Omar Sandoval bf0ddaba65 blk-mq: fix sysfs inflight counter
When the blk-mq inflight implementation was added, /proc/diskstats was
converted to use it, but /sys/block/$dev/inflight was not. Fix it by
adding another helper to count in-flight requests by data direction.

Bart Van Assche c77ff7fd03 blk-mq: Rename blk_mq_request_direct_issue() into blk_mq_request_issue_directly()
Most blk-mq functions have a name that follows the pattern blk_mq_${action}.
However, the function name blk_mq_request_direct_issue is an exception.
Hence rename this function. This patch does not change any functionality.

Ming Lei 396eaf21ee blk-mq: improve DM's blk-mq IO merging via blk_insert_cloned_request feedback
blk_insert_cloned_request() is called in the fast path of a dm-rq driver
(e.g. blk-mq request-based DM mpath).  blk_insert_cloned_request() uses
blk_mq_request_bypass_insert() to directly append the request to the
blk-mq hctx->dispatch_list of the underlying queue.

1) This way isn't efficient enough because the hctx spinlock is always
used.

2) With blk_insert_cloned_request(), we completely bypass underlying
queue's elevator and depend on the upper-level dm-rq driver's elevator
to schedule IO.  But dm-rq currently can't get the underlying queue's
dispatch feedback at all.  Without knowing whether a request was issued
or not (e.g. due to underlying queue being busy) the dm-rq elevator will
not be able to provide effective IO merging (as a side-effect of dm-rq
currently blindly destaging a request from its elevator only to requeue
it after a delay, which kills any opportunity for merging).  This
obviously causes very bad sequential IO performance.

Fix this by updating blk_insert_cloned_request() to use
blk_mq_request_direct_issue().  blk_mq_request_direct_issue() allows a
request to be issued directly to the underlying queue and returns the
dispatch feedback (blk_status_t).  If blk_mq_request_direct_issue()
returns BLK_SYS_RESOURCE the dm-rq driver will now use DM_MAPIO_REQUEUE
to _not_ destage the request.  Whereby preserving the opportunity to
merge IO.

With this, request-based DM's blk-mq sequential IO performance is vastly
improved (as much as 3X in mpath/virtio-scsi testing).

Tejun Heo 5a61c36398 blk-mq: remove REQ_ATOM_STARTED
After the recent updates to use generation number and state based
synchronization, we can easily replace REQ_ATOM_STARTED usages by
adding an extra state to distinguish completed but not yet freed
state.

Add MQ_RQ_COMPLETE and replace REQ_ATOM_STARTED usages with
blk_mq_rq_state() tests.  REQ_ATOM_STARTED no longer has any users
left and is removed.

Tejun Heo 358f70da49 blk-mq: make blk_abort_request() trigger timeout path
With issue/complete and timeout paths now using the generation number
and state based synchronization, blk_abort_request() is the only one
which depends on REQ_ATOM_COMPLETE for arbitrating completion.

There's no reason for blk_abort_request() to be a completely separate
path.  This patch makes blk_abort_request() piggyback on the timeout
path instead of trying to terminate the request directly.

This removes the last dependency on REQ_ATOM_COMPLETE in blk-mq.

Note that this makes blk_abort_request() asynchronous - it initiates
abortion but the actual termination will happen after a short while,
even when the caller owns the request.  AFAICS, SCSI and ATA should be
fine with that and I think mtip32xx and dasd should be safe but not
completely sure.  It'd be great if people who know the drivers take a
look.

v2: - Add comment explaining the lack of synchronization around
      ->deadline update as requested by Bart.

Tejun Heo 1d9bd5161b blk-mq: replace timeout synchronization with a RCU and generation based scheme
Currently, blk-mq timeout path synchronizes against the usual
issue/completion path using a complex scheme involving atomic
bitflags, REQ_ATOM_*, memory barriers and subtle memory coherence
rules.  Unfortunately, it contains quite a few holes.

There's a complex dancing around REQ_ATOM_STARTED and
REQ_ATOM_COMPLETE between issue/completion and timeout paths; however,
they don't have a synchronization point across request recycle
instances and it isn't clear what the barriers add.
blk_mq_check_expired() can easily read STARTED from N-2'th iteration,
deadline from N-1'th, blk_mark_rq_complete() against Nth instance.

