The current tag reservation code is based on a misunderstanding of the
meaning of data->shallow_depth. Fix the tag reservation code as follows:
* By default, do not reserve any tags for synchronous requests because
for certain use cases reserving tags reduces performance. See also

(https://lore.kernel.org/linux-block/5ce2ae5d-61e2-4ede-ad55-551112602401@oracle.com/)
* Reduce min_shallow_depth to one because min_shallow_depth must be less
than or equal any shallow_depth value.
* Scale dd->async_depth from the range [1, nr_requests] to [1,
bits_per_sbitmap_word].

With the block layer generic plugging of write operations for zoned
block devices, mq-deadline, or any other scheduler, can only ever
see at most one write operation per zone at any time. There is thus no
sequentiality requirements for these writes and thus no need to tightly
control the dispatching of write requests using zone write locking.
Remove all the code that implement this control in the mq-deadline
scheduler and remove advertizing support for the
ELEVATOR_F_ZBD_SEQ_WRITE elevator feature.

The code "max(1U, 3 * (1U << shift) / 4)" comes from the Kyber I/O
scheduler. The Kyber I/O scheduler maintains one internal queue per hwq
and hence derives its async_depth from the number of hwq tags. Using
this approach for the mq-deadline scheduler is wrong since the
mq-deadline scheduler maintains one internal queue for all hwqs
combined. Hence this revert.

The original formula was inaccurate:
dd->async_depth = max(1UL, 3 * q->nr_requests / 4);
For write requests, when we assign a tags from sched_tags,
data->shallow_depth will be passed to sbitmap_find_bit,
see the following code:
nr = sbitmap_find_bit_in_word(&sb->map[index],
min_t (unsigned int,
__map_depth(sb, index),
depth),
alloc_hint, wrap);
The smaller of data->shallow_depth and __map_depth(sb, index)
will be used as the maximum range when allocating bits.
For a mmc device (one hw queue, deadline I/O scheduler):
q->nr_requests = sched_tags = 128, so according to the previous
calculation method, dd->async_depth = data->shallow_depth = 96,
and the platform is 64bits with 8 cpus, sched_tags.bitmap_tags.sb.shift=5,
sb.maps[]=32/32/32/32, 32 is smaller than 96, whether it is a read or
a write I/O, tags can be allocated to the maximum range each time,
which has not throttling effect.
In addition, refer to the methods of bfg/kyber I/O scheduler,
limit ratiois are calculated base on sched_tags.bitmap_tags.sb.shift.
This patch can throttle write requests really.

mq-deadline ensures an in order dispatching of write requests to zoned
block devices using a per zone lock (a bit). This implies that for any
purely sequential write workload, the drive is exercised most of the
time at a maximum queue depth of one.
However, when such sequential write workload crosses a zone boundary
(when sequentially writing multiple contiguous zones), zone write
locking may prevent the last write to one zone to be issued (as the
previous write is still being executed) but allow the first write to the
following zone to be issued (as that zone is not yet being writen and
not locked). This result in an out of order delivery of the sequential
write commands to the device every time a zone boundary is crossed.
While such behavior does not break the sequential write constraint of
zoned block devices (and does not generate any write error), some zoned
hard-disks react badly to seeing these out of order writes, resulting in
lower write throughput.
This problem can be addressed by always dispatching the first request
of a stream of sequential write requests, regardless of the zones
targeted by these sequential writes. To do so, the function
deadline_skip_seq_writes() is introduced and used in
deadline_next_request() to select the next write command to issue if the
target device is an HDD (blk_queue_nonrot() being false).
deadline_fifo_request() is modified using the new
deadline_earlier_request() and deadline_is_seq_write() helpers to ignore
requests in the fifo list that have a preceding request in lba order
that is sequential.
With this fix, a sequential write workload executed with the following
fio command:
fio --name=seq-write --filename=/dev/sda --zonemode=zbd --direct=1 \
--size=68719476736 --ioengine=libaio --iodepth=32 --rw=write \
--bs=65536
results in an increase from 225 MB/s to 250 MB/s of the write throughput
of an SMR HDD (11% increase).

