In below scenario blkio cgroup does not work as per their assigned
weights :-
1. When the underlying device is nonrotational with a single HW queue
with depth of > 5
2. When the use case is forming two blkio cgroups cg1(weight 1000) &
cg2(wight 100) and two processes(file1 and file2) doing sync IO in
their respective blkio cgroups.
For above usecase result of fio (without this patch):-
file1: (groupid=0, jobs=1): err= 0: pid=685: Thu Jan 1 19:41:49 1970
write: IOPS=1315, BW=41.1MiB/s (43.1MB/s)(1024MiB/24906msec)

write: IOPS=1295, BW=40.5MiB/s (42.5MB/s)(1024MiB/25293msec)
<...>
// both the process BW is equal even though they belong to different
cgroups with weight of 1000(cg1) and 100(cg2)
In above case as soon as the request from cg1 is completed and even
though it is provided with higher slice_idle=10, because of CFQ
algorithm when the driver tries to fetch the request, CFQ expires
this group without providing any idle time nor weight priority
and schedules another cfq group (in this case cg2).
And thus both cfq groups(cg1 & cg2) keep alternating to get the
disk time and hence loses the cgroup weight based scheduling.
Below patch gives a chance to cfq algorithm (cfq_arm_slice_timer)
to arm the slice timer in case group_idle is enabled.

commit e00f4f4d0ff7e13b9115428a245b49108d625f09 upstream.
blkcg allocates some per-cgroup data structures with GFP_NOWAIT and
when that fails falls back to operations which aren't specific to the
cgroup. Occassional failures are expected under pressure and falling
back to non-cgroup operation is the right thing to do.
Unfortunately, I forgot to add __GFP_NOWARN to these allocations and
these expected failures end up creating a lot of noise. Add
__GFP_NOWARN.

commit b3193bc0dca9bb69c8ba1ec1a318105c76eb4172 upstream.
In below scenario blkio cgroup does not work as per their assigned
weights :-
1. When the underlying device is nonrotational with a single HW queue
with depth of >= CFQ_HW_QUEUE_MIN
2. When the use case is forming two blkio cgroups cg1(weight 1000) &
cg2(wight 100) and two processes(file1 and file2) doing sync IO in
their respective blkio cgroups.

cgroups with weight of 1000(cg1) and 100(cg2)
In above case (for non rotational NCQ devices),
as soon as the request from cg1 is completed and even
though it is provided with higher set_slice=10, because of CFQ
algorithm when the driver tries to fetch the request, CFQ expires
this group without providing any idle time nor weight priority
and schedules another cfq group (in this case cg2).
And thus both cfq groups(cg1 & cg2) keep alternating to get the
disk time and hence loses the cgroup weight based scheduling.
Below patch gives a chance to cfq algorithm (cfq_arm_slice_timer)
to arm the slice timer in case group_idle is enabled.
In case if group_idle is also not required (including for nonrotational
NCQ drives), we need to explicitly set group_idle = 0 from sysfs for
such cases.

commit ebc4ff661fbe76781c6b16dfb7b754a5d5073f8e upstream.
cfq_cpd_alloc() which is the cpd_alloc_fn implementation for cfq was
incorrectly hard coding GFP_KERNEL instead of using the mask specified
through the @gfp parameter. This currently doesn't cause any actual
issues because all current callers specify GFP_KERNEL. Fix it.

commit 3932a86b4b9d1f0b049d64d4591ce58ad18b44ec upstream.
While debugging timeouts happening in my application workload (ScyllaDB), I have
observed calls to open() taking a long time, ranging everywhere from 2 seconds -
the first ones that are enough to time out my application - to more than 30
seconds.
The problem seems to happen because XFS may block on pending metadata updates
under certain circumnstances, and that's confirmed with the following backtrace
taken by the offcputime tool (iovisor/bcc):
ffffffffb90c57b1 finish_task_switch

