Subject[PATCH v3 00/11] Fix shost command overloading issues
Date
It's easy to get scsi_debug to error on throughput testing when we have
multiple shosts:

$ lsscsi
[7:0:0:0] disk Linux scsi_debug 0191
[0:0:0:0] disk Linux scsi_debug 0191

$ fio --filename=/dev/sda --filename=/dev/sdb --direct=1 --rw=read
--bs=4k --iodepth=256 --runtime=60 --numjobs=40 --time_based --name=jpg
--eta-newline=1 --readonly --ioengine=io_uring --hipri --exitall_on_error
jpg: (g=0): rw=read, bs=(R) 4096B-4096B, (W) 4096B-4096B, (T) 4096B-4096B, ioengine=io_uring, iodepth=256

The issue is related to how the driver manages submit queues and tags. A
single array of submit queues - sdebug_q_arr - with its own set of tags is
shared among all shosts. As such, for occasions when we have more than one
host it is possible to overload the submit queues and run out of tags.

Another separate issue that we may reduce the shost submit queue depth,
sdebug_max_queue, dynamically causing the shost to be overloaded. How many
IOs which the shost may be sent is fixed at can_queue at init time, which
is the same initial value for sdebug_max_queue. So reducing
sdebug_max_queue means that the shost may be sent more IOs than it is
configured to handle, causing overloading.

This series removes the scsi_debug submit queue concept and uses
pre-existing APIs to manage and examine tags, like scsi_block_requests()
and blk_mq_tagset_busy_iter(). Using standard APIs makes the driver more
maintainable and extensible in future.

A restriction is also added to allow sdebug_max_queue only be modified
when no shosts are present, i.e. we need to remove shosts, modify
sdebug_max_queue, and then re-add the shosts.

Difference to v2:
- Make sdebug_alloc_queued_cmd() static

Differences to v1:
- Add patch to fix sdev queue full test
- Add restriction to allow sdebug_max_queue only be modified for no shosts

John Garry (11):
scsi: scsi_debug: Fix check for sdev queue full
scsi: scsi_debug: Don't iter all shosts in
clear_luns_changed_on_target()
scsi: scsi_debug: Change shost list lock to a mutex
scsi: scsi_debug: Protect block_unblock_all_queues() with mutex
scsi: scsi_debug: Use scsi_block_requests() to block queues
scsi: scsi_debug: Dynamically allocate sdebug_queued_cmd
scsi: scsi_debug: Use blk_mq_tagset_busy_iter() in
sdebug_blk_mq_poll()
scsi: scsi_debug: Use blk_mq_tagset_busy_iter() in stop_all_queued()
scsi: scsi_debug: Use scsi_host_busy() in delay_store() and
ndelay_store()
scsi: scsi_debug: Only allow sdebug_max_queue be modified when no
shosts
scsi: scsi_debug: Drop sdebug_queue
