16 * BFQ is a proportional-share I/O scheduler, with some extra
17 * low-latency capabilities. BFQ also supports full hierarchical
18 * scheduling through cgroups. Next paragraphs provide an introduction
19 * on BFQ inner workings. Details on BFQ benefits, usage and
20 * limitations can be found in Documentation/block/bfq-iosched.rst.
22 * BFQ is a proportional-share storage-I/O scheduling algorithm based
23 * on the slice-by-slice service scheme of CFQ. But BFQ assigns
24 * budgets, measured in number of sectors, to processes instead of
25 * time slices. The device is not granted to the in-service process
26 * for a given time slice, but until it has exhausted its assigned
27 * budget. This change from the time to the service domain enables BFQ
28 * to distribute the device throughput among processes as desired,
29 * without any distortion due to throughput fluctuations, or to device
30 * internal queueing. BFQ uses an ad hoc internal scheduler, called
31 * B-WF2Q+, to schedule processes according to their budgets. More
32 * precisely, BFQ schedules queues associated with processes. Each
33 * process/queue is assigned a user-configurable weight, and B-WF2Q+
34 * guarantees that each queue receives a fraction of the throughput
35 * proportional to its weight. Thanks to the accurate policy of
36 * B-WF2Q+, BFQ can afford to assign high budgets to I/O-bound
37 * processes issuing sequential requests (to boost the throughput),
38 * and yet guarantee a low latency to interactive and soft real-time
41 * In particular, to provide these low-latency guarantees, BFQ
42 * explicitly privileges the I/O of two classes of time-sensitive
43 * applications: interactive and soft real-time. In more detail, BFQ
44 * behaves this way if the low_latency parameter is set (default
45 * configuration). This feature enables BFQ to provide applications in
46 * these classes with a very low latency.
48 * To implement this feature, BFQ constantly tries to detect whether
49 * the I/O requests in a bfq_queue come from an interactive or a soft
50 * real-time application. For brevity, in these cases, the queue is
51 * said to be interactive or soft real-time. In both cases, BFQ
52 * privileges the service of the queue, over that of non-interactive
53 * and non-soft-real-time queues. This privileging is performed,
54 * mainly, by raising the weight of the queue. So, for brevity, we
55 * call just weight-raising periods the time periods during which a
56 * queue is privileged, because deemed interactive or soft real-time.
58 * The detection of soft real-time queues/applications is described in
59 * detail in the comments on the function
60 * bfq_bfqq_softrt_next_start. On the other hand, the detection of an
61 * interactive queue works as follows: a queue is deemed interactive
62 * if it is constantly non empty only for a limited time interval,
63 * after which it does become empty. The queue may be deemed
64 * interactive again (for a limited time), if it restarts being
65 * constantly non empty, provided that this happens only after the
66 * queue has remained empty for a given minimum idle time.
68 * By default, BFQ computes automatically the above maximum time
69 * interval, i.e., the time interval after which a constantly
70 * non-empty queue stops being deemed interactive. Since a queue is
71 * weight-raised while it is deemed interactive, this maximum time
72 * interval happens to coincide with the (maximum) duration of the
73 * weight-raising for interactive queues.
75 * Finally, BFQ also features additional heuristics for
76 * preserving both a low latency and a high throughput on NCQ-capable,
77 * rotational or flash-based devices, and to get the job done quickly
78 * for applications consisting in many I/O-bound processes.
80 * NOTE: if the main or only goal, with a given device, is to achieve
81 * the maximum-possible throughput at all times, then do switch off
82 * all low-latency heuristics for that device, by setting low_latency
85 * BFQ is described in [1], where also a reference to the initial,
86 * more theoretical paper on BFQ can be found. The interested reader
87 * can find in the latter paper full details on the main algorithm, as
88 * well as formulas of the guarantees and formal proofs of all the
89 * properties. With respect to the version of BFQ presented in these
90 * papers, this implementation adds a few more heuristics, such as the
91 * ones that guarantee a low latency to interactive and soft real-time
92 * applications, and a hierarchical extension based on H-WF2Q+.
94 * B-WF2Q+ is based on WF2Q+, which is described in [2], together with
95 * H-WF2Q+, while the augmented tree used here to implement B-WF2Q+
96 * with O(log N) complexity derives from the one introduced with EEVDF

272 * When configured for computing the duration of the weight-raising
273 * for interactive queues automatically (see the comments at the
274 * beginning of this file), BFQ does it using the following formula:
275 * duration = (ref_rate / r) * ref_wr_duration,
276 * where r is the peak rate of the device, and ref_rate and
277 * ref_wr_duration are two reference parameters. In particular,
278 * ref_rate is the peak rate of the reference storage device (see
279 * below), and ref_wr_duration is about the maximum time needed, with
280 * BFQ and while reading two files in parallel, to load typical large
281 * applications on the reference device (see the comments on
282 * max_service_from_wr below, for more details on how ref_wr_duration
283 * is obtained). In practice, the slower/faster the device at hand
284 * is, the more/less it takes to load applications with respect to the
285 * reference device. Accordingly, the longer/shorter BFQ grants
286 * weight raising to interactive applications.
288 * BFQ uses two different reference pairs (ref_rate, ref_wr_duration),
289 * depending on whether the device is rotational or non-rotational.
291 * In the following definitions, ref_rate[0] and ref_wr_duration[0]
292 * are the reference values for a rotational device, whereas
293 * ref_rate[1] and ref_wr_duration[1] are the reference values for a
294 * non-rotational device. The reference rates are not the actual peak
295 * rates of the devices used as a reference, but slightly lower
296 * values. The reason for using slightly lower values is that the
297 * peak-rate estimator tends to yield slightly lower values than the
298 * actual peak rate (it can yield the actual peak rate only if there
299 * is only one process doing I/O, and the process does sequential

