16 * BFQ is a proportional-share I/O scheduler, with some extra
17 * low-latency capabilities. BFQ also supports full hierarchical
18 * scheduling through cgroups. Next paragraphs provide an introduction
19 * on BFQ inner workings. Details on BFQ benefits, usage and
20 * limitations can be found in Documentation/block/bfq-iosched.rst.
22 * BFQ is a proportional-share storage-I/O scheduling algorithm based
23 * on the slice-by-slice service scheme of CFQ. But BFQ assigns
24 * budgets, measured in number of sectors, to processes instead of
25 * time slices. The device is not granted to the in-service process
26 * for a given time slice, but until it has exhausted its assigned
27 * budget. This change from the time to the service domain enables BFQ
28 * to distribute the device throughput among processes as desired,
29 * without any distortion due to throughput fluctuations, or to device
30 * internal queueing. BFQ uses an ad hoc internal scheduler, called
31 * B-WF2Q+, to schedule processes according to their budgets. More
32 * precisely, BFQ schedules queues associated with processes. Each
33 * process/queue is assigned a user-configurable weight, and B-WF2Q+
34 * guarantees that each queue receives a fraction of the throughput
35 * proportional to its weight. Thanks to the accurate policy of
36 * B-WF2Q+, BFQ can afford to assign high budgets to I/O-bound
37 * processes issuing sequential requests (to boost the throughput),
38 * and yet guarantee a low latency to interactive and soft real-time
41 * In particular, to provide these low-latency guarantees, BFQ
42 * explicitly privileges the I/O of two classes of time-sensitive
43 * applications: interactive and soft real-time. In more detail, BFQ
44 * behaves this way if the low_latency parameter is set (default
45 * configuration). This feature enables BFQ to provide applications in
46 * these classes with a very low latency.
48 * To implement this feature, BFQ constantly tries to detect whether
49 * the I/O requests in a bfq_queue come from an interactive or a soft
50 * real-time application. For brevity, in these cases, the queue is
51 * said to be interactive or soft real-time. In both cases, BFQ
52 * privileges the service of the queue, over that of non-interactive
53 * and non-soft-real-time queues. This privileging is performed,
54 * mainly, by raising the weight of the queue. So, for brevity, we
55 * call just weight-raising periods the time periods during which a
56 * queue is privileged, because deemed interactive or soft real-time.
58 * The detection of soft real-time queues/applications is described in
59 * detail in the comments on the function
60 * bfq_bfqq_softrt_next_start. On the other hand, the detection of an
61 * interactive queue works as follows: a queue is deemed interactive
62 * if it is constantly non empty only for a limited time interval,
63 * after which it does become empty. The queue may be deemed
64 * interactive again (for a limited time), if it restarts being
65 * constantly non empty, provided that this happens only after the
66 * queue has remained empty for a given minimum idle time.
68 * By default, BFQ computes automatically the above maximum time
69 * interval, i.e., the time interval after which a constantly
70 * non-empty queue stops being deemed interactive. Since a queue is
71 * weight-raised while it is deemed interactive, this maximum time
72 * interval happens to coincide with the (maximum) duration of the
73 * weight-raising for interactive queues.
75 * Finally, BFQ also features additional heuristics for
76 * preserving both a low latency and a high throughput on NCQ-capable,
77 * rotational or flash-based devices, and to get the job done quickly
78 * for applications consisting in many I/O-bound processes.
80 * NOTE: if the main or only goal, with a given device, is to achieve
81 * the maximum-possible throughput at all times, then do switch off
82 * all low-latency heuristics for that device, by setting low_latency
85 * BFQ is described in [1], where also a reference to the initial,
86 * more theoretical paper on BFQ can be found. The interested reader
87 * can find in the latter paper full details on the main algorithm, as
88 * well as formulas of the guarantees and formal proofs of all the
89 * properties. With respect to the version of BFQ presented in these
90 * papers, this implementation adds a few more heuristics, such as the
91 * ones that guarantee a low latency to interactive and soft real-time
92 * applications, and a hierarchical extension based on H-WF2Q+.
94 * B-WF2Q+ is based on WF2Q+, which is described in [2], together with
95 * H-WF2Q+, while the augmented tree used here to implement B-WF2Q+
96 * with O(log N) complexity derives from the one introduced with EEVDF

270 * When configured for computing the duration of the weight-raising
271 * for interactive queues automatically (see the comments at the
272 * beginning of this file), BFQ does it using the following formula:
273 * duration = (ref_rate / r) * ref_wr_duration,
274 * where r is the peak rate of the device, and ref_rate and
275 * ref_wr_duration are two reference parameters. In particular,
276 * ref_rate is the peak rate of the reference storage device (see
277 * below), and ref_wr_duration is about the maximum time needed, with
278 * BFQ and while reading two files in parallel, to load typical large
279 * applications on the reference device (see the comments on
280 * max_service_from_wr below, for more details on how ref_wr_duration
281 * is obtained). In practice, the slower/faster the device at hand
282 * is, the more/less it takes to load applications with respect to the
283 * reference device. Accordingly, the longer/shorter BFQ grants
284 * weight raising to interactive applications.
286 * BFQ uses two different reference pairs (ref_rate, ref_wr_duration),
287 * depending on whether the device is rotational or non-rotational.
289 * In the following definitions, ref_rate[0] and ref_wr_duration[0]
290 * are the reference values for a rotational device, whereas
291 * ref_rate[1] and ref_wr_duration[1] are the reference values for a
292 * non-rotational device. The reference rates are not the actual peak
293 * rates of the devices used as a reference, but slightly lower
294 * values. The reason for using slightly lower values is that the
295 * peak-rate estimator tends to yield slightly lower values than the
296 * actual peak rate (it can yield the actual peak rate only if there
297 * is only one process doing I/O, and the process does sequential

