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.

Provide block layer support for the kernel.

Disable this option to remove the block layer support from the
|
|
kernel. This may be useful for embedded devices.
|
|
|
|
If this option is disabled:
|
|
|
|
- block device files will become unusable
|
|
- some filesystems (such as ext3) will become unavailable.
|
|
|
|
Also, SCSI character devices and USB storage will be disabled since
|
|
they make use of various block layer definitions and facilities.

Saying Y here will enable generic SG (SCSI generic) v4 support

Unlike SG v3 (aka block/scsi_ioctl.c drivers/scsi/sg.c), SG v4
|

can handle complicated SCSI commands: tagged variable length cdbs
|
|
with bidirectional data transfers and generic request/response
|
|
protocols (e.g. Task Management Functions and SMP in Serial

Attached SCSI).

---help---
|
|
Block layer bio throttling support. It can be used to limit
|
|
the IO rate to a device. IO rate policies are per cgroup and
|
|
one needs to mount and use blkio cgroup controller for creating
|
|
cgroups and specifying per device IO rate policies.

Add .low limit interface for block throttling. The low limit is a best
|
|
effort limit to prioritize cgroups. Depending on the setting, the limit
|
|
can be used to protect cgroups in terms of bandwidth/iops and better

utilize disk resource.

Note, this is an experimental interface and could be changed someday.

Enabling this option allows you to specify the partition layout from

the kernel boot args. This is typically of use for embedded devices
|
|
which don't otherwise have any standardized method for listing the
|
|
partitions on a block device.

---help---
|

Enabling this option enables the block layer to throttle buffered
|
|
background writeback from the VM, making it more smooth and having
|
|
less impact on foreground operations. The throttling is done
|
|
dynamically on an algorithm loosely based on CoDel, factoring in
|
|
the realtime performance of the disk.

|
|
---help---
|
|
Enabling this option enables the .latency interface for IO throttling.
|
|
The IO controller will attempt to maintain average IO latencies below
|
|
the configured latency target, throttling anybody with a higher latency
|
|
target than the victimized group.
|

Note, this is an experimental interface and could be changed someday.
