[PATCH 0/5] Improve blk-mq performance

[PATCH 0/5] Improve blk-mq performance

[Bart Van Assche]

Hello Jens,

The blk-mq timeout handling rework that went upstream during the v4.18
development cycle introduced a performance regression due to the atomic
instructions that were added in the hot path. This patch series improves
blk-mq performance by reducing the number of atomic instructions in the
hot path. This patch series introduces the number of IOPS reported by the
following test with 15% (fifteen per cent) on an x86_64 system:

#!/bin/bash

if [ -e /sys/kernel/config/nullb ]; then
    for d in /sys/kernel/config/nullb/*; do
        [ -d "$d" ] && rmdir "$d"
    done
fi
modprobe -r null_blk
[ -e /sys/module/null_blk ] && exit $?
modprobe null_blk nr_devices=0 &&
    udevadm settle &&
    cd /sys/kernel/config/nullb &&
    mkdir nullb0 &&
    cd nullb0 &&
    echo 0 > completion_nsec &&
    echo 4096 > blocksize &&
    echo 0 > home_node &&
    echo 1024 > size &&
    echo 0 > memory_backed &&
    echo 1 > power ||
    exit $?

(
    cd /sys/block/nullb0/queue &&
	echo 2 > rq_affinity
) || exit $?

[PATCH 1/5] blk-mq: Rename BLK_EH_DONE into BLK_EH_DONT_RESET_TIMER

[Bart Van Assche]

If a block driver timeout handler returns BLK_EH_DONE that means
either that the request has been completed or that the block driver
still owns the request. Since the name BLK_EH_DONE is misleading,
change it into BLK_EH_DONT_RESET_TIMER.

Fixes: 88b0cfad2888 ("block: document the blk_eh_timer_return values")
Fixes: 6600593cbd93 ("block: rename BLK_EH_NOT_HANDLED to BLK_EH_DONE")

[PATCH 2/5] block: Remove a superfluous #include directive

[Bart Van Assche]

Commit 12f5b9314545 ("blk-mq: Remove generation seqeunce") removed the
only u64_stats_sync instance from <linux/blkdev.h> but did not remove
the corresponding #include directive. Since the #include directive is
no longer needed, remove it.

[PATCH 3/5] block: Split blk_add_timer()

[Bart Van Assche]

Split blk_add_timer() as follows:
- Introduce the helper function __blk_add_timer() that performs the
  tasks that apply both to the legacy block layer core and to blk-mq.
- Duplicate the remaining blk_add_timer() function into the new
  function blk_mq_add_timer().
- Change the blk_mq_timer() calls into blk_mq_add_timer() calls in
  blk-mq code.

This patch does not change any functionality.

Do you really need these checks for !q->mq_ops?

Hello Keith,

Have you noticed that patch 4/5 removes that check?

Thanks,

[PATCH 4/5] block: Simplify blk_add_timer() and blk_mq_add_timer()

[Bart Van Assche]

Use the fact that q->mq_ops == NULL for the legacy block layer and
also that q->mq_ops != NULL for blk-mq to simplify blk_add_timer and
blk_mq_add_timer(). This patch does not change any functionality.

[PATCH 5/5] blk-mq: Rework blk-mq timeout handling again

[Bart Van Assche]

Recently the blk-mq timeout handling code was reworked to avoid that
completions that occur while a timeout handler is in progress get
ignored. However, that rework removed the protection against completions
that occur while a timeout handler is in progress. Fix this by
introducing a new request state, namely MQ_RQ_TIMED_OUT. This state
means that the timeout handler is in progress.

Other changes in this patch are:
- Reintroduce the request generation number to avoid that request
  timeout handling happens after a request has already completed.
- Reintroduce deadline_seq to make reads and updates of the request
  deadline possible without having to use atomic instructions.
- Remove the request state information that became superfluous due to
  this patch, namely the RQF_TIMED_OUT flag and the ref member.
- Atomic instructions are only used to update the request state if
  a concurrent request state change could be in progress.
- Move the code for managing the request state back from the SCSI
  core into the block layer core.

This patch reverts the following two commits:
* 0fc09f920983 ("blk-mq: export setting request completion state")
* 065990bd198e ("scsi: set timed out out mq requests to complete")

The new approach for handling completions that occur while the .timeout()
callback in progress is as follows:
* blk_mq_complete_request() executes the following code:
       if (blk_mq_change_rq_state(rq, MQ_RQ_TIMED=
F8-OUT, MQ_RQ_COMPLETE))
               return;
* blk_mq_rq_timed_out() executes the following code:
       if (blk_mq_rq_state(req) == MQ_RQ_COMPLETE=
) {
               __blk_mq_complete_request(req);
               return;
       }

As one can see __blk_mq_complete_request() gets called if=
 this race occurs.

You skip that code if the driver returns BLK_EH_DONT_RESET_TIMER.

That works for me if you, but it breaks scsi again when
scmd_eh_abort_handler completes the command a second time.

How about introducing a new request queue flag that chooses between the
behavior with or without the patch in my previous e-mail? I don't think tha=
t
it is possible to come up with a single implementation that covers the need=
s
of NVMe and SCSI without introducing such a flag. If a SCSI request times o=
ut
then request ownership is transferred from the LLD to the error handler. Fo=
r
the NVMe driver however there is no such transfer of ownership.

Instead of PATCH 1/5, how about creating a new timeout return code like
"BLK_EH_DONT_COMPLETE"?

That sounds like a good idea to me. I think this approach will avoid that w=
e
have to introduce a request queue flag that chooses between the behavior
needed by the NVMe driver or the behavior needed by the SCSI core.

This is a typo - I meant "improves".
