[PATCH v2 1/5] block: cleanup and export bdev IO inflight APIs

[Yu Kuai]

From: Yu Kuai <yukuai3@huawei.com>

- rename part_in_{flight, flight_rw} and to bdev_count_{inflight,
  inflight_rw}.
- export bdev_count_inflight_rw, to fix a problem in mdraid that foreground
  IO can be starved by background sync IO in later patches.
- reuse bdev_count_inflight_rw for bdev_count_inflight, also add warning if
  inflight is negative, means related driver is buggy.
- remove unused blk_mq_in_flight
- rename blk_mq_in_flight_rw to blk_mq_count_in_driver_rw, to distinguish
  from bdev_count_inflight_rw.

I'm not sure why this is needed or related, or even what additional
distinction is added here.

Any reason to move away from two tab indents for the prototype
continuations in various places in this patch?

I'd just change this helper to call blk_mq_count_in_driver_rw for
blk-mq devices and remove the conditional from the sysfs code instead.
That gives us a much more robust and easier to understand API.

Overly long line.

Maybe keep this inside of block as it should not not be used by
drivers?  Also the reimplementation should probably be a separate
patch from the public API change and exporting.

Because for rq-based device, there are two different stage,
blk_account_io_start() while allocating new rq, and
blk_mq_start_request() while issuing the rq to driver.

When will we think the reqeust is inflight? For iostat, my anser is the
former one, because rq->start_time_ns is set here as well. And noted in
iostats api diskstats_show（/proc/diskstats) and part_stat_show
(/sys/block/sda/stat), inflight is get by part_in_flight, which is
different from disk sysfs api(/sys/block/sda/inflight).

ok, and I should probably send the first set just related to this patch
first.

Trying to express this in a not very obvious function name isn't
going to work very well.  Documenting your findings in comments is
much better.

Yes.

[PATCH v2 2/5] md: record dm-raid gendisk in mddev

[Yu Kuai]

From: Yu Kuai <yukuai3@huawei.com>

Following patch will use gendisk to check if there are normal IO
completed or inflight, to fix a problem in mdraid that foreground IO
can be starved by background sync IO in later patches.

[PATCH v2 3/5] md: add a new api sync_io_depth

[Yu Kuai]

From: Yu Kuai <yukuai3@huawei.com>

Currently if sync speed is above speed_min and below speed_max,
md_do_sync() will wait for all sync IOs to be done before issuing new
sync IO, means sync IO depth is limited to just 1.

This limit is too low, in order to prevent sync speed drop conspicuously
after fixing is_mddev_idle() in the next patch, add a new api for
limiting sync IO depth, the default value is 32.

[PATCH v2 4/5] md: fix is_mddev_idle()

[Yu Kuai]

From: Yu Kuai <yukuai3@huawei.com>

If sync_speed is above speed_min, then is_mddev_idle() will be called
for each sync IO to check if the array is idle, and inflihgt sync_io
will be limited if the array is not idle.

However, while mkfs.ext4 for a large raid5 array while recovery is in
progress, it's found that sync_speed is already above speed_min while
lots of stripes are used for sync IO, causing long delay for mkfs.ext4.

Root cause is the following checking from is_mddev_idle():

t1: submit sync IO: events1 = completed IO - issued sync IO
t2: submit next sync IO: events2  = completed IO - issued sync IO
if (events2 - events1 > 64)

For consequence, the more sync IO issued, the less likely checking will
pass. And when completed normal IO is more than issued sync IO, the
condition will finally pass and is_mddev_idle() will return false,
however, last_events will be updated hence is_mddev_idle() can only
return false once in a while.

Fix this problem by changing the checking as following:

1) mddev doesn't have normal IO completed;
2) mddev doesn't have normal IO inflight;
3) if any member disks is partition, and all other partitions doesn't
   have IO completed.

Can we use another name? Because mddev has events counter. This name

Sorry for the late reply.

Sure, how about, normal_IO_events?

It looks much better, thanks for this. I guess it's a typo error about
uppercase IO, right? We usually use lowercase.

It's no longer used and can be removed, also remove the field
'gendisk->sync_io'.
