I looked through your two traces.  Unfortunately they don't help --
they are essentially identical.  Exactly the same sequence of commands
was sent to the device in both traces, except for a couple of
inconsequential TEST UNIT READY commands.

There are some timing differences, but they occur in between commands,
not during a command.  They probably are the times you spent typing
stuff into the terminal.

Can you run another test?  Similar to the last one, but this time start
collecting the usbmon trace at least 10 seconds after the drive is
plugged in.  Then mount the drive, copy a small file (say less than 500
bytes) to it, unmount it, and then stop the trace.

I own another device (let's refer to it as "black odd"), identical to
the "slow" one (call it "black even"), and used it as well  to do the
tests, especially in the beginning of this story, because I suspected
the problem could be related to a faulty pen drive. At a certain time
I realized that the tests I performed didn't show any difference
between the two flash drives, so since that time I kept using just the
"black even". They were bought together, so of course both of them
probably belong to the same "maybe-bad batch".

But I have another Kingston DataTraveler ("White"), externally
slightly different from the other twos (it's white instead of black,
and labeled G4 instead of G3), though lsusb shows the same IDs:
0951:1666. It had been purchased some months after the other twos
(well, actually, it may be the result of an RMA exchange).

I have just ran one test on this White one, with the new (patched)
kernel, and it took an average of 200seconds (st.dev=46s), which is
not "good", but less "bad" than the real "bad" case of the "black"
ones (>1000 seconds).

I have also tried the "WHITE" one with the old fast kernel, and the
behavior is almost the same as with the new kernel, though a little
bit better (mean=173; st.dev.=11).

Feel free to let me know if I should do other tries,

thanks,
Andrea

I attached the whole script to this thread, I attach it again to this
message and copy the relevant lines here:

  mount UUID=$uuid /mnt/pendrive 2>&1 |tee -a $logfile
  SECONDS=0
  cp $testfile /mnt/pendrive 2>&1 |tee -a $logfile
  umount /mnt/pendrive 2>&1 |tee -a $logfile

Meanwhile, I am going on with the further tests as suggested

Thanks,
Andrea

Thanks for collecting the log.

From the log, some of write IOs are out-of-order, such as, the 1st one
is 378880.

16.41240 2   266     266     kworker/2:1H    block_rq_issue   b'W' 370656 240
16.41961 3   485     485     kworker/3:1H    block_rq_issue   b'W' 378880 240
16.73729 2   266     266     kworker/2:1H    block_rq_issue   b'W' 370896 240
17.71161 2   266     266     kworker/2:1H    block_rq_issue   b'W' 379120 240
18.02344 2   266     266     kworker/2:1H    block_rq_issue   b'W' 371136 240
18.94314 3   485     485     kworker/3:1H    block_rq_issue   b'W' 379360 240
19.25624 2   266     266     kworker/2:1H    block_rq_issue   b'W' 371376 240

IO latency is increased a lot since the 1st out-of-order request(usb
storage HBA is single queue depth, one request can be issued only if 
the previous issued request is completed).

The reason is that there are two kind of tasks which inserts rq to device.
One is the 'cp' process, the other is kworker/u8:*.  The out-of-order
happens during the two task's interleaving.

Under such situation, I believe that the old legacy IO path may not
guarantee the order too. In blk_queue_bio(), after get_request()
allocates one request, the queue lock is released.  And request is
actually inserted & issued from blk_flush_plug_list() under the
branch of 'if (plug)'. If requests are from two tasks, then request
is inserted/issued from two plug list, and no order can be guaranteed.

In my test, except for several requests from the beginning, all other
requests are inserted via the kworker thread(guess it is writeback wq),
that is why I can't observe the issue in my test.

As Schmid suggested, you may run the same test on old kernel with
legacy io path, and see if the performance is still good.

Also, could you share the following info about your machine? So that
I can build my VM guest in this setting for reproducing your situation
(requests are inserted from two types of threads).

- lscpu
- free -h
- lsblk -d $USB_DISK
- exact commands for mount the disk, and running the copy operation

Thanks,
Ming

Thanks, it worked, trace attached. Produced by: start the trace script
(with the pendrive already plugged), wait some seconds, run the test
(1 trial, 1 GB), wait for the test to finish, stop the trace.

The copy took 2659 seconds, roughly as already seen before.

Thanks,

It can be workaround via the following change:

/lib/modules/5.4.0+/build/include/generated/autoconf.h:

//#define CONFIG_CC_HAS_ASM_INLINE 1

The sheer volume of testing (probably some terabytes by now) would 
exercise the wear leveling algorithm in the FTL.

This in itself seems unlikely to improve performance significantly. But if 
the flash memory came from a bad batch, perhaps it would have that effect.

