[PATCH 2/2] block/mq-deadline: Fix the tag reservation code

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



The current tag reservation code is based on a misunderstanding of the
meaning of data->shallow_depth. Fix the tag reservation code as follows:
* By default, do not reserve any tags for synchronous requests because
  for certain use cases reserving tags reduces performance. See also
  Harshit Mogalapalli, [bug-report] Performance regression with fio
  sequential-write on a multipath setup, 2024-03-07
  (https://lore.kernel.org/linux-block/5ce2ae5d-61e2-4ede-ad55-551112602401@xxxxxxxxxx/)
* Reduce min_shallow_depth to one because min_shallow_depth must be less
  than or equal any shallow_depth value.
* Scale dd->async_depth from the range [1, nr_requests] to [1,
  bits_per_sbitmap_word].
