Subject: Issue with block I/O cgroup in case of threads
Hi All,
I am testing the cgroup block IO attributes in multiple threads scenario.
I tried testing Throttling policy (max read/write bytes per second per device)
that can be set using the following attribute-
"blkio.throttle.write_bps_device"
"blkio.throttle.read_bps_device"
but I am not getting appropriate bandwidth readings, in case of
process and threads.
The following is my kernel configuration-
# CONFIG_RCU_BOOST is not set
# CONFIG_IKCONFIG is not set
CONFIG_LOG_BUF_SHIFT=17
CONFIG_CGROUPS=y
# CONFIG_CGROUP_DEBUG is not set
# CONFIG_CGROUP_FREEZER is not set
CONFIG_CGROUP_DEVICE=y
# CONFIG_CPUSETS is not set
# CONFIG_CGROUP_CPUACCT is not set
CONFIG_RESOURCE_COUNTERS=y
CONFIG_CGROUP_MEM_RES_CTLR=y
CONFIG_CGROUP_MEM_RES_CTLR_SWAP=y
CONFIG_CGROUP_MEM_RES_CTLR_SWAP_ENABLED=y
# CONFIG_CGROUP_PERF is not set
CONFIG_CGROUP_SCHED=y
CONFIG_FAIR_GROUP_SCHED=y
CONFIG_RT_GROUP_SCHED=y
CONFIG_BLK_CGROUP=y
CONFIG_DEBUG_BLK_CGROUP=y
# CONFIG_NAMESPACES is not set
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_THROTTLING=y
CONFIG_CFQ_GROUP_IOSCHED=y
Below is the procedure that I followed for testing-
first of all I mounted the cgroup blkio on /mnt
$mount -t cgroup -o blkio none /mnt
$mount | grep "cgroup"
==> output
none on /sys/fs/cgroup type cgroup (rw,relatime,cpu)
none on /mnt type cgroup (rw,relatime,blkio)
The default readings were taken through dd command
$dd if=linux.3.0.20.tgz of=/dev/null bs=4096 count=51200
28419+1 records in
28419+1 records out
116405611 bytes (111.0MB) copied, 6.041795 seconds, 18.4MB/s
$dd if=/dev/zero of=test1 bs=4096 count=51200
51200+0 records in
51200+0 records out
209715200 bytes (200.0MB) copied, 31.203680 seconds, 6.4MB/s
Then I made two groups in /mnt named g1 and g2 and set the bandwidth -
$echo "8:0 2097152" > /mnt/g1/blkio.throttle.read_bps_device //2MB
$echo "8:0 16777216" > /mnt/g2/blkio.throttle.read_bps_device //16MB
$echo "8:0 1048576" > /mnt/g1/blkio.throttle.write_bps_device //1MB
$echo "8:0 5242880" > /mnt/g2/blkio.throttle.write_bps_device //5MB