Inspecting my run with blktrace, I can see that the xfsaild kthread exhibit very
high "Dispatch wait" times, on the dozens of seconds range and consistent with
the open() times I have saw in that run.
Still from the blktrace output, we can after searching a bit, identify the
request that wasn't dispatched:
8,0 11 152 81.092472813 804 A WM 141698288 + 8 <- (8,1) 141696240
8,0 11 153 81.092472889 804 Q WM 141698288 + 8 [xfsaild/sda1]
8,0 11 154 81.092473207 804 G WM 141698288 + 8 [xfsaild/sda1]
8,0 11 206 81.092496118 804 I WM 141698288 + 8 ( 22911) [xfsaild/sda1]
<==== 'I' means Inserted (into the IO scheduler) ===================================>
8,0 0 289372 96.718761435 0 D WM 141698288 + 8 (15626265317) [swapper/0]
<==== Only 15s later the CFQ scheduler dispatches the request ======================>
As we can see above, in this particular example CFQ took 15 seconds to dispatch
this request. Going back to the full trace, we can see that the xfsaild queue
had plenty of opportunity to run, and it was selected as the active queue many
times. It would just always be preempted by something else (example):
8,0 1 0 81.117912979 0 m N cfq1618SN / insert_request
8,0 1 0 81.117913419 0 m N cfq1618SN / add_to_rr
8,0 1 0 81.117914044 0 m N cfq1618SN / preempt
8,0 1 0 81.117914398 0 m N cfq767A / slice expired t=1
8,0 1 0 81.117914755 0 m N cfq767A / resid=40
8,0 1 0 81.117915340 0 m N / served: vt=1948520448 min_vt=1948520448
8,0 1 0 81.117915858 0 m N cfq767A / sl_used=1 disp=0 charge=0 iops=1 sect=0
where cfq767 is the xfsaild queue and cfq1618 corresponds to one of the ScyllaDB
IO dispatchers.
The requests preempting the xfsaild queue are synchronous requests. That's a
characteristic of ScyllaDB workloads, as we only ever issue O_DIRECT requests.
While it can be argued that preempting ASYNC requests in favor of SYNC is part
of the CFQ logic, I don't believe that doing so for 15+ seconds is anyone's
goal.
Moreover, unless I am misunderstanding something, that breaks the expectation
set by the "fifo_expire_async" tunable, which in my system is set to the
default.
Looking at the code, it seems to me that the issue is that after we make
an async queue active, there is no guarantee that it will execute any request.
When the queue itself tests if it cfq_may_dispatch() it can bail if it sees SYNC
requests in flight. An incoming request from another queue can also preempt it
in such situation before we have the chance to execute anything (as seen in the
trace above).
This patch sets the must_dispatch flag if we notice that we have requests
that are already fifo_expired. This flag is always cleared after
cfq_dispatch_request() returns from cfq_dispatch_requests(), so it won't pin
the queue for subsequent requests (unless they are themselves expired)
Care is taken during preempt to still allow rt requests to preempt us
regardless.
Testing my workload with this patch applied produces much better results.
From the application side I see no timeouts, and the open() latency histogram
generated by systemtap looks much better, with the worst outlier at 131ms:

cgroup_on_dfl() tests whether the cgroup's root is the default
hierarchy; however, an individual controller is only interested in
whether the controller is attached to the default hierarchy and never
tests a cgroup which doesn't belong to the hierarchy that the
controller is attached to.
This patch replaces cgroup_on_dfl() tests in controllers with faster
static_key based cgroup_subsys_on_dfl(). This leaves cgroup core as
the only user of cgroup_on_dfl() and the function is moved from the
header file to cgroup.c.

