2023-10-31virtio: use defer_call() in virtio_irqfd_notify()Stefan Hajnoczi
virtio-blk and virtio-scsi invoke virtio_irqfd_notify() to send Used Buffer Notifications from an IOThread. This involves an eventfd write(2) syscall. Calling this repeatedly when completing multiple I/O requests in a row is wasteful. Use the defer_call() API to batch together virtio_irqfd_notify() calls made during thread pool (aio=threads), Linux AIO (aio=native), and io_uring (aio=io_uring) completion processing. Behavior is unchanged for emulated devices that do not use defer_call_begin()/defer_call_end() since defer_call() immediately invokes the callback when called outside a defer_call_begin()/defer_call_end() region. fio rw=randread bs=4k iodepth=64 numjobs=8 IOPS increases by ~9% with a single IOThread and 8 vCPUs. iodepth=1 decreases by ~1% but this could be noise. Detailed performance data and configuration specifics are available here: https://gitlab.com/stefanha/virt-playbooks/-/tree/blk_io_plug-irqfd This duplicates the BH that virtio-blk uses for batching. The next commit will remove it.

2023-10-31util/defer-call: move defer_call() to util/Stefan Hajnoczi
The networking subsystem may wish to use defer_call(), so move the code to util/ where it can be reused. As a reminder of what defer_call() does: This API defers a function call within a defer_call_begin()/defer_call_end() section, allowing multiple calls to batch up. This is a performance optimization that is used in the block layer to submit several I/O requests at once instead of individually: defer_call_begin(); <-- start of section ... defer_call(my_func, my_obj); <-- deferred my_func(my_obj) call defer_call(my_func, my_obj); <-- another defer_call(my_func, my_obj); <-- another ... defer_call_end(); <-- end of section, my_func(my_obj) is called once Suggested-by: Ilya Maximets <i.maximets@ovn.org> Reviewed-by: Philippe Mathieu-Daudé <philmd@linaro.org> Signed-off-by: Stefan Hajnoczi <stefanha@redhat.com> Message-ID: <20230913200045.1024233-3-stefanha@redhat.com> Reviewed-by: Michael S.

2023-06-01block/linux-aio: convert to blk_io_plug_call() APIStefan Hajnoczi
Stop using the .bdrv_co_io_plug() API because it is not multi-queue block layer friendly. Use the new blk_io_plug_call() API to batch I/O submission instead. Note that a dev_max_batch check is dropped in laio_io_unplug() because the semantics of unplug_fn() are different from .bdrv_co_unplug(): 1. unplug_fn() is only called when the last blk_io_unplug() call occurs, not every time blk_io_unplug() is called. 2. unplug_fn() is per-thread, not per-BlockDriverState, so there is no way to get per-BlockDriverState fields like dev_max_batch. Therefore this condition cannot be moved to laio_unplug_fn(). It is not obvious that this condition affects performance in practice, so I am removing it instead of trying to come up with a more complex mechanism to preserve the condition.

2023-05-30aio: remove aio_disable_external() APIStefan Hajnoczi
All callers now pass is_external=false to aio_set_fd_handler() and aio_set_event_notifier(). The aio_disable_external() API that temporarily disables fd handlers that were registered is_external=true is therefore dead code. Remove aio_disable_external(), aio_enable_external(), and the is_external arguments to aio_set_fd_handler() and aio_set_event_notifier().

