Re: [PATCH v5 1/2] blk-mq: add tagset quiesce interface

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 




drivers that have shared tagsets may need to quiesce potentially a lot
of request queues that all share a single tagset (e.g. nvme). Add an interface
to quiesce all the queues on a given tagset. This interface is useful because
it can speedup the quiesce by doing it in parallel.

For tagsets that have BLK_MQ_F_BLOCKING set, we use call_srcu to all hctxs
in parallel such that all of them wait for the same rcu elapsed period with
a per-hctx heap allocated rcu_synchronize. for tagsets that don't have
BLK_MQ_F_BLOCKING set, we simply call a single synchronize_rcu as this is
sufficient.

This approach of quiesce/unquiesce tagset is good abstraction.

I'm thinking I don't want to use this interface, it quiesce the
connect_q hctxs as well and then I need to unquiesce them which is
awkward...

Just one more thing, please allocate a rcu_sync array because hctx is supposed
to not store scratch stuff.

Sorry, I object to any interface that returns back the rcu_sync
allocation. Its just awkward. really..
