blk-throttle: Extend slice if throttle group is not empty

2016-09-19T21:12:41+00:00

Right now, if slice is expired, we start a new slice. If a bio is
queued, we keep on extending slice by throtle_slice interval (100ms).

This worked well as long as pending timer function got executed with-in
few milli seconds of scheduled time. But looks like with recent changes
in timer subsystem, slack can be much longer depending on the expiry time
of the scheduled timer.

commit 500462a9de65 ("timers: Switch to a non-cascading wheel")

This means, by the time timer function gets executed, it is possible the
delay from scheduled time is more than 100ms. That means current code
will conclude that existing slice has expired and a new one needs to
be started. New slice will be 100ms by default and that will not be
sufficient to meet rate requirement of group given the bio size and
bio will not be dispatched and we will start a new timer function to
wait. And when that timer expires, same process will repeat and we
will wait again and this can easily be an infinite loop.

Solve this issue by starting a new slice only if throttle gropup is
empty. If it is not empty, that means there should be an active slice
going on. Ideally it should not be expired but given the slack, it is
possible that it has expired.

block: rename bio bi_rw to bi_opf

2016-08-07T20:41:02+00:00

Since commit 63a4cc24867d, bio->bi_rw contains flags in the lower
portion and the op code in the higher portions. This means that
old code that relies on manually setting bi_rw is most likely
going to be broken. Instead of letting that brokeness linger,
rename the member, to force old and out-of-tree code to break
at compile time instead of at runtime.

No intended functional changes in this commit.

blkcg: kill unused field nr_undestroyed_grps

2016-08-04T20:19:16+00:00

'nr_undestroyed_grps' in struct throtl_data was used to count
the number of throtl_grp related with throtl_data, but now
throtl_grp is tracked by blkcg_gq, so it is useless anymore.

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.
