blk-throttle: fix that io throttle can only work for single bio
Test scripts: cd /sys/fs/cgroup/blkio/ echo "8:0 1024" > blkio.throttle.write_bps_device echo $$ > cgroup.procs dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda bs=10k count=1 oflag=direct & dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda bs=10k count=1 oflag=direct & Test result: 10240 bytes (10 kB, 10 KiB) copied, 10.0134 s, 1.0 kB/s 10240 bytes (10 kB, 10 KiB) copied, 10.0135 s, 1.0 kB/s The problem is that the second bio is finished after 10s instead of 20s. Root cause: 1) second bio will be flagged: __blk_throtl_bio while (true) { ... if (sq->nr_queued[rw]) -> some bio is throttled already break }; bio_set_flag(bio, BIO_THROTTLED); -> flag the bio 2) flagged bio will be dispatched without waiting: throtl_dispatch_tg tg_may_dispatch tg_with_in_bps_limit if (bps_limit == U64_MAX || bio_flagged(bio, BIO_THROTTLED)) *wait = 0; -> wait time is zero return true; commit 9f5ede3c ("block: throttle split bio in case of iops limit") support to count split bios for iops limit, thus it adds flagged bio checking in tg_with_in_bps_limit() so that split bios will only count once for bps limit, however, it introduce a new problem that io throttle won't work if multiple bios are throttled. In order to fix the problem, handle iops/bps limit in different ways: 1) for iops limit, there is no flag to record if the bio is throttled, and iops is always applied. 2) for bps limit, original bio will be flagged with BIO_BPS_THROTTLED, and io throttle will ignore bio with the flag. Noted this patch also remove the code to set flag in __bio_clone(), it's introduced in commit 111be883 ("block-throttle: avoid double charge"), and author thinks split bio can be resubmited and throttled again, which is wrong because split bio will continue to dispatch from caller.