307 * To improve readability, a conversion function is used to initialize
308 * the following array, which entails that the array can be
309 * initialized only in a function.
311 static int ref_wr_duration[2];
314 * BFQ uses the above-detailed, time-based weight-raising mechanism to
315 * privilege interactive tasks. This mechanism is vulnerable to the
316 * following false positives: I/O-bound applications that will go on
317 * doing I/O for much longer than the duration of weight
318 * raising. These applications have basically no benefit from being
319 * weight-raised at the beginning of their I/O. On the opposite end,
320 * while being weight-raised, these applications
321 * a) unjustly steal throughput to applications that may actually need
323 * b) make BFQ uselessly perform device idling; device idling results
324 * in loss of device throughput with most flash-based storage, and may
325 * increase latencies when used purposelessly.
327 * BFQ tries to reduce these problems, by adopting the following
328 * countermeasure. To introduce this countermeasure, we need first to
329 * finish explaining how the duration of weight-raising for
330 * interactive tasks is computed.
332 * For a bfq_queue deemed as interactive, the duration of weight
333 * raising is dynamically adjusted, as a function of the estimated
334 * peak rate of the device, so as to be equal to the time needed to
335 * execute the 'largest' interactive task we benchmarked so far. By
336 * largest task, we mean the task for which each involved process has
337 * to do more I/O than for any of the other tasks we benchmarked. This
338 * reference interactive task is the start-up of LibreOffice Writer,
339 * and in this task each process/bfq_queue needs to have at most ~110K
340 * sectors transferred.
342 * This last piece of information enables BFQ to reduce the actual
343 * duration of weight-raising for at least one class of I/O-bound
344 * applications: those doing sequential or quasi-sequential I/O. An
345 * example is file copy. In fact, once started, the main I/O-bound
346 * processes of these applications usually consume the above 110K
347 * sectors in much less time than the processes of an application that
348 * is starting, because these I/O-bound processes will greedily devote
349 * almost all their CPU cycles only to their target,
350 * throughput-friendly I/O operations. This is even more true if BFQ
351 * happens to be underestimating the device peak rate, and thus
352 * overestimating the duration of weight raising. But, according to
353 * our measurements, once transferred 110K sectors, these processes
354 * have no right to be weight-raised any longer.
356 * Basing on the last consideration, BFQ ends weight-raising for a
357 * bfq_queue if the latter happens to have received an amount of
358 * service at least equal to the following constant. The constant is
359 * set to slightly more than 110K, to have a minimum safety margin.
361 * This early ending of weight-raising reduces the amount of time
362 * during which interactive false positives cause the two problems
363 * described at the beginning of these comments.

1281 * protected from the I/O flowing through other active queues.
1283 * In this comment we describe, firstly, the reasons why this fact
1284 * holds, and, secondly, the next function, which implements the main
1285 * steps needed to properly mark these queues so that they can then be
1286 * treated in a different way.
1288 * The above services or applications benefit mostly from a high
1289 * throughput: the quicker the requests of the activated queues are
1290 * cumulatively served, the sooner the target job of these queues gets
1291 * completed. As a consequence, weight-raising any of these queues,
1292 * which also implies idling the device for it, is almost always
1293 * counterproductive, unless there are other active queues to isolate
1294 * these new queues from. If there no other active queues, then
1295 * weight-raising these new queues just lowers throughput in most
1298 * On the other hand, a burst of queue creations may be caused also by
1299 * the start of an application that does not consist of a lot of
1300 * parallel I/O-bound threads. In fact, with a complex application,
1301 * several short processes may need to be executed to start-up the
1302 * application. In this respect, to start an application as quickly as
1303 * possible, the best thing to do is in any case to privilege the I/O
1304 * related to the application with respect to all other
1305 * I/O. Therefore, the best strategy to start as quickly as possible
1306 * an application that causes a burst of queue creations is to
1307 * weight-raise all the queues created during the burst. This is the
1308 * exact opposite of the best strategy for the other type of bursts.
1310 * In the end, to take the best action for each of the two cases, the
1311 * two types of bursts need to be distinguished. Fortunately, this
1312 * seems relatively easy, by looking at the sizes of the bursts. In
1313 * particular, we found a threshold such that only bursts with a
1314 * larger size than that threshold are apparently caused by
1315 * services or commands such as systemd or git grep. For brevity,
1316 * hereafter we call just 'large' these bursts. BFQ *does not*
1317 * weight-raise queues whose creation occurs in a large burst. In
1318 * addition, for each of these queues BFQ performs or does not perform
1319 * idling depending on which choice boosts the throughput more. The
1320 * exact choice depends on the device and request pattern at
1323 * Unfortunately, false positives may occur while an interactive task
1324 * is starting (e.g., an application is being started). The
1325 * consequence is that the queues associated with the task do not
1326 * enjoy weight raising as expected. Fortunately these false positives
1327 * are very rare. They typically occur if some service happens to
1328 * start doing I/O exactly when the interactive task starts.
1330 * Turning back to the next function, it is invoked only if there are
1331 * no active queues (apart from active queues that would belong to the
1332 * same, possible burst bfqq would belong to), and it implements all
1333 * the steps needed to detect the occurrence of a large burst and to
1334 * properly mark all the queues belonging to it (so that they can then
1335 * be treated in a different way). This goal is achieved by
1336 * maintaining a "burst list" that holds, temporarily, the queues that
1337 * belong to the burst in progress. The list is then used to mark
1338 * these queues as belonging to a large burst if the burst does become
1339 * large. The main steps are the following.
1341 * . when the very first queue is created, the queue is inserted into the
1342 * list (as it could be the first queue in a possible burst)
1344 * . if the current burst has not yet become large, and a queue Q that does
1345 * not yet belong to the burst is activated shortly after the last time
1346 * at which a new queue entered the burst list, then the function appends
1347 * Q to the burst list
1349 * . if, as a consequence of the previous step, the burst size reaches
1350 * the large-burst threshold, then
1352 * . all the queues in the burst list are marked as belonging to a
1355 * . the burst list is deleted; in fact, the burst list already served
1356 * its purpose (keeping temporarily track of the queues in a burst,
1357 * so as to be able to mark them as belonging to a large burst in the
1358 * previous sub-step), and now is not needed any more
1360 * . the device enters a large-burst mode
1362 * . if a queue Q that does not belong to the burst is created while
1363 * the device is in large-burst mode and shortly after the last time
1364 * at which a queue either entered the burst list or was marked as
1365 * belonging to the current large burst, then Q is immediately marked
1366 * as belonging to a large burst.
1368 * . if a queue Q that does not belong to the burst is created a while
1369 * later, i.e., not shortly after, than the last time at which a queue
1370 * either entered the burst list or was marked as belonging to the
1371 * current large burst, then the current burst is deemed as finished and:
1373 * . the large-burst mode is reset if set
1375 * . the burst list is emptied
1377 * . Q is inserted in the burst list, as Q may be the first queue
1378 * in a possible new burst (then the burst list contains just Q

