While debugging timeouts happening in my application workload (ScyllaDB), I have observed calls to open() taking a long time, ranging everywhere from 2 seconds - the first ones that are enough to time out my application - to more than 30 seconds. The problem seems to happen because XFS may block on pending metadata updates under certain circumnstances, and that's confirmed with the following backtrace taken by the offcputime tool (iovisor/bcc): ffffffffb90c57b1 finish_task_switch ffffffffb97dffb5 schedule ffffffffb97e310c schedule_timeout ffffffffb97e1f12 __down ffffffffb90ea821 down ffffffffc046a9dc xfs_buf_lock ffffffffc046abfb _xfs_buf_find ffffffffc046ae4a xfs_buf_get_map ffffffffc046babd xfs_buf_read_map ffffffffc0499931 xfs_trans_read_buf_map ffffffffc044a561 xfs_da_read_buf ffffffffc0451390 xfs_dir3_leaf_read.constprop.16 ffffffffc0452b90 xfs_dir2_leaf_lookup_int ffffffffc0452e0f xfs_dir2_leaf_lookup ffffffffc044d9d3 xfs_dir_lookup ffffffffc047d1d9 xfs_lookup ffffffffc0479e53 xfs_vn_lookup ffffffffb925347a path_openat ffffffffb9254a71 do_filp_open ffffffffb9242a94 do_sys_open ffffffffb9242b9e sys_open ffffffffb97e42b2 entry_SYSCALL_64_fastpath 00007fb0698162ed [unknown] Inspecting my run with blktrace, I can see that the xfsaild kthread exhibit very high "Dispatch wait" times, on the dozens of seconds range and consistent with the open() times I have saw in that run. Still from the blktrace output, we can after searching a bit, identify the request that wasn't dispatched: 8,0 11 152 81.092472813 804 A WM 141698288 + 8 <- (8,1) 141696240 8,0 11 153 81.092472889 804 Q WM 141698288 + 8 [xfsaild/sda1] 8,0 11 154 81.092473207 804 G WM 141698288 + 8 [xfsaild/sda1] 8,0 11 206 81.092496118 804 I WM 141698288 + 8 ( 22911) [xfsaild/sda1] <==== 'I' means Inserted (into the IO scheduler) ===================================> 8,0 0 289372 96.718761435 0 D WM 141698288 + 8 (15626265317) [swapper/0] <==== Only 15s later the CFQ scheduler dispatches the request ======================> As we can see above, in this particular example CFQ took 15 seconds to dispatch this request. Going back to the full trace, we can see that the xfsaild queue had plenty of opportunity to run, and it was selected as the active queue many times. It would just always be preempted by something else (example): 8,0 1 0 81.117912979 0 m N cfq1618SN / insert_request 8,0 1 0 81.117913419 0 m N cfq1618SN / add_to_rr 8,0 1 0 81.117914044 0 m N cfq1618SN / preempt 8,0 1 0 81.117914398 0 m N cfq767A / slice expired t=1 8,0 1 0 81.117914755 0 m N cfq767A / resid=40 8,0 1 0 81.117915340 0 m N / served: vt=1948520448 min_vt=1948520448 8,0 1 0 81.117915858 0 m N cfq767A / sl_used=1 disp=0 charge=0 iops=1 sect=0 where cfq767 is the xfsaild queue and cfq1618 corresponds to one of the ScyllaDB IO dispatchers. The requests preempting the xfsaild queue are synchronous requests. That's a characteristic of ScyllaDB workloads, as we only ever issue O_DIRECT requests. While it can be argued that preempting ASYNC requests in favor of SYNC is part of the CFQ logic, I don't believe that doing so for 15+ seconds is anyone's goal. Moreover, unless I am misunderstanding something, that breaks the expectation set by the "fifo_expire_async" tunable, which in my system is set to the default. Looking at the code, it seems to me that the issue is that after we make an async queue active, there is no guarantee that it will execute any request. When the queue itself tests if it cfq_may_dispatch() it can bail if it sees SYNC requests in flight. An incoming request from another queue can also preempt it in such situation before we have the chance to execute anything (as seen in the trace above). This patch sets the must_dispatch flag if we notice that we have requests that are already fifo_expired. This flag is always cleared after cfq_dispatch_request() returns from cfq_dispatch_requests(), so it won't pin the queue for subsequent requests (unless they are themselves expired) Care is taken during preempt to still allow rt requests to preempt us regardless. Testing my workload with this patch applied produces much better results. From the application side I see no timeouts, and the open() latency histogram generated by systemtap looks much better, with the worst outlier at 131ms: Latency histogram of xfs_buf_lock acquisition (microseconds): value |-------------------------------------------------- count 0 | 11 1 |@@@@ 161 2 |@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ 1966 4 |@ 54 8 | 36 16 | 7 32 | 0 64 | 0 ~ 1024 | 0 2048 | 0 4096 | 1 8192 | 1 16384 | 2 32768 | 0 65536 | 0 131072 | 1 262144 | 0 524288 | 0 Signed-off-by: Glauber Costa <glauber@scylladb.com> CC: Jens Axboe <axboe@kernel.dk> CC: linux-block@vger.kernel.org CC: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org Signed-off-by: Glauber Costa <glauber@scylladb.com> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@fb.com> Signed-off-by: Willy Tarreau <w@1wt.eu>

* cfq-iosched: minor cleanupsTejun Heo2016-09-011-15/+11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | * Some were accessing cic->cfqq[] directly. Always use cic_to_cfqq() and cic_set_cfqq(). * check_ioprio_changed() doesn't need to verify cfq_get_queue()'s return for NULL. It's always non-NULL. Simplify accordingly. This patch doesn't cause any functional changes.

