From e2127cf008be01c6aa9db463470c0668a85d6fe4 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Filipe Manana Date: Sat, 1 Mar 2014 10:57:03 +0000 Subject: Btrfs: make defrag not fragment files when using prealloc extents When using prealloc extents, a file defragment operation may actually fragment the file and increase the amount of data space used by the file. This change fixes that behaviour. Example: $ mkfs.btrfs -f /dev/sdb3 $ mount /dev/sdb3 /mnt $ cd /mnt $ xfs_io -f -c 'falloc 0 1048576' foobar && sync $ xfs_io -c 'pwrite -S 0xff -b 100000 5000 100000' foobar $ xfs_io -c 'pwrite -S 0xac -b 100000 200000 100000' foobar $ xfs_io -c 'pwrite -S 0xe1 -b 100000 900000 100000' foobar && sync Before defragmenting the file: $ btrfs filesystem df /mnt Data, single: total=8.00MiB, used=1.25MiB System, DUP: total=8.00MiB, used=16.00KiB System, single: total=4.00MiB, used=0.00 Metadata, DUP: total=1.00GiB, used=112.00KiB Metadata, single: total=8.00MiB, used=0.00 $ btrfs-debug-tree /dev/sdb3 (...) item 6 key (257 EXTENT_DATA 0) itemoff 15810 itemsize 53 prealloc data disk byte 12845056 nr 1048576 prealloc data offset 0 nr 4096 item 7 key (257 EXTENT_DATA 4096) itemoff 15757 itemsize 53 extent data disk byte 12845056 nr 1048576 extent data offset 4096 nr 102400 ram 1048576 extent compression 0 item 8 key (257 EXTENT_DATA 106496) itemoff 15704 itemsize 53 prealloc data disk byte 12845056 nr 1048576 prealloc data offset 106496 nr 90112 item 9 key (257 EXTENT_DATA 196608) itemoff 15651 itemsize 53 extent data disk byte 12845056 nr 1048576 extent data offset 196608 nr 106496 ram 1048576 extent compression 0 item 10 key (257 EXTENT_DATA 303104) itemoff 15598 itemsize 53 prealloc data disk byte 12845056 nr 1048576 prealloc data offset 303104 nr 593920 item 11 key (257 EXTENT_DATA 897024) itemoff 15545 itemsize 53 extent data disk byte 12845056 nr 1048576 extent data offset 897024 nr 106496 ram 1048576 extent compression 0 item 12 key (257 EXTENT_DATA 1003520) itemoff 15492 itemsize 53 prealloc data disk byte 12845056 nr 1048576 prealloc data offset 1003520 nr 45056 (...) Now defragmenting the file results in more data space used than before: $ btrfs filesystem defragment -f foobar && sync $ btrfs filesystem df /mnt Data, single: total=8.00MiB, used=1.55MiB System, DUP: total=8.00MiB, used=16.00KiB System, single: total=4.00MiB, used=0.00 Metadata, DUP: total=1.00GiB, used=112.00KiB Metadata, single: total=8.00MiB, used=0.00 And the corresponding file extent items are now no longer perfectly sequential as before, and we're now needlessly using more space from data block groups: $ btrfs-debug-tree /dev/sdb3 (...) item 6 key (257 EXTENT_DATA 0) itemoff 15810 itemsize 53 extent data disk byte 12845056 nr 1048576 extent data offset 0 nr 4096 ram 1048576 extent compression 0 item 7 key (257 EXTENT_DATA 4096) itemoff 15757 itemsize 53 extent data disk byte 13893632 nr 102400 extent data offset 0 nr 102400 ram 102400 extent compression 0 item 8 key (257 EXTENT_DATA 106496) itemoff 15704 itemsize 53 extent data disk byte 12845056 nr 1048576 extent data offset 106496 nr 90112 ram 1048576 extent compression 0 item 9 key (257 EXTENT_DATA 196608) itemoff 15651 itemsize 53 extent data disk byte 13996032 nr 106496 extent data offset 0 nr 106496 ram 106496 extent compression 0 item 10 key (257 EXTENT_DATA 303104) itemoff 15598 itemsize 53 prealloc data disk byte 12845056 nr 1048576 prealloc data offset 303104 nr 593920 item 11 key (257 EXTENT_DATA 897024) itemoff 15545 itemsize 53 extent data disk byte 14102528 nr 106496 extent data offset 0 nr 106496 ram 106496 extent compression 0 item 12 key (257 EXTENT_DATA 1003520) itemoff 15492 itemsize 53 extent data disk byte 12845056 nr 1048576 extent data offset 1003520 nr 45056 ram 1048576 extent compression 0 (...) With this change, the above example will no longer cause allocation of new data space nor change the sequentiality of the file extents, that is, defragment will be effectless, leaving all extent items pointing to the extent starting at disk byte 12845056. In a 20Gb filesystem I had, mounted with the autodefrag option and 20 files of 400Mb each, initially consisting of a single prealloc extent of 400Mb, having random writes happening at a low rate, lead to a total of over ~17Gb of data space used, not far from eventually reaching an ENOSPC state.
