From 17497acbdce9506fd6a75115dee4ab80c3cc5ee5 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Tejun Heo Date: Wed, 24 Sep 2014 13:31:50 -0400 Subject: blk-mq, percpu_ref: start q->mq_usage_counter in atomic mode blk-mq uses percpu_ref for its usage counter which tracks the number of in-flight commands and used to synchronously drain the queue on freeze. percpu_ref shutdown takes measureable wallclock time as it involves a sched RCU grace period. This means that draining a blk-mq takes measureable wallclock time. One would think that this shouldn't matter as queue shutdown should be a rare event which takes place asynchronously w.r.t. userland. Unfortunately, SCSI probing involves synchronously setting up and then tearing down a lot of request_queues back-to-back for non-existent LUNs. This means that SCSI probing may take above ten seconds when scsi-mq is used. [ 0.949892] scsi host0: Virtio SCSI HBA [ 1.007864] scsi 0:0:0:0: Direct-Access QEMU QEMU HARDDISK 1.1.

This patch makes blk-mq initialize q->mq_usage_counter in atomic mode and switch it to percpu mode only once blk_register_queue() is reached. Note that this issue was previously worked around by 0a30288da1ae ("blk-mq, percpu_ref: implement a kludge for SCSI blk-mq stall during probe") for v3.17. The temp fix was reverted in preparation of adding persistent atomic mode to percpu_ref by 9eca80461a45 ("Revert "blk-mq, percpu_ref: implement a kludge for SCSI blk-mq stall during probe""). This patch and the prerequisite percpu_ref changes will be merged during v3.18 devel cycle.
