[PATCH] megaraid_sas: Enable shared host tag map

[PATCH] megaraid_sas: Enable shared host tag map

[Hannes Reinecke]

The megaraid SAS driver uses a shared host tag map internally,
so we should be telling the block layer about it.

But it doesn't make use of request->tag yet.  This would only be
useful if you got rid of the internal tag allocator.

It is useful as is, as we'll be getting prefixed logging output :-)

But yeah, it would be good to get rid of the internal tag allocator.

Which I didn't do yet as the driver is using a larger tag map than
that one announced to the block layer.
This is to facilitate internal command submission, which should
always work independent on any tag starvation issues from the
upper layers.

So when moving to the generic tag allocation code I'd need:
- an block-layer helper for allocating a tag without a request
  (basically separating the existing blk-tag functionality, easy)
- introducing 'emergency pools' for the tag map, allowing to
  allocate a tag even under I/O pressure.

What I did was to:
- Split off blk_reserve_tag() functionality from blk_start_tag()
  (and similar with blk_end_tag)
- registered the overall size of the shared tag map
- called blk_resize_tags() to shrink it to ->can_queue
- Implemented a 'force' attribute to blk_reserve_tag() to
  allow it to dip into the excess size.

But then I didn't really like this mis-use of the blk_resize_tag()
operation; I'd rather have it marked explicitly.

However, I'm sure megasas isn't the only driver requiring such a
feature (libata eg would benefit from this, too).

Ideas?

Cheers,

Hannes

Hannes,

I just received your reply... My response crossed with yours. I have
attached preview patch for your reference which I refer in my earlier
response.
Megaraid_sas driver will expose only actual IO command queue depth to the
SML and it will manage all internal used commands without taking any help
from SML.

Driver will now expose max_scsi_cmds to the upper layer which will be
lower than actually FW can support max command.
 E.a
+     instance->max_scsi_cmds = instance->max_fw_cmds -
+                               (MEGASAS_FUSION_INTERNAL_CMDS +
+                               MEGASAS_FUSION_IOCTL_CMDS);

We have to do this to make use of existing OS distribution which really
does not support blk_reserve_tag().

This is an "issue" for a lot of drivers.  blk-mq provides a reserved_tags
pool for that, which reserves a number of tags for internal use, those
must be allocated using blk_mq_alloc_request with the reserved argument
set to true.

The lockless hpsa patches expose this to SCSI, which I'm generally
fine with, but we need to find a way to transparently make this work
for the old code path, too.  This might be as simple as embedding a
second blk_queue_tag structure into the Scsi_Host, adding a constant
prefix to the tag and providing some wrappes in scsi that allow
allocating a struct request (or rather scsi_cmnd) for internal use.

I'd rather have a single map to get request/tags from; otherwise
we'd be arbitrarily starving internal requests even though the
'main' tag map is empty.
My plan was more to mark a certain range of tags as 'reserved',
and add another helper/argument to allow to dip into the reserved
pool, too.

A tentative patch is attached.
Idea is to call blk_queue_init_tags() with the actual tag size and
then blk_resize_tags() to limit the number of tags for the request
queue.
The driver can then use 'blk_allocate_tag' with the appropriate max
depth to get tags from the range [max_depth:real_max_depth].

Cheers,

Hannes

At least in blk-mq the assumption is that a driver needs very few
internal tags, and it might need access to them in "emergency"
situations like resets or aborts.

We can add this as optional behavior, but I think the existing blk-mq
behavior is a good default.

I'd much prefer the blk-mq approach with two maps.  Either way please
make sure whatever you come up is compatible with blk-mq.

Just trying to understand your above comment. I see host template has new
field called
"reserved_tags" which is normally used by mid layer to reserved block tag
pool for driver's internal use.
What if driver is OK to manage internal pool without any blk tag
dependency and do not expose actual max can queue of what FW can support.
For example, in megaraid_sas driver FW expose max_fw_cmd = 1024 and driver
keep some reserve (let's say 24 commands for internal use) and it just
expose 1000 command for blk tags.  This will work for blk-mq and legacy
blk driver. Let driver to manage whatever internal reserved it kept for
and do not add any dependency with blk tag from above layer for those
reserved pool.

The driver can of coure always just manage its internal tags, but that
means we need to duplicate a tag allocator in every driver.  In short
it works ok for now, but I'd rather solve the problem in a single place.

I have patch for code changes in this particular area and that is
currently under internal test cycle.

Next patch series will start using shared blk tag for internal MPT frame
allocation. It will get-rid-off  MPT frame pool link list completely and
also does lots of refactor w.r.t MFI/MPT frame corruption issue. Using
shared blk tag gave good performance improvement as driver completely
removed mpt frame spin lock used in megasas_get_cmd_fusion/
megasas_return_cmd_fusion.