2022-01-12aio-posix: split poll check from ready handlerStefan Hajnoczi
Adaptive polling measures the execution time of the polling check plus handlers called when a polled event becomes ready. Handlers can take a significant amount of time, making it look like polling was running for a long time when in fact the event handler was running for a long time. For example, on Linux the io_submit(2) syscall invoked when a virtio-blk device's virtqueue becomes ready can take 10s of microseconds. This can exceed the default polling interval (32 microseconds) and cause adaptive polling to stop polling. By excluding the handler's execution time from the polling check we make the adaptive polling calculation more accurate. As a result, the event loop now stays in polling mode where previously it would have fallen back to file descriptor monitoring. The following data was collected with virtio-blk num-queues=2 event_idx=off using an IOThread. Before: 168k IOPS, IOThread syscalls: 9837.115 ( 0.020 ms): IO iothread1/620155 io_submit(ctx_id: 140512552468480, nr: 16, iocbpp: 0x7fcb9f937db0) = 16 9837.158 ( 0.002 ms): IO iothread1/620155 write(fd: 103, buf: 0x556a2ef71b88, count: 8) = 8 9837.161 ( 0.001 ms): IO iothread1/620155 write(fd: 104, buf: 0x556a2ef71b88, count: 8) = 8 9837.163 ( 0.001 ms): IO iothread1/620155 ppoll(ufds: 0x7fcb90002800, nfds: 4, tsp: 0x7fcb9f1342d0, sigsetsize: 8) = 3 9837.164 ( 0.001 ms): IO iothread1/620155 read(fd: 107, buf: 0x7fcb9f939cc0, count: 512) = 8 9837.174 ( 0.001 ms): IO iothread1/620155 read(fd: 105, buf: 0x7fcb9f939cc0, count: 512) = 8 9837.176 ( 0.001 ms): IO iothread1/620155 read(fd: 106, buf: 0x7fcb9f939cc0, count: 512) = 8 9837.209 ( 0.035 ms): IO iothread1/620155 io_submit(ctx_id: 140512552468480, nr: 32, iocbpp: 0x7fca7d0cebe0) = 32 174k IOPS (+3.6%), IOThread syscalls: 9809.566 ( 0.036 ms): IO iothread1/623061 io_submit(ctx_id: 140539805028352, nr: 32, iocbpp: 0x7fd0cdd62be0) = 32 9809.625 ( 0.001 ms): IO iothread1/623061 write(fd: 103, buf: 0x5647cfba5f58, count: 8) = 8 9809.627 ( 0.002 ms): IO iothread1/623061 write(fd: 104, buf: 0x5647cfba5f58, count: 8) = 8 9809.663 ( 0.036 ms): IO iothread1/623061 io_submit(ctx_id: 140539805028352, nr: 32, iocbpp: 0x7fd0d0388b50) = 32 Notice that ppoll(2) and eventfd read(2) syscalls are eliminated because the IOThread stays in polling mode instead of falling back to file descriptor monitoring.

2021-07-21linux-aio: limit the batch size using `aio-max-batch` parameterStefano Garzarella
When there are multiple queues attached to the same AIO context, some requests may experience high latency, since in the worst case the AIO engine queue is only flushed when it is full (MAX_EVENTS) or there are no more queues plugged. Commit 2558cb8dd4 ("linux-aio: increasing MAX_EVENTS to a larger hardcoded value") changed MAX_EVENTS from 128 to 1024, to increase the number of in-flight requests. But this change also increased the potential maximum batch to 1024 elements. When there is a single queue attached to the AIO context, the issue is mitigated from laio_io_unplug() that will flush the queue every time is invoked since there can't be others queue plugged. Let's use the new `aio-max-batch` IOThread parameter to mitigate this issue, limiting the number of requests in a batch. We also define a default value (32): this value is obtained running some benchmarks and it represents a good tradeoff between the latency increase while a request is queued and the cost of the io_submit(2) system call.

2018-09-25block/linux-aio: acquire AioContext before qemu_laio_process_completionsSergio Lopez
In qemu_laio_process_completions_and_submit, the AioContext is acquired before the ioq_submit iteration and after qemu_laio_process_completions, but the latter is not thread safe either. This change avoids a number of random crashes when the Main Thread and an IO Thread collide processing completions for the same AioContext. This is an example of such crash: - The IO Thread is trying to acquire the AioContext at aio_co_enter, which evidences that it didn't lock it before: Thread 3 (Thread 0x7fdfd8bd8700 (LWP 36743)): #0 0x00007fdfe0dd542d in __lll_lock_wait () at ../nptl/sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/x86_64/lowlevellock.S:135 #1 0x00007fdfe0dd0de6 in _L_lock_870 () at /lib64/libpthread.so.0 #2 0x00007fdfe0dd0cdf in __GI___pthread_mutex_lock (mutex=mutex@entry=0x5631fde0e6c0) at ../nptl/pthread_mutex_lock.c:114 #3 0x00005631fc0603a7 in qemu_mutex_lock_impl (mutex=0x5631fde0e6c0, file=0x5631fc23520f "util/async.c", line=511) at util/qemu-thread-posix.c:66 #4 0x00005631fc05b558 in aio_co_enter (ctx=0x5631fde0e660, co=0x7fdfcc0c2b40) at util/async.c:493 #5 0x00005631fc05b5ac in aio_co_wake (co=<optimized out>) at util/async.c:478 #6 0x00005631fbfc51ad in qemu_laio_process_completion (laiocb=<optimized out>) at block/linux-aio.c:104 #7 0x00005631fbfc523c in qemu_laio_process_completions (s=s@entry=0x7fdfc0297670) at block/linux-aio.c:222 #8 0x00005631fbfc5499 in qemu_laio_process_completions_and_submit (s=0x7fdfc0297670) at block/linux-aio.c:237 #9 0x00005631fc05d978 in aio_dispatch_handlers (ctx=ctx@entry=0x5631fde0e660) at util/aio-posix.c:406 #10 0x00005631fc05e3ea in aio_poll (ctx=0x5631fde0e660, blocking=blocking@entry=true) at util/aio-posix.c:693 #11 0x00005631fbd7ad96 in iothread_run (opaque=0x5631fde0e1c0) at iothread.c:64 #12 0x00007fdfe0dcee25 in start_thread (arg=0x7fdfd8bd8700) at pthread_create.c:308 #13 0x00007fdfe0afc34d in clone () at ../sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/x86_64/clone.S:113 -