305 * To improve readability, a conversion function is used to initialize
306 * the following array, which entails that the array can be
307 * initialized only in a function.
309 static int ref_wr_duration
[2];
312 * BFQ uses the above-detailed, time-based weight-raising mechanism to
313 * privilege interactive tasks. This mechanism is vulnerable to the
314 * following false positives: I/O-bound applications that will go on
315 * doing I/O for much longer than the duration of weight
316 * raising. These applications have basically no benefit from being
317 * weight-raised at the beginning of their I/O. On the opposite end,
318 * while being weight-raised, these applications
319 * a) unjustly steal throughput to applications that may actually need
321 * b) make BFQ uselessly perform device idling; device idling results
322 * in loss of device throughput with most flash-based storage, and may
323 * increase latencies when used purposelessly.
325 * BFQ tries to reduce these problems, by adopting the following
326 * countermeasure. To introduce this countermeasure, we need first to
327 * finish explaining how the duration of weight-raising for
328 * interactive tasks is computed.
330 * For a bfq_queue deemed as interactive, the duration of weight
331 * raising is dynamically adjusted, as a function of the estimated
332 * peak rate of the device, so as to be equal to the time needed to
333 * execute the 'largest' interactive task we benchmarked so far. By
334 * largest task, we mean the task for which each involved process has
335 * to do more I/O than for any of the other tasks we benchmarked. This
336 * reference interactive task is the start-up of LibreOffice Writer,
337 * and in this task each process/bfq_queue needs to have at most ~110K
338 * sectors transferred.
340 * This last piece of information enables BFQ to reduce the actual
341 * duration of weight-raising for at least one class of I/O-bound
342 * applications: those doing sequential or quasi-sequential I/O. An
343 * example is file copy. In fact, once started, the main I/O-bound
344 * processes of these applications usually consume the above 110K
345 * sectors in much less time than the processes of an application that
346 * is starting, because these I/O-bound processes will greedily devote
347 * almost all their CPU cycles only to their target,
348 * throughput-friendly I/O operations. This is even more true if BFQ
349 * happens to be underestimating the device peak rate, and thus
350 * overestimating the duration of weight raising. But, according to
351 * our measurements, once transferred 110K sectors, these processes
352 * have no right to be weight-raised any longer.
354 * Basing on the last consideration, BFQ ends weight-raising for a
355 * bfq_queue if the latter happens to have received an amount of
356 * service at least equal to the following constant. The constant is
357 * set to slightly more than 110K, to have a minimum safety margin.
359 * This early ending of weight-raising reduces the amount of time
360 * during which interactive false positives cause the two problems
361 * described at the beginning of these comments.

1135 * many parallel threads/processes. Examples are systemd during boot,
1136 * or git grep. To help these processes get their job done as soon as
1137 * possible, it is usually better to not grant either weight-raising
1138 * or device idling to their queues, unless these queues must be
1139 * protected from the I/O flowing through other active queues.
1141 * In this comment we describe, firstly, the reasons why this fact
1142 * holds, and, secondly, the next function, which implements the main
1143 * steps needed to properly mark these queues so that they can then be
1144 * treated in a different way.
1146 * The above services or applications benefit mostly from a high
1147 * throughput: the quicker the requests of the activated queues are
1148 * cumulatively served, the sooner the target job of these queues gets
1149 * completed. As a consequence, weight-raising any of these queues,
1150 * which also implies idling the device for it, is almost always
1151 * counterproductive, unless there are other active queues to isolate
1152 * these new queues from. If there no other active queues, then
1153 * weight-raising these new queues just lowers throughput in most
1156 * On the other hand, a burst of queue creations may be caused also by
1157 * the start of an application that does not consist of a lot of
1158 * parallel I/O-bound threads. In fact, with a complex application,
1159 * several short processes may need to be executed to start-up the
1160 * application. In this respect, to start an application as quickly as
1161 * possible, the best thing to do is in any case to privilege the I/O
1162 * related to the application with respect to all other
1163 * I/O. Therefore, the best strategy to start as quickly as possible
1164 * an application that causes a burst of queue creations is to
1165 * weight-raise all the queues created during the burst. This is the
1166 * exact opposite of the best strategy for the other type of bursts.
1168 * In the end, to take the best action for each of the two cases, the
1169 * two types of bursts need to be distinguished. Fortunately, this
1170 * seems relatively easy, by looking at the sizes of the bursts. In
1171 * particular, we found a threshold such that only bursts with a
1172 * larger size than that threshold are apparently caused by
1173 * services or commands such as systemd or git grep. For brevity,
1174 * hereafter we call just 'large' these bursts. BFQ *does not*
1175 * weight-raise queues whose creation occurs in a large burst. In
1176 * addition, for each of these queues BFQ performs or does not perform
1177 * idling depending on which choice boosts the throughput more. The
1178 * exact choice depends on the device and request pattern at
1181 * Unfortunately, false positives may occur while an interactive task
1182 * is starting (e.g., an application is being started). The
1183 * consequence is that the queues associated with the task do not
1184 * enjoy weight raising as expected. Fortunately these false positives
1185 * are very rare. They typically occur if some service happens to
1186 * start doing I/O exactly when the interactive task starts.
1188 * Turning back to the next function, it is invoked only if there are
1189 * no active queues (apart from active queues that would belong to the
1190 * same, possible burst bfqq would belong to), and it implements all
1191 * the steps needed to detect the occurrence of a large burst and to
1192 * properly mark all the queues belonging to it (so that they can then
1193 * be treated in a different way). This goal is achieved by
1194 * maintaining a "burst list" that holds, temporarily, the queues that
1195 * belong to the burst in progress. The list is then used to mark
1196 * these queues as belonging to a large burst if the burst does become
1197 * large. The main steps are the following.
1199 * . when the very first queue is created, the queue is inserted into the
1200 * list (as it could be the first queue in a possible burst)
1202 * . if the current burst has not yet become large, and a queue Q that does
1203 * not yet belong to the burst is activated shortly after the last time
1204 * at which a new queue entered the burst list, then the function appends
1205 * Q to the burst list
1207 * . if, as a consequence of the previous step, the burst size reaches
1208 * the large-burst threshold, then
1210 * . all the queues in the burst list are marked as belonging to a
1213 * . the burst list is deleted; in fact, the burst list already served
1214 * its purpose (keeping temporarily track of the queues in a burst,
1215 * so as to be able to mark them as belonging to a large burst in the
1216 * previous sub-step), and now is not needed any more
1218 * . the device enters a large-burst mode
1220 * . if a queue Q that does not belong to the burst is created while
1221 * the device is in large-burst mode and shortly after the last time
1222 * at which a queue either entered the burst list or was marked as
1223 * belonging to the current large burst, then Q is immediately marked
1224 * as belonging to a large burst.
1226 * . if a queue Q that does not belong to the burst is created a while
1227 * later, i.e., not shortly after, than the last time at which a queue
1228 * either entered the burst list or was marked as belonging to the
1229 * current large burst, then the current burst is deemed as finished and:
1231 * . the large-burst mode is reset if set
1233 * . the burst list is emptied
1235 * . Q is inserted in the burst list, as Q may be the first queue
1236 * in a possible new burst (then the burst list contains just Q

