Subject: [PATCH V4 0/8] block, bfq: extend bfq to support multi-actuator drives

Hi,

this V4 differs from V3 in that it implements all recommendations
provided by Damien Le Moal in the thread for V3 [2]. It also addresses
all the issues reported by the kernel test robot in the same thread.

Here is the whole description of this patch series again. This
extension addresses the following issue. Single-LUN multi-actuator
SCSI drives, as well as all multi-actuator SATA drives appear as a
single device to the I/O subsystem [1]. Yet they address commands to
different actuators internally, as a function of Logical Block
Addressing (LBAs). A given sector is reachable by only one of the
actuators. For example, Seagate’s Serial Advanced Technology
Attachment (SATA) version contains two actuators and maps the lower
half of the SATA LBA space to the lower actuator and the upper half to
the upper actuator.

Evidently, to fully utilize actuators, no actuator must be left idle
or underutilized while there is pending I/O for it. To reach this
goal, the block layer must somehow control the load of each actuator
individually. This series enriches BFQ with such a per-actuator
control, as a first step. Then it also adds a simple mechanism for
guaranteeing that actuators with pending I/O are never left idle.

See [1] for a more detailed overview of the problem and of the
solutions implemented in this patch series. There you will also find
some preliminary performance results.

Thanks,
Paolo

Subject: [PATCH V4 6/8] block, bfq: retrieve independent access ranges from request queue

From: Federico Gavioli <[email protected]>

This patch implements the code to gather the content of the
independent_access_ranges structure from the request_queue and copy
it into the queue's bfq_data. This copy is done at queue initialization.

We copy the access ranges into the bfq_data to avoid taking the queue
lock each time we access the ranges.

This implementation, however, puts a limit to the maximum independent
ranges supported by the scheduler. Such a limit is equal to the constant
BFQ_MAX_ACTUATORS. This limit was placed to avoid the allocation of
dynamic memory.

Subject: [PATCH V4 3/8] block, bfq: move io_cq-persistent bfqq data into a dedicated struct

With a multi-actuator drive, a process may get associated with multiple
bfq_queues: one queue for each of the N actuators. So, the bfq_io_cq
data structure must be able to accommodate its per-queue persistent
information for N queues. Currently it stores this information for
just one queue, in several scalar fields.

This is a preparatory commit for moving to accommodating persistent
information for N queues. In particular, this commit packs all the
above scalar fields into a single data structure. Then there is now
only one fieldi, in bfq_io_cq, that stores all the above information. This
scalar field will then be turned into an array by a following commit.

Subject: [PATCH V4 8/8] block, bfq: balance I/O injection among underutilized actuators

From: Davide Zini <[email protected]>

Upon the invocation of its dispatch function, BFQ returns the next I/O
request of the in-service bfq_queue, unless some exception holds. One
such exception is that there is some underutilized actuator, different
from the actuator for which the in-service queue contains I/O, and
that some other bfq_queue happens to contain I/O for such an
actuator. In this case, the next I/O request of the latter bfq_queue,
and not of the in-service bfq_queue, is returned (I/O is injected from
that bfq_queue). To find such an actuator, a linear scan, in
increasing index order, is performed among actuators.

Performing a linear scan entails a prioritization among actuators: an
underutilized actuator may be considered for injection only if all
actuators with a lower index are currently fully utilized, or if there
is no pending I/O for any lower-index actuator that happens to be
underutilized.

This commits breaks this prioritization and tends to distribute
injection uniformly across actuators. This is obtained by adding the
following condition to the linear scan: even if an actuator A is
underutilized, A is however skipped if its load is higher than that of
the next actuator.

Subject: [PATCH V4 2/8] block, bfq: forbid stable merging of queues associated with different actuators

If queues associated with different actuators are merged, then control
is lost on each actuator. Therefore some actuator may be
underutilized, and throughput may decrease. This problem cannot occur
with basic queue merging, because the latter is triggered by spatial
locality, and sectors for different actuators are not close to each
other. Yet it may happen with stable merging. To address this issue,
this commit prevents stable merging from occurring among queues
associated with different actuators.

Subject: [PATCH V4 1/8] block, bfq: split sync bfq_queues on a per-actuator basis

Single-LUN multi-actuator SCSI drives, as well as all multi-actuator
SATA drives appear as a single device to the I/O subsystem [1]. Yet
they address commands to different actuators internally, as a function
of Logical Block Addressing (LBAs). A given sector is reachable by
only one of the actuators. For example, Seagate’s Serial Advanced
Technology Attachment (SATA) version contains two actuators and maps
the lower half of the SATA LBA space to the lower actuator and the
upper half to the upper actuator.

