Hi,
As recent discussion, especially suggested by Christoph, this patchset implements per-distpatch_queue flush machinery, so that:
- current init_request and exit_request callbacks can cover flush request too, then the buggy copying way of initializing flush request's pdu can be fixed
- flushing performance gets improved in case of multi hw-queue
About 70% throughput improvement is observed in sync write over multi dispatch-queue virtio-blk, see details in commit log of patch 10/10.
This patchset can be pulled from below tree too:
git://kernel.ubuntu.com/ming/linux.git v3.17-block-dev-flush_v4
V4: - remove pdu copy from original request to flush request - don't call blk_free_flush_queue for !q->mq_ops
V3: - don't return failure code from blk_alloc_flush_queue() to avoid freeing invalid buffer in case of allocation failure - remove blk_init_flush() and blk_exit_flush() - remove unnecessary WARN_ON() from blk_alloc_flush_queue() V2: - refactor blk_mq_init_hw_queues() and its pair, also it is a fix on failure path, so that conversion to per-queue flush becomes simple. - allocate/initialize flush queue in blk_mq_init_hw_queues() - add sync write tests on virtio-blk which is backed by SSD image
V1: - commit log typo fix - introduce blk_alloc_flush_queue() and its pair earlier, so that patch 5 and 8 become easier for review
