Message-ID: <2012101520345871894911@gmail.com> Date: Mon, 15 Oct 2012 20:35:01 +0800 From: "Jianpeng Ma" <majianpeng@...il.com> To: axboe <axboe@...nel.dk> Cc: shli <shli@...ionio.com>, linux-kernel <linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org> Subject: [PATCH] block: Add blk_rq_pos(rq) to sort rq when plushing plug-list. My workload is a raid5 which had 16 disks. And used our filesystem to write using direct-io mode. I used the blktrace to find those message: 8,16 0 3570 1.083923979 2519 I W 144323176 + 24 [md127_raid5] 8,16 0 0 1.083926214 0 m N cfq2519 insert_request 8,16 0 3571 1.083926586 2519 I W 144323072 + 104 [md127_raid5] 8,16 0 0 1.083926952 0 m N cfq2519 insert_request 8,16 0 3572 1.083927180 2519 U N [md127_raid5] 2 8,16 0 0 1.083927870 0 m N cfq2519 Not idling.st->count:1 8,16 0 0 1.083928320 0 m N cfq2519 dispatch_insert 8,16 0 0 1.083928951 0 m N cfq2519 dispatched a request 8,16 0 0 1.083929443 0 m N cfq2519 activate rq,drv=1 8,16 0 3573 1.083929530 2519 D W 144323176 + 24 [md127_raid5] 8,16 0 0 1.083933883 0 m N cfq2519 Not idling.st->count:1 8,16 0 0 1.083934189 0 m N cfq2519 dispatch_insert 8,16 0 0 1.083934654 0 m N cfq2519 dispatched a request 8,16 0 0 1.083935014 0 m N cfq2519 activate rq,drv=2 8,16 0 3574 1.083935101 2519 D W 144323072 + 104 [md127_raid5] 8,16 0 3575 1.084196179 0 C W 144323176 + 24 [0] 8,16 0 0 1.084197979 0 m N cfq2519 complete rqnoidle 0 8,16 0 3576 1.084769073 0 C W 144323072 + 104 [0] ...... 8,16 1 3596 1.091394357 2519 I W 144322544 + 16 [md127_raid5] 8,16 1 0 1.091396181 0 m N cfq2519 insert_request 8,16 1 3597 1.091396571 2519 I W 144322520 + 24 [md127_raid5] 8,16 1 0 1.091396934 0 m N cfq2519 insert_request 8,16 1 3598 1.091397165 2519 I W 144322488 + 32 [md127_raid5] 8,16 1 0 1.091397477 0 m N cfq2519 insert_request 8,16 1 3599 1.091397708 2519 I W 144322432 + 56 [md127_raid5] 8,16 1 0 1.091398023 0 m N cfq2519 insert_request 8,16 1 3600 1.091398284 2519 U N [md127_raid5] 4 8,16 1 0 1.091398986 0 m N cfq2519 Not idling. st->count:1 8,16 1 0 1.091399511 0 m N cfq2519 dispatch_insert 8,16 1 0 1.091400217 0 m N cfq2519 dispatched a request 8,16 1 0 1.091400688 0 m N cfq2519 activate rq,drv=1 8,16 1 3601 1.091400766 2519 D W 144322544 + 16 [md127_raid5] 8,16 1 0 1.091406151 0 m N cfq2519 Not idling.st->count:1 8,16 1 0 1.091406460 0 m N cfq2519 dispatch_insert 8,16 1 0 1.091406931 0 m N cfq2519 dispatched a request 8,16 1 0 1.091407291 0 m N cfq2519 activate rq,drv=2 8,16 1 3602 1.091407378 2519 D W 144322520 + 24 [md127_raid5] 8,16 1 0 1.091414006 0 m N cfq2519 Not idling.st->count:1 8,16 1 0 1.091414297 0 m N cfq2519 dispatch_insert 8,16 1 0 1.091414702 0 m N cfq2519 dispatched a request 8,16 1 0 1.091415047 0 m N cfq2519 activate rq, drv=3 8,16 1 3603 1.091415125 2519 D W 144322488 + 32 [md127_raid5] 8,16 1 0 1.091416469 0 m N cfq2519 Not idling.st->count:1 8,16 1 0 1.091416754 0 m N cfq2519 dispatch_insert 8,16 1 0 1.091417186 0 m N cfq2519 dispatched a request 8,16 1 0 1.091417535 0 m N cfq2519 activate rq,drv=4 8,16 1 3604 1.091417628 2519 D W 144322432 + 56 [md127_raid5] 8,16 1 3605 1.091857225 4393 C W 144322544 + 16 [0] 8,16 1 0 1.091858753 0 m N cfq2519 complete rqnoidle 0 8,16 1 3606 1.092068456 4393 C W 144322520 + 24 [0] 8,16 1 0 1.092069851 0 m N cfq2519 complete rqnoidle 0 8,16 1 3607 1.092350440 4393 C W 144322488 + 32 [0] 8,16 1 0 1.092351688 0 m N cfq2519 complete rqnoidle 0 8,16 1 3608 1.093629323 0 C W 144322432 + 56 [0] 8,16 1 0 1.093631151 0 m N cfq2519 complete rqnoidle 0 8,16 1 0 1.093631574 0 m N cfq2519 will busy wait 8,16 1 0 1.093631829 0 m N cfq schedule dispatch Because in func "elv_attempt_insert_merge", it only to try to backmerge.So the four request can't merge in theory. I trace ten minutes and count those situation, it can count 25%. With the patch,i tested and not found situation like above.
