dm mpath: add IO affinity path selector
This patch adds a path selector that selects paths based on a CPU to
path mapping the user passes in and what CPU we are executing on. The
primary user for this PS is where the app is optimized to use specific
CPUs so other PSs undo the apps handy work, and the storage and it's
transport are not a bottlneck.
For these io-affinity PS setups a path's transport/interconnect
perf is not going to flucuate a lot and there is no major differences
between paths, so QL/HST smarts do not help and RR always messes up
what the app is trying to do.
On a system with 16 cores, where you have a job per CPU:
fio --filename=/dev/dm-0 --direct=1 --rw=randrw --bs=4k \
--ioengine=libaio --iodepth=128 --numjobs=16
and a dm-multipath device setup where each CPU is mapped to one path:
// When in mq mode I had to set dm_mq_nr_hw_queues=$NUM_PATHS.
// Bio mode also showed similar results.
0 16777216 multipath 0 0 1 1 io-affinity 0 16 1 8:16 1 8:32 2 8:64 4

400 8:192 800 8:208 1000 8:224 2000 8:240 4000 65:0 8000
we can see a IOPs increase of 25%.
The percent increase depends on the device and interconnect. For a
slower/medium speed path/device that can do around 180K IOPs a path
if you ran that fio command to it directly we saw a 25% increase like
above. Slower path'd devices that could do around 90K per path showed
maybe around a 2 - 5% increase. If you use something like null_blk or
scsi_debug which can multi-million IOPs and hack it up so each device
they export shows up as a path then you see 50%+ increases.
