writeback: switch to per-bdi threads for flushing data This gets rid of pdflush for bdi writeout and kupdated style cleaning. pdflush writeout suffers from lack of locality and also requires more threads to handle the same workload, since it has to work in a non-blocking fashion against each queue. This also introduces lumpy behaviour and potential request starvation, since pdflush can be starved for queue access if others are accessing it. A sample ffsb workload that does random writes to files is about 8% faster here on a simple SATA drive during the benchmark phase. File layout also seems a LOT more smooth in vmstat: r b swpd free buff cache si so bi bo in cs us sy id wa 0 1 0 608848 2652 375372 0 0 0 71024 604 24 1 10 48 42 0 1 0 549644 2712 433736 0 0 0 60692 505 27 1 8 48 44 1 0 0 476928 2784 505192 0 0 4 29540 553 24 0 9 53 37 0 1 0 457972 2808 524008 0 0 0 54876 331 16 0 4 38 58 0 1 0 366128 2928 614284 0 0 4 92168 710 58 0 13 53 34 0 1 0 295092 3000 684140 0 0 0 62924 572 23 0 9 53 37 0 1 0 236592 3064 741704 0 0 4 58256 523 17 0 8 48 44 0 1 0 165608 3132 811464 0 0 0 57460 560 21 0 8 54 38 0 1 0 102952 3200 873164 0 0 4 74748 540 29 1 10 48 41 0 1 0 48604 3252 926472 0 0 0 53248 469 29 0 7 47 45 where vanilla tends to fluctuate a lot in the creation phase: r b swpd free buff cache si so bi bo in cs us sy id wa 1 1 0 678716 5792 303380 0 0 0 74064 565 50 1 11 52 36 1 0 0 662488 5864 319396 0 0 4 352 302 329 0 2 47 51 0 1 0 599312 5924 381468 0 0 0 78164 516 55 0 9 51 40 0 1 0 519952 6008 459516 0 0 4 78156 622 56 1 11 52 37 1 1 0 436640 6092 541632 0 0 0 82244 622 54 0 11 48 41 0 1 0 436640 6092 541660 0 0 0 8 152 39 0 0 51 49 0 1 0 332224 6200 644252 0 0 4 102800 728 46 1 13 49 36 1 0 0 274492 6260 701056 0 0 4 12328 459 49 0 7 50 43 0 1 0 211220 6324 763356 0 0 0 106940 515 37 1 10 51 39 1 0 0 160412 6376 813468 0 0 0 8224 415 43 0 6 49 45 1 1 0 85980 6452 886556 0 0 4 113516 575 39 1 11 54 34 0 2 0 85968 6452 886620 0 0 0 1640 158 211 0 0 46 54 A 10 disk test with btrfs performs 26% faster with per-bdi flushing.

writeback: replace custom worker pool implementation with unbound workqueue Writeback implements its own worker pool - each bdi can be associated with a worker thread which is created and destroyed dynamically. The worker thread for the default bdi is always present and serves as the "forker" thread which forks off worker threads for other bdis. there's no reason for writeback to implement its own worker pool when using unbound workqueue instead is much simpler and more efficient. This patch replaces custom worker pool implementation in writeback with an unbound workqueue. The conversion isn't too complicated but the followings are worth mentioning. * bdi_writeback->last_active, task and wakeup_timer are removed. delayed_work ->dwork is added instead. Explicit timer handling is no longer necessary. Everything works by either queueing / modding / flushing / canceling the delayed_work item. * bdi_writeback_thread() becomes bdi_writeback_workfn() which runs off bdi_writeback->dwork. On each execution, it processes bdi->work_list and reschedules itself if there are more things to do. The function also handles low-mem condition, which used to be handled by the forker thread. If the function is running off a rescuer thread, it only writes out limited number of pages so that the rescuer can serve other bdis too. This preserves the flusher creation failure behavior of the forker thread. * INIT_LIST_HEAD(&bdi->bdi_list) is used to tell bdi_writeback_workfn() about on-going bdi unregistration so that it always drains work_list even if it's running off the rescuer. Note that the original code was broken in this regard. Under memory pressure, a bdi could finish unregistration with non-empty work_list. * The default bdi is no longer special. It now is treated the same as any other bdi and bdi_cap_flush_forker() is removed. * BDI_pending is no longer used. Removed. * Some tracepoints become non-applicable. The following TPs are removed - writeback_nothread, writeback_wake_thread, writeback_wake_forker_thread, writeback_thread_start, writeback_thread_stop. Everything, including devices coming and going away and rescuer operation under simulated memory pressure, seems to work fine in my test setup.

writeback: split inode_wb_list_lock into bdi_writeback.list_lock Split the global inode_wb_list_lock into a per-bdi_writeback list_lock, as it's currently the most contended lock in the system for metadata heavy workloads.

