Changes from V7
===============
- Replaced BFQ with CFS+CFQ like hierarchical scheduler.

  Moving to time domain as service parameter had broken BFQ's assumptions
  about how long a queue runs (queue can run more than budget) and that in
  turn has potential to break the O(1) gurantees of BFQ.

  In addition, BFQ was relatively complex and not sure if benefits were
  proportionate in time domain setup. Hence for the time being trying to
  replace BFQ with a simpler scheduler and see how well does it perform.

  This scheduler borrows the ideas from CFS and CFQ. Time slices to queues are
  allocated based on their priority (like CFQ). These disk times are converted
  to virtual disk time and we keep track of each queue's vdisktime and each
  service tree's min_vdisktime to determine who has consumed how much disk
  time and who should run next (like CFS).

- Fixed few issues reported by Jerome Marchand.

  Apart from this there are miscellaneous cleaups like getting rid of not so
  necessary comments, function renames, debug code re-organization etc.
 
Limitations
===========

- This IO controller provides the bandwidth control at the IO scheduler
  level (leaf node in stacked hiearchy of logical devices). So there can
  be cases (depending on configuration) where application does not see
  proportional BW division at higher logical level device.

  LWN has written an article about the issue here.

	http://lwn.net/Articles/332839/

How to solve the issue of fairness at higher level logical devices
==================================================================
(Do we really need it? That's not where the contention for resources is.)

Couple of suggestions have come forward.

- Implement IO control at IO scheduler layer and then with the help of
  some daemon, adjust the weight on underlying devices dynamiclly, depending
  on what kind of BW gurantees are to be achieved at higher level logical
  block devices.

- Also implement a higher level IO controller along with IO scheduler
  based controller and let user choose one depending on his needs.

  A higher level controller does not know about the assumptions/policies
  of unerldying IO scheduler, hence it has the potential to break down
  the IO scheduler's policy with-in cgroup. A lower level controller
  can work with IO scheduler much more closely and efficiently.
 
Other active IO controller developments
=======================================

IO throttling
-------------

  This is a max bandwidth controller and not the proportional one. Secondly
  it is a second level controller which can break the IO scheduler's
  policy/assumtions with-in cgroup. 

dm-ioband
---------

 This is a proportional bandwidth controller implemented as device mapper
 driver. It is also a second level controller which can break the
 IO scheduler's policy/assumptions with-in cgroup.

TODO
====
- code cleanups, testing, bug fixing, optimizations, benchmarking etc...

Testing
=======

I have been able to do some testing as follows. All my testing is with ext3
file system with a SATA drive which supports queue depth of 31.

Test1 (Isolation between two KVM virtual machines)
==================================================
Created two KVM virtual machines. Partitioned a disk on host in two partitions
and gave one partition to each virtual machine. Put both the virtual machines
in two different cgroup of weight 1000 and 500 each. Virtual machines created
ext3 file system on the partitions exported from host and did buffered writes.
Host seems writes as synchronous and virtual machine with higher weight gets
double the disk time of virtual machine of lower weight. Used deadline
scheduler in this test case.

Some more details about configuration are in documentation patch.

Test2 (Fairness for synchronous reads)
======================================
- Two dd in two cgroups with cgrop weights 1000 and 500. Ran two "dd" in those
  cgroups (With CFQ scheduler and /sys/block/<device>/queue/fairness = 1)

  Higher weight dd finishes first and at that point of time my script takes
  care of reading cgroup files io.disk_time and io.disk_sectors for both the
  groups and display the results.

  dd if=/mnt/$BLOCKDEV/zerofile1 of=/dev/null &
  dd if=/mnt/$BLOCKDEV/zerofile2 of=/dev/null &

  group1 time=8:16 2452 group1 sectors=8:16 457856
  group2 time=8:16 1317 group2 sectors=8:16 247008

  234179072 bytes (234 MB) copied, 3.90912 s, 59.9 MB/s
  234179072 bytes (234 MB) copied, 5.15548 s, 45.4 MB/s

First two fields in time and sectors statistics represent major and minor
number of the device. Third field represents disk time in milliseconds and
number of sectors transferred respectively.

This patchset tries to provide fairness in terms of disk time received. group1
got almost double of group2 disk time (At the time of first dd finish). These
time and sectors statistics can be read using io.disk_time and io.disk_sector
files in cgroup. More about it in documentation file.

Test3 (Reader Vs Buffered Writes)
================================
Buffered writes can be problematic and can overwhelm readers, especially with
noop and deadline. IO controller can provide isolation between readers and
buffered (async) writers.

First I ran the test without io controller to see the severity of the issue.
Ran a hostile writer and then after 10 seconds started a reader and then
monitored the completion time of reader. Reader reads a 256 MB file. Tested
this with noop scheduler.

sample script
------------
sync
echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches
time dd if=/dev/zero of=/mnt/sdb/reader-writer-zerofile bs=4K count=2097152
conv=fdatasync &
sleep 10
time dd if=/mnt/sdb/256M-file of=/dev/null &

Results
-------
8589934592 bytes (8.6 GB) copied, 106.045 s, 81.0 MB/s (Writer)
268435456 bytes (268 MB) copied, 96.5237 s, 2.8 MB/s (Reader)

Now it was time to test io controller whether it can provide isolation between
readers and writers with noop. I created two cgroups of weight 1000 each and
put reader in group1 and writer in group 2 and ran the test again. Upon
comletion of reader, my scripts read io.disk_time and io.disk_sectors cgroup
files to get an estimate how much disk time each group got and how many
sectors each group did IO for. 

For more accurate accounting of disk time for buffered writes with queuing
hardware I had to set /sys/block/<disk>/queue/iosched/fairness to "1".

sample script
-------------
echo $$ > /cgroup/bfqio/test2/tasks
dd if=/dev/zero of=/mnt/$BLOCKDEV/testzerofile bs=4K count=2097152 &
sleep 10
echo noop > /sys/block/$BLOCKDEV/queue/scheduler
echo  1 > /sys/block/$BLOCKDEV/queue/iosched/fairness
echo $$ > /cgroup/bfqio/test1/tasks
dd if=/mnt/$BLOCKDEV/256M-file of=/dev/null &
wait $!
# Some code for reading cgroup files upon completion of reader.
-------------------------

Results
=======
68435456 bytes (268 MB) copied, 6.87668 s, 39.0 MB/s

group1 time=8:16 3719 group1 sectors=8:16 524816
group2 time=8:16 3659 group2 sectors=8:16 638712

Note, reader finishes now much lesser time and both group1 and group2
got almost 3 seconds of disk time. Hence io-controller provides isolation
from buffered writes.

