2016-11-28blk-wbt: cleanup disable-by-default for CFQJens Axboe1-6/+3
Make it clear that we are disabling wbt for the specified queued, if it was enabled by default. This is in preparation for allowing users to re-enable wbt, and not have it disabled automatically again. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@fb.com>
2016-11-22block,blkcg: use __GFP_NOWARN for best-effort allocations in blkcgTejun Heo1-1/+2
blkcg allocates some per-cgroup data structures with GFP_NOWAIT and when that fails falls back to operations which aren't specific to the cgroup. Occassional failures are expected under pressure and falling back to non-cgroup operation is the right thing to do. Unfortunately, I forgot to add __GFP_NOWARN to these allocations and these expected failures end up creating a lot of noise. Add __GFP_NOWARN.

2016-11-10block: hook up writeback throttlingJens Axboe1-0/+14
Enable throttling of buffered writeback to make it a lot more smooth, and has way less impact on other system activity. Background writeback should be, by definition, background activity. The fact that we flush huge bundles of it at the time means that it potentially has heavy impacts on foreground workloads, which isn't ideal. We can't easily limit the sizes of writes that we do, since that would impact file system layout in the presence of delayed allocation. So just throttle back buffered writeback, unless someone is waiting for it. The algorithm for when to throttle takes its inspiration in the CoDel networking scheduling algorithm. Like CoDel, blk-wb monitors the minimum latencies of requests over a window of time. In that window of time, if the minimum latency of any request exceeds a given target, then a scale count is incremented and the queue depth is shrunk. The next monitoring window is shrunk accordingly. Unlike CoDel, if we hit a window that exhibits good behavior, then we simply increment the scale count and re-calculate the limits for that scale value. This prevents us from oscillating between a close-to-ideal value and max all the time, instead remaining in the windows where we get good behavior. Unlike CoDel, blk-wb allows the scale count to to negative. This happens if we primarily have writes going on. Unlike positive scale counts, this doesn't change the size of the monitoring window. When the heavy writers finish, blk-bw quickly snaps back to it's stable state of a zero scale count. The patch registers a sysfs entry, 'wb_lat_usec'. This sets the latency target to me met. It defaults to 2 msec for non-rotational storage, and 75 msec for rotational storage. Setting this value to '0' disables blk-wb. Generally, a user would not have to touch this setting. We don't enable WBT on devices that are managed with CFQ, and have a non-root block cgroup attached. If we have a proportional share setup on this particular disk, then the wbt throttling will interfere with that. We don't have a strong need for wbt for that case, since we will rely on CFQ doing that for us. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@fb.com>
2016-11-10block: cfq_cpd_alloc() should use @gfpTejun Heo1-1/+1
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.

2016-11-01block: replace REQ_NOIDLE with REQ_IDLEChristoph Hellwig1-3/+8
Noidle should be the default for writes as seen by all the compounds definitions in fs.h using it. In fact only direct I/O really should be using NODILE, so turn the whole flag around to get the defaults right, which will make our life much easier especially onces the WRITE_* defines go away. This assumes all the existing "raw" users of REQ_SYNC for writes want noidle behavior, which seems to be spot on from a quick audit.

