If many queues belonging to the same group happen to be created shortly after each other, then the concurrent processes associated with these queues have typically a common goal, and they get it done as soon as possible if not hampered by device idling. Examples are processes spawned by git grep, or by systemd during boot. As for device idling, this mechanism is currently necessary for weight raising to succeed in its goal: privileging I/O. In view of these facts, BFQ does not provide the above queues with either weight raising or device idling. On the other hand, a burst of queue creations may be caused also by the start-up of a complex application. In this case, these queues need usually to be served one after the other, and as quickly as possible, to maximise responsiveness. Therefore, in this case the best strategy is to weight-raise all the queues created during the burst, i.e., the exact opposite of the strategy for the above case. To distinguish between the two cases, BFQ uses an empirical burst-size threshold, found through extensive tests and monitoring of daily usage. Only large bursts, i.e., burst with a size above this threshold, are considered as generated by a high number of parallel processes. In this respect, upstart-based boot proved to be rather hard to detect as generating a large burst of queue creations, because with upstart most of the queues created in a burst exit *before* the next queues in the same burst are created. To address this issue, I changed the burst-detection mechanism so as to not decrease the size of the current burst even if one of the queues in the burst is eliminated. Unfortunately, this missing decrease causes false positives on very fast systems: on the start-up of a complex application, such as libreoffice writer, so many queues are created, served and exited shortly after each other, that a large burst of queue creations is wrongly detected as occurring. These false positives just disappear if the size of a burst is decreased when one of the queues in the burst exits. This commit restores the missing burst-size decrease, relying of the fact that upstart is apparently unlikely to be used on systems running this and future versions of the kernel. Signed-off-by:

A just-created bfq_queue, say Q, may happen to be merged with another bfq_queue on the very first invocation of the function __bfq_insert_request. In such a case, even if Q would clearly deserve interactive weight raising (as it has just been created), the function bfq_add_request does not make it to be invoked for Q, and thus to activate weight raising for Q. As a consequence, when the state of Q is saved for a possible future restore, after a split of Q from the other bfq_queue(s), such a state happens to be (unjustly) non-weight-raised. Then the bfq_queue will not enjoy any weight raising on the split, even if should still be in an interactive weight-raising period when the split occurs. This commit solves this problem as follows, for a just-created bfq_queue that is being early-merged: it stores directly, in the saved state of the bfq_queue, the weight-raising state that would have been assigned to the bfq_queue if not early-merged.

As already explained in the message of commit "block, bfq: fix wrong init of saved start time for weight raising", if a soft real-time weight-raising period happens to be nested in a larger interactive weight-raising period, then BFQ restores the interactive weight raising at the end of the soft real-time weight raising. In particular, BFQ checks whether the latter has ended only on request dispatches. Unfortunately, the above scheme fails to restore interactive weight raising in the following corner case: if a bfq_queue, say Q, 1) Is merged with another bfq_queue while it is in a nested soft real-time weight-raising period. The weight-raising state of Q is then saved, and not considered any longer until a split occurs. 2) Is split from the other bfq_queue(s) at a time instant when its soft real-time weight raising is already finished. On the split, while resuming the previous, soft real-time weight-raised state of the bfq_queue Q, BFQ checks whether the current soft real-time weight-raising period is actually over. If so, BFQ switches weight raising off for Q, *without* checking whether the soft real-time period was actually nested in a non-yet-finished interactive weight-raising period. This commit addresses this issue by adding the above missing check in bfq_queue splits, and restoring interactive weight raising if needed. Signed-off-by:

This commit fixes a bug that causes bfq to fail to guarantee a high responsiveness on some drives, if there is heavy random read+write I/O in the background. More precisely, such a failure allowed this bug to be found [1], but the bug may well cause other yet unreported anomalies. BFQ raises the weight of the bfq_queues associated with soft real-time applications, to privilege the I/O, and thus reduce latency, for these applications. This mechanism is named soft-real-time weight raising in BFQ. A soft real-time period may happen to be nested into an interactive weight raising period, i.e., it may happen that, when a bfq_queue switches to a soft real-time weight-raised state, the bfq_queue is already being weight-raised because deemed interactive too. In this case, BFQ saves in a special variable wr_start_at_switch_to_srt, the time instant when the interactive weight-raising period started for the bfq_queue, i.e., the time instant when BFQ started to deem the bfq_queue interactive. This value is then used to check whether the interactive weight-raising period would still be in progress when the soft real-time weight-raising period ends. If so, interactive weight raising is restored for the bfq_queue. This restore is useful, in particular, because it prevents bfq_queues from losing their interactive weight raising prematurely, as a consequence of spurious, short-lived soft real-time weight-raising periods caused by wrong detections as soft real-time. If, instead, a bfq_queue switches to soft-real-time weight raising while it *is not* already in an interactive weight-raising period, then the variable wr_start_at_switch_to_srt has no meaning during the following soft real-time weight-raising period. Unfortunately the handling of this case is wrong in BFQ: not only the variable is not flagged somehow as meaningless, but it is also set to the time when the switch to soft real-time weight-raising occurs. This may cause an interactive weight-raising period to be considered mistakenly as still in progress, and thus a spurious interactive weight-raising period to start for the bfq_queue, at the end of the soft-real-time weight-raising period. In particular the spurious interactive weight-raising period will be considered as still in progress, if the soft-real-time weight-raising period does not last very long. The bfq_queue will then be wrongly privileged and, if I/O bound, will unjustly steal bandwidth to truly interactive or soft real-time bfq_queues, harming responsiveness and low latency. This commit fixes this issue by just setting wr_start_at_switch_to_srt to minus infinity (farthest past time instant according to jiffies macros): when the soft-real-time weight-raising period ends, certainly no interactive weight-raising period will be considered as still in progress.

When someone calls wakeup_flusher_threads() or wakeup_flusher_threads_bdi(), they schedule writeback of all dirty pages in the system (or on that bdi). If we are tight on memory, we can get tons of these queued from kswapd/vmscan. This causes (at least) two problems: 1) We consume a ton of memory just allocating writeback work items. We've seen as much as 600 million of these writeback work items pending. That's a lot of memory to pointlessly hold hostage, while the box is under memory pressure. 2) We spend so much time processing these work items, that we introduce a softlockup in writeback processing. This is because each of the writeback work items don't end up doing any work (it's hard when you have millions of identical ones coming in to the flush machinery), so we just sit in a tight loop pulling work items and deleting/freeing them. Fix this by adding a 'start_all' bit to the writeback structure, and set that when someone attempts to flush all dirty pages. The bit is cleared when we start writeback on that work item. If the bit is already set when we attempt to queue !nr_pages writeback, then we simply ignore it. This provides us one full flush in flight, with one pending as well, and makes for more efficient handling of this type of writeback. Acked-by:
