From these bandwidth +guarantees, it is possible to compute tight per-I/O-request delay +guarantees by a simple formula. If not configured for strict service +guarantees, BFQ switches to time-based resource sharing (only) for +applications that would otherwise cause a throughput loss. + +1-2 Server systems +------------------ + +Most benefits for server systems follow from the same service +properties as above.

How does BFQ work? +===================== + +BFQ is a proportional-share I/O scheduler, whose general structure, +plus a lot of code, are borrowed from CFQ. + +- Each process doing I/O on a device is associated with a weight and a + (bfq_)queue. + +- BFQ grants exclusive access to the device, for a while, to one queue + (process) at a time, and implements this service model by + associating every queue with a budget, measured in number of + sectors. + + - After a queue is granted access to the device, the budget of the + queue is decremented, on each request dispatch, by the size of the + request. + + - The in-service queue is expired, i.e., its service is suspended, + only if one of the following events occurs: 1) the queue finishes + its budget, 2) the queue empties, 3) a "budget timeout" fires. + + - The budget timeout prevents processes doing random I/O from + holding the device for too long and dramatically reducing + throughput. + + - Actually, as in CFQ, a queue associated with a process issuing + sync requests may not be expired immediately when it empties. In + contrast, BFQ may idle the device for a short time interval, + giving the process the chance to go on being served if it issues + a new request in time. Device idling typically boosts the + throughput on rotational devices, if processes do synchronous + and sequential I/O. In addition, under BFQ, device idling is + also instrumental in guaranteeing the desired throughput + fraction to processes issuing sync requests (see the description + of the slice_idle tunable in this document, or [1, 2], for more + details). + + - With respect to idling for service guarantees, if several + processes are competing for the device at the same time, but + all processes (and groups, after the following commit) have + the same weight, then BFQ guarantees the expected throughput + distribution without ever idling the device. Throughput is + thus as high as possible in this common scenario. + + - If low-latency mode is enabled (default configuration), BFQ + executes some special heuristics to detect interactive and soft + real-time applications (e.g., video or audio players/streamers), + and to reduce their latency. The most important action taken to + achieve this goal is to give to the queues associated with these + applications more than their fair share of the device + throughput. For brevity, we call just "weight-raising" the whole + sets of actions taken by BFQ to privilege these queues. In + particular, BFQ provides a milder form of weight-raising for + interactive applications, and a stronger form for soft real-time + applications. + + - BFQ automatically deactivates idling for queues born in a burst of + queue creations. In fact, these queues are usually associated with + the processes of applications and services that benefit mostly + from a high throughput. Examples are systemd during boot, or git + grep. + + - As CFQ, BFQ merges queues performing interleaved I/O, i.e., + performing random I/O that becomes mostly sequential if + merged. Differently from CFQ, BFQ achieves this goal with a more + reactive mechanism, called Early Queue Merge (EQM). EQM is so + responsive in detecting interleaved I/O (cooperating processes), + that it enables BFQ to achieve a high throughput, by queue + merging, even for queues for which CFQ needs a different + mechanism, preemption, to get a high throughput. As such EQM is a + unified mechanism to achieve a high throughput with interleaved + I/O. + + - Queues are scheduled according to a variant of WF2Q+, named + B-WF2Q+, and implemented using an augmented rb-tree to preserve an + O(log N) overall complexity. See [2] for more details. B-WF2Q+ is + also ready for hierarchical scheduling. However, for a cleaner + logical breakdown, the code that enables and completes + hierarchical support is provided in the next commit, which focuses + exactly on this feature. + + - B-WF2Q+ guarantees a tight deviation with respect to an ideal, + perfectly fair, and smooth service. In particular, B-WF2Q+ + guarantees that each queue receives a fraction of the device + throughput proportional to its weight, even if the throughput + fluctuates, and regardless of: the device parameters, the current + workload and the budgets assigned