2019-09-26iocost: bump up default latency targets for hard disksTejun Heo
The default hard disk param sets latency targets at 50ms. As the default target percentiles are zero, these don't directly regulate vrate; however, they're still used to calculate the period length - 100ms in this case. This is excessively low. A SATA drive with QD32 saturated with random IOs can easily reach avg completion latency of several hundred msecs. A period duration which is substantially lower than avg completion latency can lead to wildly fluctuating vrate. Let's bump up the default latency targets to 250ms so that the period duration is sufficiently long. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@kernel.dk>
2019-09-26iocost: improve nr_lagging handlingTejun Heo
Some IOs may span multiple periods. As latencies are collected on completion, the inbetween periods won't register them and may incorrectly decide to increase vrate. nr_lagging tracks these IOs to avoid those situations. Currently, whenever there are IOs which are spanning from the previous period, busy_level is reset to 0 if negative thus suppressing vrate increase. This has the following two problems. * When latency target percentiles aren't set, vrate adjustment should only be governed by queue depth depletion; however, the current code keeps nr_lagging active which pulls in latency results and can keep down vrate unexpectedly. * When lagging condition is detected, it resets the entire negative busy_level. This turned out to be way too aggressive on some devices which sometimes experience extended latencies on a small subset of commands. In addition, a lagging IO will be accounted as latency target miss on completion anyway and resetting busy_level amplifies its impact unnecessarily. This patch fixes the above two problems by disabling nr_lagging counting when latency target percentiles aren't set and blocking vrate increases when there are lagging IOs while leaving busy_level as-is.

2019-09-26iocost: better trace vrate changesTejun Heo
vrate_adj tracepoint traces vrate changes; however, it does so only when busy_level is non-zero. busy_level turning to zero can sometimes be as interesting an event. This patch also enables vrate_adj tracepoint on other vrate related events - busy_level changes and non-zero nr_lagging.

2019-09-10blk-iocost: Don't let merges push vtime into the futureTejun Heo
Merges have the same problem that forced-bios had which is fixed by the previous patch. The cost of a merge is calculated at the time of issue and force-advances vtime into the future. Until global vtime catches up, how the cgroup's hweight changes in the meantime doesn't matter and it often leads to situations where the cost is calculated at one hweight and paid at a very different one. See the previous patch for more details. Fix it by never advancing vtime into the future for merges. If budget is available, vtime is advanced. Otherwise, the cost is charged as debt. This brings merge cost handling in line with issue cost handling in ioc_rqos_throttle(). Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@kernel.dk>
2019-09-10blk-iocost: Account force-charged overage in absolute vtimeTejun Heo
Currently, when a bio needs to be force-charged and there isn't enough budget, vtime is simply pushed into the future. This means that the cost of the whole bio is scaled using the current hweight and then charged immediately. Until the global vtime advances beyond this future vtime, the cgroup won't be allowed to issue normal IOs. This is incorrect and can lead to, for example, exploding vrate or extended stalls if vrate range is constrained. Consider the following scenario. 1. A cgroup with a very low hweight runs out of budget. 2. A storm of swap-out happens on it. All of them are scaled according to the current low hweight and charged to vtime pushing it to a far future. 3. All other cgroups go idle and now the above cgroup has access to the whole device. However, because vtime is already wound using the past low hweight, what its current hweight is doesn't matter until global vtime catches up to the local vtime. 4. As a result, either vrate gets ramped up extremely or the IOs stall while the underlying device is idle. This is because the hweight the overage is calculated at is different from the hweight that it's being paid at. Fix it by remembering the overage in absoulte vtime and continuously paying with the actual budget according to the current hweight at each period. Note that non-forced bios which wait already remembers the cost in absolute vtime. This brings forced-bio accounting in line.

2019-09-10blk-iocost: Fix incorrect operation order during iocg freeTejun Heo
ioc_pd_free() first cancels the hrtimers and then deactivates the iocg. However, the iocg timer can run inbetween and reschedule the hrtimers which will end up running after the iocg is freed leading to crashes like the following. general protection fault: 0000 [#1] SMP ...

2019-08-28blkcg: implement blk-iocostTejun Heo
This patchset implements IO cost model based work-conserving proportional controller. While io.latency provides the capability to comprehensively prioritize and protect IOs depending on the cgroups, its protection is binary - the lowest latency target cgroup which is suffering is protected at the cost of all others. In many use cases including stacking multiple workload containers in a single system, it's necessary to distribute IO capacity with better granularity. One challenge of controlling IO resources is the lack of trivially observable cost metric. The most common metrics - bandwidth and iops - can be off by orders of magnitude depending on the device type and IO pattern. However, the cost isn't a complete mystery. Given several key attributes, we can make fairly reliable predictions on how expensive a given stream of IOs would be, at least compared to other IO patterns. The function which determines the cost of a given IO is the IO cost model for the device. This controller distributes IO capacity based on the costs estimated by such model. The more accurate the cost model the better but the controller adapts based on IO completion latency and as long as the relative costs across differents IO patterns are consistent and sensible, it'll adapt to the actual performance of the device. Currently, the only implemented cost model is a simple linear one with a few sets of default parameters for different classes of device. This covers most common devices reasonably well. All the infrastructure to tune and add different cost models is already in place and a later patch will also allow using bpf progs for cost models. Please see the top comment in blk-iocost.c and documentation for more details. v2: Rebased on top of RQ_ALLOC_TIME changes and folded in Rik's fix for a divide-by-zero bug in current_hweight() triggered by zero inuse_sum.
