From 8e8320c9315c47a6a090188720ccff32a6a6ba18 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jens Axboe Date: Tue, 20 Jun 2017 17:56:13 -0600 Subject: blk-mq: fix performance regression with shared tags If we have shared tags enabled, then every IO completion will trigger a full loop of every queue belonging to a tag set, and every hardware queue for each of those queues, even if nothing needs to be done. This causes a massive performance regression if you have a lot of shared devices. Instead of doing this huge full scan on every IO, add an atomic counter to the main queue that tracks how many hardware queues have been marked as needing a restart. With that, we can avoid looking for restartable queues, if we don't have to. Max reports that this restores performance. Before this patch, 4K IOPS was limited to 22-23K IOPS. With the patch, we are running at 950-970K IOPS.
