This set attempts to improve the quiesce time when using a large set of namespaces, which also improves I/O failover time in a multipath environment. We improve for both non-blocking hctxs (e.g. pci, fc, rdma) and blocking hctxs (e.g. tcp) by splitting queue auiesce to async call_(s)rcu and async_wait to wait for it to complete. Changes from v2: - made blk_mq_quiesce_queue_async operate on both blocking and non-blocking hctxs. - removed separation between blocking vs. non-blocking queues - dropeed patch from Chao - dropped nvme-rdma test patch Changes from v1: - trivial typo fixes Sagi Grimberg (2): blk-mq: add async quiesce interface nvme: improve quiesce time for large amount of namespaces block/blk-mq.c | 32 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ drivers/nvme/host/core.c | 4 +++- include/linux/blk-mq.h | 4 ++++ 3 files changed, 39 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) -- 2.25.1
