There is no point in sleeping for the expected I/O completion timeout in the io_uring async polling model as we never poll for a specific I/O. Signed-off-by:

If an iocb is split into multiple bios we can't poll for both. So don't bother to even try to poll in that case. Signed-off-by:

The polling support in the legacy direct-io support is a little crufty. It already doesn't support the asynchronous polling needed for io_uring polling, and is hard to adopt to upcoming changes in the polling interfaces. Given that all the major file systems already use the iomap direct I/O code, just drop the polling support. Signed-off-by:

Currently we scan the entire plug list, which is potentially very expensive. In an IOPS bound workload, we can drive about 5.6M IOPS with merging enabled, and profiling shows that the plug merge check is the (by far) most expensive thing we're doing: Overhead Command Shared Object Symbol + 20.89% io_uring [kernel.vmlinux] [k] blk_attempt_plug_merge + 4.98% io_uring [kernel.vmlinux] [k] io_submit_sqes + 4.78% io_uring [kernel.vmlinux] [k] blkdev_direct_IO + 4.61% io_uring [kernel.vmlinux] [k] blk_mq_submit_bio Instead of browsing the whole list, just check the previously inserted entry. That is enough for a naive merge check and will catch most cases, and for devices that need full merging, the IO scheduler attached to such devices will do that anyway. The plug merge is meant to be an inexpensive check to avoid getting a request, but if we repeatedly scan the list for every single insert, it is very much not a cheap check. With this patch, the workload instead runs at ~7.0M IOPS, providing a 25% improvement. Disabling merging entirely yields another 5% improvement. Reviewed-by:

Everything under block/ depends on BLOCK. BLOCK_HOLDER_DEPRECATED is selected from drivers/md/Kconfig, which is entirely dependent on BLOCK. Extend the 'if BLOCK' ... 'endif' so it covers the whole block/Kconfig. Also, clean up the definition of BLOCK_COMPAT and BLK_MQ_PCI because COMPAT and PCI are boolean. Signed-off-by:

Add a blk_mq_get_tags() helper, which uses the new sbitmap API for allocating a batch of tags all at once. This both simplifies the block code for batched allocation, and it is also more efficient than just doing repeated calls into __sbitmap_queue_get(). This reduces the sbitmap overhead in peak runs from ~3% to ~1% and yields a performanc increase from 6.6M IOPS to 6.8M IOPS for a single CPU core. Signed-off-by: -
Jens Axboe authored
The block layer tag allocation batching still calls into sbitmap to get each tag, but we can improve on that. Add __sbitmap_queue_get_batch(), which returns a mask of tags all at once, along with an offset for those tags. An example return would be 0xff, where bits 0..7 are set, with tag_offset == 128. The valid tags in this case would be 128..135. A batch is specific to an individual sbitmap_map, hence it cannot be larger than that. The requested number of tags is automatically reduced to the max that can be satisfied with a single map. On failure, 0 is returned. Caller should fall back to single tag allocation at that point/ Signed-off-by: -

We already have a blk_mq_need_time_stamp() check in __blk_mq_end_request() to get a timestamp, hide all the statistics accounting under it. It cuts some cycles for requests that don't need stats, and is free otherwise. Signed-off-by:

We could have a race here, where the request gets freed before we call into blk_mq_run_hw_queue(). If this happens, we cannot rely on the state of the request. Grab the hardware context before inserting the flush. Fixes: 0f38d766 ("blk-mq: cleanup blk_mq_submit_bio") Reviewed-by:

The newly added loop for the cached requests in __blk_mq_alloc_request is a little too convoluted for my taste, so unwind it a bit. Also rename the function to __blk_mq_alloc_requests now that it can allocate more than a single request. Signed-off-by:

The caller typically has a good (or even exact) idea of how many requests it needs to submit. We can make the request/tag allocation a lot more efficient if we just allocate N requests/tags upfront when we queue the first bio from the batch. Provide a new plug start helper that allows the caller to specify how many IOs are expected. This sets plug->nr_ios, and we can use that for smarter request allocation. The plug provides a holding spot for requests, and request allocation will check it before calling into the normal request allocation path. The blk_finish_plug() is called, check if there are unused requests and free them. This should not happen in normal operations. The exception is if we get merging, then we may be left with requests that need freeing when done. This raises the per-core performance on my setup from ~5.8M to ~6.1M IOPS. Signed-off-by: -

Particularly for NVMe with efficient deferred submission for many requests, there are nice benefits to be seen by bumping the default max plug count from 16 to 32. This is especially true for virtualized setups, where the submit part is more expensive. But can be noticed even on native hardware. Reduce the multiple queue factor from 4 to 2, since we're changing the default size. While changing it, move the defines into the block layer private header. These aren't values that anyone outside of the block layer uses, or should use. Signed-off-by: -

Doing high IOPS testing with blk-cgroups enabled spends ~15-20% of the time just doing ktime_get_ns() -> readtsc. We essentially read and set the start time twice, one for the bio and then again when that bio is mapped to a request. Given that the time between the two is very short, inherit the bio start time instead of reading it again. This cuts 1/3rd of the overhead of the time keeping. Acked-by:

Now that we use shared tags for shared sbitmap support, we don't require the tags sbitmap pointers, so drop them. This essentially reverts commit 222a5ae0 ("blk-mq: Use pointers for blk_mq_tags bitmap tags"). Function blk_mq_init_bitmap_tags() is removed also, since it would be only a wrappper for blk_mq_init_bitmaps(). Reviewed-by:
