2008-07-27task IO accounting: move all IO statistics in struct task_io_accountingAndrea Righi
Simplify the code of include/linux/task_io_accounting.h. It is also more reasonable to have all the task i/o-related statistics in a single struct (task_io_accounting).

2008-07-27task IO accounting: improve code readabilityAndrea Righi
Put all i/o statistics in struct proc_io_accounting and use inline functions to initialize and increment statistics, removing a lot of single variable assignments. This also reduces the kernel size as following (with CONFIG_TASK_XACCT=y and CONFIG_TASK_IO_ACCOUNTING=y). text data bss dec hex filename 11651 0 0 11651 2d83 kernel/exit.o.before 11619 0 0 11619 2d63 kernel/exit.o.after 10886 132 136 11154 2b92 kernel/fork.o.before 10758 132 136 11026 2b12 kernel/fork.o.after 3082029 807968 4818600 8708597 84e1f5 vmlinux.o.before 3081869 807968 4818600 8708437 84e155 vmlinux.o.after Signed-off-by: Andrea Righi <righi.andrea@gmail.com> Acked-by: Oleg Nesterov <oleg@tv-sign.ru> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
2007-05-21Detach sched.h from mm.hAlexey Dobriyan
First thing mm.h does is including sched.h solely for can_do_mlock() inline function which has "current" dereference inside. By dealing with can_do_mlock() mm.h can be detached from sched.h which is good. See below, why. This patch a) removes unconditional inclusion of sched.h from mm.h b) makes can_do_mlock() normal function in mm/mlock.c c) exports can_do_mlock() to not break compilation d) adds sched.h inclusions back to files that were getting it indirectly. e) adds less bloated headers to some files (asm/signal.h, jiffies.h) that were getting them indirectly Net result is: a) mm.h users would get less code to open, read, preprocess, parse, ... if they don't need sched.h b) sched.h stops being dependency for significant number of files: on x86_64 allmodconfig touching sched.h results in recompile of 4083 files, after patch it's only 3744 (-8.3%).

2007-05-11getrusage(): fill ru_inblock and ru_oublock fields if possibleEric Dumazet
If CONFIG_TASK_IO_ACCOUNTING is defined, we update io accounting counters for each task. This patch permits reporting of values using the well known getrusage() syscall, filling ru_inblock and ru_oublock instead of null values. As TASK_IO_ACCOUNTING currently counts bytes counts, we approximate blocks count doing : nr_blocks = nr_bytes / 512 Example of use : ---------------------- After patch is applied, /usr/bin/time command can now give a good approximation of IO that the process had to do. $ /usr/bin/time grep tototo /usr/include/* Command exited with non-zero status 1 0.00user 0.02system 0:02.11elapsed 1%CPU (0avgtext+0avgdata 0maxresident)k 24288inputs+0outputs (0major+259minor)pagefaults 0swaps $ /usr/bin/time dd if=/dev/zero of=/tmp/testfile count=1000 1000+0 enregistrements lus 1000+0 enregistrements écrits 512000 octets (512 kB) copiés, 0,00326601 seconde, 157 MB/s 0.00user 0.00system 0:00.00elapsed 80%CPU (0avgtext+0avgdata 0maxresident)k 0inputs+3000outputs (0major+299minor)pagefaults 0swaps Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <dada1@cosmosbay.com> Cc: Oleg Nesterov <oleg@tv-sign.ru> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
2006-12-10[PATCH] io-accounting: core statisticsAndrew Morton
The present per-task IO accounting isn't very useful. It simply counts the number of bytes passed into read() and write(). So if a process reads 1MB from an already-cached file, it is accused of having performed 1MB of I/O, which is wrong. (David Wright had some comments on the applicability of the present logical IO accounting: For billing purposes it is useless but for workload analysis it is very useful read_bytes/read_calls average read request size write_bytes/write_calls average write request size read_bytes/read_blocks ie logical/physical can indicate hit rate or thrashing write_bytes/write_blocks ie logical/physical guess since pdflush writes can be missed I often look for logical larger than physical to see filesystem cache problems. And the bytes/cpusec can help find applications that are dominating the cache and causing slow interactive response from page cache contention. I want to find the IO intensive applications and make sure they are doing efficient IO. Thus the acctcms(sysV) or csacms command would give the high IO commands). This patchset adds new accounting which tries to be more accurate. We account for three things: reads: attempt to count the number of bytes which this process really did cause to be fetched from the storage layer. Done at the submit_bio() level, so it is accurate for block-backed filesystems. I also attempt to wire up NFS and CIFS. writes: attempt to count the number of bytes which this process caused to be sent to the storage layer. This is done at page-dirtying time. The big inaccuracy here is truncate. If a process writes 1MB to a file and then deletes the file, it will in fact perform no writeout. But it will have been accounted as having caused 1MB of write. So... cancelled_writes: account the number of bytes which this process caused to not happen, by truncating pagecache. We _could_ just subtract this from the process's `write' accounting. But that means that some processes would be reported to have done negative amounts of write IO, which is silly. So we just report the raw number and punt this decision up to userspace. Now, we _could_ account for writes at the physical I/O level. But - This would require that we track memory-dirtying tasks at the per-page level (would require a new pointer in struct page). - It would mean that IO statistics for a process are usually only available long after that process has exitted. Which means that we probably cannot communicate this info via taskstats. This patch: Wire up the kernel-private data structures and the accessor functions to manipulate them.