* cfq-iosched: fix oom cfq_queue ref leak in cfq_set_request()Tejun Heo2016-09-011-0/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If the cfq_queue cached in cfq_io_cq is the oom one, cfq_set_request() replaces it by invoking cfq_get_queue() again without putting the oom queue leaking the reference it was holding. While oom queues are not released through reference counting, they're still reference counted and this can theoretically lead to the reference count overflowing and incorrectly invoke the usual release path on it. Fix it by making cfq_set_request() put the ref it was holding.

* cfq-iosched: fix async oom queue handlingTejun Heo2016-09-011-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Async cfqq's (cfq_queue's) are shared across cfq_data. When cfq_get_queue() obtains a new queue from cfq_find_alloc_queue(), it stashes the pointer in cfq_data and reuses it from then on; however, the function doesn't consider that cfq_find_alloc_queue() may return the oom_cfqq under memory pressure and installs the returned queue unconditionally. If the oom_cfqq is installed as an async cfqq, cfq_set_request() will continue calling cfq_get_queue() hoping to replace it with a proper queue; however, cfq_get_queue() will keep returning the cached queue for the slot - the oom_cfqq. Fix it by skipping caching if the queue is the oom one.

* cfq-iosched: simplify control flow in cfq_get_queue()Tejun Heo2016-09-011-6/+7
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | cfq_get_queue()'s control flow looks like the following. async_cfqq = NULL; cfqq = NULL; if (!is_sync) { ... async_cfqq = ...; cfqq = *async_cfqq; } if (!cfqq) cfqq = ...; if (!is_sync && !(*async_cfqq)) ...; The only thing the local variable init, the second if, and the async_cfqq test in the third if achieves is to skip cfqq creation and installation if *async_cfqq was already non-NULL. This is needlessly complicated with different tests examining the same condition. Simplify it to the following. if (!is_sync) { ... async_cfqq = ...; cfqq = *async_cfqq; if (cfqq) goto out; } cfqq = ...; if (!is_sync) ...; out: Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Acked-by: Jeff Moyer <jmoyer@redhat.com> Cc: Vivek Goyal <vgoyal@redhat.com> Cc: Arianna Avanzini <avanzini.arianna@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@fb.com> Signed-off-by: Pranav Vashi <neobuddy89@gmail.com>
* cfq-iosched: fix the setting of IOPS mode on SSDsJens Axboe2016-09-011-1/+14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | A previous commit wanted to make CFQ default to IOPS mode on non-rotational storage, however it did so when the queue was initialized and the non-rotational flag is only set later on in the probe. Add an elevator hook that gets called off the add_disk() path, at that point we know that feature probing has finished, and we can reliably check for the various flags that drivers can set.

* block: Make CFQ default to IOPS mode on SSDsTahsin Erdogan2016-09-011-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | CFQ idling causes reduced IOPS throughput on non-rotational disks. Since disk head seeking is not applicable to SSDs, it doesn't really help performance by anticipating future near-by IO requests. By turning off idling (and switching to IOPS mode), we allow other processes to dispatch IO requests down to the driver and so increase IO throughput. Following FIO benchmark results were taken on a cloud SSD offering with idling on and off: Idling iops avg-lat(ms) stddev bw ------------------------------------------------------ On 7054 90.107 38.697 28217KB/s Off 29255 21.836 11.730 117022KB/s fio --name=temp --size=100G --time_based --ioengine=libaio \ --randrepeat=0 --direct=1 --invalidate=1 --verify=0 \ --verify_fatal=0 --rw=randread --blocksize=4k --group_reporting=1 \ --filename=/dev/sdb --runtime=10 --iodepth=64 --numjobs=10 And the following is from a local SSD run: Idling iops avg-lat(ms) stddev bw ------------------------------------------------------ On 19320 33.043 14.068 77281KB/s Off 21626 29.465 12.662 86507KB/s fio --name=temp --size=5G --time_based --ioengine=libaio \ --randrepeat=0 --direct=1 --invalidate=1 --verify=0 \ --verify_fatal=0 --rw=randread --blocksize=4k --group_reporting=1 \ --filename=/fio_data --runtime=10 --iodepth=64 --numjobs=10 Reviewed-by: Nauman Rafique <nauman@google.com> Signed-off-by: Tahsin Erdogan <tahsin@google.com> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@fb.com> Signed-off-by: Pranav Vashi <neobuddy89@gmail.com>
