This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled block: fix hctx checks for batch allocation to the 6.1-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: block-fix-hctx-checks-for-batch-allocation.patch and it can be found in the queue-6.1 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit b0556c1b65b326c8cf82fdb5d7bacc6a44e57de9 Author: Pavel Begunkov <asml.silence@xxxxxxxxx> Date: Tue Jan 17 11:42:15 2023 +0000 block: fix hctx checks for batch allocation [ Upstream commit 7746564793978fe2f43b18a302b22dca0ad3a0e8 ] When there are no read queues read requests will be assigned a default queue on allocation. However, blk_mq_get_cached_request() is not prepared for that and will fail all attempts to grab read requests from the cache. Worst case it doubles the number of requests allocated, roughly half of which will be returned by blk_mq_free_plug_rqs(). It only affects batched allocations and so is io_uring specific. For reference, QD8 t/io_uring benchmark improves by 20-35%.
