      cfq-iosched: Do not idle on async queues · 1efe8fe1
      Vivek Goyal 提交于
      Few weeks back, Shaohua Li had posted similar patch. I am reposting it
      with more test results.
      
      This patch does two things.
      
      - Do not idle on async queues.
      
      - It also changes the write queue depth CFQ drives (cfq_may_dispatch()).
        Currently, we seem to driving queue depth of 1 always for WRITES. This is
        true even if there is only one write queue in the system and all the logic
        of infinite queue depth in case of single busy queue as well as slowly
        increasing queue depth based on last delayed sync request does not seem to
        be kicking in at all.
      
      This patch will allow deeper WRITE queue depths (subjected to the other
      WRITE queue depth contstraints like cfq_quantum and last delayed sync
      request).
      
      Shaohua Li had reported getting more out of his SSD. For me, I have got
      one Lun exported from an HP EVA and when pure buffered writes are on, I
      can get more out of the system. Following are test results of pure
      buffered writes (with end_fsync=1) with vanilla and patched kernel. These
      results are average of 3 sets of run with increasing number of threads.

      I also ran buffered writes along with some sequential reads and some
      buffered reads going on in the system on a SATA disk because the potential
      risk could be that we should not be driving queue depth higher in presence
      of sync IO going to keep the max clat low.
      
      With some random and sequential reads going on in the system on one SATA
      disk I did not see any significant increase in max clat. So it looks like
      other WRITE queue depth control logic is doing its job. Here are the
      results.

      To prevent deadlock, we should take locks as following sequence:
      
      blkio_list_lock -> queue_lock ->  blkcg_lock.
      
      The following patch should fix this bug.
