      dm: impose configurable deadline for dm_request_fn's merge heuristic · 0ce65797
      由 Mike Snitzer 提交于 
      Otherwise, for sequential workloads, the dm_request_fn can allow
excessive request merging at the expense of increased service time.

Add a per-device sysfs attribute to allow the user to control how long a
request, that is a reasonable merge candidate, can be queued on the
request queue.  The resolution of this request dispatch deadline is in
microseconds (ranging from 1 to 100000 usecs), to set a 20us deadline:
  echo 20 > /sys/block/dm-7/dm/rq_based_seq_io_merge_deadline

The dm_request_fn's merge heuristic and associated extra accounting is
disabled by default (rq_based_seq_io_merge_deadline is 0).

This sysfs attribute is not applicable to bio-based DM devices so it
will only ever report 0 for them.

By allowing a request to remain on the queue it will block others
requests on the queue.  But introducing a short dequeue delay has proven
very effective at enabling certain sequential IO workloads on really
fast, yet IOPS constrained, devices to build up slightly larger IOs --
yielding 90+% throughput improvements.  Having precise control over the
time taken to wait for larger requests to build affords control beyond
that of waiting for certain IO sizes to accumulate (which would require
a deadline anyway).  This knob will only ever make sense with sequential
IO workloads and the particular value used is storage configuration
specific.

Given the expected niche use-case for when this knob is useful it has
been deemed acceptable to expose this relatively crude method for
crafting optimal IO on specific storage -- especially given the solution
is simple yet effective.  In the context of DM multipath, it is
advisable to tune this sysfs attribute to a value that offers the best
performance for the common case (e.g. if 4 paths are expected active,
tune for that; if paths fail then performance may be slightly reduced).

Alternatives were explored to have request-based DM autotune this value
(e.g. if/when paths fail) but they were quickly deemed too fragile and
complex to warrant further design and development time.  If this problem
proves more common as faster storage emerges we'll have to look at
elevating a generic solution into the block core.

      dm: don't start current request if it would've merged with the previous · de3ec86d
      由 Mike Snitzer 提交于 
      Request-based DM's dm_request_fn() is so fast to pull requests off the
queue that steps need to be taken to promote merging by avoiding request
processing if it makes sense.

If the current request would've merged with previous request let the
current request stay on the queue longer.

      dm: reduce the queue delay used in dm_request_fn from 100ms to 10ms · d548b34b

      Commit 7eaceacc ("block: remove per-queue plugging") didn't justify
DM's use of a 100ms delay; such an extended delay is a liability when
there is reason to re-kick the queue.

      dm: only run the queue on completion if congested or no requests pending · 9a0e609e
      由 Mike Snitzer 提交于 
      On really fast storage it can be beneficial to delay running the
request_queue to allow the elevator more opportunity to merge requests.

Otherwise, it has been observed that requests are being sent to
q->request_fn much quicker than is ideal on IOPS-bound backends.

      dm: remove request-based logic from make_request_fn wrapper · ff36ab34
      由 Mike Snitzer 提交于 
      The old dm_request() method used for q->make_request_fn had a branch for
request-based DM support but it isn't needed given that
dm_init_request_based_queue() sets it to the standard blk_queue_bio()
anyway.

Cleanup dm_init_md_queue() to be DM device-type agnostic and have
dm_setup_md_queue() properly finish queue setup based on DM device-type
(bio-based vs request-based).

A followup block patch can be made to remove the export for
blk_queue_bio() now that DM no longer calls it directly.

      block: fix blk_stack_limits() regression due to lcm() change · e9637415
      由 Mike Snitzer 提交于 
      Linux 3.19 commit 69c953c8 ("lib/lcm.c: lcm(n,0)=lcm(0,n) is 0, not n")
caused blk_stack_limits() to not properly stack queue_limits for stacked
devices (e.g. DM).

Fix this regression by establishing lcm_not_zero() and switching
blk_stack_limits() over to using it.

DM uses blk_set_stacking_limits() to establish the initial top-level
queue_limits that are then built up based on underlying devices' limits
using blk_stack_limits().  In the case of optimal_io_size (io_opt)
blk_set_stacking_limits() establishes a default value of 0.  With commit
69c953c8, lcm(0, n) is no longer n, which compromises proper stacking of
the underlying devices' io_opt.

Test:
$ modprobe scsi_debug dev_size_mb=10 num_tgts=1 opt_blks=1536
$ cat /sys/block/sde/queue/optimal_io_size
786432
$ dmsetup create node --table "0 100 linear /dev/sde 0"

Before this fix:
$ cat /sys/block/dm-5/queue/optimal_io_size
0

After this fix:
$ cat /sys/block/dm-5/queue/optimal_io_size
