Subject: [PATCH v10 0/2] blk-mq: Rework blk-mq timeout handling again
Hello Jens,
This is the tenth incarnation of the blk-mq timeout handling rework. All
previously posted comments should have been addressed. Please consider this
patch series for inclusion in the upstream kernel.
Bart.
Changes compared to v9:
- Addressed multiple comments related to patch 1/2: added
CONFIG_ARCH_HAVE_CMPXCHG64 for riscv, modified
features/locking/cmpxchg64/arch-support.txt as requested and made the
order of the symbols in the arch/*/Kconfig alphabetical where possible.
Changes compared to v8:
- Split into two patches.
- Moved the spin_lock_init() call from blk_mq_rq_ctx_init() into
blk_mq_init_request().
- Fixed the deadline set by blk_add_timer().
- Surrounded the das_lock member with #ifndef CONFIG_ARCH_HAVE_CMPXCHG64 /
#endif.
Changes compared to v7:
- Fixed the generation number mechanism. Note: with this patch applied the
behavior of the block layer does not depend on the generation number.
- Added more 32-bit architectures to the list of architectures on which
cmpxchg64() should not be used.
Changes compared to v6:
- Used a union instead of bit manipulations to store multiple values into
a single 64-bit field.
- Reduced the size of the timeout field from 64 to 32 bits.
- Made sure that the block layer still builds with this patch applied
for the sh and mips architectures.
- Fixed two sparse warnings that were introduced by this patch in the
WRITE_ONCE() calls.
Changes compared to v5:
- Restored the synchronize_rcu() call between marking a request for timeout
handling and the actual timeout handling to avoid that timeout handling
starts while .queue_rq() is still in progress if the timeout is very short.
- Only use cmpxchg() if another context could attempt to change the request
state concurrently. Use WRITE_ONCE() otherwise.
Changes compared to v4:
- Addressed multiple review comments from Christoph. The most important are
that atomic_long_cmpxchg() has been changed into cmpxchg() and also that
there is now a nice and clean split between the legacy and blk-mq versions
of blk_add_timer().
- Changed the patch name and modified the patch description because there is
disagreement about whether or not the v4.16 blk-mq core can complete a
single request twice. Kept the "Cc: stable" tag because of
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=199077.
Changes compared to v3 (see also https://www.mail-archive.com/linux-block@vger.kernel.org/msg20073.html):
- Removed the spinlock again that was introduced to protect the request state.
v4 uses atomic_long_cmpxchg() instead.
- Split __deadline into two variables - one for the legacy block layer and one
for blk-mq.
Changes compared to v2 (https://www.mail-archive.com/linux-block@vger.kernel.org/msg18338.html):
- Rebased and retested on top of kernel v4.16.
Changes compared to v1 (https://www.mail-archive.com/linux-block@vger.kernel.org/msg18089.html):
- Removed the gstate and aborted_gstate members of struct request and used
the __deadline member to encode both the generation and state information.
