[PATCH v6 00/11] mq-deadline: Improve support for zoned block devices

[PATCH v6 00/11] mq-deadline: Improve support for zoned block devices

[Bart Van Assche]

Hi Jens,

This patch series improves support for zoned block devices in the mq-deadline
scheduler by preserving the order of requeued writes (REQ_OP_WRITE and
REQ_OP_WRITE_ZEROES).

Please consider this patch series for the next merge window.

Thanks,

Bart.

Changes compared to v5:
- Added a patch with a grammar fix for a source code comment.
- Renamed op_is_zoned_write() into op_needs_zoned_write_locking().
- Dropped patch "block: mq-deadline: Improve deadline_skip_seq_writes()".

Changes compared to v4:
- Changed blk_rq_is_seq_zoned_write() into an inline function.
- Reworked patch "Reduce lock contention" such that all merged requests are
  freed at once.

Changes compared to v3:
- Addressed Christoph's review feedback.
- Dropped patch "block: Micro-optimize blk_req_needs_zone_write_lock()".
- Added three new patches:
  * block: Fix the type of the second bdev_op_is_zoned_write() argument
  * block: Introduce op_is_zoned_write()
  * block: mq-deadline: Reduce lock contention

Changes compared to v2:
- In the patch that micro-optimizes blk_req_needs_zone_write_lock(), inline
  bdev_op_is_zoned_write() instead of modifying it.
- In patch "block: Introduce blk_rq_is_seq_zoned_write()", converted "case
  REQ_OP_ZONE_APPEND" into a source code comment.
- Reworked deadline_skip_seq_writes() as suggested by Christoph.
- Dropped the patch that disabled head insertion for zoned writes.
- Dropped patch "mq-deadline: Fix a race condition related to zoned writes".
- Reworked handling of requeued requests: the 'next_rq' pointer has been
  removed and instead the position of the most recently dispatched request is
  tracked.
- Dropped the patches for tracking zone capacity and for restricting the number
  of active zones.

Changes compared to v1:
- Left out the patches related to request insertion and requeuing since
  Christoph is busy with reworking these patches.
- Added a patch for enforcing the active zone limit.

[PATCH v6 02/11] block: Simplify blk_req_needs_zone_write_lock()

[Bart Van Assche]

Remove the blk_rq_is_passthrough() check because it is redundant:
blk_req_needs_zone_write_lock() also calls bdev_op_is_zoned_write()
and the latter function returns false for pass-through requests.

[Bart Van Assche]

Change the type of the second argument of bdev_op_is_zoned_write() from
blk_opf_t into enum req_op because this function expects an operation
without flags as second argument.

in this series.

[PATCH v6 05/11] block: Introduce blk_rq_is_seq_zoned_write()

[Bart Van Assche]

Introduce the function blk_rq_is_seq_zoned_write(). This function will
be used in later patches to preserve the order of zoned writes that
require write serialization.

This patch includes an optimization: instead of using
rq->q->disk->part0->bd_queue to check whether or not the queue is
associated with a zoned block device, use rq->q->disk->queue.

[PATCH v6 09/11] block: mq-deadline: Track the dispatch position

[Bart Van Assche]

Track the position (sector_t) of the most recently dispatched request
instead of tracking a pointer to the next request to dispatch. This
patch is the basis for patch "Handle requeued requests correctly".
Without this patch it would be significantly more complicated to make
sure that zoned writes are dispatched in LBA order per zone.

[PATCH v6 10/11] block: mq-deadline: Handle requeued requests correctly

[Bart Van Assche]

Start dispatching from the start of a zone instead of from the starting
position of the most recently dispatched request.

If a zoned write is requeued with an LBA that is lower than already
inserted zoned writes, make sure that it is submitted first.

[PATCH v6 11/11] block: mq-deadline: Fix handling of at-head zoned writes

[Bart Van Assche]

Before dispatching a zoned write from the FIFO list, check whether there
are any zoned writes in the RB-tree with a lower LBA for the same zone.
This patch ensures that zoned writes happen in order even if at_head is
set for some writes for a zone and not for others.

Replying to this patch as there is no cover letter.

I gave this series a spin yesterday using a 26TB SMR drive. No issues detected
and no performance regression that I can see. Tested on top of 6.4-rc2.

So feel free to add:

I still think that time_is_before_eq_jiffies() should really be named
time_after_eq_jiffies() though, but that is a different patch :)

Thanks Damien!

BTW, it seems like Lore received the cover letter. See also
