Normally, sd_read_capacity sets sdp->use_16_for_rw to 1 based on the disk capacity so that READ16/WRITE16 are used for large drives. However, for a zoned disk with RC_BASIS set to 0, the capacity reported through READ_CAPACITY may be very small, leading to use_16_for_rw not being set and READ10/WRITE10 commands being used, even after the actual zoned disk capacity is corrected in sd_zbc_read_zones. This causes LBA offset overflow for accesses beyond 2TB. As the ZBC standard makes it mandatory for ZBC drives to support the READ16/WRITE16 commands anyway, make sure that use_16_for_rw is set.

A previous commit changed this to pass in the hardware queue, but it was using the wrong hardware queue. Hence a request that was allocated on one hardware queue ended up being issued on another one, and that caused IO timeouts and oopses on some drivers. Since the request holds hardware queue private resources, like a tag, we can't just issue it on a different hardware queue.

Enable throttling of buffered writeback to make it a lot more smooth, and has way less impact on other system activity. Background writeback should be, by definition, background activity. The fact that we flush huge bundles of it at the time means that it potentially has heavy impacts on foreground workloads, which isn't ideal. We can't easily limit the sizes of writes that we do, since that would impact file system layout in the presence of delayed allocation. So just throttle back buffered writeback, unless someone is waiting for it. The algorithm for when to throttle takes its inspiration in the CoDel networking scheduling algorithm. Like CoDel, blk-wb monitors the minimum latencies of requests over a window of time. In that window of time, if the minimum latency of any request exceeds a given target, then a scale count is incremented and the queue depth is shrunk. The next monitoring window is shrunk accordingly. Unlike CoDel, if we hit a window that exhibits good behavior, then we simply increment the scale count and re-calculate the limits for that scale value. This prevents us from oscillating between a close-to-ideal value and max all the time, instead remaining in the windows where we get good behavior. Unlike CoDel, blk-wb allows the scale count to to negative. This happens if we primarily have writes going on. Unlike positive scale counts, this doesn't change the size of the monitoring window. When the heavy writers finish, blk-bw quickly snaps back to it's stable state of a zero scale count. The patch registers a sysfs entry, 'wb_lat_usec'. This sets the latency target to me met. It defaults to 2 msec for non-rotational storage, and 75 msec for rotational storage. Setting this value to '0' disables blk-wb. Generally, a user would not have to touch this setting. We don't enable WBT on devices that are managed with CFQ, and have a non-root block cgroup attached. If we have a proportional share setup on this particular disk, then the wbt throttling will interfere with that. We don't have a strong need for wbt for that case, since we will rely on CFQ doing that for us. Signed-off-by: -

We can hook this up to the block layer, to help throttle buffered writes. wbt registers a few trace points that can be used to track what is happening in the system: wbt_lat: 259:0: latency 2446318 wbt_stat: 259:0: rmean=2446318, rmin=2446318, rmax=2446318, rsamples=1, wmean=518866, wmin=15522, wmax=5330353, wsamples=57 wbt_step: 259:0: step down: step=1, window=72727272, background=8, normal=16, max=32 This shows a sync issue event (wbt_lat) that exceeded it's time. wbt_stat dumps the current read/write stats for that window, and wbt_step shows a step down event where we now scale back writes. Each trace includes the device, 259:0 in this case. Signed-off-by: -

For legacy block, we simply track them in the request queue. For blk-mq, we track them on a per-sw queue basis, which we can then sum up through the hardware queues and finally to a per device state. The stats are tracked in, roughly, 0.1s interval windows. Add sysfs files to display the stats. The feature is off by default, to avoid any extra overhead. In-kernel users of it can turn it on by setting QUEUE_FLAG_STATS in the queue flags. We currently don't turn it on if someone just reads any of the stats files, that is something we could add as well. Signed-off-by: -

This adds a shared per-request structure for all NVMe I/O. This structure is embedded as the first member in all NVMe transport drivers request private data and allows to implement common functionality between the drivers. The first use is to replace the current abuse of the SCSI command passthrough fields in struct request for the NVMe command passthrough, but it will grow a field more fields to allow implementing things like common abort handlers in the future. The passthrough commands are handled by having a pointer to the SQE (struct nvme_command) in struct nvme_request, and the union of the possible result fields, which had to be turned from an anonymous into a named union for that purpose. This avoids having to pass a reference to a full CQE around and thus makes checking the result a lot more lightweight. Signed-off-by:

If we insert a flush request, we clear REQ_PREFLUSH and/or REQ_FUA, depending on flush settings. Since op_is_sync() factors those flags in for deciding whether this request is sync or not, we should set REQ_SYNC to avoid screwing up this accounting. This should be less fragile. Reported-by:

Hi Peter, hi Jens, I've been looking over the multi page bio vec work again recently, and one of the stumbling blocks is raw biovec access in the pktcdvd. The first issue is that it directly sets up the page and offset pointers in the biovec just before calling bio_add_page. As bio_add_page already does the setup it's trivial to just switch it to stack variables for the arguments. The second issue is the copy code in pkt_make_local_copy, which effectively is an opencoded version of bio_copy_data except that it skips pages that already are the same in the ѕource and destination. But we look at the only calleer we just set up the bio using bio_add_page to point exactly to the page array that pkt_make_local_copy compares, so the pages will always be the same and we can just remove this function. Note that all this is done based on code inspection, I don't have any packet writing hardware myself. Signed-off-by:

Commit 0e87e58b ("blk-mq: improve warning for running a queue on the wrong CPU") attempts to avoid triggering the WARN_ON in __blk_mq_run_hw_queue when the expected CPU is dead. Problem is, in the last batch execution before round robin, blk_mq_hctx_next_cpu can schedule a dead CPU and also update next_cpu to the next alive CPU in the mask, which will trigger the WARN_ON despite the previous workaround. The following patch fixes this scenario by always scheduling the value in hctx->next_cpu. This changes the moment when we round-robin the CPU running the hctx, but it really doesn't matter, since it still executes BLK_MQ_CPU_WORK_BATCH times in a row before switching to another CPU.

For blk-mq, ->nr_requests does track queue depth, at least at init time. But for the older queue paths, it's simply a soft setting. On top of that, it's generally larger than the hardware setting on purpose, to allow backup of requests for merging. Fill a hole in struct request with a 'queue_depth' member, that drivers can call to more closely inform the block layer of the real queue depth. Signed-off-by:

Currently block plug holds up to 16 non-mergeable requests. This makes sense if the request size is small, eg, reduce lock contention. But if request size is big enough, we don't need to worry about lock contention. Holding such request makes no sense and it lows the disk utilization. In practice, this improves 10% throughput for my raid5 sequential write workload. The size (128k) is arbitrary right now, but it makes sure lock contention is small. This probably could be more intelligent, eg, check average request size holded. Since this is mainly for sequential IO, probably not worthy. V2: check the last request instead of the first request, so as long as there is one big size request we flush the plug. Signed-off-by:

Make nvme_requeue_req() check BLK_MQ_S_STOPPED instead of QUEUE_FLAG_STOPPED. Remove the QUEUE_FLAG_STOPPED manipulations that became superfluous because of this change. Change blk_queue_stopped() tests into blk_mq_queue_stopped().

Ensure that all ongoing dm_mq_queue_rq() and dm_mq_requeue_request() calls have stopped before setting the "queue stopped" flag. This allows to remove the "queue stopped" test from dm_mq_queue_rq() and dm_mq_requeue_request(). This patch fixes a race condition because dm_mq_queue_rq() is called without holding the queue lock and hence BLK_MQ_S_STOPPED can be set at any time while dm_mq_queue_rq() is in progress.

blk_mq_quiesce_queue() waits until ongoing .queue_rq() invocations have finished. This function does *not* wait until all outstanding requests have finished (this means invocation of request.end_io()). The algorithm used by blk_mq_quiesce_queue() is as follows: * Hold either an RCU read lock or an SRCU read lock around .queue_rq() calls. The former is used if .queue_rq() does not block and the latter if .queue_rq() may block. * blk_mq_quiesce_queue() first calls blk_mq_stop_hw_queues() followed by synchronize_srcu() or synchronize_rcu(). The latter call waits for .queue_rq() invocations that started before blk_mq_quiesce_queue() was called. * The blk_mq_hctx_stopped() calls that control whether or not .queue_rq() will be called are called with the (S)RCU read lock held. This is necessary to avoid race conditions against blk_mq_quiesce_queue(). Signed-off-by:

Since blk_mq_requeue_work() starts stopped queues and since execution of this function can be scheduled after a queue has been stopped it is not possible to stop queues without using an additional state variable to track whether or not the queue has been stopped. Hence modify blk_mq_requeue_work() such that it does not start stopped queues. My conclusion after a review of the blk_mq_stop_hw_queues() and blk_mq_{delay_,}kick_requeue_list() callers is as follows: * In the dm driver starting and stopping queues should only happen if __dm_suspend() or __dm_resume() is called and not if the requeue list is processed. * In the SCSI core queue stopping and starting should only be performed by the scsi_internal_device_block() and scsi_internal_device_unblock() functions but not by any other function. Although the blk_mq_stop_hw_queue() call in scsi_queue_rq() may help to reduce CPU load if a LLD queue is full, figuring out whether or not a queue should be restarted when requeueing a command would require to introduce additional locking in scsi_mq_requeue_cmd() to avoid a race with scsi_internal_device_block(). Avoid this complexity by removing the blk_mq_stop_hw_queue() call from scsi_queue_rq(). * In the NVMe core only the functions that call blk_mq_start_stopped_hw_queues() explicitly should start stopped queues. * A blk_mq_start_stopped_hwqueues() call must be added in the xen-blkfront driver in its blkif_recover() function.