cgroup is trying to make interface consistent across different
controllers. For weight based resource control, the knob should have
the range [1, 10000] and default to 100. This patch updates
cfq-iosched so that the weight range conforms. The internal
calculations have enough range and the widening of the weight range
shouldn't cause any problem.
* blkcg_policy->cpd_bind_fn() is added. If present, this is invoked
when blkcg is attached to a hierarchy.
* cfq_cpd_init() is updated to use the new default value on the
unified hierarchy.
* cfq_cpd_bind() callback is implemented to clear per-blkg configs and
apply the default config matching the hierarchy type.
* cfqd->root_group->[leaf_]weight initialization in cfq_init_queue()
is moved into !CONFIG_CFQ_GROUP_IOSCHED block. cfq_cpd_bind() is
now responsible for initializing the initial weights when blkcg is
enabled.

blkcg interface grew to be the biggest of all controllers and
unfortunately most inconsistent too. The interface files are
inconsistent with a number of cloes duplicates. Some files have
recursive variants while others don't. There's distinction between
normal and leaf weights which isn't intuitive and there are a lot of
stat knobs which don't make much sense outside of debugging and expose
too much implementation details to userland.
In the unified hierarchy, everything is always hierarchical and
internal nodes can't have tasks rendering the two structural issues
twisting the current interface. The interface has to be updated in a
significant anyway and this is a good chance to revamp it as a whole.
This patch implements blkcg interface for the unified hierarchy.
* (from a previous patch) blkcg is identified by "io" instead of
"blkio" on the unified hierarchy. Given that the whole interface is
updated anyway, the rename shouldn't carry noticeable conversion
overhead.
* The original interface consisted of 27 files is replaced with the
following three files.
blkio.stat : per-blkcg stats
blkio.weight : per-cgroup and per-cgroup-queue weight settings
blkio.max : per-cgroup-queue bps and iops max limits
Documentation/cgroups/unified-hierarchy.txt updated accordingly.
v2: blkcg_policy->dfl_cftypes wasn't removed on

Currently, blkg_conf_prep() expects input to be of the following form
MAJ:MIN NUM
and reads the NUM part into blkg_conf_ctx->v. This is quite
restrictive and gets in the way in implementing blkcg interface for
the unified hierarchy. This patch updates blkg_conf_prep() so that it
expects
MAJ:MIN BODY_STR
where BODY_STR is an arbitrary string. blkg_conf_ctx->v is replaced
with ->body which is a char pointer pointing to the start of BODY_STR.
Parsing of the body is moved to blkg_conf_prep()'s callers.
To allow using, for example, strsep() on blkg_conf_ctx->val, it is a
non-const pointer and to accommodate that const is dropped from @input
too.
This doesn't cause any behavior changes.

cfq_stats->sectors is a blkg_stat which keeps track of the total
number of sectors serviced; however, this can be trivially calculated
from blkcg_gq->stat_bytes. The only thing necessary is adding up
READs and WRITEs and then dividing by sector size.
Remove cfqg_stats->sectors and make cfq print "sectors" and
"sectors_recursive" from stat_bytes.
While this is a bit more code, it removes duplicate stat allocations
and updates and ensures that the reported stats stay in tune with each
other.

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.

blkcg_[rw]stat are used as stat counters for blkcg policies. It isn't
per-cpu by itself and blk-throttle makes it per-cpu by wrapping around
it. This patch makes blkcg_[rw]stat per-cpu and drop the ad-hoc
per-cpu wrapping in blk-throttle.
* blkg_[rw]stat->cnt is replaced with cpu_cnt which is struct
percpu_counter. This makes syncp unnecessary as remote accesses are
handled by percpu_counter itself.
* blkg_[rw]stat_init() can now fail due to percpu allocation failure
and thus are updated to return int.
* percpu_counters need explicit freeing. blkg_[rw]stat_exit() added.
* As blkg_rwstat->cpu_cnt[] can't be read directly anymore, reading
and summing results are stored in ->aux_cnt[] instead.
* Custom per-cpu stat implementation in blk-throttle is removed.
This makes all blkcg stat counters per-cpu without complicating policy
implmentations.

