The previous patch assigns interrupt vectors to all possible CPUs, so
now hctx can be mapped to possible CPUs, this patch applies this fact
to simplify queue mapping & schedule so that we don't need to handle
CPU hotplug for dealing with physical CPU plug & unplug. With this
simplication, we can work well on physical CPU plug & unplug, which
is a normal use case for VM at least.
Make sure we allocate blk_mq_ctx structures for all possible CPUs, and
set hctx->numa_node for possible CPUs which are mapped to this hctx. And
only choose the online CPUs for schedule.

There's no reason for blk_abort_request() to be a completely separate
path. This patch makes blk_abort_request() piggyback on the timeout
path instead of trying to terminate the request directly.
This removes the last dependency on REQ_ATOM_COMPLETE in blk-mq.
Note that this makes blk_abort_request() asynchronous - it initiates
abortion but the actual termination will happen after a short while,
even when the caller owns the request. AFAICS, SCSI and ATA should be
fine with that and I think mtip32xx and dasd should be safe but not

Currently, blk-mq timeout path synchronizes against the usual
issue/completion path using a complex scheme involving atomic
bitflags, REQ_ATOM_*, memory barriers and subtle memory coherence
rules. Unfortunately, it contains quite a few holes.
There's a complex dancing around REQ_ATOM_STARTED and
REQ_ATOM_COMPLETE between issue/completion and timeout paths; however,
they don't have a synchronization point across request recycle
instances and it isn't clear what the barriers add.
blk_mq_check_expired() can easily read STARTED from N-2'th iteration,
deadline from N-1'th, blk_mark_rq_complete() against Nth instance.
In fact, it's pretty easy to make blk_mq_check_expired() terminate a
later instance of a request. If we induce 5 sec delay before
time_after_eq() test in blk_mq_check_expired(), shorten the timeout to
2s, and issue back-to-back large IOs, blk-mq starts timing out
requests spuriously pretty quickly. Nothing actually timed out. It
just made the call on a recycle instance of a request and then
terminated a later instance long after the original instance finished.
The scenario isn't theoretical either.
This patch replaces the broken synchronization mechanism with a RCU
and generation number based one.
1. Each request has a u64 generation + state value, which can be
updated only by the request owner. Whenever a request becomes
in-flight, the generation number gets bumped up too. This provides
the basis for the timeout path to distinguish different recycle
instances of the request.
Also, marking a request in-flight and setting its deadline are
protected with a seqcount so that the timeout path can fetch both
values coherently.
2. The timeout path fetches the generation, state and deadline. If
the verdict is timeout, it records the generation into a dedicated
request abortion field and does RCU wait.
3. The completion path is also protected by RCU (from the previous
patch) and checks whether the current generation number and state
match the abortion field. If so, it skips completion.
4. The timeout path, after RCU wait, scans requests again and
terminates the ones whose generation and state still match the ones
requested for abortion.
By now, the timeout path knows that either the generation number
and state changed if it lost the race or the completion will yield
to it and can safely timeout the request.
While it's more lines of code, it's conceptually simpler, doesn't
depend on direct use of subtle memory ordering or coherence, and
hopefully doesn't terminate the wrong instance.
While this change makes REQ_ATOM_COMPLETE synchronization unnecessary
between issue/complete and timeout paths, REQ_ATOM_COMPLETE isn't
removed yet as it's still used in other places. Future patches will
move all state tracking to the new mechanism and remove all bitops in
the hot paths.
Note that this patch adds a comment explaining a race condition in
BLK_EH_RESET_TIMER path. The race has always been there and this
patch doesn't change it. It's just documenting the existing race.

For each pair [device for which bfq is selected as I/O scheduler,
group in blkio/io], bfq maintains a corresponding bfq group. Each such
bfq group contains a set of async queues, with each async queue
created on demand, i.e., when some I/O request arrives for it. On
creation, an async queue gets an extra reference, to make sure that
the queue is not freed as long as its bfq group exists. Accordingly,
to allow the queue to be freed after the group exited, this extra
reference must released on group exit.
The above holds also for a bfq root group, i.e., for the bfq group
corresponding to the root blkio/io root for a given device. Yet, by
mistake, the references to the existing async queues of a root group
are not released when the latter exits. This causes a memory leak when
the instance of bfq for a given device exits. In a similar vein,
bfqg_stats_xfer_dead is not executed for a root group.
This commit fixes bfq_pd_offline so that the latter executes the above
missing operations for a root group too.