2016-10-28block: better op and flags encodingChristoph Hellwig1-34/+32
Now that we don't need the common flags to overflow outside the range of a 32-bit type we can encode them the same way for both the bio and request fields. This in addition allows us to place the operation first (and make some room for more ops while we're at it) and to stop having to shift around the operation values. In addition this allows passing around only one value in the block layer instead of two (and eventuall also in the file systems, but we can do that later) and thus clean up a lot of code. Last but not least this allows decreasing the size of the cmd_flags field in struct request to 32-bits. Various functions passing this value could also be updated, but I'd like to avoid the churn for now. Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@fb.com>
2016-09-23cfq: fix starvation of asynchronous writesGlauber Costa1-3/+10
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): ffffffffb90c57b1 finish_task_switch ffffffffb97dffb5 schedule ffffffffb97e310c schedule_timeout ffffffffb97e1f12 __down ffffffffb90ea821 down ffffffffc046a9dc xfs_buf_lock ffffffffc046abfb _xfs_buf_find ffffffffc046ae4a xfs_buf_get_map ffffffffc046babd xfs_buf_read_map ffffffffc0499931 xfs_trans_read_buf_map ffffffffc044a561 xfs_da_read_buf ffffffffc0451390 xfs_dir3_leaf_read.constprop.16 ffffffffc0452b90 xfs_dir2_leaf_lookup_int ffffffffc0452e0f xfs_dir2_leaf_lookup ffffffffc044d9d3 xfs_dir_lookup ffffffffc047d1d9 xfs_lookup ffffffffc0479e53 xfs_vn_lookup ffffffffb925347a path_openat ffffffffb9254a71 do_filp_open ffffffffb9242a94 do_sys_open ffffffffb9242b9e sys_open ffffffffb97e42b2 entry_SYSCALL_64_fastpath 00007fb0698162ed [unknown] 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 8,0 11 153 81.092472889 804 Q WM 141698288 + 8 [xfsaild/sda1] 8,0 11 154 81.092473207 804 G WM 141698288 + 8 [xfsaild/sda1] 8,0 11 206 81.092496118 804 I WM 141698288 + 8 ( 22911) [xfsaild/sda1] <==== '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: Latency histogram of xfs_buf_lock acquisition (microseconds): value |-------------------------------------------------- count 0 | 11 1 |@@@@ 161 2 |@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ 1966 4 |@ 54 8 | 36 16 | 7 32 | 0 64 | 0 ~ 1024 | 0 2048 | 0 4096 | 1 8192 | 1 16384 | 2 32768 | 0 65536 | 0 131072 | 1 262144 | 0 524288 | 0 Signed-off-by: Glauber Costa <glauber@scylladb.com> CC: Jens Axboe <axboe@kernel.dk> CC: linux-block@vger.kernel.org CC: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org Signed-off-by: Glauber Costa <glauber@scylladb.com> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@fb.com>
2016-08-07block: rename bio bi_rw to bi_opfJens Axboe1-2/+2
Since commit 63a4cc24867d, bio->bi_rw contains flags in the lower portion and the op code in the higher portions. This means that old code that relies on manually setting bi_rw is most likely going to be broken. Instead of letting that brokeness linger, rename the member, to force old and out-of-tree code to break at compile time instead of at runtime. No intended functional changes in this commit.

2016-07-20block: do not merge requests without consulting with io schedulerTahsin Erdogan1-4/+11
Before merging a bio into an existing request, io scheduler is called to get its approval first. However, the requests that come from a plug flush may get merged by block layer without consulting with io scheduler. In case of CFQ, this can cause fairness problems. For instance, if a request gets merged into a low weight cgroup's request, high weight cgroup now will depend on low weight cgroup to get scheduled. If high weigt cgroup needs that io request to complete before submitting more requests, then it will also lose its timeslice. Following script demonstrates the problem. Group g1 has a low weight, g2 and g3 have equal high weights but g2's requests are adjacent to g1's requests so they are subject to merging. Due to these merges, g2 gets poor disk time allocation. cat > cfq-merge-repro.sh << "EOF" #!/bin/bash set -e IO_ROOT=/mnt-cgroup/io mkdir -p $IO_ROOT if ! mount | grep -qw $IO_ROOT; then mount -t cgroup none -oblkio $IO_ROOT fi cd $IO_ROOT for i in g1 g2 g3; do if [ -d $i ]; then rmdir $i fi done mkdir g1 && echo 10 > g1/blkio.weight mkdir g2 && echo 495 > g2/blkio.weight mkdir g3 && echo 495 > g3/blkio.weight RUNTIME=10 (echo $BASHPID > g1/cgroup.procs && fio --readonly --name name1 --filename /dev/sdb \ --rw read --size 64k --bs 64k --time_based \ --runtime=$RUNTIME --offset=0k &> /dev/null)& (echo $BASHPID > g2/cgroup.procs && fio --readonly --name name1 --filename /dev/sdb \ --rw read --size 64k --bs 64k --time_based \ --runtime=$RUNTIME --offset=64k &> /dev/null)& (echo $BASHPID > g3/cgroup.procs && fio --readonly --name name1 --filename /dev/sdb \ --rw read --size 64k --bs 64k --time_based \ --runtime=$RUNTIME --offset=256k &> /dev/null)& sleep $((RUNTIME+1)) for i in g1 g2 g3; do echo ---- $i ---- cat $i/blkio.time done EOF # ./cfq-merge-repro.sh ---- g1 ---- 8:16 162 ---- g2 ---- 8:16 165 ---- g3 ---- 8:16 686 After applying the patch: # ./cfq-merge-repro.sh ---- g1 ---- 8:16 90 ---- g2 ---- 8:16 445 ---- g3 ---- 8:16 471 Signed-off-by: Tahsin Erdogan <tahsin@google.com> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@fb.com>
2016-06-28cfq-iosched: Charge at least 1 jiffie instead of 1 nsJan Kara1-1/+2
Commit 9a7f38c42c2b (cfq-iosched: Convert from jiffies to nanoseconds) could result in charging just 1 ns to a cgroup submitting IO instead of 1 jiffie we always charged before. It is arguable what is the right amount to change but for now lets retain the old behavior of always charging at least one jiffie.