To find out, someone may need to source another (genuine) Kingston 
DataTraveller device.

yes, every time my test script (attached) mounts, copy, unmount (but I
don't unplug and replug the pendrive each time). Is this enough?

ok, so I try:

# lsblk /dev/sdf
NAME   MAJ:MIN RM  SIZE RO TYPE MOUNTPOINT
sdf      8:80   1 28,8G  0 disk 
└─sdf1   8:81   1 28,8G  0 part 

so I ran your script (the second one, which you sent me in the next
email message) with:

./test_ming 8 80

but it fails to run (terminal output is in attached errors.txt).
What am I doing wrong?

It's still not clear to me if I need to start the trace script and
then the test, or the opposite (or doesn't matter). The above errors
are in the former case (I didn't even start the test, actually)

Thanks,
Andrea

Also use the following trace script this time:

#!/bin/sh

MAJ=$1
MIN=$2
MAJ=$(( $MAJ << 20 ))
DEV=$(( $MAJ | $MIN ))

/usr/share/bcc/tools/trace -t -C \
    't:block:block_rq_issue (args->dev == '$DEV') "%s %d %d", args->rwbs, args->sector, args->nr_sector' \
    't:block:block_rq_insert (args->dev == '$DEV') "%s %d %d", args->rwbs, args->sector, args->nr_sector'

OK.

I tested 256M because IO timeout is often triggered in case of
qemu-ehci, and it is a long-term issue. When setting up the disk
via xhci-qemu, the max request size is increased to 1MB from 120KB,
and IO pattern changed too. When the disk is connected via uhci-qemu,
the transfer is too slow(1MB/s) because max endpoint size is too small.

However, I just waited 16min and collected all the 1GB IO log by
connecting disk over uhci-qemu, but the sector of each data IO
is still in order.

The 'cp' test is buffered IO, can you reproduce it every time by
running copy just after fresh mount on the USB disk?

Yeah, it should be correct except for the change on __blk_mq_delay_run_hw_queue()
is duplicated.

The data won't be very big, each line covers 120KB, and ~10K line
is enough for cover 1GB transfer. Then ~300KB compressed file should
hold all the trace.

I would like to point out that 256MB is a filesize that usually don't
trigger the issue (don't know if it matters, sorry).

Another info I would provide is about another strange behavior I
noticed: yesterday I ran the test two times (as usual with 1GB
filesize) and took 2370s, 1786s, and a third test was going on when I
stopped it. Then I started another set of 100 trials and let them run
tonight, and the first 10 trials were around 1000s, then gradually
decreased to ~300s, and finally settled around 200s with some trials
below 70-80s. This to say, times are extremely variable and for the
first time I noticed a sort of "performance increase" with time.

ok, will try; is it just required to run it for a short period of time
(say, some seconds) during the copy, or should I run it before the
beginning (or before the mount?), and terminate it after the end of
the copy? (Please note that in the latter case a large amount of time
(and data, I suppose) would be involved, because, as said, to be sure
the problem triggers I have to use a large file... but we can try to
better understand and tune this. If it can help, you can get an ods
file with the complete statistic at [1] (look at the "prove_nov19"
sheet)).

I just run 256M cp test to one USB storage device on patched kernel,
and WRITE data IO is really in ascending order. The filesystem is ext4,
and mount without '-o sync'. From previous discussion, looks that is
exactly your test setting. The order can be observed via the following script:

#!/bin/sh
MAJ=$1
MIN=$2
MAJ=$(( $MAJ << 20 ))
DEV=$(( $MAJ | $MIN ))
/usr/share/bcc/tools/trace -t -C \
  't:block:block_rq_issue (args->dev == '$DEV') "%s %d %d", args->rwbs, args->sector, args->nr_sector'

$MAJ & $MIN can be retrieved via lsblk for your USB storage disk.

So I think we need to check if the patch is applied correctly first.

If your kernel tree is managed via git, please post 'git diff'.
Otherwise, share us your kernel version, and I will send you one
backported patch on the kernel version.

Meantime, you can collect IO order log via the above script as you did last
time, then send us the log.

Thanks,
Ming

1) cat /sys/kernel/debug/block/$DISK/hctx0/flags

note: replace $DISK with disk name of your usb drive, such as, if it is
/dev/sdb, pass $DISK as sdb.

2) echo 128 > /sys/block/$DISK/queue/nr_requests and run your copy 1GB
test again.

Done, it still fails (2000 seconds or more to copy 1GB) :-(

cat /sys/block/sdf/queue/scheduler outputs:
[mq-deadline] none

What to try next?

Please post the log of 'lsusb -v', and I will try to make a patch for
addressing the issue.

Using the new kernel, there is indeed a difference because the time to
copy a file is 1800 seconds with [mq-deadline], and 340 seconds with
[none]. But that is still far away from the old kernel, which performs
the copy of the same file in 76 seconds.

