block, bfq: make lookup_next_entity push up vtime on expirations To provide a very smooth service, bfq starts to serve a bfq_queue only if the queue is 'eligible', i.e., if the same queue would have started to be served in the ideal, perfectly fair system that bfq simulates internally. This is obtained by associating each queue with a virtual start time, and by computing a special system virtual time quantity: a queue is eligible only if the system virtual time has reached the virtual start time of the queue. Finally, bfq guarantees that, when a new queue must be set in service, there is always at least one eligible entity for each active parent entity in the scheduler. To provide this guarantee, the function __bfq_lookup_next_entity pushes up, for each parent entity on which it is invoked, the system virtual time to the minimum among the virtual start times of the entities in the active tree for the parent entity (more precisely, the push up occurs if the system virtual time happens to be lower than all such virtual start times). There is however a circumstance in which __bfq_lookup_next_entity cannot push up the system virtual time for a parent entity, even if the system virtual time is lower than the virtual start times of all the child entities in the active tree. It happens if one of the child entities is in service. In fact, in such a case, there is already an eligible entity, the in-service one, even if it may not be not present in the active tree (because in-service entities may be removed from the active tree). Unfortunately, in the last re-design of the hierarchical-scheduling engine, the reset of the pointer to the in-service entity for a given parent entity--reset to be done as a consequence of the expiration of the in-service entity--always happens after the function __bfq_lookup_next_entity has been invoked. This causes the function to think that there is still an entity in service for the parent entity, and then that the system virtual time cannot be pushed up, even if actually such a no-more-in-service entity has already been properly reinserted into the active tree (or in some other tree if no more active). Yet, the system virtual time *had* to be pushed up, to be ready to correctly choose the next queue to serve. Because of the lack of this push up, bfq may wrongly set in service a queue that had been speculatively pre-computed as the possible next-in-service queue, but that would no more be the one to serve after the expiration and the reinsertion into the active trees of the previously in-service entities.

This deactivation may need to be propagated upwards if the entity belongs, in its turn, to a further higher-level entity, and so on. In particular, the upward propagation of deactivation stops at the first parent entity that remains active even if one of its child entities has been deactivated.

Unfortunately, this check misses a corner case: if in_service_entity is not NULL, then next_in_service may happen to be NULL, although the parent entity is evidently active.

block, bfq: don't change ioprio class for a bfq_queue on a service tree On each deactivation or re-scheduling (after being served) of a bfq_queue, BFQ invokes the function __bfq_entity_update_weight_prio(), to perform pending updates of ioprio, weight and ioprio class for the bfq_queue. BFQ also invokes this function on I/O-request dispatches, to raise or lower weights more quickly when needed, thereby improving latency. However, the entity representing the bfq_queue may be on the active (sub)tree of a service tree when this happens, and, although with a very low probability, the bfq_queue may happen to also have a pending change of its ioprio class. If both conditions hold when __bfq_entity_update_weight_prio() is invoked, then the entity moves to a sort of hybrid state: the new service tree for the entity, as returned by bfq_entity_service_tree(), differs from service tree on which the entity still is. The functions that handle activations and deactivations of entities do not cope with such a hybrid state (and would need to become more complex to cope). This commit addresses this issue by just making __bfq_entity_update_weight_prio() not perform also a possible pending change of ioprio class, when invoked on an I/O-request dispatch for a bfq_queue. Such a change is thus postponed to when __bfq_entity_update_weight_prio() is invoked on deactivation or re-scheduling of the bfq_queue.

This deactivation may need to be propagated upwards if the entity belongs, in its turn, to a further higher-level entity, and so on. In particular, the upward propagation of deactivation stops at the first parent entity that remains active even if one of its child entities has been deactivated.

If it is not NULL, then there are certainly other active entities in the parent entity, and deactivations can stop. Unfortunately, this check misses a corner case: if in_service_entity is not NULL, then next_in_service may happen to be NULL, although the parent entity is evidently active. This happens if: 1) the entity pointed by in_service_entity is the only active entity in the parent entity, and 2) according to the definition of next_in_service, the in_service_entity cannot be considered as next_in_service.

