From fb926032b3209300f9dc454a36b8299582ae545c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Bart Van Assche Date: Thu, 17 Jun 2021 17:44:56 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] block/mq-deadline: Prioritize high-priority requests While one or more requests with a certain I/O priority are pending, do not dispatch lower priority requests. Dispatch lower priority requests anyway after the "aging" time has expired. This patch has been tested as follows: modprobe scsi_debug ndelay=1000000 max_queue=16 && sd='' && while [ -z "$sd" ]; do sd=/dev/$(basename /sys/bus/pseudo/drivers/scsi_debug/adapter*/host*/target*/*/block/*) done && echo $((100*1000)) > /sys/block/$sd/queue/iosched/aging_expire && cd /sys/fs/cgroup/blkio/ && echo $$ >cgroup.procs && echo restrict-to-be >blkio.prio.class && mkdir -p hipri && cd hipri && echo none-to-rt >blkio.prio.class && { max-iops -a1 -d32 -j1 -e mq-deadline $sd >& ~/low-pri.txt & } && echo $$ >cgroup.procs && max-iops -a1 -d32 -j1 -e mq-deadline $sd >& ~/hi-pri.txt Result: * 11000 IOPS for the high-priority job * 40 IOPS for the low-priority job If the aging expiry time is changed from 100s into 0, the IOPS results change into 6712 and 6796 IOPS. The max-iops script is a script that runs fio with the following arguments: --bs=4K --gtod_reduce=1 --ioengine=libaio --ioscheduler=${arg_e} --runtime=60 --norandommap --rw=read --thread --buffered=0 --numjobs=${arg_j} --iodepth=${arg_d} --iodepth_batch_submit=${arg_a} --iodepth_batch_complete=$((arg_d / 2)) --name=${positional_argument_1} --filename=${positional_argument_1} Reviewed-by: Damien Le Moal Cc: Hannes Reinecke Cc: Christoph Hellwig Cc: Ming Lei Cc: Johannes Thumshirn Cc: Himanshu Madhani Signed-off-by: Bart Van Assche Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20210618004456.7280-17-bvanassche@acm.org Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe --- block/mq-deadline-main.c | 42 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++----- 1 file changed, 37 insertions(+), 5 deletions(-) diff --git a/block/mq-deadline-main.c b/block/mq-deadline-main.c index 58a401ea8f565..4815e536091fd 100644 --- a/block/mq-deadline-main.c +++ b/block/mq-deadline-main.c @@ -32,6 +32,11 @@ */ static const int read_expire = HZ / 2; /* max time before a read is submitted. */ static const int write_expire = 5 * HZ; /* ditto for writes, these limits are SOFT! */ +/* + * Time after which to dispatch lower priority requests even if higher + * priority requests are pending. + */ +static const int aging_expire = 10 * HZ; static const int writes_starved = 2; /* max times reads can starve a write */ static const int fifo_batch = 16; /* # of sequential requests treated as one by the above parameters.
