Iostat看不到设备统计信息的原因分析

浏览:1590次出处信息

最近在把玩些高速的SSD和nvram设备的时候，发现iostat无法统计到这些设备的信息，很是奇怪，于是分析和总结了一把，挺有意思的。

现象描述如下：

# uname -a

Linux dr4000 2.6.32-131.17.1.el6.x86_64 #1 SMP Wed Oct 5 17:19:54 CDT 2011 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

# ls -al /dev/nvdisk0

brw-rw-r- 1 root root 252, 0 Mar 10 16:18 /dev/nvdisk0

# iostat -d

Linux 2.6.32-131.17.1.el6.x86_64 (dr4000) 03/10/2012 _x86_64_ (24 CPU)

Device: tps Blk_read/s Blk_wrtn/s Blk_read Blk_wrtn

sda 60.74 200.21 95.44 55171731 26299534

iostat很奇怪的看不到nvdisk0的IO统计信息.

开始我们的分析之旅，先简单的用strace看下iostat从那里读取这些统计信息的：

很容易看出，主要IO相关信息是从/proc/diskstats读取的。我们再来看下这个文件的内容：

# cat /proc/diskstats
   1       0 ram0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
..
   1      15 ram15 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0

 252       0 nvdisk0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0

顺手打开内核代码block/genhd.c可以看到和diskstats统计相关的代码：

        seq_printf(s, "%4d %4d %s %lu %lu %llu %u %lu %lu %llu %u %u %u %u\\n",
                gp->major, n + gp->first_minor, disk_name(gp, n, buf),
                disk_stat_read(gp, ios[0]), disk_stat_read(gp, merges[0]),
                (unsigned long long)disk_stat_read(gp, sectors[0]),
                jiffies_to_msecs(disk_stat_read(gp, ticks[0])),
                disk_stat_read(gp, ios[1]), disk_stat_read(gp, merges[1]),
                (unsigned long long)disk_stat_read(gp, sectors[1]),
                jiffies_to_msecs(disk_stat_read(gp, ticks[1])),
                gp->in_flight,
                jiffies_to_msecs(disk_stat_read(gp, io_ticks)),
                jiffies_to_msecs(disk_stat_read(gp, time_in_queue)));

这些字段的意义如下：

Field 1 — # of reads issued

Field 2 — # of reads merged, field 6 — # of writes merged

Field 3 — # of sectors read

Field 4 — # of milliseconds spent reading

Field 5 — # of writes completed

Field 7 — # of sectors written

Field 8 — # of milliseconds spent writing

Field 9 — # of I/Os currently in progress

Field 10 — # of milliseconds spent doing I/Os

Field 11 — weighted # of milliseconds spent doing I/Os

更具体的参看这里。

上面的现象的直接原因是由于我们的设备nvdisk0统计值全0引起的。

那为什么这些值全部是空的呢，显然是设备没有把这些信息暴露出来。我们看下内核更新这些统计值的部分。

注意：为了简单我就抄了2.6.18相关代码，因为他的代码集中在 ll_rw_blk.c 文件中，而2.6.32分散到其他文件，不好交代事情。

$ grep -rin _stat_add .
./ll_rw_blk.c:2744:             __disk_stat_add(disk, time_in_queue,
./ll_rw_blk.c:2746:             __disk_stat_add(disk, io_ticks, (now - disk->stamp));
./ll_rw_blk.c:2762:             part_stat_add(part, time_in_queue,
./ll_rw_blk.c:2764:             part_stat_add(part, io_ticks, (now - ps->stamp));
./ll_rw_blk.c:3379:             all_stat_add(req->rq_disk, sectors[rw],
./ll_rw_blk.c:3402:             __all_stat_add(disk, ticks[rw], duration, req->sector);

调用点主要是blk_account_io_done和blk_account_io_completion，而最终的源头是void end_request(struct request *req, int uptodate)；也就是说如果设备驱动程序不调用 end_request之类的函数更新统计的话，那我们就得不到。

我们的nvdisk0是marvell造的nvram卡，幸运的随机带了驱动程序代码，我们来看下：

mvwam-1.6.2/driver/lokidrv.c

#define NV_BDEV_SECTOR_SZ       512  

static int
nv_bdev_create(nvram_hba_t *nvhba)
{
...
        /*
         * Initialize block device queue
         */
        gd->queue = blk_alloc_queue(GFP_KERNEL);
...
        blk_queue_make_request(gd->queue, nvram_make_request);
...
        blk_queue_hardsect_size(gd->queue, NV_BDEV_SECTOR_SZ);
...
}
*
 * Entry of block I/O
 *
 * This function will construct prepare and submit block I/O to the queue
 *
 * @q           - request queue from bio layer
 * @bio         - block io request
 *
 * @return 0 any way, extra info will be returned in nvram_endio
 */
static int
nvram_make_request(struct request_queue *q, struct bio *bio)
{
...

        dma_req = kmem_cache_alloc(nv_dma_req_cache, GFP_KERNEL);
        if (dma_req == NULL)
                return -ENOMEM;

        memset(dma_req, 0, sizeof(*dma_req));
        dma_req->dma_next = NULL;
...
        dma_req->dma_done = nv_blk_req_done;
...
 bio_for_each_segment(bvec, bio, segno) {
                paddr = (page_to_pfn(bvec->bv_page) << PAGE_SHIFT)
                                            + bvec->bv_offset;
                valid_bytes = bvec->bv_len;

                ret = host_prd_try_merge(&cntxt, paddr, valid_bytes);
                if (ret != 0) {
                        /* max prd limit reached. need to split io */
                        ret = nv_split_io(nvhba, &dma_req, rw,
                                        &offset, &cntxt);
                        if (ret != 0) {
                                goto prep_err;
                        }
                        nr_splits++;
                        host_prd_try_merge(&cntxt, paddr, valid_bytes);
                }
        }

...
}

该驱动直接在nvram_make_request中DMA的干活了，为了性能就不走标准的IO请求队列，所以也就不会调用和队列功能相关的end_request函数。

深层次的原因找到了！

其实还有其他的硬件厂商做的设备为了性能，在这块对用户不是太友好，不知道能不能改进下，尊重用户的使用习惯！

小结：有源码，一切了然！
