To check + the default value, see the activated table. + <relative_throughput>: The relative throughput value of the path + among all paths in the path-group. + The valid range is 0-100. + If not given, minimum value '1' is used. + If '0' is given, the path isn't selected while + other paths having a positive value are available. + +Status for each path: <status> <fail-count> <in-flight-size> \ + <relative_throughput> + <status>: 'A' if the path is active, 'F' if the path is failed. + <fail-count>: The number of path failures. + <in-flight-size>: The size of in-flight I/Os on the path. + <relative_throughput>: The relative throughput value of the path + among all paths in the path-group. + + +Algorithm +========= + +dm-service-time adds the I/O size to 'in-flight-size' when the I/O is +dispatched and substracts when completed. +Basically, dm-service-time selects a path having minimum service time +which is calculated by: + + ('in-flight-size' + 'size-of-incoming-io') / 'relative_throughput' + +However, some optimizations below are used to reduce the calculation +as much as possible. + + 1. If the paths have the same 'relative_throughput', skip + the division and just compare the 'in-flight-size'. + + 2. If the paths have the same 'in-flight-size', skip the division + and just compare the 'relative_throughput'. + + 3. If some paths have non-zero 'relative_throughput' and others + have zero 'relative_throughput', ignore those paths with zero + 'relative_throughput'. + +If such optimizations can't be applied, calculate service time, and +compare service time. +If calculated service time is equal, the path having maximum +'relative_throughput' may be better. So compare 'relative_throughput' +then. + + +Examples +======== +In case that 2 paths (sda and sdb) are used with repeat_count == 128 +and sda has an average throughput 1GB/s and sdb has 4GB/s, +'relative_throughput' value may be '1' for sda and '4' for sdb. + +# echo "0 10 multipath 0 0 1 1 service-time 0 2 2 8:0 128 1 8:16 128 4" \ + dmsetup create test +# +# dmsetup table +test: 0 10 multipath 0 0 1 1 service-time 0 2 2 8:0 128 1 8:16 128 4 +# +# dmsetup status +test: 0 10 multipath 2 0 0 0 1 1 E 0 2 2 8:0 A 0 0 1 8:16 A 0 0 4 + + +Or '2' for sda and '8' for sdb would be also true. + +# echo "0 10 multipath 0 0 1 1 service-time 0 2 2 8:0 128 2 8:16 128 8" \ + dmsetup create test +# +# dmsetup table +test: 0 10 multipath 0 0 1 1 service-time 0 2 2 8:0 128 2 8:16 128 8 +# +# dmsetup status +test: 0 10 multipath 2 0 0 0 1 1 E 0 2 2 8:0 A 0 0 2 8:16 A 0 0 8 diff --git a/drivers/md/Kconfig b/drivers/md/Kconfig index 3b311d2..09f93fa 100644 --- a/drivers/md/Kconfig +++ b/drivers/md/Kconfig @@ -258,6 +258,16 @@ config DM_MULTIPATH_QL If unsure, say N. +config DM_MULTIPATH_ST + tristate "I/O Path Selector based on the service time" + depends on DM_MULTIPATH + ---help--- + This path selector is a dynamic load balancer which selects + the path expected to complete the incoming I/O in the shortest + time. + + If unsure, say N. + config DM_DELAY tristate "I/O delaying target (EXPERIMENTAL)" depends on BLK_DEV_DM && EXPERIMENTAL diff --git a/drivers/md/Makefile b/drivers/md/Makefile index ff9f545..dade52f 100644 --- a/drivers/md/Makefile +++ b/drivers/md/Makefile @@ -37,6 +37,7 @@ obj-$(CONFIG_DM_CRYPT) += dm-crypt.o obj-$(CONFIG_DM_DELAY) += dm-delay.o obj-$(CONFIG_DM_MULTIPATH) += dm-multipath.o dm-round-robin.o obj-$(CONFIG_DM_MULTIPATH_QL) += dm-queue-length.o +obj-$(CONFIG_DM_MULTIPATH_ST) += dm-service-time.o obj-$(CONFIG_DM_SNAPSHOT) += dm-snapshot.o obj-$(CONFIG_DM_MIRROR) += dm-mirror.o dm-log.o dm-region-hash.o obj-$(CONFIG_DM_ZERO) += dm-zero.o diff --git a/drivers/md/dm-service-time.c b/drivers/md/dm-service-time.c new file mode 100644 index 0000000..cfa668f --- /dev/null +++ b/drivers/md/dm-service-time.c @@ -0,0 +1,339 @@ +/* + * Copyright (C) 2007-2009 NEC Corporation.
