Move completion related items (like the call single data) near the
end of the struct, instead of mixing them in with the initial
queueing related fields.
Move queuelist below the bio structures. Then we have all
queueing related bits in the first cache line.
This yields a 1.5-2% increase in IOPS for a null_blk test, both for
sync and for high thread count access. Sync test goes form 975K to
992K, 32-thread case from 20.8M to 21.2M IOPS.

We reduce the resolution of request expiry, but since we're already
using jiffies for this where resolution depends on the kernel
configuration and since the timeout resolution is coarse anyway,
that should be fine.

We don't need this to be an atomic flag, it can be a regular
flag. We either end up on the same CPU for the polling, in which
case the state is sane, or we did the sleep which would imply
the needed barrier to ensure we see the right state.

hctx_lock() has initialized it.
Just set it to '0' in the normal path in hctx_lock() to silence

With issue/complete and timeout paths now using the generation number
and state based synchronization, blk_abort_request() is the only one
which depends on REQ_ATOM_COMPLETE for arbitrating completion.
There's no reason for blk_abort_request() to be a completely separate
path. This patch makes blk_abort_request() piggyback on the timeout
path instead of trying to terminate the request directly.
This removes the last dependency on REQ_ATOM_COMPLETE in blk-mq.
Note that this makes blk_abort_request() asynchronous - it initiates
abortion but the actual termination will happen after a short while,
even when the caller owns the request. AFAICS, SCSI and ATA should be
fine with that and I think mtip32xx and dasd should be safe but not
completely sure. It'd be great if people who know the drivers take a
look.

Currently, blk-mq timeout path synchronizes against the usual
issue/completion path using a complex scheme involving atomic
bitflags, REQ_ATOM_*, memory barriers and subtle memory coherence
rules. Unfortunately, it contains quite a few holes.
There's a complex dancing around REQ_ATOM_STARTED and
REQ_ATOM_COMPLETE between issue/completion and timeout paths; however,
they don't have a synchronization point across request recycle
instances and it isn't clear what the barriers add.
blk_mq_check_expired() can easily read STARTED from N-2'th iteration,
deadline from N-1'th, blk_mark_rq_complete() against Nth instance.
In fact, it's pretty easy to make blk_mq_check_expired() terminate a
later instance of a request. If we induce 5 sec delay before
time_after_eq() test in blk_mq_check_expired(), shorten the timeout to
2s, and issue back-to-back large IOs, blk-mq starts timing out
requests spuriously pretty quickly. Nothing actually timed out. It
just made the call on a recycle instance of a request and then
terminated a later instance long after the original instance finished.
The scenario isn't theoretical either.
This patch replaces the broken synchronization mechanism with a RCU
and generation number based one.
1. Each request has a u64 generation + state value, which can be
updated only by the request owner. Whenever a request becomes
in-flight, the generation number gets bumped up too. This provides
the basis for the timeout path to distinguish different recycle
instances of the request.
Also, marking a request in-flight and setting its deadline are
protected with a seqcount so that the timeout path can fetch both
values coherently.
2. The timeout path fetches the generation, state and deadline. If
the verdict is timeout, it records the generation into a dedicated
request abortion field and does RCU wait.
3. The completion path is also protected by RCU (from the previous
patch) and checks whether the current generation number and state
match the abortion field. If so, it skips completion.
4. The timeout path, after RCU wait, scans requests again and
terminates the ones whose generation and state still match the ones
requested for abortion.
By now, the timeout path knows that either the generation number
and state changed if it lost the race or the completion will yield
to it and can safely timeout the request.
While it's more lines of code, it's conceptually simpler, doesn't
depend on direct use of subtle memory ordering or coherence, and
hopefully doesn't terminate the wrong instance.
While this change makes REQ_ATOM_COMPLETE synchronization unnecessary
between issue/complete and timeout paths, REQ_ATOM_COMPLETE isn't
removed yet as it's still used in other places. Future patches will
move all state tracking to the new mechanism and remove all bitops in
the hot paths.
Note that this patch adds a comment explaining a race condition in
BLK_EH_RESET_TIMER path. The race has always been there and this
patch doesn't change it. It's just documenting the existing race.
v2: - Fixed BLK_EH_RESET_TIMER handling as pointed out by Jianchao.
- s/request->gstate_seqc/request->gstate_seq/ as suggested by Peter.

- MQ_RQ_IDLE was incorrectly being set in complete_request instead
of free_request. Fixed.
v4: - Rebased on top of hctx_lock() refactoring patch.
- Added comment explaining the use of hctx_lock() in completion path.

Dispatch may still be in-progress after queue is frozen, so we have to
quiesce queue before switching IO scheduler and updating nr_requests.
Also when switching io schedulers, blk_mq_run_hw_queue() may still be
called somewhere(such as from nvme_reset_work()), and io scheduler's
per-hctx data may not be setup yet, so cause oops even inside
blk_mq_hctx_has_pending(), such as it can be run just between:
ret = e->ops.mq.init_sched(q, e);
AND
ret = e->ops.mq.init_hctx(hctx, i)
inside blk_mq_init_sched().
This reverts commit 7a148c2fcff8330(block: don't call blk_mq_quiesce_queue()
after queue is frozen) basically, and makes sure blk_mq_hctx_has_pending
won't be called if queue is quiesced.

If we run out of driver tags, we currently treat shared and non-shared
tags the same - both cases hook into the tag waitqueue. This is a bit
more costly than it needs to be on unshared tags, since we have to both
grab the hctx lock, and the waitqueue lock (and disable interrupts).
For the non-shared case, we can simply mark the queue as needing a
restart.
Split blk_mq_dispatch_wait_add() to account for both cases, and
rename it to blk_mq_mark_tag_wait() to better reflect what it
does now.
Without this patch, shared and non-shared performance is about the same
with 4 fio thread hammering on a single null_blk device (~410K, at 75%
sys). With the patch, the shared case is the same, but the non-shared
tags case runs at 431K at 71% sys.

Currently we are inconsistent in when we decide to run the queue. Using
blk_mq_run_hw_queues() we check if the hctx has pending IO before
running it, but we don't do that from the individual queue run function,
blk_mq_run_hw_queue(). This results in a lot of extra and pointless
queue runs, potentially, on flush requests and (much worse) on tag
starvation situations. This is observable just looking at top output,
with lots of kworkers active. For the !async runs, it just adds to the
CPU overhead of blk-mq.
Move the has-pending check into the run function instead of having
callers do it.
