Currently, struct request has four timestamp fields:

- A start time, set at get_request time, in jiffies, used for iostats
- An I/O start time, set at start_request time, in ktime nanoseconds,
  used for blk-stats (i.e., wbt, kyber, hybrid polling)
- Another start time and another I/O start time, used for cfq and bfq

These can all be consolidated into one start time and one I/O start
time, both in ktime nanoseconds, shaving off up to 16 bytes from struct
request depending on the kernel config.

rq->gstate and rq->aborted_gstate both are zero before rqs are

there could be rqs that are never allocated, and also there could
be rq that has been allocated but not initialized and started. At
the moment, the rq->gstate and rq->aborted_gstate both are 0, thus
the blk_mq_terminate_expired will identify the rq is timed out and

Firstly, from commit 4b855ad3 ("blk-mq: Create hctx for each present CPU),
blk-mq doesn't remap queue any more after CPU topo is changed.

Secondly, set->nr_hw_queues can't be bigger than nr_cpu_ids, and now we map
all possible CPUs to hw queues, so at least one CPU is mapped to each hctx.

So queue mapping has became static and fixed just like percpu variable, and

2) in another IO path for dispatching request B which is from hctx->dispatch,
driver tag is got, then try to get budget in blk_mq_dispatch_rq_list(),
unfortunately the budget is held by request A.

3) meantime blk_mq_dispatch_rq_list() is called for dispatching request

4) both two IO pathes can't move on, and IO stall is caused.

This status is returned from driver to block layer if device related
resource is unavailable, but driver can guarantee that IO dispatch
will be triggered in future when the resource is available.

Convert some drivers to return BLK_STS_DEV_RESOURCE.  Also, if driver
returns BLK_STS_RESOURCE and SCHED_RESTART is set, rerun queue after
a delay (BLK_MQ_DELAY_QUEUE) to avoid IO stalls.  BLK_MQ_DELAY_QUEUE is
3 ms because both scsi-mq and nvmefc are using that magic value.

If a driver can make sure there is in-flight IO, it is safe to return
BLK_STS_DEV_RESOURCE because:

1) If all in-flight IOs complete before examining SCHED_RESTART in
blk_mq_dispatch_rq_list(), SCHED_RESTART must be cleared, so queue
is run immediately in this case by blk_mq_dispatch_rq_list();

2) if there is any in-flight IO after/when examining SCHED_RESTART
in blk_mq_dispatch_rq_list():
- if SCHED_RESTART isn't set, queue is run immediately as handled in 1)
- otherwise, this request will be dispatched after any in-flight IO is
  completed via blk_mq_sched_restart()

3) if SCHED_RESTART is set concurently in context because of
BLK_STS_RESOURCE, blk_mq_delay_run_hw_queue() will cover the above two
cases and make sure IO hang can be avoided.

One invariant is that queue will be rerun if SCHED_RESTART is set.

Signed-off-by: NJens Axboe <axboe@kernel.dk>

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).

When hctx->next_cpu is set from possible online CPUs, there is one
race in which hctx->next_cpu may be set as >= nr_cpu_ids, and finally
break workqueue.

The race can be triggered in the following two sitations:

1) when one CPU is becoming DEAD, blk_mq_hctx_notify_dead() is called
to dispatch requests from the DEAD cpu context, but at that
time, this DEAD CPU has been cleared from 'cpu_online_mask', so all
CPUs in hctx->cpumask may become offline, and cause hctx->next_cpu set
a bad value.

2) blk_mq_delay_run_hw_queue() is called from CPU B, and found the queue
should be run on the other CPU A, then CPU A may become offline at the
same time and all CPUs in hctx->cpumask become offline.

This patch deals with this issue by re-selecting next CPU, and making
sure it is set correctly.
