[PATCH v8 00/18] blk-mq/scsi: Provide hostwide shared tags for SCSI HBAs
Hi all,

Here is v8 of the patchset.

In this version of the series, we keep the shared sbitmap for driver tags,
and introduce changes to fix up the tag budgeting across request queues.
We also have a change to count requests per-hctx for when an elevator is
enabled, as an optimisation. I also dropped the debugfs changes - more on
that below.

Some performance figures:

Using 12x SAS SSDs on hisi_sas v3 hw. mq-deadline results are included,
but it is not always an appropriate scheduler to use.

Tag depth 4000 (default) 260**

Baseline (v5.9-rc1):
none sched: 2094K IOPS 513K
mq-deadline sched: 2145K IOPS 1336K

Final, host_tagset=0 in LLDD *, ***:
none sched: 2120K IOPS 550K
mq-deadline sched: 2121K IOPS 1309K

Final ***:
none sched: 2132K IOPS 1185
mq-deadline sched: 2145K IOPS 2097

* this is relevant as this is the performance in supporting but not
enabling the feature
** depth=260 is relevant as some point where we are regularly waiting for
tags to be available. Figures were are a bit unstable here.
*** Included "[PATCH V4] scsi: core: only re-run queue in
scsi_end_request() if device queue is busy"

A copy of the patches can be found here:
https://github.com/hisilicon/kernel-dev/tree/private-topic-blk-mq-shared-tags-v8

The hpsa patch depends on:
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-scsi/20200430131904.5847-1-hare@suse.de/

And the smartpqi patch is not to be accepted.

Comments (and testing) welcome, thanks!

Differences to v7:
- Add null_blk and scsi_debug support
- Drop debugfs tags patch - it's too difficult to be the same between
hostwide and non-hostwide, as discussed:

And from commit 6bf0eb550452 ("sbitmap: Consider cleared bits in
sbitmap_bitmap_show()"), I guess not many used this anyway...
- Add elevator per-hctx request count for optimisation
- Break up "blk-mq: rename blk_mq_update_tag_set_depth()" into 2x patches
- Pass flags for avoid per-hq queue tags init/free for hostwide tags
- Add Don's reviewed-tag and tested-by tags to appropiate patches
- (@Don, please let me know if issue with how I did this)
- Add "scsi: core: Show nr_hw_queues in sysfs"
- Rework megaraid SAS patch to have module param (Kashyap)
- rebase

Re: [PATCH v8 00/18] blk-mq/scsi: Provide hostwide shared tags for SCSI HBAs [ In reply to ]
Hi Jens,

I was wondering if you could kindly consider the block changes in this
series, since I have now dropped the RFC flag?

I guess patch 5/18 (using pointers to bitmaps) would be of first
concern. We did discuss this previously, and I think what we're doing
now could be considered satisfactory.

Thanks,
john

I tested this v8 patchset on MKP's 5.10/scsi-queue branch together with
my rewritten sg driver on my laptop and a Ryzen 5 3600 machine. Since I
don't have same hardware, I use the scsi_debug driver as the target:

modprobe scsi_debug dev_size_mb=1024 sector_size=512 add_host=7
per_host_store=1 ndelay=1000 random=1 submit_queues=12

My test is a script which runs these three commands many times with
differing parameters:

sg_mrq_dd iflag=random bs=512 of=/dev/sg8 thr=64 time=2
time to transfer data was 0.312705 secs, 3433.72 MB/sec
2097152+0 records in
2097152+0 records out

sg_mrq_dd bpt=256 thr=64 mrq=36 time=2 if=/dev/sg8 bs=512 of=/dev/sg9
time to transfer data was 0.212090 secs, 5062.67 MB/sec
2097152+0 records in
2097152+0 records out

sg_mrq_dd --verify if=/dev/sg8 of=/dev/sg9 bs=512 bpt=256 thr=64 mrq=36 time=2
Doing verify/cmp rather than copy
time to transfer data was 0.184563 secs, 5817.75 MB/sec
2097152+0 records in
2097152+0 records verified

The above is the output from last section of the my script run on the Ryzen 5.