2016-06-28cfq-iosched: Fix regression in bonnie++ rewrite performanceJan Kara1-1/+10
Commit 9a7f38c42c2 (cfq-iosched: Convert from jiffies to nanoseconds) broke the condition for detecting starved sync IO in cfq_completed_request() because rq->start_time remained in jiffies but we compared it with nanosecond values. This manifested as a regression in bonnie++ rewrite performance because we always ended up considering sync IO starved and thus never increased async IO queue depth. Since rq->start_time is used in a lot of places, converting it to ns values would be non-trivial. So just revert the condition in CFQ to use comparison with jiffies. This will lead to suboptimal results if cfq_fifo_expire[1] will ever come close to 1 jiffie but so far we are relatively far from that with the storage used with CFQ (the default value is 128 ms).

2016-06-09cfq-iosched: temporarily boost queue priority for idle classesJens Axboe1-1/+21
If we're queuing REQ_PRIO IO and the task is running at an idle IO class, then temporarily boost the priority. This prevents livelocks due to priority inversion, when a low priority task is holding file system resources while attempting to do IO. An example of that is shown below. An ioniced idle task is holding the directory mutex, while a normal priority task is trying to do a directory lookup.

2016-04-04mm, fs: get rid of PAGE_CACHE_* and page_cache_{get,release} macrosKirill A. Shutemov1-1/+1
PAGE_CACHE_{SIZE,SHIFT,MASK,ALIGN} macros were introduced *long* time ago with promise that one day it will be possible to implement page cache with bigger chunks than PAGE_SIZE. This promise never materialized. And unlikely will. We have many places where PAGE_CACHE_SIZE assumed to be equal to PAGE_SIZE. And it's constant source of confusion on whether PAGE_CACHE_* or PAGE_* constant should be used in a particular case, especially on the border between fs and mm. Global switching to PAGE_CACHE_SIZE != PAGE_SIZE would cause to much breakage to be doable. Let's stop pretending that pages in page cache are special. They are not. The changes are pretty straight-forward: - <foo> << (PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT - PAGE_SHIFT) -> <foo>; - <foo> >> (PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT - PAGE_SHIFT) -> <foo>; - PAGE_CACHE_{SIZE,SHIFT,MASK,ALIGN} -> PAGE_{SIZE,SHIFT,MASK,ALIGN}; - page_cache_get() -> get_page(); - page_cache_release() -> put_page(); This patch contains automated changes generated with coccinelle using script below. For some reason, coccinelle doesn't patch header files. I've called spatch for them manually. The only adjustment after coccinelle is revert of changes to PAGE_CAHCE_ALIGN definition: we are going to drop it later. There are few places in the code where coccinelle didn't reach. I'll fix them manually in a separate patch. Comments and documentation also will be addressed with the separate patch. virtual patch @@ expression E; @@ - E << (PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT - PAGE_SHIFT) + E @@ expression E; @@ - E >> (PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT - PAGE_SHIFT) + E @@ @@ - PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT + PAGE_SHIFT @@ @@ - PAGE_CACHE_SIZE + PAGE_SIZE @@ @@ - PAGE_CACHE_MASK + PAGE_MASK @@ expression E; @@ - PAGE_CACHE_ALIGN(E) + PAGE_ALIGN(E) @@ expression E; @@ - page_cache_get(E) + get_page(E) @@ expression E; @@ - page_cache_release(E) + put_page(E) Signed-off-by: Kirill A.