Test4 (AIO)
===========

AIO reads
-----------
Set up two fio, AIO read jobs in two cgroup with weight 1000 and 500
respectively. I am using cfq scheduler. Following are some lines from my test
script.

---------------------------------------------------------------
echo 1000 > /cgroup/bfqio/test1/io.weight
echo 500 > /cgroup/bfqio/test2/io.weight

fio_args="--ioengine=libaio --rw=read --size=512M --direct=1"
echo 1 > /sys/block/$BLOCKDEV/queue/iosched/fairness

echo $$ > /cgroup/bfqio/test1/tasks
fio $fio_args --name=test1 --directory=/mnt/$BLOCKDEV/fio1/
--output=/mnt/$BLOCKDEV/fio1/test1.log
--exec_postrun="../read-and-display-group-stats.sh $maj_dev $minor_dev" &

echo $$ > /cgroup/bfqio/test2/tasks
fio $fio_args --name=test2 --directory=/mnt/$BLOCKDEV/fio2/
--output=/mnt/$BLOCKDEV/fio2/test2.log &
----------------------------------------------------------------

test1 and test2 are two groups with weight 1000 and 500 respectively.
"read-and-display-group-stats.sh" is one small script which reads the
test1 and test2 cgroup files to determine how much disk time each group
got till first fio job finished.

Results
------
test1 statistics: time=8:16 17686   sectors=8:16 1049664
test2 statistics: time=8:16 9036   sectors=8:16 585152

Above shows that by the time first fio (higher weight), finished, group
test1 got 17686 ms of disk time and group test2 got 9036 ms of disk time.
similarly the statistics for number of sectors transferred are also shown.

Note that disk time given to group test1 is almost double of group2 disk
time.

AIO writes
----------
Set up two fio, AIO direct write jobs in two cgroup with weight 1000 and 500
respectively. I am using cfq scheduler. Following are some lines from my test
script.

------------------------------------------------
echo 1000 > /cgroup/bfqio/test1/io.weight
echo 500 > /cgroup/bfqio/test2/io.weight
fio_args="--ioengine=libaio --rw=write --size=512M --direct=1"

echo 1 > /sys/block/$BLOCKDEV/queue/iosched/fairness

echo $$ > /cgroup/bfqio/test1/tasks
fio $fio_args --name=test1 --directory=/mnt/$BLOCKDEV/fio1/
--output=/mnt/$BLOCKDEV/fio1/test1.log
--exec_postrun="../read-and-display-group-stats.sh $maj_dev $minor_dev" &

echo $$ > /cgroup/bfqio/test2/tasks
fio $fio_args --name=test2 --directory=/mnt/$BLOCKDEV/fio2/
--output=/mnt/$BLOCKDEV/fio2/test2.log &
-------------------------------------------------

test1 and test2 are two groups with weight 1000 and 500 respectively.
"read-and-display-group-stats.sh" is one small script which reads the
test1 and test2 cgroup files to determine how much disk time each group
got till first fio job finished.

Following are the results.

test1 statistics: time=8:16 25509   sectors=8:16 1049688
test2 statistics: time=8:16 12863   sectors=8:16 527104

Above shows that by the time first fio (higher weight), finished, group
test1 got almost double the disk time of group test2.

Test5 (Fairness for async writes, Buffered Write Vs Buffered Write)
===================================================================
Fairness for async writes is tricky and biggest reason is that async writes
are cached in higher layers (page cahe) as well as possibly in file system
layer also (btrfs, xfs etc), and are dispatched to lower layers not necessarily
in proportional manner.

For example, consider two dd threads reading /dev/zero as input file and doing
writes of huge files. Very soon we will cross vm_dirty_ratio and dd thread will
be forced to write out some pages to disk before more pages can be dirtied. But
not necessarily dirty pages of same thread are picked. It can very well pick
the inode of lesser priority dd thread and do some writeout. So effectively
higher weight dd is doing writeouts of lower weight dd pages and we don't see
service differentation.

IOW, the core problem with async write fairness is that higher weight thread
does not throw enought IO traffic at IO controller to keep the queue
continuously backlogged. In my testing, there are many .2 to .8 second
intervals where higher weight queue is empty and in that duration lower weight
queue get lots of job done giving the impression that there was no service
differentiation.

In summary, from IO controller point of view async writes support is there.
Because page cache has not been designed in such a manner that higher 
prio/weight writer can do more write out as compared to lower prio/weight
writer, gettting service differentiation is hard and it is visible in some
cases and not visible in some cases.

Do we really care that much for fairness among two writer cgroups? One can
choose to do direct writes or sync writes if fairness for writes really
matters for him.

Following is the only case where it is hard to ensure fairness between cgroups.

- Buffered writes Vs Buffered Writes.

So to test async writes I created two partitions on a disk and created ext3
file systems on both the partitions.  Also created two cgroups and generated
lots of write traffic in two cgroups (50 fio threads) and watched the disk
time statistics in respective cgroups at the interval of 2 seconds. Thanks to
ryo tsuruta for the test case.