1481 * idle to busy, updates the budget of bfqq. The function also tells
1482 * whether the in-service queue should be expired, by returning
1483 * true. The purpose of expiring the in-service queue is to give bfqq
1484 * the chance to possibly preempt the in-service queue, and the reason
1485 * for preempting the in-service queue is to achieve one of the two
1488 * 1. Guarantee to bfqq its reserved bandwidth even if bfqq has
1489 * expired because it has remained idle. In particular, bfqq may have
1490 * expired for one of the following two reasons:
1492 * - BFQQE_NO_MORE_REQUESTS bfqq did not enjoy any device idling
1493 * and did not make it to issue a new request before its last
1494 * request was served;
1496 * - BFQQE_TOO_IDLE bfqq did enjoy device idling, but did not issue
1497 * a new request before the expiration of the idling-time.
1499 * Even if bfqq has expired for one of the above reasons, the process
1500 * associated with the queue may be however issuing requests greedily,
1501 * and thus be sensitive to the bandwidth it receives (bfqq may have
1502 * remained idle for other reasons: CPU high load, bfqq not enjoying
1503 * idling, I/O throttling somewhere in the path from the process to
1504 * the I/O scheduler, ...). But if, after every expiration for one of
1505 * the above two reasons, bfqq has to wait for the service of at least
1506 * one full budget of another queue before being served again, then
1507 * bfqq is likely to get a much lower bandwidth or resource time than
1508 * its reserved ones. To address this issue, two countermeasures need
1511 * First, the budget and the timestamps of bfqq need to be updated in
1512 * a special way on bfqq reactivation: they need to be updated as if
1513 * bfqq did not remain idle and did not expire. In fact, if they are
1514 * computed as if bfqq expired and remained idle until reactivation,
1515 * then the process associated with bfqq is treated as if, instead of
1516 * being greedy, it stopped issuing requests when bfqq remained idle,
1517 * and restarts issuing requests only on this reactivation. In other
1518 * words, the scheduler does not help the process recover the "service
1519 * hole" between bfqq expiration and reactivation. As a consequence,
1520 * the process receives a lower bandwidth than its reserved one. In
1521 * contrast, to recover this hole, the budget must be updated as if
1522 * bfqq was not expired at all before this reactivation, i.e., it must
1523 * be set to the value of the remaining budget when bfqq was
1524 * expired. Along the same line, timestamps need to be assigned the
1525 * value they had the last time bfqq was selected for service, i.e.,
1526 * before last expiration. Thus timestamps need to be back-shifted
1527 * with respect to their normal computation (see [1] for more details
1528 * on this tricky aspect).
1530 * Secondly, to allow the process to recover the hole, the in-service
1531 * queue must be expired too, to give bfqq the chance to preempt it
1532 * immediately. In fact, if bfqq has to wait for a full budget of the
1533 * in-service queue to be completed, then it may become impossible to
1534 * let the process recover the hole, even if the back-shifted
1535 * timestamps of bfqq are lower than those of the in-service queue. If
1536 * this happens for most or all of the holes, then the process may not
1537 * receive its reserved bandwidth. In this respect, it is worth noting
1538 * that, being the service of outstanding requests unpreemptible, a
1539 * little fraction of the holes may however be unrecoverable, thereby
1540 * causing a little loss of bandwidth.
1542 * The last important point is detecting whether bfqq does need this
1543 * bandwidth recovery. In this respect, the next function deems the
1544 * process associated with bfqq greedy, and thus allows it to recover
1545 * the hole, if: 1) the process is waiting for the arrival of a new
1546 * request (which implies that bfqq expired for one of the above two
1547 * reasons), and 2) such a request has arrived soon. The first
1548 * condition is controlled through the flag non_blocking_wait_rq,
1549 * while the second through the flag arrived_in_time. If both
1550 * conditions hold, then the function computes the budget in the
1551 * above-described special way, and signals that the in-service queue
1552 * should be expired. Timestamp back-shifting is done later in
1553 * __bfq_activate_entity.
1555 * 2. Reduce latency. Even if timestamps are not backshifted to let
1556 * the process associated with bfqq recover a service hole, bfqq may
1557 * however happen to have, after being (re)activated, a lower finish
1558 * timestamp than the in-service queue. That is, the next budget of
1559 * bfqq may have to be completed before the one of the in-service
1560 * queue. If this is the case, then preempting the in-service queue
1561 * allows this goal to be achieved, apart from the unpreemptible,
1562 * outstanding requests mentioned above.
1564 * Unfortunately, regardless of which of the above two goals one wants
1565 * to achieve, service trees need first to be updated to know whether
1566 * the in-service queue must be preempted. To have service trees
1567 * correctly updated, the in-service queue must be expired and
1568 * rescheduled, and bfqq must be scheduled too. This is one of the
1569 * most costly operations (in future versions, the scheduling
1570 * mechanism may be re-designed in such a way to make it possible to
1571 * know whether preemption is needed without needing to update service
1572 * trees). In addition, queue preemptions almost always cause random
1573 * I/O, which may in turn cause loss of throughput. Finally, there may
1574 * even be no in-service queue when the next function is invoked (so,
1575 * no queue to compare timestamps with). Because of these facts, the
1576 * next function adopts the following simple scheme to avoid costly
1577 * operations, too frequent preemptions and too many dependencies on
1578 * the state of the scheduler: it requests the expiration of the
1579 * in-service queue (unconditionally) only for queues that need to
1580 * recover a hole. Then it delegates to other parts of the code the
1581 * responsibility of handling the above case 2.

1932 * Expire in-service queue if preemption may be needed for
1933 * guarantees or throughput. As for guarantees, we care
1934 * explicitly about two cases. The first is that bfqq has to
1935 * recover a service hole, as explained in the comments on
1936 * bfq_bfqq_update_budg_for_activation(), i.e., that
1937 * bfqq_wants_to_preempt is true. However, if bfqq does not
1938 * carry time-critical I/O, then bfqq's bandwidth is less
1939 * important than that of queues that carry time-critical I/O.
1940 * So, as a further constraint, we consider this case only if
1941 * bfqq is at least as weight-raised, i.e., at least as time
1942 * critical, as the in-service queue.
1944 * The second case is that bfqq is in a higher priority class,
1945 * or has a higher weight than the in-service queue. If this
1946 * condition does not hold, we don't care because, even if
1947 * bfqq does not start to be served immediately, the resulting
1948 * delay for bfqq's I/O is however lower or much lower than
1949 * the ideal completion time to be guaranteed to bfqq's I/O.
1951 * In both cases, preemption is needed only if, according to
1952 * the timestamps of both bfqq and of the in-service queue,
1953 * bfqq actually is the next queue to serve. So, to reduce
1954 * useless preemptions, the return value of
1955 * next_queue_may_preempt() is considered in the next compound
1956 * condition too. Yet next_queue_may_preempt() just checks a
1957 * simple, necessary condition for bfqq to be the next queue
1958 * to serve. In fact, to evaluate a sufficient condition, the
1959 * timestamps of the in-service queue would need to be
1960 * updated, and this operation is quite costly (see the
1961 * comments on bfq_bfqq_update_budg_for_activation()).
1963 * As for throughput, we ask bfq_better_to_idle() whether we
1964 * still need to plug I/O dispatching. If bfq_better_to_idle()
1965 * says no, then plugging is not needed any longer, either to
1966 * boost throughput or to perserve service guarantees. Then
1967 * the best option is to stop plugging I/O, as not doing so
1968 * would certainly lower throughput. We may end up in this
1969 * case if: (1) upon a dispatch attempt, we detected that it
1970 * was better to plug I/O dispatch, and to wait for a new
1971 * request to arrive for the currently in-service queue, but
1972 * (2) this switch of bfqq to busy changes the scenario.

