* cfq-iosched: cache prio_tree root in cfqq->p_rootJens Axboe2009-04-241-14/+20
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently we look it up from ->ioprio, but ->ioprio can change if either the process gets its IO priority changed explicitly, or if cfq decides to temporarily boost it. So if we are unlucky, we can end up attempting to remove a node from a different rbtree root than where it was added. Fix this by using ->org_ioprio as the prio_tree index, since that will only change for explicit IO priority settings (not for a boost). Additionally cache the rbtree root inside the cfqq, then we don't have to add code to reinsert the cfqq in the prio_tree if IO priority changes. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com>
* cfq-iosched: fix bug with aliased request and cooperation detectionJens Axboe2009-04-241-5/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | cfq_prio_tree_lookup() should return the direct match, yet it always returns zero. Fix that. cfq_prio_tree_add() assumes that we don't get a direct match, while it is very possible that we do. Using O_DIRECT, you can have different cfqq with matching requests, since you don't have the page cache to serialize things for you. Fix this bug by only adding the cfqq if there isn't an existing match. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com>

* cfq-iosched: use the default seek distance when there aren't enough seek samplesJeff Moyer2009-04-221-5/+6
| | | | | | | | | If the cfq io context doesn't have enough samples yet to provide a mean seek distance, then use the default threshold we have for seeky IO instead of defaulting to 0. Signed-off-by: Jeff Moyer <jmoyer@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com>
* cfq-iosched: make seek_mean converge more quicklyJeff Moyer2009-04-221-1/+3
| | | | | | | | | | Right now, depending on the first sector to which a process issues I/O, the seek time may start out way out of whack.

* cfq-iosched: add close cooperator codeJens Axboe2009-04-151-25/+198
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If we have processes that are working in close proximity to each other on disk, we don't want to idle wait. Instead allow the close process to issue a request, getting better aggregate bandwidth. The anticipatory scheduler has similar checks, noop and deadline do not need it since they don't care about process <-> io mappings. The code for CFQ is a little more involved though, since we split request queues into per-process contexts. This fixes a performance problem with eg dump(8), since it uses several processes in some silly attempt to speed IO up. Even if dump(8) isn't really a valid case (it should be fixed by using CLONE_IO), there are other cases where we see close processes and where idling ends up hurting performance. Credit goes to Jeff Moyer <jmoyer@redhat.com> for writing the initial implementation. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com>

* cfq-iosched: tweak kick logic a bit moreJens Axboe2009-04-151-2/+5
| | | | | | | | | | We only kick the dispatch for an idling queue, if we think it's a (somewhat) fully merged request. Also allow a kick if we have other busy queues in the system, since we don't want to risk waiting for a potential merge in that case. It's better to get some work done and proceed.

* cfq-iosched: don't delay queue kick for a merged requestJens Axboe2009-04-151-2/+9
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | "Zhang, Yanmin" <yanmin_zhang@linux.intel.com> reports that commit b029195dda0129b427c6e579a3bb3ae752da3a93 introduced a regression of about 50% with sequential threaded read workloads. The test case is: tiotest -k0 -k1 -k3 -f 80 -t 32 which starts 32 threads each reading a 80MB file. Twiddle the kick queue logic so that we do start IO immediately, if it appears to be a fully merged request. We can't really detect that, so just check if the request is bigger than a page or not. The assumption is that since single bio issues will first queue a single request with just one page attached and then later do merges on that, if we already have more than a page worth of data in the request, then the request is most likely good to go. Verified that this doesn't cause a regression with the test case that commit b029195dda0129b427c6e579a3bb3ae752da3a93 was fixing. It does not, we still see maximum sized requests for the queue-then-merge cases. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com>

* cfq-iosched: don't let idling interfere with pluggingJens Axboe2009-04-071-8/+17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | When CFQ is waiting for a new request from a process, currently it'll immediately restart queuing when it sees such a request. This doesn't work very well with streamed IO, since we then end up splitting IO that would otherwise have been merged nicely. For a simple dd test, this causes 10x as many requests to be issued as we should have. Normally this goes unnoticed due to the low overhead of requests at the device side, but some hardware is very sensitive to request sizes and there it can cause big slow downs.

