2015-06-01blk-mq: Shared tag enhancementsKeith Busch
Storage controllers may expose multiple block devices that share hardware resources managed by blk-mq. This patch enhances the shared tags so a low-level driver can access the shared resources not tied to the unshared h/w contexts. This way the LLD can dynamically add and delete disks and request queues without having to track all the request_queue hctx's to iterate outstanding tags.

2015-03-18blkmq: Fix NULL pointer deref when all reserved tags inSam Bradshaw
When allocating from the reserved tags pool, bt_get() is called with a NULL hctx. If all tags are in use, the hw queue is kicked to push out any pending IO, potentially freeing tags, and tag allocation is retried. The problem is that blk_mq_run_hw_queue() doesn't check for a NULL hctx. So we avoid it with a simple NULL hctx test. Tested by hammering mtip32xx with concurrent smartctl/hdparm.

If the allocation of bt->bs fails, then bt->map can be freed twice, once in blk_mq_init_bitmap_tags() -> bt_alloc(), and once in blk_mq_init_bitmap_tags() -> bt_free().

2015-01-23blk-mq: add tag allocation policyShaohua Li
This is the blk-mq part to support tag allocation policy. The default allocation policy isn't changed (though it's not a strict FIFO). The new policy is round-robin for libata. But it's a try-best implementation. If multiple tasks are competing, the tags returned will be mixed (which is unavoidable even with !mq, as requests from different tasks can be mixed in queue) Cc: Jens Axboe <axboe@fb.com> Cc: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Cc: Christoph Hellwig <hch@infradead.org> Signed-off-by: Shaohua Li <shli@fb.com> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@fb.com>
2015-01-14blk-mq: fix false negative out-of-tags conditionJens Axboe
The blk-mq tagging tries to maintain some locality between CPUs and the tags issued. The tags are split into groups of words, and the words may not be fully populated. When searching for a new free tag, blk-mq may look at partial words, hence it passes in an offset/size to find_next_zero_bit(). However, it does that wrong, the size must always be the full length of the number of tags in that word, otherwise we'll potentially miss some near the end. Another issue is when __bt_get() goes from one word set to the next. It bumps the index, but not the last_tag associated with the previous index. Bump that to be in the range of the new word. Finally, clean up __bt_get() and __bt_get_word() a bit and get rid of the goto in there, and the unnecessary 'wrap' variable. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@fb.com>
2014-12-31block: wake up waiters when a queue is marked dyingJens Axboe
If it's dying, we can't expect new request to complete and come in an wake up other tasks waiting for requests. So after we have marked it as dying, wake up everybody currently waiting for a request. Once they wake, they will retry their allocation and fail appropriately due to the state of the queue. Tested-by: Keith Busch <keith.busch@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@fb.com>

This reverts commit 52f7eb945f2ba62b324bb9ae16d945326a961dcf. The optimization is only really safe for a single queue, otherwise 'bs' and 'bt' can indeed change, and if we don't do a finish_wait() for each loop, we'll potentially change the wait structure and corrupt task wait list.

2014-12-09blk-mq: Fix a race between bt_clear_tag() and bt_get()Bart Van Assche
What we need is the following two guarantees: * Any thread that observes the effect of the test_and_set_bit() by __bt_get_word() also observes the preceding addition of 'current' to the appropriate wait list. This is guaranteed by the semantics of the spin_unlock() operation performed by prepare_and_wait(). Hence the conversion of test_and_set_bit_lock() into test_and_set_bit(). * The wait lists are examined by bt_clear() after the tag bit has been cleared. clear_bit_unlock() guarantees that any thread that observes that the bit has been cleared also observes the store operations preceding clear_bit_unlock(). However, clear_bit_unlock() does not prevent that the wait lists are examined before that the tag bit is cleared. Hence the addition of a memory barrier between clear_bit() and the wait list examination.

2014-06-17blk-mq: bitmap tag: fix race on blk_mq_bitmap_tags::wake_cntAlexander Gordeev
This piece of code in bt_clear_tag() function is racy: bs = bt_wake_ptr(bt); if (bs && atomic_dec_and_test(&bs->wait_cnt)) { atomic_set(&bs->wait_cnt, bt->wake_cnt); wake_up(&bs->wait); } Since nothing prevents bt_wake_ptr() from returning the very same 'bs' address on multiple CPUs, the following scenario is possible: CPU1 CPU2 ---- ---- 0. bs = bt_wake_ptr(bt); bs = bt_wake_ptr(bt); 1. atomic_dec_and_test(&bs->wait_cnt) 2. atomic_dec_and_test(&bs->wait_cnt) 3. atomic_set(&bs->wait_cnt, bt->wake_cnt); If the decrement in [1] yields zero then for some amount of time the decrement in [2] results in a negative/overflow value, which is not expected. The follow-up assignment in [3] overwrites the invalid value with the batch value (and likely prevents the issue from being severe) which is still incorrect and should be a lesser.

2014-05-13blk-mq: improve support for shared tags mapsJens Axboe
This adds support for active queue tracking, meaning that the blk-mq tagging maintains a count of active users of a tag set. This allows us to maintain a notion of fairness between users, so that we can distribute the tag depth evenly without starving some users while allowing others to try unfair deep queues. If sharing of a tag set is detected, each hardware queue will track the depth of its own queue. And if this exceeds the total depth divided by the number of active queues, the user is actively throttled down. The active queue count is done lazily to avoid bouncing that data between submitter and completer. Each hardware queue gets marked active when it allocates its first tag, and gets marked inactive when 1) the last tag is cleared, and 2) the queue timeout grace period has passed.

2014-05-09blk-mq: use sparser tag layout for lower queue depthJens Axboe
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). Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@fb.com>
2014-05-09blk-mq: implement new and more efficient tagging schemeJens Axboe
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.

2013-10-25blk-mq: new multi-queue block IO queueing mechanismJens Axboe
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).
