block: introduce blk-iolatency io controller Current IO controllers for the block layer are less than ideal for our use case. The io.max controller is great at hard limiting, but it is not work conserving. This patch introduces io.latency. You provide a latency target for your group and we monitor the io in short windows to make sure we are not exceeding those latency targets. This makes use of the rq-qos infrastructure and works much like the wbt stuff. There are a few differences from wbt - It's bio based, so the latency covers the whole block layer in addition to the actual io. - We will throttle all IO types that comes in here if we need to. - We use the mean latency over the 100ms window. This is because writes can be particularly fast, which could give us a false sense of the impact of other workloads on our protected workload. - By default there's no throttling, we set the queue_depth to INT_MAX so that we can have as many outstanding bio's as we're allowed to. Only at throttle time do we pay attention to the actual queue depth. - We backcharge cgroups for root cg issued IO and induce artificial delays in order to deal with cases like metadata only or swap heavy workloads. In testing this has worked out relatively well. Protected workloads will throttle noisy workloads down to 1 io at time if they are doing normal IO on their own, or induce up to a 1 second delay per syscall if they are doing a lot of root issued IO (metadata/swap IO). Our testing has revolved mostly around our production web servers where we have hhvm (the web server application) in a protected group and everything else in another group. We see slightly higher requests per second (RPS) on the test tier vs the control tier, and much more stable RPS across all machines in the test tier vs the control tier. Another test we run is a slow memory allocator in the unprotected group. Before this would eventually push us into swap and cause the whole box to die and not recover at all. With these patches we see slight RPS drops (usually 10-15%) before the memory consumer is properly killed and things recover within seconds.

* throttle time do we pay attention to the actual queue depth.
*
* The hierarchy works like the cpu controller does, we track the latency at
* every configured node, and each configured node has it's own independent
* queue depth. This means that we only care about our latency targets at the
* peer level. Some group at the bottom of the hierarchy isn't going to affect
* a group at the end of some other path if we're only configred at leaf level.
*
* Consider the following
*
* root blkg
* / \
* fast (target=5ms) slow (target=10ms)
* / \ / \
* a b normal(15ms) unloved
*
* "a" and "b" have no target, but their combined io under "fast" cannot exceed
* an average latency of 5ms. If it does then we will throttle the "slow"
* group. In the case of "normal", if it exceeds its 15ms target, we will
* throttle "unloved", but nobody else.
*
* In this example "fast", "slow", and "normal" will be the only groups actually
* accounting their io latencies. We have to walk up the heirarchy to the root
* on every submit and complete so we can do the appropriate stat recording and
* adjust the queue depth of ourselves if needed.
*
* There are 2 ways we throttle IO.
*
* 1) Queue depth throttling. As we throttle down we will adjust the maximum
* number of IO's we're allowed to have in flight. This starts at (u64)-1 down
* to 1. If the group is only ever submitting IO for itself then this is the
* only way we throttle.
*
* 2) Induced delay throttling. This is for the case that a group is generating
* IO that has to be issued by the root cg to avoid priority inversion. So think
* REQ_META or REQ_SWAP. If we are already at qd == 1 and we're getting a lot
* of work done for us on behalf of the root cg and are being asked to scale
* down more then we induce a latency at userspace return. We accumulate the
* total amount of time we need to be punished by doing
*
* total_time += min_lat_nsec - actual_io_completion
*
* and then at throttle time will do
*
* throttle_time = min(total_time, NSEC_PER_SEC)
*
* This induced delay will throttle back the activity that is generating the
* root cg issued io's, wethere that's some metadata intensive operation or the
* group is using so much memory that it is pushing us into swap.

block: make iolatency avg_lat exponentially decay Currently, avg_lat is calculated by accumulating the mean of every window in a long running cumulative average. As time goes on, the metric becomes less and less useful due to the accumulated history. This patch reuses the same calculation done in load averages to make the avg_lat metric more lively. Unlike load averages, the avg only advances when a window elapses (due to an io). Idle periods extend the most recent window. Bucketing is used to limit the history of avg_lat by binding it to the window size. So, the window range for 1/exp (decay rate) is [1 min, 2.5 min) when windows elapse immediately. The current sample window size is exposed in the debug info to enable calculation of the window range.

blk-iolatency: use a percentile approache for ssd's We use an average latency approach for determining if we're missing our latency target. This works well for rotational storage where we have generally consistent latencies, but for ssd's and other low latency devices you have more of a spikey behavior, which means we often won't throttle misbehaving groups because a lot of IO completes at drastically faster times than our latency target. Instead keep track of how many IO's miss our target and how many IO's are done in our time window. If the p(90) latency is above our target then we know we need to throttle. With this change in place we are seeing the same throttling behavior with our testcase on ssd's as we see with rotational drives.

