From: Tao Cui <[email protected]>
Add a second example cost model which replaces the builtin
single-cursor sequentiality heuristic with a per-cgroup table of
stream slots: an IO is sequential iff its sector matches the expected
next sector of any tracked stream. Interleaved sequential readers in
one cgroup keep their own slots instead of ping-ponging a single
cursor, and random IO inside a hot window rarely matches a moving
expectation. Merged bios skip the base cost but still advance the
matched stream position, so a merge at the expected sector does not
make the following new IO look random.
Stream state lives in a CGRP_STORAGE map keyed by the cgroup of the
blkcg argument, following the cgroup lifetime; there is no
fixed-size registry to exhaust.
Measured (QEMU, virtio-blk with the HDD profile, 4k IOs, w=1000):
two sequential readers in one cgroup are priced 1961us/op by the
builtin model (judged random) and 23us/op by this model (judged
sequential), the completed IO count rises from 4495 to 207505;
random IO inside an 8M window is priced 24us/op by builtin
(undercharge) and 2607us/op by this model; single-stream sequential
and whole-disk random pricing are unchanged.

+ * Example multi-stream sequentiality detection cost model.
+ *
+ * The builtin model keeps a single cursor per cgroup, so two
+ * interleaved sequential readers in one cgroup are all priced random
+ * (measured 89x overcharge, 12.9x throughput collapse), while random
+ * IO inside a hot window smaller than the 16MB seek threshold is
+ * priced sequential (measured 107x undercharge). This model replaces
+ * the single cursor with a per-cgroup table of stream slots: an IO is
+ * sequential iff its sector matches the expected next sector of any
+ * tracked stream. Interleaved streams keep their own slots, and
+ * windowed random IO rarely matches a moving expectation.
+ *
+ * Stream state lives in a CGRP_STORAGE map, so it is created and
+ * freed with the cgroup. The model implements the full builtin
+ * linear formula itself, including flush pricing.
