The first mention of the kernel version is dropped. The second mention, saying that the document is accurate for 2.2, is preserved for now; I will update that once the document really is accurate for a current kernel release.

* | / / / block/diskstats: more accurate approximation of io_ticks for slow disksKonstantin Khlebnikov2020-03-251-1/+4
| |/ / / |/| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently io_ticks is approximated by adding one at each start and end of requests if jiffies counter has changed. This works perfectly for requests shorter than a jiffy or if one of requests starts/ends at each jiffy. If disk executes just one request at a time and they are longer than two jiffies then only first and last jiffies will be accounted. Fix is simple: at the end of request add up into io_ticks jiffies passed since last update rather than just one jiffy. Example: common HDD executes random read 4k requests around 12ms. fio --name=test --filename=/dev/sdb --rw=randread --direct=1 --runtime=30 & iostat -x 10 sdb Note changes of iostat's "%util" 8,43% -> 99,99% before/after patch: Before: Device: rrqm/s wrqm/s r/s w/s rkB/s wkB/s avgrq-sz avgqu-sz await r_await w_await svctm %util sdb 0,00 0,00 82,60 0,00 330,40 0,00 8,00 0,96 12,09 12,09 0,00 1,02 8,43 After: Device: rrqm/s wrqm/s r/s w/s rkB/s wkB/s avgrq-sz avgqu-sz await r_await w_await svctm %util sdb 0,00 0,00 82,50 0,00 330,00 0,00 8,00 1,00 12,10 12,10 0,00 12,12 99,99 Now io_ticks does not loose time between start and end of requests, but for queue-depth > 1 some I/O time between adjacent starts might be lost. For load estimation "%util" is not as useful as average queue length, but it clearly shows how often disk queue is completely empty.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently, bootconfig adds a new value on the existing key to the tail of an array. But this looks a bit confusing because an admin can easily rewrite the original value in the same config file. This rejects the following value re-definition. key = value1 ... key = value2 You should rewrite value1 to value2 in this case.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Add bootconfig magic word to the end of bootconfig on initrd image for indicating explicitly the bootconfig is there. Also tools/bootconfig treats wrong size or wrong checksum or parse error as an error, because if there is a bootconfig magic word, there must be a bootconfig. The bootconfig magic word is "#BOOTCONFIG\n", 12 bytes word. Thus the block image of the initrd file with bootconfig is as follows.

Currently, the only way to achieve that is by setting the 'max_cstate' module parameter to a value lower than the index of the shallowest of the C-states in question, but that may be overly intrusive, because it effectively makes all of the idle states deeper than the 'max_cstate' one go away (and the C-state to avoid may be in the middle of the range normally regarded as available). To allow that limitation to be overcome, introduce a new module parameter called 'states_off' to represent a list of idle states to be disabled by default in the form of a bitmask and update the documentation to cover it.

If there's some issue with the kernel, and the developer wants to boot a pristine kernel, it should not be needed to modify the initrd to remove the bootconfig for a single boot. As bootconfig is silently added (if the admin does not know where to look they may not know it's being loaded). It should be explicitly added to the kernel cmdline. The loading of the bootconfig is only done if "bootconfig" is on the kernel command line. This will let admins know that the kernel command line is extended. Note, after adding printk()s for when the size is too great or the checksum is wrong, exposed that the current method always looked for the boot config, and if this size and checksum matched, it would parse it (as if either is wrong a printk has been added to show this). It's better to only check this if the boot config is asked to be looked for.

Also refactor code to disallow changing the thin-pool's data device once in use -- doing so guarantees smae lifetime of pool's data device relative to the pool metadata. - Fix DM space maps used by DM thinp and DM cache to avoid reuse of a already used block. This race was identified with extremely heavy snapshot use in the context of DM thin provisioning. - Fix DM raid's table status relative to an active rebuild. - Fix DM crypt to use GFP_NOIO rather than GFP_NOFS in call to skcipher_request_alloc(). Also fix benbi IV constructor crash if used in authenticated mode. - Add DM crypt support for Elephant diffuser to allow for Bitlocker compatibility. - Fix DM verity target to not prefetch hash blocks for data that has already been verified. - Fix DM writecache's incorrect flush sequence during commit when in SSD mode. - Improve DM writecache's sequential write performance on SSDs. - Add DM zoned target support for zone sizes smaller than 128MiB. - Add DM multipath 'queue_if_no_path_timeout_secs' module param to allow timeout if path isn't reinstated. This allows users a kernel safety-net against IO hanging indefinitely, due to no active paths, that has historically only been provided by multipathd userspace. - Various DM code cleanups to use true/false rather than 1/0, a variable rename in dm-dust, and fix for a math error in comment for DM thin metadata's ondisk format. * tag 'for-5.6/dm-changes' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/device-mapper/linux-dm: (21 commits) dm: fix potential for q->make_request_fn NULL pointer dm writecache: improve performance of large linear writes on SSDs dm mpath: Add timeout mechanism for queue_if_no_path dm thin: change data device's flush_bio to be member of struct pool dm thin: don't allow changing data device during thin-pool reload dm thin: fix use-after-free in metadata_pre_commit_callback dm thin metadata: use pool locking at end of dm_pool_metadata_close dm writecache: fix incorrect flush sequence when doing SSD mode commit dm crypt: fix benbi IV constructor crash if used in authenticated mode dm crypt: Implement Elephant diffuser for Bitlocker compatibility dm space map common: fix to ensure new block isn't already in use dm verity: don't prefetch hash blocks for already-verified data dm crypt: fix GFP flags passed to skcipher_request_alloc() dm thin metadata: Fix trivial math error in on-disk format documentation dm thin metadata: use true/false for bool variable dm snapshot: use true/false for bool variable dm bio prison v2: use true/false for bool variable dm mpath: use true/false for bool variable dm zoned: support zone sizes smaller than 128MiB dm raid: table line rebuild status fixes ...
