Just like aio/io_uring, we need to grab 2 refcount for queuing one
request, one is for submission, another is for completion.
If the request isn't queued from plug code path, the refcount grabbed
in generic_make_request() serves for submission. In theroy, this
refcount should have been released after the sumission(async run queue)
is done. blk_freeze_queue() works with blk_sync_queue() together
for avoiding race between cleanup queue and IO submission, given async
run queue activities are canceled because hctx->run_work is scheduled with
the refcount held, so it is fine to not hold the refcount when
running the run queue work function for dispatch IO.
However, if request is staggered into plug list, and finally queued
from plug code path, the refcount in submission side is actually missed.
And we may start to run queue after queue is removed because the queue's
kobject refcount isn't guaranteed to be grabbed in flushing plug list
context, then kernel oops is triggered, see the following race:
blk_mq_flush_plug_list():
blk_mq_sched_insert_requests()
insert requests to sw queue or scheduler queue
blk_mq_run_hw_queue
Because of concurrent run queue, all requests inserted above may be
completed before calling the above blk_mq_run_hw_queue. Then queue can
be freed during the above blk_mq_run_hw_queue().
Fixes the issue by grab .q_usage_counter before calling
blk_mq_sched_insert_requests() in blk_mq_flush_plug_list(). This way is
safe because the queue is absolutely alive before inserting request.

blk_mq_try_issue_directly() can return BLK_STS*_RESOURCE for requests that
have been queued. If that happens when blk_mq_try_issue_directly() is called
by the dm-mpath driver then dm-mpath will try to resubmit a request that is
already queued and a kernel crash follows. Since it is nontrivial to fix
blk_mq_request_issue_directly(), revert the blk_mq_request_issue_directly()
changes that went into kernel v5.0.
This patch reverts the following commits:

Currently, the queue mapping result is saved in a two-dimensional
array. In the hot path, to get a hctx, we need do following:
q->queue_hw_ctx[q->tag_set->map[type].mq_map[cpu]]
This isn't very efficient. We could save the queue mapping result into
ctx directly with different hctx type, like,
ctx->hctxs[type]

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

when there are lots of LUNs attached in one host, such as in his

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.

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.

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).

Pull in the fix for shared tags, as it conflicts with the pending
changes in for-4.13/block. We already pulled in v4.12-rc5 to solve
other conflicts or get fixes that went into 4.12, so not a lot
of changes in this merge.

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.

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.

blk_mq_sched_assign_ioc now only handles the assigned of the ioc if
the schedule needs it (bfq only at the moment). The caller to the
per-request initializer is moved out so that it can be merged with
a similar call for the kyber I/O scheduler.

Because what the per-sw-queue bio merge does is basically same with
scheduler's .bio_merge(), this patch makes per-sw-queue bio merge
as the default .bio_merge if no scheduler is used or io scheduler
doesn't provide .bio_merge().

This provides the infrastructure for schedulers to expose their internal

At least one driver, mtip32xx, has a hard coded dependency on
the value of the reserved tag used for internal commands. While
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.
