[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v2 00/13] blockjob: refactor mirror_throttle

[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v2 00/13] blockjob: refactor mirror_throttle

[John Snow]

mirror_throttle attempts to make sure we yield every so often when we're
doing operations that may not otherwise be as cooperative as we'd like.

This pattern is useful to other jobs like commit as well; if commit
continuously decides not to copy data (and calculates delay_ns to be 0),
we'll frequently and aggressively yield, only to be rescheduled immediately.

This causes those "WARNING: I/O thread spun for 1000 iterations"
warnings that everyone loves so much.

Split out the mirror_throttle function to become a new internal
BlockJob API function, block_job_throttle; then use it for all
the other jobs in their runtime loops.

I decided to use it in stream and backup as well, so that regardless of if the
loop structure has the chance to be greedy or not (I did not audit this), the
BlockJob has some kind of failsafe that will occasionally perform a 0ns sleep
every SLICE_TIME.

v2:
 - Fixed spacing consistency (Paolo)
 - Renamed last_yield_ns to last_enter_ns (Stefan)
 - Renamed block_job_throttle to block_job_relax (Stefan)
 - Removed external usages of block_job_pause_point and
   block_job_sleep_ns (Paolo)
 - Further cut down block/backup code to use block_job_relax

[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v2 01/13] blockjob: record time of last entrance

[John Snow]

The mirror job makes a semi-inaccurate record of the last time we yielded
by recording the last time we left a "pause", but this doesn't always
correlate to the time we actually last successfully ceded control.

Record the time we last *exited* a yield centrally. In other words, record
the time we began execution of this job to know how long we have been
selfish for.

Hmmm.  So you're now relying on block_job_sleep_ns() updating
last_enter_ns.  But it will only do so if we actually do sleep, which we
will not if the block job has been cancelled.

Then, last_enter_ns will stay at its current value indefinitely because
neither block_job_sleep_ns() nor block_job_pause_point() will yield.
OK, so at this point we should leave the mirror loop.  There are three
points where this is done:

(1) If s->ret < 0.  OK, let's hope it isn't.
(2) If cnt == 0 && should_complete.  We'll come back to that.
(3) If !s->synced && block_job_is_cancelled(...).  So basically now, if
the job has not emitted a READY event yet.

But if we have emitted the READY, we have to wait for cnt == 0 &&
should_complete (note that should_complete in turn will only be set if
s->in_flight == 0 && cnt == 0).  But unless delta < SLICE_TIME, we will
never do another mirror_iteration(), so unless we have already started
the necessary requests, they will never be started and we will loop forever.

So try this on master (I prefixed the QMP lines with in/out depending on
the direction -- note that it's important to have the block-job-cancel
on the same line the human-monitor-command finishes on so they are
executed right after each other!):

But with your patch, the BLOCK_JOB_COMPLETED never appears (it should
take four seconds).

A yield has two timestamps, one pre-yield, one post-yield.  Maybe it
should be noted that this records the post-yield one because that's not
what I'd assume just based on the comment, but OTOH the name of the
variable should be enough to clear that up.

They're all the same. If it actually becomes important to configure it,
it can become a job or driver property.

[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v2 04/13] blockjob: allow block_job_throttle to take delay_ns

[John Snow]

Instead of only sleeping for 0ms when we've hit a timeout, optionally
take a longer more explicit delay_ns that always forces the sleep.

I can't say I like the readability of that any better...

(And I'd argue that if delay_ns > 0, the one superfluous call to
qemu_clock_get_ns() isn't going to harm performance.)

That "Otherwise" now sounds as if it refers to the "If delay_ns is 0".

Code change is OK, but this comment needs some fixing.

[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v2 05/13] block/commit: use block_job_relax

[John Snow]

Depending on the value of `speed` and how fast our backends are,
delay_ns might be 0 very, very often. This creates some warning
messages that spook users, but it's also pretty inefficient.

Use block_job_relax instead to yield a little more intelligently.

[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v2 08/13] allow block_job_relax to return -ECANCELED

[John Snow]

This is just an optimization for callers who are likely going to
want to check quite close to this call if the job was canceled or
not anyway.

Along the same lines, add the return to block_job_pause_point and
block_job_sleep_ns, so we don't have to re-check it quite so
excessively.

But jobs are “cancelled” and not “canceled”.

[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v2 09/13] block/backup: remove yield_and_check

[John Snow]

This is a respin of the same functionality as mirror_throttle,
so trash this and replace it with the generic version.

yield_and_check returned true if canceled, false otherwise.
block_job_relax returns -ECANCELED if canceled, 0 otherwise.

I'd very much prefer an explicit block_job_relax(...) == -ECANCELED, I
have to say.

If you coerce me, I can give an R-b, but you'll have to wrest it from me
by force!

[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v2 11/13] block/mirror: remove block_job_sleep_ns calls

[John Snow]

We're attempting to slacken the mirror loop in three different places,
but we can combine these three attempts. Combine the early loop call to
block_job_pause_point with the two late-loop calls to block_job_sleep_ns.

When delay_ns is 0 and it has not been SLICE_TIME since the last yield,
block_job_relax is merely a call to block_job_pause_point, so this should
be equivalent with the exception that if we have managed to not yield at
all in the last SLICE_TIME ns, we will now do so.

I am not sure that condition was possible,
so this loop should be equivalent.

Well, to me it even sounds like a positive change if it was a change.
We want the job to yield after SLICE_TIME ns, after all, and I don't
think it matters where that happens, exactly.

Errr.  Are you sure about that?

Now every mirror job in the qeny process will share this single
variable.  Was that your intention?

Basic idea looks good to me (apart from the static delay_ns), but, well,
block-job-cancel on a busy job still breaks.

Duh, no.

Thanks for the review, also. I'm currently sidetracked on something
else, so I'll get back to this soon.

[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v2 12/13] blockjob: privatize block_job_sleep_ns

[John Snow]

There's not currently any external caller of it.

Except in tests, but we'll fix that here too.

Replace usages in test cases with block_job_relax, which functions
similarly enough to be used as a drop-in replacement.

Very technically block_job_sleep_ns(job, 0) behaves differently
from block_job_relax(job, 0) in that relax may resolve to a no-op,
but this makes no difference in the test in which it is used.

[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v2 13/13] blockjob: remove block_job_pause_point from interface

[John Snow]

Remove the last call in block/mirror, using relax instead.
relax may do nothing if we are canceled, so allow iteration to return
prematurely and allow mirror_run to handle the cancellation logic.

This is a functional change to mirror that should have the effect of
cancelled mirror jobs being able to respond to that request a little
sooner instead of launching new requests.

Ah, now you write it with two l? ;-)

??!??!  Such inconsistency.  Many l.

But jobs can't call this anymore, now.  This part of the comment should
either mention block_job_relax() instead or should be moved there
altogether.
