# 8ed40ee3 20-Oct-2022 Jinlong Chen <nickyc975@zju.edu.cn>

block: fix up elevator_type refcounting

The current reference management logic of io scheduler modules contains
refcnt problems. For example, blk_mq_init_sched may fail before or after
the calling of e->ops.init_sched. If it fails before the calling, it does
nothing to the reference to the io scheduler module. But if it fails after
the calling, it releases the reference by calling kobject_put(&eq->kobj).

As the callers of blk_mq_init_sched can't know exactly where the failure
happens, they can't handle the reference to the io scheduler module
properly: releasing the reference on failure results in double-release if
blk_mq_init_sched has released it, and not releasing the reference results
in ghost reference if blk_mq_init_sched did not release it either.

The same problem also exists in io schedulers' init_sched implementations.

We can address the problem by adding releasing statements to the error
handling procedures of blk_mq_init_sched and init_sched implementations.
But that is counterintuitive and requires modifications to existing io
schedulers.

Instead, We make elevator_alloc get the io scheduler module references
that will be released by elevator_release. And then, we match each
elevator_get with an elevator_put. Therefore, each reference to an io
scheduler module explicitly has its own getter and releaser, and we no
longer need to worry about the refcnt problems.

The bugs and the patch can be validated with tools here:

block: limit request dispatch loop duration

When IO requests are made continuously and the target block device
handles requests faster than request arrival, the request dispatch loop
keeps on repeating to dispatch the arriving requests very long time,
more than a minute. Since the loop runs as a workqueue worker task, the
very long loop duration triggers workqueue watchdog timeout and BUG [1].

To avoid the very long loop duration, break the loop periodically. When
opportunity to dispatch requests still exists, check need_resched(). If
need_resched() returns true, the dispatch loop already consumed its time
slice, then reschedule the dispatch work and break the loop. With heavy
IO load, need_resched() does not return true for 20~30 seconds. To cover
such case, check time spent in the dispatch loop with jiffies. If more
than 1 second is spent, reschedule the dispatch work and break the loop.

It is inevitable to cause use-after-free on q->queue_hw_ctx between

Prepare for converting q->queue_hctx_ctx into xarray, one thing is that
xa_for_each() can only accept 'unsigned long' as index, so changes type
of hctx index of queue_for_each_hw_ctx() into 'unsigned long'.

blk-mq: Use shared tags for shared sbitmap support

Currently we use separate sbitmap pairs and active_queues atomic_t for
shared sbitmap support.

However a full sets of static requests are used per HW queue, which is
quite wasteful, considering that the total number of requests usable at
any given time across all HW queues is limited by the shared sbitmap depth.

As such, it is considerably more memory efficient in the case of shared
sbitmap to allocate a set of static rqs per tag set or request queue, and
not per HW queue.

So replace the sbitmap pairs and active_queues atomic_t with a shared
tags per tagset and request queue, which will hold a set of shared static
rqs.

Since there is now no valid HW queue index to be passed to the blk_mq_ops
.init and .exit_request callbacks, pass an invalid index token. This
changes the semantics of the APIs, such that the callback would need to
validate the HW queue index before using it. Currently no user of shared
sbitmap actually uses the HW queue index (as would be expected).

block: Remove unnecessary elevator operation checks

The insert_requests and dispatch_request elevator operations are
mandatory for the correct execution of an elevator, and all implemented
elevators (bfq, kyber and mq-deadline) implement them. As a result,
there is no need to check for these operations before calling them when
a queue has an elevator set. This simplifies the code in
__blk_mq_sched_dispatch_requests() and blk_mq_sched_insert_request().

To avoid out-of-tree elevators to crash the kernel in case of bad
implementation, add a check in elv_register() to verify that these
operations are implemented.

A small, probably not significant, IOPS improvement of 0.1% is observed
with this patch applied (4.117 MIOPS to 4.123 MIOPS, average of 20 fio

block: Do not pull requests from the scheduler when we cannot dispatch them

Provided the device driver does not implement dispatch budget accounting
(which only SCSI does) the loop in __blk_mq_do_dispatch_sched() pulls
requests from the IO scheduler as long as it is willing to give out any.
That defeats scheduling heuristics inside the scheduler by creating
false impression that the device can take more IO when it in fact
cannot.