1340 * whether the in-service queue should be expired, by returning
1341 * true. The purpose of expiring the in-service queue is to give bfqq
1342 * the chance to possibly preempt the in-service queue, and the reason
1343 * for preempting the in-service queue is to achieve one of the two
1346 * 1. Guarantee to bfqq its reserved bandwidth even if bfqq has
1347 * expired because it has remained idle. In particular, bfqq may have
1348 * expired for one of the following two reasons:
1350 * - BFQQE_NO_MORE_REQUESTS bfqq did not enjoy any device idling
1351 * and did not make it to issue a new request before its last
1352 * request was served;
1354 * - BFQQE_TOO_IDLE bfqq did enjoy device idling, but did not issue
1355 * a new request before the expiration of the idling-time.
1357 * Even if bfqq has expired for one of the above reasons, the process
1358 * associated with the queue may be however issuing requests greedily,
1359 * and thus be sensitive to the bandwidth it receives (bfqq may have
1360 * remained idle for other reasons: CPU high load, bfqq not enjoying
1361 * idling, I/O throttling somewhere in the path from the process to
1362 * the I/O scheduler, ...). But if, after every expiration for one of
1363 * the above two reasons, bfqq has to wait for the service of at least
1364 * one full budget of another queue before being served again, then
1365 * bfqq is likely to get a much lower bandwidth or resource time than
1366 * its reserved ones. To address this issue, two countermeasures need
1369 * First, the budget and the timestamps of bfqq need to be updated in
1370 * a special way on bfqq reactivation: they need to be updated as if
1371 * bfqq did not remain idle and did not expire. In fact, if they are
1372 * computed as if bfqq expired and remained idle until reactivation,
1373 * then the process associated with bfqq is treated as if, instead of
1374 * being greedy, it stopped issuing requests when bfqq remained idle,
1375 * and restarts issuing requests only on this reactivation. In other
1376 * words, the scheduler does not help the process recover the "service
1377 * hole" between bfqq expiration and reactivation. As a consequence,
1378 * the process receives a lower bandwidth than its reserved one. In
1379 * contrast, to recover this hole, the budget must be updated as if
1380 * bfqq was not expired at all before this reactivation, i.e., it must
1381 * be set to the value of the remaining budget when bfqq was
1382 * expired. Along the same line, timestamps need to be assigned the
1383 * value they had the last time bfqq was selected for service, i.e.,
1384 * before last expiration. Thus timestamps need to be back-shifted
1385 * with respect to their normal computation (see [1] for more details
1386 * on this tricky aspect).
1388 * Secondly, to allow the process to recover the hole, the in-service
1389 * queue must be expired too, to give bfqq the chance to preempt it
1390 * immediately. In fact, if bfqq has to wait for a full budget of the
1391 * in-service queue to be completed, then it may become impossible to
1392 * let the process recover the hole, even if the back-shifted
1393 * timestamps of bfqq are lower than those of the in-service queue. If
1394 * this happens for most or all of the holes, then the process may not
1395 * receive its reserved bandwidth. In this respect, it is worth noting
1396 * that, being the service of outstanding requests unpreemptible, a
1397 * little fraction of the holes may however be unrecoverable, thereby
1398 * causing a little loss of bandwidth.
1400 * The last important point is detecting whether bfqq does need this
1401 * bandwidth recovery. In this respect, the next function deems the
1402 * process associated with bfqq greedy, and thus allows it to recover
1403 * the hole, if: 1) the process is waiting for the arrival of a new
1404 * request (which implies that bfqq expired for one of the above two
1405 * reasons), and 2) such a request has arrived soon. The first
1406 * condition is controlled through the flag non_blocking_wait_rq,
1407 * while the second through the flag arrived_in_time. If both
1408 * conditions hold, then the function computes the budget in the
1409 * above-described special way, and signals that the in-service queue
1410 * should be expired. Timestamp back-shifting is done later in
1411 * __bfq_activate_entity.
1413 * 2. Reduce latency. Even if timestamps are not backshifted to let
1414 * the process associated with bfqq recover a service hole, bfqq may
1415 * however happen to have, after being (re)activated, a lower finish
1416 * timestamp than the in-service queue. That is, the next budget of
1417 * bfqq may have to be completed before the one of the in-service
1418 * queue. If this is the case, then preempting the in-service queue
1419 * allows this goal to be achieved, apart from the unpreemptible,
1420 * outstanding requests mentioned above.
1422 * Unfortunately, regardless of which of the above two goals one wants
1423 * to achieve, service trees need first to be updated to know whether
1424 * the in-service queue must be preempted. To have service trees
1425 * correctly updated, the in-service queue must be expired and
1426 * rescheduled, and bfqq must be scheduled too. This is one of the
1427 * most costly operations (in future versions, the scheduling
1428 * mechanism may be re-designed in such a way to make it possible to
1429 * know whether preemption is needed without needing to update service
1430 * trees). In addition, queue preemptions almost always cause random
1431 * I/O, which may in turn cause loss of throughput. Finally, there may
1432 * even be no in-service queue when the next function is invoked (so,
1433 * no queue to compare timestamps with). Because of these facts, the
1434 * next function adopts the following simple scheme to avoid costly
1435 * operations, too frequent preemptions and too many dependencies on
1436 * the state of the scheduler: it requests the expiration of the
1437 * in-service queue (unconditionally) only for queues that need to
1438 * recover a hole. Then it delegates to other parts of the code the
1439 * responsibility of handling the above case 2.

1757 * hole, as explained in the comments on
1758 * bfq_bfqq_update_budg_for_activation(), i.e., that
1759 * bfqq_wants_to_preempt is true. However, if bfqq does not
1760 * carry time-critical I/O, then bfqq's bandwidth is less
1761 * important than that of queues that carry time-critical I/O.
1762 * So, as a further constraint, we consider this case only if
1763 * bfqq is at least as weight-raised, i.e., at least as time
1764 * critical, as the in-service queue.
1766 * The second case is that bfqq is in a higher priority class,
1767 * or has a higher weight than the in-service queue. If this
1768 * condition does not hold, we don't care because, even if
1769 * bfqq does not start to be served immediately, the resulting
1770 * delay for bfqq's I/O is however lower or much lower than
1771 * the ideal completion time to be guaranteed to bfqq's I/O.
1773 * In both cases, preemption is needed only if, according to
1774 * the timestamps of both bfqq and of the in-service queue,
1775 * bfqq actually is the next queue to serve. So, to reduce
1776 * useless preemptions, the return value of
1777 * next_queue_may_preempt() is considered in the next compound
1778 * condition too. Yet next_queue_may_preempt() just checks a
1779 * simple, necessary condition for bfqq to be the next queue
1780 * to serve. In fact, to evaluate a sufficient condition, the
1781 * timestamps of the in-service queue would need to be

