The precision loss of reading IO start_time with jiffies_to_nsecs instead of using a high resolution timer degrades HST path prediction for BIO-based mpath on high load workloads. Below, I show the utilization percentage of a 10 disk multipath with asymmetrical disk access cost, while being exercised by a randwrite FIO benchmark with high submission queue depth (depth=64). It is possible to see that the HST path selection degrades heavily for high-iops in BIO-mpath, underutilizing the slower paths way beyond expected. This seems to be caused by the start_time truncation, which makes some IO to seem much slower than it actually is. In this scenario ST outperforms HST for bio-mpath, but not for mq-mpath, which already uses ktime_get_ns(). The third column shows utilization with this patch applied. It is easy to see that now HST prediction is much closer to the ideal distribution (calculated considering the real cost of each path). | | ST | HST (orig) | HST(ktime) | Best | | sdd | 0.17 | 0.20 | 0.17 | 0.18 | | sde | 0.17 | 0.20 | 0.17 | 0.18 | | sdf | 0.17 | 0.20 | 0.17 | 0.18 | | sdg | 0.06 | 0.00 | 0.06 | 0.04 | | sdh | 0.03 | 0.00 | 0.03 | 0.02 | | sdi | 0.03 | 0.00 | 0.03 | 0.02 | | sdj | 0.02 | 0.00 | 0.01 | 0.01 | | sdk | 0.02 | 0.00 | 0.01 | 0.01 | | sdl | 0.17 | 0.20 | 0.17 | 0.18 | | sdm | 0.17 | 0.20 | 0.17 | 0.18 | This issue was originally discussed [1] when we first merged HST, and this patch was left as a low hanging fruit to be solved later. Regarding the implementation, as suggested by Mike in that mail thread, in order to avoid the overhead of ktime_get_ns for other selectors, this patch adds a flag for the selector code to request the high-resolution timer. I tested this using the same benchmark used in the original HST submission. Full test and benchmark scripts are available here: https://people.collabora.com/~krisman/HST-BIO-MPATH/ [1] https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/85tv0am9de.fsf@collabora.com/T/ Signed-off-by: Gabriel Krisman Bertazi <krisman@collabora.com> [snitzer: cleaned up various implementation details] Signed-off-by: Mike Snitzer <snitzer@kernel.org>

* Historical Service Time
|
|
*
|
|
* Keeps a time-weighted exponential moving average of the historical
|
|
* service time. Estimates future service time based on the historical
|
|
* service time and the number of outstanding requests.
|
|
*
|
|
* Marks paths stale if they have not finished within hst *
|
|
* num_paths. If a path is stale and unused, we will send a single

|
* request to probe in case the path has improved. This situation
|
|
* generally arises if the path is so much worse than others that it
|
|
* will never have the best estimated service time, or if the entire
|
|
* multipath device is unused. If a path is stale and in use, limit the
|
|
* number of requests it can receive with the assumption that the path
|
|
* has become degraded.
|
|
*
|
|
* To avoid repeatedly calculating exponents for time weighting, times
|
|
* are split into HST_WEIGHT_COUNT buckets each (1 >> HST_BUCKET_SHIFT)
|
|
