include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h
percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
included when building most .c files. percpu.h includes slab.h which
in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.
percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed. Prepare for
this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
headers directly instead of assuming availability. As this conversion
needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
used as the basis of conversion.
http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py
The script does the followings.
* Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
only the necessary includes are there. ie. if only gfp is used,
gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.
* When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
to its surrounding. It's put in the include block which contains
core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
doesn't seem to be any matching order.
* If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
file.
The conversion was done in the following steps.
1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
and ~3000 slab.h inclusions. The script emitted errors for ~400
files.
2. Each error was manually checked. Some didn't need the inclusion,
some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
embedding .c file was more appropriate for others. This step added
inclusions to around 150 files.
3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.
4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.
5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell. Most gfp.h
inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros. Each
slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
necessary.
6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.
7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
were fixed. CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).
* x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
* powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
* sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
* ia64 SMP allmodconfig
* s390 SMP allmodconfig
* alpha SMP allmodconfig
* um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig
8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
a separate patch and serve as bisection point.
Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
the specific arch.

RAID1: a new I/O barrier implementation to remove resync window
'Commit 79ef3a8aa1cb ("raid1: Rewrite the implementation of iobarrier.")'
introduces a sliding resync window for raid1 I/O barrier, this idea limits
I/O barriers to happen only inside a slidingresync window, for regular
I/Os out of this resync window they don't need to wait for barrier any
more. On large raid1 device, it helps a lot to improve parallel writing
I/O throughput when there are background resync I/Os performing at
same time.
The idea of sliding resync widow is awesome, but code complexity is a
challenge. Sliding resync window requires several variables to work
collectively, this is complexed and very hard to make it work correctly.
Just grep "Fixes: 79ef3a8aa1" in kernel git log, there are 8 more patches
to fix the original resync window patch. This is not the end, any further
related modification may easily introduce more regreassion.
Therefore I decide to implement a much simpler raid1 I/O barrier, by
removing resync window code, I believe life will be much easier.
The brief idea of the simpler barrier is,
- Do not maintain a global unique resync window
- Use multiple hash buckets to reduce I/O barrier conflicts, regular
I/O only has to wait for a resync I/O when both them have same barrier
bucket index, vice versa.
- I/O barrier can be reduced to an acceptable number if there are enough
barrier buckets
Here I explain how the barrier buckets are designed,
- BARRIER_UNIT_SECTOR_SIZE
The whole LBA address space of a raid1 device is divided into multiple
barrier units, by the size of BARRIER_UNIT_SECTOR_SIZE.
Bio requests won't go across border of barrier unit size, that means
maximum bio size is BARRIER_UNIT_SECTOR_SIZE<<9 (64MB) in bytes.
For random I/O 64MB is large enough for both read and write requests,
for sequential I/O considering underlying block layer may merge them
into larger requests, 64MB is still good enough.
Neil also points out that for resync operation, "we want the resync to
move from region to region fairly quickly so that the slowness caused
by having to synchronize with the resync is averaged out over a fairly
small time frame". For full speed resync, 64MB should take less then 1
second. When resync is competing with other I/O, it could take up a few
minutes. Therefore 64MB size is fairly good range for resync.
- BARRIER_BUCKETS_NR
There are BARRIER_BUCKETS_NR buckets in total, which is defined by,
#define BARRIER_BUCKETS_NR_BITS (PAGE_SHIFT - 2)
#define BARRIER_BUCKETS_NR (1<<BARRIER_BUCKETS_NR_BITS)
this patch makes the bellowed members of struct r1conf from integer
to array of integers,
- int nr_pending;
- int nr_waiting;
- int nr_queued;
- int barrier;
+ int *nr_pending;
+ int *nr_waiting;
+ int *nr_queued;
+ int *barrier;
number of the array elements is defined as BARRIER_BUCKETS_NR. For 4KB
kernel space page size, (PAGE_SHIFT - 2) indecates there are 1024 I/O
barrier buckets, and each array of integers occupies single memory page.
1024 means for a request which is smaller than the I/O barrier unit size
has ~0.1% chance to wait for resync to pause, which is quite a small
enough fraction. Also requesting single memory page is more friendly to
kernel page allocator than larger memory size.
- I/O barrier bucket is indexed by bio start sector
If multiple I/O requests hit different I/O barrier units, they only need
to compete I/O barrier with other I/Os which hit the same I/O barrier
bucket index with each other. The index of a barrier bucket which a
bio should look for is calculated by sector_to_idx() which is defined
in raid1.h as an inline function,
static inline int sector_to_idx(sector_t sector)
{
return hash_long(sector >> BARRIER_UNIT_SECTOR_BITS,
BARRIER_BUCKETS_NR_BITS);
}
Here sector_nr is the start sector number of a bio.
- Single bio won't go across boundary of a I/O barrier unit
If a request goes across boundary of barrier unit, it will be split. A
bio may be split in raid1_make_request() or raid1_sync_request(), if
sectors returned by align_to_barrier_unit_end() is smaller than
original bio size.
Comparing to single sliding resync window,
- Currently resync I/O grows linearly, therefore regular and resync I/O
will conflict within a single barrier units. So the I/O behavior is
similar to single sliding resync window.
- But a barrier unit bucket is shared by all barrier units with identical
barrier uinit index, the probability of conflict might be higher
than single sliding resync window, in condition that writing I/Os
always hit barrier units which have identical barrier bucket indexs with
the resync I/Os. This is a very rare condition in real I/O work loads,
I cannot imagine how it could happen in practice.
- Therefore we can achieve a good enough low conflict rate with much
simpler barrier algorithm and implementation.
There are two changes should be noticed,
- In raid1d(), I change the code to decrease conf->nr_pending[idx] into
single loop, it looks like this,
spin_lock_irqsave(&conf->device_lock, flags);
conf->nr_queued[idx]--;
spin_unlock_irqrestore(&conf->device_lock, flags);
This change generates more spin lock operations, but in next patch of
this patch set, it will be replaced by a single line code,
atomic_dec(&conf->nr_queueud[idx]);
So we don't need to worry about spin lock cost here.
- Mainline raid1 code split original raid1_make_request() into
raid1_read_request() and raid1_write_request(). If the original bio
goes across an I/O barrier unit size, this bio will be split before
calling raid1_read_request() or raid1_write_request(), this change
the code logic more simple and clear.
- In this patch wait_barrier() is moved from raid1_make_request() to
raid1_write_request(). In raid_read_request(), original wait_barrier()
is replaced by raid1_read_request().
The differnece is wait_read_barrier() only waits if array is frozen,
using different barrier function in different code path makes the code
more clean and easy to read.
Changelog
V4:
- Add alloc_r1bio() to remove redundant r1bio memory allocation code.
- Fix many typos in patch comments.
- Use (PAGE_SHIFT - ilog2(sizeof(int))) to define BARRIER_BUCKETS_NR_BITS.
V3:
- Rebase the patch against latest upstream kernel code.
- Many fixes by review comments from Neil,
- Back to use pointers to replace arraries in struct r1conf
- Remove total_barriers from struct r1conf
- Add more patch comments to explain how/why the values of
BARRIER_UNIT_SECTOR_SIZE and BARRIER_BUCKETS_NR are decided.
- Use get_unqueued_pending() to replace get_all_pendings() and
get_all_queued()
- Increase bucket number from 512 to 1024
- Change code comments format by review from Shaohua.
V2:
- Use bio_split() to split the orignal bio if it goes across barrier unit
bounday, to make the code more simple, by suggestion from Shaohua and
Neil.
- Use hash_long() to replace original linear hash, to avoid a possible
confilict between resync I/O and sequential write I/O, by suggestion from
Shaohua.
- Add conf->total_barriers to record barrier depth, which is used to
control number of parallel sync I/O barriers, by suggestion from Shaohua.
- In V1 patch the bellowed barrier buckets related members in r1conf are
allocated in memory page. To make the code more simple, V2 patch moves
the memory space into struct r1conf, like this,
- int nr_pending;
- int nr_waiting;
- int nr_queued;
- int barrier;
+ int nr_pending[BARRIER_BUCKETS_NR];
+ int nr_waiting[BARRIER_BUCKETS_NR];
+ int nr_queued[BARRIER_BUCKETS_NR];
+ int barrier[BARRIER_BUCKETS_NR];
This change is by the suggestion from Shaohua.
- Remove some inrelavent code comments, by suggestion from Guoqing.
- Add a missing wait_barrier() before jumping to retry_write, in
raid1_make_write_request().
V1:
- Original RFC patch for comments

md/raid1: serialize overlap io for writemostly disk
Previously, using wait_event() would wake up all waiters simultaneously,
and they would compete for the tree lock. The bio which gets the lock
first will be handled, so the write sequence cannot be guaranteed.
For example:
bio1(100,200)
bio2(150,200)
bio3(150,300)
The write sequence of fast device is bio1,bio2,bio3. But the write sequence
of slow device could be bio1,bio3,bio2 due to lock competition. This causes
data corruption.
Replace waitqueue with a fifo list to guarantee the write sequence. And it
also needs to iterate the list when removing one entry. If not, it may miss
the opportunity to wake up the waiting io.
For example:
bio1(1,3), bio2(2,4)
bio3(5,7), bio4(6,8)
These four bios are in the same bucket. bio1 and bio3 are inserted into
the rbtree. bio2 and bio4 are added to the waiting list and bio2 is the
first one. bio3 returns from slow disk and tries to wake up the waiting
bios. bio2 is removed from the list and will be handled. But bio1 hasn't
finished. So bio2 will be added into waiting list again. Then bio1 returns
from slow disk and wakes up waiting bios. bio4 is removed from the list
and will be handled. Now bio1, bio3 and bio4 all finish and bio2 is left
on the waiting list. So it needs to iterate the waiting list to wake up
the right bio.

md/raid1: serialize overlap io for writemostly disk
Previously, using wait_event() would wake up all waiters simultaneously,
and they would compete for the tree lock. The bio which gets the lock
first will be handled, so the write sequence cannot be guaranteed.
For example:
bio1(100,200)
bio2(150,200)
bio3(150,300)
The write sequence of fast device is bio1,bio2,bio3. But the write sequence
of slow device could be bio1,bio3,bio2 due to lock competition. This causes
data corruption.
Replace waitqueue with a fifo list to guarantee the write sequence. And it
also needs to iterate the list when removing one entry. If not, it may miss
the opportunity to wake up the waiting io.
For example:
bio1(1,3), bio2(2,4)
bio3(5,7), bio4(6,8)
These four bios are in the same bucket. bio1 and bio3 are inserted into
the rbtree. bio2 and bio4 are added to the waiting list and bio2 is the
first one. bio3 returns from slow disk and tries to wake up the waiting
bios. bio2 is removed from the list and will be handled. But bio1 hasn't
finished. So bio2 will be added into waiting list again. Then bio1 returns
from slow disk and wakes up waiting bios. bio4 is removed from the list
and will be handled. Now bio1, bio3 and bio4 all finish and bio2 is left
on the waiting list. So it needs to iterate the waiting list to wake up
the right bio.

treewide: Replace kmalloc with kmalloc_obj for non-scalar types
This is the result of running the Coccinelle script from
scripts/coccinelle/api/kmalloc_objs.cocci. The script is designed to
avoid scalar types (which need careful case-by-case checking), and
instead replace kmalloc-family calls that allocate struct or union
object instances:
Single allocations: kmalloc(sizeof(TYPE), ...)
are replaced with: kmalloc_obj(TYPE, ...)
Array allocations: kmalloc_array(COUNT, sizeof(TYPE), ...)
are replaced with: kmalloc_objs(TYPE, COUNT, ...)
Flex array allocations: kmalloc(struct_size(PTR, FAM, COUNT), ...)
are replaced with: kmalloc_flex(*PTR, FAM, COUNT, ...)
(where TYPE may also be *VAR)
The resulting allocations no longer return "void *", instead returning
"TYPE *".

RAID1: a new I/O barrier implementation to remove resync window
'Commit 79ef3a8aa1cb ("raid1: Rewrite the implementation of iobarrier.")'
introduces a sliding resync window for raid1 I/O barrier, this idea limits
I/O barriers to happen only inside a slidingresync window, for regular
I/Os out of this resync window they don't need to wait for barrier any
more. On large raid1 device, it helps a lot to improve parallel writing
I/O throughput when there are background resync I/Os performing at
same time.
The idea of sliding resync widow is awesome, but code complexity is a
challenge. Sliding resync window requires several variables to work
collectively, this is complexed and very hard to make it work correctly.
Just grep "Fixes: 79ef3a8aa1" in kernel git log, there are 8 more patches
to fix the original resync window patch. This is not the end, any further
related modification may easily introduce more regreassion.
Therefore I decide to implement a much simpler raid1 I/O barrier, by
removing resync window code, I believe life will be much easier.
The brief idea of the simpler barrier is,
- Do not maintain a global unique resync window
- Use multiple hash buckets to reduce I/O barrier conflicts, regular
I/O only has to wait for a resync I/O when both them have same barrier
bucket index, vice versa.
- I/O barrier can be reduced to an acceptable number if there are enough
barrier buckets
Here I explain how the barrier buckets are designed,
- BARRIER_UNIT_SECTOR_SIZE
The whole LBA address space of a raid1 device is divided into multiple
barrier units, by the size of BARRIER_UNIT_SECTOR_SIZE.
Bio requests won't go across border of barrier unit size, that means
maximum bio size is BARRIER_UNIT_SECTOR_SIZE<<9 (64MB) in bytes.
For random I/O 64MB is large enough for both read and write requests,
for sequential I/O considering underlying block layer may merge them
into larger requests, 64MB is still good enough.
Neil also points out that for resync operation, "we want the resync to
move from region to region fairly quickly so that the slowness caused
by having to synchronize with the resync is averaged out over a fairly
small time frame". For full speed resync, 64MB should take less then 1
second. When resync is competing with other I/O, it could take up a few
minutes. Therefore 64MB size is fairly good range for resync.
- BARRIER_BUCKETS_NR
There are BARRIER_BUCKETS_NR buckets in total, which is defined by,
#define BARRIER_BUCKETS_NR_BITS (PAGE_SHIFT - 2)
#define BARRIER_BUCKETS_NR (1<<BARRIER_BUCKETS_NR_BITS)
this patch makes the bellowed members of struct r1conf from integer
to array of integers,
- int nr_pending;
- int nr_waiting;
- int nr_queued;
- int barrier;
+ int *nr_pending;
+ int *nr_waiting;
+ int *nr_queued;
+ int *barrier;
number of the array elements is defined as BARRIER_BUCKETS_NR. For 4KB
kernel space page size, (PAGE_SHIFT - 2) indecates there are 1024 I/O
barrier buckets, and each array of integers occupies single memory page.
1024 means for a request which is smaller than the I/O barrier unit size
has ~0.1% chance to wait for resync to pause, which is quite a small
enough fraction. Also requesting single memory page is more friendly to
kernel page allocator than larger memory size.
- I/O barrier bucket is indexed by bio start sector
If multiple I/O requests hit different I/O barrier units, they only need
to compete I/O barrier with other I/Os which hit the same I/O barrier
bucket index with each other. The index of a barrier bucket which a
bio should look for is calculated by sector_to_idx() which is defined
in raid1.h as an inline function,
static inline int sector_to_idx(sector_t sector)
{
return hash_long(sector >> BARRIER_UNIT_SECTOR_BITS,
BARRIER_BUCKETS_NR_BITS);
}
Here sector_nr is the start sector number of a bio.
- Single bio won't go across boundary of a I/O barrier unit
If a request goes across boundary of barrier unit, it will be split. A
bio may be split in raid1_make_request() or raid1_sync_request(), if
sectors returned by align_to_barrier_unit_end() is smaller than
original bio size.
Comparing to single sliding resync window,
- Currently resync I/O grows linearly, therefore regular and resync I/O
will conflict within a single barrier units. So the I/O behavior is
similar to single sliding resync window.
- But a barrier unit bucket is shared by all barrier units with identical
barrier uinit index, the probability of conflict might be higher
than single sliding resync window, in condition that writing I/Os
always hit barrier units which have identical barrier bucket indexs with
the resync I/Os. This is a very rare condition in real I/O work loads,
I cannot imagine how it could happen in practice.
- Therefore we can achieve a good enough low conflict rate with much
simpler barrier algorithm and implementation.
There are two changes should be noticed,
- In raid1d(), I change the code to decrease conf->nr_pending[idx] into
single loop, it looks like this,
spin_lock_irqsave(&conf->device_lock, flags);
conf->nr_queued[idx]--;
spin_unlock_irqrestore(&conf->device_lock, flags);
This change generates more spin lock operations, but in next patch of
this patch set, it will be replaced by a single line code,
atomic_dec(&conf->nr_queueud[idx]);
So we don't need to worry about spin lock cost here.
- Mainline raid1 code split original raid1_make_request() into
raid1_read_request() and raid1_write_request(). If the original bio
goes across an I/O barrier unit size, this bio will be split before
calling raid1_read_request() or raid1_write_request(), this change
the code logic more simple and clear.
- In this patch wait_barrier() is moved from raid1_make_request() to
raid1_write_request(). In raid_read_request(), original wait_barrier()
is replaced by raid1_read_request().
The differnece is wait_read_barrier() only waits if array is frozen,
using different barrier function in different code path makes the code
more clean and easy to read.
Changelog

RAID1: avoid unnecessary spin locks in I/O barrier code
When I run a parallel reading performan testing on a md raid1 device with
two NVMe SSDs, I observe very bad throughput in supprise: by fio with 64KB
block size, 40 seq read I/O jobs, 128 iodepth, overall throughput is
only 2.7GB/s, this is around 50% of the idea performance number.
The perf reports locking contention happens at allow_barrier() and
wait_barrier() code,
- 41.41% fio [kernel.kallsyms] [k] _raw_spin_lock_irqsave
- _raw_spin_lock_irqsave
+ 89.92% allow_barrier
+ 9.34% __wake_up
- 37.30% fio [kernel.kallsyms] [k] _raw_spin_lock_irq
- _raw_spin_lock_irq
- 100.00% wait_barrier
The reason is, in these I/O barrier related functions,
- raise_barrier()
- lower_barrier()
- wait_barrier()
- allow_barrier()
They always hold conf->resync_lock firstly, even there are only regular
reading I/Os and no resync I/O at all. This is a huge performance penalty.
The solution is a lockless-like algorithm in I/O barrier code, and only
holding conf->resync_lock when it has to.
The original idea is from Hannes Reinecke, and Neil Brown provides
comments to improve it. I continue to work on it, and make the patch into
current form.
In the new simpler raid1 I/O barrier implementation, there are two
wait barrier functions,
- wait_barrier()
Which calls _wait_barrier(), is used for regular write I/O. If there is
resync I/O happening on the same I/O barrier bucket, or the whole
array is frozen, task will wait until no barrier on same barrier bucket,
or the whold array is unfreezed.
- wait_read_barrier()
Since regular read I/O won't interfere with resync I/O (read_balance()
will make sure only uptodate data will be read out), it is unnecessary
to wait for barrier in regular read I/Os, waiting in only necessary
when the whole array is frozen.
The operations on conf->nr_pending[idx], conf->nr_waiting[idx], conf->
barrier[idx] are very carefully designed in raise_barrier(),
lower_barrier(), _wait_barrier() and wait_read_barrier(), in order to
avoid unnecessary spin locks in these functions. Once conf->
nr_pengding[idx] is increased, a resync I/O with same barrier bucket index
has to wait in raise_barrier(). Then in _wait_barrier() if no barrier
raised in same barrier bucket index and array is not frozen, the regular
I/O doesn't need to hold conf->resync_lock, it can just increase
conf->nr_pending[idx], and return to its caller. wait_read_barrier() is
very similar to _wait_barrier(), the only difference is it only waits when
array is frozen. For heavy parallel reading I/Os, the lockless I/O barrier
code almostly gets rid of all spin lock cost.
This patch significantly improves raid1 reading peroformance. From my
testing, a raid1 device built by two NVMe SSD, runs fio with 64KB
blocksize, 40 seq read I/O jobs, 128 iodepth, overall throughput
increases from 2.7GB/s to 4.6GB/s (+70%).
Changelog
V4:
- Change conf->nr_queued[] to atomic_t.
- Define BARRIER_BUCKETS_NR_BITS by (PAGE_SHIFT - ilog2(sizeof(atomic_t)))
V3:
- Add smp_mb__after_atomic() as Shaohua and Neil suggested.
- Change conf->nr_queued[] from atomic_t to int.
- Change conf->array_frozen from atomic_t back to int, and use
READ_ONCE(conf->array_frozen) to check value of conf->array_frozen
in _wait_barrier() and wait_read_barrier().
- In _wait_barrier() and wait_read_barrier(), add a call to
wake_up(&conf->wait_barrier) after atomic_dec(&conf->nr_pending[idx]),
to fix a deadlock between _wait_barrier()/wait_read_barrier and
freeze_array().
V2:
- Remove a spin_lock/unlock pair in raid1d().
- Add more code comments to explain why there is no racy when checking two
atomic_t variables at same time.
V1:
- Original RFC patch for comments.

md/raid1: end bio when the device faulty
When write bio return error, it would be added to conf->retry_list
and wait for raid1d thread to retry write and acknowledge badblocks.
In narrow_write_error(), the error bio will be split in the unit of
badblock shift (such as one sector) and raid1d thread issues them
one by one. Until all of the splited bio has finished, raid1d thread
can go on processing other things, which is time consuming.
But, there is a scene for error handling that is not necessary.
When the device has been set faulty, flush_bio_list() may end
bios in pending_bio_list with error status. Since these bios
has not been issued to the device actually, error handlding to
retry write and acknowledge badblocks make no sense.
Even without that scene, when the device is faulty, badblocks info
can not be written out to the device. Thus, we also no need to
handle the error IO.

md/raid1: consider WRITE as successful only if at least one non-Faulty and non-rebuilding drive completed it.
Without that fix, the following scenario could happen:
- RAID1 with drives A and B; drive B was freshly-added and is rebuilding
- Drive A fails
- WRITE request arrives to the array. It is failed by drive A, so
r1_bio is marked as R1BIO_WriteError, but the rebuilding drive B
succeeds in writing it, so the same r1_bio is marked as
R1BIO_Uptodate.
- r1_bio arrives to handle_write_finished, badblocks are disabled,
md_error()->error() does nothing because we don't fail the last drive
of raid1
- raid_end_bio_io() calls call_bio_endio()
- As a result, in call_bio_endio():
if (!test_bit(R1BIO_Uptodate, &r1_bio->state))
clear_bit(BIO_UPTODATE, &bio->bi_flags);
this code doesn't clear the BIO_UPTODATE flag, and the whole master
WRITE succeeds, back to the upper layer.
So we returned success to the upper layer, even though we had written
the data onto the rebuilding drive only. But when we want to read the
data back, we would not read from the rebuilding drive, so this data
is lost.
[neilb - applied identical change to raid10 as well]
This bug can result in lost data, so it is suitable for any
-stable kernel.

RAID1: a new I/O barrier implementation to remove resync window
'Commit 79ef3a8aa1cb ("raid1: Rewrite the implementation of iobarrier.")'
introduces a sliding resync window for raid1 I/O barrier, this idea limits
I/O barriers to happen only inside a slidingresync window, for regular
I/Os out of this resync window they don't need to wait for barrier any
more. On large raid1 device, it helps a lot to improve parallel writing
I/O throughput when there are background resync I/Os performing at
same time.
The idea of sliding resync widow is awesome, but code complexity is a
challenge. Sliding resync window requires several variables to work
collectively, this is complexed and very hard to make it work correctly.
Just grep "Fixes: 79ef3a8aa1" in kernel git log, there are 8 more patches
to fix the original resync window patch. This is not the end, any further
related modification may easily introduce more regreassion.
Therefore I decide to implement a much simpler raid1 I/O barrier, by
removing resync window code, I believe life will be much easier.
The brief idea of the simpler barrier is,
- Do not maintain a global unique resync window
- Use multiple hash buckets to reduce I/O barrier conflicts, regular
I/O only has to wait for a resync I/O when both them have same barrier
bucket index, vice versa.
- I/O barrier can be reduced to an acceptable number if there are enough
barrier buckets
Here I explain how the barrier buckets are designed,
- BARRIER_UNIT_SECTOR_SIZE
The whole LBA address space of a raid1 device is divided into multiple
barrier units, by the size of BARRIER_UNIT_SECTOR_SIZE.
Bio requests won't go across border of barrier unit size, that means
maximum bio size is BARRIER_UNIT_SECTOR_SIZE<<9 (64MB) in bytes.
For random I/O 64MB is large enough for both read and write requests,
for sequential I/O considering underlying block layer may merge them
into larger requests, 64MB is still good enough.
Neil also points out that for resync operation, "we want the resync to
move from region to region fairly quickly so that the slowness caused
by having to synchronize with the resync is averaged out over a fairly
small time frame". For full speed resync, 64MB should take less then 1
second. When resync is competing with other I/O, it could take up a few
minutes. Therefore 64MB size is fairly good range for resync.
- BARRIER_BUCKETS_NR
There are BARRIER_BUCKETS_NR buckets in total, which is defined by,
#define BARRIER_BUCKETS_NR_BITS (PAGE_SHIFT - 2)
#define BARRIER_BUCKETS_NR (1<<BARRIER_BUCKETS_NR_BITS)
this patch makes the bellowed members of struct r1conf from integer
to array of integers,
- int nr_pending;
- int nr_waiting;
- int nr_queued;
- int barrier;
+ int *nr_pending;
+ int *nr_waiting;
+ int *nr_queued;
+ int *barrier;
number of the array elements is defined as BARRIER_BUCKETS_NR. For 4KB
kernel space page size, (PAGE_SHIFT - 2) indecates there are 1024 I/O
barrier buckets, and each array of integers occupies single memory page.
1024 means for a request which is smaller than the I/O barrier unit size
has ~0.1% chance to wait for resync to pause, which is quite a small
enough fraction. Also requesting single memory page is more friendly to
kernel page allocator than larger memory size.
- I/O barrier bucket is indexed by bio start sector
If multiple I/O requests hit different I/O barrier units, they only need
to compete I/O barrier with other I/Os which hit the same I/O barrier
bucket index with each other. The index of a barrier bucket which a
bio should look for is calculated by sector_to_idx() which is defined
in raid1.h as an inline function,
static inline int sector_to_idx(sector_t sector)
{
return hash_long(sector >> BARRIER_UNIT_SECTOR_BITS,
BARRIER_BUCKETS_NR_BITS);
}
Here sector_nr is the start sector number of a bio.
- Single bio won't go across boundary of a I/O barrier unit
If a request goes across boundary of barrier unit, it will be split. A
bio may be split in raid1_make_request() or raid1_sync_request(), if
sectors returned by align_to_barrier_unit_end() is smaller than
original bio size.
Comparing to single sliding resync window,
- Currently resync I/O grows linearly, therefore regular and resync I/O
will conflict within a single barrier units. So the I/O behavior is
similar to single sliding resync window.
- But a barrier unit bucket is shared by all barrier units with identical
barrier uinit index, the probability of conflict might be higher
than single sliding resync window, in condition that writing I/Os
always hit barrier units which have identical barrier bucket indexs with
the resync I/Os. This is a very rare condition in real I/O work loads,
I cannot imagine how it could happen in practice.
- Therefore we can achieve a good enough low conflict rate with much
simpler barrier algorithm and implementation.
There are two changes should be noticed,
- In raid1d(), I change the code to decrease conf->nr_pending[idx] into
single loop, it looks like this,
spin_lock_irqsave(&conf->device_lock, flags);
conf->nr_queued[idx]--;
spin_unlock_irqrestore(&conf->device_lock, flags);
This change generates more spin lock operations, but in next patch of
this patch set, it will be replaced by a single line code,
atomic_dec(&conf->nr_queueud[idx]);
So we don't need to worry about spin lock cost here.
- Mainline raid1 code split original raid1_make_request() into
raid1_read_request() and raid1_write_request(). If the original bio
goes across an I/O barrier unit size, this bio will be split before
calling raid1_read_request() or raid1_write_request(), this change
the code logic more simple and clear.
- In this patch wait_barrier() is moved from raid1_make_request() to
raid1_write_request(). In raid_read_request(), original wait_barrier()
is replaced by raid1_read_request().
The differnece is wait_read_barrier() only waits if array is frozen,
using different barrier function in different code path makes the code
more clean and easy to read.
Changelog
V4:
- Add alloc_r1bio() to remove redundant r1bio memory allocation code.
- Fix many typos in patch comments.
- Use (PAGE_SHIFT - ilog2(sizeof(int))) to define BARRIER_BUCKETS_NR_BITS.
V3:
- Rebase the patch against latest upstream kernel code.
- Many fixes by review comments from Neil,
- Back to use pointers to replace arraries in struct r1conf
- Remove total_barriers from struct r1conf
- Add more patch comments to explain how/why the values of
BARRIER_UNIT_SECTOR_SIZE and BARRIER_BUCKETS_NR are decided.
- Use get_unqueued_pending() to replace get_all_pendings() and
get_all_queued()
- Increase bucket number from 512 to 1024
- Change code comments format by review from Shaohua.
V2:
- Use bio_split() to split the orignal bio if it goes across barrier unit
bounday, to make the code more simple, by suggestion from Shaohua and
Neil.
- Use hash_long() to replace original linear hash, to avoid a possible
confilict between resync I/O and sequential write I/O, by suggestion from
Shaohua.
- Add conf->total_barriers to record barrier depth, which is used to
control number of parallel sync I/O barriers, by suggestion from Shaohua.
- In V1 patch the bellowed barrier buckets related members in r1conf are
allocated in memory page. To make the code more simple, V2 patch moves
the memory space into struct r1conf, like this,
- int nr_pending;
- int nr_waiting;
- int nr_queued;
- int barrier;
+ int nr_pending[BARRIER_BUCKETS_NR];
+ int nr_waiting[BARRIER_BUCKETS_NR];
+ int nr_queued[BARRIER_BUCKETS_NR];
+ int barrier[BARRIER_BUCKETS_NR];
This change is by the suggestion from Shaohua.
- Remove some inrelavent code comments, by suggestion from Guoqing.
- Add a missing wait_barrier() before jumping to retry_write, in
raid1_make_write_request().
V1:
- Original RFC patch for comments

md/raid1: set max_sectors during early return from choose_slow_rdev()
Linux 6.9+ is unable to start a degraded RAID1 array with one drive,
when that drive has a write-mostly flag set. During such an attempt,
the following assertion in bio_split() is hit:
BUG_ON(sectors <= 0);
Call Trace:
? bio_split+0x96/0xb0
? exc_invalid_op+0x53/0x70
? bio_split+0x96/0xb0
? asm_exc_invalid_op+0x1b/0x20
? bio_split+0x96/0xb0
? raid1_read_request+0x890/0xd20
? __call_rcu_common.constprop.0+0x97/0x260
raid1_make_request+0x81/0xce0
? __get_random_u32_below+0x17/0x70
? new_slab+0x2b3/0x580
md_handle_request+0x77/0x210
md_submit_bio+0x62/0xa0
__submit_bio+0x17b/0x230
submit_bio_noacct_nocheck+0x18e/0x3c0
submit_bio_noacct+0x244/0x670
After investigation, it turned out that choose_slow_rdev() does not set
the value of max_sectors in some cases and because of it,
raid1_read_request calls bio_split with sectors == 0.
Fix it by filling in this variable.
This bug was introduced in
commit dfa8ecd167c1 ("md/raid1: factor out choose_slow_rdev() from read_balance()")
but apparently hidden until
commit 0091c5a269ec ("md/raid1: factor out helpers to choose the best rdev from read_balance()")
shortly thereafter.

--
Tested on both Linux 6.10 and 6.9.8.
Inside a VM, mdadm testsuite for RAID1 on 6.10 did not find any problems:
./test --dev=loop --no-error --raidtype=raid1
(on 6.9.8 there was one failure, caused by external bitmap support not
compiled in).
Notes:
- I was reliably getting deadlocks when adding / removing devices
on such an array - while the array was loaded with fsstress with 20
concurrent processes. When the array was idle or loaded with fsstress
with 8 processes, no such deadlocks happened in my tests.
This occurred also on unpatched Linux 6.8.0 though, but not on
6.1.97-rc1, so this is likely an independent regression (to be
investigated).
- I was also getting deadlocks when adding / removing the bitmap on the
array in similar conditions - this happened on Linux 6.1.97-rc1
also though. fsstress with 8 concurrent processes did cause it only
once during many tests.
- in my testing, there was once a problem with hot adding an
internal bitmap to the array:
mdadm: Cannot add bitmap while array is resyncing or reshaping etc.
mdadm: failed to set internal bitmap.
even though no such reshaping was happening according to /proc/mdstat.
This seems unrelated, though.

md/raid1: read balance chooses idlest disk for SSD
SSD hasn't spindle, distance between requests means nothing. And the original
distance based algorithm sometimes can cause severe performance issue for SSD
raid.
Considering two thread groups, one accesses file A, the other access file B.
The first group will access one disk and the second will access the other disk,
because requests are near from one group and far between groups. In this case,
read balance might keep one disk very busy but the other relative idle. For
SSD, we should try best to distribute requests to as many disks as possible.
There isn't spindle move penality anyway.
With below patch, I can see more than 50% throughput improvement sometimes
depending on workloads.
The only exception is small requests can be merged to a big request which
typically can drive higher throughput for SSD too. Such small requests are
sequential reads. Unlike hard disk, sequential read which can't be merged (for
example direct IO, or read without readahead) can be ignored for SSD. Again
there is no spindle move penality. readahead dispatches small requests and such
requests can be merged.
Last patch can help detect sequential read well, at least if concurrent read
number isn't greater than raid disk number. In that case, distance based
algorithm doesn't work well too.
V2: For hard disk and SSD mixed raid, doesn't use distance based algorithm for
random IO too. This makes the algorithm generic for raid with SSD.

md/raid1: prevent merging too large request
For SSD, if request size exceeds specific value (optimal io size), request size
isn't important for bandwidth. In such condition, if making request size bigger
will cause some disks idle, the total throughput will actually drop. A good
example is doing a readahead in a two-disk raid1 setup.
So when should we split big requests? We absolutly don't want to split big
request to very small requests. Even in SSD, big request transfer is more
efficient. This patch only considers request with size above optimal io size.
If all disks are busy, is it worth doing a split? Say optimal io size is 16k,
two requests 32k and two disks. We can let each disk run one 32k request, or
split the requests to 4 16k requests and each disk runs two. It's hard to say
which case is better, depending on hardware.
So only consider case where there are idle disks. For readahead, split is
always better in this case. And in my test, below patch can improve > 30%
thoughput. Hmm, not 100%, because disk isn't 100% busy.
Such case can happen not just in readahead, for example, in directio. But I
suppose directio usually will have bigger IO depth and make all disks busy, so
I ignored it.
Note: if the raid uses any hard disk, we don't prevent merging. That will make
performace worse.

md/raid1: prevent merging too large request
For SSD, if request size exceeds specific value (optimal io size), request size
isn't important for bandwidth. In such condition, if making request size bigger
will cause some disks idle, the total throughput will actually drop. A good
example is doing a readahead in a two-disk raid1 setup.
So when should we split big requests? We absolutly don't want to split big
request to very small requests. Even in SSD, big request transfer is more
efficient. This patch only considers request with size above optimal io size.
If all disks are busy, is it worth doing a split? Say optimal io size is 16k,
two requests 32k and two disks. We can let each disk run one 32k request, or
split the requests to 4 16k requests and each disk runs two. It's hard to say
which case is better, depending on hardware.
So only consider case where there are idle disks. For readahead, split is
always better in this case. And in my test, below patch can improve > 30%
thoughput. Hmm, not 100%, because disk isn't 100% busy.
Such case can happen not just in readahead, for example, in directio. But I
suppose directio usually will have bigger IO depth and make all disks busy, so
I ignored it.
Note: if the raid uses any hard disk, we don't prevent merging. That will make
performace worse.

md/raid1: read balance chooses idlest disk for SSD
SSD hasn't spindle, distance between requests means nothing. And the original
distance based algorithm sometimes can cause severe performance issue for SSD
raid.
Considering two thread groups, one accesses file A, the other access file B.
The first group will access one disk and the second will access the other disk,
because requests are near from one group and far between groups. In this case,
read balance might keep one disk very busy but the other relative idle. For
SSD, we should try best to distribute requests to as many disks as possible.
There isn't spindle move penality anyway.
With below patch, I can see more than 50% throughput improvement sometimes
depending on workloads.
The only exception is small requests can be merged to a big request which
typically can drive higher throughput for SSD too. Such small requests are
sequential reads. Unlike hard disk, sequential read which can't be merged (for
example direct IO, or read without readahead) can be ignored for SSD. Again
there is no spindle move penality. readahead dispatches small requests and such
requests can be merged.
Last patch can help detect sequential read well, at least if concurrent read
number isn't greater than raid disk number. In that case, distance based
algorithm doesn't work well too.
V2: For hard disk and SSD mixed raid, doesn't use distance based algorithm for
random IO too. This makes the algorithm generic for raid with SSD.

