Re: [PATCH v7.1] block: Coordinate flush requests

Hello,

I ended up with a different design. Still buggy. It triggers a weird
oops under stress test but other than that things generally seem to
work as expected. Please read the comment at the top of blk-flush.c
for more info. I'll post properly after more testing and debugging.

Thanks.

+ * REQ_{FLUSH|FUA} requests are decomposed to sequences composed of three
+ * optional steps - PREFLUSH, DATA and POSTFLUSH - according to the request
+ * properties and hardware capability.
+ *
+ * If a request doesn't have data, only REQ_FLUSH makes sense, which
+ * indicates a simple flush request. If there is data, REQ_FLUSH indicates
+ * that the device cache should be flushed before the data is executed, and
+ * REQ_FUA means that the data must be on non-volatile media on request
+ * completion.
+ *
+ * If the device doesn't have writeback cache, FLUSH and FUA don't make any
+ * difference. The requests are either completed immediately if there's no
+ * data or executed as normal requests.
+ *
+ * If the device has writeback cache and supports FUA, REQ_FLUSH is
+ * translated to PREFLUSH but REQ_FUA is passed down directly with the data
+ * request.
+ *
+ * If the device has writeback cache and doesn't support FUA, REQ_FLUSH is
+ * translated to PREFLUSH and REQ_FUA to POSTFLUSH.
+ *
+ * The actual execution of flush is double buffered. Whenever a request
+ * needs to execute PRE or POSTFLUSH, it queues at
+ * q->flush_queue[q->flush_pending_idx]. Once certain criteria are met,
+ * flush is issued and pending_idx is toggled. When the flush completes,
+ * all the requests which were pending are proceeded to the next step.
+ * This allows near optimal merging of flush requests.
+ *
+ * Currently, the following conditions are used to determine when to issue
+ * flush.
+ *
+ * C1. At any given time, only one flush shall be in progress. This makes
+ * double buffering sufficient.
+ *
+ * C2. Flush is not deferred if any request is executing the data part of
+ * its sequence. This avoids issuing separate POSTFLUSHes for requests
+ * which shared PREFLUSH.
+ *
+ * C3. The second condition is ignored if there is a request which has
+ * waited longer than FLUSH_PENDING_TIMEOUT. This is to avoid
+ * starvation in the unlikely case where there are continuous stream of
+ * FUA (without FLUSH) requests.
+ *
+ * Note that a sequenced FLUSH/FUA request with data is completed twice.
+ * Once while executing the data part and again after the whole sequence is
+ * complete. The first completion updates the contained bio but doesn't
+ * finish it so that the bio submitter is notified only after the whole
+ * sequence is complete. This is implemented by testing REQ_FLUSH_SEQ in
+ * req_bio_endio().
+ *
+ * The above peculiarity requires that each FLUSH/FUA request has only one
+ * bio attached to it, which is guaranteed as they aren't allowed to be
+ * merged in the usual way.
