[PATCH v3 0/7] Elevator cleanups and improvements

[PATCH v3 0/7] Elevator cleanups and improvements

[Damien Le Moal]

This patch series implements some cleanup of the elevator initialization
code and introduces elevator features identification and device matching
to enhance checks for elevator/device compatibility and fitness.

The first 2 patches of the series are simple cleanups which simplify 
elevator initialization for newly allocated device queues.

Patch 3 introduce elevator features, allowing a clean and extensible
definition of devices and features that an elevator supports and match
these against features required by a block device. With this, the sysfs
elevator list for a device always shows only elevators matching the
features that a particular device requires, with the exception of the
none elevator which has no features but is always available for use
with any device.

The first feature defined is for zoned block device sequential write
constraint support through zone write locking which prevents the use of
any elevator that does not support this feature with zoned devices.

The last 4 patches of this series rework the default elevator selection
and initialization to allow for the elevator/device features matching
to work, doing so addressing cases not currently well supported, namely,
multi-queue zoned block devices.

Changes from v2:
* Fixed patch 4
* Call elevator_init_mq() earlier in device_add_disk() as suggested by
  Christoph (patch 5)
* Fixed title of patch 7

Changes from v1:
* Addressed Johannes comments
* Rebased on newest for-next branch to include Ming's sysfs lock changes

[PATCH v3 1/7] block: Cleanup elevator_init_mq() use

[Damien Le Moal]

Instead of checking a queue tag_set BLK_MQ_F_NO_SCHED flag before
calling elevator_init_mq() to make sure that the queue supports IO
scheduling, use the elevator.c function elv_support_iosched() in
elevator_init_mq(). This does not introduce any functional change but
ensure that elevator_init_mq() does the right thing based on the queue
settings.

[PATCH v3 2/7] block: Change elevator_init_mq() to always succeed

[Damien Le Moal]

If the default elevator chosen is mq-deadline, elevator_init_mq() may
return an error if mq-deadline initialization fails, leading to
blk_mq_init_allocated_queue() returning an error, which in turn will
cause the block device initialization to fail and the device not being
exposed.

Instead of taking such extreme measure, handle mq-deadline
initialization failures in the same manner as when mq-deadline is not
available (no module to load), that is, default to the "none" scheduler.
With this change, elevator_init_mq() return type can be changed to void.

[PATCH v3 3/7] block: Introduce elevator features

[Damien Le Moal]

Introduce the definition of elevator features through the
elevator_features flags in the elevator_type structure. Each flag can
represent a feature supported by an elevator. The first feature defined
by this patch is support for zoned block device sequential write
constraint with the flag ELEVATOR_F_ZBD_SEQ_WRITE, which is implemented
by the mq-deadline elevator using zone write locking.

Other possible features are IO priorities, write hints, latency targets
or single-LUN dual-actuator disks (for which the elevator could maintain
one LBA ordered list per actuator).

The required_elevator_features field is also added to the request_queue
structure to allow a device driver to specify elevator feature flags
that an elevator must support for the correct operation of the device
(e.g. device drivers for zoned block devices can have the
ELEVATOR_F_ZBD_SEQ_WRITE flag as a required feature).
The helper function blk_queue_required_elevator_features() is
defined for setting this new field.

With these two new fields in place, the elevator functions
elevator_match() and elevator_find() are modified to allow a user to set
only an elevator with a set of features that satisfies the device
required features. Elevators not matching the device requirements are
not shown in the device sysfs queue/scheduler file to prevent their use.

The "none" elevator can always be selected as before.

[PATCH v3 4/7] block: Improve default elevator selection

[Damien Le Moal]

For block devices that do not specify required features, preserve the
current default elevator selection (mq-deadline for single queue
devices, none for multi-queue devices). However, for devices specifying
required features (e.g. zoned block devices ELEVATOR_F_ZBD_SEQ_WRITE
feature), select the first available elevator providing the required
features.

In all cases, default to "none" if no elevator is available or if the
initialization of the default elevator fails.

[PATCH v3 5/7] block: Delay default elevator initialization

[Damien Le Moal]

When elevator_init_mq() is called from blk_mq_init_allocated_queue(),
the only information known about the device is the number of hardware
queues as the block device scan by the device driver is not completed
yet. The device type and the device required features are not set yet,
preventing to correctly choose the default elevator most suitable for
the device.

This currently affects all multi-queue zoned block devices which default
to the "none" elevator instead of the required "mq-deadline" elevator.
These drives currently include host-managed SMR disks connected to a
smartpqi HBA and null_blk block devices with zoned mode enabled.
Upcoming NVMe Zoned Namespace devices will also be affected.

Fix this by moving the execution of elevator_init_mq() from
blk_mq_init_allocated_queue() into __device_add_disk() to allow for the
device driver to probe the device characteristics and set attributes
of the device request queue prior to the elevator initialization.

Also to make sure that the elevator initialization is never done while
requests are in-flight (there should be none when the device driver
calls device_add_disk()), freeze and quiesce the device request queue
before executing blk_mq_init_sched().

[PATCH v3 6/7] block: Set ELEVATOR_F_ZBD_SEQ_WRITE for nullblk zoned disks

[Damien Le Moal]

Using the helper blk_queue_required_elevator_features(), set the
elevator feature ELEVATOR_F_ZBD_SEQ_WRITE as required for the request
queue of null_blk devices created with zoned mode enabled.

This feature requirement can always be satisfied as the mq-deadline
elevator is always selected for in-kernel compilation when
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_ZONED (zoned block device support) is enabled.

For dm-rq, add_disk_no_queue_reg() is called before blk_mq_init_allocated_queue().

That means this patch actually sets elevator early for dm-rq, and I
guess this way may not work as expected since hw/sw queues aren't allocated
yet.

For dm-rq, add_disk_no_queue_reg() is called before blk_mq_init_allocated_queue().

That means this patch actually sets elevator early for dm-rq, and I
guess this way may not work as expected since hw/sw queues aren't allocated
yet.

Series looks good to me, I'll just delete this one hunk, not a big deal.

Jens,

Thanks. But Ming's comment needed to be addressed, which I did in the V4 I just
sent out. I removed the white line chunk too.

Best regards.
