Date: Thu, 2 Sep 2021 13:25:15 -0600 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20210902192520.326283-1-axboe@kernel.dk> (raw)
Hi,
Got a report on io-wq stalls, and it turned into quite the rabbit hole
of fixes. There are two main things fixed by this series:
1) Single ring that has a lot of bounded vs unbounded traffic. The fix
is mainly just splitting the bounded and unbounded lists, so that we
never stall bounded unnecessarily. There are further cleanups possible
on top of this, but that should be deferred to 5.16.
2) Workloads that have io-wq work and rely heavily on signaling to
communicate between processes/threads. This can interfere with worker
creation, and this is particularly troublesome if it just happens to
occur with the first worker creation.
In general, harden the worker creation and ensure we handle failures in
terms of allocations and worker creations.