cgroup stats are local to each cgroup and doesn't propagate to
ancestors by default. When recursive stats are necessary, the sum is
calculated over all the descendants. This initially was for backward
compatibility to support both group-local and recursive stats but this
mode of operation makes general sense as stat update is much hotter
thafn reporting those stats.
This however ends up losing recursive stats when a child is removed.
To work around this, cfq-iosched adds its stats to its parent
cfq_group->dead_stats which is summed up together when calculating
recursive stats.
It's planned that the core stats will be moved to blkcg_gq, so we want
to move the mechanism for keeping track of the stats of dead children
from cfq to blkcg core. This patch adds blkg_[rw]stat->aux_cnt which
are atomic64_t's keeping track of auxiliary counts which are excluded
when reading local counts but included for recursive.
blkg_[rw]stat_merge() which were used by cfq to implement dead_stats
are replaced by blkg_[rw]stat_add_aux(), and cfq now forwards stats of
a dead cgroup to the aux counts of parent->stats instead of separate
->dead_stats.
This will also help making blkg_[rw]stats per-cpu.

blkg (blkcg_gq) currently is created by blkcg policies invoking
blkg_lookup_create() which ends up repeating about the same code in
different policies. Theoretically, this can avoid the overhead of
looking and/or creating blkg's if blkcg is enabled but no policy is in
use; however, the cost of blkg lookup / creation is very low
especially if only the root blkcg is in use which is highly likely if
no blkcg policy is in active use - it boils down to a single very
predictable conditional and surrounding RCU protection.
This patch consolidates blkg creation to a new function
blkcg_bio_issue_check() which is called during bio issue from
generic_make_request_checks(). blkcg_bio_issue_check() is now the
only function which tries to create missing blkg's. The subsequent
policy and request_list operations just perform blkg_lookup() and if
missing falls back to the root.
* blk_get_rl() no longer tries to create blkg. It uses blkg_lookup()
instead of blkg_lookup_create().
* blk_throtl_bio() is now called from blkcg_bio_issue_check() with rcu
read locked and blkg already looked up. Both throtl_lookup_tg() and
throtl_lookup_create_tg() are dropped.
* cfq is similarly updated. cfq_lookup_create_cfqg() is replaced with
cfq_lookup_cfqg()which uses blkg_lookup().
This consolidates blkg handling and avoids unnecessary blkg creation
retries under memory pressure. In addition, this provides a common
bio entry point into blkcg where things like common accounting can be
performed.

Each active policy has a cpd (blkcg_policy_data) on each blkcg. The
cpd's were allocated by blkcg core and each policy could request to
allocate extra space at the end by setting blkcg_policy->cpd_size
larger than the size of cpd.
This is a bit unusual but blkg (blkcg_gq) policy data used to be
handled this way too so it made sense to be consistent; however, blkg
policy data switched to alloc/free callbacks.
This patch makes similar changes to cpd handling.
blkcg_policy->cpd_alloc/free_fn() are added to replace ->cpd_size. As
cpd allocation is now done from policy side, it can simply allocate a
larger area which embeds cpd at the beginning.
As ->cpd_alloc_fn() may be able to perform all necessary
initializations, this patch makes ->cpd_init_fn() optional.

blkcg. This makes it consistent with blkg_policy_data methods and
to-be-added cpd alloc/free methods.

The newly added ->pd_alloc_fn() and ->pd_free_fn() deal with pd
(blkg_policy_data) while the older ones use blkg (blkcg_gq). As using
blkg doesn't make sense for ->pd_alloc_fn() and after allocation pd
can always be mapped to blkg and given that these are policy-specific
methods, it makes sense to converge on pd.
This patch makes all methods deal with pd instead of blkg. Most
conversions are trivial. In blk-cgroup.c, a couple method invocation
sites now test whether pd exists instead of policy state for
consistency. This shouldn't cause any behavioral differences.

