John -
I tried V7 series and debug further on mq-deadline interface. This time I
have used another setup since HDD based setup is not readily available for
me.
In fact, I was able to simulate issue very easily using single scsi_device
as well. BTW, this is not an issue with this RFC, but generic issue.
Since I have converted nr_hw_queue > 1 for Broadcom product using this RFC,
It becomes noticeable now.
Problem - Using below command I see heavy CPU utilization on "
native_queued_spin_lock_slowpath". This is because kblockd work queue is
submitting IO from all the CPUs even though fio is bound to single CPU.
Lock contention from " dd_dispatch_request" is causing this issue.
numactl -C 13 fio
single.fio --iodepth=32 --bs=4k --rw=randread --ioscheduler=none --numjobs=1
--cpus_allowed_policy=split --ioscheduler=mq-deadline
--group_reporting --filename=/dev/sdd
While running above command, ideally we expect only kworker/13 to be active.
But you can see below - All the CPU is attempting submission and lots of CPU
consumption is due to lock contention.

I root cause this issue -
Block layer always queue IO on hctx context mapped to CPU-13, but hw queue
run from all the hctx context.
I noticed in my test hctx48 has queued all the IOs. No other hctx has queued
IO. But all the hctx is counting for "run".

Below patch has fix - "Run the hctx queue for which request was completed
instead of running all the hardware queue."
If this looks valid fix, please include in V8 OR I can post separate patch
for this. Just want to have some level of review from this discussion.

After above patch - Only kworker/13 is actively doing submission.

Without above patch - 24 SSD driver can give 1.5M IOPS and after above patch
3.2M IOPS.
I will continue my testing.
