[PATCH RFC 0/4] blk-mq: support runtime PM

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

 



Hi Guys,

Runtime PM is usually enabled for SCSI devices, and we are switching to
SCSI_MQ recently, but runtime PM isn't supported yet by blk-mq, and
people may complain that.

This patch tries to support runtime PM for blk-mq. And one chanllenge is
that it can be quite expensive to account the active in-flight IOs for
figuring out when to mark the last busy. This patch simply marks busy
after each non-PM IO is done, and this way is workable because:

1) pm_runtime_mark_last_busy() is very cheap

2) in-flight non-PM IO is checked in blk_pre_runtime_suspend(), so
if there is any IO queued, the device will be prevented from being
suspened.

3) Generally speaking, autosuspend_delay_ms is often big, and should
be in unit of second, so it shouldn't be a big deal to check if queue
is idle in blk_pre_runtime_suspend().

Ming Lei (4):
  blk-mq: introduce blk_mq_support_runtime_pm()
  blk-mq: introduce blk_mq_pm_queue_idle()
  blk-mq: prepare for supporting runtime PM
  scsi_mq: enable runtime PM