Side notes:

- The numbers above are average values calculated on 100 trials for
each  different situation. As previously noticed on this thread, with
the new kernel the times are also very different among the different
trials in the same situation. With the old kernel the standard
deviation on the times in a set of 100 trials is much smaller (to give
some mean/sigma values: m=1800->s=530; m=340->s=131; m=76->s=13; ).

- The size of the transferred file has been 1GB in these trials.
Smaller files don't always give appreciable differences, but if you
want I can also provide those data. Of course, I can also provide the
raw data of each set of trials.

Thanks,
and bye,

Andrea

ok sorry I misunderstood, assumed you wanted me to compare the "none"
setting in the old kernel with the same setting in the new kernel. Now
it's clear to me that you want me to compare the different scheduler
settings in the new kernel.

Not sure if cfq makes a difference, and I guess you may get same result
with noop or deadline. However, if you only see good write performance with
cfq, you may try 'bfq' and see if it works as cfq.

We are talking about new kernel in which there can't be 'noop deadline [cfq]'
any more. And you should see the following output from '/sys/block/sdf/queue/scheduler'
in the new kernel:

	[mq-deadline] kyber bfq none

Of course I would to it, but I see that with the "good" kernel the
output of "cat /sys/block/sdf/queue/scheduler" (yes, now it's sdf) is

noop deadline [cfq]

, i.e. it doesn't show "none". Does it matter? (sorry if it's a silly
question)

Thanks, and bye
Andrea

Sorry, the next message from Ming...

-----
You may get the IO pattern via the previous trace 
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-usb/20190710024439.GA2621@ming.t460p/

IMO, if it is related write order, one possibility could be that
the queue lock is killed in .make_request_fn().
-----

...made me wonder if I should really do the blkparse trace test, or
not. So please confirm if it's needed (testing is quite time-consuming 
, so I'd like to do it if it's needed).

Thanks, and bye,
Andrea

Another thing we could try is to use 'none' via the following command:

 echo none > /sys/block/sdh/queue/scheduler  #suppose 'sdh' points to the usb storage disk

Because USB storage HBA is single hw queue, which depth is 1. This way
should change to dispatch IO in the order of bio submission.

Andrea, could you switch io scheduler to none and update us if difference
can be made?

Thanks,
Ming

blktrace would indeed be super useful, especially if you can do that
with a kernel that's fast for you, and one with the current kernel
where it's slow.

Given that your device is sdh, you simply do:

# blktrace /dev/sdh

and then run the test, then ctrl-c the blktrace. Then do:

# blkparse sdh > output

and save that output file. Do both runs, and bzip2 them up. The shorter
the run you can reproduce with the better, to cut down on the size of
the traces.

Probably, yes. Have you obtained a blktrace of the workload during these
tests ? Any significant difference in the IO pattern (IO size and
randomness) and IO timing (any device idle time where the device has no
command to process) ? Asking because the problem may be above the block
layer, with the file system for instance.

with both kernels, the output of
cat /sys/block/sdh/queue/schedule

already contains [mq-deadline]: is it correct to assume that the echo
command and the subsequent testing is useless? What to do now?

ok, which kernel should I test with this: the fresh git cloned, or the
one just patched with Alan's patch, or doesn't matter which one?

Please simply try your write tests after doing this:

echo mq-deadline > /sys/block/<name of your USB disk>/queue/scheduler

And confirm that mq-deadline is selected with:

cat /sys/block/<name of your USB disk>/queue/scheduler
[mq-deadline] kyber bfq none

Not exactly, but that is far and away the most likely explanation for
the device's behavior.  We tried making a bunch of changes, some of
which helped a little bit, but all of them left a very large
performance gap.  I/O monitoring showed that the only noticeable
difference in the kernel-device interaction caused by the $SUBJECT
commit was the non-sequential access pattern.

> And writes in particular?

Andrea has tested only the write behavior.  Possibly reading will be
affected too, but my guess is that it won't be.

> I won't comment on how broken
> that is, just trying to establish this as the problem that's making this
> particular device be slow?

It seems reasonable that the access pattern could make a significant
difference.  The device's behavior suggests that it buffers incoming
data and pauses from time to time to write the accumulated data into
non-volatile storage.  If its algorithm for allocating, erasing, and
writing data blocks is optimized for the sequential case, you can
easily imagine that non-sequential accesses would cause it to pause
more often and for longer times -- which is exactly what we observed.
These extra pauses are what resulted in the overall performance 
decrease.

So far we have had no way to perform a direct test.  That is, we don't
know of any setting that would change a single kernel between
sequential and non-sequential access.  If you can suggest a simple way
to force a kernel without the $SUBJECT commit to do non-sequential
writes, I'm sure Andrea will be happy to try it out and see if it
causes a slowdown.

Please spell out the exact procedure in detail so that Andrea can try 
it.  He's not a kernel hacker, and I know very little about the block 
layer.

Do we know for a fact that the device needs strictly serialized requests
to not stall? And writes in particular? I won't comment on how broken
that is, just trying to establish this as the problem that's making this
particular device be slow?

