| * block: Make cfq_target_latency tunable through sysfs.Tao Ma2012-04-011-2/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In cfq, when we calculate a time slice for a process(or a cfqq to be precise), we have to consider the cfq_target_latency so that all the sync request have an estimated latency(300ms) and it is controlled by cfq_target_latency. But in some hadoop test, we have found that if there are many processes doing sequential read(24 for example), the throughput is bad because every process can only work for about 25ms and the cfqq is switched. That leads to a higher disk seek. We can achive the good throughput by setting low_latency=0, but then some read's latency is too much for the application. So this patch makes cfq_target_latency tunable through sysfs so that we can tune it and find some magic number which is not bad for both the throughput and the read latency.

* | blkcg: embed struct blkg_policy_data in policy specific dataTejun Heo2012-04-201-19/+27
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently blkg_policy_data carries policy specific data as char flex array instead of being embedded in policy specific data. This was forced by oddities around blkg allocation which are all gone now. This patch makes blkg_policy_data embedded in policy specific data - throtl_grp and cfq_group so that it's more conventional and consistent with how io_cq is handled. * blkcg_policy->pdata_size is renamed to ->pd_size. * Functions which used to take void *pdata now takes struct blkg_policy_data *pd. * blkg_to_pdata/pdata_to_blkg() updated to blkg_to_pd/pd_to_blkg(). * Dummy struct blkg_policy_data definition added. Dummy pdata_to_blkg() definition was unused and inconsistent with the non-dummy version - correct dummy pd_to_blkg() added. * throtl and cfq updated accordingly. * As dummy blkg_to_pd/pd_to_blkg() are provided, blkg_to_cfqg/cfqg_to_blkg() don't need to be ifdef'd. Moved outside ifdef block. This patch doesn't introduce any functional change. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Cc: Vivek Goyal <vgoyal@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@kernel.dk>
* | blkcg: mass rename of blkcg APITejun Heo2012-04-201-39/+39
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | During the recent blkcg cleanup, most of blkcg API has changed to such extent that mass renaming wouldn't cause any noticeable pain.

* | blkcg: implement per-queue policy activationTejun Heo2012-04-201-21/+16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | All blkcg policies were assumed to be enabled on all request_queues. Due to various implementation obstacles, during the recent blkcg core updates, this was temporarily implemented as shooting down all !root blkgs on elevator switch and policy [de]registration combined with half-broken in-place root blkg updates. In addition to being buggy and racy, this meant losing all blkcg configurations across those events. Now that blkcg is cleaned up enough, this patch replaces the temporary implementation with proper per-queue policy activation. Each blkcg policy should call the new blkcg_[de]activate_policy() to enable and disable the policy on a specific queue. blkcg_activate_policy() allocates and installs policy data for the policy for all existing blkgs. blkcg_deactivate_policy() does the reverse. If a policy is not enabled for a given queue, blkg printing / config functions skip the respective blkg for the queue. blkcg_activate_policy() also takes care of root blkg creation, and cfq_init_queue() and blk_throtl_init() are updated accordingly. This replaces blkcg_bypass_{start|end}() and update_root_blkg_pd() unnecessary. Dropped. v2: cfq_init_queue() was returning uninitialized @ret on root_group alloc failure if !CONFIG_CFQ_GROUP_IOSCHED. Fixed.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | As with conf/stats file handling code, there's no reason for stat update code to live in blkcg core with policies calling into update them. The current organization is both inflexible and complex. This patch moves stat update code to specific policies. All blkiocg_update_*_stats() functions which deal with BLKIO_POLICY_PROP stats are collapsed into their cfq_blkiocg_update_*_stats() counterparts. blkiocg_update_dispatch_stats() is used by both policies and duplicated as throtl_update_dispatch_stats() and cfq_blkiocg_update_dispatch_stats().

* | blkcg: move conf/stat file handling code to policiesTejun Heo2012-04-011-3/+199
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | blkcg conf/stat handling is convoluted in that details which belong to specific policy implementations are all out in blkcg core and then policies hook into core layer to access and manipulate confs and stats. This sadly achieves both inflexibility (confs/stats can't be modified without messing with blkcg core) and complexity (all the call-ins and call-backs). The previous patches restructured conf and stat handling code such that they can be separated out. This patch relocates the file handling part. All conf/stat file handling code which belongs to BLKIO_POLICY_PROP is moved to cfq-iosched.c and all BKLIO_POLICY_THROTL code to blk-throtl.c. The move is verbatim except for blkio_update_group_{weight|bps|iops}() callbacks which relays conf changes to policies. The configuration settings are handled in policies themselves so the relaying isn't necessary. Conf setting functions are modified to directly call per-policy update functions and the relaying mechanism is dropped. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org>

