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

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.

The flush state machine takes in a struct request, which then is
submitted multiple times to the underling driver.  The old block code
requeses the same request for each of those, so it does not have an
issue with tapping into the request pool.  The new one on the other hand
allocates a new request for each of the actualy steps of the flush
sequence. If have already allocated all of the tags for IO, we will
fail allocating the flush request.

Set aside a reserved request just for flushes.

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).

Using wait_for_completion() for waiting for a IO request to be executed
results in wrong iowait time accounting. For example, a system having
the only task doing write() and fdatasync() on a block device can be
reported being idle instead of iowaiting as it should because
blkdev_issue_flush() calls wait_for_completion() which in turn calls
schedule() that does not increment the iowait proc counter and thus does
not turn on iowait time accounting.

The patch makes block layer use wait_for_completion_io() instead of
wait_for_completion() where appropriate to account iowait time
correctly.

A dm-multipath user reported[1] a problem when trying to boot
a kernel with commit 4853abaa
(block: fix flush machinery for stacking drivers with differring
flush flags) applied.  It turns out that an empty flush request
can be sent into blk_insert_flush.  When the BUG_ON was fixed
to allow for this, I/O on the underlying device would stall.  The
reason is that blk_insert_cloned_request does not kick the queue.
In the aforementioned commit, I had added a special case to
kick the queue if data was sent down but the queue flags did
not require a flush.  A better solution is to push the queue
kick up into blk_insert_cloned_request.

This patch, along with a follow-on which fixes the BUG_ON, fixes
the issue reported.

A user reported a regression due to commit

Part of the problem is that blk_insert_flush required a
single bio be attached to the request.  In reality, having
no attached bio is also a valid case, as can be observed with
an empty flush.

Commit ae1b1539, block: reimplement
FLUSH/FUA to support merge, introduced a performance regression when
running any sort of fsyncing workload using dm-multipath and certain
storage (in our case, an HP EVA).  The test I ran was fs_mark, and it
dropped from ~800 files/sec on ext4 to ~100 files/sec.  It turns out
that dm-multipath always advertised flush+fua support, and passed
commands on down the stack, where those flags used to get stripped off.
The above commit changed that behavior:

static inline struct request *__elv_next_request(struct request_queue *q)
{
        struct request *rq;

        while (1) {
-               while (!list_empty(&q->queue_head)) {
+               if (!list_empty(&q->queue_head)) {
                        rq = list_entry_rq(q->queue_head.next);
-                       if (!(rq->cmd_flags & (REQ_FLUSH | REQ_FUA)) ||
-                           (rq->cmd_flags & REQ_FLUSH_SEQ))
-                               return rq;
-                       rq = blk_do_flush(q, rq);
-                       if (rq)
-                               return rq;
+                       return rq;
                }

Note that previously, a command would come in here, have
REQ_FLUSH|REQ_FUA set, and then get handed off to blk_do_flush:

struct request *blk_do_flush(struct request_queue *q, struct request *rq)
{
        unsigned int fflags = q->flush_flags; /* may change, cache it */
        bool has_flush = fflags & REQ_FLUSH, has_fua = fflags & REQ_FUA;
        bool do_preflush = has_flush && (rq->cmd_flags & REQ_FLUSH);
        bool do_postflush = has_flush && !has_fua && (rq->cmd_flags &
        REQ_FUA);
        unsigned skip = 0;
...
        if (blk_rq_sectors(rq) && !do_preflush && !do_postflush) {
                rq->cmd_flags &= ~REQ_FLUSH;
		if (!has_fua)
			rq->cmd_flags &= ~REQ_FUA;
	        return rq;
	}

So, the flush machinery was bypassed in such cases (q->flush_flags == 0
&& rq->cmd_flags & (REQ_FLUSH|REQ_FUA)).

Now, however, we don't get into the flush machinery at all.  Instead,
__elv_next_request just hands a request with flush and fua bits set to
the scsi_request_fn, even if the underlying request_queue does not
support flush or fua.

