While monitoring the throttle time of IO from iocost, it's found that
such time is always zero after the io_schedule() from ioc_rqos_throttle,
for example, with the following debug patch:
+ printk("%s-%d: %s enter %llu\n", current->comm, current->pid, __func__, blk_time_get_ns());
while (true) {
set_current_state(TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE);
if (wait.committed)
break;
io_schedule();
}
+ printk("%s-%d: %s exit %llu\n", current->comm, current->pid, __func__, blk_time_get_ns());
It can be observerd that blk_time_get_ns() always return the same time:
[ 1068.096579] fio-1268: ioc_rqos_throttle enter 1067901962288
[ 1068.272587] fio-1268: ioc_rqos_throttle exit 1067901962288
[ 1068.274389] fio-1268: ioc_rqos_throttle enter 1067901962288
[ 1068.472690] fio-1268: ioc_rqos_throttle exit 1067901962288
[ 1068.474485] fio-1268: ioc_rqos_throttle enter 1067901962288
[ 1068.672656] fio-1268: ioc_rqos_throttle exit 1067901962288
[ 1068.674451] fio-1268: ioc_rqos_throttle enter 1067901962288
[ 1068.872655] fio-1268: ioc_rqos_throttle exit 1067901962288
And I think the root cause is that 'PF_BLOCK_TS' is always cleared
by blk_flush_plug() before scheduel(), hence blk_plug_invalidate_ts()
will never be called:
blk_time_get_ns
plug->cur_ktime = ktime_get_ns();
current->flags |= PF_BLOCK_TS;
io_schedule:
io_schedule_prepare
blk_flush_plug
__blk_flush_plug
/* the flag is cleared, while time is not */
current->flags &= ~PF_BLOCK_TS;
schedule
sched_update_worker
/* the flag is not set, hence plug->cur_ktime is not cleared */
if (tsk->flags & PF_BLOCK_TS)
blk_plug_invalidate_ts()
blk_time_get_ns
/* got the time stashed before schedule */
return plug->cur_ktime;
Fix the problem by clearing cached time in __blk_flush_plug().

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
