      ext4: track extent status tree shrinker delay statictics · eb68d0e2
      Zheng Liu 提交于
      This commit adds some statictics in extent status tree shrinker.  The
      purpose to add these is that we want to collect more details when we
      encounter a stall caused by extent status tree shrinker.  Here we count
      the following statictics:
        stats:
          the number of all objects on all extent status trees
          the number of reclaimable objects on lru list
          cache hits/misses
          the last sorted interval
          the number of inodes on lru list
        average:
          scan time for shrinking some objects
          the number of shrunk objects
        maximum:
          the inode that has max nr. of objects on lru list
          the maximum scan time for shrinking some objects
      
      The output looks like below:
        $ cat /proc/fs/ext4/sda1/es_shrinker_info
        stats:
          28228 objects
          6341 reclaimable objects
          5281/631 cache hits/misses
          586 ms last sorted interval
          250 inodes on lru list
        average:
          153 us scan time
          128 shrunk objects
        maximum:
          255 inode (255 objects, 198 reclaimable)
          125723 us max scan time
      
      If the lru list has never been sorted, the following line will not be
      printed:
          586ms last sorted interval
      If there is an empty lru list, the following lines also will not be
      printed:
          250 inodes on lru list
        ...
        maximum:
          255 inode (255 objects, 198 reclaimable)
          0 us max scan time
      
      Meanwhile in this commit a new trace point is defined to print some
      details in __ext4_es_shrink().

      ext4: isolate ext4_extents.h file · d7b2a00c
      Zheng Liu 提交于
      After applied the commit (4a092d73), we have reduced the number of
      source files that need to #include ext4_extents.h.  But we can do
      better.
      
      This commit defines ext4_zeroout_es() in extents.c and move
      EXT_MAX_BLOCKS into ext4.h in order not to include ext4_extents.h in
      indirect.c and ioctl.c.  Meanwhile we just need to include this file in
      extent_status.c when ES_AGGRESSIVE_TEST is defined.  Otherwise, this
      commit removes a duplicated declaration in trace/events/ext4.h.
      
      After applied this patch, we just need to include ext4_extents.h file
      in {super,migrate,move_extents,extents}.c, and it is easy for us to
      define a new extent disk layout.

      ext4: improve extent cache shrink mechanism to avoid to burn CPU time · d3922a77
      Zheng Liu 提交于
      Now we maintain an proper in-order LRU list in ext4 to reclaim entries
      from extent status tree when we are under heavy memory pressure.  For
      keeping this order, a spin lock is used to protect this list.  But this
      lock burns a lot of CPU time.  We can use the following steps to trigger
      it.
      
        % cd /dev/shm
        % dd if=/dev/zero of=ext4-img bs=1M count=2k
        % mkfs.ext4 ext4-img
        % mount -t ext4 -o loop ext4-img /mnt
        % cd /mnt
        % for ((i=0;i<160;i++)); do truncate -s 64g $i; done
        % for ((i=0;i<160;i++)); do cp $i /dev/null &; done
        % perf record -a -g
        % perf report
      
      This commit tries to fix this problem.  Now a new member called
      i_touch_when is added into ext4_inode_info to record the last access
      time for an inode.  Meanwhile we never need to keep a proper in-order
      LRU list.  So this can avoid to burns some CPU time.  When we try to
      reclaim some entries from extent status tree, we use list_sort() to get
      a proper in-order list.  Then we traverse this list to discard some
      entries.  In ext4_sb_info, we use s_es_last_sorted to record the last
      time of sorting this list.  When we traverse the list, we skip the inode
      that is newer than this time, and move this inode to the tail of LRU
      list.  When the head of the list is newer than s_es_last_sorted, we will
      sort the LRU list again.
      
      In this commit, we break the loop if s_extent_cache_cnt == 0 because
      that means that all extents in extent status tree have been reclaimed.
      