2000 * of bfqq, and therefore, if one request was injected when
2001 * bfqq remains empty, this injected request might delay the
2002 * service of the next I/O request for bfqq significantly. In
2003 * case bfqq can actually tolerate some injection, then the
2004 * adaptive update will however raise the limit soon. This
2005 * lucky circumstance holds exactly because bfqq has a short
2006 * think time, and thus, after remaining empty, is likely to
2007 * get new I/O enqueued---and then completed---before being
2008 * expired. This is the very pattern that gives the
2009 * limit-update algorithm the chance to measure the effect of
2010 * injection on request service times, and then to update the
2011 * limit accordingly.
2013 * However, in the following special case, the inject limit is
2014 * left to 1 even if the think time is short: bfqq's I/O is
2015 * synchronized with that of some other queue, i.e., bfqq may
2016 * receive new I/O only after the I/O of the other queue is
2017 * completed. Keeping the inject limit to 1 allows the
2018 * blocking I/O to be served while bfqq is in service. And
2019 * this is very convenient both for bfqq and for overall
2020 * throughput, as explained in detail in the comments in
2021 * bfq_update_has_short_ttime().
2023 * On the opposite end, if bfqq has a long think time, then
2024 * start directly by 1, because:
2025 * a) on the bright side, keeping at most one request in
2026 * service in the drive is unlikely to cause any harm to the
2027 * latency of bfqq's requests, as the service time of a single
2028 * request is likely to be lower than the think time of bfqq;
2029 * b) on the downside, after becoming empty, bfqq is likely to
2030 * expire before getting its next request. With this request
2031 * arrival pattern, it is very hard to sample total service
2032 * times and update the inject limit accordingly (see comments
2033 * on bfq_update_inject_limit()). So the limit is likely to be
2034 * never, or at least seldom, updated. As a consequence, by
2035 * setting the limit to 1, we avoid that no injection ever
2036 * occurs with bfqq. On the downside, this proactive step
2037 * further reduces chances to actually compute the baseline
2038 * total service time. Thus it reduces chances to execute the
2039 * limit-update algorithm and possibly raise the limit to more

2085 * we assume, for simplicity, that bfqq may have at most one waker
2088 * A remarkable throughput boost can be reached by unconditionally
2089 * injecting the I/O of the waker queue, every time a new
2090 * bfq_dispatch_request happens to be invoked while I/O is being

2096 * in bfq_select_queue().
2098 * Turning back to the detection of a waker queue, a queue Q is deemed as a
2099 * waker queue for bfqq if, for three consecutive times, bfqq happens to become
2100 * non empty right after a request of Q has been completed within given
2101 * timeout. In this respect, even if bfqq is empty, we do not check for a waker
2102 * if it still has some in-flight I/O. In fact, in this case bfqq is actually
2103 * still being served by the drive, and may receive new I/O on the completion
2104 * of some of the in-flight requests. In particular, on the first time, Q is
2105 * tentatively set as a candidate waker queue, while on the third consecutive
2106 * time that Q is detected, the field waker_bfqq is set to Q, to confirm that Q
2107 * is a waker queue for bfqq. These detection steps are performed only if bfqq
2108 * has a long think time, so as to make it more likely that bfqq's I/O is
2109 * actually being blocked by a synchronization. This last filter, plus the
2110 * above three-times requirement and time limit for detection, make false
2111 * positives less likely.
2115 * The sooner a waker queue is detected, the sooner throughput can be
2116 * boosted by injecting I/O from the waker queue. Fortunately,
2117 * detection is likely to be actually fast, for the following
2118 * reasons. While blocked by synchronization, bfqq has a long think
2119 * time. This implies that bfqq's inject limit is at least equal to 1
2120 * (see the comments in bfq_update_inject_limit()). So, thanks to
2121 * injection, the waker queue is likely to be served during the very
2122 * first I/O-plugging time interval for bfqq. This triggers the first
2123 * step of the detection mechanism. Thanks again to injection, the
2124 * candidate waker queue is then likely to be confirmed no later than
2125 * during the next I/O-plugging interval for bfqq.

