[PATCH V4 0/3] blk-mq: fix blk_mq_alloc_request_hctx

[PATCH V4 0/3] blk-mq: fix blk_mq_alloc_request_hctx

[Ming Lei]

Hi,

blk_mq_alloc_request_hctx() is used by NVMe fc/rdma/tcp/loop to connect
io queue. Also the sw ctx is chosen as the 1st online cpu in hctx->cpumask.
However, all cpus in hctx->cpumask may be offline.

This usage model isn't well supported by blk-mq which supposes allocator is
always done on one online CPU in hctx->cpumask. This assumption is
related with managed irq, which also requires blk-mq to drain inflight
request in this hctx when the last cpu in hctx->cpumask is going to
offline.

However, NVMe fc/rdma/tcp/loop don't use managed irq, so we should allow
them to ask for request allocation when the specified hctx is inactive
(all cpus in hctx->cpumask are offline). Fix blk_mq_alloc_request_hctx() by
allowing to allocate request when all CPUs of this hctx are offline.


V4:
	- remove patches for cleanup queue map helpers
	- take Christoph's suggestion to add field into 'struct device' for
	describing if managed irq is allocated from one device

V3:
	- cleanup map queues helpers, and remove pci/virtio/rdma queue
	  helpers
	- store use managed irq info into qmap


V2:
	- use flag of BLK_MQ_F_MANAGED_IRQ
	- pass BLK_MQ_F_MANAGED_IRQ from driver explicitly
	- kill BLK_MQ_F_STACKING


Ming Lei (3):
  driver core: mark device as irq affinity managed if any irq is managed
  blk-mq: mark if one queue map uses managed irq
  blk-mq: don't deactivate hctx if managed irq isn't used

[PATCH V4 1/3] driver core: mark device as irq affinity managed if any irq is managed

[Ming Lei]

irq vector allocation with managed affinity may be used by driver, and
blk-mq needs this info because managed irq will be shutdown when all
CPUs in the affinity mask are offline.

The info of using managed irq is often produced by drivers(pci subsystem,
platform device, ...), and it is consumed by blk-mq, so different subsystems
are involved in this info flow

Address this issue by adding one field of .irq_affinity_managed into
'struct device'.

Add space between "drivers" and "(".
s/pci/PCI/

Does this "managed IRQ" (or "managed affinity", not sure what the
correct terminology is here) have something to do with devm?

This is really opaque to me.  I can't tell what the connection between
PCI_IRQ_AFFINITY and irq_affinity_managed is.

AFAICT the only place irq_affinity_managed is ultimately used is
blk_mq_hctx_notify_offline(), and there's no obvious connection
between that and this code.

Comment for PCI_IRQ_AFFINITY is 'Auto-assign affinity',
'irq_affinity_managed' basically means that irq's affinity is managed by
kernel.

What blk-mq needs is exactly if PCI_IRQ_AFFINITY is applied when
allocating irq vectors. When PCI_IRQ_AFFINITY is used, genirq will
shutdown the irq when all CPUs in the assigned affinity are offline,
then blk-mq has to drain all in-flight IOs which will be completed
via this irq and prevent new IO. That is the connection.

Or you think 'irq_affinity_managed' isn't named well?

I believe the connection is described in comment.

I've been looking at "devm" management where there is a concept of
devm-managed IRQs, and you mentioned "managed IRQ" in the commit log.
But IIUC this is a completely different sort of management.

You mean the comment that says "hctx needn't to be deactivated in case
managed irq isn't used"?  Sorry, that really doesn't explain to me why
pci_alloc_irq_vectors_affinity() needs to set irq_affinity_managed.
There's just a lot of magic here that cannot be deduced by reading the
code.

Nit: s/needn't to be/needn't be/ in that comment.  Or maybe even
"Deactivate hctx only when managed IRQ is used"?  I still have no idea
what that means, but at least it's easier to read :)  Or maybe this is
actually "draining a queue" instead of "deactivating"?

Did you consider that for PCI device we effectively have this info already:

bool dev_has_managed_msi_irq(struct device *dev)
{
	struct msi_desc *desc;

	list_for_each_entry(desc, dev_to_msi_list(dev), list) {
		if (desc->affinity && desc->affinity->is_managed)
			return true;
	}

	return false;
}

Just walking the list seems fine to me given that this is not a
performance criticial path.  But what are the locking implications?

Also does the above imply this won't work for your platform MSI case?

Since it would be used for sequential setup code, I didn't think any 
locking was required. But would need to consider where that function 
lived and whether it's public.

Right. I think that it may be possible to reach into the platform msi 
descriptors to get this info, but I am not sure it's worth it. There is 
only 1x user there and there is no generic .map_queues function, so 
could set the flag directly:

int blk_mq_pci_map_queues(struct blk_mq_queue_map *qmap, struct pci_dev 
*pdev,
  		for_each_cpu(cpu, mask)
  			qmap->mq_map[cpu] = qmap->queue_offset + queue;
  	}
+	qmap->use_managed_irq = dev_has_managed_msi_irq(&pdev->dev);
}

Yeah, the allocated irq vectors should be live when running map queues.

virtio can be populated via platform device too, but managed irq affinity
isn't used, so seems dev_has_managed_msi_irq() is fine.