      Meanwhile in this commit, ext4_es_{un}register_shrinker()'s prototype is
      changed to save a local variable in these functions.

      ext4: fix fio regression · e30b5dca
      Yan, Zheng 提交于
      We (Linux Kernel Performance project) found a regression introduced
      by commit:
      
        f7fec032 ext4: track all extent status in extent status tree
      
      The commit causes about 20% performance decrease in fio random write
      test. Profiler shows that rb_next() uses a lot of CPU time. The call
      stack is:
      
        rb_next
        ext4_es_find_delayed_extent
        ext4_map_blocks
        _ext4_get_block
        ext4_get_block_write
        __blockdev_direct_IO
        ext4_direct_IO
        generic_file_direct_write
        __generic_file_aio_write
        ext4_file_write
        aio_rw_vect_retry
        aio_run_iocb
        do_io_submit
        sys_io_submit
        system_call_fastpath
        io_submit
        td_io_getevents
        io_u_queued_complete
        thread_main
        main
        __libc_start_main
      
      The cause is that ext4_es_find_delayed_extent() doesn't have an
      upper bound, it keeps searching until a delayed extent is found.
      When there are a lots of non-delayed entries in the extent state
      tree, ext4_es_find_delayed_extent() may uses a lot of CPU time.

      ext4: update extent status tree after an extent is zeroed out · adb23551
      Zheng Liu 提交于
      When we try to split an extent, this extent could be zeroed out and mark
      as initialized.  But we don't know this in ext4_map_blocks because it
      only returns a length of allocated extent.  Meanwhile we will mark this
      extent as uninitialized because we only check m_flags.
      
      This commit update extent status tree when we try to split an unwritten
      extent.  We don't need to worry about the status of this extent because
      we always mark it as initialized.

      ext4: reclaim extents from extent status tree · 74cd15cd
      Zheng Liu 提交于
      Although extent status is loaded on-demand, we also need to reclaim
      extent from the tree when we are under a heavy memory pressure because
      in some cases fragmented extent tree causes status tree costs too much
      memory.
      
      Here we maintain a lru list in super_block.  When the extent status of
      an inode is accessed and changed, this inode will be move to the tail
      of the list.  The inode will be dropped from this list when it is
      cleared.  In the inode, a counter is added to count the number of
      cached objects in extent status tree.  Here only written/unwritten/hole
      extent is counted because delayed extent doesn't be reclaimed due to
      fiemap, bigalloc and seek_data/hole need it.  The counter will be
      increased as a new extent is allocated, and it will be decreased as a
      extent is freed.
      
      In this commit we use normal shrinker framework to reclaim memory from
      the status tree.  ext4_es_reclaim_extents_count() traverses the lru list
      to count the number of reclaimable extents.  ext4_es_shrink() tries to
      reclaim written/unwritten/hole extents from extent status tree.  The
      inode that has been shrunk is moved to the tail of lru list.

      ext4: lookup block mapping in extent status tree · d100eef2
      Zheng Liu 提交于
      After tracking all extent status, we already have a extent cache in
      memory.  Every time we want to lookup a block mapping, we can first
      try to lookup it in extent status tree to avoid a potential disk I/O.
      
      A new function called ext4_es_lookup_extent is defined to finish this
      work.  When we try to lookup a block mapping, we always call
      ext4_map_blocks and/or ext4_da_map_blocks.  So in these functions we
      first try to lookup a block mapping in extent status tree.
      
      A new flag EXT4_GET_BLOCKS_NO_PUT_HOLE is used in ext4_da_map_blocks
      in order not to put a hole into extent status tree because this hole
      will be converted to delayed extent in the tree immediately.

      This commit adds two members in extent_status structure to let it record
      physical block and extent status.  Here es_pblk is used to record both
      of them because physical block only has 48 bits.  So extent status could
      be stashed into it so that we can save some memory.  Now written,
      unwritten, delayed and hole are defined as status.
