Disk schedulers in current operating systems are generally work-conserving, i.e., they schedule a request as soon as the previous request has finished. Such schedulers often require multiple outstanding requests from each process to meet system-level goals of performance and quality of service. Unfortunately, many common applications issue disk read requests in a synchronous manner, interspersing successive requests with short periods of computation. The scheduler chooses the next request too early; this induces deceptive idleness, a condition where the scheduler incorrectly assumes that the last request issuing process has no further requests, and becomes forced to switch to a request from another process.We propose the anticipatory disk scheduling framework to solve this problem in a simple, general and transparent way, based on the non-work-conserving scheduling discipline. Our FreeBSD implementation is observed to yield large benefits on a range of microbenchmarks and real workloads. The Apache webserver delivers between 29% and 71% more throughput on a disk-intensive workload. The Andrew filesystem benchmark runs faster by 8%, due to a speedup of 54% in its read-intensive phase. Variants of the TPC-B database benchmark exhibit improvements between 2% and 60%. Proportional-share schedulers are seen to achieve their contracts accurately and efficiently.
