      blk-mq: fallback to previous nr_hw_queues when updating fails · e01ad46d
      Jianchao Wang authored 
      When we try to increate the nr_hw_queues, we may fail due to
shortage of memory or other reason, then blk_mq_realloc_hw_ctxs stops
and some entries in q->queue_hw_ctx are left with NULL. However,
because queue map has been updated with new nr_hw_queues, some cpus
have been mapped to hw queue which just encounters allocation failure,
thus blk_mq_map_queue could return NULL. This will cause panic in
following blk_mq_map_swqueue.

To fix it, when increase nr_hw_queues fails, fallback to previous
nr_hw_queues and post warning. At the same time, driver's .map_queues
usually use completion irq affinity to map hw and cpu, fallback
nr_hw_queues will cause lack of some cpu's map to hw, so use default
blk_mq_map_queues to do that.

      blk-mq: realloc hctx when hw queue is mapped to another node · 34d11ffa
      Jianchao Wang authored 
      When the hw queues and mq_map are updated, a hctx could be mapped
to a different numa node. At this moment, we need to realloc the
hctx. If fail to do that, go on using previous hctx.

      blk-mq: change gfp flags to GFP_NOIO in blk_mq_realloc_hw_ctxs · 5b202853
      Jianchao Wang authored 
      blk_mq_realloc_hw_ctxs could be invoked during update hw queues.
At the momemt, IO is blocked. Change the gfp flags from GFP_KERNEL
to GFP_NOIO to avoid forever hang during memory allocation in
blk_mq_realloc_hw_ctxs.

      blk-mq: adjust debugfs and sysfs register when updating nr_hw_queues · 477e19de
      Jianchao Wang authored 
      blk-mq debugfs and sysfs entries need to be removed before updating
queue map, otherwise, we get get wrong result there. This patch fixes
it and remove the redundant debugfs and sysfs register/unregister
operations during __blk_mq_update_nr_hw_queues.

      block, bfq: improve asymmetric scenarios detection · 2d29c9f8
      Federico Motta authored 
      bfq defines as asymmetric a scenario where an active entity, say E
(representing either a single bfq_queue or a group of other entities),
has a higher weight than some other entities.  If the entity E does sync
I/O in such a scenario, then bfq plugs the dispatch of the I/O of the
other entities in the following situation: E is in service but
temporarily has no pending I/O request.  In fact, without this plugging,
all the times that E stops being temporarily idle, it may find the
internal queues of the storage device already filled with an
out-of-control number of extra requests, from other entities. So E may
have to wait for the service of these extra requests, before finally
having its own requests served. This may easily break service
guarantees, with E getting less than its fair share of the device
throughput.  Usually, the end result is that E gets the same fraction of
the throughput as the other entities, instead of getting more, according
to its higher weight.

Yet there are two other more subtle cases where E, even if its weight is
actually equal to or even lower than the weight of any other active
entities, may get less than its fair share of the throughput in case the
above I/O plugging is not performed:
1. other entities issue larger requests than E;
2. other entities contain more active child entities than E (or in
   general tend to have more backlog than E).

In the first case, other entities may get more service than E because
they get larger requests, than those of E, served during the temporary
idle periods of E.  In the second case, other entities get more service
because, by having many child entities, they have many requests ready
for dispatching while E is temporarily idle.

This commit addresses this issue by extending the definition of
asymmetric scenario: a scenario is asymmetric when
- active entities representing bfq_queues have differentiated weights,
  as in the original definition
or (inclusive)
- one or more entities representing groups of entities are active.

This broader definition makes sure that I/O plugging will be performed
in all the above cases, provided that there is at least one active
group.  Of course, this definition is very coarse, so it will trigger
I/O plugging also in cases where it is not needed, such as, e.g.,
multiple active entities with just one child each, and all with the same
I/O-request size.  The reason for this coarse definition is just that a
finer-grained definition would be rather heavy to compute.

On the opposite end, even this new definition does not trigger I/O
plugging in all cases where there is no active group, and all bfq_queues
have the same weight.  So, in these cases some unfairness may occur if
there are asymmetries in I/O-request sizes.  We made this choice because
I/O plugging may lower throughput, and probably a user that has not
created any group cares more about throughput than about perfect
fairness.  At any rate, as for possible applications that may care about
service guarantees, bfq already guarantees a high responsiveness and a
low latency to soft real-time applications automatically.
