[PATCH] blk-iocost: fix false positive lagging
From: Chengming Zhou
Date: Thu May 26 2022 - 09:36:17 EST
I found many false positive lagging during iocost test.
Since iocg->vtime will be advanced to (vnow - margins.target)
in hweight_after_donation(), which called throw away excess,
the iocg->done_vtime will also be advanced that much.
period_at_vtime <--period_vtime--> vnow
| |
--------------------------------------------------->
|<--->|
margins.target
|->
vtime, done_vtime
If that iocg has some inflight io when vnow, but its done_vtime
is before period_at_vtime, ioc_timer_fn() will think it has
lagging io, even these io maybe issued just before now.
This patch change the condition to check if vdone is before
(period_at_vtime - margins.target) instead of period_at_vtime.
But there is another problem that this patch doesn't fix.
Since vtime will be advanced, we can't check if vtime is
after (vnow - MAX_LAGGING_PERIODS * period_vtime) to tell
whether this iocg pin lagging for too long.
Maybe we can add lagging_periods in iocg to record how many
periods this iocg pin lagging, but I don't know when to clean it.
