2014-01-08f2fs: add a sysfs entry to control max_victim_searchJaegeuk Kim1-0/+3
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 Signed-off-by: Jaegeuk Kim <jaegeuk.kim@samsung.com>
2014-01-08f2fs: improve write performance under frequent fsync callsJaegeuk Kim1-2/+2
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%. Signed-off-by: Jaegeuk Kim <jaegeuk.kim@samsung.com>

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.

2013-12-23f2fs: introduce a new direct_IO write pathJaegeuk Kim1-0/+2
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.

2013-12-23f2fs: introduce sysfs entry to control in-place-update policyJaegeuk Kim1-0/+3
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.

2013-12-23f2fs: merge pages with the same sync_mode flagFan Li1-3/+5
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.

Add new inode flags F2FS_INLINE_DATA and FI_INLINE_DATA to indicate whether the inode has inline data. Inline data makes use of inode block's data indices region to save small file. Currently there are 923 data indices in an inode block. Since inline xattr has made use of the last 50 indices to save its data, there are 873 indices left which can be used for inline data.

2013-12-23f2fs: introduce a bio array for per-page write biosJaegeuk Kim1-3/+9
The f2fs has three bio types, NODE, DATA, and META, and manages some data structures per each bio types. The codes are a little bit messy, thus, this patch introduces a bio array which groups individual data structures as follows. struct f2fs_bio_info { struct bio *bio; /* bios to merge */ sector_t last_block_in_bio; /* last block number */ struct mutex io_mutex; /* mutex for bio */ }; struct f2fs_sb_info { ... struct f2fs_bio_info write_io[NR_PAGE_TYPE]; /* for write bios */ ... }; The code changes from this new data structure are trivial.

However it conducts unnecessary cache operations if the file is highly fragmented with no valid extent cache. In such the case, we don't need to handle the extent cache, but just can disable the cache facility. Nevertheless, this patch gives one more chance to enable the extent cache. For example, 1. create a file 2. write data sequentially which produces a large valid extent cache 3. update some data, resulting in a fragmented extent 4. if the fragmented extent is too small, then drop extent cache 5. close the file 6. open the file again 7. give another chance to make a new extent cache 8. write data sequentially again which creates another big extent cache. ...

2013-10-18f2fs: avoid wait if IO end up when do_checkpoint for better performanceGu Zheng1-0/+1
Previously, do_checkpoint() will call congestion_wait() for waiting the pages (previous submitted node/meta/data pages) to be written back. Because congestion_wait() will set a regular period (e.g. HZ / 50 ) for waiting, and no additional wake up mechanism was introduced if IO ends up before regular period costed. Yuan Zhong found there is a situation that after the pages have been written back, but the checkpoint thread still wait for congestion_wait to exit. So here we store checkpoint task into f2fs_sb when doing checkpoint, it'll wait for IO completes if there's IO going on, and in the end IO path, wake up checkpoint task when IO ends up.

2013-10-07f2fs: use rw_sem instead of fs_lock(locks mutex)Gu Zheng1-42/+22
The fs_locks is used to block other ops(ex, recovery) when doing checkpoint. And each other operate routine(besides checkpoint) needs to acquire a fs_lock, there is a terrible problem here, if these are too many concurrency threads acquiring fs_lock, so that they will block each other and may lead to some performance problem, but this is not the phenomenon we want to see. Though there are some optimization patches introduced to enhance the usage of fs_lock, but the thorough solution is using a *rw_sem* to replace the fs_lock. Checkpoint routine takes write_sem, and other ops take read_sem, so that we can block other ops(ex, recovery) when doing checkpoint, and other ops will not disturb each other, this can avoid the problem described above completely. Because of the weakness of rw_sem, the above change may introduce a potential problem that the checkpoint thread might get starved if other threads are intensively locking the read semaphore for I/O.(Pointed out by Xu Jin) In order to avoid this, a wait_list is introduced, the appending read semaphore ops will be dropped into the wait_list if checkpoint thread is waiting for write semaphore, and will be waked up when checkpoint thread gives up write semaphore. Thanks to Kim's previous review and test, and will be very glad to see other guys' performance tests about this patch. V2: -fix the potential starvation problem. -use more suitable func name suggested by Xu Jin.

2013-09-24f2fs: optimize fs_lock for better performanceYu Chao1-2/+2
There is a performance problem: when all sbi->fs_lock are holded, then all the following threads may get the same next_lock value from sbi->next_lock_num in function mutex_lock_op, and wait for the same lock(fs_lock[next_lock]), it may cause performance reduce. So we move the sbi->next_lock_num++ before getting lock, this will average the following threads if all sbi->fs_lock are holded. v1-->v2: Drop the needless spin_lock as Jaegeuk suggested.
