2015-12-03blk-mq: Avoid memoryless numa node encoded in hctx numa_nodeRaghavendra K T1-1/+1
In architecture like powerpc, we can have cpus without any local memory attached to it (a.k.a memoryless nodes). In such cases cpu to node mapping can result in memory allocation hints for block hctx->numa_node populated with node values which does not have real memory. Instead use local_memory_node(), which is guaranteed to have memory. local_memory_node is a noop in other architectures that does not support memoryless nodes.

2015-09-29blk-mq: avoid inserting requests before establishing new mappingAkinobu Mita1-4/+5
Notifier callbacks for CPU_ONLINE action can be run on the other CPU than the CPU which was just onlined. So it is possible for the process running on the just onlined CPU to insert request and run hw queue before establishing new mapping which is done by blk_mq_queue_reinit_notify(). This can cause a problem when the CPU has just been onlined first time since the request queue was initialized. At this time ctx->index_hw for the CPU, which is the index in hctx->ctxs[] for this ctx, is still zero before blk_mq_queue_reinit_notify() is called by notifier callbacks for CPU_ONLINE action. For example, there is a single hw queue (hctx) and two CPU queues (ctx0 for CPU0, and ctx1 for CPU1). Now CPU1 is just onlined and a request is inserted into ctx1->rq_list and set bit0 in pending bitmap as ctx1->index_hw is still zero. And then while running hw queue, flush_busy_ctxs() finds bit0 is set in pending bitmap and tries to retrieve requests in hctx->ctxs[0]->rq_list. But htx->ctxs[0] is a pointer to ctx0, so the request in ctx1->rq_list is ignored. Fix it by ensuring that new mapping is established before onlined cpu starts running.

2014-12-09blk-mq: Use all available hardware queuesBart Van Assche1-1/+1
Suppose that a system has two CPU sockets, three cores per socket, that it does not support hyperthreading and that four hardware queues are provided by a block driver. With the current algorithm this will lead to the following assignment of CPU cores to hardware queues: HWQ 0: 0 1 HWQ 1: 2 3 HWQ 2: 4 5 HWQ 3: (none) This patch changes the queue assignment into: HWQ 0: 0 1 HWQ 1: 2 HWQ 2: 3 4 HWQ 3: 5 In other words, this patch has the following three effects: - All four hardware queues are used instead of only three. - CPU cores are spread more evenly over hardware queues. For the above example the range of the number of CPU cores associated with a single HWQ is reduced from [0..2] to [1..2]. - If the number of HWQ's is a multiple of the number of CPU sockets it is now guaranteed that all CPU cores associated with a single HWQ reside on the same CPU socket.

We currently use num_possible_cpus(), but that breaks on sparc64 where the CPU ID space is discontig. Use nr_cpu_ids as the highest CPU ID instead, so we don't end up reading from invalid memory. Cc: stable@kernel.org # 3.13+ Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@fb.com>

2013-10-25blk-mq: new multi-queue block IO queueing mechanismJens Axboe1-0/+108
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).