2018-06-27linux-aio: properly bubble up errors from initializationNishanth Aravamudan
laio_init() can fail for a couple of reasons, which will lead to a NULL pointer dereference in laio_attach_aio_context(). To solve this, add a aio_setup_linux_aio() function which is called early in raw_open_common. If this fails, propagate the error up. The signature of aio_get_linux_aio() was not modified, because it seems preferable to return the actual errno from the possible failing initialization calls. Additionally, when the AioContext changes, we need to associate a LinuxAioState with the new AioContext. Use the bdrv_attach_aio_context callback and call the new aio_setup_linux_aio(), which will allocate a new AioContext if needed, and return errors on failures. If it fails for any reason, fallback to threaded AIO with an error message, as the device is already in-use by the guest. Add an assert that aio_get_linux_aio() cannot return NULL.

If a coroutine is entered then it must be in ioq_submit()/qemu_laio_process_completions() because otherwise it would be yielded while waiting for I/O completion. Therefore it will check laio->ret and return from ioq_submit() instead of yielding, i.e. it's guaranteed not to hang.

2016-09-13linux-aio: process completions from ioq_submit()Roman Pen
In order to reduce completion latency it makes sense to harvest completed requests ASAP. Very fast backend device can complete requests just after submission, so it is worth trying to check ring buffer in order to peek completed requests directly after io_submit() has been called. Indeed, this patch reduces the completions latencies and increases the overall throughput, e.g. the following is the percentiles of number of completed requests at once: 1th 10th 20th 30th 40th 50th 60th 70th 80th 90th 99.99th Before 2 4 42 112 128 128 128 128 128 128 128 After 1 1 4 14 33 45 47 48 50 51 108 That means, that before the current patch is applied the ring buffer is observed as full (128 requests were consumed at once) in 60% of calls. After patch is applied the distribution of number of completed requests is "smoother" and the queue (requests in-flight) is almost never full. The fio read results are the following (write results are almost the same and are not showed here): Before ------ job: (groupid=0, jobs=8): err= 0: pid=2227: Tue Jul 19 11:29:50 2016 Description : [Emulation of Storage Server Access Pattern] read : io=54681MB, bw=1822.7MB/s, iops=179779, runt= 30001msec slat (usec): min=172, max=16883, avg=338.35, stdev=109.66 clat (usec): min=1, max=21977, avg=1051.45, stdev=299.29 lat (usec): min=317, max=22521, avg=1389.83, stdev=300.73 clat percentiles (usec): | 1.00th=[ 346], 5.00th=[ 596], 10.00th=[ 708], 20.00th=[ 852], | 30.00th=[ 932], 40.00th=[ 996], 50.00th=[ 1048], 60.00th=[ 1112], | 70.00th=[ 1176], 80.00th=[ 1256], 90.00th=[ 1384], 95.00th=[ 1496], | 99.00th=[ 1800], 99.50th=[ 1928], 99.90th=[ 2320], 99.95th=[ 2672], | 99.99th=[ 4704] bw (KB /s): min=205229, max=553181, per=12.50%, avg=233278.26, stdev=18383.51 After ------ job: (groupid=0, jobs=8): err= 0: pid=2220: Tue Jul 19 11:31:51 2016 Description : [Emulation of Storage Server Access Pattern] read : io=57637MB, bw=1921.2MB/s, iops=189529, runt= 30002msec slat (usec): min=169, max=20636, avg=329.61, stdev=124.18 clat (usec): min=2, max=19592, avg=988.78, stdev=251.04 lat (usec): min=381, max=21067, avg=1318.42, stdev=243.58 clat percentiles (usec): | 1.00th=[ 310], 5.00th=[ 580], 10.00th=[ 748], 20.00th=[ 876], | 30.00th=[ 908], 40.00th=[ 948], 50.00th=[ 1012], 60.00th=[ 1064], | 70.00th=[ 1080], 80.00th=[ 1128], 90.00th=[ 1224], 95.00th=[ 1288], | 99.00th=[ 1496], 99.50th=[ 1608], 99.90th=[ 1960], 99.95th=[ 2256], | 99.99th=[ 5408] bw (KB /s): min=212149, max=390160, per=12.49%, avg=245746.04, stdev=11606.75 Throughput increased from 1822MB/s to 1921MB/s, average completion latencies decreased from 1051us to 988us.

