      block: add scalable completion tracking of requests · cf43e6be
      Jens Axboe 提交于
      For legacy block, we simply track them in the request queue. For
      blk-mq, we track them on a per-sw queue basis, which we can then
      sum up through the hardware queues and finally to a per device
      state.
      
      The stats are tracked in, roughly, 0.1s interval windows.
      
      Add sysfs files to display the stats.
      
      The feature is off by default, to avoid any extra overhead. In-kernel
      users of it can turn it on by setting QUEUE_FLAG_STATS in the queue
      flags. We currently don't turn it on if someone just reads any of
      the stats files, that is something we could add as well.

      block: cfq_cpd_alloc() should use @gfp · ebc4ff66
      Tejun Heo 提交于
      cfq_cpd_alloc() which is the cpd_alloc_fn implementation for cfq was
      incorrectly hard coding GFP_KERNEL instead of using the mask specified
      through the @gfp parameter.  This currently doesn't cause any actual
      issues because all current callers specify GFP_KERNEL.  Fix it.

      blk-mq: Always schedule hctx->next_cpu · c02ebfdd
      Gabriel Krisman Bertazi 提交于
      Commit 0e87e58b ("blk-mq: improve warning for running a queue on the
      wrong CPU") attempts to avoid triggering the WARN_ON in
      __blk_mq_run_hw_queue when the expected CPU is dead.  Problem is, in the
      last batch execution before round robin, blk_mq_hctx_next_cpu can
      schedule a dead CPU and also update next_cpu to the next alive CPU in
      the mask, which will trigger the WARN_ON despite the previous
      workaround.
      
      The following patch fixes this scenario by always scheduling the value
      in hctx->next_cpu.  This changes the moment when we round-robin the CPU
      running the hctx, but it really doesn't matter, since it still executes
      BLK_MQ_CPU_WORK_BATCH times in a row before switching to another CPU.

      block: add code to track actual device queue depth · d278d4a8
      Jens Axboe 提交于
      For blk-mq, ->nr_requests does track queue depth, at least at init
      time. But for the older queue paths, it's simply a soft setting.
      On top of that, it's generally larger than the hardware setting
      on purpose, to allow backup of requests for merging.
      
      Fill a hole in struct request with a 'queue_depth' member, that
      drivers can call to more closely inform the block layer of the
      real queue depth.

      block: immediately dispatch big size request · 50d24c34
      Shaohua Li 提交于
      Currently block plug holds up to 16 non-mergeable requests. This makes
      sense if the request size is small, eg, reduce lock contention. But if
      request size is big enough, we don't need to worry about lock
      contention. Holding such request makes no sense and it lows the disk
      utilization.
      
      In practice, this improves 10% throughput for my raid5 sequential write
      workload.
      
      The size (128k) is arbitrary right now, but it makes sure lock
      contention is small. This probably could be more intelligent, eg, check
      average request size holded. Since this is mainly for sequential IO,
      probably not worthy.
      
      V2: check the last request instead of the first request, so as long as
      there is one big size request we flush the plug.

      latent_entropy: Mark functions with __latent_entropy · 0766f788
      Emese Revfy 提交于
      The __latent_entropy gcc attribute can be used only on functions and
      variables.  If it is on a function then the plugin will instrument it for
      gathering control-flow entropy. If the attribute is on a variable then
      the plugin will initialize it with random contents.  The variable must
      be an integer, an integer array type or a structure with integer fields.
      
      These specific functions have been selected because they are init
      functions (to help gather boot-time entropy), are called at unpredictable
      times, or they have variable loops, each of which provide some level of
      latent entropy.

      cfq: fix starvation of asynchronous writes · 3932a86b
      Glauber Costa 提交于
      While debugging timeouts happening in my application workload (ScyllaDB), I have
      observed calls to open() taking a long time, ranging everywhere from 2 seconds -
      the first ones that are enough to time out my application - to more than 30
      seconds.
      
      The problem seems to happen because XFS may block on pending metadata updates
      under certain circumnstances, and that's confirmed with the following backtrace
      taken by the offcputime tool (iovisor/bcc):

      Inspecting my run with blktrace, I can see that the xfsaild kthread exhibit very
      high "Dispatch wait" times, on the dozens of seconds range and consistent with
      the open() times I have saw in that run.
      
      Still from the blktrace output, we can after searching a bit, identify the
      request that wasn't dispatched:
      
        8,0   11      152    81.092472813   804  A  WM 141698288 + 8 <- (8,1) 141696240

        <==== 'I' means Inserted (into the IO scheduler) ===================================>
        8,0    0   289372    96.718761435     0  D  WM 141698288 + 8 (15626265317) [swapper/0]
        <==== Only 15s later the CFQ scheduler dispatches the request ======================>
      
      As we can see above, in this particular example CFQ took 15 seconds to dispatch
      this request. Going back to the full trace, we can see that the xfsaild queue
      had plenty of opportunity to run, and it was selected as the active queue many
      times. It would just always be preempted by something else (example):
      
        8,0    1        0    81.117912979     0  m   N cfq1618SN / insert_request
        8,0    1        0    81.117913419     0  m   N cfq1618SN / add_to_rr
        8,0    1        0    81.117914044     0  m   N cfq1618SN / preempt
        8,0    1        0    81.117914398     0  m   N cfq767A  / slice expired t=1
        8,0    1        0    81.117914755     0  m   N cfq767A  / resid=40
        8,0    1        0    81.117915340     0  m   N / served: vt=1948520448 min_vt=1948520448
        8,0    1        0    81.117915858     0  m   N cfq767A  / sl_used=1 disp=0 charge=0 iops=1 sect=0
      
      where cfq767 is the xfsaild queue and cfq1618 corresponds to one of the ScyllaDB
      IO dispatchers.
      
      The requests preempting the xfsaild queue are synchronous requests. That's a
      characteristic of ScyllaDB workloads, as we only ever issue O_DIRECT requests.
      While it can be argued that preempting ASYNC requests in favor of SYNC is part
      of the CFQ logic, I don't believe that doing so for 15+ seconds is anyone's
      goal.
      
      Moreover, unless I am misunderstanding something, that breaks the expectation
      set by the "fifo_expire_async" tunable, which in my system is set to the
      default.
      
      Looking at the code, it seems to me that the issue is that after we make
      an async queue active, there is no guarantee that it will execute any request.
      
      When the queue itself tests if it cfq_may_dispatch() it can bail if it sees SYNC
      requests in flight. An incoming request from another queue can also preempt it
      in such situation before we have the chance to execute anything (as seen in the
      trace above).
      
      This patch sets the must_dispatch flag if we notice that we have requests
      that are already fifo_expired. This flag is always cleared after
      cfq_dispatch_request() returns from cfq_dispatch_requests(), so it won't pin
      the queue for subsequent requests (unless they are themselves expired)
      
      Care is taken during preempt to still allow rt requests to preempt us
      regardless.
      
      Testing my workload with this patch applied produces much better results.
      From the application side I see no timeouts, and the open() latency histogram
      generated by systemtap looks much better, with the worst outlier at 131ms:
