* block: get rid of struct blk_issue_statOmar Sandoval2018-05-091-2/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | struct blk_issue_stat squashes three things into one u64: - The time the driver started working on a request - The original size of the request (for the io.low controller) - Flags for writeback throttling It turns out that on x86_64, we have a 4 byte hole in struct request which we can fill with the non-timestamp fields from blk_issue_stat, simplifying things quite a bit.

| | | | | | | | | | struct blk_issue_stat is going away, and bio->bi_issue_stat doesn't even use the blk-stats interface, so we can provide a separate implementation specific for bios.

Nothing major in this pull request, but a good amount of improvements and fixes all over the map. This contains: - BFQ improvements, fixes, and cleanups from Angelo, Chiara, and Paolo. - Support for SMR zones for deadline and mq-deadline from Damien and Christoph. - Set of fixes for bcache by way of Michael Lyle, including fixes from himself, Kent, Rui, Tang, and Coly. - Series from Matias for lightnvm with fixes from Hans Holmberg, Javier, and Matias. Mostly centered around pblk, and the removing rrpc 1.2 in preparation for supporting 2.0. - A couple of NVMe pull requests from Christoph. Nothing major in here, just fixes and cleanups, and support for command tracing from Johannes. - Support for blk-throttle for tracking reads and writes separately. From Joseph Qi. A few cleanups/fixes also for blk-throttle from Weiping. - Series from Mike Snitzer that enables dm to register its queue more logically, something that's alwways been problematic on dm since it's a stacked device. - Series from Ming cleaning up some of the bio accessor use, in preparation for supporting multipage bvecs. - Various fixes from Ming closing up holes around queue mapping and quiescing. - BSD partition fix from Richard Narron, fixing a problem where we can't mount newer (10/11) FreeBSD partitions. - Series from Tejun reworking blk-mq timeout handling. The previous scheme relied on atomic bits, but it had races where we would think a request had timed out if it to reused at the wrong time. - null_blk now supports faking timeouts, to enable us to better exercise and test that functionality separately. From me. - Kill the separate atomic poll bit in the request struct. After this, we don't use the atomic bits on blk-mq anymore at all. From me. - sgl_alloc/free helpers from Bart. - Heavily contended tag case scalability improvement from me. - Various little fixes and cleanups from Arnd, Bart, Corentin, Douglas, Eryu, Goldwyn, and myself" * 'for-4.16/block' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux-block: (186 commits) block: remove smart1,2.h nvme: add tracepoint for nvme_complete_rq nvme: add tracepoint for nvme_setup_cmd nvme-pci: introduce RECONNECTING state to mark initializing procedure nvme-rdma: remove redundant boolean for inline_data nvme: don't free uuid pointer before printing it nvme-pci: Suspend queues after deleting them bsg: use pr_debug instead of hand crafted macros blk-mq-debugfs: don't allow write on attributes with seq_operations set nvme-pci: Fix queue double allocations block: Set BIO_TRACE_COMPLETION on new bio during split blk-throttle: use queue_is_rq_based block: Remove kblockd_schedule_delayed_work{,_on}() blk-mq: Avoid that blk_mq_delay_run_hw_queue() introduces unintended delays blk-mq: Rename blk_mq_request_direct_issue() into blk_mq_request_issue_directly() lib/scatterlist: Fix chaining support in sgl_alloc_order() blk-throttle: track read and write request individually block: add bdev_read_only() checks to common helpers block: fail op_is_write() requests to read-only partitions blk-throttle: export io_serviced_recursive, io_service_bytes_recursive ...

| * blk-throttle: track read and write request individuallyJoseph Qi2018-01-181-55/+79
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In mixed read/write workload on SSD, write latency is much lower than read. But now we only track and record read latency and then use it as threshold base for both read and write io latency accounting. As a result, write io latency will always be considered as good and bad_bio_cnt is much smaller than 20% of bio_cnt. That is to mean, the tg to be checked will be treated as idle most of the time and still let others dispatch more ios, even it is truly running under low limit and wants its low limit to be guaranteed, which is not we expected in fact. So track read and write request individually, which can bring more precise latency control for low limit idle detection.

