Commit 25520d55cdb6 ("block: Inline blk_integrity in struct gendisk")
introduced blk_integrity_revalidate(), which seems to assume ownership
of the stable pages flag and unilaterally clears it if no blk_integrity
profile is registered:
if (bi->profile)
disk->queue->backing_dev_info->capabilities |=
BDI_CAP_STABLE_WRITES;
else
disk->queue->backing_dev_info->capabilities &=
~BDI_CAP_STABLE_WRITES;
It's called from revalidate_disk() and rescan_partitions(), making it
impossible to enable stable pages for drivers that support partitions
and don't use blk_integrity: while the call in revalidate_disk() can be
trivially worked around (see zram, which doesn't support partitions and
hence gets away with zram_revalidate_disk()), rescan_partitions() can
be triggered from userspace at any time. This breaks rbd, where the
ceph messenger is responsible for generating/verifying CRCs.
Since blk_integrity_{un,}register() "must" be used for (un)registering
the integrity profile with the block layer, move BDI_CAP_STABLE_WRITES
setting there. This way drivers that call blk_integrity_register() and
use integrity infrastructure won't interfere with drivers that don't
but still want stable pages.

nvmet_fc: Rework target side abort handling
target transport:
----------------------
There are cases when there is a need to abort in-progress target
operations (writedata) so that controller termination or errors can
clean up. That can't happen currently as the abort is another target
op type, so it can't be used till the running one finishes (and it may
not). Solve by removing the abort op type and creating a separate
downcall from the transport to the lldd to request an io to be aborted.
The transport will abort ios on queue teardown or io errors. In general
the transport tries to call the lldd abort only when the io state is
idle. Meaning: ops that transmit data (readdata or rsp) will always
finish their transmit (or the lldd will see a state on the
link or initiator port that fails the transmit) and the done call for
the operation will occur. The transport will wait for the op done
upcall before calling the abort function, and as the io is idle, the
io can be cleaned up immediately after the abort call; Similarly, ios
that are not waiting for data or transmitting data must be in the nvmet
layer being processed. The transport will wait for the nvmet layer
completion before calling the abort function, and as the io is idle,
the io can be cleaned up immediately after the abort call; As for ops
that are waiting for data (writedata), they may be outstanding
indefinitely if the lldd doesn't see a condition where the initiatior
port or link is bad. In those cases, the transport will call the abort
function and wait for the lldd's op done upcall for the operation, where
it will then clean up the io.
Additionally, if a lldd receives an ABTS and matches it to an outstanding
request in the transport, A new new transport upcall was created to abort
the outstanding request in the transport. The transport expects any
outstanding op call (readdata or writedata) will completed by the lldd and
the operation upcall made. The transport doesn't act on the reported
abort (e.g. clean up the io) until an op done upcall occurs, a new op is
attempted, or the nvmet layer completes the io processing.
fcloop:
----------------------
Updated to support the new target apis.
On fcp io aborts from the initiator, the loopback context is updated to
NULL out the half that has completed. The initiator side is immediately
called after the abort request with an io completion (abort status).
On fcp io aborts from the target, the io is stopped and the initiator side
sees it as an aborted io. Target side ops, perhaps in progress while the
initiator side is done, continue but noop the data movement as there's no
structure on the initiator side to reference.
patch also contains:
----------------------
Revised lpfc to support the new abort api
commonized rsp buffer syncing and nulling of private data based on
calling paths.

nvme_fcloop: split job struct from transport for req_release
Current design has the fcloop job struct, used for both initiator and

the target side wants to continue processing. the target side can't do
that if the initiator side goes away.
Revise fcloop to allocate an independent target side structure when it
starts an io from the initiator.
Added a lock to the request struct as well to synchronize pointer updates
on abort calls.
Modified target downcalls to recognize conditions where initiator has
aborted the io (thus nulled the pointer between job structs), thus
avoid referencing sgl lists which are gone and no longer making upcalls

nvme: improve performance for virtual NVMe devices
This change provides a mechanism to reduce the number of MMIO doorbell
writes for the NVMe driver. When running in a virtualized environment
like QEMU, the cost of an MMIO is quite hefy here. The main idea for
the patch is provide the device two memory location locations:
1) to store the doorbell values so they can be lookup without the doorbell
MMIO write
2) to store an event index.
I believe the doorbell value is obvious, the event index not so much.
Similar to the virtio specification, the virtual device can tell the
driver (guest OS) not to write MMIO unless you are writing past this
value.
FYI: doorbell values are written by the nvme driver (guest OS) and the
event index is written by the virtual device (host OS).
The patch implements a new admin command that will communicate where
these two memory locations reside. If the command fails, the nvme
driver will work as before without any optimizations.