1810 * of bfqq, and therefore, if one request was injected when
1811 * bfqq remains empty, this injected request might delay the
1812 * service of the next I/O request for bfqq significantly. In
1813 * case bfqq can actually tolerate some injection, then the
1814 * adaptive update will however raise the limit soon. This
1815 * lucky circumstance holds exactly because bfqq has a short
1816 * think time, and thus, after remaining empty, is likely to
1817 * get new I/O enqueued---and then completed---before being
1818 * expired. This is the very pattern that gives the
1819 * limit-update algorithm the chance to measure the effect of
1820 * injection on request service times, and then to update the
1821 * limit accordingly.
1823 * However, in the following special case, the inject limit is
1824 * left to 1 even if the think time is short: bfqq's I/O is
1825 * synchronized with that of some other queue, i.e., bfqq may
1826 * receive new I/O only after the I/O of the other queue is
1827 * completed. Keeping the inject limit to 1 allows the
1828 * blocking I/O to be served while bfqq is in service. And
1829 * this is very convenient both for bfqq and for overall
1830 * throughput, as explained in detail in the comments in
1831 * bfq_update_has_short_ttime().
1833 * On the opposite end, if bfqq has a long think time, then
1834 * start directly by 1, because:
1835 * a) on the bright side, keeping at most one request in
1836 * service in the drive is unlikely to cause any harm to the
1837 * latency of bfqq's requests, as the service time of a single
1838 * request is likely to be lower than the think time of bfqq;
1839 * b) on the downside, after becoming empty, bfqq is likely to
1840 * expire before getting its next request. With this request
1841 * arrival pattern, it is very hard to sample total service
1842 * times and update the inject limit accordingly (see comments
1843 * on bfq_update_inject_limit()). So the limit is likely to be
1844 * never, or at least seldom, updated. As a consequence, by
1845 * setting the limit to 1, we avoid that no injection ever
1846 * occurs with bfqq. On the downside, this proactive step
1847 * further reduces chances to actually compute the baseline
1848 * total service time. Thus it reduces chances to execute the
1849 * limit-update algorithm and possibly raise the limit to more

1882 * A remarkable throughput boost can be reached by

1885 * happens to be invoked while I/O is being plugged

1890 * mechanism, but less effectively. For details on

1892 * queue for injection in bfq_select_queue().
1894 * Turning back to the detection of a waker queue, a

1897 * empty right after a request of Q has been
1898 * completed. In particular, on the first time, Q is
1899 * tentatively set as a candidate waker queue, while
1900 * on the second time, the flag
1901 * bfq_bfqq_has_waker(bfqq) is set to confirm that Q
1902 * is a waker queue for bfqq. These detection steps
1903 * are performed only if bfqq has a long think time,

1905 * actually being blocked by a synchronization. This
1906 * last filter, plus the above two-times requirement,
1907 * make false positives less likely.
1911 * The sooner a waker queue is detected, the sooner
1912 * throughput can be boosted by injecting I/O from the
1913 * waker queue. Fortunately, detection is likely to be
1914 * actually fast, for the following reasons. While
1915 * blocked by synchronization, bfqq has a long think
1916 * time. This implies that bfqq's inject limit is at
1917 * least equal to 1 (see the comments in
1918 * bfq_update_inject_limit()). So, thanks to
1919 * injection, the waker queue is likely to be served
1920 * during the very first I/O-plugging time interval
1921 * for bfqq. This triggers the first step of the
1922 * detection mechanism. Thanks again to injection, the
1923 * candidate waker queue is then likely to be

2573 * throughput, it must have many requests enqueued at the same
2574 * time. But, in this configuration, the internal scheduling
2575 * algorithm of the device does exactly the job of queue
2576 * merging: it reorders requests so as to obtain as much as
2577 * possible a sequential I/O pattern. As a consequence, with
2578 * the workload generated by processes doing interleaved I/O,
2579 * the throughput reached by the device is likely to be the
2580 * same, with and without queue merging.
2582 * Disabling merging also provides a remarkable benefit in
2583 * terms of throughput. Merging tends to make many workloads
2584 * artificially more uneven, because of shared queues
2585 * remaining non empty for incomparably more time than
2586 * non-merged queues. This may accentuate workload
2587 * asymmetries. For example, if one of the queues in a set of
2588 * merged queues has a higher weight than a normal queue, then
2589 * the shared queue may inherit such a high weight and, by
2590 * staying almost always active, may force BFQ to perform I/O
2591 * plugging most of the time. This evidently makes it harder
2592 * for BFQ to let the device reach a high throughput.
2594 * Finally, the likely() macro below is not used because one
2595 * of the two branches is more likely than the other, but to
2596 * have the code path after the following if() executed as
2597 * fast as possible for the case of a non rotational device
2598 * with queueing. We want it because this is the fastest kind
2599 * of device. On the opposite end, the likely() may lengthen
2600 * the execution time of BFQ for the case of slower devices

