2013-12-21null_blk: support submit_queues on use_per_node_hctxMatias Bjørling
In the case of both the submit_queues param and use_per_node_hctx param are used. We limit the number af submit_queues to the number of online nodes. If the submit_queues is a multiple of nr_online_nodes, its trivial. Simply map them to the nodes. For example: 8 submit queues are mapped as node0[0,1], node1[2,3], ... If uneven, we are left with an uneven number of submit_queues that must be mapped. These are mapped toward the first node and onward. E.g. 5 submit queues mapped onto 4 nodes are mapped as node0[0,1], node1[2], ... Signed-off-by: Matias Bjorling <m@bjorling.me> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@kernel.dk>
2013-12-21null_blk: set use_per_node_hctx param to falseMatias Bjørling
The defaults for the module is to instantiate itself with blk-mq and a submit queue for each CPU node in the system. To save resources, initialize instead with a single submit queue. Signed-off-by: Matias Bjorling <m@bjorling.me> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@kernel.dk>

Let the user know when the number of submission queues are being ignored. Signed-off-by: Matias Bjorling <m@bjorling.me> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@kernel.dk>
2013-12-19null_blk: refactor init and init errors code pathsMatias Bjorling
Simplify the initialization logic of the three block-layers. - The queue initialization is split into two parts. This allows reuse of code when initializing the sq-, bio- and mq-based layers. - Set submit_queues default value to 0 and always set it at init time. - Simplify the init error code paths.

2013-12-19null_blk: mem garbage on NUMA systems during initMatias Bjorling
For NUMA systems, initializing the blk-mq layer and using per node hctx. We initialize submit queues to 1, while blk-mq nr_hw_queues is initialized to the number of NUMA nodes. This makes the null_init_hctx function overwrite memory outside of what it allocated. In my case it lead to writing garbage into struct request_queue's mq_map.

2013-10-25null_blk: multi queue aware block test driverJens Axboe
A driver that simply completes IO it receives, it does no transfers. Written to fascilitate testing of the blk-mq code. It supports various module options to use either bio queueing, rq queueing, or mq mode. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@kernel.dk>