3675 * There is a case where idling does not have to be performed for
3676 * throughput concerns, but to preserve the throughput share of
3677 * the process associated with bfqq.
3679 * To introduce this case, we can note that allowing the drive
3680 * to enqueue more than one request at a time, and hence
3681 * delegating de facto final scheduling decisions to the
3682 * drive's internal scheduler, entails loss of control on the
3683 * actual request service order. In particular, the critical
3684 * situation is when requests from different processes happen
3685 * to be present, at the same time, in the internal queue(s)
3686 * of the drive. In such a situation, the drive, by deciding
3687 * the service order of the internally-queued requests, does
3688 * determine also the actual throughput distribution among
3689 * these processes. But the drive typically has no notion or
3690 * concern about per-process throughput distribution, and
3691 * makes its decisions only on a per-request basis. Therefore,
3692 * the service distribution enforced by the drive's internal
3693 * scheduler is likely to coincide with the desired throughput
3694 * distribution only in a completely symmetric, or favorably
3695 * skewed scenario where:
3696 * (i-a) each of these processes must get the same throughput as
3698 * (i-b) in case (i-a) does not hold, it holds that the process
3699 * associated with bfqq must receive a lower or equal
3700 * throughput than any of the other processes;
3701 * (ii) the I/O of each process has the same properties, in
3702 * terms of locality (sequential or random), direction
3703 * (reads or writes), request sizes, greediness
3704 * (from I/O-bound to sporadic), and so on;
3706 * In fact, in such a scenario, the drive tends to treat the requests
3707 * of each process in about the same way as the requests of the
3708 * others, and thus to provide each of these processes with about the
3709 * same throughput. This is exactly the desired throughput
3710 * distribution if (i-a) holds, or, if (i-b) holds instead, this is an
3711 * even more convenient distribution for (the process associated with)
3714 * In contrast, in any asymmetric or unfavorable scenario, device
3715 * idling (I/O-dispatch plugging) is certainly needed to guarantee
3716 * that bfqq receives its assigned fraction of the device throughput
3717 * (see [1] for details).
3719 * The problem is that idling may significantly reduce throughput with
3720 * certain combinations of types of I/O and devices. An important
3721 * example is sync random I/O on flash storage with command
3722 * queueing. So, unless bfqq falls in cases where idling also boosts
3723 * throughput, it is important to check conditions (i-a), i(-b) and
3724 * (ii) accurately, so as to avoid idling when not strictly needed for
3725 * service guarantees.
3727 * Unfortunately, it is extremely difficult to thoroughly check
3728 * condition (ii). And, in case there are active groups, it becomes
3729 * very difficult to check conditions (i-a) and (i-b) too. In fact,
3730 * if there are active groups, then, for conditions (i-a) or (i-b) to
3731 * become false 'indirectly', it is enough that an active group
3732 * contains more active processes or sub-groups than some other active
3733 * group. More precisely, for conditions (i-a) or (i-b) to become
3734 * false because of such a group, it is not even necessary that the
3735 * group is (still) active: it is sufficient that, even if the group
3736 * has become inactive, some of its descendant processes still have
3737 * some request already dispatched but still waiting for
3738 * completion. In fact, requests have still to be guaranteed their
3739 * share of the throughput even after being dispatched. In this
3740 * respect, it is easy to show that, if a group frequently becomes
3741 * inactive while still having in-flight requests, and if, when this
3742 * happens, the group is not considered in the calculation of whether
3743 * the scenario is asymmetric, then the group may fail to be
3744 * guaranteed its fair share of the throughput (basically because
3745 * idling may not be performed for the descendant processes of the
3746 * group, but it had to be). We address this issue with the following
3747 * bi-modal behavior, implemented in the function
3748 * bfq_asymmetric_scenario().
3750 * If there are groups with requests waiting for completion
3751 * (as commented above, some of these groups may even be
3752 * already inactive), then the scenario is tagged as
3753 * asymmetric, conservatively, without checking any of the
3754 * conditions (i-a), (i-b) or (ii). So the device is idled for bfqq.
3755 * This behavior matches also the fact that groups are created
3756 * exactly if controlling I/O is a primary concern (to
3757 * preserve bandwidth and latency guarantees).
3759 * On the opposite end, if there are no groups with requests waiting
3760 * for completion, then only conditions (i-a) and (i-b) are actually
3761 * controlled, i.e., provided that conditions (i-a) or (i-b) holds,
3762 * idling is not performed, regardless of whether condition (ii)
3763 * holds. In other words, only if conditions (i-a) and (i-b) do not
3764 * hold, then idling is allowed, and the device tends to be prevented
3765 * from queueing many requests, possibly of several processes. Since
3766 * there are no groups with requests waiting for completion, then, to
3767 * control conditions (i-a) and (i-b) it is enough to check just
3768 * whether all the queues with requests waiting for completion also
3769 * have the same weight.
3771 * Not checking condition (ii) evidently exposes bfqq to the
3772 * risk of getting less throughput than its fair share.
3773 * However, for queues with the same weight, a further
3774 * mechanism, preemption, mitigates or even eliminates this
3775 * problem. And it does so without consequences on overall
3776 * throughput. This mechanism and its benefits are explained
3777 * in the next three paragraphs.
3779 * Even if a queue, say Q, is expired when it remains idle, Q
3780 * can still preempt the new in-service queue if the next
3781 * request of Q arrives soon (see the comments on
3782 * bfq_bfqq_update_budg_for_activation). If all queues and
3783 * groups have the same weight, this form of preemption,
3784 * combined with the hole-recovery heuristic described in the
3785 * comments on function bfq_bfqq_update_budg_for_activation,
3786 * are enough to preserve a correct bandwidth distribution in
3787 * the mid term, even without idling. In fact, even if not
3788 * idling allows the internal queues of the device to contain
3789 * many requests, and thus to reorder requests, we can rather
3790 * safely assume that the internal scheduler still preserves a
3791 * minimum of mid-term fairness.
3793 * More precisely, this preemption-based, idleless approach
3794 * provides fairness in terms of IOPS, and not sectors per
3795 * second. This can be seen with a simple example. Suppose
3796 * that there are two queues with the same weight, but that
3797 * the first queue receives requests of 8 sectors, while the
3798 * second queue receives requests of 1024 sectors. In
3799 * addition, suppose that each of the two queues contains at
3800 * most one request at a time, which implies that each queue
3801 * always remains idle after it is served. Finally, after
3802 * remaining idle, each queue receives very quickly a new
3803 * request. It follows that the two queues are served
3804 * alternatively, preempting each other if needed. This
3805 * implies that, although both queues have the same weight,
3806 * the queue with large requests receives a service that is
3807 * 1024/8 times as high as the service received by the other
3810 * The motivation for using preemption instead of idling (for
3811 * queues with the same weight) is that, by not idling,
3812 * service guarantees are preserved (completely or at least in
3813 * part) without minimally sacrificing throughput. And, if
3814 * there is no active group, then the primary expectation for
3815 * this device is probably a high throughput.
3817 * We are now left only with explaining the two sub-conditions in the
3818 * additional compound condition that is checked below for deciding
3819 * whether the scenario is asymmetric. To explain the first
3820 * sub-condition, we need to add that the function
3821 * bfq_asymmetric_scenario checks the weights of only
3822 * non-weight-raised queues, for efficiency reasons (see comments on
3823 * bfq_weights_tree_add()). Then the fact that bfqq is weight-raised
3824 * is checked explicitly here. More precisely, the compound condition
3825 * below takes into account also the fact that, even if bfqq is being
3826 * weight-raised, the scenario is still symmetric if all queues with
3827 * requests waiting for completion happen to be
3828 * weight-raised. Actually, we should be even more precise here, and
3829 * differentiate between interactive weight raising and soft real-time
3832 * The second sub-condition checked in the compound condition is
3833 * whether there is a fair amount of already in-flight I/O not
3834 * belonging to bfqq. If so, I/O dispatching is to be plugged, for the
3835 * following reason. The drive may decide to serve in-flight
3836 * non-bfqq's I/O requests before bfqq's ones, thereby delaying the
3837 * arrival of new I/O requests for bfqq (recall that bfqq is sync). If
3838 * I/O-dispatching is not plugged, then, while bfqq remains empty, a
3839 * basically uncontrolled amount of I/O from other queues may be
3840 * dispatched too, possibly causing the service of bfqq's I/O to be
3841 * delayed even longer in the drive. This problem gets more and more
3842 * serious as the speed and the queue depth of the drive grow,
3843 * because, as these two quantities grow, the probability to find no
3844 * queue busy but many requests in flight grows too. By contrast,
3845 * plugging I/O dispatching minimizes the delay induced by already
3846 * in-flight I/O, and enables bfqq to recover the bandwidth it may
3847 * lose because of this delay.
3849 * As a side note, it is worth considering that the above
3850 * device-idling countermeasures may however fail in the following
3851 * unlucky scenario: if I/O-dispatch plugging is (correctly) disabled
3852 * in a time period during which all symmetry sub-conditions hold, and
3853 * therefore the device is allowed to enqueue many requests, but at
3854 * some later point in time some sub-condition stops to hold, then it
3855 * may become impossible to make requests be served in the desired
3856 * order until all the requests already queued in the device have been
3857 * served. The last sub-condition commented above somewhat mitigates
3858 * this problem for weight-raised queues.
3860 * However, as an additional mitigation for this problem, we preserve
3861 * plugging for a special symmetric case that may suddenly turn into
3862 * asymmetric: the case where only bfqq is busy. In this case, not
3863 * expiring bfqq does not cause any harm to any other queues in terms
3864 * of service guarantees. In contrast, it avoids the following unlucky
3865 * sequence of events: (1) bfqq is expired, (2) a new queue with a
3866 * lower weight than bfqq becomes busy (or more queues), (3) the new
3867 * queue is served until a new request arrives for bfqq, (4) when bfqq
3868 * is finally served, there are so many requests of the new queue in
3869 * the drive that the pending requests for bfqq take a lot of time to
3870 * be served. In particular, event (2) may case even already
3871 * dispatched requests of bfqq to be delayed, inside the drive. So, to
3872 * avoid this series of events, the scenario is preventively declared
3873 * as asymmetric also if bfqq is the only busy queues