*****************************************************************
sync
echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches

fio_args="--size=64m --rw=write --numjobs=50 --group_reporting"

echo $$ > /cgroup/bfqio/test1/tasks
fio $fio_args --name=test1 --directory=/mnt/sdd1/fio/ --output=/mnt/sdd1/fio/test1.log &

echo $$ > /cgroup/bfqio/test2/tasks
fio $fio_args --name=test2 --directory=/mnt/sdd2/fio/ --output=/mnt/sdd2/fio/test2.log &
*********************************************************************** 

And watched the disk time and sector statistics for the both the cgroups
every 2 seconds using a script. How is snippet from output.

test1 statistics: time=8:16 1631   sectors=8:16 1680 dq=8:16 2
test2 statistics: time=8:16 896   sectors=8:16 976 dq=8:16 1

test1 statistics: time=8:16 6031   sectors=8:16 88536 dq=8:16 5
test2 statistics: time=8:16 3192   sectors=8:16 4080 dq=8:16 1

test1 statistics: time=8:16 10425   sectors=8:16 390496 dq=8:16 5
test2 statistics: time=8:16 5272   sectors=8:16 77896 dq=8:16 4

test1 statistics: time=8:16 15396   sectors=8:16 747256 dq=8:16 5
test2 statistics: time=8:16 7852   sectors=8:16 235648 dq=8:16 4

test1 statistics: time=8:16 20302   sectors=8:16 1180168 dq=8:16 5
test2 statistics: time=8:16 10297   sectors=8:16 391208 dq=8:16 4

test1 statistics: time=8:16 25244   sectors=8:16 1579928 dq=8:16 6
test2 statistics: time=8:16 12748   sectors=8:16 613096 dq=8:16 4

test1 statistics: time=8:16 30095   sectors=8:16 1927848 dq=8:16 6
test2 statistics: time=8:16 15135   sectors=8:16 806112 dq=8:16 4

First two fields in time and sectors statistics represent major and minor
number of the device. Third field represents disk time in milliseconds and
number of sectors transferred respectively.

So disk time consumed by group1 is almost double of group2 in this case.