* cfq-iosched: change dispatch logic to deal with single requests at the timeJens Axboe2009-04-071-76/+90
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The IO scheduler core calls into the IO scheduler dispatch_request hook to move requests from the IO scheduler and into the driver dispatch list. It only does so when the dispatch list is empty. CFQ moves several requests to the dispatch list, which can cause higher latencies if we suddenly have to switch to some important sync IO. Change the logic to move one request at the time instead. This should almost be functionally equivalent to what we did before, except that we now honor 'quantum' as the maximum queue depth at the device side from any single cfqq. If there's just a single active cfqq, we allow up to 4 times the normal quantum. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com>
* block: Add flag for telling the IO schedulers NOT to anticipate more IOJens Axboe2009-04-061-1/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | By default, CFQ will anticipate more IO from a given io context if the previously completed IO was sync. This used to be fine, since the only sync IO was reads and O_DIRECT writes. But with more "normal" sync writes being used now, we don't want to anticipate for those. Add a bio/request flag that informs the IO scheduler that this is a sync request that we should not idle for. Introduce WRITE_ODIRECT specifically for O_DIRECT writes, and make sure that the other sync writes set this flag.

* cfq-iosched: fix race between exiting queue and exiting taskJens Axboe2008-12-291-1/+9
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Original patch from Nikanth Karthikesan <knikanth@suse.de> When a queue exits the queue lock is taken and cfq_exit_queue() would free all the cic's associated with the queue. But when a task exits, cfq_exit_io_context() gets cic one by one and then locks the associated queue to call __cfq_exit_single_io_context. It looks like between getting a cic from the ioc and locking the queue, the queue might have exited on another cpu. Fix this by rechecking the cfq_io_context queue key inside the queue lock again, and not calling into __cfq_exit_single_io_context() if somebody beat us to it.

* cfq-iosched: remove limit of dispatch depth of max 4 times quantumJens Axboe2008-12-291-6/+2
| | | | | | | | | | This basically limits the hardware queue depth to 4*quantum at any point in time, which is 16 with the default settings. As CFQ uses other means to shrink the hardware queue when necessary in the first place, there's really no need for this extra heuristic. Additionally, it ends up hurting performance in some cases.

* cfq-iosched: fix queue depth detectionAaron Carroll2008-10-091-9/+38
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | CFQ's detection of queueing devices assumes a non-queuing device and detects if the queue depth reaches a certain threshold. Under some workloads (e.g. synchronous reads), CFQ effectively forces a unit queue depth, thus defeating the detection logic. This leads to poor performance on queuing hardware, since the idle window remains enabled. This patch inverts the sense of the logic: assume a queuing-capable device, and detect if the depth does not exceed the threshold.

| | | | | | | | | | | If we have multiple tasks freeing cfq_io_contexts when cfq-iosched is being unloaded, we could complete() ioc_gone twice.

* cfq-iosched: do not leak ioc_data across iosched switchesFabio Checconi2008-04-101-3/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When switching scheduler from cfq, cfq_exit_queue() does not clear ioc->ioc_data, leaving a dangling pointer that can deceive the following lookups when the iosched is switched back to cfq. The pattern that can trigger that is the following: - elevator switch from cfq to something else; - module unloading, with elv_unregister() that calls cfq_free_io_context() on ioc freeing the cic (via the .trim op); - module gets reloaded and the elevator switches back to cfq; - reallocation of a cic at the same address as before (with a valid key). To fix it just assign NULL to ioc_data in __cfq_exit_single_io_context(), that is called from the regular exit path and from the elevator switching code. The only path that frees a cic and is not covered is the error handling one, but cic's freed in this way are never cached in ioc_data.

* cfq-iosched: relax IOPRIO_CLASS_IDLE restrictionsJens Axboe2008-01-281-83/+34
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently you must be root to set idle io prio class on a process. This is due to the fact that the idle class is implemented as a true idle class, meaning that it will not make progress if someone else is requesting disk access. Unfortunately this means that it opens DOS opportunities by locking down file system resources, hence it is root only at the moment. This patch relaxes the idle class a little, by removing the truly idle part (which entals a grace period with associated timer). The modifications make the idle class as close to zero impact as can be done while still guarenteeing progress. This means we can relax the root only criteria as well.

* block: cfq: make the io contect sharing locklessJens Axboe2008-01-281-120/+147
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The io context sharing introduced a per-ioc spinlock, that would protect the cfq io context lookup. That is a regression from the original, since we never needed any locking there because the ioc/cic were process private. The cic lookup is changed from an rbtree construct to a radix tree, which we can then use RCU to make the reader side lockless. That is the performance critical path, modifying the radix tree is only done on process creation (when that process first does IO, actually) and on process exit (if that process has done IO). As it so happens, radix trees are also much faster for this type of lookup where the key is a pointer. It's a very sparse tree. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com>
