* cfq-iosched: enable full blkcg hierarchy supportTejun Heo2013-01-091-15/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | With the previous two patches, all cfqg scheduling decisions are based on vfraction and ready for hierarchy support. The only thing which keeps the behavior flat is cfqg_flat_parent() which makes vfraction calculation consider all non-root cfqgs children of the root cfqg. Replace it with cfqg_parent() which returns the real parent. This enables full blkcg hierarchy support for cfq-iosched. For example, consider the following hierarchy. root / \ A:500 B:250 / \ AA:500 AB:1000 For simplicity, let's say all the leaf nodes have active tasks and are on service tree. For each leaf node, vfraction would be AA: (500 / 1500) * (500 / 750) =~ 0.2222 AB: (1000 / 1500) * (500 / 750) =~ 0.4444 B: (250 / 750) =~ 0.3333 and vdisktime will be distributed accordingly. For more detail, please refer to Documentation/block/cfq-iosched.txt. v2: cfq-iosched.txt updated to describe group scheduling as suggested by Vivek. v3: blkio-controller.txt updated.

* cfq-iosched: convert cfq_group_slice() to use cfqg->vfractionTejun Heo2013-01-091-6/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | cfq_group_slice() calculates slice by taking a fraction of cfq_target_latency according to the ratio of cfqg->weight against service_tree->total_weight. This currently works only because all cfqgs are treated to be at the same level. To prepare for proper hierarchy support, convert cfq_group_slice() to base the calculation on cfqg->vfraction. As cfqg->vfraction is always a fraction of 1 and represents the fraction allocated to the cfqg with hierarchy considered, the slice can be simply calculated by multiplying cfqg->vfraction to cfq_target_latency (with fixed point shift factored in). As vfraction calculation currently treats all non-root cfqgs as children of the root cfqg, this patch doesn't introduce noticeable behavior difference.

* cfq-iosched: implement hierarchy-ready cfq_group charge scalingTejun Heo2013-01-091-30/+77
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently, cfqg charges are scaled directly according to cfqg->weight. Regardless of the number of active cfqgs or the amount of active weights, a given weight value always scales charge the same way. This works fine as long as all cfqgs are treated equally regardless of their positions in the hierarchy, which is what cfq currently implements. It can't work in hierarchical settings because the interpretation of a given weight value depends on where the weight is located in the hierarchy. This patch reimplements cfqg charge scaling so that it can be used to support hierarchy properly. The scheme is fairly simple and light-weight. * When a cfqg is added to the service tree, v(disktime)weight is calculated. It walks up the tree to root calculating the fraction it has in the hierarchy. At each level, the fraction can be calculated as cfqg->weight / parent->level_weight By compounding these, the global fraction of vdisktime the cfqg has claim to - vfraction - can be determined. * When the cfqg needs to be charged, the charge is scaled inversely proportionally to the vfraction. The new scaling scheme uses the same CFQ_SERVICE_SHIFT for fixed point representation as before; however, the smallest scaling factor is now 1 (ie. 1 << CFQ_SERVICE_SHIFT). This is different from before where 1 was for CFQ_WEIGHT_DEFAULT and higher weight would result in smaller scaling factor. While this shifts the global scale of vdisktime a bit, it doesn't change the relative relationships among cfqgs and the scheduling result isn't different. cfq_group_notify_queue_add uses fixed CFQ_IDLE_DELAY when appending new cfqg to the service tree. The specific value of CFQ_IDLE_DELAY didn't have any relevance to vdisktime before and is unlikely to cause any visible behavior difference now especially as the scale shift isn't that large. As the new scheme now makes proper distinction between cfqg->weight and ->leaf_weight, reverse the weight aliasing for root cfqgs. For root, both weights are now mapped to ->leaf_weight instead of the other way around. Because we're still using cfqg_flat_parent(), this patch shouldn't change the scheduling behavior in any noticeable way. v2: Beefed up comments on vfraction as requested by Vivek.

