[ Upstream commit 99dc422335d8b2bd4d105797241d3e715bae90e9 ]
Currently, io_ticks is accounted based on sampling, specifically update_io_ticks() will always account io_ticks by 1 jiffies from bdev_start_io_acct()/blk_account_io_start(), and the result can be inaccurate, for example(HZ is 250):
Test script: fio -filename=/dev/sda -bs=4k -rw=write -direct=1 -name=test -thinktime=4ms
Test result: util is about 90%, while the disk is really idle.
This behaviour is introduced by commit 5b18b5a73760 ("block: delete part_round_stats and switch to less precise counting"), however, there was a key point that is missed that this patch also improve performance a lot:
Before the commit: part_round_stats: if (part->stamp != now) stats |= 1;
part_in_flight() -> there can be lots of task here in 1 jiffies. part_round_stats_single() __part_stat_add() part->stamp = now;
After the commit: update_io_ticks: stamp = part->bd_stamp; if (time_after(now, stamp)) if (try_cmpxchg()) __part_stat_add() -> only one task can reach here in 1 jiffies.
Hence in order to account io_ticks precisely, we only need to know if there are IO inflight at most once in one jiffies. Noted that for rq-based device, iterating tags should not be used here because 'tags->lock' is grabbed in blk_mq_find_and_get_req(), hence part_stat_lock_inc/dec() and part_in_flight() is used to trace inflight. The additional overhead is quite little:
- per cpu add/dec for each IO for rq-based device; - per cpu sum for each jiffies;
And it's verified by null-blk that there are no performance degration under heavy IO pressure.
