      blk-mq-sched: fix performance regression of mq-deadline · 32825c45
      Ming Lei 提交于
      When mq-deadline is taken, IOPS of sequential read and
      seqential write is observed more than 20% drop on sata(scsi-mq)
      devices, compared with using 'none' scheduler.
      
      The reason is that the default nr_requests for scheduler is
      too big for small queuedepth devices, and latency is increased
      much.
      
      Since the principle of taking 256 requests for mq scheduler
      is based on 128 queue depth, this patch changes into
      double size of min(hw queue_depth, 128).

      block, bfq: don't change ioprio class for a bfq_queue on a service tree · 431b17f9
      Paolo Valente 提交于
      On each deactivation or re-scheduling (after being served) of a
      bfq_queue, BFQ invokes the function __bfq_entity_update_weight_prio(),
      to perform pending updates of ioprio, weight and ioprio class for the
      bfq_queue. BFQ also invokes this function on I/O-request dispatches,
      to raise or lower weights more quickly when needed, thereby improving
      latency. However, the entity representing the bfq_queue may be on the
      active (sub)tree of a service tree when this happens, and, although
      with a very low probability, the bfq_queue may happen to also have a
      pending change of its ioprio class. If both conditions hold when
      __bfq_entity_update_weight_prio() is invoked, then the entity moves to
      a sort of hybrid state: the new service tree for the entity, as
      returned by bfq_entity_service_tree(), differs from service tree on
      which the entity still is. The functions that handle activations and
      deactivations of entities do not cope with such a hybrid state (and
      would need to become more complex to cope).
      
      This commit addresses this issue by just making
      __bfq_entity_update_weight_prio() not perform also a possible pending
      change of ioprio class, when invoked on an I/O-request dispatch for a
      bfq_queue. Such a change is thus postponed to when
      __bfq_entity_update_weight_prio() is invoked on deactivation or
      re-scheduling of the bfq_queue.

      Linus Torvalds 提交于
      Pull core block/IO updates from Jens Axboe:
       "This is the main pull request for the block layer for 4.13. Not a huge
        round in terms of features, but there's a lot of churn related to some
        core cleanups.
      
        Note this depends on the UUID tree pull request, that Christoph
        already sent out.
      
        This pull request contains:
      
         - A series from Christoph, unifying the error/stats codes in the
           block layer. We now use blk_status_t everywhere, instead of using
           different schemes for different places.
      
         - Also from Christoph, some cleanups around request allocation and IO
           scheduler interactions in blk-mq.
      
         - And yet another series from Christoph, cleaning up how we handle
           and do bounce buffering in the block layer.
      
         - A blk-mq debugfs series from Bart, further improving on the support
           we have for exporting internal information to aid debugging IO
           hangs or stalls.
      
         - Also from Bart, a series that cleans up the request initialization
           differences across types of devices.
      
         - A series from Goldwyn Rodrigues, allowing the block layer to return
           failure if we will block and the user asked for non-blocking.
      
         - Patch from Hannes for supporting setting loop devices block size to
           that of the underlying device.
      
         - Two series of patches from Javier, fixing various issues with
           lightnvm, particular around pblk.
      
         - A series from me, adding support for write hints. This comes with
           NVMe support as well, so applications can help guide data placement
           on flash to improve performance, latencies, and write
           amplification.
      
         - A series from Ming, improving and hardening blk-mq support for
           stopping/starting and quiescing hardware queues.
      
         - Two pull requests for NVMe updates. Nothing major on the feature
           side, but lots of cleanups and bug fixes. From the usual crew.
      
         - A series from Neil Brown, greatly improving the bio rescue set
           support. Most notably, this kills the bio rescue work queues, if we
           don't really need them.
      
         - Lots of other little bug fixes that are all over the place"
