2014-05-29blk-mq: request initialization optimizationsJens Axboe
We currently clear a lot more than we need to, so make that a bit more clever. Make some of the init dependent on features, like only setting start_time if we are going to use it. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@fb.com>
2014-05-29block: add queue flag for disabling SG mergingJens Axboe
If devices are not SG starved, we waste a lot of time potentially collapsing SG segments. Enough that 1.5% of the CPU time goes to this, at only 400K IOPS. Add a queue flag, QUEUE_FLAG_NO_SG_MERGE, which just returns the number of vectors in a bio instead of looping over all segments and checking for collapsible ones. Add a BLK_MQ_F_SG_MERGE flag so that drivers can opt-in on the sg merging, if they so desire. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@fb.com>
2014-05-29block: remove 'magic' from struct blk_plugJens Axboe
I don't think we've ever caught any bugs with this, and there's the list poisoning for the plug lists to catch uninitialized cases. So remove the magic member and save 8 bytes in the struct. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@fb.com>

2014-05-28blk-mq: do not use blk_mq_alloc_request_pinned in blk_mq_map_requestChristoph Hellwig
We already do a non-blocking allocation in blk_mq_map_request, no need to repeat it. Just call __blk_mq_alloc_request to wait directly. Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@fb.com>
2014-05-28blk-mq: remove blk_mq_wait_for_tagsChristoph Hellwig
The current logic for blocking tag allocation is rather confusing, as we first allocated and then free again a tag in blk_mq_wait_for_tags, just to attempt a non-blocking allocation and then repeat if someone else managed to grab the tag before us. Instead change blk_mq_alloc_request_pinned to simply do a blocking tag allocation itself and use the request we get back from it.

2014-05-28blk-mq: add helper to insert requests from irq contextChristoph Hellwig
Both the cache flush state machine and the SCSI midlayer want to submit requests from irq context, and the current per-request requeue_work unfortunately causes corruption due to sharing with the csd field for flushes. Replace them with a per-request_queue list of requests to be requeued. Based on an earlier test by Ming Lei.

2014-05-27blk-mq: allow non-softirq completionsJens Axboe
Right now we export two ways of completing a request: 1) blk_mq_complete_request(). This uses an IPI (if needed) and completes through q->softirq_done_fn(). It also works with timeouts. 2) blk_mq_end_io(). This completes inline, and ignores any timeout state of the request. Let blk_mq_complete_request() handle non-softirq_done_fn completions as well, by just completing inline. If a driver has enough completion ports to place completions correctly, it need not define a mq_ops->complete() and we can avoid an indirect function call by doing the completion inline.

2014-05-27blk-mq: pass in suggested NUMA node to ->alloc_hctx()Jens Axboe
Drivers currently have to figure this out on their own, and they are missing information to do it properly. The ones that did attempt to do it, do it wrong. So just pass in the suggested node directly to the alloc function. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@fb.com>

2014-05-23blk-mq: allow setting of per-request timeoutsJens Axboe

2014-05-22blk-mq: split make request handler for multi and single queueJens Axboe
We want slightly different behavior from them: - On single queue devices, we currently use the per-process plug for deferred IO and for merging. - On multi queue devices, we don't use the per-process plug, but we want to go straight to hardware for SYNC IO. Split blk_mq_make_request() into a blk_sq_make_request() for single queue devices, and retain blk_mq_make_request() for multi queue devices. Then we don't need multiple checks for q->nr_hw_queues in the request mapping. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@fb.com>
2014-05-21blk-mq: save memory by freeing requests on unused hardware queuesJens Axboe
Depending on the topology of the machine and the number of queues exposed by a device, we can end up in a situation where some of the hardware queues are unused (as in, they don't map to any software queues). For this case, free up the memory used by the request map, as we will not use it. This can be a substantial amount of memory, depending on the number of queues vs CPUs and the queue depth of the device. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@fb.com>

2014-05-20blk-mq: allow changing of queue depth through sysfsJens Axboe
For request_fn based devices, the block layer exports a 'nr_requests' file through sysfs to allow adjusting of queue depth on the fly. Currently this returns -EINVAL for blk-mq, since it's not wired up. Wire this up for blk-mq, so that it now also always dynamic adjustments of the allowed queue depth for any given block device managed by blk-mq. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@fb.com>

2014-05-19blk-mq: switch ctx pending map to the sparser blk_align_bitmapJens Axboe
Each hardware queue has a bitmap of software queues with pending requests. When new IO is queued on a software queue, the bit is set, and when IO is pruned on a hardware queue run, the bit is cleared. This causes a lot of traffic. Switch this from the regular BITS_PER_LONG bitmap to a sparser layout, similarly to what was done for blk-mq tagging. 20% performance increase was observed for single threaded IO, and about 15% performanc increase on multiple threads driving the same device.

2014-05-16cgroup: remove css_parent()Tejun Heo
cgroup in general is moving towards using cgroup_subsys_state as the fundamental structural component and css_parent() was introduced to convert from using cgroup->parent to css->parent. It was quite some time ago and we're moving forward with making css more prominent. This patch drops the trivial wrapper css_parent() and let the users dereference css->parent. While at it, explicitly mark fields of css which are public and immutable. v2: New usage from device_cgroup.c converted.

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.

2014-05-13cgroup: replace cftype->write_string() with cftype->write()Tejun Heo
Convert all cftype->write_string() users to the new cftype->write() which maps directly to kernfs write operation and has full access to kernfs and cgroup contexts. The conversions are mostly mechanical. * @css and @cft are accessed using of_css() and of_cft() accessors respectively instead of being specified as arguments. * Should return @nbytes on success instead of 0. * @buf is not trimmed automatically. Trim if necessary. Note that blkcg and netprio don't need this as the parsers already handle whitespaces. cftype->write_string() has no user left after the conversions and removed. While at it, remove unnecessary local variable @p in cgroup_subtree_control_write() and stale comment about CGROUP_LOCAL_BUFFER_SIZE in cgroup_freezer.c. This patch doesn't introduce any visible behavior changes. v2: netprio was missing from conversion. Converted.

2014-05-13cgroup: rename css_tryget*() to css_tryget_online*()Tejun Heo
Unlike the more usual refcnting, what css_tryget() provides is the distinction between online and offline csses instead of protection against upping a refcnt which already reached zero. cgroup is planning to provide actual tryget which fails if the refcnt already reached zero. Let's rename the existing trygets so that they clearly indicate that they're onliness. I thought about keeping the existing names as-are and introducing new names for the planned actual tryget; however, given that each controller participates in the synchronization of the online state, it seems worthwhile to make it explicit that these functions are about on/offline state. Rename css_tryget() to css_tryget_online() and css_tryget_from_dir() to css_tryget_online_from_dir(). This is pure rename. v2: cgroup_freezer grew new usages of css_tryget(). Update accordingly.

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.