RAID1: a new I/O barrier implementation to remove resync window
'Commit 79ef3a8aa1cb ("raid1: Rewrite the implementation of iobarrier.")'
introduces a sliding resync window for raid1 I/O barrier, this idea limits
I/O barriers to happen only inside a slidingresync window, for regular
I/Os out of this resync window they don't need to wait for barrier any
more. On large raid1 device, it helps a lot to improve parallel writing
I/O throughput when there are background resync I/Os performing at
same time.
The idea of sliding resync widow is awesome, but code complexity is a
challenge. Sliding resync window requires several variables to work
collectively, this is complexed and very hard to make it work correctly.
Just grep "Fixes: 79ef3a8aa1" in kernel git log, there are 8 more patches
to fix the original resync window patch. This is not the end, any further
related modification may easily introduce more regreassion.
Therefore I decide to implement a much simpler raid1 I/O barrier, by
removing resync window code, I believe life will be much easier.
The brief idea of the simpler barrier is,
- Do not maintain a global unique resync window
- Use multiple hash buckets to reduce I/O barrier conflicts, regular
I/O only has to wait for a resync I/O when both them have same barrier
bucket index, vice versa.
- I/O barrier can be reduced to an acceptable number if there are enough
barrier buckets
Here I explain how the barrier buckets are designed,
- BARRIER_UNIT_SECTOR_SIZE
The whole LBA address space of a raid1 device is divided into multiple
barrier units, by the size of BARRIER_UNIT_SECTOR_SIZE.
Bio requests won't go across border of barrier unit size, that means
maximum bio size is BARRIER_UNIT_SECTOR_SIZE<<9 (64MB) in bytes.
For random I/O 64MB is large enough for both read and write requests,
for sequential I/O considering underlying block layer may merge them
into larger requests, 64MB is still good enough.
Neil also points out that for resync operation, "we want the resync to
move from region to region fairly quickly so that the slowness caused
by having to synchronize with the resync is averaged out over a fairly
small time frame". For full speed resync, 64MB should take less then 1
second. When resync is competing with other I/O, it could take up a few
minutes. Therefore 64MB size is fairly good range for resync.
- BARRIER_BUCKETS_NR
There are BARRIER_BUCKETS_NR buckets in total, which is defined by,
#define BARRIER_BUCKETS_NR_BITS (PAGE_SHIFT - 2)
#define BARRIER_BUCKETS_NR (1<<BARRIER_BUCKETS_NR_BITS)
this patch makes the bellowed members of struct r1conf from integer
to array of integers,
- int nr_pending;
- int nr_waiting;
- int nr_queued;
- int barrier;
+ int *nr_pending;
+ int *nr_waiting;
+ int *nr_queued;
+ int *barrier;
number of the array elements is defined as BARRIER_BUCKETS_NR. For 4KB
kernel space page size, (PAGE_SHIFT - 2) indecates there are 1024 I/O
barrier buckets, and each array of integers occupies single memory page.
1024 means for a request which is smaller than the I/O barrier unit size
has ~0.1% chance to wait for resync to pause, which is quite a small
enough fraction. Also requesting single memory page is more friendly to
kernel page allocator than larger memory size.
- I/O barrier bucket is indexed by bio start sector
If multiple I/O requests hit different I/O barrier units, they only need
to compete I/O barrier with other I/Os which hit the same I/O barrier
bucket index with each other. The index of a barrier bucket which a
bio should look for is calculated by sector_to_idx() which is defined
in raid1.h as an inline function,
static inline int sector_to_idx(sector_t sector)
{
return hash_long(sector >> BARRIER_UNIT_SECTOR_BITS,
BARRIER_BUCKETS_NR_BITS);
}
Here sector_nr is the start sector number of a bio.
- Single bio won't go across boundary of a I/O barrier unit
If a request goes across boundary of barrier unit, it will be split. A
bio may be split in raid1_make_request() or raid1_sync_request(), if
sectors returned by align_to_barrier_unit_end() is smaller than
original bio size.
Comparing to single sliding resync window,
- Currently resync I/O grows linearly, therefore regular and resync I/O
will conflict within a single barrier units. So the I/O behavior is
similar to single sliding resync window.
- But a barrier unit bucket is shared by all barrier units with identical
barrier uinit index, the probability of conflict might be higher
than single sliding resync window, in condition that writing I/Os
always hit barrier units which have identical barrier bucket indexs with
the resync I/Os. This is a very rare condition in real I/O work loads,
I cannot imagine how it could happen in practice.
- Therefore we can achieve a good enough low conflict rate with much
simpler barrier algorithm and implementation.
There are two changes should be noticed,
- In raid1d(), I change the code to decrease conf->nr_pending[idx] into
single loop, it looks like this,
spin_lock_irqsave(&conf->device_lock, flags);
conf->nr_queued[idx]--;
spin_unlock_irqrestore(&conf->device_lock, flags);
This change generates more spin lock operations, but in next patch of
this patch set, it will be replaced by a single line code,
atomic_dec(&conf->nr_queueud[idx]);
So we don't need to worry about spin lock cost here.
- Mainline raid1 code split original raid1_make_request() into
raid1_read_request() and raid1_write_request(). If the original bio
goes across an I/O barrier unit size, this bio will be split before
calling raid1_read_request() or raid1_write_request(), this change
the code logic more simple and clear.
- In this patch wait_barrier() is moved from raid1_make_request() to
raid1_write_request(). In raid_read_request(), original wait_barrier()
is replaced by raid1_read_request().
The differnece is wait_read_barrier() only waits if array is frozen,
using different barrier function in different code path makes the code
more clean and easy to read.
Changelog
V4:
- Add alloc_r1bio() to remove redundant r1bio memory allocation code.
- Fix many typos in patch comments.
- Use (PAGE_SHIFT - ilog2(sizeof(int))) to define BARRIER_BUCKETS_NR_BITS.
V3:
- Rebase the patch against latest upstream kernel code.
- Many fixes by review comments from Neil,
- Back to use pointers to replace arraries in struct r1conf
- Remove total_barriers from struct r1conf
- Add more patch comments to explain how/why the values of
BARRIER_UNIT_SECTOR_SIZE and BARRIER_BUCKETS_NR are decided.
- Use get_unqueued_pending() to replace get_all_pendings() and
get_all_queued()
- Increase bucket number from 512 to 1024
- Change code comments format by review from Shaohua.
V2:
- Use bio_split() to split the orignal bio if it goes across barrier unit
bounday, to make the code more simple, by suggestion from Shaohua and
Neil.
- Use hash_long() to replace original linear hash, to avoid a possible
confilict between resync I/O and sequential write I/O, by suggestion from
Shaohua.
- Add conf->total_barriers to record barrier depth, which is used to
control number of parallel sync I/O barriers, by suggestion from Shaohua.
- In V1 patch the bellowed barrier buckets related members in r1conf are
allocated in memory page. To make the code more simple, V2 patch moves
the memory space into struct r1conf, like this,
- int nr_pending;
- int nr_waiting;
- int nr_queued;
- int barrier;
+ int nr_pending[BARRIER_BUCKETS_NR];
+ int nr_waiting[BARRIER_BUCKETS_NR];
+ int nr_queued[BARRIER_BUCKETS_NR];
+ int barrier[BARRIER_BUCKETS_NR];
This change is by the suggestion from Shaohua.
- Remove some inrelavent code comments, by suggestion from Guoqing.
- Add a missing wait_barrier() before jumping to retry_write, in
raid1_make_write_request().
V1:
- Original RFC patch for comments

RAID1: avoid unnecessary spin locks in I/O barrier code
When I run a parallel reading performan testing on a md raid1 device with
two NVMe SSDs, I observe very bad throughput in supprise: by fio with 64KB
block size, 40 seq read I/O jobs, 128 iodepth, overall throughput is
only 2.7GB/s, this is around 50% of the idea performance number.
The perf reports locking contention happens at allow_barrier() and
wait_barrier() code,
- 41.41% fio [kernel.kallsyms] [k] _raw_spin_lock_irqsave
- _raw_spin_lock_irqsave
+ 89.92% allow_barrier
+ 9.34% __wake_up
- 37.30% fio [kernel.kallsyms] [k] _raw_spin_lock_irq
- _raw_spin_lock_irq
- 100.00% wait_barrier
The reason is, in these I/O barrier related functions,
- raise_barrier()
- lower_barrier()
- wait_barrier()
- allow_barrier()
They always hold conf->resync_lock firstly, even there are only regular
reading I/Os and no resync I/O at all. This is a huge performance penalty.
The solution is a lockless-like algorithm in I/O barrier code, and only
holding conf->resync_lock when it has to.
The original idea is from Hannes Reinecke, and Neil Brown provides
comments to improve it. I continue to work on it, and make the patch into
current form.
In the new simpler raid1 I/O barrier implementation, there are two
wait barrier functions,
- wait_barrier()
Which calls _wait_barrier(), is used for regular write I/O. If there is
resync I/O happening on the same I/O barrier bucket, or the whole
array is frozen, task will wait until no barrier on same barrier bucket,
or the whold array is unfreezed.
- wait_read_barrier()
Since regular read I/O won't interfere with resync I/O (read_balance()
will make sure only uptodate data will be read out), it is unnecessary
to wait for barrier in regular read I/Os, waiting in only necessary
when the whole array is frozen.
The operations on conf->nr_pending[idx], conf->nr_waiting[idx], conf->
barrier[idx] are very carefully designed in raise_barrier(),
lower_barrier(), _wait_barrier() and wait_read_barrier(), in order to
avoid unnecessary spin locks in these functions. Once conf->
nr_pengding[idx] is increased, a resync I/O with same barrier bucket index
has to wait in raise_barrier(). Then in _wait_barrier() if no barrier
raised in same barrier bucket index and array is not frozen, the regular
I/O doesn't need to hold conf->resync_lock, it can just increase
conf->nr_pending[idx], and return to its caller. wait_read_barrier() is
very similar to _wait_barrier(), the only difference is it only waits when
array is frozen. For heavy parallel reading I/Os, the lockless I/O barrier
code almostly gets rid of all spin lock cost.
This patch significantly improves raid1 reading peroformance. From my
testing, a raid1 device built by two NVMe SSD, runs fio with 64KB
blocksize, 40 seq read I/O jobs, 128 iodepth, overall throughput
increases from 2.7GB/s to 4.6GB/s (+70%).

RAID1: avoid unnecessary spin locks in I/O barrier code
When I run a parallel reading performan testing on a md raid1 device with
two NVMe SSDs, I observe very bad throughput in supprise: by fio with 64KB
block size, 40 seq read I/O jobs, 128 iodepth, overall throughput is
only 2.7GB/s, this is around 50% of the idea performance number.
The perf reports locking contention happens at allow_barrier() and
wait_barrier() code,
- 41.41% fio [kernel.kallsyms] [k] _raw_spin_lock_irqsave
- _raw_spin_lock_irqsave
+ 89.92% allow_barrier
+ 9.34% __wake_up
- 37.30% fio [kernel.kallsyms] [k] _raw_spin_lock_irq
- _raw_spin_lock_irq
- 100.00% wait_barrier
The reason is, in these I/O barrier related functions,
- raise_barrier()
- lower_barrier()
- wait_barrier()
- allow_barrier()
They always hold conf->resync_lock firstly, even there are only regular
reading I/Os and no resync I/O at all. This is a huge performance penalty.
The solution is a lockless-like algorithm in I/O barrier code, and only

raid1: Rewrite the implementation of iobarrier.
There is an iobarrier in raid1 because of contention between normal IO and
resync IO. It suspends all normal IO when resync/recovery happens.
However if normal IO is out side the resync window, there is no contention.
So this patch changes the barrier mechanism to only block IO that
could contend with the resync that is currently happening.
We partition the whole space into five parts.
|---------|-----------|------------|----------------|-------|
start next_resync start_next_window end_window
start + RESYNC_WINDOW = next_resync
next_resync + NEXT_NORMALIO_DISTANCE = start_next_window
start_next_window + NEXT_NORMALIO_DISTANCE = end_window
Firstly we introduce some concepts:
1 - RESYNC_WINDOW: For resync, there are 32 resync requests at most at the
same time. A sync request is RESYNC_BLOCK_SIZE(64*1024).
So the RESYNC_WINDOW is 32 * RESYNC_BLOCK_SIZE, that is 2MB.
2 - NEXT_NORMALIO_DISTANCE: the distance between next_resync
and start_next_window. It also indicates the distance between
start_next_window and end_window.
It is currently 3 * RESYNC_WINDOW_SIZE but could be tuned if
this turned out not to be optimal.
3 - next_resync: the next sector at which we will do sync IO.
4 - start: a position which is at most RESYNC_WINDOW before
next_resync.
5 - start_next_window: a position which is NEXT_NORMALIO_DISTANCE
beyond next_resync. Normal-io after this position doesn't need to
wait for resync-io to complete.
6 - end_window: a position which is 2 * NEXT_NORMALIO_DISTANCE beyond
next_resync. This also doesn't need to wait, but is counted
differently.
7 - current_window_requests: the count of normalIO between
start_next_window and end_window.
8 - next_window_requests: the count of normalIO after end_window.
NormalIO will be partitioned into four types:
NormIO1: the end sector of bio is smaller or equal the start
NormIO2: the start sector of bio larger or equal to end_window
NormIO3: the start sector of bio larger or equal to
start_next_window.
NormIO4: the location between start_next_window and end_window
|--------|-----------|--------------------|----------------|-------------|
| start | next_resync | start_next_window | end_window |
NormIO1 NormIO4 NormIO4 NormIO3 NormIO2
For NormIO1, we don't need any io barrier.
For NormIO4, we used a similar approach to the original iobarrier
mechanism. The normalIO and resyncIO must be kept separate.
For NormIO2/3, we add two fields to struct r1conf: "current_window_requests"
and "next_window_requests". They indicate the count of active
requests in the two window.
For these, we don't wait for resync io to complete.
For resync action, if there are NormIO4s, we must wait for it.
If not, we can proceed.
But if resync action reaches start_next_window and
current_window_requests > 0 (that is there are NormIO3s), we must
wait until the current_window_requests becomes zero.
When current_window_requests becomes zero, start_next_window also
moves forward. Then current_window_requests will replaced by
next_window_requests.
There is a problem which when and how to change from NormIO2 to
NormIO3. Only then can sync action progress.
We add a field in struct r1conf "start_next_window".
A: if start_next_window == MaxSector, it means there are no NormIO2/3.
So start_next_window = next_resync + NEXT_NORMALIO_DISTANCE
B: if current_window_requests == 0 && next_window_requests != 0, it
means start_next_window move to end_window
There is another problem which how to differentiate between
old NormIO2(now it is NormIO3) and NormIO2.
For example, there are many bios which are NormIO2 and a bio which is
NormIO3. NormIO3 firstly completed, so the bios of NormIO2 became NormIO3.
We add a field in struct r1bio "start_next_window".
This is used to record the position conf->start_next_window when the call
to wait_barrier() is made in make_request().
In allow_barrier(), we check the conf->start_next_window.
If r1bio->stat_next_window == conf->start_next_window, it means
there is no transition between NormIO2 and NormIO3.
If r1bio->start_next_window != conf->start_next_window, it mean
there was a transition between NormIO2 and NormIO3. There can only
have been one transition. So it only means the bio is old NormIO2.
For one bio, there may be many r1bio's. So we make sure
all the r1bio->start_next_window are the same value.
If we met blocked_dev in make_request(), it must call allow_barrier
and wait_barrier. So the former and the later value of
conf->start_next_window will be change.
If there are many r1bio's with differnet start_next_window,
for the relevant bio, it depend on the last value of r1bio.
It will cause error. To avoid this, we must wait for previous r1bios
to complete.

RAID1: a new I/O barrier implementation to remove resync window
'Commit 79ef3a8aa1cb ("raid1: Rewrite the implementation of iobarrier.")'
introduces a sliding resync window for raid1 I/O barrier, this idea limits
I/O barriers to happen only inside a slidingresync window, for regular
I/Os out of this resync window they don't need to wait for barrier any
more. On large raid1 device, it helps a lot to improve parallel writing
I/O throughput when there are background resync I/Os performing at
same time.
The idea of sliding resync widow is awesome, but code complexity is a
challenge. Sliding resync window requires several variables to work
collectively, this is complexed and very hard to make it work correctly.
Just grep "Fixes: 79ef3a8aa1" in kernel git log, there are 8 more patches
to fix the original resync window patch. This is not the end, any further
related modification may easily introduce more regreassion.
Therefore I decide to implement a much simpler raid1 I/O barrier, by
removing resync window code, I believe life will be much easier.
The brief idea of the simpler barrier is,
- Do not maintain a global unique resync window
- Use multiple hash buckets to reduce I/O barrier conflicts, regular
I/O only has to wait for a resync I/O when both them have same barrier
bucket index, vice versa.
- I/O barrier can be reduced to an acceptable number if there are enough
barrier buckets
Here I explain how the barrier buckets are designed,
- BARRIER_UNIT_SECTOR_SIZE
The whole LBA address space of a raid1 device is divided into multiple
barrier units, by the size of BARRIER_UNIT_SECTOR_SIZE.
Bio requests won't go across border of barrier unit size, that means
maximum bio size is BARRIER_UNIT_SECTOR_SIZE<<9 (64MB) in bytes.
For random I/O 64MB is large enough for both read and write requests,
for sequential I/O considering underlying block layer may merge them
into larger requests, 64MB is still good enough.
Neil also points out that for resync operation, "we want the resync to
move from region to region fairly quickly so that the slowness caused
by having to synchronize with the resync is averaged out over a fairly
small time frame". For full speed resync, 64MB should take less then 1
second. When resync is competing with other I/O, it could take up a few
minutes. Therefore 64MB size is fairly good range for resync.
- BARRIER_BUCKETS_NR
There are BARRIER_BUCKETS_NR buckets in total, which is defined by,
#define BARRIER_BUCKETS_NR_BITS (PAGE_SHIFT - 2)
#define BARRIER_BUCKETS_NR (1<<BARRIER_BUCKETS_NR_BITS)
this patch makes the bellowed members of struct r1conf from integer
to array of integers,
- int nr_pending;
- int nr_waiting;
- int nr_queued;
- int barrier;
+ int *nr_pending;
+ int *nr_waiting;
+ int *nr_queued;
+ int *barrier;
number of the array elements is defined as BARRIER_BUCKETS_NR. For 4KB
kernel space page size, (PAGE_SHIFT - 2) indecates there are 1024 I/O
barrier buckets, and each array of integers occupies single memory page.
1024 means for a request which is smaller than the I/O barrier unit size
has ~0.1% chance to wait for resync to pause, which is quite a small
enough fraction. Also requesting single memory page is more friendly to
kernel page allocator than larger memory size.
- I/O barrier bucket is indexed by bio start sector
If multiple I/O requests hit different I/O barrier units, they only need
to compete I/O barrier with other I/Os which hit the same I/O barrier
bucket index with each other. The index of a barrier bucket which a
bio should look for is calculated by sector_to_idx() which is defined
in raid1.h as an inline function,
static inline int sector_to_idx(sector_t sector)
{
return hash_long(sector >> BARRIER_UNIT_SECTOR_BITS,
BARRIER_BUCKETS_NR_BITS);
}
Here sector_nr is the start sector number of a bio.
- Single bio won't go across boundary of a I/O barrier unit
If a request goes across boundary of barrier unit, it will be split. A
bio may be split in raid1_make_request() or raid1_sync_request(), if
sectors returned by align_to_barrier_unit_end() is smaller than
original bio size.
Comparing to single sliding resync window,
- Currently resync I/O grows linearly, therefore regular and resync I/O
will conflict within a single barrier units. So the I/O behavior is
similar to single sliding resync window.
- But a barrier unit bucket is shared by all barrier units with identical
barrier uinit index, the probability of conflict might be higher
than single sliding resync window, in condition that writing I/Os
always hit barrier units which have identical barrier bucket indexs with
the resync I/Os. This is a very rare condition in real I/O work loads,
I cannot imagine how it could happen in practice.
- Therefore we can achieve a good enough low conflict rate with much
simpler barrier algorithm and implementation.
There are two changes should be noticed,
- In raid1d(), I change the code to decrease conf->nr_pending[idx] into
single loop, it looks like this,
spin_lock_irqsave(&conf->device_lock, flags);
conf->nr_queued[idx]--;
spin_unlock_irqrestore(&conf->device_lock, flags);
This change generates more spin lock operations, but in next patch of
this patch set, it will be replaced by a single line code,
atomic_dec(&conf->nr_queueud[idx]);
So we don't need to worry about spin lock cost here.
- Mainline raid1 code split original raid1_make_request() into
raid1_read_request() and raid1_write_request(). If the original bio
goes across an I/O barrier unit size, this bio will be split before
calling raid1_read_request() or raid1_write_request(), this change
the code logic more simple and clear.
- In this patch wait_barrier() is moved from raid1_make_request() to
raid1_write_request(). In raid_read_request(), original wait_barrier()
is replaced by raid1_read_request().
The differnece is wait_read_barrier() only waits if array is frozen,
using different barrier function in different code path makes the code
more clean and easy to read.
Changelog
V4:
- Add alloc_r1bio() to remove redundant r1bio memory allocation code.
- Fix many typos in patch comments.
- Use (PAGE_SHIFT - ilog2(sizeof(int))) to define BARRIER_BUCKETS_NR_BITS.
V3:
- Rebase the patch against latest upstream kernel code.
- Many fixes by review comments from Neil,
- Back to use pointers to replace arraries in struct r1conf
- Remove total_barriers from struct r1conf
- Add more patch comments to explain how/why the values of
BARRIER_UNIT_SECTOR_SIZE and BARRIER_BUCKETS_NR are decided.
- Use get_unqueued_pending() to replace get_all_pendings() and
get_all_queued()
- Increase bucket number from 512 to 1024
- Change code comments format by review from Shaohua.
V2:
- Use bio_split() to split the orignal bio if it goes across barrier unit
bounday, to make the code more simple, by suggestion from Shaohua and
Neil.
- Use hash_long() to replace original linear hash, to avoid a possible
confilict between resync I/O and sequential write I/O, by suggestion from
Shaohua.
- Add conf->total_barriers to record barrier depth, which is used to
control number of parallel sync I/O barriers, by suggestion from Shaohua.
- In V1 patch the bellowed barrier buckets related members in r1conf are
allocated in memory page. To make the code more simple, V2 patch moves
the memory space into struct r1conf, like this,
- int nr_pending;
- int nr_waiting;
- int nr_queued;
- int barrier;
+ int nr_pending[BARRIER_BUCKETS_NR];
+ int nr_waiting[BARRIER_BUCKETS_NR];
+ int nr_queued[BARRIER_BUCKETS_NR];
+ int barrier[BARRIER_BUCKETS_NR];
This change is by the suggestion from Shaohua.
- Remove some inrelavent code comments, by suggestion from Guoqing.
- Add a missing wait_barrier() before jumping to retry_write, in
raid1_make_write_request().

RAID1: avoid unnecessary spin locks in I/O barrier code
When I run a parallel reading performan testing on a md raid1 device with
two NVMe SSDs, I observe very bad throughput in supprise: by fio with 64KB
block size, 40 seq read I/O jobs, 128 iodepth, overall throughput is
only 2.7GB/s, this is around 50% of the idea performance number.
The perf reports locking contention happens at allow_barrier() and
wait_barrier() code,
- 41.41% fio [kernel.kallsyms] [k] _raw_spin_lock_irqsave
- _raw_spin_lock_irqsave
+ 89.92% allow_barrier
+ 9.34% __wake_up
- 37.30% fio [kernel.kallsyms] [k] _raw_spin_lock_irq
- _raw_spin_lock_irq
- 100.00% wait_barrier
The reason is, in these I/O barrier related functions,
- raise_barrier()
- lower_barrier()
- wait_barrier()
- allow_barrier()
They always hold conf->resync_lock firstly, even there are only regular
reading I/Os and no resync I/O at all. This is a huge performance penalty.
The solution is a lockless-like algorithm in I/O barrier code, and only
holding conf->resync_lock when it has to.
The original idea is from Hannes Reinecke, and Neil Brown provides
comments to improve it. I continue to work on it, and make the patch into
current form.
In the new simpler raid1 I/O barrier implementation, there are two
wait barrier functions,
- wait_barrier()
Which calls _wait_barrier(), is used for regular write I/O. If there is
resync I/O happening on the same I/O barrier bucket, or the whole
array is frozen, task will wait until no barrier on same barrier bucket,
or the whold array is unfreezed.
- wait_read_barrier()
Since regular read I/O won't interfere with resync I/O (read_balance()
will make sure only uptodate data will be read out), it is unnecessary
to wait for barrier in regular read I/Os, waiting in only necessary
when the whole array is frozen.
The operations on conf->nr_pending[idx], conf->nr_waiting[idx], conf->
barrier[idx] are very carefully designed in raise_barrier(),
lower_barrier(), _wait_barrier() and wait_read_barrier(), in order to
avoid unnecessary spin locks in these functions. Once conf->
nr_pengding[idx] is increased, a resync I/O with same barrier bucket index
has to wait in raise_barrier(). Then in _wait_barrier() if no barrier
raised in same barrier bucket index and array is not frozen, the regular
I/O doesn't need to hold conf->resync_lock, it can just increase
conf->nr_pending[idx], and return to its caller. wait_read_barrier() is
very similar to _wait_barrier(), the only difference is it only waits when
array is frozen. For heavy parallel reading I/Os, the lockless I/O barrier
code almostly gets rid of all spin lock cost.
This patch significantly improves raid1 reading peroformance. From my
testing, a raid1 device built by two NVMe SSD, runs fio with 64KB
blocksize, 40 seq read I/O jobs, 128 iodepth, overall throughput
increases from 2.7GB/s to 4.6GB/s (+70%).
Changelog
V4:
- Change conf->nr_queued[] to atomic_t.

- Change conf->array_frozen from atomic_t back to int, and use
READ_ONCE(conf->array_frozen) to check value of conf->array_frozen
in _wait_barrier() and wait_read_barrier().
- In _wait_barrier() and wait_read_barrier(), add a call to
wake_up(&conf->wait_barrier) after atomic_dec(&conf->nr_pending[idx]),
to fix a deadlock between _wait_barrier()/wait_read_barrier and
freeze_array().
V2:

RAID1: a new I/O barrier implementation to remove resync window
'Commit 79ef3a8aa1cb ("raid1: Rewrite the implementation of iobarrier.")'
introduces a sliding resync window for raid1 I/O barrier, this idea limits
I/O barriers to happen only inside a slidingresync window, for regular
I/Os out of this resync window they don't need to wait for barrier any
more. On large raid1 device, it helps a lot to improve parallel writing
I/O throughput when there are background resync I/Os performing at
same time.
The idea of sliding resync widow is awesome, but code complexity is a
challenge. Sliding resync window requires several variables to work
collectively, this is complexed and very hard to make it work correctly.
Just grep "Fixes: 79ef3a8aa1" in kernel git log, there are 8 more patches
to fix the original resync window patch. This is not the end, any further
related modification may easily introduce more regreassion.
Therefore I decide to implement a much simpler raid1 I/O barrier, by
removing resync window code, I believe life will be much easier.
The brief idea of the simpler barrier is,
- Do not maintain a global unique resync window
- Use multiple hash buckets to reduce I/O barrier conflicts, regular
I/O only has to wait for a resync I/O when both them have same barrier
bucket index, vice versa.
- I/O barrier can be reduced to an acceptable number if there are enough
barrier buckets
Here I explain how the barrier buckets are designed,
- BARRIER_UNIT_SECTOR_SIZE
The whole LBA address space of a raid1 device is divided into multiple
barrier units, by the size of BARRIER_UNIT_SECTOR_SIZE.
Bio requests won't go across border of barrier unit size, that means
maximum bio size is BARRIER_UNIT_SECTOR_SIZE<<9 (64MB) in bytes.
For random I/O 64MB is large enough for both read and write requests,
for sequential I/O considering underlying block layer may merge them
into larger requests, 64MB is still good enough.
Neil also points out that for resync operation, "we want the resync to
move from region to region fairly quickly so that the slowness caused
by having to synchronize with the resync is averaged out over a fairly
small time frame". For full speed resync, 64MB should take less then 1
second. When resync is competing with other I/O, it could take up a few
minutes. Therefore 64MB size is fairly good range for resync.
- BARRIER_BUCKETS_NR
There are BARRIER_BUCKETS_NR buckets in total, which is defined by,
#define BARRIER_BUCKETS_NR_BITS (PAGE_SHIFT - 2)
#define BARRIER_BUCKETS_NR (1<<BARRIER_BUCKETS_NR_BITS)
this patch makes the bellowed members of struct r1conf from integer
to array of integers,
- int nr_pending;
- int nr_waiting;
- int nr_queued;
- int barrier;
+ int *nr_pending;
+ int *nr_waiting;
+ int *nr_queued;
+ int *barrier;
number of the array elements is defined as BARRIER_BUCKETS_NR. For 4KB
kernel space page size, (PAGE_SHIFT - 2) indecates there are 1024 I/O
barrier buckets, and each array of integers occupies single memory page.
1024 means for a request which is smaller than the I/O barrier unit size
has ~0.1% chance to wait for resync to pause, which is quite a small
enough fraction. Also requesting single memory page is more friendly to
kernel page allocator than larger memory size.
- I/O barrier bucket is indexed by bio start sector
If multiple I/O requests hit different I/O barrier units, they only need
to compete I/O barrier with other I/Os which hit the same I/O barrier
bucket index with each other. The index of a barrier bucket which a
bio should look for is calculated by sector_to_idx() which is defined
in raid1.h as an inline function,
static inline int sector_to_idx(sector_t sector)
{
return hash_long(sector >> BARRIER_UNIT_SECTOR_BITS,
BARRIER_BUCKETS_NR_BITS);
}
Here sector_nr is the start sector number of a bio.
- Single bio won't go across boundary of a I/O barrier unit
If a request goes across boundary of barrier unit, it will be split. A
bio may be split in raid1_make_request() or raid1_sync_request(), if
sectors returned by align_to_barrier_unit_end() is smaller than
original bio size.
Comparing to single sliding resync window,
- Currently resync I/O grows linearly, therefore regular and resync I/O
will conflict within a single barrier units. So the I/O behavior is
similar to single sliding resync window.
- But a barrier unit bucket is shared by all barrier units with identical
barrier uinit index, the probability of conflict might be higher
than single sliding resync window, in condition that writing I/Os
always hit barrier units which have identical barrier bucket indexs with
the resync I/Os. This is a very rare condition in real I/O work loads,
I cannot imagine how it could happen in practice.
- Therefore we can achieve a good enough low conflict rate with much
simpler barrier algorithm and implementation.
There are two changes should be noticed,
- In raid1d(), I change the code to decrease conf->nr_pending[idx] into
single loop, it looks like this,
spin_lock_irqsave(&conf->device_lock, flags);
conf->nr_queued[idx]--;
spin_unlock_irqrestore(&conf->device_lock, flags);
This change generates more spin lock operations, but in next patch of
this patch set, it will be replaced by a single line code,
atomic_dec(&conf->nr_queueud[idx]);
So we don't need to worry about spin lock cost here.
- Mainline raid1 code split original raid1_make_request() into
raid1_read_request() and raid1_write_request(). If the original bio
goes across an I/O barrier unit size, this bio will be split before
calling raid1_read_request() or raid1_write_request(), this change
the code logic more simple and clear.
- In this patch wait_barrier() is moved from raid1_make_request() to
raid1_write_request(). In raid_read_request(), original wait_barrier()
is replaced by raid1_read_request().
The differnece is wait_read_barrier() only waits if array is frozen,
using different barrier function in different code path makes the code
more clean and easy to read.
Changelog
V4:
- Add alloc_r1bio() to remove redundant r1bio memory allocation code.
- Fix many typos in patch comments.
- Use (PAGE_SHIFT - ilog2(sizeof(int))) to define BARRIER_BUCKETS_NR_BITS.
V3:
- Rebase the patch against latest upstream kernel code.
- Many fixes by review comments from Neil,
- Back to use pointers to replace arraries in struct r1conf
- Remove total_barriers from struct r1conf
- Add more patch comments to explain how/why the values of
BARRIER_UNIT_SECTOR_SIZE and BARRIER_BUCKETS_NR are decided.
- Use get_unqueued_pending() to replace get_all_pendings() and
get_all_queued()
- Increase bucket number from 512 to 1024
- Change code comments format by review from Shaohua.
V2:
- Use bio_split() to split the orignal bio if it goes across barrier unit
bounday, to make the code more simple, by suggestion from Shaohua and
Neil.
- Use hash_long() to replace original linear hash, to avoid a possible
confilict between resync I/O and sequential write I/O, by suggestion from
Shaohua.
- Add conf->total_barriers to record barrier depth, which is used to
control number of parallel sync I/O barriers, by suggestion from Shaohua.
- In V1 patch the bellowed barrier buckets related members in r1conf are
allocated in memory page. To make the code more simple, V2 patch moves
the memory space into struct r1conf, like this,
- int nr_pending;
- int nr_waiting;
- int nr_queued;
- int barrier;
+ int nr_pending[BARRIER_BUCKETS_NR];
+ int nr_waiting[BARRIER_BUCKETS_NR];
+ int nr_queued[BARRIER_BUCKETS_NR];
+ int barrier[BARRIER_BUCKETS_NR];
This change is by the suggestion from Shaohua.
- Remove some inrelavent code comments, by suggestion from Guoqing.
- Add a missing wait_barrier() before jumping to retry_write, in
raid1_make_write_request().

RAID1: avoid unnecessary spin locks in I/O barrier code
When I run a parallel reading performan testing on a md raid1 device with
two NVMe SSDs, I observe very bad throughput in supprise: by fio with 64KB
block size, 40 seq read I/O jobs, 128 iodepth, overall throughput is
only 2.7GB/s, this is around 50% of the idea performance number.
The perf reports locking contention happens at allow_barrier() and
wait_barrier() code,
- 41.41% fio [kernel.kallsyms] [k] _raw_spin_lock_irqsave
- _raw_spin_lock_irqsave
+ 89.92% allow_barrier
+ 9.34% __wake_up
- 37.30% fio [kernel.kallsyms] [k] _raw_spin_lock_irq
- _raw_spin_lock_irq
- 100.00% wait_barrier
The reason is, in these I/O barrier related functions,
- raise_barrier()
- lower_barrier()
- wait_barrier()
- allow_barrier()
They always hold conf->resync_lock firstly, even there are only regular
reading I/Os and no resync I/O at all. This is a huge performance penalty.
The solution is a lockless-like algorithm in I/O barrier code, and only
holding conf->resync_lock when it has to.
The original idea is from Hannes Reinecke, and Neil Brown provides
comments to improve it. I continue to work on it, and make the patch into
current form.
In the new simpler raid1 I/O barrier implementation, there are two
wait barrier functions,
- wait_barrier()
Which calls _wait_barrier(), is used for regular write I/O. If there is
resync I/O happening on the same I/O barrier bucket, or the whole
array is frozen, task will wait until no barrier on same barrier bucket,
or the whold array is unfreezed.
- wait_read_barrier()
Since regular read I/O won't interfere with resync I/O (read_balance()
will make sure only uptodate data will be read out), it is unnecessary
to wait for barrier in regular read I/Os, waiting in only necessary
when the whole array is frozen.
The operations on conf->nr_pending[idx], conf->nr_waiting[idx], conf->
barrier[idx] are very carefully designed in raise_barrier(),
lower_barrier(), _wait_barrier() and wait_read_barrier(), in order to
avoid unnecessary spin locks in these functions. Once conf->
nr_pengding[idx] is increased, a resync I/O with same barrier bucket index
has to wait in raise_barrier(). Then in _wait_barrier() if no barrier
raised in same barrier bucket index and array is not frozen, the regular
I/O doesn't need to hold conf->resync_lock, it can just increase
conf->nr_pending[idx], and return to its caller. wait_read_barrier() is
very similar to _wait_barrier(), the only difference is it only waits when
array is frozen. For heavy parallel reading I/Os, the lockless I/O barrier
code almostly gets rid of all spin lock cost.
This patch significantly improves raid1 reading peroformance. From my
testing, a raid1 device built by two NVMe SSD, runs fio with 64KB
blocksize, 40 seq read I/O jobs, 128 iodepth, overall throughput
increases from 2.7GB/s to 4.6GB/s (+70%).
Changelog

- Change conf->nr_queued[] to atomic_t.
- Define BARRIER_BUCKETS_NR_BITS by (PAGE_SHIFT - ilog2(sizeof(atomic_t)))
V3:

collectively, this is complexed and very hard to make it work correctly.
Just grep "Fixes: 79ef3a8aa1" in kernel git log, there are 8 more patches
to fix the original resync window patch. This is not the end, any further
related modification may easily introduce more regreassion.
Therefore I decide to implement a much simpler raid1 I/O barrier, by
removing resync window code, I believe life will be much easier.
The brief idea of the simpler barrier is,
- Do not maintain a global unique resync window
- Use multiple hash buckets to reduce I/O barrier conflicts, regular
I/O only has to wait for a resync I/O when both them have same barrier
bucket index, vice versa.
- I/O barrier can be reduced to an acceptable number if there are enough
barrier buckets
Here I explain how the barrier buckets are designed,
- BARRIER_UNIT_SECTOR_SIZE
The whole LBA address space of a raid1 device is divided into multiple
barrier units, by the size of BARRIER_UNIT_SECTOR_SIZE.
Bio requests won't go across border of barrier unit size, that means
maximum bio size is BARRIER_UNIT_SECTOR_SIZE<<9 (64MB) in bytes.
For random I/O 64MB is large enough for both read and write requests,
for sequential I/O considering underlying block layer may merge them
into larger requests, 64MB is still good enough.
Neil also points out that for resync operation, "we want the resync to
move from region to region fairly quickly so that the slowness caused
by having to synchronize with the resync is averaged out over a fairly
small time frame". For full speed resync, 64MB should take less then 1
second. When resync is competing with other I/O, it could take up a few
minutes. Therefore 64MB size is fairly good range for resync.
- BARRIER_BUCKETS_NR
There are BARRIER_BUCKETS_NR buckets in total, which is defined by,
#define BARRIER_BUCKETS_NR_BITS (PAGE_SHIFT - 2)
#define BARRIER_BUCKETS_NR (1<<BARRIER_BUCKETS_NR_BITS)
this patch makes the bellowed members of struct r1conf from integer
to array of integers,
- int nr_pending;
- int nr_waiting;
- int nr_queued;
- int barrier;
+ int *nr_pending;
+ int *nr_waiting;
+ int *nr_queued;
+ int *barrier;
number of the array elements is defined as BARRIER_BUCKETS_NR. For 4KB
kernel space page size, (PAGE_SHIFT - 2) indecates there are 1024 I/O
barrier buckets, and each array of integers occupies single memory page.
1024 means for a request which is smaller than the I/O barrier unit size
has ~0.1% chance to wait for resync to pause, which is quite a small
enough fraction. Also requesting single memory page is more friendly to
kernel page allocator than larger memory size.
- I/O barrier bucket is indexed by bio start sector
If multiple I/O requests hit different I/O barrier units, they only need
to compete I/O barrier with other I/Os which hit the same I/O barrier
bucket index with each other. The index of a barrier bucket which a
bio should look for is calculated by sector_to_idx() which is defined
in raid1.h as an inline function,
static inline int sector_to_idx(sector_t sector)
{
return hash_long(sector >> BARRIER_UNIT_SECTOR_BITS,
BARRIER_BUCKETS_NR_BITS);
}
Here sector_nr is the start sector number of a bio.
- Single bio won't go across boundary of a I/O barrier unit
If a request goes across boundary of barrier unit, it will be split. A
bio may be split in raid1_make_request() or raid1_sync_request(), if
sectors returned by align_to_barrier_unit_end() is smaller than
original bio size.
Comparing to single sliding resync window,
- Currently resync I/O grows linearly, therefore regular and resync I/O
will conflict within a single barrier units. So the I/O behavior is
similar to single sliding resync window.
- But a barrier unit bucket is shared by all barrier units with identical
barrier uinit index, the probability of conflict might be higher
than single sliding resync window, in condition that writing I/Os
always hit barrier units which have identical barrier bucket indexs with
the resync I/Os. This is a very rare condition in real I/O work loads,
I cannot imagine how it could happen in practice.
- Therefore we can achieve a good enough low conflict rate with much
simpler barrier algorithm and implementation.
There are two changes should be noticed,
- In raid1d(), I change the code to decrease conf->nr_pending[idx] into
single loop, it looks like this,
spin_lock_irqsave(&conf->device_lock, flags);
conf->nr_queued[idx]--;
spin_unlock_irqrestore(&conf->device_lock, flags);
This change generates more spin lock operations, but in next patch of
this patch set, it will be replaced by a single line code,
atomic_dec(&conf->nr_queueud[idx]);
So we don't need to worry about spin lock cost here.
- Mainline raid1 code split original raid1_make_request() into
raid1_read_request() and raid1_write_request(). If the original bio
goes across an I/O barrier unit size, this bio will be split before
calling raid1_read_request() or raid1_write_request(), this change
the code logic more simple and clear.
- In this patch wait_barrier() is moved from raid1_make_request() to
raid1_write_request(). In raid_read_request(), original wait_barrier()
is replaced by raid1_read_request().
The differnece is wait_read_barrier() only waits if array is frozen,
using different barrier function in different code path makes the code
more clean and easy to read.

