[PATCHSET v2] cgroup, writeback, btrfs: make sure btrfs issues metadata IOs from the root cgroup

[Tejun Heo]

Hello,

Changes from the last version are

* blkcg_root_css exported to fix build breakage on modular btrfs.

* Use ext4_should_journal_data() test instead of
  EXT4_MOUNT_JOURNAL_DATA.

* Separated out create_bh_bio() and used it to implement
  submit_bh_blkcg_css() as suggested by Jan.

btrfs has different ways to issue metadata IOs and may end up issuing
metadata or otherwise shared IOs from a non-root cgroup, which can
lead to priority inversion and ineffective IO isolation.

This patchset makes sure that btrfs issues all metadata and shared IOs
from the root cgroup by exempting btree_inodes from cgroup writeback
and explicitly associating shared IOs with the root cgroup.

This patchset containst he following three patches

 [PATCH 1/5] blkcg: export blkcg_root_css
 [PATCH 2/5] cgroup, writeback: replace SB_I_CGROUPWB with per-inode
 [PATCH 3/5] buffer_head: separate out create_bh_bio() from
 [PATCH 4/5] cgroup, buffer_head: implement submit_bh_blkcg_css()
 [PATCH 5/5] btrfs: ensure that metadata and flush are issued from the

and is also available in the following git branch

 git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/cgroup.git review-cgroup-btrfs-metadata-v2

diffstat follows.  Thanks.

[PATCH 2/5] cgroup, writeback: replace SB_I_CGROUPWB with per-inode S_CGROUPWB

[Tejun Heo]

Currently, filesystem can indiate cgroup writeback support per
superblock; however, depending on the filesystem, especially if inodes
are used to carry metadata, it can be useful to indicate cgroup
writeback support per inode.

This patch replaces the superblock flag SB_I_CGROUPWB with per-inode
S_CGROUPWB, so that cgroup writeback can be enabled selectively.

* block_dev sets the new flag in bdget() when initializing new inode.

* ext2 sets the new flag in ext2_set_inode_flags().

* ext4 sets the new flag in ext4_set_inode_flags() if
!ext4_should_journal_data(inode).  This makes inodes whose data is
journalled due to inode flags to bypass cgroup writeback.  This
behavior change is intended.

* btrfs sets the new flag in btrfs_update_iflags() function.  Note
  that this automatically excludes btree_inode which doesn't use
  btrfs_update_iflags() during initialization.  This behavior change
  is intended.

v2: Use ext4_should_journal_data() as suggested by Jan.

[PATCH 3/5] buffer_head: separate out create_bh_bio() from submit_bh_wbc()

[Tejun Heo]

submit_bh_wbc() creates a bio matching the specific @bh and submits it
at the end.  This patch separates out the bio creation part to its own
function, create_bh_bio(), and reimplement submit_bh[_wbc]() using the
function.

As bio can now be manipulated before submitted, we can move out @wbc
handling into submit_bh_wbc() and similarly this will make adding more
submit_bh variants straight-forward.

This patch is pure refactoring and doesn't cause any functional
changes.

[PATCH 5/5] btrfs: ensure that metadata and flush are issued from the root cgroup

[Tejun Heo]

Issuing metdata or otherwise shared IOs from !root cgroup can lead to
priority inversion.  This patch ensures that those IOs are always
issued from the root cgroup.

This patch updates btrfs_update_iflags() to not set S_CGROUPWB on
btree_inodes.  This isn't strictly necessary as those inodes don't
call the function during init; however, this serves as documentation
and prevents possible future mistakes.  If this isn't desirable,
please feel free to drop the section.

The 'btree_inode' is only one, with inode number 1, and represents all
the metadata, so I don't understand what it means in plural.

The comment is useful, but the condition will be always true, so I don't
see the point.

	/*
	 * The btree_inode will be always in the root cgroup. The cgroup
	 * writeback can be enabled on regular inodes selectively.
	 */
	new_fl |= S_CGROUPWB;

is IMHO enough, based on my reading of patch 2/5 changelog.

[PATCH v3 5/5] btrfs: ensure that metadata and flush are issued from the root cgroup

[Tejun Heo]

Issuing metdata or otherwise shared IOs from !root cgroup can lead to
priority inversion.  This patch ensures that those IOs are always
issued from the root cgroup.

v3: Dropped unnecessary btree_inode handling as suggested by David
    Sterba.

v2: Fixed missing @bh in submit_bh_blkcg_css() call.

Hi Tejun,

What has happened with this patch set?

No idea.  cc'ing Chris directly.  Chris, if the patchset looks good,
can you please route them through the btrfs tree?

Thanks.

lol looking at the patchset again, I'm not sure that's obviously the
right tree.  It can either be cgroup, block or btrfs.  If no one
objects, I'll just route them through cgroup.

Thanks.

We'll have to coordinate a bit during the next merge window but I don't 
have a problem with these going in through cgroup.  Dave does this sound 
good to you?

I'd like to include my patch to do all crcs inline (instead of handing 
off to helper threads) when io controls are in place.  By the merge 
window we should have some good data on how much it's all helping.

There are only minor changes to btrfs code so cgroup tree would be
better.

Are there any problems in sight if the inline crc and cgroup chnanges go
separately? I assume there's a runtime dependency, not a code
dependency, so it could be sorted by the right merge order.

The feature is just more useful with the inline crcs.  Without them we 
end up with kworkers doing both high and low prio submissions and it all 
boils down to the speed of the lowest priority.

Also I was wondering about another thing: How does this play with Josef's
series for metadata writeback (Metadata specific accouting and dirty
writeout)? Would the per-inode selection of cgroup writeback still be
needed when Josef's series is applied since metadata writeback then won't
be associated with any particular mapping anymore?
