      block, bfq: fix in-service-queue check for queue merging · 058fdecc
      Paolo Valente authored
      When a new I/O request arrives for a bfq_queue, say Q, bfq checks
      whether that request is close to
      (a) the head request of some other queue waiting to be served, or
      (b) the last request dispatched for the in-service queue (in case Q
      itself is not the in-service queue)
      
      If a queue, say Q2, is found for which the above condition holds, then
      bfq merges Q and Q2, to hopefully get a more sequential I/O in the
      resulting merged queue, and thus a possibly higher throughput.
      
      Case (b) is checked by comparing the new request for Q with the last
      request dispatched, assuming that the latter necessarily belonged to the
      in-service queue. Unfortunately, this assumption is no longer always
      correct, since commit d0edc247 ("block, bfq: inject other-queue I/O
      into seeky idle queues on NCQ flash").
      
      When the assumption does not hold, queues that must not be merged may be
      merged, causing unexpected loss of control on per-queue service
      guarantees.
      
      This commit solves this problem by adding an extra field, which stores
      the actual last request dispatched for the in-service queue, and by
      using this new field to correctly check case (b).

      block, bfq: do not overcharge writes in asymmetric scenarios · 02a6d787
      Paolo Valente authored
      Writes tend to starve reads. bfq counters this problem by overcharging
      writes with an inflated service w.r.t. the actual service (number of
      sector written) they receive.
      
      Yet his overcharging is useless, and actually causes unfairness in the
      opposite direction, when bfq happens to be enforcing strong I/O control.
      bfq does this enforcing when the scenario is asymmetric, i.e., when some
      bfq_queue or group of bfq_queues is to be granted a different bandwidth
      than some other bfq_queue or group of bfq_queues. So, in such a
      scenario, this commit disables write overcharging.

      If active queue hasn't enough requests and idle window opens, cfq will
      not dispatch sufficient requests to hardware. In such situation, current
      code will zero hw_tag. But this is because cfq doesn't dispatch enough
      requests instead of hardware queue doesn't work. Don't zero hw_tag in

      Paolo Valente authored
      bfq simple heuristic from cfq for detecting whether the drive performs
      command queueing: check whether the average number of in-flight requests
      is above a given threshold. Unfortunately this heuristic does fail to
      detect queueing (on drives with queueing) if processes doing I/O are few
      and issue I/O with a low depth.
      
      To reduce false negatives, this commit lowers the threshold.

      block, bfq: fix queue removal from weights tree · 9dee8b3b
      Paolo Valente authored
      bfq maintains an ordered list, through a red-black tree, of unique
      weights of active bfq_queues. This list is used to detect whether there
      are active queues with differentiated weights. The weight of a queue is
      removed from the list when both the following two conditions become
      true:
      
      (1) the bfq_queue is flagged as inactive
      (2) the has no in-flight request any longer;
      
      Unfortunately, in the rare cases where condition (2) becomes true before
      condition (1), the removal fails, because the function to remove the
      weight of the queue (bfq_weights_tree_remove) is rightly invoked in the
      path that deactivates the bfq_queue, but mistakenly invoked *before* the
      function that actually performs the deactivation (bfq_deactivate_bfqq).
      
      This commits moves the invocation of bfq_weights_tree_remove for
      condition (1) to after bfq_deactivate_bfqq. As a consequence of this
      move, it is necessary to add a further reference to the queue when the
      weight of a queue is added, because the queue might otherwise be freed
      before bfq_weights_tree_remove is invoked. This commit adds this
      reference and makes all related modifications.

      block, bfq: unconditionally plug I/O in asymmetric scenarios · 530c4cbb
      Paolo Valente authored
      bfq detects the creation of multiple bfq_queues shortly after each
      other, namely a burst of queue creations in the terminology used in the
      code. If the burst is large, then no queue in the burst is granted
      - either I/O-dispatch plugging when the queue remains temporarily idle
        while in service;
      - or weight raising, because it causes even longer plugging.
      
      In fact, such a plugging tends to lower throughput, while these bursts
      are typically due to applications or services that spawn multiple
      processes, to reach a common goal as soon as possible. Examples are a
      "git grep" or the booting of a system.
      
      Unfortunately, disabling plugging may cause a loss of service guarantees
      in asymmetric scenarios, i.e., if queue weights are differentiated or if
      more than one group is active.
      
      This commit addresses this issue by no longer disabling I/O-dispatch
      plugging for queues in large bursts.

      block, bfq: do not plug I/O of in-service queue when harmful · ac8b0cb4
      Paolo Valente authored
      If the in-service bfq_queue is sync and remains temporarily idle, then
      I/O dispatching (from other queues) may be plugged. It may be dome for
      two reasons: either to boost throughput, or to preserve the bandwidth
      share of the in-service queue. In the first case, if the I/O of the
      in-service queue, when it finally arrives, consists only of one small
      I/O request, then it makes sense to plug even the I/O of the in-service
      queue. In fact, serving such a small request immediately is likely to
      lower throughput instead of boosting it, whereas waiting a little bit is
      likely to let that request grow, thanks to request merging, and become
      more profitable in terms of throughput (this is likely to happen exactly
      because the I/O of the queue has been detected to boost throughput).
      