With the recent addition of alloc and free methods, things became
messier. This patch reorganizes them according to the followings.
* ->pd_alloc_fn()
Responsible for allocation and static initializations - the ones
which can be done independent of where the pd might be attached.
* ->pd_init_fn()
Initializations which require the knowledge of where the pd is
attached.
* ->pd_free_fn()
The counter part of pd_alloc_fn(). Static de-init and freeing.
This leaves ->pd_exit_fn() without any users. Removed.
While at it, collapse an one liner function throtl_pd_exit(), which
has only one user, into its user.

A blkg (blkcg_gq) represents the relationship between a cgroup and
request_queue. Each active policy has a pd (blkg_policy_data) on each
blkg. The pd's were allocated by blkcg core and each policy could
request to allocate extra space at the end by setting
blkcg_policy->pd_size larger than the size of pd.
This is a bit unusual but was done this way mostly to simplify error
handling and all the existing use cases could be handled this way;
however, this is becoming too restrictive now that percpu memory can
be allocated without blocking.
This introduces two new mandatory blkcg_policy methods - pd_alloc_fn()
and pd_free_fn() - which are used to allocate and release pd for a
given policy. As pd allocation is now done from policy side, it can
simply allocate a larger area which embeds pd at the beginning. This
change makes ->pd_size pointless. Removed.

Up until now, all async IOs were queued to async queues which are
shared across the whole request_queue, which means that blkcg resource
control is completely void on async IOs including all writeback IOs.
It was done this way because writeback didn't support writeback and
there was no way of telling which writeback IO belonged to which
cgroup; however, writeback recently became cgroup aware and writeback
bio's are sent down properly tagged with the blkcg's to charge them
against.
This patch makes async cfq_queues per-cfq_cgroup instead of
per-cfq_data so that each async IO is charged to the blkcg that it was
tagged for instead of unconditionally attributing it to root.
* cfq_data->async_cfqq and ->async_idle_cfqq are moved to cfq_group
and alloc / destroy paths are updated accordingly.
* cfq_link_cfqq_cfqg() no longer overrides @cfqg to root for async
queues.
* check_blkcg_changed() now also invalidates async queues as they no
longer stay the same across cgroups.
After this patch, cfq's proportional IO control through blkio.weight
works correctly when cgroup writeback is in use.

cfq_find_alloc_queue() checks whether a queue actually needs to be
allocated, which is unnecessary as its sole caller, cfq_get_queue(),
only calls it if so. Also, the oom queue fallback logic is scattered
between cfq_get_queue() and cfq_find_alloc_queue(). There really
isn't much going on in the latter and things can be made simpler by
folding it into cfq_get_queue().
This patch collapses cfq_find_alloc_queue() into cfq_get_queue(). The
change is fairly straight-forward with one exception - async_cfqq is
now initialized to NULL and the "!is_sync" test in the last if
conditional is replaced with "async_cfqq" test. This is because gcc
(5.1.1) gets confused for some reason and warns that async_cfqq may be
used uninitialized otherwise. Oh well, the code isn't necessarily
worse this way.
This patch doesn't cause any functional difference.

cfq_get_queue()
This is necessary for making async cfq_cgroups per-cfq_group instead
of per-cfq_data. While this change makes cfq_get_queue() perform RCU
locking and look up cfq_group even when it reuses async queue, the
extra overhead is extremely unlikely to be noticeable given that this
is already sitting behind cic->cfqq[] cache and the overall cost of
cfq operation.

