I re-ran the same RocksDB testing I did for v4 on this patch series. Same results. Tested-by: Hans Holmberg <hans.holmberg@wdc.com> Setup ----- Workloads: filluniquerandom followed by three iterations of overwrites, readrandom, fwdrange, revrange and varieties of readwhilewriting, Config: Direct IO, 400M key/values Userspace: db_bench / RocksDB 7.7.3, using ZenFS with libzbd as backend IO Scheduler: [none] NVMe ZNS drive: 1 TB ZNS drive with 2GB zone size, 14 max open and active zones. System: 16-cores (AMD Epyc 7302P) with 128 GB of DRAM Results: -------- iostat: 33.6T read, 6.5T written. No errors/failures. Comparing performance with the baseline requiring [mq-deadline] to avoid write reordering, we can see a ~8-10% throughput improvement for read heavy workloads. No regressions seen for these workloads, db_bench write throughput and read and write tail latencies look unaffected. > Changes from v4: > - Modified patch 7 to: > - Fix a compilation warning > - Integrate disk_lookup_zone_wplug() into disk_get_zone_wplug() so > that all users of a zone write plug do a get+put when referencing > the plug. > - Introduced inline functions blk_zone_write_complete_request() and > blk_zone_write_bio_endio() to integrate the "if (plugging)" test > and avoid repeating it for all calls. > - Added review tags > > Changes from v3: > - Rebase on block/for-next > - Removed old patch 1 as it is already applied > - Addressed Bart and Christoph comment in patch 4 > - Merged former patch 8 and 9 together and changed the zone write plug > allocation to use a mempool > - Removed the zone_wplugs_mempool_size filed from patch 8 and instead > directly reference mempool->min_nr > - Added review tags > > Changes from v2: > - Added Patch 1 (Christoph's comment) > - Fixed error code setup in Patch 3 (Bart's comment) > - Split former patch 26 into patches 27 and 28 > - Modified patch 8 (zone write plugging) introduction to remove the > kmem_cache use and address Bart's and Christoph comments. > - Changed from using a mempool of zone write plugs to using a simple > free-list (patch 9) > - Simplified patch 10 as suggested by Christoph > - Moved common code to a helper in patch 13 as suggested by Christoph > > Changes from v1: > - Added patch 6 > - Rewrite of patch 7 to use a hash table of dynamically allocated zone > write plugs.

The patch series introduces zone write plugging (ZWP) as the new mechanism to control the ordering of writes to zoned block devices. ZWP replaces zone write locking (ZWL) which is implemented only by mq-deadline today. ZWP also allows emulating zone append operations using regular writes for zoned devices that do not natively support this operation (e.g. SMR HDDs). This patch series removes the scsi disk driver and device mapper zone append emulation to use ZWP emulation. Unlike ZWL which operates on requests, ZWP operates on BIOs. A zone write plug is simply a BIO list that is atomically manipulated using a spinlock and a kblockd submission work. A write BIO to a zone is "plugged" to delay its execution if a write BIO for the same zone was already issued, that is, if a write request for the same zone is being executed. The next plugged BIO is unplugged and issued once the write request completes. This mechanism allows to: - Untangle zone write ordering from the block IO schedulers. This allows removing the restriction on using only mq-deadline for zoned block devices. Any block IO scheduler, including "none" can be used. - Zone write plugging operates on BIOs instead of requests. Plugged BIOs waiting for execution thus do not hold scheduling tags and thus do not prevent other BIOs from being submitted to the device (reads or writes to other zones). Depending on the workload, this can significantly improve the device use and the performance. - Both blk-mq (request) based zoned devices and BIO-based devices (e.g. device mapper) can use ZWP. It is mandatory for the former but optional for the latter: BIO-based driver can use zone write plugging to implement write ordering guarantees, or the drivers can implement their own if needed. - The code is less invasive in the block layer and in device drivers. ZWP implementation is mostly limited to blk-zoned.c, with some small changes in blk-mq.c, blk-merge.c and bio.c. Performance evaluation results are shown below. The series is based on block/for-next and organized as follows: - Patch 1 to 6 are preparatory changes for patch 7. - Patch 7 and 8 introduce ZWP - Patch 9 and 10 add zone append emulation to ZWP. - Patch 11 to 18 modify zoned block device drivers to use ZWP and prepare for the removal of ZWL. - Patch 19 to 28 remove zone write locking Overall, these changes do not significantly increase the amount of code (the higher number of addition shown by diff-stat is in fact due to a larger amount of comments in the code). Many thanks must go to Christoph Hellwig for comments and suggestions he provided