2010-05-21block: remove all rcu head initializationsPaul E. McKenney
Remove all rcu head inits. We don't care about the RCU head state before passing it to call_rcu() anyway. Only leave the "on_stack" variants so debugobjects can keep track of objects on stack.

2010-05-11block: allow initialization of previously allocated request_queueMike Snitzer
blk_init_queue() allocates the request_queue structure and then initializes it as needed (request_fn, elevator, etc). Split initialization out to blk_init_allocated_queue_node. Introduce blk_init_allocated_queue wrapper function to model existing blk_init_queue and blk_init_queue_node interfaces. Export elv_register_queue to allow a newly added elevator to be registered with sysfs. Export elv_unregister_queue for symmetry. These changes allow DM to initialize a device's request_queue with more precision. In particular, DM no longer unconditionally initializes a full request_queue (elevator et al). It only does so for a request-based DM device. Signed-off-by: Mike Snitzer <snitzer@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com>

2010-04-26blk-cgroup: config options re-arrangementVivek Goyal
This patch fixes few usability and configurability issues. o All the cgroup based controller options are configurable from "Genral Setup/Control Group Support/" menu. blkio is the only exception. Hence make this option visible in above menu and make it configurable from there to bring it inline with rest of the cgroup based controllers. o Get rid of CONFIG_DEBUG_CFQ_IOSCHED. This option currently does two things. - Enable printing of cgroup paths in blktrace - Enables CONFIG_DEBUG_BLK_CGROUP, which in turn displays additional stat files in cgroup. If we are using group scheduling, blktrace data is of not really much use if cgroup information is not present. To get this data, currently one has to also enable CONFIG_DEBUG_CFQ_IOSCHED, which in turn brings the overhead of all the additional debug stat files which is not desired. Hence, this patch moves printing of cgroup paths under CONFIG_CFQ_GROUP_IOSCHED. This allows us to get rid of CONFIG_DEBUG_CFQ_IOSCHED completely. Now all the debug stat files are controlled only by CONFIG_DEBUG_BLK_CGROUP which can be enabled through config menu.

2010-04-26blkio: Fix another BUG_ON() crash due to cfqq movement across groupsVivek Goyal
o Once in a while, I was hitting a BUG_ON() in blkio code. empty_time was assuming that upon slice expiry, group can't be marked empty already (except forced dispatch). But this assumption is broken if cfqq can move (group_isolation=0) across groups after receiving a request. I think most likely in this case we got a request in a cfqq and accounted the rq in one group, later while adding the cfqq to tree, we moved the queue to a different group which was already marked empty and after dispatch from slice we found group already marked empty and raised alarm. This patch does not error out if group is already marked empty. This can introduce some empty_time stat error only in case of group_isolation=0. This is better than crashing. In case of group_isolation=1 we should still get same stats as before this patch. [ 222.308546] ------------[ cut here ]------------ [ 222.309311] kernel BUG at block/blk-cgroup.c:236!

2010-04-21blkio: Fix blkio crash during rq stat updateVivek Goyal
blkio + cfq was crashing even when two sequential readers were put in two separate cgroups (group_isolation=0). The reason being that cfqq can migrate across groups based on its being sync-noidle or not, it can happen that at request insertion time, cfqq belonged to one cfqg and at request dispatch time, it belonged to root group. In this case request stats per cgroup can go wrong and it also runs into BUG_ON(). This patch implements rq stashing away a cfq group pointer and not relying on cfqq->cfqg pointer alone for rq stat accounting.

2010-04-14block: ensure jiffies wrap is handled correctly in blk_rq_timed_out_timerRichard Kennedy
blk_rq_timed_out_timer() relied on blk_add_timer() never returning a timer value of zero, but commit 7838c15b8dd18e78a523513749e5b54bda07b0cb removed the code that bumped this value when it was zero. Therefore when jiffies is near wrap we could get unlucky & not set the timeout value correctly. This patch uses a flag to indicate that the timeout value was set and so handles jiffies wrap correctly, and it keeps all the logic in one function so should be easier to maintain in the future.

2010-04-13io-controller: Add a new interface "weight_device" for IO-ControllerGui Jianfeng
Currently, IO Controller makes use of blkio.weight to assign weight for all devices. Here a new user interface "blkio.weight_device" is introduced to assign different weights for different devices. blkio.weight becomes the default value for devices which are not configured by "blkio.weight_device" You can use the following format to assigned specific weight for a given device: #echo "major:minor weight" > blkio.weight_device major:minor represents device number. And you can remove weight for a given device as following: #echo "major:minor 0" > blkio.weight_device V1->V2 changes: - use user interface "weight_device" instead of "policy" suggested by Vivek - rename some struct suggested by Vivek - rebase to 2.6-block "for-linus" branch - remove an useless list_empty check pointed out by Li Zefan - some trivial typo fix V2->V3 changes: - Move policy_*_node() functions up to get rid of forward declarations - rename related functions by adding prefix "blkio_" Signed-off-by: Gui Jianfeng <guijianfeng@cn.fujitsu.com> Acked-by: Vivek Goyal <vgoyal@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com>

2010-04-09cfq-iosched: Fix the incorrect timeslice accounting with forced_dispatchDivyesh Shah
When CFQ dispatches requests forcefully due to a barrier or changing iosched, it runs through all cfqq's dispatching requests and then expires each queue. However, it does not activate a cfqq before flushing its IOs resulting in using stale values for computing slice_used. This patch fixes it by calling activate queue before flushing reuqests from each queue. This is useful mostly for barrier requests because when the iosched is changing it really doesnt matter if we have incorrect accounting since we're going to break down all structures anyway. We also now expire the current timeslice before moving on with the dispatch to accurately account slice used for that cfqq.