2016-02-04cfq-iosched: Allow parent cgroup to preempt its childJan Kara1-1/+18
Currently we don't allow sync workload of one cgroup to preempt sync workload of any other cgroup. This is because we want to achieve service separation between cgroups. However in cases where cgroup preempting is ancestor of the current cgroup, there is no need of separation and idling introduces unnecessary overhead. This hurts for example the case when workload is isolated within a cgroup but journalling threads are in root cgroup. Simple way to demostrate the issue is using: dbench4 -c /usr/share/dbench4/client.txt -t 10 -D /mnt 1 on ext4 filesystem on plain SATA drive (mounted with barrier=0 to make difference more visible). When all processes are in the root cgroup, reported throughput is 153.132 MB/sec. When dbench process gets its own blkio cgroup, reported throughput drops to 26.1006 MB/sec. Fix the problem by making check in cfq_should_preempt() more benevolent and allow preemption by ancestor cgroup. This improves the throughput reported by dbench4 to 48.9106 MB/sec.

2016-02-04cfq-iosched: Allow sync noidle workloads to preempt each otherJan Kara1-1/+0
The original idea with preemption of sync noidle queues (introduced in commit 718eee0579b8 "cfq-iosched: fairness for sync no-idle queues") was that we service all sync noidle queues together, we don't idle on any of the queues individually and we idle only if there is no sync noidle queue to be served. This intention also matches the original test: if (cfqd->serving_type == SYNC_NOIDLE_WORKLOAD && new_cfqq->service_tree == cfqq->service_tree) return true; However since at that time cfqq->service_tree was not set for idling queues, this test was unreliable and was replaced in commit e4a229196a7c "cfq-iosched: fix no-idle preemption logic" by: if (cfqd->serving_type == SYNC_NOIDLE_WORKLOAD && cfqq_type(new_cfqq) == SYNC_NOIDLE_WORKLOAD && new_cfqq->service_tree->count == 1) return true; That was a reliable test but was actually doing something different - now we preempt sync noidle queue only if the new queue is the only one busy in the service tree. These days cfq queue is kept in service tree even if it is idling and thus the original check would be safe again. But since we actually check that cfq queues are in the same cgroup, of the same priority class and workload type (sync noidle), we know that new_cfqq is fine to preempt cfqq. So just remove the service tree check. Acked-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Jan Kara <jack@suse.com> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@fb.com>

2015-09-18cgroup: replace cgroup_on_dfl() tests in controllers with cgroup_subsys_on_dfl()Tejun Heo1-2/+2
cgroup_on_dfl() tests whether the cgroup's root is the default hierarchy; however, an individual controller is only interested in whether the controller is attached to the default hierarchy and never tests a cgroup which doesn't belong to the hierarchy that the controller is attached to. This patch replaces cgroup_on_dfl() tests in controllers with faster static_key based cgroup_subsys_on_dfl(). This leaves cgroup core as the only user of cgroup_on_dfl() and the function is moved from the header file to cgroup.c.

2015-08-18blkcg: use CGROUP_WEIGHT_* scale for io.weight on the unified hierarchyTejun Heo1-15/+40
cgroup is trying to make interface consistent across different controllers. For weight based resource control, the knob should have the range [1, 10000] and default to 100. This patch updates cfq-iosched so that the weight range conforms. The internal calculations have enough range and the widening of the weight range shouldn't cause any problem. * blkcg_policy->cpd_bind_fn() is added. If present, this is invoked when blkcg is attached to a hierarchy. * cfq_cpd_init() is updated to use the new default value on the unified hierarchy. * cfq_cpd_bind() callback is implemented to clear per-blkg configs and apply the default config matching the hierarchy type. * cfqd->root_group->[leaf_]weight initialization in cfq_init_queue() is moved into !CONFIG_CFQ_GROUP_IOSCHED block. cfq_cpd_bind() is now responsible for initializing the initial weights when blkcg is enabled.

2015-08-18blkcg: implement interface for the unified hierarchyTejun Heo1-5/+56
blkcg interface grew to be the biggest of all controllers and unfortunately most inconsistent too. The interface files are inconsistent with a number of cloes duplicates. Some files have recursive variants while others don't. There's distinction between normal and leaf weights which isn't intuitive and there are a lot of stat knobs which don't make much sense outside of debugging and expose too much implementation details to userland. In the unified hierarchy, everything is always hierarchical and internal nodes can't have tasks rendering the two structural issues twisting the current interface. The interface has to be updated in a significant anyway and this is a good chance to revamp it as a whole. This patch implements blkcg interface for the unified hierarchy. * (from a previous patch) blkcg is identified by "io" instead of "blkio" on the unified hierarchy. Given that the whole interface is updated anyway, the rename shouldn't carry noticeable conversion overhead. * The original interface consisted of 27 files is replaced with the following three files. blkio.stat : per-blkcg stats blkio.weight : per-cgroup and per-cgroup-queue weight settings blkio.max : per-cgroup-queue bps and iops max limits Documentation/cgroups/unified-hierarchy.txt updated accordingly. v2: blkcg_policy->dfl_cftypes wasn't removed on blkcg_policy_unregister() corrupting the cftypes list.

