[PATCH V5] blk-mq: don't schedule block kworker on isolated CPUs

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

 



Kernel parameter of `isolcpus=` or 'nohz_full=' are used to isolate CPUs
for specific task, and it isn't expected to let block IO disturb these CPUs.
blk-mq kworker shouldn't be scheduled on isolated CPUs. Also if isolated
CPUs is run for blk-mq kworker, long block IO latency can be caused.

Kernel workqueue only respects CPU isolation for WQ_UNBOUND, for bound
WQ, the responsibility is on user because CPU is specified as WQ API
parameter, such as mod_delayed_work_on(cpu), queue_delayed_work_on(cpu)
and queue_work_on(cpu).

So not run blk-mq kworker on isolated CPUs by removing isolated CPUs
from hctx->cpumask. Meantime use queue map to check if all CPUs in this
hw queue are offline instead of hctx->cpumask, this way can avoid any
cost in fast IO code path, and is safe since hctx->cpumask are only
used in the two cases.

V5:
	- fix comment
	- add one helper for document benefit
	- all are suggested by Jens
V4:
	- improve comment & commit log as suggested by Tim
V3:
	- avoid to check invalid cpu as reported by Bart
	- take current cpu(to be offline, not done yet) into account
	- simplify blk_mq_hctx_has_online_cpu()

V2:
	- remove module parameter, meantime use queue map to check if
	all cpus in one hctx are offline