Thanks

+				IO Controller
+				=============
+
+Overview
+========
+
+This patchset implements a proportional weight IO controller. That is one
+can create cgroups and assign prio/weights to those cgroups and task group
+will get access to disk proportionate to the weight of the group.
+
+These patches modify elevator layer and individual IO schedulers to do
+IO control hence this io controller works only on block devices which use
+one of the standard io schedulers can not be used with any xyz logical block
+device.
+
+The assumption/thought behind modifying IO scheduler is that resource control
+is primarily needed on leaf nodes where the actual contention for resources is
+present and not on intertermediate logical block devices.
+
+Consider following hypothetical scenario. Lets say there are three physical
+disks, namely sda, sdb and sdc. Two logical volumes (lv0 and lv1) have been
+created on top of these. Some part of sdb is in lv0 and some part is in lv1.
+
+			    lv0      lv1
+			  /	\  /     \
+			sda      sdb      sdc
+
+Also consider following cgroup hierarchy
+
+				root
+				/   \
+			       A     B
+			      / \    / \
+			     T1 T2  T3  T4
+
+A and B are two cgroups and T1, T2, T3 and T4 are tasks with-in those cgroups.
+Assuming T1, T2, T3 and T4 are doing IO on lv0 and lv1. These tasks should
+get their fair share of bandwidth on disks sda, sdb and sdc. There is no
+IO control on intermediate logical block nodes (lv0, lv1).
+
+So if tasks T1 and T2 are doing IO on lv0 and T3 and T4 are doing IO on lv1
+only, there will not be any contetion for resources between group A and B if
+IO is going to sda or sdc. But if actual IO gets translated to disk sdb, then
+IO scheduler associated with the sdb will distribute disk bandwidth to
+group A and B proportionate to their weight.
+
+CFQ already has the notion of fairness and it provides differential disk
+access based on priority and class of the task. Just that it is flat and
+with cgroup stuff, it needs to be made hierarchical to achive a good
+hierarchical control on IO.
+
+Rest of the IO schedulers (noop, deadline and AS) don't have any notion
+of fairness among various threads. They maintain only one queue where all
+the IO gets queued (internally this queue is split in read and write queue
+for deadline and AS). With this patchset, now we maintain one queue per
+cgropu per device and then try to do fair queuing among those queues.
+
+One of the concerns raised with modifying IO schedulers was that we don't
+want to replicate the code in all the IO schedulers. These patches share
+the fair queuing code which has been moved to a common layer (elevator
+layer). Hence we don't end up replicating code across IO schedulers. Following
+diagram depicts the concept.
+
+			--------------------------------
+			| Elevator Layer + Fair Queuing |
+			--------------------------------
+			 |	     |	     |       |
+			NOOP     DEADLINE    AS     CFQ
+
+Design
+======
+This patchset takes the inspiration from CFS cpu scheduler and CFQ to come
+up with core of hierarchical scheduling. Like CFQ we give time slices to
+every queue based on their priority. Like CFS, this disktime given to a
+queue is converted to virtual disk time based on queue's weight (vdisktime)
+and based on this vdisktime we decide which is the queue next to be
+dispatched.
+
+From data structure point of view, one can think of a tree per device, where
+io groups and io queues are hanging and are being scheduled using B-WF2Q+
+algorithm. io_queue, is end queue where requests are actually stored and
+dispatched from (like cfqq).
+
+These io queues are primarily created by and managed by end io schedulers
+depending on its semantics. For example, noop, deadline and AS ioschedulers
+keep one io queues per cgroup and cfqq keeps one io queue per io_context in
+a cgroup (apart from async queues).
+
+A request is mapped to an io group by elevator layer and which io queue it
+is mapped to with in group depends on ioscheduler. Currently "current" task
+is used to determine the cgroup (hence io group) of the request. Down the
+line we need to make use of bio-cgroup patches to map delayed writes to
+right group.
+
+Going back to old behavior
+==========================
+In new scheme of things essentially we are creating hierarchical fair
+queuing logic in elevator layer and chaning IO schedulers to make use of
+that logic so that end IO schedulers start supporting hierarchical scheduling.
+
+Elevator layer continues to support the old interfaces. So even if fair queuing
+is enabled at elevator layer, one can have both new hierchical scheduler as
+well as old non-hierarchical scheduler operating.
+
+Also noop, deadline and AS have option of enabling hierarchical scheduling.
+If it is selected, fair queuing is done in hierarchical manner. If hierarchical
+scheduling is disabled, noop, deadline and AS should retain their existing
+behavior.
+
+CFQ is the only exception where one can not disable fair queuing as it is
+needed for provding fairness among various threads even in non-hierarchical
+mode.
+
+Various user visible config options
+===================================
+CONFIG_IOSCHED_NOOP_HIER
+	- Enables hierchical fair queuing in noop. Not selecting this option
+	  leads to old behavior of noop.
+
+CONFIG_IOSCHED_DEADLINE_HIER
+	- Enables hierchical fair queuing in deadline. Not selecting this
+	  option leads to old behavior of deadline.
+
+CONFIG_IOSCHED_AS_HIER
+	- Enables hierchical fair queuing in AS. Not selecting this option
+	  leads to old behavior of AS.
+
+CONFIG_IOSCHED_CFQ_HIER
+	- Enables hierarchical fair queuing in CFQ. Not selecting this option
+	  still does fair queuing among various queus but it is flat and not
+	  hierarchical.
+
+CGROUP_BLKIO
+	- This option enables blkio-cgroup controller for IO tracking
+	  purposes. That means, by this controller one can attribute a write
+	  to the original cgroup and not assume that it belongs to submitting
+	  thread.
+
+CONFIG_TRACK_ASYNC_CONTEXT
+	- Currently CFQ attributes the writes to the submitting thread and
+	  caches the async queue pointer in the io context of the process.
+	  If this option is set, it tells cfq and elevator fair queuing logic
+	  that for async writes make use of IO tracking patches and attribute
+	  writes to original cgroup and not to write submitting thread.
+
+	  This should be primarily useful when lots of asynchronous writes
+	  are being submitted by pdflush threads and we need to assign the
+	  writes to right group.
+
+CONFIG_DEBUG_GROUP_IOSCHED
+	- Throws extra debug messages in blktrace output helpful in doing
+	  doing debugging in hierarchical setup.
+
+	- Also allows for export of extra debug statistics like group queue
+	  and dequeue statistics on device through cgroup interface.
+
+Config options selected automatically
+=====================================
+These config options are not user visible and are selected/deselected
+automatically based on IO scheduler configurations.
+
+CONFIG_ELV_FAIR_QUEUING
+	- Enables/Disables the fair queuing logic at elevator layer.
+
+CONFIG_GROUP_IOSCHED
+	- Enables/Disables hierarchical queuing and associated cgroup bits.
+
+HOWTO
+=====
+You can do a very simple testing of running two dd threads in two different
+cgroups. Here is what you can do.
+
+- Enable hierarchical scheduling in io scheuduler of your choice (say cfq).
+	CONFIG_IOSCHED_CFQ_HIER=y
+
+- Enable IO tracking for async writes.
+	CONFIG_TRACK_ASYNC_CONTEXT=y
+
+  (This will automatically select CGROUP_BLKIO)
+
+- Compile and boot into kernel and mount IO controller and blkio io tracking
+  controller.
+
+	mount -t cgroup -o io,blkio none /cgroup
+
+- Create two cgroups
+	mkdir -p /cgroup/test1/ /cgroup/test2
+
+- Set weights of group test1 and test2
+	echo 1000 > /cgroup/test1/io.weight
+	echo 500 > /cgroup/test2/io.weight
+
+- Set "fairness" parameter to 1 at the disk you are testing.
+
+  echo 1 > /sys/block/<disk>/queue/iosched/fairness
+
+- Create two same size files (say 512MB each) on same disk (file1, file2) and
+  launch two dd threads in different cgroup to read those files. Make sure
+  right io scheduler is being used for the block device where files are
+  present (the one you compiled in hierarchical mode).
+
+	sync
+	echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches
+
+	dd if=/mnt/sdb/zerofile1 of=/dev/null &
+	echo $! > /cgroup/test1/tasks
+	cat /cgroup/test1/tasks
+
+	dd if=/mnt/sdb/zerofile2 of=/dev/null &
+	echo $! > /cgroup/test2/tasks
+	cat /cgroup/test2/tasks
+
+- At macro level, first dd should finish first. To get more precise data, keep
