2011-10-04perf: Fix counter of ftrace eventsAndrew Vagin
Each event adds some points to its counters. By default it adds 1, and a number of points may be transmited in event's parameters. E.g. sched:sched_stat_runtime adds how long process has been running. But this functionality was broken by v2.6.31-rc5-392-gf413cdb and now the event's parameters doesn't affect on a number of points. TP_perf_assign isn't defined, so __perf_count(c) isn't executed and __count is always equal to 1.

2011-10-03writeback: IO-less balance_dirty_pages()Wu Fengguang
As proposed by Chris, Dave and Jan, don't start foreground writeback IO inside balance_dirty_pages(). Instead, simply let it idle sleep for some time to throttle the dirtying task. In the mean while, kick off the per-bdi flusher thread to do background writeback IO. RATIONALS ========= - disk seeks on concurrent writeback of multiple inodes (Dave Chinner) If every thread doing writes and being throttled start foreground writeback, it leads to N IO submitters from at least N different inodes at the same time, end up with N different sets of IO being issued with potentially zero locality to each other, resulting in much lower elevator sort/merge efficiency and hence we seek the disk all over the place to service the different sets of IO. OTOH, if there is only one submission thread, it doesn't jump between inodes in the same way when congestion clears - it keeps writing to the same inode, resulting in large related chunks of sequential IOs being issued to the disk. This is more efficient than the above foreground writeback because the elevator works better and the disk seeks less. - lock contention and cache bouncing on concurrent IO submitters (Dave Chinner) With this patchset, the fs_mark benchmark on a 12-drive software RAID0 goes from CPU bound to IO bound, freeing "3-4 CPUs worth of spinlock contention". * "CPU usage has dropped by ~55%", "it certainly appears that most of the CPU time saving comes from the removal of contention on the inode_wb_list_lock" (IMHO at least 10% comes from the reduction of cacheline bouncing, because the new code is able to call much less frequently into balance_dirty_pages() and hence access the global page states) * the user space "App overhead" is reduced by 20%, by avoiding the cacheline pollution by the complex writeback code path * "for a ~5% throughput reduction", "the number of write IOs have dropped by ~25%", and the elapsed time reduced from 41:42.17 to 40:53.23. * On a simple test of 100 dd, it reduces the CPU %system time from 30% to 3%, and improves IO throughput from 38MB/s to 42MB/s. - IO size too small for fast arrays and too large for slow USB sticks The write_chunk used by current balance_dirty_pages() cannot be directly set to some large value (eg. 128MB) for better IO efficiency. Because it could lead to more than 1 second user perceivable stalls. Even the current 4MB write size may be too large for slow USB sticks. The fact that balance_dirty_pages() starts IO on itself couples the IO size to wait time, which makes it hard to do suitable IO size while keeping the wait time under control. Now it's possible to increase writeback chunk size proportional to the disk bandwidth. In a simple test of 50 dd's on XFS, 1-HDD, 3GB ram, the larger writeback size dramatically reduces the seek count to 1/10 (far beyond my expectation) and improves the write throughput by 24%. - long block time in balance_dirty_pages() hurts desktop responsiveness Many of us may have the experience: it often takes a couple of seconds or even long time to stop a heavy writing dd/cp/tar command with Ctrl-C or "kill -9". - IO pipeline broken by bumpy write() progress There are a broad class of "loop {read(buf); write(buf);}" applications whose read() pipeline will be under-utilized or even come to a stop if the write()s have long latencies _or_ don't progress in a constant rate. The current threshold based throttling inherently transfers the large low level IO completion fluctuations to bumpy application write()s, and further deteriorates with increasing number of dirtiers and/or bdi's. For example, when doing 50 dd's + 1 remote rsync to an XFS partition, the rsync progresses very bumpy in legacy kernel, and throughput is improved by 67% by this patchset. (plus the larger write chunk size, it will be 93% speedup). The new rate based throttling can support 1000+ dd's with excellent smoothness, low latency and low overheads. For the above reasons, it's much better to do IO-less and low latency pauses in balance_dirty_pages(). Jan Kara, Dave Chinner and me explored the scheme to let balance_dirty_pages() wait for enough writeback IO completions to safeguard the dirty limit. However it's found to have two problems: - in large NUMA systems, the per-cpu counters may have big accounting errors, leading to big throttle wait time and jitters. - NFS may kill large amount of unstable pages with one single COMMIT. Because NFS server serves COMMIT with expensive fsync() IOs, it is desirable to delay and reduce the number of COMMITs. So it's not likely to optimize away such kind of bursty IO completions, and the resulted large (and tiny) stall times in IO completion based throttling. So here is a pause time oriented approach, which tries to control the pause time in each balance_dirty_pages() invocations, by controlling the number of pages dirtied before calling balance_dirty_pages(), for smooth and efficient dirty throttling: - avoid useless (eg. zero pause time) balance_dirty_pages() calls - avoid too small pause time (less than 4ms, which burns CPU power) - avoid too large pause time (more than 200ms, which hurts responsiveness) - avoid big fluctuations of pause times It can control pause times at will. The default policy (in a followup patch) will be to do ~10ms pauses in 1-dd case, and increase to ~100ms in 1000-dd case. BEHAVIOR CHANGE =============== (1) dirty threshold Users will notice that the applications will get throttled once crossing the global (background + dirty)/2=15% threshold, and then balanced around 17.5%. Before patch, the behavior is to just throttle it at 20% dirtyable memory in 1-dd case. Since the task will be soft throttled earlier than before, it may be perceived by end users as performance "slow down" if his application happens to dirty more than 15% dirtyable memory. (2) smoothness/responsiveness Users will notice a more responsive system during heavy writeback. "killall dd" will take effect instantly. Signed-off-by: Wu Fengguang <fengguang.wu@intel.com>

