From: Zhi Yong Wu <wuzhy@linux.vnet.ibm.com>
NOTE:
The patchset is currently post out mainly to make sure
it is going in the correct direction and hope to get some
helpful comments from other guys.
For more infomation, please check hot_tracking.txt in Documentation
TODO List:
1.) Need to do scalability or performance tests.
2.) Turn some Micro into be tunable
TIME_TO_KICK, and HEAT_UPDATE_DELAY
3.) Rafactor hot_hash_is_aging()
If you just made the timeout value a timespec and compared
the _timespecs_, you would be doing a lot fewer conversions.
4.) Cleanup some unnecessary lock protect
5.) Add more comments to explain how to calc temperature
How to "read" the avg read/write time (nanoseconds,
microseconds, jiffies....??)
6.) Make updating tempreture more parallel
7.) How to save the file tempreture among the umount to be able to
preserve the file tempreture after reboot
8.) Add one new ioctl inteface to set temperature value.
Ben Chociej, Matt Lupfer and Conor Scott originally wrote this code to
be very btrfs-specific. I''ve taken their code and attempted to
make it more generic and integrate it at the VFS level.
Changelog from v1:
1.) Reduce new files and put all in fs/hot_tracking.[ch] [Dave Chinner]
2.) The first three patches can probably just be flattened into one.
[Marco Stornelli , Dave Chinner]

[RFC v2 01/10] vfs: introduce private rb structures
From: Zhi Yong Wu <wuzhy@linux.vnet.ibm.com>
One root structure hot_info is defined, is hooked
up in super_block, and will be used to hold rb trees
root, hash list root and some other information, etc.
Adds hot_inode_tree struct to keep track of
frequently accessed files, and be keyed by {inode, offset}.
Trees contain hot_inode_items representing those files
and ranges.
Having these trees means that vfs can quickly determine the
temperature of some data by doing some calculations on the
hot_freq_data struct that hangs off of the tree item.
Define two items hot_inode_item and hot_range_item,
one of them represents one tracked file
to keep track of its access frequency and the tree of
ranges in this file, while the latter represents
a file range of one inode.
Each of the two structures contains a hot_freq_data
struct with its frequency of access metrics (number of
{reads, writes}, last {read,write} time, frequency of
{reads,writes}).
Also, each hot_inode_item contains one hot_range_tree
struct which is keyed by {inode, offset, length}
and used to keep track of all the ranges in this file.

[RFC v2 03/10] vfs: add one new mount option ''-o hottrack''
From: Zhi Yong Wu <wuzhy@linux.vnet.ibm.com>
Introduce one new mount option ''-o hottrack'',
and add its parsing support.
Its usage looks like:
mount -o hottrack
mount -o nouser,hottrack
mount -o nouser,hottrack,loop
mount -o hottrack,nouser

[RFC v2 07/10] vfs: fork one kthread to update data temperature
From: Zhi Yong Wu <wuzhy@linux.vnet.ibm.com>
Fork and run one kernel kthread to calculate
that temperature based on some metrics kept
in custom frequency data structs, and store
the info in the hash table.
Signed-off-by: Zhi Yong Wu <wuzhy@linux.vnet.ibm.com>

From: Zhi Yong Wu <wuzhy@linux.vnet.ibm.com>
FS_IOC_GET_HEAT_INFO: return a struct containing the various
metrics collected in btrfs_freq_data structs, and also return a
calculated data temperature based on those metrics. Optionally, retrieve
the temperature from the hot data hash list instead of recalculating it.
FS_IOC_GET_HEAT_OPTS: return an integer representing the current
state of hot data tracking and migration:
0 = do nothing
1 = track frequency of access
FS_IOC_SET_HEAT_OPTS: change the state of hot data tracking and
migration, as described above.

From: Zhi Yong Wu <wuzhy@linux.vnet.ibm.com>
Add a /sys/kernel/debug/hot_track/<device_name>/ directory for each
volume that contains two files. The first, `inode_data'', contains the
heat information for inodes that have been brought into the hot data map
structures. The second, `range_data'', contains similar information for
subfile ranges.