3114 * say exactly when a given dispatched request is served inside the

3119 * On the opposite end, the dispatch time of any request is trivially

3230 * delegating de facto final scheduling decisions to the
3231 * drive's internal scheduler, entails loss of control on the
3232 * actual request service order. In particular, the critical
3233 * situation is when requests from different processes happen
3234 * to be present, at the same time, in the internal queue(s)
3235 * of the drive. In such a situation, the drive, by deciding
3236 * the service order of the internally-queued requests, does
3237 * determine also the actual throughput distribution among
3238 * these processes. But the drive typically has no notion or
3239 * concern about per-process throughput distribution, and
3240 * makes its decisions only on a per-request basis. Therefore,
3241 * the service distribution enforced by the drive's internal
3242 * scheduler is likely to coincide with the desired throughput
3243 * distribution only in a completely symmetric, or favorably
3244 * skewed scenario where:
3245 * (i-a) each of these processes must get the same throughput as
3247 * (i-b) in case (i-a) does not hold, it holds that the process
3248 * associated with bfqq must receive a lower or equal
3249 * throughput than any of the other processes;
3250 * (ii) the I/O of each process has the same properties, in
3251 * terms of locality (sequential or random), direction
3252 * (reads or writes), request sizes, greediness
3253 * (from I/O-bound to sporadic), and so on;
3255 * In fact, in such a scenario, the drive tends to treat the requests
3256 * of each process in about the same way as the requests of the
3257 * others, and thus to provide each of these processes with about the
3258 * same throughput. This is exactly the desired throughput
3259 * distribution if (i-a) holds, or, if (i-b) holds instead, this is an
3260 * even more convenient distribution for (the process associated with)
3263 * In contrast, in any asymmetric or unfavorable scenario, device
3264 * idling (I/O-dispatch plugging) is certainly needed to guarantee
3265 * that bfqq receives its assigned fraction of the device throughput
3266 * (see [1] for details).
3268 * The problem is that idling may significantly reduce throughput with
3269 * certain combinations of types of I/O and devices. An important
3270 * example is sync random I/O on flash storage with command
3271 * queueing. So, unless bfqq falls in cases where idling also boosts
3272 * throughput, it is important to check conditions (i-a), i(-b) and
3273 * (ii) accurately, so as to avoid idling when not strictly needed for
3274 * service guarantees.
3276 * Unfortunately, it is extremely difficult to thoroughly check
3277 * condition (ii). And, in case there are active groups, it becomes
3278 * very difficult to check conditions (i-a) and (i-b) too. In fact,
3279 * if there are active groups, then, for conditions (i-a) or (i-b) to
3280 * become false 'indirectly', it is enough that an active group
3281 * contains more active processes or sub-groups than some other active
3282 * group. More precisely, for conditions (i-a) or (i-b) to become
3283 * false because of such a group, it is not even necessary that the
3284 * group is (still) active: it is sufficient that, even if the group
3285 * has become inactive, some of its descendant processes still have
3286 * some request already dispatched but still waiting for
3287 * completion. In fact, requests have still to be guaranteed their
3288 * share of the throughput even after being dispatched. In this
3289 * respect, it is easy to show that, if a group frequently becomes
3290 * inactive while still having in-flight requests, and if, when this
3291 * happens, the group is not considered in the calculation of whether
3292 * the scenario is asymmetric, then the group may fail to be
3293 * guaranteed its fair share of the throughput (basically because
3294 * idling may not be performed for the descendant processes of the
3295 * group, but it had to be). We address this issue with the following
3296 * bi-modal behavior, implemented in the function
3297 * bfq_asymmetric_scenario().
3299 * If there are groups with requests waiting for completion
3300 * (as commented above, some of these groups may even be
3301 * already inactive), then the scenario is tagged as
3302 * asymmetric, conservatively, without checking any of the
3303 * conditions (i-a), (i-b) or (ii). So the device is idled for bfqq.
3304 * This behavior matches also the fact that groups are created
3305 * exactly if controlling I/O is a primary concern (to
3306 * preserve bandwidth and latency guarantees).
3308 * On the opposite end, if there are no groups with requests waiting
3309 * for completion, then only conditions (i-a) and (i-b) are actually
3310 * controlled, i.e., provided that conditions (i-a) or (i-b) holds,
3311 * idling is not performed, regardless of whether condition (ii)
3312 * holds. In other words, only if conditions (i-a) and (i-b) do not
3313 * hold, then idling is allowed, and the device tends to be prevented
3314 * from queueing many requests, possibly of several processes. Since
3315 * there are no groups with requests waiting for completion, then, to
3316 * control conditions (i-a) and (i-b) it is enough to check just
3317 * whether all the queues with requests waiting for completion also
3318 * have the same weight.
3320 * Not checking condition (ii) evidently exposes bfqq to the
3321 * risk of getting less throughput than its fair share.
3322 * However, for queues with the same weight, a further
3323 * mechanism, preemption, mitigates or even eliminates this
3324 * problem. And it does so without consequences on overall
3325 * throughput. This mechanism and its benefits are explained
3326 * in the next three paragraphs.
3328 * Even if a queue, say Q, is expired when it remains idle, Q
3329 * can still preempt the new in-service queue if the next
3330 * request of Q arrives soon (see the comments on
3331 * bfq_bfqq_update_budg_for_activation). If all queues and
3332 * groups have the same weight, this form of preemption,
3333 * combined with the hole-recovery heuristic described in the
3334 * comments on function bfq_bfqq_update_budg_for_activation,
3335 * are enough to preserve a correct bandwidth distribution in
3336 * the mid term, even without idling. In fact, even if not
3337 * idling allows the internal queues of the device to contain
3338 * many requests, and thus to reorder requests, we can rather
3339 * safely assume that the internal scheduler still preserves a
3340 * minimum of mid-term fairness.
3342 * More precisely, this preemption-based, idleless approach
3343 * provides fairness in terms of IOPS, and not sectors per
3344 * second. This can be seen with a simple example. Suppose
3345 * that there are two queues with the same weight, but that
3346 * the first queue receives requests of 8 sectors, while the
3347 * second queue receives requests of 1024 sectors. In
3348 * addition, suppose that each of the two queues contains at
3349 * most one request at a time, which implies that each queue
3350 * always remains idle after it is served. Finally, after
3351 * remaining idle, each queue receives very quickly a new
3352 * request. It follows that the two queues are served
3353 * alternatively, preempting each other if needed. This
3354 * implies that, although both queues have the same weight,
3355 * the queue with large requests receives a service that is
3356 * 1024/8 times as high as the service received by the other
3359 * The motivation for using preemption instead of idling (for
3360 * queues with the same weight) is that, by not idling,
3361 * service guarantees are preserved (completely or at least in
3362 * part) without minimally sacrificing throughput. And, if
3363 * there is no active group, then the primary expectation for
3364 * this device is probably a high throughput.
3366 * We are now left only with explaining the two sub-conditions in the
3367 * additional compound condition that is checked below for deciding
3368 * whether the scenario is asymmetric. To explain the first
3369 * sub-condition, we need to add that the function
3370 * bfq_asymmetric_scenario checks the weights of only
3371 * non-weight-raised queues, for efficiency reasons (see comments on
3372 * bfq_weights_tree_add()). Then the fact that bfqq is weight-raised
3373 * is checked explicitly here. More precisely, the compound condition
3374 * below takes into account also the fact that, even if bfqq is being
3375 * weight-raised, the scenario is still symmetric if all queues with
3376 * requests waiting for completion happen to be
3377 * weight-raised. Actually, we should be even more precise here, and
3378 * differentiate between interactive weight raising and soft real-time
3381 * The second sub-condition checked in the compound condition is
3382 * whether there is a fair amount of already in-flight I/O not
3383 * belonging to bfqq. If so, I/O dispatching is to be plugged, for the
3384 * following reason. The drive may decide to serve in-flight
3385 * non-bfqq's I/O requests before bfqq's ones, thereby delaying the
3386 * arrival of new I/O requests for bfqq (recall that bfqq is sync). If
3387 * I/O-dispatching is not plugged, then, while bfqq remains empty, a
3388 * basically uncontrolled amount of I/O from other queues may be
3389 * dispatched too, possibly causing the service of bfqq's I/O to be
3390 * delayed even longer in the drive. This problem gets more and more
3391 * serious as the speed and the queue depth of the drive grow,
3392 * because, as these two quantities grow, the probability to find no
3393 * queue busy but many requests in flight grows too. By contrast,
3394 * plugging I/O dispatching minimizes the delay induced by already
3395 * in-flight I/O, and enables bfqq to recover the bandwidth it may
3396 * lose because of this delay.
3398 * As a side note, it is worth considering that the above
3399 * device-idling countermeasures may however fail in the following
3400 * unlucky scenario: if I/O-dispatch plugging is (correctly) disabled
3401 * in a time period during which all symmetry sub-conditions hold, and
3402 * therefore the device is allowed to enqueue many requests, but at
3403 * some later point in time some sub-condition stops to hold, then it
3404 * may become impossible to make requests be served in the desired
3405 * order until all the requests already queued in the device have been
3406 * served. The last sub-condition commented above somewhat mitigates
3407 * this problem for weight-raised queues.

