前言
- blktrace的作者正是block io的maintainer,开发此工具,可以更好的追踪IO的过程。
- blktrace 结合btt可以统计一个IO是在调度队列停留的时间长,还是在硬件上消耗的时间长,利用这个工具可以协助分析和优化问题。
blktrace的原理
一个I/O请求的处理过程,可以梳理为这样一张简单的图:
一个I/O请求进入block layer之后,可能会经历下面的过程:
-
I/O enters block layer – it can be:
- Remapped onto another device (MD, DM)
- Split into 2 separate I/Os (alignment, size, ...)
- Added to the request queue
- Merged with a previous entry on the queue All I/Os end up on a request queue at some point
-
At some later time, the I/O is issued to a device driver, and submitted to a device
-
Later, the I/O is completed by the device, and its driver
blkparse显示的各指标点示意:
Q------->G------------>I--------->M------------------->D----------------------------->C
|-Q time-|-Insert time-|
|--------- merge time ------------|-merge with other IO|
|----------------scheduler time time-------------------|---driver,adapter,storagetime--|
|----------------------- await time in iostat output ----------------------------------|
其中:
- Q2Q — time between requests sent to the block layer
- Q2G — time from a block I/O is queued to the time it gets a request allocated for it
- G2I — time from a request is allocated to the time it is Inserted into the device's queue
- Q2M — time from a block I/O is queued to the time it gets merged with an existing request
- I2D — time from a request is inserted into the device's queue to the time it is actually issued to the device
- M2D — time from a block I/O is merged with an exiting request until the request is issued to the device
- D2C — service time of the request by the device
- Q2C — total time spent in the block layer for a request
blktrace 能够记录下IO所经历的各个步骤:
blktrace的输出:
- 第一个字段:8,0 这个字段是设备号 major device ID和minor device ID。
- 第二个字段:3 表示CPU
- 第三个字段:11 序列号
- 第四个字段:0.009507758 Time Stamp是时间偏移
- 第五个字段:PID 本次IO对应的进程ID
- 第六个字段:Event,这个字段非常重要,反映了IO进行到了那一步
- 第七个字段:R表示 Read, W是Write,D表示block,B表示Barrier Operation
- 第八个字段:223490+56,表示的是起始block number 和 number of blocks,即我们常说的Offset 和 Size
- 第九个字段: 进程名
其中第六个字段非常有用:每一个字母都代表了IO请求所经历的某个阶段。
Q – 即将生成IO请求
|
G – IO请求生成
|
I – IO请求进入IO Scheduler队列
|
D – IO请求进入driver
|
C – IO请求执行完毕
blktrace的用法
实际上blktrace仅仅是用来采集数据,数据的分析其实有很多辅助的工具,比如:
- blkparse
- btt
- blkiomon
- iowatcher
这些工具都是利用blktrace采集的数据,更好的分析,然后输出。
使用blktrace前提需要挂载debugfs。
mount –t debugfs debugfs /sys/kernel/debug
实时查看:
blktrace只负责采集,blkparse 负责解析成适合人类看的文字:
blktrace -o 指定输出
#blktrace -d /dev/sda -o - | blkparse -i -
先采集,再查看:
1. 先采集,将会在当前目录获得一堆的文件,缺省的输出文件名是 sdb.blktrace.<cpu>,每个CPU对应一个文件。
#blktrace /dev/sda /dev/sdb
2. 给blkparse传递磁盘的名字,将会直接解析。
#blkparse sda sdb
blktrace产生的文件太零散怎么办?
生成采集文件
#blktrace -d /dev/sda
合并成一个二进制文件
#blkparse -i sda -d sda.blktrace.bin
其实我们还是嫌弃blkparse的输出太多,不方便查看,此时可以利用btt协助分析统计
#btt -i sda.blktrace.bin -l sda.d2c_latency
# 这里就可以看到,每个阶段,消耗的时间
[root@localhost2 /data/sandbox/blktrace_test]
#btt -i sda.blktrace.bin -l sda.d2c_latency

- Q2I – time it takes to process an I/O prior to it being inserted or merged onto a request queue – Includes split, and remap time
- I2D – time the I/O is “idle” on the request queue
- D2C – time the I/O is “active” in the driver and on the device
- Q2I + I2D + D2C = Q2C
- Q2C: Total processing time of the I/O
注意:
D2C: 表征块设备性能的关键指标
Q2C: 客户发起请求到收到响应的时间
D2C 平均时间:0.015828304 秒,即15.82毫秒
Q2C 平均时间:0.015835360 秒,即15.83毫秒
平均下来,D2C 阶段消耗时间占比 99.9554%
上述命令其实还会产生一些.dat文件,可以看到iops信息

一次IO的生命周期:direct read 附录见测试代码

8,32 7 7 0.000200150 32031 C R 272208 + 2 [0]
以上就是一次IO请求的生命周期,从actions看到,分别是QGPIUDC
Q:先产生一个该位置的IO意向插入到io队列,此时并没有真正的请求
G:发送一个实际的Io请求给设备
P(plugging):插入:即等待即将到来的更多的io请求进入队列,以便系统能进行IO优化,减少执行IO请求时花的时间
I:将IO请求进行调度,到这一步请求已经完全成型(formed)好了
U (unplugging):拔出,设备决定不再等待其他的IO请求并使得系统必须响应当前IO请求,将该IO请求传给设备驱动器。可以看到,在P和U之间会等待IO,然后进行调度。这里会对IO进行一点优化,
但是程度很低,因为等待的时间很短,是纳秒级别的
D :发布刚才送入驱动器的IO请求
C:结束IO请求,这里会返回一个执行状态:失败或者成功,在进程号处为0表示执行成功,反之则反
到此一个IO的周期就结束了

blktrace -a 参数可以指定监控的动作:
1. blktrace /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 -o /data/trace 命令解析:监控mmcblk0p1块设备,将生成的文件存储在/data目录下,一共生成4个文件,文件以trace开头,分别为trace.blktrace.0 trace.blktrace.1 trace.blktrace.2trace.blktrace.3分别对应cpu0、cpu1、cpu2、cpu3
2. blktrace /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 -D /data/trace 命令解析:监控mmcblk0p1块设备,在/data目录下建立一个名字为trace的文件夹,trace文件夹下存放的是名字为 mmcblk0p1.blktrace.0mmcblk0p1.blktrace.1 mmcblk0p1.blktrace.2 mmcblk0p1.blktrace.3 分别对应cpu0 cpu1 cpu2 cpu3
3. blktrace /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 -o /data/trace -w 10 命令解析:-w 选项表示多长时间之后停止监控(单位:秒) -w 10 表示10秒之后停止监控
