dm kcopyd: Increase default sub-job size to 512KB Currently, kcopyd has a sub-job size of 64KB and a maximum number of 8 sub-jobs. As a result, for any kcopyd job, we have a maximum of 512KB of I/O in flight. This upper limit to the amount of in-flight I/O under-utilizes fast devices and results in decreased throughput, e.g., when writing to a snapshotted thin LV with I/O size less than the pool's block size (so COW is performed using kcopyd). Increase kcopyd's default sub-job size to 512KB, so we have a maximum of 4MB of I/O in flight for each kcopyd job. This results in an up to 96% improvement of bandwidth when writing to a snapshotted thin LV, with I/O sizes less than the pool's block size. Also, add dm_mod.kcopyd_subjob_size_kb module parameter to allow users to fine tune the sub-job size of kcopyd. The default value of this parameter is 512KB and the maximum allowed value is 1024KB. We evaluate the performance impact of the change by running the snap_breaking_throughput benchmark, from the device mapper test suite [1]. The benchmark: 1. Creates a 1G thin LV 2. Provisions the thin LV 3. Takes a snapshot of the thin LV 4. Writes to the thin LV with: dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/vg/thin_lv oflag=direct bs=<I/O size> Running this benchmark with various thin pool block sizes and dd I/O sizes (all combinations triggering the use of kcopyd) we get the following results: +-----------------+-------------+------------------+-----------------+ | Pool block size | dd I/O size | BW before (MB/s) | BW after (MB/s) | +-----------------+-------------+------------------+-----------------+ | 1 MB | 256 KB | 242 | 280 | | 1 MB | 512 KB | 238 | 295 | | | | | | | 2 MB | 256 KB | 238 | 354 | | 2 MB | 512 KB | 241 | 380 | | 2 MB | 1 MB | 245 | 394 | | | | | | | 4 MB | 256 KB | 248 | 412 | | 4 MB | 512 KB | 234 | 432 | | 4 MB | 1 MB | 251 | 474 | | 4 MB | 2 MB | 257 | 504 | | | | | | | 8 MB | 256 KB | 239 | 420 | | 8 MB | 512 KB | 256 | 431 | | 8 MB | 1 MB | 264 | 467 | | 8 MB | 2 MB | 264 | 502 | | 8 MB | 4 MB | 281 | 537 | +-----------------+-------------+------------------+-----------------+ [1] https://github.com/jthornber/device-mapper-test-suite Signed-off-by: Nikos Tsironis <ntsironis@arrikto.com> Signed-off-by: Mike Snitzer <snitzer@redhat.com>

dm kcopyd: Fix bug causing workqueue stalls When using kcopyd to run callbacks through dm_kcopyd_do_callback() or submitting copy jobs with a source size of 0, the jobs are pushed directly to the complete_jobs list, which could be under processing by the kcopyd thread. As a result, the kcopyd thread can continue running completed jobs indefinitely, without releasing the CPU, as long as someone keeps submitting new completed jobs through the aforementioned paths. Processing of work items, queued for execution on the same CPU as the currently running kcopyd thread, is thus stalled for excessive amounts of time, hurting performance.

mm, page_alloc: distinguish between being unable to sleep, unwilling to sleep and avoiding waking kswapd __GFP_WAIT has been used to identify atomic context in callers that hold spinlocks or are in interrupts. They are expected to be high priority and have access one of two watermarks lower than "min" which can be referred to as the "atomic reserve". __GFP_HIGH users get access to the first lower watermark and can be called the "high priority reserve". Over time, callers had a requirement to not block when fallback options were available. Some have abused __GFP_WAIT leading to a situation where an optimisitic allocation with a fallback option can access atomic reserves. This patch uses __GFP_ATOMIC to identify callers that are truely atomic, cannot sleep and have no alternative. High priority users continue to use __GFP_HIGH. __GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM identifies callers that can sleep and are willing to enter direct reclaim. __GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM to identify callers that want to wake kswapd for background reclaim. __GFP_WAIT is redefined as a caller that is willing to enter direct reclaim and wake kswapd for background reclaim. This patch then converts a number of sites o __GFP_ATOMIC is used by callers that are high priority and have memory pools for those requests. GFP_ATOMIC uses this flag. o Callers that have a limited mempool to guarantee forward progress clear __GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM but keep __GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM. bio allocations fall into this category where kswapd will still be woken but atomic reserves are not used as there is a one-entry mempool to guarantee progress. o Callers that are checking if they are non-blocking should use the helper gfpflags_allow_blocking() where possible. This is because checking for __GFP_WAIT as was done historically now can trigger false positives. Some exceptions like dm-crypt.c exist where the code intent is clearer if __GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM is used instead of the helper due to flag manipulations. o Callers that built their own GFP flags instead of starting with GFP_KERNEL and friends now also need to specify __GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM. The first key hazard to watch out for is callers that removed __GFP_WAIT and was depending on access to atomic reserves for inconspicuous reasons. In some cases it may be appropriate for them to use __GFP_HIGH. The second key hazard is callers that assembled their own combination of GFP flags instead of starting with something like GFP_KERNEL. They may now wish to specify __GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM. It's almost certainly harmless if it's missed in most cases as other activity will wake kswapd.

dm kcopyd: avoid queue shuffle Write throughput to LVM snapshot origin volume is an order of magnitude slower than those to LV without snapshots or snapshot target volumes, especially in the case of sequential writes with O_SYNC on. The following patch originally written by Kevin Jamieson and Jan Blunck and slightly modified for the current RCs by myself tries to improve the performance by modifying the behaviour of kcopyd, so that it pushes back an I/O job to the head of the job queue instead of the tail as process_jobs() currently does when it has to wait for free pages. This way, write requests aren't shuffled to cause extra seeks. I tested the patch against 2.6.27-rc5 and got the following results.