I've lost track of this thread, but has mq-deadline been tried as the
IO scheduler? We do have support for strictly serialized (writes)
since that's required for zoned device, wouldn't be hard at all to make
this cover a blacklisted device like this one.

That's not going to be feasible.

I'm out of suggestions.  If anyone else knows how to make a kernel with 
no legacy queuing support -- only multiqueue -- issue I/O requests 
sequentially, please speak up.

In the absence of any responses, after a week or so I will submit a
patch to revert the f664a3cc17b7 ("scsi: kill off the legacy IO path")  
commit.

Ok, so the "patch" command worked, the kernel compiled and ran, but
the test still failed (273, 108, 104, 260, 177, 236, 179, 1123, 289,
873 seconds to copy a 500MB file, vs. ~30 seconds with the "good"
kernel).

Let me know what else could I do,

Thanks, and bye

You should be able to do something like this:

	cd linux
	patch -p1 </path/to/patch2

and that should work with no errors.  You don't need to use git to 
apply a patch.

In case that patch2 file was mangled somewhere along the way, I have 
attached a copy to this message.

A scheduler might be attached even for devices exposing more than
one hardware queue, so the check for the number of hardware queue
is pointless and should be removed.

Meanwhile, Alan tried to help me and gave me another patch (attached),
which doesn't work too, but gives a different error: "The git diff
header does not contain information about the file once removed 1
initial component of the path (row 14)" (actually, this is my
translation from the original message in Italian: "error:
l'intestazione git diff non riporta le informazioni sul file una volta
rimosso 1 componente iniziale del percorso (riga 14)")

I tested the two patches after a fresh git clone today, a few minutes
ago.

What can I do?

Thank you,
Bye

Sorry, but if I cd into the "linux" directory and run the command

# git apply -v patch2

the result is that the patch cannot be applied correctly:

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Controllo della patch block/blk-mq.c in corso...

	struct request *rq;?

error: patch non riuscita: block/blk-mq.c:1931

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The "linux" directory is the one generated by a fresh git clone:

git clone git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks, and bye

Don't use patch1, it's buggy. patch2 should be enough to test the theory.

I have attached the two patches to this email.  You should start with a 
recent kernel source tree and apply the patches by doing:

	git apply patch1 patch2

or something similar.  Then build a kernel from the new source code and 
test it.

Ultimately, if nobody can find a way to restore the sequential I/O 
behavior we had prior to commit f664a3cc17b7, that commit may have to 
be reverted.

When blk_mq_request_issue_directly() returns BLK_STS_RESOURCE we
need to requeue the I/O, but adding it to the global request list
will mess up with the passed-in request list. So re-add the request
to the original list and leave it to the caller to handle situations
where the list wasn't completely emptied.

A scheduler might be attached even for devices exposing more than

is pointless and should be removed.

It all depends on the drive.  Some are a lot better than others, and
it's almost impossible to tell until you buy the thing and try it out :(

Ok, so I think I'll buy some different hardware. Would an SSD drive
(connected over USB) behave like a flash drive or like an "actual disk
drive" from this point of view?

Many thanks, and bye

In general, USB flash drives should not be expected to work as well as 
an actual disk drive connected over USB.

Hannes posted an RFC series:

https://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-scsi/msg133848.html

Andrea can try it. But If the USB device is not multi-queue, this fix will
probably have no effect.

Andrea,

What is the device in question ? Is it a USB external HDD ? SSD ? Flash key ?

Is there any way for Andrea to check whether this is the underlying
cause?

No doubt Andrea will be happy to test your fix when it's ready.

Yeah, looks elevator is bypassed in the above case, which seems a bug.
USB storage has only single queue.

IMO, elevator shouldn't be bypassed any time, looks it is bypassed
in the following branch too, but may not be reached for zone device.

blk_mq_make_request()
 ...
 } else if (plug && !blk_queue_nomerges(q)) {
	...
	if (same_queue_rq) {
                        data.hctx = same_queue_rq->mq_hctx;
                        trace_block_unplug(q, 1, true);
                        blk_mq_try_issue_directly(data.hctx, same_queue_rq,
                                        &cookie);
                }
 }

For a multi-queue zoned disk, mq-deadline is also set, but we have observed
unaligned write IO errors for sync writes because of mq-deadline being bypassed
and as a result zones not being write-locked.

In blk_mq_make_request(), at the end, you have:

	} else if ((q->nr_hw_queues > 1 && is_sync) || (!q->elevator &&
			!data.hctx->dispatch_busy)) {
		blk_mq_try_issue_directly(data.hctx, rq, &cookie);
	} else {
		blk_mq_sched_insert_request(rq, false, true, true);
	}

Which I read as "for a sync req on a multi-queue device, direct issue",
regardless of the elevator being none or something else.