For example with BFQ IO scheduler on top of virtio-blk device setting
blkio cgroup weight has barely any impact on observed throughput of
async IO because __blk_mq_do_dispatch_sched() always sucks out all the
IO queued in BFQ. BFQ first submits IO from higher weight cgroups but
when that is all dispatched, it will give out IO of lower weight cgroups
as well. And then we have to wait for all this IO to be dispatched to
the disk (which means lot of it actually has to complete) before the
IO scheduler is queried again for dispatching more requests. This
completely destroys any service differentiation.

So grab request tag for a request pulled out of the IO scheduler already
in __blk_mq_do_dispatch_sched() and do not pull any more requests if we
cannot get it because we are unlikely to be able to dispatch it. That
way only single request is going to wait in the dispatch list for some
tag to free.

blk-mq: Use request queue-wide tags for tagset-wide sbitmap

The tags used for an IO scheduler are currently per hctx.

As such, when q->nr_hw_queues grows, so does the request queue total IO
scheduler tag depth.

This may cause problems for SCSI MQ HBAs whose total driver depth is
fixed.

Ming and Yanhui report higher CPU usage and lower throughput in scenarios
where the fixed total driver tag depth is appreciably lower than the total
scheduler tag depth:
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-block/440dfcfc-1a2c-bd98-1161-cec4d78c6dfc@huawei.com/T/#mc0d6d4f95275a2743d1c8c3e4dc9ff6c9aa3a76b

In that scenario, since the scheduler tag is got first, much contention
is introduced since a driver tag may not be available after we have got
the sched tag.

Improve this scenario by introducing request queue-wide tags for when
a tagset-wide sbitmap is used. The static sched requests are still
allocated per hctx, as requests are initialised per hctx, as in
blk_mq_init_request(..., hctx_idx, ...) ->
set->ops->init_request(.., hctx_idx, ...).

For simplicity of resizing the request queue sbitmap when updating the
request queue depth, just init at the max possible size, so we don't need
to deal with the possibly with swapping out a new sbitmap for old if
we need to grow.

kyber: fix out of bounds access when preempted

__blk_mq_sched_bio_merge() gets the ctx and hctx for the current CPU and
passes the hctx to ->bio_merge(). kyber_bio_merge() then gets the ctx
for the current CPU again and uses that to get the corresponding Kyber
context in the passed hctx. However, the thread may be preempted between
the two calls to blk_mq_get_ctx(), and the ctx returned the second time
may no longer correspond to the passed hctx. This "works" accidentally
most of the time, but it can cause us to read garbage if the second ctx
came from an hctx with more ctx's than the first one (i.e., if
ctx->index_hw[hctx->type] > hctx->nr_ctx).

SCSI uses a global atomic variable to track queue depth for each
LUN/request queue.

This doesn't scale well when there are lots of CPU cores and the disk is
very fast. It has been observed that IOPS is affected a lot by tracking
queue depth via sdev->device_busy in the I/O path.

Return budget token from .get_budget callback. The budget token can be
passed to driver so that we can replace the atomic variable with
sbitmap_queue and alleviate the scaling problems that way.

blk-mq: Facilitate a shared sbitmap per tagset

Some SCSI HBAs (such as HPSA, megaraid, mpt3sas, hisi_sas_v3 ..) support
multiple reply queues with single hostwide tags.

In addition, these drivers want to use interrupt assignment in
pci_alloc_irq_vectors(PCI_IRQ_AFFINITY). However, as discussed in [0],
CPU hotplug may cause in-flight IO completion to not be serviced when an
interrupt is shutdown. That problem is solved in commit bf0beec0607d
("blk-mq: drain I/O when all CPUs in a hctx are offline").

However, to take advantage of that blk-mq feature, the HBA HW queuess are
required to be mapped to that of the blk-mq hctx's; to do that, the HBA HW
queues need to be exposed to the upper layer.

In making that transition, the per-SCSI command request tags are no
longer unique per Scsi host - they are just unique per hctx. As such, the
HBA LLDD would have to generate this tag internally, which has a certain
performance overhead.

However another problem is that blk-mq assumes the host may accept
(Scsi_host.can_queue * #hw queue) commands. In commit 6eb045e092ef ("scsi:
core: avoid host-wide host_busy counter for scsi_mq"), the Scsi host busy
counter was removed, which would stop the LLDD being sent more than
.can_queue commands; however, it should still be ensured that the block
layer does not issue more than .can_queue commands to the Scsi host.