4133 * the real rate at which the I/O requests of each bfq_queue are
4134 * served. In fact, for an I/O scheduler like BFQ, serving a
4135 * bfq_queue means just dispatching its requests during its service
4136 * slot (i.e., until the budget of the queue is exhausted, or the
4137 * queue remains idle, or, finally, a timeout fires). But, during the
4138 * service slot of a bfq_queue, around 100 ms at most, the device may
4139 * be even still processing requests of bfq_queues served in previous
4140 * service slots. On the opposite end, the requests of the in-service
4141 * bfq_queue may be completed after the service slot of the queue
4144 * Anyway, unless more sophisticated solutions are used
4145 * (where possible), the sum of the sizes of the requests dispatched
4146 * during the service slot of a bfq_queue is probably the only
4147 * approximation available for the service received by the bfq_queue
4148 * during its service slot. And this sum is the quantity used in this
4149 * function to evaluate the I/O speed of a process.

4209 * requirements. First, the application must not require an average
4210 * bandwidth higher than the approximate bandwidth required to playback or
4211 * record a compressed high-definition video.
4212 * The next function is invoked on the completion of the last request of a
4213 * batch, to compute the next-start time instant, soft_rt_next_start, such
4214 * that, if the next request of the application does not arrive before
4215 * soft_rt_next_start, then the above requirement on the bandwidth is met.
4217 * The second requirement is that the request pattern of the application is
4218 * isochronous, i.e., that, after issuing a request or a batch of requests,
4219 * the application stops issuing new requests until all its pending requests
4220 * have been completed. After that, the application may issue a new batch,
4222 * For this reason the next function is invoked to compute
4223 * soft_rt_next_start only for applications that meet this requirement,
4224 * whereas soft_rt_next_start is set to infinity for applications that do
4227 * Unfortunately, even a greedy (i.e., I/O-bound) application may
4228 * happen to meet, occasionally or systematically, both the above
4229 * bandwidth and isochrony requirements. This may happen at least in
4230 * the following circumstances. First, if the CPU load is high. The
4231 * application may stop issuing requests while the CPUs are busy
4232 * serving other processes, then restart, then stop again for a while,
4233 * and so on. The other circumstances are related to the storage
4234 * device: the storage device is highly loaded or reaches a low-enough
4235 * throughput with the I/O of the application (e.g., because the I/O
4236 * is random and/or the device is slow). In all these cases, the
4237 * I/O of the application may be simply slowed down enough to meet
4238 * the bandwidth and isochrony requirements. To reduce the probability
4239 * that greedy applications are deemed as soft real-time in these
4240 * corner cases, a further rule is used in the computation of
4241 * soft_rt_next_start: the return value of this function is forced to
4242 * be higher than the maximum between the following two quantities.
4244 * (a) Current time plus: (1) the maximum time for which the arrival
4245 * of a request is waited for when a sync queue becomes idle,
4246 * namely bfqd->bfq_slice_idle, and (2) a few extra jiffies. We
4247 * postpone for a moment the reason for adding a few extra
4248 * jiffies; we get back to it after next item (b). Lower-bounding
4249 * the return value of this function with the current time plus
4250 * bfqd->bfq_slice_idle tends to filter out greedy applications,
4251 * because the latter issue their next request as soon as possible
4252 * after the last one has been completed. In contrast, a soft
4253 * real-time application spends some time processing data, after a
4254 * batch of its requests has been completed.
4256 * (b) Current value of bfqq->soft_rt_next_start. As pointed out
4257 * above, greedy applications may happen to meet both the
4258 * bandwidth and isochrony requirements under heavy CPU or
4259 * storage-device load. In more detail, in these scenarios, these
4260 * applications happen, only for limited time periods, to do I/O
4261 * slowly enough to meet all the requirements described so far,
4262 * including the filtering in above item (a). These slow-speed
4263 * time intervals are usually interspersed between other time
4264 * intervals during which these applications do I/O at a very high
4265 * speed. Fortunately, exactly because of the high speed of the
4266 * I/O in the high-speed intervals, the values returned by this
4267 * function happen to be so high, near the end of any such
4268 * high-speed interval, to be likely to fall *after* the end of
4269 * the low-speed time interval that follows. These high values are
4270 * stored in bfqq->soft_rt_next_start after each invocation of
4271 * this function. As a consequence, if the last value of
4272 * bfqq->soft_rt_next_start is constantly used to lower-bound the
4273 * next value that this function may return, then, from the very
4274 * beginning of a low-speed interval, bfqq->soft_rt_next_start is
4275 * likely to be constantly kept so high that any I/O request
4276 * issued during the low-speed interval is considered as arriving
4277 * to soon for the application to be deemed as soft
4278 * real-time. Then, in the high-speed interval that follows, the
4279 * application will not be deemed as soft real-time, just because
4280 * it will do I/O at a high speed. And so on.
4282 * Getting back to the filtering in item (a), in the following two
4283 * cases this filtering might be easily passed by a greedy
4284 * application, if the reference quantity was just
4285 * bfqd->bfq_slice_idle:
4286 * 1) HZ is so low that the duration of a jiffy is comparable to or
4287 * higher than bfqd->bfq_slice_idle. This happens, e.g., on slow
4288 * devices with HZ=100. The time granularity may be so coarse
4289 * that the approximation, in jiffies, of bfqd->bfq_slice_idle
4290 * is rather lower than the exact value.
4291 * 2) jiffies, instead of increasing at a constant rate, may stop increasing
4292 * for a while, then suddenly 'jump' by several units to recover the lost
4293 * increments. This seems to happen, e.g., inside virtual machines.
4294 * To address this issue, in the filtering in (a) we do not use as a
4295 * reference time interval just bfqd->bfq_slice_idle, but
4296 * bfqd->bfq_slice_idle plus a few jiffies. In particular, we add the
4297 * minimum number of jiffies for which the filter seems to be quite
4298 * precise also in embedded systems and KVM/QEMU virtual machines.

