The following commit was added in bug fa55b5d226dd.

7ac257b862f2c (“blk-mq: remove the request_list usage”)

This commit cleans up unused code in block-mq (mq uses pre-allocated tags to allocate request, not request_list as it's used only in legacy queue).

A test kernel with a revert of this commit would prove if it is the cause of this regression.

This commit was also added to the Ubuntu-azure-4.18.0-1017 kernel. Are we seeing expected performing with that kernel?

I built a test kernel reverting the commit that Joe has mention:

The test kernel is reaching 52K IOPS as expected.

@Marcelo Cerri, just to confirm, the test kernel posted in comment #6 only had commit 7ac257b862f2c reverted?

Exactly, Joseph. I'm attaching the exact patch I used for building the test kernel.

Hi, Joe. Do you think the revert is enough for now, or should we discuss about eventyually including the changes that you had mentioned on the comment #5 in the bug #1819689?

This patch was intended to increase performance, not reduce it. Is it too late to revert it?

@longli I would like your assessment of the changes that we've made here to get back to expected performance. I know we are not getting the same results on NVMe devices with 16.04 and 18.04 and I'm wondering if there's something substantially different with the 4.15 kernel in use on 16.04 that prevents us from making the same changes that we did with 4.18 to get better performance.

@marcelo, we do want the changes requested in comment #5 in bug 1819689. We can wait for the results of Long Li's investigation before proceeding there.

Thanks for the feedback, @jsalisbury.

So we are proceeding with the revert for now. Later when Long Li's investigation is ready, can you open a new bug listing the remaining commits that need to be included?
