cc3200eac4 blk-mq: insert flush request to the front of dispatch queue
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").

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.

284b94be19 blk-mq: move lockdep_assert_held() into elevator_exit
Commit c48dac137a ("block: don't hold q->sysfs_lock in elevator_init_mq")
removes q->sysfs_lock from elevator_init_mq(), but forgot to deal with
lockdep_assert_held() called in blk_mq_sched_free_requests() which is
run in failure path of elevator_init_mq().

blk_mq_sched_free_requests() is called in the following 3 functions:

	elevator_init_mq()
	elevator_exit()
	blk_cleanup_queue()

In blk_cleanup_queue(), blk_mq_sched_free_requests() is followed exactly
by 'mutex_lock(&q->sysfs_lock)'.

So moving the lockdep_assert_held() from blk_mq_sched_free_requests()
into elevator_exit() for fixing the report by syzbot.

c05f42206f blk-mq: remove blk_mq_put_ctx()
No code that occurs between blk_mq_get_ctx() and blk_mq_put_ctx() depends
on preemption being disabled for its correctness. Since removing the CPU
preemption calls does not measurably affect performance, simplify the
blk-mq code by removing the blk_mq_put_ctx() function and also by not
disabling preemption in blk_mq_get_ctx().

14ccb66b3f block: remove the bi_phys_segments field in struct bio
We only need the number of segments in the blk-mq submission path.
Remove the field from struct bio, and return it from a variant of
blk_queue_split instead of that it can passed as an argument to
those functions that need the value.

This also means we stop recounting segments except for cloning
and partial segments.

To keep the number of arguments in this how path down remove
pointless struct request_queue arguments from any of the functions
that had it and grew a nr_segs argument.

c3e2219216 block: free sched's request pool in blk_cleanup_queue
In theory, IO scheduler belongs to request queue, and the request pool
of sched tags belongs to the request queue too.

However, the current tags allocation interfaces are re-used for both
driver tags and sched tags, and driver tags is definitely host wide,
and doesn't belong to any request queue, same with its request pool.
So we need tagset instance for freeing request of sched tags.

Meantime, blk_mq_free_tag_set() often follows blk_cleanup_queue() in case
of non-BLK_MQ_F_TAG_SHARED, this way requires that request pool of sched
tags to be freed before calling blk_mq_free_tag_set().

Commit 47cdee29ef ("block: move blk_exit_queue into __blk_release_queue")
moves blk_exit_queue into __blk_release_queue for simplying the fast
path in generic_make_request(), then causes oops during freeing requests
of sched tags in __blk_release_queue().

Fix the above issue by move freeing request pool of sched tags into
blk_cleanup_queue(), this way is safe becasue queue has been frozen and no any
in-queue requests at that time. Freeing sched tags has to be kept in queue's
release handler becasue there might be un-completed dispatch activity
which might refer to sched tags.

e87eb301be blk-mq: grab .q_usage_counter when queuing request from plug code path
Just like aio/io_uring, we need to grab 2 refcount for queuing one
request, one is for submission, another is for completion.

If the request isn't queued from plug code path, the refcount grabbed
in generic_make_request() serves for submission. In theroy, this
refcount should have been released after the sumission(async run queue)
is done. blk_freeze_queue() works with blk_sync_queue() together
for avoiding race between cleanup queue and IO submission, given async
run queue activities are canceled because hctx->run_work is scheduled with
the refcount held, so it is fine to not hold the refcount when
running the run queue work function for dispatch IO.

However, if request is staggered into plug list, and finally queued
from plug code path, the refcount in submission side is actually missed.
And we may start to run queue after queue is removed because the queue's
kobject refcount isn't guaranteed to be grabbed in flushing plug list
context, then kernel oops is triggered, see the following race:

blk_mq_flush_plug_list():
        blk_mq_sched_insert_requests()
                insert requests to sw queue or scheduler queue
                blk_mq_run_hw_queue

Because of concurrent run queue, all requests inserted above may be
completed before calling the above blk_mq_run_hw_queue. Then queue can
be freed during the above blk_mq_run_hw_queue().