So the three steps are:
1) produce random data on /dev/sg8
2) copy /dev/sg8 to /dev/sg9
3) verify /dev/sg8 and /dev/sg9 are the same.

The latter step is done with a sequence of READ(/dev/sg8) and
VERIFY(BYTCHK=1 on /dev/sg9). The "mrq" stands for multiple requests (in
one invocation; the bsg driver did that before its write(2) command was
removed.
The SCSI devices on the Ryzen 5 machine are:

# lsscsi -gs
[2:0:0:0] disk IBM-207x HUSMM8020ASS20 J4B6 /dev/sda /dev/sg0 200GB

[N:0:1:1] disk WDC WDS250G2B0C-00PXH0__1 /dev/nvme0n1 - 250GB

My script took 17m12 and the highest throughput (on a copy) was 7.5 GB/sec.
Then I reloaded the scsi_debug module, this time with an additional
'host_max_queue=128' parameter. The script run time was 5 seconds shorter
and the maximum throughput was around 7.6 GB/sec. [Average throughput is
around 4 GB/sec.]

For comparison:

# time liburing/examples/io_uring-cp /dev/sdh /dev/sdi
real 0m1.542s
user 0m0.004s
sys 0m1.027s

Umm, that's less then 1 GB/sec. In its defence io_uring-cp is an
extremely simple, single threaded, proof-of-concept copy program,
at least compared to sg_mrq_dd . As used by the sg_mrq_dd the
rewritten sg driver bypasses moving 1 GB to and from the _user_
space while doing the above copy and verify steps.

I applied 1-11, leaving the SCSI core bits and drivers to Martin. I can
also carry them, just let me know.

Great, thanks!

So the SCSI parts depend on the block parts for building, so I guess it
makes sense if you could carry them also.

hpsa and smartpqi patches are pending for now, but the rest could be
picked up. Martin/James may want more review of the SCSI core bits, though.

Thanks again,
John

I'll take a look later today.

Anything which I resend would need to be against Jens' tree (and not
Martin's), assuming Jens will carry them also. So I am not sure how that
will help.

JFYI, I just tested against today's linux-next, and the SCSI parts (hpsa
and smartpqi omitted) still apply there without conflict.

Thanks,
John

Now that Jens merged the block bits in his tree, wouldn't it be better
to re-send the SCSI bits only, thereby avoiding a potential merge error
later on?

Hi Martin,

Have you had a chance to check these outstanding SCSI patches?

scsi: hisi_sas: Switch v3 hw to MQ
scsi: core: Show nr_hw_queues in sysfs
scsi: Add host and host template flag 'host_tagset'

Cheers,

These look good to me.

Hi Jens,

I'm waiting on the hpsa and smartpqi patches update, so please kindly
merge only those patches, above.

Thanks!

John, the hpsa driver crashes, the or more patches to allow internal commands from Hannas seem to be missing.

I'll let you know exactly which ones soon.

Thanks,

Hi Don,

Right, that branch did not include Hannes patches as they did not apply
cleanly, but I think that you need the same patches as before. I can
create a branch for you to test which does include those tomorrow - let
me know.

Alternatively I think that we could create a hpsa patch which does not
rely on that series, like I mentioned here [0], but it would not be as
clean.

Cheers,
John

JFYI, I put the reserved command v6 patchset and $subject patchset on
this branch:

https://github.com/hisilicon/kernel-dev/commits/private-topic-blk-mq-shared-tags-rfc-v8-resv-v6-baseline

I don't have HW to test hpsa or smartpqi.

Thanks,
John

Hi Jens, Gentle ping. I am not able to find commits for above listed scsi
patches. I want to use your repo which has above mentioned patch for
<scsi:io_uring iopoll> patch submission. Martin has Acked the scsi
patches.

Sorry about the delay, picked up these 5 patches.
