[PATCH RFC 22/22] block, bfq: handle bursts of queue activations

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

 



From: Arianna Avanzini <avanzini.arianna@xxxxxxxxx>

Many popular I/O-intensive services or applications spawn or
reactivate many parallel threads/processes during short time
intervals. Examples are systemd during boot or git grep.  These
services or applications benefit mostly from a high throughput: the
quicker the I/O generated by their processes is cumulatively served,
the sooner the target job of these services or applications gets
completed. As a consequence, it is almost always counterproductive to
weight-raise any of the queues associated to the processes of these
services or applications: in most cases it would just lower the
throughput, mainly because weight-raising also implies device idling.

To address this issue, an I/O scheduler needs, first, to detect which
queues are associated with these services or applications. In this
respect, we have that, from the I/O-scheduler standpoint, these
services or applications cause bursts of activations, i.e.,
activations of different queues occurring shortly after each
other. However, a shorter burst of activations may be caused also by
the start of an application that does not consist in a lot of parallel
I/O-bound threads (see the comments on the function bfq_handle_burst
for details).

In view of these facts, this commit introduces:
1) an heuristic to detect (only) bursts of queue activations caused by
   services or applications consisting in many parallel I/O-bound
   threads;
2) the prevention of device idling and weight-raising for the queues
   belonging to these bursts.

+ * If many queues happen to become active shortly after each other, then,
+ * to help the processes associated to these queues get their job done as
+ * soon as possible, it is usually better to not grant either weight-raising
+ * or device idling to these queues. In this comment we describe, firstly,
+ * the reasons why this fact holds, and, secondly, the next function, which
+ * implements the main steps needed to properly mark these queues so that
+ * they can then be treated in a different way.
+ *
+ * As for the terminology, we say that a queue becomes active, i.e.,
+ * switches from idle to backlogged, either when it is created (as a
+ * consequence of the arrival of an I/O request), or, if already existing,
+ * when a new request for the queue arrives while the queue is idle.
+ * Bursts of activations, i.e., activations of different queues occurring
+ * shortly after each other, are typically caused by services or applications
+ * that spawn or reactivate many parallel threads/processes. Examples are
+ * systemd during boot or git grep.
+ *
+ * These services or applications benefit mostly from a high throughput:
+ * the quicker the requests of the activated queues are cumulatively served,
+ * the sooner the target job of these queues gets completed. As a consequence,
+ * weight-raising any of these queues, which also implies idling the device
+ * for it, is almost always counterproductive: in most cases it just lowers
+ * throughput.
+ *
+ * On the other hand, a burst of activations may be also caused by the start
+ * of an application that does not consist in a lot of parallel I/O-bound
+ * threads. In fact, with a complex application, the burst may be just a
+ * consequence of the fact that several processes need to be executed to
+ * start-up the application. To start an application as quickly as possible,
+ * the best thing to do is to privilege the I/O related to the application
+ * with respect to all other I/O. Therefore, the best strategy to start as
+ * quickly as possible an application that causes a burst of activations is
+ * to weight-raise all the queues activated during the burst. This is the
+ * exact opposite of the best strategy for the other type of bursts.
+ *
+ * In the end, to take the best action for each of the two cases, the two
+ * types of bursts need to be distinguished. Fortunately, this seems
+ * relatively easy to do, by looking at the sizes of the bursts. In
+ * particular, we found a threshold such that bursts with a larger size
+ * than that threshold are apparently caused only by services or commands
+ * such as systemd or git grep. For brevity, hereafter we call just 'large'
+ * these bursts. BFQ *does not* weight-raise queues whose activations occur
+ * in a large burst. In addition, for each of these queues BFQ performs or
+ * does not perform idling depending on which choice boosts the throughput
+ * most. The exact choice depends on the device and request pattern at
+ * hand.
+ *
+ * Turning back to the next function, it implements all the steps needed
+ * to detect the occurrence of a large burst and to properly mark all the
+ * queues belonging to it (so that they can then be treated in a different
+ * way). This goal is achieved by maintaining a special "burst list" that
+ * holds, temporarily, the queues that belong to the burst in progress. The
+ * list is then used to mark these queues as belonging to a large burst if
+ * the burst does become large. The main steps are the following.
+ *
+ * . when the very first queue is activated, the queue is inserted into the
+ *   list (as it could be the first queue in a possible burst)
+ *
+ * . if the current burst has not yet become large, and a queue Q that does
+ *   not yet belong to the burst is activated shortly after the last time
+ *   at which a new queue entered the burst list, then the function appends
+ *   Q to the burst list
+ *
+ * . if, as a consequence of the previous step, the burst size reaches
+ *   the large-burst threshold, then
+ *
+ *     . all the queues in the burst list are marked as belonging to a
+ *       large burst
+ *
+ *     . the burst list is deleted; in fact, the burst list already served
+ *       its purpose (keeping temporarily track of the queues in a burst,
+ *       so as to be able to mark them as belonging to a large burst in the
+ *       previous sub-step), and now is not needed any more
+ *
+ *     . the device enters a large-burst mode
+ *
+ * . if a queue Q that does not belong to the burst is activated while
+ *   the device is in large-burst mode and shortly after the last time
+ *   at which a queue either entered the burst list or was marked as
+ *   belonging to the current large burst, then Q is immediately marked
+ *   as belonging to a large burst.
+ *
+ * . if a queue Q that does not belong to the burst is activated a while
+ *   later, i.e., not shortly after, than the last time at which a queue
+ *   either entered the burst list or was marked as belonging to the
+ *   current large burst, then the current burst is deemed as finished and:
+ *
+ *        . the large-burst mode is reset if set
+ *
+ *        . the burst list is emptied
+ *
+ *        . Q is inserted in the burst list, as Q may be the first queue
+ *          in a possible new burst (then the burst list contains just Q
+ *          after this step).