blk-iolatency: keep track of previous windows stats We apply a smoothing to the scale changes in order to keep sawtoothy behavior from occurring. However our window for checking if we've missed our target can sometimes be lower than the smoothing interval (500ms), especially on faster drives like ssd's. In order to deal with this keep track of the running tally of the previous intervals that we threw away because we had already done a scale event recently. This is needed for the ssd case as these low latency drives will have bursts of latency, and if it happens to be ok for the window that directly follows the opening of the scale window we could unthrottle when previous windows we were missing our target.

The current sample window size is exposed in the debug info to enable calculation of the window range.

block: introduce blk-iolatency io controller Current IO controllers for the block layer are less than ideal for our use case. The io.max controller is great at hard limiting, but it is not work conserving. This patch introduces io.latency. You provide a latency target for your group and we monitor the io in short windows to make sure we are not exceeding those latency targets. This makes use of the rq-qos infrastructure and works much like the wbt stuff. There are a few differences from wbt - It's bio based, so the latency covers the whole block layer in addition to the actual io. - We will throttle all IO types that comes in here if we need to. - We use the mean latency over the 100ms window. This is because writes can be particularly fast, which could give us a false sense of the impact of other workloads on our protected workload. - By default there's no throttling, we set the queue_depth to INT_MAX so that we can have as many outstanding bio's as we're allowed to. Only at throttle time do we pay attention to the actual queue depth. - We backcharge cgroups for root cg issued IO and induce artificial delays in order to deal with cases like metadata only or swap heavy workloads. In testing this has worked out relatively well. Protected workloads will throttle noisy workloads down to 1 io at time if they are doing normal IO on their own, or induce up to a 1 second delay per syscall if they are doing a lot of root issued IO (metadata/swap IO). Our testing has revolved mostly around our production web servers where we have hhvm (the web server application) in a protected group and everything else in another group. We see slightly higher requests per second (RPS) on the test tier vs the control tier, and much more stable RPS across all machines in the test tier vs the control tier. Another test we run is a slow memory allocator in the unprotected group. Before this would eventually push us into swap and cause the whole box to die and not recover at all. With these patches we see slight RPS drops (usually 10-15%) before the memory consumer is properly killed and things recover within seconds.

blk-iolatency: use a percentile approache for ssd's We use an average latency approach for determining if we're missing our latency target. This works well for rotational storage where we have generally consistent latencies, but for ssd's and other low latency devices you have more of a spikey behavior, which means we often won't throttle misbehaving groups because a lot of IO completes at drastically faster times than our latency target. Instead keep track of how many IO's miss our target and how many IO's are done in our time window. If the p(90) latency is above our target then we know we need to throttle. With this change in place we are seeing the same throttling behavior with our testcase on ssd's as we see with rotational drives.

blk-iolatency: deal with small samples There is logic to keep cgroups that haven't done a lot of IO in the most recent scale window from being punished for over-active higher priority groups. However for things like ssd's where the windows are pretty short we'll end up with small numbers of samples, so 5% of samples will come out to 0 if there aren't enough. Make the floor 1 sample to keep us from improperly bailing out of scaling down. Signed-off-by: Josef Bacik <josef@toxicpanda.com> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@kernel.dk>

block: introduce blk-iolatency io controller Current IO controllers for the block layer are less than ideal for our use case. The io.max controller is great at hard limiting, but it is not work conserving. This patch introduces io.latency. You provide a latency target for your group and we monitor the io in short windows to make sure we are not exceeding those latency targets. This makes use of the rq-qos infrastructure and works much like the wbt stuff. There are a few differences from wbt - It's bio based, so the latency covers the whole block layer in addition to the actual io. - We will throttle all IO types that comes in here if we need to. - We use the mean latency over the 100ms window. This is because writes can be particularly fast, which could give us a false sense of the impact of other workloads on our protected workload. - By default there's no throttling, we set the queue_depth to INT_MAX so that we can have as many outstanding bio's as we're allowed to. Only at throttle time do we pay attention to the actual queue depth. - We backcharge cgroups for root cg issued IO and induce artificial delays in order to deal with cases like metadata only or swap heavy workloads. In testing this has worked out relatively well. Protected workloads will throttle noisy workloads down to 1 io at time if they are doing normal IO on their own, or induce up to a 1 second delay per syscall if they are doing a lot of root issued IO (metadata/swap IO). Our testing has revolved mostly around our production web servers where we have hhvm (the web server application) in a protected group and everything else in another group. We see slightly higher requests per second (RPS) on the test tier vs the control tier, and much more stable RPS across all machines in the test tier vs the control tier. Another test we run is a slow memory allocator in the unprotected group. Before this would eventually push us into swap and cause the whole box to die and not recover at all. With these patches we see slight RPS drops (usually 10-15%) before the memory consumer is properly killed and things recover within seconds.

