Hello Guys, Lining reported that iops limit throttle doesn't work on dm-thin, also iops limit throttle works bad on plain disk in case of excessive split. Commit 4f1e9630afe6 ("blk-throtl: optimize IOPS throttle for large IO scenarios") was for addressing this issue, but the taken approach is just to run post-accounting, then current split bios won't be throttled actually, so actual iops throttle result isn't good in case of excessive bio splitting. The 1st three patches are cleanup. The 4th patches add one new local helper of submit_bio_noacct_nocheck() for blk_throtl_dispatch_work_fn(), so that bios won't be throttled any more when blk-throttle code dispatches throttled bios. The 5th patch merges merge submit_bio_checks() into submit_bio_noacct as suggested by Christoph. The 6th and 7th patch makes the real difference for throttling split bio wrt. iops limit. The last patch is to revert commit 4f1e9630afe6 ("blk-throtl: optimize IOPS throttle for large IO scenarios"). Ning Li has verified that iops throttle is improved much on the posted RFC V1 version. V4: - remove wrapper in 4/8 - early return in 5/8 V3: - add reviewed-by/acked-by tag - patch style change 2/8 - mark submit_bio_checks as static 3/8 - move ubmit_bio_checks() into submit_bio_noacct 5/8 V2: - remove RFC - don't add/export __submit_bio_noacct(), instead add one new local helper of submit_bio_noacct_nocheck() per Christoph's suggestion Ming Lei (8): block: move submit_bio_checks() into submit_bio_noacct block: move blk_crypto_bio_prep() out of blk-mq.c block: don't declare submit_bio_checks in local header block: don't check bio in blk_throtl_dispatch_work_fn block: merge submit_bio_checks() into submit_bio_noacct block: throttle split bio in case of iops limit block: don't try to throttle split bio if iops limit isn't set block: revert 4f1e9630afe6 ("blk-throtl: optimize IOPS throttle for large IO scenarios") block/blk-core.c | 248 +++++++++++++++++++++---------------------- block/blk-merge.c | 2 - block/blk-mq.c | 3 - block/blk-throttle.c | 61 ++++------- block/blk-throttle.h | 16 +-- block/blk.h | 2 +- 6 files changed, 153 insertions(+), 179 deletions(-) -- 2.31.1
