From 5757a6d76cdf6dda2a492c09b985c015e86779b1 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Dan Williams Date: Sat, 23 Jul 2011 20:44:25 +0200 Subject: block: strict rq_affinity Some systems benefit from completions always being steered to the strict requester cpu rather than the looser "per-socket" steering that blk_cpu_to_group() attempts by default. This is because the first CPU in the group mask ends up being completely overloaded with work, while the others (including the original submitter) has power left to spare. Allow the strict mode to be set by writing '2' to the sysfs control file. This is identical to the scheme used for the nomerges file, where '2' is a more aggressive setting than just being turned on. echo 2 > /sys/block//queue/rq_affinity Cc: Christoph Hellwig Cc: Roland Dreier Tested-by: Dave Jiang Signed-off-by: Dan Williams Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe --- block/blk-sysfs.c | 13 +++++++++---- 1 file changed, 9 insertions(+), 4 deletions(-) (limited to 'block/blk-sysfs.c') diff --git a/block/blk-sysfs.c b/block/blk-sysfs.c index d935bd859c87..0ee17b5e7fb6 100644 --- a/block/blk-sysfs.c +++ b/block/blk-sysfs.c @@ -244,8 +244,9 @@ static ssize_t queue_nomerges_store(struct request_queue *q, const char *page, static ssize_t queue_rq_affinity_show(struct request_queue *q, char *page) { bool set = test_bit(QUEUE_FLAG_SAME_COMP, &q->queue_flags); + bool force = test_bit(QUEUE_FLAG_SAME_FORCE, &q->queue_flags); - return queue_var_show(set, page); + return queue_var_show(set << force, page); } static ssize_t @@ -257,10 +258,14 @@ queue_rq_affinity_store(struct request_queue *q, const char *page, size_t count) ret = queue_var_store(&val, page, count); spin_lock_irq(q->queue_lock); - if (val) + if (val) { queue_flag_set(QUEUE_FLAG_SAME_COMP, q); - else - queue_flag_clear(QUEUE_FLAG_SAME_COMP, q); + if (val == 2) + queue_flag_set(QUEUE_FLAG_SAME_FORCE, q); + } else { + queue_flag_clear(QUEUE_FLAG_SAME_COMP, q); + queue_flag_clear(QUEUE_FLAG_SAME_FORCE, q); + } spin_unlock_irq(q->queue_lock); #endif return ret; -- cgit v1.2.1
