We don't need to check whether the node is memoryless numa node before
calling allocator interface. SLUB(and SLAB,SLOB) relies on the page
allocator to pick a node. Page allocator should deal with memoryless
nodes just fine. It has zonelists constructed for each possible nodes.
And it will automatically fall back into a node which is closest to the
requested node. As long as __GFP_THISNODE is not enforced of course.
The code comments of kmem_cache_alloc_node() of SLAB also showed this:
* Fallback to other node is possible if __GFP_THISNODE is not set.
blk-mq code doesn't set __GFP_THISNODE, so we can remove the calling
of local_memory_node().

Spread queues among present CPUs first, then building mapping on other
non-present CPUs.
So we can minimize count of dead queues which are mapped by un-present
CPUs only. Then bad IO performance can be avoided by unbalanced mapping
between present CPUs and queues.
The similar policy has been applied on Managed IRQ affinity.

Pull irq updates from Thomas Gleixner:
"The irq department delivers:
- Expand the generic infrastructure handling the irq migration on CPU
hotplug and convert X86 over to it. (Thomas Gleixner)
Aside of consolidating code this is a preparatory change for:
- Finalizing the affinity management for multi-queue devices. The
main change here is to shut down interrupts which are affine to a
outgoing CPU and reenabling them when the CPU comes online again.
That avoids moving interrupts pointlessly around and breaking and
reestablishing affinities for no value. (Christoph Hellwig)
Note: This contains also the BLOCK-MQ and NVME changes which depend
on the rework of the irq core infrastructure. Jens acked them and

This patch performs sequential mapping between CPUs and queues.
In case the system has more CPUs than HWQs then there are still
CPUs to map to HWQs. In hyperthreaded system, map the unmapped CPUs
and their siblings to the same HWQ.
This actually fixes a bug that found unmapped HWQs in a system with
2 sockets, 18 cores per socket, 2 threads per core (total 72 CPUs)
running NVMEoF (opens upto maximum of 64 HWQs).
Performance results running fio (72 jobs, 128 iodepth)
using null_blk (w/w.o patch):

In architecture like powerpc, we can have cpus without any local memory
attached to it (a.k.a memoryless nodes). In such cases cpu to node mapping
can result in memory allocation hints for block hctx->numa_node populated
with node values which does not have real memory.
Instead use local_memory_node(), which is guaranteed to have memory.
local_memory_node is a noop in other architectures that does not support

Notifier callbacks for CPU_ONLINE action can be run on the other CPU
than the CPU which was just onlined. So it is possible for the
process running on the just onlined CPU to insert request and run
hw queue before establishing new mapping which is done by
blk_mq_queue_reinit_notify().
This can cause a problem when the CPU has just been onlined first time
since the request queue was initialized. At this time ctx->index_hw
for the CPU, which is the index in hctx->ctxs[] for this ctx, is still
zero before blk_mq_queue_reinit_notify() is called by notifier
callbacks for CPU_ONLINE action.
For example, there is a single hw queue (hctx) and two CPU queues
(ctx0 for CPU0, and ctx1 for CPU1). Now CPU1 is just onlined and
a request is inserted into ctx1->rq_list and set bit0 in pending
bitmap as ctx1->index_hw is still zero.
And then while running hw queue, flush_busy_ctxs() finds bit0 is set
in pending bitmap and tries to retrieve requests in
hctx->ctxs[0]->rq_list. But htx->ctxs[0] is a pointer to ctx0, so the
request in ctx1->rq_list is ignored.
Fix it by ensuring that new mapping is established before onlined cpu
starts running.

Suppose that a system has two CPU sockets, three cores per socket,
that it does not support hyperthreading and that four hardware
queues are provided by a block driver. With the current algorithm
this will lead to the following assignment of CPU cores to hardware
queues:
HWQ 0: 0 1
HWQ 1: 2 3
HWQ 2: 4 5
HWQ 3: (none)
This patch changes the queue assignment into:
HWQ 0: 0 1
HWQ 1: 2
HWQ 2: 3 4
HWQ 3: 5
In other words, this patch has the following three effects:
- All four hardware queues are used instead of only three.
- CPU cores are spread more evenly over hardware queues. For the
above example the range of the number of CPU cores associated
with a single HWQ is reduced from [0..2] to [1..2].
- If the number of HWQ's is a multiple of the number of CPU sockets
it is now guaranteed that all CPU cores associated with a single
HWQ reside on the same CPU socket.

Linux currently has two models for block devices:
- The classic request_fn based approach, where drivers use struct
request units for IO. The block layer provides various helper
functionalities to let drivers share code, things like tag
management, timeout handling, queueing, etc.
- The "stacked" approach, where a driver squeezes in between the
block layer and IO submitter. Since this bypasses the IO stack,
driver generally have to manage everything themselves.
With drivers being written for new high IOPS devices, the classic
request_fn based driver doesn't work well enough. The design dates
back to when both SMP and high IOPS was rare. It has problems with
scaling to bigger machines, and runs into scaling issues even on
smaller machines when you have IOPS in the hundreds of thousands
per device.
The stacked approach is then most often selected as the model
for the driver. But this means that everybody has to re-invent
everything, and along with that we get all the problems again
that the shared approach solved.
This commit introduces blk-mq, block multi queue support. The
design is centered around per-cpu queues for queueing IO, which
then funnel down into x number of hardware submission queues.
We might have a 1:1 mapping between the two, or it might be
an N:M mapping. That all depends on what the hardware supports.
blk-mq provides various helper functions, which include:
- Scalable support for request tagging. Most devices need to
be able to uniquely identify a request both in the driver and
to the hardware. The tagging uses per-cpu caches for freed
tags, to enable cache hot reuse.
- Timeout handling without tracking request on a per-device
basis. Basically the driver should be able to get a notification,
if a request happens to fail.
- Optional support for non 1:1 mappings between issue and
submission queues. blk-mq can redirect IO completions to the
desired location.
- Support for per-request payloads. Drivers almost always need
to associate a request structure with some driver private
command structure. Drivers can tell blk-mq this at init time,
and then any request handed to the driver will have the
required size of memory associated with it.
- Support for merging of IO, and plugging. The stacked model
gets neither of these. Even for high IOPS devices, merging
sequential IO reduces per-command overhead and thus
increases bandwidth.
For now, this is provided as a potential 3rd queueing model, with
the hope being that, as it matures, it can replace both the classic
and stacked model. That would get us back to having just 1 real
model for block devices, leaving the stacked approach to dm/md
devices (as it was originally intended).
