      f2fs: add a sysfs entry to control max_victim_search · b1c57c1c
      Jaegeuk Kim authored
      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:
        /sys/fs/f2fs/$dev/max_victim_search

      f2fs: improve write performance under frequent fsync calls · fb5566da
      Jaegeuk Kim authored
      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%.

      4. ftruncate offset 8192
      5. read 4096 bytes from offset 4096
      	(we meet this updated page with inline data in cache)
      
      So we should leave this page with inited data and uptodate flag

      f2fs: fix truncate_partial_nodes bug · a225dca3
      shifei10.ge authored
      The truncate_partial_nodes puts pages incorrectly in the following two cases.
      Note that the value for argc 'depth' can only be 2 or 3.
      Please see truncate_inode_blocks() and truncate_partial_nodes().
      
      1) An err is occurred in the first 'for' loop
        When err is occurred with depth = 2, pages[0] is invalid, so this page doesn't
        need to be put. There is no problem, however, when depth is 3, it doesn't put
        the pages correctly where pages[0] is valid and pages[1] is invalid.
        In this case, depth is set to 2 (ref to statemnt depth = i + 1), and then
        'goto fail'.
        In label 'fail', for (i = depth - 3; i >= 0; i--) cannot meet the condition
        because i = -1, so pages[0] cann't be put.
      
      2) An err happened in the second 'for' loop
        Now we've got pages[0] with depth = 2, or we've got pages[0] and pages[1]
        with depth = 3. When an err is detected, we need 'goto fail' to put such
        the pages.
        When depth is 2, in label 'fail', for (i = depth - 3; i >= 0; i--) cann't
        meet the condition because i = -1, so pages[0] cann't be put.
        When depth is 3, in label 'fail', for (i = depth - 3; i >= 0; i--) can
        only put pages[0], pages[1] also cann't be put.
      
      Note that 'depth' has been changed before first 'goto fail' (ref to statemnt
      depth = i + 1), so passing this modified 'depth' to the tracepoint,
      trace_f2fs_truncate_partial_nodes, is also incorrect.

      f2fs: handle errors correctly during f2fs_reserve_block · a8865372
      Jaegeuk Kim authored
      The get_dnode_of_data nullifies inode and node page when error is occurred.
      
      There are two cases that passes inode page into get_dnode_of_data().
      
      1. make_empty_dir()
          -> get_new_data_page()
            -> f2fs_reserve_block(ipage)
      	-> get_dnode_of_data()
      
      2. f2fs_convert_inline_data()
          -> __f2fs_convert_inline_data()
            -> f2fs_reserve_block(ipage)
      	-> get_dnode_of_data()
      
      This patch adds correct error handling codes when get_dnode_of_data() returns
      an error.
      
      At first, f2fs_reserve_block() calls f2fs_put_dnode() whenever reserve_new_block
      returns an error.
      So, the rule of f2fs_reserve_block() is to nullify inode page when there is any
      error internally.
      
      Finally, two callers of f2fs_reserve_block() should call f2fs_put_dnode()
      appropriately if they got an error since successful f2fs_reserve_block().

      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: handle inline data operations · 9ffe0fb5
      Huajun Li authored
      Hook inline data read/write, truncate, fallocate, setattr, etc.
      
      Files need meet following 2 requirement to inline:
       1) file size is not greater than MAX_INLINE_DATA;
       2) file doesn't pre-allocate data blocks by fallocate().
      
      FI_INLINE_DATA will not be set while creating a new regular inode because
      most of the files are bigger than ~3.4K. Set FI_INLINE_DATA only when
      data is submitted to block layer, ranther than set it while creating a new
      inode, this also avoids converting data from inline to normal data block
      and vice versa.
      
      While writting inline data to inode block, the first data block should be
      released if the file has a block indexed by i_addr[0].
      
      On the other hand, when a file operation is appied to a file with inline
      data, we need to test if this file can remain inline by doing this
      operation, otherwise it should be convert into normal file by reserving
      a new data block, copying inline data to this new block and clear
      FI_INLINE_DATA flag. Because reserve a new data block here will make use
      of i_addr[0], if we save inline data in i_addr[0..872], then the first
      4 bytes would be overwriten. This problem can be avoided simply by
      not using i_addr[0] for inline data.

      v3:
        Use 'bool' rather than 'int' as Kim suggested.
      
      v2:
        Use 'is_read' rather than 'rw' as Yu Chao suggested.
        Remove the needless initialization of bio->bi_private.

      f2fs: write dirty meta pages collectively · 5459aa97
      Jaegeuk Kim authored
      This patch enhances writing dirty meta pages collectively in background.
      During the file data writes, it'd better avoid to write small dirty meta pages
      frequently.
      So let's give a chance to collect a number of dirty meta pages for a while.

      f2fs: introduce a new direct_IO write path · bfad7c2d
      Jaegeuk Kim authored
      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 authored
      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.
      
      For more details, see need_inplace_update() in segment.h.

      f2fs: merge pages with the same sync_mode flag · 63a0b7cb
      Fan Li authored
      Previously f2fs submits most of write requests using WRITE_SYNC, but f2fs_write_data_pages
      submits last write requests by sync_mode flags callers pass.
      
      This causes a performance problem since continuous pages with different sync flags
      can't be merged in cfq IO scheduler(thanks yu chao for pointing it out), and synchronous
      requests often take more time.
      
      This patch makes the following modifies to DATA writebacks:
      
      1. every page will be written back using the sync mode caller pass.
      2. only pages with the same sync mode can be merged in one bio request.
      
      These changes are restricted to DATA pages.Other types of writebacks are modified
      To remain synchronous.
      
      In my test with tiotest, f2fs sequence write performance is improved by about 7%-10% ,
      and this patch has no obvious impact on other performance tests.

      The basic rule is to add that when:
      - checking unusual errors,
      - checking page mappings,
      - and the other unlikely conditions.
      
      Change log from v1:
       - Don't add unlikely for the NULL test and error test: advised by Andi Kleen.

      f2fs: add unlikely() macro for compiler optimization · cfb271d4
      Chao Yu authored
      As we know, some of our branch condition will rarely be true. So we could add
      'unlikely' to let compiler optimize these code, by this way we could drop
      unneeded 'jump' assemble code to improve performance.
      
      change log:
       o add *unlikely* as many as possible across the whole source files at once
         suggested by Jaegeuk Kim.
