2018-09-28block: genhd: add 'groups' argument to device_add_diskHannes Reinecke28-33/+43
Update device_add_disk() to take an 'groups' argument so that individual drivers can register a device with additional sysfs attributes. This avoids race condition the driver would otherwise have if these groups were to be created with sysfs_add_groups().

2018-09-27kyber: add tracepointsOmar Sandoval2-18/+130
When debugging Kyber, it's really useful to know what latencies we've been having, how the domain depths have been adjusted, and if we've actually been throttling. Add three tracepoints, kyber_latency, kyber_adjust, and kyber_throttled, to record that. Signed-off-by: Omar Sandoval <osandov@fb.com> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@kernel.dk>
2018-09-27kyber: implement improved heuristicsOmar Sandoval1-218/+279
Kyber's current heuristics have a few flaws: - It's based on the mean latency, but p99 latency tends to be more meaningful to anyone who cares about latency. The mean can also be skewed by rare outliers that the scheduler can't do anything about. - The statistics calculations are purely time-based with a short window. This works for steady, high load, but is more sensitive to outliers with bursty workloads. - It only considers the latency once an I/O has been submitted to the device, but the user cares about the time spent in the kernel, as well. These are shortcomings of the generic blk-stat code which doesn't quite fit the ideal use case for Kyber. So, this replaces the statistics with a histogram used to calculate percentiles of total latency and I/O latency, which we then use to adjust depths in a slightly more intelligent manner: - Sync and async writes are now the same domain. - Discards are a separate domain. - Domain queue depths are scaled by the ratio of the p99 total latency to the target latency (e.g., if the p99 latency is double the target latency, we will double the queue depth; if the p99 latency is half of the target latency, we can halve the queue depth). - We use the I/O latency to determine whether we should scale queue depths down: we will only scale down if any domain's I/O latency exceeds the target latency, which is an indicator of congestion in the device. These new heuristics are just as scalable as the heuristics they replace. Signed-off-by: Omar Sandoval <osandov@fb.com> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@kernel.dk>
2018-09-27kyber: don't make domain token sbitmap larger than necessaryOmar Sandoval1-13/+2
The domain token sbitmaps are currently initialized to the device queue depth or 256, whichever is larger, and immediately resized to the maximum depth for that domain (256, 128, or 64 for read, write, and other, respectively). The sbitmap is never resized larger than that, so it's unnecessary to allocate a bitmap larger than the maximum depth. Let's just allocate it to the maximum depth to begin with. This will use marginally less memory, and more importantly, give us a more appropriate number of bits per sbitmap word.

Instead of allowing requests that are not power management requests to enter the queue in runtime suspended status (RPM_SUSPENDED), make the blk_get_request() caller block. This change fixes a starvation issue: it is now guaranteed that power management requests will be executed no matter how many blk_get_request() callers are waiting.

2018-09-26block, scsi: Change the preempt-only flag into a counterBart Van Assche4-27/+43
The RQF_PREEMPT flag is used for three purposes: - In the SCSI core, for making sure that power management requests are executed even if a device is in the "quiesced" state. - For domain validation by SCSI drivers that use the parallel port. - In the IDE driver, for IDE preempt requests. Rename "preempt-only" into "pm-only" because the primary purpose of this mode is power management. Since the power management core may but does not have to resume a runtime suspended device before performing system-wide suspend and since a later patch will set "pm-only" mode as long as a block device is runtime suspended, make it possible to set "pm-only" mode from more than one context. Since with this change scsi_device_quiesce() is no longer idempotent, make that function return early if it is called for a quiesced queue.

2018-09-21blkcg: fix ref count issue with bio_blkcg using task_cssDennis Zhou (Facebook)6-16/+107
The accessor function bio_blkcg either returns the blkcg associated with the bio or finds one in the current context. This can cause an issue when trying to associate a bio with a blkcg. Particularly, it's the third case that is problematic: return css_to_blkcg(task_css(current, io_cgrp_id)); As the above may race against task migration and the cgroup exiting, it is not always ok to take a reference on the blkcg returned from bio_blkcg. This patch adds association ahead of calling bio_blkcg rather than after. This makes association a required and explicit step along the code paths for calling bio_blkcg. blk_get_rl is modified as well to get a reference to the blkcg it may use and blk_put_rl will always put the reference back. Association is also moved above the bio_blkcg call to ensure it will not return NULL in blk-iolatency. BFQ and CFQ utilize this flaw, but due to the complexity, I do not want to address this in this series. I've created a private version of the function with notes not to use it describing the flaw.