The agreed upon approach is to fix the flush machinery to allow
stacking.  While this isn't used in practice (since there is only one
request-based dm target, and that target will now reflect the flush
flags of the underlying device), it does future-proof the solution, and
make it function as designed.

In order to make this work, I had to add a field to the struct request,
inside the flush structure (to store the original req->end_io).  Shaohua
had suggested overloading the union with rb_node and completion_data,
but the completion data is used by device mapper and can also be used by
other drivers.  So, I didn't see a way around the additional field.

I tested this patch on an HP EVA with both ext4 and xfs, and it recovers
the lost performance.  Comments and other testers, as always, are
appreciated.

blk_insert_flush has the following check:

	/*
	 * If there's data but flush is not necessary, the request can be
	 * processed directly without going through flush machinery.  Queue
	 * for normal execution.
	 */
	if ((policy & REQ_FSEQ_DATA) &&
	    !(policy & (REQ_FSEQ_PREFLUSH | REQ_FSEQ_POSTFLUSH))) {
		list_add_tail(&rq->queuelist, &q->queue_head);
		return;
	}

However, blk_flush_policy will not return with policy set to only
REQ_FSEQ_DATA:

static unsigned int blk_flush_policy(unsigned int fflags, struct request *rq)
{
	unsigned int policy = 0;

	if (fflags & REQ_FLUSH) {
		if (rq->cmd_flags & REQ_FLUSH)
			policy |= REQ_FSEQ_PREFLUSH;
		if (blk_rq_sectors(rq))
			policy |= REQ_FSEQ_DATA;
		if (!(fflags & REQ_FUA) && (rq->cmd_flags & REQ_FUA))
			policy |= REQ_FSEQ_POSTFLUSH;
	}
	return policy;
}

Notice that REQ_FSEQ_DATA is only set if REQ_FLUSH is set.  Fix this
mismatch by moving the setting of REQ_FSEQ_DATA outside of the REQ_FLUSH
check.

Tejun notes:

  Hmmm... yes, this can become a correctness issue if (and only if)
  blk_queue_flush() is called to change q->flush_flags while requests
  are in-flight; otherwise, requests wouldn't reach the function at all.
  Also, I think it would be a generally good idea to always set
  FSEQ_DATA if the request has data.

In some drives, flush requests are non-queueable. When flush request is
running, normal read/write requests can't run. If block layer dispatches
such request, driver can't handle it and requeue it.  Tejun suggested we
can hold the queue when flush is running. This can avoid unnecessary
requeue.  Also this can improve performance. For example, we have
request flush1, write1, flush 2. flush1 is dispatched, then queue is
hold, write1 isn't inserted to queue. After flush1 is finished, flush2
will be dispatched. Since disk cache is already clean, flush2 will be
finished very soon, so looks like flush2 is folded to flush1.

In my test, the queue holding completely solves a regression introduced by
commit 53d63e6b:

    block: make the flush insertion use the tail of the dispatch list

    It's not a preempt type request, in fact we have to insert it
    behind requests that do specify INSERT_FRONT.

which causes about 20% regression running a sysbench fileio
workload.

This patch adds support for creating a queuing context outside
of the queue itself. This enables us to batch up pieces of IO
before grabbing the block device queue lock and submitting them to
the IO scheduler.

The context is created on the stack of the process and assigned in
the task structure, so that we can auto-unplug it if we hit a schedule
event.

The current queue plugging happens implicitly if IO is submitted to
an empty device, yet callers have to remember to unplug that IO when
they are going to wait for it. This is an ugly API and has caused bugs
in the past. Additionally, it requires hacks in the vm (->sync_page()
callback) to handle that logic. By switching to an explicit plugging
scheme we make the API a lot nicer and can get rid of the ->sync_page()
hack in the vm.

blk-flush decomposes a flush into sequence of multiple requests.  On
completion of a request, the next one is queued; however, block layer
must not implicitly call into q->request_fn() directly from completion
path.  This makes the queue behave unexpectedly when seen from the
drivers and violates the assumption that q->request_fn() is called
with process context + queue_lock.

This patch makes blk-flush the following two changes to make sure
q->request_fn() is not called directly from request completion path.

