2017-11-10blk-mq: only run the hardware queue if IO is pendingJens Axboe1-6/+1
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. Reviewed-by: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@kernel.dk>

This reverts commit 358a3a6bccb74da9d63a26b2dd5f09f1e9970e0b. We have cases that aren't covered 100% in the drivers, so for now we have to retain the shared tag restart loops. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@kernel.dk>
2017-11-04blk-mq: don't allocate driver tag upfront for flush rqMing Lei1-37/+5
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. Signed-off-by: Ming Lei <ming.lei@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@kernel.dk>
2017-11-04blk-mq-sched: decide how to handle flush rq via RQF_FLUSH_SEQMing Lei1-13/+16
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.

It is enough to just check if we can get the budget via .get_budget(). And we don't need to deal with device state change in .get_budget(). For SCSI, one issue to be fixed is that we have to call scsi_mq_uninit_cmd() to free allocated ressources if SCSI device fails to handle the request. And it isn't enough to simply call blk_mq_end_request() to do that if this request is marked as RQF_DONTPREP.

2017-11-01blk-mq: don't handle TAG_SHARED in restartMing Lei1-74/+4
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.

2017-11-01blk-mq-sched: improve dispatching from sw queueMing Lei1-3/+71
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.

2017-11-01blk-mq: introduce .get_budget and .put_budget in blk_mq_opsMing Lei1-10/+45
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.

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).

2017-06-21blk-mq: fix performance regression with shared tagsJens Axboe1-12/+46
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.

2017-06-18blk-mq: use QUEUE_FLAG_QUIESCED to quiesce queueMing Lei1-1/+2
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.

2017-04-07blk-mq: use the right hctx when getting a driver tag failsOmar Sandoval1-4/+5
While dispatching requests, if we fail to get a driver tag, we mark the hardware queue as waiting for a tag and put the requests on a hctx->dispatch list to be run later when a driver tag is freed. However, blk_mq_dispatch_rq_list() may dispatch requests from multiple hardware queues if using a single-queue scheduler with a multiqueue device. If blk_mq_get_driver_tag() fails, it doesn't update the hardware queue we are processing. This means we end up using the hardware queue of the previous request, which may or may not be the same as that of the current request. If it isn't, the wrong hardware queue will end up waiting for a tag, and the requests will be on the wrong dispatch list, leading to a hang. The fix is twofold: 1. Make sure we save which hardware queue we were trying to get a request for in blk_mq_get_driver_tag() regardless of whether it succeeds or not. 2. Make blk_mq_dispatch_rq_list() take a request_queue instead of a blk_mq_hw_queue to make it clear that it must handle multiple hardware queues, since I've already messed this up on a couple of occasions. This didn't appear in testing with nvme and mq-deadline because nvme has more driver tags than the default number of scheduler tags.

So, split out blk_mq_sched_mark_restart() into two operations, one for just the hardware queue and one for the whole request queue.

For blk-mq-sched, the merge path has to hold the appropriate lock, but we don't need it for freeing the request. And in fact holding the lock is problematic, since we are now calling the mq sched put_rq_private() hook with the lock held. Other call paths do not hold this lock. Fix this inconsistency by ensuring that the caller frees a merged request. Then we can do it outside of the lock, making it both more efficient and fixing the blk-mq-sched problem of invoking parts of the scheduler with an unknown lock state.

Instead of letting the caller check this and handle the details of inserting a flush request, put the logic in the scheduler insertion function. This fixes direct flush insertion outside of the usual make_request_fn calls, like from dm via blk_insert_cloned_request(). Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@fb.com>

2017-01-27blk-mq-sched: change ->dispatch_requests() to ->dispatch_request()Jens Axboe1-8/+15
When we invoke dispatch_requests(), the scheduler empties everything into the passed in list. This isn't always a good thing, since it means that we remove items that we could have potentially merged with. Change the function to dispatch single requests at the time. If we do that, we can backoff exactly at the point where the device can't consume more IO, and leave the rest with the scheduler for better merging and future dispatch decision making.

2017-01-27blk-mq-sched: fix starvation for multiple hardware queues and shared tagsJens Axboe1-0/+28
If we have both multiple hardware queues and shared tag map between devices, we need to ensure that we propagate the hardware queue restart bit higher up. This is because we can get into a situation where we don't have any IO pending on a hardware queue, yet we fail getting a tag to start new IO. If that happens, it's not enough to mark the hardware queue as needing a restart, we need to bubble that up to the higher level queue as well.

2017-01-26blk-mq-sched: check for successful allocation before assigning tagJens Axboe1-1/+2
We don't trigger this from the normal IO path, since we always use blocking allocations from there. But Bart saw it testing multipath dm, since that is a heavy user of atomic request allocations in the map and clone path.