As a result, for any kcopyd job, we have a maximum of 512KB of I/O in flight. This upper limit to the amount of in-flight I/O under-utilizes fast devices and results in decreased throughput, e.g., when writing to a snapshotted thin LV with I/O size less than the pool's block size (so COW is performed using kcopyd). Increase kcopyd's default sub-job size to 512KB, so we have a maximum of 4MB of I/O in flight for each kcopyd job. This results in an up to 96% improvement of bandwidth when writing to a snapshotted thin LV, with I/O sizes less than the pool's block size. Also, add dm_mod.kcopyd_subjob_size_kb module parameter to allow users to fine tune the sub-job size of kcopyd. The default value of this parameter is 512KB and the maximum allowed value is 1024KB.

This upper limit to the amount of in-flight I/O under-utilizes fast devices and results in decreased throughput, e.g., when writing to a snapshotted thin LV with I/O size less than the pool's block size (so COW is performed using kcopyd). Increase kcopyd's default sub-job size to 512KB, so we have a maximum of 4MB of I/O in flight for each kcopyd job. This results in an up to 96% improvement of bandwidth when writing to a snapshotted thin LV, with I/O sizes less than the pool's block size. Also, add dm_mod.kcopyd_subjob_size_kb module parameter to allow users to fine tune the sub-job size of kcopyd. The default value of this parameter is 512KB and the maximum allowed value is 1024KB. We evaluate the performance impact of the change by running the snap_breaking_throughput benchmark, from the device mapper test suite [1]. The benchmark: 1. Creates a 1G thin LV 2. Provisions the thin LV 3. Takes a snapshot of the thin LV 4. Writes to the thin LV with: dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/vg/thin_lv oflag=direct bs=<I/O size> Running this benchmark with various thin pool block sizes and dd I/O sizes (all combinations triggering the use of kcopyd) we get the following results: +-----------------+-------------+------------------+-----------------+ | Pool block size | dd I/O size | BW before (MB/s) | BW after (MB/s) | +-----------------+-------------+------------------+-----------------+ | 1 MB | 256 KB | 242 | 280 | | 1 MB | 512 KB | 238 | 295 | | | | | | | 2 MB | 256 KB | 238 | 354 | | 2 MB | 512 KB | 241 | 380 | | 2 MB | 1 MB | 245 | 394 | | | | | | | 4 MB | 256 KB | 248 | 412 | | 4 MB | 512 KB | 234 | 432 | | 4 MB | 1 MB | 251 | 474 | | 4 MB | 2 MB | 257 | 504 | | | | | | | 8 MB | 256 KB | 239 | 420 | | 8 MB | 512 KB | 256 | 431 | | 8 MB | 1 MB | 264 | 467 | | 8 MB | 2 MB | 264 | 502 | | 8 MB | 4 MB | 281 | 537 | +-----------------+-------------+------------------+-----------------+ [1] https://github.com/jthornber/device-mapper-test-suite Signed-off-by: Nikos Tsironis <ntsironis@arrikto.com> Signed-off-by: Mike Snitzer <snitzer@redhat.com>

dm kcopyd: Fix bug causing workqueue stalls When using kcopyd to run callbacks through dm_kcopyd_do_callback() or submitting copy jobs with a source size of 0, the jobs are pushed directly to the complete_jobs list, which could be under processing by the kcopyd thread. As a result, the kcopyd thread can continue running completed jobs indefinitely, without releasing the CPU, as long as someone keeps submitting new completed jobs through the aforementioned paths. Processing of work items, queued for execution on the same CPU as the currently running kcopyd thread, is thus stalled for excessive amounts of time, hurting performance. Running the following test, from the device mapper test suite [1], dmtest run --suite snapshot -n parallel_io_to_many_snaps_N , with 8 active snapshots, we get, in dmesg, messages like the following: [68899.948523] BUG: workqueue lockup - pool cpus=0 node=0 flags=0x0 nice=0 stuck for 95s!

This prevents kcopyd from hogging the CPU indefinitely and causing workqueue stalls. Re-running the aforementioned test: * Workqueue stalls are eliminated * The maximum writing time among all targets is reduced from 09m37.10s to 06m04.85s and the total run time of the test is reduced from 10m43.591s to 7m19.199s [1] https://github.com/jthornber/device-mapper-test-suite Signed-off-by: Nikos Tsironis <ntsironis@arrikto.com> Signed-off-by: Ilias Tsitsimpis <iliastsi@arrikto.com> Signed-off-by: Mike Snitzer <snitzer@redhat.com>
