Hi, blk-mq and percpu_ida use similar algorithm to manage tags. The difference is when a cpu can't allocate tags, blk-mq will use ipi to purge remote cpu cache, while percpu-ida directly purges remote cpu cache. In practice, the percpu-ida approach is much faster when we can't allocate enough for percpu cache.
This patch makes blk-mq use percpu_ida to manage tags, this avoids some duplicate code and has better performance as I mentioned. To test the patches, rebase blk-mq tree to latest kernel first.
