Linus Torvalds caf292ae5b Merge branch 'for-3.19/core' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux-block
Pull block driver core update from Jens Axboe:
 "This is the pull request for the core block IO changes for 3.19.  Not
  a huge round this time, mostly lots of little good fixes:

   - Fix a bug in sysfs blktrace interface causing a NULL pointer
     dereference, when enabled/disabled through that API.  From Arianna
     Avanzini.

   - Various updates/fixes/improvements for blk-mq:

        - A set of updates from Bart, mostly fixing buts in the tag
          handling.

        - Cleanup/code consolidation from Christoph.

        - Extend queue_rq API to be able to handle batching issues of IO
          requests. NVMe will utilize this shortly. From me.

        - A few tag and request handling updates from me.

        - Cleanup of the preempt handling for running queues from Paolo.

        - Prevent running of unmapped hardware queues from Ming Lei.

        - Move the kdump memory limiting check to be in the correct
          location, from Shaohua.

        - Initialize all software queues at init time from Takashi. This
          prevents a kobject warning when CPUs are brought online that
          weren't online when a queue was registered.

   - Single writeback fix for I_DIRTY clearing from Tejun.  Queued with
     the core IO changes, since it's just a single fix.

   - Version X of the __bio_add_page() segment addition retry from
     Maurizio.  Hope the Xth time is the charm.

   - Documentation fixup for IO scheduler merging from Jan.

   - Introduce (and use) generic IO stat accounting helpers for non-rq
     drivers, from Gu Zheng.

   - Kill off artificial limiting of max sectors in a request from
     Christoph"

Jens Axboe 7c7f2f2bc9 blk-mq: add blk_mq_free_hctx_request()
It's silly to use blk_mq_free_request() which in turn maps the
request to the hardware queue, for places where we already know
what the hardware queue is. This saves us an extra mapping of a
hardware queue on request completion, if the caller knows this
information already.

Bart Van Assche 205fb5f5ba blk-mq: add blk_mq_unique_tag()
The queuecommand() callback functions in SCSI low-level drivers
need to know which hardware context has been selected by the
block layer. Since this information is not available in the
request structure, and since passing the hctx pointer directly to
the queuecommand callback function would require modification of
all SCSI LLDs, add a function to the block layer that allows to
query the hardware context index.

Jens Axboe 74c450521d blk-mq: add a 'list' parameter to ->queue_rq()
Since we have the notion of a 'last' request in a chain, we can use
this to have the hardware optimize the issuing of requests. Add
a list_head parameter to queue_rq that the driver can use to
temporarily store hw commands for issue when 'last' is true. If we
are doing a chain of requests, pass in a NULL list for the first
request to force issue of that immediately, then batch the remainder
for deferred issue until the last request has been sent.

Instead of adding yet another argument to the hot ->queue_rq path,
encapsulate the passed arguments in a blk_mq_queue_data structure.
This is passed as a constant, and has been tested as faster than
passing 4 (or even 3) args through ->queue_rq. Update drivers for
the new ->queue_rq() prototype. There are no functional changes
in this patch for drivers - if they don't use the passed in list,
then they will just queue requests individually like before.

Ming Lei f70ced0917 blk-mq: support per-distpatch_queue flush machinery
This patch supports to run one single flush machinery for
each blk-mq dispatch queue, so that:

- current init_request and exit_request callbacks can
cover flush request too, then the buggy copying way of
initializing flush request's pdu can be fixed

- flushing performance gets improved in case of multi hw-queue

In fio sync write test over virtio-blk(4 hw queues, ioengine=sync,
iodepth=64, numjobs=4, bs=4K), it is observed that througput gets
increased a lot over my test environment:
	- throughput: +70% in case of virtio-blk over null_blk
	- throughput: +30% in case of virtio-blk over SSD image

The multi virtqueue feature isn't merged to QEMU yet, and patches for
the feature can be found in below tree:

	git://kernel.ubuntu.com/ming/qemu.git  	v2.1.0-mq.4

And simply passing 'num_queues=4 vectors=5' should be enough to
enable multi queue(quad queue) feature for QEMU virtio-blk.

Tejun Heo 17497acbdc blk-mq, percpu_ref: start q->mq_usage_counter in atomic mode
blk-mq uses percpu_ref for its usage counter which tracks the number
of in-flight commands and used to synchronously drain the queue on
freeze.  percpu_ref shutdown takes measureable wallclock time as it
involves a sched RCU grace period.  This means that draining a blk-mq
takes measureable wallclock time.  One would think that this shouldn't
matter as queue shutdown should be a rare event which takes place
asynchronously w.r.t. userland.

Unfortunately, SCSI probing involves synchronously setting up and then
tearing down a lot of request_queues back-to-back for non-existent
LUNs.  This means that SCSI probing may take above ten seconds when
scsi-mq is used.

