Hello Jens,
One of the pieces that is missing before blk-mq can be made the default is
implementing runtime power management support for blk-mq. This patch series
not only implements runtime power management for blk-mq but also fixes a
starvation issue in the power management code for the legacy block
layer. Please consider this patch series for the upstream kernel.
Thanks,
Bart.
Changes compared to v8:
- Fixed the race that was reported by Jianchao and Ming.
- Fixed another spelling issue in a source code comment.
Changes compared to v7:
- Addressed Jianchao's feedback about patch "Make blk_get_request() block for
non-PM requests while suspended".
- Added two new patches - one that documents the functions that iterate over
requests and one that introduces a new function that iterates over all
requests associated with a queue.
Changes compared to v6:
- Left out the patches that split RQF_PREEMPT in three flags.
- Left out the patch that introduces the SCSI device state SDEV_SUSPENDED.
- Left out the patch that introduces blk_pm_runtime_exit().
- Restored the patch that changes the PREEMPT_ONLY flag into a counter.
Changes compared to v5:
- Introduced a new flag RQF_DV that replaces RQF_PREEMPT for SCSI domain
validation.
- Introduced a new request queue state QUEUE_FLAG_DV_ONLY for SCSI domain
validation.
- Instead of using SDEV_QUIESCE for both runtime suspend and SCSI domain
validation, use that state for domain validation only and introduce a new
state for runtime suspend, namely SDEV_QUIESCE.
- Reallow system suspend during SCSI domain validation.
- Moved the runtime resume call from the request allocation code into
blk_queue_enter().
- Instead of relying on q_usage_counter, iterate over the tag set to determine
whether or not any requests are in flight.
Changes compared to v4:
- Dropped the patches "Give RQF_PREEMPT back its original meaning" and
"Serialize queue freezing and blk_pre_runtime_suspend()".
- Replaced "percpu_ref_read()" with "percpu_is_in_use()".
- Inserted pm_request_resume() calls in the block layer request allocation
code such that the context that submits a request no longer has to call
pm_runtime_get().
Changes compared to v3:
- Avoid adverse interactions between system-wide suspend/resume and runtime
power management by changing the PREEMPT_ONLY flag into a counter.
- Give RQF_PREEMPT back its original meaning, namely that it is only set for
ide_preempt requests.
- Remove the flag BLK_MQ_REQ_PREEMPT.
- Removed the pm_request_resume() call.
Changes compared to v2:
- Fixed the build for CONFIG_BLOCK=n.
- Added a patch that introduces percpu_ref_read() in the percpu-counter code.
- Added a patch that makes it easier to detect missing pm_runtime_get*() calls.
- Addressed Jianchao's feedback including the comment about runtime overhead
of switching a per-cpu counter to atomic mode.
Changes compared to v1:
- Moved the runtime power management code into a separate file.
- Addressed Ming's feedback.