RAID1: avoid unnecessary spin locks in I/O barrier code
When I run a parallel reading performan testing on a md raid1 device with
two NVMe SSDs, I observe very bad throughput in supprise: by fio with 64KB
block size, 40 seq read I/O jobs, 128 iodepth, overall throughput is
only 2.7GB/s, this is around 50% of the idea performance number.
The perf reports locking contention happens at allow_barrier() and
wait_barrier() code,
- 41.41% fio [kernel.kallsyms] [k] _raw_spin_lock_irqsave
- _raw_spin_lock_irqsave
+ 89.92% allow_barrier
+ 9.34% __wake_up
- 37.30% fio [kernel.kallsyms] [k] _raw_spin_lock_irq
- _raw_spin_lock_irq
- 100.00% wait_barrier
The reason is, in these I/O barrier related functions,
- raise_barrier()
- lower_barrier()
- wait_barrier()
- allow_barrier()
They always hold conf->resync_lock firstly, even there are only regular
reading I/Os and no resync I/O at all. This is a huge performance penalty.
The solution is a lockless-like algorithm in I/O barrier code, and only
holding conf->resync_lock when it has to.
The original idea is from Hannes Reinecke, and Neil Brown provides
comments to improve it. I continue to work on it, and make the patch into
current form.
In the new simpler raid1 I/O barrier implementation, there are two
wait barrier functions,
- wait_barrier()
Which calls _wait_barrier(), is used for regular write I/O. If there is
resync I/O happening on the same I/O barrier bucket, or the whole
array is frozen, task will wait until no barrier on same barrier bucket,
or the whold array is unfreezed.
- wait_read_barrier()
Since regular read I/O won't interfere with resync I/O (read_balance()
will make sure only uptodate data will be read out), it is unnecessary
to wait for barrier in regular read I/Os, waiting in only necessary
when the whole array is frozen.
The operations on conf->nr_pending[idx], conf->nr_waiting[idx], conf->
barrier[idx] are very carefully designed in raise_barrier(),
lower_barrier(), _wait_barrier() and wait_read_barrier(), in order to
avoid unnecessary spin locks in these functions. Once conf->
nr_pengding[idx] is increased, a resync I/O with same barrier bucket index
has to wait in raise_barrier(). Then in _wait_barrier() if no barrier
raised in same barrier bucket index and array is not frozen, the regular
I/O doesn't need to hold conf->resync_lock, it can just increase
conf->nr_pending[idx], and return to its caller. wait_read_barrier() is
very similar to _wait_barrier(), the only difference is it only waits when
array is frozen. For heavy parallel reading I/Os, the lockless I/O barrier
code almostly gets rid of all spin lock cost.
This patch significantly improves raid1 reading peroformance. From my
testing, a raid1 device built by two NVMe SSD, runs fio with 64KB
blocksize, 40 seq read I/O jobs, 128 iodepth, overall throughput
increases from 2.7GB/s to 4.6GB/s (+70%).

raid1: Rewrite the implementation of iobarrier.
There is an iobarrier in raid1 because of contention between normal IO and
resync IO. It suspends all normal IO when resync/recovery happens.
However if normal IO is out side the resync window, there is no contention.
So this patch changes the barrier mechanism to only block IO that
could contend with the resync that is currently happening.
We partition the whole space into five parts.
|---------|-----------|------------|----------------|-------|
start next_resync start_next_window end_window
start + RESYNC_WINDOW = next_resync
next_resync + NEXT_NORMALIO_DISTANCE = start_next_window
start_next_window + NEXT_NORMALIO_DISTANCE = end_window
Firstly we introduce some concepts:
1 - RESYNC_WINDOW: For resync, there are 32 resync requests at most at the
same time. A sync request is RESYNC_BLOCK_SIZE(64*1024).
So the RESYNC_WINDOW is 32 * RESYNC_BLOCK_SIZE, that is 2MB.
2 - NEXT_NORMALIO_DISTANCE: the distance between next_resync
and start_next_window. It also indicates the distance between
start_next_window and end_window.
It is currently 3 * RESYNC_WINDOW_SIZE but could be tuned if
this turned out not to be optimal.
3 - next_resync: the next sector at which we will do sync IO.
4 - start: a position which is at most RESYNC_WINDOW before
next_resync.
5 - start_next_window: a position which is NEXT_NORMALIO_DISTANCE
beyond next_resync. Normal-io after this position doesn't need to
wait for resync-io to complete.
6 - end_window: a position which is 2 * NEXT_NORMALIO_DISTANCE beyond
next_resync. This also doesn't need to wait, but is counted
differently.
7 - current_window_requests: the count of normalIO between
start_next_window and end_window.
8 - next_window_requests: the count of normalIO after end_window.
NormalIO will be partitioned into four types:
NormIO1: the end sector of bio is smaller or equal the start
NormIO2: the start sector of bio larger or equal to end_window
NormIO3: the start sector of bio larger or equal to
start_next_window.
NormIO4: the location between start_next_window and end_window
|--------|-----------|--------------------|----------------|-------------|
| start | next_resync | start_next_window | end_window |
NormIO1 NormIO4 NormIO4 NormIO3 NormIO2
For NormIO1, we don't need any io barrier.
For NormIO4, we used a similar approach to the original iobarrier
mechanism. The normalIO and resyncIO must be kept separate.
For NormIO2/3, we add two fields to struct r1conf: "current_window_requests"
and "next_window_requests". They indicate the count of active
requests in the two window.
For these, we don't wait for resync io to complete.
For resync action, if there are NormIO4s, we must wait for it.
If not, we can proceed.
But if resync action reaches start_next_window and
current_window_requests > 0 (that is there are NormIO3s), we must
wait until the current_window_requests becomes zero.
When current_window_requests becomes zero, start_next_window also
moves forward. Then current_window_requests will replaced by
next_window_requests.
There is a problem which when and how to change from NormIO2 to
NormIO3. Only then can sync action progress.
We add a field in struct r1conf "start_next_window".
A: if start_next_window == MaxSector, it means there are no NormIO2/3.
So start_next_window = next_resync + NEXT_NORMALIO_DISTANCE
B: if current_window_requests == 0 && next_window_requests != 0, it
means start_next_window move to end_window
There is another problem which how to differentiate between
old NormIO2(now it is NormIO3) and NormIO2.
For example, there are many bios which are NormIO2 and a bio which is
NormIO3. NormIO3 firstly completed, so the bios of NormIO2 became NormIO3.
We add a field in struct r1bio "start_next_window".
This is used to record the position conf->start_next_window when the call
to wait_barrier() is made in make_request().
In allow_barrier(), we check the conf->start_next_window.
If r1bio->stat_next_window == conf->start_next_window, it means
there is no transition between NormIO2 and NormIO3.
If r1bio->start_next_window != conf->start_next_window, it mean
there was a transition between NormIO2 and NormIO3. There can only
have been one transition. So it only means the bio is old NormIO2.
For one bio, there may be many r1bio's. So we make sure
all the r1bio->start_next_window are the same value.
If we met blocked_dev in make_request(), it must call allow_barrier
and wait_barrier. So the former and the later value of
conf->start_next_window will be change.
If there are many r1bio's with differnet start_next_window,
for the relevant bio, it depend on the last value of r1bio.
It will cause error. To avoid this, we must wait for previous r1bios
to complete.

raid1: Rewrite the implementation of iobarrier.
There is an iobarrier in raid1 because of contention between normal IO and
resync IO. It suspends all normal IO when resync/recovery happens.
However if normal IO is out side the resync window, there is no contention.
So this patch changes the barrier mechanism to only block IO that
could contend with the resync that is currently happening.
We partition the whole space into five parts.
|---------|-----------|------------|----------------|-------|
start next_resync start_next_window end_window
start + RESYNC_WINDOW = next_resync
next_resync + NEXT_NORMALIO_DISTANCE = start_next_window
start_next_window + NEXT_NORMALIO_DISTANCE = end_window
Firstly we introduce some concepts:
1 - RESYNC_WINDOW: For resync, there are 32 resync requests at most at the
same time. A sync request is RESYNC_BLOCK_SIZE(64*1024).
So the RESYNC_WINDOW is 32 * RESYNC_BLOCK_SIZE, that is 2MB.
2 - NEXT_NORMALIO_DISTANCE: the distance between next_resync
and start_next_window. It also indicates the distance between
start_next_window and end_window.
It is currently 3 * RESYNC_WINDOW_SIZE but could be tuned if
this turned out not to be optimal.
3 - next_resync: the next sector at which we will do sync IO.
4 - start: a position which is at most RESYNC_WINDOW before
next_resync.
5 - start_next_window: a position which is NEXT_NORMALIO_DISTANCE
beyond next_resync. Normal-io after this position doesn't need to
wait for resync-io to complete.
6 - end_window: a position which is 2 * NEXT_NORMALIO_DISTANCE beyond
next_resync. This also doesn't need to wait, but is counted
differently.
7 - current_window_requests: the count of normalIO between
start_next_window and end_window.
8 - next_window_requests: the count of normalIO after end_window.
NormalIO will be partitioned into four types:
NormIO1: the end sector of bio is smaller or equal the start
NormIO2: the start sector of bio larger or equal to end_window
NormIO3: the start sector of bio larger or equal to
start_next_window.
NormIO4: the location between start_next_window and end_window
|--------|-----------|--------------------|----------------|-------------|
| start | next_resync | start_next_window | end_window |
NormIO1 NormIO4 NormIO4 NormIO3 NormIO2
For NormIO1, we don't need any io barrier.
For NormIO4, we used a similar approach to the original iobarrier
mechanism. The normalIO and resyncIO must be kept separate.
For NormIO2/3, we add two fields to struct r1conf: "current_window_requests"
and "next_window_requests". They indicate the count of active
requests in the two window.
For these, we don't wait for resync io to complete.
For resync action, if there are NormIO4s, we must wait for it.
If not, we can proceed.
But if resync action reaches start_next_window and
current_window_requests > 0 (that is there are NormIO3s), we must
wait until the current_window_requests becomes zero.
When current_window_requests becomes zero, start_next_window also
moves forward. Then current_window_requests will replaced by
next_window_requests.
There is a problem which when and how to change from NormIO2 to
NormIO3. Only then can sync action progress.
We add a field in struct r1conf "start_next_window".
A: if start_next_window == MaxSector, it means there are no NormIO2/3.
So start_next_window = next_resync + NEXT_NORMALIO_DISTANCE
B: if current_window_requests == 0 && next_window_requests != 0, it
means start_next_window move to end_window
There is another problem which how to differentiate between
old NormIO2(now it is NormIO3) and NormIO2.
For example, there are many bios which are NormIO2 and a bio which is
NormIO3. NormIO3 firstly completed, so the bios of NormIO2 became NormIO3.
We add a field in struct r1bio "start_next_window".
This is used to record the position conf->start_next_window when the call
to wait_barrier() is made in make_request().
In allow_barrier(), we check the conf->start_next_window.
If r1bio->stat_next_window == conf->start_next_window, it means
there is no transition between NormIO2 and NormIO3.
If r1bio->start_next_window != conf->start_next_window, it mean
there was a transition between NormIO2 and NormIO3. There can only
have been one transition. So it only means the bio is old NormIO2.
For one bio, there may be many r1bio's. So we make sure
all the r1bio->start_next_window are the same value.
If we met blocked_dev in make_request(), it must call allow_barrier
and wait_barrier. So the former and the later value of
conf->start_next_window will be change.
If there are many r1bio's with differnet start_next_window,
for the relevant bio, it depend on the last value of r1bio.
It will cause error. To avoid this, we must wait for previous r1bios
to complete.

RAID1: avoid unnecessary spin locks in I/O barrier code
When I run a parallel reading performan testing on a md raid1 device with
two NVMe SSDs, I observe very bad throughput in supprise: by fio with 64KB
block size, 40 seq read I/O jobs, 128 iodepth, overall throughput is
only 2.7GB/s, this is around 50% of the idea performance number.
The perf reports locking contention happens at allow_barrier() and
wait_barrier() code,
- 41.41% fio [kernel.kallsyms] [k] _raw_spin_lock_irqsave
- _raw_spin_lock_irqsave
+ 89.92% allow_barrier
+ 9.34% __wake_up
- 37.30% fio [kernel.kallsyms] [k] _raw_spin_lock_irq
- _raw_spin_lock_irq
- 100.00% wait_barrier
The reason is, in these I/O barrier related functions,
- raise_barrier()
- lower_barrier()
- wait_barrier()
- allow_barrier()
They always hold conf->resync_lock firstly, even there are only regular
reading I/Os and no resync I/O at all. This is a huge performance penalty.
The solution is a lockless-like algorithm in I/O barrier code, and only
holding conf->resync_lock when it has to.
The original idea is from Hannes Reinecke, and Neil Brown provides
comments to improve it. I continue to work on it, and make the patch into
current form.
In the new simpler raid1 I/O barrier implementation, there are two
wait barrier functions,
- wait_barrier()
Which calls _wait_barrier(), is used for regular write I/O. If there is
resync I/O happening on the same I/O barrier bucket, or the whole
array is frozen, task will wait until no barrier on same barrier bucket,
or the whold array is unfreezed.
- wait_read_barrier()
Since regular read I/O won't interfere with resync I/O (read_balance()
will make sure only uptodate data will be read out), it is unnecessary
to wait for barrier in regular read I/Os, waiting in only necessary
when the whole array is frozen.
The operations on conf->nr_pending[idx], conf->nr_waiting[idx], conf->
barrier[idx] are very carefully designed in raise_barrier(),
lower_barrier(), _wait_barrier() and wait_read_barrier(), in order to
avoid unnecessary spin locks in these functions. Once conf->
nr_pengding[idx] is increased, a resync I/O with same barrier bucket index
has to wait in raise_barrier(). Then in _wait_barrier() if no barrier
raised in same barrier bucket index and array is not frozen, the regular
I/O doesn't need to hold conf->resync_lock, it can just increase
conf->nr_pending[idx], and return to its caller. wait_read_barrier() is
very similar to _wait_barrier(), the only difference is it only waits when
array is frozen. For heavy parallel reading I/Os, the lockless I/O barrier
code almostly gets rid of all spin lock cost.
This patch significantly improves raid1 reading peroformance. From my
testing, a raid1 device built by two NVMe SSD, runs fio with 64KB
blocksize, 40 seq read I/O jobs, 128 iodepth, overall throughput
increases from 2.7GB/s to 4.6GB/s (+70%).
Changelog

- Change conf->nr_queued[] to atomic_t.

RAID1: a new I/O barrier implementation to remove resync window
'Commit 79ef3a8aa1cb ("raid1: Rewrite the implementation of iobarrier.")'
introduces a sliding resync window for raid1 I/O barrier, this idea limits
I/O barriers to happen only inside a slidingresync window, for regular
I/Os out of this resync window they don't need to wait for barrier any
more. On large raid1 device, it helps a lot to improve parallel writing
I/O throughput when there are background resync I/Os performing at
same time.
The idea of sliding resync widow is awesome, but code complexity is a
challenge. Sliding resync window requires several variables to work
collectively, this is complexed and very hard to make it work correctly.
Just grep "Fixes: 79ef3a8aa1" in kernel git log, there are 8 more patches
to fix the original resync window patch. This is not the end, any further
related modification may easily introduce more regreassion.
Therefore I decide to implement a much simpler raid1 I/O barrier, by
removing resync window code, I believe life will be much easier.
The brief idea of the simpler barrier is,
- Do not maintain a global unique resync window
- Use multiple hash buckets to reduce I/O barrier conflicts, regular
I/O only has to wait for a resync I/O when both them have same barrier
bucket index, vice versa.
- I/O barrier can be reduced to an acceptable number if there are enough
barrier buckets
Here I explain how the barrier buckets are designed,
- BARRIER_UNIT_SECTOR_SIZE
The whole LBA address space of a raid1 device is divided into multiple
barrier units, by the size of BARRIER_UNIT_SECTOR_SIZE.
Bio requests won't go across border of barrier unit size, that means
maximum bio size is BARRIER_UNIT_SECTOR_SIZE<<9 (64MB) in bytes.
For random I/O 64MB is large enough for both read and write requests,
for sequential I/O considering underlying block layer may merge them
into larger requests, 64MB is still good enough.
Neil also points out that for resync operation, "we want the resync to
move from region to region fairly quickly so that the slowness caused
by having to synchronize with the resync is averaged out over a fairly
small time frame". For full speed resync, 64MB should take less then 1
second. When resync is competing with other I/O, it could take up a few
minutes. Therefore 64MB size is fairly good range for resync.
- BARRIER_BUCKETS_NR
There are BARRIER_BUCKETS_NR buckets in total, which is defined by,
#define BARRIER_BUCKETS_NR_BITS (PAGE_SHIFT - 2)
#define BARRIER_BUCKETS_NR (1<<BARRIER_BUCKETS_NR_BITS)
this patch makes the bellowed members of struct r1conf from integer
to array of integers,
- int nr_pending;
- int nr_waiting;
- int nr_queued;
- int barrier;
+ int *nr_pending;
+ int *nr_waiting;
+ int *nr_queued;
+ int *barrier;
number of the array elements is defined as BARRIER_BUCKETS_NR. For 4KB
kernel space page size, (PAGE_SHIFT - 2) indecates there are 1024 I/O
barrier buckets, and each array of integers occupies single memory page.
1024 means for a request which is smaller than the I/O barrier unit size
has ~0.1% chance to wait for resync to pause, which is quite a small
enough fraction. Also requesting single memory page is more friendly to
kernel page allocator than larger memory size.
- I/O barrier bucket is indexed by bio start sector
If multiple I/O requests hit different I/O barrier units, they only need
to compete I/O barrier with other I/Os which hit the same I/O barrier
bucket index with each other. The index of a barrier bucket which a
bio should look for is calculated by sector_to_idx() which is defined
in raid1.h as an inline function,
static inline int sector_to_idx(sector_t sector)
{
return hash_long(sector >> BARRIER_UNIT_SECTOR_BITS,
BARRIER_BUCKETS_NR_BITS);
}
Here sector_nr is the start sector number of a bio.
- Single bio won't go across boundary of a I/O barrier unit
If a request goes across boundary of barrier unit, it will be split. A
bio may be split in raid1_make_request() or raid1_sync_request(), if
sectors returned by align_to_barrier_unit_end() is smaller than
original bio size.
Comparing to single sliding resync window,
- Currently resync I/O grows linearly, therefore regular and resync I/O
will conflict within a single barrier units. So the I/O behavior is
similar to single sliding resync window.
- But a barrier unit bucket is shared by all barrier units with identical
barrier uinit index, the probability of conflict might be higher
than single sliding resync window, in condition that writing I/Os
always hit barrier units which have identical barrier bucket indexs with
the resync I/Os. This is a very rare condition in real I/O work loads,
I cannot imagine how it could happen in practice.
- Therefore we can achieve a good enough low conflict rate with much
simpler barrier algorithm and implementation.
There are two changes should be noticed,
- In raid1d(), I change the code to decrease conf->nr_pending[idx] into
single loop, it looks like this,
spin_lock_irqsave(&conf->device_lock, flags);
conf->nr_queued[idx]--;
spin_unlock_irqrestore(&conf->device_lock, flags);
This change generates more spin lock operations, but in next patch of
this patch set, it will be replaced by a single line code,
atomic_dec(&conf->nr_queueud[idx]);
So we don't need to worry about spin lock cost here.
- Mainline raid1 code split original raid1_make_request() into
raid1_read_request() and raid1_write_request(). If the original bio
goes across an I/O barrier unit size, this bio will be split before
calling raid1_read_request() or raid1_write_request(), this change
the code logic more simple and clear.
- In this patch wait_barrier() is moved from raid1_make_request() to
raid1_write_request(). In raid_read_request(), original wait_barrier()
is replaced by raid1_read_request().
The differnece is wait_read_barrier() only waits if array is frozen,
using different barrier function in different code path makes the code
more clean and easy to read.

raid1: Rewrite the implementation of iobarrier.
There is an iobarrier in raid1 because of contention between normal IO and
resync IO. It suspends all normal IO when resync/recovery happens.
However if normal IO is out side the resync window, there is no contention.
So this patch changes the barrier mechanism to only block IO that
could contend with the resync that is currently happening.
We partition the whole space into five parts.
|---------|-----------|------------|----------------|-------|
start next_resync start_next_window end_window
start + RESYNC_WINDOW = next_resync
next_resync + NEXT_NORMALIO_DISTANCE = start_next_window
start_next_window + NEXT_NORMALIO_DISTANCE = end_window
Firstly we introduce some concepts:
1 - RESYNC_WINDOW: For resync, there are 32 resync requests at most at the
same time. A sync request is RESYNC_BLOCK_SIZE(64*1024).
So the RESYNC_WINDOW is 32 * RESYNC_BLOCK_SIZE, that is 2MB.
2 - NEXT_NORMALIO_DISTANCE: the distance between next_resync
and start_next_window. It also indicates the distance between
start_next_window and end_window.
It is currently 3 * RESYNC_WINDOW_SIZE but could be tuned if
this turned out not to be optimal.
3 - next_resync: the next sector at which we will do sync IO.
4 - start: a position which is at most RESYNC_WINDOW before
next_resync.
5 - start_next_window: a position which is NEXT_NORMALIO_DISTANCE
beyond next_resync. Normal-io after this position doesn't need to
wait for resync-io to complete.
6 - end_window: a position which is 2 * NEXT_NORMALIO_DISTANCE beyond
next_resync. This also doesn't need to wait, but is counted
differently.
7 - current_window_requests: the count of normalIO between
start_next_window and end_window.
8 - next_window_requests: the count of normalIO after end_window.
NormalIO will be partitioned into four types:
NormIO1: the end sector of bio is smaller or equal the start
NormIO2: the start sector of bio larger or equal to end_window
NormIO3: the start sector of bio larger or equal to
start_next_window.
NormIO4: the location between start_next_window and end_window
|--------|-----------|--------------------|----------------|-------------|
| start | next_resync | start_next_window | end_window |
NormIO1 NormIO4 NormIO4 NormIO3 NormIO2
For NormIO1, we don't need any io barrier.
For NormIO4, we used a similar approach to the original iobarrier
mechanism. The normalIO and resyncIO must be kept separate.
For NormIO2/3, we add two fields to struct r1conf: "current_window_requests"
and "next_window_requests". They indicate the count of active
requests in the two window.
For these, we don't wait for resync io to complete.
For resync action, if there are NormIO4s, we must wait for it.
If not, we can proceed.
But if resync action reaches start_next_window and
current_window_requests > 0 (that is there are NormIO3s), we must
wait until the current_window_requests becomes zero.
When current_window_requests becomes zero, start_next_window also
moves forward. Then current_window_requests will replaced by
next_window_requests.
There is a problem which when and how to change from NormIO2 to
NormIO3. Only then can sync action progress.
We add a field in struct r1conf "start_next_window".
A: if start_next_window == MaxSector, it means there are no NormIO2/3.
So start_next_window = next_resync + NEXT_NORMALIO_DISTANCE
B: if current_window_requests == 0 && next_window_requests != 0, it
means start_next_window move to end_window
There is another problem which how to differentiate between
old NormIO2(now it is NormIO3) and NormIO2.
For example, there are many bios which are NormIO2 and a bio which is
NormIO3. NormIO3 firstly completed, so the bios of NormIO2 became NormIO3.
We add a field in struct r1bio "start_next_window".
This is used to record the position conf->start_next_window when the call
to wait_barrier() is made in make_request().
In allow_barrier(), we check the conf->start_next_window.
If r1bio->stat_next_window == conf->start_next_window, it means
there is no transition between NormIO2 and NormIO3.
If r1bio->start_next_window != conf->start_next_window, it mean
there was a transition between NormIO2 and NormIO3. There can only
have been one transition. So it only means the bio is old NormIO2.
For one bio, there may be many r1bio's. So we make sure
all the r1bio->start_next_window are the same value.
If we met blocked_dev in make_request(), it must call allow_barrier
and wait_barrier. So the former and the later value of
conf->start_next_window will be change.
If there are many r1bio's with differnet start_next_window,
for the relevant bio, it depend on the last value of r1bio.
It will cause error. To avoid this, we must wait for previous r1bios
to complete.

RAID1: a new I/O barrier implementation to remove resync window
'Commit 79ef3a8aa1cb ("raid1: Rewrite the implementation of iobarrier.")'
introduces a sliding resync window for raid1 I/O barrier, this idea limits
I/O barriers to happen only inside a slidingresync window, for regular
I/Os out of this resync window they don't need to wait for barrier any
more. On large raid1 device, it helps a lot to improve parallel writing
I/O throughput when there are background resync I/Os performing at
same time.
The idea of sliding resync widow is awesome, but code complexity is a
challenge. Sliding resync window requires several variables to work
collectively, this is complexed and very hard to make it work correctly.
Just grep "Fixes: 79ef3a8aa1" in kernel git log, there are 8 more patches
to fix the original resync window patch. This is not the end, any further
related modification may easily introduce more regreassion.
Therefore I decide to implement a much simpler raid1 I/O barrier, by
removing resync window code, I believe life will be much easier.
The brief idea of the simpler barrier is,
- Do not maintain a global unique resync window
- Use multiple hash buckets to reduce I/O barrier conflicts, regular
I/O only has to wait for a resync I/O when both them have same barrier
bucket index, vice versa.
- I/O barrier can be reduced to an acceptable number if there are enough
barrier buckets
Here I explain how the barrier buckets are designed,
- BARRIER_UNIT_SECTOR_SIZE
The whole LBA address space of a raid1 device is divided into multiple
barrier units, by the size of BARRIER_UNIT_SECTOR_SIZE.
Bio requests won't go across border of barrier unit size, that means
maximum bio size is BARRIER_UNIT_SECTOR_SIZE<<9 (64MB) in bytes.
For random I/O 64MB is large enough for both read and write requests,
for sequential I/O considering underlying block layer may merge them
into larger requests, 64MB is still good enough.
Neil also points out that for resync operation, "we want the resync to
move from region to region fairly quickly so that the slowness caused
by having to synchronize with the resync is averaged out over a fairly
small time frame". For full speed resync, 64MB should take less then 1
second. When resync is competing with other I/O, it could take up a few
minutes. Therefore 64MB size is fairly good range for resync.
- BARRIER_BUCKETS_NR
There are BARRIER_BUCKETS_NR buckets in total, which is defined by,
#define BARRIER_BUCKETS_NR_BITS (PAGE_SHIFT - 2)
#define BARRIER_BUCKETS_NR (1<<BARRIER_BUCKETS_NR_BITS)
this patch makes the bellowed members of struct r1conf from integer
to array of integers,
- int nr_pending;
- int nr_waiting;
- int nr_queued;
- int barrier;
+ int *nr_pending;
+ int *nr_waiting;
+ int *nr_queued;
+ int *barrier;
number of the array elements is defined as BARRIER_BUCKETS_NR. For 4KB
kernel space page size, (PAGE_SHIFT - 2) indecates there are 1024 I/O
barrier buckets, and each array of integers occupies single memory page.
1024 means for a request which is smaller than the I/O barrier unit size
has ~0.1% chance to wait for resync to pause, which is quite a small
enough fraction. Also requesting single memory page is more friendly to
kernel page allocator than larger memory size.
- I/O barrier bucket is indexed by bio start sector
If multiple I/O requests hit different I/O barrier units, they only need
to compete I/O barrier with other I/Os which hit the same I/O barrier
bucket index with each other. The index of a barrier bucket which a
bio should look for is calculated by sector_to_idx() which is defined
in raid1.h as an inline function,
static inline int sector_to_idx(sector_t sector)
{
return hash_long(sector >> BARRIER_UNIT_SECTOR_BITS,
BARRIER_BUCKETS_NR_BITS);
}
Here sector_nr is the start sector number of a bio.
- Single bio won't go across boundary of a I/O barrier unit
If a request goes across boundary of barrier unit, it will be split. A
bio may be split in raid1_make_request() or raid1_sync_request(), if
sectors returned by align_to_barrier_unit_end() is smaller than
original bio size.
Comparing to single sliding resync window,
- Currently resync I/O grows linearly, therefore regular and resync I/O
will conflict within a single barrier units. So the I/O behavior is
similar to single sliding resync window.
- But a barrier unit bucket is shared by all barrier units with identical
barrier uinit index, the probability of conflict might be higher
than single sliding resync window, in condition that writing I/Os
always hit barrier units which have identical barrier bucket indexs with
the resync I/Os. This is a very rare condition in real I/O work loads,
I cannot imagine how it could happen in practice.
- Therefore we can achieve a good enough low conflict rate with much
simpler barrier algorithm and implementation.
There are two changes should be noticed,
- In raid1d(), I change the code to decrease conf->nr_pending[idx] into
single loop, it looks like this,
spin_lock_irqsave(&conf->device_lock, flags);
conf->nr_queued[idx]--;
spin_unlock_irqrestore(&conf->device_lock, flags);
This change generates more spin lock operations, but in next patch of
this patch set, it will be replaced by a single line code,
atomic_dec(&conf->nr_queueud[idx]);
So we don't need to worry about spin lock cost here.
- Mainline raid1 code split original raid1_make_request() into
raid1_read_request() and raid1_write_request(). If the original bio
goes across an I/O barrier unit size, this bio will be split before
calling raid1_read_request() or raid1_write_request(), this change
the code logic more simple and clear.
- In this patch wait_barrier() is moved from raid1_make_request() to
raid1_write_request(). In raid_read_request(), original wait_barrier()
is replaced by raid1_read_request().
The differnece is wait_read_barrier() only waits if array is frozen,
using different barrier function in different code path makes the code
more clean and easy to read.

raid1: Rewrite the implementation of iobarrier.
There is an iobarrier in raid1 because of contention between normal IO and
resync IO. It suspends all normal IO when resync/recovery happens.
However if normal IO is out side the resync window, there is no contention.
So this patch changes the barrier mechanism to only block IO that
could contend with the resync that is currently happening.
We partition the whole space into five parts.
|---------|-----------|------------|----------------|-------|
start next_resync start_next_window end_window
start + RESYNC_WINDOW = next_resync
next_resync + NEXT_NORMALIO_DISTANCE = start_next_window
start_next_window + NEXT_NORMALIO_DISTANCE = end_window
Firstly we introduce some concepts:
1 - RESYNC_WINDOW: For resync, there are 32 resync requests at most at the
same time. A sync request is RESYNC_BLOCK_SIZE(64*1024).
So the RESYNC_WINDOW is 32 * RESYNC_BLOCK_SIZE, that is 2MB.
2 - NEXT_NORMALIO_DISTANCE: the distance between next_resync
and start_next_window. It also indicates the distance between
start_next_window and end_window.
It is currently 3 * RESYNC_WINDOW_SIZE but could be tuned if
this turned out not to be optimal.
3 - next_resync: the next sector at which we will do sync IO.
4 - start: a position which is at most RESYNC_WINDOW before
next_resync.
5 - start_next_window: a position which is NEXT_NORMALIO_DISTANCE
beyond next_resync. Normal-io after this position doesn't need to
wait for resync-io to complete.
6 - end_window: a position which is 2 * NEXT_NORMALIO_DISTANCE beyond
next_resync. This also doesn't need to wait, but is counted
differently.
7 - current_window_requests: the count of normalIO between
start_next_window and end_window.
8 - next_window_requests: the count of normalIO after end_window.
NormalIO will be partitioned into four types:
NormIO1: the end sector of bio is smaller or equal the start
NormIO2: the start sector of bio larger or equal to end_window
NormIO3: the start sector of bio larger or equal to
start_next_window.

NormIO1 NormIO4 NormIO4 NormIO3 NormIO2
For NormIO1, we don't need any io barrier.
For NormIO4, we used a similar approach to the original iobarrier
mechanism. The normalIO and resyncIO must be kept separate.
For NormIO2/3, we add two fields to struct r1conf: "current_window_requests"
and "next_window_requests". They indicate the count of active
requests in the two window.
For these, we don't wait for resync io to complete.
For resync action, if there are NormIO4s, we must wait for it.
If not, we can proceed.
But if resync action reaches start_next_window and
current_window_requests > 0 (that is there are NormIO3s), we must
wait until the current_window_requests becomes zero.
When current_window_requests becomes zero, start_next_window also
moves forward. Then current_window_requests will replaced by
next_window_requests.
There is a problem which when and how to change from NormIO2 to
NormIO3. Only then can sync action progress.
We add a field in struct r1conf "start_next_window".
A: if start_next_window == MaxSector, it means there are no NormIO2/3.
So start_next_window = next_resync + NEXT_NORMALIO_DISTANCE
B: if current_window_requests == 0 && next_window_requests != 0, it
means start_next_window move to end_window
There is another problem which how to differentiate between
old NormIO2(now it is NormIO3) and NormIO2.
For example, there are many bios which are NormIO2 and a bio which is
NormIO3. NormIO3 firstly completed, so the bios of NormIO2 became NormIO3.
We add a field in struct r1bio "start_next_window".
This is used to record the position conf->start_next_window when the call
to wait_barrier() is made in make_request().
In allow_barrier(), we check the conf->start_next_window.
If r1bio->stat_next_window == conf->start_next_window, it means
there is no transition between NormIO2 and NormIO3.
If r1bio->start_next_window != conf->start_next_window, it mean
there was a transition between NormIO2 and NormIO3. There can only
have been one transition. So it only means the bio is old NormIO2.
For one bio, there may be many r1bio's. So we make sure
all the r1bio->start_next_window are the same value.
If we met blocked_dev in make_request(), it must call allow_barrier
and wait_barrier. So the former and the later value of
conf->start_next_window will be change.
If there are many r1bio's with differnet start_next_window,
for the relevant bio, it depend on the last value of r1bio.
It will cause error. To avoid this, we must wait for previous r1bios
to complete.

