Did you consider using token bucket instead of this (leaky bucket?)?
I've attached a patch which implements token bucket. Although not as
precise as the leaky bucket the performance is better at high bandwidth
streaming loads.
The leaky bucket stops at around 53 MB/s while token bucket works for
up to 64 MB/s. The baseline (no cgroups) is 66 MB/s.
benchmark:
two streaming readers (fio) with block size 128k, bucket size 4 MB
90% of the bandwidth was allocated to one process, the other gets 10%

Interesting! it could be great to have both available at runtime and
just switch between leaky or token bucket, e.g. by echo-ing "leaky" or
"token" to a file in the cgroup filesystem, ummm, block.limiting-algorithm?

Thanks for posting the results, I'll look closely at your patch, test
it as well and try merge your work.
I also did some improvements in v2 in terms of scalability, in
particular I've replaced the rbtree with a liked list, in order to
remove the spinlocks and replace them by RCU to protect the list
structure. I need to do some stress tests before, but I'll post a v3
soon.
Some minor comments below for now.

Better to use jiffies_to_msecs() here.

The same here:
node->t += node->iorate * 1024
* jiffies_to_msec(delta) * MSEC_PER_SEC;

And again:
sleep = msec_to_jiffies(-node->t / (node->iorate * 1024)
* MSEC_PER_SEC);

This is the core io-throttle kernel infrastructure. It creates the basic
interfaces to cgroups and implements the I/O measurement and throttling
functions.

Carl,
based on your token bucket solution I've implemented a run-time leaky
bucket / token bucket switcher:
# leaky bucket #
echo 0 > /cgroups/foo/blockio.throttling_strategy
# token bucket #
echo 1 > /cgroups/foo/blockio.throttling_strategy
The -rc of the new io-throttle patch 2/3 is below, 1/3 and 3/3 are the
same as patchset version 3, even if documentation must be updated. It
would be great if you could review the patch, in particular the
token_bucket() implementation and repeat your tests.
The all-in-one patch is available here:
http://download.systemimager.org/~arighi/linux/patches/io-throttle/cgroup-io-throttle-v4-rc1.patch
I also did some quick tests similar to yours, the benchmark I've used is
available here as well:

In conclusion, results seem to confirm that leaky bucket is more precise
(more smoothed) than token bucket; token bucket, instead, is better in
terms of efficiency when approaching to the disk's I/O physical limit,
as the theory claims.
It would be also interesting to test how token bucket performance
changes using different bucket size values. I'll do more accurate tests
ASAP.

Carl,
based on your token bucket solution I've implemented a run-time leaky
bucket / token bucket switcher:
# leaky bucket #
echo 0 > /cgroups/foo/blockio.throttling_strategy
# token bucket #
echo 1 > /cgroups/foo/blockio.throttling_strategy
The -rc of the new io-throttle patch 2/3 is below, 1/3 and 3/3 are the
same as patchset version 3, even if documentation must be updated. It
would be great if you could review the patch, in particular the
token_bucket() implementation and repeat your tests.
The all-in-one patch is available here:
http://download.systemimager.org/~arighi/linux/patches/io-throttle/cgroup-io-throttle-v4-rc1.patch
I also did some quick tests similar to yours, the benchmark I've used is
available here as well:

In conclusion, results seem to confirm that leaky bucket is more precise
(more smoothed) than token bucket; token bucket, instead, is better in
terms of efficiency when approaching to the disk's I/O physical limit,
as the theory claims.
It would be also interesting to test how token bucket performance
changes using different bucket size values. I'll do more accurate tests
ASAP.

Please document each field in structures. This is usually more useful
and important than documenting the code whcih manipulates those fields.
It is important that the units of fields such as iorate and timestamp
and stamp be documented.

Looking elsewhere in the code it appears that some RCU-based locking is
performed. That should be documented somewhere. Fully. At the
definition site of the data whcih is RCU-protceted would be a good
site.

This will be too large for inlining.
This function presumably has caller-provided locking requirements?
They should be documented here.

Too large for inlining.
Was list_for_each_entry_rcu() needed?
Does this function have any caller-provided locking requirements?

static struct cgroup_subsys_state *iothrottle_create(struct cgroup_subsys *ss,
struct cgroup *cont)
would be more typical code layout (here and elsewhere)
static struct cgroup_subsys_state *
iothrottle_create(struct cgroup_subsys *ss, struct cgroup *cont)
is another way.

This is a kernel->userspace interface. It is part of the kernel ABI.
We will need to support in a back-compatible fashion for ever. Hence
it is important. The entire proposed kernel<->userspace interface
should be completely described in the changelog or the documentation so
that we can understand and review what you are proposing.

