blkcg: move io_service_bytes and io_serviced stats into blkcg_gq

2015-08-18T22:49:17Z

Currently, both cfq-iosched and blk-throttle keep track of io_service_bytes and io_serviced stats. While keeping track of them separately may be useful during development, it doesn't make much sense otherwise. Also, blk-throttle was counting bio's as IOs while cfq-iosched request's, which is more confusing than informative. This patch adds ->stat_bytes and ->stat_ios to blkg (blkcg_gq), removes the counterparts from cfq-iosched and blk-throttle and let them print from the common blkg counters. The common counters are incremented during bio issue in blkcg_bio_issue_check(). The outputs are still filtered by whether the policy has blkg_policy_data on a given blkg, so cfq's output won't show up if it has never been used for a given blkg. The only times when the outputs would differ significantly are when policies are attached on the fly or elevators are switched back and forth. Those are quite exceptional operations and I don't think they warrant keeping separate counters. v3: Update blkio-controller.txt accordingly. v2: Account IOs during bio issues instead of request completions so that bio-based drivers can be handled the same way.

blk-throttle: implement proper hierarchy support

2013-05-14T20:52:38Z

With the recent updates, blk-throttle is finally ready for proper hierarchy support. Dispatching now honors service_queue->parent_sq and propagates correctly. The only thing missing is setting ->parent_sq correctly so that throtl_grp hierarchy matches the cgroup hierarchy. This patch updates throtl_pd_init() such that service_queues form the same hierarchy as the cgroup hierarchy if sane_behavior is enabled. As this concludes proper hierarchy support for blkcg, the shameful .broken_hierarchy tag is removed from blkio_subsys. v2: Updated blkio-controller.txt as suggested by Vivek.

Merge branch 'for-3.9/core' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux-block

2013-02-28T20:52:24Z

Pull block IO core bits from Jens Axboe: "Below are the core block IO bits for 3.9. It was delayed a few days since my workstation kept crashing every 2-8h after pulling it into current -git, but turns out it is a bug in the new pstate code (divide by zero, will report separately). In any case, it contains: - The big cfq/blkcg update from Tejun and and Vivek. - Additional block and writeback tracepoints from Tejun. - Improvement of the should sort (based on queues) logic in the plug flushing. - _io() variants of the wait_for_completion() interface, using io_schedule() instead of schedule() to contribute to io wait properly. - Various little fixes. You'll get two trivial merge conflicts, which should be easy enough to fix up" Fix up the trivial conflicts due to hlist traversal cleanups (commit b67bfe0d42ca: "hlist: drop the node parameter from iterators"). * 'for-3.9/core' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux-block: (39 commits) block: remove redundant check to bd_openers() block: use i_size_write() in bd_set_size() cfq: fix lock imbalance with failed allocations drivers/block/swim3.c: fix null pointer dereference block: don't select PERCPU_RWSEM block: account iowait time when waiting for completion of IO request sched: add wait_for_completion_io[_timeout] writeback: add more tracepoints block: add block_{touch|dirty}_buffer tracepoint buffer: make touch_buffer() an exported function block: add @req to bio_{front|back}_merge tracepoints block: add missing block_bio_complete() tracepoint block: Remove should_sort judgement when flush blk_plug block,elevator: use new hashtable implementation cfq-iosched: add hierarchical cfq_group statistics cfq-iosched: collect stats from dead cfqgs cfq-iosched: separate out cfqg_stats_reset() from cfq_pd_reset_stats() blkcg: make blkcg_print_blkgs() grab q locks instead of blkcg lock block: RCU free request_queue blkcg: implement blkg_[rw]stat_recursive_sum() and blkg_[rw]stat_merge() ...

cfq-iosched: enable full blkcg hierarchy support

2013-01-09T16:05:11Z

With the previous two patches, all cfqg scheduling decisions are based on vfraction and ready for hierarchy support. The only thing which keeps the behavior flat is cfqg_flat_parent() which makes vfraction calculation consider all non-root cfqgs children of the root cfqg. Replace it with cfqg_parent() which returns the real parent. This enables full blkcg hierarchy support for cfq-iosched. For example, consider the following hierarchy. root / \ A:500 B:250 / \ AA:500 AB:1000 For simplicity, let's say all the leaf nodes have active tasks and are on service tree. For each leaf node, vfraction would be AA: (500 / 1500) * (500 / 750) =~ 0.2222 AB: (1000 / 1500) * (500 / 750) =~ 0.4444 B: (250 / 750) =~ 0.3333 and vdisktime will be distributed accordingly. For more detail, please refer to Documentation/block/cfq-iosched.txt. v2: cfq-iosched.txt updated to describe group scheduling as suggested by Vivek. v3: blkio-controller.txt updated.
