[PATCH V2 4/8] block: null_blk: introduce module parameter of 'g_global_tags'

From: Ming Lei <hidden>
Date: 2018-02-05 15:20:31
Also in: linux-scsi
Subsystem: block layer, the rest · Maintainers: Jens Axboe, Linus Torvalds

This patch introduces the parameter of 'g_global_tags' so that we can
test this feature by null_blk easiy.

Not see obvious performance drop with global_tags when the whole hw
depth is kept as same:

1) no 'global_tags', each hw queue depth is 1, and 4 hw queues
modprobe null_blk queue_mode=2 nr_devices=4 shared_tags=1 global_tags=0 submit_queues=4 hw_queue_depth=1

2) 'global_tags', global hw queue depth is 4, and 4 hw queues
modprobe null_blk queue_mode=2 nr_devices=4 shared_tags=1 global_tags=1 submit_queues=4 hw_queue_depth=4

3) fio test done in above two settings:
   fio --bs=4k --size=512G  --rw=randread --norandommap --direct=1 --ioengine=libaio --iodepth=4 --runtime=$RUNTIME --group_reporting=1  --name=nullb0 --filename=/dev/nullb0 --name=nullb1 --filename=/dev/nullb1 --name=nullb2 --filename=/dev/nullb2 --name=nullb3 --filename=/dev/nullb3

1M IOPS can be reached in both above tests which is done in one VM.
