14 years agoxfs: improve metadata I/O merging in the elevator

xfs: improve metadata I/O merging in the elevator

Change all async metadata buffers to use [READ|WRITE]_META I/O types
so that the I/O doesn't get issued immediately. This allows merging of
adjacent metadata requests but still prioritises them over bulk data.
This shows a 10-15% improvement in sequential create speed of small
files.

Don't include the log buffers in this classification - leave them as
sync types so they are issued immediately.

direct-io: cleanup blockdev_direct_IO locking

Currently the locking in blockdev_direct_IO is a mess, we have three
different locking types and very confusing checks for some of them.  The
most complicated one is DIO_OWN_LOCKING for reads, which happens to not
actually be used.

This patch gets rid of the DIO_OWN_LOCKING - as mentioned above the read
case is unused anyway, and the write side is almost identical to
DIO_NO_LOCKING.  The difference is that DIO_NO_LOCKING always sets the
create argument for the get_blocks callback to zero, but we can easily
move that to the actual get_blocks callbacks.  There are four users of the
DIO_NO_LOCKING mode: gfs already ignores the create argument and thus is
fine with the new version, ocfs2 only errors out if create were ever set,
and we can remove this dead code now, the block device code only ever uses
create for an error message if we are fully beyond the device which can
never happen, and last but not least XFS will need the new behavour for
writes.

Now we can replace the lock_type variable with a flags one, where no flag
means the DIO_NO_LOCKING behaviour and DIO_LOCKING is kept as the first
flag.  Separate out the check for not allowing to fill holes into a
separate flag, although for now both flags always get set at the same
time.

Also revamp the documentation of the locking scheme to actually make
sense.

Jeff Moyer [Wed, 16 Dec 2009 00:47:49 +0000 (16:47 -0800)]
dio: don't zero out the pages array inside struct dio

Intel reported a performance regression caused by the following commit:

commit 848c4dd5153c7a0de55470ce99a8e13a63b4703f
Author: Zach Brown <zach.brown@oracle.com>
Date:   Mon Aug 20 17:12:01 2007 -0700

    dio: zero struct dio with kzalloc instead of manually

    This patch uses kzalloc to zero all of struct dio rather than
    manually trying to track which fields we rely on being zero.  It
    passed aio+dio stress testing and some bug regression testing on
    ext3.

    This patch was introduced by Linus in the conversation that lead up
    to Badari's minimal fix to manually zero .map_bh.b_state in commit:

      6a648fa72161d1f6468dabd96c5d3c0db04f598a

    It makes the code a bit smaller.  Maybe a couple fewer cachelines to
    load, if we're lucky:

       text    data     bss     dec     hex filename
    3285925  568506 1304616 5159047  4eb887 vmlinux
    3285797  568506 1304616 5158919  4eb807 vmlinux.patched

    I was unable to measure a stable difference in the number of cpu
    cycles spent in blockdev_direct_IO() when pushing aio+dio 256K reads
    at ~340MB/s.

    So the resulting intent of the patch isn't a performance gain but to
    avoid exposing ourselves to the risk of finding another field like
    .map_bh.b_state where we rely on zeroing but don't enforce it in the
    code.

Zach surmised that zeroing out the page array was what caused most of
the problem, and suggested the approach taken in the attached patch for
resolving the issue.  Intel re-tested with this patch and saw a 0.6%
performance gain (the original regression was 0.5%).

to 1.  Without this patch, all 100 entries are scanned.  With the patch,
only one entry is scanned, then woken up.  Then the new rule triggers and
the scanning is aborted, without looking at the remaining 99 tasks.

The strange sysv semaphore wakeup scheme has a kind of busy-wait lock
involved, which could deadlock if preemption is enabled during the "lock".

It is an implementation detail (due to a spinlock being held) that this is
actually the case.  However if "spinlocks" are made preemptible, or if the
sem lock is changed to a sleeping lock for example, then the wakeup would
become buggy.  So this might be a bugfix for -rt kernels.

Imagine waker being preempted by wakee and never clearing IN_WAKEUP -- if
wakee has higher RT priority then there is a priority inversion deadlock.
Even if there is not a priority inversion to cause a deadlock, then there
