block: Improve performance for BLK_MQ_F_BLOCKING drivers
blk_mq_run_queue() runs the queue asynchronously if BLK_MQ_F_BLOCKING has been set. This is suboptimal since running the queue asynchronously is slower than running the queue synchronously. This patch modifies blk_mq_run_queue() as follows if BLK_MQ_F_BLOCKING has been set: - Run the queue synchronously if it is allowed to sleep. - Run the queue asynchronously if it is not allowed to sleep. Additionally, blk_mq_run_hw_queue(hctx, false) calls are modified into blk_mq_run_hw_queue(hctx, hctx->flags & BLK_MQ_F_BLOCKING) if the caller may be invoked from atomic context. The following caller chains have been reviewed: blk_mq_run_hw_queue(hctx, false) blk_mq_get_tag() /* may sleep, hence the functions it calls may also sleep */ blk_execute_rq() /* may sleep */ blk_mq_run_hw_queues(q, async=false) blk_freeze_queue_start() /* may sleep */ blk_mq_requeue_work() /* may sleep */ scsi_kick_queue() scsi_requeue_run_queue() /* may sleep */ scsi_run_host_queues() scsi_ioctl_reset() /* may sleep */ blk_mq_insert_requests(hctx, ctx, list, run_queue_async=false) blk_mq_dispatch_plug_list(plug, from_sched=false) blk_mq_flush_plug_list(plug, from_schedule=false) __blk_flush_plug(plug, from_schedule=false) blk_add_rq_to_plug() blk_mq_submit_bio() /* may sleep if REQ_NOWAIT has not been set */ blk_mq_plug_issue_direct() blk_mq_flush_plug_list() /* see above */ blk_mq_dispatch_plug_list(plug, from_sched=false) blk_mq_flush_plug_list() /* see above */ blk_mq_try_issue_directly() blk_mq_submit_bio() /* may sleep if REQ_NOWAIT has not been set */ blk_mq_try_issue_list_directly(hctx, list) blk_mq_insert_requests() /* see above */ Cc: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de> Cc: Ming Lei <ming.lei@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Bart Van Assche <bvanassche@acm.org> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20230721172731.955724-4-bvanassche@acm.orgSigned-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@kernel.dk>
