Depending on the topology of the machine and the number of queues exposed by a device, we can end up in a situation where some of the hardware queues are unused (as in, they don't map to any software queues). For this case, free up the memory used by the request map, as we will not use it. This can be a substantial amount of memory, depending on the number of queues vs CPUs and the queue depth of the device. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@fb.com>

For request_fn based devices, the block layer exports a 'nr_requests' file through sysfs to allow adjusting of queue depth on the fly. Currently this returns -EINVAL for blk-mq, since it's not wired up. Wire this up for blk-mq, so that it now also always dynamic adjustments of the allowed queue depth for any given block device managed by blk-mq. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@fb.com>

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 about 15% performanc increase on multiple threads driving the same device.

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.

We first check if we have inflight IO, then retrieve that same number again. Usually this isn't that costly since the chance of having the data dirtied in between is small, but there's no reason for calling part_in_flight() twice. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@fb.com>

For best performance, spreading tags over multiple cachelines makes the tagging more efficient on multicore systems. But since we have 8 * sizeof(unsigned long) tags per cacheline, we don't always get a nice spread. Attempt to spread the tags over at least 4 cachelines, using fewer number of bits per unsigned long if we have to. This improves tagging performance in setups with 32-128 tags. For higher depths, the spread is the same as before (BITS_PER_LONG tags per cacheline). Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@fb.com>

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.

blk_mq_wait_for_tags() is only able to wait for "normal" tags, not reserved tags. Pass in which one we should attempt to get a tag for, so that waiting for reserved tags will work. Reserved tags are used for internal commands, which are usually serialized. Hence no waiting generally takes place, but we should ensure that it actually works if users need that functionality.

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.

If a requeue event races with a timeout, we can get into the situation where we attempt to complete a request from the timeout handler when it's not start anymore. This causes a crash. So have the timeout handler check that REQ_ATOM_STARTED is still set on the request - if not, we ignore the event. If this happens, the request has now been marked as complete. As a consequence, we need to ensure to clear REQ_ATOM_COMPLETE in blk_mq_start_request(), as to maintain proper request state. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@fb.com>

This reverts commit 6a3c8a3a. We need selective clearing of the request to make the init-at-free time completely safe. Otherwise we end up stomping on rq->atomic_flags, which we don't want to do.