writeback: move bandwidth related fields from backing_dev_info into bdi_writeback Currently, a bdi (backing_dev_info) embeds single wb (bdi_writeback) and the role of the separation is unclear. For cgroup support for writeback IOs, a bdi will be updated to host multiple wb's where each wb serves writeback IOs of a different cgroup on the bdi. To achieve that, a wb should carry all states necessary for servicing writeback IOs for a cgroup independently. This patch moves bandwidth related fields from backing_dev_info into bdi_writeback. * The moved fields are: bw_time_stamp, dirtied_stamp, written_stamp, write_bandwidth, avg_write_bandwidth, dirty_ratelimit, balanced_dirty_ratelimit, completions and dirty_exceeded. * writeback_chunk_size() and over_bground_thresh() now take @wb instead of @bdi. * bdi_writeout_fraction(bdi, ...) -> wb_writeout_fraction(wb, ...) bdi_dirty_limit(bdi, ...) -> wb_dirty_limit(wb, ...) bdi_position_ration(bdi, ...) -> wb_position_ratio(wb, ...) bdi_update_writebandwidth(bdi, ...) -> wb_update_write_bandwidth(wb, ...) [__]bdi_update_bandwidth(bdi, ...) -> [__]wb_update_bandwidth(wb, ...) bdi_{max|min}_pause(bdi, ...) -> wb_{max|min}_pause(wb, ...) bdi_dirty_limits(bdi, ...) -> wb_dirty_limits(wb, ...) * Init/exits of the relocated fields are moved to bdi_wb_init/exit() respectively. Note that explicit zeroing is dropped in the process as wb's are cleared in entirety anyway. * As there's still only one bdi_writeback per backing_dev_info, all uses of bdi->stat[] are mechanically replaced with bdi->wb.stat[] introducing no behavior changes. v2: Typo in description fixed as suggested by Jan.

bdi: allow block devices to say that they require stable page writes This patchset ("stable page writes, part 2") makes some key modifications to the original 'stable page writes' patchset. First, it provides creators (devices and filesystems) of a backing_dev_info a flag that declares whether or not it is necessary to ensure that page contents cannot change during writeout. It is no longer assumed that this is true of all devices (which was never true anyway). Second, the flag is used to relaxed the wait_on_page_writeback calls so that wait only occurs if the device needs it. Third, it fixes up the remaining disk-backed filesystems to use this improved conditional-wait logic to provide stable page writes on those filesystems. It is hoped that (for people not using checksumming devices, anyway) this patchset will give back unnecessary performance decreases since the original stable page write patchset went into 3.0. Sorry about not fixing it sooner. Complaints were registered by several people about the long write latencies introduced by the original stable page write patchset. Generally speaking, the kernel ought to allocate as little extra memory as possible to facilitate writeout, but for people who simply cannot wait, a second page stability strategy is (re)introduced: snapshotting page contents. The waiting behavior is still the default strategy; to enable page snapshotting, a superblock flag (MS_SNAP_STABLE) must be set. This flag is used to bandaid^Henable stable page writeback on ext3[1], and is not used anywhere else. Given that there are already a few storage devices and network FSes that have rolled their own page stability wait/page snapshot code, it would be nice to move towards consolidating all of these. It seems possible that iscsi and raid5 may wish to use the new stable page write support to enable zero-copy writeout. Thank you to Jan Kara for helping fix a couple more filesystems. Per Andrew Morton's request, here are the result of using dbench to measure latencies on ext2: 3.8.0-rc3: Operation Count AvgLat MaxLat ---------------------------------------- WriteX 109347 0.028 59.817 ReadX 347180 0.004 3.391 Flush 15514 29.828 287.283 Throughput 57.429 MB/sec 4 clients 4 procs max_latency=287.290 ms 3.8.0-rc3 + patches: WriteX 105556 0.029 4.273 ReadX 335004 0.005 4.112 Flush 14982 30.540 298.634 Throughput 55.4496 MB/sec 4 clients 4 procs max_latency=298.650 ms As you can see, for ext2 the maximum write latency decreases from ~60ms on a laptop hard disk to ~4ms. I'm not sure why the flush latencies increase, though I suspect that being able to dirty pages faster gives the flusher more work to do. On ext4, the average write latency decreases as well as all the maximum latencies: 3.8.0-rc3: WriteX 85624 0.152 33.078 ReadX 272090 0.010 61.210 Flush 12129 36.219 168.260 Throughput 44.8618 MB/sec 4 clients 4 procs max_latency=168.276 ms 3.8.0-rc3 + patches: WriteX 86082 0.141 30.928 ReadX 273358 0.010 36.124 Flush 12214 34.800 165.689 Throughput 44.9941 MB/sec 4 clients 4 procs max_latency=165.722 ms XFS seems to exhibit similar latency improvements as ext2: 3.8.0-rc3: WriteX 125739 0.028 104.343 ReadX 399070 0.005 4.115 Flush 17851 25.004 131.390 Throughput 66.0024 MB/sec 4 clients 4 procs max_latency=131.406 ms 3.8.0-rc3 + patches: WriteX 123529 0.028 6.299 ReadX 392434 0.005 4.287 Flush 17549 25.120 188.687 Throughput 64.9113 MB/sec 4 clients 4 procs max_latency=188.704 ms ...and btrfs, just to round things out, also shows some latency decreases: 3.8.0-rc3: WriteX 67122 0.083 82.355 ReadX 212719 0.005 2.828 Flush 9547 47.561 147.418 Throughput 35.3391 MB/sec 4 clients 4 procs max_latency=147.433 ms 3.8.0-rc3 + patches: WriteX 64898 0.101 71.631 ReadX 206673 0.005 7.123 Flush 9190 47.963 219.034 Throughput 34.0795 MB/sec 4 clients 4 procs max_latency=219.044 ms Before this patchset, all filesystems would block, regardless of whether or not it was necessary. ext3 would wait, but still generate occasional checksum errors. The network filesystems were left to do their own thing, so they'd wait too. After this patchset, all the disk filesystems except ext3 and btrfs will wait only if the hardware requires it. ext3 (if necessary) snapshots pages instead of blocking, and btrfs provides its own bdi so the mm will never wait. Network filesystems haven't been touched, so either they provide their own wait code, or they don't block at all. The blocking behavior is back to what it was before 3.0 if you don't have a disk requiring stable page writes. This patchset has been tested on 3.8.0-rc3 on x64 with ext3, ext4, and xfs. I've spot-checked 3.8.0-rc4 and seem to be getting the same results as -rc3. [1] The alternative fixes to ext3 include fixing the locking order and page bit handling like we did for ext4 (but then why not just use ext4?), or setting PG_writeback so early that ext3 becomes extremely slow. I tried that, but the number of write()s I could initiate dropped by nearly an order of magnitude. That was a bit much even for the author of the stable page series! :) This patch: Creates a per-backing-device flag that tracks whether or not pages must be held immutable during writeout. Eventually it will be used to waive wait_for_page_writeback() if nothing requires stable pages. Signed-off-by: Darrick J.

