Lots of devices support huge discard sizes these days. Depending on how the device handles them internally, huge discards can introduce massive latencies (hundreds of msec) on the device side. We have a sysfs file, discard_max_bytes, that advertises the max hardware supported discard size. Make this writeable, and split the settings into a soft and hard limit. This can be set from 'discard_granularity' and up to the hardware limit. Add a new sysfs file, 'discard_max_hw_bytes', that shows the hw set limit.

Queue sysfs files
|
|
=================
|
|
|
|
This text file will detail the queue files that are located in the sysfs tree
|
|
for each block device. Note that stacked devices typically do not export
|
|
any settings, since their queue merely functions are a remapping target.
|
|
These files are the ones found in the /sys/block/xxx/queue/ directory.
|
|
|
|
Files denoted with a RO postfix are readonly and the RW postfix means
|
|
read-write.
|
|
|
|
add_random (RW)
|
|
----------------
|
|
This file allows to turn off the disk entropy contribution. Default
|
|
value of this file is '1'(on).
|
|
|
|
discard_granularity (RO)
|
|
-----------------------
|
|
This shows the size of internal allocation of the device in bytes, if
|
|
reported by the device. A value of '0' means device does not support
|
|
the discard functionality.
|
|
|
|
discard_max_hw_bytes (RO)
|
|
----------------------
|
|
Devices that support discard functionality may have internal limits on
|
|
the number of bytes that can be trimmed or unmapped in a single operation.
|
|
The discard_max_bytes parameter is set by the device driver to the maximum
|
|
number of bytes that can be discarded in a single operation. Discard
|
|
requests issued to the device must not exceed this limit. A discard_max_bytes
|
|
value of 0 means that the device does not support discard functionality.
|
|
|
|
discard_max_bytes (RW)
|
|
----------------------
|
|
While discard_max_hw_bytes is the hardware limit for the device, this
|
|
setting is the software limit. Some devices exhibit large latencies when
|
|
large discards are issued, setting this value lower will make Linux issue
|
|
smaller discards and potentially help reduce latencies induced by large
|
|
discard operations.
|
|
|
|
discard_zeroes_data (RO)
|
|
------------------------
|
|
When read, this file will show if the discarded block are zeroed by the
|
|
device or not. If its value is '1' the blocks are zeroed otherwise not.
|
|
|
|
hw_sector_size (RO)
|
|
-------------------
|
|
This is the hardware sector size of the device, in bytes.
|
|
|
|
iostats (RW)
|
|
-------------
|
|
This file is used to control (on/off) the iostats accounting of the
|
|
disk.
|
|
|
|
logical_block_size (RO)
|
|
-----------------------
|
|
This is the logcal block size of the device, in bytes.
|
|
|
|
max_hw_sectors_kb (RO)
|
|
----------------------
|
|
This is the maximum number of kilobytes supported in a single data transfer.
|
|
|
|
max_integrity_segments (RO)
|
|
---------------------------
|
|
When read, this file shows the max limit of integrity segments as
|
|
set by block layer which a hardware controller can handle.
|
|
|
|
max_sectors_kb (RW)
|
|
-------------------
|
|
This is the maximum number of kilobytes that the block layer will allow
|
|
for a filesystem request. Must be smaller than or equal to the maximum
|
|
size allowed by the hardware.
|
|
|
|
max_segments (RO)
|
|
-----------------
|
|
Maximum number of segments of the device.
|
|
|
|
max_segment_size (RO)
|
|
---------------------
|
|
Maximum segment size of the device.
|
|
|
|
minimum_io_size (RO)
|
|
--------------------
|
|
This is the smallest preferred IO size reported by the device.
|
|
|
|
nomerges (RW)
|
|
-------------
|
|
This enables the user to disable the lookup logic involved with IO
|
|
merging requests in the block layer. By default (0) all merges are
|
|
enabled. When set to 1 only simple one-hit merges will be tried. When
|
|
set to 2 no merge algorithms will be tried (including one-hit or more
|
|
complex tree/hash lookups).
|
|
|
|
nr_requests (RW)
|
|
----------------
|
|
This controls how many requests may be allocated in the block layer for
|
|
read or write requests. Note that the total allocated number may be twice
|
|
this amount, since it applies only to reads or writes (not the accumulated
|
|
sum).
|
|
|
|
To avoid priority inversion through request starvation, a request
|
|
queue maintains a separate request pool per each cgroup when
|
|
CONFIG_BLK_CGROUP is enabled, and this parameter applies to each such
|
|
per-block-cgroup request pool. IOW, if there are N block cgroups,
|
|
each request queue may have up to N request pools, each independently
|
|
regulated by nr_requests.
|
|
|
|
optimal_io_size (RO)
|
|
--------------------
|
|
This is the optimal IO size reported by the device.
|
|
|
|
physical_block_size (RO)
|
|
------------------------
|
|
This is the physical block size of device, in bytes.
|
|
|
|
read_ahead_kb (RW)
|
|
------------------
|
|
Maximum number of kilobytes to read-ahead for filesystems on this block
|
|
device.
|
|
|
|
rotational (RW)
|
|
---------------
|
|
This file is used to stat if the device is of rotational type or
|
|
non-rotational type.
|
|
|
|
rq_affinity (RW)
|
|
----------------
|
|
If this option is '1', the block layer will migrate request completions to the
|
|
cpu "group" that originally submitted the request. For some workloads this
|
|
provides a significant reduction in CPU cycles due to caching effects.
|
|
|
|
For storage configurations that need to maximize distribution of completion
|
|
processing setting this option to '2' forces the completion to run on the
|
|
requesting cpu (bypassing the "group" aggregation logic).
|
|
|
|
scheduler (RW)
|
|
--------------
|
|
When read, this file will display the current and available IO schedulers
|
|
for this block device. The currently active IO scheduler will be enclosed
|
|
in [] brackets. Writing an IO scheduler name to this file will switch
|
|
control of this block device to that new IO scheduler. Note that writing
|
|
an IO scheduler name to this file will attempt to load that IO scheduler
|
|
module, if it isn't already present in the system.
