[PATCHSET 0/2] Add queue_is_busy helper

From: Jens Axboe <axboe@kernel.dk>
Date: 2018-11-08 15:42:19

DM currently uses atomic inc/dec to maintain a busy count of
IO on a given device. For the dm-mq path, we can replace this
with helper that just checks the state of the tags on the device.

First patch is a prep patch that allows the iteration helpers
to return true/false, like we support internally in sbitmap.
For a busy check we don't care about how many requests are
busy, just if some are or not. Hence we can stop iterating
tags as soon as we find one that is allocated.

[PATCH 1/2] blk-mq-tag: change busy_iter_fn to return whether to continue or not

From: Jens Axboe <axboe@kernel.dk>
Date: 2018-11-08 15:42:15

We have this functionality in sbitmap, but we don't export it in
blk-mq for users of the tags busy iteration. This can be useful
for stopping the iteration, if the caller doesn't need to find
more requests.

[PATCH 2/2] blk-mq: provide a helper to check if a queue is busy

From: Jens Axboe <axboe@kernel.dk>
Date: 2018-11-08 15:42:16

Returns true if the queue currently has requests pending,
false if not.

DM can use this to replace the atomic_inc/dec they do per device
to see if a device is busy.

Hi Jens,

Trying to understand the logic, likely just my lack of knowledge
You return false after setting true because you say we know the queue
is busy.
How do we know we found a request here
I dont see you check the result of 
 bool *busy = (bool *) priv;
Is the assumption here because this was called we already knew we had a
request

Apologies it its just my lack of understanding

Yes, that's absolutely right - if we get into the helper, we know we
already have a request. Hence we know the queue is busy. Actually
thinking about it, for shared tags, we need to check if the request
is for the given queue. Will send a v2...
