The test and the explaination of the patch as bellow.
Before test we added more debug code in blkg_async_bio_workfn():
int count = 0
if (bios.head && bios.head->bi_next) {
need_plug = true;
blk_start_plug(&plug);
}
while ((bio = bio_list_pop(&bios))) {
/*io_punt is a sysctl user interface to control the print*/
if(io_punt) {
printk("[%s:%d] bio start,size:%llu,%d count=%d plug?%d\n",
current->comm, current->pid, bio->bi_iter.bi_sector,
(bio->bi_iter.bi_size)>>9, count++, need_plug);
}
submit_bio(bio);
}
if (need_plug)
blk_finish_plug(&plug);
Steps that need to be set to trigger *PUNT* io before testing:
mount -t btrfs -o compress=lzo /dev/sda6 /btrfs
mount -t cgroup2 nodev /cgroup2
mkdir /cgroup2/cg3
echo "+io" > /cgroup2/cgroup.subtree_control
echo "8:0 wbps=1048576000" > /cgroup2/cg3/io.max #1000M/s
echo $$ > /cgroup2/cg3/cgroup.procs
Then use dd command to test btrfs PUNT io in current shell:
dd if=/dev/zero of=/btrfs/file bs=64K count=100000
Test hardware environment as below:
[root@localhost btrfs]# lscpu

Analysis of above 3 test results with different system load:
>From above test, we can see more and more continuous bios can be plugged
with system load increasing. When run "stress -c 64 &", 310 continuous
bios are plugged; When run "stress -c 32 &", 260 continuous bios are
plugged; When don't run stress, at most only 2 continuous bios are
plugged, in most cases, bio_list only contains one single bio.
How to explain above phenomenon:
We know, in submit_bio(), if the bio is a REQ_CGROUP_PUNT io, it will
queue a work to workqueue blkcg_punt_bio_wq. But when the workqueue is
scheduled, it depends on the system load. When system load is low, the
workqueue will be quickly scheduled, and the bio in bio_list will be
quickly processed in blkg_async_bio_workfn(), so there is less chance
that the same io submit thread can add multiple continuous bios to
bio_list before workqueue is scheduled to run. The analysis aligned with
above test "3".
When system load is high, there is some delay before the workqueue can
be scheduled to run, the higher the system load the greater the delay.
So there is more chance that the same io submit thread can add multiple
continuous bios to bio_list. Then when the workqueue is scheduled to run,
there are more continuous bios in bio_list, which will be processed in
blkg_async_bio_workfn(). The analysis aligned with above test "1" and "2".
According to test, we can get io performance improved with the patch,
especially when system load is higher. Another optimazition is to use
the plug only when bio_list contains at least 2 bios.
