Subject: [PATCH 2/5] dm-mpath: don't call blk_mq_delay_run_hw_queue() in case of BLK_STS_RESOURCE
Date: Sat, 30 Sep 2017 19:46:49 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20170930114652.32441-3-ming.lei@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20170930114652.32441-1-ming.lei@redhat.com>
If .queue_rq() returns BLK_STS_RESOURCE, blk-mq will rerun
the queue in the three situations:
1) if BLK_MQ_S_SCHED_RESTART is set
- queue is rerun after one rq is completed, see blk_mq_sched_restart()
which is run from blk_mq_free_request()
2) BLK_MQ_S_TAG_WAITING is set
- queue is rerun after one tag is freed
3) otherwise
- queue is run immediately in blk_mq_dispatch_rq_list()
This random dealy of running hw queue is introduced by commit
6077c2d706097c0(dm rq: Avoid that request processing stalls sporadically),
which claimed one request processing stalling is fixed,
but never explained the behind idea, and it is a workaound at most.
Even the question isn't explained by anyone in recent discussion.
Also calling blk_mq_delay_run_hw_queue() inside .queue_rq() is
a horrible hack because it makes BLK_MQ_S_SCHED_RESTART not
working, and will degrade I/O peformance a lot.
Finally this patch makes sure that dm-rq returns
BLK_STS_RESOURCE to blk-mq only when underlying queue is
out of resource, so we switch to return DM_MAPIO_DELAY_REQUEU
if either MPATHF_QUEUE_IO or MPATHF_PG_INIT_REQUIRED is set in
multipath_clone_and_map().
