A sequence counter write side critical section must be protected by some
form of locking to serialize writers. A plain seqcount_t does not
contain the information of which lock must be held when entering a write
side critical section.
Use the new seqcount_spinlock_t data type, which allows to associate a
spinlock with the sequence counter. This enables lockdep to verify that
the spinlock used for writer serialization is held when the write side
critical section is entered.
If lockdep is disabled this lock association is compiled out and has
neither storage size nor runtime overhead.

When the QoS targets are met and nothing is being throttled, there's
no way to tell how saturated the underlying device is - it could be
almost entirely idle, at the cusp of saturation or anywhere inbetween.
Given that there's no information, it's best to keep vrate as-is in
this state. Before 7cd806a9a9 ("iocost: improve nr_lagging
handling"), this was the case - if the device isn't missing QoS
targets and nothing is being throttled, busy_level was reset to zero.
While fixing nr_lagging handling, 7cd806a9a9 ("iocost: improve
nr_lagging handling") broke this. Now, while the device is hitting
QoS targets and nothing is being throttled, vrate keeps getting
adjusted according to the existing busy_level.
This led to vrate keeping climing till it hits max when there's an IO
issuer with limited request concurrency if the vrate started low.
vrate starts getting adjusted upwards until the issuer can issue IOs
w/o being throttled. From then on, QoS targets keeps getting met and
nothing on the system needs throttling and vrate keeps getting
increased due to the existing busy_level.
This patch makes the following changes to the busy_level logic.
* Reset busy_level if nr_shortages is zero to avoid the above
scenario.
* Make non-zero nr_lagging block lowering nr_level but still clear
positive busy_level if there's clear non-saturation signal - QoS
targets are met and nr_shortages is non-zero. nr_lagging's role is
preventing adjusting vrate upwards while there are long-running
commands and it shouldn't keep busy_level positive while there's
clear non-saturation signal.
* Restructure code for clarity and add comments.

abs_vdebt is an atomic_64 which tracks how much over budget a given cgroup
is and controls the activation of use_delay mechanism. Once a cgroup goes
over budget from forced IOs, it has to pay it back with its future budget.
The progress guarantee on debt paying comes from the iocg being active -
active iocgs are processed by the periodic timer, which ensures that as time
passes the debts dissipate and the iocg returns to normal operation.
However, both iocg activation and vdebt handling are asynchronous and a
sequence like the following may happen.
1. The iocg is in the process of being deactivated by the periodic timer.
2. A bio enters ioc_rqos_throttle(), calls iocg_activate() which returns
without anything because it still sees that the iocg is already active.
3. The iocg is deactivated.
4. The bio from #2 is over budget but needs to be forced. It increases
abs_vdebt and goes over the threshold and enables use_delay.
5. IO control is enabled for the iocg's subtree and now IOs are attributed
to the descendant cgroups and the iocg itself no longer issues IOs.
This leaves the iocg with stuck abs_vdebt - it has debt but inactive and no
further IOs which can activate it. This can end up unduly punishing all the
descendants cgroups.
The usual throttling path has the same issue - the iocg must be active while
throttled to ensure that future event will wake it up - and solves the
problem by synchronizing the throttling path with a spinlock. abs_vdebt
handling is another form of overage handling and shares a lot of
characteristics including the fact that it isn't in the hottest path.
This patch fixes the above and other possible races by strictly
synchronizing abs_vdebt and use_delay handling with iocg->waitq.lock.

Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@kernel.dk>
On each IO completion, iocost decides whether the IO met or missed its latency
target. Currently, the targets are fixed numbers per IO type. While this can be
good enough for loose latency targets way higher than typical completion
latencies, the effect of IO size makes it difficult to tighten the latency
target - a target adequate for 4k IOs might be too tight for 512k IOs and
vice-versa.
iocost already has all the necessary information to account for different IO
sizes when testing whether the latency target is met as iocost can calculate the
size vtime cost of a given IO. This patch updates the completion path to
calculate the size vtime cost of the IO, deduct the nsec equivalent from the
observed latency and use the adjusted value to decide whether the target is met.
This makes latency targets independent from IO size and enables determining
adequate latency targets with fixed size fio runs.

The use_delay mechanism was introduced by blk-iolatency to hold memory
allocators accountable for the reclaim and other shared IOs they cause. The
duration of the delay is dynamically balanced between iolatency increasing the
value on each target miss and it auto-decaying as time passes and threads get
delayed on it.
While this works well for iolatency, iocost's control model isn't compatible
with it. There is no repeated "violation" events which can be balanced against
auto-decaying. iocost instead knows how much a given cgroup is over budget and
wants to prevent that cgroup from issuing IOs while over budget. Until now,
iocost has been adding the cost of force-issued IOs. However, this doesn't
reflect the amount which is already over budget and is simply not enough to
counter the auto-decaying allowing anon-memory leaking low priority cgroup to
go over its alloted share of IOs.
As auto-decaying doesn't make much sense for iocost, this patch introduces a
different mode of operation for use_delay - when blkcg_set_delay() are used
insted of blkcg_add/use_delay(), the delay duration is not auto-decayed until it
is explicitly cleared with blkcg_clear_delay(). iocost is updated to keep the
delay duration synchronized to the budget overage amount.
With this change, iocost can effectively police cgroups which generate
significant amount of force-issued IOs.