The correct test should probably be:

	} else if (!q->elevator &&
		   ((q->nr_hw_queues > 1 && is_sync) || 	
		     !data.hctx->dispatch_busy))) {
		blk_mq_try_issue_directly(data.hctx, rq, &cookie);
	} else {
		blk_mq_sched_insert_request(rq, false, true, true);
	}

That is, never bypass the elevator if one is set. Thoughts ?

Not sure this one is same with yours, for USB, mq-deadline is used at
default, and direct issue won't be possible. Direct issue is only used
in case of none or underlying queues of DM multipath.

The scheduling inefficiency you are seeing may be coming from the fact that the
block layer does a direct issue of requests, bypassing the elevator, under some
conditions. One of these is sync requests on a multiqueue device. We hit this
problem on Zoned disks which can easily return an error for write requests
without the elevator throttling writes per zones (zone write locking). This
problem was discovered by Hans (on CC).

I discussed this with Hannes yesterday and we think we have a fix, but we'll
need to do a lot of testing as all block devices are potentially impacted by the
change, including stacked drivers (DM). Performance regression is scary with any
change in that area (see blk_mq_make_request() and use of
blk_mq_try_issue_directly() vs blk_mq_sched_insert_request()).

Well, not so much, actually, because the backup would take twice the
time, that is quite annoying for me. But, apart from that, and from
the efforts of Alan and other people following this issue (thanks), I
would like to point out what I am not sure to have ever made clear
about my support request: I have understood that my problem is quite
specific, and don't want anyone to waste their time to help
specifically *me* (I can buy another media, use the "64" tweak, or
find any other workaround). But since we have identified the problem
as kernel-related, I am worried for other users, maybe new to linux,
that can have the same problem, and the evidence for them would be
that linux is extremely slow to copy file over some USB media. So,
among all the technical comments, I would like to make clear (if it's
not already clear) that in my opinion it would be important to solve
the problem without the need of user workarounds. Does it make sense?
Are we moving towards that goal?

BTW, another question: Alan refers to the slow media as a "consumer-
grade USB storage device". What could I do to identify and buy a "good
media"? Are there any features to look for?

Many thanks, and sorry if I ask anything obvious.
Bye,
Andrea

The improvement from using "64" with the bad kernel is quite large.  
That alone would be a big help for you.

However, I did see what appears to be a very significant difference 
between the bad and good kernel traces.  It has to do with the order in 
which the blocks are accessed.

Here is an extract from one of the bad traces.  I have erased all the 
information except for the columns containing the block numbers to be 
written:

00019628 00
00019667 00
00019628 80
00019667 80
00019629 00
00019668 00
00019629 80
00019668 80

Here is the equivalent portion from one of the good traces:

00019628 00
00019628 80
00019629 00
00019629 80
0001962a 00
0001962a 80
0001962b 00
0001962b 80

Notice that under the good kernel, the block numbers increase
monotonically in a single sequence.  But under the bad kernel, the
block numbers are not monotonic -- it looks like there are two separate
threads each with its own strictly increasing sequence.

This is exactly the sort of difference one might expect to see from
the commit f664a3cc17b7 ("scsi: kill off the legacy IO path") you
identified as the cause of the problem.  With multiqueue I/O, it's not 
surprising to see multiple sequences of block numbers.

Add it's not at all surprising that a consumer-grade USB storage device 
might do a much worse job of handling non-sequential writes than 
sequential ones.

Which leads to a simple question for the SCSI or block-layer 
maintainers:  Is there a sysfs setting Andrea can tweak which will 
effectively restrict a particular disk device down to a single I/O
queue, forcing sequential access?

ok, I performed 10 tests for each kernel, so we have 20 traces.

ok, so I duplicated the tests above for the "64" case (it was
initially set as "120", if it is relevant to know), leading to 40 tests named as

bad.mon.out_50000000_64_TIMESTAMP
bad.mon.out_50000000_non64_TIMESTAMP
good.mon.out_50000000_64_TIMESTAMP
good.mon.out_50000000_non64_TIMESTAMP

where "64" denotes the ones done with that value in max_sectors_kb,
and "not64" the ones without it (as far as I can tell, it has been
always "120").

So, we have 40 traces total. Each set of 10 trials is identified by
a text file, which contains the output log of the test script (and the
timestamps), also available in the download zipfile.

