      blk-mq: use sparser tag layout for lower queue depth · 59d13bf5
      Jens Axboe 提交于
      For best performance, spreading tags over multiple cachelines
      makes the tagging more efficient on multicore systems. But since
      we have 8 * sizeof(unsigned long) tags per cacheline, we don't
      always get a nice spread.
      
      Attempt to spread the tags over at least 4 cachelines, using fewer
      number of bits per unsigned long if we have to. This improves
      tagging performance in setups with 32-128 tags. For higher depths,
      the spread is the same as before (BITS_PER_LONG tags per cacheline).

      blk-mq: implement new and more efficient tagging scheme · 4bb659b1
      Jens Axboe 提交于
      blk-mq currently uses percpu_ida for tag allocation. But that only
      works well if the ratio between tag space and number of CPUs is
      sufficiently high. For most devices and systems, that is not the
      case. The end result if that we either only utilize the tag space
      partially, or we end up attempting to fully exhaust it and run
      into lots of lock contention with stealing between CPUs. This is
      not optimal.
      
      This new tagging scheme is a hybrid bitmap allocator. It uses
      two tricks to both be SMP friendly and allow full exhaustion
      of the space:
      
      1) We cache the last allocated (or freed) tag on a per blk-mq
         software context basis. This allows us to limit the space
         we have to search. The key element here is not caching it
         in the shared tag structure, otherwise we end up dirtying
         more shared cache lines on each allocate/free operation.
      
      2) The tag space is split into cache line sized groups, and
         each context will start off randomly in that space. Even up
         to full utilization of the space, this divides the tag users
         efficiently into cache line groups, avoiding dirtying the same
         one both between allocators and between allocator and freeer.
      
      This scheme shows drastically better behaviour, both on small
      tag spaces but on large ones as well. It has been tested extensively
      to show better performance for all the cases blk-mq cares about.

      This allows us to avoid a non-atomic memset over ->atomic_flags as well

      blk-mq: fix waiting for reserved tags · 5810d903
      Jens Axboe 提交于
      blk_mq_wait_for_tags() is only able to wait for "normal" tags,
      not reserved tags. Pass in which one we should attempt to get
      a tag for, so that waiting for reserved tags will work.
      
      Reserved tags are used for internal commands, which are usually
      serialized. Hence no waiting generally takes place, but we should
      ensure that it actually works if users need that functionality.

      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.
