Since commit 430a67f9d616 ("block, bfq: merge bursts of newly-created
queues"), BFQ may schedule a merge between a newly created sync
bfq_queue, say Q2, and the last sync bfq_queue created, say Q1. To this
goal, BFQ stores the address of Q1 in the field bic->stable_merge_bfqq
of the bic associated with Q2. So, when the time for the possible merge
arrives, BFQ knows which bfq_queue to merge Q2 with. In particular,
BFQ checks for possible merges on request arrivals.
Yet the same bic may also be associated with an async bfq_queue, say
Q3. So, if a request for Q3 arrives, then the above check may happen
to be executed while the bfq_queue at hand is Q3, instead of Q2. In
this case, Q1 happens to be merged with an async bfq_queue. This is
not only a conceptual mistake, because async queues are to be kept out
of queue merging, but also a bug that leads to inconsistent states.
This commits simply filters async queues out of delayed merges.

One of the methods with which bfq boosts throughput is by merging queues.
One of the merging variants in bfq is the stable merge.
This mechanism is activated between two queues only if they are created
within a certain maximum time T1 from each other.
Merging can happen soon or be delayed. In the second case, before
merging, bfq needs to evaluate a throughput-boost parameter that
indicates whether the queue generates a high throughput is served alone.
Merging occurs when this throughput-boost is not high enough.
In particular, this parameter is evaluated and late merging may occur
only after at least a time T2 from the creation of the queue.
Currently T1 and T2 are set to 180ms and 200ms, respectively.
In this way the merging mechanism rarely occurs because time is not
enough. This results in a noticeable lowering of the overall throughput
with some workloads (see the example below).
This commit introduces two constants bfq_activation_stable_merging and
bfq_late_stable_merging in order to increase the duration of T1 and T2.
Both the stable merging activation time and the late merging
time are set to 600ms. This value has been experimentally evaluated
using sqlite benchmark in the Phoronix Test Suite on a HDD.
The duration of the benchmark before this fix was 111.02s, while now
it has reached 97.02s, a better result than that of all the other
schedulers.

Since commit 430a67f9d616 ("block, bfq: merge bursts of newly-created
queues"), BFQ may schedule a merge between a newly created sync
bfq_queue and the last sync bfq_queue created. Such a merging is not
performed immediately, because BFQ needs first to find out whether the
newly created queue actually reaches a higher throughput if not merged
at all (and in that case BFQ will not perform any stable merging). To
check that, a little time must be waited after the creation of the new
queue, so that some I/O can flow in the queue, and statistics on such
I/O can be computed.
Yet, to evaluate the above waiting time, the last split time is
considered as start time, instead of the creation time of the
queue. This is a mistake, because considering the split time is
correct only in the following scenario.
The queue undergoes a non-stable merges on the arrival of its very
first I/O request, due to close I/O with some other queue. While the
queue is merged for close I/O, stable merging is not considered. Yet
the queue may then happen to be split, if the close I/O finishes (or
happens to be a false positive). From this time on, the queue can
again be considered for stable merging. But, again, a little time must
elapse, to let some new I/O flow in the queue and to get updated
statistics. To wait for this time, the split time is to be taken into
account.
Yet, if the queue does not undergo a non-stable merge on the arrival
of its very first request, then BFQ immediately checks whether the
stable merge is to be performed. It happens because the split time for
a queue is initialized to minus infinity when the queue is created.
This commit fixes this mistake by adding the missing condition. Now
the check for delayed stable-merge is performed after a little time is
elapsed not only from the last queue split time, but also from the
creation time of the queue.

When attempting to schedule a merge of a given bfq_queue with the currently
in-service bfq_queue or with a cooperating bfq_queue among the scheduled
bfq_queues, delayed stable merge is checked for rotational or non-queueing
devs. For this stable merge to be performed, some conditions must be met.
If the current bfq_queue underwent some split from some merged bfq_queue,
one of these conditions is that two hundred milliseconds must elapse from
split, otherwise this condition is always met.
Unfortunately, by mistake, time_is_after_jiffies() was written instead of
time_is_before_jiffies() for this check, verifying that less than two
hundred milliseconds have elapsed instead of verifying that at least two
hundred milliseconds have elapsed.
Fix this issue by replacing time_is_after_jiffies() with
time_is_before_jiffies().

