Maybe you can explain a bit better what's this all about?

Both the commit that introduces blk-mq and the paper on it talk about
high IOPS devices, multi-core, NUMA systems. I'm not sure this is the
case for UBI-based devices.

Probably some numbers would help us decide. Does the patch increases the
dynamic memory footprint? Is there any performance benefit?

I kind of like the negative diffstat, but the code doesn't look cleaner
or simpler.

In other words, we need a good reason before we agree on making this
"zen style" driver more complex.

In short, blk-mq is the future and the current blk interface will be legacy. :-)
Christoph asked me to convert the MTD block drivers to blk-mq.

I did a very rough micro benchmark:

root@(none):~# dd if=/dev/ubiblock0_0 of=/dev/null bs=1M
121+1 records in
121+1 records out
127420416 bytes (127 MB) copied, 1.59056 s, 80.1 MB/s

vs.

root@(none):~# dd if=/dev/ubiblock0_0 of=/dev/null bs=1M
121+1 records in
121+1 records out
127420416 bytes (127 MB) copied, 0.916117 s, 139 MB/s

So, yes there is a performance gain.

After reading my patch again I think we could move ubiblock_read_to_sg()
to kapi.c or io.c. It is rather generic and maybe we can tun more UBI users to
scattergather such that less vmalloc()s are needed.

This would also make the diffstat nicer...

Ah, OK. That makes sense then.

Wow. Where did you run this and on top of what storage device?

I'm still interested in the memory footprint, UBI is already heavy enough.

Yes, any additional effort to make the current patch any simpler would
be great. In its current form it seems rather cumbersome to me.

If you can re-submit something better and put a more verbose commit log,
I'd really appreciate it :)

nandsim, to make sure that the MTD is not our bottleneck.

AFAICT blk-mq allocates one struct ubiblock_pdu per device.
As all IO is done via scattergather the memory footprint should be good.
But I'm sure Christoph can tell you the glory details.

Why cumbersome? It changes the way the driver works as blk-mq works differently.
If you look at other blk-mq conversion patches you'll notice that they all change
a lot.

First I wait for a review. I'm not sure whether I'm used blk-ml correctly.

The goal of blk-mq was to solve the issues around those systems, while
at the same time provide a more modern infrastructure in general. It was
never the intent to make blk-mq exclusive to higher end systems or
devices, in fact quite the opposite. The goal is to slowly deprecate the
old IO stack and switch everything (as far as we can) to blk-mq.

That is true, the request list and pdu is allocated upfront. If that is
a problem, the pdu need not be allocated upfront but could be done at IO
time instead. With that comes a bit more complicated retry handling, for
memory shortage situations.

It is always helpful to include some performance comparison data(
randrw, rw) between blk-mq and non-mq.

The above line can be moved into ubiblock_init_request().

The above two can be retrieved from 'req' directly, so looks they
can be removed from pdu.

Same with pdu->req.

You need to tell the limit to bio layer via blk_queue_max_segments(),
otherwise it is easy to trigger the BUG_ON().

The above change can be avoided by putting destroy_workqueue()

Can you document why you choose this number? The default nr_request
for the old code would be 128.

Also I'll send a patch ASAP that allows drivers to ensure their
->queue_rq is always called from a driver-specific workqueue, which
should simplify the bui block driver a lot.

Is 64 a problem? Beside of the fact that I forgot to set blk_queue_max_segments().
I used this number because 128 seemed a bit high and my goal was to
keep the memory footprint small.
This is also why I've set tag_set.queue_depth to 64.

Sounds great!

UBI block support is read-only for now so you'll be able to run read
tests only.

Richard: If at all possible, it would be interested to so some
performance tests on *real* devices, not only RAM-based ones.

Thanks for working on this!

The request was to document, so lets' document the choice.

Of course I'll document it. But so far I had no time to do a
v2 of this patch.

Your reply just sounded like you are complaining to the request (starts
with "is this a problem?"). And it looked like you try to defend the 64
choice, while no one challenged it.

So my e-mail is to just kindly help you by pointing that the request was
to only add a piece of doc so far, in case you misinterpreted it.

Artem.