to the queue. + + - The last, budget-independence, property (although probably + counterintuitive in the first place) is definitely beneficial, for + the following reasons: + + - First, with any proportional-share scheduler, the maximum + deviation with respect to an ideal service is proportional to + the maximum budget (slice) assigned to queues. As a consequence, + BFQ can keep this deviation tight not only because of the + accurate service of B-WF2Q+, but also because BFQ *does not* + need to assign a larger budget to a queue to let the queue + receive a higher fraction of the device throughput. + + - Second, BFQ is free to choose, for every process (queue), the + budget that best fits the needs of the process, or best + leverages the I/O pattern of the process. In particular, BFQ + updates queue budgets with a simple feedback-loop algorithm that + allows a high throughput to be achieved, while still providing + tight latency guarantees to time-sensitive applications. When + the in-service queue expires, this algorithm computes the next + budget of the queue so as to: + + - Let large budgets be eventually assigned to the queues + associated with I/O-bound applications performing sequential + I/O: in fact, the longer these applications are served once + got access to the device, the higher the throughput is. + + - Let small budgets be eventually assigned to the queues + associated with time-sensitive applications (which typically + perform sporadic and short I/O), because, the smaller the + budget assigned to a queue waiting for service is, the sooner + B-WF2Q+ will serve that queue (Subsec 3.3 in [2]). + +- If several processes are competing for the device at the same time, + but all processes and groups have the same weight, then BFQ + guarantees the expected throughput distribution without ever idling + the device. It uses preemption instead. Throughput is then much + higher in this common scenario. + +- ioprio classes are served in strict priority order, i.e., + lower-priority queues are not served as long as there are + higher-priority queues. Among queues in the same class, the + bandwidth is distributed in proportion to the weight of each + queue. A very thin extra bandwidth is however guaranteed to + the Idle class, to prevent it from starving. + + +3. What are BFQ's tunable? +========================== + +The tunables back_seek-max, back_seek_penalty, fifo_expire_async and +fifo_expire_sync below are the same as in CFQ. Their description is +just copied from that for CFQ. Some considerations in the description +of slice_idle are copied from CFQ too. + +per-process ioprio and weight +----------------------------- + +Unless the cgroups interface is used (see "4. BFQ group scheduling"), +weights can be assigned to processes only indirectly, through I/O +priorities, and according to the relation: +weight = (IOPRIO_BE_NR - ioprio) * 10. + +Beware that, if low-latency is set, then BFQ automatically raises the +weight of the queues associated with interactive and soft real-time +applications. Unset this tunable if you need/want to control weights. + +slice_idle +---------- + +This parameter specifies how long BFQ should idle for next I/O +request, when certain sync BFQ queues become empty. By default +slice_idle is a non-zero value. Idling has a double purpose: boosting +throughput and making sure that the desired throughput distribution is +respected (see the description of how BFQ works, and, if needed, the +papers referred there). + +As for throughput, idling can be very helpful on highly seeky media +like single spindle SATA/SAS disks where we can cut down on overall +number of seeks and see improved throughput. + +Setting slice_idle to 0 will remove all the idling on queues and one +should see an overall improved throughput on faster storage devices +like multiple SATA/SAS disks in hardware RAID configuration. + +So depending on storage and workload, it might be useful to set +slice_idle=0. In general for SATA/SAS disks and software RAID of +SATA/SAS disks keeping slice_idle enabled should be useful. For any +configurations where there are multiple spindles behind single LUN +(Host based hardware RAID controller or for storage arrays), setting +slice_idle=0 might end up in better throughput and acceptable +latencies. + +Idling is however necessary to have service guarantees enforced in +case of differentiated weights or differentiated I/O-request lengths. +To see why, suppose that a given BFQ queue A must get several I/O +requests served for each request served for another queue B. Idling +ensures that, if A makes a new I/O request slightly after becoming +empty, then no request of B is dispatched