From: Tejun Heo tj@kernel.org Date: Tue, 11 May 2021 21:38:36 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] blk-iocost: fix weight updates of inner active iocgs
When the weight of an active iocg is updated, weight_updated() is called which in turn calls __propagate_weights() to update the active and inuse weights so that the effective hierarchical weights are update accordingly.
The current implementation is incorrect for inner active nodes. For an active leaf iocg, inuse can be any value between 1 and active and the difference represents how much the iocg is donating. When weight is updated, as long as inuse is clamped between 1 and the new weight, we're alright and this is what __propagate_weights() currently implements.
However, that's not how an active inner node's inuse is set. An inner node's inuse is solely determined by the ratio between the sums of inuse's and active's of its children - ie. they're results of propagating the leaves' active and inuse weights upwards. __propagate_weights() incorrectly applies the same clamping as for a leaf when an active inner node's weight is updated. Consider a hierarchy which looks like the following with saturating workloads in AA and BB.
R / \ A B | | AA BB
1. For both A and B, active=100, inuse=100, hwa=0.5, hwi=0.5.
2. echo 200 > A/io.weight
3. __propagate_weights() update A's active to 200 and leave inuse at 100 as it's already between 1 and the new active, making A:active=200, A:inuse=100. As R's active_sum is updated along with A's active, A:hwa=2/3, B:hwa=1/3. However, because the inuses didn't change, the hwi's remain unchanged at 0.5.
4. The weight of A is now twice that of B but AA and BB still have the same hwi of 0.5 and thus are doing the same amount of IOs.
Fix it by making __propgate_weights() always calculate the inuse of an active inner iocg based on the ratio of child_inuse_sum to child_active_sum.
