Commit 50e1dab86a ("blk-mq-sched: fix starvation for multiple hardware
queues and shared tags") fixed one starvation issue for shared tags.
However, we can still get into a situation where we fail to allocate a
tag because all tags are allocated but we don't have any pending
requests on any hardware queue.
One solution for this would be to restart all queues that share a tag
map, but that really sucks. Ideally, we could just block and wait for a
tag, but that isn't always possible from blk_mq_dispatch_rq_list().
However, we can still use the struct sbitmap_queue wait queues with a
custom callback instead of blocking. This has a few benefits:
1. It avoids iterating over all hardware queues when completing an I/O,
which the current restart code has to do.
2. It benefits from the existing rolling wakeup code.
3. It avoids punting to another thread just to have it block.

We rely on blk_mq_get_driver_tag() not failing if 'wait' is true,
but it currently fails in that case if the queue happens to be
stopped at the time of the call.
We don't need to check for stopped here, it's just assigning
the tag. If the queue is stopped, we'll handle it when
attempting to run the queue.
This fixes a stall/crash on flush intensive workloads, where
we proceed to process a flush that doesn't have a valid tag

Change the function to dispatch single requests at the time. If
we do that, we can backoff exactly at the point where the device

In blk_mq_map_swqueue, there is a memory optimization that frees the
tags of a queue that has gone unmapped. Later, if that hctx is remapped
after another topology change, the tags need to be reallocated.
If this allocation fails, a simple WARN_ON triggers, but the block layer
ends up with an active hctx without any corresponding set of tags.
Then, any income IO to that hctx can trigger an Oops.
I can reproduce it consistently by running IO, flipping CPUs on and off
and eventually injecting a memory allocation failure in that path.
In the fix below, if the system experiences a failed allocation of any
hctx's tags, we remap all the ctxs of that queue to the hctx_0, which
should always keep it's tags. There is a minor performance hit, since
our mapping just got worse after the error path, but this is
the simplest solution to handle this error path. The performance hit
will disappear after another successful remap.
I considered dropping the memory optimization all together, but it
seemed a bad trade-off to handle this very specific error case.
This should apply cleanly on top of Jens' for-next branch.
The Oops is the one below:

While stressing memory and IO at the same time we changed SMT settings,
we were able to consistently trigger deadlocks in the mm system, which
froze the entire machine.
I think that under memory stress conditions, the large allocations
performed by blk_mq_init_rq_map may trigger a reclaim, which stalls
waiting on the block layer remmaping completion, thus deadlocking the
system. The trace below was collected after the machine stalled,
waiting for the hotplug event completion.
The simplest fix for this is to make allocations in this path
non-reclaimable, with GFP_NOIO. With this patch, We couldn't hit the
issue anymore.
This should apply on top of Jens's for-next branch cleanly.
Changes since v1:
- Use GFP_NOIO instead of GFP_NOWAIT.

This patch enables a hybrid polling mode. Instead of polling after IO
submission, we can induce an artificial delay, and then poll after that.
For example, if the IO is presumed to complete in 8 usecs from now, we
can sleep for 4 usecs, wake up, and then do our polling. This still puts
a sleep/wakeup cycle in the IO path, but instead of the wakeup happening
after the IO has completed, it'll happen before. With this hybrid

In both legacy and mq path, req count of plug list is computed
before allocating request, so the number can be stale when falling
back to slept allocation, also the new introduced wbt can sleep
too.
This patch deals with the case by checking if plug list becomes
empty, and fixes the KASAN report of 'BUG: KASAN: stack-out-of-bounds'
which is introduced by Shaohua's patches of dispatching big request.

A previous commit changed this to pass in the hardware queue, but
it was using the wrong hardware queue. Hence a request that was
allocated on one hardware queue ended up being issued on another
one, and that caused IO timeouts and oopses on some drivers. Since
the request holds hardware queue private resources, like a tag,
we can't just issue it on a different hardware queue.

