The inode eviction can be very slow, because during eviction we tell the VFS to truncate all of the inode's pages. This results in calls to btrfs_invalidatepage() which in turn does calls to lock_extent_bits() and clear_extent_bit(). These calls result in too many merges and splits of extent_state structures, which consume a lot of time and cpu when the inode has many pages. In some scenarios I have experienced umount times higher than 15 minutes, even when there's no pending IO (after a btrfs fs sync). A quick way to reproduce this issue: $ mkfs.btrfs -f /dev/sdb3 $ mount /dev/sdb3 /mnt/btrfs $ cd /mnt/btrfs $ sysbench --test=fileio --file-num=128 --file-total-size=16G \ --file-test-mode=seqwr --num-threads=128 \ --file-block-size=16384 --max-time=60 --max-requests=0 run $ time btrfs fi sync . FSSync '.' real 0m25.457s user 0m0.000s sys 0m0.092s $ cd .. $ time umount /mnt/btrfs real 1m38.234s user 0m0.000s sys 1m25.760s The same test on ext4 runs much faster: $ mkfs.ext4 /dev/sdb3 $ mount /dev/sdb3 /mnt/ext4 $ cd /mnt/ext4 $ sysbench --test=fileio --file-num=128 --file-total-size=16G \ --file-test-mode=seqwr --num-threads=128 \ --file-block-size=16384 --max-time=60 --max-requests=0 run $ sync $ cd .. $ time umount /mnt/ext4 real 0m3.626s user 0m0.004s sys 0m3.012s After this patch, the unmount (inode evictions) is much faster: $ mkfs.btrfs -f /dev/sdb3 $ mount /dev/sdb3 /mnt/btrfs $ cd /mnt/btrfs $ sysbench --test=fileio --file-num=128 --file-total-size=16G \ --file-test-mode=seqwr --num-threads=128 \ --file-block-size=16384 --max-time=60 --max-requests=0 run $ time btrfs fi sync . FSSync '.' real 0m26.774s user 0m0.000s sys 0m0.084s $ cd .. $ time umount /mnt/btrfs real 0m1.811s user 0m0.000s sys 0m1.564s Signed-off-by: NFilipe David Borba Manana <fdmanana@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: NJosef Bacik <jbacik@fb.com> Signed-off-by: NChris Mason <clm@fb.com>
