I think there is a much simpler approach. What about: 1) Use a request queue flag to indicate "limit BIO size" 2) modify __bio_try_merge_page() to look at that flag to disallow page merging if the bio size exceeds blk_queue_get_max_sectors(), or more ideally a version of it that takes into account the bio start sector. 3) Set the "limit bio size" queue flag in the driver of the device that benefit from this change. Eventually, that could also be controlled through sysfs. With such change, you will get the same result without having to increase the BIO structure size.
Hi Changheun,

Additional check for every page merge like as below is inefficient I think. bool __bio_try_merge_page(struct bio *bio, struct page *page, unsigned int len, unsigned int off, bool *same_page) { ... if (page_is_mergeable(bv, page, len, off, same_page)) { if (bio->bi_iter.bi_size > UINT_MAX - len) { *same_page = false; return false; } + if (blk_queue_limit_bio_max_size(bio) && + (bio->bi_iter.bi_size > blk_queue_get_bio_max_size(bio) - len)) { + *same_page = false; + return false; + } bv->bv_len += len; bio->bi_iter.bi_size += len; return true; } ... } static inline bool bio_full(struct bio *bio, unsigned len) { ... if (bio->bi_iter.bi_size > UINT_MAX - len) return true; + if (blk_queue_limit_bio_max_size(bio) && + (bio->bi_iter.bi_size > blk_queue_get_bio_max_size(bio) - len)) + return true; ... } Page merge is CPU-bound job as you said. How about below with adding of bi_max_size in bio? bool __bio_try_merge_page(struct bio *bio, struct page *page, unsigned int len, unsigned int off, bool *same_page) { ... if (page_is_mergeable(bv, page, len, off, same_page)) { - if (bio->bi_iter.bi_size > UINT_MAX - len) { + if (bio->bi_iter.bi_size > bio->bi_max_size - len) { *same_page = false; return false; } bv->bv_len += len; bio->bi_iter.bi_size += len; return true; } ... } static inline bool bio_full(struct bio *bio, unsigned len) { ... - if (bio->bi_iter.bi_size > UINT_MAX - len) + if (bio->bi_iter.bi_size > bio->bi_max_size - len) return true; ... } +void bio_set_dev(struct bio *bio, struct block_device *bdev) +{ + if (bio->bi_disk != bdev->bd_disk) + bio_clear_flag(bio, BIO_THROTTLED); + + bio->bi_disk = bdev->bd_disk; + bio->bi_partno = bdev->bd_partno; + if (blk_queue_limit_bio_max_size(bio)) + bio->bi_max_size = blk_queue_get_bio_max_size(bio); + + bio_associate_blkg(bio); +} +EXPORT_SYMBOL(bio_set_dev); >-- >Damien Le Moal >Western Digital Research --- Changheun Lee Samsung Electronics

It is possible, but since it is a critical kernel resource used a lot, keeping it as small as possible for performance reasons is strongly desired. So if there is a coding scheme that can avoid increasing struct bio size, it should be explored first and discarded only with very good reasons. > Additional check for every page merge like as below is inefficient I think. For the general case of devices that do not care about limiting the bio size (like now), this will add one boolean evaluation (queue flag test). That's it. For your case, sure you now have 2 boolean evals instead of one. But that must be put in perspective with the cost of increasing the bio size. > > bool __bio_try_merge_page(struct bio *bio, struct page *page, > unsigned int len, unsigned int off, bool *same_page) > { > ... > if (page_is_mergeable(bv, page, len, off, same_page)) { > if (bio->bi_iter.bi_size > UINT_MAX - len) { > *same_page = false; > return false; > } > > + if (blk_queue_limit_bio_max_size(bio) && > + (bio->bi_iter.bi_size > > blk_queue_get_bio_max_size(bio) - len)) { > + *same_page = false; > + return false; > + } > > bv->bv_len += len; > bio->bi_iter.bi_size += len; > return true; > } > ... > } > > > static inline bool bio_full(struct bio *bio, unsigned len) > { > ... > if (bio->bi_iter.bi_size > UINT_MAX - len) > return true; > > + if (blk_queue_limit_bio_max_size(bio) && > + (bio->bi_iter.bi_size > blk_queue_get_bio_max_size(bio) - len)) > + return true; > ... > } > > > Page merge is CPU-bound job as you said. > How about below with adding of bi_max_size in bio? I am not a fan of adding a bio field for using it only in one place. This is only my opinion. I will let others comment about this, but personnally I would rather do something like this: #define blk_queue_limit_bio_merge_size(q) \ test_bit(QUEUE_FLAG_LIMIT_MERGE, &(q)->queue_flags) static inline unsigned int bio_max_merge_size(struct bio *bio) { struct request_queue *q = bio->bi_disk->queue; if (blk_queue_limit_bio_merge_size(q)) return blk_queue_get_max_sectors(q, bio_op(bio)) << SECTOR_SHIFT; return UINT_MAX; } and use that helper in __bio_try_merge_page(), e.g.: if (bio->bi_iter.bi_size > bio_max_merge_size(bio) - len) { *same_page = false; return false; } No need to change the bio struct. If you measure performance with and without this change on nullblk, you can verify if it has any impact for regular devices. And for your use case, that should give you the same performance. > > bool __bio_try_merge_page(struct bio *bio, struct page *page, > unsigned int len, unsigned int off, bool *same_page) > { > ... > if (page_is_mergeable(bv, page, len, off, same_page)) { > - if (bio->bi_iter.bi_size > UINT_MAX - len) { > + if (bio->bi_iter.bi_size > bio->bi_max_size - len) { > *same_page = false; > return false; > } > > bv->bv_len += len; > bio->bi_iter.bi_size += len; > return true; > } > ... > } > > > static inline bool bio_full(struct bio *bio, unsigned len) > { > ... > - if (bio->bi_iter.bi_size > UINT_MAX - len) > + if (bio->bi_iter.bi_size > bio->bi_max_size - len) > return true; > ... > } > > +void bio_set_dev(struct bio *bio, struct block_device *bdev) > +{ > + if (bio->bi_disk != bdev->bd_disk) > + bio_clear_flag(bio, BIO_THROTTLED); > + > + bio->bi_disk = bdev->bd_disk; > + bio->bi_partno = bdev->bd_partno; > + if (blk_queue_limit_bio_max_size(bio)) > + bio->bi_max_size = blk_queue_get_bio_max_size(bio); > + > + bio_associate_blkg(bio); > +} > +EXPORT_SYMBOL(bio_set_dev); > > > -- > > Damien Le Moal > > Western Digital Research > > --- > Changheun Lee > Samsung Electronics

IMO, the issue should only exist on sync direct IO and writeback. Not sure if writeback cares this small delay because user data has been written to page cache already. Wrt. your big direct IO case, as I suggested, you may reduce the submission delay a lot by applying THP.

As you said, this small delay is not affect in case of writeback. It's not common, but there are needs of direct I/O from userspace. It will be operated optional, not default in v3 patch version. And it'll be activated with queue flag, or sysfs node.