2015-08-18blkcg: move body parsing from blkg_conf_prep() to its callersTejun Heo1-6/+11
Currently, blkg_conf_prep() expects input to be of the following form MAJ:MIN NUM and reads the NUM part into blkg_conf_ctx->v. This is quite restrictive and gets in the way in implementing blkcg interface for the unified hierarchy. This patch updates blkg_conf_prep() so that it expects MAJ:MIN BODY_STR where BODY_STR is an arbitrary string. blkg_conf_ctx->v is replaced with ->body which is a char pointer pointing to the start of BODY_STR. Parsing of the body is moved to blkg_conf_prep()'s callers. To allow using, for example, strsep() on blkg_conf_ctx->val, it is a non-const pointer and to accommodate that const is dropped from @input too. This doesn't cause any behavior changes.

The only thing necessary is adding up READs and WRITEs and then dividing by sector size. Remove cfqg_stats->sectors and make cfq print "sectors" and "sectors_recursive" from stat_bytes. While this is a bit more code, it removes duplicate stat allocations and updates and ensures that the reported stats stay in tune with each other.

2015-08-18blkcg: move io_service_bytes and io_serviced stats into blkcg_gqTejun Heo1-23/+9
Currently, both cfq-iosched and blk-throttle keep track of io_service_bytes and io_serviced stats. While keeping track of them separately may be useful during development, it doesn't make much sense otherwise. Also, blk-throttle was counting bio's as IOs while cfq-iosched request's, which is more confusing than informative. This patch adds ->stat_bytes and ->stat_ios to blkg (blkcg_gq), removes the counterparts from cfq-iosched and blk-throttle and let them print from the common blkg counters. The common counters are incremented during bio issue in blkcg_bio_issue_check(). The outputs are still filtered by whether the policy has blkg_policy_data on a given blkg, so cfq's output won't show up if it has never been used for a given blkg. The only times when the outputs would differ significantly are when policies are attached on the fly or elevators are switched back and forth. Those are quite exceptional operations and I don't think they warrant keeping separate counters. v3: Update blkio-controller.txt accordingly. v2: Account IOs during bio issues instead of request completions so that bio-based drivers can be handled the same way.

The existing usages are updated to maintain the current behaviors. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Cc: Vivek Goyal <vgoyal@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@fb.com>
2015-08-18blkcg: make blkcg_[rw]stat per-cpuTejun Heo1-18/+52
blkcg_[rw]stat are used as stat counters for blkcg policies. It isn't per-cpu by itself and blk-throttle makes it per-cpu by wrapping around it. This patch makes blkcg_[rw]stat per-cpu and drop the ad-hoc per-cpu wrapping in blk-throttle. * blkg_[rw]stat->cnt is replaced with cpu_cnt which is struct percpu_counter. This makes syncp unnecessary as remote accesses are handled by percpu_counter itself. * blkg_[rw]stat_init() can now fail due to percpu allocation failure and thus are updated to return int. * percpu_counters need explicit freeing. blkg_[rw]stat_exit() added. * As blkg_rwstat->cpu_cnt[] can't be read directly anymore, reading and summing results are stored in ->aux_cnt[] instead. * Custom per-cpu stat implementation in blk-throttle is removed. This makes all blkcg stat counters per-cpu without complicating policy implmentations.