writeback: replace custom worker pool implementation with unbound workqueue Writeback implements its own worker pool - each bdi can be associated with a worker thread which is created and destroyed dynamically.

This patch replaces custom worker pool implementation in writeback with an unbound workqueue. The conversion isn't too complicated but the followings are worth mentioning. * bdi_writeback->last_active, task and wakeup_timer are removed. delayed_work ->dwork is added instead. Explicit timer handling is no longer necessary. Everything works by either queueing / modding / flushing / canceling the delayed_work item. * bdi_writeback_thread() becomes bdi_writeback_workfn() which runs off bdi_writeback->dwork. On each execution, it processes bdi->work_list and reschedules itself if there are more things to do. The function also handles low-mem condition, which used to be handled by the forker thread. If the function is running off a rescuer thread, it only writes out limited number of pages so that the rescuer can serve other bdis too. This preserves the flusher creation failure behavior of the forker thread. * INIT_LIST_HEAD(&bdi->bdi_list) is used to tell bdi_writeback_workfn() about on-going bdi unregistration so that it always drains work_list even if it's running off the rescuer. Note that the original code was broken in this regard. Under memory pressure, a bdi could finish unregistration with non-empty work_list. * The default bdi is no longer special. It now is treated the same as any other bdi and bdi_cap_flush_forker() is removed. * BDI_pending is no longer used. Removed. * Some tracepoints become non-applicable. The following TPs are removed - writeback_nothread, writeback_wake_thread, writeback_wake_forker_thread, writeback_thread_start, writeback_thread_stop.

It now is treated the same as any other bdi and bdi_cap_flush_forker() is removed. * BDI_pending is no longer used. Removed. * Some tracepoints become non-applicable. The following TPs are removed - writeback_nothread, writeback_wake_thread, writeback_wake_forker_thread, writeback_thread_start, writeback_thread_stop. Everything, including devices coming and going away and rescuer operation under simulated memory pressure, seems to work fine in my test setup.

* This function is used when the first inode for this wb is marked dirty. It
* wakes-up the corresponding bdi thread which should then take care of the
* periodic background write-out of dirty inodes. Since the write-out would
* starts only 'dirty_writeback_interval' centisecs from now anyway, we just
* set up a timer which wakes the bdi thread up later.
*
* Note, we wouldn't bother setting up the timer, but this function is on the
* fast-path (used by '__mark_inode_dirty()'), so we save few context switches
* by delaying the wake-up.
backing_dev: fix hung task on sync bdi_wakeup_thread_delayed() used the mod_delayed_work() function to schedule work to writeback dirty inodes. The problem with this is that it can delay work that is scheduled for immediate execution, such as the work from sync_inodes_sb(). This can happen since mod_delayed_work() can now steal work from a work_queue. This fixes the problem by using queue_delayed_work() instead. This is a regression caused by commit 839a8e8660b6 ("writeback: replace custom worker pool implementation with unbound workqueue"). The reason that this causes a problem is that laptop-mode will change the delay, dirty_writeback_centisecs, to 60000 (10 minutes) by default. In the case that bdi_wakeup_thread_delayed() races with sync_inodes_sb(), sync will be stopped for 10 minutes and trigger a hung task. Even if dirty_writeback_centisecs is not long enough to cause a hung task, we still don't want to delay sync for that long. We fix the problem by using queue_delayed_work() when we want to schedule writeback sometime in future. This function doesn't change the timer if it is already armed. For the same reason, we also change bdi_writeback_workfn() to immediately queue the work again in the case that the work_list is not empty. The same problem can happen if the sync work is run on the rescue worker.

