[PATCH RFC v2 00/12] Support throttle block filters

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



From: Chun Feng Wu <wucf@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Hi,

I am thinking to leverage "throttle block filter" in QEMU to support more flexible I/O limits(e.g. tiered I/O groups), one sample provided by QEMU doc is:
https://github.com/qemu/qemu/blob/master/docs/throttle.txt
"For example, let's say that we have three different drives and we want to set I/O limits for
each one of them and an additional set of limits for the combined I/O of all three drives."

The implementation idea is to 
- Define throttle groups(limit) in domain
- Define throttle filter to reference throttle group within disk
- Within domain disk, throttle filters references multiple throttle groups to form filter chain to apply multiple limits in QEMU like above sample
- Add new virsh cmds for throttle group management:
    throttlegroupset               Add or update a throttling group.
    throttlegroupdel               Delete a throttling group.
    throttlegroupinfo              Get a throttling group.
    throttlegrouplist              list all domain throttlegroups
- Update "attach-disk" to add one more option "--throttle-groups" to apply throttle filters e.g. "virsh attach-disk $VM_ID ${DISK_PATH}/vm1_disk_2.qcow2 vdd --driver qemu --subdriver qcow2 --targetbus virtio --throttle-groups limit2,limit012"
- I chose above semantics as I felt they're appropriate, if there are better ones please kindly suggest.


This patchset includes:
- Throttle group and throttle filter definition in patch 1
- New QMP processing to update and get throttle group in patch 2
- New API definition and implementation in patch 3
- QEMU driver implementation in patch 4
- Hotplug and qemuProcessLaunch flow implemenation in patch 5,6
- Domain XML schema and doc(formatdomain.rst) change in patch 7
- Tests in patch 8,9
- Virsh cmd implementation in patch 10
- Other verification implementation in patch 11, 12

v2 changes:
- fix failure caused by "check-remote_protocol" between patch 3 and patch 9 in v1
- make sure coding style is consistent about function declaration
- patch 3 in v1 is splitted into two commits: "remote: New APIs for ThrottleGroup lifecycle management" and "qemu: Implement qemu driver for throttle API"
- replace "// comment" with "/* comment */"
- avoid empty 'cleanup' labels
- use "virJSONValueObjectAdd(&limits, "P:name", value)" to avoid introducing extra helper, and check return value
- preserve spacing between blocks of code which are not related
- remove "VSH_OT_ALIAS" section for new cmds in virsh_domain.c


>From QMP perspective, the sample flow works this way: 
- Throttle group creation:

virsh qemu-monitor-command 1 '{"execute":"object-add", "arguments":{"qom-type":"throttle-group","id":"limit0","limits":{"iops-total":200,"iops-read":0,"iops-total-max":200,"iops-total-max-length":1}}}'

virsh qemu-monitor-command 1 '{"execute":"object-add", "arguments":{"qom-type":"throttle-group","id":"limit1","limits":{"iops-total":250,"iops-read":0,"iops-total-max":250,"iops-total-max-length":1}}}'

virsh qemu-monitor-command 1 '{"execute":"object-add", "arguments":{"qom-type":"throttle-group","id":"limit2","limits":{"iops-total":300,"iops-read":0,"iops-total-max":300,"iops-total-max-length":1}}}'

virsh qemu-monitor-command 1 '{"execute":"object-add", "arguments":{"qom-type":"throttle-group","id":"limit012","limits":{"iops-total":400,"iops-read":0,"iops-total-max":400,"iops-total-max-length":1}}}'

- Chain up filters during attaching disk to apply two filters(limit0 and limit012):

virsh qemu-monitor-command 1 '{"execute":"blockdev-add", "arguments":  {"driver":"file","filename":"/virt/disks/vm1_disk_1.qcow2","node-name":"test-3-storage","auto-read-only":true,"discard":"unmap"}}'
  
virsh qemu-monitor-command 1 '{"execute":"blockdev-add", "arguments":{"node-name":"test-3-format","read-only":false,"driver":"qcow2","file":"test-3-storage","backing":null}}'
  
virsh qemu-monitor-command 1 '{"execute":"blockdev-add", "arguments":{"driver":"throttle","node-name":"libvirt-5-filter","throttle-group": "limit0","file":"test-3-format"}}'

virsh qemu-monitor-command 1 '{"execute":"blockdev-add", "arguments": {"driver":"throttle","node-name":"libvirt-6-filter","throttle-group":"limit012","file":"libvirt-5-filter"}}'

virsh qemu-monitor-command 1 '{"execute": "device_add", "arguments": {"driver":"virtio-blk-pci","scsi":false,"bus":"pci.0","addr":"0x5","drive":"libvirt-6-filter","id":"virtio-disk1"}}'


Any comments/suggestions will be appriciated!