* | block-throttle: avoid double chargeShaohua Li2017-12-201-7/+1
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If a bio is throttled and split after throttling, the bio could be resubmited and enters the throttling again. This will cause part of the bio to be charged multiple times. If the cgroup has an IO limit, the double charge will significantly harm the performance. The bio split becomes quite common after arbitrary bio size change. To fix this, we always set the BIO_THROTTLED flag if a bio is throttled. If the bio is cloned/split, we copy the flag to new bio too to avoid a double charge. However, cloned bio could be directed to a new disk, keeping the flag be a problem. The observation is we always set new disk for the bio in this case, so we can clear the flag in bio_set_dev(). This issue exists for a long time, arbitrary bio size change just makes it worse, so this should go into stable at least since v4.2.

These should have no behavioral changes, since they just change which pointer is passed into the callback with the same available pointers after conversion. It handles the following examples, in addition to some other variations. Casting from unsigned long: void my_callback(unsigned long data) { struct something *ptr = (struct something *)data; ... } ... setup_timer(&ptr->my_timer, my_callback, ptr); and forced object casts: void my_callback(struct something *ptr) { ... } ... setup_timer(&ptr->my_timer, my_callback, (unsigned long)ptr); become: void my_callback(struct timer_list *t) { struct something *ptr = from_timer(ptr, t, my_timer); ... } ... timer_setup(&ptr->my_timer, my_callback, 0); Direct function assignments: void my_callback(unsigned long data) { struct something *ptr = (struct something *)data; ... } ... ptr->my_timer.function = my_callback; have a temporary cast added, along with converting the args: void my_callback(struct timer_list *t) { struct something *ptr = from_timer(ptr, t, my_timer); ... } ... ptr->my_timer.function = (TIMER_FUNC_TYPE)my_callback; And finally, callbacks without a data assignment: void my_callback(unsigned long data) { ... } ... setup_timer(&ptr->my_timer, my_callback, 0); have their argument renamed to verify they're unused during conversion: void my_callback(struct timer_list *unused) { ... } ... timer_setup(&ptr->my_timer, my_callback, 0); The conversion is done with the following Coccinelle script: spatch --very-quiet --all-includes --include-headers \ -I ./arch/x86/include -I ./arch/x86/include/generated \ -I ./include -I ./arch/x86/include/uapi \ -I ./arch/x86/include/generated/uapi -I ./include/uapi \ -I ./include/generated/uapi --include ./include/linux/kconfig.h \ --dir . \ --cocci-file ~/src/data/timer_setup.cocci @fix_address_of@ expression e;

| * blk-throttle: fix null pointer dereference while throttling writeback IOsJiufei Xue2017-10-101-2/+10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | A null pointer dereference can occur when blkcg is removed manually with writeback IOs inflight. This is caused by the following case: Writeback kworker submit the bio and set bio->bi_cg_private to tg in blk_throtl_assoc_bio. Then we remove the block cgroup manually, the blkg and tg would be freed if there is no request inflight. When the submitted bio come back, blk_throtl_bio_endio() fetch the tg which was already freed. Fix this by increasing the refcount of blkg in funcion blk_throtl_assoc_bio() so that the blkg will not be freed until the bio_endio called.

The SPDX identifier is a legally binding shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text. This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and Philippe Ombredanne. How this work was done: Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of the use cases: - file had no licensing information it it. - file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it, - file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information, Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords. The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the output of two independent scanners (ScanCode & Windriver) producing SPDX tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne. Philippe prepared the base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files. The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files assessed. Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s) to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was: - Files considered eligible had to be source code files. - Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained >5 lines of source - File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if <5 lines). All documentation files were explicitly excluded. The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license identifiers to apply. - when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was considered to have no license information in it, and the top level COPYING file license applied. For non */uapi/* files that summary was: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------- GPL-2.0 11139 and resulted in the first patch in this series. If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0". Results of that was: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------- GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 930 and resulted in the second patch in this series. - if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in it (per prior point). Results summary: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------ GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 270 GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 169 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause) 21 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 17 LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 15 GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 14 ((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 5 LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 4 LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note 3 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT) 3 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT) 1 and that resulted in the third patch in this series. - when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became the concluded license(s). - when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a license but the other didn't, or they both detected different licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred. - In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics). - When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. - If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier, the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later in time. In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights. The Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so they are related. Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks in about 15000 files. In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the correct identifier. Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch version early this week with: - a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected license ids and scores - reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+ files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct - reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction. This worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the different types of files to be modified. These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg. Thomas wrote a script to parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the format that the file expected. This script was further refined by Greg based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different comment types.) Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to generate the patches.