Fixes the issue by grab .q_usage_counter before calling
blk_mq_sched_insert_requests() in blk_mq_flush_plug_list(). This way is
safe because the queue is absolutely alive before inserting request.

fd9c40f64c block: Revert v5.0 blk_mq_request_issue_directly() changes
blk_mq_try_issue_directly() can return BLK_STS*_RESOURCE for requests that
have been queued. If that happens when blk_mq_try_issue_directly() is called
by the dm-mpath driver then dm-mpath will try to resubmit a request that is
already queued and a kernel crash follows. Since it is nontrivial to fix
blk_mq_request_issue_directly(), revert the blk_mq_request_issue_directly()
changes that went into kernel v5.0.

This patch reverts the following commits:
* d6a51a97c0 ("blk-mq: replace and kill blk_mq_request_issue_directly") # v5.0.
* 5b7a6f128a ("blk-mq: issue directly with bypass 'false' in blk_mq_sched_insert_requests") # v5.0.

8ccdf4a377 blk-mq: save queue mapping result into ctx directly
Currently, the queue mapping result is saved in a two-dimensional
array. In the hot path, to get a hctx, we need do following:

  q->queue_hw_ctx[q->tag_set->map[type].mq_map[cpu]]

This isn't very efficient. We could save the queue mapping result into
ctx directly with different hctx type, like,

  ctx->hctxs[type]

c16d6b5a9f blk-mq: fix dispatch from sw queue
When a request is added to rq list of sw queue(ctx), the rq may be from
a different type of hctx, especially after multi queue mapping is
introduced.

So when dispach request from sw queue via blk_mq_flush_busy_ctxs() or
blk_mq_dequeue_from_ctx(), one request belonging to other queue type of
hctx can be dispatched to current hctx in case that read queue or poll
queue is enabled.

This patch fixes this issue by introducing per-queue-type list.

7211aef86f block: mq-deadline: Fix write completion handling
For a zoned block device using mq-deadline, if a write request for a
zone is received while another write was already dispatched for the same
zone, dd_dispatch_request() will return NULL and the newly inserted
write request is kept in the scheduler queue waiting for the ongoing
zone write to complete. With this behavior, when no other request has
been dispatched, rq_list in blk_mq_sched_dispatch_requests() is empty
and blk_mq_sched_mark_restart_hctx() not called. This in turn leads to
__blk_mq_free_request() call of blk_mq_sched_restart() to not run the
queue when the already dispatched write request completes. The newly
dispatched request stays stuck in the scheduler queue until eventually
another request is submitted.

This problem does not affect SCSI disk as the SCSI stack handles queue
restart on request completion. However, this problem is can be triggered
the nullblk driver with zoned mode enabled.

Fix this by always requesting a queue restart in dd_dispatch_request()
if no request was dispatched while WRITE requests are queued.

There are still some single hw queue SCSI HBAs(HPSA, megaraid_sas, ...)
which may connect high performance devices, so 'none' is often required
for obtaining good performance.

This patch improves IOPS and decreases CPU unilization on megaraid_sas,

97889f9ac2 blk-mq: remove synchronize_rcu() from blk_mq_del_queue_tag_set()
We have to remove synchronize_rcu() from blk_queue_cleanup(),
otherwise long delay can be caused during lun probe. For removing
it, we have to avoid to iterate the set->tag_list in IO path, eg,
blk_mq_sched_restart().

This patch reverts 5b79413946d (Revert "blk-mq: don't handle
TAG_SHARED in restart"). Given we have fixed enough IO hang issue,
and there isn't any reason to restart all queues in one tags any more,
see the following reasons:

1) blk-mq core can deal with shared-tags case well via blk_mq_get_driver_tag(),
which can wake up queues waiting for driver tag.

2) SCSI is a bit special because it may return BLK_STS_RESOURCE if queue,
target or host is ready, but SCSI built-in restart can cover all these well,
see scsi_end_request(), queue will be rerun after any request initiated from
this host/target is completed.