* cfq-iosched: implement cfq_group->nr_active and ->children_weightTejun Heo2013-01-091-0/+76
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | To prepare for blkcg hierarchy support, add cfqg->nr_active and ->children_weight. cfqg->nr_active counts the number of active cfqgs at the cfqg's level and ->children_weight is sum of weights of those cfqgs. The level covers itself (cfqg->leaf_weight) and immediate children. The two values are updated when a cfqg enters and leaves the group service tree. Unless the hierarchy is very deep, the added overhead should be negligible. Currently, the parent is determined using cfqg_flat_parent() which makes the root cfqg the parent of all other cfqgs. This is to make the transition to hierarchy-aware scheduling gradual. Scheduling logic will be converted to use cfqg->children_weight without actually changing the behavior. When everything is ready, blkcg_weight_parent() will be replaced with proper parent function. This patch doesn't introduce any behavior chagne. v2: s/cfqg->level_weight/cfqg->children_weight/ as per Vivek. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Acked-by: Vivek Goyal <vgoyal@redhat.com>
* cfq-iosched: add leaf_weightTejun Heo2013-01-093-9/+130
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | cfq blkcg is about to grow proper hierarchy handling, where a child blkg's weight would nest inside the parent's. This makes tasks in a blkg to compete against both tasks in the sibling blkgs and the tasks of child blkgs. We're gonna use the existing weight as the group weight which decides the blkg's weight against its siblings. This patch introduces a new weight - leaf_weight - which decides the weight of a blkg against the child blkgs. It's named leaf_weight because another way to look at it is that each internal blkg nodes have a hidden child leaf node which contains all its tasks and leaf_weight is the weight of the leaf node and handled the same as the weight of the child blkgs. This patch only adds leaf_weight fields and exposes it to userland. The new weight isn't actually used anywhere yet. Note that cfq-iosched currently offcially supports only single level hierarchy and root blkgs compete with the first level blkgs - ie. root weight is basically being used as leaf_weight. For root blkgs, the two weights are kept in sync for backward compatibility. v2: cfqd->root_group->leaf_weight initialization was missing from cfq_init_queue() causing divide by zero when !CONFIG_CFQ_GROUP_SCHED. Fix it. Reported by Fengguang. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Cc: Fengguang Wu <fengguang.wu@intel.com>
* blkcg: make blkcg_gq's hierarchicalTejun Heo2013-01-092-5/+55
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently a child blkg (blkcg_gq) can be created even if its parent doesn't exist. ie. Given a blkg, it's not guaranteed that its ancestors will exist. This makes it difficult to implement proper hierarchy support for blkcg policies. Always create blkgs recursively and make a child blkg hold a reference to its parent. blkg->parent is added so that finding the parent is easy. blkcg_parent() is also added in the process. This change can be visible to userland. e.g. while issuing IO in a nested cgroup didn't affect the ancestors at all, now it will initialize all ancestor blkgs and zero stats for the request_queue will always appear on them. While this is userland visible, this shouldn't cause any functional difference. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Acked-by: Vivek Goyal <vgoyal@redhat.com>

Note that blkcg_activate_policy() no longer updates lookup hint if root_blkg already exists. Except for the last lookup hint bit which is immaterial, this is pure reorganization and doesn't introduce any visible behavior change. This is to prepare for proper hierarchy support.

* cfq-iosched: Properly name all references to IO classVivek Goyal2013-01-091-33/+34
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently CFQ has three IO classes, RT, BE and IDLE. At many a places we are calling workloads belonging to these classes as "prio". This gets very confusing as one starts to associate it with ioprio. So this patch just does bunch of renaming so that reading code becomes easier. All reference to RT, BE and IDLE workload are done using keyword "class" and all references to subclass, SYNC, SYNC-IDLE, ASYNC are made using keyword "type". This makes me feel much better while I am reading the code. There is no functionality change due to this patch.

| * | block: Avoid scheduling delayed work on a dead queueBart Van Assche2012-12-061-24/+9
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Running a queue must continue after it has been marked dying until it has been marked dead. So the function blk_run_queue_async() must not schedule delayed work after blk_cleanup_queue() has marked a queue dead. Hence add a test for that queue state in blk_run_queue_async() and make sure that queue_unplugged() invokes that function with the queue lock held. This avoids that the queue state can change after it has been tested and before mod_delayed_work() is invoked. Drop the queue dying test in queue_unplugged() since it is now superfluous: __blk_run_queue() already tests whether or not the queue is dead.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | A block driver may start cleaning up resources needed by its request_fn as soon as blk_cleanup_queue() finished, so request_fn must not be invoked after draining finished. This is important when blk_run_queue() is invoked without any requests in progress. As an example, if blk_drain_queue() and scsi_run_queue() run in parallel, blk_drain_queue() may have finished all requests after scsi_run_queue() has taken a SCSI device off the starved list but before that last function has had a chance to run the queue.

After this flag has been set queue draining starts. However, during the queue draining phase it is still safe to invoke the queue's request_fn, so QUEUE_FLAG_DYING is a better name for this flag.