Even when allocations fail, cfq_find_alloc_queue() always returns a
valid cfq_queue by falling back to the oom cfq_queue. As such, there
isn't much point in taking @gfp_mask and trying "harder" if __GFP_WAIT
is set. GFP_NOWAIT allocations don't fail often and even when they do
the degraded behavior is acceptable and temporary.
After all, the only reason get_request(), which ultimately determines
the gfp_mask, cares about __GFP_WAIT is to guarantee request
allocation, assuming IO forward progress, for callers which are
willing to wait. There's no reason for cfq_find_alloc_queue() to
behave differently on __GFP_WAIT when it already has a fallback
mechanism.
Remove @gfp_mask from cfq_find_alloc_queue() and propagate the changes
to its callers. This simplifies the function quite a bit and will
help making async queues per-cfq_group.

allocations
blkcg performs several allocations to track IOs per cgroup and enforce
resource control. Most of these allocations are performed lazily on
demand in the IO path and thus can't involve reclaim path. Currently,
these allocations use GFP_ATOMIC; however, blkcg can gracefully deal
with occassional failures of these allocations by punting IOs to the
root cgroup and there's no reason to reach into the emergency reserve.
This patch replaces GFP_ATOMIC with GFP_NOWAIT for the following
allocations.
* bdi_writeback_congested and blkcg_gq allocations in blkg_create().
* radix tree node allocations for blkcg->blkg_tree.
* cfq_queue allocation on ioprio changes.

If the cfq_queue cached in cfq_io_cq is the oom one, cfq_set_request()
replaces it by invoking cfq_get_queue() again without putting the oom
queue leaking the reference it was holding. While oom queues are not
released through reference counting, they're still reference counted
and this can theoretically lead to the reference count overflowing and
incorrectly invoke the usual release path on it.
Fix it by making cfq_set_request() put the ref it was holding.

Async cfqq's (cfq_queue's) are shared across cfq_data. When
cfq_get_queue() obtains a new queue from cfq_find_alloc_queue(), it
stashes the pointer in cfq_data and reuses it from then on; however,
the function doesn't consider that cfq_find_alloc_queue() may return
the oom_cfqq under memory pressure and installs the returned queue
unconditionally.
If the oom_cfqq is installed as an async cfqq, cfq_set_request() will
continue calling cfq_get_queue() hoping to replace it with a proper
queue; however, cfq_get_queue() will keep returning the cached queue
for the slot - the oom_cfqq.
Fix it by skipping caching if the queue is the oom one.

The block IO (blkio) controller enables the block layer to provide service
guarantees in a hierarchical fashion. Specifically, service guarantees
are provided by registered request-accounting policies. As of now, a
proportional-share and a throttling policy are available. They are
implemented, respectively, by the CFQ I/O scheduler and the blk-throttle
subsystem. Unfortunately, as for adding new policies, the current
implementation of the block IO controller is only halfway ready to allow
new policies to be plugged in. This commit provides a solution to make
the block IO controller fully ready to handle new policies.
In what follows, we first describe briefly the current state, and then
list the changes made by this commit.
The throttling policy does not need any per-cgroup information to perform
its task. In contrast, the proportional share policy uses, for each cgroup,
both the weight assigned by the user to the cgroup, and a set of dynamically-
computed weights, one for each device.
The first, user-defined weight is stored in the blkcg data structure: the
block IO controller allocates a private blkcg data structure for each
cgroup in the blkio cgroups hierarchy (regardless of which policy is active).
In other words, the block IO controller internally mirrors the blkio cgroups
with private blkcg data structures.
On the other hand, for each cgroup and device, the corresponding dynamically-
computed weight is maintained in the following, different way. For each device,
the block IO controller keeps a private blkcg_gq structure for each cgroup in
blkio. In other words, block IO also keeps one private mirror copy of the blkio
cgroups hierarchy for each device, made of blkcg_gq structures.
Each blkcg_gq structure keeps per-policy information in a generic array of
dynamically-allocated 'dedicated' data structures, one for each registered
policy (so currently the array contains two elements). To be inserted into the
generic array, each dedicated data structure embeds a generic blkg_policy_data
structure. Consider now the array contained in the blkcg_gq structure
corresponding to a given pair of cgroup and device: one of the elements
of the array contains the dedicated data structure for the proportional-share
policy, and this dedicated data structure contains the dynamically-computed
weight for that pair of cgroup and device.
The generic strategy adopted for storing per-policy data in blkcg_gq structures
is already capable of handling new policies, whereas the one adopted with blkcg
structures is not, because per-policy data are hard-coded in the blkcg
structures themselves (currently only data related to the proportional-
share policy).
This commit addresses the above issues through the following changes:
. It generalizes blkcg structures so that per-policy data are stored in the same
way as in blkcg_gq structures.
Specifically, it lets also the blkcg structure store per-policy data in a
generic array of dynamically-allocated dedicated data structures. We will
refer to these data structures as blkcg dedicated data structures, to
distinguish them from the dedicated data structures inserted in the generic
arrays kept by blkcg_gq structures.
To allow blkcg dedicated data structures to be inserted in the generic array
inside a blkcg structure, this commit also introduces a new blkcg_policy_data
structure, which is the equivalent of blkg_policy_data for blkcg dedicated
data structures.
. It adds to the blkcg_policy structure, i.e., to the descriptor of a policy, a
cpd_size field and a cpd_init field, to be initialized by the policy with,
respectively, the size of the blkcg dedicated data structures, and the
address of a constructor function for blkcg dedicated data structures.
. It moves the CFQ-specific fields embedded in the blkcg data structure (i.e.,
the fields related to the proportional-share policy), into a new blkcg
dedicated data structure called cfq_group_data.