At the moment there are none because the list is initialized in the
setup path and never modified afterwards. Though that might change
sooner than later to fix the virtio wreckage vs. MSI-X.

The msi descriptors are attached to struct device and independent of
platform/PCI/whatever.

What is the issue there?  Either way, if we keep the helper in the
IRQ code it should be easy to spot for anyone adding the locking.

That's what I assumed, but this text from John suggested there is
something odd about the platform case:

For this special platform MSI case there is a secondary interrupt 
controller (called mbigen) which generates the MSI on behalf of the 
device, which I think the MSI belongs to (and not the device, itself).

See "latter case" mentioned in commit 91f90daa4fb2.

I think Marc and Thomas can explain this much better than I could.

Anyway, as I mentioned earlier, I think that this specific problem is 
unique and can be solved without using a function which examines the 
struct device.msi_list .

Thanks,
John

MBIGEN is a different story because it converts wired interrupts into
MSI interrupts, IOW a MSI based interrupt pin extender.

I might be wrong, but I seriously doubt that any multiqueue device which
wants to use affinity managed interrupts is built on top of that.

Actually the SCSI device for which platform device managed interrupts 
support was added in commit e15f2fa959f2 uses mbigen.

TLDR: virtio allocates ONE irq on msix_enable() and then when the guest
actually unmasks another entry (e.g. request_irq()), it tears down the
allocated one and set's up two. On the third one this repeats ....

There are only two options:

  1) allocate everything upfront, which is undesired
  2) append entries, which might need locking, but I'm still trying to
     avoid that

There is another problem vs. vector exhaustion which can't be fixed that
way, but that's a different story.

FTI, NVMe is similar.  We need one IRQ to setup the admin queue,
which is used to query/set how many I/O queues are supported.  Just
two steps though and not unbound.

OOps, sorry that should have been VFIO not virtio.

That's fine because that's controlled by the driver consistently and it
(hopefully) makes sure that the admin queue is quiesced before
everything is torn down after the initial query.

But that's not the case for VFIO. It tears down all in use interrupts
and the guest driver is completely oblivious of that.

Assume the following situation:

 1) VM boots with 8 present CPUs and 16 possible CPUs

 2) The passed through card (PF or VF) supports multiqueue and the
    driver uses managed interrupts which e.g. allocates one queue and
    one interrupt per possible CPU.

    Initial setup requests all the interrupts, but only the first 8
    queue interrupts are unmasked and therefore reallocated by the host
    which works by some definition of works because the device is quiet
    at that point.

 3) Host admin plugs the other 8 CPUs into the guest

    Onlining these CPUs in the guest will unmask the dormant managed
    queue interrupts and cause the host to allocate the remaining 8 per
    queue interrupts one by one thereby tearing down _all_ previously
    allocated ones and then allocating one more than before.

    Assume that while this goes on the guest has I/O running on the
    already online CPUs and their associated queues. Depending on the
    device this either will lose interrupts or reroute them to the
    legacy INTx which is not handled. This might in the best case result
    in a few "timedout" requests, but I managed it at least once to make
    the device go into lala land state, i.e. it did not recover.

The above can be fixed by adding an 'append' mode to the MSI code.

But that does not fix the overcommit issue where the host runs out of
vector space. The result is simply that the guest does not know and just
continues to work on device/queues which will never ever recieve an
interrupt (again).

I got educated that all of this is considered unlikely and my argument
that the concept of unlikely simply does not exist at cloud scale got
ignored. Sure, I know it's VIRT and therefore not subject to common
sense.

Thanks,

        tglx

Yes, it is.

> The above can be fixed by adding an 'append' mode to the MSI code.

So IFF we get that append mode I think it would help to simplify
drivers that have unmanaged pre and post vectors, and/or do the above
proving.

So instead of currently requesting a single unmanaged vector, do
basic setup, tear it down, request N managed vectors with an unmanaged
pre-vector we could just keep the unmanaged vector, never tear it down
and just append the post vectors.  In the long run this could remove
the need to do the pre and post vectors entirely.

[PATCH V4 3/3] blk-mq: don't deactivate hctx if managed irq isn't used

[Ming Lei]

blk-mq deactivates one hctx when the last CPU in hctx->cpumask become
offline by draining all requests originated from this hctx and moving new
allocation on other active hctx. This way is for avoiding inflight IO in
case of managed irq because managed irq is shutdown when the last CPU in
the irq's affinity becomes offline.

However, lots of drivers(nvme fc, rdma, tcp, loop, ...) don't use managed
irq, so they needn't to deactivate hctx when the last CPU becomes offline.
Also, some of them are the only user of blk_mq_alloc_request_hctx() which
is used for connecting io queue. And their requirement is that the connect
request needs to be submitted successfully via one specified hctx even though
all CPUs in this hctx->cpumask have become offline.

Addressing the requirement for nvme fc/rdma/loop by allowing to
allocate request from one hctx when all CPUs in this hctx are offline,
since these drivers don't use managed irq.

Finally don't deactivate one hctx when it doesn't use managed irq.