      On the opposite end, if I/O dispatching is being plugged only to
      preserve the bandwidth of the in-service queue, then it would be better
      not to plug also the I/O of the in-service queue, because such a
      plugging is likely to cause only loss of bandwidth for the queue.
      
      Unfortunately, no distinction is made between the two cases, and the I/O
      of the in-service queue is always plugged in case just a small I/O
      request arrives. This commit draws this missing distinction and does not
      perform harmful plugging.

      block, bfq: consider also ioprio classes in symmetry detection · 73d58118
      Paolo Valente authored
      In asymmetric scenarios, i.e., when some bfq_queue or bfq_group needs to
      be guaranteed a different bandwidth than other bfq_queues or bfq_groups,
      these service guaranteed can be provided only by plugging I/O dispatch,
      completely or partially, when the queue in service remains temporarily
      empty. A case where asymmetry is particularly strong is when some active
      bfq_queues belong to a higher-priority class than some other active
      bfq_queues. Unfortunately, this important case is not considered at all
      in the code for detecting asymmetric scenarios. This commit adds the
      missing logic.

      Paolo Valente authored
      Before commit 18e5a57d ("block, bfq: postpone rq preparation to
      insert or merge"), the destination queue for a request was chosen by a
      different hook than the one that then inserted the request. So, between
      the execution of the two hooks, the bic of the process generating the
      request could happen to be redirected to a different bfq_queue. As a
      consequence, the destination bfq_queue stored in the request could be
      wrong. Such an event does not need to ba handled any longer.

      block, bfq: make sure queue budgets are not below service received · f3218ad8
      Paolo Valente authored
      With some unlucky sequences of events, the function bfq_updated_next_req
      updates the current budget of a bfq_queue to a lower value than the
      service received by the queue using such a budget. Unfortunately, if
      this happens, then the return value of the function bfq_bfqq_budget_left
      becomes inconsistent. This commit solves this problem by lower-bounding
      the budget computed in bfq_updated_next_req to the service currently
      charged to the queue.

      block, bfq: avoid selecting a queue w/o budget · 218cb897
      Paolo Valente authored
      To boost throughput on devices with internal queueing and in scenarios
      where device idling is not strictly needed, bfq immediately starts
      serving a new bfq_queue if the in-service bfq_queue remains without
      pending I/O, even if new I/O may arrive soon for the latter queue. Then,
      if such I/O actually arrives soon, bfq preempts the new in-service
      bfq_queue so as to give the previous queue a chance to go on being
      served (in case the previous queue should actually be the one to be
      served, according to its timestamps).
      
      However, the in-service bfq_queue, say Q, may also be without further
      budget when it remains also pending I/O. Since bfq changes budgets
      dynamically to fit the needs of bfq_queues, this happens more often than
      one may expect. If this happens, then there is no point in trying to go
      on serving Q when new I/O arrives for it soon: Q would be expired
      immediately after being selected for service. This would only cause
      useless overhead. This commit avoids such a useless selection.

      block, bfq: do not consider interactive queues in srt filtering · 20cd3245
      Paolo Valente authored
      The speed at which a bfq_queue receives I/O is one of the parameters by
      which bfq decides whether the queue is soft real-time (i.e., whether the
      queue contains the I/O of a soft real-time application). In particular,
      when a bfq_queue remains without outstanding I/O requests, bfq computes
      the minimum time instant, named soft_rt_next_start, at which the next
      request of the queue may arrive for the queue to be deemed as soft real
      time.
      
      Unfortunately this filtering may cause problems with a queue in
      interactive weight raising. In fact, such a queue may be conveying the
      I/O needed to load a soft real-time application. The latter will
      actually exhibit a soft real-time I/O pattern after it finally starts
      doing its job. But, if soft_rt_next_start is updated for an interactive
      bfq_queue, and the queue has received a lot of service before remaining
      with no outstanding request (likely to happen on a fast device), then
      soft_rt_next_start is assigned such a high value that, for a very long
      time, the queue is prevented from being possibly considered as soft real
      time.
      
      This commit removes the updating of soft_rt_next_start for bfq_queues in
      interactive weight raising.

       "A fix for namespace label support for non-Intel NVDIMMs that implement
        the ACPI standard label method.
      
        This has apparently never worked and could wait for v5.1. However it
        has enough visibility with hardware vendors [1] and distro bug
        trackers [2], and low enough risk that I decided it should go in for
        -rc4. The other fixups target the new, for v5.0, nvdimm security
        functionality. The larger init path fixup closes a memory leak and a
        potential userspace lockup due to missed notifications.

          [2] https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1811785
      
        These have all soaked in -next for a week with no reported issues.

         - Fix support for NVDIMMs that implement the ACPI standard label
           methods.