- blk_flush_complete_seq_end_io() now asks __blk_run_queue() to always
  use kblockd instead of calling directly into q->request_fn().

- queue_next_fseq() uses ELEVATOR_INSERT_REQUEUE instead of
  ELEVATOR_INSERT_FRONT so that elv_insert() doesn't try to unplug the
  request queue directly.

The current FLUSH/FUA support has evolved from the implementation
which had to perform queue draining.  As such, sequencing is done
queue-wide one flush request after another.  However, with the
draining requirement gone, there's no reason to keep the queue-wide
sequential approach.

This patch reimplements FLUSH/FUA support such that each FLUSH/FUA
request is sequenced individually.  The actual FLUSH execution is
double buffered and whenever a request wants to execute one for either
PRE or POSTFLUSH, it queues on the pending queue.  Once certain
conditions are met, a flush request is issued and on its completion
all pending requests proceed to the next sequence.

This allows arbitrary merging of different type of flushes.  How they
are merged can be primarily controlled and tuned by adjusting the
above said 'conditions' used to determine when to issue the next
flush.

This is inspired by Darrick's patches to merge multiple zero-data
flushes which helps workloads with highly concurrent fsync requests.

* As flush requests are never put on the IO scheduler, request fields
  used for flush share space with rq->rb_node.  rq->completion_data is
  moved out of the union.  This increases the request size by one
  pointer.

  As rq->elevator_private* are used only by the iosched too, it is
  possible to reduce the request size further.  However, to do that,
  we need to modify request allocation path such that iosched data is
  not allocated for flush requests.

* FLUSH/FUA processing happens on insertion now instead of dispatch.

All the blkdev_issue_* helpers can only sanely be used for synchronous

to set up a bio by itself with a completion callback to move the asynchronous

specified when calling blkdev_issue_* and also remove the now unused flags
argument to blkdev_issue_flush and blkdev_issue_zeroout.  For
blkdev_issue_discard we need to keep it for the secure discard flag, which
gains a more descriptive name and loses the bitops vs flag confusion.

rq->rq_disk and bio->bi_bdev->bd_disk may differ if a request has
passed through remapping drivers.  FSEQ_DATA request incorrectly
followed bio->bi_bdev->bd_disk ending up being issued w/ mismatching
rq_disk.  Make it follow orig_rq->rq_disk.

While completing a request from a REQ_FLUSH/FUA sequence, another
request can be pushed to the request queue.  If a driver tests
elv_queue_empty() before completing a request and runs the queue again
only if the queue wasn't empty, this may lead to hang.  Please note
that most drivers either kick the queue unconditionally or test queue
emptiness after completing the current request and don't have this
problem.

This patch removes this possibility by making REQ_FLUSH/FUA sequence
code kick the queue if the queue was empty before completing a request
from REQ_FLUSH/FUA sequence.

We need to call blk_rq_init and elv_insert for all cases in queue_next_fseq,
so take these calls into common code.  Also move the end_io initialization
from queue_flush into queue_next_fseq and rename queue_flush to
init_flush_request now that it's old name doesn't apply anymore.

Now that the backend conversion is complete, export sequenced
FLUSH/FUA capability through REQ_FLUSH/FUA flags.  REQ_FLUSH means the
device cache should be flushed before executing the request.  REQ_FUA
means that the data in the request should be on non-volatile media on
completion.

Block layer will choose the correct way of implementing the semantics
and execute it.  The request may be passed to the device directly if
the device can handle it; otherwise, it will be sequenced using one or
more proxy requests.  Devices will never see REQ_FLUSH and/or FUA
which it doesn't support.

Also, unlike the original REQ_HARDBARRIER, REQ_FLUSH/FUA requests are
never failed with -EOPNOTSUPP.  If the underlying device doesn't
support FLUSH/FUA, the block layer simply make those noop.  IOW, it no
longer distinguishes between writeback cache which doesn't support
cache flush and writethrough/no cache.  Devices which have WB cache
w/o flush are very difficult to come by these days and there's nothing
much we can do anyway, so it doesn't make sense to require everyone to
implement -EOPNOTSUPP handling.  This will simplify filesystems and
block drivers as they can drop -EOPNOTSUPP retry logic for barriers.

