Subject: [PATCH BUGFIX 1/4] block, bfq: add/remove entity weights correctly
To keep I/O throughput high as often as possible, BFQ performs
I/O-dispatch plugging (aka device idling) only when beneficial exactly
for throughput, or when needed for service guarantees (low latency,
fairness). An important case where the latter condition holds is when
the scenario is 'asymmetric' in terms of weights: i.e., when some
bfq_queue or whole group of queues has a higher weight, and thus has
to receive more service, than other queues or groups. Without dispatch
plugging, lower-weight queues/groups may unjustly steal bandwidth to
higher-weight queues/groups.
To detect asymmetric scenarios, BFQ checks some sufficient
conditions. One of these conditions is that active groups have
different weights. BFQ controls this condition by maintaining a
special set of unique weights of active groups
(group_weights_tree). To this purpose, in the function
bfq_active_insert/bfq_active_extract BFQ adds/removes the weight of a
group to/from this set.
Unfortunately, the function bfq_active_extract may happen to be
invoked also for a group that is still active (to preserve the correct
update of the next queue to serve, see comments in function
bfq_no_longer_next_in_service() for details). In this case, removing
the weight of the group makes the set group_weights_tree
inconsistent. Service-guarantee violations follow.
This commit addresses this issue by moving group_weights_tree
insertions from their previous location (in bfq_active_insert) into
the function __bfq_activate_entity, and by moving group_weights_tree
extractions from bfq_active_extract to when the entity that represents
a group remains throughly idle, i.e., with no request either enqueued
or dispatched.