in the middle, and thus A +does not lose the possibility to get more than one request dispatched +before the next request of B is dispatched. Note that idling +guarantees the desired differentiated treatment of queues only in +terms of I/O-request dispatches. To guarantee that the actual service +order then corresponds to the dispatch order, the strict_guarantees +tunable must be set too. + +There is an important flipside for idling: apart from the above cases +where it is beneficial also for throughput, idling can severely impact +throughput. One important case is random workload. Because of this +issue, BFQ tends to avoid idling as much as possible, when it is not +beneficial also for throughput. As a consequence of this behavior, and +of further issues described for the strict_guarantees tunable, +short-term service guarantees may be occasionally violated. And, in +some cases, these guarantees may be more important than guaranteeing +maximum throughput. For example, in video playing/streaming, a very +low drop rate may be more important than maximum throughput. In these +cases, consider setting the strict_guarantees parameter. + +strict_guarantees +----------------- + +If this parameter is set (default: unset), then BFQ + +- always performs idling when the in-service queue becomes empty; + +- forces the device to serve one I/O request at a time, by dispatching a + new request only if there is no outstanding request. + +In the presence of differentiated weights or I/O-request sizes, both +the above conditions are needed to guarantee that every BFQ queue +receives its allotted share of the bandwidth. The first condition is +needed for the reasons explained in the description of the slice_idle +tunable. The second condition is needed because all modern storage +devices reorder internally-queued requests, which may trivially break +the service guarantees enforced by the I/O scheduler. + +Setting strict_guarantees may evidently affect throughput. + +back_seek_max +------------- + +This specifies, given in Kbytes, the maximum "distance" for backward seeking. +The distance is the amount of space from the current head location to the +sectors that are backward in terms of distance. + +This parameter allows the scheduler to anticipate requests in the "backward" +direction and consider them as being the "next" if they are within this +distance from the current head location. + +back_seek_penalty +----------------- + +This parameter is used to compute the cost of backward seeking. If the +backward distance of request is just 1/back_seek_penalty from a "front" +request, then the seeking cost of two requests is considered equivalent. + +So scheduler will not bias toward one or the other request (otherwise scheduler +will bias toward front request). Default value of back_seek_penalty is 2. + +fifo_expire_async +----------------- + +This parameter is used to set the timeout of asynchronous requests. Default +value of this is 248ms. + +fifo_expire_sync +---------------- + +This parameter is used to set the timeout of synchronous requests. Default +value of this is 124ms. In case to favor synchronous requests over asynchronous +one, this value should be decreased relative to fifo_expire_async. + +low_latency +----------- + +This parameter is used to enable/disable BFQ's low latency mode. By +default, low latency mode is enabled. If enabled, interactive and soft +real-time applications are privileged and experience a lower latency, +as explained in more detail in the description of how BFQ works. + +DO NOT enable this mode if you need full control on bandwidth +distribution. In fact, if it is enabled, then BFQ automatically +increases the bandwidth share of privileged applications, as the main +means to guarantee a lower latency to them. + +timeout_sync +------------ + +Maximum amount of device time that can be given to a task (queue) once +it has been selected for service. On devices with costly seeks, +increasing this time usually increases maximum throughput. On the +opposite end, increasing this time coarsens the granularity of the +short-term bandwidth and latency guarantees, especially if the +following parameter is set to zero. + +max_budget +---------- + +Maximum amount of service, measured in sectors, that can be provided +to a BFQ queue once it is set in service (of course within the limits +of the above timeout). According to what said in the description of +the algorithm, larger values increase the throughput in proportion to +the percentage of sequential I/O requests issued. The price of larger +values is that they coarsen the granularity of short-term bandwidth +and latency guarantees. + +The default value is 