Just to summarize here the times, they are respectively (number
expressed  in seconds):

BAD:
  Logs: log_10trials_50MB_BAD_NonCanc_64.txt,
log_10trials_50MB_BAD_NonCanc_non64.txt
  64: 34, 34, 35, 39, 37, 32, 42, 44, 43, 40
  not64: 61, 71, 59, 71, 62, 75, 62, 70, 62, 68
GOOD:
  Logs: log_10trials_50MB_GOOD_NonCanc_64.txt,
log_10trials_50MB_GOOD_NonCanc_non64.txt
  64: 34, 32, 35, 34, 35, 33, 34, 33, 33, 33
  not64: 32, 30, 32, 31, 31, 30, 32, 30, 32, 31

Finally, one note about the workaround proposed by Alan, "delete the
file before copying". My original problem occurred while using a
backup software (dar - see http://dar.linux.free.fr/). So, I tried now
to do the backup by deleting the existing file beforehand, and it
still takes a lot of time with bad kernel: a 900 file backup takes
~160sec with GOOD kernel, and >40min with BAD kernel. I also tried the
"64" tweak in the BAD kernel and it becomes ~300s. Then, I also tried
the "64" case with good kernel, and became ~140s. Detailed data:

GOOD (not "64): 155s, 151s
GOOD ("64"): 142s, 141s

BAD (not "64"): 47minutes, 43minutes
BAD ("64"): 315s, 288s, 268s, 239s, 302s

The command ran is:
$ SECONDS=0; rm /run/media/andrea/BAK_ANDVAI/aero.1.dar && dar -c /run/media/andrea/BAK_ANDVAI/aero -R /home/andrea/Musica/MP3/Aerosmith && umount /run/media/andrea/BAK_ANDVAI; echo "Ci ho messo: $SECONDS secondi."

Speculations:
- It seems the "64" value plays a role, more evident on "bad" kernels
(~halves the time) and less (but still existing?) on "good" kernels;
- dar with the bad kernel, with the "delete beforehand" action, is
still an order of magnitude slower than with the good kernel (so, it
behaves the same way as in the "overwrite" case). Maybe it depends on
the way dar itself writes data... I don't know if you can understand
it, or we should ask for a light to the dar developer(s) about it.

In fact, even the traces where the file doesn't exist beforehand show 
some delays.  Just not as many delays as the traces where the file does 
exist.  And again, each delay is in the middle of a write command, not 
between commands.

I suppose changes to the upper software layers could affect which
blocks are assigned when a new file is written.  Perhaps one kernel
re-uses the same old blocks that had been previously occupied and the
other kernel allocates a completely new set of blocks.  That might
change the drive's behavior.  The quick way to tell is to record two
usbmon traces, one under the "good" kernel and one under the "bad"  
kernel, where each test involves writing over a file that already
exists (say, 50 MB) -- the same file for both tests.  The block numbers
will appear in the traces.

Also, I wonder if the changing the size of the data transfers would
make any difference.  This is easy to try; just write "64" to
/sys/block/sd?/queue/max_sectors_kb (where the ? is the appropriate
drive letter) after the drive is plugged in but before the test starts.

ok, so you can grab them at

http://fisica.unipv.it/transfer/usbmon_logs.zip

(they will be automatically removed from there in a couple of weeks).

For each size there is a .txt file (which contains the terminal
output) and 10 bad.mon.out_.... trace files. The file suffix "NonCanc"
means there has not been file deletion before copy; while "Canc" means
the opposite.

Each trace file name is identified by a timestamp that is also
referenced inside the txt, so if you want to get i.e. the 39-sec trial
for the 10MB filesize you have to open the ...10MB....txt, search for
the 39 seconds total time string ("Dopo stop trace: 39"), look at the
beginning of that trial, a dozen rows before, take note of the
timestamp, and open the corresponding bad.mon.out file (of course, if
there are more trials with the same time, you have to identify it by
counting its position (7th in the example above)).

To make it more simple:

$ seconds=39; size=10MB; grep -B14 "Dopo stop trace: $seconds" log_10trials_"$size"_NonCanc.txt

should show you more straightly the part(s) you need.

Thank you, didn't realize that :-) I will try it.

Wow, that sounds like a lot of work.

Let's start with the 39-second run for the 10-MB file.  If you can put 
the trace files on a server somewhere, available for downloading, that 
would avoid sending a lot of uninteresting data to the mailing list.

Odd that the delays never occur when you're writing a new file.  (If
nothing else, that gives you a way to work around the problem!)  It's
hard to say what it means, though.  Maybe the flash drive doesn't like 
overwriting used blocks.

Thanks, I went some steps further on this.
The following considerations all apply to the "bad" kernel.

Increasing the filesize lead me to find out that using a file sized
less than roughly 10MB the problem does not happen.

I found these results by making sets of 10 tries for each filesize,
using a filesize of 1kB, 10kB, 100kB, 1MB, 10MB, 100MB, 500MB (so, we
have 70 usbmon logs on these). If we define "fast" a copy that takes
(roughly(*)) no more time to complete than all the other tries in its
set, and "slow" elsewhere (=one or more tries in its set are
(sensibly(*)) faster), I noticed that in each set with a filesize of
10MB or more the behavior can be very different: sometimes the copy is
still "fast", sometimes is "slow". The frequency of the "slow" copies
increases with the filesize. Also, among the "slow" copies in a set,
the time can be very different.