If it is not NULL, then there are certainly other active entities in the parent entity, and deactivations can stop. Unfortunately, this check misses a corner case: if in_service_entity is not NULL, then next_in_service may happen to be NULL, although the parent entity is evidently active.

To address this issue, this commit: 1) Extends the above check on only next_in_service to controlling both next_in_service and in_service_entity (if any of them is not NULL, then no further deactivation is performed) 2) Improves the (important) comments on how next_in_service is defined and updated; in particular it fixes a few rather obscure paragraphs Reported-by: Eric Wheeler <bfq-sched@lists.ewheeler.net> Reported-by: Rick Yiu <rick_yiu@htc.com> Reported-by: Tom X Nguyen <tom81094@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Paolo Valente <paolo.valente@linaro.org> Tested-by: Eric Wheeler <bfq-sched@lists.ewheeler.net> Tested-by: Rick Yiu <rick_yiu@htc.com> Tested-by: Laurentiu Nicola <lnicola@dend.ro> Tested-by: Tom X Nguyen <tom81094@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@kernel.dk>

block, bfq: reset in_service_entity if it becomes idle BFQ implements hierarchical scheduling by representing each group of queues with a generic parent entity. For each parent entity, BFQ maintains an in_service_entity pointer: if one of the child entities happens to be in service, in_service_entity points to it. The resetting of these pointers happens only on queue expirations: when the in-service queue is expired, i.e., stops to be the queue in service, BFQ resets all in_service_entity pointers along the parent-entity path from this queue to the root entity. Functions handling the scheduling of entities assume, naturally, that in-service entities are active, i.e., have pending I/O requests (or, as a special case, even if they have no pending requests, they are expected to receive a new request very soon, with the scheduler idling the storage device while waiting for such an event). Unfortunately, the above resetting scheme of the in_service_entity pointers may cause this assumption to be violated. For example, the in-service queue may happen to remain without requests because of a request merge. In this case the queue does become idle, and all related data structures are updated accordingly. But in_service_entity still points to the queue in the parent entity. This inconsistency may even propagate to higher-level parent entities, if they happen to become idle as well, as a consequence of the leaf queue becoming idle. For this queue and parent entities, scheduling functions have an undefined behaviour, and, as reported, may easily lead to kernel crashes or hangs.

block, bfq: make lookup_next_entity push up vtime on expirations To provide a very smooth service, bfq starts to serve a bfq_queue only if the queue is 'eligible', i.e., if the same queue would have started to be served in the ideal, perfectly fair system that bfq simulates internally. This is obtained by associating each queue with a virtual start time, and by computing a special system virtual time quantity: a queue is eligible only if the system virtual time has reached the virtual start time of the queue. Finally, bfq guarantees that, when a new queue must be set in service, there is always at least one eligible entity for each active parent entity in the scheduler. To provide this guarantee, the function __bfq_lookup_next_entity pushes up, for each parent entity on which it is invoked, the system virtual time to the minimum among the virtual start times of the entities in the active tree for the parent entity (more precisely, the push up occurs if the system virtual time happens to be lower than all such virtual start times). There is however a circumstance in which __bfq_lookup_next_entity cannot push up the system virtual time for a parent entity, even if the system virtual time is lower than the virtual start times of all the child entities in the active tree. It happens if one of the child entities is in service. In fact, in such a case, there is already an eligible entity, the in-service one, even if it may not be not present in the active tree (because in-service entities may be removed from the active tree). Unfortunately, in the last re-design of the hierarchical-scheduling engine, the reset of the pointer to the in-service entity for a given parent entity--reset to be done as a consequence of the expiration of the in-service entity--always happens after the function __bfq_lookup_next_entity has been invoked. This causes the function to think that there is still an entity in service for the parent entity, and then that the system virtual time cannot be pushed up, even if actually such a no-more-in-service entity has already been properly reinserted into the active tree (or in some other tree if no more active). Yet, the system virtual time *had* to be pushed up, to be ready to correctly choose the next queue to serve. Because of the lack of this push up, bfq may wrongly set in service a queue that had been speculatively pre-computed as the possible next-in-service queue, but that would no more be the one to serve after the expiration and the reinsertion into the active trees of the previously in-service entities.

block, bfq: make lookup_next_entity push up vtime on expirations To provide a very smooth service, bfq starts to serve a bfq_queue only if the queue is 'eligible', i.e., if the same queue would have started to be served in the ideal, perfectly fair system that bfq simulates internally. This is obtained by associating each queue with a virtual start time, and by computing a special system virtual time quantity: a queue is eligible only if the system virtual time has reached the virtual start time of the queue. Finally, bfq guarantees that, when a new queue must be set in service, there is always at least one eligible entity for each active parent entity in the scheduler. To provide this guarantee, the function __bfq_lookup_next_entity pushes up, for each parent entity on which it is invoked, the system virtual time to the minimum among the virtual start times of the entities in the active tree for the parent entity (more precisely, the push up occurs if the system virtual time happens to be lower than all such virtual start times). There is however a circumstance in which __bfq_lookup_next_entity cannot push up the system virtual time for a parent entity, even if the system virtual time is lower than the virtual start times of all the child entities in the active tree. It happens if one of the child entities is in service. In fact, in such a case, there is already an eligible entity, the in-service one, even if it may not be not present in the active tree (because in-service entities may be removed from the active tree). Unfortunately, in the last re-design of the hierarchical-scheduling engine, the reset of the pointer to the in-service entity for a given parent entity--reset to be done as a consequence of the expiration of the in-service entity--always happens after the function __bfq_lookup_next_entity has been invoked. This causes the function to think that there is still an entity in service for the parent entity, and then that the system virtual time cannot be pushed up, even if actually such a no-more-in-service entity has already been properly reinserted into the active tree (or in some other tree if no more active). Yet, the system virtual time *had* to be pushed up, to be ready to correctly choose the next queue to serve. Because of the lack of this push up, bfq may wrongly set in service a queue that had been speculatively pre-computed as the possible next-in-service queue, but that would no more be the one to serve after the expiration and the reinsertion into the active trees of the previously in-service entities.

* However, we cannot perform the resulting needed

* level, we need first to find the leaf entity to set

block, bfq: make lookup_next_entity push up vtime on expirations To provide a very smooth service, bfq starts to serve a bfq_queue only if the queue is 'eligible', i.e., if the same queue would have started to be served in the ideal, perfectly fair system that bfq simulates internally. This is obtained by associating each queue with a virtual start time, and by computing a special system virtual time quantity: a queue is eligible only if the system virtual time has reached the virtual start time of the queue. Finally, bfq guarantees that, when a new queue must be set in service, there is always at least one eligible entity for each active parent entity in the scheduler. To provide this guarantee, the function __bfq_lookup_next_entity pushes up, for each parent entity on which it is invoked, the system virtual time to the minimum among the virtual start times of the entities in the active tree for the parent entity (more precisely, the push up occurs if the system virtual time happens to be lower than all such virtual start times). There is however a circumstance in which __bfq_lookup_next_entity cannot push up the system virtual time for a parent entity, even if the system virtual time is lower than the virtual start times of all the child entities in the active tree. It happens if one of the child entities is in service. In fact, in such a case, there is already an eligible entity, the in-service one, even if it may not be not present in the active tree (because in-service entities may be removed from the active tree). Unfortunately, in the last re-design of the hierarchical-scheduling engine, the reset of the pointer to the in-service entity for a given parent entity--reset to be done as a consequence of the expiration of the in-service entity--always happens after the function __bfq_lookup_next_entity has been invoked. This causes the function to think that there is still an entity in service for the parent entity, and then that the system virtual time cannot be pushed up, even if actually such a no-more-in-service entity has already been properly reinserted into the active tree (or in some other tree if no more active). Yet, the system virtual time *had* to be pushed up, to be ready to correctly choose the next queue to serve. Because of the lack of this push up, bfq may wrongly set in service a queue that had been speculatively pre-computed as the possible next-in-service queue, but that would no more be the one to serve after the expiration and the reinsertion into the active trees of the previously in-service entities.
