      blk-mq: add cond_resched() in __blk_mq_alloc_rq_maps() · 8229cca8
      Xianting Tian authored 
      We found blk_mq_alloc_rq_maps() takes more time in kernel space when
testing nvme device hot-plugging. The test and anlysis as below.

Debug code,
1, blk_mq_alloc_rq_maps():
        u64 start, end;
        depth = set->queue_depth;
        start = ktime_get_ns();
        pr_err("[%d:%s switch:%ld,%ld] queue depth %d, nr_hw_queues %d\n",
                        current->pid, current->comm, current->nvcsw, current->nivcsw,
                        set->queue_depth, set->nr_hw_queues);
        do {
                err = __blk_mq_alloc_rq_maps(set);
                if (!err)
                        break;

                set->queue_depth >>= 1;
                if (set->queue_depth < set->reserved_tags + BLK_MQ_TAG_MIN) {
                        err = -ENOMEM;
                        break;
                }
        } while (set->queue_depth);
        end = ktime_get_ns();
        pr_err("[%d:%s switch:%ld,%ld] all hw queues init cost time %lld ns\n",
                        current->pid, current->comm,
                        current->nvcsw, current->nivcsw, end - start);

2, __blk_mq_alloc_rq_maps():
        u64 start, end;
        for (i = 0; i < set->nr_hw_queues; i++) {
                start = ktime_get_ns();
                if (!__blk_mq_alloc_rq_map(set, i))
                        goto out_unwind;
                end = ktime_get_ns();
                pr_err("hw queue %d init cost time %lld ns\n", i, end - start);
        }

Test nvme hot-plugging with above debug code, we found it totally cost more
than 3ms in kernel space without being scheduled out when alloc rqs for all
16 hw queues with depth 1023, each hw queue cost about 140-250us. The cost
time will be increased with hw queue number and queue depth increasing. And
in an extreme case, if __blk_mq_alloc_rq_maps() returns -ENOMEM, it will try
"queue_depth >>= 1", more time will be consumed.

So use this patch to trigger schedule between each hw queue init, to avoid
other threads getting stuck. It is not in atomic context when executing
__blk_mq_alloc_rq_maps(), so it is safe to call cond_resched().
