[PATCH 03/10] block, bfq: initialize bfqq->decrease_time_jif correctly

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

 



Currently, decrease_time_jif is initialized to 0 and will be updated in
function bfq_reset_inject_limit and bfq_update_inject_limit while these
two functions are called when jiffies pasts decrease_time_jif with some
extra time or think-time state changes. If jiffies is slightly larger
than MAX_JIFFY_OFFSET, it will take a long time to meet the first
condition. The second condition is heavily relies on process behavior. To
be more specific:

Function bfq_update_inject_limit maybe triggered when jiffies pasts
decrease_time_jif + msecs_to_jiffies(10) in bfq_add_request by setting
bfqd->wait_dispatch to true.

Function bfq_reset_inject_limit are called in two conditions:
1. jiffies pasts bfqq->decrease_time_jif + msecs_to_jiffies(1000) in
function bfq_add_request.
2. jiffies pasts bfqq->decrease_time_jif + msecs_to_jiffies(100) or
bfq think-time state change from short to long.

In worst case that jiffies is slightly larger than MAX_JIFFY_OFFSET
and think-time state never changes, the service injection may be not
triggered for a long time.

Fix this by initializing bfqq->decrease_time_jif to current jiffies
to trigger service injection soon when service injection conditions
are met.
