Hi,
Thomas mentioned:
"
That was the constraint of managed interrupts from the very beginning:
The driver/subsystem has to quiesce the interrupt line and the associated
queue _before_ it gets shutdown in CPU unplug and not fiddle with it
until it's restarted by the core when the CPU is plugged in again.
"
But no drivers or blk-mq do that before one hctx becomes dead(all
CPUs for one hctx are offline), and even it is worse, blk-mq stills tries
to run hw queue after hctx is dead, see blk_mq_hctx_notify_dead().
This patchset tries to address the issue by two stages:
1) add one new cpuhp state of CPUHP_AP_BLK_MQ_ONLINE
- mark the hctx as internal stopped, and drain all in-flight requests
if the hctx is going to be dead.
2) re-submit IO in the state of CPUHP_BLK_MQ_DEAD after the hctx becomes dead
- steal bios from the request, and resubmit them via generic_make_request(),
then these IO will be mapped to other live hctx for dispatch
Please comment & review, thanks!
V2:
- patch4 & patch 5 in V1 have been merged to block tree, so remove
them
- address comments from John Garry and Minwoo
Ming Lei (5):
blk-mq: add new state of BLK_MQ_S_INTERNAL_STOPPED
blk-mq: add blk-mq flag of BLK_MQ_F_NO_MANAGED_IRQ
blk-mq: stop to handle IO before hctx's all CPUs become offline
blk-mq: re-submit IO in case that hctx is dead
blk-mq: handle requests dispatched from IO scheduler in case that hctx
is dead