CFQ idling causes reduced IOPS throughput on non-rotational disks.
Since disk head seeking is not applicable to SSDs, it doesn't really
help performance by anticipating future near-by IO requests.
By turning off idling (and switching to IOPS mode), we allow other
processes to dispatch IO requests down to the driver and so increase IO
throughput.
Following FIO benchmark results were taken on a cloud SSD offering with
idling on and off:

Hi,
If you can manage to submit an async write as the first async I/O from
the context of a process with realtime scheduling priority, then a
cfq_queue is allocated, but filed into the wrong async_cfqq bucket. It
ends up in the best effort array, but actually has realtime I/O
scheduling priority set in cfqq->ioprio.
The reason is that cfq_get_queue assumes the default scheduling class and
priority when there is no information present (i.e. when the async cfqq
is created):
static struct cfq_queue *
cfq_get_queue(struct cfq_data *cfqd, bool is_sync, struct cfq_io_cq *cic,
struct bio *bio, gfp_t gfp_mask)
{
const int ioprio_class = IOPRIO_PRIO_CLASS(cic->ioprio);
const int ioprio = IOPRIO_PRIO_DATA(cic->ioprio);
cic->ioprio starts out as 0, which is "invalid". So, class of 0
(IOPRIO_CLASS_NONE) is passed to cfq_async_queue_prio like so:
async_cfqq = cfq_async_queue_prio(cfqd, ioprio_class, ioprio);
static struct cfq_queue **
cfq_async_queue_prio(struct cfq_data *cfqd, int ioprio_class, int ioprio)
{
switch (ioprio_class) {
case IOPRIO_CLASS_RT:
return &cfqd->async_cfqq[0][ioprio];
case IOPRIO_CLASS_NONE:
ioprio = IOPRIO_NORM;
/* fall through */
case IOPRIO_CLASS_BE:
return &cfqd->async_cfqq[1][ioprio];
case IOPRIO_CLASS_IDLE:
return &cfqd->async_idle_cfqq;
default:
BUG();
}
}
Here, instead of returning a class mapped from the process' scheduling
priority, we get back the bucket associated with IOPRIO_CLASS_BE.
Now, there is no queue allocated there yet, so we create it:
cfqq = cfq_find_alloc_queue(cfqd, is_sync, cic, bio, gfp_mask);
That function ends up doing this:
cfq_init_cfqq(cfqd, cfqq, current->pid, is_sync);
cfq_init_prio_data(cfqq, cic);
cfq_init_cfqq marks the priority as having changed. Then, cfq_init_prio
data does this:
ioprio_class = IOPRIO_PRIO_CLASS(cic->ioprio);
switch (ioprio_class) {
default:
printk(KERN_ERR "cfq: bad prio %x\n", ioprio_class);
case IOPRIO_CLASS_NONE:
/*
* no prio set, inherit CPU scheduling settings
*/
cfqq->ioprio = task_nice_ioprio(tsk);
cfqq->ioprio_class = task_nice_ioclass(tsk);
break;
So we basically have two code paths that treat IOPRIO_CLASS_NONE
differently, which results in an RT async cfqq filed into a best effort
bucket.
Attached is a patch which fixes the problem. I'm not sure how to make
it cleaner. Suggestions would be welcome.