RAID1: avoid unnecessary spin locks in I/O barrier code
When I run a parallel reading performan testing on a md raid1 device with
two NVMe SSDs, I observe very bad throughput in supprise: by fio with 64KB
block size, 40 seq read I/O jobs, 128 iodepth, overall throughput is
only 2.7GB/s, this is around 50% of the idea performance number.
The perf reports locking contention happens at allow_barrier() and
wait_barrier() code,
- 41.41% fio [kernel.kallsyms] [k] _raw_spin_lock_irqsave
- _raw_spin_lock_irqsave
+ 89.92% allow_barrier
+ 9.34% __wake_up
- 37.30% fio [kernel.kallsyms] [k] _raw_spin_lock_irq
- _raw_spin_lock_irq
- 100.00% wait_barrier
The reason is, in these I/O barrier related functions,
- raise_barrier()
- lower_barrier()
- wait_barrier()
- allow_barrier()
They always hold conf->resync_lock firstly, even there are only regular
reading I/Os and no resync I/O at all. This is a huge performance penalty.
The solution is a lockless-like algorithm in I/O barrier code, and only
holding conf->resync_lock when it has to.
The original idea is from Hannes Reinecke, and Neil Brown provides
comments to improve it. I continue to work on it, and make the patch into
current form.
In the new simpler raid1 I/O barrier implementation, there are two
wait barrier functions,
- wait_barrier()
Which calls _wait_barrier(), is used for regular write I/O. If there is
resync I/O happening on the same I/O barrier bucket, or the whole
array is frozen, task will wait until no barrier on same barrier bucket,
or the whold array is unfreezed.
- wait_read_barrier()
Since regular read I/O won't interfere with resync I/O (read_balance()
will make sure only uptodate data will be read out), it is unnecessary
to wait for barrier in regular read I/Os, waiting in only necessary
when the whole array is frozen.
The operations on conf->nr_pending[idx], conf->nr_waiting[idx], conf->
barrier[idx] are very carefully designed in raise_barrier(),
lower_barrier(), _wait_barrier() and wait_read_barrier(), in order to
avoid unnecessary spin locks in these functions. Once conf->
nr_pengding[idx] is increased, a resync I/O with same barrier bucket index
has to wait in raise_barrier(). Then in _wait_barrier() if no barrier
raised in same barrier bucket index and array is not frozen, the regular
I/O doesn't need to hold conf->resync_lock, it can just increase
conf->nr_pending[idx], and return to its caller. wait_read_barrier() is
very similar to _wait_barrier(), the only difference is it only waits when
array is frozen. For heavy parallel reading I/Os, the lockless I/O barrier
code almostly gets rid of all spin lock cost.
This patch significantly improves raid1 reading peroformance. From my
testing, a raid1 device built by two NVMe SSD, runs fio with 64KB
blocksize, 40 seq read I/O jobs, 128 iodepth, overall throughput
increases from 2.7GB/s to 4.6GB/s (+70%).
Changelog
V4:
- Change conf->nr_queued[] to atomic_t.

raid1: Rewrite the implementation of iobarrier.
There is an iobarrier in raid1 because of contention between normal IO and
resync IO. It suspends all normal IO when resync/recovery happens.
However if normal IO is out side the resync window, there is no contention.
So this patch changes the barrier mechanism to only block IO that
could contend with the resync that is currently happening.
We partition the whole space into five parts.
|---------|-----------|------------|----------------|-------|
start next_resync start_next_window end_window
start + RESYNC_WINDOW = next_resync
next_resync + NEXT_NORMALIO_DISTANCE = start_next_window
start_next_window + NEXT_NORMALIO_DISTANCE = end_window
Firstly we introduce some concepts:
1 - RESYNC_WINDOW: For resync, there are 32 resync requests at most at the
same time. A sync request is RESYNC_BLOCK_SIZE(64*1024).
So the RESYNC_WINDOW is 32 * RESYNC_BLOCK_SIZE, that is 2MB.
2 - NEXT_NORMALIO_DISTANCE: the distance between next_resync
and start_next_window. It also indicates the distance between
start_next_window and end_window.
It is currently 3 * RESYNC_WINDOW_SIZE but could be tuned if
this turned out not to be optimal.
3 - next_resync: the next sector at which we will do sync IO.
4 - start: a position which is at most RESYNC_WINDOW before
next_resync.
5 - start_next_window: a position which is NEXT_NORMALIO_DISTANCE
beyond next_resync. Normal-io after this position doesn't need to
wait for resync-io to complete.
6 - end_window: a position which is 2 * NEXT_NORMALIO_DISTANCE beyond
next_resync. This also doesn't need to wait, but is counted
differently.
7 - current_window_requests: the count of normalIO between
start_next_window and end_window.
8 - next_window_requests: the count of normalIO after end_window.
NormalIO will be partitioned into four types:
NormIO1: the end sector of bio is smaller or equal the start
NormIO2: the start sector of bio larger or equal to end_window
NormIO3: the start sector of bio larger or equal to
start_next_window.
NormIO4: the location between start_next_window and end_window
|--------|-----------|--------------------|----------------|-------------|
| start | next_resync | start_next_window | end_window |
NormIO1 NormIO4 NormIO4 NormIO3 NormIO2
For NormIO1, we don't need any io barrier.
For NormIO4, we used a similar approach to the original iobarrier
mechanism. The normalIO and resyncIO must be kept separate.
For NormIO2/3, we add two fields to struct r1conf: "current_window_requests"
and "next_window_requests". They indicate the count of active
requests in the two window.
For these, we don't wait for resync io to complete.
For resync action, if there are NormIO4s, we must wait for it.
If not, we can proceed.
But if resync action reaches start_next_window and
current_window_requests > 0 (that is there are NormIO3s), we must
wait until the current_window_requests becomes zero.
When current_window_requests becomes zero, start_next_window also
moves forward. Then current_window_requests will replaced by
next_window_requests.
There is a problem which when and how to change from NormIO2 to
NormIO3. Only then can sync action progress.
We add a field in struct r1conf "start_next_window".
A: if start_next_window == MaxSector, it means there are no NormIO2/3.
So start_next_window = next_resync + NEXT_NORMALIO_DISTANCE
B: if current_window_requests == 0 && next_window_requests != 0, it
means start_next_window move to end_window
There is another problem which how to differentiate between
old NormIO2(now it is NormIO3) and NormIO2.
For example, there are many bios which are NormIO2 and a bio which is
NormIO3. NormIO3 firstly completed, so the bios of NormIO2 became NormIO3.
We add a field in struct r1bio "start_next_window".
This is used to record the position conf->start_next_window when the call
to wait_barrier() is made in make_request().
In allow_barrier(), we check the conf->start_next_window.
If r1bio->stat_next_window == conf->start_next_window, it means
there is no transition between NormIO2 and NormIO3.
If r1bio->start_next_window != conf->start_next_window, it mean
there was a transition between NormIO2 and NormIO3. There can only
have been one transition. So it only means the bio is old NormIO2.
For one bio, there may be many r1bio's. So we make sure
all the r1bio->start_next_window are the same value.
If we met blocked_dev in make_request(), it must call allow_barrier
and wait_barrier. So the former and the later value of
conf->start_next_window will be change.
If there are many r1bio's with differnet start_next_window,
for the relevant bio, it depend on the last value of r1bio.
It will cause error. To avoid this, we must wait for previous r1bios
to complete.

RAID1: avoid unnecessary spin locks in I/O barrier code
When I run a parallel reading performan testing on a md raid1 device with
two NVMe SSDs, I observe very bad throughput in supprise: by fio with 64KB
block size, 40 seq read I/O jobs, 128 iodepth, overall throughput is
only 2.7GB/s, this is around 50% of the idea performance number.
The perf reports locking contention happens at allow_barrier() and
wait_barrier() code,
- 41.41% fio [kernel.kallsyms] [k] _raw_spin_lock_irqsave
- _raw_spin_lock_irqsave
+ 89.92% allow_barrier
+ 9.34% __wake_up
- 37.30% fio [kernel.kallsyms] [k] _raw_spin_lock_irq
- _raw_spin_lock_irq
- 100.00% wait_barrier
The reason is, in these I/O barrier related functions,
- raise_barrier()
- lower_barrier()
- wait_barrier()
- allow_barrier()
They always hold conf->resync_lock firstly, even there are only regular
reading I/Os and no resync I/O at all. This is a huge performance penalty.
The solution is a lockless-like algorithm in I/O barrier code, and only
holding conf->resync_lock when it has to.
The original idea is from Hannes Reinecke, and Neil Brown provides
comments to improve it. I continue to work on it, and make the patch into
current form.
In the new simpler raid1 I/O barrier implementation, there are two
wait barrier functions,
- wait_barrier()
Which calls _wait_barrier(), is used for regular write I/O. If there is
resync I/O happening on the same I/O barrier bucket, or the whole
array is frozen, task will wait until no barrier on same barrier bucket,
or the whold array is unfreezed.
- wait_read_barrier()
Since regular read I/O won't interfere with resync I/O (read_balance()
will make sure only uptodate data will be read out), it is unnecessary
to wait for barrier in regular read I/Os, waiting in only necessary
when the whole array is frozen.
The operations on conf->nr_pending[idx], conf->nr_waiting[idx], conf->
barrier[idx] are very carefully designed in raise_barrier(),
lower_barrier(), _wait_barrier() and wait_read_barrier(), in order to
avoid unnecessary spin locks in these functions. Once conf->
nr_pengding[idx] is increased, a resync I/O with same barrier bucket index
has to wait in raise_barrier(). Then in _wait_barrier() if no barrier
raised in same barrier bucket index and array is not frozen, the regular

RAID1: avoid unnecessary spin locks in I/O barrier code
When I run a parallel reading performan testing on a md raid1 device with
two NVMe SSDs, I observe very bad throughput in supprise: by fio with 64KB
block size, 40 seq read I/O jobs, 128 iodepth, overall throughput is
only 2.7GB/s, this is around 50% of the idea performance number.
The perf reports locking contention happens at allow_barrier() and
wait_barrier() code,
- 41.41% fio [kernel.kallsyms] [k] _raw_spin_lock_irqsave
- _raw_spin_lock_irqsave
+ 89.92% allow_barrier
+ 9.34% __wake_up
- 37.30% fio [kernel.kallsyms] [k] _raw_spin_lock_irq
- _raw_spin_lock_irq
- 100.00% wait_barrier
The reason is, in these I/O barrier related functions,
- raise_barrier()
- lower_barrier()
- wait_barrier()
- allow_barrier()
They always hold conf->resync_lock firstly, even there are only regular
reading I/Os and no resync I/O at all. This is a huge performance penalty.
The solution is a lockless-like algorithm in I/O barrier code, and only
holding conf->resync_lock when it has to.
The original idea is from Hannes Reinecke, and Neil Brown provides
comments to improve it. I continue to work on it, and make the patch into
current form.
In the new simpler raid1 I/O barrier implementation, there are two
wait barrier functions,
- wait_barrier()
Which calls _wait_barrier(), is used for regular write I/O. If there is
resync I/O happening on the same I/O barrier bucket, or the whole
array is frozen, task will wait until no barrier on same barrier bucket,
or the whold array is unfreezed.
- wait_read_barrier()
Since regular read I/O won't interfere with resync I/O (read_balance()
will make sure only uptodate data will be read out), it is unnecessary
to wait for barrier in regular read I/Os, waiting in only necessary
when the whole array is frozen.
The operations on conf->nr_pending[idx], conf->nr_waiting[idx], conf->
barrier[idx] are very carefully designed in raise_barrier(),
lower_barrier(), _wait_barrier() and wait_read_barrier(), in order to
avoid unnecessary spin locks in these functions. Once conf->
nr_pengding[idx] is increased, a resync I/O with same barrier bucket index
has to wait in raise_barrier(). Then in _wait_barrier() if no barrier
raised in same barrier bucket index and array is not frozen, the regular
I/O doesn't need to hold conf->resync_lock, it can just increase
conf->nr_pending[idx], and return to its caller. wait_read_barrier() is
very similar to _wait_barrier(), the only difference is it only waits when
array is frozen. For heavy parallel reading I/Os, the lockless I/O barrier
code almostly gets rid of all spin lock cost.
This patch significantly improves raid1 reading peroformance. From my
testing, a raid1 device built by two NVMe SSD, runs fio with 64KB
blocksize, 40 seq read I/O jobs, 128 iodepth, overall throughput
increases from 2.7GB/s to 4.6GB/s (+70%).
Changelog
V4:
- Change conf->nr_queued[] to atomic_t.
- Define BARRIER_BUCKETS_NR_BITS by (PAGE_SHIFT - ilog2(sizeof(atomic_t)))
V3:
- Add smp_mb__after_atomic() as Shaohua and Neil suggested.
- Change conf->nr_queued[] from atomic_t to int.
- Change conf->array_frozen from atomic_t back to int, and use
READ_ONCE(conf->array_frozen) to check value of conf->array_frozen
in _wait_barrier() and wait_read_barrier().
- In _wait_barrier() and wait_read_barrier(), add a call to
wake_up(&conf->wait_barrier) after atomic_dec(&conf->nr_pending[idx]),
to fix a deadlock between _wait_barrier()/wait_read_barrier and
freeze_array().
V2:
- Remove a spin_lock/unlock pair in raid1d().
- Add more code comments to explain why there is no racy when checking two
atomic_t variables at same time.
V1:
- Original RFC patch for comments.

RAID1: a new I/O barrier implementation to remove resync window
'Commit 79ef3a8aa1cb ("raid1: Rewrite the implementation of iobarrier.")'
introduces a sliding resync window for raid1 I/O barrier, this idea limits
I/O barriers to happen only inside a slidingresync window, for regular
I/Os out of this resync window they don't need to wait for barrier any
more. On large raid1 device, it helps a lot to improve parallel writing
I/O throughput when there are background resync I/Os performing at
same time.
The idea of sliding resync widow is awesome, but code complexity is a
challenge. Sliding resync window requires several variables to work
collectively, this is complexed and very hard to make it work correctly.
Just grep "Fixes: 79ef3a8aa1" in kernel git log, there are 8 more patches
to fix the original resync window patch. This is not the end, any further
related modification may easily introduce more regreassion.
Therefore I decide to implement a much simpler raid1 I/O barrier, by
removing resync window code, I believe life will be much easier.
The brief idea of the simpler barrier is,
- Do not maintain a global unique resync window
- Use multiple hash buckets to reduce I/O barrier conflicts, regular
I/O only has to wait for a resync I/O when both them have same barrier
bucket index, vice versa.
- I/O barrier can be reduced to an acceptable number if there are enough
barrier buckets
Here I explain how the barrier buckets are designed,
- BARRIER_UNIT_SECTOR_SIZE
The whole LBA address space of a raid1 device is divided into multiple
barrier units, by the size of BARRIER_UNIT_SECTOR_SIZE.
Bio requests won't go across border of barrier unit size, that means
maximum bio size is BARRIER_UNIT_SECTOR_SIZE<<9 (64MB) in bytes.
For random I/O 64MB is large enough for both read and write requests,
for sequential I/O considering underlying block layer may merge them
into larger requests, 64MB is still good enough.
Neil also points out that for resync operation, "we want the resync to
move from region to region fairly quickly so that the slowness caused
by having to synchronize with the resync is averaged out over a fairly
small time frame". For full speed resync, 64MB should take less then 1
second. When resync is competing with other I/O, it could take up a few
minutes. Therefore 64MB size is fairly good range for resync.
- BARRIER_BUCKETS_NR
There are BARRIER_BUCKETS_NR buckets in total, which is defined by,
#define BARRIER_BUCKETS_NR_BITS (PAGE_SHIFT - 2)
#define BARRIER_BUCKETS_NR (1<<BARRIER_BUCKETS_NR_BITS)
this patch makes the bellowed members of struct r1conf from integer
to array of integers,
- int nr_pending;
- int nr_waiting;
- int nr_queued;
- int barrier;
+ int *nr_pending;
+ int *nr_waiting;
+ int *nr_queued;
+ int *barrier;
number of the array elements is defined as BARRIER_BUCKETS_NR. For 4KB
kernel space page size, (PAGE_SHIFT - 2) indecates there are 1024 I/O
barrier buckets, and each array of integers occupies single memory page.
1024 means for a request which is smaller than the I/O barrier unit size
has ~0.1% chance to wait for resync to pause, which is quite a small
enough fraction. Also requesting single memory page is more friendly to
kernel page allocator than larger memory size.
- I/O barrier bucket is indexed by bio start sector
If multiple I/O requests hit different I/O barrier units, they only need
to compete I/O barrier with other I/Os which hit the same I/O barrier
bucket index with each other. The index of a barrier bucket which a
bio should look for is calculated by sector_to_idx() which is defined
in raid1.h as an inline function,
static inline int sector_to_idx(sector_t sector)
{
return hash_long(sector >> BARRIER_UNIT_SECTOR_BITS,
BARRIER_BUCKETS_NR_BITS);
}
Here sector_nr is the start sector number of a bio.
- Single bio won't go across boundary of a I/O barrier unit
If a request goes across boundary of barrier unit, it will be split. A
bio may be split in raid1_make_request() or raid1_sync_request(), if
sectors returned by align_to_barrier_unit_end() is smaller than
original bio size.
Comparing to single sliding resync window,
- Currently resync I/O grows linearly, therefore regular and resync I/O
will conflict within a single barrier units. So the I/O behavior is
similar to single sliding resync window.
- But a barrier unit bucket is shared by all barrier units with identical
barrier uinit index, the probability of conflict might be higher
than single sliding resync window, in condition that writing I/Os
always hit barrier units which have identical barrier bucket indexs with
the resync I/Os. This is a very rare condition in real I/O work loads,
I cannot imagine how it could happen in practice.
- Therefore we can achieve a good enough low conflict rate with much
simpler barrier algorithm and implementation.
There are two changes should be noticed,
- In raid1d(), I change the code to decrease conf->nr_pending[idx] into
single loop, it looks like this,
spin_lock_irqsave(&conf->device_lock, flags);
conf->nr_queued[idx]--;
spin_unlock_irqrestore(&conf->device_lock, flags);
This change generates more spin lock operations, but in next patch of
this patch set, it will be replaced by a single line code,
atomic_dec(&conf->nr_queueud[idx]);
So we don't need to worry about spin lock cost here.
- Mainline raid1 code split original raid1_make_request() into
raid1_read_request() and raid1_write_request(). If the original bio
goes across an I/O barrier unit size, this bio will be split before
calling raid1_read_request() or raid1_write_request(), this change
the code logic more simple and clear.
- In this patch wait_barrier() is moved from raid1_make_request() to
raid1_write_request(). In raid_read_request(), original wait_barrier()
is replaced by raid1_read_request().
The differnece is wait_read_barrier() only waits if array is frozen,
using different barrier function in different code path makes the code
more clean and easy to read.
Changelog
V4:
- Add alloc_r1bio() to remove redundant r1bio memory allocation code.

raid1: Rewrite the implementation of iobarrier.
There is an iobarrier in raid1 because of contention between normal IO and
resync IO. It suspends all normal IO when resync/recovery happens.
However if normal IO is out side the resync window, there is no contention.
So this patch changes the barrier mechanism to only block IO that
could contend with the resync that is currently happening.
We partition the whole space into five parts.
|---------|-----------|------------|----------------|-------|
start next_resync start_next_window end_window
start + RESYNC_WINDOW = next_resync
next_resync + NEXT_NORMALIO_DISTANCE = start_next_window
start_next_window + NEXT_NORMALIO_DISTANCE = end_window
Firstly we introduce some concepts:
1 - RESYNC_WINDOW: For resync, there are 32 resync requests at most at the
same time. A sync request is RESYNC_BLOCK_SIZE(64*1024).
So the RESYNC_WINDOW is 32 * RESYNC_BLOCK_SIZE, that is 2MB.
2 - NEXT_NORMALIO_DISTANCE: the distance between next_resync
and start_next_window. It also indicates the distance between
start_next_window and end_window.
It is currently 3 * RESYNC_WINDOW_SIZE but could be tuned if
this turned out not to be optimal.
3 - next_resync: the next sector at which we will do sync IO.
4 - start: a position which is at most RESYNC_WINDOW before
next_resync.
5 - start_next_window: a position which is NEXT_NORMALIO_DISTANCE
beyond next_resync. Normal-io after this position doesn't need to
wait for resync-io to complete.
6 - end_window: a position which is 2 * NEXT_NORMALIO_DISTANCE beyond
next_resync. This also doesn't need to wait, but is counted
differently.
7 - current_window_requests: the count of normalIO between
start_next_window and end_window.
8 - next_window_requests: the count of normalIO after end_window.
NormalIO will be partitioned into four types:
NormIO1: the end sector of bio is smaller or equal the start
NormIO2: the start sector of bio larger or equal to end_window
NormIO3: the start sector of bio larger or equal to
start_next_window.
NormIO4: the location between start_next_window and end_window
|--------|-----------|--------------------|----------------|-------------|
| start | next_resync | start_next_window | end_window |
NormIO1 NormIO4 NormIO4 NormIO3 NormIO2
For NormIO1, we don't need any io barrier.
For NormIO4, we used a similar approach to the original iobarrier
mechanism. The normalIO and resyncIO must be kept separate.
For NormIO2/3, we add two fields to struct r1conf: "current_window_requests"
and "next_window_requests". They indicate the count of active
requests in the two window.
For these, we don't wait for resync io to complete.
For resync action, if there are NormIO4s, we must wait for it.
If not, we can proceed.
But if resync action reaches start_next_window and
current_window_requests > 0 (that is there are NormIO3s), we must
wait until the current_window_requests becomes zero.
When current_window_requests becomes zero, start_next_window also
moves forward. Then current_window_requests will replaced by
next_window_requests.
There is a problem which when and how to change from NormIO2 to
NormIO3. Only then can sync action progress.
We add a field in struct r1conf "start_next_window".
A: if start_next_window == MaxSector, it means there are no NormIO2/3.
So start_next_window = next_resync + NEXT_NORMALIO_DISTANCE
B: if current_window_requests == 0 && next_window_requests != 0, it
means start_next_window move to end_window
There is another problem which how to differentiate between
old NormIO2(now it is NormIO3) and NormIO2.
For example, there are many bios which are NormIO2 and a bio which is
NormIO3. NormIO3 firstly completed, so the bios of NormIO2 became NormIO3.
We add a field in struct r1bio "start_next_window".
This is used to record the position conf->start_next_window when the call
to wait_barrier() is made in make_request().
In allow_barrier(), we check the conf->start_next_window.
If r1bio->stat_next_window == conf->start_next_window, it means
there is no transition between NormIO2 and NormIO3.
If r1bio->start_next_window != conf->start_next_window, it mean
there was a transition between NormIO2 and NormIO3. There can only
have been one transition. So it only means the bio is old NormIO2.
For one bio, there may be many r1bio's. So we make sure
all the r1bio->start_next_window are the same value.
If we met blocked_dev in make_request(), it must call allow_barrier
and wait_barrier. So the former and the later value of
conf->start_next_window will be change.
If there are many r1bio's with differnet start_next_window,
for the relevant bio, it depend on the last value of r1bio.
It will cause error. To avoid this, we must wait for previous r1bios
to complete.

same time. A sync request is RESYNC_BLOCK_SIZE(64*1024).
So the RESYNC_WINDOW is 32 * RESYNC_BLOCK_SIZE, that is 2MB.
2 - NEXT_NORMALIO_DISTANCE: the distance between next_resync
and start_next_window. It also indicates the distance between
start_next_window and end_window.
It is currently 3 * RESYNC_WINDOW_SIZE but could be tuned if
this turned out not to be optimal.
3 - next_resync: the next sector at which we will do sync IO.
4 - start: a position which is at most RESYNC_WINDOW before
next_resync.
5 - start_next_window: a position which is NEXT_NORMALIO_DISTANCE
beyond next_resync. Normal-io after this position doesn't need to
wait for resync-io to complete.
6 - end_window: a position which is 2 * NEXT_NORMALIO_DISTANCE beyond
next_resync. This also doesn't need to wait, but is counted
differently.
7 - current_window_requests: the count of normalIO between
start_next_window and end_window.
8 - next_window_requests: the count of normalIO after end_window.
NormalIO will be partitioned into four types:
NormIO1: the end sector of bio is smaller or equal the start
NormIO2: the start sector of bio larger or equal to end_window
NormIO3: the start sector of bio larger or equal to
start_next_window.
NormIO4: the location between start_next_window and end_window
|--------|-----------|--------------------|----------------|-------------|
| start | next_resync | start_next_window | end_window |
NormIO1 NormIO4 NormIO4 NormIO3 NormIO2
For NormIO1, we don't need any io barrier.
For NormIO4, we used a similar approach to the original iobarrier
mechanism. The normalIO and resyncIO must be kept separate.
For NormIO2/3, we add two fields to struct r1conf: "current_window_requests"
and "next_window_requests". They indicate the count of active
requests in the two window.
For these, we don't wait for resync io to complete.
For resync action, if there are NormIO4s, we must wait for it.
If not, we can proceed.
But if resync action reaches start_next_window and
current_window_requests > 0 (that is there are NormIO3s), we must
wait until the current_window_requests becomes zero.
When current_window_requests becomes zero, start_next_window also
moves forward. Then current_window_requests will replaced by
next_window_requests.
There is a problem which when and how to change from NormIO2 to
NormIO3. Only then can sync action progress.
We add a field in struct r1conf "start_next_window".
A: if start_next_window == MaxSector, it means there are no NormIO2/3.
So start_next_window = next_resync + NEXT_NORMALIO_DISTANCE
B: if current_window_requests == 0 && next_window_requests != 0, it
means start_next_window move to end_window
There is another problem which how to differentiate between
old NormIO2(now it is NormIO3) and NormIO2.
For example, there are many bios which are NormIO2 and a bio which is
NormIO3. NormIO3 firstly completed, so the bios of NormIO2 became NormIO3.
We add a field in struct r1bio "start_next_window".
This is used to record the position conf->start_next_window when the call
to wait_barrier() is made in make_request().
In allow_barrier(), we check the conf->start_next_window.
If r1bio->stat_next_window == conf->start_next_window, it means
there is no transition between NormIO2 and NormIO3.
If r1bio->start_next_window != conf->start_next_window, it mean
there was a transition between NormIO2 and NormIO3. There can only
have been one transition. So it only means the bio is old NormIO2.
For one bio, there may be many r1bio's. So we make sure
all the r1bio->start_next_window are the same value.
If we met blocked_dev in make_request(), it must call allow_barrier
and wait_barrier. So the former and the later value of
conf->start_next_window will be change.
If there are many r1bio's with differnet start_next_window,
for the relevant bio, it depend on the last value of r1bio.
It will cause error. To avoid this, we must wait for previous r1bios
to complete.

RAID1: a new I/O barrier implementation to remove resync window
'Commit 79ef3a8aa1cb ("raid1: Rewrite the implementation of iobarrier.")'
introduces a sliding resync window for raid1 I/O barrier, this idea limits
I/O barriers to happen only inside a slidingresync window, for regular
I/Os out of this resync window they don't need to wait for barrier any
more. On large raid1 device, it helps a lot to improve parallel writing
I/O throughput when there are background resync I/Os performing at
same time.
The idea of sliding resync widow is awesome, but code complexity is a
challenge. Sliding resync window requires several variables to work
collectively, this is complexed and very hard to make it work correctly.
Just grep "Fixes: 79ef3a8aa1" in kernel git log, there are 8 more patches
to fix the original resync window patch. This is not the end, any further
related modification may easily introduce more regreassion.
Therefore I decide to implement a much simpler raid1 I/O barrier, by
removing resync window code, I believe life will be much easier.
The brief idea of the simpler barrier is,
- Do not maintain a global unique resync window
- Use multiple hash buckets to reduce I/O barrier conflicts, regular
I/O only has to wait for a resync I/O when both them have same barrier
bucket index, vice versa.
- I/O barrier can be reduced to an acceptable number if there are enough
barrier buckets
Here I explain how the barrier buckets are designed,
- BARRIER_UNIT_SECTOR_SIZE
The whole LBA address space of a raid1 device is divided into multiple
barrier units, by the size of BARRIER_UNIT_SECTOR_SIZE.
Bio requests won't go across border of barrier unit size, that means
maximum bio size is BARRIER_UNIT_SECTOR_SIZE<<9 (64MB) in bytes.
For random I/O 64MB is large enough for both read and write requests,
for sequential I/O considering underlying block layer may merge them
into larger requests, 64MB is still good enough.
Neil also points out that for resync operation, "we want the resync to
move from region to region fairly quickly so that the slowness caused
by having to synchronize with the resync is averaged out over a fairly
small time frame". For full speed resync, 64MB should take less then 1
second. When resync is competing with other I/O, it could take up a few
minutes. Therefore 64MB size is fairly good range for resync.
- BARRIER_BUCKETS_NR
There are BARRIER_BUCKETS_NR buckets in total, which is defined by,
#define BARRIER_BUCKETS_NR_BITS (PAGE_SHIFT - 2)
#define BARRIER_BUCKETS_NR (1<<BARRIER_BUCKETS_NR_BITS)
this patch makes the bellowed members of struct r1conf from integer
to array of integers,
- int nr_pending;
- int nr_waiting;
- int nr_queued;
- int barrier;
+ int *nr_pending;
+ int *nr_waiting;
+ int *nr_queued;
+ int *barrier;
number of the array elements is defined as BARRIER_BUCKETS_NR. For 4KB
kernel space page size, (PAGE_SHIFT - 2) indecates there are 1024 I/O
barrier buckets, and each array of integers occupies single memory page.
1024 means for a request which is smaller than the I/O barrier unit size
has ~0.1% chance to wait for resync to pause, which is quite a small
enough fraction. Also requesting single memory page is more friendly to
kernel page allocator than larger memory size.
- I/O barrier bucket is indexed by bio start sector
If multiple I/O requests hit different I/O barrier units, they only need
to compete I/O barrier with other I/Os which hit the same I/O barrier
bucket index with each other. The index of a barrier bucket which a
bio should look for is calculated by sector_to_idx() which is defined
in raid1.h as an inline function,
static inline int sector_to_idx(sector_t sector)
{
return hash_long(sector >> BARRIER_UNIT_SECTOR_BITS,
BARRIER_BUCKETS_NR_BITS);
}
Here sector_nr is the start sector number of a bio.
- Single bio won't go across boundary of a I/O barrier unit
If a request goes across boundary of barrier unit, it will be split. A
bio may be split in raid1_make_request() or raid1_sync_request(), if
sectors returned by align_to_barrier_unit_end() is smaller than
original bio size.
Comparing to single sliding resync window,
- Currently resync I/O grows linearly, therefore regular and resync I/O
will conflict within a single barrier units. So the I/O behavior is
similar to single sliding resync window.
- But a barrier unit bucket is shared by all barrier units with identical
barrier uinit index, the probability of conflict might be higher
than single sliding resync window, in condition that writing I/Os
always hit barrier units which have identical barrier bucket indexs with
the resync I/Os. This is a very rare condition in real I/O work loads,
I cannot imagine how it could happen in practice.
- Therefore we can achieve a good enough low conflict rate with much
simpler barrier algorithm and implementation.
There are two changes should be noticed,
- In raid1d(), I change the code to decrease conf->nr_pending[idx] into
single loop, it looks like this,
spin_lock_irqsave(&conf->device_lock, flags);
conf->nr_queued[idx]--;
spin_unlock_irqrestore(&conf->device_lock, flags);
This change generates more spin lock operations, but in next patch of
this patch set, it will be replaced by a single line code,
atomic_dec(&conf->nr_queueud[idx]);
So we don't need to worry about spin lock cost here.
- Mainline raid1 code split original raid1_make_request() into
raid1_read_request() and raid1_write_request(). If the original bio
goes across an I/O barrier unit size, this bio will be split before
calling raid1_read_request() or raid1_write_request(), this change
the code logic more simple and clear.
- In this patch wait_barrier() is moved from raid1_make_request() to
raid1_write_request(). In raid_read_request(), original wait_barrier()
is replaced by raid1_read_request().
The differnece is wait_read_barrier() only waits if array is frozen,
using different barrier function in different code path makes the code
more clean and easy to read.

RAID1: avoid unnecessary spin locks in I/O barrier code
When I run a parallel reading performan testing on a md raid1 device with
two NVMe SSDs, I observe very bad throughput in supprise: by fio with 64KB
block size, 40 seq read I/O jobs, 128 iodepth, overall throughput is
only 2.7GB/s, this is around 50% of the idea performance number.
The perf reports locking contention happens at allow_barrier() and
wait_barrier() code,
- 41.41% fio [kernel.kallsyms] [k] _raw_spin_lock_irqsave
- _raw_spin_lock_irqsave
+ 89.92% allow_barrier
+ 9.34% __wake_up
- 37.30% fio [kernel.kallsyms] [k] _raw_spin_lock_irq
- _raw_spin_lock_irq
- 100.00% wait_barrier
The reason is, in these I/O barrier related functions,
- raise_barrier()
- lower_barrier()
- wait_barrier()
- allow_barrier()
They always hold conf->resync_lock firstly, even there are only regular
reading I/Os and no resync I/O at all. This is a huge performance penalty.
The solution is a lockless-like algorithm in I/O barrier code, and only
holding conf->resync_lock when it has to.
The original idea is from Hannes Reinecke, and Neil Brown provides
comments to improve it. I continue to work on it, and make the patch into
current form.
In the new simpler raid1 I/O barrier implementation, there are two
wait barrier functions,
- wait_barrier()
Which calls _wait_barrier(), is used for regular write I/O. If there is
resync I/O happening on the same I/O barrier bucket, or the whole
array is frozen, task will wait until no barrier on same barrier bucket,
or the whold array is unfreezed.
- wait_read_barrier()
Since regular read I/O won't interfere with resync I/O (read_balance()
will make sure only uptodate data will be read out), it is unnecessary
to wait for barrier in regular read I/Os, waiting in only necessary
when the whole array is frozen.
The operations on conf->nr_pending[idx], conf->nr_waiting[idx], conf->
barrier[idx] are very carefully designed in raise_barrier(),
lower_barrier(), _wait_barrier() and wait_read_barrier(), in order to
avoid unnecessary spin locks in these functions. Once conf->
nr_pengding[idx] is increased, a resync I/O with same barrier bucket index
has to wait in raise_barrier(). Then in _wait_barrier() if no barrier
raised in same barrier bucket index and array is not frozen, the regular
I/O doesn't need to hold conf->resync_lock, it can just increase
conf->nr_pending[idx], and return to its caller. wait_read_barrier() is
very similar to _wait_barrier(), the only difference is it only waits when
array is frozen. For heavy parallel reading I/Os, the lockless I/O barrier
code almostly gets rid of all spin lock cost.
This patch significantly improves raid1 reading peroformance. From my
testing, a raid1 device built by two NVMe SSD, runs fio with 64KB
blocksize, 40 seq read I/O jobs, 128 iodepth, overall throughput
increases from 2.7GB/s to 4.6GB/s (+70%).
Changelog
V4:
- Change conf->nr_queued[] to atomic_t.
- Define BARRIER_BUCKETS_NR_BITS by (PAGE_SHIFT - ilog2(sizeof(atomic_t)))
V3:
- Add smp_mb__after_atomic() as Shaohua and Neil suggested.
- Change conf->nr_queued[] from atomic_t to int.
- Change conf->array_frozen from atomic_t back to int, and use
READ_ONCE(conf->array_frozen) to check value of conf->array_frozen
in _wait_barrier() and wait_read_barrier().
- In _wait_barrier() and wait_read_barrier(), add a call to
wake_up(&conf->wait_barrier) after atomic_dec(&conf->nr_pending[idx]),
to fix a deadlock between _wait_barrier()/wait_read_barrier and
freeze_array().
V2:
- Remove a spin_lock/unlock pair in raid1d().
- Add more code comments to explain why there is no racy when checking two
atomic_t variables at same time.

current form.
In the new simpler raid1 I/O barrier implementation, there are two
wait barrier functions,
- wait_barrier()
Which calls _wait_barrier(), is used for regular write I/O. If there is
resync I/O happening on the same I/O barrier bucket, or the whole
array is frozen, task will wait until no barrier on same barrier bucket,
or the whold array is unfreezed.
- wait_read_barrier()
Since regular read I/O won't interfere with resync I/O (read_balance()
will make sure only uptodate data will be read out), it is unnecessary
to wait for barrier in regular read I/Os, waiting in only necessary
when the whole array is frozen.
The operations on conf->nr_pending[idx], conf->nr_waiting[idx], conf->
barrier[idx] are very carefully designed in raise_barrier(),
lower_barrier(), _wait_barrier() and wait_read_barrier(), in order to
avoid unnecessary spin locks in these functions. Once conf->
nr_pengding[idx] is increased, a resync I/O with same barrier bucket index
has to wait in raise_barrier(). Then in _wait_barrier() if no barrier
raised in same barrier bucket index and array is not frozen, the regular
I/O doesn't need to hold conf->resync_lock, it can just increase
conf->nr_pending[idx], and return to its caller. wait_read_barrier() is
very similar to _wait_barrier(), the only difference is it only waits when
array is frozen. For heavy parallel reading I/Os, the lockless I/O barrier
code almostly gets rid of all spin lock cost.
This patch significantly improves raid1 reading peroformance. From my
testing, a raid1 device built by two NVMe SSD, runs fio with 64KB
blocksize, 40 seq read I/O jobs, 128 iodepth, overall throughput
increases from 2.7GB/s to 4.6GB/s (+70%).
Changelog
V4:
- Change conf->nr_queued[] to atomic_t.
- Define BARRIER_BUCKETS_NR_BITS by (PAGE_SHIFT - ilog2(sizeof(atomic_t)))
V3:

in _wait_barrier() and wait_read_barrier().
- In _wait_barrier() and wait_read_barrier(), add a call to
wake_up(&conf->wait_barrier) after atomic_dec(&conf->nr_pending[idx]),
to fix a deadlock between _wait_barrier()/wait_read_barrier and
freeze_array().
V2:

RAID1: a new I/O barrier implementation to remove resync window
'Commit 79ef3a8aa1cb ("raid1: Rewrite the implementation of iobarrier.")'
introduces a sliding resync window for raid1 I/O barrier, this idea limits
I/O barriers to happen only inside a slidingresync window, for regular
I/Os out of this resync window they don't need to wait for barrier any
more. On large raid1 device, it helps a lot to improve parallel writing
I/O throughput when there are background resync I/Os performing at
same time.
The idea of sliding resync widow is awesome, but code complexity is a
challenge. Sliding resync window requires several variables to work
collectively, this is complexed and very hard to make it work correctly.
Just grep "Fixes: 79ef3a8aa1" in kernel git log, there are 8 more patches
to fix the original resync window patch. This is not the end, any further
related modification may easily introduce more regreassion.
Therefore I decide to implement a much simpler raid1 I/O barrier, by
removing resync window code, I believe life will be much easier.
The brief idea of the simpler barrier is,
- Do not maintain a global unique resync window
- Use multiple hash buckets to reduce I/O barrier conflicts, regular
I/O only has to wait for a resync I/O when both them have same barrier
bucket index, vice versa.
- I/O barrier can be reduced to an acceptable number if there are enough
barrier buckets
Here I explain how the barrier buckets are designed,
- BARRIER_UNIT_SECTOR_SIZE
The whole LBA address space of a raid1 device is divided into multiple
barrier units, by the size of BARRIER_UNIT_SECTOR_SIZE.
Bio requests won't go across border of barrier unit size, that means
maximum bio size is BARRIER_UNIT_SECTOR_SIZE<<9 (64MB) in bytes.
For random I/O 64MB is large enough for both read and write requests,
for sequential I/O considering underlying block layer may merge them
into larger requests, 64MB is still good enough.
Neil also points out that for resync operation, "we want the resync to
move from region to region fairly quickly so that the slowness caused
by having to synchronize with the resync is averaged out over a fairly
small time frame". For full speed resync, 64MB should take less then 1
second. When resync is competing with other I/O, it could take up a few
minutes. Therefore 64MB size is fairly good range for resync.
- BARRIER_BUCKETS_NR
There are BARRIER_BUCKETS_NR buckets in total, which is defined by,
#define BARRIER_BUCKETS_NR_BITS (PAGE_SHIFT - 2)
#define BARRIER_BUCKETS_NR (1<<BARRIER_BUCKETS_NR_BITS)
this patch makes the bellowed members of struct r1conf from integer
to array of integers,
- int nr_pending;
- int nr_waiting;
- int nr_queued;
- int barrier;
+ int *nr_pending;
+ int *nr_waiting;
+ int *nr_queued;
+ int *barrier;
number of the array elements is defined as BARRIER_BUCKETS_NR. For 4KB
kernel space page size, (PAGE_SHIFT - 2) indecates there are 1024 I/O
barrier buckets, and each array of integers occupies single memory page.
1024 means for a request which is smaller than the I/O barrier unit size
has ~0.1% chance to wait for resync to pause, which is quite a small
enough fraction. Also requesting single memory page is more friendly to
kernel page allocator than larger memory size.
- I/O barrier bucket is indexed by bio start sector
If multiple I/O requests hit different I/O barrier units, they only need
to compete I/O barrier with other I/Os which hit the same I/O barrier
bucket index with each other. The index of a barrier bucket which a
bio should look for is calculated by sector_to_idx() which is defined
in raid1.h as an inline function,
static inline int sector_to_idx(sector_t sector)
{
return hash_long(sector >> BARRIER_UNIT_SECTOR_BITS,
BARRIER_BUCKETS_NR_BITS);
}
Here sector_nr is the start sector number of a bio.
- Single bio won't go across boundary of a I/O barrier unit
If a request goes across boundary of barrier unit, it will be split. A
bio may be split in raid1_make_request() or raid1_sync_request(), if
sectors returned by align_to_barrier_unit_end() is smaller than
original bio size.
Comparing to single sliding resync window,
- Currently resync I/O grows linearly, therefore regular and resync I/O
will conflict within a single barrier units. So the I/O behavior is
similar to single sliding resync window.
- But a barrier unit bucket is shared by all barrier units with identical
barrier uinit index, the probability of conflict might be higher
than single sliding resync window, in condition that writing I/Os
always hit barrier units which have identical barrier bucket indexs with
the resync I/Os. This is a very rare condition in real I/O work loads,
I cannot imagine how it could happen in practice.
- Therefore we can achieve a good enough low conflict rate with much
simpler barrier algorithm and implementation.
There are two changes should be noticed,
- In raid1d(), I change the code to decrease conf->nr_pending[idx] into
single loop, it looks like this,
spin_lock_irqsave(&conf->device_lock, flags);
conf->nr_queued[idx]--;
spin_unlock_irqrestore(&conf->device_lock, flags);
This change generates more spin lock operations, but in next patch of
this patch set, it will be replaced by a single line code,
atomic_dec(&conf->nr_queueud[idx]);
So we don't need to worry about spin lock cost here.
- Mainline raid1 code split original raid1_make_request() into
raid1_read_request() and raid1_write_request(). If the original bio
goes across an I/O barrier unit size, this bio will be split before
calling raid1_read_request() or raid1_write_request(), this change
the code logic more simple and clear.
- In this patch wait_barrier() is moved from raid1_make_request() to
raid1_write_request(). In raid_read_request(), original wait_barrier()
is replaced by raid1_read_request().
The differnece is wait_read_barrier() only waits if array is frozen,
using different barrier function in different code path makes the code
more clean and easy to read.
Changelog
V4:
- Add alloc_r1bio() to remove redundant r1bio memory allocation code.
- Fix many typos in patch comments.

bounday, to make the code more simple, by suggestion from Shaohua and
Neil.

