Hi, Vivek,
I tested the PATCH again for some basic hierarchical setup as I did
before.
Preparation
============
1) mount subsys blkio with "__DEVEL__sane_behavior"
2) Create 3 levels of directories under the blkio mount point:
mkdir 1
mkdir 1/2
mkdir 1/2/3
mkdir 4
3) start 4 bash sessions, write their PIDs into:
1/cgroup.procs
1/2/cgroup.procs
1/2/3/cgroup.procs
4/cgroup.procs
4) prepare 4 10MB files on sdb(ext4 fs)
Note: in below hierarchy graph:
"[50k]" means configured value for read_bps_device is 50kB/s
"[-]" means unlimit configured
"(50k)" means bandwidth reported by dd is 50kB/s
Test A: 1 process throttled by ancestor group
=============================================
Hierarchy set-up:
(echo "8:16 204800" > 1/blkio.throttle.read_bps_device)
|-- 1 [200k]
| `-- 2 [-]
| `-- 3 [-]
`-- 4 [-]
dd within group 3:
(drop cache then: dd if=10M-file-3 of=/dev/null)
Result:
205kB/s (I did same test without the token-bucket patch, The
result is also 205kB/s)
dd within group 2:
(drop cache then: dd if=10M-file-2 of=/dev/null)
Result:
205kB/s
Test B: 4 processes in 3 levels of hierarchy, group 1 unlimited
===============================================================
Hierarchy set-up:
echo "8:16 204800" > 1/blkio.throttle.read_bps_device
echo "8:16 102400" > 1/2/blkio.throttle.read_bps_device
echo "8:16 51200" > 1/2/3/blkio.throttle.read_bps_device
echo "8:16 51200" > 4/blkio.throttle.read_bps_device
|-- 1 [-]
| `-- 2 [100k]
| `-- 3 [50k]
`-- 4 [50k]
start 4 dd processes from 4 bash sessions
(dd if=10M-file-x of=/dev/null)
Result:
|-- 1 (171M)
| `-- 2 (51.9k)
| `-- 3 (51.2k)
`-- 4 (51.3k)
Test C: 4 processes in 3 levels of hierarchy
=============================================
Hierarchy set-up:
echo "8:16 204800" > 1/blkio.throttle.read_bps_device
echo "8:16 102400" > 1/2/blkio.throttle.read_bps_device
echo "8:16 51200" > 1/2/3/blkio.throttle.read_bps_device
echo "8:16 51200" > 4/blkio.throttle.read_bps_device
|-- 1 [200k]
| `-- 2 [100k]
| `-- 3 [50k]
`-- 4 [50k]
write 10M-file-1 to 20M, others still 10M, so 4 dd processes
take similar time.
start 4 dd processes from 4 bash sessions
(dd if=10M-file-x of=/dev/null)
Result:
|-- 1 (104k)
| `-- 2 (52.8k)
| `-- 3 (51.1k)
`-- 4 (51.4k)