Bcache needs to scale the dirty data in the cache over the multiple
backing disks in order to calculate writeback rates for each.
The previous code did this by multiplying the target number of dirty
sectors by the backing device size, and expected it to fit into a
uint64_t; this blows up on relatively small backing devices.
The new approach figures out the bdev's share in 16384ths of the overall
cached data. This is chosen to cope well when bdevs drastically vary in
size and to ensure that bcache can cross the petabyte boundary for each
backing device.
This has been improved based on Tang Junhui's feedback to ensure that
every device gets a share of dirty data, no matter how small it is
compared to the total backing pool.
The existing mechanism is very limited; this is purely a bug fix to
remove limits on volume size. However, there still needs to be change
to make this "fair" over many volumes where some are idle.

there is no I/O recovery at all.

Member devices of struct cache_set is used to reference all attached

nr_uuids is calculated in drivers/md/super.c:bch_cache_set_alloc(),
bucket_bytes(c) / sizeof(struct uuid_entry)
Bucket size is determined by user space tool "make-bcache", by default it
is 1024 sectors (defined in bcache-tools/make-bcache.c:main()). So default
nr_uuids value is 4096 from the above calculation.
Every time when bcache code iterates bcache devices of a cache set, all
the 4096 pointers are checked even only 1 bcache device is attached to the
cache set, that's a wast of time and unncessary.
This patch adds a member devices_max_used to struct cache_set. Its value
is 1 + the maximum used index of devices[] in a cache set. When iterating

(struct search)->orig_bio->bi_disk when the closure has done.
Since the `bi_disk` is not the bcache device, the generic_end_io_acct() is
called with a wrong device queue.
It causes the "inflight" (in struct hd_struct) counter keep increasing
without decreasing.
This patch fix the problem by calling generic_end_io_acct() with
(struct bcache_device)->disk.

If the control system would wait for at least half a second, and there's
been no reqs hitting the backing disk for awhile: use an alternate mode
where we have at most one contiguous set of writebacks in flight at a
time. (But don't otherwise delay). If front-end IO appears, it will
still be quick, as it will only have to contend with one real operation
in flight. But otherwise, we'll be sending data to the backing disk as
quickly as it can accept it (with one op at a time).

Writeback keys are presently iterated and dispatched for writeback in
order of the logical block address on the backing device. Multiple may
be, in parallel, read from the cache device and then written back
(especially when there are contiguous I/O).
However-- there was no guarantee with the existing code that the writes
would be issued in LBA order, as the reads from the cache device are
often re-ordered. In turn, when writing back quickly, the backing disk
often has to seek backwards-- this slows writeback and increases
utilization.
This patch introduces an ordering mechanism that guarantees that the
original order of issue is maintained for the write portion of the I/O.
Performance for writeback is significantly improved when there are
multiple contiguous keys or high writeback rates.

In such scenario that there are some flash only volumes
, and some cached devices, when many tasks request these devices in
writeback mode, the write IOs may fall to the same bucket as bellow:
| cached data | flash data | cached data | cached data| flash data|
then after writeback of these cached devices, the bucket would
be like bellow bucket:
| free | flash data | free | free | flash data |
So, there are many free space in this bucket, but since data of flash
only volumes still exists, so this bucket cannot be reclaimable,
which would cause waste of bucket space.
In this patch, we segregate flash only volume write streams from
cached devices, so data from flash only volumes and cached devices
can store in different buckets.
Compare to v1 patch, this patch do not add a additionally open bucket
list, and it is try best to segregate flash only volume write streams
from cached devices, sectors of flash only volumes may still be mixed
with dirty sectors of cached device, but the number is very small.