Evidently, to fully utilize actuators, no actuator must be left idle
or underutilized while there is pending I/O for it. The block layer
must somehow control the load of each actuator individually. This
commit lays the ground for allowing BFQ to provide such a per-actuator
control.

BFQ associates an I/O-request sync bfq_queue with each process doing
synchronous I/O, or with a group of processes, in case of queue
merging. Then BFQ serves one bfq_queue at a time. While in service, a
bfq_queue is emptied in request-position order. Yet the same process,
or group of processes, may generate I/O for different actuators. In
this case, different streams of I/O (each for a different actuator)
get all inserted into the same sync bfq_queue. So there is basically
no individual control on when each stream is served, i.e., on when the
I/O requests of the stream are picked from the bfq_queue and
dispatched to the drive.

This commit enables BFQ to control the service of each actuator
individually for synchronous I/O, by simply splitting each sync
bfq_queue into N queues, one for each actuator. In other words, a sync
bfq_queue is now associated to a pair (process, actuator). As a
consequence of this split, the per-queue proportional-share policy
implemented by BFQ will guarantee that the sync I/O generated for each
actuator, by each process, receives its fair share of service.

This is just a preparatory patch. If the I/O of the same process
happens to be sent to different queues, then each of these queues may
undergo queue merging. To handle this event, the bfq_io_cq data
structure must be properly extended. In addition, stable merging must
be disabled to avoid loss of control on individual actuators. Finally,
also async queues must be split. These issues are described in detail
and addressed in next commits. As for this commit, although multiple
per-process bfq_queues are provided, the I/O of each process or group
of processes is still sent to only one queue, regardless of the
actuator the I/O is for. The forwarding to distinct bfq_queues will be
enabled after addressing the above issues.

Subject: [PATCH V4 7/8] block, bfq: inject I/O to underutilized actuators

From: Davide Zini <[email protected]>

The main service scheme of BFQ for sync I/O is serving one sync
bfq_queue at a time, for a while. In particular, BFQ enforces this
scheme when it deems the latter necessary to boost throughput or
to preserve service guarantees. Unfortunately, when BFQ enforces
this policy, only one actuator at a time gets served for a while,
because each bfq_queue contains I/O only for one actuator. The
other actuators may remain underutilized.

Actually, BFQ may serve (inject) extra I/O, taken from other
bfq_queues, in parallel with that of the in-service queue. This
injection mechanism may provide the ground for dealing also with
the above actuator-underutilization problem. Yet BFQ does not take
the actuator load into account when choosing which queue to pick
extra I/O from. In addition, BFQ may happen to inject extra I/O
only when the in-service queue is temporarily empty.

In view of these facts, this commit extends the
injection mechanism in such a way that the latter:
(1) takes into account also the actuator load;
(2) checks such a load on each dispatch, and injects I/O for an
underutilized actuator, if there is one and there is I/O for it.

To perform the check in (2), this commit introduces a load
threshold, currently set to 4. A linear scan of each actuator is
performed, until an actuator is found for which the following two
conditions hold: the load of the actuator is below the threshold,
and there is at least one non-in-service queue that contains I/O
for that actuator. If such a pair (actuator, queue) is found, then
the head request of that queue is returned for dispatch, instead
of the head request of the in-service queue.

We have set the threshold, empirically, to the minimum possible
value for which an actuator is fully utilized, or close to be
fully utilized. By doing so, injected I/O 'steals' as few
drive-queue slots as possibile to the in-service queue. This
reduces as much as possible the probability that the service of
I/O from the in-service bfq_queue gets delayed because of slot
exhaustion, i.e., because all the slots of the drive queue are
filled with I/O injected from other queues (NCQ provides for 32
slots).

This new mechanism also counters actuator underutilization in the
case of asymmetric configurations of bfq_queues. Namely if there
are few bfq_queues containing I/O for some actuators and many
bfq_queues containing I/O for other actuators. Or if the
bfq_queues containing I/O for some actuators have lower weights
than the other bfq_queues.

Nit: instead of dereferencing bic->bfqq_data 3 times in this function,
what about adding a "bfqq_data = bic->bfqq_data" local variable ? That
would make the code more readable.

Same comment here, but given the number of times you dereference that
pointer in this function, I would consider that comment more than a nit here.

The same comment applies to many of the functions you modify after this hunk.

