      f2fs: skip unnecessary node writes during fsync · 479f40c4
      Jaegeuk Kim 提交于
      If multiple redundant fsync calls are triggered, we don't need to write its
      node pages with fsync mark continuously.
      
      So, this patch adds FI_NEED_FSYNC to track whether the latest node block is
      written with the fsync mark or not.
      If the mark was set, a new fsync doesn't need to write a node block.
      Otherwise, we should do a new node block with the mark for roll-forward
      recovery.

      pino, i_nlink.
      This enables to remove i_mutex during f2fs_sync_file, resulting in performance

      f2fs: throttle the memory footprint with a sysfs entry · cdfc41c1
      Jaegeuk Kim 提交于
      This patch introduces ram_thresh, a sysfs entry, which controls the memory
      footprint used by the free nid list and the nat cache.
      
      Previously, the free nid list was controlled by MAX_FREE_NIDS, while the nat
      cache was managed by NM_WOUT_THRESHOLD.
      However, this approach cannot be applied dynamically according to the system.
      
      So, this patch adds ram_thresh that users can specify the threshold, which is
      in order of 1 / 1024.
      For example, if the total ram size is 4GB and the value is set to 10 by default,
      f2fs tries to control the number of free nids and nat caches not to consume over
      10 * (4GB / 1024) = 10MB.

      f2fs: introduce large directory support · 38431545
      Jaegeuk Kim 提交于
      This patch introduces an i_dir_level field to support large directory.
      
      Previously, f2fs maintains multi-level hash tables to find a dentry quickly
      from a bunch of chiild dentries in a directory, and the hash tables consist of
      the following tree structure as below.
      
      In Documentation/filesystems/f2fs.txt,
      
      ----------------------
      A : bucket
      B : block
      N : MAX_DIR_HASH_DEPTH
      ----------------------
      
      level #0   | A(2B)
                 |
      level #1   | A(2B) - A(2B)
                 |
      level #2   | A(2B) - A(2B) - A(2B) - A(2B)
           .     |   .       .       .       .
      level #N/2 | A(2B) - A(2B) - A(2B) - A(2B) - A(2B) - ... - A(2B)
           .     |   .       .       .       .
      level #N   | A(4B) - A(4B) - A(4B) - A(4B) - A(4B) - ... - A(4B)
      
      But, if we can guess that a directory will handle a number of child files,
      we don't need to traverse the tree from level #0 to #N all the time.
      Since the lower level tables contain relatively small number of dentries,
      the miss ratio of the target dentry is likely to be high.
      
      In order to avoid that, we can configure the hash tables sparsely from level #0
      like this.
      
      level #0   | A(2B) - A(2B) - A(2B) - A(2B)
      
      level #1   | A(2B) - A(2B) - A(2B) - A(2B) - A(2B) - ... - A(2B)
           .     |   .       .       .       .
      level #N/2 | A(2B) - A(2B) - A(2B) - A(2B) - A(2B) - ... - A(2B)
           .     |   .       .       .       .
      level #N   | A(4B) - A(4B) - A(4B) - A(4B) - A(4B) - ... - A(4B)
      
      With this structure, we can skip the ineffective tree searches in lower level
      hash tables.
      
      This patch adds just a facility for this by introducing i_dir_level in
      f2fs_inode.

      f2fs: add a sysfs entry to control max_victim_search · b1c57c1c
      Jaegeuk Kim 提交于
      Previously during SSR and GC, the maximum number of retrials to find a victim
      segment was hard-coded by MAX_VICTIM_SEARCH, 4096 by default.
      
      This number makes an effect on IO locality, when SSR mode is activated, which
      results in performance fluctuation on some low-end devices.
      
      If max_victim_search = 4, the victim will be searched like below.
      ("D" represents a dirty segment, and "*" indicates a selected victim segment.)
      
       D1 D2 D3 D4 D5 D6 D7 D8 D9
      [   *       ]
            [   *    ]
                  [         * ]
      	                [ ....]
      
      This patch adds a sysfs entry to control the number dynamically through:

      f2fs: improve write performance under frequent fsync calls · fb5566da
      Jaegeuk Kim 提交于
      When considering a bunch of data writes with very frequent fsync calls, we
      are able to think the following performance regression.
      
      N: Node IO, D: Data IO, IO scheduler: cfq
      
      Issue    pending IOs
      	 D1 D2 D3 D4
       D1         D2 D3 D4 N1
       D2            D3 D4 N1 N2
       N1            D3 D4 N2 D1
       --> N1 can be selected by cfq becase of the same priority of N and D.
           Then D3 and D4 would be delayed, resuling in performance degradation.
      
      So, when processing the fsync call, it'd better give higher priority to data IOs
      than node IOs by assigning WRITE and WRITE_SYNC respectively.
      This patch improves the random wirte performance with frequent fsync calls by up
      to 10%.

      Change log from v1:
       o handle NULL pointer of grab_cache_page_write_begin() pointed by Chao Yu.
      
      This patch refactors f2fs_convert_inline_data to check a couple of conditions
      internally for deciding whether it needs to convert inline_data or not.
      
      So, the new f2fs_convert_inline_data initially checks:
      1) f2fs_has_inline_data(), and
      2) the data size to be changed.
      
      If the inode has inline_data but the size to fill is less than MAX_INLINE_DATA,
      then we don't need to convert the inline_data with data allocation.

      f2fs: introduce a new direct_IO write path · bfad7c2d
      Jaegeuk Kim 提交于
      Previously, f2fs doesn't support direct IOs with high performance, which throws
      every write requests via the buffered write path, resulting in highly
      performance degradation due to memory opeations like copy_from_user.
      
      This patch introduces a new direct IO path in which every write requests are
      processed by generic blockdev_direct_IO() with enhanced get_block function.
      
      The get_data_block() in f2fs handles:
      1. if original data blocks are allocates, then give them to blockdev.
      2. otherwise,
        a. preallocate requested block addresses
        b. do not use extent cache for better performance
        c. give the block addresses to blockdev
      
      This policy induces that:
      - new allocated data are sequentially written to the disk
      - updated data are randomly written to the disk.
      - f2fs gives consistency on its file meta, not file data.

      f2fs: introduce sysfs entry to control in-place-update policy · 216fbd64
      Jaegeuk Kim 提交于
      This patch introduces new sysfs entries for users to control the policy of
      in-place-updates, namely IPU, in f2fs.
      
      Sometimes f2fs suffers from performance degradation due to its out-of-place
      update policy that produces many additional node block writes.
      If the storage performance is very dependant on the amount of data writes
      instead of IO patterns, we'd better drop this out-of-place update policy.
      
      This patch suggests 5 polcies and their triggering conditions as follows.
      
      [sysfs entry name = ipu_policy]
      
      0: F2FS_IPU_FORCE       all the time,
      1: F2FS_IPU_SSR         if SSR mode is activated,
      2: F2FS_IPU_UTIL        if FS utilization is over threashold,
      3: F2FS_IPU_SSR_UTIL    if SSR mode is activated and FS utilization is over
                              threashold,
      4: F2FS_IPU_DISABLE    disable IPU. (=default option)
      
      [sysfs entry name = min_ipu_util]
      
      This parameter controls the threshold to trigger in-place-updates.
      The number indicates percentage of the filesystem utilization, and used by
      F2FS_IPU_UTIL and F2FS_IPU_SSR_UTIL policies.
