From 6679a90c4b0dc2563383df1fe0eb170736952a2e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Shaohua Li Date: Tue, 6 Jun 2017 12:40:43 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] blk-throttle: set default latency baseline for harddisk hard disk IO latency varies a lot depending on spindle move. The latency range could be from several microseconds to several milliseconds. It's pretty hard to get the baseline latency used by io.low. We will use a different stragety here. The idea is only using IO with spindle move to determine if cgroup IO is in good state. For HD, if io latency is small (< 1ms), we ignore the IO. Such IO is likely from sequential IO, and is helpless to help determine if a cgroup's IO is impacted by other cgroups. With this, we only account IO with big latency. Then we can choose a hardcoded baseline latency for HD (4ms, which is typical IO latency with seek). With all these settings, the io.low latency works for both HD and SSD.
