2014-04-07blk-mq: fix potential stall during CPU unplug with IO pendingJens Axboe1-2/+6
When a CPU is unplugged, we move the blk_mq_ctx request entries to the current queue. The current code forgets to remap the blk_mq_hw_ctx before marking the software context pending, which breaks if old-cpu and new-cpu don't map to the same hardware queue. Additionally, if we mark entries as pending in the new hardware queue, then make sure we schedule it for running. Otherwise request could be sitting there until someone else queues IO for that hardware queue. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@fb.com>

2014-03-19blk-mq: fix wrong usage of hctx->state vs hctx->flagsJens Axboe1-3/+3
BLK_MQ_F_* flags are for hctx->flags, and are non-atomic and set at registration time. BLK_MQ_S_* flags are dynamic and atomic, and are accessed through hctx->state. Some of the BLK_MQ_S_STOPPED uses were wrong. Additionally, the header file should not use a bit shift for the _S_ flags, as they are done through the set/test_bit functions.

2014-03-14blk-mq: allow blk_mq_init_commands() to return failureJens Axboe1-7/+45
If drivers do dynamic allocation in the hardware command init path, then we need to be able to handle and return failures. And if they do allocations or mappings in the init command path, then we need a cleanup function to free up that space at exit time. So add blk_mq_free_commands() as the cleanup function. This is required for the mtip32xx driver conversion to blk-mq. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@fb.com>
2014-03-05blktrace: fix accounting of partially completed requestsRoman Pen1-1/+1
trace_block_rq_complete does not take into account that request can be partially completed, so we can get the following incorrect output of blkparser: C R 232 + 240 [0] C R 240 + 232 [0] C R 248 + 224 [0] C R 256 + 216 [0] but should be: C R 232 + 8 [0] C R 240 + 8 [0] C R 248 + 8 [0] C R 256 + 8 [0] Also, the whole output summary statistics of completed requests and final throughput will be incorrect. This patch takes into account real completion size of the request and fixes wrong completion accounting.

2014-02-24smp: Rename __smp_call_function_single() to smp_call_function_single_async()Frederic Weisbecker1-1/+1
The name __smp_call_function_single() doesn't tell much about the properties of this function, especially when compared to smp_call_function_single(). The comments above the implementation are also misleading. The main point of this function is actually not to be able to embed the csd in an object. This is actually a requirement that result from the purpose of this function which is to raise an IPI asynchronously. As such it can be called with interrupts disabled. And this feature comes at the cost of the caller who then needs to serialize the IPIs on this csd. Lets rename the function and enhance the comments so that they reflect these properties.

2014-02-24smp: Remove wait argument from __smp_call_function_single()Frederic Weisbecker1-1/+1
The main point of calling __smp_call_function_single() is to send an IPI in a pure asynchronous way. By embedding a csd in an object, a caller can send the IPI without waiting for a previous one to complete as is required by smp_call_function_single() for example. As such, sending this kind of IPI can be safe even when irqs are disabled. This flexibility comes at the expense of the caller who then needs to synchronize the csd lifecycle by himself and make sure that IPIs on a single csd are serialized. This is how __smp_call_function_single() works when wait = 0 and this usecase is relevant. Now there don't seem to be any usecase with wait = 1 that can't be covered by smp_call_function_single() instead, which is safer. Lets look at the two possible scenario: 1) The user calls __smp_call_function_single(wait = 1) on a csd embedded in an object. It looks like a nice and convenient pattern at the first sight because we can then retrieve the object from the IPI handler easily. But actually it is a waste of memory space in the object since the csd can be allocated from the stack by smp_call_function_single(wait = 1) and the object can be passed an the IPI argument. Besides that, embedding the csd in an object is more error prone because the caller must take care of the serialization of the IPIs for this csd. 2) The user calls __smp_call_function_single(wait = 1) on a csd that is allocated on the stack. It's ok but smp_call_function_single() can do it as well and it already takes care of the allocation on the stack. Again it's more simple and less error prone. Therefore, using the underscore prepend API version with wait = 1 is a bad pattern and a sign that the caller can do safer and more simple. There was a single user of that which has just been converted. So lets remove this option to discourage further users.

