[PATCHSET/RFC v2] Make legacy IO schedulers work with blk-mq

Show all headers | View raw

Version 2 of the hack/patchset, that enables blk-mq to use the legacy
IO schedulers with single queue devices. Original posting is here:

https://marc.info/?l=linux-block&m=148073493203664&w=2

You can also found this version in the following git branch:

git://git.kernel.dk/linux-block blk-mq-legacy-sched.2

and new developments/fixes will happen in the 'blk-mq-legacy-sched'
branch.

Changes since v1:

- Remove the default 'deadline' hard wiring, and provide Kconfig
  entries to set the blk-mq scheduler. This now works like for legacy
  devices.

- Rename blk_use_mq_path() to blk_use_sched_path() to make it more
  clear. Suggested by Johannes Thumshirn.

- Fixup a spot where we did not use the accessor function to determine
  what path to use.

- Flush mq software queues, even if IO scheduler managed. This should
  make paths work that are MQ aware, and using only MQ interfaces.

- Cleanup free path of MQ request.

- Account when IO was queued to a hardware context, similarly to the
  regular MQ path.

- Add BLK_MQ_F_NO_SCHED flag, so that drivers can explicitly ask for
  no scheduling on a queue. Add this for NVMe admin queues.

- Kill BLK_MQ_F_SCHED, since we now have Kconfig entries for setting
  the desired IO scheduler.

- Fix issues with live scheduler switching through sysfs. Should now
  be solid, even with lots of IO running on the device.

- Drop null_blk and SCSI changes, not needed anymore.