2015-08-18blkcg: add blkg_[rw]stat->aux_cnt and replace cfq_group->dead_stats with itTejun Heo1-49/+18
cgroup stats are local to each cgroup and doesn't propagate to ancestors by default. When recursive stats are necessary, the sum is calculated over all the descendants. This initially was for backward compatibility to support both group-local and recursive stats but this mode of operation makes general sense as stat update is much hotter thafn reporting those stats. This however ends up losing recursive stats when a child is removed. To work around this, cfq-iosched adds its stats to its parent cfq_group->dead_stats which is summed up together when calculating recursive stats. It's planned that the core stats will be moved to blkcg_gq, so we want to move the mechanism for keeping track of the stats of dead children from cfq to blkcg core. This patch adds blkg_[rw]stat->aux_cnt which are atomic64_t's keeping track of auxiliary counts which are excluded when reading local counts but included for recursive. blkg_[rw]stat_merge() which were used by cfq to implement dead_stats are replaced by blkg_[rw]stat_add_aux(), and cfq now forwards stats of a dead cgroup to the aux counts of parent->stats instead of separate ->dead_stats. This will also help making blkg_[rw]stats per-cpu. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Cc: Vivek Goyal <vgoyal@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@fb.com>
2015-08-18blkcg: consolidate blkg creation in blkcg_bio_issue_check()Tejun Heo1-23/+10
blkg (blkcg_gq) currently is created by blkcg policies invoking blkg_lookup_create() which ends up repeating about the same code in different policies. Theoretically, this can avoid the overhead of looking and/or creating blkg's if blkcg is enabled but no policy is in use; however, the cost of blkg lookup / creation is very low especially if only the root blkcg is in use which is highly likely if no blkcg policy is in active use - it boils down to a single very predictable conditional and surrounding RCU protection. This patch consolidates blkg creation to a new function blkcg_bio_issue_check() which is called during bio issue from generic_make_request_checks(). blkcg_bio_issue_check() is now the only function which tries to create missing blkg's. The subsequent policy and request_list operations just perform blkg_lookup() and if missing falls back to the root. * blk_get_rl() no longer tries to create blkg. It uses blkg_lookup() instead of blkg_lookup_create(). * blk_throtl_bio() is now called from blkcg_bio_issue_check() with rcu read locked and blkg already looked up. Both throtl_lookup_tg() and throtl_lookup_create_tg() are dropped. * cfq is similarly updated. cfq_lookup_create_cfqg() is replaced with cfq_lookup_cfqg()which uses blkg_lookup(). This consolidates blkg handling and avoids unnecessary blkg creation retries under memory pressure. In addition, this provides a common bio entry point into blkcg where things like common accounting can be performed. v2: Build fixes for !CONFIG_CFQ_GROUP_IOSCHED and !CONFIG_BLK_DEV_THROTTLING.

2015-08-18blkcg: replace blkcg_policy->cpd_size with ->cpd_alloc/free_fn() methodsTejun Heo1-1/+18
Each active policy has a cpd (blkcg_policy_data) on each blkcg. The cpd's were allocated by blkcg core and each policy could request to allocate extra space at the end by setting blkcg_policy->cpd_size larger than the size of cpd. This is a bit unusual but blkg (blkcg_gq) policy data used to be handled this way too so it made sense to be consistent; however, blkg policy data switched to alloc/free callbacks. This patch makes similar changes to cpd handling. blkcg_policy->cpd_alloc/free_fn() are added to replace ->cpd_size. As cpd allocation is now done from policy side, it can simply allocate a larger area which embeds cpd at the beginning. As ->cpd_alloc_fn() may be able to perform all necessary initializations, this patch makes ->cpd_init_fn() optional.

2015-08-18blkcg: make blkcg_policy methods take a pointer to blkcg_policy_dataTejun Heo1-7/+7
The newly added ->pd_alloc_fn() and ->pd_free_fn() deal with pd (blkg_policy_data) while the older ones use blkg (blkcg_gq). As using blkg doesn't make sense for ->pd_alloc_fn() and after allocation pd can always be mapped to blkg and given that these are policy-specific methods, it makes sense to converge on pd. This patch makes all methods deal with pd instead of blkg. Most conversions are trivial. In blk-cgroup.c, a couple method invocation sites now test whether pd exists instead of policy state for consistency. This shouldn't cause any behavioral differences.

This patch reorganizes them according to the followings. * ->pd_alloc_fn() Responsible for allocation and static initializations - the ones which can be done independent of where the pd might be attached. * ->pd_init_fn() Initializations which require the knowledge of where the pd is attached. * ->pd_free_fn() The counter part of pd_alloc_fn(). Static de-init and freeing. This leaves ->pd_exit_fn() without any users. Removed. While at it, collapse an one liner function throtl_pd_exit(), which has only one user, into its user.