Therefore I decide to implement a much simpler raid1 I/O barrier, by

- Do not maintain a global unique resync window
- Use multiple hash buckets to reduce I/O barrier conflicts, regular
I/O only has to wait for a resync I/O when both them have same barrier
bucket index, vice versa.
- I/O barrier can be reduced to an acceptable number if there are enough
barrier buckets
Here I explain how the barrier buckets are designed,
- BARRIER_UNIT_SECTOR_SIZE
The whole LBA address space of a raid1 device is divided into multiple
barrier units, by the size of BARRIER_UNIT_SECTOR_SIZE.
Bio requests won't go across border of barrier unit size, that means
maximum bio size is BARRIER_UNIT_SECTOR_SIZE<<9 (64MB) in bytes.
For random I/O 64MB is large enough for both read and write requests,
for sequential I/O considering underlying block layer may merge them

Neil also points out that for resync operation, "we want the resync to

There are BARRIER_BUCKETS_NR buckets in total, which is defined by,
#define BARRIER_BUCKETS_NR_BITS (PAGE_SHIFT - 2)
#define BARRIER_BUCKETS_NR (1<<BARRIER_BUCKETS_NR_BITS)
this patch makes the bellowed members of struct r1conf from integer
to array of integers,
- int nr_pending;
- int nr_waiting;
- int nr_queued;
- int barrier;
+ int *nr_pending;
+ int *nr_waiting;
+ int *nr_queued;
+ int *barrier;
number of the array elements is defined as BARRIER_BUCKETS_NR. For 4KB
kernel space page size, (PAGE_SHIFT - 2) indecates there are 1024 I/O
barrier buckets, and each array of integers occupies single memory page.
1024 means for a request which is smaller than the I/O barrier unit size
has ~0.1% chance to wait for resync to pause, which is quite a small
enough fraction. Also requesting single memory page is more friendly to
kernel page allocator than larger memory size.
- I/O barrier bucket is indexed by bio start sector
If multiple I/O requests hit different I/O barrier units, they only need
to compete I/O barrier with other I/Os which hit the same I/O barrier
bucket index with each other. The index of a barrier bucket which a
bio should look for is calculated by sector_to_idx() which is defined
in raid1.h as an inline function,
static inline int sector_to_idx(sector_t sector)
{
return hash_long(sector >> BARRIER_UNIT_SECTOR_BITS,
BARRIER_BUCKETS_NR_BITS);
}
Here sector_nr is the start sector number of a bio.
- Single bio won't go across boundary of a I/O barrier unit
If a request goes across boundary of barrier unit, it will be split. A
bio may be split in raid1_make_request() or raid1_sync_request(), if
sectors returned by align_to_barrier_unit_end() is smaller than
original bio size.
Comparing to single sliding resync window,
- Currently resync I/O grows linearly, therefore regular and resync I/O
will conflict within a single barrier units. So the I/O behavior is
similar to single sliding resync window.
- But a barrier unit bucket is shared by all barrier units with identical
barrier uinit index, the probability of conflict might be higher
than single sliding resync window, in condition that writing I/Os
always hit barrier units which have identical barrier bucket indexs with
the resync I/Os. This is a very rare condition in real I/O work loads,
I cannot imagine how it could happen in practice.
- Therefore we can achieve a good enough low conflict rate with much
simpler barrier algorithm and implementation.
There are two changes should be noticed,
- In raid1d(), I change the code to decrease conf->nr_pending[idx] into
single loop, it looks like this,
spin_lock_irqsave(&conf->device_lock, flags);
conf->nr_queued[idx]--;
spin_unlock_irqrestore(&conf->device_lock, flags);
This change generates more spin lock operations, but in next patch of
this patch set, it will be replaced by a single line code,
atomic_dec(&conf->nr_queueud[idx]);
So we don't need to worry about spin lock cost here.
- Mainline raid1 code split original raid1_make_request() into
raid1_read_request() and raid1_write_request(). If the original bio
goes across an I/O barrier unit size, this bio will be split before
calling raid1_read_request() or raid1_write_request(), this change
the code logic more simple and clear.
- In this patch wait_barrier() is moved from raid1_make_request() to
raid1_write_request(). In raid_read_request(), original wait_barrier()
is replaced by raid1_read_request().
The differnece is wait_read_barrier() only waits if array is frozen,
using different barrier function in different code path makes the code
more clean and easy to read.

RAID1: a new I/O barrier implementation to remove resync window
'Commit 79ef3a8aa1cb ("raid1: Rewrite the implementation of iobarrier.")'
introduces a sliding resync window for raid1 I/O barrier, this idea limits
I/O barriers to happen only inside a slidingresync window, for regular
I/Os out of this resync window they don't need to wait for barrier any
more. On large raid1 device, it helps a lot to improve parallel writing
I/O throughput when there are background resync I/Os performing at
same time.
The idea of sliding resync widow is awesome, but code complexity is a
challenge. Sliding resync window requires several variables to work
collectively, this is complexed and very hard to make it work correctly.
Just grep "Fixes: 79ef3a8aa1" in kernel git log, there are 8 more patches
to fix the original resync window patch. This is not the end, any further
related modification may easily introduce more regreassion.
Therefore I decide to implement a much simpler raid1 I/O barrier, by
removing resync window code, I believe life will be much easier.
The brief idea of the simpler barrier is,
- Do not maintain a global unique resync window
- Use multiple hash buckets to reduce I/O barrier conflicts, regular
I/O only has to wait for a resync I/O when both them have same barrier
bucket index, vice versa.
- I/O barrier can be reduced to an acceptable number if there are enough
barrier buckets
Here I explain how the barrier buckets are designed,
- BARRIER_UNIT_SECTOR_SIZE
The whole LBA address space of a raid1 device is divided into multiple
barrier units, by the size of BARRIER_UNIT_SECTOR_SIZE.
Bio requests won't go across border of barrier unit size, that means
maximum bio size is BARRIER_UNIT_SECTOR_SIZE<<9 (64MB) in bytes.
For random I/O 64MB is large enough for both read and write requests,
for sequential I/O considering underlying block layer may merge them
into larger requests, 64MB is still good enough.
Neil also points out that for resync operation, "we want the resync to
move from region to region fairly quickly so that the slowness caused
by having to synchronize with the resync is averaged out over a fairly
small time frame". For full speed resync, 64MB should take less then 1
second. When resync is competing with other I/O, it could take up a few
minutes. Therefore 64MB size is fairly good range for resync.
- BARRIER_BUCKETS_NR
There are BARRIER_BUCKETS_NR buckets in total, which is defined by,
#define BARRIER_BUCKETS_NR_BITS (PAGE_SHIFT - 2)
#define BARRIER_BUCKETS_NR (1<<BARRIER_BUCKETS_NR_BITS)
this patch makes the bellowed members of struct r1conf from integer
to array of integers,
- int nr_pending;
- int nr_waiting;
- int nr_queued;
- int barrier;
+ int *nr_pending;
+ int *nr_waiting;
+ int *nr_queued;
+ int *barrier;
number of the array elements is defined as BARRIER_BUCKETS_NR. For 4KB
kernel space page size, (PAGE_SHIFT - 2) indecates there are 1024 I/O
barrier buckets, and each array of integers occupies single memory page.
1024 means for a request which is smaller than the I/O barrier unit size
has ~0.1% chance to wait for resync to pause, which is quite a small
enough fraction. Also requesting single memory page is more friendly to
kernel page allocator than larger memory size.
- I/O barrier bucket is indexed by bio start sector
If multiple I/O requests hit different I/O barrier units, they only need
to compete I/O barrier with other I/Os which hit the same I/O barrier
bucket index with each other. The index of a barrier bucket which a
bio should look for is calculated by sector_to_idx() which is defined
in raid1.h as an inline function,
static inline int sector_to_idx(sector_t sector)
{
return hash_long(sector >> BARRIER_UNIT_SECTOR_BITS,
BARRIER_BUCKETS_NR_BITS);
}
Here sector_nr is the start sector number of a bio.
- Single bio won't go across boundary of a I/O barrier unit
If a request goes across boundary of barrier unit, it will be split. A
bio may be split in raid1_make_request() or raid1_sync_request(), if
sectors returned by align_to_barrier_unit_end() is smaller than
original bio size.
Comparing to single sliding resync window,
- Currently resync I/O grows linearly, therefore regular and resync I/O
will conflict within a single barrier units. So the I/O behavior is
similar to single sliding resync window.
- But a barrier unit bucket is shared by all barrier units with identical
barrier uinit index, the probability of conflict might be higher
than single sliding resync window, in condition that writing I/Os
always hit barrier units which have identical barrier bucket indexs with
the resync I/Os. This is a very rare condition in real I/O work loads,
I cannot imagine how it could happen in practice.
- Therefore we can achieve a good enough low conflict rate with much
simpler barrier algorithm and implementation.
There are two changes should be noticed,
- In raid1d(), I change the code to decrease conf->nr_pending[idx] into
single loop, it looks like this,
spin_lock_irqsave(&conf->device_lock, flags);
conf->nr_queued[idx]--;
spin_unlock_irqrestore(&conf->device_lock, flags);
This change generates more spin lock operations, but in next patch of
this patch set, it will be replaced by a single line code,
atomic_dec(&conf->nr_queueud[idx]);
So we don't need to worry about spin lock cost here.
- Mainline raid1 code split original raid1_make_request() into
raid1_read_request() and raid1_write_request(). If the original bio
goes across an I/O barrier unit size, this bio will be split before
calling raid1_read_request() or raid1_write_request(), this change
the code logic more simple and clear.
- In this patch wait_barrier() is moved from raid1_make_request() to
raid1_write_request(). In raid_read_request(), original wait_barrier()
is replaced by raid1_read_request().
The differnece is wait_read_barrier() only waits if array is frozen,
using different barrier function in different code path makes the code
more clean and easy to read.
Changelog

This change is by the suggestion from Shaohua.
- Remove some inrelavent code comments, by suggestion from Guoqing.
- Add a missing wait_barrier() before jumping to retry_write, in
raid1_make_write_request().

RAID1: avoid unnecessary spin locks in I/O barrier code
When I run a parallel reading performan testing on a md raid1 device with
two NVMe SSDs, I observe very bad throughput in supprise: by fio with 64KB
block size, 40 seq read I/O jobs, 128 iodepth, overall throughput is
only 2.7GB/s, this is around 50% of the idea performance number.
The perf reports locking contention happens at allow_barrier() and
wait_barrier() code,
- 41.41% fio [kernel.kallsyms] [k] _raw_spin_lock_irqsave
- _raw_spin_lock_irqsave
+ 89.92% allow_barrier
+ 9.34% __wake_up
- 37.30% fio [kernel.kallsyms] [k] _raw_spin_lock_irq
- _raw_spin_lock_irq
- 100.00% wait_barrier
The reason is, in these I/O barrier related functions,
- raise_barrier()
- lower_barrier()
- wait_barrier()
- allow_barrier()
They always hold conf->resync_lock firstly, even there are only regular
reading I/Os and no resync I/O at all. This is a huge performance penalty.
The solution is a lockless-like algorithm in I/O barrier code, and only
holding conf->resync_lock when it has to.
The original idea is from Hannes Reinecke, and Neil Brown provides
comments to improve it. I continue to work on it, and make the patch into
current form.
In the new simpler raid1 I/O barrier implementation, there are two
wait barrier functions,
- wait_barrier()
Which calls _wait_barrier(), is used for regular write I/O. If there is
resync I/O happening on the same I/O barrier bucket, or the whole
array is frozen, task will wait until no barrier on same barrier bucket,
or the whold array is unfreezed.
- wait_read_barrier()
Since regular read I/O won't interfere with resync I/O (read_balance()
will make sure only uptodate data will be read out), it is unnecessary
to wait for barrier in regular read I/Os, waiting in only necessary
when the whole array is frozen.
The operations on conf->nr_pending[idx], conf->nr_waiting[idx], conf->
barrier[idx] are very carefully designed in raise_barrier(),
lower_barrier(), _wait_barrier() and wait_read_barrier(), in order to
avoid unnecessary spin locks in these functions. Once conf->
nr_pengding[idx] is increased, a resync I/O with same barrier bucket index
has to wait in raise_barrier(). Then in _wait_barrier() if no barrier
raised in same barrier bucket index and array is not frozen, the regular
I/O doesn't need to hold conf->resync_lock, it can just increase
conf->nr_pending[idx], and return to its caller. wait_read_barrier() is
very similar to _wait_barrier(), the only difference is it only waits when
array is frozen. For heavy parallel reading I/Os, the lockless I/O barrier
code almostly gets rid of all spin lock cost.
This patch significantly improves raid1 reading peroformance. From my
testing, a raid1 device built by two NVMe SSD, runs fio with 64KB
blocksize, 40 seq read I/O jobs, 128 iodepth, overall throughput
increases from 2.7GB/s to 4.6GB/s (+70%).
Changelog
V4:
- Change conf->nr_queued[] to atomic_t.
- Define BARRIER_BUCKETS_NR_BITS by (PAGE_SHIFT - ilog2(sizeof(atomic_t)))
V3:
- Add smp_mb__after_atomic() as Shaohua and Neil suggested.
- Change conf->nr_queued[] from atomic_t to int.
- Change conf->array_frozen from atomic_t back to int, and use
READ_ONCE(conf->array_frozen) to check value of conf->array_frozen
in _wait_barrier() and wait_read_barrier().
- In _wait_barrier() and wait_read_barrier(), add a call to
wake_up(&conf->wait_barrier) after atomic_dec(&conf->nr_pending[idx]),
to fix a deadlock between _wait_barrier()/wait_read_barrier and
freeze_array().
V2:
- Remove a spin_lock/unlock pair in raid1d().
- Add more code comments to explain why there is no racy when checking two
atomic_t variables at same time.
V1:
- Original RFC patch for comments.

md/raid1: simplify handle_read_error().
handle_read_error() duplicates a lot of the work that raid1_read_request()
does, so it makes sense to just use that function.
This doesn't quite work as handle_read_error() relies on the same r1bio
being re-used so that, in the case of a read-only array, setting
IO_BLOCKED in r1bio->bios[] ensures read_balance() won't re-use
that device.
So we need to allow a r1bio to be passed to raid1_read_request(), and to
have that function mostly initialise the r1bio, but leave the bios[]
array untouched.
Two parts of handle_read_error() that need to be preserved are the warning
message it prints, so they are conditionally added to raid1_read_request().
Note that this highlights a minor bug on alloc_r1bio(). It doesn't
initalise the bios[] array, so it is possible that old content is there,
which might cause read_balance() to ignore some devices with no good reason.
With this change, we no longer need inc_pending(), or the sectors_handled
arg to alloc_r1bio().
As handle_read_error() is called from raid1d() and allocates memory,
there is tiny chance of a deadlock. All element of various pools
could be queued waiting for raid1 to handle them, and there may be no
extra memory free.
Achieving guaranteed forward progress would probably require a second
thread and another mempool. Instead of that complexity, add
__GFP_HIGH to any allocations when read1_read_request() is called
from raid1d.

RAID1: a new I/O barrier implementation to remove resync window
'Commit 79ef3a8aa1cb ("raid1: Rewrite the implementation of iobarrier.")'
introduces a sliding resync window for raid1 I/O barrier, this idea limits
I/O barriers to happen only inside a slidingresync window, for regular
I/Os out of this resync window they don't need to wait for barrier any
more. On large raid1 device, it helps a lot to improve parallel writing
I/O throughput when there are background resync I/Os performing at
same time.
The idea of sliding resync widow is awesome, but code complexity is a
challenge. Sliding resync window requires several variables to work
collectively, this is complexed and very hard to make it work correctly.
Just grep "Fixes: 79ef3a8aa1" in kernel git log, there are 8 more patches
to fix the original resync window patch. This is not the end, any further
related modification may easily introduce more regreassion.
Therefore I decide to implement a much simpler raid1 I/O barrier, by
removing resync window code, I believe life will be much easier.
The brief idea of the simpler barrier is,
- Do not maintain a global unique resync window
- Use multiple hash buckets to reduce I/O barrier conflicts, regular
I/O only has to wait for a resync I/O when both them have same barrier
bucket index, vice versa.
- I/O barrier can be reduced to an acceptable number if there are enough
barrier buckets
Here I explain how the barrier buckets are designed,
- BARRIER_UNIT_SECTOR_SIZE
The whole LBA address space of a raid1 device is divided into multiple
barrier units, by the size of BARRIER_UNIT_SECTOR_SIZE.
Bio requests won't go across border of barrier unit size, that means
maximum bio size is BARRIER_UNIT_SECTOR_SIZE<<9 (64MB) in bytes.
For random I/O 64MB is large enough for both read and write requests,
for sequential I/O considering underlying block layer may merge them
into larger requests, 64MB is still good enough.
Neil also points out that for resync operation, "we want the resync to
move from region to region fairly quickly so that the slowness caused
by having to synchronize with the resync is averaged out over a fairly
small time frame". For full speed resync, 64MB should take less then 1
second. When resync is competing with other I/O, it could take up a few
minutes. Therefore 64MB size is fairly good range for resync.
- BARRIER_BUCKETS_NR
There are BARRIER_BUCKETS_NR buckets in total, which is defined by,
#define BARRIER_BUCKETS_NR_BITS (PAGE_SHIFT - 2)
#define BARRIER_BUCKETS_NR (1<<BARRIER_BUCKETS_NR_BITS)
this patch makes the bellowed members of struct r1conf from integer
to array of integers,
- int nr_pending;
- int nr_waiting;
- int nr_queued;
- int barrier;
+ int *nr_pending;
+ int *nr_waiting;
+ int *nr_queued;
+ int *barrier;
number of the array elements is defined as BARRIER_BUCKETS_NR. For 4KB
kernel space page size, (PAGE_SHIFT - 2) indecates there are 1024 I/O
barrier buckets, and each array of integers occupies single memory page.
1024 means for a request which is smaller than the I/O barrier unit size
has ~0.1% chance to wait for resync to pause, which is quite a small
enough fraction. Also requesting single memory page is more friendly to
kernel page allocator than larger memory size.
- I/O barrier bucket is indexed by bio start sector
If multiple I/O requests hit different I/O barrier units, they only need
to compete I/O barrier with other I/Os which hit the same I/O barrier
bucket index with each other. The index of a barrier bucket which a
bio should look for is calculated by sector_to_idx() which is defined
in raid1.h as an inline function,
static inline int sector_to_idx(sector_t sector)
{
return hash_long(sector >> BARRIER_UNIT_SECTOR_BITS,
BARRIER_BUCKETS_NR_BITS);
}
Here sector_nr is the start sector number of a bio.
- Single bio won't go across boundary of a I/O barrier unit
If a request goes across boundary of barrier unit, it will be split. A
bio may be split in raid1_make_request() or raid1_sync_request(), if
sectors returned by align_to_barrier_unit_end() is smaller than
original bio size.
Comparing to single sliding resync window,
- Currently resync I/O grows linearly, therefore regular and resync I/O
will conflict within a single barrier units. So the I/O behavior is
similar to single sliding resync window.
- But a barrier unit bucket is shared by all barrier units with identical
barrier uinit index, the probability of conflict might be higher
than single sliding resync window, in condition that writing I/Os
always hit barrier units which have identical barrier bucket indexs with
the resync I/Os. This is a very rare condition in real I/O work loads,
I cannot imagine how it could happen in practice.
- Therefore we can achieve a good enough low conflict rate with much
simpler barrier algorithm and implementation.
There are two changes should be noticed,
- In raid1d(), I change the code to decrease conf->nr_pending[idx] into
single loop, it looks like this,
spin_lock_irqsave(&conf->device_lock, flags);
conf->nr_queued[idx]--;
spin_unlock_irqrestore(&conf->device_lock, flags);
This change generates more spin lock operations, but in next patch of
this patch set, it will be replaced by a single line code,
atomic_dec(&conf->nr_queueud[idx]);
So we don't need to worry about spin lock cost here.
- Mainline raid1 code split original raid1_make_request() into
raid1_read_request() and raid1_write_request(). If the original bio
goes across an I/O barrier unit size, this bio will be split before
calling raid1_read_request() or raid1_write_request(), this change
the code logic more simple and clear.
- In this patch wait_barrier() is moved from raid1_make_request() to
raid1_write_request(). In raid_read_request(), original wait_barrier()
is replaced by raid1_read_request().
The differnece is wait_read_barrier() only waits if array is frozen,
using different barrier function in different code path makes the code
more clean and easy to read.

RAID1: a new I/O barrier implementation to remove resync window
'Commit 79ef3a8aa1cb ("raid1: Rewrite the implementation of iobarrier.")'
introduces a sliding resync window for raid1 I/O barrier, this idea limits
I/O barriers to happen only inside a slidingresync window, for regular
I/Os out of this resync window they don't need to wait for barrier any
more. On large raid1 device, it helps a lot to improve parallel writing
I/O throughput when there are background resync I/Os performing at
same time.
The idea of sliding resync widow is awesome, but code complexity is a
challenge. Sliding resync window requires several variables to work
collectively, this is complexed and very hard to make it work correctly.
Just grep "Fixes: 79ef3a8aa1" in kernel git log, there are 8 more patches
to fix the original resync window patch. This is not the end, any further
related modification may easily introduce more regreassion.
Therefore I decide to implement a much simpler raid1 I/O barrier, by
removing resync window code, I believe life will be much easier.
The brief idea of the simpler barrier is,
- Do not maintain a global unique resync window
- Use multiple hash buckets to reduce I/O barrier conflicts, regular
I/O only has to wait for a resync I/O when both them have same barrier
bucket index, vice versa.
- I/O barrier can be reduced to an acceptable number if there are enough
barrier buckets
Here I explain how the barrier buckets are designed,
- BARRIER_UNIT_SECTOR_SIZE
The whole LBA address space of a raid1 device is divided into multiple
barrier units, by the size of BARRIER_UNIT_SECTOR_SIZE.
Bio requests won't go across border of barrier unit size, that means
maximum bio size is BARRIER_UNIT_SECTOR_SIZE<<9 (64MB) in bytes.
For random I/O 64MB is large enough for both read and write requests,
for sequential I/O considering underlying block layer may merge them
into larger requests, 64MB is still good enough.
Neil also points out that for resync operation, "we want the resync to
move from region to region fairly quickly so that the slowness caused
by having to synchronize with the resync is averaged out over a fairly
small time frame". For full speed resync, 64MB should take less then 1
second. When resync is competing with other I/O, it could take up a few
minutes. Therefore 64MB size is fairly good range for resync.
- BARRIER_BUCKETS_NR
There are BARRIER_BUCKETS_NR buckets in total, which is defined by,
#define BARRIER_BUCKETS_NR_BITS (PAGE_SHIFT - 2)
#define BARRIER_BUCKETS_NR (1<<BARRIER_BUCKETS_NR_BITS)
this patch makes the bellowed members of struct r1conf from integer
to array of integers,
- int nr_pending;
- int nr_waiting;
- int nr_queued;
- int barrier;
+ int *nr_pending;
+ int *nr_waiting;
+ int *nr_queued;
+ int *barrier;
number of the array elements is defined as BARRIER_BUCKETS_NR. For 4KB
kernel space page size, (PAGE_SHIFT - 2) indecates there are 1024 I/O
barrier buckets, and each array of integers occupies single memory page.
1024 means for a request which is smaller than the I/O barrier unit size
has ~0.1% chance to wait for resync to pause, which is quite a small
enough fraction. Also requesting single memory page is more friendly to
kernel page allocator than larger memory size.
- I/O barrier bucket is indexed by bio start sector
If multiple I/O requests hit different I/O barrier units, they only need
to compete I/O barrier with other I/Os which hit the same I/O barrier
bucket index with each other. The index of a barrier bucket which a
bio should look for is calculated by sector_to_idx() which is defined
in raid1.h as an inline function,
static inline int sector_to_idx(sector_t sector)
{
return hash_long(sector >> BARRIER_UNIT_SECTOR_BITS,
BARRIER_BUCKETS_NR_BITS);
}
Here sector_nr is the start sector number of a bio.
- Single bio won't go across boundary of a I/O barrier unit
If a request goes across boundary of barrier unit, it will be split. A
bio may be split in raid1_make_request() or raid1_sync_request(), if
sectors returned by align_to_barrier_unit_end() is smaller than
original bio size.
Comparing to single sliding resync window,
- Currently resync I/O grows linearly, therefore regular and resync I/O
will conflict within a single barrier units. So the I/O behavior is

- But a barrier unit bucket is shared by all barrier units with identical

md/raid1: simplify the splitting of requests.
raid1 currently splits requests in two different ways for
two different reasons.
First, bio_split() is used to ensure the bio fits within a
resync accounting region.
Second, multiple r1bios are allocated for each bio to handle
the possiblity of known bad blocks on some devices.
This can be simplified to just use bio_split() once, and not
use multiple r1bios.
We delay the split until we know a maximum bio size that can
be handled with a single r1bio, and then split the bio and
queue the remainder for later handling.
This avoids all loops inside raid1.c request handling. Just
a single read, or a single set of writes, is submitted to
lower-level devices for each bio that comes from
generic_make_request().
When the bio needs to be split, generic_make_request() will
do the necessary looping and call md_make_request() multiple
times.
raid1_make_request() no longer queues request for raid1 to handle,
so we can remove that branch from the 'if'.
This patch also creates a new private bio_set
(conf->bio_split) for splitting bios. Using fs_bio_set
is wrong, as it is meant to be used by filesystems, not
block devices. Using it inside md can lead to deadlocks
under high memory pressure.

md/raid1: simplify handle_read_error().
handle_read_error() duplicates a lot of the work that raid1_read_request()
does, so it makes sense to just use that function.
This doesn't quite work as handle_read_error() relies on the same r1bio
being re-used so that, in the case of a read-only array, setting
IO_BLOCKED in r1bio->bios[] ensures read_balance() won't re-use
that device.
So we need to allow a r1bio to be passed to raid1_read_request(), and to
have that function mostly initialise the r1bio, but leave the bios[]
array untouched.
Two parts of handle_read_error() that need to be preserved are the warning
message it prints, so they are conditionally added to raid1_read_request().
Note that this highlights a minor bug on alloc_r1bio(). It doesn't
initalise the bios[] array, so it is possible that old content is there,
which might cause read_balance() to ignore some devices with no good reason.
With this change, we no longer need inc_pending(), or the sectors_handled
arg to alloc_r1bio().
As handle_read_error() is called from raid1d() and allocates memory,
there is tiny chance of a deadlock. All element of various pools
could be queued waiting for raid1 to handle them, and there may be no
extra memory free.
Achieving guaranteed forward progress would probably require a second
thread and another mempool. Instead of that complexity, add
__GFP_HIGH to any allocations when read1_read_request() is called
from raid1d.

RAID1: a new I/O barrier implementation to remove resync window
'Commit 79ef3a8aa1cb ("raid1: Rewrite the implementation of iobarrier.")'
introduces a sliding resync window for raid1 I/O barrier, this idea limits
I/O barriers to happen only inside a slidingresync window, for regular
I/Os out of this resync window they don't need to wait for barrier any
more. On large raid1 device, it helps a lot to improve parallel writing
I/O throughput when there are background resync I/Os performing at
same time.
The idea of sliding resync widow is awesome, but code complexity is a
challenge. Sliding resync window requires several variables to work
collectively, this is complexed and very hard to make it work correctly.
Just grep "Fixes: 79ef3a8aa1" in kernel git log, there are 8 more patches
to fix the original resync window patch. This is not the end, any further
related modification may easily introduce more regreassion.
Therefore I decide to implement a much simpler raid1 I/O barrier, by
removing resync window code, I believe life will be much easier.
The brief idea of the simpler barrier is,
- Do not maintain a global unique resync window
- Use multiple hash buckets to reduce I/O barrier conflicts, regular
I/O only has to wait for a resync I/O when both them have same barrier
bucket index, vice versa.
- I/O barrier can be reduced to an acceptable number if there are enough
barrier buckets
Here I explain how the barrier buckets are designed,
- BARRIER_UNIT_SECTOR_SIZE
The whole LBA address space of a raid1 device is divided into multiple
barrier units, by the size of BARRIER_UNIT_SECTOR_SIZE.
Bio requests won't go across border of barrier unit size, that means
maximum bio size is BARRIER_UNIT_SECTOR_SIZE<<9 (64MB) in bytes.
For random I/O 64MB is large enough for both read and write requests,
for sequential I/O considering underlying block layer may merge them
into larger requests, 64MB is still good enough.
Neil also points out that for resync operation, "we want the resync to
move from region to region fairly quickly so that the slowness caused
by having to synchronize with the resync is averaged out over a fairly
small time frame". For full speed resync, 64MB should take less then 1
second. When resync is competing with other I/O, it could take up a few
minutes. Therefore 64MB size is fairly good range for resync.
- BARRIER_BUCKETS_NR
There are BARRIER_BUCKETS_NR buckets in total, which is defined by,
#define BARRIER_BUCKETS_NR_BITS (PAGE_SHIFT - 2)
#define BARRIER_BUCKETS_NR (1<<BARRIER_BUCKETS_NR_BITS)
this patch makes the bellowed members of struct r1conf from integer
to array of integers,
- int nr_pending;
- int nr_waiting;
- int nr_queued;
- int barrier;
+ int *nr_pending;
+ int *nr_waiting;
+ int *nr_queued;
+ int *barrier;
number of the array elements is defined as BARRIER_BUCKETS_NR. For 4KB
kernel space page size, (PAGE_SHIFT - 2) indecates there are 1024 I/O
barrier buckets, and each array of integers occupies single memory page.
1024 means for a request which is smaller than the I/O barrier unit size
has ~0.1% chance to wait for resync to pause, which is quite a small
enough fraction. Also requesting single memory page is more friendly to
kernel page allocator than larger memory size.
- I/O barrier bucket is indexed by bio start sector
If multiple I/O requests hit different I/O barrier units, they only need
to compete I/O barrier with other I/Os which hit the same I/O barrier
bucket index with each other. The index of a barrier bucket which a
bio should look for is calculated by sector_to_idx() which is defined
in raid1.h as an inline function,
static inline int sector_to_idx(sector_t sector)
{
return hash_long(sector >> BARRIER_UNIT_SECTOR_BITS,
BARRIER_BUCKETS_NR_BITS);
}
Here sector_nr is the start sector number of a bio.
- Single bio won't go across boundary of a I/O barrier unit
If a request goes across boundary of barrier unit, it will be split. A
bio may be split in raid1_make_request() or raid1_sync_request(), if
sectors returned by align_to_barrier_unit_end() is smaller than
original bio size.
Comparing to single sliding resync window,
- Currently resync I/O grows linearly, therefore regular and resync I/O
will conflict within a single barrier units. So the I/O behavior is
similar to single sliding resync window.
- But a barrier unit bucket is shared by all barrier units with identical
barrier uinit index, the probability of conflict might be higher
than single sliding resync window, in condition that writing I/Os
always hit barrier units which have identical barrier bucket indexs with
the resync I/Os. This is a very rare condition in real I/O work loads,
I cannot imagine how it could happen in practice.
- Therefore we can achieve a good enough low conflict rate with much
simpler barrier algorithm and implementation.
There are two changes should be noticed,
- In raid1d(), I change the code to decrease conf->nr_pending[idx] into
single loop, it looks like this,
spin_lock_irqsave(&conf->device_lock, flags);
conf->nr_queued[idx]--;
spin_unlock_irqrestore(&conf->device_lock, flags);
This change generates more spin lock operations, but in next patch of
this patch set, it will be replaced by a single line code,
atomic_dec(&conf->nr_queueud[idx]);
So we don't need to worry about spin lock cost here.
- Mainline raid1 code split original raid1_make_request() into
raid1_read_request() and raid1_write_request(). If the original bio
goes across an I/O barrier unit size, this bio will be split before
calling raid1_read_request() or raid1_write_request(), this change
the code logic more simple and clear.
- In this patch wait_barrier() is moved from raid1_make_request() to
raid1_write_request(). In raid_read_request(), original wait_barrier()
is replaced by raid1_read_request().
The differnece is wait_read_barrier() only waits if array is frozen,
using different barrier function in different code path makes the code
more clean and easy to read.
Changelog
V4:
- Add alloc_r1bio() to remove redundant r1bio memory allocation code.

md/raid1: simplify the splitting of requests.
raid1 currently splits requests in two different ways for
two different reasons.
First, bio_split() is used to ensure the bio fits within a
resync accounting region.
Second, multiple r1bios are allocated for each bio to handle
the possiblity of known bad blocks on some devices.
This can be simplified to just use bio_split() once, and not
use multiple r1bios.
We delay the split until we know a maximum bio size that can
be handled with a single r1bio, and then split the bio and
queue the remainder for later handling.
This avoids all loops inside raid1.c request handling. Just
a single read, or a single set of writes, is submitted to
lower-level devices for each bio that comes from
generic_make_request().
When the bio needs to be split, generic_make_request() will
do the necessary looping and call md_make_request() multiple
times.
raid1_make_request() no longer queues request for raid1 to handle,
so we can remove that branch from the 'if'.
This patch also creates a new private bio_set
(conf->bio_split) for splitting bios. Using fs_bio_set
is wrong, as it is meant to be used by filesystems, not
block devices. Using it inside md can lead to deadlocks
under high memory pressure.

barrier units, by the size of BARRIER_UNIT_SECTOR_SIZE.
Bio requests won't go across border of barrier unit size, that means
maximum bio size is BARRIER_UNIT_SECTOR_SIZE<<9 (64MB) in bytes.

