On each IO completion, iocost decides whether the IO met or missed its latency target. Currently, the targets are fixed numbers per IO type. While this can be good enough for loose latency targets way higher than typical completion latencies, the effect of IO size makes it difficult to tighten the latency target - a target adequate for 4k IOs might be too tight for 512k IOs and vice-versa. iocost already has all the necessary information to account for different IO sizes when testing whether the latency target is met as iocost can calculate the size vtime cost of a given IO. This patch updates the completion path to calculate the size vtime cost of the IO, deduct the nsec equivalent from the observed latency and use the adjusted value to decide whether the target is met. This makes latency targets independent from IO size and enables determining adequate latency targets with fixed size fio runs.

The use_delay mechanism was introduced by blk-iolatency to hold memory allocators accountable for the reclaim and other shared IOs they cause. The duration of the delay is dynamically balanced between iolatency increasing the value on each target miss and it auto-decaying as time passes and threads get delayed on it. While this works well for iolatency, iocost's control model isn't compatible with it. There is no repeated "violation" events which can be balanced against auto-decaying. iocost instead knows how much a given cgroup is over budget and wants to prevent that cgroup from issuing IOs while over budget. Until now, iocost has been adding the cost of force-issued IOs. However, this doesn't reflect the amount which is already over budget and is simply not enough to counter the auto-decaying allowing anon-memory leaking low priority cgroup to go over its alloted share of IOs. As auto-decaying doesn't make much sense for iocost, this patch introduces a different mode of operation for use_delay - when blkcg_set_delay() are used insted of blkcg_add/use_delay(), the delay duration is not auto-decayed until it is explicitly cleared with blkcg_clear_delay(). iocost is updated to keep the delay duration synchronized to the budget overage amount. With this change, iocost can effectively police cgroups which generate significant amount of force-issued IOs.

Call blk_mq_make_request when no ->make_request_fn is set. This is safe now that blk_alloc_queue always sets up the pointer for make_request based drivers. This avoids an indirect call in the blk-mq driver I/O fast path, which is rather expensive due to spectre mitigations.

Flushes bypass the I/O scheduler and get added to hctx->dispatch in blk_mq_sched_bypass_insert. This can happen while a kworker is running hctx->run_work work item and is past the point in blk_mq_sched_dispatch_requests where hctx->dispatch is checked. The blk_mq_do_dispatch_sched call is not guaranteed to end in bounded time, because the I/O scheduler can feed an arbitrary number of commands. Since we have only one hctx->run_work, the commands waiting in hctx->dispatch will wait an arbitrary length of time for run_work to be rerun. A similar phenomenon exists with dispatches from the software queue. The solution is to poll hctx->dispatch in blk_mq_do_dispatch_sched and blk_mq_do_dispatch_ctx and return from the run_work handler and let it rerun.

This reverts commit 7e70aa78. Now that we have the patches ("blk-mq: In blk_mq_dispatch_rq_list() "no budget" is a reason to kick") and ("blk-mq: Rerun dispatching in the case of budget contention") we should no longer need the fix in the SCSI code. Revert it, resolving conflicts with other patches that have touched this code. With this revert (and the two new patches) I can run the script that was in commit 7e70aa78 ("scsi: core: run queue if SCSI device queue isn't ready and queue is idle") in a loop with no failure. If I do this revert without the two new patches I can easily get a failure. Signed-off-by: Douglas Anderson <dianders@chromium.org> Reviewed-by: Ming Lei <ming.lei@redhat.com> Acked-by: Martin K.