4319 * in service instead of the service it has received (see
4320 * bfq_bfqq_charge_time for details on how this goal is achieved). As

4327 * strategy guarantees time fairness among slow processes. In

4540 * immediately (or at least soon) when they need one. Thus
4541 * they have a higher probability to actually get a fraction
4542 * of the device throughput proportional to their high
4543 * weight. This is especially true with NCQ-capable drives,

4910 * The first if checks whether the process associated

4912 * injects such I/O unconditionally. Injecting async
4913 * I/O from the same process can cause no harm to the
4914 * process. On the contrary, it can only increase
4915 * bandwidth and reduce latency for the process.
4917 * The second if checks whether there happens to be a
4918 * non-empty waker queue for bfqq, i.e., a queue whose
4919 * I/O needs to be completed for bfqq to receive new
4920 * I/O. This happens, e.g., if bfqq is associated with
4921 * a process that does some sync. A sync generates
4922 * extra blocking I/O, which must be completed before
4923 * the process associated with bfqq can go on with its
4924 * I/O. If the I/O of the waker queue is not served,
4925 * then bfqq remains empty, and no I/O is dispatched,
4926 * until the idle timeout fires for bfqq. This is
4927 * likely to result in lower bandwidth and higher
4928 * latencies for bfqq, and in a severe loss of total
4929 * throughput. The best action to take is therefore to
4930 * serve the waker queue as soon as possible. So do it
4931 * (without relying on the third alternative below for
4932 * eventually serving waker_bfqq's I/O; see the last
4933 * paragraph for further details). This systematic
4934 * injection of I/O from the waker queue does not
4935 * cause any delay to bfqq's I/O. On the contrary,
4936 * next bfqq's I/O is brought forward dramatically,
4937 * for it is not blocked for milliseconds.
4939 * The third if checks whether there is a queue woken
4940 * by bfqq, and currently with pending I/O. Such a
4941 * woken queue does not steal bandwidth from bfqq,
4942 * because it remains soon without I/O if bfqq is not
4943 * served. So there is virtually no risk of loss of
4944 * bandwidth for bfqq if this woken queue has I/O
4945 * dispatched while bfqq is waiting for new I/O.
4947 * The fourth if checks whether bfqq is a queue for
4948 * which it is better to avoid injection. It is so if
4949 * bfqq delivers more throughput when served without
4950 * any further I/O from other queues in the middle, or
4951 * if the service times of bfqq's I/O requests both
4952 * count more than overall throughput, and may be
4953 * easily increased by injection (this happens if bfqq
4954 * has a short think time). If none of these
4955 * conditions holds, then a candidate queue for
4956 * injection is looked for through
4957 * bfq_choose_bfqq_for_injection(). Note that the
4958 * latter may return NULL (for example if the inject
4959 * limit for bfqq is currently 0).
4961 * NOTE: motivation for the second alternative
4963 * Thanks to the way the inject limit is updated in
4964 * bfq_update_has_short_ttime(), it is rather likely
4965 * that, if I/O is being plugged for bfqq and the
4966 * waker queue has pending I/O requests that are
4967 * blocking bfqq's I/O, then the fourth alternative
4968 * above lets the waker queue get served before the
4969 * I/O-plugging timeout fires. So one may deem the
4970 * second alternative superfluous. It is not, because
4971 * the fourth alternative may be way less effective in
4972 * case of a synchronization. For two main
4973 * reasons. First, throughput may be low because the
4974 * inject limit may be too low to guarantee the same
4975 * amount of injected I/O, from the waker queue or
4976 * other queues, that the second alternative
4977 * guarantees (the second alternative unconditionally
4978 * injects a pending I/O request of the waker queue
4979 * for each bfq_dispatch_request()). Second, with the
4980 * fourth alternative, the duration of the plugging,
4981 * i.e., the time before bfqq finally receives new I/O,
4982 * may not be minimized, because the waker queue may
4983 * happen to be served only after other queues.

5706 * counterproductive action with these workloads is plugging I/O
5707 * dispatch when one of the bfq_queues associated with these flows
5708 * remains temporarily empty.
5710 * To avoid this plugging, BFQ has been using a burst-handling
5711 * mechanism for years now. This mechanism has proven effective for
5712 * throughput, and not detrimental for service guarantees. The
5713 * following function pushes this mechanism a little bit further,
5714 * basing on the following two facts.
5716 * First, all the I/O flows of a the same application or task
5717 * contribute to the execution/completion of that common application
5718 * or task. So the performance figures that matter are total
5719 * throughput of the flows and task-wide I/O latency. In particular,
5720 * these flows do not need to be protected from each other, in terms
5721 * of individual bandwidth or latency.
5723 * Second, the above fact holds regardless of the number of flows.
5725 * Putting these two facts together, this commits merges stably the
5726 * bfq_queues associated with these I/O flows, i.e., with the
5727 * processes that generate these IO/ flows, regardless of how many the
5728 * involved processes are.
5730 * To decide whether a set of bfq_queues is actually associated with
5731 * the I/O flows of a common application or task, and to merge these
5732 * queues stably, this function operates as follows: given a bfq_queue,
5733 * say Q2, currently being created, and the last bfq_queue, say Q1,
5734 * created before Q2, Q2 is merged stably with Q1 if
5735 * - very little time has elapsed since when Q1 was created
5736 * - Q2 has the same ioprio as Q1
5737 * - Q2 belongs to the same group as Q1
5739 * Merging bfq_queues also reduces scheduling overhead. A fio test
5740 * with ten random readers on /dev/nullb shows a throughput boost of
5741 * 40%, with a quadcore. Since BFQ's execution time amounts to ~50% of
5742 * the total per-request processing time, the above throughput boost
5743 * implies that BFQ's overhead is reduced by more than 50%.
5745 * This new mechanism most certainly obsoletes the current
5746 * burst-handling heuristics. We keep those heuristics for the moment.

