When an application's iops has exceeded its cgroup's iops limit, surely it is throttled and kernel will set a timer for dispatching, thus IO latency includes the delay. However, the dispatch delay which is calculated by the limit and the elapsed jiffies is suboptimal. As the dispatch delay is only calculated once the application's iops is (iops limit + 1), it doesn't need to wait any longer than the remaining time of the current slice. The difference can be proved by the following fio job and cgroup iops setting, ----- $ echo 4 > /mnt/config/nullb/disk1/mbps # limit nullb's bandwidth to 4MB/s for testing. $ echo "253:1 riops=100 rbps=max" > /sys/fs/cgroup/unified/cg1/io.max $ cat r2.job [global] name=fio-rand-read filename=/dev/nullb1 rw=randread bs=4k direct=1 numjobs=1 time_based=1 runtime=60 group_reporting=1 [file1] size=4G ioengine=libaio iodepth=1 rate_iops=50000 norandommap=1 thinktime=4ms ----- wo patch: file1: (g=0): rw=randread, bs=(R) 4096B-4096B, (W) 4096B-4096B, (T) 4096B-4096B, ioengine=libaio, iodepth=1 fio-3.7-66-gedfc Starting 1 process read: IOPS=99, BW=400KiB/s (410kB/s)(23.4MiB/60001msec) slat (usec): min=10, max=336, avg=27.71, stdev=17.82 clat (usec): min=2, max=28887, avg=5929.81, stdev=7374.29 lat (usec): min=24, max=28901, avg=5958.73, stdev=7366.22 clat percentiles (usec): | 1.00th=[ 4], 5.00th=[ 4], 10.00th=[ 4], 20.00th=[ 4], | 30.00th=[ 4], 40.00th=[ 4], 50.00th=[ 6], 60.00th=[11731], | 70.00th=[11863], 80.00th=[11994], 90.00th=[12911], 95.00th=[22676], | 99.00th=[23725], 99.50th=[23987], 99.90th=[23987], 99.95th=[25035], | 99.99th=[28967] w/ patch: file1: (g=0): rw=randread, bs=(R) 4096B-4096B, (W) 4096B-4096B, (T) 4096B-4096B, ioengine=libaio, iodepth=1 fio-3.7-66-gedfc Starting 1 process read: IOPS=100, BW=400KiB/s (410kB/s)(23.4MiB/60005msec) slat (usec): min=10, max=155, avg=23.24, stdev=16.79 clat (usec): min=2, max=12393, avg=5961.58, stdev=5959.25 lat (usec): min=23, max=12412, avg=5985.91, stdev=5951.92 clat percentiles (usec): | 1.00th=[ 3], 5.00th=[ 3], 10.00th=[ 4], 20.00th=[ 4], | 30.00th=[ 4], 40.00th=[ 5], 50.00th=[ 47], 60.00th=[11863], | 70.00th=[11994], 80.00th=[11994], 90.00th=[11994], 95.00th=[11994], | 99.00th=[11994], 99.50th=[11994], 99.90th=[12125], 99.95th=[12125], | 99.99th=[12387] Signed-off-by: Liu Bo <bo.liu@linux.alibaba.com> --- Rebase against branch for-4.19/block. block/blk-throttle.c | 7 +------ 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 6 deletions(-)
