2008-10-09block: as/cfq ssd idle check updateJens Axboe1-2/+4
We really need to know about the hardware tagging support as well, since if the SSD does not do tagging then we still want to idle. Otherwise have the same dependent sync IO vs flooding async IO problem as on rotational media. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com>
2008-10-09block: add queue flag for SSD/non-rotational devicesJens Axboe1-0/+6
We don't want to idle in AS/CFQ if the device doesn't have a seek penalty. So add a QUEUE_FLAG_NONROT to indicate a non-rotational device, low level drivers should set this flag upon discovery of an SSD or similar device type. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com>
2008-10-09cfq-iosched: fix queue depth detectionAaron Carroll1-9/+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.

2008-07-03cfq-iosched: properly protect ioc_gone and ioc countJens Axboe1-3/+15
If we have multiple tasks freeing cfq_io_contexts when cfq-iosched is being unloaded, we could complete() ioc_gone twice. Fix that by protecting ioc_gone complete() and clearing with a spinlock for just that purpose. Doesn't matter from a performance perspective, since it'll only enter that path when ioc_gone != NULL (when cfq-iosched is being rmmod'ed). Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com>
2008-05-28cfq-iosched: fix RCU problem in cfq_cic_lookup()Jens Axboe1-2/+26
cfq_cic_lookup() needs to properly protect ioc->ioc_data before dereferencing it and also exclude updaters of ioc->ioc_data as well.

2008-05-07cfq-iosched: fix RCU race in the cfq io_context destructor handlingJens Axboe1-6/+13
put_io_context() drops the RCU read lock before calling into cfq_dtor(), however we need to hold off freeing there before grabbing and dereferencing the first object on the list. So extend the rcu_read_lock() scope to cover the calling of cfq_dtor(), and optimize cfq_free_io_context() to use a new variant for call_for_each_cic() that assumes the RCU read lock is already held.

2008-04-10cfq-iosched: do not leak ioc_data across iosched switchesFabio Checconi1-3/+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.

It's cumbersome to browse a radix tree from start to finish, especially since we modify keys when a process exits.

2008-01-28cfq-iosched: relax IOPRIO_CLASS_IDLE restrictionsJens Axboe1-83/+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. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com>
2008-01-28block: cfq: make the io contect sharing locklessJens Axboe1-120/+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>

2007-07-20cfq: async queue allocation per priorityVasily Tarasov1-12/+44
If we have two processes with different ioprio_class, but the same ioprio_data, their async requests will fall into the same queue. I guess such behavior is not expected, because it's not right to put real-time requests and best-effort requests in the same queue. The attached patch fixes the problem by introducing additional *cfqq fields on cfqd, pointing to per-(class,priority) async queues. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com>

With the cfq_queue hash removal, we inadvertently got rid of the async queue sharing.

2007-05-07KMEM_CACHE(): simplify slab cache creationChristoph Lameter1-4/+2
This patch provides a new macro KMEM_CACHE(<struct>, <flags>) to simplify slab creation. KMEM_CACHE creates a slab with the name of the struct, with the size of the struct and with the alignment of the struct. Additional slab flags may be specified if necessary. Example struct test_slab { int a,b,c; struct list_head; } __cacheline_aligned_in_smp; test_slab_cache = KMEM_CACHE(test_slab, SLAB_PANIC) will create a new slab named "test_slab" of the size sizeof(struct test_slab) and aligned to the alignment of test slab.

2007-04-30cfq-iosched: get rid of cfqq hashVasily Tarasov1-100/+67
cfq hash is no more necessary. We always can get cfqq from io context. cfq_get_io_context_noalloc() function is introduced, because we don't want to allocate cic on merging and checking may_queue. In order to identify sync queue we've used hash key = CFQ_KEY_ASYNC. Since hash is eliminated we need to use other criterion: sync flag for queue is added. In all places where we dig in rb_tree we're in current context, so no additional locking is required. Advantages of this patch: no additional memory for hash, no seeking in hash, code is cleaner. But it is necessary now to seek cic in per-ioc rbtree, but it is faster: - most processes work only with few devices - most systems have only few block devices - it is a rb-tree Signed-off-by: Vasily Tarasov <vtaras@openvz.org> Changes by me: - Merge into CFQ devel branch - Get rid of cfq_get_io_context_noalloc() - Fix various bugs with dereferencing cic->cfqq[] with offset other than 0 or 1. - Fix bug in cfqq setup, is_sync condition was reversed. - Fix bug where only bio_sync() is used, we need to check for a READ too Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com>

2007-04-30[PATCH] cfq-iosched: speed up rbtree handlingJens Axboe1-14/+48
For cases where the rbtree is mainly used for sorting and min retrieval, a nice speedup of the rbtree code is to maintain a cache of the leftmost node in the tree.

2007-04-30cfq-iosched: rework the whole round-robin list conceptJens Axboe1-238/+123
Drawing on some inspiration from the CFS CPU scheduler design, overhaul the pending cfq_queue concept list management. Currently CFQ uses a doubly linked list per priority level for sorting and service uses. Kill those lists and maintain an rbtree of cfq_queue's, sorted by when to service them. This unfortunately means that the ionice levels aren't as strong anymore, will work on improving those later. We only scale the slice time now, not the number of times we service. This means that latency is better (for all priority levels), but that the distinction between the highest and lower levels aren't as big.

- Implement logic for detecting cooperating processes, so we choose the best available queue whenever possible. - Improve residual slice time accounting. - Remove dead code: we no longer see async requests coming in on sync queues. That part was removed a long time ago. That means that we can also remove the difference between cfq_cfqq_sync() and cfq_cfqq_class_sync(), they are now indentical. And we can kill the on_dispatch array, just make it a counter. - Allow a process to go into the current list, if it hasn't been serviced in this scheduler tick yet. Possible future improvements including caching the cfqq lookup in cfq_close_cooperator(), so we don't have to look it up twice. cfq_get_best_queue() should just use that last decision instead of doing it again.

2007-04-25cfq-iosched: fix alias + front merge bugJens Axboe1-6/+6
There's a really rare and obscure bug in CFQ, that causes a crash in cfq_dispatch_insert() due to rq == NULL. One example of the resulting oops is seen here: http://lkml.org/lkml/2007/4/15/41 Neil correctly diagnosed the situation for how this can happen: if two concurrent requests with the exact same sector number (due to direct IO or aliasing between MD and the raw device access), the alias handling will add the request to the sortlist, but next_rq remains NULL. Read the more complete analysis at: http://lkml.org/lkml/2007/4/25/57 This looks like it requires md to trigger, even though it should potentially be possible to due with O_DIRECT (at least if you edit the kernel and doctor some of the unplug calls). The fix is to move the ->next_rq update to when we add a request to the rbtree. Then we remove the possibility for a request to exist in the rbtree code, but not have ->next_rq correctly updated.