Essentially, this means maintaining some key +stats(like number of reads/writes, last read/write time, frequency of +reads/writes), then distilling those numbers down to a single +"temperature" value that reflects what data is "hot," and using that +temperature to move data to SSDs. + + The long-term goal of the feature is to allow some FSs, +e.g. Btrfs to intelligently utilize SSDs in a heterogenous volume. +Incidentally, this project has been motivated by +the Project Ideas page on the Btrfs wiki. + + Of course, users are warned not to run this code outside of development +environments. These patches are EXPERIMENTAL, and as such they might eat +your data and/or memory. That said, the code should be relatively safe +when the hottrack mount option are disabled. + +Motivation +------------------------------------------------------------------------------- + + The overall goal of enabling hot data relocation to SSD has been +motivated by the Project Ideas page on the Btrfs wiki at +<https://btrfs.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Project_ideas>. +It will divide into two steps. VFS provide hot data tracking function +while specific FS will provide hot data relocation function. +So as the first step of this goal, it is hoped that the patchset +for hot data tracking will eventually mature into VFS. + + This is essentially the traditional cache argument: SSD is fast and +expensive; HDD is cheap but slow. ZFS, for example, can already take +advantage of SSD caching. Btrfs should also be able to take advantage of +hybrid storage without many broad, sweeping changes to existing code. + +Main Parts Description +------------------------------------------------------------------------------- + +These include the following parts: + * Hooks in existing vfs functions to track data access frequency + * New rbtrees for tracking access frequency of inodes and sub-file +ranges (hot_rb.c) + The relationship between super_block and rbtree is as below: +super_block->s_hotinfo.hot_inode_tree + In include/linux/fs.h, one struct hot_info s_hotinfo is added to +super_block struct. Each FS instance can find hot tracking info +s_hotinfo via its super_block. In this hot_info, it store a lot of hot +tracking info such as hot_inode_tree, inode and range hash list, etc. + * A hash list for indexing data by its temperature (hot_hash.c) + * A debugfs interface for dumping data from the rbtrees (hot_debugfs.c) + * A background kthread for updating inode heat info + * Mount options for enabling temperature tracking(-o hottrack, +default mean disabled) (hot_track.c) + * An ioctl to retrieve the frequency information collected for a certain +file + * Ioctls to enable/disable frequency tracking per inode. + +Git Development Tree +------------------------------------------------------------------------------- + + The feature is still on development and review, so if you''re interested, +you can pull from the git repository at the following location: + https://github.com/wuzhy/kernel.git hot_tracking + git://github.com/wuzhy/kernel.git hot_tracking + +Usage Example +------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +To use hot tracking, you should mount like this: + +$ mount -o hottrack /dev/sdb /mnt +[ 1505.894078] device label test devid 1 transid 29 /dev/sdb +[ 1505.952977] btrfs: disk space caching is enabled +[ 1506.069678] vfs: turning on hot data tracking + +Mount debugfs at first: + +$ mount -t debugfs none /sys/kernel/debug +$ ls -l /sys/kernel/debug/vfs_hotdata/ +total 0 +drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 0 Aug 8 04:40 sdb +$ ls -l /sys/kernel/debug/vfs_hotdata/sdb +total 0 +-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Aug 8 04:40 inode_data +-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Aug 8 04:40 range_data + +View information about hot tracking from debugfs: + +$ echo "hot tracking test" > /mnt/file +$ cat /sys/kernel/debug/hot_track/sdb/inode_data +inode #279, reads 0, writes 1, avg read time 18446744073709551615, +avg write time 5251566408153596, temp 109 +$ cat /sys/kernel/debug/hot_track/sdb/range_data +inode #279, range start 0 (range len 1048576) reads 0, writes 1, +avg read time 18446744073709551615, avg write time 1128690176623144209, temp 64 + +$ echo "hot data tracking test" >> /mnt/file +$ cat /sys/kernel/debug/hot_track/sdb/inode_data +inode #279, reads 0, writes 2, avg read time 18446744073709551615, +avg write time 4923343766042451, temp 109 +$ cat /sys/kernel/debug/hot_track/sdb/range_data +inode #279, range start 0 (range len 1048576) reads 0, writes 2, +avg read time 18446744073709551615, avg write time 1058147040842596150, temp 64 + -- 1.7.6.5

Why use an rb-tree then? Wouldn''t a btree be a more memory efficient way to hold a sparse index that has fixed key and pointer sizes? Also, the API seems quite strange. you pass in the the rb_node and the inode number which instead of passing in the hot inode item that already holds this information. You then convert the rb_node back to a hot inode item to set the in_tree variable. So why not just pass in the struct hot_inode_item in the first place?> +static u64 hot_rb_range_end(struct hot_range_item *hr)hot_range_item_end()> +{ > + if (hr->start + hr->len < hr->start) > + return (u64)-1; > + > + return hr->start + hr->len - 1; > +} > + > +static struct rb_node *hot_rb_insert_hot_range_item(struct rb_root *root,hot_range_item_find()> + u64 start, > + struct rb_node *node) > +{ > + struct rb_node **p = &root->rb_node; > + struct rb_node *parent = NULL; > + struct hot_range_item *entry; > + > + /* ensure start is on a range boundary */ > + start = start & RANGE_SIZE_MASK; > + /* walk tree to find insertion point */ > + while (*p) { > + parent = *p; > + entry = rb_entry(parent, struct hot_range_item, rb_node); > + > + if (start < entry->start) > + p = &(*p)->rb_left; > + else if (start >= hot_rb_range_end(entry))Shouldn''t an aligned end always be one byte short of the start offset of the next aligned region? i.e. start =hot_rb_range_end(entry) is an indication of an off-by one bug somewhere?> + p = &(*p)->rb_right; > + else > + return parent; > + } > + > + entry = rb_entry(node, struct hot_range_item, rb_node); > + entry->in_tree = 1; > + rb_link_node(node, parent, p); > + rb_insert_color(node, root);Same comments as the hot_inode_range.