3662 * the real rate at which the I/O requests of each bfq_queue are
3663 * served. In fact, for an I/O scheduler like BFQ, serving a
3664 * bfq_queue means just dispatching its requests during its service
3665 * slot (i.e., until the budget of the queue is exhausted, or the
3666 * queue remains idle, or, finally, a timeout fires). But, during the
3667 * service slot of a bfq_queue, around 100 ms at most, the device may
3668 * be even still processing requests of bfq_queues served in previous
3669 * service slots. On the opposite end, the requests of the in-service
3670 * bfq_queue may be completed after the service slot of the queue
3673 * Anyway, unless more sophisticated solutions are used
3674 * (where possible), the sum of the sizes of the requests dispatched
3675 * during the service slot of a bfq_queue is probably the only
3676 * approximation available for the service received by the bfq_queue
3677 * during its service slot. And this sum is the quantity used in this

3742 * The next function is invoked on the completion of the last request of a

3744 * that, if the next request of the application does not arrive before
3745 * soft_rt_next_start, then the above requirement on the bandwidth is met.
3747 * The second requirement is that the request pattern of the application is
3748 * isochronous, i.e., that, after issuing a request or a batch of requests,
3749 * the application stops issuing new requests until all its pending requests
3750 * have been completed. After that, the application may issue a new batch,
3752 * For this reason the next function is invoked to compute
3753 * soft_rt_next_start only for applications that meet this requirement,
3754 * whereas soft_rt_next_start is set to infinity for applications that do
3757 * Unfortunately, even a greedy (i.e., I/O-bound) application may
3758 * happen to meet, occasionally or systematically, both the above
3759 * bandwidth and isochrony requirements. This may happen at least in
3760 * the following circumstances. First, if the CPU load is high. The
3761 * application may stop issuing requests while the CPUs are busy
3762 * serving other processes, then restart, then stop again for a while,
3763 * and so on. The other circumstances are related to the storage
3764 * device: the storage device is highly loaded or reaches a low-enough
3765 * throughput with the I/O of the application (e.g., because the I/O
3766 * is random and/or the device is slow). In all these cases, the
3767 * I/O of the application may be simply slowed down enough to meet
3768 * the bandwidth and isochrony requirements. To reduce the probability
3769 * that greedy applications are deemed as soft real-time in these
3770 * corner cases, a further rule is used in the computation of
3771 * soft_rt_next_start: the return value of this function is forced to
3772 * be higher than the maximum between the following two quantities.
3774 * (a) Current time plus: (1) the maximum time for which the arrival
3775 * of a request is waited for when a sync queue becomes idle,
3776 * namely bfqd->bfq_slice_idle, and (2) a few extra jiffies. We
3777 * postpone for a moment the reason for adding a few extra
3778 * jiffies; we get back to it after next item (b). Lower-bounding
3779 * the return value of this function with the current time plus
3780 * bfqd->bfq_slice_idle tends to filter out greedy applications,
3781 * because the latter issue their next request as soon as possible
3782 * after the last one has been completed. In contrast, a soft
3783 * real-time application spends some time processing data, after a
3784 * batch of its requests has been completed.
3786 * (b) Current value of bfqq->soft_rt_next_start. As pointed out
3787 * above, greedy applications may happen to meet both the
3788 * bandwidth and isochrony requirements under heavy CPU or
3789 * storage-device load. In more detail, in these scenarios, these
3790 * applications happen, only for limited time periods, to do I/O
3791 * slowly enough to meet all the requirements described so far,
3792 * including the filtering in above item (a). These slow-speed
3793 * time intervals are usually interspersed between other time
3794 * intervals during which these applications do I/O at a very high
3795 * speed. Fortunately, exactly because of the high speed of the
3796 * I/O in the high-speed intervals, the values returned by this
3797 * function happen to be so high, near the end of any such
3798 * high-speed interval, to be likely to fall *after* the end of
3799 * the low-speed time interval that follows. These high values are
3800 * stored in bfqq->soft_rt_next_start after each invocation of
3801 * this function. As a consequence, if the last value of
3802 * bfqq->soft_rt_next_start is constantly used to lower-bound the
3803 * next value that this function may return, then, from the very
3804 * beginning of a low-speed interval, bfqq->soft_rt_next_start is

3807 * to soon for the application to be deemed as soft
3808 * real-time. Then, in the high-speed interval that follows, the
3809 * application will not be deemed as soft real-time, just because
3810 * it will do I/O at a high speed. And so on.
3812 * Getting back to the filtering in item (a), in the following two
3813 * cases this filtering might be easily passed by a greedy
3814 * application, if the reference quantity was just
3815 * bfqd->bfq_slice_idle:
3816 * 1) HZ is so low that the duration of a jiffy is comparable to or
3817 * higher than bfqd->bfq_slice_idle. This happens, e.g., on slow
3818 * devices with HZ=100. The time granularity may be so coarse
3819 * that the approximation, in jiffies, of bfqd->bfq_slice_idle
3820 * is rather lower than the exact value.
3821 * 2) jiffies, instead of increasing at a constant rate, may stop increasing
3822 * for a while, then suddenly 'jump' by several units to recover the lost
3823 * increments. This seems to happen, e.g., inside virtual machines.
3824 * To address this issue, in the filtering in (a) we do not use as a
3825 * reference time interval just bfqd->bfq_slice_idle, but
3826 * bfqd->bfq_slice_idle plus a few jiffies. In particular, we add the
3827 * minimum number of jiffies for which the filter seems to be quite
3828 * precise also in embedded systems and KVM/QEMU virtual machines.