+  on looking at (with the help of script), at io.disk_time and io.disk_sectors
+  files of both test1 and test2 groups. This will tell how much disk time
+  (in milli seconds), each group got and how many secotors each group
+  dispatched to the disk. We provide fairness in terms of disk time, so
+  ideally io.disk_time of cgroups should be in proportion to the weight.
+
+Some High Level Test setups
+===========================
+One of the use cases of IO controller is to provide some kind of IO isolation
+between multiple virtual machines on the same host. Following is one
+example setup which worked for me.
+
+
+			     KVM	     KVM
+			    Guest1	    Guest2
+			   ---------      ----------
+			  |  -----  |    |  ------  |
+			  | | vdb | |    | | vdb  | |
+			  |  -----  |    |   ------ |
+			   ---------      ----------
+
+			   ---------------------------
+			  | Host		      |
+			  |         -------------     |
+			  |        | sdb1 | sdb2 |    |
+			  |         -------------     |
+			   ---------------------------
+
+On host machine, I had a spare SATA disk. I created two partitions sdb1
+and sdb2 and gave this partitions as additional storage to kvm guests. sdb1
+to KVM guest1 and sdb2 KVM guest2. These storage appeared as /dev/vdb in
+both the guests. Formatted the /dev/vdb and created ext3 file system and
+started a 1G file writeout in both the guests. Before writeout I had created
+two cgroups of weight 1000 and 500 and put virtual machines in two different
+groups.
+
+Following is write I started in both the guests.
+
+dd if=/dev/zero of=/mnt/vdb/zerofile1 bs=4K count=262144 conv=fdatasync
+
+Following are the results on host with "deadline" scheduler.
+
+group1 time=8:16 16946 group1 sectors=8:16 2104896
+group2 time=8:16 8253 group2 sectors=8:16 998928
+
+Virtual machine with cgroup weight 1000 got almost double the time of virtual
+machine with weight 500.
+
+What Works and What Does not
+============================
+Service differentiation at application level can be noticed only if completely
+parallel IO paths are created from application to IO scheduler and there
+are no serializations introduced by any intermediate layer. For example,
+in some cases file system and page cache layer introduce serialization and
+we don't see service difference between higher weight and lower weight
+process groups.
+
+For example, when I start an O_SYNC write out on an ext3 file system (file
+is being created newly), I see lots of activity from kjournald. I have not
+gone into details yet, but my understanding is that there are lot more
+journal commits and kjournald kind of introduces serialization between two
+processes. So even if you put these two processes in two different cgroups
+with different weights, higher weight process will not see more IO done.
+
+It does work very well when we bypass filesystem layer and IO is raw. For
+example in above virtual machine case, host sees raw synchronous writes
+coming from two guest machines and filesystem layer at host is not introducing
+any kind of serialization hence we can see the service difference.
+
+It also works very well for reads even on the same file system as for reads
+file system journalling activity does not kick in and we can create parallel
+IO paths from application to all the way down to IO scheduler and get more
+IO done on the IO path with higher weight.
+
+Regarding "fairness" parameter
+==============================
+IO controller has introduced a "fairness" tunable for every io scheduler.
+Currently this tunable can assume values 0, 1.
+
+If fairness is set to 1, then IO controller waits for requests to finish from
+previous queue before requests from new queue are dispatched. This helps in
+doing better accouting of disk time consumed by a queue. If this is not done
+then on a queuing hardware, there can be requests from multiple queues and
+we will not have any idea which queue consumed how much of disk time.
+
+Details of cgroup files
+=======================
+- io.ioprio_class
+	- Specifies class of the cgroup (RT, BE, IDLE). This is default io
+	  class of the group on all the devices until and unless overridden by
+	  per device rule. (See io.policy).
+
+	  1 = RT; 2 = BE, 3 = IDLE
+
+- io.weight
+	- Specifies per cgroup weight. This is default weight of the group
+	  on all the devices until and unless overridden by per device rule.
+	  (See io.policy).
+
+	  Currently allowed range of weights is from 1 to 1000.
+
+- io.disk_time
+	- disk time allocated to cgroup per device in milliseconds. First
+	  two fields specify the major and minor number of the device and
+	  third field specifies the disk time allocated to group in
+	  milliseconds.
+
+- io.disk_sectors
+	- number of sectors transferred to/from disk by the group. First
+	  two fields specify the major and minor number of the device and
+	  third field specifies the number of sectors transferred by the
+	  group to/from the device.
+
+- io.disk_queue
+	- Debugging aid only enabled if CONFIG_DEBUG_GROUP_IOSCHED=y. This
+	  gives the statistics about how many a times a group was queued
+	  on service tree of the device. First two fields specify the major
+	  and minor number of the device and third field specifies the number
+	  of times a group was queued on a particular device.
+
+- io.disk_queue
+	- Debugging aid only enabled if CONFIG_DEBUG_GROUP_IOSCHED=y. This
+	  gives the statistics about how many a times a group was de-queued
+	  or removed from the service tree of the device. This basically gives
+	  and idea if we can generate enough IO to create continuously
+	  backlogged groups. First two fields specify the major and minor
+	  number of the device and third field specifies the number
+	  of times a group was de-queued on a particular device.
+
+- io.policy
+	- One can specify per cgroup per device rules using this interface.
+	  These rules override the default value of group weight and class as
+	  specified by io.weight and io.ioprio_class.
+
+	  Following is the format.
+
+	#echo dev_maj:dev_minor weight ioprio_class > /patch/to/cgroup/io.policy
+
+	weight=0 means removing a policy.
+
+	Examples:
+
+	Configure weight=300 ioprio_class=2 on /dev/hdb (8:16) in this cgroup
+	# echo 8:16 300 2 > io.policy
+	# cat io.policy
+	dev	weight	class
+	8:16	300	2
+
+	Configure weight=500 ioprio_class=1 on /dev/hda (8:0) in this cgroup
+	# echo 8:0 500 1 > io.policy
+	# cat io.policy
+	dev	weight	class
+	8:0	500	1
+	8:16	300	2
+
+	Remove the policy for /dev/hda in this cgroup
+	# echo 8:0 0 1 > io.policy
+	# cat io.policy
+	dev	weight	class
+	8:16	300	2
+
+About configuring request desriptors
+====================================
+Traditionally there are 128 request desriptors allocated per request queue
+where io scheduler is operating (/sys/block/<disk>/queue/nr_requests). If these
+request descriptors are exhausted, processes will put to sleep and woken
+up once request descriptors are available.
+
+With io controller and cgroup stuff, one can not afford to allocate requests
+from single pool as one group might allocate lots of requests and then tasks
+from other groups might be put to sleep and this other group might be a
+higher weight group. Hence to make sure that a group always can get the
+request descriptors it is entitled to, one needs to make request descriptor
+limit per group on every queue.
+
+A new parameter /sys/block/<disk>/queue/nr_group_requests has been introduced
+and this parameter controlls the maximum number of requests per group.
+nr_requests still continues to control total number of request descriptors
+on the queue.
+
+Ideally one should set nr_requests to be following.
+
+nr_requests = number_of_cgroups * nr_group_requests
+
+This will make sure that at any point of time nr_group_requests number of
+request descriptors will be available for any of the cgroups.
+
+Currently default nr_requests=512 and nr_group_requests=128. This will make
+sure that apart from root group one can create 3 more group without running
+into any issues. If one decides to create more cgorus, nr_requests and
+nr_group_requests should be adjusted accordingly.
+
+Issues
+======
+- How to do more accurate disk time accounting, especially with CFQ. We
+  don't start disk time accounting till first request from the queue has
+  completed. But there are cases like above virtual machine setup, where
+  closely cooperating threads issue 1-2 request per thread/io context and
+  expire. That means many a times, queue does not get serviced for a long
+  period and gets expired immediately after dispatching one request. First
+  request is free so we are left with queue disk time as zero and that's
+  problematic.

