Subject: [PATCH v1 0/4] Expose blk-mq tag sets through debugfs
Date: Fri, 9 Oct 2026 11:01:07 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261009030111.57784-1-lei.chen@smartx.com> (raw)
Block debugfs provides views of request queues and hardware contexts, but
not the tag set they share. This series adds a tag set view for inspecting
configuration, CPU mappings and driver tags, with links from request queue
directories to identify queues using the same tag set.
The series first removes a stale CPU mapping comment and moves driver tag
allocation and reclamation from individual request queue initialization to
the tag set level. This gives the debugfs tag files a lifetime that can be
coordinated with tag allocation and release. It then adds tagset/<id>
directories under the debugfs root and links each request queue to its tag
set directory.
Tag reads hold a debugfs active reference only while copying tag fields to
local variables. Releasing it before copying to userspace lets tag file
removal complete even if a reader faults on its user buffer and needs I/O
to a frozen queue.
Based on Linux v7.3-rc2.
Testing on a 192-CPU x86_64 host with KASAN and lockdep enabled included:
- null_blk queue growth and shrink under concurrent direct I/O and
debugfs reads, including 100 cycles between 1 and 192 queues.
- Shared tag sets, shared tag bitmaps, three-map configurations, and
repeated device teardown and recreation with old file descriptors.
- Unmapped tag reclamation with 256 poll queues: tracing confirmed
allocation, reclamation, reallocation and reclamation again for
indices that became unmapped as the queue count changed.
- Task-local allocation fault injection, including hctx allocation
failures that rolled the hardware queue count back.
- NVMe loop with two namespaces, 50 controller resets and data-checked
direct I/O. These resets retained the same hardware queue count.
- userfaultfd-controlled stalls in tag reads: null_blk queue resizing
and NVMe loop controller deletion completed while copying to the
user buffer was blocked.
No KASAN or lockdep reports were observed in these tests. A hardware queue
count change with NVMe queues already frozen has not been tested.