4080 * When the request pool is saturated (e.g., in the presence
4081 * of write hogs), if the processes associated with
4082 * non-weight-raised queues ask for requests at a lower rate,
4083 * then processes associated with weight-raised queues have a
4084 * higher probability to get a request from the pool
4085 * immediately (or at least soon) when they need one. Thus
4086 * they have a higher probability to actually get a fraction
4087 * of the device throughput proportional to their high
4088 * weight. This is especially true with NCQ-capable drives,
4089 * which enqueue several requests in advance, and further
4090 * reorder internally-queued requests.
4092 * For this reason, we force to false the return value if

4095 * is not idled for bfqq (if, instead, bfqq is weight-raised,

4099 * sync non-weight-raised queue, to get a lower number of
4100 * requests served, and thus to ask for a lower number of
4101 * requests from the request pool, before the busy
4102 * weight-raised queues get served again. This often mitigates

4375 * The next three mutually-exclusive ifs decide

4377 * pick an I/O request from.
4379 * The first if checks whether the process associated
4380 * with bfqq has also async I/O pending. If so, it
4381 * injects such I/O unconditionally. Injecting async
4382 * I/O from the same process can cause no harm to the
4383 * process. On the contrary, it can only increase
4384 * bandwidth and reduce latency for the process.
4386 * The second if checks whether there happens to be a
4387 * non-empty waker queue for bfqq, i.e., a queue whose
4388 * I/O needs to be completed for bfqq to receive new
4389 * I/O. This happens, e.g., if bfqq is associated with
4390 * a process that does some sync. A sync generates
4391 * extra blocking I/O, which must be completed before
4392 * the process associated with bfqq can go on with its
4393 * I/O. If the I/O of the waker queue is not served,
4394 * then bfqq remains empty, and no I/O is dispatched,
4395 * until the idle timeout fires for bfqq. This is
4396 * likely to result in lower bandwidth and higher
4397 * latencies for bfqq, and in a severe loss of total
4398 * throughput. The best action to take is therefore to
4399 * serve the waker queue as soon as possible. So do it
4400 * (without relying on the third alternative below for
4401 * eventually serving waker_bfqq's I/O; see the last
4402 * paragraph for further details). This systematic
4403 * injection of I/O from the waker queue does not
4404 * cause any delay to bfqq's I/O. On the contrary,
4405 * next bfqq's I/O is brought forward dramatically,
4406 * for it is not blocked for milliseconds.
4408 * The third if checks whether bfqq is a queue for
4409 * which it is better to avoid injection. It is so if
4410 * bfqq delivers more throughput when served without
4411 * any further I/O from other queues in the middle, or
4412 * if the service times of bfqq's I/O requests both
4413 * count more than overall throughput, and may be
4414 * easily increased by injection (this happens if bfqq
4415 * has a short think time). If none of these
4416 * conditions holds, then a candidate queue for
4417 * injection is looked for through
4418 * bfq_choose_bfqq_for_injection(). Note that the
4419 * latter may return NULL (for example if the inject
4420 * limit for bfqq is currently 0).
4422 * NOTE: motivation for the second alternative
4424 * Thanks to the way the inject limit is updated in
4425 * bfq_update_has_short_ttime(), it is rather likely
4426 * that, if I/O is being plugged for bfqq and the
4427 * waker queue has pending I/O requests that are
4428 * blocking bfqq's I/O, then the third alternative
4429 * above lets the waker queue get served before the
4430 * I/O-plugging timeout fires. So one may deem the
4431 * second alternative superfluous. It is not, because
4432 * the third alternative may be way less effective in
4433 * case of a synchronization. For two main
4434 * reasons. First, throughput may be low because the
4435 * inject limit may be too low to guarantee the same
4436 * amount of injected I/O, from the waker queue or
4437 * other queues, that the second alternative
4438 * guarantees (the second alternative unconditionally
4439 * injects a pending I/O request of the waker queue
4440 * for each bfq_dispatch_request()). Second, with the
4441 * third alternative, the duration of the plugging,
4442 * i.e., the time before bfqq finally receives new I/O,
4443 * may not be minimized, because the waker queue may
4444 * happen to be served only after other queues.

5213 * short or long (details in the comments in
5214 * bfq_update_inject_limit()). Accordingly, the next
5215 * instructions reset the inject limit if the think-time state
5216 * has changed and the above base value is still to be
5219 * However, the reset is performed only if more than 100 ms
5220 * have elapsed since the last update of the inject limit, or
5221 * (inclusive) if the change is from short to long think
5222 * time. The reason for this waiting is as follows.
5224 * bfqq may have a long think time because of a
5225 * synchronization with some other queue, i.e., because the
5226 * I/O of some other queue may need to be completed for bfqq
5227 * to receive new I/O. Details in the comments on the choice
5228 * of the queue for injection in bfq_select_queue().
5230 * As stressed in those comments, if such a synchronization is
5231 * actually in place, then, without injection on bfqq, the
5232 * blocking I/O cannot happen to served while bfqq is in
5233 * service. As a consequence, if bfqq is granted
5234 * I/O-dispatch-plugging, then bfqq remains empty, and no I/O
5235 * is dispatched, until the idle timeout fires. This is likely
5236 * to result in lower bandwidth and higher latencies for bfqq,
5237 * and in a severe loss of total throughput.
5239 * On the opposite end, a non-zero inject limit may allow the
5240 * I/O that blocks bfqq to be executed soon, and therefore
5241 * bfqq to receive new I/O soon.
5243 * But, if the blocking gets actually eliminated, then the
5244 * next think-time sample for bfqq may be very low. This in
5245 * turn may cause bfqq's think time to be deemed
5246 * short. Without the 100 ms barrier, this new state change
5247 * would cause the body of the next if to be executed
5248 * immediately. But this would set to 0 the inject
5249 * limit. Without injection, the blocking I/O would cause the
5250 * think time of bfqq to become long again, and therefore the
5251 * inject limit to be raised again, and so on. The only effect
5252 * of such a steady oscillation between the two think-time
5253 * states would be to prevent effective injection on bfqq.
5255 * In contrast, if the inject limit is not reset during such a
5256 * long time interval as 100 ms, then the number of short
5257 * think time samples can grow significantly before the reset
5258 * is performed. As a consequence, the think time state can
5259 * become stable before the reset. Therefore there will be no
5260 * state change when the 100 ms elapse, and no reset of the
5261 * inject limit. The inject limit remains steadily equal to 1
5262 * both during and after the 100 ms. So injection can be
5263 * performed at all times, and throughput gets boosted.
5265 * An inject limit equal to 1 is however in conflict, in
5266 * general, with the fact that the think time of bfqq is
5267 * short, because injection may be likely to delay bfqq's I/O
5268 * (as explained in the comments in
5269 * bfq_update_inject_limit()). But this does not happen in
5270 * this special case, because bfqq's low think time is due to
5271 * an effective handling of a synchronization, through
5272 * injection. In this special case, bfqq's I/O does not get
5273 * delayed by injection; on the contrary, bfqq's I/O is
5274 * brought forward, because it is not blocked for
5277 * In addition, serving the blocking I/O much sooner, and much
5278 * more frequently than once per I/O-plugging timeout, makes
5279 * it much quicker to detect a waker queue (the concept of
5280 * waker queue is defined in the comments in
5281 * bfq_add_request()). This makes it possible to start sooner
5282 * to boost throughput more effectively, by injecting the I/O
5283 * of the waker queue unconditionally on every
5284 * bfq_dispatch_request().
5286 * One last, important benefit of not resetting the inject
5287 * limit before 100 ms is that, during this time interval, the
5288 * base value for the total service time is likely to get
5289 * finally computed for bfqq, freeing the inject limit from
5290 * its relation with the think time.