Merged bfq_queues are kept out of weight-raising (low-latency)
mechanisms. The reason is that these queues are usually created for
non-interactive and non-soft-real-time tasks. Yet this is not the case
for stably-merged queues. These queues are merged just because they
are created shortly after each other. So they may easily serve the I/O
of an interactive or soft-real time application, if the application
happens to spawn multiple processes.
To address this issue, this commits lets also stably-merged queued
enjoy weight raising.

rwb_enabled()
Now that we disable wbt by simply zero out rwb->wb_normal in
wbt_disable_default() when switch elevator to bfq, but it's not safe
because it will become false positive if we change queue depth. If it
become false positive between wbt_wait() and wbt_track() when submit
write request, it will lead to drop rqw->inflight to -1 in wbt_done(),
which will end up trigger IO hung. Fix this issue by introduce a new
state which mean the wbt was disabled.

While one or more requests with a certain I/O priority are pending, do not
dispatch lower priority requests. Dispatch lower priority requests anyway
after the "aging" time has expired.
This patch has been tested as follows:
modprobe scsi_debug ndelay=1000000 max_queue=16 &&
sd='' &&
while [ -z "$sd" ]; do
sd=/dev/$(basename /sys/bus/pseudo/drivers/scsi_debug/adapter*/host*/target*/*/block/*)
done &&
echo $((100*1000)) > /sys/block/$sd/queue/iosched/aging_expire &&
cd /sys/fs/cgroup/blkio/ &&
echo $$ >cgroup.procs &&
echo restrict-to-be >blkio.prio.class &&
mkdir -p hipri &&
cd hipri &&
echo none-to-rt >blkio.prio.class &&
{ max-iops -a1 -d32 -j1 -e mq-deadline $sd >& ~/low-pri.txt & } &&
echo $$ >cgroup.procs &&
max-iops -a1 -d32 -j1 -e mq-deadline $sd >& ~/hi-pri.txt
Result:
* 11000 IOPS for the high-priority job
* 40 IOPS for the low-priority job
If the aging expiry time is changed from 100s into 0, the IOPS results change
into 6712 and 6796 IOPS.
The max-iops script is a script that runs fio with the following arguments:
--bs=4K --gtod_reduce=1 --ioengine=libaio --ioscheduler=${arg_e} --runtime=60

When dispatching the first request of a batch, the deadline_move_request()
call clears .next_rq[] for the opposite data direction. .next_rq[] is not
restored when changing data direction. Fix this by not clearing .next_rq[]
and by keeping track of the data direction of a batch in a variable instead.
This patch is a micro-optimization because:
- The number of deadline_next_request() calls for the read direction is
halved.
- The number of times that deadline_next_request() returns NULL is reduced.

For interactive workloads it is important that synchronous requests are
not delayed. Hence reserve 25% of scheduler tags for synchronous requests.
This patch still allows asynchronous requests to fill the hardware queues
since blk_mq_init_sched() makes sure that the number of scheduler requests
is the double of the hardware queue depth. From blk_mq_init_sched():
q->nr_requests = 2 * min_t(unsigned int, q->tag_set->queue_depth,
BLKDEV_MAX_RQ);

Introduce an rq-qos policy that assigns an I/O priority to requests based
on blk-cgroup configuration settings. This policy has the following
advantages over the ioprio_set() system call:
- This policy is cgroup based so it has all the advantages of cgroups.
- While ioprio_set() does not affect page cache writeback I/O, this rq-qos
controller affects page cache writeback I/O for filesystems that support
assiociating a cgroup with writeback I/O. See also

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
runs doing 4K random direct reads with psync and 32 jobs).

The block layer provides emulation of zone management operations
targeting all zones of a zoned block device only for the zone reset
operation (REQ_OP_ZONE_RESET). In order to correctly implement
exporting of zoned block devices with NVMeOF, emulating zone management
operations targeting all zones of a device is also necessary for the
open, close and finish zone operations (REQ_OP_ZONE_OPEN,
REQ_OP_ZONE_CLOSE and REQ_OP_ZONE_FINISH).
Instead of duplicating the code, export the existing helper from block
layer so we can use a bio chaining pattern that is present in the block
layer for REQ_OP_ZONE RESET all emulation in the NVMeOF zoned block
device backend.

