From: Corrado Zoccolo Date: Mon, 26 Oct 2009 21:45:29 +0000 (+0100) Subject: cfq-iosched: fairness for sync no-idle queues X-Git-Url: http://git.lede-project.org./?a=commitdiff_plain;h=718eee0579b802aabe3bafacf09d0a9b0830f1dd;p=openwrt%2Fstaging%2Fblogic.git cfq-iosched: fairness for sync no-idle queues Currently no-idle queues in cfq are not serviced fairly: even if they can only dispatch a small number of requests at a time, they have to compete with idling queues to be serviced, experiencing large latencies. We should notice, instead, that no-idle queues are the ones that would benefit most from having low latency, in fact they are any of: * processes with large think times (e.g. interactive ones like file managers) * seeky (e.g. programs faulting in their code at startup) * or marked as no-idle from upper levels, to improve latencies of those requests. This patch improves the fairness and latency for those queues, by: * separating sync idle, sync no-idle and async queues in separate service_trees, for each priority * service all no-idle queues together * and idling when the last no-idle queue has been serviced, to anticipate for more no-idle work * the timeslices allotted for idle and no-idle service_trees are computed proportionally to the number of processes in each set. Servicing all no-idle queues together should have a performance boost for NCQ-capable drives, without compromising fairness.
