14 * An io_cq (icq) is association between an io_context (ioc) and a
15 * request_queue (q). This is used by elevators which need to track
16 * information per ioc - q pair.
18 * Elevator can request use of icq by setting elevator_type->icq_size and
19 * ->icq_align. Both size and align must be larger than that of struct
20 * io_cq and elevator can use the tail area for private information. The
21 * recommended way to do this is defining a struct which contains io_cq as
22 * the first member followed by private members and using its size and
23 * align. For example,
25 * struct snail_io_cq {
26 * struct io_cq icq;
27 * int poke_snail;
28 * int feed_snail;
29 * };
31 * struct elevator_type snail_elv_type {
32 * .ops = { ... },
33 * .icq_size = sizeof(struct snail_io_cq),
34 * .icq_align = __alignof__(struct snail_io_cq),
35 * ...
36 * };
38 * If icq_size is set, block core will manage icq's. All requests will
39 * have its ->elv.icq field set before elevator_ops->elevator_set_req_fn()
40 * is called and be holding a reference to the associated io_context.
42 * Whenever a new icq is created, elevator_ops->elevator_init_icq_fn() is
43 * called and, on destruction, ->elevator_exit_icq_fn(). Both functions
44 * are called with both the associated io_context and queue locks held.
46 * Elevator is allowed to lookup icq using ioc_lookup_icq() while holding
47 * queue lock but the returned icq is valid only until the queue lock is
48 * released. Elevators can not and should not try to create or destroy
49 * icq's.
51 * As icq's are linked from both ioc and q, the locking rules are a bit
52 * complex.
54 * - ioc lock nests inside q lock.
56 * - ioc->icq_list and icq->ioc_node are protected by ioc lock.
57 * q->icq_list and icq->q_node by q lock.
59 * - ioc->icq_tree and ioc->icq_hint are protected by ioc lock, while icq
60 * itself is protected by q lock. However, both the indexes and icq
61 * itself are also RCU managed and lookup can be performed holding only
62 * the q lock.
64 * - icq's are not reference counted. They are destroyed when either the
65 * ioc or q goes away. Each request with icq set holds an extra
66 * reference to ioc to ensure it stays until the request is completed.
68 * - Linking and unlinking icq's are performed while holding both ioc and q
69 * locks. Due to the lock ordering, q exit is simple but ioc exit
70 * requires reverse-order double lock dance.

80 * used for RCU free of io_cq.
