2019-08-29blkcg: implement blk-iocostTejun Heo1-0/+3
This patchset implements IO cost model based work-conserving proportional controller. While io.latency provides the capability to comprehensively prioritize and protect IOs depending on the cgroups, its protection is binary - the lowest latency target cgroup which is suffering is protected at the cost of all others. In many use cases including stacking multiple workload containers in a single system, it's necessary to distribute IO capacity with better granularity. One challenge of controlling IO resources is the lack of trivially observable cost metric. The most common metrics - bandwidth and iops - can be off by orders of magnitude depending on the device type and IO pattern. However, the cost isn't a complete mystery. Given several key attributes, we can make fairly reliable predictions on how expensive a given stream of IOs would be, at least compared to other IO patterns. The function which determines the cost of a given IO is the IO cost model for the device. This controller distributes IO capacity based on the costs estimated by such model. The more accurate the cost model the better but the controller adapts based on IO completion latency and as long as the relative costs across differents IO patterns are consistent and sensible, it'll adapt to the actual performance of the device. Currently, the only implemented cost model is a simple linear one with a few sets of default parameters for different classes of device. This covers most common devices reasonably well. All the infrastructure to tune and add different cost models is already in place and a later patch will also allow using bpf progs for cost models. Please see the top comment in blk-iocost.c and documentation for more details. v2: Rebased on top of RQ_ALLOC_TIME changes and folded in Rik's fix for a divide-by-zero bug in current_hweight() triggered by zero inuse_sum.

io.weight is gonna be another rq_qos cgroup mechanism. Let's rename RQ_QOS_CGROUP which is being used by io.latency to RQ_QOS_LATENCY in preparation. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@kernel.dk>
2019-08-29block/rq_qos: implement rq_qos_ops->queue_depth_changed()Tejun Heo1-0/+8
wbt already gets queue depth changed notification through wbt_set_queue_depth(). Generalize it into rq_qos_ops->queue_depth_changed() so that other rq_qos policies can easily hook into the events too. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@kernel.dk>

2018-12-17block: fix blk-iolatency accounting underflowDennis Zhou1-0/+5
The blk-iolatency controller measures the time from rq_qos_throttle() to rq_qos_done_bio() and attributes this time to the first bio that needs to create the request. This means if a bio is plug-mergeable or bio-mergeable, it gets to bypass the blk-iolatency controller. The recent series [1], to tag all bios w/ blkgs undermined how iolatency was determining which bios it was charging and should process in rq_qos_done_bio(). Because all bios are being tagged, this caused the atomic_t for the struct rq_wait inflight count to underflow and result in a stall. This patch adds a new flag BIO_TRACKED to let controllers know that a bio is going through the rq_qos path. blk-iolatency now checks if this flag is set to see if it should process the bio in rq_qos_done_bio(). Overloading BLK_QUEUE_ENTERED works, but makes the flag rules confusing. BIO_THROTTLED was another candidate, but the flag is set for all bios that have gone through blk-throttle code. Overloading a flag comes with the burden of making sure that when either implementation changes, a change in setting rules for one doesn't cause a bug in the other. So here, we unfortunately opt for adding a new flag.

2018-12-17blk-mq-debugfs: support rq_qosMing Lei1-0/+24
blk-mq-debugfs has been proved as very helpful for debug some tough issues, such as IO hang. We have seen blk-wbt related IO hang several times, even inside Red Hat BZ, there is such report not sovled yet, so this patch adds support debugfs on rq_qos.

2018-12-08block: add rq_qos_wait to rq_qosJosef Bacik1-0/+6
Originally when I split out the common code from blk-wbt into rq_qos I left the wbt_wait() where it was and simply copied and modified it slightly to work for io-latency. However they are both basically the same thing, and as time has gone on wbt_wait() has ended up much smarter and kinder than it was when I copied it into io-latency, which means io-latency has lost out on these improvements. Since they are the same thing essentially except for a few minor things, create rq_qos_wait() that replicates what wbt_wait() currently does with callbacks that can be passed in for the snowflakes to do their own thing as appropriate.

2018-07-22blk-rq-qos: make depth comparisons unsignedJosef Bacik1-1/+1
With the change to use UINT_MAX I broke the depth check as any value of inflight (ie 0) would be less than (int)UINT_MAX. Fix this by changing everything to unsigned int to match the depth. Signed-off-by: Josef Bacik <josef@toxicpanda.com> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@kernel.dk>
2018-07-09rq-qos: introduce dio_bio callbackJosef Bacik1-0/+2
wbt cares only about request completion time, but controllers may need information that is on the bio itself, so add a done_bio callback for rq-qos so things like blk-iolatency can use it to have the bio when it completes.
