[Bug 821610] Re: ionice doesn't nice the complete writing process

 

Thank you for taking the time to file a bug report on this issue.

However, given the number of bugs that the Kernel Team receives during
any development cycle it is impossible for us to review them all.
Therefore, we occasionally resort to using automated bots to request
further testing. This is such a request.

  With the recent release of this Ubuntu release, would like to confirm
if this bug is still present. Please test again with the newer kernel
and indicate in the bug if this issue still exists or not.

You can update to the latest development kernel by simply running the
following commands in a terminal window:

    sudo apt-get update
    sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

If the bug still exists, change the bug status from Incomplete to
Confirmed. If the bug no longer exists, change the bug status from
Incomplete to Fix Released.

If you want this bot to quit automatically requesting kernel tests, add
a tag named: bot-stop-nagging.

 Thank you for your help, we really do appreciate it.


** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu)
       Status: Confirmed => Incomplete

** Tags added: kernel-request-3.13.0-24.46

Title:
  ionice doesn't nice the complete writing process

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  I'm using Ubuntu 11.10 dev. I'm starting apache with the command "chrt -i 0 ionice -c 3 /usr/sbin/apache2ctl". On my system is full data journaling enabled. Theoretically if apache or a child process from apache is writing something to the disk it shouldn't affect any other applications like games because apache has the lowest cpu and I/O priority possible. But sometimes a child process from apache is writing a lot to my disk and I can't do much at this time anymore. If I play a game it is freezing every second and unplayable. If I disable full data journaling it is much better. This is why I think the [jdb2/sda1-8] process doesn't inherit the nice/ionice from the writing process.
