Hi all,

I noticed that sbitmap_bitmap_show() only shows set bits and does not consider cleared bits. Is that the proper thing to do?

I ask, as from trying to support sbitmap_bitmap_show() for hostwide shared tags feature, we currently use blk_mq_queue_tag_busy_iter() to find active requests (and associated tags/bits) for a particular hctx. So, AFAICT, would give a change in behavior for sbitmap_bitmap_show(), in that it would effectively show set and not cleared bits.

Why would you need to do this?
Where would be the point traversing cleared bits?

I'm not talking about traversing cleared bits specifically. I just think that today sbitmap_bitmap_show() only showing the bits in sbitmap_word.word may not be useful or even misleading, as in reality the "set" bits are sbitmap_word.word & ~sbitmap_word.cleared.

And for hostwide shared tags feature, iterating the busy rqs to find the per-hctx tags/bits would effectively give us the "set" bits, above, so there would be a difference.


As an example, here's a sample tags_bitmap output:

00000000: 00f0 0fff 03c0 0000 0000 0000 efff fdff
00000010: 0000 c0f7 7fff ffff 0000 00e0 fef7 ffff
00000020: 0000 0000 f0ff ffff 0000 ffff 01d0 ffff
00000030: 0f80

And here's what we would have taking cleared bits into account:

00000000: 00f0 0fff 03c0 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 (20 bits set)
00000010: 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000
00000020: 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 f8ff 0110 8000 (16 bits set)
00000030: 0f00					  (1 bit set)

Here's tags file output:

nr_tags=400
nr_reserved_tags=0
active_queues=2

bitmap_tags:
depth=400
busy=40
cleared=182
bits_per_word=64
map_nr=7
alloc_hint={22, 0, 0, 0, 103, 389, 231, 57, 377, 167, 0, 0, 69, 24, 44, 50, 54, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0
, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0}
wake_batch=8
wake_index=0

[snip]

20+16+1=39 more closely matches with busy=40.

So it seems sensible to go this way for whether hostwide tags are used or not.

thanks,
John