Yi reported several kernel panics on:
[16687.001777] Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 0000000000000008
...
[16687.163549] pc : __rq_qos_track+0x38/0x60
or
[ 997.690455] Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 0000000000000020
...
[ 997.850347] pc : __rq_qos_done+0x2c/0x50
Turns out it is caused by race between adding rq qos(wbt) and normal IO
because rq_qos_add can be run when IO is being submitted, fix this issue
by freezing queue before adding/deleting rq qos to queue.
rq_qos_exit() needn't to freeze queue because it is called after queue
has been frozen.
iolatency calls rq_qos_add() during allocating queue, so freezing won't
add delay because queue usage refcount works at atomic mode at that
time.
iocost calls rq_qos_add() when writing cgroup attribute file, that is
fine to freeze queue at that time since we usually freeze queue when
storing to queue sysfs attribute, meantime iocost only exists on the
root cgroup.
wbt_init calls it in blk_register_queue() and queue sysfs attribute
store(queue_wb_lat_store() when write it 1st time in case of !BLK_WBT_MQ),
the following patch will speedup the queue freezing in wbt_init.

Commit 545fbd0775ba ("rq-qos: fix missed wake-ups in rq_qos_throttle")
tried to fix a problem that a process could be sleeping in rq_qos_wait()
without anyone to wake it up. However the fix is not complete and the
following can still happen:
CPU1 (waiter1) CPU2 (waiter2) CPU3 (waker)
rq_qos_wait() rq_qos_wait()
acquire_inflight_cb() -> fails
acquire_inflight_cb() -> fails
completes IOs, inflight
decreased
prepare_to_wait_exclusive()
prepare_to_wait_exclusive()
has_sleeper = !wq_has_single_sleeper() -> true as there are two sleepers
has_sleeper = !wq_has_single_sleeper() -> true
io_schedule() io_schedule()
Deadlock as now there's nobody to wakeup the two waiters. The logic
automatically blocking when there are already sleepers is really subtle
and the only way to make it work reliably is that we check whether there
are some waiters in the queue when adding ourselves there. That way, we
are guaranteed that at least the first process to enter the wait queue
will recheck the waiting condition before going to sleep and thus
guarantee forward progress.

SCSI, ZNS and null_blk zoned devices support resetting all zones using
a single command (REQ_OP_ZONE_RESET_ALL), as indicated using the device
request queue flag QUEUE_FLAG_ZONE_RESETALL. This flag is not set for
device mapper targets creating zoned devices. In this case, a user
request for resetting all zones of a device is processed in
blkdev_zone_mgmt() by issuing a REQ_OP_ZONE_RESET operation for each
zone of the device. This leads to different behaviors of the
BLKRESETZONE ioctl() depending on the target device support for the
reset all operation. E.g.
blkzone reset /dev/sdX
will reset all zones of a SCSI device using a single command that will
ignore conventional, read-only or offline zones.
But a dm-linear device including conventional, read-only or offline
zones cannot be reset in the same manner as some of the single zone
reset operations issued by blkdev_zone_mgmt() will fail. E.g.:
blkzone reset /dev/dm-Y
blkzone: /dev/dm-0: BLKRESETZONE ioctl failed: Remote I/O error
To simplify applications and tools development, unify the behavior of
the all-zone reset operation by modifying blkdev_zone_mgmt() to not
issue a zone reset operation for conventional, read-only and offline
zones, thus mimicking what an actual reset-all device command does on a
device supporting REQ_OP_ZONE_RESET_ALL. This emulation is done using
the new function blkdev_zone_reset_all_emulated(). The zones needing a
reset are identified using a bitmap that is initialized using a zone
report. Since empty zones do not need a reset, also ignore these zones.
The function blkdev_zone_reset_all() is introduced for block devices
natively supporting reset all operations. blkdev_zone_mgmt() is modified
to call either function to execute an all zone reset request.

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.
