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 inactive(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

Thanks John Garry for running lots of tests on arm64 with this patchset
and co-working on investigating all kinds of issues.

Please comment & review, thanks!

This is pretty solid now. I get no SCSI timeouts with my test script (at the bottom). Thanks to Ming for this.

V7:
	- fix updating .nr_active in get_driver_tag
	- add hctx->cpumask check in cpuhp handler
	- only drain requests which tag is >= 0
	- pass more aggressive cpuhotplug&io test

V6:
	- simplify getting driver tag, so that we can drain in-flight
	  requests correctly without using synchronize_rcu()
	- handle re-submission of flush & passthrough request correctly

V5:
	- rename BLK_MQ_S_INTERNAL_STOPPED as BLK_MQ_S_INACTIVE
	- re-factor code for re-submit requests in cpu dead hotplug handler
	- address requeue corner case

V4:
	- resubmit IOs in dispatch list in case that this hctx is dead

V3:
	- re-organize patch 2 & 3 a bit for addressing Hannes's comment
	- fix patch 4 for avoiding potential deadlock, as found by Hannes

V2:
	- patch4 & patch 5 in V1 have been merged to block tree, so remove
	  them
	- address comments from John Garry and Minwoo


Ming Lei (9):
   blk-mq: mark blk_mq_get_driver_tag as static
   blk-mq: assign rq->tag in blk_mq_get_driver_tag
   blk-mq: prepare for draining IO when hctx's all CPUs are offline
   blk-mq: support rq filter callback when iterating rqs
   blk-mq: stop to handle IO and drain IO before hctx becomes inactive
   block: add blk_end_flush_machinery
   blk-mq: re-submit IO in case that hctx is inactive
   blk-mq: handle requests dispatched from IO scheduler in case of
     inactive hctx
   block: deactivate hctx when the hctx is actually inactive