When the requests are flushed to queue, a and a+1 are merged to (a, a+1), a+2 and a+3 too to (a+2, a+3), but (a, a+1) and (a+2, a+3) aren't merged. If we do recursive merge for such interleave access, some workloads throughput get improvement. A recent worload I'm checking on is swap, below change boostes the throughput around 5% ~ 10%.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | request is queued in cfqq->fifo list. Looks it's possible we are moving a request from one cfqq to another in request merge case. In such case, adjusting the fifo list order doesn't make sense and is impossible if we don't iterate the whole fifo list. My test does hit one case the two cfqq are different, but didn't cause kernel crash, maybe it's because fifo list isn't used frequently. Anyway, from the code logic, this is buggy. I thought we can re-enable the recusive merge logic after this is fixed. Signed-off-by: Shaohua Li <shli@fusionio.com> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@kernel.dk>

The big changes are focused on making cgroup hierarchy handling saner. - cgroup_rmdir() had peculiar semantics - it allowed cgroup destruction to be vetoed by individual controllers and tried to drain refcnt synchronously. The vetoing never worked properly and caused good deal of contortions in cgroup. memcg was the last reamining user. Michal Hocko removed the usage and cgroup_rmdir() path has been simplified significantly. This was done in a separate branch so that the memcg people can base further memcg changes on top. - The above allowed cleaning up cgroup lifecycle management and implementation of generic cgroup iterators which are used to improve hierarchy support. - cgroup_freezer updated to allow migration in and out of a frozen cgroup and handle hierarchy. If a cgroup is frozen, all descendant cgroups are frozen. - netcls_cgroup and netprio_cgroup updated to handle hierarchy properly. - Various fixes and cleanups. - Two merge commits. One to pull in memcg and rmdir cleanups (needed to build iterators). The other pulled in cgroup/for-3.7-fixes for device_cgroup fixes so that further device_cgroup patches can be stacked on top."

Therefore checking if the type is REQ_TYPE_PM_RESUME isn't safe afterwards, because if it isn't, rq might be gone. Instead, check beforehand and stash the result in a temporary. This fixes crashes in blk_execute_rq_nowait() I get occasionally when running with lots of memory debugging options enabled -- I think this race is usually harmless because the window for rq to be reallocated is so small.

For example, with !CONFIG_BLK_DEV_THROTTLING && CONFIG_CFQ_GROUP_IOSCHED, switching IO scheduler from cfq to deadline will cause system stall after the following warning with 3.6: > WARNING: at /work/build/linux/block/blk-cgroup.h:250 > blk_put_rl+0x4d/0x95() > Modules linked in: bridge stp llc sunrpc acpi_cpufreq freq_table mperf > ipt_REJECT nf_conntrack_ipv4 nf_defrag_ipv4 > Pid: 0, comm: swapper/0 Not tainted 3.6.0 #1 > Call Trace: > <IRQ> [<ffffffff810453bd>] warn_slowpath_common+0x85/0x9d > [<ffffffff810453ef>] warn_slowpath_null+0x1a/0x1c > [<ffffffff811d5f8d>] blk_put_rl+0x4d/0x95 > [<ffffffff811d614a>] __blk_put_request+0xc3/0xcb > [<ffffffff811d71a3>] blk_finish_request+0x232/0x23f > [<ffffffff811d76c3>] ? blk_end_bidi_request+0x34/0x5d > [<ffffffff811d76d1>] blk_end_bidi_request+0x42/0x5d > [<ffffffff811d7728>] blk_end_request+0x10/0x12 > [<ffffffff812cdf16>] scsi_io_completion+0x207/0x4d5 > [<ffffffff812c6fcf>] scsi_finish_command+0xfa/0x103 > [<ffffffff812ce2f8>] scsi_softirq_done+0xff/0x108 > [<ffffffff811dcea5>] blk_done_softirq+0x8d/0xa1 > [<ffffffff810915d5>] ? > generic_smp_call_function_single_interrupt+0x9f/0xd7 > [<ffffffff8104cf5b>] __do_softirq+0x102/0x213 > [<ffffffff8108a5ec>] ? lock_release_holdtime+0xb6/0xbb > [<ffffffff8104d2b4>] ? raise_softirq_irqoff+0x9/0x3d > [<ffffffff81424dfc>] call_softirq+0x1c/0x30 > [<ffffffff81011beb>] do_softirq+0x4b/0xa3 > [<ffffffff8104cdb0>] irq_exit+0x53/0xd5 > [<ffffffff8102d865>] smp_call_function_single_interrupt+0x34/0x36 > [<ffffffff8142486f>] call_function_single_interrupt+0x6f/0x80 > <EOI> [<ffffffff8101800b>] ? mwait_idle+0x94/0xcd > [<ffffffff81018002>] ? mwait_idle+0x8b/0xcd > [<ffffffff81017811>] cpu_idle+0xbb/0x114 > [<ffffffff81401fbd>] rest_init+0xc1/0xc8 > [<ffffffff81401efc>] ? csum_partial_copy_generic+0x16c/0x16c > [<ffffffff81cdbd3d>] start_kernel+0x3d4/0x3e1 > [<ffffffff81cdb79e>] ? kernel_init+0x1f7/0x1f7 > [<ffffffff81cdb2dd>] x86_64_start_reservations+0xb8/0xbd > [<ffffffff81cdb3e3>] x86_64_start_kernel+0x101/0x110 This patch clears q->root_blkg and q->root_rl.blkg when root blkg is destroyed.