blk-iolatency: truncate our current time In our longer tests we noticed that some boxes would degrade to the point of uselessness. This is because we truncate the current time when saving it in our bio, but I was using the raw current time to subtract from. So once the box had been up a certain amount of time it would appear as if our IO's were taking several years to complete. Fix this by truncating the current time so it matches the issue time.

Only at throttle time do we pay attention to the actual queue depth. - We backcharge cgroups for root cg issued IO and induce artificial delays in order to deal with cases like metadata only or swap heavy workloads. In testing this has worked out relatively well. Protected workloads will throttle noisy workloads down to 1 io at time if they are doing normal IO on their own, or induce up to a 1 second delay per syscall if they are doing a lot of root issued IO (metadata/swap IO). Our testing has revolved mostly around our production web servers where we have hhvm (the web server application) in a protected group and everything else in another group. We see slightly higher requests per second (RPS) on the test tier vs the control tier, and much more stable RPS across all machines in the test tier vs the control tier. Another test we run is a slow memory allocator in the unprotected group. Before this would eventually push us into swap and cause the whole box to die and not recover at all. With these patches we see slight RPS drops (usually 10-15%) before the memory consumer is properly killed and things recover within seconds.

blk-iolatency: use a percentile approache for ssd's We use an average latency approach for determining if we're missing our latency target. This works well for rotational storage where we have generally consistent latencies, but for ssd's and other low latency devices you have more of a spikey behavior, which means we often won't throttle misbehaving groups because a lot of IO completes at drastically faster times than our latency target. Instead keep track of how many IO's miss our target and how many IO's are done in our time window. If the p(90) latency is above our target then we know we need to throttle. With this change in place we are seeing the same throttling behavior with our testcase on ssd's as we see with rotational drives.

blk-iolatency: keep track of previous windows stats We apply a smoothing to the scale changes in order to keep sawtoothy behavior from occurring.

There are a few differences from wbt - It's bio based, so the latency covers the whole block layer in addition to the actual io. - We will throttle all IO types that comes in here if we need to. - We use the mean latency over the 100ms window. This is because writes can be particularly fast, which could give us a false sense of the impact of other workloads on our protected workload. - By default there's no throttling, we set the queue_depth to INT_MAX so that we can have as many outstanding bio's as we're allowed to. Only at throttle time do we pay attention to the actual queue depth. - We backcharge cgroups for root cg issued IO and induce artificial delays in order to deal with cases like metadata only or swap heavy workloads. In testing this has worked out relatively well. Protected workloads will throttle noisy workloads down to 1 io at time if they are doing normal IO on their own, or induce up to a 1 second delay per syscall if they are doing a lot of root issued IO (metadata/swap IO).

block: make iolatency avg_lat exponentially decay Currently, avg_lat is calculated by accumulating the mean of every window in a long running cumulative average. As time goes on, the metric becomes less and less useful due to the accumulated history. This patch reuses the same calculation done in load averages to make the avg_lat metric more lively. Unlike load averages, the avg only advances when a window elapses (due to an io). Idle periods extend the most recent window. Bucketing is used to limit the history of avg_lat by binding it to the window size. So, the window range for 1/exp (decay rate) is [1 min, 2.5 min) when windows elapse immediately. The current sample window size is exposed in the debug info to enable calculation of the window range.

blk-iolatency: use a percentile approache for ssd's We use an average latency approach for determining if we're missing our latency target. This works well for rotational storage where we have generally consistent latencies, but for ssd's and other low latency devices you have more of a spikey behavior, which means we often won't throttle misbehaving groups because a lot of IO completes at drastically faster times than our latency target. Instead keep track of how many IO's miss our target and how many IO's are done in our time window. If the p(90) latency is above our target then we know we need to throttle. With this change in place we are seeing the same throttling behavior with our testcase on ssd's as we see with rotational drives.