5680 * could serve the same I/O. This is rather probable, e.g., if only
5681 * one process is associated with bfqq and the device is an SSD. It
5682 * results in bfqq becoming often empty while in service. In this
5683 * respect, if BFQ is allowed to switch to another queue when bfqq
5684 * remains empty, then the device goes on being fed with I/O requests,
5685 * and the throughput is not affected. In contrast, if BFQ is not
5686 * allowed to switch to another queue---because bfqq is sync and
5687 * I/O-dispatch needs to be plugged while bfqq is temporarily
5688 * empty---then, during the service of bfqq, there will be frequent
5689 * "service holes", i.e., time intervals during which bfqq gets empty
5690 * and the device can only consume the I/O already queued in its
5691 * hardware queues. During service holes, the device may even get to
5692 * remaining idle. In the end, during the service of bfqq, the device
5693 * is driven at a lower speed than the one it can reach with the kind
5694 * of I/O flowing through bfqq.
5696 * To counter this loss of throughput, BFQ implements a "request
5697 * injection mechanism", which tries to fill the above service holes
5698 * with I/O requests taken from other queues. The hard part in this
5699 * mechanism is finding the right amount of I/O to inject, so as to
5700 * both boost throughput and not break bfqq's bandwidth and latency
5701 * guarantees. In this respect, the mechanism maintains a per-queue
5702 * inject limit, computed as below. While bfqq is empty, the injection
5703 * mechanism dispatches extra I/O requests only until the total number
5704 * of I/O requests in flight---i.e., already dispatched but not yet
5705 * completed---remains lower than this limit.
5707 * A first definition comes in handy to introduce the algorithm by
5708 * which the inject limit is computed. We define as first request for
5709 * bfqq, an I/O request for bfqq that arrives while bfqq is in
5710 * service, and causes bfqq to switch from empty to non-empty. The
5711 * algorithm updates the limit as a function of the effect of
5712 * injection on the service times of only the first requests of
5713 * bfqq. The reason for this restriction is that these are the
5714 * requests whose service time is affected most, because they are the
5715 * first to arrive after injection possibly occurred.
5717 * To evaluate the effect of injection, the algorithm measures the
5718 * "total service time" of first requests. We define as total service
5719 * time of an I/O request, the time that elapses since when the
5720 * request is enqueued into bfqq, to when it is completed. This
5721 * quantity allows the whole effect of injection to be measured. It is
5722 * easy to see why. Suppose that some requests of other queues are
5723 * actually injected while bfqq is empty, and that a new request R
5724 * then arrives for bfqq. If the device does start to serve all or
5725 * part of the injected requests during the service hole, then,
5726 * because of this extra service, it may delay the next invocation of
5727 * the dispatch hook of BFQ. Then, even after R gets eventually
5728 * dispatched, the device may delay the actual service of R if it is
5729 * still busy serving the extra requests, or if it decides to serve,
5730 * before R, some extra request still present in its queues. As a
5731 * conclusion, the cumulative extra delay caused by injection can be
5732 * easily evaluated by just comparing the total service time of first
5733 * requests with and without injection.
5735 * The limit-update algorithm works as follows. On the arrival of a
5736 * first request of bfqq, the algorithm measures the total time of the
5737 * request only if one of the three cases below holds, and, for each
5738 * case, it updates the limit as described below:
5740 * (1) If there is no in-flight request. This gives a baseline for the
5741 * total service time of the requests of bfqq. If the baseline has
5742 * not been computed yet, then, after computing it, the limit is
5743 * set to 1, to start boosting throughput, and to prepare the
5744 * ground for the next case. If the baseline has already been
5745 * computed, then it is updated, in case it results to be lower
5746 * than the previous value.
5748 * (2) If the limit is higher than 0 and there are in-flight
5749 * requests. By comparing the total service time in this case with
5750 * the above baseline, it is possible to know at which extent the
5751 * current value of the limit is inflating the total service
5752 * time. If the inflation is below a certain threshold, then bfqq
5753 * is assumed to be suffering from no perceivable loss of its
5754 * service guarantees, and the limit is even tentatively
5755 * increased. If the inflation is above the threshold, then the
5756 * limit is decreased. Due to the lack of any hysteresis, this
5757 * logic makes the limit oscillate even in steady workload
5758 * conditions. Yet we opted for it, because it is fast in reaching
5759 * the best value for the limit, as a function of the current I/O
5760 * workload. To reduce oscillations, this step is disabled for a
5761 * short time interval after the limit happens to be decreased.
5763 * (3) Periodically, after resetting the limit, to make sure that the
5764 * limit eventually drops in case the workload changes. This is
5765 * needed because, after the limit has gone safely up for a
5766 * certain workload, it is impossible to guess whether the
5767 * baseline total service time may have changed, without measuring
5768 * it again without injection. A more effective version of this
5769 * step might be to just sample the baseline, by interrupting
5770 * injection only once, and then to reset/lower the limit only if
5771 * the total service time with the current limit does happen to be
5774 * More details on each step are provided in the comments on the
5775 * pieces of code that implement these steps: the branch handling the
5776 * transition from empty to non empty in bfq_add_request(), the branch
5777 * handling injection in bfq_select_queue(), and the function
5778 * bfq_choose_bfqq_for_injection(). These comments also explain some
5779 * exceptions, made by the injection mechanism in some special cases.

6049 * incremented some queue counters for an rq destined to
6050 * transformation, without any chance to correctly lower these
6051 * counters back. In contrast, no transformation can still happen for
6052 * rq after rq has been inserted or merged. So, it is safe to execute
