commit ad0d9e76(bcache: use bio op accessors) makes the bi_opf
modified by bio_set_op_attrs(). But there is a logical
problem in this commit:
trace_bcache_cache_insert(k);
bch_keylist_push(&op->insert_keys);
- n->bi_rw |= REQ_WRITE;
+ bio_set_op_attrs(n, REQ_OP_WRITE, 0);
bch_submit_bbio(n, op->c, k, 0);
} while (n != bio);
The old code add REQ_WRITE into bio n and keep other flags; the
new code set REQ_OP_WRITE to bi_opf, but reset all other flags.
This problem is discoverd in our performance testing:
(1) start a fio with 1M x 128depth for read in /dev/nvme0n1p1
(2) start a fio with 1M x 128depth for write in /dev/escache0 (cache
device is /dev/nvme0n1p2)
We found the BW of reading is 2000+M/s, but the BW of writing is
0-100M/s. After some debugging, we found the problem is io submit in
writting is very slow.
bch_data_insert_start() insert a bio to /dev/nvme0n1p1, but as
cached_dev submit stack bio will be added into current->bio_list, and
return.Then __submit_bio_noacct() will submit the new bio in bio_list
into /dev/nvme0n1p1. This operation would be slow in
blk_mq_submit_bio() -> rq_qos_throttle(q, bio);
The rq_qos_throttle() will call wbt_should_throttle(),
static inline bool wbt_should_throttle(struct rq_wb *rwb, struct bio *bio)
{
switch (bio_op(bio)) {
case REQ_OP_WRITE:
/*
* Don't throttle WRITE_ODIRECT
*/
if ((bio->bi_opf & (REQ_SYNC | REQ_IDLE)) ==
(REQ_SYNC | REQ_IDLE))
return false;
... ...
}
As the bio_set_op_attrs() reset the (REQ_SYNC | REQ_IDLE), so this write
bio will be considered as non-direct write.
After this fix, bio to nvme will flaged as (REQ_SYNC | REQ_IDLE),
then fio for writing will get about 1000M/s bandwidth.
