[PATCH v2 for-next 0/4] optimise sbitmap deferred clear

[PATCH v2 for-next 0/4] optimise sbitmap deferred clear

[Pavel Begunkov]

sbitmap takes away some cycles for my tag-deficient test, removal of
locking in sbitmap_deferred_clear() gives +~1% throuhput.

[1/4] and [4/4] are simple, it'd be great if someone could double
check for ordering issues for other two patches.

v2: add 3rd (CAS -> atomic and) and 4th patches

Pavel Begunkov (4):
  sbitmap: optimise sbitmap_deferred_clear()
  sbitmap: remove swap_lock
  sbitmap: replace CAS with atomic and
  sbitmap: simplify wrap check

[PATCH v2 1/4] sbitmap: optimise sbitmap_deferred_clear()

[Pavel Begunkov]

Because of spinlocks and atomics sbitmap_deferred_clear() have to reload
&sb->map[index] on each access even though the map address won't change.
Pass in sbitmap_word instead of {sb, index}, so it's cached in a
variable. It also improves code generation of
sbitmap_find_bit_in_index().

Looks ok, even though a bit odd not be passing a struct sbitmap * now

IMHO, narrower context is better, so looks more natural to me.

[PATCH v2 2/4] sbitmap: remove swap_lock

[Pavel Begunkov]

map->swap_lock protects map->cleared from concurrent modification,
however sbitmap_deferred_clear() is already atomically drains it, so
it's guaranteed to not loose bits on concurrent
sbitmap_deferred_clear().

A one threaded tag heavy test on top of nullbk showed ~1.5% t-put
increase, and 3% -> 1% cycle reduction of sbitmap_get() according to perf.

So if we race with another cpu, won't the 2nd cpu see that the mask is 0 
returned from the xchg (not shown)? If so, it's odd to continue to do 
the CAS - or atomic not, from later patch - on a mask of 0.

Thanks,
John

Yeah, but this part is legit and I don't expect it to be so
contended to need an additional check, especially with atomic
and from [3/4].

I'm more concerned about sbitmap_resize*() callers to do right
synchronisation (e.g. quiesce) and not rely on that critical
section I remove. Would be great if anyone can confirm that.

This way might break sbitmap_find_bit_in_index()/sbitmap_get_shallow().
Currently if sbitmap_deferred_clear() returns false, it means nothing
can be allocated from this word. With this patch, even though 'false'
is returned, free bits still might be available because another
sbitmap_deferred_clear() can be run concurrently.

Thanks,
Ming

But that can happen anyway if someone frees a requests right after we
return from sbitmap_deferred_clear(). Can you elaborate what exactly
it breaks? Something in sbq wakeup paths?

When one request is freed, and if there is any allocator waiting for,
sbitmap_queue_wake_up() will wake up the allocator for retrying.

If there isn't any allocator waiting for, freeing request will make
empty bits, and the following way is applied to make forward
progress for either request allocation or driver tag:

	tag = __blk_mq_get_tag(data, bt);	[1]
	if (tag != BLK_MQ_NO_TAG)
		break;
	sbitmap_prepare_to_wait(bt, ws, &wait, TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE);
	tag = __blk_mq_get_tag(data, bt);	[2]
	if (tag != BLK_MQ_NO_TAG)
		break;
	io_schedule()

When allocation[2] and sbitmap_resize() is run concurrently,
allocation[2] may fail because map cleared bits are cleared.
But looks it can happen without your patch.

Thinking of further, looks your patch is good: when one allocation
wins(removing swap_lock won't change this point), the winning bit will
be freed in future, then wakeup is run for other waiters if all allocation
take same approach with above.

[PATCH v2 3/4] sbitmap: replace CAS with atomic and

[Pavel Begunkov]

sbitmap_deferred_clear() does CAS loop to propagate cleared bits,
replace it with equivalent atomic bitwise and. That's slightly faster
and makes wait-free instead of lock-free as before.

The atomic can be relaxed (i.e. barrier-less) because following
sbitmap_get*() deal with synchronisation, see comments in
sbitmap_queue_clear().

It's ok to cast to atomic_long_t, that's what bitops/lock.h does.

[PATCH v2 4/4] sbitmap: simplify wrap check

[Pavel Begunkov]

__sbitmap_get_word() doesn't warp if it's starting from the beginning
(i.e. initial hint is 0). Instead of stashing the original hint just set
@wrap accordingly.

Applied, thanks.
