Subject: block: loop: convert to blk-mq
Date: Sun, 31 Aug 2014 00:08:21 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1409414907-22238-1-git-send-email-ming.lei@canonical.com> (raw)
Hi,
The following 6 patches convert current loop driver into blk-mq:
- loop's scalability gets improved much
- loop driver gets quite simplified, and the conversion can
be throught as cleanup
The previous kernel AIO patches will be submitted in another patchset
for improving loop's performance.
V2:
- replace work queue with kthread worker because wq may cause
regression on some fast devices(such as loop over null_blk, tmpfs
file, ...), in these cases, loop thread becomes CPU bound actually,
so work queue will introduce lots of unnecessary context switch, and
decrease throughput a lot one this cases
- introduce prepare_flush_rq_fn callback and its pair in blk-mq ops
for setting up flush rq's pdu correctly
- move kernel aio patches into another patchset as suggested by
Christoph
- no change in the other 4 patches
V1:
- improve failure path in aio_kernel_submit()