In fact, it's pretty easy to make blk_mq_check_expired() terminate a
later instance of a request.  If we induce 5 sec delay before
time_after_eq() test in blk_mq_check_expired(), shorten the timeout to
2s, and issue back-to-back large IOs, blk-mq starts timing out
requests spuriously pretty quickly.  Nothing actually timed out.  It
just made the call on a recycle instance of a request and then
terminated a later instance long after the original instance finished.
The scenario isn't theoretical either.

This patch replaces the broken synchronization mechanism with a RCU
and generation number based one.

1. Each request has a u64 generation + state value, which can be
   updated only by the request owner.  Whenever a request becomes
   in-flight, the generation number gets bumped up too.  This provides
   the basis for the timeout path to distinguish different recycle
   instances of the request.

   Also, marking a request in-flight and setting its deadline are
   protected with a seqcount so that the timeout path can fetch both
   values coherently.

2. The timeout path fetches the generation, state and deadline.  If
   the verdict is timeout, it records the generation into a dedicated
   request abortion field and does RCU wait.

3. The completion path is also protected by RCU (from the previous
   patch) and checks whether the current generation number and state
   match the abortion field.  If so, it skips completion.

4. The timeout path, after RCU wait, scans requests again and
   terminates the ones whose generation and state still match the ones
   requested for abortion.

   By now, the timeout path knows that either the generation number
   and state changed if it lost the race or the completion will yield
   to it and can safely timeout the request.

While it's more lines of code, it's conceptually simpler, doesn't
depend on direct use of subtle memory ordering or coherence, and
hopefully doesn't terminate the wrong instance.

While this change makes REQ_ATOM_COMPLETE synchronization unnecessary
between issue/complete and timeout paths, REQ_ATOM_COMPLETE isn't
removed yet as it's still used in other places.  Future patches will
move all state tracking to the new mechanism and remove all bitops in
the hot paths.

Note that this patch adds a comment explaining a race condition in
BLK_EH_RESET_TIMER path.  The race has always been there and this
patch doesn't change it.  It's just documenting the existing race.

v2: - Fixed BLK_EH_RESET_TIMER handling as pointed out by Jianchao.
    - s/request->gstate_seqc/request->gstate_seq/ as suggested by Peter.
    - READ_ONCE() added in blk_mq_rq_update_state() as suggested by Peter.

v3: - Fixed possible extended seqcount / u64_stats_sync read looping
      spotted by Peter.
    - MQ_RQ_IDLE was incorrectly being set in complete_request instead
      of free_request.  Fixed.

v4: - Rebased on top of hctx_lock() refactoring patch.
    - Added comment explaining the use of hctx_lock() in completion path.

v5: - Added comments requested by Bart.
    - Note the addition of BLK_EH_RESET_TIMER race condition in the
      commit message.

Jens Axboe 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.

Greg Kroah-Hartman b24413180f License cleanup: add SPDX GPL-2.0 license identifier to files with no license
Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which
makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license.

By default all files without license information are under the default
license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2.

Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0'
SPDX license identifier.  The SPDX identifier is a legally binding
shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text.

This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and
Philippe Ombredanne.

How this work was done:

Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of
the use cases:
 - file had no licensing information it it.
 - file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it,
 - file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information,

Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases
where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license
had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords.

The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to
a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the
output of two independent scanners (ScanCode & Windriver) producing SPDX
tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne.  Philippe prepared the
base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files.

The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files
assessed.  Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner
results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s)
to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not
immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was:
 - Files considered eligible had to be source code files.
 - Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained >5
   lines of source
 - File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if <5
   lines).

All documentation files were explicitly excluded.

The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license
identifiers to apply.

 - when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was
   considered to have no license information in it, and the top level
   COPYING file license applied.

   For non */uapi/* files that summary was:

   SPDX license identifier                            # files
   ---------------------------------------------------|-------
   GPL-2.0                                              11139

   and resulted in the first patch in this series.

   If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH
   Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0".  Results of that was:

   SPDX license identifier                            # files
   ---------------------------------------------------|-------
   GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note                        930

   and resulted in the second patch in this series.

 - if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one
   of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if
   any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in
   it (per prior point).  Results summary:

   SPDX license identifier                            # files
   ---------------------------------------------------|------
   GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note                       270
   GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                      169
   ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause)    21
   ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause)    17
   LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                      15
   GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                       14
   ((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause)    5
   LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                       4
   LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note                        3
   ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT)              3
   ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT)             1

   and that resulted in the third patch in this series.

