Subject: [PATCH] 2.5 port of aio-20020619 for raw devices

# This is a BitKeeper generated patch for the following project:
# Project Name: Linux Kernel 2.5
# This patch format is intended for GNU patch command version 2.5 or higher.
# This patch includes the following deltas:
# ChangeSet 1.2 -> 1.4
# include/linux/aio.h 1.1 -> 1.3
# Makefile 1.1 -> 1.2
# fs/buffer.c 1.1 -> 1.3
# include/linux/types.h 1.1 -> 1.2
# mm/memory.c 1.1 -> 1.3
# include/linux/fs.h 1.1 -> 1.3
# fs/aio.c 1.1 -> 1.3
# drivers/char/raw.c 1.1 -> 1.3
# (new) -> 1.2 include/linux/kiovec.h
#
# The following is the BitKeeper ChangeSet Log
# --------------------------------------------
# 02/09/11 [email protected] 1.3
# This changeset provides a partial port of Ben LaHaise's asynchronous
# I/O patch for 2.4 kernel to 2.5. The port conforms to the aio API
# included in 2.5.32 and uses the design, data structures and functions
# of the aio-20020619.diff.txt patch.
# What this patch does
# - implements aio read/write for raw devices
# - provides the kvec data structure and helper functions
# - conforms to the kiocb data structure provided in the 2.5.32 aio API
# What this patch doesn't do
# - support read/write for regular files (including those opened with
# O_DIRECT), pipes, sockets.
# - use the dio related functions providing O_DIRECT support.
# - change any of the synchronous read/write functions.
# - allow large transfers (> 128 KB) which were done in 2.4 using the
# generic_aio_next_chunk function and kiocb->u task queue.
#
# The intent of providing this patch is to allow a performance
# comparison of the aio design provided in 2.4 with any forthcoming
# design in 2.5. Hopefully it will lead to an estimate of the
# performance impact of keeping the async and sync I/O paths separate.
# To have a fair comparison, its probably necessary for this code to
# use bios directly rather than buffer heads, allow large I/O's etc.
# The comparison will also be more complete if the missing 2.4
# functionality (regular files, pipes....) is ported over too.
#
# It is NOT intended to fork aio kernel code development or to suggest
# an alternate design for 2.5 aio kernel support.
#
# Comments, suggestion for changes welcome.

The generic aio <-> kvec functions were found to not work well, and
the chunking code needs to actually pipeline data for decent io thruput.
Short story: the raw device code must be rewritten using the dio code
that akpm introduced.

So does the kvec structure go away (and some variant of dio get used) ?

That's orthogonal. kvecs are really just bio_vecs for use by any code
that has to pass around data that is scatter-gathered.

I see. So generic_aio_rw would directly call some function which used
dio's rather than map the kvec first and call a kvec_op ?

There should be no generic_aio_rw. Don't bring it back. Don't make any
kvec ops either for it, just implement aio_read.

How async (degree on non-blocking nature of steps in the async state
machine) do we want to be when we use the dio pipelining code ?
(besides making the wait for dio completion bit async, of course)

Some key places where we can potentially block are when mapping
the user pages, as part of get_blocks, when alloc'ing a bio,
when issuing submit_bio (i.e. waiting for the request pipeline
to drain out or free up slots). I guess, at least the last one
would be addressed ... not sure what the plans for the rest
are.

alloc_bio non-blocking can be done by caller himself, submit_bio
non-blocking can be assured with BIO_RW_AHEAD.

I haven't really found that to be usable - by the time you've
called submit_bio() it's just waaaay too late to back out and
undo everything. Mark pages dirty again, unlock them, clear the
writeback bits, tell the caller that we really didn't write these
many pages, tell the caller that things aren't working out, stop
sending us pages, etc.

It's made harder by the fact that submit_bio() always returns "1". So
you need to work out what happened in the bi_end_io() handler and
pass all that back again. And somehow work out whether it was a failed
WRITEA and not an IO error...

That's why I added the ability to ask "is this mapping's queue congested".
It is much simpler to use and test from the perspective of the upper layers.

It has the disadvantage that we may have some data which is mergeable,
and would in fact nonblockingly fit into a "congested" queue. Don't
know if that makes a lot of difference in practice.

But there are some more things we can do to improve IO scheduling from the
top layer. The most prominent of these is to write back the blockdev
mapping's dirty pages in pgoff_t order (ie: LBA order) rather than in
chronological mapping->dirty_pages order. That's happening, slowly, but
involves significant surgery on radix_tree_brains.

That's what I was thinking. Not having a congested queue really breaks
aio as your submit point is not supposed to incur significant latency: an
io should -EAGAIN if it would cost a large delay to setup.

So is this congestion-query interface adequate for AIO? (It only works
for disk-backed address_spaces, but other technologies can be taught to
implement the required signalling).





The patch provides a means for the VM to be able to determine whether a
request queue is in a "congested" state. If it is congested, then a
write to (or read from) the queue may cause blockage in
get_request_wait().

So the VM can do:

if (!bdi_write_congested(page->mapping->backing_dev_info))
writepage(page);


This is not exact. The code assumes that if the request queue still
has 1/4 of its capacity (queue_nr_requests) available then a request
will be non-blocking. There is a small chance that another CPU could
zoom in and consume those requests. But on the rare occasions where
that may happen the result will mereley be some unexpected latency -
it's not worth doing anything elaborate to prevent this.


The patch decreases the size of `batch_requests'. batch_requests is
positively harmful - when a "heavy" writer and a "light" writer are
both writing to the same queue, batch_requests provides a means for the
heavy writer to massively stall the light writer. Instead of waiting
for one or two requests to come free, the light writer has to wait for
32 requests to complete.

Plus batch_requests generally makes things harder to tune, understand
and predict. I wanted to kill it altogether, but Jens says that it is
important for some hardware - it allows decent size requests to be
submitted.

The VM changes which go along with this code cause batch_requests to be
not so painful anyway - the only processes which sleep in
get_request_wait() are the ones which we elect, by design, to wait in
there - typically heavy writers.


The patch changes the meaning of `queue_nr_requests'. It used to mean
"total number of requests per queue". Half of these are for reads, and
half are for writes. This always confused the heck out of me, and the
code needs to divide queue_nr_requests by two all over the place.

So queue_nr_requests now means "the number of write requests per queue"
and "the number of read requests per queue". ie: I halved it.

Also, queue_nr_requests was converted to static scope. Nothing else
uses it.


The accuracy of bdi_read_congested() and bdi_write_congested() depends
upon the accuracy of mapping->backing_dev_info. With complex block
stacking arrangements it is possible that ->backing_dev_info is
pointing at the wrong queue. I don't know.

But the cost of getting this wrong is merely latency, and if it is a
problem we can fix it up in the block layer, by getting stacking
devices to communicate their congestion state upwards in some manner.
