[RFC PATCH 0/7] blk-mq: improvement on handling IO during CPU hotplug

[Ming Lei <ming.lei@redhat.com>]

Hi,

Thomas mentioned:
    "
     That was the constraint of managed interrupts from the very beginning:
    
      The driver/subsystem has to quiesce the interrupt line and the associated
      queue _before_ it gets shutdown in CPU unplug and not fiddle with it
      until it's restarted by the core when the CPU is plugged in again.
    "

But no drivers or blk-mq do that before one hctx becomes dead(all
CPUs for one hctx are offline), and even it is worse, blk-mq stills tries
to run hw queue after hctx is dead, see blk_mq_hctx_notify_dead().

This patchset tries to address the issue by two stages:

1) add one new cpuhp state of CPUHP_AP_BLK_MQ_ONLINE

- mark the hctx as internal stopped, and drain all in-flight requests
if the hctx is going to be dead.

2) re-submit IO in the state of CPUHP_BLK_MQ_DEAD after the hctx becomes dead

- steal bios from the request, and resubmit them via generic_make_request(),
then these IO will be mapped to other live hctx for dispatch

Please comment & review, thanks!


Ming Lei (7):
  blk-mq: add new state of BLK_MQ_S_INTERNAL_STOPPED
  blk-mq: add blk-mq flag of BLK_MQ_F_NO_MANAGED_IRQ
  blk-mq: stop to handle IO before hctx's all CPUs become offline
  blk-mq: add callback of .free_request
  SCSI: implement .free_request callback
  blk-mq: re-submit IO in case that hctx is dead
  blk-mq: handle requests dispatched from IO scheduler in case that hctx
    is dead
