2009-12-04blkio: Export some symbols from blkio as its user CFQ can be a moduleVivek Goyal
o blkio controller is inside the kernel and cfq makes use of interfaces exported by blkio. CFQ can be a module too, hence export symbols used by CFQ. Signed-off-by: Vivek Goyal <vgoyal@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com>
2009-12-04block: Fix io_context leak after failure of clone with CLONE_IOLouis Rilling
With CLONE_IO, parent's io_context->nr_tasks is incremented, but never decremented whenever copy_process() fails afterwards, which prevents exit_io_context() from calling IO schedulers exit functions. Give a task_struct to exit_io_context(), and call exit_io_context() instead of put_io_context() in copy_process() cleanup path.

With CLONE_IO, copy_io() increments both ioc->refcount and ioc->nr_tasks. However exit_io_context() only decrements ioc->refcount if ioc->nr_tasks reaches 0.

2009-12-04cfq-iosched: make nonrot check logic consistentShaohua Li
cfq_arm_slice_timer() has logic to disable idle window for SSD device. The same thing should be done at cfq_select_queue() too, otherwise we will still see idle window. This makes the nonrot check logic consistent in cfq. Tests in a intel SSD with low_latency knob close, below patch can triple disk thoughput for muti-thread sequential read.

2009-12-03blkio: Wait on sync-noidle queue even if rq_noidle = 1Vivek Goyal
o rq_noidle() is supposed to tell cfq that do not expect a request after this one, hence don't idle. But this does not seem to work very well. For example for direct random readers, rq_noidle = 1 but there is next request coming after this. Not idling, leads to a group not getting its share even if group_isolation=1. o The right solution for this issue is to scan the higher layers and set right flag (WRITE_SYNC or WRITE_ODIRECT). For the time being, this single line fix helps. This should not have any significant impact when we are not using cgroups. I will later figure out IO paths in higher layer and fix it.

2009-12-03blkio: Implement group_isolation tunableVivek Goyal
o If a group is running only a random reader, then it will not have enough traffic to keep disk busy and we will reduce overall throughput. This should result in better latencies for random reader though. If we don't idle on random reader service tree, then this random reader will experience large latencies if there are other groups present in system with sequential readers running in these. o One solution suggested by corrado is that by default keep the random readers or sync-noidle workload in root group so that during one dispatch round we idle only once on sync-noidle tree. This means that all the sync-idle workload queues will be in their respective group and we will see service differentiation in those but not on sync-noidle workload. o Provide a tunable group_isolation. If set, this will make sure that even sync-noidle queues go in their respective group and we wait on these. This provides stronger isolation between groups but at the expense of throughput if group does not have enough traffic to keep the disk busy. o By default group_isolation = 0 Signed-off-by: Vivek Goyal <vgoyal@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com>
2009-12-03blkio: Determine async workload length based on total number of queuesVivek Goyal
o Async queues are not per group. Instead these are system wide and maintained in root group. Hence their workload slice length should be calculated based on total number of queues in the system and not just queues in the root group. o As root group's default weight is 1000, make sure to charge async queue more in terms of vtime so that it does not get more time on disk because root group has higher weight.

2009-12-03blkio: Wait for cfq queue to get backlogged if group is emptyVivek Goyal
o If a queue consumes its slice and then gets deleted from service tree, its associated group will also get deleted from service tree if this was the only queue in the group. That will make group loose its share. o For the queues on which we have idling on and if these have used their slice, wait a bit for these queues to get backlogged again and then expire these queues so that group does not loose its share.

2009-12-03blkio: Provide some isolation between groupsVivek Goyal

2009-12-03blkio: Group time used accounting and workload context save restoreVivek Goyal
o This patch introduces the functionality to do the accounting of group time when a queue expires. This time used decides which is the group to go next. o Also introduce the functionlity to save and restore the workload type context with-in group. It might happen that once we expire the cfq queue and group, a different group will schedule in and we will lose the context of the workload type. Hence save and restore it upon queue expiry.

2009-12-03blkio: Implement per cfq group latency target and busy queue avgVivek Goyal
o So far we had 300ms soft target latency system wide. Now with the introduction of cfq groups, divide that latency by number of groups so that one can come up with group target latency which will be helpful in determining the workload slice with-in group and also the dynamic slice length of the cfq queue.

2009-12-03blkio: Introduce the root service tree for cfq groupsVivek Goyal
o So far we just had one cfq_group in cfq_data.

2009-12-03blkio: Keep queue on service tree until we expire itVivek Goyal
o Currently cfqq deletes a queue from service tree if it is empty (even if we might idle on the queue). This patch keeps the queue on service tree hence associated group remains on the service tree until we decide that we are not going to idle on the queue and expire it. o This just helps in time accounting for queue/group and in implementation of rest of the patches.

2009-12-03blkio: Introduce the notion of cfq groupsVivek Goyal

So hierarchy looks as follows. cfq_groups | workload type | cfq queue o When an scheduling decision has to be taken, first we select the cfq group then workload with-in the group and then cfq queue with-in the workload type. o This patch just makes various workload service tree per cfq group and introduce the function to be able to choose a group for scheduling.

2009-12-03cfq-iosched: no dispatch limit for single queueShaohua Li
Since commit 2f5cb7381b737e24c8046fd4aeab571fb71315f5, each queue can send up to 4 * 4 requests if only one queue exists. I wonder why we have such limit. Device supports tag can send more requests. For example, AHCI can send 31 requests. Test (direct aio randread) shows the limits reduce about 4% disk thoughput. On the other hand, since we send one request one time, if other queue pop when current is sending more than cfq_quantum requests, current queue will stop send requests soon after one request, so sounds there is no big latency.

2009-12-03block: Allow devices to indicate whether discarded blocks are zeroedMartin K. Petersen
The discard ioctl is used by mkfs utilities to clear a block device prior to putting metadata down. However, not all devices return zeroed blocks after a discard. Some drives return stale data, potentially containing old superblocks. It is therefore important to know whether discarded blocks are properly zeroed. Both ATA and SCSI drives have configuration bits that indicate whether zeroes are returned after a discard operation. Implement a block level interface that allows this information to be bubbled up the stack and queried via a new block device ioctl. Signed-off-by: Martin K.

2009-12-02modules: don't export section names of empty sections via sysfsHelge Deller
On the parisc architecture we face for each and every loaded kernel module this kernel "badness warning": sysfs: cannot create duplicate filename '/module/ac97_bus/sections/.text' Badness at fs/sysfs/dir.c:487 Reason for that is, that on parisc all kernel modules do have multiple .text sections due to the usage of the -ffunction-sections compiler flag which is needed to reach all jump targets on this platform. An objdump on such a kernel module gives: Sections: Idx Name Size VMA LMA File off Algn 0 .note.gnu.build-id 00000024 00000000 00000000 00000034 2**2 CONTENTS, ALLOC, LOAD, READONLY, DATA 1 .text 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000058 2**0 CONTENTS, ALLOC, LOAD, READONLY, CODE 2 .text.ac97_bus_match 0000001c 00000000 00000000 00000058 2**2 CONTENTS, ALLOC, LOAD, READONLY, CODE 3 .text 00000000 00000000 00000000 000000d4 2**0 CONTENTS, ALLOC, LOAD, READONLY, CODE ... Since the .text sections are empty (size of 0 bytes) and won't be loaded by the kernel module loader anyway, I don't see a reason why such sections need to be listed under /sys/module/<module_name>/sections/<section_name> either. The attached patch does solve this issue by not exporting section names which are empty.
