Eureka! Good!

So, the proposed patch really fix it!
It was a very long time nasty issue,,,.

Now it performs much better than 3.18.7. My PC suspends to RAM correctly, only problem I have is with no network after resume. I can not start network.service, here is output:

But also if it helps, it is not permanent solution for me, I can not reload kernel module after every resume.

Ciao Nicco,

ho provato il 3.18.8, e sembra OK; ho trovato la causa del
problema dello scheduler, ovvero il fatto che il /sys/block/sda/queue/scheduler
è sempre settato a "none". Sembra che con il 3.18 ufficiale sia stato introdotto
una specie di nuovo scheduler, chiamato "Multiblock Queue I/O",
che dovrebbe abbassare la latenza per dischi SSD, quando ci sono tantissime
operazioni (superiori a 1 milione di OP al secondo). Qui c'e' una spiegazione:

http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=n ... px=MTgzMjM

Come puoi leggere al fondo c'e' scritto:

"missing features right now are I/O scheduler support in blk-mq and mailine multi-path support."
Ovvero manca ancora il supporto per gli I/O scheduler.

Infatti se vai su /sys/block/sda/, noterai che c'e' una directory /sys/block/sda/mq/ che
prima non c'era.

A triggherare questo nuovo scheduler è l'opzione CONFIG_SCSI_MQ_DEFAULT, che
nel kernel 3.18.x di OMV/Rosa si è tirato dentro il valore CONFIG_SCSI_MQ_DEFAULT=y. Riportandola
a "# CONFIG_SCSI_MQ_DEFAULT is not set", le cose vengono riportate come prima
e il BFQ, come pure gli altri scheduler riaffiorano.

Ho provato a fare un build veloce con quella chiave disabilitata del 3.18.8 aggiornandolo al 3.18.9, e l'ho messo qui:

http://abf-downloads.rosalinux.ru/ghibo ... n/release/
http://abf-downloads.rosalinux.ru/ghibo ... n/release/

in cui ho disabilitato quell'opzione e il tutto sembra essere tornato ai valori pre Multiblock-queue (avevo
riabililitato il TOI).

Ho sentito anche il Valente poco fa, e secondo lui il multiblock dovrebbe abbassare la latenza e quindi
rendere superfluo lo scheduler. Tuttavia sembra che al momento questo sia falso e l'ha discusso anche al LinuxCon.
Il multiblock dovrebbe dare prestazioni migliori sopra il milione di OPS per dispositivi high-end, dove l'assenza
del multiblock rappresenterebbe un collo di bottiglia. Tuttavia, a detta di Paolo, sembra che al momento (magari miglioreranno in futuro),
le garanzie del multibock siano peggiori di quelle del deadline e in termini di latenza c'e' un bel disastro
(non mi stupirei che fosse anche la causa dei problemi dei trasferimenti USB di cui qui https://forums.openmandriva.org/en/disc ... 8-5#latest).

Ciao.

.........................................................................

Avevo da poco trovato e letto qualcosa circa il nuovo scheduler chiamato "Multiblock Queue I/O"

cambierò la chiave nel modo da te suggerito
# CONFIG_SCSI_MQ_DEFAULT is not set"

sperando questo possa risolvere anche i crash riscontrati durante i trasfer i/0 pesanti su usb


Per quanto riguarda il TOI, io l'avevo disattivato in quanto alcuni avevano riscontrato malfunzionamenti soprattutto durante le operazioni di hybernation o del suo successivo resume, fatto che io non ho potuto riprodurre in quanto sui miei portatili non avevo riscontrato alcun problema, a me funzionava bene tutto del TOI, ma leggendo le numerose lamentele al riguardo, avevo deciso momentaneamente di toglierlo per evitare questi problemi...


grazie,
ciao

A very good News for the Kernel 3.18 serie, with 3.18.9 it has been declared as LTS, that was really expected / hoped of me...