* blk-throttle: set default latency baseline for harddiskShaohua Li2017-06-071-3/+17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | hard disk IO latency varies a lot depending on spindle move. The latency range could be from several microseconds to several milliseconds. It's pretty hard to get the baseline latency used by io.low. We will use a different stragety here. The idea is only using IO with spindle move to determine if cgroup IO is in good state. For HD, if io latency is small (< 1ms), we ignore the IO. Such IO is likely from sequential IO, and is helpless to help determine if a cgroup's IO is impacted by other cgroups. With this, we only account IO with big latency. Then we can choose a hardcoded baseline latency for HD (4ms, which is typical IO latency with seek). With all these settings, the io.low latency works for both HD and SSD. Signed-off-by: Shaohua Li <shli@fb.com> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@fb.com>

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | One hard problem adding .low limit is to detect idle cgroup. If one cgroup doesn't dispatch enough IO against its low limit, we must have a mechanism to determine if other cgroups dispatch more IO. We added the think time detection mechanism before, but it doesn't work for all workloads. Here we add a latency based approach. We already have mechanism to calculate latency threshold for each IO size. For every IO dispatched from a cgorup, we compare its latency against its threshold and record the info. If most IO latency is below threshold (in the code I use 75%), the cgroup could be treated idle and other cgroups can dispatch more IO. Currently this latency target check is only for SSD as we can't calcualte the latency target for hard disk. And this is only for cgroup leaf node so far.

* blk-throttle: add a mechanism to estimate IO latencyShaohua Li2017-03-281-5/+161
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | User configures latency target, but the latency threshold for each request size isn't fixed. For a SSD, the IO latency highly depends on request size. To calculate latency threshold, we sample some data, eg, average latency for request size 4k, 8k, 16k, 32k .. 1M. The latency threshold of each request size will be the sample latency (I'll call it base latency) plus latency target. For example, the base latency for request size 4k is 80us and user configures latency target 60us. The 4k latency threshold will be 80 + 60 = 140us. To sample data, we calculate the order base 2 of rounded up IO sectors. If the IO size is bigger than 1M, it will be accounted as 1M. Since the calculation does round up, the base latency will be slightly smaller than actual value. Also if there isn't any IO dispatched for a specific IO size, we will use the base latency of smaller IO size for this IO size. But we shouldn't sample data at any time. The base latency is supposed to be latency where disk isn't congested, because we use latency threshold to schedule IOs between cgroups. If disk is congested, the latency is higher, using it for scheduling is meaningless. Hence we only do the sampling when block throttling is in the LOW limit, with assumption disk isn't congested in such state. If the assumption isn't true, eg, low limit is too high, calculated latency threshold will be higher. Hard disk is completely different. Latency depends on spindle seek instead of request size. Currently this feature is SSD only, we probably can use a fixed threshold like 4ms for hard disk though. Signed-off-by: Shaohua Li <shli@fb.com> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@fb.com>
* blk-throttle: add interface for per-cgroup target latencyShaohua Li2017-03-281-4/+24
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Here we introduce per-cgroup latency target. The target determines how a cgroup can afford latency increasement. We will use the target latency to calculate a threshold and use it to schedule IO for cgroups. If a cgroup's bandwidth is below its low limit but its average latency is below the threshold, other cgroups can safely dispatch more IO even their bandwidth is higher than their low limits. On the other hand, if the first cgroup's latency is higher than the threshold, other cgroups are throttled to their low limits. So the target latency determines how we efficiently utilize free disk resource without sacifice of worload's IO latency. For example, assume 4k IO average latency is 50us when disk isn't congested. A cgroup sets the target latency to 30us. Then the cgroup can accept 50+30=80us IO latency. If the cgroupt's average IO latency is 90us and its bandwidth is below low limit, other cgroups are throttled to their low limit. If the cgroup's average IO latency is 60us, other cgroups are allowed to dispatch more IO. When other cgroups dispatch more IO, the first cgroup's IO latency will increase. If it increases to 81us, we then throttle other cgroups. User will configure the interface in this way: echo "8:16 rbps=2097152 wbps=max latency=100 idle=200" > io.low latency is in microsecond unit By default, latency target is 0, which means to guarantee IO latency.

