[PATCH 0 of 9] I/O topology patch kit

[PATCH 0 of 9] I/O topology patch kit

[Martin K. Petersen]

Second take of the I/O topology patches.

Changes:

 - PATCH 2 of 8: New naming as suggested by Jens. Document sysfs ABI.
 - PATCH [346] of 8: Updated to use the new blk_queue_io_foo() calls.
 - PATCH 8: Wilcox & Petersen libata READ CAPACITY(16) convergence.
 - PATCH 9: libata rotation rate heuristics

Wrt. patch 9: Flame away :)

[PATCH 1 of 9] block: Expose stacked device queues in sysfs

[Martin K. Petersen]

Currently stacking devices do not have a queue directory in sysfs.
However, many of the I/O characteristics like sector size, maximum
request size, etc. are queue properties.

This patch enables the queue directory for MD/DM devices.  The elevator
code has been modified to deal with queues that do not have an I/O
scheduler.

[PATCH 2 of 9] block: Export I/O topology for block devices and partitions

[Martin K. Petersen]

To support devices with physical block sizes bigger than 512 bytes we
need to ensure proper alignment.  This patch adds support for exposing
I/O topology characteristics as devices are stacked.

  hardsect_size remains unchanged.  It is the smallest atomic unit the
  device can address (i.e. logical block size).

  io_granularity indicates the smallest I/O the device can access
  without incurring a read-modify-write penalty.  The granularity is set
  by low-level drivers from then on it is purely internal to the
  stacking logic.

  The io_min parameter is the smallest preferred I/O size reported by
  the device.  In many cases this is the same as granularity.  However,
  the io_min parameter can be scaled up when stacking (RAID5 chunk size
  > physical sector size).  io_min is available in sysfs
  (minimum_io_size).

  The io_opt characteristic indicates the optimal I/O size reported by
  the device.  This is usually the stripe width for arrays.  The value
  is in sysfs (optimal_io_size).

  The io_alignment parameter indicates the number of bytes the start of
  the device/partition is offset from the device granularity.  Partition
  tools and MD/DM tools can use this to align filesystems to the proper
  boundaries.

Wouldn't it be good to include "sector", like the queue files do? The
alignment of a partition could mean many things.
  /sys/block/<disk>/sector_alignment
  /sys/block/<disk>/<partition>/sector_alignment

And prefixing the io values might be easier to read when they show up
in a group?

Why do we need all this syscall overhead just to read individual data items?

Isn't it dumb to require 30 userland syscalls simply to input a 
10-member data structure?

netlink looks more and more attractive for anything non-trivial.

Would it also be possible and useful to include the number of
spindles/channels, i.e., how many requests the device can handle
concurrently?  CFQ could for example serve two time slices
concurrently if you have sequential reads and the device reports two
spindles.

This is what we call "creeping featurism" (or other names not as nice).
You'll then want to know which data are provided by which spindle.
Then you'll want to know how fast each spindle is.  Then you'll find that
not all storage gives you that information (try asking an EMC Symmetrix
how many spindles it has and where data is mapped ...)

Let's just get something merged which gives us an improvement.
Then you're free to experiment with adding the spindles count yourself,
and if you can show a real advantage to it, come back and we can argue
over it with data.

We don't really have a way to get that information at this point.

The values exported in my patch set is what the storage vendors in T10
could agree on.  I simply applied them to DM and MD devices as well.

We're talking to SSD vendors about having their devices export some
characteristics that would allow us to schedule I/O more intelligently.
The effort of defining what those values might be is work in progress.
There has been murmurs about T13 adopting the T10 knobs, much like it
happened with form factor and media rotation rate.

For more traditional storage we don't really have a good way to
distinguish between a 10GB LUN on a million dollar array and a single
disk drive.  Rotation rate can help and we already use and export that.

I think these three knobs are very trivial :)

I agree that traversing sysfs can be sucky.  But for the mkfs-es of the
world I expect most of this to be handled by libdisk.

I also I really wanted something that could be easily scripted for
installers to poke at.

If these values were in any kind of hot path I'd be inclined to agree
with the need for a different interface.  But realistically these are
only ever going to be accessed when creating a filesystem, partition or
MD/DM device.

So I opted to keep things simple.  Doesn't mean we can't add another
interface if there's a real need...

Well, the whole point of this exercise is to get rid of the
about-to-become-incorrect notion of a "sector" :)

What I'd like to see is these values being picked up by libdisk and used
to replace the current hacks that extract MD stripe size, etc.

So the values exported are:

   alignment		- Use this to add padding.

   minimum_io_size	- Don't submit I/Os smaller than this.  May be
                          bigger than both physical and logical block
                          sizes at the bottom of the stack.

   optimal_io_size	- Use this request size for best performance.
   			  Think full stripe write.

Those values apply to all block device types and are adjusted when
stacking.

I don't really have immediate plans to add more.

I'm not married to any particular naming scheme but I felt that
minimum_io_size was more readable than io_minimum_size.  Which I why I
kept the user-visible names as is.

[PATCH 2 of 9] block: Export I/O topology for block devices and partitions

[Martin K. Petersen]

To support devices with physical block sizes bigger than 512 bytes we
need to ensure proper alignment.  This patch adds support for exposing
I/O topology characteristics as devices are stacked.

  hardsect_size remains unchanged.  It is the smallest atomic unit the
  device can address (i.e. logical block size).

  io_granularity indicates the smallest I/O the device can access
  without incurring a read-modify-write penalty.  The granularity is set
  by low-level drivers from then on it is purely internal to the
  stacking logic.

  The io_min parameter is the smallest preferred I/O size reported by
  the device.  In many cases this is the same as granularity.  However,
  the io_min parameter can be scaled up when stacking (RAID5 chunk size
  > physical sector size).  io_min is available in sysfs
  (minimum_io_size).

  The io_opt characteristic indicates the optimal I/O size reported by
  the device.  This is usually the stripe width for arrays.  The value
  is in sysfs (optimal_io_size).

  The io_alignment parameter indicates the number of bytes the start of
  the device/partition is offset from the device granularity.  Partition
  tools and MD/DM tools can use this to align filesystems to the proper
  boundaries.

[PATCH 3 of 9] MD: Use new topology calls to indicate alignment and I/O sizes

[Martin K. Petersen]

Switch MD over to the new blk_queue_stack_topology() function which
checks for aligment and adjusts preferred I/O sizes when stacking.

Also warn if an MD device contains misaligned components.

[PATCH 8 of 9] libata: Report disk alignment and physical block size

[Martin K. Petersen]

For disks with 4KB sectors, report the correct block size and alignment
when filling out the READ CAPACITY(16) response.

This patch is based upon code from Matthew Wilcox' 4KB ATA tree.  I
fixed the bug I reported a while back caused by ATA and SCSI using
different approaches to describing the alignment.

[PATCH 9 of 9] libata: Media rotation rate and form factor heuristics

[Martin K. Petersen]

This patch delegates setting the queue NONROT flag to SCSI.

It also provides new heuristics for parsing both the form factor and
media rotation rate ATA IDENFITY words.

The reported ATA version must be 7 or greater and the device must return
values defined as valid in the standard.  Only then are the
characteristics reported to SCSI via the VPD B1 page.

This seems like a reasonable compromise to me considering that we have
been shipping several kernel releases that key off the rotation rate bit
without any version checking whatsoever.  With no complaints so far.
