blk-mq: new multi-queue block IO queueing mechanism Linux currently has two models for block devices: - The classic request_fn based approach, where drivers use struct request units for IO. The block layer provides various helper functionalities to let drivers share code, things like tag management, timeout handling, queueing, etc. - The "stacked" approach, where a driver squeezes in between the block layer and IO submitter. Since this bypasses the IO stack, driver generally have to manage everything themselves. With drivers being written for new high IOPS devices, the classic request_fn based driver doesn't work well enough. The design dates back to when both SMP and high IOPS was rare. It has problems with scaling to bigger machines, and runs into scaling issues even on smaller machines when you have IOPS in the hundreds of thousands per device. The stacked approach is then most often selected as the model for the driver. But this means that everybody has to re-invent everything, and along with that we get all the problems again that the shared approach solved. This commit introduces blk-mq, block multi queue support. The design is centered around per-cpu queues for queueing IO, which then funnel down into x number of hardware submission queues. We might have a 1:1 mapping between the two, or it might be an N:M mapping. That all depends on what the hardware supports. blk-mq provides various helper functions, which include: - Scalable support for request tagging. Most devices need to be able to uniquely identify a request both in the driver and to the hardware. The tagging uses per-cpu caches for freed tags, to enable cache hot reuse. - Timeout handling without tracking request on a per-device basis. Basically the driver should be able to get a notification, if a request happens to fail. - Optional support for non 1:1 mappings between issue and submission queues. blk-mq can redirect IO completions to the desired location. - Support for per-request payloads. Drivers almost always need to associate a request structure with some driver private command structure. Drivers can tell blk-mq this at init time, and then any request handed to the driver will have the required size of memory associated with it. - Support for merging of IO, and plugging. The stacked model gets neither of these. Even for high IOPS devices, merging sequential IO reduces per-command overhead and thus increases bandwidth. For now, this is provided as a potential 3rd queueing model, with the hope being that, as it matures, it can replace both the classic and stacked model. That would get us back to having just 1 real model for block devices, leaving the stacked approach to dm/md devices (as it was originally intended).

A timer is started for each request put on the device's queue (see blk_start_request->blk_add_timer). If the request does not complete before the timer expires, the timer handler (blk_rq_timed_out_timer) will mark the request complete atomically: static inline int blk_mark_rq_complete(struct request *rq) { return test_and_set_bit(REQ_ATOM_COMPLETE, &rq->atomic_flags); } and then call blk_rq_timed_out. The latter function will call scsi_times_out, which will return one of BLK_EH_HANDLED, BLK_EH_RESET_TIMER or BLK_EH_NOT_HANDLED. If BLK_EH_RESET_TIMER is returned, blk_clear_rq_complete is called, and blk_add_timer is again called to simply wait longer for the request to complete. Now, if the request happens to complete while this is going on, what happens? Given that we know the completion handler will bail if it finds the REQ_ATOM_COMPLETE bit set, we need to focus on the completion handler running after that bit is cleared. So, from the above paragraph, after the call to blk_clear_rq_complete. If the completion sets REQ_ATOM_COMPLETE before the BUG_ON in blk_add_timer, we go boom there (I haven't seen this in the cores). Next, if we get the completion before the call to list_add_tail, then the timer will eventually fire for an old req, which may either be freed or reallocated (there is evidence that this might be the case). Finally, if the completion comes in *after* the addition to the timeout list, I think it's harmless. The request will be removed from the timeout list, req_atom_complete will be set, and all will be well. This will only actually explain the coredumps *IF* the request structure was freed, reallocated *and* queued before the error handler thread had a chance to process it. That is possible, but it may make sense to keep digging for another race. I think that if this is what was happening, we would see other instances of this problem showing up as null pointer or garbage pointer dereferences, for example when the request structure was not re-used. It looks like we actually do run into that situation in other reports. This patch moves the BUG_ON(test_bit(REQ_ATOM_COMPLETE, &req->atomic_flags)); from blk_add_timer to the only caller that could trip over it (blk_start_request). It then inverts the calls to blk_clear_rq_complete and blk_add_timer in blk_rq_timed_out to address the race. I've boot tested this patch, but nothing more.

The stacked model gets neither of these. Even for high IOPS devices, merging sequential IO reduces per-command overhead and thus increases bandwidth. For now, this is provided as a potential 3rd queueing model, with the hope being that, as it matures, it can replace both the classic and stacked model. That would get us back to having just 1 real model for block devices, leaving the stacked approach to dm/md devices (as it was originally intended).

blk-mq: new multi-queue block IO queueing mechanism Linux currently has two models for block devices: - The classic request_fn based approach, where drivers use struct request units for IO. The block layer provides various helper functionalities to let drivers share code, things like tag management, timeout handling, queueing, etc. - The "stacked" approach, where a driver squeezes in between the block layer and IO submitter. Since this bypasses the IO stack, driver generally have to manage everything themselves. With drivers being written for new high IOPS devices, the classic request_fn based driver doesn't work well enough. The design dates back to when both SMP and high IOPS was rare. It has problems with scaling to bigger machines, and runs into scaling issues even on smaller machines when you have IOPS in the hundreds of thousands per device. The stacked approach is then most often selected as the model for the driver. But this means that everybody has to re-invent everything, and along with that we get all the problems again that the shared approach solved. This commit introduces blk-mq, block multi queue support. The design is centered around per-cpu queues for queueing IO, which then funnel down into x number of hardware submission queues. We might have a 1:1 mapping between the two, or it might be an N:M mapping. That all depends on what the hardware supports. blk-mq provides various helper functions, which include: - Scalable support for request tagging. Most devices need to be able to uniquely identify a request both in the driver and to the hardware. The tagging uses per-cpu caches for freed tags, to enable cache hot reuse. - Timeout handling without tracking request on a per-device basis. Basically the driver should be able to get a notification, if a request happens to fail. - Optional support for non 1:1 mappings between issue and submission queues. blk-mq can redirect IO completions to the desired location. - Support for per-request payloads. Drivers almost always need to associate a request structure with some driver private command structure. Drivers can tell blk-mq this at init time, and then any request handed to the driver will have the required size of memory associated with it. - Support for merging of IO, and plugging. The stacked model gets neither of these. Even for high IOPS devices, merging sequential IO reduces per-command overhead and thus increases bandwidth. For now, this is provided as a potential 3rd queueing model, with the hope being that, as it matures, it can replace both the classic and stacked model.
