From: Ming Lei <[email protected]>
The NVME PCI driver contains a tedious mechanism for interrupt
allocation, which is necessary to adjust the number and size of interrupt
sets to the maximum available number of interrupts which depends on the
underlying PCI capabilities and the available CPU resources.
It works around the former short comings of the PCI and core interrupt
allocation mechanims in combination with interrupt sets.
The PCI interrupt allocation function allows to provide a maximum and a
minimum number of interrupts to be allocated and tries to allocate as
many as possible. This worked without driver interaction as long as there
was only a single set of interrupts to handle.
With the addition of support for multiple interrupt sets in the generic
affinity spreading logic, which is invoked from the PCI interrupt
allocation, the adaptive loop in the PCI interrupt allocation did not
work for multiple interrupt sets. The reason is that depending on the
total number of interrupts which the PCI allocation adaptive loop tries
to allocate in each step, the number and the size of the interrupt sets
need to be adapted as well. Due to the way the interrupt sets support was
implemented there was no way for the PCI interrupt allocation code or the
core affinity spreading mechanism to invoke a driver specific function
for adapting the interrupt sets configuration.
As a consequence the driver had to implement another adaptive loop around
the PCI interrupt allocation function and calling that with maximum and
minimum interrupts set to the same value. This ensured that the
allocation either succeeded or immediately failed without any attempt to
adjust the number of interrupts in the PCI code.
The core code now allows drivers to provide a callback to recalculate the
number and the size of interrupt sets during PCI interrupt allocation,
which in turn allows the PCI interrupt allocation function to be called
in the same way as with a single set of interrupts. The PCI code handles
the adaptive loop and the interrupt affinity spreading mechanism invokes
the driver callback to adapt the interrupt set configuration to the
current loop value. This replaces the adaptive loop in the driver
completely.
Implement the NVME specific callback which adjusts the interrupt sets
configuration and remove the adaptive allocation loop.

.calc_sets is called only if more than .pre_vectors is available,
then dev->io_queues[HCTX_TYPE_DEFAULT] may not be set in case of
(nvecs == affd->pre_vectors + affd->post_vectors).

Hmm, good catch. The delta patch below should fix that, but I have to go
through all the possible cases in pci_alloc_irq_vectors_affinity() once
more with brain awake.

... while this seem to ensure that we carve out one write queue out of
the irq set. It looks like a departure from the original code, which
would set nr_read_queues to 1 in that particular case.

That needs to be:
nr_read_queues = 1;
obviously.

The existing logic in the driver is somewhat strange. If there is only a
single interrupt available, i.e. no separation of admin and I/O queue, then
dev->io_queues[HCTX_TYPE_DEFAULT] is still set to 1.
Now with the callback scheme (independent of my changes) that breaks in
various ways:
1) irq_create_affinity_masks() bails out early:
if (nvecs == affd->pre_vectors + affd->post_vectors)
return NULL;
So the callback won't be invoked and the last content of
dev->io_queues is preserved. By chance this might end up with
dev->io_queues[HCTX_TYPE_DEFAULT] = 1;
dev->io_queues[HCTX_TYPE_READ] = 0;
but that does not happen by design.
2) pci_alloc_irq_vectors_affinity() has the following flow:
__pci_enable_msix_range()
for (...) {
__pci_enable_msix()
}
If that fails because MSIX is not supported, then the affinity
spreading code has not been called yet and neither the callback.
Now it goes on and tries MSI, which is the same as the above.
When that fails because MSI is not supported, same situation as above
and the code tries to allocate the legacy interrupt.
Now with the initial initialization that case is covered, but not the
following error case:
Assume MSIX is enabled, but __pci_enable_msix() fails with -ENOMEM
after having called irq_create_affinity_masks() and subsequently the
callback with maxvecs.
Then pci_alloc_irq_vectors_affinity() will try MSI and fail _BEFORE_
the callback is invoked.
The next step is to install the leagcy interrupt, but that does not
invoke the affinity code and neither the callback.
At the end dev->io_queues[*] are still initialized with the failed
attempt of enabling MSIX based on maxvecs.
Result: inconsistent state ...
I have an idea how to fix that, but that's again a task for brain being
awake. Will take care of that tomorrow morning.
Thanks,