You could combine the two into a single function - the lookup simply passes a NULL rb_node parameter.

You can''t avoid this race if you are using an rwlock, so you have to handle it. As it is, I suspect the use of a rwlock here is premature optimisation - if there are any amount of inserts being done then the rwlock will be more expensive than a spin lock. I''ve done the numbers before, which is why the XFS buffer cache rbtrees use a plain spin lock. They sustain >10^6 lookups per second under heavy load with a 99.999% lookup hit rate, and yet the spinlock is not a contention point. hence I suspect for simplicity sake the rwlock shoul dbe made a spin lock and the lookup done in a similar manner to xfs_buf_get_map/_xfs_buf_find() (And yes, you''ll see a lot of similarities between that code and the suggestions I''ve been making, like a single function that does both lookup and insert...)> + > + spin_lock(&he->lock); > + hot_rb_update_freq(&he->hot_freq_data, rw); > + spin_unlock(&he->lock);Probably should move the he->lock into hot_inode_freq_update().> + > +out: > + return he; > +} > + > +/* Update range frequency struct */ > +static bool hot_rb_update_range_freq(struct hot_inode_item *he, > + u64 off, u64 len, int rw, > + struct hot_info *root) > +{ > + struct hot_range_tree *hrtree = &(he->hot_range_tree); > + struct hot_range_item *hr = NULL; > + u64 start_off = off & RANGE_SIZE_MASK; > + u64 end_off = (off + len - 1) & RANGE_SIZE_MASK; > + u64 cur; > + int ret = true; > + > + if (len == 0) > + return false; > + > + /* > + * Align ranges on RANGE_SIZE boundary to prevent proliferation > + * of range structs > + */ > + for (cur = start_off; cur <= end_off; cur += RANGE_SIZE) { > + read_lock(&hrtree->lock); > + hr = hot_rb_lookup_hot_range_item(hrtree, cur); > + read_unlock(&hrtree->lock); > + > + if (!hr) { > + hr = kmem_cache_alloc(hot_range_item_cache, > + GFP_KERNEL | GFP_NOFS); > + if (!hr) { > + ret = false; > + goto out; > + } > + > + write_lock(&hrtree->lock); > + hot_rb_range_item_init(hr); > + hr->start = cur & RANGE_SIZE_MASK; > + hr->len = RANGE_SIZE; > + hr->hot_inode = he; > + hot_rb_add_hot_range_item(hrtree, hr); > + write_unlock(&hrtree->lock); > + } > + > + spin_lock(&hr->lock); > + hot_rb_update_freq(&hr->hot_freq_data, rw); > + spin_unlock(&hr->lock); > + hot_rb_free_hot_range_item(hr); > + }Same comments again about locking. I note that the code will always insert range items of a length RANGE_SIZE. This means you have a fixed object granularity and hence you have no need for a range based search. That is, you could use a radix tree where each entry in the radix tree points directly to the range object similar to how the page cache uses a radix tree for indexing pages. That brings the possibility of lockless range item lookups....> + > +out: > + return ret; > +} > + > +/* main function to update access frequency from read/writepage(s) hooks */ > +void hot_rb_update_freqs(struct inode *inode, u64 start, > + u64 len, int rw) > +{ > + struct hot_inode_item *he; > + > + he = hot_rb_update_inode_freq(inode, rw); > + > + WARN_ON(!he); > + > + if (he) { > + hot_rb_update_range_freq(he, start, len, > + rw, &(inode->i_sb->s_hotinfo)); > + > + hot_rb_free_hot_inode_item(he); > + }This is very assymetric. it would be much better to collapse all the abstraction down to something much simpler, say: int hot_inode_update_freqs() { he = hot_inode_item_find(tree, inum, null) if (!he) { new_he = allocate() if (!new_he) return -ENOMEM; <init new_he> he = hot_inode_item_find(tree, inum, new_he) if (he != new_he) free new_he } hot_inode_freq_update(&he->hot_freq_data, write) for (cur = start_off; cur <= end_off; cur += RANGE_SIZE) { hr = hot_range_item_find(tree, cur, NULL) if (!hr) { new_hr = allocate() if (!new_hr) return -ENOMEM; <init new_hr> hr = hot_inode_item_find(tree, cur, new_hr) if (hr != new_hr) free new_hr } hot_inode_freq_update(&hr->hot_freq_data, write) hot_range_item_put(hr); { hot_inode_item_put(he); }> +} > + > +/* > * Initialize kmem cache for hot_inode_item > * and hot_range_item > */ > diff --git a/fs/hot_tracking.h b/fs/hot_tracking.h > index 269b67a..2ba29e4 100644 > --- a/fs/hot_tracking.h > +++ b/fs/hot_tracking.h > @@ -21,6 +21,21 @@ > #define FREQ_DATA_TYPE_INODE (1 << 0) > /* freq data struct is for a range */ > #define FREQ_DATA_TYPE_RANGE (1 << 1) > +/* size of sub-file ranges */ > +#define RANGE_SIZE (1 << 20) > +#define RANGE_SIZE_MASK (~((u64)(RANGE_SIZE - 1)))You might want to state what units these ranges are in, and that there is one tracking object per range per inode....> +#define FREQ_POWER 4 > + > +struct hot_info; > +struct inode; > + > +struct hot_inode_itemYou''ve already included include/linux/hot_tracking.h, so you shouldn''t need these forward declarations...