This is also the reason why request_queues start in bypass mode which
is ended on blk_register_queue() as shutting down a fully functional
queue also involves a RCU grace period and the queues for non-existent
SCSI devices never reach registration.

blk-mq basically needs to do the same thing - start the mq in a
degraded mode which is faster to shut down and then make it fully
functional only after the queue reaches registration.  percpu_ref
recently grew facilities to force atomic operation until explicitly
switched to percpu mode, which can be used for this purpose.  This
patch makes blk-mq initialize q->mq_usage_counter in atomic mode and
switch it to percpu mode only once blk_register_queue() is reached.

Note that this issue was previously worked around by 0a30288da1
("blk-mq, percpu_ref: implement a kludge for SCSI blk-mq stall during
probe") for v3.17.  The temp fix was reverted in preparation of adding
persistent atomic mode to percpu_ref by 9eca80461a ("Revert "blk-mq,
percpu_ref: implement a kludge for SCSI blk-mq stall during probe"").
This patch and the prerequisite percpu_ref changes will be merged
during v3.18 devel cycle.

Jens Axboe 95f0968499 blk-mq: allow non-softirq completions

Let blk_mq_complete_request() handle non-softirq_done_fn completions

ports to place completions correctly, it need not define a
mq_ops->complete() and we can avoid an indirect function call by

Each hardware queue has a bitmap of software queues with pending
requests. When new IO is queued on a software queue, the bit is
set, and when IO is pruned on a hardware queue run, the bit is
cleared. This causes a lot of traffic. Switch this from the regular
BITS_PER_LONG bitmap to a sparser layout, similarly to what was
done for blk-mq tagging.

20% performance increase was observed for single threaded IO, and

Jens Axboe 0d2602ca30 blk-mq: improve support for shared tags maps
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.

Jens Axboe 4bb659b156 blk-mq: implement new and more efficient tagging scheme
blk-mq currently uses percpu_ida for tag allocation. But that only
works well if the ratio between tag space and number of CPUs is
sufficiently high. For most devices and systems, that is not the
case. The end result if that we either only utilize the tag space
partially, or we end up attempting to fully exhaust it and run
into lots of lock contention with stealing between CPUs. This is
not optimal.

This new tagging scheme is a hybrid bitmap allocator. It uses
two tricks to both be SMP friendly and allow full exhaustion
of the space:

1) We cache the last allocated (or freed) tag on a per blk-mq
   software context basis. This allows us to limit the space
   we have to search. The key element here is not caching it
   in the shared tag structure, otherwise we end up dirtying
   more shared cache lines on each allocate/free operation.

2) The tag space is split into cache line sized groups, and
   each context will start off randomly in that space. Even up
   to full utilization of the space, this divides the tag users
   efficiently into cache line groups, avoiding dirtying the same
   one both between allocators and between allocator and freeer.

This scheme shows drastically better behaviour, both on small
tag spaces but on large ones as well. It has been tested extensively
to show better performance for all the cases blk-mq cares about.

Christoph Hellwig 3853520163 blk-mq: respect rq_affinity
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.

Christoph Hellwig e9b267d91f blk-mq: add ->init_request and ->exit_request methods
The current blk_mq_init_commands/blk_mq_free_commands interface has a
two problems:

 1) Because only the constructor is passed to blk_mq_init_commands there
    is no easy way to clean up when a comman initialization failed.  The
    current code simply leaks the allocations done in the constructor.

 2) There is no good place to call blk_mq_free_commands: before
    blk_cleanup_queue there is no guarantee that all outstanding
    commands have completed, so we can't free them yet.  After
    blk_cleanup_queue the queue has usually been freed.  This can be
    worked around by grabbing an unconditional reference before calling
    blk_cleanup_queue and dropping it after blk_mq_free_commands is
    done, although that's not exatly pretty and driver writers are
    guaranteed to get it wrong sooner or later.

Both issues are easily fixed by making the request constructor and
destructor normal blk_mq_ops methods.

BLK_MQ_F_* flags are for hctx->flags, and are non-atomic and
set at registration time. BLK_MQ_S_* flags are dynamic and
atomic, and are accessed through hctx->state.

Some of the BLK_MQ_S_STOPPED uses were wrong. Additionally,
the header file should not use a bit shift for the _S_ flags,
as they are done through the set/test_bit functions.

Jens Axboe 95363efde1 blk-mq: allow blk_mq_init_commands() to return failure
If drivers do dynamic allocation in the hardware command init
path, then we need to be able to handle and return failures.

And if they do allocations or mappings in the init command path,
then we need a cleanup function to free up that space at exit
time. So add blk_mq_free_commands() as the cleanup function.

This is required for the mtip32xx driver conversion to blk-mq.

Christoph Hellwig 18741986a4 blk-mq: rework flush sequencing logic
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.
