* cfq-iosched: add close cooperator codeJens Axboe2009-04-151-25/+198
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If we have processes that are working in close proximity to each other on disk, we don't want to idle wait. Instead allow the close process to issue a request, getting better aggregate bandwidth. The anticipatory scheduler has similar checks, noop and deadline do not need it since they don't care about process <-> io mappings. The code for CFQ is a little more involved though, since we split request queues into per-process contexts. This fixes a performance problem with eg dump(8), since it uses several processes in some silly attempt to speed IO up. Even if dump(8) isn't really a valid case (it should be fixed by using CLONE_IO), there are other cases where we see close processes and where idling ends up hurting performance. Credit goes to Jeff Moyer <jmoyer@redhat.com> for writing the initial implementation. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com>

* cfq-iosched: tweak kick logic a bit moreJens Axboe2009-04-151-2/+5
| | | | | | | | | | We only kick the dispatch for an idling queue, if we think it's a (somewhat) fully merged request. Also allow a kick if we have other busy queues in the system, since we don't want to risk waiting for a potential merge in that case. It's better to get some work done and proceed.

* cfq-iosched: don't delay queue kick for a merged requestJens Axboe2009-04-151-2/+9
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | "Zhang, Yanmin" <yanmin_zhang@linux.intel.com> reports that commit b029195dda0129b427c6e579a3bb3ae752da3a93 introduced a regression of about 50% with sequential threaded read workloads. The test case is: tiotest -k0 -k1 -k3 -f 80 -t 32 which starts 32 threads each reading a 80MB file. Twiddle the kick queue logic so that we do start IO immediately, if it appears to be a fully merged request. We can't really detect that, so just check if the request is bigger than a page or not. The assumption is that since single bio issues will first queue a single request with just one page attached and then later do merges on that, if we already have more than a page worth of data in the request, then the request is most likely good to go. Verified that this doesn't cause a regression with the test case that commit b029195dda0129b427c6e579a3bb3ae752da3a93 was fixing. It does not, we still see maximum sized requests for the queue-then-merge cases. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com>

| * | cfq-iosched: don't let idling interfere with pluggingJens Axboe2009-04-071-8/+17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When CFQ is waiting for a new request from a process, currently it'll immediately restart queuing when it sees such a request. This doesn't work very well with streamed IO, since we then end up splitting IO that would otherwise have been merged nicely. For a simple dd test, this causes 10x as many requests to be issued as we should have. Normally this goes unnoticed due to the low overhead of requests at the device side, but some hardware is very sensitive to request sizes and there it can cause big slow downs.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The request inherits the unplug flag from the bio, but it isn't actually used.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The IO scheduler core calls into the IO scheduler dispatch_request hook to move requests from the IO scheduler and into the driver dispatch list. It only does so when the dispatch list is empty. CFQ moves several requests to the dispatch list, which can cause higher latencies if we suddenly have to switch to some important sync IO. Change the logic to move one request at the time instead. This should almost be functionally equivalent to what we did before, except that we now honor 'quantum' as the maximum queue depth at the device side from any single cfqq. If there's just a single active cfqq, we allow up to 4 times the normal quantum. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com>

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | By default, CFQ will anticipate more IO from a given io context if the previously completed IO was sync. This used to be fine, since the only sync IO was reads and O_DIRECT writes. But with more "normal" sync writes being used now, we don't want to anticipate for those. Add a bio/request flag that informs the IO scheduler that this is a sync request that we should not idle for. Introduce WRITE_ODIRECT specifically for O_DIRECT writes, and make sure that the other sync writes set this flag.

Configuration is done thru sysfs, adding a "trace" directory to the partition directory where blktrace can be enabled for the associated request_queue. The same filters present in the IOCTL interface are present as sysfs device attributes. The /sys/block/sdX/sdXN/trace/enable file allows tracing without any filters. The other files in this directory: pid, act_mask, start_lba and end_lba can be used with the same meaning as with the IOCTL interface. Using the sysfs interface will only setup the request_queue->blk_trace fields, tracing will only take place when the "blk" tracer is selected via the ftrace interface, as in the following example: To see the trace, one can use the /d/tracing/trace file or the /d/tracign/trace_pipe file, with semantics defined in the ftrace documentation in Documentation/ftrace.txt.
