[PATCH v5 00/17] Pass data lifetime information to SCSI disk devices

[PATCH v5 00/17] Pass data lifetime information to SCSI disk devices

[Bart Van Assche]

Hi Martin,

UFS vendors need the data lifetime information to achieve good performance.
Providing data lifetime information to UFS devices can result in up to 40%
lower write amplification. Hence this patch series that adds support in F2FS
and also in the block layer for data lifetime information. The SCSI disk (sd)
driver is modified such that it passes write hint information to SCSI devices
via the GROUP NUMBER field.

Please consider this patch series for the next merge window.

Thank you,

Bart.

Changes compared to v4:
 - Dropped the patch that renames the WRITE_LIFE_* constants.
 - Added a fix for an argument check in fcntl_rw_hint().
 - Reordered the patches that restore data lifetime support.
 - Included a fix for data lifetime support for buffered I/O to raw block
   devices.

Changes compared to v3:
 - Renamed the data lifetime constants (WRITE_LIFE_*).
 - Fixed a checkpatch complaint by changing "unsigned" into "unsigned int".
 - Rebased this patch series on top of kernel v6.7-rc1.
 
Changes compared to v2:
 - Instead of storing data lifetime information in bi_ioprio, introduce the
   new struct bio member bi_lifetime and also the struct request member
   'lifetime'.
 - Removed the bio_set_data_lifetime() and bio_get_data_lifetime() functions
   and replaced these with direct assignments.
 - Dropped all changes related to I/O priority.
 - Improved patch descriptions.

Changes compared to v1:
 - Use six bits from the ioprio field for data lifetime information. The
   bio->bi_write_hint / req->write_hint / iocb->ki_hint members that were
   introduced in v1 have been removed again.
 - The F_GET_FILE_RW_HINT and F_SET_FILE_RW_HINT fcntls have been removed.
 - In the SCSI disk (sd) driver, query the stream status and check the PERM bit.
 - The GET STREAM STATUS command has been implemented in the scsi_debug driver.

[PATCH v5 02/17] fs: Move enum rw_hint into a new header file

[Bart Van Assche]

Move enum rw_hint into a new header file to prepare for using this data
type in the block layer. Add the attribute __packed to reduce the space
occupied by instances of this data type from four bytes to one byte.
Change the data type of i_write_hint from u8 into enum rw_hint. Change
the RWH_* constants into literal constants to prevent that
<uapi/linux/fcntl.h> would have to be included.

[PATCH v5 07/17] block: Propagate write hints to the block device inode

[Bart Van Assche]

Write hints applied with F_SET_RW_HINT on a block device affect the
shmem inode only. Propagate these hints to the block device inode
because that is the inode used when writing back dirty pages.

[PATCH v5 10/17] sd: Translate data lifetime information

[Bart Van Assche]

Recently T10 standardized SBC constrained streams. This mechanism allows
to pass data lifetime information to SCSI devices in the group number
field. Add support for translating write hint information into a
permanent stream number in the sd driver. Use WRITE(10) instead of
WRITE(6) if data lifetime information is present because the WRITE(6)
command does not have a GROUP NUMBER field.

[PATCH v5 12/17] scsi_debug: Support the block limits extension VPD page

[Bart Van Assche]

From SBC-5 r05:

"Reduced stream control:
a) reduces the maximum number of streams that the device server supports;
   and
b) increases the number of write commands that are able to specify a stream
   to be written in any write command that contains the GROUP NUMBER field
   in its CDB.

If the RSCS bit (see 6.6.5) is set to one, then the device server shall:
a) support per group stream identifier usage as described in 4.32.2;
b) support the IO Advice Hints Grouping mode page (see 6.5.7); and
c) set the MAXIMUM NUMBER OF STREAMS field (see 6.6.5) to a value that is
   less than 64.

Device servers that set the RSCS bit to one may support other features
(e.g., permanent streams (see 4.32.4)).

4.32.4 Permanent streams

A permanent stream is a stream for which the device server does not allow
closing or otherwise modifying the configuration of that stream. The PERM
bit (see 5.9.2.3) indicates whether a stream is a permanent stream. If a
STREAM CONTROL command (see 5.32) specifies the closing of a permanent
stream, the device server terminates that command with CHECK CONDITION
status instead of closing the specified stream. A permanent stream is always
an open stream. Device severs should assign the lowest numbered stream
identifiers to permanent streams."

