I agree that currently this design pattern has caused blk-core and dm being tightly coupled together. Maybe it's the most serous problem of this patchset, personally. I can explain it though... Since the nature of the IO path of dm, dm itself doesn't know if the original bio be split to multiple split bios and thus submitted to multiple underlying devices or not. Currently I can only get this information in __submit_bio_noacct(), and that's why there's so much logic specific to dm is coupled with blk-core here. Besides, as you just pointed out, it's not compatible once other bio-based devices start to support polling. > >> + >> + if (!blk_qc_t_valid(ret)) { >> + /* set initial value */ >> + ret = cookie; >> + } else if (ret != cookie) { >> + /* bio gets split and enqueued to multi hctxs */ >> + ret = BLK_QC_T_BIO_POLL_ALL; >> + poll_on = false; >> + } >> + } >> >> /* >> * Sort new bios into those for a lower level and those for the >> @@ -989,6 +1013,7 @@ static blk_qc_t __submit_bio_noacct(struct bio *bio) >> } while ((bio = bio_list_pop(&bio_list_on_stack[0]))); >> >> current->bio_list = NULL; >> + >> return ret; >> } > > Nit: Not seeing need to alter white space here.

If not, why not? Blk-mq doesn't have this issue. Io_uring will do fget() for input files that need do IO. fput() will be deferred until the IO has completed. Thus the polling routine is guarded by fget() and fput(). fget() will ensure that the underlying disk (struct block_device, struct disk, struct request_queue, etc.) is pinned there. In terms for dm, the above can only guarantee that dm device itself is pinned, while there's no guarantee for the underlying devices once dm table reload happens. > >> + >> + ret = blk_mq_poll_hctx(q, hctx); >> + >> + blkdev_put_no_open(bdev); >> + return ret; >> +} >> >> static int blk_bio_poll(struct request_queue *q, blk_qc_t cookie, bool spin) >> { >> @@ -1129,7 +1192,11 @@ static int blk_bio_poll(struct request_queue *q, blk_qc_t cookie, bool spin) >> do { >> int ret; >> >> - ret = disk->fops->poll(q, cookie); >> + if (unlikely(blk_qc_t_is_poll_multi(cookie))) >> + ret = disk->fops->poll(q, cookie); >> + else >> + ret = blk_poll_bio(cookie); >> + > > Again, this just seems too limiting.