If ever a thread running blk-mq code tries to get budget and fails it immediately stops doing work and assumes that whenever budget is freed up that queues will be kicked and whatever work the thread was trying to do will be tried again. One path where budget is freed and queues are kicked in the normal case can be seen in scsi_finish_command(). Specifically: - scsi_finish_command() - scsi_device_unbusy() - # Decrement "device_busy", AKA release budget - scsi_io_completion() - scsi_end_request() - blk_mq_run_hw_queues() The above is all well and good. The problem comes up when a thread claims the budget but then releases it without actually dispatching any work. Since we didn't schedule any work we'll never run the path of finishing work / kicking the queues. This isn't often actually a problem which is why this issue has existed for a while and nobody noticed. Specifically we only get into this situation when we unexpectedly found that we weren't going to do any work. Code that later receives new work kicks the queues. All good, right? The problem shows up, however, if timing is just wrong and we hit a race. To see this race let's think about the case where we only have a budget of 1 (only one thread can hold budget). Now imagine that a thread got budget and then decided not to dispatch work. It's about to call put_budget() but then the thread gets context switched out for a long, long time. While in this state, any and all kicks of the queue (like the when we received new work) will be no-ops because nobody can get budget. Finally the thread holding budget gets to run again and returns. All the normal kicks will have been no-ops and we have an I/O stall. As you can see from the above, you need just the right timing to see the race. To start with, the only case it happens if we thought we had work, actually managed to get the budget, but then actually didn't have work. That's pretty rare to start with. Even then, there's usually a very small amount of time between realizing that there's no work and putting the budget. During this small amount of time new work has to come in and the queue kick has to make it all the way to trying to get the budget and fail. It's pretty unlikely. One case where this could have failed is illustrated by an example of threads running blk_mq_do_dispatch_sched(): * Threads A and B both run has_work() at the same time with the same "hctx". Imagine has_work() is exact. There's no lock, so it's OK if Thread A and B both get back true. * Thread B gets interrupted for a long time right after it decides that there is work. Maybe its CPU gets an interrupt and the interrupt handler is slow. * Thread A runs, get budget, dispatches work. * Thread A's work finishes and budget is released. * Thread B finally runs again and gets budget. * Since Thread A already took care of the work and no new work has come in, Thread B will get NULL from dispatch_request(). I believe this is specifically why dispatch_request() is allowed to return NULL in the first place if has_work() must be exact. * Thread B will now be holding the budget and is about to call put_budget(), but hasn't called it yet. * Thread B gets interrupted for a long time (again). Dang interrupts. * Now Thread C (maybe with a different "hctx" but the same queue) comes along and runs blk_mq_do_dispatch_sched(). * Thread C won't do anything because it can't get budget. * Finally Thread B will run again and put the budget without kicking any queues. Even though the example above is with blk_mq_do_dispatch_sched() I believe the race is possible any time someone is holding budget but doesn't do work. Unfortunately, the unlikely has become more likely if you happen to be using the BFQ I/O scheduler. BFQ, by design, sometimes returns "true" for has_work() but then NULL for dispatch_request() and stays in this state for a while (currently up to 9 ms). Suddenly you only need one race to hit, not two races in a row. With my current setup this is easy to reproduce in reboot tests and traces have actually shown that we hit a race similar to the one described above. Note that we only need to fix blk_mq_do_dispatch_sched() and blk_mq_do_dispatch_ctx() and not the other places that put budget. In other cases we know that we have work to do on at least one "hctx" and code already exists to kick that "hctx"'s queue. When that work finally finishes all the queues will be kicked using the normal flow. One last note is that (at least in the SCSI case) budget is shared by all "hctx"s that have the same queue. Thus we need to make sure to kick the whole queue, not just re-run dispatching on a single "hctx".

In blk_mq_dispatch_rq_list(), if blk_mq_sched_needs_restart() returns true and the driver returns BLK_STS_RESOURCE then we'll kick the queue. However, there's another case where we might need to kick it. If we were unable to get budget we can be in much the same state as when the driver returns BLK_STS_RESOURCE, so we should treat it the same. It should be noted that even if we add a whole bunch of extra kicking to the queue in other patches this patch is still important. Specifically any kicking that happened before we re-spliced leftover requests into 'hctx->dispatch' wouldn't have found any work, so we really need to make sure we kick ourselves after we've done the splicing.