[PATCH 02/24] io-controller: Core of the elevator fair queuing

[Vivek Goyal]

o This is core of the io scheduler implemented at elevator layer. This is a mix
  of cpu CFS scheduler and CFQ IO scheduler. Some of the bits from CFS have
  to be derived so that we can support hierarchical scheduling. Without
  cgroups or with-in group, we should essentially get same behavior as CFQ.

o This patch only shows non-hierarchical bits. Hierarhical code comes in later
  patches.

o This code is the building base of introducing fair queuing logic in common
  elevator layer so that it can be used by all the four IO schedulers.

[PATCH 03/24] io-controller: Common flat fair queuing code in elevaotor layer

[Vivek Goyal]

This is common fair queuing code in elevator layer. This is controlled by
config option CONFIG_ELV_FAIR_QUEUING. This patch initially only introduces
flat fair queuing support where there is only one group, "root group" and all
the tasks belong to root group.

This elevator layer changes are backward compatible. That means any ioscheduler
using old interfaces will continue to work.

This is essentially a lot of CFQ logic moved into common layer so that other
IO schedulers can make use of that in hierarhical scheduling setup.

+	  Traditionally only cfq had notion of multiple queues and it did
+	  fair queuing at its own. With the cgroups and need of controlling
+	  IO, now even the simple io schedulers like noop, deadline, as will
+	  have one queue per cgroup and will need hierarchical fair queuing.
+	  Instead of every io scheduler implementing its own fair queuing
+	  logic, this option enables fair queuing in elevator layer so that
+	  other ioschedulers can make use of it.

[PATCH 07/24] io-controller: Common hierarchical fair queuing code in elevaotor layer

[Vivek Goyal]

o This patch enables hierarchical fair queuing in common layer. It is
  controlled by config option CONFIG_GROUP_IOSCHED.

o Requests keep a reference on ioq and ioq keeps  keep a reference
  on groups. For async queues in CFQ, and single ioq in other
  schedulers, io_group also keeps are reference on io_queue. This
  reference on ioq is dropped when the queue is released
  (elv_release_ioq). So the queue can be freed.

  When a queue is released, it puts the reference to io_group and the
  io_group is released after all the queues are released. Child groups
  also take reference on parent groups, and release it when they are
  destroyed.

o Reads of iocg->group_data are not always iocg->lock; so all the operations
  on that list are still protected by RCU. All modifications to
  iocg->group_data should always done under iocg->lock.

  Whenever iocg->lock and queue_lock can both be held, queue_lock should
  be held first. This avoids all deadlocks. In order to avoid race
  between cgroup deletion and elevator switch the following algorithm is
  used:

	- Cgroup deletion path holds iocg->lock and removes iog entry
	  to iocg->group_data list. Then it drops iocg->lock, holds
	  queue_lock and destroys iog. So in this path, we never hold
	  iocg->lock and queue_lock at the same time. Also, since we
	  remove iog from iocg->group_data under iocg->lock, we can't
	  race with elevator switch.

	- Elevator switch path does not remove iog from
	  iocg->group_data list directly. It first hold iocg->lock,
	  scans iocg->group_data again to see if iog is still there;
	  it removes iog only if it finds iog there. Otherwise, cgroup
	  deletion must have removed it from the list, and cgroup
	  deletion is responsible for removing iog.

  So the path which removes iog from iocg->group_data list does
  the final removal of iog by calling __io_destroy_group()
  function.

[PATCH 10/24] io-controller: Debug hierarchical IO scheduling

[Vivek Goyal]

o Littile debugging aid for hierarchical IO scheduling.

o Enabled under CONFIG_DEBUG_GROUP_IOSCHED

o Currently it outputs more debug messages in blktrace output which helps
  a great deal in debugging in hierarchical setup. It also creates additional
  cgroup interfaces io.disk_queue and io.disk_dequeue to output some more
  debugging data.

[PATCH 11/24] io-controller: Introduce group idling

[Vivek Goyal]

o It is not always that IO from a process or group is continuous. There are
  cases of dependent reads where next read is not issued till previous read
  has finished. For such cases, CFQ introduced the notion of slice_idle,
  where we idle on the queue for sometime hoping next request will come
  and that's how fairness is provided otherwise queue will be deleted
  immediately from the service tree and this process will not get the
  fair share.

o This patch introduces the similar concept at group level. Idle on the group
  for a period of "group_idle" which is tunable through sysfs interface. So
  if a group is empty and about to be deleted, we idle for the next request.

o This patch also introduces the notion of wait busy where we wait for one
  extra group_idle period even if queue has consumed its time slice. The
  reason being that group will loose its share upon removal from service
  tree as some other entity will be picked for dispatch and vtime jump will
  take place.

[PATCH 12/24] io-controller: Wait for requests to complete from last queue before new queue is scheduled

[Vivek Goyal]

o Currently one can dispatch requests from multiple queues to the disk. This
  is true for hardware which supports queuing. So if a disk support queue
  depth of 31 it is possible that 20 requests are dispatched from queue 1
  and then next queue is scheduled in which dispatches more requests.

o This multiple queue dispatch introduces issues for accurate accounting of
  disk time consumed by a particular queue. For example, if one async queue
  is scheduled in, it can dispatch 31 requests to the disk and then it will
  be expired and a new sync queue might get scheduled in. These 31 requests
  might take a long time to finish but this time is never accounted to the
  async queue which dispatched these requests.

o This patch introduces the functionality where we wait for all the requests
  to finish from previous queue before next queue is scheduled in. That way
  a queue is more accurately accounted for disk time it has consumed. Note
  this still does not take care of errors introduced by disk write caching.

o Because above behavior can result in reduced throughput, this behavior will
  be enabled only if user sets "fairness" tunable to 1.

o This patch helps in achieving more isolation between reads and buffered
  writes in different cgroups. buffered writes typically utilize full queue
  depth and then expire the queue. On the contarary, sequential reads
  typicaly driver queue depth of 1. So despite the fact that writes are
  using more disk time it is never accounted to write queue because we don't
  wait for requests to finish after dispatching these. This patch helps
  do more accurate accounting of disk time, especially for buffered writes
  hence providing better fairness hence better isolation between two cgroups
  running read and write workloads.

[PATCH 13/24] io-controller: Separate out queue and data

[Vivek Goyal]

o So far noop, deadline and AS had one common structure called *_data which
  contained both the queue information where requests are queued and also
  common data used for scheduling. This patch breaks down this common
  structure in two parts, *_queue and *_data. This is along the lines of
  cfq where all the reuquests are queued in queue and common data and tunables
  are part of data.

o It does not change the functionality but this re-organization helps once
  noop, deadline and AS are changed to use hierarchical fair queuing.

o looks like queue_empty function is not required and we can check for
  q->nr_sorted in elevator layer to see if ioscheduler queues are empty or
  not.

