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.

We have cases that aren't covered 100% in the drivers, so for now
we have to retain the shared tag restart loops.
Signed-off-by: NJens Axboe <axboe@kernel.dk>

The idea behind it is simple:

1) for none scheduler, driver tag has to be borrowed for flush rq,
   otherwise we may run out of tag, and that causes an IO hang. And
   get/put driver tag is actually noop for none, so reordering tags
   isn't necessary at all.

2) for a real I/O scheduler, we need not allocate a driver tag upfront
   for flush rq. It works just fine to follow the same approach as
   normal requests: allocate driver tag for each rq just before calling
   ->queue_rq().

One driver visible change is that the driver tag isn't shared in the
flush request sequence. That won't be a problem, since we always do that
in legacy path.

Then flush rq need not be treated specially wrt. get/put driver tag.
This cleans up the code - for instance, reorder_tags_to_front() can be
removed, and we needn't worry about request ordering in dispatch list
for avoiding I/O deadlock.

Also we have to put the driver tag before requeueing.

In case of IO scheduler we always pre-allocate one driver tag before
calling blk_insert_flush(), and flush request will be marked as
RQF_FLUSH_SEQ once it is in flush machinery.

So if RQF_FLUSH_SEQ isn't set, we call blk_insert_flush() to handle
the request, otherwise the flush request is dispatched to ->dispatch
list directly.

This is a preparation patch for not preallocating a driver tag for flush
requests, and for not treating flush requests as a special case. This is
similar to what the legacy path does.

Now restart is used in the following cases, and TAG_SHARED is for
SCSI only.

1) .get_budget() returns BLK_STS_RESOURCE
- if resource in target/host level isn't satisfied, this SCSI device
will be added in shost->starved_list, and the whole queue will be rerun
(via SCSI's built-in RESTART) in scsi_end_request() after any request
initiated from this host/targe is completed. Forget to mention, host level
resource can't be an issue for blk-mq at all.

- the same is true if resource in the queue level isn't satisfied.

- if there isn't outstanding request on this queue, then SCSI's RESTART
can't work(blk-mq's can't work too), and the queue will be run after
SCSI_QUEUE_DELAY, and finally all starved sdevs will be handled by SCSI's
RESTART when this request is finished

2) scsi_dispatch_cmd() returns BLK_STS_RESOURCE
- if there isn't onprogressing request on this queue, the queue
will be run after SCSI_QUEUE_DELAY

- otherwise, SCSI's RESTART covers the rerun.

3) blk_mq_get_driver_tag() failed
- BLK_MQ_S_TAG_WAITING covers the cross-queue RESTART for driver
allocation.

In one word, SCSI's built-in RESTART is enough to cover the queue
rerun, and we don't need to pay special attention to TAG_SHARED wrt. restart.

In my test on scsi_debug(8 luns), this patch improves IOPS by 20% ~ 30% when
running I/O on these 8 luns concurrently.

Aslo Roman Pen reported the current RESTART is very expensive especialy
when there are lots of LUNs attached in one host, such as in his
test, RESTART causes half of IOPS be cut.

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.

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.

If we have shared tags enabled, then every IO completion will trigger
a full loop of every queue belonging to a tag set, and every hardware
queue for each of those queues, even if nothing needs to be done.
This causes a massive performance regression if you have a lot of
shared devices.

Instead of doing this huge full scan on every IO, add an atomic
counter to the main queue that tracks how many hardware queues have
been marked as needing a restart. With that, we can avoid looking for
restartable queues, if we don't have to.

Max reports that this restores performance. Before this patch, 4K
IOPS was limited to 22-23K IOPS. With the patch, we are running at
950-970K IOPS.

But blk_mq_quiesce_queue() still may not block/drain dispatch in the

QUEUE_FLAG_QUIESCED and evaluate it inside RCU read-side critical

Also blk_mq_quiesce_queue() is implemented via stopping queue, which

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,

In blk_mq_sched_dispatch_requests(), we call blk_mq_sched_mark_restart()
after we dispatch requests left over on our hardware queue dispatch
list. This is so we'll go back and dispatch requests from the scheduler.
In this case, it's only necessary to restart the hardware queue that we
are running; there's no reason to run other hardware queues just because
we are using shared tags.

So, split out blk_mq_sched_mark_restart() into two operations, one for
just the hardware queue and one for the whole request queue. The core
code only needs the hctx variant, but I/O schedulers will want to use
both.

This also requires adjusting blk_mq_sched_restart_queues() to always
check the queue restart flag, not just when using shared tags.
