      f2fs: refactor flush_nat_entries codes for reducing NAT writes · aec71382
      Chao Yu 提交于
      Although building NAT journal in cursum reduce the read/write work for NAT
      block, but previous design leave us lower performance when write checkpoint
      frequently for these cases:
      1. if journal in cursum has already full, it's a bit of waste that we flush all
         nat entries to page for persistence, but not to cache any entries.
      2. if journal in cursum is not full, we fill nat entries to journal util
         journal is full, then flush the left dirty entries to disk without merge
         journaled entries, so these journaled entries may be flushed to disk at next
         checkpoint but lost chance to flushed last time.
      
      In this patch we merge dirty entries located in same NAT block to nat entry set,
      and linked all set to list, sorted ascending order by entries' count of set.
      Later we flush entries in sparse set into journal as many as we can, and then
      flush merged entries to disk. In this way we can not only gain in performance,
      but also save lifetime of flash device.
      
      In my testing environment, it shows this patch can help to reduce NAT block
      writes obviously. In hard disk test case: cost time of fsstress is stablely
      reduced by about 5%.
      
      1. virtual machine + hard disk:
      fsstress -p 20 -n 200 -l 5
      		node num	cp count	nodes/cp
      based		4599.6		1803.0		2.551
      patched		2714.6		1829.6		1.483
      
      2. virtual machine + 32g micro SD card:
      fsstress -p 20 -n 200 -l 1 -w -f chown=0 -f creat=4 -f dwrite=0
      -f fdatasync=4 -f fsync=4 -f link=0 -f mkdir=4 -f mknod=4 -f rename=5
      -f rmdir=5 -f symlink=0 -f truncate=4 -f unlink=5 -f write=0 -S
      
      		node num	cp count	nodes/cp
      based		84.5		43.7		1.933
      patched		49.2		40.0		1.23
      
      Our latency of merging op shows not bad when handling extreme case like:
      merging a great number of dirty nats:
      latency(ns)	dirty nat count

       o fix wrong logic in add_nat_entry when grab a new nat entry set.
       o swith to create slab cache in create_node_manager_caches.
       o use GFP_ATOMIC instead of GFP_NOFS to avoid potential long latency.

      mm: non-atomically mark page accessed during page cache allocation where possible · 2457aec6
      Mel Gorman 提交于
      aops->write_begin may allocate a new page and make it visible only to have
      mark_page_accessed called almost immediately after.  Once the page is
      visible the atomic operations are necessary which is noticable overhead
      when writing to an in-memory filesystem like tmpfs but should also be
      noticable with fast storage.  The objective of the patch is to initialse
      the accessed information with non-atomic operations before the page is
      visible.
      
      The bulk of filesystems directly or indirectly use
      grab_cache_page_write_begin or find_or_create_page for the initial
      allocation of a page cache page.  This patch adds an init_page_accessed()
      helper which behaves like the first call to mark_page_accessed() but may
      called before the page is visible and can be done non-atomically.
      
      The primary APIs of concern in this care are the following and are used
      by most filesystems.
      
      	find_get_page
      	find_lock_page
      	find_or_create_page
      	grab_cache_page_nowait
      	grab_cache_page_write_begin
      
      All of them are very similar in detail to the patch creates a core helper
      pagecache_get_page() which takes a flags parameter that affects its
      behavior such as whether the page should be marked accessed or not.  Then
      old API is preserved but is basically a thin wrapper around this core
      function.
      
      Each of the filesystems are then updated to avoid calling
      mark_page_accessed when it is known that the VM interfaces have already
      done the job.  There is a slight snag in that the timing of the
      mark_page_accessed() has now changed so in rare cases it's possible a page
      gets to the end of the LRU as PageReferenced where as previously it might
      have been repromoted.  This is expected to be rare but it's worth the
      filesystem people thinking about it in case they see a problem with the
      timing change.  It is also the case that some filesystems may be marking
      pages accessed that previously did not but it makes sense that filesystems
      have consistent behaviour in this regard.
      
      The test case used to evaulate this is a simple dd of a large file done
      multiple times with the file deleted on each iterations.  The size of the
      file is 1/10th physical memory to avoid dirty page balancing.  In the
      async case it will be possible that the workload completes without even
      hitting the disk and will have variable results but highlight the impact
      of mark_page_accessed for async IO.  The sync results are expected to be
      more stable.  The exception is tmpfs where the normal case is for the "IO"
      to not hit the disk.
      
      The test machine was single socket and UMA to avoid any scheduling or NUMA
      artifacts.  Throughput and wall times are presented for sync IO, only wall
      times are shown for async as the granularity reported by dd and the
      variability is unsuitable for comparison.  As async results were variable
      do to writback timings, I'm only reporting the maximum figures.  The sync
      results were stable enough to make the mean and stddev uninteresting.
      
      The performance results are reported based on a run with no profiling.
      Profile data is based on a separate run with oprofile running.

      f2fs: avoid crash when trace f2fs_submit_page_mbio event in ra_sum_pages · bac4eef6
      Chao Yu 提交于
      Previously we allocate pages with no mapping in ra_sum_pages(), so we may
      encounter a crash in event trace of f2fs_submit_page_mbio where we access
      mapping data of the page.
      
      We'd better allocate pages in bd_inode mapping and invalidate these pages after
      we restore data from pages. It could avoid crash in above scenario.
      
      Changes from V1
       o remove redundant code in ra_sum_pages() suggested by Jaegeuk Kim.

      Chao Yu 提交于
      We should de-account dirty counters for page when redirty in ->writepage().
      
      Wu Fengguang described in 'commit 971767ca':
      "writeback: fix dirtied pages accounting on redirty
      De-account the accumulative dirty counters on page redirty.
      
      Page redirties (very common in ext4) will introduce mismatch between
      counters (a) and (b)
      
      a) NR_DIRTIED, BDI_DIRTIED, tsk->nr_dirtied
      b) NR_WRITTEN, BDI_WRITTEN
      
      This will introduce systematic errors in balanced_rate and result in
      dirty page position errors (ie. the dirty pages are no longer balanced
      around the global/bdi setpoints)."