dd_finish_request() tests if the per prio fifo_list is not empty to
determine if request dispatching must be restarted for handling blocked
write requests to zoned devices with a call to
blk_mq_sched_mark_restart_hctx(). While simple, this implementation has
2 problems:
1) Only the priority level of the completed request is considered.
However, writes to a zone may be blocked due to other writes to the
same zone using a different priority level. While this is unlikely to
happen in practice, as writing a zone with different IO priorirites
does not make sense, nothing in the code prevents this from
happening.
2) The use of list_empty() is dangerous as dd_finish_request() does not
take dd->lock and may run concurrently with the insert and dispatch
code.
Fix these 2 problems by testing the write fifo list of all priority
levels using the new helper dd_has_write_work(), and by testing each
fifo list using list_empty_careful().

This reverts commit fb926032b3.
Zhen reports that this commit slows down mq-deadline on a 128 thread
box, going from 258K IOPS to 170-180K. My testing shows that Optane
gen2 IOPS goes from 2.3M IOPS to 1.2M IOPS on a 64 thread box.
Looking in detail at the code, the main culprit here is needing to sum
percpu counters in the dispatch hot path, leading to very high CPU
utilization there. To make matters worse, the code currently needs to
sum 2 percpu counters, and it does so in the most naive way of iterating
possible CPUs _twice_.
Since we're close to release, revert this commit and we can re-do it
with regular per-priority counters instead for the 5.15 kernel.

The block layer may call the I/O scheduler .finish_request() callback
without having called the .insert_requests() callback. Make sure that the
mq-deadline I/O statistics are correct if the block layer inserts an I/O
request that bypasses the I/O scheduler. This patch prevents that lower
priority I/O is delayed longer than necessary for mixed I/O priority
workloads.

* It breaks cgroup interface file format rule by adding custom elements to a

* It registers mq-deadline as a cgroup-aware policy even though all it's
doing is collecting per-cgroup stats. Even if we need these stats, this
isn't the right way to add them.

When dispatching the first request of a batch, the deadline_move_request()
call clears .next_rq[] for the opposite data direction. .next_rq[] is not
restored when changing data direction. Fix this by not clearing .next_rq[]
and by keeping track of the data direction of a batch in a variable instead.
This patch is a micro-optimization because:
- The number of deadline_next_request() calls for the read direction is
halved.
- The number of times that deadline_next_request() returns NULL is reduced.

For interactive workloads it is important that synchronous requests are
not delayed. Hence reserve 25% of scheduler tags for synchronous requests.
This patch still allows asynchronous requests to fill the hardware queues
since blk_mq_init_sched() makes sure that the number of scheduler requests
is the double of the hardware queue depth. From blk_mq_init_sched():
q->nr_requests = 2 * min_t(unsigned int, q->tag_set->queue_depth,
BLKDEV_MAX_RQ);

__blk_mq_sched_bio_merge() gets the ctx and hctx for the current CPU and
passes the hctx to ->bio_merge(). kyber_bio_merge() then gets the ctx
for the current CPU again and uses that to get the corresponding Kyber
context in the passed hctx. However, the thread may be preempted between
the two calls to blk_mq_get_ctx(), and the ctx returned the second time
may no longer correspond to the passed hctx. This "works" accidentally
most of the time, but it can cause us to read garbage if the second ctx
came from an hctx with more ctx's than the first one (i.e., if
ctx->index_hw[hctx->type] > hctx->nr_ctx).

Since commit 01e99aeca3 'blk-mq: insert passthrough request into
hctx->dispatch directly', passthrough request should not appear in
IO-scheduler any more, so blk_rq_is_passthrough checking in addon IO
schedulers is redundant.
(Notes: this patch passes generic IO load test with hdds under SAS
controller and hdds under AHCI controller but obviously not covers all.
Not sure if passthrough request can still escape into IO scheduler from
blk_mq_sched_insert_requests, which is used by blk_mq_flush_plug_list and
has lots of indirect callers.)
