[PATCH v4 0/10] block: per-distpatch_queue flush machinery

[Ming Lei]

Hi,

As recent discussion, especially suggested by Christoph, this patchset
implements per-distpatch_queue flush machinery, so that:

	- current init_request and exit_request callbacks can
	cover flush request too, then the buggy copying way of
	initializing flush request's pdu can be fixed

	- flushing performance gets improved in case of multi hw-queue

About 70% throughput improvement is observed in sync write
over multi dispatch-queue virtio-blk, see details in commit log
of patch 10/10.

This patchset can be pulled from below tree too:

	git://kernel.ubuntu.com/ming/linux.git v3.17-block-dev-flush_v4

V4:
	- remove pdu copy from original request to flush request
	- don't call blk_free_flush_queue for !q->mq_ops

V3:
	- don't return failure code from blk_alloc_flush_queue() to
	avoid freeing invalid buffer in case of allocation failure
	- remove blk_init_flush() and blk_exit_flush()
	- remove unnecessary WARN_ON() from blk_alloc_flush_queue()
V2:
	- refactor blk_mq_init_hw_queues() and its pair, also it is a fix
	on failure path, so that conversion to per-queue flush becomes simple.
	- allocate/initialize flush queue in blk_mq_init_hw_queues()
	- add sync write tests on virtio-blk which is backed by SSD image

V1:
	- commit log typo fix
	- introduce blk_alloc_flush_queue() and its pair earlier, so
	that patch 5 and 8 become easier for review

[PATCH v4 01/10] blk-mq: allocate flush_rq in blk_mq_init_flush()

[Ming Lei]

It is reasonable to allocate flush req in blk_mq_init_flush().

[PATCH v4 02/10] block: introduce blk_init_flush and its pair

[Ming Lei]

These two temporary functions are introduced for holding flush
initialization and de-initialization, so that we can
introduce 'flush queue' easier in the following patch. And
once 'flush queue' and its allocation/free functions are ready,
they will be removed for sake of code readability.

Shouldn't we just do the mq work in this helper as well?  blk_mq_init_flush
does exactly the same work, plus initializing a lock, which is harmless
for the !mq case as well.

The initialization handler is just introduced for putting all initialization
into one place, then all will be put into blk_alloc_flush_queue() once
flush queue is introduced.

It is harmless to initialize mq lock for !mq, but may lose one benefit
of detecting misusing mq lock for !mq.

These fields are always used with the flush request, so

[PATCH v4 05/10] block: introduce blk_flush_queue to drive flush machinery

[Ming Lei]

This patch introduces 'struct blk_flush_queue' and puts all
flush machinery related fields into this structure, so that

	- flush implementation details aren't exposed to driver
	- it is easy to convert to per dispatch-queue flush machinery

This patch is basically a mechanical replacement.

I suspect it might be much easier to fold all previous patches except
for patch 4, which stands alone into one.  There's just too much churn
there which doesn't stay in the final version.

Simpler to merge, but more difficult to split. It is for easier review,
since patch 5 is a bit big and each patch still does one thing.

Thanks,

I defintively find the current version hard to review - it moves
code around a few times before it setlles, so it requires a lot of
memory or applying patches one after another to a tree.  And while
this might be useful in some cases this is one where merging the
patches doesn't seem to have much of a downside.  We'd still move
various fields into a structure, and add helpers to init it, just
with a tiny bit more changes on the initialization side.

That being said if you really prefer the split that's fine with me,
but it doesn't really seem helpful.

[PATCH v4 07/10] block: flush: avoid to figure out flush queue unnecessarily

[Ming Lei]

Just figuring out flush queue at the entry of kicking off flush
machinery and request's completion handler, then pass it through.

[PATCH v4 08/10] block: introduce 'blk_mq_ctx' parameter to blk_get_flush_queue

[Ming Lei]

This patch adds 'blk_mq_ctx' parameter to blk_get_flush_queue(),
so that this function can find the corresponding blk_flush_queue
bound with current mq context since the flush queue will become
per hw-queue.

For legacy queue, the parameter can be simply 'NULL'.

For multiqueue case, the parameter should be set as the context
from which the related request is originated. With this context
info, the hw queue and related flush queue can be found easily.

I think this should be merged into the patch introducing
blk_get_flush_queue.

The 'blk_mq_ctx' parameter should be treated carefully for
the function, that is why the patch isn't merged to previous
one, and patch 5 is big enough.

Again, small patch is easier for review, and we should try to
do one thing in one patch.

Thanks,

[PATCH v4 09/10] blk-mq: handle failure path for initializing hctx

[Ming Lei]

Failure of initializing one hctx isn't handled, so this patch
introduces blk_mq_init_hctx() and its pair to handle it explicitly.
Also this patch makes code cleaner.

Looks good,

Shouldn't this go to Jens as a separate fix for 3.18?

Without this one, patch 10 becomes quite ugly.

OK, I will split this one from this patchset.

I should just be patch 1 of the series so that Jens can merge it ASAP.

[PATCH v4 10/10] blk-mq: support per-distpatch_queue flush machinery

[Ming Lei]

This patch supports to run one single flush machinery for
each blk-mq dispatch queue, so that:

- current init_request and exit_request callbacks can
cover flush request too, then the buggy copying way of
initializing flush request's pdu can be fixed

- flushing performance gets improved in case of multi hw-queue

In fio sync write test over virtio-blk(4 hw queues, ioengine=sync,
iodepth=64, numjobs=4, bs=4K), it is observed that througput gets
increased a lot over my test environment:
	- throughput: +70% in case of virtio-blk over null_blk
	- throughput: +30% in case of virtio-blk over SSD image

The multi virtqueue feature isn't merged to QEMU yet, and patches for
the feature can be found in below tree:

	git://kernel.ubuntu.com/ming/qemu.git  	v2.1.0-mq.3

And simply passing 'num_queues=4 vectors=5' should be enough to
enable multi queue(quad queue) feature for QEMU virtio-blk.

I still think this should pass in the numa node instead of the hctx, and
allow node-local allocation for the old code as well.  As mentioned earlier
initializing mq_flush_lock for the !mq case is harmless. 


We also should document it where cleary somewhere that for devices that
have flushes enabled ->init_request can be called for more requests than
the queue depth, as drivers might allocate some sort of pool for them.

We can do that, but have to pass NUMA_NO_NODE for old code
since blk_init_allocated_queue() doesn't provide node information
yet.

q->mq_ops is another friend for the purpose, :-)

That does make sense.

Thanks,