Too large to inline. I get tired of telling people this. Please just
remove all the inlining from all the patches. Then go back and
selectively inline any functions which really do need to be inlined
(overall reduction in generated .text is a good heuristic).
How can this function not be racy? We're returning a dev_t which
refers to a device upon which we have no reference. A better design
might be to rework the who9le thing to operate on a `struct
block_device *' upon whcih this code holds a reference, rather than
using bare dev_t.
I _guess_ it's OK doing an in-kernel filesystem lookup here. But did
you consider just passing the dev_t in from userspace? It's just a
stat().
Does all this code treat /dev/sda1 as a separate device from /dev/sda2?
If so, that would be broken.

typo.
This comment is incorrect, isn't it? Or at least misleading. The
bandwidth can be expressed in an exotically broad number of different
ways.

uninline...
I think the whole memparse() thing is over the top:
+- BANDWIDTH is the maximum I/O bandwidth on DEVICE allowed by CGROUP (we can
+ use a suffix k, K, m, M, g or G to indicate bandwidth values in KB/s, MB/s
+ or GB/s),
For starters, we don't _display_ the bacndwidth back to the user in the
units with which it was written, so what's the point?
Secondly, we hope and expect that humans won't be diorectly echoing raw
data into kernel pseudo files. We shouild expect and plan for (or even
write) front-end management applications. And such applications won't
need these ornate designed-for-human interfaces.
IOW: I'd suggest this interface be changed to accept a plain old 64-bit
bytes-per-second and leave it at that.

Please avoid variables called tmp or things derived from it. Surely we
can think of some more communucative identifier?

strncpy_from_user()? (I'm not sure that strncpy_from_user() does the

err, no.
I don't know what this is doing or why it was added, but whatever it is
it's a hack and it all needs to go away.
Please describe what problem this is trying to solve and let's take a
look at it. That should have been covered in code comments anyway.
But because it wasn't, I am presently unable to help.

Are you sure that n->iorate cannot be set to zero between the above
test and this division? Taking a copy into a local variable would fix
that small race.

I'm confused. This code is using jiffies but the string "HZ" doesn't
appears anywhere in the diff. Where are we converting from the
kernel-internal HZ rate into suitable-for-exposing-to-userspace units?
HZ can vary from 100 to 1000 (approx). What are the implications of
this for the accuracy of this code?
I have no comments on the overall design. I'm not sure that I understand
it yet.

Please document each field in structures. This is usually more useful
and important than documenting the code whcih manipulates those fields.
It is important that the units of fields such as iorate and timestamp
and stamp be documented.

Looking elsewhere in the code it appears that some RCU-based locking is
performed. That should be documented somewhere. Fully. At the
definition site of the data whcih is RCU-protceted would be a good
site.

This will be too large for inlining.
This function presumably has caller-provided locking requirements?
They should be documented here.

Too large for inlining.
Was list_for_each_entry_rcu() needed?
Does this function have any caller-provided locking requirements?

static struct cgroup_subsys_state *iothrottle_create(struct cgroup_subsys *ss,
struct cgroup *cont)
would be more typical code layout (here and elsewhere)
static struct cgroup_subsys_state *
iothrottle_create(struct cgroup_subsys *ss, struct cgroup *cont)
is another way.

This is a kernel->userspace interface. It is part of the kernel ABI.
We will need to support in a back-compatible fashion for ever. Hence
it is important. The entire proposed kernel<->userspace interface
should be completely described in the changelog or the documentation so
that we can understand and review what you are proposing.

Too large to inline. I get tired of telling people this. Please just
remove all the inlining from all the patches. Then go back and
selectively inline any functions which really do need to be inlined
(overall reduction in generated .text is a good heuristic).
How can this function not be racy? We're returning a dev_t which
refers to a device upon which we have no reference. A better design
might be to rework the who9le thing to operate on a `struct
block_device *' upon whcih this code holds a reference, rather than
using bare dev_t.
I _guess_ it's OK doing an in-kernel filesystem lookup here. But did
you consider just passing the dev_t in from userspace? It's just a
stat().
Does all this code treat /dev/sda1 as a separate device from /dev/sda2?
If so, that would be broken.

typo.
This comment is incorrect, isn't it? Or at least misleading. The
bandwidth can be expressed in an exotically broad number of different
ways.

uninline...
I think the whole memparse() thing is over the top:
+- BANDWIDTH is the maximum I/O bandwidth on DEVICE allowed by CGROUP (we can
+ use a suffix k, K, m, M, g or G to indicate bandwidth values in KB/s, MB/s
+ or GB/s),
For starters, we don't _display_ the bacndwidth back to the user in the
units with which it was written, so what's the point?
Secondly, we hope and expect that humans won't be diorectly echoing raw
data into kernel pseudo files. We shouild expect and plan for (or even
write) front-end management applications. And such applications won't
need these ornate designed-for-human interfaces.
IOW: I'd suggest this interface be changed to accept a plain old 64-bit
bytes-per-second and leave it at that.

