From: Chengming Zhou <[email protected]>
Hello,
This patchset fix start_time_ns and alloc_time_ns for pre-allocated rq.
patch 1 is preparation that we move data->rq_flags initialization code
outside blk_mq_rq_ctx_init() to its caller, since we will need it to
tell if we need to get start_time_ns.
patch 2 is the fix patch that we set alloc_time_ns and start_time_ns
to now when the pre-allocated rq is actually used and we skip setting
during pre-allocation.
v4:
- Combine the last two patches into one patch for clearer review.
- Use blk_mq_alloc_data to pass start_time_ns instead of passing down
yet another parameter. Thanks Christoph Hellwig.
- [v3] https://lore.kernel.org/all/[email protected]/
v3:
- Skip setting the alloc_time_ns and start_time_ns during pre-allocation,
which is clearer, as suggested by Tejun.
- [v2] https://lore.kernel.org/all/[email protected]/
v2:
- Let blk_mq_rq_ctx_init() receive start_time_ns for batched time setting.
- Set alloc_time_ns and start_time_ns when the pre-allocated rq is actually
used, as suggested by Tejun.
- [v1] https://lore.kernel.org/all/[email protected]/

From: Chengming Zhou <[email protected]>
The blk_mq_rq_ctx_init() has some data->rq_flags initialization:
```
if (data->flags & BLK_MQ_REQ_PM)
data->rq_flags |= RQF_PM;
if (blk_queue_io_stat(q))
data->rq_flags |= RQF_IO_STAT;
rq->rq_flags = data->rq_flags;
```
We will need this data->rq_flags to tell if we need start_time_ns, so
we need to put these initialization in the callers of blk_mq_rq_ctx_init().
Now we basically have two callers, the 1st is general __blk_mq_alloc_requests(),
the 2nd is the special blk_mq_alloc_request_hctx(). So change the 2nd caller
to reuse the 1st __blk_mq_alloc_requests() to avoid code duplication.
This is safe because blk_mq_alloc_request_hctx() always has BLK_MQ_REQ_NOWAIT
flag, it won't go into the normal retry path when doesn't have free tag.
But it indeed make the general __blk_mq_alloc_requests() more complex.

2.39.2
From: Chengming Zhou <[email protected]>
The iocost rely on rq start_time_ns and alloc_time_ns to tell saturation
state of the block device. Most of the time request is allocated after
rq_qos_throttle() and its alloc_time_ns or start_time_ns won't be affected.
But for plug batched allocation introduced by the commit 47c122e35d7e
("block: pre-allocate requests if plug is started and is a batch"), we can
rq_qos_throttle() after the allocation of the request. This is what the
blk_mq_get_cached_request() does.
In this case, the cached request alloc_time_ns or start_time_ns is much
ahead if blocked in any qos ->throttle().
This patch fix it by setting alloc_time_ns and start_time_ns to now
when the pre-allocated rq is actually used. And we skip setting the
alloc_time_ns and start_time_ns during pre-allocation, so just pass 0
in __blk_mq_alloc_requests_batch().