In my test on scsi_debug(8 luns), this patch may improve IOPS by 20% ~ 30%
when running I/O on these 8 luns concurrently.

Now we setup q->nr_requests when switching to one new scheduler,
but not do it for 'none', then q->nr_requests may not be correct

This patch fixes this issue by always updating 'nr_requests' when

79f720a751 blk-mq: only run the hardware queue if IO is pending
Currently we are inconsistent in when we decide to run the queue. Using
blk_mq_run_hw_queues() we check if the hctx has pending IO before
running it, but we don't do that from the individual queue run function,
blk_mq_run_hw_queue(). This results in a lot of extra and pointless
queue runs, potentially, on flush requests and (much worse) on tag
starvation situations. This is observable just looking at top output,
with lots of kworkers active. For the !async runs, it just adds to the
CPU overhead of blk-mq.

Move the has-pending check into the run function instead of having
callers do it.

923218f616 blk-mq: don't allocate driver tag upfront for flush rq
The idea behind it is simple:

1) for none scheduler, driver tag has to be borrowed for flush rq,
   otherwise we may run out of tag, and that causes an IO hang. And
   get/put driver tag is actually noop for none, so reordering tags
   isn't necessary at all.

2) for a real I/O scheduler, we need not allocate a driver tag upfront
   for flush rq. It works just fine to follow the same approach as
   normal requests: allocate driver tag for each rq just before calling
   ->queue_rq().

One driver visible change is that the driver tag isn't shared in the
flush request sequence. That won't be a problem, since we always do that
in legacy path.

Then flush rq need not be treated specially wrt. get/put driver tag.
This cleans up the code - for instance, reorder_tags_to_front() can be
removed, and we needn't worry about request ordering in dispatch list
for avoiding I/O deadlock.

Also we have to put the driver tag before requeueing.

a6a252e649 blk-mq-sched: decide how to handle flush rq via RQF_FLUSH_SEQ
In case of IO scheduler we always pre-allocate one driver tag before
calling blk_insert_flush(), and flush request will be marked as
RQF_FLUSH_SEQ once it is in flush machinery.

So if RQF_FLUSH_SEQ isn't set, we call blk_insert_flush() to handle
the request, otherwise the flush request is dispatched to ->dispatch
list directly.

This is a preparation patch for not preallocating a driver tag for flush
requests, and for not treating flush requests as a special case. This is
similar to what the legacy path does.

358a3a6bcc blk-mq: don't handle TAG_SHARED in restart
Now restart is used in the following cases, and TAG_SHARED is for
SCSI only.

1) .get_budget() returns BLK_STS_RESOURCE
- if resource in target/host level isn't satisfied, this SCSI device
will be added in shost->starved_list, and the whole queue will be rerun
(via SCSI's built-in RESTART) in scsi_end_request() after any request
initiated from this host/targe is completed. Forget to mention, host level
resource can't be an issue for blk-mq at all.

- the same is true if resource in the queue level isn't satisfied.

- if there isn't outstanding request on this queue, then SCSI's RESTART
can't work(blk-mq's can't work too), and the queue will be run after
SCSI_QUEUE_DELAY, and finally all starved sdevs will be handled by SCSI's
RESTART when this request is finished

2) scsi_dispatch_cmd() returns BLK_STS_RESOURCE
- if there isn't onprogressing request on this queue, the queue
will be run after SCSI_QUEUE_DELAY

- otherwise, SCSI's RESTART covers the rerun.

3) blk_mq_get_driver_tag() failed
- BLK_MQ_S_TAG_WAITING covers the cross-queue RESTART for driver
allocation.

In one word, SCSI's built-in RESTART is enough to cover the queue
rerun, and we don't need to pay special attention to TAG_SHARED wrt. restart.

In my test on scsi_debug(8 luns), this patch improves IOPS by 20% ~ 30% when
running I/O on these 8 luns concurrently.