- Single bio won't go across boundary of a I/O barrier unit
If a request goes across boundary of barrier unit, it will be split. A
bio may be split in raid1_make_request() or raid1_sync_request(), if

md/raid1: simplify handle_read_error().
handle_read_error() duplicates a lot of the work that raid1_read_request()
does, so it makes sense to just use that function.
This doesn't quite work as handle_read_error() relies on the same r1bio
being re-used so that, in the case of a read-only array, setting
IO_BLOCKED in r1bio->bios[] ensures read_balance() won't re-use
that device.
So we need to allow a r1bio to be passed to raid1_read_request(), and to
have that function mostly initialise the r1bio, but leave the bios[]
array untouched.
Two parts of handle_read_error() that need to be preserved are the warning
message it prints, so they are conditionally added to raid1_read_request().
Note that this highlights a minor bug on alloc_r1bio(). It doesn't
initalise the bios[] array, so it is possible that old content is there,
which might cause read_balance() to ignore some devices with no good reason.
With this change, we no longer need inc_pending(), or the sectors_handled
arg to alloc_r1bio().
As handle_read_error() is called from raid1d() and allocates memory,
there is tiny chance of a deadlock. All element of various pools
could be queued waiting for raid1 to handle them, and there may be no
extra memory free.
Achieving guaranteed forward progress would probably require a second
thread and another mempool. Instead of that complexity, add
__GFP_HIGH to any allocations when read1_read_request() is called
from raid1d.

md/raid1: simplify the splitting of requests.
raid1 currently splits requests in two different ways for
two different reasons.
First, bio_split() is used to ensure the bio fits within a
resync accounting region.
Second, multiple r1bios are allocated for each bio to handle
the possiblity of known bad blocks on some devices.
This can be simplified to just use bio_split() once, and not
use multiple r1bios.
We delay the split until we know a maximum bio size that can
be handled with a single r1bio, and then split the bio and
queue the remainder for later handling.
This avoids all loops inside raid1.c request handling. Just
a single read, or a single set of writes, is submitted to
lower-level devices for each bio that comes from
generic_make_request().
When the bio needs to be split, generic_make_request() will
do the necessary looping and call md_make_request() multiple
times.
raid1_make_request() no longer queues request for raid1 to handle,
so we can remove that branch from the 'if'.
This patch also creates a new private bio_set
(conf->bio_split) for splitting bios. Using fs_bio_set
is wrong, as it is meant to be used by filesystems, not
block devices. Using it inside md can lead to deadlocks
under high memory pressure.

RAID1: a new I/O barrier implementation to remove resync window
'Commit 79ef3a8aa1cb ("raid1: Rewrite the implementation of iobarrier.")'
introduces a sliding resync window for raid1 I/O barrier, this idea limits
I/O barriers to happen only inside a slidingresync window, for regular
I/Os out of this resync window they don't need to wait for barrier any
more. On large raid1 device, it helps a lot to improve parallel writing
I/O throughput when there are background resync I/Os performing at
same time.
The idea of sliding resync widow is awesome, but code complexity is a
challenge. Sliding resync window requires several variables to work
collectively, this is complexed and very hard to make it work correctly.
Just grep "Fixes: 79ef3a8aa1" in kernel git log, there are 8 more patches
to fix the original resync window patch. This is not the end, any further
related modification may easily introduce more regreassion.
Therefore I decide to implement a much simpler raid1 I/O barrier, by
removing resync window code, I believe life will be much easier.
The brief idea of the simpler barrier is,
- Do not maintain a global unique resync window
- Use multiple hash buckets to reduce I/O barrier conflicts, regular
I/O only has to wait for a resync I/O when both them have same barrier
bucket index, vice versa.
- I/O barrier can be reduced to an acceptable number if there are enough
barrier buckets
Here I explain how the barrier buckets are designed,
- BARRIER_UNIT_SECTOR_SIZE
The whole LBA address space of a raid1 device is divided into multiple
barrier units, by the size of BARRIER_UNIT_SECTOR_SIZE.
Bio requests won't go across border of barrier unit size, that means
maximum bio size is BARRIER_UNIT_SECTOR_SIZE<<9 (64MB) in bytes.
For random I/O 64MB is large enough for both read and write requests,
for sequential I/O considering underlying block layer may merge them
into larger requests, 64MB is still good enough.
Neil also points out that for resync operation, "we want the resync to
move from region to region fairly quickly so that the slowness caused
by having to synchronize with the resync is averaged out over a fairly
small time frame". For full speed resync, 64MB should take less then 1
second. When resync is competing with other I/O, it could take up a few
minutes. Therefore 64MB size is fairly good range for resync.
- BARRIER_BUCKETS_NR
There are BARRIER_BUCKETS_NR buckets in total, which is defined by,
#define BARRIER_BUCKETS_NR_BITS (PAGE_SHIFT - 2)
#define BARRIER_BUCKETS_NR (1<<BARRIER_BUCKETS_NR_BITS)
this patch makes the bellowed members of struct r1conf from integer
to array of integers,
- int nr_pending;
- int nr_waiting;
- int nr_queued;
- int barrier;
+ int *nr_pending;
+ int *nr_waiting;
+ int *nr_queued;
+ int *barrier;
number of the array elements is defined as BARRIER_BUCKETS_NR. For 4KB
kernel space page size, (PAGE_SHIFT - 2) indecates there are 1024 I/O
barrier buckets, and each array of integers occupies single memory page.
1024 means for a request which is smaller than the I/O barrier unit size
has ~0.1% chance to wait for resync to pause, which is quite a small
enough fraction. Also requesting single memory page is more friendly to
kernel page allocator than larger memory size.
- I/O barrier bucket is indexed by bio start sector
If multiple I/O requests hit different I/O barrier units, they only need
to compete I/O barrier with other I/Os which hit the same I/O barrier
bucket index with each other. The index of a barrier bucket which a
bio should look for is calculated by sector_to_idx() which is defined
in raid1.h as an inline function,
static inline int sector_to_idx(sector_t sector)
{
return hash_long(sector >> BARRIER_UNIT_SECTOR_BITS,
BARRIER_BUCKETS_NR_BITS);
}
Here sector_nr is the start sector number of a bio.
- Single bio won't go across boundary of a I/O barrier unit
If a request goes across boundary of barrier unit, it will be split. A
bio may be split in raid1_make_request() or raid1_sync_request(), if
sectors returned by align_to_barrier_unit_end() is smaller than
original bio size.
Comparing to single sliding resync window,
- Currently resync I/O grows linearly, therefore regular and resync I/O
will conflict within a single barrier units. So the I/O behavior is
similar to single sliding resync window.
- But a barrier unit bucket is shared by all barrier units with identical
barrier uinit index, the probability of conflict might be higher
than single sliding resync window, in condition that writing I/Os
always hit barrier units which have identical barrier bucket indexs with
the resync I/Os. This is a very rare condition in real I/O work loads,
I cannot imagine how it could happen in practice.
- Therefore we can achieve a good enough low conflict rate with much
simpler barrier algorithm and implementation.
There are two changes should be noticed,
- In raid1d(), I change the code to decrease conf->nr_pending[idx] into
single loop, it looks like this,
spin_lock_irqsave(&conf->device_lock, flags);
conf->nr_queued[idx]--;
spin_unlock_irqrestore(&conf->device_lock, flags);
This change generates more spin lock operations, but in next patch of
this patch set, it will be replaced by a single line code,
atomic_dec(&conf->nr_queueud[idx]);
So we don't need to worry about spin lock cost here.
- Mainline raid1 code split original raid1_make_request() into
raid1_read_request() and raid1_write_request(). If the original bio
goes across an I/O barrier unit size, this bio will be split before
calling raid1_read_request() or raid1_write_request(), this change
the code logic more simple and clear.
- In this patch wait_barrier() is moved from raid1_make_request() to
raid1_write_request(). In raid_read_request(), original wait_barrier()
is replaced by raid1_read_request().
The differnece is wait_read_barrier() only waits if array is frozen,
using different barrier function in different code path makes the code
more clean and easy to read.
Changelog
V4:
- Add alloc_r1bio() to remove redundant r1bio memory allocation code.
- Fix many typos in patch comments.
- Use (PAGE_SHIFT - ilog2(sizeof(int))) to define BARRIER_BUCKETS_NR_BITS.
V3:
- Rebase the patch against latest upstream kernel code.
- Many fixes by review comments from Neil,
- Back to use pointers to replace arraries in struct r1conf
- Remove total_barriers from struct r1conf
- Add more patch comments to explain how/why the values of
BARRIER_UNIT_SECTOR_SIZE and BARRIER_BUCKETS_NR are decided.
- Use get_unqueued_pending() to replace get_all_pendings() and
get_all_queued()
- Increase bucket number from 512 to 1024
- Change code comments format by review from Shaohua.
V2:
- Use bio_split() to split the orignal bio if it goes across barrier unit
bounday, to make the code more simple, by suggestion from Shaohua and
Neil.
- Use hash_long() to replace original linear hash, to avoid a possible
confilict between resync I/O and sequential write I/O, by suggestion from
Shaohua.
- Add conf->total_barriers to record barrier depth, which is used to
control number of parallel sync I/O barriers, by suggestion from Shaohua.
- In V1 patch the bellowed barrier buckets related members in r1conf are
allocated in memory page. To make the code more simple, V2 patch moves
the memory space into struct r1conf, like this,
- int nr_pending;
- int nr_waiting;
- int nr_queued;
- int barrier;
+ int nr_pending[BARRIER_BUCKETS_NR];
+ int nr_waiting[BARRIER_BUCKETS_NR];
+ int nr_queued[BARRIER_BUCKETS_NR];
+ int barrier[BARRIER_BUCKETS_NR];
This change is by the suggestion from Shaohua.
- Remove some inrelavent code comments, by suggestion from Guoqing.
- Add a missing wait_barrier() before jumping to retry_write, in
raid1_make_write_request().
V1:
- Original RFC patch for comments

RAID1: a new I/O barrier implementation to remove resync window
'Commit 79ef3a8aa1cb ("raid1: Rewrite the implementation of iobarrier.")'
introduces a sliding resync window for raid1 I/O barrier, this idea limits
I/O barriers to happen only inside a slidingresync window, for regular
I/Os out of this resync window they don't need to wait for barrier any
more. On large raid1 device, it helps a lot to improve parallel writing
I/O throughput when there are background resync I/Os performing at
same time.
The idea of sliding resync widow is awesome, but code complexity is a
challenge. Sliding resync window requires several variables to work
collectively, this is complexed and very hard to make it work correctly.
Just grep "Fixes: 79ef3a8aa1" in kernel git log, there are 8 more patches
to fix the original resync window patch. This is not the end, any further
related modification may easily introduce more regreassion.
Therefore I decide to implement a much simpler raid1 I/O barrier, by
removing resync window code, I believe life will be much easier.
The brief idea of the simpler barrier is,
- Do not maintain a global unique resync window
- Use multiple hash buckets to reduce I/O barrier conflicts, regular
I/O only has to wait for a resync I/O when both them have same barrier
bucket index, vice versa.
- I/O barrier can be reduced to an acceptable number if there are enough
barrier buckets
Here I explain how the barrier buckets are designed,
- BARRIER_UNIT_SECTOR_SIZE
The whole LBA address space of a raid1 device is divided into multiple
barrier units, by the size of BARRIER_UNIT_SECTOR_SIZE.
Bio requests won't go across border of barrier unit size, that means
maximum bio size is BARRIER_UNIT_SECTOR_SIZE<<9 (64MB) in bytes.
For random I/O 64MB is large enough for both read and write requests,
for sequential I/O considering underlying block layer may merge them
into larger requests, 64MB is still good enough.
Neil also points out that for resync operation, "we want the resync to
move from region to region fairly quickly so that the slowness caused
by having to synchronize with the resync is averaged out over a fairly
small time frame". For full speed resync, 64MB should take less then 1
second. When resync is competing with other I/O, it could take up a few
minutes. Therefore 64MB size is fairly good range for resync.
- BARRIER_BUCKETS_NR
There are BARRIER_BUCKETS_NR buckets in total, which is defined by,
#define BARRIER_BUCKETS_NR_BITS (PAGE_SHIFT - 2)
#define BARRIER_BUCKETS_NR (1<<BARRIER_BUCKETS_NR_BITS)
this patch makes the bellowed members of struct r1conf from integer
to array of integers,
- int nr_pending;
- int nr_waiting;
- int nr_queued;
- int barrier;
+ int *nr_pending;
+ int *nr_waiting;
+ int *nr_queued;
+ int *barrier;
number of the array elements is defined as BARRIER_BUCKETS_NR. For 4KB
kernel space page size, (PAGE_SHIFT - 2) indecates there are 1024 I/O
barrier buckets, and each array of integers occupies single memory page.
1024 means for a request which is smaller than the I/O barrier unit size
has ~0.1% chance to wait for resync to pause, which is quite a small
enough fraction. Also requesting single memory page is more friendly to
kernel page allocator than larger memory size.
- I/O barrier bucket is indexed by bio start sector
If multiple I/O requests hit different I/O barrier units, they only need
to compete I/O barrier with other I/Os which hit the same I/O barrier
bucket index with each other. The index of a barrier bucket which a
bio should look for is calculated by sector_to_idx() which is defined
in raid1.h as an inline function,
static inline int sector_to_idx(sector_t sector)
{
return hash_long(sector >> BARRIER_UNIT_SECTOR_BITS,
BARRIER_BUCKETS_NR_BITS);
}
Here sector_nr is the start sector number of a bio.
- Single bio won't go across boundary of a I/O barrier unit
If a request goes across boundary of barrier unit, it will be split. A
bio may be split in raid1_make_request() or raid1_sync_request(), if
sectors returned by align_to_barrier_unit_end() is smaller than
original bio size.
Comparing to single sliding resync window,
- Currently resync I/O grows linearly, therefore regular and resync I/O
will conflict within a single barrier units. So the I/O behavior is
similar to single sliding resync window.
- But a barrier unit bucket is shared by all barrier units with identical
barrier uinit index, the probability of conflict might be higher
than single sliding resync window, in condition that writing I/Os
always hit barrier units which have identical barrier bucket indexs with
the resync I/Os. This is a very rare condition in real I/O work loads,
I cannot imagine how it could happen in practice.
- Therefore we can achieve a good enough low conflict rate with much
simpler barrier algorithm and implementation.
There are two changes should be noticed,
- In raid1d(), I change the code to decrease conf->nr_pending[idx] into
single loop, it looks like this,
spin_lock_irqsave(&conf->device_lock, flags);
conf->nr_queued[idx]--;
spin_unlock_irqrestore(&conf->device_lock, flags);
This change generates more spin lock operations, but in next patch of
this patch set, it will be replaced by a single line code,
atomic_dec(&conf->nr_queueud[idx]);
So we don't need to worry about spin lock cost here.
- Mainline raid1 code split original raid1_make_request() into
raid1_read_request() and raid1_write_request(). If the original bio
goes across an I/O barrier unit size, this bio will be split before
calling raid1_read_request() or raid1_write_request(), this change
the code logic more simple and clear.
- In this patch wait_barrier() is moved from raid1_make_request() to
raid1_write_request(). In raid_read_request(), original wait_barrier()
is replaced by raid1_read_request().
The differnece is wait_read_barrier() only waits if array is frozen,
using different barrier function in different code path makes the code
more clean and easy to read.
Changelog
V4:
- Add alloc_r1bio() to remove redundant r1bio memory allocation code.
- Fix many typos in patch comments.
- Use (PAGE_SHIFT - ilog2(sizeof(int))) to define BARRIER_BUCKETS_NR_BITS.
V3:
- Rebase the patch against latest upstream kernel code.
- Many fixes by review comments from Neil,
- Back to use pointers to replace arraries in struct r1conf
- Remove total_barriers from struct r1conf
- Add more patch comments to explain how/why the values of
BARRIER_UNIT_SECTOR_SIZE and BARRIER_BUCKETS_NR are decided.
- Use get_unqueued_pending() to replace get_all_pendings() and
get_all_queued()
- Increase bucket number from 512 to 1024
- Change code comments format by review from Shaohua.
V2:
- Use bio_split() to split the orignal bio if it goes across barrier unit
bounday, to make the code more simple, by suggestion from Shaohua and
Neil.
- Use hash_long() to replace original linear hash, to avoid a possible
confilict between resync I/O and sequential write I/O, by suggestion from
Shaohua.
- Add conf->total_barriers to record barrier depth, which is used to
control number of parallel sync I/O barriers, by suggestion from Shaohua.
- In V1 patch the bellowed barrier buckets related members in r1conf are
allocated in memory page. To make the code more simple, V2 patch moves
the memory space into struct r1conf, like this,
- int nr_pending;
- int nr_waiting;
- int nr_queued;
- int barrier;
+ int nr_pending[BARRIER_BUCKETS_NR];
+ int nr_waiting[BARRIER_BUCKETS_NR];
+ int nr_queued[BARRIER_BUCKETS_NR];
+ int barrier[BARRIER_BUCKETS_NR];
This change is by the suggestion from Shaohua.
- Remove some inrelavent code comments, by suggestion from Guoqing.
- Add a missing wait_barrier() before jumping to retry_write, in
raid1_make_write_request().
V1:
- Original RFC patch for comments

md/raid1: simplify handle_read_error().
handle_read_error() duplicates a lot of the work that raid1_read_request()
does, so it makes sense to just use that function.
This doesn't quite work as handle_read_error() relies on the same r1bio
being re-used so that, in the case of a read-only array, setting
IO_BLOCKED in r1bio->bios[] ensures read_balance() won't re-use
that device.
So we need to allow a r1bio to be passed to raid1_read_request(), and to
have that function mostly initialise the r1bio, but leave the bios[]
array untouched.
Two parts of handle_read_error() that need to be preserved are the warning
message it prints, so they are conditionally added to raid1_read_request().
Note that this highlights a minor bug on alloc_r1bio(). It doesn't
initalise the bios[] array, so it is possible that old content is there,
which might cause read_balance() to ignore some devices with no good reason.
With this change, we no longer need inc_pending(), or the sectors_handled
arg to alloc_r1bio().
As handle_read_error() is called from raid1d() and allocates memory,
there is tiny chance of a deadlock. All element of various pools
could be queued waiting for raid1 to handle them, and there may be no
extra memory free.
Achieving guaranteed forward progress would probably require a second
thread and another mempool. Instead of that complexity, add
__GFP_HIGH to any allocations when read1_read_request() is called
from raid1d.

md/raid1: simplify the splitting of requests.
raid1 currently splits requests in two different ways for
two different reasons.
First, bio_split() is used to ensure the bio fits within a
resync accounting region.
Second, multiple r1bios are allocated for each bio to handle
the possiblity of known bad blocks on some devices.
This can be simplified to just use bio_split() once, and not
use multiple r1bios.
We delay the split until we know a maximum bio size that can
be handled with a single r1bio, and then split the bio and
queue the remainder for later handling.
This avoids all loops inside raid1.c request handling. Just
a single read, or a single set of writes, is submitted to
lower-level devices for each bio that comes from
generic_make_request().
When the bio needs to be split, generic_make_request() will
do the necessary looping and call md_make_request() multiple
times.
raid1_make_request() no longer queues request for raid1 to handle,
so we can remove that branch from the 'if'.
This patch also creates a new private bio_set
(conf->bio_split) for splitting bios. Using fs_bio_set
is wrong, as it is meant to be used by filesystems, not
block devices. Using it inside md can lead to deadlocks
under high memory pressure.

RAID1: a new I/O barrier implementation to remove resync window
'Commit 79ef3a8aa1cb ("raid1: Rewrite the implementation of iobarrier.")'
introduces a sliding resync window for raid1 I/O barrier, this idea limits
I/O barriers to happen only inside a slidingresync window, for regular
I/Os out of this resync window they don't need to wait for barrier any
more. On large raid1 device, it helps a lot to improve parallel writing
I/O throughput when there are background resync I/Os performing at
same time.
The idea of sliding resync widow is awesome, but code complexity is a
challenge. Sliding resync window requires several variables to work
collectively, this is complexed and very hard to make it work correctly.
Just grep "Fixes: 79ef3a8aa1" in kernel git log, there are 8 more patches
to fix the original resync window patch. This is not the end, any further
related modification may easily introduce more regreassion.
Therefore I decide to implement a much simpler raid1 I/O barrier, by
removing resync window code, I believe life will be much easier.
The brief idea of the simpler barrier is,
- Do not maintain a global unique resync window
- Use multiple hash buckets to reduce I/O barrier conflicts, regular
I/O only has to wait for a resync I/O when both them have same barrier
bucket index, vice versa.
- I/O barrier can be reduced to an acceptable number if there are enough
barrier buckets
Here I explain how the barrier buckets are designed,
- BARRIER_UNIT_SECTOR_SIZE
The whole LBA address space of a raid1 device is divided into multiple
barrier units, by the size of BARRIER_UNIT_SECTOR_SIZE.
Bio requests won't go across border of barrier unit size, that means
maximum bio size is BARRIER_UNIT_SECTOR_SIZE<<9 (64MB) in bytes.
For random I/O 64MB is large enough for both read and write requests,
for sequential I/O considering underlying block layer may merge them
into larger requests, 64MB is still good enough.
Neil also points out that for resync operation, "we want the resync to
move from region to region fairly quickly so that the slowness caused
by having to synchronize with the resync is averaged out over a fairly
small time frame". For full speed resync, 64MB should take less then 1
second. When resync is competing with other I/O, it could take up a few
minutes. Therefore 64MB size is fairly good range for resync.
- BARRIER_BUCKETS_NR
There are BARRIER_BUCKETS_NR buckets in total, which is defined by,
#define BARRIER_BUCKETS_NR_BITS (PAGE_SHIFT - 2)
#define BARRIER_BUCKETS_NR (1<<BARRIER_BUCKETS_NR_BITS)
this patch makes the bellowed members of struct r1conf from integer
to array of integers,
- int nr_pending;
- int nr_waiting;
- int nr_queued;
- int barrier;
+ int *nr_pending;
+ int *nr_waiting;
+ int *nr_queued;
+ int *barrier;
number of the array elements is defined as BARRIER_BUCKETS_NR. For 4KB
kernel space page size, (PAGE_SHIFT - 2) indecates there are 1024 I/O
barrier buckets, and each array of integers occupies single memory page.
1024 means for a request which is smaller than the I/O barrier unit size
has ~0.1% chance to wait for resync to pause, which is quite a small
enough fraction. Also requesting single memory page is more friendly to
kernel page allocator than larger memory size.
- I/O barrier bucket is indexed by bio start sector
If multiple I/O requests hit different I/O barrier units, they only need
to compete I/O barrier with other I/Os which hit the same I/O barrier
bucket index with each other. The index of a barrier bucket which a
bio should look for is calculated by sector_to_idx() which is defined
in raid1.h as an inline function,
static inline int sector_to_idx(sector_t sector)
{
return hash_long(sector >> BARRIER_UNIT_SECTOR_BITS,
BARRIER_BUCKETS_NR_BITS);
}
Here sector_nr is the start sector number of a bio.
- Single bio won't go across boundary of a I/O barrier unit
If a request goes across boundary of barrier unit, it will be split. A
bio may be split in raid1_make_request() or raid1_sync_request(), if
sectors returned by align_to_barrier_unit_end() is smaller than
original bio size.
Comparing to single sliding resync window,
- Currently resync I/O grows linearly, therefore regular and resync I/O
will conflict within a single barrier units. So the I/O behavior is
similar to single sliding resync window.
- But a barrier unit bucket is shared by all barrier units with identical
barrier uinit index, the probability of conflict might be higher
than single sliding resync window, in condition that writing I/Os
always hit barrier units which have identical barrier bucket indexs with
the resync I/Os. This is a very rare condition in real I/O work loads,
I cannot imagine how it could happen in practice.
- Therefore we can achieve a good enough low conflict rate with much
simpler barrier algorithm and implementation.
There are two changes should be noticed,
- In raid1d(), I change the code to decrease conf->nr_pending[idx] into
single loop, it looks like this,
spin_lock_irqsave(&conf->device_lock, flags);
conf->nr_queued[idx]--;
spin_unlock_irqrestore(&conf->device_lock, flags);
This change generates more spin lock operations, but in next patch of
this patch set, it will be replaced by a single line code,
atomic_dec(&conf->nr_queueud[idx]);
So we don't need to worry about spin lock cost here.
- Mainline raid1 code split original raid1_make_request() into
raid1_read_request() and raid1_write_request(). If the original bio
goes across an I/O barrier unit size, this bio will be split before
calling raid1_read_request() or raid1_write_request(), this change
the code logic more simple and clear.
- In this patch wait_barrier() is moved from raid1_make_request() to
raid1_write_request(). In raid_read_request(), original wait_barrier()
is replaced by raid1_read_request().
The differnece is wait_read_barrier() only waits if array is frozen,
using different barrier function in different code path makes the code
more clean and easy to read.
Changelog
V4:
- Add alloc_r1bio() to remove redundant r1bio memory allocation code.
- Fix many typos in patch comments.
- Use (PAGE_SHIFT - ilog2(sizeof(int))) to define BARRIER_BUCKETS_NR_BITS.
V3:
- Rebase the patch against latest upstream kernel code.
- Many fixes by review comments from Neil,
- Back to use pointers to replace arraries in struct r1conf
- Remove total_barriers from struct r1conf
- Add more patch comments to explain how/why the values of
BARRIER_UNIT_SECTOR_SIZE and BARRIER_BUCKETS_NR are decided.
- Use get_unqueued_pending() to replace get_all_pendings() and
get_all_queued()
- Increase bucket number from 512 to 1024
- Change code comments format by review from Shaohua.
V2:
- Use bio_split() to split the orignal bio if it goes across barrier unit
bounday, to make the code more simple, by suggestion from Shaohua and
Neil.
- Use hash_long() to replace original linear hash, to avoid a possible
confilict between resync I/O and sequential write I/O, by suggestion from
Shaohua.
- Add conf->total_barriers to record barrier depth, which is used to
control number of parallel sync I/O barriers, by suggestion from Shaohua.
- In V1 patch the bellowed barrier buckets related members in r1conf are
allocated in memory page. To make the code more simple, V2 patch moves
the memory space into struct r1conf, like this,
- int nr_pending;
- int nr_waiting;
- int nr_queued;
- int barrier;
+ int nr_pending[BARRIER_BUCKETS_NR];
+ int nr_waiting[BARRIER_BUCKETS_NR];
+ int nr_queued[BARRIER_BUCKETS_NR];
+ int barrier[BARRIER_BUCKETS_NR];
This change is by the suggestion from Shaohua.
- Remove some inrelavent code comments, by suggestion from Guoqing.
- Add a missing wait_barrier() before jumping to retry_write, in
raid1_make_write_request().
V1:
- Original RFC patch for comments

md/raid1: simplify the splitting of requests.
raid1 currently splits requests in two different ways for
two different reasons.
First, bio_split() is used to ensure the bio fits within a
resync accounting region.
Second, multiple r1bios are allocated for each bio to handle
the possiblity of known bad blocks on some devices.
This can be simplified to just use bio_split() once, and not
use multiple r1bios.
We delay the split until we know a maximum bio size that can
be handled with a single r1bio, and then split the bio and
queue the remainder for later handling.
This avoids all loops inside raid1.c request handling. Just
a single read, or a single set of writes, is submitted to
lower-level devices for each bio that comes from
generic_make_request().
When the bio needs to be split, generic_make_request() will
do the necessary looping and call md_make_request() multiple
times.
raid1_make_request() no longer queues request for raid1 to handle,
so we can remove that branch from the 'if'.
This patch also creates a new private bio_set
(conf->bio_split) for splitting bios. Using fs_bio_set
is wrong, as it is meant to be used by filesystems, not
block devices. Using it inside md can lead to deadlocks
under high memory pressure.

md/raid1: simplify handle_read_error().
handle_read_error() duplicates a lot of the work that raid1_read_request()
does, so it makes sense to just use that function.
This doesn't quite work as handle_read_error() relies on the same r1bio
being re-used so that, in the case of a read-only array, setting
IO_BLOCKED in r1bio->bios[] ensures read_balance() won't re-use
that device.
So we need to allow a r1bio to be passed to raid1_read_request(), and to
have that function mostly initialise the r1bio, but leave the bios[]
array untouched.
Two parts of handle_read_error() that need to be preserved are the warning
message it prints, so they are conditionally added to raid1_read_request().
Note that this highlights a minor bug on alloc_r1bio(). It doesn't
initalise the bios[] array, so it is possible that old content is there,
which might cause read_balance() to ignore some devices with no good reason.
With this change, we no longer need inc_pending(), or the sectors_handled
arg to alloc_r1bio().
As handle_read_error() is called from raid1d() and allocates memory,
there is tiny chance of a deadlock. All element of various pools
could be queued waiting for raid1 to handle them, and there may be no
extra memory free.
Achieving guaranteed forward progress would probably require a second
thread and another mempool. Instead of that complexity, add
__GFP_HIGH to any allocations when read1_read_request() is called
from raid1d.

md/raid1: fix NULL pointer dereference
In handle_write_finished(), if r1_bio->bios[m] != NULL, it thinks
the corresponding conf->mirrors[m].rdev is also not NULL. But, it
is not always true.
Even if some io hold replacement rdev(i.e. rdev->nr_pending.count > 0),
raid1_remove_disk() can also set the rdev as NULL. That means,
bios[m] != NULL, but mirrors[m].rdev is NULL, resulting in NULL
pointer dereference in handle_write_finished and sync_request_write.
This patch can fix BUGs as follows:

RAID1: a new I/O barrier implementation to remove resync window
'Commit 79ef3a8aa1cb ("raid1: Rewrite the implementation of iobarrier.")'
introduces a sliding resync window for raid1 I/O barrier, this idea limits
I/O barriers to happen only inside a slidingresync window, for regular
I/Os out of this resync window they don't need to wait for barrier any
more. On large raid1 device, it helps a lot to improve parallel writing
I/O throughput when there are background resync I/Os performing at
same time.
The idea of sliding resync widow is awesome, but code complexity is a
challenge. Sliding resync window requires several variables to work
collectively, this is complexed and very hard to make it work correctly.
Just grep "Fixes: 79ef3a8aa1" in kernel git log, there are 8 more patches
to fix the original resync window patch. This is not the end, any further
related modification may easily introduce more regreassion.
Therefore I decide to implement a much simpler raid1 I/O barrier, by
removing resync window code, I believe life will be much easier.
The brief idea of the simpler barrier is,
- Do not maintain a global unique resync window
- Use multiple hash buckets to reduce I/O barrier conflicts, regular
I/O only has to wait for a resync I/O when both them have same barrier
bucket index, vice versa.
- I/O barrier can be reduced to an acceptable number if there are enough
barrier buckets
Here I explain how the barrier buckets are designed,
- BARRIER_UNIT_SECTOR_SIZE
The whole LBA address space of a raid1 device is divided into multiple
barrier units, by the size of BARRIER_UNIT_SECTOR_SIZE.
Bio requests won't go across border of barrier unit size, that means
maximum bio size is BARRIER_UNIT_SECTOR_SIZE<<9 (64MB) in bytes.
For random I/O 64MB is large enough for both read and write requests,
for sequential I/O considering underlying block layer may merge them
into larger requests, 64MB is still good enough.
Neil also points out that for resync operation, "we want the resync to
move from region to region fairly quickly so that the slowness caused
by having to synchronize with the resync is averaged out over a fairly
small time frame". For full speed resync, 64MB should take less then 1
second. When resync is competing with other I/O, it could take up a few
minutes. Therefore 64MB size is fairly good range for resync.
- BARRIER_BUCKETS_NR
There are BARRIER_BUCKETS_NR buckets in total, which is defined by,
#define BARRIER_BUCKETS_NR_BITS (PAGE_SHIFT - 2)
#define BARRIER_BUCKETS_NR (1<<BARRIER_BUCKETS_NR_BITS)
this patch makes the bellowed members of struct r1conf from integer
to array of integers,
- int nr_pending;
- int nr_waiting;
- int nr_queued;
- int barrier;
+ int *nr_pending;
+ int *nr_waiting;
+ int *nr_queued;
+ int *barrier;
number of the array elements is defined as BARRIER_BUCKETS_NR. For 4KB
kernel space page size, (PAGE_SHIFT - 2) indecates there are 1024 I/O
barrier buckets, and each array of integers occupies single memory page.
1024 means for a request which is smaller than the I/O barrier unit size
has ~0.1% chance to wait for resync to pause, which is quite a small
enough fraction. Also requesting single memory page is more friendly to
kernel page allocator than larger memory size.
- I/O barrier bucket is indexed by bio start sector
If multiple I/O requests hit different I/O barrier units, they only need
to compete I/O barrier with other I/Os which hit the same I/O barrier
bucket index with each other. The index of a barrier bucket which a
bio should look for is calculated by sector_to_idx() which is defined
in raid1.h as an inline function,
static inline int sector_to_idx(sector_t sector)
{
return hash_long(sector >> BARRIER_UNIT_SECTOR_BITS,
BARRIER_BUCKETS_NR_BITS);
}
Here sector_nr is the start sector number of a bio.
- Single bio won't go across boundary of a I/O barrier unit
If a request goes across boundary of barrier unit, it will be split. A
bio may be split in raid1_make_request() or raid1_sync_request(), if
sectors returned by align_to_barrier_unit_end() is smaller than
original bio size.
Comparing to single sliding resync window,
- Currently resync I/O grows linearly, therefore regular and resync I/O
will conflict within a single barrier units. So the I/O behavior is
similar to single sliding resync window.
- But a barrier unit bucket is shared by all barrier units with identical
barrier uinit index, the probability of conflict might be higher
than single sliding resync window, in condition that writing I/Os
always hit barrier units which have identical barrier bucket indexs with
the resync I/Os. This is a very rare condition in real I/O work loads,
I cannot imagine how it could happen in practice.
- Therefore we can achieve a good enough low conflict rate with much
simpler barrier algorithm and implementation.
There are two changes should be noticed,
- In raid1d(), I change the code to decrease conf->nr_pending[idx] into
single loop, it looks like this,
spin_lock_irqsave(&conf->device_lock, flags);
conf->nr_queued[idx]--;
spin_unlock_irqrestore(&conf->device_lock, flags);
This change generates more spin lock operations, but in next patch of
this patch set, it will be replaced by a single line code,
atomic_dec(&conf->nr_queueud[idx]);
So we don't need to worry about spin lock cost here.
- Mainline raid1 code split original raid1_make_request() into
raid1_read_request() and raid1_write_request(). If the original bio
goes across an I/O barrier unit size, this bio will be split before
calling raid1_read_request() or raid1_write_request(), this change
the code logic more simple and clear.
- In this patch wait_barrier() is moved from raid1_make_request() to
raid1_write_request(). In raid_read_request(), original wait_barrier()
is replaced by raid1_read_request().
The differnece is wait_read_barrier() only waits if array is frozen,
using different barrier function in different code path makes the code
more clean and easy to read.
Changelog
V4:
- Add alloc_r1bio() to remove redundant r1bio memory allocation code.
- Fix many typos in patch comments.
- Use (PAGE_SHIFT - ilog2(sizeof(int))) to define BARRIER_BUCKETS_NR_BITS.
V3:
- Rebase the patch against latest upstream kernel code.
- Many fixes by review comments from Neil,
- Back to use pointers to replace arraries in struct r1conf
- Remove total_barriers from struct r1conf
- Add more patch comments to explain how/why the values of
BARRIER_UNIT_SECTOR_SIZE and BARRIER_BUCKETS_NR are decided.
- Use get_unqueued_pending() to replace get_all_pendings() and
get_all_queued()
- Increase bucket number from 512 to 1024
- Change code comments format by review from Shaohua.
V2:
- Use bio_split() to split the orignal bio if it goes across barrier unit
bounday, to make the code more simple, by suggestion from Shaohua and
Neil.
- Use hash_long() to replace original linear hash, to avoid a possible
confilict between resync I/O and sequential write I/O, by suggestion from
Shaohua.
- Add conf->total_barriers to record barrier depth, which is used to
control number of parallel sync I/O barriers, by suggestion from Shaohua.
- In V1 patch the bellowed barrier buckets related members in r1conf are
allocated in memory page. To make the code more simple, V2 patch moves
the memory space into struct r1conf, like this,
- int nr_pending;
- int nr_waiting;
- int nr_queued;
- int barrier;
+ int nr_pending[BARRIER_BUCKETS_NR];
+ int nr_waiting[BARRIER_BUCKETS_NR];
+ int nr_queued[BARRIER_BUCKETS_NR];
+ int barrier[BARRIER_BUCKETS_NR];
This change is by the suggestion from Shaohua.
- Remove some inrelavent code comments, by suggestion from Guoqing.
- Add a missing wait_barrier() before jumping to retry_write, in
raid1_make_write_request().
V1:
- Original RFC patch for comments

small time frame". For full speed resync, 64MB should take less then 1
second. When resync is competing with other I/O, it could take up a few
minutes. Therefore 64MB size is fairly good range for resync.
- BARRIER_BUCKETS_NR
There are BARRIER_BUCKETS_NR buckets in total, which is defined by,
#define BARRIER_BUCKETS_NR_BITS (PAGE_SHIFT - 2)
#define BARRIER_BUCKETS_NR (1<<BARRIER_BUCKETS_NR_BITS)
this patch makes the bellowed members of struct r1conf from integer
to array of integers,
- int nr_pending;
- int nr_waiting;
- int nr_queued;
- int barrier;
+ int *nr_pending;
+ int *nr_waiting;
+ int *nr_queued;
+ int *barrier;
number of the array elements is defined as BARRIER_BUCKETS_NR. For 4KB
kernel space page size, (PAGE_SHIFT - 2) indecates there are 1024 I/O
barrier buckets, and each array of integers occupies single memory page.
1024 means for a request which is smaller than the I/O barrier unit size
has ~0.1% chance to wait for resync to pause, which is quite a small
enough fraction. Also requesting single memory page is more friendly to
kernel page allocator than larger memory size.
- I/O barrier bucket is indexed by bio start sector
If multiple I/O requests hit different I/O barrier units, they only need
to compete I/O barrier with other I/Os which hit the same I/O barrier
bucket index with each other. The index of a barrier bucket which a
bio should look for is calculated by sector_to_idx() which is defined
in raid1.h as an inline function,
static inline int sector_to_idx(sector_t sector)
{
return hash_long(sector >> BARRIER_UNIT_SECTOR_BITS,
BARRIER_BUCKETS_NR_BITS);
}
Here sector_nr is the start sector number of a bio.
- Single bio won't go across boundary of a I/O barrier unit
If a request goes across boundary of barrier unit, it will be split. A
bio may be split in raid1_make_request() or raid1_sync_request(), if
sectors returned by align_to_barrier_unit_end() is smaller than
original bio size.
Comparing to single sliding resync window,
- Currently resync I/O grows linearly, therefore regular and resync I/O
will conflict within a single barrier units. So the I/O behavior is
similar to single sliding resync window.
- But a barrier unit bucket is shared by all barrier units with identical
barrier uinit index, the probability of conflict might be higher
than single sliding resync window, in condition that writing I/Os
always hit barrier units which have identical barrier bucket indexs with
the resync I/Os. This is a very rare condition in real I/O work loads,
I cannot imagine how it could happen in practice.
- Therefore we can achieve a good enough low conflict rate with much
simpler barrier algorithm and implementation.
There are two changes should be noticed,
- In raid1d(), I change the code to decrease conf->nr_pending[idx] into
single loop, it looks like this,
spin_lock_irqsave(&conf->device_lock, flags);
conf->nr_queued[idx]--;
spin_unlock_irqrestore(&conf->device_lock, flags);
This change generates more spin lock operations, but in next patch of
this patch set, it will be replaced by a single line code,
atomic_dec(&conf->nr_queueud[idx]);
So we don't need to worry about spin lock cost here.
- Mainline raid1 code split original raid1_make_request() into
raid1_read_request() and raid1_write_request(). If the original bio
goes across an I/O barrier unit size, this bio will be split before
calling raid1_read_request() or raid1_write_request(), this change
the code logic more simple and clear.
- In this patch wait_barrier() is moved from raid1_make_request() to
raid1_write_request(). In raid_read_request(), original wait_barrier()
is replaced by raid1_read_request().
The differnece is wait_read_barrier() only waits if array is frozen,
using different barrier function in different code path makes the code
more clean and easy to read.