* blk-throttle: add a simple idle detectionShaohua Li2017-03-281-1/+81
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | A cgroup gets assigned a low limit, but the cgroup could never dispatch enough IO to cross the low limit. In such case, the queue state machine will remain in LIMIT_LOW state and all other cgroups will be throttled according to low limit. This is unfair for other cgroups. We should treat the cgroup idle and upgrade the state machine to lower state. We also have a downgrade logic. If the state machine upgrades because of cgroup idle (real idle), the state machine will downgrade soon as the cgroup is below its low limit. This isn't what we want. A more complicated case is cgroup isn't idle when queue is in LIMIT_LOW. But when queue gets upgraded to lower state, other cgroups could dispatch more IO and this cgroup can't dispatch enough IO, so the cgroup is below its low limit and looks like idle (fake idle). In this case, the queue should downgrade soon. The key to determine if we should do downgrade is to detect if cgroup is truely idle. Unfortunately it's very hard to determine if a cgroup is real idle. This patch uses the 'think time check' idea from CFQ for the purpose. Please note, the idea doesn't work for all workloads. For example, a workload with io depth 8 has disk utilization 100%, hence think time is 0, eg, not idle. But the workload can run higher bandwidth with io depth 16. Compared to io depth 16, the io depth 8 workload is idle. We use the idea to roughly determine if a cgroup is idle. We treat a cgroup idle if its think time is above a threshold (by default 1ms for SSD and 100ms for HD). The idea is think time above the threshold will start to harm performance. HD is much slower so a longer think time is ok. The patch (and the latter patches) uses 'unsigned long' to track time. We convert 'ns' to 'us' with 'ns >> 10'. This is fast but loses precision, should not a big deal. Signed-off-by: Shaohua Li <shli@fb.com> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@fb.com>
* blk-throttle: make bandwidth change smoothShaohua Li2017-03-281-3/+54
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When cgroups all reach low limit, cgroups can dispatch more IO. This could make some cgroups dispatch more IO but others not, and even some cgroups could dispatch less IO than their low limit. For example, cg1 low limit 10MB/s, cg2 limit 80MB/s, assume disk maximum bandwidth is 120M/s for the workload. Their bps could something like this: cg1/cg2 bps: T1: 10/80 -> T2: 60/60 -> T3: 10/80 At T1, all cgroups reach low limit, so they can dispatch more IO later. Then cg1 dispatch more IO and cg2 has no room to dispatch enough IO. At T2, cg2 only dispatches 60M/s. Since We detect cg2 dispatches less IO than its low limit 80M/s, we downgrade the queue from LIMIT_MAX to LIMIT_LOW, then all cgroups are throttled to their low limit (T3). cg2 will have bandwidth below its low limit at most time. The big problem here is we don't know the maximum bandwidth of the workload, so we can't make smart decision to avoid the situation. This patch makes cgroup bandwidth change smooth. After disk upgrades from LIMIT_LOW to LIMIT_MAX, we don't allow cgroups use all bandwidth upto their max limit immediately. Their bandwidth limit will be increased gradually to avoid above situation. So above example will became something like: cg1/cg2 bps: 10/80 -> 15/105 -> 20/100 -> 25/95 -> 30/90 -> 35/85 -> 40/80 -> 45/75 -> 22/98 In this way cgroups bandwidth will be above their limit in majority time, this still doesn't fully utilize disk bandwidth, but that's something we pay for sharing. Scale up is linear. The limit scales up 1/2 .low limit every throtl_slice after upgrade. The scale up will stop if the adjusted limit hits .max limit. Scale down is exponential. We cut the scale value half if a cgroup doesn't hit its .low limit. If the scale becomes 0, we then fully downgrade the queue to LIMIT_LOW state. Note this doesn't completely avoid cgroup running under its low limit. The best way to guarantee cgroup doesn't run under its limit is to set max limit. For example, if we set cg1 max limit to 40, cg2 will never run under its low limit. Signed-off-by: Shaohua Li <shli@fb.com> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@fb.com>

Detecting idle cgroup is hard. This patch handles a simple case, a cgroup doesn't dispatch any IO. We ignore such cgroup's limit, so other cgroups can use the bandwidth. Please note this will be replaced with a more sophisticated algorithm later, but this demonstrates the idea how we handle idle cgroups, so I leave it here.