Aslo Roman Pen reported the current RESTART is very expensive especialy
when there are lots of LUNs attached in one host, such as in his
test, RESTART causes half of IOPS be cut.

b347689ffb blk-mq-sched: improve dispatching from sw queue
SCSI devices use host-wide tagset, and the shared driver tag space is
often quite big. However, there is also a queue depth for each lun(
.cmd_per_lun), which is often small, for example, on both lpfc and
qla2xxx, .cmd_per_lun is just 3.

So lots of requests may stay in sw queue, and we always flush all
belonging to same hw queue and dispatch them all to driver.
Unfortunately it is easy to cause queue busy because of the small
.cmd_per_lun.  Once these requests are flushed out, they have to stay in
hctx->dispatch, and no bio merge can happen on these requests, and
sequential IO performance is harmed.

This patch introduces blk_mq_dequeue_from_ctx for dequeuing a request
from a sw queue, so that we can dispatch them in scheduler's way. We can
then avoid dequeueing too many requests from sw queue, since we don't
flush ->dispatch completely.

This patch improves dispatching from sw queue by using the .get_budget
and .put_budget callbacks.

de14829740 blk-mq: introduce .get_budget and .put_budget in blk_mq_ops
For SCSI devices, there is often a per-request-queue depth, which needs
to be respected before queuing one request.

Currently blk-mq always dequeues the request first, then calls
.queue_rq() to dispatch the request to lld. One obvious issue with this
approach is that I/O merging may not be successful, because when the
per-request-queue depth can't be respected, .queue_rq() has to return
BLK_STS_RESOURCE, and then this request has to stay in hctx->dispatch
list. This means it never gets a chance to be merged with other IO.

This patch introduces .get_budget and .put_budget callback in blk_mq_ops,
then we can try to get reserved budget first before dequeuing request.
If the budget for queueing I/O can't be satisfied, we don't need to
dequeue request at all. Hence the request can be left in the IO
scheduler queue, for more merging opportunities.

32825c45ff blk-mq-sched: fix performance regression of mq-deadline
When mq-deadline is taken, IOPS of sequential read and
seqential write is observed more than 20% drop on sata(scsi-mq)
devices, compared with using 'none' scheduler.

The reason is that the default nr_requests for scheduler is
too big for small queuedepth devices, and latency is increased
much.

Since the principle of taking 256 requests for mq scheduler
is based on 128 queue depth, this patch changes into
double size of min(hw queue_depth, 128).

8e8320c931 blk-mq: fix performance regression with shared tags
If we have shared tags enabled, then every IO completion will trigger
a full loop of every queue belonging to a tag set, and every hardware
queue for each of those queues, even if nothing needs to be done.
This causes a massive performance regression if you have a lot of
shared devices.

Instead of doing this huge full scan on every IO, add an atomic
counter to the main queue that tracks how many hardware queues have
been marked as needing a restart. With that, we can avoid looking for
restartable queues, if we don't have to.

Max reports that this restores performance. Before this patch, 4K
IOPS was limited to 22-23K IOPS. With the patch, we are running at
950-970K IOPS.

f4560ffe8c blk-mq: use QUEUE_FLAG_QUIESCED to quiesce queue
It is required that no dispatch can happen any more once
blk_mq_quiesce_queue() returns, and we don't have such requirement
on APIs of stopping queue.

But blk_mq_quiesce_queue() still may not block/drain dispatch in the
the case of BLK_MQ_S_START_ON_RUN, so use the new introduced flag of
QUEUE_FLAG_QUIESCED and evaluate it inside RCU read-side critical
sections for fixing this issue.

Also blk_mq_quiesce_queue() is implemented via stopping queue, which
limits its uses, and easy to cause race, because any queue restart in
other paths may break blk_mq_quiesce_queue(). With the introduced
flag of QUEUE_FLAG_QUIESCED, we don't need to depend on stopping queue
for quiescing any more.

