blk_mq_sched_bio_merge is only called from blk-mq.c:blk_attempt_bio_merge(),
which is called when queue usage counter is grabbed already:
1) blk_mq_get_new_requests()
2) blk_mq_get_request()
- cached request in current plug owns one queue usage counter
So don't grab ->q_usage_counter in blk_mq_sched_bio_merge(), and more
importantly this nest way causes hang in blk_mq_freeze_queue_wait().

Retain the old logic for the fops based submit, but for our internal
blk_mq_submit_bio(), move the queue entering logic into the core
function itself.
We need to be a bit careful if going into the scheduler, as a scheduler
or queue mappings can arbitrarily change before we have entered the queue.
Have the bio scheduler mapping do that separately, it's a very cheap
operation compared to actually doing merging locking and lookups.

These were added as part of early days debugging for blk-mq, and they

just get rid of them.

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).

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.

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.

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.

__blk_mq_sched_bio_merge() gets the ctx and hctx for the current CPU and

the two calls to blk_mq_get_ctx(), and the ctx returned the second time

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.

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 bf0beec060
("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 6eb045e092 ("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].

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.

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 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
callback.

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
rerun.

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".

commit 01e99aeca3 ("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 01e99aeca3 ("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.