RAID1: a new I/O barrier implementation to remove resync window
'Commit 79ef3a8aa1cb ("raid1: Rewrite the implementation of iobarrier.")'
introduces a sliding resync window for raid1 I/O barrier, this idea limits
I/O barriers to happen only inside a slidingresync window, for regular
I/Os out of this resync window they don't need to wait for barrier any
more. On large raid1 device, it helps a lot to improve parallel writing
I/O throughput when there are background resync I/Os performing at
same time.
The idea of sliding resync widow is awesome, but code complexity is a
challenge. Sliding resync window requires several variables to work
collectively, this is complexed and very hard to make it work correctly.
Just grep "Fixes: 79ef3a8aa1" in kernel git log, there are 8 more patches
to fix the original resync window patch. This is not the end, any further
related modification may easily introduce more regreassion.
Therefore I decide to implement a much simpler raid1 I/O barrier, by
removing resync window code, I believe life will be much easier.
The brief idea of the simpler barrier is,
- Do not maintain a global unique resync window
- Use multiple hash buckets to reduce I/O barrier conflicts, regular
I/O only has to wait for a resync I/O when both them have same barrier
bucket index, vice versa.
- I/O barrier can be reduced to an acceptable number if there are enough
barrier buckets
Here I explain how the barrier buckets are designed,
- BARRIER_UNIT_SECTOR_SIZE
The whole LBA address space of a raid1 device is divided into multiple
barrier units, by the size of BARRIER_UNIT_SECTOR_SIZE.
Bio requests won't go across border of barrier unit size, that means
maximum bio size is BARRIER_UNIT_SECTOR_SIZE<<9 (64MB) in bytes.
For random I/O 64MB is large enough for both read and write requests,
for sequential I/O considering underlying block layer may merge them
into larger requests, 64MB is still good enough.
Neil also points out that for resync operation, "we want the resync to
move from region to region fairly quickly so that the slowness caused
by having to synchronize with the resync is averaged out over a fairly
small time frame". For full speed resync, 64MB should take less then 1
second. When resync is competing with other I/O, it could take up a few
minutes. Therefore 64MB size is fairly good range for resync.
- BARRIER_BUCKETS_NR
There are BARRIER_BUCKETS_NR buckets in total, which is defined by,
#define BARRIER_BUCKETS_NR_BITS (PAGE_SHIFT - 2)
#define BARRIER_BUCKETS_NR (1<<BARRIER_BUCKETS_NR_BITS)
this patch makes the bellowed members of struct r1conf from integer
to array of integers,
- int nr_pending;
- int nr_waiting;
- int nr_queued;
- int barrier;
+ int *nr_pending;
+ int *nr_waiting;
+ int *nr_queued;
+ int *barrier;
number of the array elements is defined as BARRIER_BUCKETS_NR. For 4KB
kernel space page size, (PAGE_SHIFT - 2) indecates there are 1024 I/O
barrier buckets, and each array of integers occupies single memory page.
1024 means for a request which is smaller than the I/O barrier unit size
has ~0.1% chance to wait for resync to pause, which is quite a small
enough fraction. Also requesting single memory page is more friendly to
kernel page allocator than larger memory size.
- I/O barrier bucket is indexed by bio start sector

bucket index with each other. The index of a barrier bucket which a
bio should look for is calculated by sector_to_idx() which is defined
in raid1.h as an inline function,
static inline int sector_to_idx(sector_t sector)
{
return hash_long(sector >> BARRIER_UNIT_SECTOR_BITS,
BARRIER_BUCKETS_NR_BITS);
}
Here sector_nr is the start sector number of a bio.
- Single bio won't go across boundary of a I/O barrier unit
If a request goes across boundary of barrier unit, it will be split. A
bio may be split in raid1_make_request() or raid1_sync_request(), if
sectors returned by align_to_barrier_unit_end() is smaller than
original bio size.
Comparing to single sliding resync window,
- Currently resync I/O grows linearly, therefore regular and resync I/O
will conflict within a single barrier units. So the I/O behavior is

RAID1: avoid unnecessary spin locks in I/O barrier code
When I run a parallel reading performan testing on a md raid1 device with
two NVMe SSDs, I observe very bad throughput in supprise: by fio with 64KB
block size, 40 seq read I/O jobs, 128 iodepth, overall throughput is
only 2.7GB/s, this is around 50% of the idea performance number.
The perf reports locking contention happens at allow_barrier() and
wait_barrier() code,
- 41.41% fio [kernel.kallsyms] [k] _raw_spin_lock_irqsave
- _raw_spin_lock_irqsave
+ 89.92% allow_barrier
+ 9.34% __wake_up
- 37.30% fio [kernel.kallsyms] [k] _raw_spin_lock_irq
- _raw_spin_lock_irq
- 100.00% wait_barrier
The reason is, in these I/O barrier related functions,
- raise_barrier()
- lower_barrier()
- wait_barrier()
- allow_barrier()
They always hold conf->resync_lock firstly, even there are only regular
reading I/Os and no resync I/O at all. This is a huge performance penalty.
The solution is a lockless-like algorithm in I/O barrier code, and only
holding conf->resync_lock when it has to.
The original idea is from Hannes Reinecke, and Neil Brown provides
comments to improve it. I continue to work on it, and make the patch into
current form.
In the new simpler raid1 I/O barrier implementation, there are two
wait barrier functions,
- wait_barrier()
Which calls _wait_barrier(), is used for regular write I/O. If there is
resync I/O happening on the same I/O barrier bucket, or the whole
array is frozen, task will wait until no barrier on same barrier bucket,
or the whold array is unfreezed.
- wait_read_barrier()
Since regular read I/O won't interfere with resync I/O (read_balance()
will make sure only uptodate data will be read out), it is unnecessary
to wait for barrier in regular read I/Os, waiting in only necessary
when the whole array is frozen.
The operations on conf->nr_pending[idx], conf->nr_waiting[idx], conf->
barrier[idx] are very carefully designed in raise_barrier(),
lower_barrier(), _wait_barrier() and wait_read_barrier(), in order to
avoid unnecessary spin locks in these functions. Once conf->
nr_pengding[idx] is increased, a resync I/O with same barrier bucket index
has to wait in raise_barrier(). Then in _wait_barrier() if no barrier
raised in same barrier bucket index and array is not frozen, the regular
I/O doesn't need to hold conf->resync_lock, it can just increase
conf->nr_pending[idx], and return to its caller. wait_read_barrier() is
very similar to _wait_barrier(), the only difference is it only waits when
array is frozen. For heavy parallel reading I/Os, the lockless I/O barrier
code almostly gets rid of all spin lock cost.
This patch significantly improves raid1 reading peroformance. From my
testing, a raid1 device built by two NVMe SSD, runs fio with 64KB
blocksize, 40 seq read I/O jobs, 128 iodepth, overall throughput
increases from 2.7GB/s to 4.6GB/s (+70%).
Changelog
V4:
- Change conf->nr_queued[] to atomic_t.
- Define BARRIER_BUCKETS_NR_BITS by (PAGE_SHIFT - ilog2(sizeof(atomic_t)))
V3:
- Add smp_mb__after_atomic() as Shaohua and Neil suggested.
- Change conf->nr_queued[] from atomic_t to int.
- Change conf->array_frozen from atomic_t back to int, and use
READ_ONCE(conf->array_frozen) to check value of conf->array_frozen
in _wait_barrier() and wait_read_barrier().
- In _wait_barrier() and wait_read_barrier(), add a call to
wake_up(&conf->wait_barrier) after atomic_dec(&conf->nr_pending[idx]),
to fix a deadlock between _wait_barrier()/wait_read_barrier and
freeze_array().

- Remove a spin_lock/unlock pair in raid1d().

md/raid1: simplify handle_read_error().
handle_read_error() duplicates a lot of the work that raid1_read_request()
does, so it makes sense to just use that function.
This doesn't quite work as handle_read_error() relies on the same r1bio
being re-used so that, in the case of a read-only array, setting
IO_BLOCKED in r1bio->bios[] ensures read_balance() won't re-use
that device.
So we need to allow a r1bio to be passed to raid1_read_request(), and to
have that function mostly initialise the r1bio, but leave the bios[]
array untouched.
Two parts of handle_read_error() that need to be preserved are the warning
message it prints, so they are conditionally added to raid1_read_request().
Note that this highlights a minor bug on alloc_r1bio(). It doesn't
initalise the bios[] array, so it is possible that old content is there,
which might cause read_balance() to ignore some devices with no good reason.
With this change, we no longer need inc_pending(), or the sectors_handled
arg to alloc_r1bio().
As handle_read_error() is called from raid1d() and allocates memory,
there is tiny chance of a deadlock. All element of various pools
could be queued waiting for raid1 to handle them, and there may be no
extra memory free.
Achieving guaranteed forward progress would probably require a second
thread and another mempool. Instead of that complexity, add
__GFP_HIGH to any allocations when read1_read_request() is called
from raid1d.

RAID1: a new I/O barrier implementation to remove resync window
'Commit 79ef3a8aa1cb ("raid1: Rewrite the implementation of iobarrier.")'
introduces a sliding resync window for raid1 I/O barrier, this idea limits
I/O barriers to happen only inside a slidingresync window, for regular
I/Os out of this resync window they don't need to wait for barrier any
more. On large raid1 device, it helps a lot to improve parallel writing
I/O throughput when there are background resync I/Os performing at
same time.
The idea of sliding resync widow is awesome, but code complexity is a
challenge. Sliding resync window requires several variables to work
collectively, this is complexed and very hard to make it work correctly.
Just grep "Fixes: 79ef3a8aa1" in kernel git log, there are 8 more patches
to fix the original resync window patch. This is not the end, any further
related modification may easily introduce more regreassion.
Therefore I decide to implement a much simpler raid1 I/O barrier, by
removing resync window code, I believe life will be much easier.
The brief idea of the simpler barrier is,
- Do not maintain a global unique resync window
- Use multiple hash buckets to reduce I/O barrier conflicts, regular
I/O only has to wait for a resync I/O when both them have same barrier
bucket index, vice versa.
- I/O barrier can be reduced to an acceptable number if there are enough
barrier buckets
Here I explain how the barrier buckets are designed,
- BARRIER_UNIT_SECTOR_SIZE
The whole LBA address space of a raid1 device is divided into multiple
barrier units, by the size of BARRIER_UNIT_SECTOR_SIZE.
Bio requests won't go across border of barrier unit size, that means
maximum bio size is BARRIER_UNIT_SECTOR_SIZE<<9 (64MB) in bytes.
For random I/O 64MB is large enough for both read and write requests,
for sequential I/O considering underlying block layer may merge them
into larger requests, 64MB is still good enough.
Neil also points out that for resync operation, "we want the resync to
move from region to region fairly quickly so that the slowness caused
by having to synchronize with the resync is averaged out over a fairly
small time frame". For full speed resync, 64MB should take less then 1
second. When resync is competing with other I/O, it could take up a few
minutes. Therefore 64MB size is fairly good range for resync.
- BARRIER_BUCKETS_NR
There are BARRIER_BUCKETS_NR buckets in total, which is defined by,
#define BARRIER_BUCKETS_NR_BITS (PAGE_SHIFT - 2)
#define BARRIER_BUCKETS_NR (1<<BARRIER_BUCKETS_NR_BITS)
this patch makes the bellowed members of struct r1conf from integer
to array of integers,
- int nr_pending;
- int nr_waiting;
- int nr_queued;
- int barrier;
+ int *nr_pending;
+ int *nr_waiting;
+ int *nr_queued;
+ int *barrier;
number of the array elements is defined as BARRIER_BUCKETS_NR. For 4KB
kernel space page size, (PAGE_SHIFT - 2) indecates there are 1024 I/O
barrier buckets, and each array of integers occupies single memory page.
1024 means for a request which is smaller than the I/O barrier unit size
has ~0.1% chance to wait for resync to pause, which is quite a small
enough fraction. Also requesting single memory page is more friendly to
kernel page allocator than larger memory size.
- I/O barrier bucket is indexed by bio start sector
If multiple I/O requests hit different I/O barrier units, they only need
to compete I/O barrier with other I/Os which hit the same I/O barrier
bucket index with each other. The index of a barrier bucket which a
bio should look for is calculated by sector_to_idx() which is defined
in raid1.h as an inline function,
static inline int sector_to_idx(sector_t sector)
{
return hash_long(sector >> BARRIER_UNIT_SECTOR_BITS,
BARRIER_BUCKETS_NR_BITS);
}
Here sector_nr is the start sector number of a bio.
- Single bio won't go across boundary of a I/O barrier unit
If a request goes across boundary of barrier unit, it will be split. A
bio may be split in raid1_make_request() or raid1_sync_request(), if
sectors returned by align_to_barrier_unit_end() is smaller than
original bio size.
Comparing to single sliding resync window,
- Currently resync I/O grows linearly, therefore regular and resync I/O
will conflict within a single barrier units. So the I/O behavior is
similar to single sliding resync window.
- But a barrier unit bucket is shared by all barrier units with identical
barrier uinit index, the probability of conflict might be higher
than single sliding resync window, in condition that writing I/Os
always hit barrier units which have identical barrier bucket indexs with
the resync I/Os. This is a very rare condition in real I/O work loads,
I cannot imagine how it could happen in practice.
- Therefore we can achieve a good enough low conflict rate with much
simpler barrier algorithm and implementation.
There are two changes should be noticed,
- In raid1d(), I change the code to decrease conf->nr_pending[idx] into
single loop, it looks like this,
spin_lock_irqsave(&conf->device_lock, flags);
conf->nr_queued[idx]--;
spin_unlock_irqrestore(&conf->device_lock, flags);
This change generates more spin lock operations, but in next patch of
this patch set, it will be replaced by a single line code,
atomic_dec(&conf->nr_queueud[idx]);
So we don't need to worry about spin lock cost here.
- Mainline raid1 code split original raid1_make_request() into
raid1_read_request() and raid1_write_request(). If the original bio
goes across an I/O barrier unit size, this bio will be split before
calling raid1_read_request() or raid1_write_request(), this change
the code logic more simple and clear.
- In this patch wait_barrier() is moved from raid1_make_request() to
raid1_write_request(). In raid_read_request(), original wait_barrier()
is replaced by raid1_read_request().
The differnece is wait_read_barrier() only waits if array is frozen,
using different barrier function in different code path makes the code
more clean and easy to read.
Changelog
V4:
- Add alloc_r1bio() to remove redundant r1bio memory allocation code.
- Fix many typos in patch comments.
- Use (PAGE_SHIFT - ilog2(sizeof(int))) to define BARRIER_BUCKETS_NR_BITS.
V3:
- Rebase the patch against latest upstream kernel code.
- Many fixes by review comments from Neil,
- Back to use pointers to replace arraries in struct r1conf
- Remove total_barriers from struct r1conf
- Add more patch comments to explain how/why the values of
BARRIER_UNIT_SECTOR_SIZE and BARRIER_BUCKETS_NR are decided.
- Use get_unqueued_pending() to replace get_all_pendings() and
get_all_queued()
- Increase bucket number from 512 to 1024
- Change code comments format by review from Shaohua.
V2:
- Use bio_split() to split the orignal bio if it goes across barrier unit
bounday, to make the code more simple, by suggestion from Shaohua and
Neil.
- Use hash_long() to replace original linear hash, to avoid a possible
confilict between resync I/O and sequential write I/O, by suggestion from
Shaohua.
- Add conf->total_barriers to record barrier depth, which is used to
control number of parallel sync I/O barriers, by suggestion from Shaohua.
- In V1 patch the bellowed barrier buckets related members in r1conf are
allocated in memory page. To make the code more simple, V2 patch moves
the memory space into struct r1conf, like this,
- int nr_pending;
- int nr_waiting;
- int nr_queued;
- int barrier;
+ int nr_pending[BARRIER_BUCKETS_NR];
+ int nr_waiting[BARRIER_BUCKETS_NR];
+ int nr_queued[BARRIER_BUCKETS_NR];
+ int barrier[BARRIER_BUCKETS_NR];
This change is by the suggestion from Shaohua.
- Remove some inrelavent code comments, by suggestion from Guoqing.
- Add a missing wait_barrier() before jumping to retry_write, in
raid1_make_write_request().

bucket index with each other. The index of a barrier bucket which a
bio should look for is calculated by sector_to_idx() which is defined
in raid1.h as an inline function,
static inline int sector_to_idx(sector_t sector)
{
return hash_long(sector >> BARRIER_UNIT_SECTOR_BITS,
BARRIER_BUCKETS_NR_BITS);
}
Here sector_nr is the start sector number of a bio.
- Single bio won't go across boundary of a I/O barrier unit
If a request goes across boundary of barrier unit, it will be split. A
bio may be split in raid1_make_request() or raid1_sync_request(), if
sectors returned by align_to_barrier_unit_end() is smaller than
original bio size.
Comparing to single sliding resync window,
- Currently resync I/O grows linearly, therefore regular and resync I/O
will conflict within a single barrier units. So the I/O behavior is
similar to single sliding resync window.
- But a barrier unit bucket is shared by all barrier units with identical
barrier uinit index, the probability of conflict might be higher
than single sliding resync window, in condition that writing I/Os
always hit barrier units which have identical barrier bucket indexs with
the resync I/Os. This is a very rare condition in real I/O work loads,
I cannot imagine how it could happen in practice.
- Therefore we can achieve a good enough low conflict rate with much
simpler barrier algorithm and implementation.
There are two changes should be noticed,
- In raid1d(), I change the code to decrease conf->nr_pending[idx] into
single loop, it looks like this,
spin_lock_irqsave(&conf->device_lock, flags);
conf->nr_queued[idx]--;
spin_unlock_irqrestore(&conf->device_lock, flags);
This change generates more spin lock operations, but in next patch of
this patch set, it will be replaced by a single line code,
atomic_dec(&conf->nr_queueud[idx]);
So we don't need to worry about spin lock cost here.
- Mainline raid1 code split original raid1_make_request() into
raid1_read_request() and raid1_write_request(). If the original bio
goes across an I/O barrier unit size, this bio will be split before
calling raid1_read_request() or raid1_write_request(), this change
the code logic more simple and clear.
- In this patch wait_barrier() is moved from raid1_make_request() to
raid1_write_request(). In raid_read_request(), original wait_barrier()
is replaced by raid1_read_request().
The differnece is wait_read_barrier() only waits if array is frozen,
using different barrier function in different code path makes the code
more clean and easy to read.

RAID1: avoid unnecessary spin locks in I/O barrier code
When I run a parallel reading performan testing on a md raid1 device with
two NVMe SSDs, I observe very bad throughput in supprise: by fio with 64KB
block size, 40 seq read I/O jobs, 128 iodepth, overall throughput is
only 2.7GB/s, this is around 50% of the idea performance number.
The perf reports locking contention happens at allow_barrier() and
wait_barrier() code,
- 41.41% fio [kernel.kallsyms] [k] _raw_spin_lock_irqsave
- _raw_spin_lock_irqsave
+ 89.92% allow_barrier
+ 9.34% __wake_up
- 37.30% fio [kernel.kallsyms] [k] _raw_spin_lock_irq
- _raw_spin_lock_irq
- 100.00% wait_barrier
The reason is, in these I/O barrier related functions,
- raise_barrier()
- lower_barrier()
- wait_barrier()
- allow_barrier()
They always hold conf->resync_lock firstly, even there are only regular
reading I/Os and no resync I/O at all. This is a huge performance penalty.
The solution is a lockless-like algorithm in I/O barrier code, and only
holding conf->resync_lock when it has to.
The original idea is from Hannes Reinecke, and Neil Brown provides
comments to improve it. I continue to work on it, and make the patch into
current form.
In the new simpler raid1 I/O barrier implementation, there are two
wait barrier functions,
- wait_barrier()
Which calls _wait_barrier(), is used for regular write I/O. If there is
resync I/O happening on the same I/O barrier bucket, or the whole
array is frozen, task will wait until no barrier on same barrier bucket,
or the whold array is unfreezed.
- wait_read_barrier()
Since regular read I/O won't interfere with resync I/O (read_balance()
will make sure only uptodate data will be read out), it is unnecessary
to wait for barrier in regular read I/Os, waiting in only necessary
when the whole array is frozen.
The operations on conf->nr_pending[idx], conf->nr_waiting[idx], conf->
barrier[idx] are very carefully designed in raise_barrier(),
lower_barrier(), _wait_barrier() and wait_read_barrier(), in order to
avoid unnecessary spin locks in these functions. Once conf->
nr_pengding[idx] is increased, a resync I/O with same barrier bucket index
has to wait in raise_barrier(). Then in _wait_barrier() if no barrier
raised in same barrier bucket index and array is not frozen, the regular
I/O doesn't need to hold conf->resync_lock, it can just increase
conf->nr_pending[idx], and return to its caller. wait_read_barrier() is
very similar to _wait_barrier(), the only difference is it only waits when
array is frozen. For heavy parallel reading I/Os, the lockless I/O barrier
code almostly gets rid of all spin lock cost.
This patch significantly improves raid1 reading peroformance. From my
testing, a raid1 device built by two NVMe SSD, runs fio with 64KB
blocksize, 40 seq read I/O jobs, 128 iodepth, overall throughput
increases from 2.7GB/s to 4.6GB/s (+70%).

RAID1: a new I/O barrier implementation to remove resync window
'Commit 79ef3a8aa1cb ("raid1: Rewrite the implementation of iobarrier.")'
introduces a sliding resync window for raid1 I/O barrier, this idea limits
I/O barriers to happen only inside a slidingresync window, for regular
I/Os out of this resync window they don't need to wait for barrier any
more. On large raid1 device, it helps a lot to improve parallel writing
I/O throughput when there are background resync I/Os performing at
same time.
The idea of sliding resync widow is awesome, but code complexity is a
challenge. Sliding resync window requires several variables to work
collectively, this is complexed and very hard to make it work correctly.
Just grep "Fixes: 79ef3a8aa1" in kernel git log, there are 8 more patches
to fix the original resync window patch. This is not the end, any further
related modification may easily introduce more regreassion.
Therefore I decide to implement a much simpler raid1 I/O barrier, by
removing resync window code, I believe life will be much easier.
The brief idea of the simpler barrier is,
- Do not maintain a global unique resync window
- Use multiple hash buckets to reduce I/O barrier conflicts, regular
I/O only has to wait for a resync I/O when both them have same barrier
bucket index, vice versa.
- I/O barrier can be reduced to an acceptable number if there are enough
barrier buckets
Here I explain how the barrier buckets are designed,
- BARRIER_UNIT_SECTOR_SIZE
The whole LBA address space of a raid1 device is divided into multiple
barrier units, by the size of BARRIER_UNIT_SECTOR_SIZE.
Bio requests won't go across border of barrier unit size, that means
maximum bio size is BARRIER_UNIT_SECTOR_SIZE<<9 (64MB) in bytes.
For random I/O 64MB is large enough for both read and write requests,
for sequential I/O considering underlying block layer may merge them
into larger requests, 64MB is still good enough.
Neil also points out that for resync operation, "we want the resync to
move from region to region fairly quickly so that the slowness caused
by having to synchronize with the resync is averaged out over a fairly
small time frame". For full speed resync, 64MB should take less then 1
second. When resync is competing with other I/O, it could take up a few
minutes. Therefore 64MB size is fairly good range for resync.
- BARRIER_BUCKETS_NR
There are BARRIER_BUCKETS_NR buckets in total, which is defined by,
#define BARRIER_BUCKETS_NR_BITS (PAGE_SHIFT - 2)
#define BARRIER_BUCKETS_NR (1<<BARRIER_BUCKETS_NR_BITS)
this patch makes the bellowed members of struct r1conf from integer
to array of integers,
- int nr_pending;
- int nr_waiting;
- int nr_queued;
- int barrier;
+ int *nr_pending;
+ int *nr_waiting;
+ int *nr_queued;
+ int *barrier;
number of the array elements is defined as BARRIER_BUCKETS_NR. For 4KB
kernel space page size, (PAGE_SHIFT - 2) indecates there are 1024 I/O
barrier buckets, and each array of integers occupies single memory page.
1024 means for a request which is smaller than the I/O barrier unit size
has ~0.1% chance to wait for resync to pause, which is quite a small
enough fraction. Also requesting single memory page is more friendly to
kernel page allocator than larger memory size.
- I/O barrier bucket is indexed by bio start sector
If multiple I/O requests hit different I/O barrier units, they only need
to compete I/O barrier with other I/Os which hit the same I/O barrier
bucket index with each other. The index of a barrier bucket which a
bio should look for is calculated by sector_to_idx() which is defined
in raid1.h as an inline function,
static inline int sector_to_idx(sector_t sector)
{
return hash_long(sector >> BARRIER_UNIT_SECTOR_BITS,
BARRIER_BUCKETS_NR_BITS);
}
Here sector_nr is the start sector number of a bio.
- Single bio won't go across boundary of a I/O barrier unit
If a request goes across boundary of barrier unit, it will be split. A
bio may be split in raid1_make_request() or raid1_sync_request(), if
sectors returned by align_to_barrier_unit_end() is smaller than
original bio size.
Comparing to single sliding resync window,
- Currently resync I/O grows linearly, therefore regular and resync I/O
will conflict within a single barrier units. So the I/O behavior is
similar to single sliding resync window.
- But a barrier unit bucket is shared by all barrier units with identical
barrier uinit index, the probability of conflict might be higher
than single sliding resync window, in condition that writing I/Os
always hit barrier units which have identical barrier bucket indexs with
the resync I/Os. This is a very rare condition in real I/O work loads,
I cannot imagine how it could happen in practice.
- Therefore we can achieve a good enough low conflict rate with much
simpler barrier algorithm and implementation.
There are two changes should be noticed,
- In raid1d(), I change the code to decrease conf->nr_pending[idx] into
single loop, it looks like this,
spin_lock_irqsave(&conf->device_lock, flags);
conf->nr_queued[idx]--;
spin_unlock_irqrestore(&conf->device_lock, flags);
This change generates more spin lock operations, but in next patch of
this patch set, it will be replaced by a single line code,
atomic_dec(&conf->nr_queueud[idx]);
So we don't need to worry about spin lock cost here.
- Mainline raid1 code split original raid1_make_request() into
raid1_read_request() and raid1_write_request(). If the original bio
goes across an I/O barrier unit size, this bio will be split before
calling raid1_read_request() or raid1_write_request(), this change
the code logic more simple and clear.
- In this patch wait_barrier() is moved from raid1_make_request() to
raid1_write_request(). In raid_read_request(), original wait_barrier()
is replaced by raid1_read_request().
The differnece is wait_read_barrier() only waits if array is frozen,

md/raid1: simplify the splitting of requests.
raid1 currently splits requests in two different ways for
two different reasons.
First, bio_split() is used to ensure the bio fits within a
resync accounting region.
Second, multiple r1bios are allocated for each bio to handle
the possiblity of known bad blocks on some devices.
This can be simplified to just use bio_split() once, and not
use multiple r1bios.
We delay the split until we know a maximum bio size that can
be handled with a single r1bio, and then split the bio and
queue the remainder for later handling.
This avoids all loops inside raid1.c request handling. Just
a single read, or a single set of writes, is submitted to
lower-level devices for each bio that comes from
generic_make_request().
When the bio needs to be split, generic_make_request() will
do the necessary looping and call md_make_request() multiple
times.
raid1_make_request() no longer queues request for raid1 to handle,
so we can remove that branch from the 'if'.
This patch also creates a new private bio_set
(conf->bio_split) for splitting bios. Using fs_bio_set
is wrong, as it is meant to be used by filesystems, not
block devices. Using it inside md can lead to deadlocks
under high memory pressure.

RAID1: a new I/O barrier implementation to remove resync window
'Commit 79ef3a8aa1cb ("raid1: Rewrite the implementation of iobarrier.")'
introduces a sliding resync window for raid1 I/O barrier, this idea limits
I/O barriers to happen only inside a slidingresync window, for regular
I/Os out of this resync window they don't need to wait for barrier any
more. On large raid1 device, it helps a lot to improve parallel writing
I/O throughput when there are background resync I/Os performing at
same time.
The idea of sliding resync widow is awesome, but code complexity is a
challenge. Sliding resync window requires several variables to work
collectively, this is complexed and very hard to make it work correctly.
Just grep "Fixes: 79ef3a8aa1" in kernel git log, there are 8 more patches
to fix the original resync window patch. This is not the end, any further
related modification may easily introduce more regreassion.
Therefore I decide to implement a much simpler raid1 I/O barrier, by
removing resync window code, I believe life will be much easier.
The brief idea of the simpler barrier is,
- Do not maintain a global unique resync window
- Use multiple hash buckets to reduce I/O barrier conflicts, regular
I/O only has to wait for a resync I/O when both them have same barrier
bucket index, vice versa.
- I/O barrier can be reduced to an acceptable number if there are enough
barrier buckets
Here I explain how the barrier buckets are designed,
- BARRIER_UNIT_SECTOR_SIZE
The whole LBA address space of a raid1 device is divided into multiple
barrier units, by the size of BARRIER_UNIT_SECTOR_SIZE.
Bio requests won't go across border of barrier unit size, that means
maximum bio size is BARRIER_UNIT_SECTOR_SIZE<<9 (64MB) in bytes.
For random I/O 64MB is large enough for both read and write requests,
for sequential I/O considering underlying block layer may merge them
into larger requests, 64MB is still good enough.
Neil also points out that for resync operation, "we want the resync to
move from region to region fairly quickly so that the slowness caused
by having to synchronize with the resync is averaged out over a fairly
small time frame". For full speed resync, 64MB should take less then 1
second. When resync is competing with other I/O, it could take up a few
minutes. Therefore 64MB size is fairly good range for resync.
- BARRIER_BUCKETS_NR
There are BARRIER_BUCKETS_NR buckets in total, which is defined by,
#define BARRIER_BUCKETS_NR_BITS (PAGE_SHIFT - 2)
#define BARRIER_BUCKETS_NR (1<<BARRIER_BUCKETS_NR_BITS)
this patch makes the bellowed members of struct r1conf from integer
to array of integers,
- int nr_pending;
- int nr_waiting;
- int nr_queued;
- int barrier;
+ int *nr_pending;
+ int *nr_waiting;
+ int *nr_queued;
+ int *barrier;
number of the array elements is defined as BARRIER_BUCKETS_NR. For 4KB
kernel space page size, (PAGE_SHIFT - 2) indecates there are 1024 I/O
barrier buckets, and each array of integers occupies single memory page.
1024 means for a request which is smaller than the I/O barrier unit size
has ~0.1% chance to wait for resync to pause, which is quite a small
enough fraction. Also requesting single memory page is more friendly to
kernel page allocator than larger memory size.
- I/O barrier bucket is indexed by bio start sector
If multiple I/O requests hit different I/O barrier units, they only need
to compete I/O barrier with other I/Os which hit the same I/O barrier
bucket index with each other. The index of a barrier bucket which a
bio should look for is calculated by sector_to_idx() which is defined
in raid1.h as an inline function,
static inline int sector_to_idx(sector_t sector)
{
return hash_long(sector >> BARRIER_UNIT_SECTOR_BITS,
BARRIER_BUCKETS_NR_BITS);
}
Here sector_nr is the start sector number of a bio.
- Single bio won't go across boundary of a I/O barrier unit
If a request goes across boundary of barrier unit, it will be split. A
bio may be split in raid1_make_request() or raid1_sync_request(), if
sectors returned by align_to_barrier_unit_end() is smaller than
original bio size.
Comparing to single sliding resync window,
- Currently resync I/O grows linearly, therefore regular and resync I/O
will conflict within a single barrier units. So the I/O behavior is
similar to single sliding resync window.
- But a barrier unit bucket is shared by all barrier units with identical
barrier uinit index, the probability of conflict might be higher
than single sliding resync window, in condition that writing I/Os
always hit barrier units which have identical barrier bucket indexs with
the resync I/Os. This is a very rare condition in real I/O work loads,
I cannot imagine how it could happen in practice.
- Therefore we can achieve a good enough low conflict rate with much
simpler barrier algorithm and implementation.
There are two changes should be noticed,
- In raid1d(), I change the code to decrease conf->nr_pending[idx] into
single loop, it looks like this,
spin_lock_irqsave(&conf->device_lock, flags);
conf->nr_queued[idx]--;
spin_unlock_irqrestore(&conf->device_lock, flags);
This change generates more spin lock operations, but in next patch of
this patch set, it will be replaced by a single line code,
atomic_dec(&conf->nr_queueud[idx]);
So we don't need to worry about spin lock cost here.
- Mainline raid1 code split original raid1_make_request() into
raid1_read_request() and raid1_write_request(). If the original bio
goes across an I/O barrier unit size, this bio will be split before
calling raid1_read_request() or raid1_write_request(), this change
the code logic more simple and clear.
- In this patch wait_barrier() is moved from raid1_make_request() to
raid1_write_request(). In raid_read_request(), original wait_barrier()
is replaced by raid1_read_request().
The differnece is wait_read_barrier() only waits if array is frozen,
using different barrier function in different code path makes the code
more clean and easy to read.
Changelog
V4:
- Add alloc_r1bio() to remove redundant r1bio memory allocation code.
- Fix many typos in patch comments.
- Use (PAGE_SHIFT - ilog2(sizeof(int))) to define BARRIER_BUCKETS_NR_BITS.
V3:
- Rebase the patch against latest upstream kernel code.
- Many fixes by review comments from Neil,
- Back to use pointers to replace arraries in struct r1conf
- Remove total_barriers from struct r1conf
- Add more patch comments to explain how/why the values of
BARRIER_UNIT_SECTOR_SIZE and BARRIER_BUCKETS_NR are decided.
- Use get_unqueued_pending() to replace get_all_pendings() and
get_all_queued()
- Increase bucket number from 512 to 1024
- Change code comments format by review from Shaohua.
V2:
- Use bio_split() to split the orignal bio if it goes across barrier unit
bounday, to make the code more simple, by suggestion from Shaohua and
Neil.
- Use hash_long() to replace original linear hash, to avoid a possible
confilict between resync I/O and sequential write I/O, by suggestion from
Shaohua.
- Add conf->total_barriers to record barrier depth, which is used to
control number of parallel sync I/O barriers, by suggestion from Shaohua.
- In V1 patch the bellowed barrier buckets related members in r1conf are
allocated in memory page. To make the code more simple, V2 patch moves
the memory space into struct r1conf, like this,
- int nr_pending;
- int nr_waiting;
- int nr_queued;
- int barrier;
+ int nr_pending[BARRIER_BUCKETS_NR];
+ int nr_waiting[BARRIER_BUCKETS_NR];
+ int nr_queued[BARRIER_BUCKETS_NR];
+ int barrier[BARRIER_BUCKETS_NR];
This change is by the suggestion from Shaohua.
- Remove some inrelavent code comments, by suggestion from Guoqing.
- Add a missing wait_barrier() before jumping to retry_write, in
raid1_make_write_request().

