Why the synchronize_rcu()?
Hello Mike,
Adding read_lock() + read_unlock() in __blk_mq_run_hw_queue() and
synchronize_rcu() in blk_mq_quiesce_queue() is the lowest overhead
mechanism I know of to make the latter function wait until the former
has finished.
Also, you're effectively open-coding blk_mq_freeze_queue_start() minus
the q->q_usage_counter mgmt. Why not add a flag to conditionally manage
q->q_usage_counter to blk_mq_freeze_queue_start()?
I will consider this.
But I'm concerned about blk_mq_{quiesce,resume}_queue vs
blk_mq_{freeze,unfreeze}_queue -- e.g. if "freeze" is nested after
"queue" (but before "resume") it would still need the q->q_usage_counter
management. Your patch as-is would break the blk-mq freeze interface.
Agreed. blk_mq_{quiesce,resume}_queue() has to manipulate
q_usage_counter in the same way as blk_mq_{freeze,unfreeze}_queue().
Once I am back in the office I will rework this patch and send it to Jens.
Bart.