When over-budget IOs are force-issued through root cgroup,
iocg_kick_delay() adjusts the async delay accordingly but doesn't
actually schedule async throttle for the issuing task. This bug is
pretty well masked because sooner or later the offending threads are
gonna get directly throttled on regular IOs or have async delay
scheduled by mem_cgroup_throttle_swaprate().
However, it can affect control quality on filesystem metadata heavy
operations. Let's fix it by invoking blkcg_schedule_throttle() when

The default hard disk param sets latency targets at 50ms. As the
default target percentiles are zero, these don't directly regulate
vrate; however, they're still used to calculate the period length -
100ms in this case.
This is excessively low. A SATA drive with QD32 saturated with random
IOs can easily reach avg completion latency of several hundred msecs.
A period duration which is substantially lower than avg completion
latency can lead to wildly fluctuating vrate.
Let's bump up the default latency targets to 250ms so that the period
duration is sufficiently long.

Some IOs may span multiple periods. As latencies are collected on
completion, the inbetween periods won't register them and may
incorrectly decide to increase vrate. nr_lagging tracks these IOs to
avoid those situations. Currently, whenever there are IOs which are
spanning from the previous period, busy_level is reset to 0 if
negative thus suppressing vrate increase.
This has the following two problems.
* When latency target percentiles aren't set, vrate adjustment should
only be governed by queue depth depletion; however, the current code
keeps nr_lagging active which pulls in latency results and can keep
down vrate unexpectedly.
* When lagging condition is detected, it resets the entire negative
busy_level. This turned out to be way too aggressive on some
devices which sometimes experience extended latencies on a small
subset of commands. In addition, a lagging IO will be accounted as
latency target miss on completion anyway and resetting busy_level
amplifies its impact unnecessarily.
This patch fixes the above two problems by disabling nr_lagging
counting when latency target percentiles aren't set and blocking vrate
increases when there are lagging IOs while leaving busy_level as-is.

Merges have the same problem that forced-bios had which is fixed by
the previous patch. The cost of a merge is calculated at the time of
issue and force-advances vtime into the future. Until global vtime
catches up, how the cgroup's hweight changes in the meantime doesn't
matter and it often leads to situations where the cost is calculated
at one hweight and paid at a very different one. See the previous
patch for more details.
Fix it by never advancing vtime into the future for merges. If budget
is available, vtime is advanced. Otherwise, the cost is charged as
debt.
This brings merge cost handling in line with issue cost handling in
ioc_rqos_throttle().

Currently, when a bio needs to be force-charged and there isn't enough
budget, vtime is simply pushed into the future. This means that the
cost of the whole bio is scaled using the current hweight and then
charged immediately. Until the global vtime advances beyond this
future vtime, the cgroup won't be allowed to issue normal IOs.
This is incorrect and can lead to, for example, exploding vrate or
extended stalls if vrate range is constrained. Consider the following
scenario.
1. A cgroup with a very low hweight runs out of budget.
2. A storm of swap-out happens on it. All of them are scaled
according to the current low hweight and charged to vtime pushing
it to a far future.
3. All other cgroups go idle and now the above cgroup has access to
the whole device. However, because vtime is already wound using
the past low hweight, what its current hweight is doesn't matter
until global vtime catches up to the local vtime.
4. As a result, either vrate gets ramped up extremely or the IOs stall
while the underlying device is idle.
This is because the hweight the overage is calculated at is different
from the hweight that it's being paid at.
Fix it by remembering the overage in absoulte vtime and continuously
paying with the actual budget according to the current hweight at each
period.
Note that non-forced bios which wait already remembers the cost in
absolute vtime. This brings forced-bio accounting in line.

This patchset implements IO cost model based work-conserving
proportional controller.
While io.latency provides the capability to comprehensively prioritize
and protect IOs depending on the cgroups, its protection is binary -
the lowest latency target cgroup which is suffering is protected at
the cost of all others. In many use cases including stacking multiple
workload containers in a single system, it's necessary to distribute
IO capacity with better granularity.
One challenge of controlling IO resources is the lack of trivially
observable cost metric. The most common metrics - bandwidth and iops
- can be off by orders of magnitude depending on the device type and
IO pattern. However, the cost isn't a complete mystery. Given
several key attributes, we can make fairly reliable predictions on how
expensive a given stream of IOs would be, at least compared to other
IO patterns.
The function which determines the cost of a given IO is the IO cost
model for the device. This controller distributes IO capacity based
on the costs estimated by such model. The more accurate the cost
model the better but the controller adapts based on IO completion
latency and as long as the relative costs across differents IO
patterns are consistent and sensible, it'll adapt to the actual
performance of the device.
Currently, the only implemented cost model is a simple linear one with
a few sets of default parameters for different classes of device.
This covers most common devices reasonably well. All the
infrastructure to tune and add different cost models is already in
place and a later patch will also allow using bpf progs for cost
models.
Please see the top comment in blk-iocost.c and documentation for
more details.
