nvmf_connect_io_queue() is used in this way by asking blk-mq to allocate
request from one specific hw queue, but there may not be all online CPUs
mapped to this hw queue.

And the following patchset may fail this kind of allocation and avoid

Thanks Ming,

But I don't want to fail the allocation, nvmf_connect_io_queue simply
needs a tag to issue the connect request, I much rather to take this
tag from an online cpu than failing it... We use this because we reserve
a tag per-queue for this, but in this case, I'd rather block until the

Thanks Ming,

But I don't want to fail the allocation, nvmf_connect_io_queue simply
needs a tag to issue the connect request, I much rather to take this
tag from an online cpu than failing it... We use this because we reserve
a tag per-queue for this, but in this case, I'd rather block until the
inflight tag complete than failing the connect.

The failure is only triggered when there isn't any online CPU mapped to
this hctx, so do you want to wait for CPUs for this hctx becoming online?

Or I may understand you wrong, :-)

No, there can't be any inflight request for this hctx.

I was thinking of allocating a tag from that hctx even if it had no
online cpu, the execution is done on an online cpu (hence the call
to blk_mq_alloc_request_hctx).

> Or I may understand you wrong, :-)

In the report we connected 40 hctxs (which was exactly the number of
online cpus), after Yi removed 3 cpus, we tried to connect 37 hctxs.
I'm not sure why some hctxs are left without any online cpus.

This seems to be related to the queue mapping.

Lets say I have 4-cpu system and my device always allocates
num_online_cpus() hctxs.

at first I get:
cpu0 -> hctx0
cpu1 -> hctx1
cpu2 -> hctx2
cpu3 -> hctx3

When cpu1 goes offline I think the new mapping will be:
cpu0 -> hctx0
cpu1 -> hctx0 (from cpu_to_queue_index) // offline
cpu2 -> hctx2
cpu3 -> hctx0 (from cpu_to_queue_index)

This means that now hctx1 is unmapped. I guess we can fix nvmf code
to not connect it. But we end up with less queues than cpus without
any good reason.

I would have optimally want a different mapping that will use all
the queues:
cpu0 -> hctx0
cpu2 -> hctx1
cpu3 -> hctx2
* cpu1 -> hctx1 (doesn't matter, offline)

Something looks broken...

That can be done, but not following the current blk-mq's rule, because
blk-mq requires to dispatch the request on CPUs mapping to this hctx.

Could you explain a bit why you want to do in this way?

That is possible after the following two commits:

4b855ad37194 ("blk-mq: Create hctx for each present CPU)
20e4d8139319 (blk-mq: simplify queue mapping & schedule with each possisble CPU)

And this can be triggered even without putting down any CPUs.

The blk-mq CPU hotplug handler is removed in 4b855ad37194, and we can't
remap queue any more when CPU topo is changed, so the static & fixed mapping
has to be setup from the beginning.

Then if there are less enough online CPUs compared with number of hw queues,
some of hctxes can be mapped with all offline CPUs. For example, if one device
has 4 hw queues, but there are only 2 online CPUs and 6 offline CPUs, at most
2 hw queues are assigned to online CPUs, and the other two are all with offline
CPUs.

No, it isn't broken.

Storage is client/server model, the hw queue should be only active if
there is request coming from client(CPU), and the hw queue becomes
inactive if no online CPU is mapped to it.

That is why the normal rule is that request allocation needs CPU context
info, then the hctx is obtained via the queue mapping.

That can be done, but not following the current blk-mq's rule, because
blk-mq requires to dispatch the request on CPUs mapping to this hctx.

Could you explain a bit why you want to do in this way?

That is possible after the following two commits:

4b855ad37194 ("blk-mq: Create hctx for each present CPU)
20e4d8139319 (blk-mq: simplify queue mapping & schedule with each possisble CPU)

And this can be triggered even without putting down any CPUs.

The blk-mq CPU hotplug handler is removed in 4b855ad37194, and we can't
remap queue any more when CPU topo is changed, so the static & fixed mapping
has to be setup from the beginning.

Then if there are less enough online CPUs compared with number of hw queues,
some of hctxes can be mapped with all offline CPUs. For example, if one device
has 4 hw queues, but there are only 2 online CPUs and 6 offline CPUs, at most
2 hw queues are assigned to online CPUs, and the other two are all with offline
CPUs.

No, it isn't broken.

Storage is client/server model, the hw queue should be only active if
there is request coming from client(CPU), and the hw queue becomes
inactive if no online CPU is mapped to it.

That is why the normal rule is that request allocation needs CPU context
info, then the hctx is obtained via the queue mapping.

My device exposes nr_hw_queues which is not higher than num_online_cpus
so I want to connect all hctxs with hope that they will be used.

I agree we don't want to connect hctx which doesn't have an online
cpu, that's redundant, but this is not the case here.