[PATCH 14/24] io-conroller: Prepare elevator layer for single queue schedulers

[Vivek Goyal]

Elevator layer now has support for hierarchical fair queuing. cfq has
been migrated to make use of it and now it is time to do groundwork for
noop, deadline and AS.

noop deadline and AS don't maintain separate queues for different processes.
There is only one single queue. Effectively one can think that in hierarchical
setup, there will be one queue per cgroup where requests from all the
processes in the cgroup will be queued.

Generally io scheduler takes care of creating queues. Because there is
only one queue here, we have modified common layer to take care of queue
creation and some other functionality. This special casing helps in keeping
the changes to noop, deadline and AS to the minimum.

[PATCH 17/24] io-controller: anticipatory changes for hierarchical fair queuing

[Vivek Goyal]

This patch changes anticipatory scheduler to use queue scheduling code from
elevator layer.  One can go back to old as by deselecting
CONFIG_IOSCHED_AS_HIER. Even with CONFIG_IOSCHED_AS_HIER=y, with-out any
other cgroup created, AS behavior should remain the same as old.

o AS is a single queue ioschduler, that means there is one AS queue per group.

o common layer code select the queue to dispatch from based on fairness, and
  then AS code selects the request with-in group.

o AS runs reads and writes batches with-in group. So common layer runs timed
  group queues and with-in group time, AS runs timed batches of reads and
  writes.

o Note: Previously AS write batch length was adjusted synamically whenever
  a W->R batch data direction took place and when first request from the
  read batch completed.

  Now write batch updation takes place when last request from the write
  batch has finished during W->R transition.

o AS runs its own anticipation logic to anticipate on reads. common layer also
  does the anticipation on the group if think time of the group is with-in
  slice_idle.

o Introduced few debugging messages in AS.

[PATCH 18/24] blkio_cgroup patches from Ryo to track async bios.

[Vivek Goyal]

o blkio_cgroup patches from Ryo to track async bios.

o Fernando is also working on another IO tracking mechanism. We are not
  particular about any IO tracking mechanism. This patchset can make use
  of any mechanism which makes it to upstream. For the time being making
  use of Ryo's posting.

Based on 2.6.30-rc3-git3

[PATCH 19/24] io-controller: map async requests to appropriate cgroup

[Vivek Goyal]

o So far we were assuming that a bio/rq belongs to the task who is submitting
  it. It did not hold good in case of async writes. This patch makes use of
  blkio_cgroup pataches to attribute the aysnc writes to right group instead
  of task submitting the bio.

o For sync requests, we continue to assume that io belongs to the task
  submitting it. Only in case of async requests, we make use of io tracking
  patches to track the owner cgroup.

o So far cfq always caches the async queue pointer. With async requests now
  not necessarily being tied to submitting task io context, caching the
  pointer will not help for async queues. This patch introduces a new config
  option CONFIG_TRACK_ASYNC_CONTEXT. If this option is not set, cfq retains
  old behavior where async queue pointer is cached in task context. If it
  is set, async queue pointer is not cached and we take help of bio
  tracking patches to determine group bio belongs to and then map it to
  async queue of that group.

[PATCH 20/24] io-controller: Per cgroup request descriptor support

[Vivek Goyal]

o Currently a request queue has got fixed number of request descriptors for
  sync and async requests. Once the request descriptors are consumed, new
  processes are put to sleep and they effectively become serialized. Because
  sync and async queues are separate, async requests don't impact sync ones
  but if one is looking for fairness between async requests, that is not
  achievable if request queue descriptors become bottleneck.

o Make request descriptor's per io group so that if there is lots of IO
  going on in one cgroup, it does not impact the IO of other group.

o This is just one relatively simple way of doing things. This patch will
  probably change after the feedback. Folks have raised concerns that in
  hierchical setup, child's request descriptors should be capped by parent's
  request descriptors. May be we need to have per cgroup per device files
  in cgroups where one can specify the upper limit of request descriptors
  and whenever a cgroup is created one needs to assign request descritor
  limit making sure total sum of child's request descriptor is not more than
  of parent.

  I guess something like memory controller. Anyway, that would be the next
  step. For the time being, we have implemented something simpler as follows.

o This patch implements the per cgroup request descriptors. request pool per
  queue is still common but every group will have its own wait list and its
  own count of request descriptors allocated to that group for sync and async
  queues. So effectively request_list becomes per io group property and not a
  global request queue feature.

o Currently one can define q->nr_requests to limit request descriptors
  allocated for the queue. Now there is another tunable q->nr_group_requests
  which controls the requests descriptr limit per group. q->nr_requests
  supercedes q->nr_group_requests to make sure if there are lots of groups
  present, we don't end up allocating too many request descriptors on the
  queue.

[PATCH 21/24] io-controller: Per io group bdi congestion interface

[Vivek Goyal]

o So far there used to be only one pair or queue  of request descriptors
  (one for sync and one for async) per device and number of requests allocated
  used to decide whether associated bdi is congested or not.

  Now with per io group request descriptor infrastructure, there is a pair
  of request descriptor queue per io group per device. So it might happen
  that overall request queue is not congested but a particular io group
  bio belongs to is congested.

  Or, it could be otherwise that group is not congested but overall queue
  is congested. This can happen if user has not properly set the request
  descriptors limits for queue and groups.
  (q->nr_requests < nr_groups * q->nr_group_requests)

  Hence there is a need for new interface which can query deivce congestion
  status per group. This group is determined by the "struct page" IO will be
  done for. If page is null, then group is determined from the current task
  context.

o This patch introduces new set of function bdi_*_congested_group(), which
  take "struct page" as addition argument. These functions will call the
  block layer and in trun elevator to find out if the io group the page will
  go into is congested or not.

o Currently I have introduced the core functions and migrated most of the users.
  But there might be still some left. This is an ongoing TODO item.

o There are some io_get_io_group() related changes which should be pushed into
  higher patches. Still testing this patch. Will push these changes up in next
  posting.

