      block: add scalable completion tracking of requests · cf43e6be
      Jens Axboe 提交于
      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.

      blk-mq: account higher order dispatch · 703fd1c0

      We currently account a '0' dispatch, and anything above that still falls

      blk-mq: dynamic h/w context count · 868f2f0b
      Keith Busch 提交于
      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.

      block: add block polling support · 05229bee
      Jens Axboe 提交于
      Add basic support for polling for specific IO to complete. This uses
      the cookie that blk-mq passes back, which enables the block layer
      to pass this cookie to the driver to spin for a specific request.
      
      This will be combined with request latency tracking, so we can make
      qualified decisions about when to poll and when not to. For now, for
      benchmark purposes, we add a sysfs file that controls whether polling
      is enabled or not.

      block: generic request_queue reference counting · 3ef28e83
      Dan Williams 提交于
      Allow pmem, and other synchronous/bio-based block drivers, to fallback
      on a per-cpu reference count managed by the core for tracking queue
      live/dead state.
      
      The existing per-cpu reference count for the blk_mq case is promoted to
      be used in all block i/o scenarios.  This involves initializing it by
      default, waiting for it to drop to zero at exit, and holding a live
      reference over the invocation of q->make_request_fn() in
      generic_make_request().  The blk_mq code continues to take its own
      reference per blk_mq request and retains the ability to freeze the
      queue, but the check that the queue is frozen is moved to
      generic_make_request().
      
      This fixes crash signatures like the following:

      blk-mq: fix deadlock when reading cpu_list · 60de074b
      Akinobu Mita 提交于
      CPU hotplug handling for blk-mq (blk_mq_queue_reinit) acquires
      all_q_mutex in blk_mq_queue_reinit_notify() and then removes sysfs
      entries by blk_mq_sysfs_unregister().  Removing sysfs entry needs to
      be blocked until the active reference of the kernfs_node to be zero.
      
      On the other hand, reading blk_mq_hw_sysfs_cpu sysfs entry (e.g.
      /sys/block/nullb0/mq/0/cpu_list) acquires all_q_mutex in
      blk_mq_hw_sysfs_cpus_show().
      
      If these happen at the same time, a deadlock can happen.  Because one
      can wait for the active reference to be zero with holding all_q_mutex,
      and the other tries to acquire all_q_mutex with holding the active
      reference.
      
      The reason that all_q_mutex is acquired in blk_mq_hw_sysfs_cpus_show()
      is to avoid reading an imcomplete hctx->cpumask.  Since reading sysfs
      entry for blk-mq needs to acquire q->sysfs_lock, we can avoid deadlock
      and reading an imcomplete hctx->cpumask by protecting q->sysfs_lock
      while hctx->cpumask is being updated.

      blk-mq: fix sysfs registration/unregistration race · 4593fdbe
      Akinobu Mita 提交于
      There is a race between cpu hotplug handling and adding/deleting
      gendisk for blk-mq, where both are trying to register and unregister
      the same sysfs entries.
      
      null_add_dev
          --> blk_mq_init_queue
              --> blk_mq_init_allocated_queue
                  --> add to 'all_q_list' (*)
          --> add_disk
              --> blk_register_queue
                  --> blk_mq_register_disk (++)
      
      null_del_dev
          --> del_gendisk
              --> blk_unregister_queue
                  --> blk_mq_unregister_disk (--)
          --> blk_cleanup_queue
              --> blk_mq_free_queue
                  --> del from 'all_q_list' (*)
      
      blk_mq_queue_reinit
          --> blk_mq_sysfs_unregister (-)
          --> blk_mq_sysfs_register (+)
      
      While the request queue is added to 'all_q_list' (*),
      blk_mq_queue_reinit() can be called for the queue anytime by CPU
      hotplug callback.  But blk_mq_sysfs_unregister (-) and
      blk_mq_sysfs_register (+) in blk_mq_queue_reinit must not be called
      before blk_mq_register_disk (++) and after blk_mq_unregister_disk (--)
      is finished.  Because '/sys/block/*/mq/' is not exists.
      
      There has already been BLK_MQ_F_SYSFS_UP flag in hctx->flags which can
      be used to track these sysfs stuff, but it is only fixing this issue
      partially.
      
      In order to fix it completely, we just need per-queue flag instead of
      per-hctx flag with appropriate locking.  So this introduces
      q->mq_sysfs_init_done which is properly protected with all_q_mutex.
      