Re: [RFC v2 03/10] vfs: add one new mount option ''-o hottrack''

That way ony the filesystems that can use the tracking information will turn it on, rather than being able to turn it on for everything regardless of whether it is useful or not. Along those lines, just using a normal superblock flag to indicate it is active (e.g. MS_HOT_INODE_TRACKING in sb->s_flags) means you don''t need to allocate the sb->s_hot_info structure just to be able to check whether we are tracking hot inodes or not. This then means the hot inode tracking for the superblock can be initialised by the filesystem as part of it''s fill_super method, along with the filesystem specific code that will use the hot tracking information the VFS gathers....

You can just add another hlist_node in the inode_item and range_item. This field can be then used to link into the corresponding hash list.

I just wanted to point out that there are better choices for indexing fixed size elements than rb-trees and why it might make sense to use a different type of tree.

There''s no actual data stored in the hot_hash_node, just pointer back to the frequency data, a hlist_node and a pointer to the hashlist head. IOWs, I agree with Ram that this does not need to exist and just embedding a hlist_node inside the hot_inode_item is all that is needed. i.e: heat_inode_hl hot_inode_tree | | | V | +-------hot_inode_item-------+ | | frequency data | +---+ | hlist_node | | V ^ | V | ...<--hot_inode_item-->... | | ...<--hot_inode_item-->.... | frequency data | | frequency data +------>hlist_node-----------+ +------->hlist_node--->..... There''s no need for separate allocations, initialisations, locks and reference counting - all that is already in the hot_inode_item. The items have the same lifecycle limitations - a hot_hash_node must be torn down before the frequency data it points to is freed. Finally, there''s no difference in how you move it between lists. Indeed, calling it a hash is wrong - there''s not hashing at all - it keeping an array of list where each entry corresponds to a specific temperature. It is a *heat map*, not a hash list. i.e. inode_heat_map, not heat_inode_hl. HEAT_MAP_SIZE, not HASH_SIZE. As it is, there aren''t any users of the heat maps that are generated in this patch set - it''s not even exported to userspace or to debugfs, so I''m not sure how it will be used yet. How are these heat maps going to be used by filesystems, Zhi?

Use a per-superblock workqueue and a struct delayed_work to run periodic work on each superblock. That will also remove all the nasty, nasty !hot_track_temperature_update_kthread checks from the code, too. Also, I''d separate the work that the workqueue does from the patch that introduces the work queue. That way there is only one new thing to comment on in the patch. Further, I''d separate the aging code from the code that updates the temperature map into it''s own patch as well.. Finally, you''re going to need a shrinker to control the amount of memory that is used in tracking hot regions - if we are throwing inodes out of memory due to memory pressure, we most definitely are going to need to reduce the amount of memory the tracking code is using, even if it means losing useful information (i.e. the shrinker accelerates the aging process). Given the above, and the other comments earlier in the series, there''s not a lot of point in me spending time commenting on ethe code in detail here as it will change significantly as a result of all the earlier comments....

When the file corresponding to the inode or range got hotter or cold, its location will be changed in the heat map based on its new temperature in hot_hash_update_hash_table().

If it''s not used for lookups based on temperature, why is it needed?

Indeed, if the mount option is held in s_flags, then it could be dynamically allocated, but I don''t think that''s really necessary...

You know, after those hook functions collect the freq data for inode, they will store those raw info in hot_inode_tree. One private kthread will iterate this tree to distill those raw freq data into one temperatue value in [0 ~ 255], then link the corresponding hot_inode_item in heat map.> > Cheers, > > Dave. > -- > Dave Chinner > david@fromorbit.com-- Regards, Zhi Yong Wu -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-ext4" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