2018-09-14blok, bfq: do not plug I/O if all queues are weight-raisedPaolo Valente1-2/+8
To reduce latency for interactive and soft real-time applications, bfq privileges the bfq_queues containing the I/O of these applications. These privileged queues, referred-to as weight-raised queues, get a much higher share of the device throughput w.r.t. non-privileged queues. To preserve this higher share, the I/O of any non-weight-raised queue must be plugged whenever a sync weight-raised queue, while being served, remains temporarily empty. To attain this goal, bfq simply plugs any I/O (from any queue), if a sync weight-raised queue remains empty while in service. Unfortunately, this plugging typically lowers throughput with random I/O, on devices with internal queueing (because it reduces the filling level of the internal queues of the device). This commit addresses this issue by restricting the cases where plugging is performed: if a sync weight-raised queue remains empty while in service, then I/O plugging is performed only if some of the active bfq_queues are *not* weight-raised (which is actually the only circumstance where plugging is needed to preserve the higher share of the throughput of weight-raised queues). This restriction proved able to boost throughput in really many use cases needing only maximum throughput.

2018-09-14block, bfq: inject other-queue I/O into seeky idle queues on NCQ flashPaolo Valente2-6/+88
The Achilles' heel of BFQ is its failing to reach a high throughput with sync random I/O on flash storage with internal queueing, in case the processes doing I/O have differentiated weights. The cause of this failure is as follows. If at least two processes do sync I/O, and have a different weight from each other, then BFQ plugs I/O dispatching every time one of these processes, while it is being served, remains temporarily without pending I/O requests. This plugging is necessary to guarantee that every process enjoys a bandwidth proportional to its weight; but it empties the internal queue(s) of the drive. And this kills throughput with random I/O. So, if some processes have differentiated weights and do both sync and random I/O, the end result is a throughput collapse. This commit tries to counter this problem by injecting the service of other processes, in a controlled way, while the process in service happens to have no I/O. This injection is performed only if the medium is non rotational and performs internal queueing, and the process in service does random I/O (service injection might be beneficial for sequential I/O too, we'll work on that). As an example of the benefits of this commit, on a PLEXTOR PX-256M5S SSD, and with five processes having differentiated weights and doing sync random 4KB I/O, this commit makes the throughput with bfq grow by 400%, from 25 to 100MB/s. This higher throughput is 10MB/s lower than that reached with none. As some less random I/O is added to the mix, the throughput becomes equal to or higher than that with none. This commit is a very first attempt to recover throughput without losing control, and certainly has many limitations. One is, e.g., that the processes whose service is injected are not chosen so as to distribute the extra bandwidth they receive in accordance to their weights. Thus there might be loss of weighted fairness in some cases. Anyway, this loss concerns extra service, which would not have been received at all without this commit. Other limitations and issues will probably show up with usage. Signed-off-by: Paolo Valente <paolo.valente@linaro.org> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@kernel.dk>
2018-09-14block, bfq: correctly charge and reset entity service in all casesPaolo Valente1-3/+10
BFQ schedules entities (which represent either per-process queues or groups of queues) as a function of their timestamps. In particular, as a function of their (virtual) finish times. The finish time of an entity is computed as a function of the budget assigned to the entity, assuming, tentatively, that the entity, once in service, will receive an amount of service equal to its budget. Then, when the entity is expired because it finishes to be served, this finish time is updated as a function of the actual service received by the entity. This allows the entity to be correctly charged with only the service received, and then to be correctly re-scheduled. Yet an entity may receive service also while not being the entity in service (in the scheduling environment of its parent entity), for several reasons. If the entity remains with no backlog while receiving this 'unofficial' service, then it is expired. Also on such an expiration, the finish time of the entity should be updated to account for only the service actually received by the entity. Unfortunately, such an update is not performed for an entity expiring without being the entity in service. In a similar vein, the service counter of the entity in service is reset when the entity is expired, to be ready to be used for next service cycle. This reset too should be performed also in case an entity is expired because it remains empty after receiving service while not being the entity in service. But in this case the reset is not performed. This commit performs the above update of the finish time and reset of the service received, also for an entity expiring while not being the entity in service.

2018-09-06block: remove bio_rewind_iter()Ming Lei4-30/+8
It is pointed that bio_rewind_iter() is one very bad API[1]: 1) bio size may not be restored after rewinding 2) it causes some bogus change, such as 5151842b9d8732 (block: reset bi_iter.bi_done after splitting bio) 3) rewinding really makes things complicated wrt. bio splitting 4) unnecessary updating of .bi_done in fast path [1] https://marc.info/?t=153549924200005&r=1&w=2 So this patch takes Kent's suggestion to restore one bio into its original state via saving bio iterator(struct bvec_iter) in bio_integrity_prep(), given now bio_rewind_iter() is only used by bio integrity code.
