* | cfq-iosched: use call_rcu() instead of doing grace period stall on queue exitJens Axboe2009-12-06
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | After the merge of the IO controller patches, booting on my megaraid box ran much slower. Vivek Goyal traced it down to megaraid discovery creating tons of devices, each suffering a grace period when they later kill that queue (if no device is found). So lets use call_rcu() to batch these deferred frees, instead of taking the grace period hit for each one. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com>

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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>

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | o Async queues are not per group. Instead these are system wide and maintained in root group. Hence their workload slice length should be calculated based on total number of queues in the system and not just queues in the root group. o As root group's default weight is 1000, make sure to charge async queue more in terms of vtime so that it does not get more time on disk because root group has higher weight.

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.

* | block: Allow devices to indicate whether discarded blocks are zeroedMartin K. Petersen2009-12-03
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The discard ioctl is used by mkfs utilities to clear a block device prior to putting metadata down. However, not all devices return zeroed blocks after a discard. Some drives return stale data, potentially containing old superblocks. It is therefore important to know whether discarded blocks are properly zeroed. Both ATA and SCSI drives have configuration bits that indicate whether zeroes are returned after a discard operation. Implement a block level interface that allows this information to be bubbled up the stack and queried via a new block device ioctl. Signed-off-by: Martin K.

* | 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'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.

* | block: Expose discard granularityMartin K. Petersen2009-11-10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | While SSDs track block usage on a per-sector basis, RAID arrays often have allocation blocks that are bigger. Allow the discard granularity and alignment to be set and teach the topology stacking logic how to handle them. Signed-off-by: Martin K.

* | block/scsi_ioctl.c: quiet sparse noiseH Hartley Sweeten2009-11-04
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Quiet sparse noise about symbol's not being declared. Symbol blk_default_cmd_filter is only used locally and should be static. The function blk_scsi_ioctl_init() is a fs_initcall and should also be static.