RAID1: avoid unnecessary spin locks in I/O barrier code
When I run a parallel reading performan testing on a md raid1 device with
two NVMe SSDs, I observe very bad throughput in supprise: by fio with 64KB
block size, 40 seq read I/O jobs, 128 iodepth, overall throughput is
only 2.7GB/s, this is around 50% of the idea performance number.
The perf reports locking contention happens at allow_barrier() and
wait_barrier() code,
- 41.41% fio [kernel.kallsyms] [k] _raw_spin_lock_irqsave
- _raw_spin_lock_irqsave
+ 89.92% allow_barrier
+ 9.34% __wake_up
- 37.30% fio [kernel.kallsyms] [k] _raw_spin_lock_irq
- _raw_spin_lock_irq
- 100.00% wait_barrier
The reason is, in these I/O barrier related functions,
- raise_barrier()
- lower_barrier()
- wait_barrier()
- allow_barrier()
They always hold conf->resync_lock firstly, even there are only regular
reading I/Os and no resync I/O at all. This is a huge performance penalty.
The solution is a lockless-like algorithm in I/O barrier code, and only
holding conf->resync_lock when it has to.
The original idea is from Hannes Reinecke, and Neil Brown provides
comments to improve it. I continue to work on it, and make the patch into
current form.
In the new simpler raid1 I/O barrier implementation, there are two
wait barrier functions,
- wait_barrier()
Which calls _wait_barrier(), is used for regular write I/O. If there is
resync I/O happening on the same I/O barrier bucket, or the whole
array is frozen, task will wait until no barrier on same barrier bucket,
or the whold array is unfreezed.
- wait_read_barrier()
Since regular read I/O won't interfere with resync I/O (read_balance()
will make sure only uptodate data will be read out), it is unnecessary
to wait for barrier in regular read I/Os, waiting in only necessary
when the whole array is frozen.
The operations on conf->nr_pending[idx], conf->nr_waiting[idx], conf->
barrier[idx] are very carefully designed in raise_barrier(),
lower_barrier(), _wait_barrier() and wait_read_barrier(), in order to
avoid unnecessary spin locks in these functions. Once conf->
nr_pengding[idx] is increased, a resync I/O with same barrier bucket index
has to wait in raise_barrier(). Then in _wait_barrier() if no barrier
raised in same barrier bucket index and array is not frozen, the regular
I/O doesn't need to hold conf->resync_lock, it can just increase
conf->nr_pending[idx], and return to its caller. wait_read_barrier() is
very similar to _wait_barrier(), the only difference is it only waits when
array is frozen. For heavy parallel reading I/Os, the lockless I/O barrier
code almostly gets rid of all spin lock cost.
This patch significantly improves raid1 reading peroformance. From my
testing, a raid1 device built by two NVMe SSD, runs fio with 64KB
blocksize, 40 seq read I/O jobs, 128 iodepth, overall throughput
increases from 2.7GB/s to 4.6GB/s (+70%).
Changelog
V4:
- Change conf->nr_queued[] to atomic_t.
- Define BARRIER_BUCKETS_NR_BITS by (PAGE_SHIFT - ilog2(sizeof(atomic_t)))
V3:
- Add smp_mb__after_atomic() as Shaohua and Neil suggested.
- Change conf->nr_queued[] from atomic_t to int.
- Change conf->array_frozen from atomic_t back to int, and use
READ_ONCE(conf->array_frozen) to check value of conf->array_frozen
in _wait_barrier() and wait_read_barrier().
- In _wait_barrier() and wait_read_barrier(), add a call to
wake_up(&conf->wait_barrier) after atomic_dec(&conf->nr_pending[idx]),
to fix a deadlock between _wait_barrier()/wait_read_barrier and
freeze_array().
V2:
- Remove a spin_lock/unlock pair in raid1d().
- Add more code comments to explain why there is no racy when checking two
atomic_t variables at same time.
V1:
- Original RFC patch for comments.

kernel space page size, (PAGE_SHIFT - 2) indecates there are 1024 I/O
barrier buckets, and each array of integers occupies single memory page.
1024 means for a request which is smaller than the I/O barrier unit size
has ~0.1% chance to wait for resync to pause, which is quite a small
enough fraction. Also requesting single memory page is more friendly to
kernel page allocator than larger memory size.
- I/O barrier bucket is indexed by bio start sector
If multiple I/O requests hit different I/O barrier units, they only need
to compete I/O barrier with other I/Os which hit the same I/O barrier
bucket index with each other. The index of a barrier bucket which a
bio should look for is calculated by sector_to_idx() which is defined
in raid1.h as an inline function,
static inline int sector_to_idx(sector_t sector)
{
return hash_long(sector >> BARRIER_UNIT_SECTOR_BITS,
BARRIER_BUCKETS_NR_BITS);
}
Here sector_nr is the start sector number of a bio.
- Single bio won't go across boundary of a I/O barrier unit
If a request goes across boundary of barrier unit, it will be split. A
bio may be split in raid1_make_request() or raid1_sync_request(), if
sectors returned by align_to_barrier_unit_end() is smaller than
original bio size.
Comparing to single sliding resync window,
- Currently resync I/O grows linearly, therefore regular and resync I/O
will conflict within a single barrier units. So the I/O behavior is
similar to single sliding resync window.
- But a barrier unit bucket is shared by all barrier units with identical
barrier uinit index, the probability of conflict might be higher
than single sliding resync window, in condition that writing I/Os
always hit barrier units which have identical barrier bucket indexs with
the resync I/Os. This is a very rare condition in real I/O work loads,
I cannot imagine how it could happen in practice.
- Therefore we can achieve a good enough low conflict rate with much
simpler barrier algorithm and implementation.
There are two changes should be noticed,
- In raid1d(), I change the code to decrease conf->nr_pending[idx] into
single loop, it looks like this,
spin_lock_irqsave(&conf->device_lock, flags);
conf->nr_queued[idx]--;
spin_unlock_irqrestore(&conf->device_lock, flags);
This change generates more spin lock operations, but in next patch of
this patch set, it will be replaced by a single line code,
atomic_dec(&conf->nr_queueud[idx]);
So we don't need to worry about spin lock cost here.
- Mainline raid1 code split original raid1_make_request() into
raid1_read_request() and raid1_write_request(). If the original bio
goes across an I/O barrier unit size, this bio will be split before
calling raid1_read_request() or raid1_write_request(), this change
the code logic more simple and clear.
- In this patch wait_barrier() is moved from raid1_make_request() to
raid1_write_request(). In raid_read_request(), original wait_barrier()
is replaced by raid1_read_request().
The differnece is wait_read_barrier() only waits if array is frozen,
using different barrier function in different code path makes the code
more clean and easy to read.
Changelog
V4:
- Add alloc_r1bio() to remove redundant r1bio memory allocation code.
- Fix many typos in patch comments.
- Use (PAGE_SHIFT - ilog2(sizeof(int))) to define BARRIER_BUCKETS_NR_BITS.
V3:
- Rebase the patch against latest upstream kernel code.
- Many fixes by review comments from Neil,
- Back to use pointers to replace arraries in struct r1conf
- Remove total_barriers from struct r1conf
- Add more patch comments to explain how/why the values of
BARRIER_UNIT_SECTOR_SIZE and BARRIER_BUCKETS_NR are decided.
- Use get_unqueued_pending() to replace get_all_pendings() and
get_all_queued()
- Increase bucket number from 512 to 1024
- Change code comments format by review from Shaohua.
V2:
- Use bio_split() to split the orignal bio if it goes across barrier unit
bounday, to make the code more simple, by suggestion from Shaohua and
Neil.
- Use hash_long() to replace original linear hash, to avoid a possible
confilict between resync I/O and sequential write I/O, by suggestion from
Shaohua.
- Add conf->total_barriers to record barrier depth, which is used to
control number of parallel sync I/O barriers, by suggestion from Shaohua.
- In V1 patch the bellowed barrier buckets related members in r1conf are
allocated in memory page. To make the code more simple, V2 patch moves
the memory space into struct r1conf, like this,
- int nr_pending;
- int nr_waiting;
- int nr_queued;
- int barrier;
+ int nr_pending[BARRIER_BUCKETS_NR];
+ int nr_waiting[BARRIER_BUCKETS_NR];
+ int nr_queued[BARRIER_BUCKETS_NR];
+ int barrier[BARRIER_BUCKETS_NR];
This change is by the suggestion from Shaohua.
- Remove some inrelavent code comments, by suggestion from Guoqing.
- Add a missing wait_barrier() before jumping to retry_write, in
raid1_make_write_request().
V1:
- Original RFC patch for comments

RAID1: a new I/O barrier implementation to remove resync window
'Commit 79ef3a8aa1cb ("raid1: Rewrite the implementation of iobarrier.")'
introduces a sliding resync window for raid1 I/O barrier, this idea limits
I/O barriers to happen only inside a slidingresync window, for regular
I/Os out of this resync window they don't need to wait for barrier any
more. On large raid1 device, it helps a lot to improve parallel writing
I/O throughput when there are background resync I/Os performing at
same time.
The idea of sliding resync widow is awesome, but code complexity is a
challenge. Sliding resync window requires several variables to work
collectively, this is complexed and very hard to make it work correctly.
Just grep "Fixes: 79ef3a8aa1" in kernel git log, there are 8 more patches
to fix the original resync window patch. This is not the end, any further
related modification may easily introduce more regreassion.
Therefore I decide to implement a much simpler raid1 I/O barrier, by
removing resync window code, I believe life will be much easier.
The brief idea of the simpler barrier is,
- Do not maintain a global unique resync window
- Use multiple hash buckets to reduce I/O barrier conflicts, regular
I/O only has to wait for a resync I/O when both them have same barrier
bucket index, vice versa.
- I/O barrier can be reduced to an acceptable number if there are enough
barrier buckets
Here I explain how the barrier buckets are designed,
- BARRIER_UNIT_SECTOR_SIZE
The whole LBA address space of a raid1 device is divided into multiple
barrier units, by the size of BARRIER_UNIT_SECTOR_SIZE.
Bio requests won't go across border of barrier unit size, that means
maximum bio size is BARRIER_UNIT_SECTOR_SIZE<<9 (64MB) in bytes.
For random I/O 64MB is large enough for both read and write requests,
for sequential I/O considering underlying block layer may merge them
into larger requests, 64MB is still good enough.
Neil also points out that for resync operation, "we want the resync to
move from region to region fairly quickly so that the slowness caused
by having to synchronize with the resync is averaged out over a fairly
small time frame". For full speed resync, 64MB should take less then 1
second. When resync is competing with other I/O, it could take up a few
minutes. Therefore 64MB size is fairly good range for resync.
- BARRIER_BUCKETS_NR
There are BARRIER_BUCKETS_NR buckets in total, which is defined by,
#define BARRIER_BUCKETS_NR_BITS (PAGE_SHIFT - 2)
#define BARRIER_BUCKETS_NR (1<<BARRIER_BUCKETS_NR_BITS)
this patch makes the bellowed members of struct r1conf from integer
to array of integers,
- int nr_pending;
- int nr_waiting;
- int nr_queued;
- int barrier;
+ int *nr_pending;
+ int *nr_waiting;
+ int *nr_queued;
+ int *barrier;
number of the array elements is defined as BARRIER_BUCKETS_NR. For 4KB
kernel space page size, (PAGE_SHIFT - 2) indecates there are 1024 I/O
barrier buckets, and each array of integers occupies single memory page.
1024 means for a request which is smaller than the I/O barrier unit size
has ~0.1% chance to wait for resync to pause, which is quite a small
enough fraction. Also requesting single memory page is more friendly to
kernel page allocator than larger memory size.
- I/O barrier bucket is indexed by bio start sector
If multiple I/O requests hit different I/O barrier units, they only need
to compete I/O barrier with other I/Os which hit the same I/O barrier
bucket index with each other. The index of a barrier bucket which a
bio should look for is calculated by sector_to_idx() which is defined
in raid1.h as an inline function,
static inline int sector_to_idx(sector_t sector)
{
return hash_long(sector >> BARRIER_UNIT_SECTOR_BITS,
BARRIER_BUCKETS_NR_BITS);
}
Here sector_nr is the start sector number of a bio.
- Single bio won't go across boundary of a I/O barrier unit
If a request goes across boundary of barrier unit, it will be split. A
bio may be split in raid1_make_request() or raid1_sync_request(), if
sectors returned by align_to_barrier_unit_end() is smaller than
original bio size.
Comparing to single sliding resync window,
- Currently resync I/O grows linearly, therefore regular and resync I/O
will conflict within a single barrier units. So the I/O behavior is
similar to single sliding resync window.
- But a barrier unit bucket is shared by all barrier units with identical
barrier uinit index, the probability of conflict might be higher
than single sliding resync window, in condition that writing I/Os
always hit barrier units which have identical barrier bucket indexs with
the resync I/Os. This is a very rare condition in real I/O work loads,
I cannot imagine how it could happen in practice.
- Therefore we can achieve a good enough low conflict rate with much
simpler barrier algorithm and implementation.
There are two changes should be noticed,
- In raid1d(), I change the code to decrease conf->nr_pending[idx] into
single loop, it looks like this,
spin_lock_irqsave(&conf->device_lock, flags);
conf->nr_queued[idx]--;
spin_unlock_irqrestore(&conf->device_lock, flags);
This change generates more spin lock operations, but in next patch of
this patch set, it will be replaced by a single line code,
atomic_dec(&conf->nr_queueud[idx]);
So we don't need to worry about spin lock cost here.
- Mainline raid1 code split original raid1_make_request() into
raid1_read_request() and raid1_write_request(). If the original bio
goes across an I/O barrier unit size, this bio will be split before
calling raid1_read_request() or raid1_write_request(), this change
the code logic more simple and clear.
- In this patch wait_barrier() is moved from raid1_make_request() to
raid1_write_request(). In raid_read_request(), original wait_barrier()
is replaced by raid1_read_request().
The differnece is wait_read_barrier() only waits if array is frozen,
using different barrier function in different code path makes the code
more clean and easy to read.

RAID1: a new I/O barrier implementation to remove resync window
'Commit 79ef3a8aa1cb ("raid1: Rewrite the implementation of iobarrier.")'
introduces a sliding resync window for raid1 I/O barrier, this idea limits
I/O barriers to happen only inside a slidingresync window, for regular
I/Os out of this resync window they don't need to wait for barrier any
more. On large raid1 device, it helps a lot to improve parallel writing
I/O throughput when there are background resync I/Os performing at
same time.
The idea of sliding resync widow is awesome, but code complexity is a
challenge. Sliding resync window requires several variables to work
collectively, this is complexed and very hard to make it work correctly.
Just grep "Fixes: 79ef3a8aa1" in kernel git log, there are 8 more patches
to fix the original resync window patch. This is not the end, any further
related modification may easily introduce more regreassion.
Therefore I decide to implement a much simpler raid1 I/O barrier, by
removing resync window code, I believe life will be much easier.
The brief idea of the simpler barrier is,
- Do not maintain a global unique resync window
- Use multiple hash buckets to reduce I/O barrier conflicts, regular
I/O only has to wait for a resync I/O when both them have same barrier
bucket index, vice versa.
- I/O barrier can be reduced to an acceptable number if there are enough
barrier buckets
Here I explain how the barrier buckets are designed,
- BARRIER_UNIT_SECTOR_SIZE
The whole LBA address space of a raid1 device is divided into multiple
barrier units, by the size of BARRIER_UNIT_SECTOR_SIZE.
Bio requests won't go across border of barrier unit size, that means
maximum bio size is BARRIER_UNIT_SECTOR_SIZE<<9 (64MB) in bytes.
For random I/O 64MB is large enough for both read and write requests,
for sequential I/O considering underlying block layer may merge them
into larger requests, 64MB is still good enough.
Neil also points out that for resync operation, "we want the resync to
move from region to region fairly quickly so that the slowness caused
by having to synchronize with the resync is averaged out over a fairly
small time frame". For full speed resync, 64MB should take less then 1
second. When resync is competing with other I/O, it could take up a few
minutes. Therefore 64MB size is fairly good range for resync.
- BARRIER_BUCKETS_NR
There are BARRIER_BUCKETS_NR buckets in total, which is defined by,
#define BARRIER_BUCKETS_NR_BITS (PAGE_SHIFT - 2)
#define BARRIER_BUCKETS_NR (1<<BARRIER_BUCKETS_NR_BITS)
this patch makes the bellowed members of struct r1conf from integer
to array of integers,
- int nr_pending;
- int nr_waiting;
- int nr_queued;
- int barrier;
+ int *nr_pending;
+ int *nr_waiting;
+ int *nr_queued;
+ int *barrier;
number of the array elements is defined as BARRIER_BUCKETS_NR. For 4KB
kernel space page size, (PAGE_SHIFT - 2) indecates there are 1024 I/O
barrier buckets, and each array of integers occupies single memory page.
1024 means for a request which is smaller than the I/O barrier unit size
has ~0.1% chance to wait for resync to pause, which is quite a small
enough fraction. Also requesting single memory page is more friendly to
kernel page allocator than larger memory size.

in raid1.h as an inline function,
static inline int sector_to_idx(sector_t sector)
{
return hash_long(sector >> BARRIER_UNIT_SECTOR_BITS,
BARRIER_BUCKETS_NR_BITS);
}
Here sector_nr is the start sector number of a bio.
- Single bio won't go across boundary of a I/O barrier unit
If a request goes across boundary of barrier unit, it will be split. A
bio may be split in raid1_make_request() or raid1_sync_request(), if
sectors returned by align_to_barrier_unit_end() is smaller than
original bio size.

- Currently resync I/O grows linearly, therefore regular and resync I/O

Therefore I decide to implement a much simpler raid1 I/O barrier, by

- Do not maintain a global unique resync window
- Use multiple hash buckets to reduce I/O barrier conflicts, regular

- I/O barrier can be reduced to an acceptable number if there are enough
barrier buckets
Here I explain how the barrier buckets are designed,
- BARRIER_UNIT_SECTOR_SIZE
The whole LBA address space of a raid1 device is divided into multiple
barrier units, by the size of BARRIER_UNIT_SECTOR_SIZE.
Bio requests won't go across border of barrier unit size, that means
maximum bio size is BARRIER_UNIT_SECTOR_SIZE<<9 (64MB) in bytes.
For random I/O 64MB is large enough for both read and write requests,
for sequential I/O considering underlying block layer may merge them

#define BARRIER_BUCKETS_NR_BITS (PAGE_SHIFT - 2)
#define BARRIER_BUCKETS_NR (1<<BARRIER_BUCKETS_NR_BITS)
this patch makes the bellowed members of struct r1conf from integer
to array of integers,
- int nr_pending;
- int nr_waiting;
- int nr_queued;
- int barrier;
+ int *nr_pending;
+ int *nr_waiting;
+ int *nr_queued;
+ int *barrier;
number of the array elements is defined as BARRIER_BUCKETS_NR. For 4KB
kernel space page size, (PAGE_SHIFT - 2) indecates there are 1024 I/O
barrier buckets, and each array of integers occupies single memory page.
1024 means for a request which is smaller than the I/O barrier unit size
has ~0.1% chance to wait for resync to pause, which is quite a small
enough fraction. Also requesting single memory page is more friendly to
kernel page allocator than larger memory size.
- I/O barrier bucket is indexed by bio start sector
If multiple I/O requests hit different I/O barrier units, they only need
to compete I/O barrier with other I/Os which hit the same I/O barrier
bucket index with each other. The index of a barrier bucket which a
bio should look for is calculated by sector_to_idx() which is defined
in raid1.h as an inline function,
static inline int sector_to_idx(sector_t sector)
{
return hash_long(sector >> BARRIER_UNIT_SECTOR_BITS,
BARRIER_BUCKETS_NR_BITS);
}
Here sector_nr is the start sector number of a bio.
- Single bio won't go across boundary of a I/O barrier unit
If a request goes across boundary of barrier unit, it will be split. A
bio may be split in raid1_make_request() or raid1_sync_request(), if
sectors returned by align_to_barrier_unit_end() is smaller than
original bio size.
Comparing to single sliding resync window,
- Currently resync I/O grows linearly, therefore regular and resync I/O
will conflict within a single barrier units. So the I/O behavior is
similar to single sliding resync window.
- But a barrier unit bucket is shared by all barrier units with identical
barrier uinit index, the probability of conflict might be higher
than single sliding resync window, in condition that writing I/Os
always hit barrier units which have identical barrier bucket indexs with
the resync I/Os. This is a very rare condition in real I/O work loads,
I cannot imagine how it could happen in practice.
- Therefore we can achieve a good enough low conflict rate with much
simpler barrier algorithm and implementation.
There are two changes should be noticed,
- In raid1d(), I change the code to decrease conf->nr_pending[idx] into
single loop, it looks like this,
spin_lock_irqsave(&conf->device_lock, flags);
conf->nr_queued[idx]--;
spin_unlock_irqrestore(&conf->device_lock, flags);
This change generates more spin lock operations, but in next patch of
this patch set, it will be replaced by a single line code,
atomic_dec(&conf->nr_queueud[idx]);
So we don't need to worry about spin lock cost here.
- Mainline raid1 code split original raid1_make_request() into
raid1_read_request() and raid1_write_request(). If the original bio
goes across an I/O barrier unit size, this bio will be split before
calling raid1_read_request() or raid1_write_request(), this change
the code logic more simple and clear.
- In this patch wait_barrier() is moved from raid1_make_request() to
raid1_write_request(). In raid_read_request(), original wait_barrier()
is replaced by raid1_read_request().
The differnece is wait_read_barrier() only waits if array is frozen,
using different barrier function in different code path makes the code
more clean and easy to read.
Changelog
V4:
- Add alloc_r1bio() to remove redundant r1bio memory allocation code.
- Fix many typos in patch comments.
- Use (PAGE_SHIFT - ilog2(sizeof(int))) to define BARRIER_BUCKETS_NR_BITS.
V3:
- Rebase the patch against latest upstream kernel code.
- Many fixes by review comments from Neil,
- Back to use pointers to replace arraries in struct r1conf
- Remove total_barriers from struct r1conf
- Add more patch comments to explain how/why the values of
BARRIER_UNIT_SECTOR_SIZE and BARRIER_BUCKETS_NR are decided.
- Use get_unqueued_pending() to replace get_all_pendings() and
get_all_queued()
- Increase bucket number from 512 to 1024
- Change code comments format by review from Shaohua.
V2:
- Use bio_split() to split the orignal bio if it goes across barrier unit
bounday, to make the code more simple, by suggestion from Shaohua and
Neil.
- Use hash_long() to replace original linear hash, to avoid a possible
confilict between resync I/O and sequential write I/O, by suggestion from
Shaohua.
- Add conf->total_barriers to record barrier depth, which is used to
control number of parallel sync I/O barriers, by suggestion from Shaohua.
- In V1 patch the bellowed barrier buckets related members in r1conf are
allocated in memory page. To make the code more simple, V2 patch moves
the memory space into struct r1conf, like this,
- int nr_pending;
- int nr_waiting;
- int nr_queued;
- int barrier;
+ int nr_pending[BARRIER_BUCKETS_NR];
+ int nr_waiting[BARRIER_BUCKETS_NR];
+ int nr_queued[BARRIER_BUCKETS_NR];
+ int barrier[BARRIER_BUCKETS_NR];
This change is by the suggestion from Shaohua.
- Remove some inrelavent code comments, by suggestion from Guoqing.
- Add a missing wait_barrier() before jumping to retry_write, in
raid1_make_write_request().
V1:
- Original RFC patch for comments

treewide: kzalloc() -> kcalloc()
The kzalloc() function has a 2-factor argument form, kcalloc(). This
patch replaces cases of:
kzalloc(a * b, gfp)
with:
kcalloc(a * b, gfp)
as well as handling cases of:
kzalloc(a * b * c, gfp)
with:
kzalloc(array3_size(a, b, c), gfp)
as it's slightly less ugly than:
kzalloc_array(array_size(a, b), c, gfp)
This does, however, attempt to ignore constant size factors like:
kzalloc(4 * 1024, gfp)
though any constants defined via macros get caught up in the conversion.
Any factors with a sizeof() of "unsigned char", "char", and "u8" were
dropped, since they're redundant.
The Coccinelle script used for this was:

md/raid1: simplify the splitting of requests.
raid1 currently splits requests in two different ways for
two different reasons.
First, bio_split() is used to ensure the bio fits within a
resync accounting region.
Second, multiple r1bios are allocated for each bio to handle
the possiblity of known bad blocks on some devices.
This can be simplified to just use bio_split() once, and not
use multiple r1bios.
We delay the split until we know a maximum bio size that can
be handled with a single r1bio, and then split the bio and
queue the remainder for later handling.
This avoids all loops inside raid1.c request handling. Just
a single read, or a single set of writes, is submitted to
lower-level devices for each bio that comes from
generic_make_request().
When the bio needs to be split, generic_make_request() will
do the necessary looping and call md_make_request() multiple
times.
raid1_make_request() no longer queues request for raid1 to handle,
so we can remove that branch from the 'if'.
This patch also creates a new private bio_set
(conf->bio_split) for splitting bios. Using fs_bio_set
is wrong, as it is meant to be used by filesystems, not
block devices. Using it inside md can lead to deadlocks
under high memory pressure.

RAID1: a new I/O barrier implementation to remove resync window
'Commit 79ef3a8aa1cb ("raid1: Rewrite the implementation of iobarrier.")'
introduces a sliding resync window for raid1 I/O barrier, this idea limits
I/O barriers to happen only inside a slidingresync window, for regular
I/Os out of this resync window they don't need to wait for barrier any
more. On large raid1 device, it helps a lot to improve parallel writing
I/O throughput when there are background resync I/Os performing at
same time.
The idea of sliding resync widow is awesome, but code complexity is a
challenge. Sliding resync window requires several variables to work
collectively, this is complexed and very hard to make it work correctly.
Just grep "Fixes: 79ef3a8aa1" in kernel git log, there are 8 more patches
to fix the original resync window patch. This is not the end, any further
related modification may easily introduce more regreassion.
Therefore I decide to implement a much simpler raid1 I/O barrier, by
removing resync window code, I believe life will be much easier.
The brief idea of the simpler barrier is,
- Do not maintain a global unique resync window
- Use multiple hash buckets to reduce I/O barrier conflicts, regular
I/O only has to wait for a resync I/O when both them have same barrier
bucket index, vice versa.
- I/O barrier can be reduced to an acceptable number if there are enough
barrier buckets
Here I explain how the barrier buckets are designed,
- BARRIER_UNIT_SECTOR_SIZE
The whole LBA address space of a raid1 device is divided into multiple
barrier units, by the size of BARRIER_UNIT_SECTOR_SIZE.
Bio requests won't go across border of barrier unit size, that means
maximum bio size is BARRIER_UNIT_SECTOR_SIZE<<9 (64MB) in bytes.
For random I/O 64MB is large enough for both read and write requests,
for sequential I/O considering underlying block layer may merge them
into larger requests, 64MB is still good enough.
Neil also points out that for resync operation, "we want the resync to
move from region to region fairly quickly so that the slowness caused
by having to synchronize with the resync is averaged out over a fairly
small time frame". For full speed resync, 64MB should take less then 1
second. When resync is competing with other I/O, it could take up a few
minutes. Therefore 64MB size is fairly good range for resync.
- BARRIER_BUCKETS_NR
There are BARRIER_BUCKETS_NR buckets in total, which is defined by,
#define BARRIER_BUCKETS_NR_BITS (PAGE_SHIFT - 2)
#define BARRIER_BUCKETS_NR (1<<BARRIER_BUCKETS_NR_BITS)
this patch makes the bellowed members of struct r1conf from integer
to array of integers,
- int nr_pending;
- int nr_waiting;
- int nr_queued;
- int barrier;
+ int *nr_pending;
+ int *nr_waiting;
+ int *nr_queued;
+ int *barrier;
number of the array elements is defined as BARRIER_BUCKETS_NR. For 4KB
kernel space page size, (PAGE_SHIFT - 2) indecates there are 1024 I/O
barrier buckets, and each array of integers occupies single memory page.
1024 means for a request which is smaller than the I/O barrier unit size
has ~0.1% chance to wait for resync to pause, which is quite a small
enough fraction. Also requesting single memory page is more friendly to
kernel page allocator than larger memory size.
- I/O barrier bucket is indexed by bio start sector
If multiple I/O requests hit different I/O barrier units, they only need
to compete I/O barrier with other I/Os which hit the same I/O barrier
bucket index with each other. The index of a barrier bucket which a
bio should look for is calculated by sector_to_idx() which is defined
in raid1.h as an inline function,
static inline int sector_to_idx(sector_t sector)
{
return hash_long(sector >> BARRIER_UNIT_SECTOR_BITS,
BARRIER_BUCKETS_NR_BITS);
}
Here sector_nr is the start sector number of a bio.
- Single bio won't go across boundary of a I/O barrier unit
If a request goes across boundary of barrier unit, it will be split. A
bio may be split in raid1_make_request() or raid1_sync_request(), if
sectors returned by align_to_barrier_unit_end() is smaller than
original bio size.
Comparing to single sliding resync window,
- Currently resync I/O grows linearly, therefore regular and resync I/O
will conflict within a single barrier units. So the I/O behavior is
similar to single sliding resync window.
- But a barrier unit bucket is shared by all barrier units with identical
barrier uinit index, the probability of conflict might be higher
than single sliding resync window, in condition that writing I/Os
always hit barrier units which have identical barrier bucket indexs with
the resync I/Os. This is a very rare condition in real I/O work loads,
I cannot imagine how it could happen in practice.
- Therefore we can achieve a good enough low conflict rate with much
simpler barrier algorithm and implementation.
There are two changes should be noticed,
- In raid1d(), I change the code to decrease conf->nr_pending[idx] into
single loop, it looks like this,
spin_lock_irqsave(&conf->device_lock, flags);
conf->nr_queued[idx]--;
spin_unlock_irqrestore(&conf->device_lock, flags);
This change generates more spin lock operations, but in next patch of
this patch set, it will be replaced by a single line code,
atomic_dec(&conf->nr_queueud[idx]);
So we don't need to worry about spin lock cost here.
- Mainline raid1 code split original raid1_make_request() into
raid1_read_request() and raid1_write_request(). If the original bio
goes across an I/O barrier unit size, this bio will be split before
calling raid1_read_request() or raid1_write_request(), this change
the code logic more simple and clear.
- In this patch wait_barrier() is moved from raid1_make_request() to
raid1_write_request(). In raid_read_request(), original wait_barrier()
is replaced by raid1_read_request().
The differnece is wait_read_barrier() only waits if array is frozen,
using different barrier function in different code path makes the code
more clean and easy to read.
Changelog

md: initialize 'writes_pending' while allocating mddev
Currently 'writes_pending' is initialized in pers->run for raid1/5/10,
and it's freed while deleing mddev, instead of pers->free. pers->run can
be called multiple times before mddev is deleted, and a helper
mddev_init_writes_pending() is used to prevent 'writes_pending' to be
initialized multiple times, this usage is safe but a litter weird.
On the other hand, 'writes_pending' is only initialized for raid1/5/10,
however, it's used in common layer, for example:
array_state_store
set_in_sync
if (!mddev->in_sync) -> in_sync is used for all levels
// access writes_pending
There might be some implicit dependency that I don't recognized to make
sure 'writes_pending' can only be accessed for raid1/5/10, but there are
no comments about that.
By the way, it make sense to initialize 'writes_pending' in common layer
because there are already three levels use it.

RAID1: a new I/O barrier implementation to remove resync window
'Commit 79ef3a8aa1cb ("raid1: Rewrite the implementation of iobarrier.")'
introduces a sliding resync window for raid1 I/O barrier, this idea limits
I/O barriers to happen only inside a slidingresync window, for regular
I/Os out of this resync window they don't need to wait for barrier any
more. On large raid1 device, it helps a lot to improve parallel writing
I/O throughput when there are background resync I/Os performing at
same time.
The idea of sliding resync widow is awesome, but code complexity is a
challenge. Sliding resync window requires several variables to work
collectively, this is complexed and very hard to make it work correctly.
Just grep "Fixes: 79ef3a8aa1" in kernel git log, there are 8 more patches
to fix the original resync window patch. This is not the end, any further
related modification may easily introduce more regreassion.
Therefore I decide to implement a much simpler raid1 I/O barrier, by
removing resync window code, I believe life will be much easier.
The brief idea of the simpler barrier is,
- Do not maintain a global unique resync window
- Use multiple hash buckets to reduce I/O barrier conflicts, regular
I/O only has to wait for a resync I/O when both them have same barrier
bucket index, vice versa.
- I/O barrier can be reduced to an acceptable number if there are enough
barrier buckets
Here I explain how the barrier buckets are designed,
- BARRIER_UNIT_SECTOR_SIZE
The whole LBA address space of a raid1 device is divided into multiple
barrier units, by the size of BARRIER_UNIT_SECTOR_SIZE.
Bio requests won't go across border of barrier unit size, that means
maximum bio size is BARRIER_UNIT_SECTOR_SIZE<<9 (64MB) in bytes.
For random I/O 64MB is large enough for both read and write requests,
for sequential I/O considering underlying block layer may merge them
into larger requests, 64MB is still good enough.
Neil also points out that for resync operation, "we want the resync to
move from region to region fairly quickly so that the slowness caused
by having to synchronize with the resync is averaged out over a fairly
small time frame". For full speed resync, 64MB should take less then 1
second. When resync is competing with other I/O, it could take up a few
minutes. Therefore 64MB size is fairly good range for resync.
- BARRIER_BUCKETS_NR
There are BARRIER_BUCKETS_NR buckets in total, which is defined by,
#define BARRIER_BUCKETS_NR_BITS (PAGE_SHIFT - 2)
#define BARRIER_BUCKETS_NR (1<<BARRIER_BUCKETS_NR_BITS)
this patch makes the bellowed members of struct r1conf from integer
to array of integers,
- int nr_pending;
- int nr_waiting;
- int nr_queued;
- int barrier;
+ int *nr_pending;
+ int *nr_waiting;
+ int *nr_queued;
+ int *barrier;
number of the array elements is defined as BARRIER_BUCKETS_NR. For 4KB
kernel space page size, (PAGE_SHIFT - 2) indecates there are 1024 I/O
barrier buckets, and each array of integers occupies single memory page.
1024 means for a request which is smaller than the I/O barrier unit size
has ~0.1% chance to wait for resync to pause, which is quite a small
enough fraction. Also requesting single memory page is more friendly to
kernel page allocator than larger memory size.
- I/O barrier bucket is indexed by bio start sector
If multiple I/O requests hit different I/O barrier units, they only need
to compete I/O barrier with other I/Os which hit the same I/O barrier
bucket index with each other. The index of a barrier bucket which a
bio should look for is calculated by sector_to_idx() which is defined
in raid1.h as an inline function,
static inline int sector_to_idx(sector_t sector)
{
return hash_long(sector >> BARRIER_UNIT_SECTOR_BITS,
BARRIER_BUCKETS_NR_BITS);
}
Here sector_nr is the start sector number of a bio.
- Single bio won't go across boundary of a I/O barrier unit
If a request goes across boundary of barrier unit, it will be split. A
bio may be split in raid1_make_request() or raid1_sync_request(), if
sectors returned by align_to_barrier_unit_end() is smaller than
original bio size.
Comparing to single sliding resync window,
- Currently resync I/O grows linearly, therefore regular and resync I/O
will conflict within a single barrier units. So the I/O behavior is
similar to single sliding resync window.
- But a barrier unit bucket is shared by all barrier units with identical
barrier uinit index, the probability of conflict might be higher
than single sliding resync window, in condition that writing I/Os
always hit barrier units which have identical barrier bucket indexs with
the resync I/Os. This is a very rare condition in real I/O work loads,
I cannot imagine how it could happen in practice.
- Therefore we can achieve a good enough low conflict rate with much
simpler barrier algorithm and implementation.
There are two changes should be noticed,
- In raid1d(), I change the code to decrease conf->nr_pending[idx] into
single loop, it looks like this,
spin_lock_irqsave(&conf->device_lock, flags);
conf->nr_queued[idx]--;
spin_unlock_irqrestore(&conf->device_lock, flags);
This change generates more spin lock operations, but in next patch of
this patch set, it will be replaced by a single line code,
atomic_dec(&conf->nr_queueud[idx]);
So we don't need to worry about spin lock cost here.
- Mainline raid1 code split original raid1_make_request() into
raid1_read_request() and raid1_write_request(). If the original bio
goes across an I/O barrier unit size, this bio will be split before
calling raid1_read_request() or raid1_write_request(), this change
the code logic more simple and clear.
- In this patch wait_barrier() is moved from raid1_make_request() to
raid1_write_request(). In raid_read_request(), original wait_barrier()
is replaced by raid1_read_request().
The differnece is wait_read_barrier() only waits if array is frozen,
using different barrier function in different code path makes the code
more clean and easy to read.

treewide: kzalloc() -> kcalloc()
The kzalloc() function has a 2-factor argument form, kcalloc(). This
patch replaces cases of:
kzalloc(a * b, gfp)
with:
kcalloc(a * b, gfp)
as well as handling cases of:
kzalloc(a * b * c, gfp)
with:
kzalloc(array3_size(a, b, c), gfp)
as it's slightly less ugly than:
kzalloc_array(array_size(a, b), c, gfp)
This does, however, attempt to ignore constant size factors like:
kzalloc(4 * 1024, gfp)
though any constants defined via macros get caught up in the conversion.
Any factors with a sizeof() of "unsigned char", "char", and "u8" were
dropped, since they're redundant.
The Coccinelle script used for this was:
// Fix redundant parens around sizeof().

expression THING, E;
