Currently we take a queue lock on each bio to check if there are any throttling rules associated with the group and also update the stats. Now access the group under rcu and update the stats without taking the queue lock. Queue lock is taken only if there are throttling rules associated with the group. So the common case of root group when there are no rules, save unnecessary pounding of request queue lock.

Currently we take blkg_stat lock for even updating the stats. So even if a group has no throttling rules (common case for root group), we end up taking blkg_lock, for updating the stats. Make dispatch stats per cpu so that these can be updated without taking blkg lock. If cpu goes offline, these stats simply disappear. No protection has been provided for that yet. Do we really need anything for that? Signed-off-by: NVivek Goyal <vgoyal@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: NJens Axboe <jaxboe@fusionio.com>

Currently, we allocate root throtl_grp statically.

Currently, all the cfq_group or throtl_group allocations happen while we are holding ->queue_lock and sleeping is not allowed. Soon, we will move to per cpu stats and also need to allocate the per group stats. As one can not call alloc_percpu() from atomic context as it can sleep, we need to drop ->queue_lock, allocate the group, retake the lock and continue processing. In throttling code, I check the queue DEAD flag again to make sure that driver did not call blk_cleanup_queue() in the mean time.

Currentlly we first map the task to cgroup and then cgroup to blkio_cgroup. There is a more direct way to get to blkio_cgroup from task using task_subsys_state(). Use that. The real reason for the fix is that it also avoids a race in generic cgroup code. During remount/umount rebind_subsystems() is called and it can do following with and rcu protection. cgrp->subsys[i] = NULL; That means if somebody got hold of cgroup under rcu and then it tried to do cgroup->subsys[] to get to blkio_cgroup, it would get NULL which is wrong. I was running into this race condition with ltp running on a upstream derived kernel and that lead to crash. So ideally we should also fix cgroup generic code to wait for rcu grace period before setting pointer to NULL. Li Zefan is not very keen on introducing synchronize_wait() as he thinks it will slow down moun/remount/umount operations. So for the time being atleast fix the kernel crash by taking a more direct route to blkio_cgroup. One tester had reported a crash while running LTP on a derived kernel and with this fix crash is no more seen while the test has been running for over 6 days.

Lina reported that if throttle limits are initially very high and then dropped, then no new bio might be dispatched for a long time. And the reason being that after dropping the limits we don't reset the existing slice and do the rate calculation with new low rate and account the bios dispatched at high rate. To fix it, reset the slice upon rate change. https://lkml.org/lkml/2011/3/10/298 Another problem with very high limit is that we never queued the bio on throtl service tree. That means we kept on extending the group slice but never trimmed it. Fix that also by regulary trimming the slice even if bio is not being queued up.

While reviewing that code, oleg noted couple of race conditions existed in the code and he also suggested that code can be simplified.

With the help of cgroup interface one can go and upate the bps/iops limits of existing group. Once the limits are udpated, a thread is woken up to see if some blocked group needs recalculation based on new limits and needs to be requeued. There was also a piece of code where I was checking for group limit update when a fresh bio comes in. This patch gets rid of that piece of code and keeps processing the limit change at one place throtl_process_limit_change(). It just keeps the code simple and easy to understand.

Move blk_throtl_exit() in blk_cleanup_queue() as blk_throtl_exit() is written in such a way that it needs queue lock. In blk_release_queue() there is no gurantee that ->queue_lock is still around. Initially blk_throtl_exit() was in blk_cleanup_queue() but Ingo reported one problem. https://lkml.org/lkml/2010/10/23/86 And a quick fix moved blk_throtl_exit() to blk_release_queue(). commit 7ad58c02 Author: Jens Axboe <jaxboe@fusionio.com> Date: Sat Oct 23 20:40:26 2010 +0200 block: fix use-after-free bug in blk throttle code This patch reverts above change and does not try to shutdown the throtl work in blk_sync_queue(). By avoiding call to throtl_shutdown_timer_wq() from blk_sync_queue(), we should also avoid the problem reported by Ingo. blk_sync_queue() seems to be used only by md driver and it seems to be using it to make sure q->unplug_fn is not called as md registers its own unplug functions and it is about to free up the data structures used by unplug_fn(). Block throttle does not call back into unplug_fn() or into md. So there is no need to cancel blk throttle work. In fact I think cancelling block throttle work is bad because it might happen that some bios are throttled and scheduled to be dispatched later with the help of pending work and if work is cancelled, these bios might never be dispatched. Block layer also uses blk_sync_queue() during blk_cleanup_queue() and blk_release_queue() time. That should be safe as we are also calling blk_throtl_exit() which should make sure all the throttling related data structures are cleaned up.

