smq seems to be performing better than the old mq policy in all situations, as well as using a quarter of the memory. Make 'mq' an alias for 'smq' when choosing a cache policy. The tunables that were present for the old mq are faked, and have no effect. mq should be considered deprecated now.

fail_path() will print a "Failing path ..." message but reinstate_path() doesn't print a "Reinstating path ...". Add that message to reinstate_path() to add symmetry and aid system debugging. Remove reinstate_path()'s check for the path_selector providing .reinstate_path hook. All path selectors provide this and any future ones must too. activate_path() calls pg_init_done() with SCSI_DH_DEV_OFFLINED but pg_init_done() doesn't expicitly handle it in its swicth statement. Add SCSI_DH_DEV_OFFLINED to the default case. Signed-off-by: Mike Snitzer <snitzer@redhat.com>

Now that dm-mpath core is lockless in the per-IO fast path it is critical, for performance, to have the .select_path hook (rr_select_path) also be as lockless as possible. The new percpu members of 'struct selector' allow for lockless support of 'repeat_count' governed repeat use of a previously selected path. If a path fails while it is 'current_path' the worst case is concurrent IO might be mapped to the failed path until the .fail_path hook (rr_fail_path) is called.

Proper locking of the lists used by the path selectors should be handled within the selectors (relying on dm-mpath.c code's use of the m->lock spinlock was reckless). Signed-off-by: Mike Snitzer <snitzer@redhat.com>

Mike Snitzer authored
Preparation for making __multipath_map() avoid taking the m->lock spinlock -- in favor of using RCU locking. repeat_count was primarily for bio-based DM multipath's benefit. There is really no need for it anymore now that DM multipath is request-based. As such, repeat_count > 1 is no longer honored and a warning is displayed if the user attempts to use a value > 1. This is a temporary change for the round-robin path-selector (as a later commit will restore its support for repeat_count > 1). Signed-off-by: Mike Snitzer <snitzer@redhat.com>

There isn't any need to support both old .request_fn and blk-mq paths in the blk-mq specific portion of __multipath_map(). Call blk_mq_alloc_request() directly rather than use blk_get_request().

Rename various methods to have either a "dm_old" or "dm_mq" prefix. Improve code comments to assist with understanding the duality of code that handles both "dm_old" and "dm_mq" cases.

Remove all fiddley code that propped up this support for a blk-mq request-queue ontop of all .request_fn devices. Testing has proven this niche request-based dm-mq mode to be buggy, when testing fault tolerance with DM multipath, and there is no point trying to preserve it. Should help improve efficiency of pure dm-mq code and make code maintenance less delicate. Signed-off-by: Mike Snitzer <snitzer@redhat.com>

old_stop_queue() was checking blk_queue_stopped() without holding the q->queue_lock. dm_requeue_original_request() needed to check blk_queue_stopped(), with q->queue_lock held, before calling blk_mq_kick_requeue_list(). And a side-effect of that change is start_queue() must also call blk_mq_kick_requeue_list(). Signed-off-by: Mike Snitzer <snitzer@redhat.com>

Allow user to change these values via module params or sysfs. 'dm_mq_nr_hw_queues' defaults to 1 (max 32). 'dm_mq_queue_depth' defaults to 2048 (up from 64, which proved far too small under moderate sized workloads -- the dm-multipath device would continuously block waiting for tags (requests) to become available). The maximum is BLK_MQ_MAX_DEPTH (currently 10240). Keep in mind the total number of pre-allocated requests per request-based dm-mq device is 'dm_mq_nr_hw_queues' * 'dm_mq_queue_depth' (currently 2048). Signed-off-by: Mike Snitzer <snitzer@redhat.com>

DM multipath is the only dm-mq target. But that aside, request-based DM only supports tables with a single target that is immutable. Leverage this fact in dm_mq_queue_rq() by using the 'immutable_target' stored in the mapped_device when the table was made active. This saves the need to even take the read-side of the SRCU via dm_{get,put}_live_table. If the active DM table does not have an immutable target (e.g. "error" target was swapped in) then fallback to the slow-path where the target is looked up from the live table.

The DM_TARGET_WILDCARD feature indicates that the "error" target may replace any target; even immutable targets. This feature will be useful to preserve the ability to replace the "multipath" target even once it is formally converted over to having the DM_TARGET_IMMUTABLE feature. Also, implicit in the DM_TARGET_WILDCARD feature flag being set is that .map, .map_rq, .clone_and_map_rq and .release_clone_rq are all defined in the target_type.

Request-based DM's blk-mq support (dm-mq) was reported to be 50% slower than if an underlying null_blk device were used directly. One of the reasons for this drop in performance is that blk_insert_clone_request() was calling blk_mq_insert_request() with @async=true. This forced the use of kblockd_schedule_delayed_work_on() to run the blk-mq hw queues which ushered in ping-ponging between process context (fio in this case) and kblockd's kworker to submit the cloned request. The ftrace function_graph tracer showed: kworker-2013 => fio-12190 fio-12190 => kworker-2013 ... kworker-2013 => fio-12190 fio-12190 => kworker-2013 ... Fixing blk_insert_clone_request()'s blk_mq_insert_request() call to _not_ use kblockd to submit the cloned requests isn't enough to eliminate the observed context switches. In addition to this dm-mq specific blk-core fix, there are 2 DM core fixes to dm-mq that (when paired with the blk-core fix) completely eliminate the observed context switching: 1) don't blk_mq_run_hw_queues in blk-mq request completion Motivated by desire to reduce overhead of dm-mq, punting to kblockd just increases context switches. In my testing against a really fast null_blk device there was no benefit to running blk_mq_run_hw_queues() on completion (and no other blk-mq driver does this). So hopefully this change doesn't induce the need for yet another revert like commit 621739b0 ! 2) use blk_mq_complete_request() in dm_complete_request() blk_complete_request() doesn't offer the traditional q->mq_ops vs .request_fn branching pattern that other historic block interfaces do (e.g. blk_get_request). Using blk_mq_complete_request() for blk-mq requests is important for performance. It should be noted that, like blk_complete_request(), blk_mq_complete_request() doesn't natively handle partial completions -- but the request-based DM-multipath target does provide the required partial completion support by dm.c:end_clone_bio() triggering requeueing of the request via dm-mpath.c:multipath_end_io()'s return of DM_ENDIO_REQUEUE. dm-mq fix #2 is _much_ more important than #1 for eliminating the context switches. Before: cpu : usr=15.10%, sys=59.39%, ctx=7905181, majf=0, minf=475 After: cpu : usr=20.60%, sys=79.35%, ctx=2008, majf=0, minf=472 With these changes multithreaded async read IOPs improved from ~950K to ~1350K for this dm-mq stacked on null_blk test-case. The raw read IOPs of the underlying null_blk device for the same workload is ~1950K.

Rename dm_get_live_table_for_ioctl to dm_grab_bdev_for_ioctl and have it do the dm_{get,put}_live_table() rather than split those operations. The dm_grab_bdev_for_ioctl() callers only care about the block_device associated with a singleton DM device so there isn't any need to retain a reference to the live DM table. It is sufficient to: 1) dm_get_live_table() 2) bdgrab() the bdev associated with the singleton table's target 3) dm_put_live_table() 4) bdput() the bdev Signed-off-by: Mike Snitzer <snitzer@redhat.com>
