Subject: [PATCH -next v5 4/8] 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 2
echo "8:0 1024" > blkio.throttle.write_bps_device
} &
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 4
echo "8:0 2048" > blkio.throttle.write_bps_device
} &
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

I agree these are consistent and correct times.

And the new implementation won't make it worse (in terms of delaying a
bio) than configuring minimal limits from the beginning, AFACT.

Here we may allow to dispatch a bio above current slice's
calculate_bytes_allowed() if bytes_skipped is already >0.

bytes_disp + bio_size <= calculate_bytes_allowed() + bytes_skipped

Then on the next update

the difference(s) here could be negative. bytes_skipped should be
reduced to account for the additionally dispatched bio.
This is all unsigned so negative numbers underflow, however, we add them
again to the unsigned, so thanks to modular arithmetics the result is
correctly updated bytes_skipped.

Maybe add a comment about this (unsigned) intention?

(But can this happen? The discussed bio would have to outrun another bio
(the one which defined the current slice_end) but since blk-throttle
uses queues (FIFO) everywhere this shouldn't really happen. But it's
good to know this works as intended.)

Hi, I don't expect that to happen. For example, if a bio is still
throttled, then old slice is keeped with proper 'bytes_skipped',
then new wait time is caculated based on (bio_size - bytes_skipped).

After the bio is dispatched(I assum that other bios can't preempt),
if new slice is started, then 'bytes_skipped' is cleared, there should
be no problem; If old slice is extended, note that we only wait
for 'bio_size - bytes_skipped' bytes, while 'bio_size' bytes is added
to 'tg->bytes_disp'. I think this will make sure new bio won't be
dispatched above slice.

What do you think?

With this assumptions it adds up as you write. I believe we're in
agreement.

It's the same assumption I made below (FIFO everywhere, i.e. no
reordering). So the discussed difference shouldn't really be negative
(and if the assumption didn't hold, so the modular arithmetic yields
corerct bytes_skipped value).

Yes, nice that we're in aggreement.

I'll wait to see if Tejun has any suggestions.

I flushed more emails from spam again. Please stop using the buggy

My apologize for that, I'm quite annoied that our IT still can't solve