81380ca107 blk-mq: use the right hctx when getting a driver tag fails
While dispatching requests, if we fail to get a driver tag, we mark the
hardware queue as waiting for a tag and put the requests on a
hctx->dispatch list to be run later when a driver tag is freed. However,
blk_mq_dispatch_rq_list() may dispatch requests from multiple hardware
queues if using a single-queue scheduler with a multiqueue device. If
blk_mq_get_driver_tag() fails, it doesn't update the hardware queue we
are processing. This means we end up using the hardware queue of the
previous request, which may or may not be the same as that of the
current request. If it isn't, the wrong hardware queue will end up
waiting for a tag, and the requests will be on the wrong dispatch list,
leading to a hang.

The fix is twofold:

1. Make sure we save which hardware queue we were trying to get a
   request for in blk_mq_get_driver_tag() regardless of whether it
   succeeds or not.
2. Make blk_mq_dispatch_rq_list() take a request_queue instead of a
   blk_mq_hw_queue to make it clear that it must handle multiple
   hardware queues, since I've already messed this up on a couple of
   occasions.

This didn't appear in testing with nvme and mq-deadline because nvme has
more driver tags than the default number of scheduler tags. However,
with the blk_mq_update_nr_hw_queues() fix, it showed up with nbd.

6d2809d51a blk-mq: make blk_mq_alloc_request_hctx() allocate a scheduler request
blk_mq_alloc_request_hctx() allocates a driver request directly, unlike
its blk_mq_alloc_request() counterpart. It also crashes because it
doesn't update the tags->rqs map.

Fix it by making it allocate a scheduler request.

d38d351555 blk-mq-sched: separate mark hctx and queue restart operations
In blk_mq_sched_dispatch_requests(), we call blk_mq_sched_mark_restart()
after we dispatch requests left over on our hardware queue dispatch
list. This is so we'll go back and dispatch requests from the scheduler.
In this case, it's only necessary to restart the hardware queue that we
are running; there's no reason to run other hardware queues just because
we are using shared tags.

So, split out blk_mq_sched_mark_restart() into two operations, one for
just the hardware queue and one for the whole request queue. The core
code only needs the hctx variant, but I/O schedulers will want to use
both.

This also requires adjusting blk_mq_sched_restart_queues() to always
check the queue restart flag, not just when using shared tags.

Usually we don't ask the scheduler for work, if we already have
leftovers on the dispatch list. This is done to leave work on
the scheduler side for as long as possible, for proper merging.
But if we do have work leftover but didn't dispatch anything,
then we should ask the scheduler since we could potentially
issue requests from that.

e4d750c977 block: free merged request in the caller
If we end up doing a request-to-request merge when we have completed
a bio-to-request merge, we free the request from deep down in that
path. For blk-mq-sched, the merge path has to hold the appropriate
lock, but we don't need it for freeing the request. And in fact
holding the lock is problematic, since we are now calling the
mq sched put_rq_private() hook with the lock held. Other call paths
do not hold this lock.

Fix this inconsistency by ensuring that the caller frees a merged
request. Then we can do it outside of the lock, making it both more
efficient and fixing the blk-mq-sched problem of invoking parts of
the scheduler with an unknown lock state.

c13660a08c blk-mq-sched: change ->dispatch_requests() to ->dispatch_request()
When we invoke dispatch_requests(), the scheduler empties everything
into the passed in list. This isn't always a good thing, since it
means that we remove items that we could have potentially merged
with.

Change the function to dispatch single requests at the time. If
we do that, we can backoff exactly at the point where the device
can't consume more IO, and leave the rest with the scheduler for
better merging and future dispatch decision making.

50e1dab86a blk-mq-sched: fix starvation for multiple hardware queues and shared tags
If we have both multiple hardware queues and shared tag map between
devices, we need to ensure that we propagate the hardware queue
restart bit higher up. This is because we can get into a situation
where we don't have any IO pending on a hardware queue, yet we fail
getting a tag to start new IO. If that happens, it's not enough to
mark the hardware queue as needing a restart, we need to bubble
that up to the higher level queue as well.

We reuse the existing elevator scheduler API on the registration

the blk-mq interfce, and with a separate set of ops hooks for MQ
devices.

We split driver and scheduler tags, so we can run the scheduling
independently of device queue depth.
