* blk-wbt: allow wbt to be enabled always through sysfsJens Axboe2016-11-281-0/+11
| | | | | | | | | | | Currently there's no way to enable wbt if it's not enabled in the kernel config by default for a device. Allow a write to the 'wbt_lat_usec' queue sysfs file to enable wbt. This is useful for both the kernel config case, but also if the device is CFQ managed and it was turned off by default. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@fb.com>
* blk-wbt: cleanup disable-by-default for CFQJens Axboe2016-11-281-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | Make it clear that we are disabling wbt for the specified queued, if it was enabled by default. This is in preparation for allowing users to re-enable wbt, and not have it disabled automatically again. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@fb.com>
* blk-wbt: allow reset of default latency through sysfsJens Axboe2016-11-281-0/+6
| | | | | | | | Allow a write of '-1' to reset the default latency target for a given device. This removes knowledge of the different default settings for rotational vs non-rotational from user space. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@fb.com>
* blk-wbt: remove stat opsJens Axboe2016-11-111-11/+2
| | | | | | | Again a leftover from when the throttling code was generic. Now that we just have the block user, get rid of the stat ops and indirections. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@fb.com>
* blk-wbt: store queue instead of bdiJens Axboe2016-11-111-3/+1
| | | | | | | The bdi was a leftover from when the code was block layer agnostic. Now that we just support a block layer user, store the queue directly. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@fb.com>
* blk-wbt: add general throttling mechanismJens Axboe2016-11-101-0/+165
We can hook this up to the block layer, to help throttle buffered writes. wbt registers a few trace points that can be used to track what is happening in the system: wbt_lat: 259:0: latency 2446318 wbt_stat: 259:0: rmean=2446318, rmin=2446318, rmax=2446318, rsamples=1, wmean=518866, wmin=15522, wmax=5330353, wsamples=57 wbt_step: 259:0: step down: step=1, window=72727272, background=8, normal=16, max=32 This shows a sync issue event (wbt_lat) that exceeded it's time. wbt_stat dumps the current read/write stats for that window, and wbt_step shows a step down event where we now scale back writes. Each trace includes the device, 259:0 in this case. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@fb.com>