o Dominik Klein reported a system hang issue while doing some blkio throttling testing. https://lkml.org/lkml/2011/2/24/173 o Some tracing revealed that CFQ was not dispatching any more jobs as queue unplug was not happening. And queue unplug was not happening because unplug work was not being called as there was one throttling work on same cpu which as not finished yet. And throttling work had not finished as it was tyring to dispatch a bio to CFQ but all the request descriptors were consume to it was put to sleep. o So basically it is a cyclic dependecny between CFQ unplug work and throtl dispatch work. Tejun suggested that use separate workqueue for such cases. o This patch uses a separate workqueue for throttle related work and does not rely on kblockd workqueue anymore.

o Jeff Moyer was doing some testing on a RAM backed disk and blkiocg_lookup_group() showed up high overhead after memcpy(). Similarly somebody else reported that blkiocg_lookup_group() is eating 6% extra cpu. Though looking at the code I can't think why the overhead of this function is so high. One thing is that it is called with very high frequency (once for every IO). o For lot of folks blkio controller will be compiled in but they might not have actually created cgroups. Hence optimize the case of root cgroup where we can avoid calling blkiocg_lookup_group() if IO is happening in root group (common case).

o I was discussing what are the variable being updated without spin lock and why do we need barriers and Oleg pointed out that location of smp_rmb() should be between read of td->limits_changed and tg->limits_changed. This patch fixes it. o Following is one possible sequence of events. Say cpu0 is executing throtl_update_blkio_group_read_bps() and cpu1 is executing throtl_process_limit_change(). cpu0 cpu1 tg->limits_changed = true; smp_mb__before_atomic_inc(); atomic_inc(&td->limits_changed); if (!atomic_read(&td->limits_changed)) return; if (tg->limits_changed) do_something; If cpu0 has updated tg->limits_changed and td->limits_changed, we want to make sure that if update to td->limits_changed is visible on cpu1, then update to tg->limits_changed should also be visible. Oleg pointed out to ensure that we need to insert an smp_rmb() between td->limits_changed read and tg->limits_changed read. o I had erroneously put smp_rmb() before atomic_read(&td->limits_changed).

o During some testing I did following and noticed throttling stops working. - Put a very low limit on a cgroup, say 1 byte per second. - Start some reads, this will set slice_end to a very high value. - Change the limit to higher value say 1MB/s - Now IO unthrottles and finishes as expected. - Try to do the read again but IO is not limited to 1MB/s as expected. o What is happening. - Initially low value of limit sets slice_end to a very high value. - During updation of limit, slice_end is not being truncated. - Very high value of slice_end leads to keeping the existing slice valid for a very long time and new slice does not start. - tg_may_dispatch() is called in blk_throtle_bio(), and trim_slice() is not called in this path. So slice_start is some old value and practically we are able to do huge amount of IO. o There are many ways it can be fixed. I have fixed it by trying to adjust/cleanup slice_end in trim_slice(). Generally we extend slices if bio is big and can't be dispatched in one slice. After dispatch of bio, readjust the slice_end to make sure we don't end up with huge values.

o Currently any cgroup throttle limit changes are processed asynchronousy and the change does not take affect till a new bio is dispatched from same group. o It might happen that a user sets a redicuously low limit on throttling. Say 1 bytes per second on reads. In such cases simple operations like mount a disk can wait for a very long time. o Once bio is throttled, there is no easy way to come out of that wait even if user increases the read limit later. o This patch fixes it. Now if a user changes the cgroup limits, we recalculate the bio dispatch time according to new limits. o Can't take queueu lock under blkcg_lock, hence after the change I wake up the dispatch thread again which recalculates the time. So there are some variables being synchronized across two threads without lock and I had to make use of barriers. Hoping I have used barriers correctly. Any review of memory barrier code especially will help. Signed-off-by: NVivek Goyal <vgoyal@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: NJens Axboe <jaxboe@fusionio.com>