2011-09-21ASoC: Trace and collect statistics for DAPM graph walkingMark Brown
One of the longest standing areas for improvement in ASoC has been the DAPM algorithm - it repeats the same checks many times whenever it is run and makes no effort to limit the areas of the graph it checks meaning we do an awful lot of walks over the full graph. This has never mattered too much as the size of the graph has generally been small in relation to the size of the devices supported and the speed of CPUs but it is annoying. In preparation for work on improving this insert a trace point after the graph walk has been done. This gives us specific timing information for the walk, and in order to give quantifiable (non-benchmark) numbers also count every time we check a link or check the power for a widget and report those numbers. Substantial changes in the algorithm may require tweaks to the stats but they should be useful for simpler things. Signed-off-by: Mark Brown <broonie@opensource.wolfsonmicro.com>

2011-07-09writeback: trace global_dirty_stateWu Fengguang
Add trace event balance_dirty_state for showing the global dirty page counts and thresholds at each global_dirty_limits() invocation. This will cover the callers throttle_vm_writeout(), over_bground_thresh() and each balance_dirty_pages() loop. Signed-off-by: Wu Fengguang <fengguang.wu@intel.com>
2011-07-09writeback: make writeback_control.nr_to_write straightWu Fengguang
Pass struct wb_writeback_work all the way down to writeback_sb_inodes(), and initialize the struct writeback_control there. struct writeback_control is basically designed to control writeback of a single file, but we keep abuse it for writing multiple files in writeback_sb_inodes() and its callers. It immediately clean things up, e.g. suddenly wbc.nr_to_write vs work->nr_pages starts to make sense, and instead of saving and restoring pages_skipped in writeback_sb_inodes it can always start with a clean zero value. It also makes a neat IO pattern change: large dirty files are now written in the full 4MB writeback chunk size, rather than whatever remained quota in wbc->nr_to_write.

2011-06-25jbd: Add fixed tracepointsLukas Czerner
This commit adds fixed tracepoint for jbd. It has been based on fixed tracepoints for jbd2, however there are missing those for collecting statistics, since I think that it will require more intrusive patch so I should have its own commit, if someone decide that it is needed. Also there are new tracepoints in __journal_drop_transaction() and journal_update_superblock(). The list of jbd tracepoints: jbd_checkpoint jbd_start_commit jbd_commit_locking jbd_commit_flushing jbd_commit_logging jbd_drop_transaction jbd_end_commit jbd_do_submit_data jbd_cleanup_journal_tail jbd_update_superblock_end Signed-off-by: Lukas Czerner <lczerner@redhat.com> Cc: Jan Kara <jack@suse.cz> Signed-off-by: Jan Kara <jack@suse.cz>
2011-06-25ext3: Add fixed tracepointsLukas Czerner
This commit adds fixed tracepoints to the ext3 code. It is based on ext4 tracepoints, however due to the differences of both file systems, there are some tracepoints missing (those for delaloc and for multi-block allocator) and there are some ext3 specific as well (for reservation windows). Here is a list: ext3_free_inode ext3_request_inode ext3_allocate_inode ext3_evict_inode ext3_drop_inode ext3_mark_inode_dirty ext3_write_begin ext3_ordered_write_end ext3_writeback_write_end ext3_journalled_write_end ext3_ordered_writepage ext3_writeback_writepage ext3_journalled_writepage ext3_readpage ext3_releasepage ext3_invalidatepage ext3_discard_blocks ext3_request_blocks ext3_allocate_blocks ext3_free_blocks ext3_sync_file_enter ext3_sync_file_exit ext3_sync_fs ext3_rsv_window_add ext3_discard_reservation ext3_alloc_new_reservation ext3_reserved ext3_forget ext3_read_block_bitmap ext3_direct_IO_enter ext3_direct_IO_exit ext3_unlink_enter ext3_unlink_exit ext3_truncate_enter ext3_truncate_exit ext3_get_blocks_enter ext3_get_blocks_exit ext3_load_inode Signed-off-by: Lukas Czerner <lczerner@redhat.com> Cc: Jan Kara <jack@suse.cz> Signed-off-by: Jan Kara <jack@suse.cz>
2011-06-21core: add tracepoints for queueing skb to rcvbufSatoru Moriya
This patch adds 2 tracepoints to get a status of a socket receive queue and related parameter. One tracepoint is added to sock_queue_rcv_skb. It records rcvbuf size and its usage. The other tracepoint is added to __sk_mem_schedule and it records limitations of memory for sockets and current usage. By using these tracepoints we're able to know detailed reason why kernel drop the packet.