0, which enables auto-tuning: BFQ sets max_budget +to the maximum number of sectors that can be served during +timeout_sync, according to the estimated peak rate. + +weights +------- + +Read-only parameter, used to show the weights of the currently active +BFQ queues. + + +wr_ tunables +------------ + +BFQ exports a few parameters to control/tune the behavior of +low-latency heuristics. + +wr_coeff + +Factor by which the weight of a weight-raised queue is multiplied. If +the queue is deemed soft real-time, then the weight is further +multiplied by an additional, constant factor. + +wr_max_time + +Maximum duration of a weight-raising period for an interactive task +(ms). If set to zero (default value), then this value is computed +automatically, as a function of the peak rate of the device. In any +case, when the value of this parameter is read, it always reports the +current duration, regardless of whether it has been set manually or +computed automatically. + +wr_max_softrt_rate + +Maximum service rate below which a queue is deemed to be associated +with a soft real-time application, and is then weight-raised +accordingly (sectors/sec). + +wr_min_idle_time + +Minimum idle period after which interactive weight-raising may be +reactivated for a queue (in ms). + +wr_rt_max_time + +Maximum weight-raising duration for soft real-time queues (in ms). The +start time from which this duration is considered is automatically +moved forward if the queue is detected to be still soft real-time +before the current soft real-time weight-raising period finishes. + +wr_min_inter_arr_async + +Minimum period between I/O request arrivals after which weight-raising +may be reactivated for an already busy async queue (in ms). + + +4. Group scheduling with BFQ +============================ + +BFQ supports both cgroups-v1 and cgroups-v2 io controllers, namely +blkio and io. In particular, BFQ supports weight-based proportional +share. To activate cgroups support, set BFQ_GROUP_IOSCHED. + +4-1 Service guarantees provided +------------------------------- + +With BFQ, proportional share means true proportional share of the +device bandwidth, according to group weights. For example, a group +with weight 200 gets twice the bandwidth, and not just twice the time, +of a group with weight 100. + +BFQ supports hierarchies (group trees) of any depth. Bandwidth is +distributed among groups and processes in the expected way: for each +group, the children of the group share the whole bandwidth of the +group in proportion to their weights. In particular, this implies +that, for each leaf group, every process of the group receives the +same share of the whole group bandwidth, unless the ioprio of the +process is modified. + +The resource-sharing guarantee for a group may partially or totally +switch from bandwidth to time, if providing bandwidth guarantees to +the group lowers the throughput too much. This switch occurs on a +per-process basis: if a process of a leaf group causes throughput loss +if served in such a way to receive its share of the bandwidth, then +BFQ switches back to just time-based proportional share for that +process. + +4-2 Interface +------------- + +To get proportional sharing of bandwidth with BFQ for a given device, +BFQ must of course be the active scheduler for that device. + +Within each group directory, the names of the files associated with +BFQ-specific cgroup parameters and stats begin with the "bfq." +prefix. So, with cgroups-v1 or cgroups-v2, the full prefix for +BFQ-specific files is "blkio.bfq." or "io.bfq." For example, the group +parameter to set the weight of a group with BFQ is blkio.bfq.weight +or io.bfq.weight. + +Parameters to set +----------------- + +For each group, there is only the following parameter to set. + +weight (namely blkio.bfq.weight or io.bfq-weight): the weight of the +group inside its parent. Available values: 1..10000 (default 100). The +linear mapping between ioprio and weights, described at the beginning +of the tunable section, is still valid, but all weights higher than +IOPRIO_BE_NR*10 are mapped to ioprio 0. + +Recall that, if low-latency is set, then BFQ automatically raises the +weight of the queues associated with interactive and soft real-time +applications.

(read confirm, -write confirm) -B. IO mode uses SRAM bus interface. -C. IO mode supports 4kB boot area, so host can boot from mflash. - -2. Reserved area configuration -If host boot from mflash, usually needs raw area for boot loader image. All of -the mflash's block device operation will be taken this value as start offset. -Note that boot loader's size of reserved area and kernel configuration value -must be same. - -3.