* blk-throttle: choose a small throtl_slice for SSDShaohua Li2017-03-281-3/+20
| | | | | | | | | The throtl_slice is 100ms by default. This is a long time for SSD, a lot of IO can run. To make cgroups have smoother throughput, we choose a small value (20ms) for SSD. Signed-off-by: Shaohua Li <shli@fb.com> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@fb.com>
* blk-throttle: make throtl_slice tunableShaohua Li2017-03-281-22/+57
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | throtl_slice is important for blk-throttling. It's called slice internally but it really is a time window blk-throttling samples data. blk-throttling will make decision based on the samplings. An example is bandwidth measurement. A cgroup's bandwidth is measured in the time interval of throtl_slice. A small throtl_slice meanse cgroups have smoother throughput but burn more CPUs. It has 100ms default value, which is not appropriate for all disks. A fast SSD can dispatch a lot of IOs in 100ms. This patch makes it tunable. Since throtl_slice isn't a time slice, the sysfs name 'throttle_sample_time' reflects its character better. Signed-off-by: Shaohua Li <shli@fb.com> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@fb.com>
* blk-throttle: make sure expire time isn't too bigShaohua Li2017-03-281-0/+11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | cgroup could be throttled to a limit but when all cgroups cross high limit, queue enters a higher state and so the group should be throttled to a higher limit. It's possible the cgroup is sleeping because of throttle and other cgroups don't dispatch IO any more. In this case, nobody can trigger current downgrade/upgrade logic. To fix this issue, we could either set up a timer to wakeup the cgroup if other cgroups are idle or make sure this cgroup doesn't sleep too long. Setting up a timer means we must change the timer very frequently. This patch chooses the latter. Making cgroup sleep time not too big wouldn't change cgroup bps/iops, but could make it wakeup more frequently, which isn't a big issue because throtl_slice * 8 is already quite big.

* blk-throttle: add upgrade logic for LIMIT_LOW stateShaohua Li2017-03-281-4/+96
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When queue is in LIMIT_LOW state and all cgroups with low limit cross the bps/iops limitation, we will upgrade queue's state to LIMIT_MAX. To determine if a cgroup exceeds its limitation, we check if the cgroup has pending request. Since cgroup is throttled according to the limit, pending request means the cgroup reaches the limit. If a cgroup has limit set for both read and write, we consider the combination of them for upgrade. The reason is read IO and write IO can interfere with each other. If we do the upgrade based in one direction IO, the other direction IO could be severly harmed. For a cgroup hierarchy, there are two cases. Children has lower low limit than parent. Parent's low limit is meaningless. If children's bps/iops cross low limit, we can upgrade queue state. The other case is children has higher low limit than parent. Children's low limit is meaningless. As long as parent's bps/iops (which is a sum of childrens bps/iops) cross low limit, we can upgrade queue state.

* blk-throttle: configure bps/iops limit for cgroup in low limitShaohua Li2017-03-281-2/+18
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | each queue will have a state machine. Initially queue is in LIMIT_LOW state, which means all cgroups will be throttled according to their low limit. After all cgroups with low limit cross the limit, the queue state gets upgraded to LIMIT_MAX state. For max limit, cgroup will use the limit configured by user. For low limit, cgroup will use the minimal value between low limit and max limit configured by user. If the minimal value is 0, which means the cgroup doesn't configure low limit, we will use max limit to throttle the cgroup and the cgroup is ready to upgrade to LIMIT_MAX Signed-off-by: Shaohua Li <shli@fb.com> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@fb.com>

| | | | | | | | | | | | Add low limit for cgroup and corresponding cgroup interface. To be consistent with memcg, we allow users configure .low limit higher than .max limit. But the internal logic always assumes .low limit is lower than .max limit. So we add extra bps/iops_conf fields in throtl_grp for userspace configuration. Old bps/iops fields in throtl_grp will be the actual limit we use for throttling. Signed-off-by: Shaohua Li <shli@fb.com> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@fb.com>

* blk-throttle: Extend slice if throttle group is not emptyVivek Goyal2016-09-191-2/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Right now, if slice is expired, we start a new slice. If a bio is queued, we keep on extending slice by throtle_slice interval (100ms). This worked well as long as pending timer function got executed with-in few milli seconds of scheduled time. But looks like with recent changes in timer subsystem, slack can be much longer depending on the expiry time of the scheduled timer. commit 500462a9de65 ("timers: Switch to a non-cascading wheel") This means, by the time timer function gets executed, it is possible the delay from scheduled time is more than 100ms. That means current code will conclude that existing slice has expired and a new one needs to be started. New slice will be 100ms by default and that will not be sufficient to meet rate requirement of group given the bio size and bio will not be dispatched and we will start a new timer function to wait. And when that timer expires, same process will repeat and we will wait again and this can easily be an infinite loop. Solve this issue by starting a new slice only if throttle gropup is empty. If it is not empty, that means there should be an active slice going on. Ideally it should not be expired but given the slack, it is possible that it has expired.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.
