The main goal of the patch is to effectively cap the disk I/O speed or counts of one single VM.It is only one draft, so it unavoidably has some drawbacks, if you catch them, please let me know.
The patch will mainly introduce one block I/O throttling algorithm, one timer and one block queue for each I/O limits enabled drive. When a block request is coming in, the throttling algorithm will check if its I/O rate or counts exceed the limits; if yes, then it will enqueue to the block queue; The timer will handle the I/O requests in it. Some available features follow as below: (1) global bps limit. -drive bps=xxx in bytes/s (2) only read bps limit -drive bps_rd=xxx in bytes/s (3) only write bps limit -drive bps_wr=xxx in bytes/s (4) global iops limit -drive iops=xxx in ios/s (5) only read iops limit -drive iops_rd=xxx in ios/s (6) only write iops limit -drive iops_wr=xxx in ios/s (7) the combination of some limits. -drive bps=xxx,iops=xxx Known Limitations: (1) #1 can not coexist with #2, #3 (2) #4 can not coexist with #5, #6 Changes since code V10: 1.) Made some mininal changes based on stefan and Ryan's comments 2.) Add one perf report for block I/O throttling v10 Greately simply the logic and rebase request queue to CoQueue based on Stefan's comments. v9 made a lot of changes based on kevin's comments. slice_time is dynamically adjusted based on wait_time. rebase the latest qemu upstream. v8: fix the build per patch based on stefan's comments. v7: Mainly simply the block queue. Adjust codes based on stefan's comments. v6: Mainly fix the aio callback issue for block queue. Adjust codes based on Ram Pai's comments. v5: add qmp/hmp support. Adjust the codes based on stefan's comments qmp/hmp: add block_set_io_throttle v4: fix memory leaking based on ryan's feedback. v3: Added the code for extending slice time, and modified the method to compute wait time for the timer. v2: The codes V2 for QEMU disk I/O limits. Modified the codes mainly based on stefan's comments. v1: Submit the codes for QEMU disk I/O limits. Only a code draft. Zhi Yong Wu (4): block: add the blockio limits command line support block: add I/O throttling algorithm hmp/qmp: add block_set_io_throttle block: perf testing data based on block I/O throttling 10mbps.dat | 334 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 1mbps.dat | 341 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ block.c | 276 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++- block.h | 5 + block_int.h | 30 +++++ blockdev.c | 103 +++++++++++++++ blockdev.h | 2 + hmp-commands.hx | 15 ++ hmp.c | 10 ++ qapi-schema.json | 16 ++- qemu-config.c | 24 ++++ qemu-coroutine-lock.c | 8 + qemu-coroutine.h | 6 + qemu-options.hx | 1 + qerror.c | 4 + qerror.h | 3 + qmp-commands.hx | 53 ++++++++- 17 files changed, 1228 insertions(+), 3 deletions(-) create mode 100644 10mbps.dat create mode 100644 1mbps.dat -- 1.7.6
