Hello Jens, This is the ninth incarnation of the blk-mq timeout handling rework. All previously posted comments have been addressed. Please consider this patch series for inclusion in the upstream kernel.
Bart. 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.