Make sure we have a proper pairing between starting and requeueing requests. Move the dma drain and REQ_END setup into blk_mq_start_request, and make sure blk_mq_requeue_request properly undoes them, giving us a pair of function to prepare and unprepare a request without leaving side effects.

2014-02-11blk-mq: dont assume rq->errors is set when returning an error from ->queue_rqChristoph Hellwig1-1/+1
rq->errors never has been part of the communication protocol between drivers and the block stack and most drivers will not have initialized it. Return -EIO to upper layers when the driver returns BLK_MQ_RQ_QUEUE_ERROR unconditionally.

Witch to using a preallocated flush_rq for blk-mq similar to what's done with the old request path. This allows us to set up the request properly with a tag from the actually allowed range and ->rq_disk as needed by some drivers. To make life easier we also switch to dynamic allocation of ->flush_rq for the old path.

2014-02-10blk-mq: rework I/O completionsChristoph Hellwig1-21/+31
Rework I/O completions to work more like the old code path. blk_mq_end_io now stays out of the business of deferring completions to others CPUs and calling blk_mark_rq_complete.

2014-01-30blk-mq: Don't reserve a tag for flush requestShaohua Li1-16/+30
Reserving a tag (request) for flush to avoid dead lock is a overkill. A tag is valuable resource. We can track the number of flush requests and disallow having too many pending flush requests allocated. With this patch, blk_mq_alloc_request_pinned() could do a busy nop (but not a dead loop) if too many pending requests are allocated and new flush request is allocated. But this should not be a problem, too many pending flush requests are very rare case. I verified this can fix the deadlock caused by too many pending flush requests.

'struct page' has two list_head fields: 'lru' and 'list'. Conveniently, they are unioned together. This means that code can use them interchangably, which gets horribly confusing.

2013-10-25blk-mq: new multi-queue block IO queueing mechanismJens Axboe1-0/+1480
Linux currently has two models for block devices: - The classic request_fn based approach, where drivers use struct request units for IO. The block layer provides various helper functionalities to let drivers share code, things like tag management, timeout handling, queueing, etc. - The "stacked" approach, where a driver squeezes in between the block layer and IO submitter. Since this bypasses the IO stack, driver generally have to manage everything themselves. With drivers being written for new high IOPS devices, the classic request_fn based driver doesn't work well enough. The design dates back to when both SMP and high IOPS was rare. It has problems with scaling to bigger machines, and runs into scaling issues even on smaller machines when you have IOPS in the hundreds of thousands per device. The stacked approach is then most often selected as the model for the driver. But this means that everybody has to re-invent everything, and along with that we get all the problems again that the shared approach solved. This commit introduces blk-mq, block multi queue support. The design is centered around per-cpu queues for queueing IO, which then funnel down into x number of hardware submission queues. We might have a 1:1 mapping between the two, or it might be an N:M mapping. That all depends on what the hardware supports. blk-mq provides various helper functions, which include: - Scalable support for request tagging. Most devices need to be able to uniquely identify a request both in the driver and to the hardware. The tagging uses per-cpu caches for freed tags, to enable cache hot reuse. - Timeout handling without tracking request on a per-device basis. Basically the driver should be able to get a notification, if a request happens to fail. - Optional support for non 1:1 mappings between issue and submission queues. blk-mq can redirect IO completions to the desired location. - Support for per-request payloads. Drivers almost always need to associate a request structure with some driver private command structure. Drivers can tell blk-mq this at init time, and then any request handed to the driver will have the required size of memory associated with it. - Support for merging of IO, and plugging. The stacked model gets neither of these. Even for high IOPS devices, merging sequential IO reduces per-command overhead and thus increases bandwidth. For now, this is provided as a potential 3rd queueing model, with the hope being that, as it matures, it can replace both the classic and stacked model. That would get us back to having just 1 real model for block devices, leaving the stacked approach to dm/md devices (as it was originally intended).
