[PATCHv9 0/8] dm-multipath: push back requests instead of queueing

[Hannes Reinecke]

Hi Mike,

here's version 9 of the patchset which might just be the
final one. I've included the remaining issue Jun'ichi pointed
out, and added the respective 'reviewed-by' tags where missing.

Hannes Reinecke (6):
  dm mpath: do not call pg_init when it is already running
  dm mpath: push back requests instead of queueing
  dm mpath: remove process_queued_ios()
  dm mpath: reduce memory pressure when requeuing
  dm mpath: remove map_io()
  dm-mpath: do not activate failed paths

Mike Snitzer (2):
  dm table: add dm_table_run_md_queue_async
  dm mpath: remove extra nesting in map function

[PATCH 1/8] dm mpath: do not call pg_init when it is already running

[Hannes Reinecke]

This patch moves condition checks as a preparation of following
patches and has no effect on behaviour.
process_queued_ios() is the only caller of __pg_init_all_paths()
and 2 condition checks are moved from outside to inside without
side effects.

[PATCH 2/8] dm table: add dm_table_run_md_queue_async

[Hannes Reinecke]

From: Mike Snitzer <snitzer@redhat.com>

Introduce dm_table_run_md_queue_async() to run the request_queue of the
mapped_device associated with a request-based DM table.

Also add dm_md_get_queue() wrapper to extract the request_queue from a
mapped_device.

[PATCH 3/8] dm mpath: push back requests instead of queueing

[Hannes Reinecke]

There is no reason why multipath needs to queue requests internally for
queue_if_no_path or pg_init; we should rather push them back onto the
request queue.

And while we're at it we can simplify the conditional statement in
map_io() to make it easier to read.

Since mpath no longer does internal queuing of I/O the table info no
longer emits the internal queue_size.  Instead it displays 1 if queuing
is being used or 0 if it is not.

[PATCH 4/8] dm mpath: remove process_queued_ios()

[Hannes Reinecke]

process_queued_ios() has served 3 functions:
  1) select pg and pgpath if none is selected
  2) start pg_init if requested
  3) dispatch queued IOs when pg is ready

Basically, a call to queue_work(process_queued_ios) can be replaced by
dm_table_run_md_queue_async(), which runs request queue and ends up
calling map_io(), which does 1), 2) and 3).

Exception is when !pg_ready() (which means either pg_init is running or
requested), then multipath_busy() prevents map_io() being called from
request_fn.

If pg_init is running, it should be ok as long as pg_init_done() does
the right thing when pg_init is completed, I.e.: restart pg_init if
!pg_ready() or call dm_table_run_md_queue_async() to kick map_io().

If pg_init is requested, we have to make sure the request is detected
and pg_init will be started.  pg_init is requested in 3 places:
  a) __choose_pgpath() in map_io()
  b) __choose_pgpath() in multipath_ioctl()
  c) pg_init retry in pg_init_done()
a) is ok because map_io() calls __pg_init_all_paths(), which does 2).
b) needs a call to __pg_init_all_paths(), which does 2).
c) needs a call to __pg_init_all_paths(), which does 2).

So this patch removes process_queued_ios() and ensures that
__pg_init_all_paths() is called at the appropriate locations.

Hi Hannes,

If m->pg_init_required && !m->current_pg,
doesn't m->queue_io remain 1 while nobody kicks pg_init?

That's why I suggested this:

	if (m->pg_init_required) {
		m->pg_init_delay_retry = delay_retry;
		if (__pg_init_all_paths(m))
			goto out;
	}
	m->queue_io = 0;

Yeah, sorry. You are right.

Mike, can you fix it up or do you need an additional round of patches?

I'll take care of it.  I won't be looking at these patches until next

[PATCH 5/8] dm mpath: reduce memory pressure when requeuing

[Hannes Reinecke]

When multipath needs to requeue I/O in the block layer the per-request
context shouldn't be allocated, as it will be freed immediately
afterwards anyway.  Avoiding this memory allocation will reduce memory
pressure during requeuing.

From: Mike Snitzer <snitzer@redhat.com>

Return early for case when no path exists, and when the
pathgroup isn't ready. This eliminates the need for
extra nesting for the the common case.

[PATCH 8/8] dm-mpath: do not activate failed paths

[Hannes Reinecke]

activate_path() is run without a lock, so the path might be
set to failed before activate_path() had a chance to run.
This patch add a check for ->active in activate_path() to
avoid unnecessary overhead by calling functions which are known
to be failing.

I've picked these patches up.  They are now queued for 3.15 and in
linux-dm.git's 'for-next' branch.

I'll likely rebase linux-dm.git to 3.14 once it is released but aside
from commit id churn there won't be any other changes to this series
(unless linux-next turns something up).

Thanks for sorting this area of mpath out and sticking with this
patchset for so many review iterations.

here's now version 8 of the patchset; after testing I found that
the contentious delay when queueing items to a workqueue is in
fact not required. So with that I seem to have addressed all
outstanding issues.

  dm mpath: push back requests instead of queueing
  dm mpath: remove process_queued_ios()
  dm mpath: reduce memory pressure when requeuing

  dm-mpath: do not activate failed paths

[PATCH 1/8] dm mpath: do not call pg_init when it is already running

[Hannes Reinecke]

This patch moves condition checks as a preparation of following
patches and has no effect on behaviour.
process_queued_ios() is the only caller of __pg_init_all_paths()
and 2 condition checks are moved from outside to inside without
side effects.
