block, bfq: move debug blkio stats behind CONFIG_DEBUG_BLK_CGROUP

Browse Source 
BFQ currently creates, and updates, its own instance of the whole
set of blkio statistics that cfq creates. Yet, from the comments
of Tejun Heo in [1], it turned out that most of these statistics
are meant/useful only for debugging. This commit makes BFQ create
the latter, debugging statistics only if the option
CONFIG_DEBUG_BLK_CGROUP is set.

By doing so, this commit also enables BFQ to enjoy a high perfomance
boost. The reason is that, if CONFIG_DEBUG_BLK_CGROUP is not set, then
BFQ has to update far fewer statistics, and, in particular, not the
heaviest to update.  To give an idea of the benefits, if
CONFIG_DEBUG_BLK_CGROUP is not set, then, on an Intel i7-4850HQ, and
with 8 threads doing random I/O in parallel on null_blk (configured
with 0 latency), the throughput of BFQ grows from 310 to 400 KIOPS
(+30%). We have measured similar or even much higher boosts with other
CPUs: e.g., +45% with an ARM CortexTM-A53 Octa-core. Our results have
been obtained and can be reproduced very easily with the script in [1].

details on how to configure BFQ for the desired tradeoff between
latency and throughput, or on how to maximize throughput.
BFQ has a non-null overhead, which limits the maximum IOPS that the
CPU can process for a device scheduled with BFQ. To give an idea of
the limits on slow or average CPUs, here are BFQ limits for three
different CPUs, on, respectively, an average laptop, an old desktop,
and a cheap embedded system, in case full hierarchical support is
enabled (i.e., CONFIG_BFQ_GROUP_IOSCHED is set):
BFQ has a non-null overhead, which limits the maximum IOPS that a CPU
can process for a device scheduled with BFQ. To give an idea of the
limits on slow or average CPUs, here are, first, the limits of BFQ for
three different CPUs, on, respectively, an average laptop, an old
desktop, and a cheap embedded system, in case full hierarchical
support is enabled (i.e., CONFIG_BFQ_GROUP_IOSCHED is set), but
CONFIG_DEBUG_BLK_CGROUP is not set (Section 4-2):
- Intel i7-4850HQ: 400 KIOPS
- AMD A8-3850: 250 KIOPS
- ARM CortexTM-A53 Octa-core: 80 KIOPS
If CONFIG_DEBUG_BLK_CGROUP is set (and of course full hierarchical
support is enabled), then the sustainable throughput with BFQ
decreases, because all blkio.bfq* statistics are created and updated
(Section 4-2). For BFQ, this leads to the following maximum
sustainable throughputs, on the same systems as above:
- Intel i7-4850HQ: 310 KIOPS
- AMD A8-3850: 200 KIOPS
- ARM CortexTM-A53 Octa-core: 56 KIOPS

parameter to set the weight of a group with BFQ is blkio.bfq.weight
or io.bfq.weight.
As for cgroups-v1 (blkio controller), the exact set of stat files
created, and kept up-to-date by bfq, depends on whether
CONFIG_DEBUG_BLK_CGROUP is set. If it is set, then bfq creates all
the stat files documented in
Documentation/cgroup-v1/blkio-controller.txt. If, instead,
CONFIG_DEBUG_BLK_CGROUP is not set, then bfq creates only the files
blkio.bfq.io_service_bytes
blkio.bfq.io_service_bytes_recursive
blkio.bfq.io_serviced
blkio.bfq.io_serviced_recursive
The value of CONFIG_DEBUG_BLK_CGROUP greatly influences the maximum
throughput sustainable with bfq, because updating the blkio.bfq.*
stats is rather costly, especially for some of the stats enabled by
CONFIG_DEBUG_BLK_CGROUP.
