal requests: allocate driver tag for each rq just before calling
   ->queue_rq().

One driver visible change is that the driver tag isn't shared in the
flush request sequence. That won't be a problem, since we always do that
in legacy path.

Then flush rq need not be treated specially wrt. get/put driver tag.
This cleans up the code - for instance, reorder_tags_to_front() can be
removed, and we needn't worry about request ordering in dispatch list
for avoiding I/O deadlock.

Also we have to put the driver tag before requeueing.

a6a252e649 blk-mq-sched: decide how to handle flush rq via RQF_FLUSH_SEQ
In case of IO scheduler we always pre-allocate one driver tag before
calling blk_insert_flush(), and flush request will be marked as
RQF_FLUSH_SEQ once it is in flush machinery.

So if RQF_FLUSH_SEQ isn't set, we call blk_insert_flush() to handle
the request, otherwise the flush request is dispatched to ->dispatch
list directly.

This is a preparation patch for not preallocating a driver tag for flush
requests, and for not treating flush requests as a special case. This is
similar to what the legacy path does.

358a3a6bcc blk-mq: don't handle TAG_SHARED in restart
Now restart is used in the following cases, and TAG_SHARED is for
SCSI only.

1) .get_budget() returns BLK_STS_RESOURCE
- if resource in target/host level isn't satisfied, this SCSI device
will be added in shost->starved_list, and the whole queue will be rerun
(via SCSI's built-in RESTART) in scsi_end_request() after any request
initiated from this host/targe is completed. Forget to mention, host level
resource can't be an issue for blk-mq at all.

- the same is true if resource in the queue level isn't satisfied.

- if there isn't outstanding request on this queue, then SCSI's RESTART
can't work(blk-mq's can't work too), and the queue will be run after
SCSI_QUEUE_DELAY, and finally all starved sdevs will be handled by SCSI's
RESTART when this request is finished

2) scsi_dispatch_cmd() returns BLK_STS_RESOURCE
- if there isn't onprogressing request on this queue, the queue
will be run after SCSI_QUEUE_DELAY

- otherwise, SCSI's RESTART covers the rerun.

3) blk_mq_get_driver_tag() failed
- BLK_MQ_S_TAG_WAITING covers the cross-queue RESTART for driver
allocation.

In one word, SCSI's built-in RESTART is enough to cover the queue
rerun, and we don't need to pay special attention to TAG_SHARED wrt. restart.

In my test on scsi_debug(8 luns), this patch improves IOPS by 20% ~ 30% when
running I/O on these 8 luns concurrently.

Aslo Roman Pen reported the current RESTART is very expensive especialy
when there are lots of LUNs attached in one host, such as in his
test, RESTART causes half of IOPS be cut.

b347689ffb blk-mq-sched: improve dispatching from sw queue
SCSI devices use host-wide tagset, and the shared driver tag space is
often quite big. However, there is also a queue depth for each lun(
.cmd_per_lun), which is often small, for example, on both lpfc and
qla2xxx, .cmd_per_lun is just 3.

So lots of requests may stay in sw queue, and we always flush all
belonging to same hw queue and dispatch them all to driver.
Unfortunately it is easy to cause queue busy because of the small
.cmd_per_lun.  Once these requests are flushed out, they have to stay in
hctx->dispatch, and no bio merge can happen on these requests, and
sequential IO performance is harmed.

This patch introduces blk_mq_dequeue_from_ctx for dequeuing a request
from a sw queue, so that we can dispatch them in scheduler's way. We can
then avoid dequeueing too many requests from sw queue, since we don't
flush ->dispatch completely.

This patch improves dispatching from sw queue by using the .get_budget
and .put_budget callbacks.

de14829740 blk-mq: introduce .get_budget and .put_budget in blk_mq_ops
For SCSI devices, there is often a per-request-queue depth, which needs
to be respected before queuing one request.

Currently blk-mq always dequeues the request first, then calls
.queue_rq() to dispatch the request to lld. One obvious issue with this
approach is that I/O merging may not be successful, because when the
per-request-queue depth can't be respected, .queue_rq() has to return
BLK_STS_RESOURCE, and then this request has to stay in hctx->dispatch
list. This means it never gets a chance to be merged with other IO.

This patch introduces .get_budget and .put_budget callback in blk_mq_ops,
then we can try to get reserved budget first before dequeuing request.
If the budget for queueing I/O can't be satisfied, we don't need to
dequeue request at all. Hence the request can be left in the IO
scheduler queue, for more merging opportunities.

5e3d02bbaf blk-mq-sched: dispatch from scheduler IFF progress is made in ->dispatch
When the hw queue is busy, we shouldn't take requests from the scheduler
queue any more, otherwise it is difficult to do IO merge.

This patch fixes the awful IO performance on some SCSI devices(lpfc,
qla2xxx, ...) when mq-deadline/kyber is used by not taking requests if
hw queue is busy.

32825c45ff blk-mq-sched: fix performance regression of mq-deadline
When mq-deadline is taken, IOPS of sequential read and
seqential write is observed more than 20% drop on sata(scsi-mq)
devices, compared with using 'none' scheduler.

The reason is that the default nr_requests for scheduler is
too big for small queuedepth devices, and latency is increased
much.

Since the principle of taking 256 requests for mq scheduler
is based on 128 queue depth, this patch changes into
double size of min(hw queue_depth, 128).

8e8320c931 blk-mq: fix performance regression with shared tags
If we have shared tags enabled, then every IO completion will trigger
a full loop of every queue belonging to a tag set, and every hardware
queue for each of those queues, even if nothing needs to be done.
This causes a massive performance regression if you have a lot of
shared devices.

Instead of doing this huge full scan on every IO, add an atomic
counter to the main queue that tracks how many hardware queues have
been marked as needing a restart. With that, we can avoid looking for
restartable queues, if we don't have to.

Max reports that this restores performance. Before this patch, 4K
IOPS was limited to 22-23K IOPS. With the patch, we are running at
950-970K IOPS.

f4560ffe8c blk-mq: use QUEUE_FLAG_QUIESCED to quiesce queue
It is required that no dispatch can happen any more once
blk_mq_quiesce_queue() returns, and we don't have such requirement
on APIs of stopping queue.

But blk_mq_quiesce_queue() still may not block/drain dispatch in the
the case of BLK_MQ_S_START_ON_RUN, so use the new introduced flag of
QUEUE_FLAG_QUIESCED and evaluate it inside RCU read-side critical
sections for fixing this issue.

Also blk_mq_quiesce_queue() is implemented via stopping queue, which
limits its uses, and easy to cause race, because any queue restart in
other paths may break blk_mq_quiesce_queue(). With the introduced
flag of QUEUE_FLAG_QUIESCED, we don't need to depend on stopping queue
for quiescing any more.

that should really be fixed up, for now let's ensure that we just
bypass the scheduler tags an allocation marked as reserved. They
are used for house keeping or error handling, so we can safely
ignore them in the scheduler.

54d5329d42 blk-mq-sched: fix crash in switch error path
In elevator_switch(), if blk_mq_init_sched() fails, we attempt to fall
back to the original scheduler. However, at this point, we've already
torn down the original scheduler's tags, so this causes a crash. Doing
the fallback like the legacy elevator path is much harder for mq, so fix
it by just falling back to none, instead.