Report that reduced stream control is supported.

[PATCH v5 15/17] scsi_debug: Implement the IO Advice Hints Grouping mode page

[Bart Van Assche]

Implement an IO Advice Hints Grouping mode page with three permanent
streams. A permanent stream is a stream for which the device server does
not allow closing or otherwise modifying the configuration of that
stream. The stream identifier enable (ST_ENBLE) bit specifies whether
the stream identifier may be used in the GROUP NUMBER field of SCSI
WRITE commands.

[PATCH v5 17/17] scsi_debug: Maintain write statistics per group number

[Bart Van Assche]

Track per GROUP NUMBER how many write commands have been processed. Make
this information available in sysfs. Reset these statistics if any data
is written into the sysfs attribute.

Note: SCSI devices should only interpret the information in the GROUP
NUMBER field as a stream identifier if the ST_ENBLE bit has been set to
one. This patch follows a simpler approach: count the number of writes
per GROUP NUMBER whether or not the group number represents a stream
identifier.

Hi Bart,

Stupid question, did you intentionally do a boolean bitfiled? I'm just 
asking as I've never seen something like this before and it doesn't make 
to much sense to me either.

Thanks,

Hi Bart,

Have you considered using GENMASK() and FILED_GET() for this? All the 
ifdefs make the header rather ugly.

Hi Johannes,

When using bitfields, there are #ifdefs in the data structure
definitions but it is easy to write code that accesses the bitfields.
When using FIELD_GET(), the data structure definitions have no ifdefs
but the code that reads bitfields becomes harder to verify. The code
for setting bitfield values would have to use FIELD_PREP() and hence
would become more complex. An example of code that sets bitfields is
the definition of the gr_m_pg data structure in patch 15/17 of this
series. It would become more complicated if FIELD_PREP() would have to
be used in the definition of that data structure.

Thanks,

Bart.

Looks good:

Reviewed-by: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de>

Btw, having one helper for F_GET_RW_HINT and F_SET_RW_HINT looks
pretty odd to me, it seems like the code would be cleaner if that
was split into two helpers instead.

If we split the definitions we need a conversion function.  That
might just have a bunch of BUILD_BUG_ON/static_asserts to check
the values are the same and otherwise do nothing, but we can't really
be sloppy here.

I know that commit sets a precedence by having a horribly short and
uninformative commit message, but please write a proper one for this
commit and explain why you are restoring the option.  Also if anything
changed since last year.

To enable testing seems like a pretty bad argument for bloating struct
file.  I'd much prefer to not restore it, but if you want to do so
please write a convincing commit log.

Hi Christoph,

I have submitted a pull request for fio such that my tests can be run
even if F_SET_FILE_RW_HINT is not supported (see also
https://github.com/axboe/fio/pull/1682).

The only other application that I found that uses F_SET_FILE_RW_HINT is
Ceph. Do we want to make the Ceph code work again that uses
F_SET_FILE_RW_HINT? I think this code cannot be converted to
F_SET_RW_HINT.

 From the Ceph source code:

----------------------------------------------------------------------
int KernelDevice::choose_fd(bool buffered, int write_hint) const
{
#if defined(F_SET_FILE_RW_HINT)
   if (!enable_wrt)
     write_hint = WRITE_LIFE_NOT_SET;
#else
   // Without WRITE_LIFE capabilities, only one file is used.
   // And rocksdb sets this value also to > 0, so we need to catch this
   // here instead of trusting rocksdb to set write_hint.
   write_hint = WRITE_LIFE_NOT_SET;
#endif
   return buffered ? fd_buffereds[write_hint] : fd_directs[write_hint];
}
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Thanks,

Bart.

Hi Christoph,

A possible approach is that I drop this patch from this patch series and
that I let the F2FS maintainers restore write hint support in F2FS.

Thanks,

Bart.

If kiocb.ki_hint is not restored, the kiocb users will have to use the
kiocb ki_filp member to obtain the write hint information. In other
words, iocb->ki_hint will have to be changed into
file_inode(iocb->ki_filp)->i_write_hint. Is that what you want me to do?

Thanks,

Bart.

I'm not saying you should drop it.  Just that it should have a useful
commit message.

Well, let's pull a few folks in.  I'd personally prefer not carrying
this around in the file and supporting different write hints in the
same inode, which also makes things a mess for file systems.