That is fine, but the problem that I gave in the example below which has 
nr_hw_queues == num_online_cpus but because of the mapping, we still
have unmapped hctxs.

Correct.

> and the hw queue becomes inactive if no online CPU is mapped to it.

But when we reset the controller, we call blk_mq_update_nr_hw_queues()
with the current number of nr_hw_queues which never exceeds
num_online_cpus. This in turn, remaps the mq_map which results
in unmapped queues because of the mapping function, not because we
have more hctx than online cpus...

An easy fix, is to allocate num_present_cpus queues, and only connect
the oneline ones, but as you said, we have unused resources this way.

We also have an issue with blk_mq_rdma_map_queues with the only
device that supports it because it doesn't use managed affinity (code
was reverted) and can have irq affinity redirected in case of cpu
offlining...

The goal here I think, should be to allocate just enough queues (not
more than the number online cpus) and spread it 1x1 with online cpus,
and also make sure to allocate completion vectors that align to online
cpus. I just need to figure out how to do that...

The issue is that CPU online & offline can happen any time, and after
blk-mq removes CPU hotplug handler, there is no way to remap queue
when CPU topo is changed.

For example:

1) after nr_hw_queues is set as num_online_cpus() and hw queues
are initialized, then some of CPUs become offline, and the issue
reported by Zhang Yi is triggered, but in this case, we should fail
the allocation since 1:1 mapping doesn't need to use this inactive
hw queue.

2) when nr_hw_queues is set as num_online_cpus(), there may be
much less online CPUs, so the hw queue number can be initialized as
much smaller, then performance is degraded much even if some CPUs
become online later.

So the current policy is to map all possible CPUs for handing CPU
hotplug, and if you want to get 1:1 mapping between hw queue and
online CPU, the nr_hw_queues can be set as num_possible_cpus.

Please see commit 16ccfff28976130 (nvme: pci: pass max vectors as
num_possible_cpus() to pci_alloc_irq_vectors).

It will waste some memory resource just like percpu variable, but it
simplifies the queue mapping logic a lot, and can support both hard
and soft CPU online/offline without CPU hotplug handler, which may
cause very complicated queue dependency issue.

OK, I will explain below, and it can be fixed by the following patch too:

For FC's case, there may be some hctxs not 'mapped', which is caused by
blk_mq_map_queues(), but that should one bug.

So the patch(blk-mq: don't keep offline CPUs mapped to hctx 0)[1] is
fixing the issue:
	
[1]	https://marc.info/?l=linux-block&m=152318093725257&w=2

Once this patch is in, any hctx should be mapped by at least one CPU.

Then later, the patch(blk-mq: reimplement blk_mq_hw_queue_mapped)[2]
extends the mapping concept, maybe it should have been renamed as
blk_mq_hw_queue_active(), will do it in V2.

As I mentioned, num_online_cpus() isn't one stable variable, and it
can change any time.

After patch(blk-mq: don't keep offline CPUs mapped to hctx 0) is in,
there won't be unmapped queue any more.

Yeah, it should be num_possible_cpus queues because physical CPU hotplug
is needed to be supported for KVM or S390, or even some X86_64 system.

That can be one corner case, looks I have to re-consider the patch
(blk-mq: remove code for dealing with remapping queue), which may cause
regression for this RDMA case, but I guess CPU hotplug may break this
case easily.

[3] https://marc.info/?l=linux-block&m=152318100625284&w=2

Also this case will make blk-mq's queue mapping much complicated,
could you provide one link about the reason for reverting managed affinity
on this device?

Recently we fix quite a few issues on managed affinity, maybe the
original issue for RDMA affinity has been addressed already.

I think we have to support CPU hotplug, so your goal may be hard to
reach if you don't want to waste memory resource.

The issue is that CPU online & offline can happen any time, and after
blk-mq removes CPU hotplug handler, there is no way to remap queue
when CPU topo is changed.

For example:

1) after nr_hw_queues is set as num_online_cpus() and hw queues
are initialized, then some of CPUs become offline, and the issue
reported by Zhang Yi is triggered, but in this case, we should fail
the allocation since 1:1 mapping doesn't need to use this inactive
hw queue.

2) when nr_hw_queues is set as num_online_cpus(), there may be
much less online CPUs, so the hw queue number can be initialized as
much smaller, then performance is degraded much even if some CPUs
become online later.

So the current policy is to map all possible CPUs for handing CPU
hotplug, and if you want to get 1:1 mapping between hw queue and
online CPU, the nr_hw_queues can be set as num_possible_cpus.

Please see commit 16ccfff28976130 (nvme: pci: pass max vectors as
num_possible_cpus() to pci_alloc_irq_vectors).

It will waste some memory resource just like percpu variable, but it
simplifies the queue mapping logic a lot, and can support both hard
and soft CPU online/offline without CPU hotplug handler, which may
cause very complicated queue dependency issue.

