2021-10-18block: fix incorrect references to disk objectsZqiang
When adding partitions to the disk, the reference count of the disk object is increased. then alloc partition device and called device_add(), if the device_add() return error, the reference count of the disk object will be reduced twice, at put_device(pdev) and put_disk(disk). this leads to the end of the object's life cycle prematurely, and trigger following calltrace. __init_work+0x2d/0x50 kernel/workqueue.c:519 synchronize_rcu_expedited+0x3af/0x650 kernel/rcu/tree_exp.h:847 bdi_remove_from_list mm/backing-dev.c:938 [inline] bdi_unregister+0x17f/0x5c0 mm/backing-dev.c:946 release_bdi+0xa1/0xc0 mm/backing-dev.c:968 kref_put include/linux/kref.h:65 [inline] bdi_put+0x72/0xa0 mm/backing-dev.c:976 bdev_free_inode+0x11e/0x220 block/bdev.c:408 i_callback+0x3f/0x70 fs/inode.c:226 rcu_do_batch kernel/rcu/tree.c:2508 [inline] rcu_core+0x76d/0x16c0 kernel/rcu/tree.c:2743 __do_softirq+0x1d7/0x93b kernel/softirq.c:558 invoke_softirq kernel/softirq.c:432 [inline] __irq_exit_rcu kernel/softirq.c:636 [inline] irq_exit_rcu+0xf2/0x130 kernel/softirq.c:648 sysvec_apic_timer_interrupt+0x93/0xc0 making disk is NULL when calling put_disk().

2021-10-18block: store elevator state in requestJens Axboe
Add an rq private RQF_ELV flag, which tells the block layer that this request was initialized on a queue that has an IO scheduler attached. This allows for faster checking in the fast path, rather than having to deference rq->q later on. Elevator switching does full quiesce of the queue before detaching an IO scheduler, so it's safe to cache this in the request itself. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@kernel.dk>

2021-10-18block: switch polling to be bio basedChristoph Hellwig
Replace the blk_poll interface that requires the caller to keep a queue and cookie from the submissions with polling based on the bio. Polling for the bio itself leads to a few advantages: - the cookie construction can made entirely private in blk-mq.c - the caller does not need to remember the request_queue and cookie separately and thus sidesteps their lifetime issues - keeping the device and the cookie inside the bio allows to trivially support polling BIOs remapping by stacking drivers - a lot of code to propagate the cookie back up the submission path can be removed entirely.

2021-10-18block: only check previous entry for plug merge attemptJens Axboe
Currently we scan the entire plug list, which is potentially very expensive. In an IOPS bound workload, we can drive about 5.6M IOPS with merging enabled, and profiling shows that the plug merge check is the (by far) most expensive thing we're doing: Overhead Command Shared Object Symbol + 20.89% io_uring [kernel.vmlinux] [k] blk_attempt_plug_merge + 4.98% io_uring [kernel.vmlinux] [k] io_submit_sqes + 4.78% io_uring [kernel.vmlinux] [k] blkdev_direct_IO + 4.61% io_uring [kernel.vmlinux] [k] blk_mq_submit_bio Instead of browsing the whole list, just check the previously inserted entry. That is enough for a naive merge check and will catch most cases, and for devices that need full merging, the IO scheduler attached to such devices will do that anyway. The plug merge is meant to be an inexpensive check to avoid getting a request, but if we repeatedly scan the list for every single insert, it is very much not a cheap check. With this patch, the workload instead runs at ~7.0M IOPS, providing a 25% improvement. Disabling merging entirely yields another 5% improvement.

2021-10-18block: pre-allocate requests if plug is started and is a batchJens Axboe
The caller typically has a good (or even exact) idea of how many requests it needs to submit. We can make the request/tag allocation a lot more efficient if we just allocate N requests/tags upfront when we queue the first bio from the batch. Provide a new plug start helper that allows the caller to specify how many IOs are expected. This sets plug->nr_ios, and we can use that for smarter request allocation. The plug provides a holding spot for requests, and request allocation will check it before calling into the normal request allocation path. The blk_finish_plug() is called, check if there are unused requests and free them. This should not happen in normal operations. The exception is if we get merging, then we may be left with requests that need freeing when done. This raises the per-core performance on my setup from ~5.8M to ~6.1M IOPS.

2021-10-18block: bump max plugged deferred size from 16 to 32Jens Axboe
Particularly for NVMe with efficient deferred submission for many requests, there are nice benefits to be seen by bumping the default max plug count from 16 to 32. This is especially true for virtualized setups, where the submit part is more expensive. But can be noticed even on native hardware. Reduce the multiple queue factor from 4 to 2, since we're changing the default size. While changing it, move the defines into the block layer private header. These aren't values that anyone outside of the block layer uses, or should use. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@kernel.dk>
2021-10-18block: inherit request start time from bio for BLK_CGROUPJens Axboe
Doing high IOPS testing with blk-cgroups enabled spends ~15-20% of the time just doing ktime_get_ns() -> readtsc. We essentially read and set the start time twice, one for the bio and then again when that bio is mapped to a request. Given that the time between the two is very short, inherit the bio start time instead of reading it again. This cuts 1/3rd of the overhead of the time keeping.

2021-10-18block: move blk-throtl fast path inlineJens Axboe
Even if no policies are defined, we spend ~2% of the total IO time checking. Move the fast path inline. Acked-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@kernel.dk>
