blk-throttle: support prioritized processing of metadata
Currently, blk-throttle handle all IO fifo, hence if data IO is throttled and then meta IO is dispatched, the meta IO will have to wait for the data IO, causing priority inversion problems. This patch support to handle metadata first and then pay debt while throttling data. Test script: use cgroup v1 to throttle root cgroup, then create new dir and file while write back is throttled test() { mkdir /mnt/test/xxx touch /mnt/test/xxx/1 sync /mnt/test/xxx sync /mnt/test/xxx } mkfs.ext4 -F /dev/nvme0n1 -E lazy_itable_init=0,lazy_journal_init=0 mount /dev/nvme0n1 /mnt/test echo "259:0 $((1024*1024))" > /sys/fs/cgroup/blkio/blkio.throttle.write_bps_device dd if=/dev/zero of=/mnt/test/foo1 bs=16M count=1 conv=fdatasync status=none & sleep 4 time test echo "259:0 0" > /sys/fs/cgroup/blkio/blkio.throttle.write_bps_device sleep 1 umount /dev/nvme0n1 Test result: time cost for creating new dir and file before this patch: 14s after this patch: 0.1s Signed-off-by: Yu Kuai <yukuai3@huawei.com> Acked-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20240903135149.271857-3-yukuai1@huaweicloud.comSigned-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@kernel.dk>