To solve this problem, introduce a shared sbitmap per blk_mq_tag_set,
which may be requested at init time.

New flag BLK_MQ_F_TAG_HCTX_SHARED should be set when requesting the
tagset to indicate whether the shared sbitmap should be used.

Even when BLK_MQ_F_TAG_HCTX_SHARED is set, a full set of tags and requests
are still allocated per hctx; the reason for this is that if tags and
requests were only allocated for a single hctx - like hctx0 - it may break
block drivers which expect a request be associated with a specific hctx,
i.e. not always hctx0. This will introduce extra memory usage.

This change is based on work originally from Ming Lei in [1] and from
Bart's suggestion in [2].

blk-mq: order adding requests to hctx->dispatch and checking SCHED_RESTART

SCHED_RESTART code path is relied to re-run queue for dispatch requests
in hctx->dispatch. Meantime the SCHED_RSTART flag is checked when adding
requests to hctx->dispatch.

memory barriers have to be used for ordering the following two pair of OPs:

1) adding requests to hctx->dispatch and checking SCHED_RESTART in
blk_mq_dispatch_rq_list()

2) clearing SCHED_RESTART and checking if there is request in hctx->dispatch
in blk_mq_sched_restart().

Without the added memory barrier, either:

1) blk_mq_sched_restart() may miss requests added to hctx->dispatch meantime
blk_mq_dispatch_rq_list() observes SCHED_RESTART, and not run queue in
dispatch side

or

2) blk_mq_dispatch_rq_list still sees SCHED_RESTART, and not run queue
in dispatch side, meantime checking if there is request in
hctx->dispatch from blk_mq_sched_restart() is missed.

IO hang in ltp/fs_fill test is reported by kernel test robot:

https://lkml.org/lkml/2020/7/26/77

Turns out it is caused by the above out-of-order OPs. And the IO hang
can't be observed any more after applying this patch.

blk-mq: support batching dispatch in case of io

More and more drivers want to get batching requests queued from
block layer, such as mmc, and tcp based storage drivers. Also
current in-tree users have virtio-scsi, virtio-blk and nvme.

For none, we already support batching dispatch.

But for io scheduler, every time we just take one request from scheduler
and pass the single request to blk_mq_dispatch_rq_list(). This way makes
batching dispatch not possible when io scheduler is applied. One reason
is that we don't want to hurt sequential IO performance, becasue IO
merge chance is reduced if more requests are dequeued from scheduler
queue.

Try to support batching dispatch for io scheduler by starting with the
following simple approach:

1) still make sure we can get budget before dequeueing request

2) use hctx->dispatch_busy to evaluate if queue is busy, if it is busy
we fackback to non-batching dispatch, otherwise dequeue as many as
possible requests from scheduler, and pass them to blk_mq_dispatch_rq_list().

Wrt. 2), we use similar policy for none, and turns out that SCSI SSD
performance got improved much.

In future, maybe we can develop more intelligent algorithem for batching
dispatch.

Baolin has tested this patch and found that MMC performance is improved[3].

blk-mq: pass request queue into get/put budget callback

blk-mq budget is abstract from scsi's device queue depth, and it is
always per-request-queue instead of hctx.

It can be quite absurd to get a budget from one hctx, then dequeue a
request from scheduler queue, and this request may not belong to this
hctx, at least for bfq and deadline.

So fix the mess and always pass request queue to get/put budget

block: Limit number of items taken from the I/O scheduler in one go

Flushes bypass the I/O scheduler and get added to hctx->dispatch
in blk_mq_sched_bypass_insert. This can happen while a kworker is running
hctx->run_work work item and is past the point in
blk_mq_sched_dispatch_requests where hctx->dispatch is checked.

The blk_mq_do_dispatch_sched call is not guaranteed to end in bounded time,
because the I/O scheduler can feed an arbitrary number of commands.

Since we have only one hctx->run_work, the commands waiting in
hctx->dispatch will wait an arbitrary length of time for run_work to be
rerun.

A similar phenomenon exists with dispatches from the software queue.

