2009-12-03blkio: Implement group_isolation tunableVivek Goyal1-1/+36
o If a group is running only a random reader, then it will not have enough traffic to keep disk busy and we will reduce overall throughput. This should result in better latencies for random reader though. If we don't idle on random reader service tree, then this random reader will experience large latencies if there are other groups present in system with sequential readers running in these. o One solution suggested by corrado is that by default keep the random readers or sync-noidle workload in root group so that during one dispatch round we idle only once on sync-noidle tree. This means that all the sync-idle workload queues will be in their respective group and we will see service differentiation in those but not on sync-noidle workload. o Provide a tunable group_isolation. If set, this will make sure that even sync-noidle queues go in their respective group and we wait on these. This provides stronger isolation between groups but at the expense of throughput if group does not have enough traffic to keep the disk busy. o By default group_isolation = 0 Signed-off-by: Vivek Goyal <vgoyal@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com>
2009-12-03blkio: Determine async workload length based on total number of queuesVivek Goyal1-5/+31
o Async queues are not per group. Instead these are system wide and maintained in root group. Hence their workload slice length should be calculated based on total number of queues in the system and not just queues in the root group. o As root group's default weight is 1000, make sure to charge async queue more in terms of vtime so that it does not get more time on disk because root group has higher weight.

2009-12-03blkio: Wait for cfq queue to get backlogged if group is emptyVivek Goyal1-5/+29
o If a queue consumes its slice and then gets deleted from service tree, its associated group will also get deleted from service tree if this was the only queue in the group. That will make group loose its share. o For the queues on which we have idling on and if these have used their slice, wait a bit for these queues to get backlogged again and then expire these queues so that group does not loose its share.

2009-12-03blkio: Drop the reference to queue once the task changes cgroupVivek Goyal1-0/+39
o If a task changes cgroup, drop reference to the cfqq associated with io context and set cfqq pointer stored in ioc to NULL so that upon next request arrival we will allocate a new queue in new group. Signed-off-by: Vivek Goyal <vgoyal@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com>
2009-12-03blkio: Provide some isolation between groupsVivek Goyal1-10/+20
o Do not allow following three operations across groups for isolation. - selection of co-operating queues - preemtpions across groups - request merging across groups. o Async queues are currently global and not per group. Allow preemption of an async queue if a sync queue in other group gets backlogged. Signed-off-by: Vivek Goyal <vgoyal@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com>

2009-12-03blkio: Group time used accounting and workload context save restoreVivek Goyal1-0/+79
o This patch introduces the functionality to do the accounting of group time when a queue expires. This time used decides which is the group to go next. o Also introduce the functionlity to save and restore the workload type context with-in group. It might happen that once we expire the cfq queue and group, a different group will schedule in and we will lose the context of the workload type. Hence save and restore it upon queue expiry.

2009-12-03blkio: Implement per cfq group latency target and busy queue avgVivek Goyal1-20/+45
o So far we had 300ms soft target latency system wide. Now with the introduction of cfq groups, divide that latency by number of groups so that one can come up with group target latency which will be helpful in determining the workload slice with-in group and also the dynamic slice length of the cfq queue.

2009-12-03blkio: Introduce the root service tree for cfq groupsVivek Goyal1-3/+134
o So far we just had one cfq_group in cfq_data. To create space for more than one cfq_group, we need to have a service tree of groups where all the groups can be queued if they have active cfq queues backlogged in these.

2009-12-03blkio: Keep queue on service tree until we expire itVivek Goyal1-21/+49
o Currently cfqq deletes a queue from service tree if it is empty (even if we might idle on the queue). This patch keeps the queue on service tree hence associated group remains on the service tree until we decide that we are not going to idle on the queue and expire it. o This just helps in time accounting for queue/group and in implementation of rest of the patches.

2009-12-03blkio: Introduce the notion of cfq groupsVivek Goyal1-33/+75
o This patch introduce the notion of cfq groups. Soon we will can have multiple groups of different weights in the system. o Various service trees (prioclass and workload type trees), will become per cfq group. So hierarchy looks as follows. cfq_groups | workload type | cfq queue o When an scheduling decision has to be taken, first we select the cfq group then workload with-in the group and then cfq queue with-in the workload type. o This patch just makes various workload service tree per cfq group and introduce the function to be able to choose a group for scheduling.

2009-12-03cfq-iosched: no dispatch limit for single queueShaohua Li1-2/+2
Since commit 2f5cb7381b737e24c8046fd4aeab571fb71315f5, each queue can send up to 4 * 4 requests if only one queue exists. I wonder why we have such limit. Device supports tag can send more requests. For example, AHCI can send 31 requests. Test (direct aio randread) shows the limits reduce about 4% disk thoughput. On the other hand, since we send one request one time, if other queue pop when current is sending more than cfq_quantum requests, current queue will stop send requests soon after one request, so sounds there is no big latency.

