From 396eaf21ee17c476e8f66249fb1f4a39003d0ab4 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ming Lei Date: Wed, 17 Jan 2018 11:25:57 -0500 Subject: blk-mq: improve DM's blk-mq IO merging via blk_insert_cloned_request feedback blk_insert_cloned_request() is called in the fast path of a dm-rq driver (e.g. blk-mq request-based DM mpath). blk_insert_cloned_request() uses blk_mq_request_bypass_insert() to directly append the request to the blk-mq hctx->dispatch_list of the underlying queue. 1) This way isn't efficient enough because the hctx spinlock is always used. 2) With blk_insert_cloned_request(), we completely bypass underlying queue's elevator and depend on the upper-level dm-rq driver's elevator to schedule IO. But dm-rq currently can't get the underlying queue's dispatch feedback at all. Without knowing whether a request was issued or not (e.g. due to underlying queue being busy) the dm-rq elevator will not be able to provide effective IO merging (as a side-effect of dm-rq currently blindly destaging a request from its elevator only to requeue it after a delay, which kills any opportunity for merging). This obviously causes very bad sequential IO performance. Fix this by updating blk_insert_cloned_request() to use blk_mq_request_direct_issue(). blk_mq_request_direct_issue() allows a request to be issued directly to the underlying queue and returns the dispatch feedback (blk_status_t). If blk_mq_request_direct_issue() returns BLK_SYS_RESOURCE the dm-rq driver will now use DM_MAPIO_REQUEUE to _not_ destage the request. Whereby preserving the opportunity to merge IO. With this, request-based DM's blk-mq sequential IO performance is vastly improved (as much as 3X in mpath/virtio-scsi testing).