* | cfq: don't use icq_get_changed()Tejun Heo2012-03-201-23/+40
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | cfq caches the associated cfqq's for a given cic. The cache needs to be flushed if the cic's ioprio or blkcg has changed. It is currently done by requiring the changing action to set the respective ICQ_*_CHANGED bit in the icq and testing it from cfq_set_request(), which involves iterating through all the affected icqs. All cfq wants to know is whether ioprio and/or blkcg have changed since the last flush and can be easily achieved by just remembering the current ioprio and blkcg ID in cic. This patch adds cic->{ioprio|blkcg_id}, updates all ioprio users to use the remembered value instead, and updates cfq_set_request() path such that, instead of using icq_get_changed(), the current values are compared against the remembered ones and trigger appropriate flush action if not. Condition tests are moved inside both _changed functions which are now named check_ioprio_changed() and check_blkcg_changed(). ioprio.h::task_ioprio*() can't be used anymore and replaced with open-coded IOPRIO_CLASS_NONE case in cfq_async_queue_prio().

Unfortunately, there are cases where IOs need to be routed via a different task which makes scheduling and cgroup limit enforcement applied completely incorrectly. For example, all bios delayed by blk-throttle end up being issued by a delayed work item and get assigned the io_context of the worker task which happens to serve the work item and dumped to the default block cgroup. This is double confusing as bios which aren't delayed end up in the correct cgroup and makes using blk-throttle and cfq propio together impossible. Any code which punts IO issuing to another task is affected which is getting more and more common (e.g. btrfs). As both io_context and cgroup are firmly tied to task including userland visible APIs to manipulate them, it makes a lot of sense to match up tasks to bios. This patch implements bio_associate_current() which associates the specified bio with %current. The bio will record the associated ioc and blkcg at that point and block layer will use the recorded ones regardless of which task actually ends up issuing the bio. bio release puts the associated ioc and blkcg.

This patch drops unncessary RCU locking replacing it with plain blkcg locking as necessary. * blkiocg_pre_destroy() already perform proper locking and don't need RCU.

This is unnatural and leads to various convolutions in partially used duplicate fields in blkg, config / stat access, and general management of blkgs. This patch make blkg's per cgroup-queue and let them serve all policies. blkgs are now created and destroyed by blkcg core proper. This will allow further consolidation of common management logic into blkcg core and API with better defined semantics and layering. As a transitional step to untangle blkg management, elvswitch and policy [de]registration, all blkgs except the root blkg are being shot down during elvswitch and bypass. This patch adds blkg_root_update() to update root blkg in place on policy change. This is hacky and racy but should be good enough as interim step until we get locking simplified and switch over to proper in-place update for all blkgs. -v2: Root blkgs need to be updated on elvswitch too and blkg_alloc() comment wasn't updated according to the function change. Fixed. Both pointed out by Vivek. -v3: v2 updated blkg_destroy_all() to invoke update_root_blkg_pd() for all policies. This freed root pd during elvswitch before the last queue finished exiting and led to oops. Directly invoke update_root_blkg_pd() only on BLKIO_POLICY_PROP from cfq_exit_queue(). This also is closer to what will be done with proper in-place blkg update. Reported by Vivek.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | With the previous patch to move blkg list heads and counters to request_queue and blkg, logic to manage them in both policies are almost identical and can be moved to blkcg core. This patch moves blkg link logic into blkg_lookup_create(), implements common blkg unlink code in blkg_destroy(), and updates blkg_destory_all() so that it's policy specific and can skip root group. The updated blkg_destroy_all() is now used to both clear queue for bypassing and elv switching, and release all blkgs on q exit. This patch introduces a race window where policy [de]registration may race against queue blkg clearing. This can only be a problem on cfq unload and shouldn't be a real problem in practice (and we have many other places where this race already exists). Future patches will remove these unlikely races.

This leads to duplicate codes in policies, hinders implementing common part in blkcg core with strong semantics, and forces duplicate blkg's for the same cgroup-q association. This patch introduces struct blkg_policy_data which is a separate data structure chained from blkg. Policies specifies the amount of private data it needs in its blkio_policy_type->pdata_size and blkcg core takes care of allocating them along with blkg which can be accessed using blkg_to_pdata(). blkg can be determined from pdata using pdata_to_blkg(). blkio_alloc_group_fn() method is accordingly updated to blkio_init_group_fn(). For consistency, tg_of_blkg() and cfqg_of_blkg() are replaced with blkg_to_tg() and blkg_to_cfqg() respectively, and functions to map in the reverse direction are added. Except that policy specific data now lives in a separate data structure from blkg, this patch doesn't introduce any functional difference. This will be used to unify blkg's for different policies.

