2014-05-30blk-mq: make the sysfs mq/ layout reflect current mappingsJens Axboe
Currently blk-mq registers all the hardware queues in sysfs, regardless of whether it uses them (e.g. they have CPU mappings) or not. The unused hardware queues lack the cpux/ directories, and the other sysfs entries (like active, pending, etc) are all zeroes. Change this so that sysfs correctly reflects the current mappings of the hardware queues. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@fb.com>
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.

2014-04-25blk-mq: respect rq_affinityChristoph Hellwig
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.

2014-04-09blk-mq: simplify blk_mq_hw_sysfs_cpus_show()Jens Axboe
Now that we have a cpu mask of CPUs that are mapped to a specific hardware queue, we can just iterate that to display the sysfs num-hw-queue/cpu_list file. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@fb.com>
2014-03-20blk-mq: don't dump CPU -> hw queue map on driver loadJens Axboe
Now that we are out of initial debug/bringup mode, remove the verbose dump of the mapping table. Provide the mapping table in sysfs, under the hardware queue directory, in the cpu_list file. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@fb.com>
2013-12-06block: fix memory leaks on unplugging block deviceAndrey Vagin
All objects, which are allocated in blk_mq_register_disk, must be released in blk_mq_unregister_disk.

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).