block: introduce blk-iolatency io controller Current IO controllers for the block layer are less than ideal for our use case. The io.max controller is great at hard limiting, but it is not work conserving. This patch introduces io.latency. You provide a latency target for your group and we monitor the io in short windows to make sure we are not exceeding those latency targets. This makes use of the rq-qos infrastructure and works much like the wbt stuff. There are a few differences from wbt - It's bio based, so the latency covers the whole block layer in addition to the actual io. - We will throttle all IO types that comes in here if we need to. - We use the mean latency over the 100ms window. This is because writes can be particularly fast, which could give us a false sense of the impact of other workloads on our protected workload. - By default there's no throttling, we set the queue_depth to INT_MAX so that we can have as many outstanding bio's as we're allowed to. Only at throttle time do we pay attention to the actual queue depth. - We backcharge cgroups for root cg issued IO and induce artificial delays in order to deal with cases like metadata only or swap heavy workloads. In testing this has worked out relatively well. Protected workloads will throttle noisy workloads down to 1 io at time if they are doing normal IO on their own, or induce up to a 1 second delay per syscall if they are doing a lot of root issued IO (metadata/swap IO). Our testing has revolved mostly around our production web servers where we have hhvm (the web server application) in a protected group and everything else in another group. We see slightly higher requests per second (RPS) on the test tier vs the control tier, and much more stable RPS across all machines in the test tier vs the control tier. Another test we run is a slow memory allocator in the unprotected group. Before this would eventually push us into swap and cause the whole box to die and not recover at all. With these patches we see slight RPS drops (usually 10-15%) before the memory consumer is properly killed and things recover within seconds.

Unlike load averages, the avg only advances when a window elapses (due to an io). Idle periods extend the most recent window. Bucketing is used to limit the history of avg_lat by binding it to the window size. So, the window range for 1/exp (decay rate) is [1 min, 2.5 min) when windows elapse immediately.

blk-iolatency: keep track of previous windows stats We apply a smoothing to the scale changes in order to keep sawtoothy behavior from occurring. However our window for checking if we've missed our target can sometimes be lower than the smoothing interval (500ms), especially on faster drives like ssd's. In order to deal with this keep track of the running tally of the previous intervals that we threw away because we had already done a scale event recently. This is needed for the ssd case as these low latency drives will have bursts of latency, and if it happens to be ok for the window that directly follows the opening of the scale window we could unthrottle when previous windows we were missing our target.

This is because writes can be particularly fast, which could give us a false sense of the impact of other workloads on our protected workload. - By default there's no throttling, we set the queue_depth to INT_MAX so that we can have as many outstanding bio's as we're allowed to. Only at throttle time do we pay attention to the actual queue depth. - We backcharge cgroups for root cg issued IO and induce artificial delays in order to deal with cases like metadata only or swap heavy workloads. In testing this has worked out relatively well. Protected workloads will throttle noisy workloads down to 1 io at time if they are doing normal IO on their own, or induce up to a 1 second delay per syscall if they are doing a lot of root issued IO (metadata/swap IO). Our testing has revolved mostly around our production web servers where we have hhvm (the web server application) in a protected group and everything else in another group. We see slightly higher requests per second (RPS) on the test tier vs the control tier, and much more stable RPS across all machines in the test tier vs the control tier. Another test we run is a slow memory allocator in the unprotected group. Before this would eventually push us into swap and cause the whole box to die and not recover at all. With these patches we see slight RPS drops (usually 10-15%) before the memory consumer is properly killed and things recover within seconds.

blk-iolatency: use q->nr_requests directly We were using blk_queue_depth() assuming that it would return nr_requests, but we hit a case in production on drives that had to have NCQ turned off in order for them to not shit the bed which resulted in a qd of 1, even though the nr_requests was much larger. iolatency really only cares about requests we are allowed to queue up, as any io that get's onto the request list is going to be serviced soonish, so we want to be throttling before the bio gets onto the request list. To make iolatency work as expected, simply use q->nr_requests instead of blk_queue_depth() as that is what we actually care about.

blk-iolatency: fix max_depth comparisons max_depth used to be a u64, but I changed it to a unsigned int but didn't convert my comparisons over everywhere. Fix by using UINT_MAX everywhere instead of (u64)-1.

block: introduce blk-iolatency io controller Current IO controllers for the block layer are less than ideal for our use case. The io.max controller is great at hard limiting, but it is not work conserving. This patch introduces io.latency. You provide a latency target for your group and we monitor the io in short windows to make sure we are not exceeding those latency targets. This makes use of the rq-qos infrastructure and works much like the wbt stuff.