 - when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became
   the concluded license(s).

 - when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a
   license but the other didn't, or they both detected different
   licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred.

 - In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file
   resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and
   which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics).

 - When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was
   confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

 - If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier,
   the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later
   in time.

In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the
spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the
source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation
by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from
FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners
disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights.  The
Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so
they are related.

Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets
for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the
files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks
in about 15000 files.

In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have
copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the
correct identifier.

Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual
inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch
version early this week with:
 - a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected
   license ids and scores
 - reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+
   files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct
 - reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license
   was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied
   SPDX license was correct

This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction.  This
worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the
different types of files to be modified.

These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg.  Thomas wrote a script to
parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the
format that the file expected.  This script was further refined by Greg
based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to
distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different
comment types.)  Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to
generate the patches.

Ming Lei 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.

Ming Lei 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.

Paolo Valente correctly summarized why the crash occured with:
"the call chain (dm_mq_queue_rq -> map_request -> setup_clone ->
blk_rq_prep_clone) creates a cloned request without invoking
e->type->ops.mq.prepare_request for the target elevator e.  The cloned
request is therefore not initialized for the scheduler, but it is
however inserted into the scheduler by blk_mq_sched_insert_request."

All said, a request-based DM multipath device's IO scheduler should be
the only one used -- when the original requests are issued to the
underlying paths as cloned requests they are inserted directly in the
underlying dispatch queue(s) rather than through an additional elevator.

But commit bd166ef18 ("blk-mq-sched: add framework for MQ capable IO
schedulers") switched blk_insert_cloned_request() from using
blk_mq_insert_request() to blk_mq_sched_insert_request().  Which
incorrectly added elevator machinery into a call chain that isn't
supposed to have any.

To fix this introduce a blk-mq private blk_mq_request_bypass_insert()
that blk_insert_cloned_request() calls to insert the request without
involving any elevator that may be attached to the cloned request's
request_queue.

Linus Torvalds 03ffbcdd78 Merge branch 'irq-core-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip
Pull irq updates from Thomas Gleixner:
 "The irq department delivers:

   - Expand the generic infrastructure handling the irq migration on CPU
     hotplug and convert X86 over to it. (Thomas Gleixner)

     Aside of consolidating code this is a preparatory change for:

   - Finalizing the affinity management for multi-queue devices. The
     main change here is to shut down interrupts which are affine to a
     outgoing CPU and reenabling them when the CPU comes online again.
     That avoids moving interrupts pointlessly around and breaking and
     reestablishing affinities for no value. (Christoph Hellwig)

     Note: This contains also the BLOCK-MQ and NVME changes which depend
     on the rework of the irq core infrastructure. Jens acked them and
     agreed that they should go with the irq changes.

   - Consolidation of irq domain code (Marc Zyngier)

   - State tracking consolidation in the core code (Jeffy Chen)

   - Add debug infrastructure for hierarchical irq domains (Thomas
     Gleixner)

   - Infrastructure enhancement for managing generic interrupt chips via
     devmem (Bartosz Golaszewski)

   - Constification work all over the place (Tobias Klauser)

   - Two new interrupt controller drivers for MVEBU (Thomas Petazzoni)

Omar Sandoval 81380ca107 blk-mq: use the right hctx when getting a driver tag fails
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. However,
with the blk_mq_update_nr_hw_queues() fix, it showed up with nbd.

Omar Sandoval 34dbad5d26 blk-stat: convert to callback-based statistics reporting
Currently, statistics are gathered in ~0.13s windows, and users grab the
statistics whenever they need them. This is not ideal for both in-tree
users:

1. Writeback throttling wants its own dynamically sized window of
   statistics. Since the blk-stats statistics are reset after every
   window and the wbt windows don't line up with the blk-stats windows,
   wbt doesn't see every I/O.
2. Polling currently grabs the statistics on every I/O. Again, depending
   on how the window lines up, we may miss some I/Os. It's also
   unnecessary overhead to get the statistics on every I/O; the hybrid
   polling heuristic would be just as happy with the statistics from the
   previous full window.

This reworks the blk-stats infrastructure to be callback-based: users
register a callback that they want called at a given time with all of
the statistics from the window during which the callback was active.
Users can dynamically bucketize the statistics. wbt and polling both
currently use read vs. write, but polling can be extended to further
subdivide based on request size.