2015-08-18blkcg: replace blkcg_policy->pd_size with ->pd_alloc/free_fn() methodsTejun Heo1-1/+12
A blkg (blkcg_gq) represents the relationship between a cgroup and request_queue. Each active policy has a pd (blkg_policy_data) on each blkg. The pd's were allocated by blkcg core and each policy could request to allocate extra space at the end by setting blkcg_policy->pd_size larger than the size of pd. This is a bit unusual but was done this way mostly to simplify error handling and all the existing use cases could be handled this way; however, this is becoming too restrictive now that percpu memory can be allocated without blocking. This introduces two new mandatory blkcg_policy methods - pd_alloc_fn() and pd_free_fn() - which are used to allocate and release pd for a given policy. As pd allocation is now done from policy side, it can simply allocate a larger area which embeds pd at the beginning. This change makes ->pd_size pointless. Removed.

2015-08-18cfq-iosched: charge async IOs to the appropriate blkcg's instead of the rootTejun Heo1-43/+42
Up until now, all async IOs were queued to async queues which are shared across the whole request_queue, which means that blkcg resource control is completely void on async IOs including all writeback IOs. It was done this way because writeback didn't support writeback and there was no way of telling which writeback IO belonged to which cgroup; however, writeback recently became cgroup aware and writeback bio's are sent down properly tagged with the blkcg's to charge them against. This patch makes async cfq_queues per-cfq_cgroup instead of per-cfq_data so that each async IO is charged to the blkcg that it was tagged for instead of unconditionally attributing it to root. * cfq_data->async_cfqq and ->async_idle_cfqq are moved to cfq_group and alloc / destroy paths are updated accordingly. * cfq_link_cfqq_cfqg() no longer overrides @cfqg to root for async queues. * check_blkcg_changed() now also invalidates async queues as they no longer stay the same across cgroups. After this patch, cfq's proportional IO control through blkio.weight works correctly when cgroup writeback is in use.

2015-08-18cfq-iosched: fold cfq_find_alloc_queue() into cfq_get_queue()Tejun Heo1-34/+15
cfq_find_alloc_queue() checks whether a queue actually needs to be allocated, which is unnecessary as its sole caller, cfq_get_queue(), only calls it if so. Also, the oom queue fallback logic is scattered between cfq_get_queue() and cfq_find_alloc_queue(). There really isn't much going on in the latter and things can be made simpler by folding it into cfq_get_queue(). This patch collapses cfq_find_alloc_queue() into cfq_get_queue(). The change is fairly straight-forward with one exception - async_cfqq is now initialized to NULL and the "!is_sync" test in the last if conditional is replaced with "async_cfqq" test. This is because gcc (5.1.1) gets confused for some reason and warns that async_cfqq may be used uninitialized otherwise. Oh well, the code isn't necessarily worse this way. This patch doesn't cause any functional difference. v2: Updated to reflect GFP_ATOMIC -> GPF_NOWAIT.

2015-08-18cfq-iosched: remove @gfp_mask from cfq_find_alloc_queue()Tejun Heo1-35/+10
Even when allocations fail, cfq_find_alloc_queue() always returns a valid cfq_queue by falling back to the oom cfq_queue. As such, there isn't much point in taking @gfp_mask and trying "harder" if __GFP_WAIT is set. GFP_NOWAIT allocations don't fail often and even when they do the degraded behavior is acceptable and temporary. After all, the only reason get_request(), which ultimately determines the gfp_mask, cares about __GFP_WAIT is to guarantee request allocation, assuming IO forward progress, for callers which are willing to wait. There's no reason for cfq_find_alloc_queue() to behave differently on __GFP_WAIT when it already has a fallback mechanism. Remove @gfp_mask from cfq_find_alloc_queue() and propagate the changes to its callers. This simplifies the function quite a bit and will help making async queues per-cfq_group. v2: Updated to reflect GFP_ATOMIC -> GPF_NOWAIT.

2015-08-18blkcg, cfq-iosched: use GFP_NOWAIT instead of GFP_ATOMIC for non-critical ↵Tejun Heo1-1/+1
allocations blkcg performs several allocations to track IOs per cgroup and enforce resource control. Most of these allocations are performed lazily on demand in the IO path and thus can't involve reclaim path. Currently, these allocations use GFP_ATOMIC; however, blkcg can gracefully deal with occassional failures of these allocations by punting IOs to the root cgroup and there's no reason to reach into the emergency reserve. This patch replaces GFP_ATOMIC with GFP_NOWAIT for the following allocations. * bdi_writeback_congested and blkcg_gq allocations in blkg_create(). * radix tree node allocations for blkcg->blkg_tree. * cfq_queue allocation on ioprio changes.
