[PATCH 20/27] blk-iocost: revamp in-period donation snapbacks

From: Tejun Heo
Date: Tue Sep 01 2020 - 14:55:32 EST


When the margin drops below the minimum on a donating iocg, donation is
immediately canceled in full. There are a couple shortcomings with the
current behavior.

* It's abrupt. A small temporary budget deficit can lead to a wide swing in
weight allocation and a large surplus.

* It's open coded in the issue path but not implemented for the merge path.
A series of merges at a low inuse can make the iocg incur debts and stall
incorrectly.

This patch reimplements in-period donation snapbacks so that

* inuse adjustment and cost calculations are factored into
adjust_inuse_and_calc_cost() which is called from both the issue and merge
paths.

* Snapbacks are more gradual. It occurs in quarter steps.

* A snapback triggers if the margin goes below the low threshold and is
lower than the budget at the time of the last adjustment.

* For the above, __propagate_weights() stores the margin in
iocg->saved_margin. Move iocg->last_inuse storing together into
__propagate_weights() for consistency.

* Full snapback is guaranteed when there are waiters.

* With precise donation and gradual snapbacks, inuse adjustments are now a
lot more effective and the value of scaling inuse on weight changes isn't
clear. Removed inuse scaling from weight_update().
