[PATCH V4] blk-mq: introduce BLK_STS_DEV_RESOURCE

Mike Snitzer snitzer at redhat.com
Mon Jan 29 12:33:00 PST 2018


From: Ming Lei <ming.lei at redhat.com>

This status is returned from driver to block layer if device related
resource is unavailable, but driver can guarantee that IO dispatch
will be triggered in future when the resource is available.

Convert some drivers to return BLK_STS_DEV_RESOURCE.  Also, if driver
returns BLK_STS_RESOURCE and SCHED_RESTART is set, rerun queue after
a delay (BLK_MQ_DELAY_QUEUE) to avoid IO stalls.  BLK_MQ_DELAY_QUEUE is
3 ms because both scsi-mq and nvmefc are using that magic value.

V4:
        - cleanup header and code comments
        - rerun queue after BLK_MQ_QUEUE_DELAY (3ms) instead of 10ms
        - eliminate nvmefc's queue rerun now that blk-mq does it
V3:
        - fix typo, and improvement document
        - add tested-by tag
V2:
        - add comments on the new introduced status
        - patch style fix
        - both are suggested by Christoph