It is used to identify the associated block device when printing out configuration or stats. This is redundant to begin with. A blkg is an association between a cgroup and a request_queue and it of course is possible to reach request_queue from blkg and synchronization conventions are in place for safe q dereferencing, so this shouldn't be necessary from the beginning. Furthermore, it's initialized by sscanf()ing the device name of backing_dev_info. The mind boggles. Anyways, if blkg is visible under rcu lock, we *know* that the associated request_queue hasn't gone away yet and its bdi is registered and alive - blkg can't be created for request_queue which hasn't been fully initialized and it can't go away before blkg is removed. Let stat and conf read functions get device name from blkg->q->backing_dev_info.dev and pass it down to printing functions and remove blkg->dev.

This behavior is completely out of the usual norms and outright confusing; furthermore, it uses dev_t number to match the configuration to devices, which is unpredictable to begin with and becomes completely unuseable if EXT_DEVT is fully used. It is wholely unnecessary - we already have fully functional userland mechanism to program devices being hotplugged which has full access to device identification, connection topology and filesystem information. Add a new struct blkio_group_conf which contains all blkcg configurations to blkio_group and let blkio_group, which can be created iff the associated device exists and is removed when the associated device goes away, carry all configurations. Note that, after this patch, all newly created blkg's will always have the default configuration (unlimited for throttling and blkcg's weight for propio).

Both are transitional and will be removed once the blkg management code is fully moved into blk-cgroup.c. * blkio_alloc_group_fn() allocates policy-specific blkg which is usually a larger data structure with blkg as the first entry and intiailizes it. Note that initialization of blkg proper, including percpu stats, is responsibility of blk-cgroup proper. Note that default config (weight, bps...) initialization is done from this method; otherwise, we end up violating locking order between blkcg and q locks via blkcg_get_CONF() functions. * blkio_link_group_fn() is called under queue_lock and responsible for linking the blkg to the queue. blkcg side is handled by blk-cgroup proper. * The common blkg creation function is named blkg_lookup_create() and blkiocg_lookup_group() is renamed to blkg_lookup() for consistency. Also, throtl / cfq related functions are similarly [re]named for consistency. This simplifies blkcg policy implementations and enables further cleanup. -v2: Vivek noticed that blkg_lookup_create() incorrectly tested blk_queue_dead() instead of blk_queue_bypass() leading a user of the function ending up creating a new blkg on bypassing queue.

Note that blk_throtl_init() callsite is pushed downwards in blk_alloc_queue_node() so that @q is sufficiently initialized for throtl_get_tg(). This simplifies root blkg handling noticeably for cfq and will allow further modularization of blkcg API. -v2: Vivek pointed out that using cfq_get_cfqg() won't work if CONFIG_CFQ_GROUP_IOSCHED is disabled.

Until queues are made aware of the policies that applies to them, as an interim step, all per-policy blkg data will be shot down. * blk-throtl doesn't need this change as it can't be disabled for a live queue; however, update it anyway as the scheduled blkg unification requires this behavior change. This means that blk-throtl configuration will be unnecessarily lost over elevator switch. This oddity will be removed after blkcg learns to associate individual policies with request_queues. * blk-throtl dosen't shoot down root_tg. This is to ease transition.

Although attempt_plug_merge() suggests that elevator is guaranteed to be there through the existing request on the plug list, nothing prevents plug merge from calling into dying or initializing elevator. For regular merges, bypass ensures elvpriv count to reach zero, which in turn prevents merges as all !ELVPRIV requests get REQ_SOFTBARRIER from forced back insertion. Plug merge doesn't check ELVPRIV, and, as the requests haven't gone through elevator insertion yet, it doesn't have SOFTBARRIER set allowing merges on a bypassed queue. This, for example, leads to the following crash during elevator switch.

They aren't on the elevator yet, so there's no elevator specific state to update. * Given the nature of plug merges - collecting bio's for the same purpose from the same issuer - elevator specific restrictions aren't applicable. So, simply don't call into elevator methods from plug merge by moving elv_bio_merged() from bio_attempt_*_merge() to blk_queue_bio(), and using blk_try_merge() in attempt_plug_merge(). This is based on Jens' patch to skip elevator_allow_merge_fn() from plug merge. Note that this makes per-cgroup merged stats skip plug merging.

* block: strip out locking optimization in put_io_context()Tejun Heo2012-02-071-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | put_io_context() performed a complex trylock dancing to avoid deferring ioc release to workqueue. It was also broken on UP because trylock was always assumed to succeed which resulted in unbalanced preemption count. While there are ways to fix the UP breakage, even the most pathological microbench (forced ioc allocation and tight fork/exit loop) fails to show any appreciable performance benefit of the optimization. Strip it out. If there turns out to be workloads which are affected by this change, simpler optimization from the discussion thread can be applied later.

* block,cfq: change code orderShaohua Li2012-01-191-3/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | cfq_slice_expired will change saved_workload_slice. It should be called first so saved_workload_slice is correctly set to 0 after workload type is changed. This fixes the code order changed by 54b466e44b1c7.