The solution is to poll hctx->dispatch in blk_mq_do_dispatch_sched and
blk_mq_do_dispatch_ctx and return from the run_work handler and let it

blk-mq: Rerun dispatching in the case of budget contention

If ever a thread running blk-mq code tries to get budget and fails it
immediately stops doing work and assumes that whenever budget is freed
up that queues will be kicked and whatever work the thread was trying
to do will be tried again.

One path where budget is freed and queues are kicked in the normal
case can be seen in scsi_finish_command(). Specifically:
- scsi_finish_command()
- scsi_device_unbusy()
- # Decrement "device_busy", AKA release budget
- scsi_io_completion()
- scsi_end_request()
- blk_mq_run_hw_queues()

The above is all well and good. The problem comes up when a thread
claims the budget but then releases it without actually dispatching
any work. Since we didn't schedule any work we'll never run the path
of finishing work / kicking the queues.

This isn't often actually a problem which is why this issue has
existed for a while and nobody noticed. Specifically we only get into
this situation when we unexpectedly found that we weren't going to do
any work. Code that later receives new work kicks the queues. All
good, right?

The problem shows up, however, if timing is just wrong and we hit a
race. To see this race let's think about the case where we only have
a budget of 1 (only one thread can hold budget). Now imagine that a
thread got budget and then decided not to dispatch work. It's about
to call put_budget() but then the thread gets context switched out for
a long, long time. While in this state, any and all kicks of the
queue (like the when we received new work) will be no-ops because
nobody can get budget. Finally the thread holding budget gets to run
again and returns. All the normal kicks will have been no-ops and we
have an I/O stall.

As you can see from the above, you need just the right timing to see
the race. To start with, the only case it happens if we thought we
had work, actually managed to get the budget, but then actually didn't
have work. That's pretty rare to start with. Even then, there's
usually a very small amount of time between realizing that there's no
work and putting the budget. During this small amount of time new
work has to come in and the queue kick has to make it all the way to
trying to get the budget and fail. It's pretty unlikely.

One case where this could have failed is illustrated by an example of
threads running blk_mq_do_dispatch_sched():

* Threads A and B both run has_work() at the same time with the same
"hctx". Imagine has_work() is exact. There's no lock, so it's OK
if Thread A and B both get back true.
* Thread B gets interrupted for a long time right after it decides
that there is work. Maybe its CPU gets an interrupt and the
interrupt handler is slow.
* Thread A runs, get budget, dispatches work.
* Thread A's work finishes and budget is released.
* Thread B finally runs again and gets budget.
* Since Thread A already took care of the work and no new work has
come in, Thread B will get NULL from dispatch_request(). I believe
this is specifically why dispatch_request() is allowed to return
NULL in the first place if has_work() must be exact.
* Thread B will now be holding the budget and is about to call
put_budget(), but hasn't called it yet.
* Thread B gets interrupted for a long time (again). Dang interrupts.
* Now Thread C (maybe with a different "hctx" but the same queue)
comes along and runs blk_mq_do_dispatch_sched().
* Thread C won't do anything because it can't get budget.
* Finally Thread B will run again and put the budget without kicking
any queues.

Even though the example above is with blk_mq_do_dispatch_sched() I
believe the race is possible any time someone is holding budget but
doesn't do work.

Unfortunately, the unlikely has become more likely if you happen to be
using the BFQ I/O scheduler. BFQ, by design, sometimes returns "true"
for has_work() but then NULL for dispatch_request() and stays in this
state for a while (currently up to 9 ms). Suddenly you only need one
race to hit, not two races in a row. With my current setup this is
easy to reproduce in reboot tests and traces have actually shown that
we hit a race similar to the one described above.

Note that we only need to fix blk_mq_do_dispatch_sched() and
blk_mq_do_dispatch_ctx() and not the other places that put budget. In
other cases we know that we have work to do on at least one "hctx" and
code already exists to kick that "hctx"'s queue. When that work
finally finishes all the queues will be kicked using the normal flow.

One last note is that (at least in the SCSI case) budget is shared by
all "hctx"s that have the same queue. Thus we need to make sure to
kick the whole queue, not just re-run dispatching on a single "hctx".

blk-mq: insert flush request to the front of dispatch queue

commit 01e99aeca397 ("blk-mq: insert passthrough request into
hctx->dispatch directly") may change to add flush request to the tail
of dispatch by applying the 'add_head' parameter of
blk_mq_sched_insert_request.

