* cfq-iosched: Respect ioprio_class when preemptingDivyesh Shah2010-01-11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | In cfq_should_preempt(), we currently allow some cases where a non-RT request can preempt an ongoing RT cfqq timeslice. This should not happen. Examples include: o A sync_noidle wl type non-RT request pre-empting a sync_noidle wl type cfqq on which we are idling. o Once we have per-cgroup async queues, a non-RT sync request pre-empting a RT async cfqq.

* cfq-iosched: Remove prio_change logic for workload selectionVivek Goyal2009-12-18
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | o CFQ now internally divides cfq queues in therr workload categories. sync-idle, sync-noidle and async. Which workload to run depends primarily on rb_key offset across three service trees. Which is a combination of mulitiple things including what time queue got queued on the service tree. There is one exception though. That is if we switched the prio class, say we served some RT tasks and again started serving BE class, then with-in BE class we always started with sync-noidle workload irrespective of rb_key offset in service trees. This can provide better latencies for sync-noidle workload in the presence of RT tasks. o This patch gets rid of that exception and which workload to run with-in class always depends on lowest rb_key across service trees. The reason being that now we have multiple BE class groups and if we always switch to sync-noidle workload with-in group, we can potentially starve a sync-idle workload with-in group. Same is true for async workload which will be in root group. Also the workload-switching with-in group will become very unpredictable as it now depends whether some RT workload was running in the system or not.

* cfq-iosched: Remove the check for same cfq group from allow_mergeVivek Goyal2009-12-18
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | o allow_merge() already checks if submitting task is pointing to same cfqq as rq has been queued in. If everything is fine, we should not be having a task in one cgroup and having a pointer to cfqq in other cgroup. Well I guess in some situations it can happen and that is, when a random IO queue has been moved into root cgroup for group_isolation=0. In this case, tasks's cgroup/group is different from where actually cfqq is, but this is intentional and in this case merging should be allowed. The second situation is where due to close cooperator patches, multiple processes can be sharing a cfqq. If everything implemented right, we should not end up in a situation where tasks from different processes in different groups are sharing the same cfqq as we allow merging of cooperating queues only if they are in same group.

* cfq-iosched: Take care of corner cases of group losing share due to deletionVivek Goyal2009-12-09
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If there is a sequential reader running in a group, we wait for next request to come in that group after slice expiry and once new request is in, we expire the queue. Otherwise we delete the group from service tree and group looses its fair share. So far I was marking a queue as wait_busy if it had consumed its slice and it was last queue in the group. But this condition did not cover following two cases. 1.If a request completed and slice has not expired yet. Next request comes in and is dispatched to disk. Now select_queue() hits and slice has expired. This group will be deleted. Because request is still in the disk, this queue will never get a chance to wait_busy. 2.If request completed and slice has not expired yet. Before next request comes in (delay due to think time), select_queue() hits and expires the queue hence group. This queue never got a chance to wait busy. Gui was hitting the boundary condition 1 and not getting fairness numbers proportional to weight. This patch puts the checks for above two conditions and improves the fairness numbers for sequential workload on rotational media. Check in select_queue() takes care of case 1 and additional check in should_wait_busy() takes care of case 2.

* blkio: Implement dynamic io controlling policy registrationVivek Goyal2009-12-04
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | o One of the goals of block IO controller is that it should be able to support mulitple io control policies, some of which be operational at higher level in storage hierarchy. o To begin with, we had one io controlling policy implemented by CFQ, and I hard coded the CFQ functions called by blkio. This created issues when CFQ is compiled as module. o This patch implements a basic dynamic io controlling policy registration functionality in blkio. This is similar to elevator functionality where ioschedulers register the functions dynamically. o Now in future, when more IO controlling policies are implemented, these can dynakically register with block IO controller.

* blkio: Wait on sync-noidle queue even if rq_noidle = 1Vivek Goyal2009-12-03
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | o rq_noidle() is supposed to tell cfq that do not expect a request after this one, hence don't idle. But this does not seem to work very well. For example for direct random readers, rq_noidle = 1 but there is next request coming after this. Not idling, leads to a group not getting its share even if group_isolation=1. o The right solution for this issue is to scan the higher layers and set right flag (WRITE_SYNC or WRITE_ODIRECT). For the time being, this single line fix helps. This should not have any significant impact when we are not using cgroups. I will later figure out IO paths in higher layer and fix it.

