* cfq-iosched: make io priorities inherit CPU scheduling class as well as niceJens Axboe2008-05-071-0/+14
| | | | | | | | We currently set all processes to the best-effort scheduling class, regardless of what CPU scheduling class they belong to. Improve that so that we correctly track idle and rt scheduling classes as well. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com>
* ioprio: move io priority from task_struct to io_contextJens Axboe2008-01-281-6/+7
| | | | | | | This is where it belongs and then it doesn't take up space for a process that doesn't do IO. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com>
* cfq: async queue allocation per priorityVasily Tarasov2007-07-201-0/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | | If we have two processes with different ioprio_class, but the same ioprio_data, their async requests will fall into the same queue. I guess such behavior is not expected, because it's not right to put real-time requests and best-effort requests in the same queue. The attached patch fixes the problem by introducing additional *cfqq fields on cfqd, pointing to per-(class,priority) async queues. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com>
* cfq-iosched: fix async queue behaviourJens Axboe2007-07-101-2/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | With the cfq_queue hash removal, we inadvertently got rid of the async queue sharing. This was not intentional, in fact CFQ purposely shares the async queue per priority level to get good merging for async writes. So put some logic in cfq_get_queue() to track the shared queues.

* [PATCH] move ioprio syscalls into syscalls.hAnton Blanchard2005-07-071-3/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | - Make ioprio syscalls return long, like set/getpriority syscalls. - Move function prototypes into syscalls.h so we can pick them up in the 32/64bit compat code.

* [PATCH] CFQ io scheduler updatesJens Axboe2005-06-271-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | - Adjust slice values - Instead of one async queue, one is defined per priority level. This prevents kernel threads (such as reiserfs/x and others) that run at higher io priority from conflicting with others. Previously, it was a coin toss what io prio the async queue got, it was defined by who first set up the queue. - Let a time slice only begin, when the previous slice is completely done. Previously we could be somewhat unfair to a new sync slice, if the previous slice was async and had several ios queued. This might need a little tweaking if throughput suffers a little due to this, allowing perhaps an overlap of a single request or so. - Optimize the calling of kblockd_schedule_work() by doing it only when it is strictly necessary (no requests in driver and work left to do). - Correct sync vs async logic. A 'normal' process can be purely async as well, and a flusher can be purely sync as well. Sync or async is now a property of the class defined and requests pending. Previously writers could be considered sync, when they were really async. - Get rid of the bit fields in cfqq and crq, use flags instead. - Various other cleanups and fixes Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
* [PATCH] Update cfq io scheduler to time sliced designJens Axboe2005-06-271-0/+87
This updates the CFQ io scheduler to the new time sliced design (cfq v3). It provides full process fairness, while giving excellent aggregate system throughput even for many competing processes. It supports io priorities, either inherited from the cpu nice value or set directly with the ioprio_get/set syscalls. The latter closely mimic set/getpriority. This import is based on my latest from -mm. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