writeback: switch to per-bdi threads for flushing data This gets rid of pdflush for bdi writeout and kupdated style cleaning. pdflush writeout suffers from lack of locality and also requires more threads to handle the same workload, since it has to work in a non-blocking fashion against each queue. This also introduces lumpy behaviour and potential request starvation, since pdflush can be starved for queue access if others are accessing it. A sample ffsb workload that does random writes to files is about 8% faster here on a simple SATA drive during the benchmark phase. File layout also seems a LOT more smooth in vmstat: r b swpd free buff cache si so bi bo in cs us sy id wa 0 1 0 608848 2652 375372 0 0 0 71024 604 24 1 10 48 42 0 1 0 549644 2712 433736 0 0 0 60692 505 27 1 8 48 44 1 0 0 476928 2784 505192 0 0 4 29540 553 24 0 9 53 37 0 1 0 457972 2808 524008 0 0 0 54876 331 16 0 4 38 58 0 1 0 366128 2928 614284 0 0 4 92168 710 58 0 13 53 34 0 1 0 295092 3000 684140 0 0 0 62924 572 23 0 9 53 37 0 1 0 236592 3064 741704 0 0 4 58256 523 17 0 8 48 44 0 1 0 165608 3132 811464 0 0 0 57460 560 21 0 8 54 38 0 1 0 102952 3200 873164 0 0 4 74748 540 29 1 10 48 41 0 1 0 48604 3252 926472 0 0 0 53248 469 29 0 7 47 45 where vanilla tends to fluctuate a lot in the creation phase: r b swpd free buff cache si so bi bo in cs us sy id wa 1 1 0 678716 5792 303380 0 0 0 74064 565 50 1 11 52 36 1 0 0 662488 5864 319396 0 0 4 352 302 329 0 2 47 51 0 1 0 599312 5924 381468 0 0 0 78164 516 55 0 9 51 40 0 1 0 519952 6008 459516 0 0 4 78156 622 56 1 11 52 37 1 1 0 436640 6092 541632 0 0 0 82244 622 54 0 11 48 41 0 1 0 436640 6092 541660 0 0 0 8 152 39 0 0 51 49 0 1 0 332224 6200 644252 0 0 4 102800 728 46 1 13 49 36 1 0 0 274492 6260 701056 0 0 4 12328 459 49 0 7 50 43 0 1 0 211220 6324 763356 0 0 0 106940 515 37 1 10 51 39 1 0 0 160412 6376 813468 0 0 0 8224 415 43 0 6 49 45 1 1 0 85980 6452 886556 0 0 4 113516 575 39 1 11 54 34 0 2 0 85968 6452 886620 0 0 0 1640 158 211 0 0 46 54 A 10 disk test with btrfs performs 26% faster with per-bdi flushing.

writeback: don't embed root bdi_writeback_congested in bdi_writeback 52ebea749aae ("writeback: make backing_dev_info host cgroup-specific bdi_writebacks") made bdi (backing_dev_info) host per-cgroup wb's (bdi_writeback's). As the congested state needs to be per-wb and referenced from blkcg side and multiple wbs, the patch made all non-root cong's (bdi_writeback_congested's) reference counted and indexed on bdi. When a bdi is destroyed, cgwb_bdi_destroy() tries to drain all non-root cong's; however, this can hang indefinitely because wb's can also be referenced from blkcg_gq's which are destroyed after bdi destruction is complete. To fix the bug, bdi destruction will be updated to not wait for cong's to drain, which naturally means that cong's may outlive the associated bdi. This is fine for non-root cong's but is problematic for the root cong's which are embedded in their bdi's as they may end up getting dereferenced after the containing bdi's are freed. This patch makes root cong's behave the same as non-root cong's. They are no longer embedded in their bdi's but allocated separately during bdi initialization, indexed and reference counted the same way. * As cong handling is the same for all wb's, wb->congested initialization is moved into wb_init(). * When !CONFIG_CGROUP_WRITEBACK, there was no indexing or refcnting. bdi->wb_congested is now a pointer pointing to the root cong allocated during bdi init and minimal refcnting operations are implemented. * The above makes root wb init paths diverge depending on CONFIG_CGROUP_WRITEBACK. root wb init is moved to cgwb_bdi_init(). This patch in itself shouldn't cause any consequential behavior differences but prepares for the actual fix.

This patch moves bandwidth related fields from backing_dev_info into bdi_writeback. * The moved fields are: bw_time_stamp, dirtied_stamp, written_stamp, write_bandwidth, avg_write_bandwidth, dirty_ratelimit, balanced_dirty_ratelimit, completions and dirty_exceeded. * writeback_chunk_size() and over_bground_thresh() now take @wb instead of @bdi. * bdi_writeout_fraction(bdi, ...) -> wb_writeout_fraction(wb, ...) bdi_dirty_limit(bdi, ...) -> wb_dirty_limit(wb, ...) bdi_position_ration(bdi, ...) -> wb_position_ratio(wb, ...) bdi_update_writebandwidth(bdi, ...) -> wb_update_write_bandwidth(wb, ...)

Note that explicit zeroing is dropped in the process as wb's are cleared in entirety anyway. * As there's still only one bdi_writeback per backing_dev_info, all uses of bdi->stat[] are mechanically replaced with bdi->wb.stat[] introducing no behavior changes. v2: Typo in description fixed as suggested by Jan.

writeback: move backing_dev_info->wb_lock and ->worklist into bdi_writeback Currently, a bdi (backing_dev_info) embeds single wb (bdi_writeback) and the role of the separation is unclear. For cgroup support for writeback IOs, a bdi will be updated to host multiple wb's where each wb serves writeback IOs of a different cgroup on the bdi. To achieve that, a wb should carry all states necessary for servicing writeback IOs for a cgroup independently. This patch moves bdi->wb_lock and ->worklist into wb. * The lock protects bdi->worklist and bdi->wb.dwork scheduling. While moving, rename it to wb->work_lock as wb->wb_lock is confusing. Also, move wb->dwork downwards so that it's colocated with the new ->work_lock and ->work_list fields. * bdi_writeback_workfn() -> wb_workfn() bdi_wakeup_thread_delayed(bdi) -> wb_wakeup_delayed(wb) bdi_wakeup_thread(bdi) -> wb_wakeup(wb) bdi_queue_work(bdi, ...) -> wb_queue_work(wb, ...) __bdi_start_writeback(bdi, ...) -> __wb_start_writeback(wb, ...) get_next_work_item(bdi) -> get_next_work_item(wb) * bdi_wb_shutdown() is renamed to wb_shutdown() and now takes @wb. The function contained parts which belong to the containing bdi rather than the wb itself - testing cap_writeback_dirty and bdi_remove_from_list() invocation. Those are moved to bdi_unregister(). * bdi_wb_{init|exit}() are renamed to wb_{init|exit}(). Initializations of the moved bdi->wb_lock and ->work_list are relocated from bdi_init() to wb_init(). * As there's still only one bdi_writeback per backing_dev_info, all uses of bdi->state are mechanically replaced with bdi->wb.state introducing no behavior changes.

