Hi Here is V8 of the hardware command queue patches without the software command queue patches, now using blk-mq and now with blk-mq support for non-CQE I/O. After the unacceptable debacle of the last release cycle, I expect an immediate response to these patches. HW CMDQ offers 25% - 50% better random multi-threaded I/O. I see a slight 2% drop in sequential read speed but no change to sequential write. Non-CQE blk-mq showed a 3% decrease in sequential read performance. This seemed to be coming from the inferior latency of running work items compared with a dedicated thread. Hacking blk-mq workqueue to be unbound reduced the performance degradation from 3% to 1%. While we should look at changing blk-mq to give better workqueue performance, a bigger gain is likely to be made by adding a new host API to enable the next already-prepared request to be issued directly from within ->done() callback of the current request.

Add a comment about Packed Commands. mmc: mmc: Enable CQE's Remove un-necessary check for MMC_CAP2_CQE mmc: block: Use local variables in mmc_blk_data_prep() New patch. mmc: block: Prepare CQE data Adjust due to "mmc: block: Use local variables in mmc_blk_data_prep()" Remove priority setting. Add explanation to commit message. mmc: cqhci: support for command queue enabled host Fix transfer descriptor setting in cqhci_set_tran_desc() for 32-bit DMA Changes since V3: Adjusted ...blk_end_request...() for new block status codes Fixed CQHCI transaction descriptor for "no DCMD" case Changes since V2: Dropped patches that have been applied. Re-based Added "mmc: sdhci-pci: Add CQHCI support for Intel GLK" Changes since V1: "Share mmc request array between partitions" is dependent on changes in "Introduce queue semantics", so added that and block fixes: Added "Fix is_waiting_last_req set incorrectly" Added "Fix cmd error reset failure path" Added "Use local var for mqrq_cur" Added "Introduce queue semantics" Changes since RFC: Re-based on next. Added comment about command queue priority. Added some acks and reviews.
