dm: unplug queues in threads Remove an avoidable 3ms delay on some dm-raid1 and kcopyd I/O. It is specified that any submitted bio without BIO_RW_SYNC flag may plug the queue (i.e. block the requests from being dispatched to the physical device). The queue is unplugged when the caller calls blk_unplug() function. Usually, the sequence is that someone calls submit_bh to submit IO on a buffer. The IO plugs the queue and waits (to be possibly joined with other adjacent bios). Then, when the caller calls wait_on_buffer(), it unplugs the queue and submits the IOs to the disk. This was happenning: When doing O_SYNC writes, function fsync_buffers_list() submits a list of bios to dm_raid1, the bios are added to dm_raid1 write queue and kmirrord is woken up. fsync_buffers_list() calls wait_on_buffer(). That unplugs the queue, but there are no bios on the device queue as they are still in the dm_raid1 queue. wait_on_buffer() starts waiting until the IO is finished. kmirrord is scheduled, kmirrord takes bios and submits them to the devices. The submitted bio plugs the harddisk queue but there is no one to unplug it. (The process that called wait_on_buffer() is already sleeping.) So there is a 3ms timeout, after which the queues on the harddisks are unplugged and requests are processed. This 3ms timeout meant that in certain workloads (e.g. O_SYNC, 8kb writes), dm-raid1 is 10 times slower than md raid1. Every time we submit something asynchronously via dm_io, we must unplug the queue actually to send the request to the device. This patch adds an unplug call to kmirrord - while processing requests, it keeps the queue plugged (so that adjacent bios can be merged); when it finishes processing all the bios, it unplugs the queue to submit the bios. It also fixes kcopyd which has the same potential problem. All kcopyd requests are submitted with BIO_RW_SYNC.