5982 * is 0 or 1 if the think time is deemed, respectively, as
5983 * short or long (details in the comments in
5984 * bfq_update_inject_limit()). Accordingly, the next
5985 * instructions reset the inject limit if the think-time state
5986 * has changed and the above base value is still to be
5989 * However, the reset is performed only if more than 100 ms
5990 * have elapsed since the last update of the inject limit, or
5991 * (inclusive) if the change is from short to long think
5992 * time. The reason for this waiting is as follows.
5994 * bfqq may have a long think time because of a
5995 * synchronization with some other queue, i.e., because the
5996 * I/O of some other queue may need to be completed for bfqq
5997 * to receive new I/O. Details in the comments on the choice
5998 * of the queue for injection in bfq_select_queue().
6000 * As stressed in those comments, if such a synchronization is
6001 * actually in place, then, without injection on bfqq, the
6002 * blocking I/O cannot happen to served while bfqq is in
6003 * service. As a consequence, if bfqq is granted
6004 * I/O-dispatch-plugging, then bfqq remains empty, and no I/O
6005 * is dispatched, until the idle timeout fires. This is likely
6006 * to result in lower bandwidth and higher latencies for bfqq,
6007 * and in a severe loss of total throughput.
6009 * On the opposite end, a non-zero inject limit may allow the
6010 * I/O that blocks bfqq to be executed soon, and therefore
6011 * bfqq to receive new I/O soon.
6013 * But, if the blocking gets actually eliminated, then the
6014 * next think-time sample for bfqq may be very low. This in
6015 * turn may cause bfqq's think time to be deemed
6016 * short. Without the 100 ms barrier, this new state change
6017 * would cause the body of the next if to be executed
6018 * immediately. But this would set to 0 the inject
6019 * limit. Without injection, the blocking I/O would cause the
6020 * think time of bfqq to become long again, and therefore the
6021 * inject limit to be raised again, and so on. The only effect
6022 * of such a steady oscillation between the two think-time
6023 * states would be to prevent effective injection on bfqq.
6025 * In contrast, if the inject limit is not reset during such a
6026 * long time interval as 100 ms, then the number of short
6027 * think time samples can grow significantly before the reset
6028 * is performed. As a consequence, the think time state can
6029 * become stable before the reset. Therefore there will be no
6030 * state change when the 100 ms elapse, and no reset of the
6031 * inject limit. The inject limit remains steadily equal to 1
6032 * both during and after the 100 ms. So injection can be
6033 * performed at all times, and throughput gets boosted.
6035 * An inject limit equal to 1 is however in conflict, in
6036 * general, with the fact that the think time of bfqq is
6037 * short, because injection may be likely to delay bfqq's I/O
6038 * (as explained in the comments in
6039 * bfq_update_inject_limit()). But this does not happen in
6040 * this special case, because bfqq's low think time is due to
6041 * an effective handling of a synchronization, through
6042 * injection. In this special case, bfqq's I/O does not get
6043 * delayed by injection; on the contrary, bfqq's I/O is
6044 * brought forward, because it is not blocked for
6047 * In addition, serving the blocking I/O much sooner, and much
6048 * more frequently than once per I/O-plugging timeout, makes
6049 * it much quicker to detect a waker queue (the concept of
6050 * waker queue is defined in the comments in
6051 * bfq_add_request()). This makes it possible to start sooner
6052 * to boost throughput more effectively, by injecting the I/O
6053 * of the waker queue unconditionally on every
6054 * bfq_dispatch_request().
6056 * One last, important benefit of not resetting the inject
6057 * limit before 100 ms is that, during this time interval, the
6058 * base value for the total service time is likely to get
6059 * finally computed for bfqq, freeing the inject limit from

6481 * results in bfqq becoming often empty while in service. In this

6499 * both boost throughput and not break bfqq's bandwidth and latency
6500 * guarantees. In this respect, the mechanism maintains a per-queue
6501 * inject limit, computed as below. While bfqq is empty, the injection
6502 * mechanism dispatches extra I/O requests only until the total number
6503 * of I/O requests in flight---i.e., already dispatched but not yet
6504 * completed---remains lower than this limit.
6506 * A first definition comes in handy to introduce the algorithm by
6507 * which the inject limit is computed. We define as first request for
6508 * bfqq, an I/O request for bfqq that arrives while bfqq is in
6509 * service, and causes bfqq to switch from empty to non-empty. The
6510 * algorithm updates the limit as a function of the effect of
6511 * injection on the service times of only the first requests of
6512 * bfqq. The reason for this restriction is that these are the
6513 * requests whose service time is affected most, because they are the
6514 * first to arrive after injection possibly occurred.
6516 * To evaluate the effect of injection, the algorithm measures the
6517 * "total service time" of first requests. We define as total service
6518 * time of an I/O request, the time that elapses since when the
6519 * request is enqueued into bfqq, to when it is completed. This
6520 * quantity allows the whole effect of injection to be measured. It is
6521 * easy to see why. Suppose that some requests of other queues are
6522 * actually injected while bfqq is empty, and that a new request R
6523 * then arrives for bfqq. If the device does start to serve all or
6524 * part of the injected requests during the service hole, then,
6525 * because of this extra service, it may delay the next invocation of
6526 * the dispatch hook of BFQ. Then, even after R gets eventually
6527 * dispatched, the device may delay the actual service of R if it is
6528 * still busy serving the extra requests, or if it decides to serve,
6529 * before R, some extra request still present in its queues. As a
6530 * conclusion, the cumulative extra delay caused by injection can be
6531 * easily evaluated by just comparing the total service time of first
6532 * requests with and without injection.
6534 * The limit-update algorithm works as follows. On the arrival of a
6535 * first request of bfqq, the algorithm measures the total time of the
6536 * request only if one of the three cases below holds, and, for each
6537 * case, it updates the limit as described below:
6539 * (1) If there is no in-flight request. This gives a baseline for the
6540 * total service time of the requests of bfqq. If the baseline has
6541 * not been computed yet, then, after computing it, the limit is
6542 * set to 1, to start boosting throughput, and to prepare the
6543 * ground for the next case. If the baseline has already been
6544 * computed, then it is updated, in case it results to be lower
6545 * than the previous value.
6547 * (2) If the limit is higher than 0 and there are in-flight
6548 * requests. By comparing the total service time in this case with
6549 * the above baseline, it is possible to know at which extent the
6550 * current value of the limit is inflating the total service
6551 * time. If the inflation is below a certain threshold, then bfqq
6552 * is assumed to be suffering from no perceivable loss of its
6553 * service guarantees, and the limit is even tentatively
6554 * increased. If the inflation is above the threshold, then the
6555 * limit is decreased. Due to the lack of any hysteresis, this
6556 * logic makes the limit oscillate even in steady workload
6557 * conditions. Yet we opted for it, because it is fast in reaching
6558 * the best value for the limit, as a function of the current I/O
6559 * workload. To reduce oscillations, this step is disabled for a
6560 * short time interval after the limit happens to be decreased.
6562 * (3) Periodically, after resetting the limit, to make sure that the
6563 * limit eventually drops in case the workload changes. This is
6564 * needed because, after the limit has gone safely up for a
6565 * certain workload, it is impossible to guess whether the
6566 * baseline total service time may have changed, without measuring
6567 * it again without injection. A more effective version of this
6568 * step might be to just sample the baseline, by interrupting
6569 * injection only once, and then to reset/lower the limit only if
6570 * the total service time with the current limit does happen to be
6573 * More details on each step are provided in the comments on the
6574 * pieces of code that implement these steps: the branch handling the
6575 * transition from empty to non empty in bfq_add_request(), the branch
6576 * handling injection in bfq_select_queue(), and the function
6577 * bfq_choose_bfqq_for_injection(). These comments also explain some
6578 * exceptions, made by the injection mechanism in some special cases.