writeback: don't embed root bdi_writeback_congested in bdi_writeback 52ebea749aae ("writeback: make backing_dev_info host cgroup-specific bdi_writebacks") made bdi (backing_dev_info) host per-cgroup wb's (bdi_writeback's). As the congested state needs to be per-wb and referenced from blkcg side and multiple wbs, the patch made all non-root cong's (bdi_writeback_congested's) reference counted and indexed on bdi. When a bdi is destroyed, cgwb_bdi_destroy() tries to drain all non-root cong's; however, this can hang indefinitely because wb's can also be referenced from blkcg_gq's which are destroyed after bdi destruction is complete. To fix the bug, bdi destruction will be updated to not wait for cong's to drain, which naturally means that cong's may outlive the associated bdi. This is fine for non-root cong's but is problematic for the root cong's which are embedded in their bdi's as they may end up getting dereferenced after the containing bdi's are freed.

writeback: switch to per-bdi threads for flushing data This gets rid of pdflush for bdi writeout and kupdated style cleaning. pdflush writeout suffers from lack of locality and also requires more threads to handle the same workload, since it has to work in a non-blocking fashion against each queue. This also introduces lumpy behaviour and potential request starvation, since pdflush can be starved for queue access if others are accessing it.

writeback: switch to per-bdi threads for flushing data This gets rid of pdflush for bdi writeout and kupdated style cleaning. pdflush writeout suffers from lack of locality and also requires more threads to handle the same workload, since it has to work in a non-blocking fashion against each queue.

writeback: don't embed root bdi_writeback_congested in bdi_writeback 52ebea749aae ("writeback: make backing_dev_info host cgroup-specific bdi_writebacks") made bdi (backing_dev_info) host per-cgroup wb's (bdi_writeback's). As the congested state needs to be per-wb and referenced from blkcg side and multiple wbs, the patch made all non-root cong's (bdi_writeback_congested's) reference counted and indexed on bdi. When a bdi is destroyed, cgwb_bdi_destroy() tries to drain all non-root cong's; however, this can hang indefinitely because wb's can also be referenced from blkcg_gq's which are destroyed after bdi destruction is complete. To fix the bug, bdi destruction will be updated to not wait for cong's to drain, which naturally means that cong's may outlive the associated bdi. This is fine for non-root cong's but is problematic for the root cong's which are embedded in their bdi's as they may end up getting dereferenced after the containing bdi's are freed. This patch makes root cong's behave the same as non-root cong's. They are no longer embedded in their bdi's but allocated separately during bdi initialization, indexed and reference counted the same way. * As cong handling is the same for all wb's, wb->congested initialization is moved into wb_init(). * When !CONFIG_CGROUP_WRITEBACK, there was no indexing or refcnting. bdi->wb_congested is now a pointer pointing to the root cong allocated during bdi init and minimal refcnting operations are implemented. * The above makes root wb init paths diverge depending on CONFIG_CGROUP_WRITEBACK. root wb init is moved to cgwb_bdi_init(). This patch in itself shouldn't cause any consequential behavior differences but prepares for the actual fix.

writeback: bdi write bandwidth estimation The estimation value will start from 100MB/s and adapt to the real bandwidth in seconds. It tries to update the bandwidth only when disk is fully utilized. Any inactive period of more than one second will be skipped. The estimated bandwidth will be reflecting how fast the device can writeout when _fully utilized_, and won't drop to 0 when it goes idle. The value will remain constant at disk idle time. At busy write time, if not considering fluctuations, it will also remain high unless be knocked down by possible concurrent reads that compete for the disk time and bandwidth with async writes. The estimation is not done purely in the flusher because there is no guarantee for write_cache_pages() to return timely to update bandwidth. The bdi->avg_write_bandwidth smoothing is very effective for filtering out sudden spikes, however may be a little biased in long term. The overheads are low because the bdi bandwidth update only occurs at 200ms intervals. The 200ms update interval is suitable, because it's not possible to get the real bandwidth for the instance at all, due to large fluctuations. The NFS commits can be as large as seconds worth of data. One XFS completion may be as large as half second worth of data if we are going to increase the write chunk to half second worth of data. In ext4, fluctuations with time period of around 5 seconds is observed. And there is another pattern of irregular periods of up to 20 seconds on SSD tests. That's why we are not only doing the estimation at 200ms intervals, but also averaging them over a period of 3 seconds and then go further to do another level of smoothing in avg_write_bandwidth.

