Series blk-mq: fix wrong queue mapping for kdump kernel | expand

Take blk-mq's knowledge into account for calculating io queues.

Fix wrong queue mapping in case of kdump kernel.

On arm and ppc64, 'maxcpus=1' is passed to kdump kernel command line,
see `Documentation/admin-guide/kdump/kdump.rst`, so num_possible_cpus()
still returns all CPUs because 'maxcpus=1' just bring up one single
cpu core during booting.

blk-mq sees single queue in kdump kernel, and in driver's viewpoint
there are still multiple queues, this inconsistency causes driver to apply
wrong queue mapping for handling IO, and IO timeout is triggered.

Meantime, single queue makes much less resource utilization, and reduce
risk of kernel failure.

For other drivers you limit the max MSI vectors which we try to allocate 
according to scsi_max_nr_hw_queues(), but here you continue to alloc the 
same max vectors but then limit the driver's completion queue count. Why 
not limit the max MSI vectors also here?

Good catch!

I guess it is because of the following line:

   	hisi_hba->cq_nvecs = vectors - BASE_VECTORS_V3_HW - hisi_hba->iopoll_q_cnt;

I am a bit confused why hisi_sas_v3 takes ->iopoll_q_cnt into account
allocated msi vectors?  ->iopoll_q_cnt supposes to not consume msi
vectors, so I think we need the following fix first:

Ah, checking again, I think that this driver always allocates maximum 
possible MSI due to arm interrupt controller driver bug - see comment at 
top of function interrupt_preinit_v3_hw(). IIRC, there was a problem if 
we remove and re-insert the device driver that the GIC ITS fails to 
allocate MSI unless all MSI were previously allocated.

Xiang Chen can confirm.

My question is actually why hisi_hba->iopoll_q_cnt is subtracted from
allocated vectors since io poll queues does _not_ use msi vector.

So it isn't related with driver's msi vector allocation bug, is it?

It is subtracted as superfluous vectors were allocated.

As I mentioned, I think that the driver is forced to allocate all 32 MSI 
vectors, even though it really needs max of 32 - iopoll_q_cnt, i.e. we 
don't need an MSI vector for a HW queue assigned to polling. Then, since 
it gets 16x MSI for cq vectors, it subtracts iopoll_q_cnt to give the 
desired count in cq_nvecs.

> So it isn't related with driver's msi vector allocation bug, is it?

My deduction is this is how this currently "works" for non-zero iopoll 
queues:
- allocate max MSI of 32, which gives 32 vectors including 16 cq 
vectors. That then gives:
    - cq_nvecs = 16 - iopoll_q_cnt
    - shost->nr_hw_queues = 16
    - 16x MSI cq vectors were spread over all CPUs

- in hisi_sas_map_queues()
    - HCTX_TYPE_DEFAULT qmap->nr_queues = 16 - iopoll_q_cnt, and for 
blk_mq_pci_map_queues() we setup affinity for 16 - iopoll_q_cnt hw 
queues. This looks broken, as we originally spread 16x vectors over all 
CPUs, but now only setup mappings for (16 - iopoll_q_cnt) vectors, whose 
affinity would spread a subset of CPUs. And then qmap->mq_map[] for 
other CPUs is not set at all.

John

Looks the current driver wires nr_irq_queues with nr_poll_queues, which is
wrong logically.

Here:

1) hisi_hba->queue_count means the max supported queue count(irq queues
+ poll queues)

2) max vectors(32) means the max supported irq queues, but actual
nr_irq_queues can be less than allocated vectors because of the irq
allocation bug

3) so the max supported poll queues should be (hisi_hba->queue_count -
nr_irq_queues).

What I meant is that nr_poll_queues shouldn't be related with allocated
msi vectors.

It should be that cq_nvecs vectors spread over all CPUs, and
iopoll_q_cnt are spread over all CPUs too.

For each queue type, nr_queues of this type are spread over all
CPUs.

That isn't true, please see my above comment.

JFYI, from 
https://github.com/tianocore/edk2-platforms/blob/master/Silicon/Hisilicon/Hi1620/Hi1620AcpiTables/Dsdt/Hi1620Pci.asl#L587C25-L587C41, 
hisi_hba->queue_count is fixed at 16.

> 2) max vectors(32) means the max supported irq queues,
I'll just mention some details of this HW, in case missed.

For this HW, max vectors is 32, but not all are for completion queue 
interrupts.

interrupts 0-15 are for housekeeping, like phy up notification
interrupts 16-31 are for completion queue interrupts

That is a fixed assignment. irq #16 is for HW queue #0 interrupt, irq 
#17 is for HW queue #1 interrupt, and so on.

Sure, I agree with that. nr_poll_queues is set in that driver as a 
module param.

I am just saying that we have a fixed number of HW queues (16), each of 
which may be used for interrupt or polling mode. And since we always 
allocate max number of MSI, then number of interrupt queues available 
will be 16 - nr_poll_queues.

I agree, it should be, but I don't think that it is for 
HCTX_TYPE_DEFAULT, as below.

I am just basing that on what I mention above, so please let me know my 
inaccuracy there.

No.

queue_count is fixed at 16, but pci_alloc_irq_vectors_affinity() still
may return less vectors, which is one system-wide resource, and queue
count is device resource.

So when less vectors are allocated, you should have been capable of using
more poll queues, unfortunately the current code can't support that.

Even worse, hisi_hba->cq_nvecs can become negative if less vectors are returned.

You said queue mapping for HCTX_TYPE_DEFAULT is broken, but it isn't.

You said 'we originally spread 16x vectors over all CPUs', which isn't
true. Again, '16 - iopoll_q_cnt' vectors are spread on all CPUs, and
same with iopoll_q_cnt vectors.

Since both blk_mq_map_queues() and blk_mq_pci_map_queues() does spread
map->nr_queues over all CPUs, so there isn't spread a subset of CPUs.

OK, I see what you mean here. I thought that we were only considering 
case of vectors allocated was max vectors requested.

Yes, I see how allocating less than max can cause an issue. I am not 
sure if increasing iopoll_q_cnt over driver module param value is proper 
then, but obviously we don't want cq_nvecs to become negative.

Are you talking about the case of allocating less then max requested 
vectors, as above?

If we have min_msi = 17, max_msi = 32, affinity_desc = {16, 0}, and we 
allocate 32 vectors from pci_alloc_irq_vectors_affinity(), then I would 
have thought that the affinity for the 16x cq vectors is spread over all 
CPUs. Is that wrong?
