Subject: [PATCH -next v4 4/4] blk-throttle: fix io hung due to config updates

If new configuration is submitted while a bio is throttled, then new
waiting time is recalculated regardless that the bio might aready wait
for some time:

tg_conf_updated
throtl_start_new_slice
tg_update_disptime
throtl_schedule_next_dispatch

Then io hung can be triggered by always submmiting new configuration
before the throttled bio is dispatched.

Fix the problem by respecting the time that throttled bio aready waited.
In order to do that, add new fields to record how many bytes/io already
waited, and use it to calculate wait time for throttled bio under new
configuration.

Some simple test:
1)
cd /sys/fs/cgroup/blkio/
echo $$ > cgroup.procs
echo "8:0 2048" > blkio.throttle.write_bps_device
{
sleep 3
echo "8:0 1024" > blkio.throttle.write_bps_device
} &
sleep 1
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda bs=8k count=1 oflag=direct

2)
cd /sys/fs/cgroup/blkio/
echo $$ > cgroup.procs
echo "8:0 1024" > blkio.throttle.write_bps_device
{
sleep 5
echo "8:0 2048" > blkio.throttle.write_bps_device
} &
sleep 1
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda bs=8k count=1 oflag=direct

test results: io finish time
before this patch with this patch
1) 10s 6s
2) 8s 6s

This new approach is correctly conserving the bandwidth upon changes.
(Looking and BPS paths.)

It's interesting that you're getting these numbers (w/patch)

wait := (disp + bio - Δt*l_old) / l_new

1)
wait = (0k + 8k - 3s*2k/s) / 1k/s = 2s -> i.e. 5s absolute

2)
wait = (0k + 8k - 5s*1k/s) / 2k/s = 2.5s -> i.e. 6.5s absolute

Are you numbers noisy+rounded or do I still mis anything?

(Also isn't it worth having this more permanent in tools/testing/selftest?)

On one hand, the callers of tg_update_skipped() know whether R/W limit
is changed, so only the respective variant could be called.
On the other hand, this conditions look implied by tg->flags &
THROTL_TG_PENDING.
(Just noting, it's likely still not possibly to pass the skipped value
only via stack.)

Please add a comment these fields exists to facilitate config updates
(the bytes to be skipped is sort of obvious from the name :-).

Hi, Michal

The way of your caculation is right, however, it seems like you missed
that io is dispatched after 1s:

sleep 1 -> here
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda bs=8k count=1 oflag=direct

Ok, will do that in next iteration.