writeback: make backing_dev_info host cgroup-specific bdi_writebacks For the planned cgroup writeback support, on each bdi (backing_dev_info), each memcg will be served by a separate wb (bdi_writeback). This patch updates bdi so that a bdi can host multiple wbs (bdi_writebacks). On the default hierarchy, blkcg implicitly enables memcg. This allows using memcg's page ownership for attributing writeback IOs, and every memcg - blkcg combination can be served by its own wb by assigning a dedicated wb to each memcg. This means that there may be multiple wb's of a bdi mapped to the same blkcg. As congested state is per blkcg - bdi combination, those wb's should share the same congested state. This is achieved by tracking congested state via bdi_writeback_congested structs which are keyed by blkcg. bdi->wb remains unchanged and will keep serving the root cgroup. cgwb's (cgroup wb's) for non-root cgroups are created on-demand or looked up while dirtying an inode according to the memcg of the page being dirtied or current task. Each cgwb is indexed on bdi->cgwb_tree by its memcg id. Once an inode is associated with its wb, it can be retrieved using inode_to_wb(). Currently, none of the filesystems has FS_CGROUP_WRITEBACK and all pages will keep being associated with bdi->wb. v3: inode_attach_wb() in account_page_dirtied() moved inside mapping_cap_account_dirty() block where it's known to be !NULL. Also, an unnecessary NULL check before kfree() removed. Both detected by the kbuild bot. v2: Updated so that wb association is per inode and wb is per memcg rather than blkcg.

writeback: don't embed root bdi_writeback_congested in bdi_writeback 52ebea749aae ("writeback: make backing_dev_info host cgroup-specific bdi_writebacks") made bdi (backing_dev_info) host per-cgroup wb's (bdi_writeback's). As the congested state needs to be per-wb and referenced from blkcg side and multiple wbs, the patch made all non-root cong's (bdi_writeback_congested's) reference counted and indexed on bdi. When a bdi is destroyed, cgwb_bdi_destroy() tries to drain all non-root cong's; however, this can hang indefinitely because wb's can also be referenced from blkcg_gq's which are destroyed after bdi destruction is complete. To fix the bug, bdi destruction will be updated to not wait for cong's to drain, which naturally means that cong's may outlive the associated bdi. This is fine for non-root cong's but is problematic for the root cong's which are embedded in their bdi's as they may end up getting dereferenced after the containing bdi's are freed. This patch makes root cong's behave the same as non-root cong's. They are no longer embedded in their bdi's but allocated separately during bdi initialization, indexed and reference counted the same way. * As cong handling is the same for all wb's, wb->congested initialization is moved into wb_init(). * When !CONFIG_CGROUP_WRITEBACK, there was no indexing or refcnting. bdi->wb_congested is now a pointer pointing to the root cong allocated during bdi init and minimal refcnting operations are implemented. * The above makes root wb init paths diverge depending on CONFIG_CGROUP_WRITEBACK. root wb init is moved to cgwb_bdi_init(). This patch in itself shouldn't cause any consequential behavior differences but prepares for the actual fix.

To fix the bug, bdi destruction will be updated to not wait for cong's to drain, which naturally means that cong's may outlive the associated bdi. This is fine for non-root cong's but is problematic for the root cong's which are embedded in their bdi's as they may end up getting dereferenced after the containing bdi's are freed. This patch makes root cong's behave the same as non-root cong's. They are no longer embedded in their bdi's but allocated separately during bdi initialization, indexed and reference counted the same way. * As cong handling is the same for all wb's, wb->congested initialization is moved into wb_init(). * When !CONFIG_CGROUP_WRITEBACK, there was no indexing or refcnting. bdi->wb_congested is now a pointer pointing to the root cong allocated during bdi init and minimal refcnting operations are implemented. * The above makes root wb init paths diverge depending on CONFIG_CGROUP_WRITEBACK. root wb init is moved to cgwb_bdi_init(). This patch in itself shouldn't cause any consequential behavior differences but prepares for the actual fix.

writeback: make backing_dev_info host cgroup-specific bdi_writebacks For the planned cgroup writeback support, on each bdi (backing_dev_info), each memcg will be served by a separate wb (bdi_writeback).

This allows using memcg's page ownership for attributing writeback IOs, and every memcg - blkcg combination can be served by its own wb by assigning a dedicated wb to each memcg.

writeback: bdi write bandwidth estimation The estimation value will start from 100MB/s and adapt to the real bandwidth in seconds. It tries to update the bandwidth only when disk is fully utilized. Any inactive period of more than one second will be skipped. The estimated bandwidth will be reflecting how fast the device can writeout when _fully utilized_, and won't drop to 0 when it goes idle. The value will remain constant at disk idle time. At busy write time, if not considering fluctuations, it will also remain high unless be knocked down by possible concurrent reads that compete for the disk time and bandwidth with async writes. The estimation is not done purely in the flusher because there is no guarantee for write_cache_pages() to return timely to update bandwidth. The bdi->avg_write_bandwidth smoothing is very effective for filtering out sudden spikes, however may be a little biased in long term. The overheads are low because the bdi bandwidth update only occurs at 200ms intervals. The 200ms update interval is suitable, because it's not possible to get the real bandwidth for the instance at all, due to large fluctuations. The NFS commits can be as large as seconds worth of data. One XFS completion may be as large as half second worth of data if we are going to increase the write chunk to half second worth of data. In ext4, fluctuations with time period of around 5 seconds is observed. And there is another pattern of irregular periods of up to 20 seconds on SSD tests. That's why we are not only doing the estimation at 200ms intervals, but also averaging them over a period of 3 seconds and then go further to do another level of smoothing in avg_write_bandwidth.