on earlier versions of these patches. Performance evaluation results ============================== Environments: - Intel Xeon 16-cores/32-threads, 128GB of RAM - Kernel: - ZWL (baseline): block/for-next (based on 6.9.0-rc2) - ZWP: block/for-next patched kernel to add zone write plugging (both kernels were compiled with the same configuration turning off most heavy debug features) Workoads: - seqw4K1: 4KB sequential write, qd=1 - seqw4K16: 4KB sequential write, qd=16 - seqw1M16: 1MB sequential write, qd=16 - rndw4K16: 4KB random write, qd=16 - rndw128K16: 128KB random write, qd=16 - btrfs workoad: Single fio job writing 128 MB files using 128 KB direct IOs at qd=16. Devices: - nullblk (zoned): 4096 zones of 256 MB, 128 max open zones. - NVMe ZNS drive: 1 TB ZNS drive with 2GB zone size, 14 max open and active zones. - SMR HDD: 20 TB disk with 256MB zone size, 128 max open zones. For ZWP, the result show the performance percentage increase (or decrease) against ZWL (baseline) case. 1) null_blk zoned device: +--------+--------+-------+--------+---------+---------+ |seqw4K1 |seqw4K16|seqw1M1|seqw1M16|rndw4K16|rndw128K16| |(MB/s) | (MB/s) |(MB/s) | (MB/s) | (KIOPS)| (KIOPS) | +-----------+--------+--------+-------+--------+--------+----------+ | ZWL | 940 | 840 | 18550 | 14400 | 424 | 167 | |mq-deadline| | | | | | | +-----------+--------+--------+-------+--------+--------+----------+ | ZWP | 943 | 845 | 18660 | 14770 | 461 | 165 | |mq-deadline| (+0%) | (+0%) | (+0%) | (+1%) | (+8%) | (-1%) | +-----------+--------+--------+-------+--------+--------+----------+ | ZWP | 756 | 668 | 16020 | 12980 | 135 | 101 | | bfq | (-19%) | (-20%) | (-13%)| (-9%) | (-68%) | (-39%) | +-----------+--------+--------+-------+--------+--------+----------+ | ZWP | 2639 | 1715 | 28190 | 19760 | 344 | 150 | | none | (+180%)| (+104%)| (+51%)| (+37%) | (-18%) | (-10%) | +-----------+--------+--------+-------+--------+--------+----------+ ZWP with mq-deadline gives performance very similar to zone write locking, showing that zone write plugging overhead is acceptable.

This results in changes in patch 11 and the addition of patch 8 and 9. - Rebased everything on 6.9.0-rc1 - Added review tags for patches that did not change Damien Le Moal (28): block: Restore sector of flush requests block: Remove req_bio_endio() block: Introduce blk_zone_update_request_bio() block: Introduce bio_straddles_zones() and bio_offset_from_zone_start() block: Allow using bio_attempt_back_merge() internally block: Remember zone capacity when revalidating zones block: Introduce zone write plugging block: Fake max open zones limit when there is no limit block: Allow zero value of max_zone_append_sectors queue limit block: Implement zone append emulation block: Allow BIO-based drivers to use blk_revalidate_disk_zones() dm: Use the block layer zone append emulation scsi: sd: Use the block layer zone append emulation ublk_drv: Do not request ELEVATOR_F_ZBD_SEQ_WRITE elevator feature null_blk: Do not request ELEVATOR_F_ZBD_SEQ_WRITE elevator feature null_blk: Introduce zone_append_max_sectors attribute null_blk: Introduce fua attribute nvmet: zns: Do not reference the gendisk conv_zones_bitmap block: Remove BLK_STS_ZONE_RESOURCE block: Simplify blk_revalidate_disk_zones() interface block: mq-deadline: Remove support for zone write locking block: Remove elevator required features block: Do not check zone type in blk_check_zone_append() block: Move zone related debugfs attribute to blk-zoned.c block: Replace zone_wlock debugfs entry with zone_wplugs entry block: Remove zone write locking block: Do not force select mq-deadline with CONFIG_BLK_DEV_ZONED block: Do not special-case plugging of zone write operations block/Kconfig | 5 - block/Makefile | 1 - block/bio.c | 6 + block/blk-core.c | 11 +- block/blk-flush.c | 1 + block/blk-merge.c | 22 +- block/blk-mq-debugfs-zoned.c | 22 - block/blk-mq-debugfs.c | 3 +- block/blk-mq-debugfs.h | 6 +- block/blk-mq.c | 125 ++- block/blk-mq.h | 31 - block/blk-settings.c | 46 +- block/blk-sysfs.c | 2 +- block/blk-zoned.c | 1336 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++-- block/blk.h | 80 +- block/elevator.c | 46 +- block/elevator.h | 1 - block/genhd.c | 3 +- block/mq-deadline.c | 176 +--- drivers/block/null_blk/main.c | 22 +- drivers/block/null_blk/null_blk.h | 2 + drivers/block/null_blk/zoned.c | 23 +- drivers/block/ublk_drv.c | 5 +- drivers/block/virtio_blk.c | 2 +- drivers/md/dm-core.h | 2 +- drivers/md/dm-zone.c | 476 +--------- drivers/md/dm.c | 75 +- drivers/md/dm.h | 4 +- drivers/nvme/host/core.c | 2 +- drivers/nvme/target/zns.c | 10 +- drivers/scsi/scsi_lib.c | 1 - drivers/scsi/sd.c | 8 - drivers/scsi/sd.h | 19 - drivers/scsi/sd_zbc.c | 335 +------- include/linux/blk-mq.h | 85 +- include/linux/blk_types.h | 30 +- include/linux/blkdev.h | 103 ++- 37 files changed, 1663 insertions(+), 1464 deletions(-) delete mode 100644 block/blk-mq-debugfs-zoned.c