Also, I found that if the file is not present on the target location
(i.e. the USB pendrive), the problem does not happen (I have ten
usbmon logs here, taken in the worst scenario (500MB filesize)).

Tell me which log(s) would you like me to send you: I can sum up here
all the sets of tries, and the time their copies took to complete (in
seconds):

1kB: 26, 27, 26, 26, 27, 26, 26, 27, 26, 27
10kB: 27, 27, 26, 26, 27, 26, 27, 26, 27, 27
100kB: 26, 26, 26, 27, 26, 26, 26, 27, 27, 27
1MB: 26, 27, 27, 27, 27, 27, 27, 27, 27, 26
10MB: 27, 31, 37, 27, 38, 27, 39, 27, 30, 28
100MB: 32, 32, 144, 32, 145, 32, 123, 32, 153, 123
500MB: 56, 1396, 747, 131, 795, 764, 292, 1021, 807, 516

Also, note that the first copy is always "fast", because each file was
initially not present on the pendrive. As said, I did one test of 10
tries by deleting the file on the pendrive before copying it again,
and the results are

500MB: 56, 56, 57, 57, 56, 56, 60, 25***, 55, 56 (***Note the "fake"
25s, doesn't matter because I forgot to plug the pendrive :-/ )

I have made a script to semi-automate all the tests I have done. I
attach the script here, so anyone interested could check it for any
mistake (remember I am not very skilled so I may have wrote buggy
code, done wrong assumptions, etc.). Please note that I decreased the
time between the trace start and the drive plugging from 10s to 5s
(simply to reduce the time needed to me to look at the countdown). Of
course I can do again the test(s) you need with a bigger amount of
$wait.

The script has been run with the command

# for k in {1..10}; do size=1000; ./test_usbmon $size && ping -a -c 5 8.8.8.8 ; done
(example for 1kB filesize)

or, in the set of "delete before copy",

# for k in {1..10}; do size=500000000; ./cancellaTestFile $size && ./test_usbmon $size && ping -a -c 5 8.8.8.8 ; done

The ping command is there just to have a sound alarm when finished.

I also attach the script to delete the file ("cancellaTestFile").

I took care to plug the pendrive exactly at the end of the countdown,
to keep the times in the logs more simple to detect and manage by you.

I have also logged all the terminal output log of the script.

Last note: I ran all the tests without any other USB device connected
but the pendrive (well, actually there is a card reader connected to
the internal USB connector, but on another bus. I didn't want to open
the case and disconnect it but of course I can do it if needed).
Thanks for pointing it out.

Thanks, and bye
Andrea

(*) as an example, on a set that shows the total elapsed time in
seconds being

26, 27, 27, 27, 27, 27, 27, 27, 27, 26

I have assumed all of the copies to be "fast", while in the set

32, 32, 144, 32, 145, 32, 123, 32, 153, 123

I have assumed 5 of the copies as "fast" (the ones that took 32
seconds) and the other "slow". Not going to deepen in some standard
deviation evaluation, etc., but if you'd like to I can provide some
more scientific detailed data :-)

Still no noticeable differences between the two traces.  They both 
include a 1.2 second delay shortly after the writing starts, and the 
initialization sequences are the same.

I really don't know where to look for this.  The only thing I can think
of at this point is to repeat this test, but using a file large enough
for the difference in writing speed to show up plainly.

By the way, it would be best to run the tests with the smallest
possible number of other USB devices plugged in.  None at all, if you
can arrange it.

5 of 165 IO requests(1 4096 READ and 4 120K WRITE) take more than 500ms, and
most of others only needs <10ms. That is the reason why the performance
drops, and it is highly related with your USB pen drive.

biosnoop collects the trace data in blk_mq_start_request() and
blk_account_io_completion(), both happens during dispatching request to
LLD & device.

From my understanding, scsi-mq should only change the timing, or maybe
some setting is changed(still very unlikely), you may follow Alan's suggestion
to collect usbmon on 'bad' & 'good' kernel, and check if the setting is
changed.

If the initialization setting is same, maybe you can try US_FL_GO_SLOW
quirk.

Thanks,
Ming

I don't know what the results mean, but I _can_ tell you what's
happening.  Every so often (at intervals of about a second) the pen
drive completely stops communicating with the "bad" kernel for about
one second and then starts up again.

Here's a short example from the "bad" trace:

ffff9169f0d399c0 513072808 S Bo:6:008:2 -115 122880 = 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000
ffff9169f0d399c0 514262176 C Bo:6:008:2 0 122880 >

The second column is a timestamp (in microseconds).  This little
extract shows a 120-KB write starting at time 513.072 and ending at
514.262, more than a second later.  Normally such a write would
complete in about 0.06 s.

The cumulative effect of all these delays is to slow the transfer 
drastically.  The "good" kernel trace shows a few delays like this, but 
only one or two.