The callbacks are kept on an RCU list, and each callback has percpu
stats buffers. There will only be a few users, so the overhead on the
I/O completion side is low. The stats flushing is also simplified
considerably: since the timer function is responsible for clearing the
statistics, we don't have to worry about stale statistics.

wbt is a trivial conversion. After the conversion, the windowing problem
mentioned above is fixed.

For polling, we register an extra callback that caches the previous
window's statistics in the struct request_queue for the hybrid polling
heuristic to use.

Since we no longer have a single stats buffer for the request queue,
this also removes the sysfs and debugfs stats entries. To replace those,
we add a debugfs entry for the poll statistics.

Jens Axboe cf43e6be86 block: add scalable completion tracking of requests
For legacy block, we simply track them in the request queue. For
blk-mq, we track them on a per-sw queue basis, which we can then
sum up through the hardware queues and finally to a per device
state.

The stats are tracked in, roughly, 0.1s interval windows.

Add sysfs files to display the stats.

The feature is off by default, to avoid any extra overhead. In-kernel
users of it can turn it on by setting QUEUE_FLAG_STATS in the queue
flags. We currently don't turn it on if someone just reads any of
the stats files, that is something we could add as well.

Keith Busch 868f2f0b72 blk-mq: dynamic h/w context count
The hardware's provided queue count may change at runtime with resource
provisioning. This patch allows a block driver to alter the number of
h/w queues available when its resource count changes.

The main part is a new blk-mq API to request a new number of h/w queues
for a given live tag set. The new API freezes all queues using that set,
then adjusts the allocated count prior to remapping these to CPUs.

The bulk of the rest just shifts where h/w contexts and all their
artifacts are allocated and freed.

The number of max h/w contexts is capped to the number of possible cpus
since there is no use for more than that. As such, all pre-allocated
memory for pointers need to account for the max possible rather than
the initial number of queues.

A side effect of this is that the blk-mq will proceed successfully as
long as it can allocate at least one h/w context. Previously it would
fail request queue initialization if less than the requested number
was allocated.

Akinobu Mita 5778322e67 blk-mq: avoid inserting requests before establishing new mapping
Notifier callbacks for CPU_ONLINE action can be run on the other CPU
than the CPU which was just onlined.  So it is possible for the
process running on the just onlined CPU to insert request and run
hw queue before establishing new mapping which is done by
blk_mq_queue_reinit_notify().

This can cause a problem when the CPU has just been onlined first time
since the request queue was initialized.  At this time ctx->index_hw
for the CPU, which is the index in hctx->ctxs[] for this ctx, is still
zero before blk_mq_queue_reinit_notify() is called by notifier
callbacks for CPU_ONLINE action.

For example, there is a single hw queue (hctx) and two CPU queues
(ctx0 for CPU0, and ctx1 for CPU1).  Now CPU1 is just onlined and
a request is inserted into ctx1->rq_list and set bit0 in pending
bitmap as ctx1->index_hw is still zero.

And then while running hw queue, flush_busy_ctxs() finds bit0 is set
in pending bitmap and tries to retrieve requests in
hctx->ctxs[0]->rq_list.  But htx->ctxs[0] is a pointer to ctx0, so the
request in ctx1->rq_list is ignored.

Fix it by ensuring that new mapping is established before onlined cpu
starts running.

Tejun Heo 780db2071a blk-mq: decouble blk-mq freezing from generic bypassing
blk_mq freezing is entangled with generic bypassing which bypasses
blkcg and io scheduler and lets IO requests fall through the block
layer to the drivers in FIFO order.  This allows forward progress on
IOs with the advanced features disabled so that those features can be
configured or altered without worrying about stalling IO which may
lead to deadlock through memory allocation.

However, generic bypassing doesn't quite fit blk-mq.  blk-mq currently
doesn't make use of blkcg or ioscheds and it maps bypssing to
freezing, which blocks request processing and drains all the in-flight
ones.  This causes problems as bypassing assumes that request
processing is online.  blk-mq works around this by conditionally
allowing request processing for the problem case - during queue
initialization.

Another weirdity is that except for during queue cleanup, bypassing
started on the generic side prevents blk-mq from processing new
requests but doesn't drain the in-flight ones.  This shouldn't break
anything but again highlights that something isn't quite right here.

The root cause is conflating blk-mq freezing and generic bypassing
which are two different mechanisms.  The only intersecting purpose
that they serve is during queue cleanup.  Let's properly separate
blk-mq freezing from generic bypassing and simply use it where
necessary.

