Subject: [PATCH] cfq-iosched: allow groups preemption for sync-noidle workloads
Date: Thu, 23 Jun 2011 20:21:59 +0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20110623162159.3192.87699.stgit@localhost6> (raw)

commit v2.6.32-102-g8682e1f "blkio: Provide some isolation between groups" break
fast switching between task and journal-thread for very common write-fsync workload.
cfq wait idle slice at each cfqq switch, if this task is from non-root blkio cgroup.

This patch move idling sync-noidle preempting check little bit upwards and update
new service_tree->count check for case with two different groups.
I do not quite understand what means these check for new_cfqq, but now it even works.

Without patch I got 49 iops and with this patch 798, for this trivial fio script:

[write-fsync]
cgroup=test
cgroup_weight=1000
rw=write
fsync=1
size=100m
runtime=10s