2009-12-03block: Allow devices to indicate whether discarded blocks are zeroedMartin K. Petersen6-0/+32
The discard ioctl is used by mkfs utilities to clear a block device prior to putting metadata down. However, not all devices return zeroed blocks after a discard. Some drives return stale data, potentially containing old superblocks. It is therefore important to know whether discarded blocks are properly zeroed. Both ATA and SCSI drives have configuration bits that indicate whether zeroes are returned after a discard operation. Implement a block level interface that allows this information to be bubbled up the stack and queried via a new block device ioctl. Signed-off-by: Martin K.

2009-12-02modules: don't export section names of empty sections via sysfsHelge Deller1-1/+4
On the parisc architecture we face for each and every loaded kernel module this kernel "badness warning": sysfs: cannot create duplicate filename '/module/ac97_bus/sections/.text' Badness at fs/sysfs/dir.c:487 Reason for that is, that on parisc all kernel modules do have multiple .text sections due to the usage of the -ffunction-sections compiler flag which is needed to reach all jump targets on this platform. An objdump on such a kernel module gives: Sections: Idx Name Size VMA LMA File off Algn 0 .note.gnu.build-id 00000024 00000000 00000000 00000034 2**2 CONTENTS, ALLOC, LOAD, READONLY, DATA 1 .text 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000058 2**0 CONTENTS, ALLOC, LOAD, READONLY, CODE 2 .text.ac97_bus_match 0000001c 00000000 00000000 00000058 2**2 CONTENTS, ALLOC, LOAD, READONLY, CODE 3 .text 00000000 00000000 00000000 000000d4 2**0 CONTENTS, ALLOC, LOAD, READONLY, CODE ... Since the .text sections are empty (size of 0 bytes) and won't be loaded by the kernel module loader anyway, I don't see a reason why such sections need to be listed under /sys/module/<module_name>/sections/<section_name> either. The attached patch does solve this issue by not exporting section names which are empty.

2009-12-01rtc-x1205: reset clock to sane state after power failureJohannes Weiner1-2/+2
When detecting power failure, the probe function would reset the clock time to defined state. However, the clock's _date_ might still be bogus and a subsequent probe fails when sanity-checking these values. Change the power-failure fixup code to do a full setting of rtc_time, including a valid date.

2009-12-01rtc-x1205: fix rtc_time to y2k register value conversionJohannes Weiner1-1/+1
The possible CCR_Y2K register values are 19 or 20 and struct rtc_time's tm_year is in years since 1900. The function translating rtc_time to register values assumes tm_year to be years since first christmas, though, and we end up storing 0 or 1 in the CCR_Y2K register, which the hardware does not refuse to do. A subsequent probing of the clock fails due to the invalid value range in the register, though. [ And if it didn't, reading the clock would yield a bogus year because the function translating registers to tm_year is assuming a register value of 19 or 20. ] This fixes the conversion from years since 1900 in tm_year to the corresponding CCR_Y2K value of 19 or 20.

2009-12-01MIPS: Loongson: Switch from flatmem to sparsememWu Zhangjin1-1/+1
With flatmem hibernation for Loongson will fail, and there are also some other problems such as broken files when using NFS or CIFS / Samba. The config help of sparsemem says: "This option provides some potential performance benefits, along with decreased code complexity." So to avoid the potential problems of FLATMEM, we disable FLATMEM directly and use SPARSEMEM instead. Related email thread: http://groups.google.com/group/loongson-dev/browse_thread/thread/b6b65890ec2b0f24/feb43e5aa7f55d9b?show_docid=feb43e5aa7f55d9b Reported-by: Tatu Kilappa <tatu.kilappa@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Wu Zhangjin <wuzhangjin@gmail.com> Patchwork: http://patchwork.linux-mips.org/patch/737/ Cc: linux-mips@linux-mips.org Cc: zhangfx@lemote.com Signed-off-by: Ralf Baechle <ralf@linux-mips.org>
2009-12-01MIPS: Loongson: Disallow 4kB pagesWu Zhangjin1-0/+1
Currently, with PAGE_SIZE_4KB, the kernel for loongson will hang on: Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init! The possible reason is the cache aliases problem: Loongson 2F has 64kb, 4 way L1 Cache, the way size is 16kb, which is bigger then 4kb. so, If using 4kb page size, there is cache aliases problem. To avoid this kind of problem, extra cache flushing. The 2nd possible solution is 16kb page size which avoids cache aliases without the need for extra cache flushes. So we disable 4kB pages until the aliasing issue is solved.
