There is currently a warning when building the Kryo cpufreq driver into the kernel image: WARNING: vmlinux.o(.text+0x8aa424): Section mismatch in reference from the function qcom_cpufreq_kryo_probe() to the function .init.text:qcom_cpufreq_kryo_get_msm_id() The function qcom_cpufreq_kryo_probe() references the function __init qcom_cpufreq_kryo_get_msm_id(). This is often because qcom_cpufreq_kryo_probe lacks a __init annotation or the annotation of qcom_cpufreq_kryo_get_msm_id is wrong. Remove the '__init' annotation from qcom_cpufreq_kryo_get_msm_id so that there is no more mismatch warning. Additionally, Nick noticed that the remove function was marked as '__init' when it should really be marked as '__exit'.

It is possible that a failure can occur during the scheduling of a pinned event. The initial portion of perf_event_read_local() contains the various error checks an event should pass before it can be considered valid. Ensure that the potential scheduling failure of a pinned event is checked for and have a credible error.

We apply a smoothing to the scale changes in order to keep sawtoothy behavior from occurring. However our window for checking if we've missed our target can sometimes be lower than the smoothing interval (500ms), especially on faster drives like ssd's. In order to deal with this keep track of the running tally of the previous intervals that we threw away because we had already done a scale event recently. This is needed for the ssd case as these low latency drives will have bursts of latency, and if it happens to be ok for the window that directly follows the opening of the scale window we could unthrottle when previous windows we were missing our target.

We use an average latency approach for determining if we're missing our latency target. This works well for rotational storage where we have generally consistent latencies, but for ssd's and other low latency devices you have more of a spikey behavior, which means we often won't throttle misbehaving groups because a lot of IO completes at drastically faster times than our latency target. Instead keep track of how many IO's miss our target and how many IO's are done in our time window. If the p(90) latency is above our target then we know we need to throttle. With this change in place we are seeing the same throttling behavior with our testcase on ssd's as we see with rotational drives.

There is logic to keep cgroups that haven't done a lot of IO in the most recent scale window from being punished for over-active higher priority groups. However for things like ssd's where the windows are pretty short we'll end up with small numbers of samples, so 5% of samples will come out to 0 if there aren't enough. Make the floor 1 sample to keep us from improperly bailing out of scaling down. Signed-off-by: Josef Bacik <josef@toxicpanda.com> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@kernel.dk>

Hitting the case where blk_queue_depth() returned 1 uncovered the fact that iolatency doesn't actually handle this case properly, it simply doesn't scale down anybody. For this case we should go straight into applying the time delay, which we weren't doing. Since we already limit the floor at 1 request this if statement is not needed, and this allows us to set our depth to 1 which allows us to apply the delay if needed.

We were using blk_queue_depth() assuming that it would return nr_requests, but we hit a case in production on drives that had to have NCQ turned off in order for them to not shit the bed which resulted in a qd of 1, even though the nr_requests was much larger. iolatency really only cares about requests we are allowed to queue up, as any io that get's onto the request list is going to be serviced soonish, so we want to be throttling before the bio gets onto the request list. To make iolatency work as expected, simply use q->nr_requests instead of blk_queue_depth() as that is what we actually care about.

When debugging Kyber, it's really useful to know what latencies we've been having, how the domain depths have been adjusted, and if we've actually been throttling.

Kyber's current heuristics have a few flaws: - It's based on the mean latency, but p99 latency tends to be more meaningful to anyone who cares about latency. The mean can also be skewed by rare outliers that the scheduler can't do anything about. - The statistics calculations are purely time-based with a short window. This works for steady, high load, but is more sensitive to outliers with bursty workloads. - It only considers the latency once an I/O has been submitted to the device, but the user cares about the time spent in the kernel, as well. These are shortcomings of the generic blk-stat code which doesn't quite fit the ideal use case for Kyber. So, this replaces the statistics with a histogram used to calculate percentiles of total latency and I/O latency, which we then use to adjust depths in a slightly more intelligent manner: - Sync and async writes are now the same domain. - Discards are a separate domain. - Domain queue depths are scaled by the ratio of the p99 total latency to the target latency (e.g., if the p99 latency is double the target latency, we will double the queue depth; if the p99 latency is half of the target latency, we can halve the queue depth). - We use the I/O latency to determine whether we should scale queue depths down: we will only scale down if any domain's I/O latency exceeds the target latency, which is an indicator of congestion in the device. These new heuristics are just as scalable as the heuristics they replace. Signed-off-by: Omar Sandoval <osandov@fb.com> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@kernel.dk>