Turns out this way causes performance regression on NCQ controller because
flush is non-NCQ command, which can't be queued when there is any in-flight
NCQ command. When adding flush rq to the front of hctx->dispatch, it is
easier to introduce extra time to flush rq's latency compared with adding
to the tail of dispatch queue because of S_SCHED_RESTART, then chance of
flush merge is increased, and less flush requests may be issued to
controller.

So always insert flush request to the front of dispatch queue just like
before applying commit 01e99aeca397 ("blk-mq: insert passthrough request
into hctx->dispatch directly").

blk-mq: insert passthrough request into hctx->dispatch directly

For some reason, device may be in one situation which can't handle
FS request, so STS_RESOURCE is always returned and the FS request
will be added to hctx->dispatch. However passthrough request may
be required at that time for fixing the problem. If passthrough
request is added to scheduler queue, there isn't any chance for
blk-mq to dispatch it given we prioritize requests in hctx->dispatch.
Then the FS IO request may never be completed, and IO hang is caused.

So passthrough request has to be added to hctx->dispatch directly
for fixing the IO hang.

Fix this issue by inserting passthrough request into hctx->dispatch
directly together withing adding FS request to the tail of
hctx->dispatch in blk_mq_dispatch_rq_list(). Actually we add FS request
to tail of hctx->dispatch at default, see blk_mq_request_bypass_insert().

Then it becomes consistent with original legacy IO request
path, in which passthrough request is always added to q->queue_head.

block: free sched's request pool in blk_cleanup_queue

In theory, IO scheduler belongs to request queue, and the request pool
of sched tags belongs to the request queue too.

However, the current tags allocation interfaces are re-used for both
driver tags and sched tags, and driver tags is definitely host wide,
and doesn't belong to any request queue, same with its request pool.
So we need tagset instance for freeing request of sched tags.

Meantime, blk_mq_free_tag_set() often follows blk_cleanup_queue() in case
of non-BLK_MQ_F_TAG_SHARED, this way requires that request pool of sched
tags to be freed before calling blk_mq_free_tag_set().

Commit 47cdee29ef9d94e ("block: move blk_exit_queue into __blk_release_queue")
moves blk_exit_queue into __blk_release_queue for simplying the fast
path in generic_make_request(), then causes oops during freeing requests
of sched tags in __blk_release_queue().

Fix the above issue by move freeing request pool of sched tags into
blk_cleanup_queue(), this way is safe becasue queue has been frozen and no any
in-queue requests at that time. Freeing sched tags has to be kept in queue's
release handler becasue there might be un-completed dispatch activity
which might refer to sched tags.

blk-mq: grab .q_usage_counter when queuing request from plug code path

Just like aio/io_uring, we need to grab 2 refcount for queuing one
request, one is for submission, another is for completion.

If the request isn't queued from plug code path, the refcount grabbed
in generic_make_request() serves for submission. In theroy, this
refcount should have been released after the sumission(async run queue)
is done. blk_freeze_queue() works with blk_sync_queue() together
for avoiding race between cleanup queue and IO submission, given async
run queue activities are canceled because hctx->run_work is scheduled with
the refcount held, so it is fine to not hold the refcount when
running the run queue work function for dispatch IO.

However, if request is staggered into plug list, and finally queued
from plug code path, the refcount in submission side is actually missed.
And we may start to run queue after queue is removed because the queue's
kobject refcount isn't guaranteed to be grabbed in flushing plug list
context, then kernel oops is triggered, see the following race:

blk_mq_flush_plug_list():
blk_mq_sched_insert_requests()
insert requests to sw queue or scheduler queue
blk_mq_run_hw_queue

Because of concurrent run queue, all requests inserted above may be
completed before calling the above blk_mq_run_hw_queue. Then queue can
be freed during the above blk_mq_run_hw_queue().

Fixes the issue by grab .q_usage_counter before calling
blk_mq_sched_insert_requests() in blk_mq_flush_plug_list(). This way is
safe because the queue is absolutely alive before inserting request.

blk-mq: save queue mapping result into ctx directly

Currently, the queue mapping result is saved in a two-dimensional
array. In the hot path, to get a hctx, we need do following:

q->queue_hw_ctx[q->tag_set->map[type].mq_map[cpu]]

This isn't very efficient. We could save the queue mapping result into
ctx directly with different hctx type, like,

ctx->hctxs[type]

blk-mq: fix dispatch from sw queue

When a request is added to rq list of sw queue(ctx), the rq may be from
a different type of hctx, especially after multi queue mapping is
introduced.

So when dispach request from sw queue via blk_mq_flush_busy_ctxs() or
blk_mq_dequeue_from_ctx(), one request belonging to other queue type of
hctx can be dispatched to current hctx in case that read queue or poll
queue is enabled.

This patch fixes this issue by introducing per-queue-type list.

block: mq-deadline: Fix write completion handling

For a zoned block device using mq-deadline, if a write request for a
zone is received while another write was already dispatched for the same
zone, dd_dispatch_request() will return NULL and the newly inserted
write request is kept in the scheduler queue waiting for the ongoing
zone write to complete. With this behavior, when no other request has
been dispatched, rq_list in blk_mq_sched_dispatch_requests() is empty
and blk_mq_sched_mark_restart_hctx() not called. This in turn leads to
__blk_mq_free_request() call of blk_mq_sched_restart() to not run the
queue when the already dispatched write request completes. The newly
dispatched request stays stuck in the scheduler queue until eventually
another request is submitted.

This problem does not affect SCSI disk as the SCSI stack handles queue
restart on request completion. However, this problem is can be triggered
the nullblk driver with zoned mode enabled.

Fix this by always requesting a queue restart in dd_dispatch_request()
if no request was dispatched while WRITE requests are queued.

2) SCSI is a bit special because it may return BLK_STS_RESOURCE if queue,
target or host is ready, but SCSI built-in restart can cover all these well,
see scsi_end_request(), queue will be rerun after any request initiated from
this host/target is completed.

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

blk-mq: don't allocate driver tag upfront for flush rq

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

blk-mq: don't handle TAG_SHARED in restart

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

blk-mq-sched: improve dispatching from sw queue

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.

blk-mq: introduce .get_budget and .put_budget in blk_mq_ops

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.

blk-mq-sched: dispatch from scheduler IFF progress is made in ->dispatch

When the hw queue is busy, we shouldn't take requests from the scheduler
queue any more, otherwise it is difficult to do IO merge.

This patch fixes the awful IO performance on some SCSI devices(lpfc,
qla2xxx, ...) when mq-deadline/kyber is used by not taking requests if
hw queue is busy.

blk-mq-sched: fix performance regression of mq-deadline

When mq-deadline is taken, IOPS of sequential read and
seqential write is observed more than 20% drop on sata(scsi-mq)
devices, compared with using 'none' scheduler.

The reason is that the default nr_requests for scheduler is
too big for small queuedepth devices, and latency is increased
much.

Since the principle of taking 256 requests for mq scheduler
is based on 128 queue depth, this patch changes into
double size of min(hw queue_depth, 128).

blk-mq: fix performance regression with shared tags

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.

blk-mq: use QUEUE_FLAG_QUIESCED to quiesce queue

It is required that no dispatch can happen any more once
blk_mq_quiesce_queue() returns, and we don't have such requirement
on APIs of stopping queue.

But blk_mq_quiesce_queue() still may not block/drain dispatch in the
the case of BLK_MQ_S_START_ON_RUN, so use the new introduced flag of
QUEUE_FLAG_QUIESCED and evaluate it inside RCU read-side critical
sections for fixing this issue.

Also blk_mq_quiesce_queue() is implemented via stopping queue, which
limits its uses, and easy to cause race, because any queue restart in
other paths may break blk_mq_quiesce_queue(). With the introduced
flag of QUEUE_FLAG_QUIESCED, we don't need to depend on stopping queue
for quiescing any more.

blk-mq: use the right hctx when getting a driver tag fails

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,
with the blk_mq_update_nr_hw_queues() fix, it showed up with nbd.

blk-mq-sched: separate mark hctx and queue restart operations

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.

block: free merged request in the caller

holding the lock is problematic, since we are now calling the
mq sched put_rq_private() hook with the lock held. Other call paths
do not hold this lock.

Fix this inconsistency by ensuring that the caller frees a merged