writeback: don't embed root bdi_writeback_congested in bdi_writeback 52ebea749aae ("writeback: make backing_dev_info host cgroup-specific bdi_writebacks") made bdi (backing_dev_info) host per-cgroup wb's (bdi_writeback's). As the congested state needs to be per-wb and referenced from blkcg side and multiple wbs, the patch made all non-root cong's (bdi_writeback_congested's) reference counted and indexed on bdi. When a bdi is destroyed, cgwb_bdi_destroy() tries to drain all non-root cong's; however, this can hang indefinitely because wb's can also be referenced from blkcg_gq's which are destroyed after bdi destruction is complete. To fix the bug, bdi destruction will be updated to not wait for cong's to drain, which naturally means that cong's may outlive the associated bdi. This is fine for non-root cong's but is problematic for the root cong's which are embedded in their bdi's as they may end up getting dereferenced after the containing bdi's are freed. This patch makes root cong's behave the same as non-root cong's. They are no longer embedded in their bdi's but allocated separately during bdi initialization, indexed and reference counted the same way. * As cong handling is the same for all wb's, wb->congested initialization is moved into wb_init(). * When !CONFIG_CGROUP_WRITEBACK, there was no indexing or refcnting. bdi->wb_congested is now a pointer pointing to the root cong allocated during bdi init and minimal refcnting operations are implemented. * The above makes root wb init paths diverge depending on CONFIG_CGROUP_WRITEBACK. root wb init is moved to cgwb_bdi_init(). This patch in itself shouldn't cause any consequential behavior differences but prepares for the actual fix.

writeback: switch to per-bdi threads for flushing data This gets rid of pdflush for bdi writeout and kupdated style cleaning. pdflush writeout suffers from lack of locality and also requires more threads to handle the same workload, since it has to work in a non-blocking fashion against each queue. This also introduces lumpy behaviour and potential request starvation, since pdflush can be starved for queue access if others are accessing it. A sample ffsb workload that does random writes to files is about 8% faster here on a simple SATA drive during the benchmark phase.

By decoupling the BDI dirty thresholds a number of problems we currently have will go away, namely: - mutual interference starvation (for any number of BDIs); - deadlocks with stacked BDIs (loop, FUSE and local NFS mounts). It might be that all dirty pages are for a single BDI while other BDIs are idling. By giving each BDI a 'fair' share of the dirty limit, each one can have dirty pages outstanding and make progress. A global threshold also creates a deadlock for stacked BDIs; when A writes to B, and A generates enough dirty pages to get throttled, B will never start writeback until the dirty pages go away. Again, by giving each BDI its own 'independent' dirty limit, this problem is avoided. So the problem is to determine how to distribute the total dirty limit across the BDIs fairly and efficiently. A DBI that has a large dirty limit but does not have any dirty pages outstanding is a waste. What is done is to keep a floating proportion between the DBIs based on writeback completions. This way faster/more active devices get a larger share than slower/idle devices.

writeback: move backing_dev_info->wb_lock and ->worklist into bdi_writeback Currently, a bdi (backing_dev_info) embeds single wb (bdi_writeback) and the role of the separation is unclear. For cgroup support for writeback IOs, a bdi will be updated to host multiple wb's where each wb serves writeback IOs of a different cgroup on the bdi. To achieve that, a wb should carry all states necessary for servicing writeback IOs for a cgroup independently. This patch moves bdi->wb_lock and ->worklist into wb. * The lock protects bdi->worklist and bdi->wb.dwork scheduling. While moving, rename it to wb->work_lock as wb->wb_lock is confusing. Also, move wb->dwork downwards so that it's colocated with the new ->work_lock and ->work_list fields. * bdi_writeback_workfn() -> wb_workfn() bdi_wakeup_thread_delayed(bdi) -> wb_wakeup_delayed(wb) bdi_wakeup_thread(bdi) -> wb_wakeup(wb) bdi_queue_work(bdi, ...) -> wb_queue_work(wb, ...) __bdi_start_writeback(bdi, ...) -> __wb_start_writeback(wb, ...) get_next_work_item(bdi) -> get_next_work_item(wb) * bdi_wb_shutdown() is renamed to wb_shutdown() and now takes @wb. The function contained parts which belong to the containing bdi rather than the wb itself - testing cap_writeback_dirty and bdi_remove_from_list() invocation.

Initializations of the moved bdi->wb_lock and ->work_list are relocated from bdi_init() to wb_init(). * As there's still only one bdi_writeback per backing_dev_info, all uses of bdi->state are mechanically replaced with bdi->wb.state introducing no behavior changes.

writeback: make backing_dev_info host cgroup-specific bdi_writebacks For the planned cgroup writeback support, on each bdi (backing_dev_info), each memcg will be served by a separate wb (bdi_writeback). This patch updates bdi so that a bdi can host multiple wbs (bdi_writebacks). On the default hierarchy, blkcg implicitly enables memcg. This allows using memcg's page ownership for attributing writeback IOs, and every memcg - blkcg combination can be served by its own wb by assigning a dedicated wb to each memcg. This means that there may be multiple wb's of a bdi mapped to the same blkcg. As congested state is per blkcg - bdi combination, those wb's should share the same congested state. This is achieved by tracking congested state via bdi_writeback_congested structs which are keyed by blkcg. bdi->wb remains unchanged and will keep serving the root cgroup. cgwb's (cgroup wb's) for non-root cgroups are created on-demand or looked up while dirtying an inode according to the memcg of the page being dirtied or current task. Each cgwb is indexed on bdi->cgwb_tree by its memcg id. Once an inode is associated with its wb, it can be retrieved using inode_to_wb(). Currently, none of the filesystems has FS_CGROUP_WRITEBACK and all pages will keep being associated with bdi->wb. v3: inode_attach_wb() in account_page_dirtied() moved inside mapping_cap_account_dirty() block where it's known to be !NULL. Also, an unnecessary NULL check before kfree() removed. Both detected by the kbuild bot. v2: Updated so that wb association is per inode and wb is per memcg rather than blkcg.

