block: Allow t10-pi to be modular

2020-01-07T03:59:04Z

Currently t10-pi can only be built into the block layer which via crc-t10dif pulls in a whole chunk of the Crypto API. In fact all users of t10-pi work as modules and there is no reason for it to always be built-in. This patch adds a new hidden option for t10-pi that is selected automatically based on BLK_DEV_INTEGRITY and whether the users of t10-pi are built-in or not.

compat_ioctl: block: move blkdev_compat_ioctl() into ioctl.c

2020-01-03T08:42:52Z

Having both in the same file allows a number of simplifications to the compat path, and makes it more likely that changes to the native path get applied to the compat version as well. Reviewed-by: Ben Hutchings Signed-off-by: Arnd Bergmann

blkcg: implement blk-iocost

2019-08-29T03:17:12Z

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.

block: Move power management code into a new source file

2018-09-26T21:11:28Z

Move the code for runtime power management from blk-core.c into the new source file blk-pm.c. Move the corresponding declarations from into . For CONFIG_PM=n, leave out the declarations of the functions that are not used in that mode. This patch not only reduces the number of #ifdefs in the block layer core code but also reduces the size of header file and hence should help to reduce the build time of the Linux kernel if CONFIG_PM is not defined.

block: introduce blk-iolatency io controller

2018-07-09T15:07:54Z

Current IO controllers for the block layer are less than ideal for our use case. The io.max controller is great at hard limiting, but it is not work conserving. This patch introduces io.latency. You provide a latency target for your group and we monitor the io in short windows to make sure we are not exceeding those latency targets. This makes use of the rq-qos infrastructure and works much like the wbt stuff. There are a few differences from wbt - It's bio based, so the latency covers the whole block layer in addition to the actual io. - We will throttle all IO types that comes in here if we need to. - We use the mean latency over the 100ms window. This is because writes can be particularly fast, which could give us a false sense of the impact of other workloads on our protected workload. - By default there's no throttling, we set the queue_depth to INT_MAX so that we can have as many outstanding bio's as we're allowed to. Only at throttle time do we pay attention to the actual queue depth. - We backcharge cgroups for root cg issued IO and induce artificial delays in order to deal with cases like metadata only or swap heavy workloads. In testing this has worked out relatively well. Protected workloads will throttle noisy workloads down to 1 io at time if they are doing normal IO on their own, or induce up to a 1 second delay per syscall if they are doing a lot of root issued IO (metadata/swap IO). Our testing has revolved mostly around our production web servers where we have hhvm (the web server application) in a protected group and everything else in another group. We see slightly higher requests per second (RPS) on the test tier vs the control tier, and much more stable RPS across all machines in the test tier vs the control tier. Another test we run is a slow memory allocator in the unprotected group. Before this would eventually push us into swap and cause the whole box to die and not recover at all. With these patches we see slight RPS drops (usually 10-15%) before the memory consumer is properly killed and things recover within seconds.