Normal cpu offlining is fine, as the hctxs are already connected. When
we reset the controller and re-establish the queues, the issue triggers
because we call blk_mq_alloc_request_hctx.

The question is, for this particular issue, given that the request
execution is guaranteed to run from an online cpu, will the below work?

That is correct, when the controller will be reset though, more queues
will be added to the system. I agree it would be good if we can change
stuff dynamically.

Having nr_hw_queues == num_possible_cpus cannot work as it requires
establishing an RDMA queue-pair with a set of HW resources both on
the host side _and_ on the controller side, which are idle.

> Please see commit 16ccfff28976130 (nvme: pci: pass max vectors as

Yes, I am aware of this patch, however I not sure it'll be a good idea
for nvmf as it takes resources from both the host and the target for
for cpus that may never come online...

Yes, but these some memory resources are becoming an issue when it
takes HW (RDMA) resources on the local device and on the target device.

Correct, but I'm afraid num_possible_cpus might not work either.

Yes.

num_present_cpus is a waste of resources (as I said, both on the host
and on the target), but num_possible_cpus is even worse as this is
all cpus that _can_ be populated.

The problem was that users reported a regression because now
/proc/irp/$IRQ/smp_affinity is immutable. Looks like netdev users do
this on a regular basis (and also rely on irq_banacer at times) while
nvme users (and other HBAs) do not care about it.

That is not specific to RDMA affinity, its because RDMA devices are
also network devices and people want to apply their irq affinity
scripts on it like their used to with other devices.

Well, not so much if I make blk_mq_rdma_map_queues do the right thing?

As I said, for the first go, I'd like to fix the mapping for the simple
case where we map the queues with some cpus offlined. Having queues
being added dynamically is a different story and I agree would require
more work.

That is correct, when the controller will be reset though, more queues
will be added to the system. I agree it would be good if we can change
stuff dynamically.

Having nr_hw_queues == num_possible_cpus cannot work as it requires
establishing an RDMA queue-pair with a set of HW resources both on
the host side _and_ on the controller side, which are idle.

Yes, I am aware of this patch, however I not sure it'll be a good idea
for nvmf as it takes resources from both the host and the target for
for cpus that may never come online...

Yes, but these some memory resources are becoming an issue when it
takes HW (RDMA) resources on the local device and on the target device.

This is also a good patch.

Correct, but I'm afraid num_possible_cpus might not work either.

Yes.

num_present_cpus is a waste of resources (as I said, both on the host
and on the target), but num_possible_cpus is even worse as this is
all cpus that _can_ be populated.

The problem was that users reported a regression because now
/proc/irp/$IRQ/smp_affinity is immutable. Looks like netdev users do
this on a regular basis (and also rely on irq_banacer at times) while
nvme users (and other HBAs) do not care about it.

Thread starts here:

That is not specific to RDMA affinity, its because RDMA devices are
also network devices and people want to apply their irq affinity
scripts on it like their used to with other devices.

Well, not so much if I make blk_mq_rdma_map_queues do the right thing?

As I said, for the first go, I'd like to fix the mapping for the simple
case where we map the queues with some cpus offlined. Having queues
being added dynamically is a different story and I agree would require
more work.

And this issue cannot be reproduced on 4.15.
So I did bisect testing today, found it was introduced from bellow commit:

That is right, blk_mq_alloc_request_hctx() is one insane interface.

Also could you share a bit why the request has to be allocated in
this way?

I may have to read the NVMe connect protocol and related code for
understanding this mechanism.

We may do this way for the special case, but it is ugly, IMO.

OK, can I understand it just because there isn't so many hw resources?

Maybe both host & target resource can be allocated until there is any
CPU coming for this hctx in host side. But CPU hotplug handler has to
be re-introduced, maybe callback of .hctx_activate or .hctx_deactivate
can be added for allocating/releasing these resources in CPU hotplug
path. Since queue mapping won't be changed, and queue freezing may be
avoided, it should be fine.

Yes, that can be one direction for improving queue mapping.

OK, got it, then seems RDMA can't use managed IRQ affinity any more,
and it has to be treated a bit special now.

It may not be a simple case, since Zhang Yi is running CPU hotplug stress
test with NVMe disconnection & connection meantime.

We may do this way for the special case, but it is ugly, IMO.

OK, can I understand it just because there isn't so many hw resources?

Maybe both host & target resource can be allocated until there is any
CPU coming for this hctx in host side. But CPU hotplug handler has to
be re-introduced, maybe callback of .hctx_activate or .hctx_deactivate
can be added for allocating/releasing these resources in CPU hotplug
path. Since queue mapping won't be changed, and queue freezing may be
avoided, it should be fine.

Yes, that can be one direction for improving queue mapping.

OK, got it, then seems RDMA can't use managed IRQ affinity any more,
and it has to be treated a bit special now.

It may not be a simple case, since Zhang Yi is running CPU hotplug stress
test with NVMe disconnection & connection meantime.
