btrfs: add the beginning of async discard, discard workqueue
When discard is enabled, everytime a pinned extent is released back to the block_group's free space cache, a discard is issued for the extent. This is an overeager approach when it comes to discarding and helping the SSD maintain enough free space to prevent severe garbage collection situations. This adds the beginning of async discard. Instead of issuing a discard prior to returning it to the free space, it is just marked as untrimmed. The block_group is then added to a LRU which then feeds into a workqueue to issue discards at a much slower rate. Full discarding of unused block groups is still done and will be addressed in a future patch of the series. For now, we don't persist the discard state of extents and bitmaps. Therefore, our failure recovery mode will be to consider extents untrimmed. This lets us handle failure and unmounting as one in the same. On a number of Facebook webservers, I collected data every minute accounting the time we spent in btrfs_finish_extent_commit() (col. 1) and in btrfs_commit_transaction() (col. 2). btrfs_finish_extent_commit() is where we discard extents synchronously before returning them to the free space cache. discard=sync: p99 total per minute p99 total per minute Drive | extent_commit() (ms) | commit_trans() (ms) --------------------------------------------------------------- Drive A | 434 | 1170 Drive B | 880 | 2330 Drive C | 2943 | 3920 Drive D | 4763 | 5701 discard=async: p99 total per minute p99 total per minute Drive | extent_commit() (ms) | commit_trans() (ms) -------------------------------------------------------------- Drive A | 134 | 956 Drive B | 64 | 1972 Drive C | 59 | 1032 Drive D | 62 | 1200 While it's not great that the stats are cumulative over 1m, all of these servers are running the same workload and and the delta between the two are substantial. We are spending significantly less time in btrfs_finish_extent_commit() which is responsible for discarding.