when the scheduler lock is released, to avoid nesting between the

to deadlocks, because of other code paths that take the same locks in

Many popular I/O-intensive services or applications spawn or
reactivate many parallel threads/processes during short time
intervals. Examples are systemd during boot or git grep. These
services or applications benefit mostly from a high throughput: the
quicker the I/O generated by their processes is cumulatively served,
the sooner the target job of these services or applications gets
completed. As a consequence, it is almost always counterproductive to
weight-raise any of the queues associated to the processes of these
services or applications: in most cases it would just lower the
throughput, mainly because weight-raising also implies device idling.
To address this issue, an I/O scheduler needs, first, to detect which
queues are associated with these services or applications. In this
respect, we have that, from the I/O-scheduler standpoint, these
services or applications cause bursts of activations, i.e.,
activations of different queues occurring shortly after each
other. However, a shorter burst of activations may be caused also by
the start of an application that does not consist in a lot of parallel
I/O-bound threads (see the comments on the function bfq_handle_burst
for details).
In view of these facts, this commit introduces:
1) an heuristic to detect (only) bursts of queue activations caused by
services or applications consisting in many parallel I/O-bound
threads;
2) the prevention of device idling and weight-raising for the queues
belonging to these bursts.

block, bfq: boost the throughput on NCQ-capable flash-based devices
This patch boosts the throughput on NCQ-capable flash-based devices,
while still preserving latency guarantees for interactive and soft
real-time applications. The throughput is boosted by just not idling
the device when the in-service queue remains empty, even if the queue
is sync and has a non-null idle window. This helps to keep the drive's
internal queue full, which is necessary to achieve maximum
performance. This solution to boost the throughput is a port of
commits a68bbdd and f7d7b7a for CFQ.
As already highlighted in a previous patch, allowing the device to
prefetch and internally reorder requests trivially causes loss of
control on the request service order, and hence on service guarantees.
Fortunately, as discussed in detail in the comments on the function
bfq_bfqq_may_idle(), if every process has to receive the same
fraction of the throughput, then the service order enforced by the
internal scheduler of a flash-based device is relatively close to that
enforced by BFQ. In particular, it is close enough to let service
guarantees be substantially preserved.
Things change in an asymmetric scenario, i.e., if not every process
has to receive the same fraction of the throughput. In this case, to
guarantee the desired throughput distribution, the device must be
prevented from prefetching requests. This is exactly what this patch
does in asymmetric scenarios.
block, bfq: reduce idling only in symmetric scenarios
A seeky queue (i..e, a queue containing random requests) is assigned a
very small device-idling slice, for throughput issues. Unfortunately,
given the process associated with a seeky queue, this behavior causes
the following problem: if the process, say P, performs sync I/O and
has a higher weight than some other processes doing I/O and associated
with non-seeky queues, then BFQ may fail to guarantee to P its
reserved share of the throughput. The reason is that idling is key
for providing service guarantees to processes doing sync I/O [1].
This commit addresses this issue by allowing the device-idling slice
to be reduced for a seeky queue only if the scenario happens to be
symmetric, i.e., if all the queues are to receive the same share of
the throughput.

A set of processes may happen to perform interleaved reads, i.e.,
read requests whose union would give rise to a sequential read pattern.
There are two typical cases: first, processes reading fixed-size chunks
of data at a fixed distance from each other; second, processes reading
variable-size chunks at variable distances. The latter case occurs for
example with QEMU, which splits the I/O generated by a guest into
multiple chunks, and lets these chunks be served by a pool of I/O
threads, iteratively assigning the next chunk of I/O to the first
available thread. CFQ denotes as 'cooperating' a set of processes that
are doing interleaved I/O, and when it detects cooperating processes,
it merges their queues to obtain a sequential I/O pattern from the union
of their I/O requests, and hence boost the throughput.
Unfortunately, in the following frequent case, the mechanism
implemented in CFQ for detecting cooperating processes and merging
their queues is not responsive enough to handle also the fluctuating
I/O pattern of the second type of processes. Suppose that one process
of the second type issues a request close to the next request to serve
of another process of the same type. At that time the two processes
would be considered as cooperating. But, if the request issued by the
first process is to be merged with some other already-queued request,
then, from the moment at which this request arrives, to the moment
when CFQ controls whether the two processes are cooperating, the two
processes are likely to be already doing I/O in distant zones of the
disk surface or device memory.
CFQ uses however preemption to get a sequential read pattern out of
the read requests performed by the second type of processes too. As a
consequence, CFQ uses two different mechanisms to achieve the same
goal: boosting the throughput with interleaved I/O.
This patch introduces Early Queue Merge (EQM), a unified mechanism to
get a sequential read pattern with both types of processes. The main
idea is to immediately check whether a newly-arrived request lets some
pair of processes become cooperating, both in the case of actual
request insertion and, to be responsive with the second type of
processes, in the case of request merge. Both types of processes are
then handled by just merging their queues.

block, bfq: reduce latency during request-pool saturation
This patch introduces an heuristic that reduces latency when the
I/O-request pool is saturated. This goal is achieved by disabling
device idling, for non-weight-raised queues, when there are weight-
raised queues with pending or in-flight requests. In fact, as
explained in more detail in the comment on the function
bfq_bfqq_may_idle(), this reduces the rate at which processes
associated with non-weight-raised queues grab requests from the pool,
thereby increasing the probability that processes associated with
weight-raised queues get a request immediately (or at least soon) when
they need one. Along the same line, if there are weight-raised queues,
then this patch halves the service rate of async (write) requests for
non-weight-raised queues.