* blkio: Implement group_isolation tunableVivek Goyal2009-12-03
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | o If a group is running only a random reader, then it will not have enough traffic to keep disk busy and we will reduce overall throughput. This should result in better latencies for random reader though. If we don't idle on random reader service tree, then this random reader will experience large latencies if there are other groups present in system with sequential readers running in these. o One solution suggested by corrado is that by default keep the random readers or sync-noidle workload in root group so that during one dispatch round we idle only once on sync-noidle tree. This means that all the sync-idle workload queues will be in their respective group and we will see service differentiation in those but not on sync-noidle workload. o Provide a tunable group_isolation. If set, this will make sure that even sync-noidle queues go in their respective group and we wait on these. This provides stronger isolation between groups but at the expense of throughput if group does not have enough traffic to keep the disk busy. o By default group_isolation = 0 Signed-off-by: Vivek Goyal <vgoyal@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com>

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Since commit 2f5cb7381b737e24c8046fd4aeab571fb71315f5, each queue can send up to 4 * 4 requests if only one queue exists. I wonder why we have such limit. Device supports tag can send more requests. For example, AHCI can send 31 requests. Test (direct aio randread) shows the limits reduce about 4% disk thoughput. On the other hand, since we send one request one time, if other queue pop when current is sending more than cfq_quantum requests, current queue will stop send requests soon after one request, so sounds there is no big latency.

* cfq-iosched: fix corner cases in idling logicCorrado Zoccolo2009-11-26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Idling logic was disabled in some corner cases, leading to unfair share for noidle queues. * the idle timer was not armed if there were other requests in the driver. unfortunately, those requests could come from other workloads, or queues for which we don't enable idling. So we will check only pending requests from the active queue * rq_noidle check on no-idle queue could disable the end of tree idle if the last completed request was rq_noidle. Now, we will disable that idle only if all the queues served in the no-idle tree had rq_noidle requests.

* cfq-iosched: idling on deep seeky sync queuesCorrado Zoccolo2009-11-26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Seeky sync queues with large depth can gain unfairly big share of disk time, at the expense of other seeky queues. This patch ensures that idling will be enabled for queues with I/O depth at least 4, and small think time. The decision to enable idling is sticky, until an idle window times out without seeing a new request. The reasoning behind the decision is that, if an application is using large I/O depth, it is already optimized to make full utilization of the hardware, and therefore we reserve a slice of exclusive use for it.

* cfq-iosched: fix no-idle preemption logicCorrado Zoccolo2009-11-26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | An incoming no-idle queue should preempt the active no-idle queue only if the active queue is idling due to service tree empty. Previous code was buggy in two ways: * it relied on service_tree field to be set on the active queue, while it is not set when the code is idling for a new request * it didn't check for the service tree empty condition, so could lead to LIFO behaviour if multiple queues with depth > 1 were preempting each other on an non-NCQ device.

* cfq-iosched: fix ncq detection codeCorrado Zoccolo2009-11-26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | CFQ's detection of queueing devices initially assumes a queuing device and detects if the queue depth reaches a certain threshold. However, it will reconsider this choice periodically. Unfortunately, if device is considered not queuing, CFQ will force a unit queue depth for some workloads, thus defeating the detection logic. This leads to poor performance on queuing hardware, since the idle window remains enabled. Given this premise, switching to hw_tag = 0 after we have proved at least once that the device is NCQ capable is not a good choice. The new detection code starts in an indeterminate state, in which CFQ behaves as if hw_tag = 1, and then, if for a long observation period we never saw large depth, we switch to hw_tag = 0, otherwise we stick to hw_tag = 1, without reconsidering it again.

* cfq-iosched: cleanup unreachable codeCorrado Zoccolo2009-11-26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | cfq_should_idle returns false for no-idle queues that are not the last, so the control flow will never reach the removed code in a state that satisfies the if condition. The unreachable code was added to emulate previous cfq behaviour for non-NCQ rotational devices. My tests show that even without it, the performances and fairness are comparable with previous cfq, thanks to the fact that all seeky queues are grouped together, and that we idle at the end of the tree.

* cfq: Make use of service count to estimate the rb_key offsetGui Jianfeng2009-11-26
| | | | | | | | | | | For the moment, different workload cfq queues are put into different service trees. But CFQ still uses "busy_queues" to estimate rb_key offset when inserting a cfq queue into a service tree. I think this isn't appropriate, and it should make use of service tree count to do this estimation. This patch is for for-2.6.33 branch.