Please avoid variables called tmp or things derived from it. Surely we

strncpy_from_user()? (I'm not sure that strncpy_from_user() does the

err, no.
I don't know what this is doing or why it was added, but whatever it is
it's a hack and it all needs to go away.
Please describe what problem this is trying to solve and let's take a
look at it. That should have been covered in code comments anyway.
But because it wasn't, I am presently unable to help.

Are you sure that n->iorate cannot be set to zero between the above
test and this division? Taking a copy into a local variable would fix
that small race.

Andrew,
thanks for your time and the detailed revision. I'll try to fix
everything you reported and better document the code according to your
suggestions. I'll re-submit a new patchset version ASAP.
A few comments below.

and BTW I was actually wondering if the output could be changed with
something less human readable and better parseable, I means just print
only raw numbers. And describe the semantic in the documentation.

However, holding a reference wouldn't allow to unplug the device, i.e.
a USB disk. As reported in Documentation/controllers/io-throttle.txt:
WARNING: per-block device limiting rules always refer to the dev_t
device number. If a block device is unplugged (i.e. a USB device) the
limiting rules defined for that device persist and they are still valid
if a new device is plugged in the system and it uses the same major and
minor numbers.
This would be a feature in my case, but I don't know if it would be a
bug in general.

Yes, and that seems to be more reasonable, since we display major,minor
numbers in the output.
> Does all this code treat /dev/sda1 as a separate device from /dev/sda2?
> If so, that would be broken.
Yes, all the partitions are treated as separate devices with
(potentially) different limiting rules, but I don't understand why it
would be broken... dev_t has both minor and major numbers, so it would
be possible to select single partitions as well.

n->iorate can only change via userspace->kernel interface, that just
replaces the node in the list using the rcu way. AFAIK this shouldn't be
racy, but better to do it using the local variable to avoid future bugs.

The code uses jiffies_to_usecs() and usecs_to_jiffies(), that should be
ok, isn't it?

Andrew,
thanks for your time and the detailed revision. I'll try to fix
everything you reported and better document the code according to your
suggestions. I'll re-submit a new patchset version ASAP.
A few comments below.

and BTW I was actually wondering if the output could be changed with
something less human readable and better parseable, I means just print
only raw numbers. And describe the semantic in the documentation.

However, holding a reference wouldn't allow to unplug the device, i.e.
a USB disk. As reported in Documentation/controllers/io-throttle.txt:
WARNING: per-block device limiting rules always refer to the dev_t
device number. If a block device is unplugged (i.e. a USB device) the
limiting rules defined for that device persist and they are still valid
if a new device is plugged in the system and it uses the same major and
minor numbers.
This would be a feature in my case, but I don't know if it would be a
bug in general.

Yes, and that seems to be more reasonable, since we display major,minor
numbers in the output.

Yes, all the partitions are treated as separate devices with
(potentially) different limiting rules, but I don't understand why it
would be broken... dev_t has both minor and major numbers, so it would
be possible to select single partitions as well.

Well it's functionally broken, isn't it? A physical disk has a fixed
IO bandwidth and when the administrator wants to partition that
bandwidth amongst control groups he will need to consider the entire
device when doing so?
I mean, the whole point of this feature and of control groups as a
whole is isolation. But /dev/sda1 and /dev/sda2 are very much _not_
isolated. Whereas /dev/sda and /dev/sdb are (to a large degree)
isolated.

well... yes, sounds reasonable. In this case we could just ignore the
minor number and consider only major number as the key to identify a
specific block device (both for userspace<->kernel interface and when
accounting/throttling i/o requests).

oops.. no, this is obviously wrong. So, I dunno if it would be better to
add complexity in cgroup_io_throttle() to identify the disk a partition
belongs or to just use the struct block_device as key, instead of dev_t,
as you intially suggested. I'll investigate.

oops.. no, this is obviously wrong. So, I dunno if it would be better to
add complexity in cgroup_io_throttle() to identify the disk a partition
belongs or to just use the struct block_device as key, instead of dev_t,
as you intially suggested. I'll investigate.

This is the core io-throttle kernel infrastructure. It creates the basic
interfaces to cgroups and implements the I/O measurement and throttling
functions.
