blk-mq: build default queue map via group_cpus_evenly()
The default queue mapping builder of blk_mq_map_queues doesn't take NUMA topo into account, so the built mapping is pretty bad, since CPUs belonging to different NUMA node are assigned to same queue. It is observed that IOPS drops by ~30% when running two jobs on same hctx of null_blk from two CPUs belonging to two NUMA nodes compared with from same NUMA node. Address the issue by reusing group_cpus_evenly() for addressing the issue since group_cpus_evenly() does group cpus according to CPU/NUMA locality. Lots of drivers may benefit from the change, such as nvme pci poll, nvme tcp, ... Signed-off-by: Ming Lei <ming.lei@redhat.com>

…nity_masks Prepare for abstracting irq_build_affinity_masks() into one public helper for assigning all CPUs evenly into several groups. Don't pass irq_affinity_desc array to irq_build_affinity_masks, instead return a cpumask array by storing each assigned group into one element of the array. This way helps us to provide generic interface for grouping all CPUs evenly from NUMA and CPU locality viewpoint, and the cost is one extra allocation in irq_build_affinity_masks(), which should be fine since it is done via GFP_KERNEL and irq_build_affinity_masks() is called very less.

x86/msi: Force affinity setup before startup
The X86 MSI mechanism cannot handle interrupt affinity changes safely after startup other than from an interrupt handler, unless interrupt remapping is enabled. The startup sequence in the generic interrupt code violates that assumption. Mark the irq chips with the new IRQCHIP_AFFINITY_PRE_STARTUP flag so that the default interrupt setting happens before the interrupt is started up for the first time. While the interrupt remapping MSI chip does not require this, there is no point in treating it differently as this might spare an interrupt to a CPU which is not in the default affinity mask. For the non-remapping case go to the direct write path when the interrupt is not yet started similar to the not yet activated case.

PCI/MSI: Protect msi_desc::masked for multi-MSI
Multi-MSI uses a single MSI descriptor and there is a single mask register when the device supports per vector masking. To avoid reading back the mask register the value is cached in the MSI descriptor and updates are done by clearing and setting bits in the cache and writing it to the device. But nothing protects msi_desc::masked and the mask register from being modified concurrently on two different CPUs for two different Linux interrupts which belong to the same multi-MSI descriptor. Add a lock to struct device and protect any operation on the mask and the mask register with it. This makes the update of msi_desc::masked unconditional, but there is no place which requires a modification of the hardware register without updating the masked cache. msi_mask_irq() is now an empty wrapper which will be cleaned up in follow up changes. The problem goes way back to the initial support of multi-MSI, but picking the commit which introduced the mask cache is a valid cut off point (2.6.30).

PCI/MSI: Do not set invalid bits in MSI mask
msi_mask_irq() takes a mask and a flags argument. The mask argument is used to mask out bits from the cached mask and the flags argument to set bits. Some places invoke it with a flags argument which sets bits which are not used by the device, i.e. when the device supports up to 8 vectors a full unmask in some places sets the mask to 0xFFFFFF00.

This is either setup or a rare affinity change event so the extra flush is not the end of the world.

PCI/MSI: Enforce that MSI-X table entry is masked for update
The specification (PCIe r5.0, sec 6.1.4.5) states: For MSI-X, a function is permitted to cache Address and Data values from unmasked MSI-X Table entries. However, anytime software unmasks a currently masked MSI-X Table entry either by clearing its Mask bit or by clearing the Function Mask bit, the function must update any Address or Data values that it cached from that entry. If software changes the Address or Data value of an entry while the entry is unmasked, the result is undefined. The Linux kernel's MSI-X support never enforced that the entry is masked before the entry is modified hence the Fixes tag refers to a commit in: git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tglx/history.git Enforce the entry to be masked across the update. There is no point in enforcing this to be handled at all possible call sites as this is just pointless code duplication and the common update function is the obvious place to enforce this.

PCI/MSI: Mask all unused MSI-X entries
When MSI-X is enabled the ordering of calls is: msix_map_region(); msix_setup_entries(); pci_msi_setup_msi_irqs(); msix_program_entries(); This has a few interesting issues: 1) msix_setup_entries() allocates the MSI descriptors and initializes them except for the msi_desc:masked member which is left zero initialized. 2) pci_msi_setup_msi_irqs() allocates the interrupt descriptors and sets up the MSI interrupts which ends up in pci_write_msi_msg() unless the interrupt chip provides its own irq_write_msi_msg() function. 3) msix_program_entries() does not do what the name suggests. It solely updates the entries array (if not NULL) and initializes the masked member for each MSI descriptor by reading the hardware state and then masks the entry. Obviously this has some issues: 1) The uninitialized masked member of msi_desc prevents the enforcement of masking the entry in pci_write_msi_msg() depending on the cached masked bit. Aside of that half initialized data is a NONO in general 2) msix_program_entries() only ensures that the actually allocated entries are masked. This is wrong as experimentation with crash testing and crash kernel kexec has shown. This limited testing unearthed that when the production kernel had more entries in use and unmasked when it crashed and the crash kernel allocated a smaller amount of entries, then a full scan of all entries found unmasked entries which were in use in the production kernel. This is obviously a device or emulation issue as the device reset should mask all MSI-X table entries, but obviously that's just part of the paper specification. Cure this by: 1) Masking all table entries in hardware 2) Initializing msi_desc::masked in msix_setup_entries() 3) Removing the mask dance in msix_program_entries() 4) Renaming msix_program_entries() to msix_update_entries() to reflect the purpose of that function.

PCI/MSI: Enable and mask MSI-X early
The ordering of MSI-X enable in hardware is dysfunctional: 1) MSI-X is disabled in the control register 2) Various setup functions 3) pci_msi_setup_msi_irqs() is invoked which ends up accessing the MSI-X table entries 4) MSI-X is enabled and masked in the control register with the comment that enabling is required for some hardware to access the MSI-X table Step #4 obviously contradicts #3. The history of this is an issue with the NIU hardware. When #4 was introduced the table access actually happened in msix_program_entries() which was invoked after enabling and masking MSI-X. This was changed in commit d71d643 ("PCI/MSI: Kill redundant call of irq_set_msi_desc() for MSI-X interrupts") which removed the table write from msix_program_entries(). Interestingly enough nobody noticed and either NIU still works or it did not get any testing with a kernel 3.19 or later. Nevertheless this is inconsistent and there is no reason why MSI-X can't be enabled and masked in the control register early on, i.e. move step #4 above to step #1. This preserves the NIU workaround and has no side effects on other hardware.
