This converts the current NVMe driver to utilize the blk-mq layer.


Looks it can't be applied cleanly against 3.15-rc8 + Jens's for-linux
branch, when I fix the conflict manually, below failure is triggered:

when running fio randread(libaio, iodepth:64) with more than 3 jobs.

And looks no such failure when jobs is 1 or 2.


It's a known issue, make sure you have this patch:

https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v1/url?u=http://git.kernel.dk/?p%3Dlinux-block.git%3Ba%3Dcommit%3Bh%3Df6be4fb4bcb396fc3b1c134b7863351972de081f&k=ZVNjlDMF0FElm4dQtryO4A%3D%3D%0A&r=3JMVyziIyZtZ5cv9eWNLwQ%3D%3D%0A&m=04gqJgKKgVgGynQnyGFy4OmxWZ5%2FJ%2FwBiXQH3K%2BEZ4U%3D%0A&s=b137111b72079e93492763bfa23fd3458cd9b287a5eb3b68f61b69c9cda6b7a5

Looks assignment to 'rq->deadline' in blk_mq_start_request()
may be removed, since blk_add_timer() already did that.

But that isn't the only issue.

Another one is that req->start_time isn't set without IO_STAT in
nvme, which may cause similar issue too, so req->start_time
can be set in nvme's queue_rq callback.

My real issue should be nvme specific: NVME_INTERNAL_DEV_ERROR(0x6) is
returned from device
with the conversion patch, but no such issue in current bio mode.

You are right, I didn't get to the bottom of the thread first.
Might be better to just have ->start_time set always, regardless of io stats being enabled or not.
