[PATCH v2 0/5] blk-mq: abstract tag allocation out into scale_bitmap library

[Omar Sandoval <osandov@osandov.com>]

From: Omar Sandoval <osandov@fb.com>

Here's v2 of the patch making blk-mq's scalable bitmaps a generic
library, now blown up into 5 patches. v1 is here [1].

Changes since v1:

- Return -EINVAL instead of BUG_ON() if an invalid shift is passed to
  the initialization functions.
- Rename last_cache to alloc_hint.
- Split the wait queue allocation change into a separate patch. Patch 1
  should now be a no-op.
- Add patches 3 and 4 to make the API cleaner by pushing some context
  from the blk-mq data structures into the common scale_bitmap code.
- Add patch 5 to randomize the allocation hint on initialization like
  was intended originally for blk-mq.

I ran some fio jobs on top of null-blk and verified that there was no
performance impact from patches 1-4. Patch 5 is a slight win, although I
couldn't come up with a benchmark where the tag allocation is enough of
a bottleneck to see huge benefits. My synthetic test module [2], which
does the scale_bitmap operations directly, shows much better results.

This survived a quick run of xfstests and a battery of benchmarks.
Applies to 4.8-rc5.

Thanks!