cfq_group_service_tree_add() is applying new_weight at the beginning of
the function via cfq_update_group_weight().
This actually allows weight to change between adding it to and subtracting
it from children_weight, and triggers WARN_ON_ONCE() in
cfq_group_service_tree_del(), or even causes oops by divide error during
vfr calculation in cfq_group_service_tree_add().
The detailed scenario is as follows:
1. Create blkio cgroups X and Y as a child of X.
Set X's weight to 500 and perform some I/O to apply new_weight.
This X's I/O completes before starting Y's I/O.
2. Y starts I/O and cfq_group_service_tree_add() is called with Y.
3. cfq_group_service_tree_add() walks up the tree during children_weight
calculation and adds parent X's weight (500) to children_weight of root.
children_weight becomes 500.
4. Set X's weight to 1000.
5. X starts I/O and cfq_group_service_tree_add() is called with X.
6. cfq_group_service_tree_add() applies its new_weight (1000).
7. I/O of Y completes and cfq_group_service_tree_del() is called with Y.
8. I/O of X completes and cfq_group_service_tree_del() is called with X.
9. cfq_group_service_tree_del() subtracts X's weight (1000) from
children_weight of root. children_weight becomes -500.
This triggers WARN_ON_ONCE().
10. Set X's weight to 500.
11. X starts I/O and cfq_group_service_tree_add() is called with X.
12. cfq_group_service_tree_add() applies its new_weight (500) and adds it
to children_weight of root. children_weight becomes 0. Calcularion of
vfr triggers oops by divide error.
weight should be updated right before adding it to children_weight.

Pull cgroup updates from Tejun Heo:
"A lot of activities on cgroup side. Heavy restructuring including
locking simplification took place to improve the code base and enable
implementation of the unified hierarchy, which currently exists behind
a __DEVEL__ mount option. The core support is mostly complete but
individual controllers need further work. To explain the design and
rationales of the the unified hierarchy
Documentation/cgroups/unified-hierarchy.txt
is added.
Another notable change is css (cgroup_subsys_state - what each
controller uses to identify and interact with a cgroup) iteration
update. This is part of continuing updates on css object lifetime and
visibility. cgroup started with reference count draining on removal
way back and is now reaching a point where csses behave and are
iterated like normal refcnted objects albeit with some complexities to
allow distinguishing the state where they're being deleted. The css
iteration update isn't taken advantage of yet but is planned to be
used to simplify memcg significantly"

Convert all cftype->write_string() users to the new cftype->write()
which maps directly to kernfs write operation and has full access to
kernfs and cgroup contexts. The conversions are mostly mechanical.
* @css and @cft are accessed using of_css() and of_cft() accessors
respectively instead of being specified as arguments.
* Should return @nbytes on success instead of 0.
* @buf is not trimmed automatically. Trim if necessary. Note that
blkcg and netprio don't need this as the parsers already handle
whitespaces.
cftype->write_string() has no user left after the conversions and
removed.
While at it, remove unnecessary local variable @p in
cgroup_subtree_control_write() and stale comment about
CGROUP_LOCAL_BUFFER_SIZE in cgroup_freezer.c.
This patch doesn't introduce any visible behavior changes.
v2: netprio was missing from conversion. Converted.