* request_queue->mq_freeze_depth is added and
  blk_mq_[un]freeze_queue() now operate on this counter instead of
  ->bypass_depth.  The replacement for QUEUE_FLAG_BYPASS isn't added
  but the counter is tested directly.  This will be further updated by
  later changes.

* blk_mq_drain_queue() is dropped and "__" prefix is dropped from
  blk_mq_freeze_queue().  Queue cleanup path now calls
  blk_mq_freeze_queue() directly.

* blk_queue_enter()'s fast path condition is simplified to simply
  check @q->mq_freeze_depth.  Previously, the condition was

	!blk_queue_dying(q) &&
	    (!blk_queue_bypass(q) || !blk_queue_init_done(q))

  mq_freeze_depth is incremented right after dying is set and
  blk_queue_init_done() exception isn't necessary as blk-mq doesn't
  start frozen, which only leaves the blk_queue_bypass() test which
  can be replaced by @q->mq_freeze_depth test.

This change simplifies the code and reduces confusion in the area.

Jens Axboe 4bb659b156 blk-mq: implement new and more efficient tagging scheme
blk-mq currently uses percpu_ida for tag allocation. But that only
works well if the ratio between tag space and number of CPUs is
sufficiently high. For most devices and systems, that is not the
case. The end result if that we either only utilize the tag space
partially, or we end up attempting to fully exhaust it and run
into lots of lock contention with stealing between CPUs. This is
not optimal.

This new tagging scheme is a hybrid bitmap allocator. It uses
two tricks to both be SMP friendly and allow full exhaustion
of the space:

1) We cache the last allocated (or freed) tag on a per blk-mq
   software context basis. This allows us to limit the space
   we have to search. The key element here is not caching it
   in the shared tag structure, otherwise we end up dirtying
   more shared cache lines on each allocate/free operation.

2) The tag space is split into cache line sized groups, and
   each context will start off randomly in that space. Even up
   to full utilization of the space, this divides the tag users
   efficiently into cache line groups, avoiding dirtying the same
   one both between allocators and between allocator and freeer.

This scheme shows drastically better behaviour, both on small
tag spaces but on large ones as well. It has been tested extensively
to show better performance for all the cases blk-mq cares about.

Christoph Hellwig 3853520163 blk-mq: respect rq_affinity
The blk-mq code is using it's own version of the I/O completion affinity
tunables, which causes a few issues:

 - the rq_affinity sysfs file doesn't work for blk-mq devices, even if it
   still is present, thus breaking existing tuning setups.
 - the rq_affinity = 1 mode, which is the defauly for legacy request based
   drivers isn't implemented at all.
 - blk-mq drivers don't implement any completion affinity with the default
   flag settings.

This patches removes the blk-mq ipi_redirect flag and sysfs file, as well
as the internal BLK_MQ_F_SHOULD_IPI flag and replaces it with code that
respects the queue-wide rq_affinity flags and also implements the
rq_affinity = 1 mode.

This means I/O completion affinity can now only be tuned block-queue wide
instead of per context, which seems more sensible to me anyway.

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.

This effectively reverts most of

    "blk-mq: fix for flush deadlock"

and

    "blk-mq: Don't reserve a tag for flush request"

Christoph Hellwig 30a91cb4ef blk-mq: rework I/O completions
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.  The latter is very important to allow
completing requests that have timed out and thus are already marked completed,
the former allows using the IPI callout even for driver specific completions
instead of having to reimplement them.

Christoph Hellwig 3d6efbf62c blk-mq: use __smp_call_function_single directly
__smp_call_function_single already avoids multiple IPIs by internally
queing up the items, and now also is available for non-SMP builds as
a trivially correct stub, so there is no need to wrap it.  If the
additional lock roundtrip cause problems my patch to convert the
generic IPI code to llists is waiting to get merged will fix it.

Ming Lei 3edcc0ce85 block: blk-mq: don't export blk_mq_free_queue()
blk_mq_free_queue() is called from release handler of
queue kobject, so it needn't be called from drivers.

Ming Lei 43a5e4e219 block: blk-mq: support draining mq queue
blk_mq_drain_queue() is introduced so that we can drain
mq queue inside blk_cleanup_queue().

Also don't accept new requests any more if queue is marked
as dying.

Jens Axboe 320ae51fee blk-mq: new multi-queue block IO queueing mechanism
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).
