The mmc_queue_req is a per-request state container the MMC core uses
to carry bounce buffers, pointers to asynchronous requests and so on.
Currently allocated as a static array of objects, then as a request
comes in, a mmc_queue_req is assigned to it, and used during the
lifetime of the request.

This is backwards compared to how other block layer drivers work:
they usally let the block core provide a per-request struct that get
allocated right beind the struct request, and which can be obtained
using the blk_mq_rq_to_pdu() helper. (The _mq_ infix in this function
name is misleading: it is used by both the old and the MQ block
layer.)

The per-request struct gets allocated to the size stored in the queue
variable .cmd_size initialized using the .init_rq_fn() and
cleaned up using .exit_rq_fn().

The block layer code makes the MMC core rely on this mechanism to
allocate the per-request mmc_queue_req state container.

Doing this make a lot of complicated queue handling go away. We only
need to keep the .qnct that keeps count of how many request are
currently being processed by the MMC layer. The MQ block layer will
replace also this once we transition to it.

Doing this refactoring is necessary to move the ioctl() operations
into custom block layer requests tagged with REQ_OP_DRV_[IN|OUT]
instead of the custom code using the BigMMCHostLock that we have
today: those require that per-request data be obtainable easily from
a request after creating a custom request with e.g.:

struct request *rq = blk_get_request(q, REQ_OP_DRV_IN, __GFP_RECLAIM);
struct mmc_queue_req *mq_rq = req_to_mq_rq(rq);

And this is not possible with the current construction, as the request
is not immediately assigned the per-request state container, but
instead it gets assigned when the request finally enters the MMC
queue, which is way too late for custom requests.

As mentioned below, perhaps this FIXME is fine to add. As I assume you

Seems like we should use blk_alloc_queue() instead, as it calls
blk_alloc_queue_node(gfp_mask, NUMA_NO_NODE) for us.

To be more consistent with existing function names, perhaps rename this to:

I am not very fond of FIXME comments, however perhaps this one really
deserves to be a FIXME because you intend to fix this asap, right?

Besides my minor nitpicks, this is really an impressive cleanup!
Thanks for working on this.

Isn't that at the expense of increased memory allocation.

Have you compared the number of allocations?  It looks to me like the block
layer allocates a minimum of 4 requests in the memory pool which will
increase if there are more in the I/O scheduler, plus 1 for flush.  There
are often 4 queues per eMMC (2x boot,RPMB and main area), so that is 20
requests minimum, up from 2 allocations previously.  For someone using 64K
bounce buffers, you have increased memory allocation by at least 18x64 =
1152k.  However the I/O scheduler could allocate a lot more.

Obviously you could create a per-request data structure with only the
reference to the IOCTL data, and without putting all the memory allocations
there as well.

Yes that goes away with my MQ patches (not yet rebased)
by stopping to try to look when the queue is empty and just
issue requests asynchronously. I just wanted to point this out,
that counter is kind of fragile and scary to me.

This comment is wrong, just a development artifact I will just delete it.

Same as the first comment. It is fragile and I don't like it,
with asynchronous issueing in MQ this goes away.

That is not a realistic example.

As pointed out in patch #1, bounce buffers are used on old systems
which have max_segs == 1. No modern hardware has that,
they all have multiple segments-capable host controllers and
often also DMA engines.

Old systems with max_segs == 1 also have:

- One SD or MMC slot
- No eMMC (because it was not yet invented in those times)
- So no RPMB or Boot partitions, just main area

If you can point me to a system that has max_segs == 1 and an
eMMC mounted, I can look into it and ask the driver maintainers to
check if it disturbs them, but I think those simply do not exist.

Not easily, and this is the way all IDE, ATA, SCSI disks etc are
doing this so why would be try to be different and maintain a lot
of deviant code.

The allocation of extra data is done by the block layer when issueing
blk_get_request() so trying to keep the old mechanism of a list of
struct mmc_queue_req and trying to pair these with incoming requests
inevitably means a lot of extra work, possibly deepening that list or
creating out-of-list extra entries and whatnot.

It's better to do what everyone else does and let the core do this
allocation of extra data (tag) instead.

I agree it is much nicer, but the extra bounce buffer allocations still seem
gratuitous.  Maybe we should allocate them as needed from a memory pool,
instead of for every request.

Incidentally IIRC that is what happens when we migrate to MQ.
In the old block layer, the per-request data is indeed initialized for
every request as you say, but in MQ the same struct request *'s
are reused from a pool, they are only initialized once, i.e. when
you add the block device.

(If I remember my logs right.)