backing-dev: ensure wakeup_timer is deleted bdi_prune_sb() in bdi_unregister() attempts to removes the bdi links from all super_blocks and then del_timer_sync() the writeback timer. However, this can race with __mark_inode_dirty(), leading to bdi_wakeup_thread_delayed() rearming the writeback timer on the bdi we're unregistering, after we've called del_timer_sync(). This can end up with the bdi being freed with an active timer inside it, as in the case of the following dump after the removal of an SD card. Fix this by redoing the del_timer_sync() in bdi_destory(). ------------[ cut here ]------------ WARNING: at /home/rabin/kernel/arm/lib/debugobjects.c:262 debug_print_object+0x9c/0xc8() ODEBUG: free active (active state 0) object type: timer_list hint: wakeup_timer_fn+0x0/0x180 Modules linked in: Backtrace: [<c00109dc>] (dump_backtrace+0x0/0x110) from [<c0236e4c>] (dump_stack+0x18/0x1c) r6:c02bc638 r5:00000106 r4:c79f5d18 r3:00000000 [<c0236e34>] (dump_stack+0x0/0x1c) from [<c0025e6c>] (warn_slowpath_common+0x54/0x6c) [<c0025e18>] (warn_slowpath_common+0x0/0x6c) from [<c0025f28>] (warn_slowpath_fmt+0x38/0x40) r8:20000013 r7:c780c6f0 r6:c031613c r5:c780c6f0 r4:c02b1b29 r3:00000009 [<c0025ef0>] (warn_slowpath_fmt+0x0/0x40) from [<c015eb4c>] (debug_print_object+0x9c/0xc8) r3:c02b1b29 r2:c02bc662 [<c015eab0>] (debug_print_object+0x0/0xc8) from [<c015f574>] (debug_check_no_obj_freed+0xac/0x1dc) r6:c7964000 r5:00000001 r4:c7964000 [<c015f4c8>] (debug_check_no_obj_freed+0x0/0x1dc) from [<c00a9e38>] (kmem_cache_free+0x88/0x1f8) [<c00a9db0>] (kmem_cache_free+0x0/0x1f8) from [<c014286c>] (blk_release_queue+0x70/0x78) [<c01427fc>] (blk_release_queue+0x0/0x78) from [<c015290c>] (kobject_release+0x70/0x84) r5:c79641f0 r4:c796420c [<c015289c>] (kobject_release+0x0/0x84) from [<c0153ce4>] (kref_put+0x68/0x80) r7:00000083 r6:c74083d0 r5:c015289c r4:c796420c [<c0153c7c>] (kref_put+0x0/0x80) from [<c01527d0>] (kobject_put+0x48/0x5c) r5:c79643b4 r4:c79641f0 [<c0152788>] (kobject_put+0x0/0x5c) from [<c013ddd8>] (blk_cleanup_queue+0x68/0x74) r4:c7964000 [<c013dd70>] (blk_cleanup_queue+0x0/0x74) from [<c01a6370>] (mmc_blk_put+0x78/0xe8) r5:00000000 r4:c794c400 [<c01a62f8>] (mmc_blk_put+0x0/0xe8) from [<c01a64b4>] (mmc_blk_release+0x24/0x38) r5:c794c400 r4:c0322824 [<c01a6490>] (mmc_blk_release+0x0/0x38) from [<c00de11c>] (__blkdev_put+0xe8/0x170) r5:c78d5e00 r4:c74083c0 [<c00de034>] (__blkdev_put+0x0/0x170) from [<c00de2c0>] (blkdev_put+0x11c/0x12c) r8:c79f5f70 r7:00000001 r6:c74083d0 r5:00000083 r4:c74083c0 r3:00000000 [<c00de1a4>] (blkdev_put+0x0/0x12c) from [<c00b0724>] (kill_block_super+0x60/0x6c) r7:c7942300 r6:c79f4000 r5:00000083 r4:c74083c0 [<c00b06c4>] (kill_block_super+0x0/0x6c) from [<c00b0a94>] (deactivate_locked_super+0x44/0x70) r6:c79f4000 r5:c031af64 r4:c794dc00 r3:c00b06c4 [<c00b0a50>] (deactivate_locked_super+0x0/0x70) from [<c00b1358>] (deactivate_super+0x6c/0x70) r5:c794dc00 r4:c794dc00 [<c00b12ec>] (deactivate_super+0x0/0x70) from [<c00c88b0>] (mntput_no_expire+0x188/0x194) r5:c794dc00 r4:c7942300 [<c00c8728>] (mntput_no_expire+0x0/0x194) from [<c00c95e0>] (sys_umount+0x2e4/0x310) r6:c7942300 r5:00000000 r4:00000000 r3:00000000 [<c00c92fc>] (sys_umount+0x0/0x310) from [<c000d940>] (ret_fast_syscall+0x0/0x30) ---[ end trace e5c83c92ada51c76 ]--- Cc: stable@kernel.org Signed-off-by: Rabin Vincent <rabin.vincent@stericsson.com> Signed-off-by: Linus Walleij <linus.walleij@linaro.org> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@kernel.dk>
