      cfq-iosched: Do not idle on async queues · 1efe8fe1
      Vivek Goyal authored 
      Few weeks back, Shaohua Li had posted similar patch. I am reposting it
with more test results.

This patch does two things.

- Do not idle on async queues.

- It also changes the write queue depth CFQ drives (cfq_may_dispatch()).
  Currently, we seem to driving queue depth of 1 always for WRITES. This is
  true even if there is only one write queue in the system and all the logic
  of infinite queue depth in case of single busy queue as well as slowly
  increasing queue depth based on last delayed sync request does not seem to
  be kicking in at all.

This patch will allow deeper WRITE queue depths (subjected to the other
WRITE queue depth contstraints like cfq_quantum and last delayed sync
request).

Shaohua Li had reported getting more out of his SSD. For me, I have got
one Lun exported from an HP EVA and when pure buffered writes are on, I
can get more out of the system. Following are test results of pure
buffered writes (with end_fsync=1) with vanilla and patched kernel. These
results are average of 3 sets of run with increasing number of threads.

I also ran buffered writes along with some sequential reads and some
buffered reads going on in the system on a SATA disk because the potential
risk could be that we should not be driving queue depth higher in presence
of sync IO going to keep the max clat low.

With some random and sequential reads going on in the system on one SATA
disk I did not see any significant increase in max clat. So it looks like
other WRITE queue depth control logic is doing its job. Here are the
results.

So looks like it might make sense to include this patch.

      blk-cgroup: Fix potential deadlock in blk-cgroup · bcf4dd43

      I triggered a lockdep warning as following.

test_io_control/7357 is trying to acquire lock:

but task is already holding lock:

which lock already depends on the new lock.

To prevent deadlock, we should take locks as following sequence:

blkio_list_lock -> queue_lock ->  blkcg_lock.

The following patch should fix this bug.
