cgroup: replace cgroup_on_dfl() tests in controllers with cgroup_subsys_on_dfl()

2015-09-18T15:56:28+00:00

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.

blkcg: implement interface for the unified hierarchy

2015-08-18T22:49:35+00:00

blkcg interface grew to be the biggest of all controllers and
unfortunately most inconsistent too.  The interface files are
inconsistent with a number of cloes duplicates.  Some files have
recursive variants while others don't.  There's distinction between
normal and leaf weights which isn't intuitive and there are a lot of
stat knobs which don't make much sense outside of debugging and expose
too much implementation details to userland.

In the unified hierarchy, everything is always hierarchical and
internal nodes can't have tasks rendering the two structural issues
twisting the current interface.  The interface has to be updated in a
significant anyway and this is a good chance to revamp it as a whole.
This patch implements blkcg interface for the unified hierarchy.

* (from a previous patch) blkcg is identified by "io" instead of
  "blkio" on the unified hierarchy.  Given that the whole interface is
  updated anyway, the rename shouldn't carry noticeable conversion
  overhead.

* The original interface consisted of 27 files is replaced with the
  following three files.

  blkio.stat	: per-blkcg stats
  blkio.weight	: per-cgroup and per-cgroup-queue weight settings
  blkio.max	: per-cgroup-queue bps and iops max limits

Documentation/cgroups/unified-hierarchy.txt updated accordingly.

v2: blkcg_policy->dfl_cftypes wasn't removed on
    blkcg_policy_unregister() corrupting the cftypes list.  Fixed.

blkcg: separate out tg_conf_updated() from tg_set_conf()

2015-08-18T22:49:18+00:00

tg_set_conf() is largely consisted of parsing and setting the new
config and the follow-up application and propagation.  This patch
separates out the latter part into tg_conf_updated().  This will be
used to implement interface for the unified hierarchy.

blkcg: move body parsing from blkg_conf_prep() to its callers

2015-08-18T22:49:18+00:00

Currently, blkg_conf_prep() expects input to be of the following form

 MAJ:MIN NUM

and reads the NUM part into blkg_conf_ctx->v.  This is quite
restrictive and gets in the way in implementing blkcg interface for
the unified hierarchy.  This patch updates blkg_conf_prep() so that it
expects

 MAJ:MIN BODY_STR

where BODY_STR is an arbitrary string.  blkg_conf_ctx->v is replaced
with ->body which is a char pointer pointing to the start of BODY_STR.
Parsing of the body is moved to blkg_conf_prep()'s callers.

To allow using, for example, strsep() on blkg_conf_ctx->val, it is a
non-const pointer and to accommodate that const is dropped from @input
too.

This doesn't cause any behavior changes.

blkcg: mark existing cftypes as legacy

2015-08-18T22:49:18+00:00

blkcg is about to grow interface for the unified hierarchy.  Add
legacy to existing cftypes.

* blkcg_policy->cftypes -> blkcg_policy->legacy_cftypes
* blk-cgroup.c:blkcg_files -> blkcg_legacy_files
* cfq-iosched.c:cfq_blkcg_files -> cfq_blkcg_legacy_files
* blk-throttle.c:throtl_files -> throtl_legacy_files

Pure renames.  No functional change.

blkcg: move io_service_bytes and io_serviced stats into blkcg_gq

2015-08-18T22:49:17+00:00

Currently, both cfq-iosched and blk-throttle keep track of
io_service_bytes and io_serviced stats.  While keeping track of them
separately may be useful during development, it doesn't make much
sense otherwise.  Also, blk-throttle was counting bio's as IOs while
cfq-iosched request's, which is more confusing than informative.

This patch adds ->stat_bytes and ->stat_ios to blkg (blkcg_gq),
removes the counterparts from cfq-iosched and blk-throttle and let
them print from the common blkg counters.  The common counters are
incremented during bio issue in blkcg_bio_issue_check().

The outputs are still filtered by whether the policy has
blkg_policy_data on a given blkg, so cfq's output won't show up if it
has never been used for a given blkg.  The only times when the outputs
would differ significantly are when policies are attached on the fly
or elevators are switched back and forth.  Those are quite exceptional
operations and I don't think they warrant keeping separate counters.

v3: Update blkio-controller.txt accordingly.

v2: Account IOs during bio issues instead of request completions so
    that bio-based drivers can be handled the same way.

blkcg: make blkcg_[rw]stat per-cpu

2015-08-18T22:49:17+00:00

blkcg_[rw]stat are used as stat counters for blkcg policies.  It isn't
per-cpu by itself and blk-throttle makes it per-cpu by wrapping around
it.  This patch makes blkcg_[rw]stat per-cpu and drop the ad-hoc
per-cpu wrapping in blk-throttle.

* blkg_[rw]stat->cnt is replaced with cpu_cnt which is struct
  percpu_counter.  This makes syncp unnecessary as remote accesses are
  handled by percpu_counter itself.

* blkg_[rw]stat_init() can now fail due to percpu allocation failure
  and thus are updated to return int.

* percpu_counters need explicit freeing.  blkg_[rw]stat_exit() added.

* As blkg_rwstat->cpu_cnt[] can't be read directly anymore, reading
  and summing results are stored in ->aux_cnt[] instead.

* Custom per-cpu stat implementation in blk-throttle is removed.

This makes all blkcg stat counters per-cpu without complicating policy
implmentations.

blkcg: consolidate blkg creation in blkcg_bio_issue_check()

2015-08-18T22:49:17+00:00

blkg (blkcg_gq) currently is created by blkcg policies invoking
blkg_lookup_create() which ends up repeating about the same code in
different policies.  Theoretically, this can avoid the overhead of
looking and/or creating blkg's if blkcg is enabled but no policy is in
use; however, the cost of blkg lookup / creation is very low
especially if only the root blkcg is in use which is highly likely if
no blkcg policy is in active use - it boils down to a single very
predictable conditional and surrounding RCU protection.

This patch consolidates blkg creation to a new function
blkcg_bio_issue_check() which is called during bio issue from
generic_make_request_checks().  blkcg_bio_issue_check() is now the
only function which tries to create missing blkg's.  The subsequent
policy and request_list operations just perform blkg_lookup() and if
missing falls back to the root.

* blk_get_rl() no longer tries to create blkg.  It uses blkg_lookup()
  instead of blkg_lookup_create().

* blk_throtl_bio() is now called from blkcg_bio_issue_check() with rcu
  read locked and blkg already looked up.  Both throtl_lookup_tg() and
  throtl_lookup_create_tg() are dropped.

* cfq is similarly updated.  cfq_lookup_create_cfqg() is replaced with
  cfq_lookup_cfqg()which uses blkg_lookup().

This consolidates blkg handling and avoids unnecessary blkg creation
retries under memory pressure.  In addition, this provides a common
bio entry point into blkcg where things like common accounting can be
performed.

v2: Build fixes for !CONFIG_CFQ_GROUP_IOSCHED and
    !CONFIG_BLK_DEV_THROTTLING.

blk-throttle: improve queue bypass handling

2015-08-18T22:49:17+00:00

If a queue is bypassing, all blkcg policies should become noops but
blk-throttle wasn't.  It only became noop if the queue was dying.
While this wouldn't lead to an oops as falling back to the root blkg
is safe in this case, this can be a bit surprising - a bypassing queue
could still be applying throttle limits.

Fix it by removing blk_queue_dying() test in throtl_lookup_create_tg()
and testing blk_queue_bypass() in blk_throtl_bio() and bypassing
before doing anything else.

blkcg: move root blkg lookup optimization from throtl_lookup_tg() to __blkg_lookup()

2015-08-18T22:49:17+00:00

Currently, both throttle and cfq policies implement their own root
blkg (blkcg_gq) lookup fast path.  This patch moves root blkg
optimization from throtl_lookup_tg() to __blkg_lookup().  cfq-iosched
currently doesn't use blkg_lookup() but will be converted and drop the
optimization too.