[PATCH 22/24] io-controller: Support per cgroup per device weights and io class

[Vivek Goyal]

This patch enables per-cgroup per-device weight and ioprio_class handling.
A new cgroup interface "policy" is introduced. You can make use of this
file to configure weight and ioprio_class for each device in a given cgroup.
The original "weight" and "ioprio_class" files are still available. If you
don't do special configuration for a particular device, "weight" and
"ioprio_class" are used as default values in this device.

You can use the following format to play with the new interface.
#echo dev_major:dev_minor weight ioprio_class > /patch/to/cgroup/policy
weight=0 means removing the policy for device.

Examples:
Configure weight=300 ioprio_class=2 on /dev/hdb (8:16) in this cgroup
# echo "8:16 300 2" > io.policy
# cat io.policy
dev	weight	class
8:16	300	2

Configure weight=500 ioprio_class=1 on /dev/hda (8:0) in this cgroup
# echo "8:0 500 1" > io.policy
# cat io.policy
dev	weight	class
8:0	500	1
8:16	300	2

Remove the policy for /dev/hda in this cgroup
# echo 8:0 0 1 > io.policy
# cat io.policy
dev	weight	class
8:16	300	2

Changelog (v1 -> v2)
- Rename some structures
- Use spin_lock_irqsave() and spin_lock_irqrestore() version to prevent
  from enabling the interrupts unconditionally.
- Fix policy setup bug when switching to another io scheduler.
- If a policy is available for a specific device, don't update weight and
  io class when writing "weight" and "iprio_class".
- Fix a bug when parsing policy string.

[PATCH 23/24] io-controller: map sync requests to group using bio tracking info

[Vivek Goyal]

o sync requests are mapped to the cgroup submitting tasks belongs to. This
  is an experimental patch where sync requets can be mapped to the group
  using bio tracking information and not submitting task's context.

o This patch implements this functionality only for noop, deadline and AS.

o Introducing this patch for experimental purposes to see if it is really
  meaningful or not.

o This behavior is turned on by setting /sys/block/<disk>/queue/iosched/map_sync  varibale.

[PATCH 24/24] io-controller: debug elevator fair queuing support

[Vivek Goyal]

o More debugging help to debug elevator fair queuing support. Enabled under
  CONFIG_DEBUG_ELV_FAIR_QUEUING. Currently it prints vdisktime related
  trace messages in blktrace.

Should we set vdisktime a little small than st->min_vdisktime to ensure putting
this entity at the left-most position when add_front is set?

Hi Gui,

Good point. Actually instead of giving a little smaller time, I have
modified __enqueue_io_entity() to take additional argument to put the
entity at the front of the rb-tree. Please find attached the patch.

Thanks
Vivek

o There can be multiple entities with same vdisktime that is equal to
  min_vdisktime. If one queue decids to preempt the current queue and even
  if we assign the min_vdisktime to preempting queue, it will not be dispatched
  first as there are other entities with same vdisktime. This patch adds
  an option to __enqueue_entity() telling it that new entity being queued
  is to be added at front hence in case of equal queues, instead of going
  right of the tree, it goes to the left of the tree.

o Also update the min_vdisktime() after selecting a new queue. Currently
  min_vdisktime() is updated only upon queue expiry. But it might hapeen
  that after queue expiry (put_prev_entity()), queue got deleted because
  it did not have any request. In that case min_vdisktime and vdisktime
  of leftmost entity might differ. Hence make sure to update min_vdisktime
  when an entity is selected for dispatch.

The patch attached with your mail is obsolete and it may potentially
cause a deadlock when lock_page_cgroup() is called under radix_tree->lock.
http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commit;h=e767e0561d7fd2333df1921f1ab4176211f9036b

The latest blkio-cgroup fixes the above issue and reduces IO tracking
overhead since lock_page_cgroup() is no longer used. I would recommend
to update to the latest version.

And I have a suggestion, how about moving get_cgroup_from_page() to
biotrack.c, I think this function would be useful for people who
want to make use of the IO tracking mechanism.

Please let me know your opinion.

Thanks,
Ryo Tsuruta

Hi Ryo,

Makes sense. In next posting, will move get_cgroup_from_page() to biotrack.c.

Thank you for your reply. I'll post the new blkio-cgroup reflected in

I think this assignment is redundant because these two members will be reset
when this ioq is scheduled.

That call to io_entity_update_prio() looks redundant with the one in

One more fix for the scheduler. During testing I found that a writer can be
disptching for long time and not give reader as much disk time as CFQ does.
This patch fixes it. Will merge it in next posting.


o Requeue the aysnc ioq after one dispatch round. This emulates the CFQ
  behavior. This means that an async ioq will go back into the service tree
  with a new vtime (at the end of last entity) instead of incrementing the
  vtime as per the service received.

  CFQ expires the async queues if it has dispatched more than
  cfq_prio_to_maxrq() requests. All this happen with-in a jiffy and that would
  mean that vtime increase will be very less and async queue will continue
  to be served for long time.

  Hence like CFQ, requeue the aysnc queue after one dispatch round.

Hi Vivek,

I guess we need to clear ioq_wait_request flags if there are requests to 
go in this ioq. Otherwise, once waitting request on ioq, it will go into
this path every time when a request is enqueued.

It does sound like that we need to clear ioq wait_request flag here. In
fact upstream CFQ code is also not clearing this flag. Looking at the
code, can't think why it should not be cleared here.

Can you please also generate a patch for CFQ and post to lkml.

Thanks
Vivek

One more thing. io_entity_update_prio(entity) can change entity->st, so we'd
better set st after io_entity_update_prio() call. I think it fixes a bug I've
seen when changing elevator and ioprio_class at the same time:

Makes sense. I got three service trees and if a user has changed the
ioprio class it will also change the service tree on which entity should
go in. Hence "st" should be initialized only when we have accomodated the
prio class changes which ascertains the service tree also.

Thanks Jerome. Will merge it in next posting.

Hi Vivek,

we don't need to update prio here for the following enqueue_io_entity() 
is already taking care of it.

Since we have the routing to access to ioq->dispatched, why not to use it.