Not a huge round this time, it contains: - First series from Kent cleaning up and generalizing bio allocation and freeing. - WRITE_SAME support from Martin. - Mikulas patches to prevent O_DIRECT crashes when someone changes the block size of a device. - Make bio_split() work on data-less bio's (like trim/discards). - A few other minor fixups." Fixed up silent semantic mis-merge as per Mikulas Patocka and Andrew Morton. It is due to the VM no longer using a prio-tree (see commit 6b2dbba8b6ac: "mm: replace vma prio_tree with an interval tree"). So make set_blocksize() use mapping_mapped() instead of open-coding the internal VM knowledge that has changed. * 'for-3.7/core' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux-block: (26 commits) block: makes bio_split support bio without data scatterlist: refactor the sg_nents scatterlist: add sg_nents fs: fix include/percpu-rwsem.h export error percpu-rw-semaphore: fix documentation typos fs/block_dev.c:1644:5: sparse: symbol 'blkdev_mmap' was not declared blockdev: turn a rw semaphore into a percpu rw semaphore Fix a crash when block device is read and block size is changed at the same time block: fix request_queue->flags initialization block: lift the initial queue bypass mode on blk_register_queue() instead of blk_init_allocated_queue() block: ioctl to zero block ranges block: Make blkdev_issue_zeroout use WRITE SAME block: Implement support for WRITE SAME block: Consolidate command flag and queue limit checks for merges block: Clean up special command handling logic block/blk-tag.c: Remove useless kfree block: remove the duplicated setting for congestion_threshold block: reject invalid queue attribute values block: Add bio_clone_bioset(), bio_clone_kmalloc() block: Consolidate bio_alloc_bioset(), bio_kmalloc() ...

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | A queue newly allocated with blk_alloc_queue_node() has only QUEUE_FLAG_BYPASS set. For request-based drivers, blk_init_allocated_queue() is called and q->queue_flags is overwritten with QUEUE_FLAG_DEFAULT which doesn't include BYPASS even though the initial bypass is still in effect. In blk_init_allocated_queue(), or QUEUE_FLAG_DEFAULT to q->queue_flags instead of overwriting.

| * | block: lift the initial queue bypass mode on blk_register_queue() instead of ↵Tejun Heo2012-09-212-5/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | blk_init_allocated_queue() b82d4b197c ("blkcg: make request_queue bypassing on allocation") made request_queues bypassed on allocation to avoid switching on and off bypass mode on a queue being initialized. Some drivers allocate and then destroy a lot of queues without fully initializing them and incurring bypass latency overhead on each of them could add upto significant overhead. Unfortunately, blk_init_allocated_queue() is never used by queues of bio-based drivers, which means that all bio-based driver queues are in bypass mode even after initialization and registration complete successfully. Due to the limited way request_queues are used by bio drivers, this problem is hidden pretty well but it shows up when blk-throttle is used in combination with a bio-based driver. Trying to configure (echoing to cgroupfs file) blk-throttle for a bio-based driver hangs indefinitely in blkg_conf_prep() waiting for bypass mode to end. This patch moves the initial blk_queue_bypass_end() call from blk_init_allocated_queue() to blk_register_queue() which is called for any userland-visible queues regardless of its type. I believe this is correct because I don't think there is any block driver which needs or wants working elevator and blk-cgroup on a queue which isn't visible to userland. If there are such users, we need a different solution.