Subject: [PATCH V4 1/8] block, bfq: split sync bfq_queues on a per-actuator basis


This message has originated from an External Source. Please use proper judgment and caution when opening attachments, clicking links, or responding to this email.


Single-LUN multi-actuator SCSI drives, as well as all multi-actuator SATA drives appear as a single device to the I/O subsystem [1]. Yet they address commands to different actuators internally, as a function of Logical Block Addressing (LBAs). A given sector is reachable by only one of the actuators. For example, Seagate’s Serial Advanced Technology Attachment (SATA) version contains two actuators and maps the lower half of the SATA LBA space to the lower actuator and the upper half to the upper actuator.

Evidently, to fully utilize actuators, no actuator must be left idle or underutilized while there is pending I/O for it. The block layer must somehow control the load of each actuator individually. This commit lays the ground for allowing BFQ to provide such a per-actuator control.

BFQ associates an I/O-request sync bfq_queue with each process doing synchronous I/O, or with a group of processes, in case of queue merging. Then BFQ serves one bfq_queue at a time. While in service, a bfq_queue is emptied in request-position order. Yet the same process, or group of processes, may generate I/O for different actuators. In this case, different streams of I/O (each for a different actuator) get all inserted into the same sync bfq_queue. So there is basically no individual control on when each stream is served, i.e., on when the I/O requests of the stream are picked from the bfq_queue and dispatched to the drive.

This commit enables BFQ to control the service of each actuator individually for synchronous I/O, by simply splitting each sync bfq_queue into N queues, one for each actuator. In other words, a sync bfq_queue is now associated to a pair (process, actuator). As a consequence of this split, the per-queue proportional-share policy implemented by BFQ will guarantee that the sync I/O generated for each actuator, by each process, receives its fair share of service.

This is just a preparatory patch. If the I/O of the same process happens to be sent to different queues, then each of these queues may undergo queue merging. To handle this event, the bfq_io_cq data structure must be properly extended. In addition, stable merging must be disabled to avoid loss of control on individual actuators. Finally, also async queues must be split. These issues are described in detail and addressed in next commits. As for this commit, although multiple per-process bfq_queues are provided, the I/O of each process or group of processes is still sent to only one queue, regardless of the actuator the I/O is for. The forwarding to distinct bfq_queues will be enabled after addressing the above issues.

Ok, I'm about to post a V5, which hopefully also applies cleanly.

> Single-LUN multi-actuator SCSI drives, as well as all multi-actuator SATA drives appear as a single device to the I/O subsystem [1]. Yet they address commands to different actuators internally, as a function of Logical Block Addressing (LBAs). A given sector is reachable by only one of the actuators. For example, Seagate’s Serial Advanced Technology Attachment (SATA) version contains two actuators and maps the lower half of the SATA LBA space to the lower actuator and the upper half to the upper actuator.
>
> Evidently, to fully utilize actuators, no actuator must be left idle or underutilized while there is pending I/O for it. The block layer must somehow control the load of each actuator individually. This commit lays the ground for allowing BFQ to provide such a per-actuator control.
>
> BFQ associates an I/O-request sync bfq_queue with each process doing synchronous I/O, or with a group of processes, in case of queue merging. Then BFQ serves one bfq_queue at a time. While in service, a bfq_queue is emptied in request-position order. Yet the same process, or group of processes, may generate I/O for different actuators. In this case, different streams of I/O (each for a different actuator) get all inserted into the same sync bfq_queue. So there is basically no individual control on when each stream is served, i.e., on when the I/O requests of the stream are picked from the bfq_queue and dispatched to the drive.
>
> This commit enables BFQ to control the service of each actuator individually for synchronous I/O, by simply splitting each sync bfq_queue into N queues, one for each actuator. In other words, a sync bfq_queue is now associated to a pair (process, actuator). As a consequence of this split, the per-queue proportional-share policy implemented by BFQ will guarantee that the sync I/O generated for each actuator, by each process, receives its fair share of service.
>
> This is just a preparatory patch. If the I/O of the same process happens to be sent to different queues, then each of these queues may undergo queue merging. To handle this event, the bfq_io_cq data structure must be properly extended. In addition, stable merging must be disabled to avoid loss of control on individual actuators. Finally, also async queues must be split. These issues are described in detail and addressed in next commits. As for this commit, although multiple per-process bfq_queues are provided, the I/O of each process or group of processes is still sent to only one queue, regardless of the actuator the I/O is for. The forwarding to distinct bfq_queues will be enabled after addressing the above issues.