* QUEUE_ORDERED_* are removed and QUEUE_FSEQ_* are moved into
  blk-flush.c.

* REQ_FLUSH w/o data can also be directly passed to drivers without
  sequencing but some drivers assume that zero length requests don't
  have rq->bio which isn't true for these requests requiring the use
  of proxy requests.

* REQ_COMMON_MASK now includes REQ_FLUSH | REQ_FUA so that they are
  copied from bio to request.

* WRITE_BARRIER is marked deprecated and WRITE_FLUSH, WRITE_FUA and
  WRITE_FLUSH_FUA are added.

Filesystems will take all the responsibilities for ordering requests
around commit writes and will only indicate how the commit writes
themselves should be handled by block layers.  This patch drops
barrier ordering by queue draining from block layer.  Ordering by
draining implementation was somewhat invasive to request handling.
List of notable changes follow.

* Each queue has 1 bit color which is flipped on each barrier issue.
  This is used to track whether a given request is issued before the
  current barrier or not.  REQ_ORDERED_COLOR flag and coloring
  implementation in __elv_add_request() are removed.

* Requests which shouldn't be processed yet for draining were stalled
  by returning -EAGAIN from blk_do_ordered() according to the test
  result between blk_ordered_req_seq() and blk_blk_ordered_cur_seq().
  This logic is removed.

* Draining completion logic in elv_completed_request() removed.

* All barrier sequence requests were queued to request queue and then
  trckled to lower layer according to progress and thus maintaining
  request orders during requeue was necessary.  This is replaced by
  queueing the next request in the barrier sequence only after the
  current one is complete from blk_ordered_complete_seq(), which
  removes the need for multiple proxy requests in struct request_queue
  and the request sorting logic in the ELEVATOR_INSERT_REQUEUE path of
  elv_insert().

* As barriers no longer have ordering constraints, there's no need to
  dump the whole elevator onto the dispatch queue on each barrier.
  Insert barriers at the front instead.

* If other barrier requests come to the front of the dispatch queue
  while one is already in progress, they are stored in
  q->pending_barriers and restored to dispatch queue one-by-one after
  each barrier completion from blk_ordered_complete_seq().

Make the following cleanups in preparation of barrier/flush update.

* blk_do_ordered() declaration is moved from include/linux/blkdev.h to
  block/blk.h.

* blk_do_ordered() now returns pointer to struct request, with %NULL
  meaning "try the next request" and ERR_PTR(-EAGAIN) "try again
  later".  The third case will be dropped with further changes.

* In the initialization of proxy barrier request, data direction is
  already set by init_request_from_bio().  Drop unnecessary explicit
  REQ_WRITE setting and move init_request_from_bio() above REQ_FUA
  flag setting.

* add_request() is collapsed into __make_request().

These changes don't make any functional difference.

Barrier is deemed too heavy and will soon be replaced by FLUSH/FUA
requests.  Deprecate barrier.  All REQ_HARDBARRIERs are failed with
-EOPNOTSUPP and blk_queue_ordered() is replaced with simpler
blk_queue_flush().

blk_queue_flush() takes combinations of REQ_FLUSH and FUA.  If a
device has write cache and can flush it, it should set REQ_FLUSH.  If
the device can handle FUA writes, it should also set REQ_FUA.

All blk_queue_ordered() users are converted.

* ORDERED_DRAIN is mapped to 0 which is the default value.
* ORDERED_DRAIN_FLUSH is mapped to REQ_FLUSH.
* ORDERED_DRAIN_FLUSH_FUA is mapped to REQ_FLUSH | REQ_FUA.

Nobody is making meaningful use of ORDERED_BY_TAG now and queue
draining for barrier requests will be removed soon which will render
the advantage of tag ordering moot.  Kill ORDERED_BY_TAG.  The
following users are affected.

* brd: converted to ORDERED_DRAIN.
* virtio_blk: ORDERED_TAG path was already marked deprecated.  Removed.
* xen-blkfront: ORDERED_TAG case dropped.
