[PATCH] [RFC] um: Convert ubd driver to blk-mq
From: Richard Weinberger
Date: Sun Nov 26 2017 - 08:11:19 EST
This is the first attempt to convert the UserModeLinux block driver
(UBD) to blk-mq.
While the conversion itself is rather trivial, a few questions
popped up in my head. Maybe you can help me with them.
MAX_SG is 64, used for blk_queue_max_segments(). This comes from
a0044bdf60c2 ("uml: batch I/O requests"). Is this still a good/sane
value for blk-mq?
The driver does IO batching, for each request it issues many UML struct
io_thread_req request to the IO thread on the host side.
One io_thread_req per SG page.
Before the conversion the driver used blk_end_request() to indicate that
a part of the request is done.
blk_mq_end_request() does not take a length parameter, therefore we can
only mark the whole request as done. See the new is_last property on the
driver.
Maybe there is a way to partially end requests too in blk-mq?
Another obstacle with IO batching is that UML IO thread requests can
fail. Not only due to OOM, also because the pipe between the UML kernel
process and the host IO thread can return EAGAIN.
In this case the driver puts the request into a list and retried later
again when the pipe turns writable.
Iâm not sure whether this restart logic makes sense with blk-mq, maybe
there is a way in blk-mq to put back a (partial) request?
