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.
Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@kernel.dk>
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.

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.

Currently we use separate sbitmap pairs and active_queues atomic_t for
shared sbitmap support.
However a full sets of static requests are used per HW queue, which is
quite wasteful, considering that the total number of requests usable at
any given time across all HW queues is limited by the shared sbitmap depth.
As such, it is considerably more memory efficient in the case of shared
sbitmap to allocate a set of static rqs per tag set or request queue, and
not per HW queue.
So replace the sbitmap pairs and active_queues atomic_t with a shared
tags per tagset and request queue, which will hold a set of shared static
rqs.
Since there is now no valid HW queue index to be passed to the blk_mq_ops
.init and .exit_request callbacks, pass an invalid index token. This
changes the semantics of the APIs, such that the callback would need to
validate the HW queue index before using it. Currently no user of shared
sbitmap actually uses the HW queue index (as would be expected).

For shared sbitmap, if the call to blk_mq_tag_update_depth() was
successful for any hctx when hctx->sched_tags is not set, then it would be
successful for all (due to nature in which blk_mq_tag_update_depth()
fails).
As such, there is no need to call blk_mq_tag_resize_shared_sbitmap() for

This patch has been tested as follows:
Measured QD=1/jobs=1 IOPS for nullb with the mq-deadline scheduler.
Result without and with this patch: 555 K IOPS.
Measured QD=1/jobs=8 IOPS for nullb with the mq-deadline scheduler.

if [ -e /sys/module/scsi_debug ]; then modprobe -r scsi_debug; fi
modprobe scsi_debug ndelay=1000000 max_queue=16

Result:

* 40 IOPS for the low-priority job
If the prio aging expiry time is changed from 100s into 0, the IOPS results
change into 6712 and 6796 IOPS.
