v5 cover blktrace: output cgroup info

From: Shaohua Li <[email protected]>

Hi,

Currently blktrace isn't cgroup aware. blktrace prints out task name of current context, but the task of current context isn't always in the cgroup where the BIO comes from. We can't use task name to find out IO cgroup. For example, Writeback BIOs always comes from flusher thread but the BIOs are for different blk cgroups. Request could be requeued and dispatched from completely different tasks. MD/DM are another examples. This brings challenges if we want to use blktrace for performance tunning with cgroup enabled.

This patchset try to fix the gap. We print out cgroup fhandle info in blktrace. Userspace can use open_by_handle_at() syscall to find the cgroup by fhandle. Or userspace can use name_to_handle_at() syscall to find fhandle for a cgroup and use a BPF program to filter out blktrace for a specific cgroup.

The first 6 patches adds export operation handlers for kernfs, so userspace can use open_by_handle_at/name_to_handle_at to a kernfs file. Later patches make blktrace output cgroup info.

Thanks,
Shaohua

PATCH v5 1/11 kernfs: use idr instead of ida to manage inode number

From: Shaohua Li <[email protected]>

kernfs uses ida to manage inode number. The problem is we can't get kernfs_node from inode number with ida. Switching to use idr, next patch will add an API to get kernfs_node from inode number.

PATCH v5 2/11 kernfs: implement i_generation

In reply to Shaohua Li

From: Shaohua Li <[email protected]>

Set i_generation for kernfs inode. This is required to implement exportfs operations. The generation is 32-bit, so it's possible the generation wraps up and we find stale files. To reduce the posssibility, we don't reuse inode numer immediately. When the inode number allocation wraps, we increase generation number. In this way generation/inode number consist of a 64-bit number which is unlikely duplicated. This does make the idr tree more sparse and waste some memory. Since idr manages 32-bit keys, idr uses a 6-level radix tree, each level covers 6 bits of the key. In a 100k inode kernfs, the worst case will have around 300k radix tree node. Each node is 576bytes, so the tree will use about ~150M memory. Sounds not too bad, if this really is a problem, we should find better data structure.

PATCH v5 3/11 kernfs: add an API to get kernfs node from inode number

In reply to Shaohua Li

From: Shaohua Li <[email protected]>

Add an API to get kernfs node from inode number. We will need this to implement exportfs operations.

This API will be used in blktrace too later, so it should be as fast as possible. To make the API lock free, kernfs node is freed in RCU context. And we depend on kernfs_node count/ino number to filter out stale kernfs nodes.

PATCH v5 4/11 kernfs: don't set dentry->d_fsdata

In reply to Shaohua Li

From: Shaohua Li <[email protected]>

When working on adding exportfs operations in kernfs, I found it's hard to initialize dentry->d_fsdata in the exportfs operations. Looks there is no way to do it without race condition. Look at the kernfs code closely, there is no point to set dentry->d_fsdata. inode->i_private already points to kernfs_node, and we can get inode from a dentry. So this patch just delete the d_fsdata usage.

PATCH v5 5/11 kernfs: introduce kernfs_node_id

In reply to Shaohua Li

From: Shaohua Li <[email protected]>

inode number and generation can identify a kernfs node. We are going to export the identification by exportfs operations, so put ino and generation into a separate structure. It's convenient when later patches use the identification.

PATCH v5 6/11 kernfs: add exportfs operations

In reply to Shaohua Li

From: Shaohua Li <[email protected]>

Now we have the facilities to implement exportfs operations. The idea is cgroup can export the fhandle info to userspace, then userspace uses fhandle to find the cgroup name. Another example is userspace can get fhandle for a cgroup and BPF uses the fhandle to filter info for the cgroup.

PATCH v5 7/11 cgroup: export fhandle info for a cgroup

In reply to Shaohua Li

From: Shaohua Li <[email protected]>

Add an API to export cgroup fhandle info. We don't export a full 'struct file_handle', there are unrequired info. Sepcifically, cgroup is always a directory, so we don't need a 'FILEID_INO32_GEN_PARENT' type fhandle, we only need export the inode number and generation number just like what generic_fh_to_dentry does. And we can avoid the overhead of getting an inode too, since kernfs_node_id (ino and generation) has all the info required.

PATCH v5 8/11 blktrace: export cgroup info in trace

In reply to Shaohua Li

From: Shaohua Li <[email protected]>

Currently blktrace isn't cgroup aware. blktrace prints out task name of current context, but the task of current context isn't always in the cgroup where the BIO comes from. We can't use task name to find out IO cgroup. For example, Writeback BIOs always comes from flusher thread but the BIOs are for different blk cgroups. Request could be requeued and dispatched from completely different tasks. MD/DM are another examples.

This patch tries to fix the gap. We print out cgroup fhandle info in blktrace. Userspace can use open_by_handle_at() syscall to find the cgroup by fhandle. Or userspace can use name_to_handle_at() syscall to find fhandle for a cgroup and use a BPF program to filter out blktrace for a specific cgroup.

We add a new 'blk_cgroup' trace option for blk tracer. It's default off. Application which doesn't know the new option isn't affected. When it's on, we output fhandle info right after blk_io_trace with an extra bit set in event action. So from application point of view, blktrace with the option will output new actions.

I didn't change blk trace event yet, since I'm not sure if changing the trace event output is an ABI issue. If not, I'll do it later.

PATCH v5 9/11 block: always attach cgroup info into bio

In reply to Shaohua Li

From: Shaohua Li <[email protected]>

blkcg_bio_issue_check() already gets blkcg for a BIO. bio_associate_blkcg() uses a percpu refcounter, so it's a very cheap operation. There is no point we don't attach the cgroup info into bio at blkcg_bio_issue_check. This also makes blktrace outputs correct cgroup info.

In reply to Shaohua Li

From: Shaohua Li <[email protected]>

By default we output cgroup id in blktrace. This adds an option to display cgroup path. Since get cgroup path is a relativly heavy operation, we don't enable it by default.

with the option enabled, blktrace will output something like this:

PATCH v5 11/11 block: use standard blktrace API to output cgroup info for debug notes

In reply to Shaohua Li

From: Shaohua Li <[email protected]>

Currently cfq/bfq/blk-throttle output cgroup info in trace in their own way. Now we have standard blktrace API for this, so convert them to use it.

Note, this changes the behavior a little bit. cgroup info isn't output by default, we only do this with 'blk_cgroup' option enabled. cgroup info isn't output as a string by default too, we only do this with 'blk_cgname' option enabled. Also cgroup info is output in different position of the note string. I think these behavior changes aren't a big issue (actually we make trace data shorter which is good), since the blktrace note is solely for debugging.

Hi,

Currently blktrace isn't cgroup aware. blktrace prints out task name of current context, but the task of current context isn't always in the cgroup where the BIO comes from. We can't use task name to find out IO cgroup. For example, Writeback BIOs always comes from flusher thread but the BIOs are for different blk cgroups. Request could be requeued and dispatched from completely different tasks. MD/DM are another examples. This brings challenges if we want to use blktrace for performance tunning with cgroup enabled.

Quoted 8 lines

This patchset try to fix the gap. We print out cgroup fhandle info in blktrace. Userspace can use open_by_handle_at() syscall to find the cgroup by fhandle. Or userspace can use name_to_handle_at() syscall to find fhandle for a cgroup and use a BPF program to filter out blktrace for a specific cgroup.

The first 6 patches adds export operation handlers for kernfs, so userspace can use open_by_handle_at/name_to_handle_at to a kernfs file. Later patches make blktrace output cgroup info.

Added for 4.14, thanks Shaohua.