I have no idea how commit f664a3cc17b7, getting rid of the legacy IO 
path, could have caused these delays.  It seems more likely that the 
pen drive itself is the cause, perhaps because it is flushing buffers 
more often under the "bad" kernel.

I'd like you to try doing another pair of usbmon tests.  This time,
start collecting the usbmon trace _before_ you plug in the pen drive,
and stop the trace shortly after the pen drive has been mounted.  
Don't try to transfer any data.  Perhaps the two kernels are
initializing the pen drive with different settings and that accounts
for the different behaviors.

1) run the bcc biosnoop trace in one terminal after mounting the fs on the USB dirve

2) start the write test in another teminal

3) wait for 10 seconds, and stop the bcc trace via ctrl^ + C, then post the bcc biosnoop
trace log

Thanks Alan,
  so I attach two ouputs, one for a "good" and one for a "bad" kernel.

Both killed after roughly 20 seconds, using the command

cat /sys/kernel/debug/usb/usbmon/6u > file

(my pendrive turns out to be attached to bus #6)

Hope it helps.

Thanks,
Andrea

The command runs forever (or at least for hours) without giving any output through "|grep sdf". The device is connected, but not mounted. Maybe I should run the command with the device mounted? Or while performing the test?
The command itself seems to work, as /usr/share/bcc/tools/biosnoop | tee -a biosnoop.txt produces an output file sized about some MB in some hours. 

What should I do?

Thanks,
Andrea

I get
/sys/block/sdb/queue/rotational:1
for all USB flash drives on all computers with every kernel since
forever, including 5.2rc7. Lexar, Samsung, Kingston.

Andrea, another thing you could try is to collect a usbmon trace under 
one of the "slow" kernels.  Follow the instructions in 
Documentation/usb/usbmon.txt.  I think you could kill the file-copy 
operation after just a couple of seconds; that should provide enough 
trace information to help see what causes the slowdown.

(If you want, do the same test with a "fast" kernel and then we'll 
compare the results.)

One thing you can try as well is building a kernel with CONFIG_IOSCHED_BFQ and
use it. Deadline is probably not the best choice for a slow drive.

The above is basically same with my USB drive's queue setting, and looks
all are fine.

BTW, 'rotational' shouldn't be set for USB drive, except for USB HDD,
but that shouldn't be related with your issue.

Then could you install bcc package and collect the IO trace?

	sudo /usr/share/bcc/tools/biosnoop | grep sdN

sdN is your USB disk device name.

Thanks,
Ming

You don't need to build kernel.

I just run same write test on one slow usb drive in my laptop, which
runs '5.1.11-200.fc29.x86_64', and can't reproduce your issue, maybe it
depends on your drive.

Could you collect the queue limits sysfs log via the following command?

	find /sys/block/sdN/queue -type f -exec grep -aH . {} \;

Thanks,
Ming

I applied it (echo 32 > /sys/block/sdf/queue/nr_requests), ran the test again, and still failed. I assumed I didn't have to build the kernel again, did I? (sorry but I am not skilled)

Many thanks,
Andrea

One possible reason may be related with too small 'nr_requests', could
you apply the following command and see if any difference can be made?

echo 32 > /sys/block/sdN/queue/nr_requests


Thanks,

Hi,

Can you please check what IO scheduler you have set for your USB pendrive?

i.e. with:
cat /sys/block/$DISK/queue/scheduler

Thanks,
	Johannes

Hi,
  I have a problem writing data to a USB pendrive, and it seems
kernel-related. With the help of Greg an Alan (thanks) and some
bisect, I found out the offending commit being

commit f664a3cc17b7d0a2bc3b3ab96181e1029b0ec0e6
Author: Jens Axboe <axboe@kernel.dk>
Date:   Thu Nov 1 16:36:27 2018 -0600

    scsi: kill off the legacy IO path
    
    This removes the legacy (non-mq) IO path for SCSI.
    
So, here I am to notify you about the problem and ask you if I can
help in any way to work it out and fix it.

The problem is that if I copy a file from the internal SATA HD to the
pendrive, it takes ~10 times to complete (in respect of the time
needed with the patch reverted).

The test script, which I use to detect if the problem triggers or not,
is:

#!/bin/bash
logfile=...
uname -a | tee -a $logfile
echo -n "Begin: " | tee -a $logfile
date | tee -a $logfile
touch inizio
SECONDS=0
mount UUID="05141239-4ea5-494d-aa91-acd67db89ce5" /mnt/pendrive
cp /NoBackup/buttare/testfile /mnt/pendrive
umount /mnt/pendrive
tempo=$SECONDS
touch fine
echo -n "...end: " | tee -a $logfile
date | tee -a $logfile
echo "It took $tempo seconds!" | tee -a $logfile

If I run the test with a 512MB file it takes >10min vs. half a minute.

The problem is still present in last tested git (cloned today in the
morning).

You can see the previous discussion that lead to these results at

Thanks, and bye
Andrea
