2014-03-21blk-mq: merge blk_mq_insert_request and blk_mq_run_requestChristoph Hellwig1-1/+0
It's almost identical to blk_mq_insert_request, so fold the two into one slightly more generic function by making the flush special case a bit smarted. Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@fb.com>
2014-03-20blk-mq: don't dump CPU -> hw queue map on driver loadJens Axboe1-0/+2
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>
2014-02-10blk-mq: rework flush sequencing logicChristoph Hellwig1-0/+1
Witch to using a preallocated flush_rq for blk-mq similar to what's done with the old request path. This allows us to set up the request properly with a tag from the actually allowed range and ->rq_disk as needed by some drivers. To make life easier we also switch to dynamic allocation of ->flush_rq for the old path. This effectively reverts most of "blk-mq: fix for flush deadlock" and "blk-mq: Don't reserve a tag for flush request" Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@fb.com>
2014-02-10blk-mq: rework I/O completionsChristoph Hellwig1-2/+1
Rework I/O completions to work more like the old code path. blk_mq_end_io now stays out of the business of deferring completions to others CPUs and calling blk_mark_rq_complete. The latter is very important to allow completing requests that have timed out and thus are already marked completed, the former allows using the IPI callout even for driver specific completions instead of having to reimplement them.

2014-01-09blk-mq: use __smp_call_function_single directlyChristoph Hellwig1-1/+0
__smp_call_function_single already avoids multiple IPIs by internally queing up the items, and now also is available for non-SMP builds as a trivially correct stub, so there is no need to wrap it. If the additional lock roundtrip cause problems my patch to convert the generic IPI code to llists is waiting to get merged will fix it.

2013-12-31block: blk-mq: don't export blk_mq_free_queue()Ming Lei1-0/+1
blk_mq_free_queue() is called from release handler of queue kobject, so it needn't be called from drivers. Cc: Jens Axboe <axboe@kernel.dk> Signed-off-by: Ming Lei <tom.leiming@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@kernel.dk>
2013-12-31block: blk-mq: support draining mq queueMing Lei1-0/+1
blk_mq_drain_queue() is introduced so that we can drain mq queue inside blk_cleanup_queue(). Also don't accept new requests any more if queue is marked as dying. Cc: Jens Axboe <axboe@kernel.dk> Signed-off-by: Ming Lei <tom.leiming@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@kernel.dk>
2013-10-25blk-mq: new multi-queue block IO queueing mechanismJens Axboe1-0/+52
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).