2016-07-18linux-aio: prevent submitting more than MAX_EVENTSRoman Pen
Invoking io_setup(MAX_EVENTS) we ask kernel to create ring buffer for us with specified number of events. But kernel ring buffer allocation logic is a bit tricky (ring buffer is page size aligned + some percpu allocation are required) so eventually more than requested events number is allocated. From a userspace side we have to follow the convention and should not try to io_submit() more or logic, which consumes completed events, should be changed accordingly. The pitfall is in the following sequence: MAX_EVENTS = 128 io_setup(MAX_EVENTS) io_submit(MAX_EVENTS) io_submit(MAX_EVENTS) /* now 256 events are in-flight */ io_getevents(MAX_EVENTS) = 128 /* we can handle only 128 events at once, to be sure * that nothing is pended the io_getevents(MAX_EVENTS) * call must be invoked once more or hang will happen. */ To prevent the hang or reiteration of io_getevents() call this patch restricts the number of in-flights, which is now limited to MAX_EVENTS.

2016-07-13coroutine: move entry argument to qemu_coroutine_createPaolo Bonzini
In practice the entry argument is always known at creation time, and it is confusing that sometimes qemu_coroutine_enter is used with a non-NULL argument to re-enter a coroutine (this happens in block/sheepdog.c and tests/test-coroutine.c). So pass the opaque value at creation time, for consistency with e.g. aio_bh_new. Mostly done with the following semantic patch: @ entry1 @ expression entry, arg, co; @@ - co = qemu_coroutine_create(entry); + co = qemu_coroutine_create(entry, arg); ... - qemu_coroutine_enter(co, arg); + qemu_coroutine_enter(co); @ entry2 @ expression entry, arg; identifier co; @@ - Coroutine *co = qemu_coroutine_create(entry); + Coroutine *co = qemu_coroutine_create(entry, arg); ... - qemu_coroutine_enter(co, arg); + qemu_coroutine_enter(co); @ entry3 @ expression entry, arg; @@ - qemu_coroutine_enter(qemu_coroutine_create(entry), arg); + qemu_coroutine_enter(qemu_coroutine_create(entry, arg)); @ reentry @ expression co; @@ - qemu_coroutine_enter(co, NULL); + qemu_coroutine_enter(co); except for the aforementioned few places where the semantic patch stumbled (as expected) and for test_co_queue, which would otherwise produce an uninitialized variable warning.

2016-06-16linux-aio: Cancel BH if not neededKevin Wolf
linux-aio uses a BH in order to make sure that the remaining completions are processed even in nested event loops of completion callbacks in order to avoid deadlocks. There is no need, however, to have the BH overhead for the first call into qemu_laio_completion_bh() or after all pending completions have already been processed. Therefore, this patch calls directly into qemu_laio_completion_bh() in qemu_laio_completion_cb() and cancels the BH after qemu_laio_completion_bh() has processed all pending completions.

In terms of semantics and performance, it doesn't make a difference with the existing code whether we go from a coroutine to a callback-based interface already in block/io.c or only in linux-aio.c As there have been concerns in the past that this change may be a step in the wrong direction with respect to a possible AIO fast path, the old callback-based interface for linux-aio is left around and can be reactivated when a fast path (e.g. directly from virtio-blk dataplane, bypassing the whole block layer) is implemented.

2014-12-12linux-aio: track whether the queue is blockedPaolo Bonzini
Avoid that unplug submits requests when io_submit reported that it couldn't accept more; at the same time, try more io_submit calls if it could handle the whole set of requests that were passed, so that the "blocked" flag is reset as soon as possible. After the previous patch, laio_submit already tried to avoid submitting requests to a blocked queue, by comparing s->io_q.idx with "==" instead of the more natural ">=". Switch to the simpler expression now that we have the "blocked" flag.

2014-12-12linux-aio: queue requests that cannot be submittedPaolo Bonzini
Keep a queue of requests that were not submitted; pass them to the kernel when a completion is reported, unless the queue is plugged. The array of iocbs is rebuilt every time from scratch. This avoids keeping the iocbs array and list synchronized.

I'll use it with block backends shortly, and the name is going to fit badly there. It's a block layer thing anyway, not just a block driver thing. Signed-off-by: Markus Armbruster <armbru@redhat.com> Reviewed-by: Max Reitz <mreitz@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Kevin Wolf <kwolf@redhat.com>
