9 years agodirect-io: only inc/dec inode->i_dio_count for file systems
Jens Axboe [Wed, 15 Apr 2015 23:05:48 +0000 (17:05 -0600)]
direct-io: only inc/dec inode->i_dio_count for file systems

do_blockdev_direct_IO() increments and decrements the inode
->i_dio_count for each IO operation. It does this to protect against
truncate of a file. Block devices don't need this sort of protection.

For a capable multiqueue setup, this atomic int is the only shared
state between applications accessing the device for O_DIRECT, and it
presents a scaling wall for that. In my testing, as much as 30% of
system time is spent incrementing and decrementing this value. A mixed
read/write workload improved from ~2.5M IOPS to ~9.6M IOPS, with
better latencies too. Before:

clat percentiles (usec):
 |  1.00th=[   33],  5.00th=[   34], 10.00th=[   34], 20.00th=[   34],
 | 30.00th=[   34], 40.00th=[   34], 50.00th=[   35], 60.00th=[   35],

 | 99.99th=[  165]

After:

clat percentiles (usec):
 |  1.00th=[   95],  5.00th=[  108], 10.00th=[  129], 20.00th=[  149],
 | 30.00th=[  155], 40.00th=[  161], 50.00th=[  167], 60.00th=[  171],
 | 70.00th=[  177], 80.00th=[  185], 90.00th=[  201], 95.00th=[  270],
 | 99.00th=[  390], 99.50th=[  398], 99.90th=[  418], 99.95th=[  422],
 | 99.99th=[  438]

In other setups, Robert Elliott reported seeing good performance
improvements:

https://lkml.org/lkml/2015/4/3/557

The more applications accessing the device, the worse it gets.

Add a new direct-io flags, DIO_SKIP_DIO_COUNT, which tells
do_blockdev_direct_IO() that it need not worry about incrementing
or decrementing the inode i_dio_count for this caller.

VFS: Add owner-filesystem positive/negative dentry checks

Supply two functions to test whether a filesystem's own dentries are positive
or negative (d_really_is_positive() and d_really_is_negative()).

The problem is that the DCACHE_ENTRY_TYPE field of dentry->d_flags may be
overridden by the union part of a layered filesystem and isn't thus
necessarily indicative of the type of dentry.

Normally, this would involve a negative dentry (ie. ->d_inode == NULL) having
->d_layer.lower pointed to a lower layer dentry, DCACHE_PINNING_LOWER set and
the DCACHE_ENTRY_TYPE field set to something other than DCACHE_MISS_TYPE - but
it could also involve, say, a DCACHE_SPECIAL_TYPE being overridden to
DCACHE_WHITEOUT_TYPE if a 0,0 chardev is detected in the top layer.

However, inside a filesystem, when that fs is looking at its own dentries, it
probably wants to know if they are really negative or not - and doesn't care
about the fallthrough bits used by the union.

To this end, a filesystem should normally use d_really_is_positive/negative()
when looking at its own dentries rather than d_is_positive/negative() and
should use d_inode() to get at the inode.

Anyone looking at someone else's dentries (this includes pathwalk) should use
d_is_xxx() and d_backing_inode().

by the time the call of rw_verify_area() got added, the /dev/mem exception
had already appeared, so it wasn't obvious that the older explicit check
downstream had become dead code.  It *is* a dead code, though, since the few
files for which the exception applies do not have ->aio_{read,write}() or
->{read,write}_iter() and for them we won't reach that check anyway.

What's more, even if we ever introduce vectored methods for /dev/mem
and friends, they'll have to cope with negative positions anyway, since
readv(2) and writev(2) are using the same checks as read(2) and write(2) -

aio: simplify arguments of aio_setup_..._rw()

We don't need req in either of those.  We don't need nr_segs in caller.
We don't really need len in caller either - iov_iter_count(&iter) will do.

the only non-trivial detail is that we do it before rw_verify_area(),
so we'd better cap the length ourselves in aio_setup_single_rw()
case (for vectored case rw_copy_check_uvector() will do that for us).