      Also, we need to ensure that blk_mq_map_swqueue() is called with
      all_q_mutex is held.  Since hctx->nr_ctx is reset temporarily and
      updated in blk_mq_map_swqueue(), so we should avoid
      blk_mq_register_hctx() seeing the temporary hctx->nr_ctx value
      in CPU hotplug handling or adding/deleting gendisk .

      blk-mq: add blk_mq_init_allocated_queue and export blk_mq_register_disk · b62c21b7
      Mike Snitzer 提交于
      Add a variant of blk_mq_init_queue that allows a previously allocated
      queue to be initialized.  blk_mq_init_allocated_queue models
      blk_init_allocated_queue -- which was also created for DM's use.
      
      DM's approach to device creation requires a placeholder request_queue be
      allocated for use with alloc_dev() but the decision about what type of
      request_queue will be ultimately created is deferred until all component
      devices referenced in the DM table are processed to determine the table
      type (request-based, blk-mq request-based, or bio-based).
      
      Also, because of DM's late finalization of the request_queue type
      the call to blk_mq_register_disk() doesn't happen during alloc_dev().
      Must export blk_mq_register_disk() so that DM can backfill the 'mq' dir
      once the blk-mq queue is fully allocated.

      This is indeed because of an uninitialized kobject for blk_mq_ctx.
      The blk_mq_ctx kobjects are initialized in blk_mq_sysfs_init(), but it
      goes loop over hctx_for_each_ctx(), i.e. it initializes only for
      online CPUs.  Thus, when a CPU is hotplugged, the ctx for the newly
      onlined CPU is registered without initialization.
      
      This patch fixes the issue by initializing the all ctx kobjects
      belonging to each queue.

      freeze.  percpu_ref shutdown takes measureable wallclock time as it
      involves a sched RCU grace period.  This means that draining a blk-mq
      takes measureable wallclock time.  One would think that this shouldn't
      matter as queue shutdown should be a rare event which takes place
      asynchronously w.r.t. userland.
      
      Unfortunately, SCSI probing involves synchronously setting up and then
      tearing down a lot of request_queues back-to-back for non-existent
      LUNs.  This means that SCSI probing may take above ten seconds when
      scsi-mq is used.

      This is also the reason why request_queues start in bypass mode which
      is ended on blk_register_queue() as shutting down a fully functional
      queue also involves a RCU grace period and the queues for non-existent
      SCSI devices never reach registration.
      
      blk-mq basically needs to do the same thing - start the mq in a
      degraded mode which is faster to shut down and then make it fully
      functional only after the queue reaches registration.  percpu_ref
      recently grew facilities to force atomic operation until explicitly
      switched to percpu mode, which can be used for this purpose.  This
      patch makes blk-mq initialize q->mq_usage_counter in atomic mode and
      switch it to percpu mode only once blk_register_queue() is reached.
      
      Note that this issue was previously worked around by 0a30288d
      ("blk-mq, percpu_ref: implement a kludge for SCSI blk-mq stall during
      probe") for v3.17.  The temp fix was reverted in preparation of adding
      persistent atomic mode to percpu_ref by 9eca8046 ("Revert "blk-mq,
      percpu_ref: implement a kludge for SCSI blk-mq stall during probe"").
      This patch and the prerequisite percpu_ref changes will be merged
      during v3.18 devel cycle.

      blk-mq: make the sysfs mq/ layout reflect current mappings · 67aec14c
      Jens Axboe 提交于
      Currently blk-mq registers all the hardware queues in sysfs,
      regardless of whether it uses them (e.g. they have CPU mappings)
      or not. The unused hardware queues lack the cpux/ directories,
      and the other sysfs entries (like active, pending, etc) are all
      zeroes.
      
      Change this so that sysfs correctly reflects the current mappings
      of the hardware queues.

      blk-mq: improve support for shared tags maps · 0d2602ca
      Jens Axboe 提交于
      This adds support for active queue tracking, meaning that the
      blk-mq tagging maintains a count of active users of a tag set.
      This allows us to maintain a notion of fairness between users,
      so that we can distribute the tag depth evenly without starving
      some users while allowing others to try unfair deep queues.
      
      If sharing of a tag set is detected, each hardware queue will
      track the depth of its own queue. And if this exceeds the total
      depth divided by the number of active queues, the user is actively
      throttled down.
      
      The active queue count is done lazily to avoid bouncing that data
      between submitter and completer. Each hardware queue gets marked
      active when it allocates its first tag, and gets marked inactive
      when 1) the last tag is cleared, and 2) the queue timeout grace
      period has passed.

      blk-mq: respect rq_affinity · 38535201
      Christoph Hellwig 提交于
      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.

      blk-mq: new multi-queue block IO queueing mechanism · 320ae51f
      Jens Axboe 提交于
      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).
