At the moment, we separate the closed lines on three different list based on their number of valid sectors. GC recycles lines from each list based on capacity. Lines from each list are taken in a FIFO fashion. Since the number of lines is limited (it corresponds to the number of blocks in a LUN, which is somewhere between 1000-2000), we can afford scanning the lists to choose the optimal line to be recycled. This helps specially in lines with a high number of valid sectors. If the number of blocks per LUN increases, we will consider a more efficient policy. Signed-off-by:

After refactoring the metadata path, the backpointer controlling synced I/Os in a line becomes unnecessary; metadata is scheduled on the write thread, thus we know when the end of the line is reached and act on it directly. Signed-off-by:

Remove a legacy variable that helped verifying the consistency of the run-time metadata for the free line list. With the new metadata layout, this check is no longer necessary. Signed-off-by:

At the moment, line metadata is persisted on a separate work queue, that is kicked each time that a line is closed. The assumption when designing this was that freeing the write thread from creating a new write request was better than the potential impact of writes colliding on the media (user I/O and metadata I/O). Experimentation has proven that this assumption is wrong; collision can cause up to 25% of bandwidth and introduce long tail latencies on the write thread, which potentially cause user write threads to spend more time spinning to get a free entry on the write buffer. This patch moves the metadata logic to the write thread. When a line is closed, remaining metadata is written in memory and is placed on a metadata queue. The write thread then takes the metadata corresponding to the previous line, creates the write request and schedules it to minimize collisions on the media. Using this approach, we see that we can saturate the media's bandwidth, which helps reducing both write latencies and the spinning time for user writer threads. Signed-off-by:

Read requests allocate some extra memory to store its per I/O context. Instead of requiring yet another memory pool for other type of requests, generalize this context allocation (and change naming accordingly). Signed-off-by:

Erase I/Os are scheduled with the following goals in mind: (i) minimize LUNs collisions with write I/Os, and (ii) even out the price of erasing on every write, instead of putting all the burden on when garbage collection runs. This works well on the current design, but is specific to the default mapping algorithm. This patch generalizes the erase path so that other mapping algorithms can select an arbitrary line to be erased instead. It also gets rid of the erase semaphore since it creates jittering for user writes. Signed-off-by:

This fixes up two commits that have touched this driver. The command status field is now a blk_status_t, so we can't check for < 0 and we definitely can't assume it's holding -Exxxx error values. All we care about here is whether ->status is zero or not. Check for that, and remove the various attempts at smart error reporting. Just log to dmesg what command failed, and the blk_status_t value.

Pull in the fix for shared tags, as it conflicts with the pending changes in for-4.13/block. We already pulled in v4.12-rc5 to solve other conflicts or get fixes that went into 4.12, so not a lot of changes in this merge. Signed-off-by:

If we have shared tags enabled, then every IO completion will trigger a full loop of every queue belonging to a tag set, and every hardware queue for each of those queues, even if nothing needs to be done. This causes a massive performance regression if you have a lot of shared devices. Instead of doing this huge full scan on every IO, add an atomic counter to the main queue that tracks how many hardware queues have been marked as needing a restart. With that, we can avoid looking for restartable queues, if we don't have to. Max reports that this restores performance. Before this patch, 4K IOPS was limited to 22-23K IOPS. With the patch, we are running at 950-970K IOPS. Fixes: 6d8c6c0f ("blk-mq: Restart a single queue if tag sets are shared") Reported-by:

A queue must be frozen while the mapped state of a hardware queue is changed. Additionally, any change of the mapped state is followed by a call to blk_mq_map_swqueue() (see also blk_mq_init_allocated_queue() and blk_mq_update_nr_hw_queues()). Since blk_mq_map_swqueue() does not map any unmapped hardware queue onto any software queue, no attempt will be made to run an unmapped hardware queue. Hence issue a warning upon attempts to run an unmapped hardware queue. Signed-off-by:

Some functions in block/blk-core.c must only be used on blk-sq queues while others are safe to use against any queue type. Document which functions are intended for blk-sq queues and issue a warning if the blk-sq API is misused. This does not only help block driver authors but will also make it easier to remove the blk-sq code once that code is declared obsolete. Signed-off-by:

Initialization of blk-mq requests is a bit weird: blk_mq_rq_ctx_init() is called after a value has been assigned to .rq_flags and .rq_flags is initialized in __blk_mq_finish_request(). Initialize .rq_flags in blk_mq_rq_ctx_init() instead of relying on __blk_mq_finish_request(). Moving the initialization of .rq_flags is fine because all changes and tests of .rq_flags occur between blk_get_request() and finishing a request. Signed-off-by:

Instead of explicitly calling scsi_req_init() after blk_get_request(), call that function from inside blk_get_request(). Add an .initialize_rq_fn() callback function to the block drivers that need it. Merge the IDE .init_rq_fn() function into .initialize_rq_fn() because it is too small to keep it as a separate function. Keep the scsi_req_init() call in ide_prep_sense() because it follows a blk_rq_init() call. References: commit 82ed4db4 ("block: split scsi_request out of struct request") Signed-off-by:

Several block drivers need to initialize the driver-private request data after having called blk_get_request() and before .prep_rq_fn() is called, e.g. when submitting a REQ_OP_SCSI_* request. Avoid that that initialization code has to be repeated after every blk_get_request() call by adding new callback functions to struct request_queue and to struct blk_mq_ops. Signed-off-by:

Some storage drivers need to share tag sets between devices. It's useful to be able to model that with null_blk, to find hangs or performance issues. Add a 'shared_tags' bool module parameter that. If that is set to true and nr_devices is bigger than 1, all devices allocated will share the same tag set. Signed-off-by: -