Enable throttling of buffered writeback to make it a lot
more smooth, and has way less impact on other system activity.
Background writeback should be, by definition, background
activity. The fact that we flush huge bundles of it at the time
means that it potentially has heavy impacts on foreground workloads,
which isn't ideal. We can't easily limit the sizes of writes that
we do, since that would impact file system layout in the presence
of delayed allocation. So just throttle back buffered writeback,
unless someone is waiting for it.
The algorithm for when to throttle takes its inspiration in the
CoDel networking scheduling algorithm. Like CoDel, blk-wb monitors
the minimum latencies of requests over a window of time. In that
window of time, if the minimum latency of any request exceeds a
given target, then a scale count is incremented and the queue depth
is shrunk. The next monitoring window is shrunk accordingly. Unlike
CoDel, if we hit a window that exhibits good behavior, then we
simply increment the scale count and re-calculate the limits for that
scale value. This prevents us from oscillating between a
close-to-ideal value and max all the time, instead remaining in the
windows where we get good behavior.
Unlike CoDel, blk-wb allows the scale count to to negative. This
happens if we primarily have writes going on. Unlike positive
scale counts, this doesn't change the size of the monitoring window.
When the heavy writers finish, blk-bw quickly snaps back to it's
stable state of a zero scale count.
The patch registers a sysfs entry, 'wb_lat_usec'. This sets the latency
target to me met. It defaults to 2 msec for non-rotational storage, and
75 msec for rotational storage. Setting this value to '0' disables
blk-wb. Generally, a user would not have to touch this setting.
We don't enable WBT on devices that are managed with CFQ, and have
a non-root block cgroup attached. If we have a proportional share setup
on this particular disk, then the wbt throttling will interfere with
that. We don't have a strong need for wbt for that case, since we will
rely on CFQ doing that for us.

For legacy block, we simply track them in the request queue. For
blk-mq, we track them on a per-sw queue basis, which we can then
sum up through the hardware queues and finally to a per device
state.
The stats are tracked in, roughly, 0.1s interval windows.
Add sysfs files to display the stats.
The feature is off by default, to avoid any extra overhead. In-kernel
users of it can turn it on by setting QUEUE_FLAG_STATS in the queue
flags. We currently don't turn it on if someone just reads any of
the stats files, that is something we could add as well.

Commit 0e87e58bf6 ("blk-mq: improve warning for running a queue on the
wrong CPU") attempts to avoid triggering the WARN_ON in
__blk_mq_run_hw_queue when the expected CPU is dead. Problem is, in the
last batch execution before round robin, blk_mq_hctx_next_cpu can
schedule a dead CPU and also update next_cpu to the next alive CPU in
the mask, which will trigger the WARN_ON despite the previous
workaround.
The following patch fixes this scenario by always scheduling the value
in hctx->next_cpu. This changes the moment when we round-robin the CPU
running the hctx, but it really doesn't matter, since it still executes
BLK_MQ_CPU_WORK_BATCH times in a row before switching to another CPU.

Most blk_mq_requeue_request() and blk_mq_add_to_requeue_list() calls
are followed by kicking the requeue list. Hence add an argument to
these two functions that allows to kick the requeue list. This was

blk_mq_quiesce_queue() waits until ongoing .queue_rq() invocations
have finished. This function does *not* wait until all outstanding
requests have finished (this means invocation of request.end_io()).
The algorithm used by blk_mq_quiesce_queue() is as follows:
* Hold either an RCU read lock or an SRCU read lock around
.queue_rq() calls. The former is used if .queue_rq() does not
block and the latter if .queue_rq() may block.
* blk_mq_quiesce_queue() first calls blk_mq_stop_hw_queues()
followed by synchronize_srcu() or synchronize_rcu(). The latter
call waits for .queue_rq() invocations that started before
blk_mq_quiesce_queue() was called.
* The blk_mq_hctx_stopped() calls that control whether or not
.queue_rq() will be called are called with the (S)RCU read lock
held. This is necessary to avoid race conditions against
blk_mq_quiesce_queue().