2010-04-09blkio: Add more debug-only per-cgroup statsDivyesh Shah
1) group_wait_time - This is the amount of time the cgroup had to wait to get a timeslice for one of its queues from when it became busy, i.e., went from 0 to 1 request queued. This is different from the io_wait_time which is the cumulative total of the amount of time spent by each IO in that cgroup waiting in the scheduler queue. This stat is a great way to find out any jobs in the fleet that are being starved or waiting for longer than what is expected (due to an IO controller bug or any other issue). 2) empty_time - This is the amount of time a cgroup spends w/o any pending requests. This stat is useful when a job does not seem to be able to use its assigned disk share by helping check if that is happening due to an IO controller bug or because the job is not submitting enough IOs. 3) idle_time - This is the amount of time spent by the IO scheduler idling for a given cgroup in anticipation of a better request than the exising ones from other queues/cgroups. All these stats are recorded using start and stop events. When reading these stats, we do not add the delta between the current time and the last start time if we're between the start and stop events. We avoid doing this to make sure that these numbers are always monotonically increasing when read. Since we're using sched_clock() which may use the tsc as its source, it may induce some inconsistency (due to tsc resync across cpus) if we included the current delta.

2010-04-09blkio: Add io_queued and avg_queue_size statsDivyesh Shah
These stats are useful for getting a feel for the queue depth of the cgroup, i.e., how filled up its queues are at a given instant and over the existence of the cgroup. This ability is useful when debugging problems in the wild as it helps understand the application's IO pattern w/o having to read through the userspace code (coz its tedious or just not available) or w/o the ability to run blktrace (since you may not have root access and/or not want to disturb performance).

2010-04-09blkio: Add io_merged statDivyesh Shah
This includes both the number of bios merged into requests belonging to this cgroup as well as the number of requests merged together. In the past, we've observed different merging behavior across upstream kernels, some by design some actual bugs. This stat helps a lot in debugging such problems when applications report decreased throughput with a new kernel version. This needed adding an extra elevator function to capture bios being merged as I did not want to pollute elevator code with blkiocg knowledge and hence needed the accounting invocation to come from CFQ.

2010-03-30include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking ↵Tejun Heo
implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being included when building most .c files. percpu.h includes slab.h which in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies. percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed. Prepare for this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those headers directly instead of assuming availability. As this conversion needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is used as the basis of conversion. http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py The script does the followings. * Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that only the necessary includes are there. ie. if only gfp is used, gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h. * When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms to its surrounding. It's put in the include block which contains core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered - alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there doesn't seem to be any matching order. * If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the file. The conversion was done in the following steps. 1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h and ~3000 slab.h inclusions. The script emitted errors for ~400 files. 2. Each error was manually checked. Some didn't need the inclusion, some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or embedding .c file was more appropriate for others. This step added inclusions to around 150 files. 3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits from #2 to make sure no file was left behind. 4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed. e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually. 5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell. Most gfp.h inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros. Each slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as necessary. 6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h. 7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures were fixed. CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq). * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config. * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig * ia64 SMP allmodconfig * s390 SMP allmodconfig * alpha SMP allmodconfig * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig 8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as a separate patch and serve as bisection point. Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step 6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch. If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of the specific arch.

2010-03-25cfq-iosched: Do not merge queues of BE and IDLE classesDivyesh Shah
Even if they are found to be co-operating. The prio_trees do not have any IDLE cfqqs on them. cfq_close_cooperator() is called from cfq_select_queue() and cfq_completed_request(). The latter ensures that the close cooperator code does not get invoked if the current cfqq is of class IDLE but the former doesn't seem to have any such checks. So an IDLE cfqq may get merged with a BE cfqq from the same group which should be avoided.

2010-02-28cfq-iosched: rework seeky detectionCorrado Zoccolo
Current seeky detection is based on average seek lenght. This is suboptimal, since the average will not distinguish between: * a process doing medium sized seeks * a process doing some sequential requests interleaved with larger seeks and even a medium seek can take lot of time, if the requested sector happens to be behind the disk head in the rotation (50% probability). Therefore, we change the seeky queue detection to work as follows: * each request can be classified as sequential if it is very close to the current head position, i.e. it is likely in the disk cache (disks usually read more data than requested, and put it in cache for subsequent reads). Otherwise, the request is classified as seeky. * an history window of the last 32 requests is kept, storing the classification result. * A queue is marked as seeky if more than 1/8 of the last 32 requests were seeky.
