The 2nd patch return DM_MAPIO_REQUEUE to dm-rq if underlying request allocation fails, then we can return BLK_STS_RESOURCE from dm-rq to blk-mq, so that blk-mq can hold the requests to be dequeued. The other 3 paches changes the blk-mq part of blk_insert_cloned_request(), in which we switch to blk_mq_try_issue_directly(), so that both dm-rq and blk-mq can get the dispatch result of underlying queue, and with this information, blk-mq can handle IO merge much better, then sequential I/O performance is improved much. In my dm-mpath over virtio-scsi test, this improvement can be 3X ~ 5X. V2: - drop 'dm-mpath: cache ti->clone during requeue', which is a bit too complicated, and not see obvious performance improvement. - make change on blk-mq part cleaner Ming Lei (5): dm-mpath: don't call blk_mq_delay_run_hw_queue() in case of BLK_STS_RESOURCE dm-mpath: return DM_MAPIO_REQUEUE in case of rq allocation failure blk-mq: move actual issue into one helper blk-mq: return dispatch result to caller in blk_mq_try_issue_directly blk-mq: issue request directly for blk_insert_cloned_request block/blk-core.c | 3 +- block/blk-mq.c | 88 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++------------ block/blk-mq.h | 3 ++ drivers/md/dm-mpath.c | 18 ++++++++--- drivers/md/dm-rq.c | 20 +++++++++--- 5 files changed, 102 insertions(+), 30 deletions(-) -- 2.9.5
