As discussed in [1], 'sbi->s_journal_bdev != sb->s_bdev' will always become true if sbi->s_journal_bdev exists. Filesystem block device and journal block device are both opened with 'FMODE_EXCL' mode, so these two devices can't be same one. Then we can remove the redundant checking 'sbi->s_journal_bdev != sb->s_bdev' if 'sbi->s_journal_bdev' exists.

We've had reports of significant performance regression of sub-block (unaligned) direct writes due to the added exclusivity restrictions in ext4. The purpose of the exclusivity requirement for unaligned direct writes is to avoid data corruption caused by unserialized partial block zeroing in the iomap dio layer across overlapping writes. XFS has similar requirements for the same underlying reasons, yet doesn't suffer the extreme performance regression that ext4 does. The reason for this is that XFS utilizes IOMAP_DIO_OVERWRITE_ONLY mode, which allows for optimistic submission of concurrent unaligned I/O and kicks back writes that require partial block zeroing such that they can be submitted in a safe, exclusive context. Since ext4 already performs most of these checks pre-submission, it can support something similar without necessarily relying on the iomap flag and associated retry mechanism. Update the dio write submission path to allow concurrent submission of unaligned direct writes that are purely overwrite and so will not require block zeroing. To improve readability of the various related checks, move the unaligned I/O handling down into ext4_dio_write_checks(), where the dio draining and force wait logic can immediately follow the locking requirement checks. Finally, the IOMAP_DIO_OVERWRITE_ONLY flag is set to enable a warning check as a precaution should the ext4 overwrite logic ever become inconsistent with the zeroing expectations of iomap dio. The performance improvement of sub-block direct write I/O is shown in the following fio test on a 64xcpu guest vm: Test: fio --name=test --ioengine=libaio --direct=1 --group_reporting --overwrite=1 --thread --size=10G --filename=/mnt/fio --readwrite=write --ramp_time=10s --runtime=60s --numjobs=8 --blocksize=2k --iodepth=256 --allow_file_create=0 v6.2: write: IOPS=4328, BW=8724KiB/s v6.2 (patched): write: IOPS=801k, BW=1565MiB/s Signed-off-by:

If __es_remove_extent() returns an error it means that when splitting extent, allocating an extent that must be kept failed, where returning an error directly would cause the extent tree to be inconsistent. So we use GFP_NOFAIL to pre-allocate an extent_status and pass it to __es_remove_extent() to avoid this problem. In addition, since the allocated memory is outside the i_es_lock, the extent_status tree may change and the pre-allocated extent_status is no longer needed, so we release the pre-allocated extent_status when es->es_len is not initialized.

When splitting extent, if the second extent can not be dropped, we return -ENOMEM and use GFP_NOFAIL to preallocate an extent_status outside of i_es_lock and pass it to __es_remove_extent() to be used as the second extent. This ensures that __es_remove_extent() is executed successfully, thus ensuring consistency in the extent status tree. If the second extent is not undroppable, we simply drop it and return 0. Then retry is no longer necessary, remove it. Now, __es_remove_extent() will always remove what it should, maybe more. Suggested-by:

Factor out __es_alloc_extent() and __es_free_extent(), which only allocate and free extent_status in these two helpers. The ext4_es_alloc_extent() function is split into __es_alloc_extent() and ext4_es_init_extent(). In __es_alloc_extent() we allocate memory using GFP_KERNEL | __GFP_NOFAIL | __GFP_ZERO if the memory allocation cannot fail, otherwise we use GFP_ATOMIC. and the ext4_es_init_extent() is used to initialize extent_status and update related variables after a successful allocation. This is to prepare for the use of pre-allocated extent_status later. Signed-off-by:

In the extent status tree, we have extents which we can just drop without issues and extents we must not drop - this depends on the extent's status - currently ext4_es_is_delayed() extents must stay, others may be dropped.

In our fault injection test, we create an ext4 file, migrate it to non-extent based file, then punch a hole and finally trigger a WARN_ON in the ext4_da_update_reserve_space(): EXT4-fs warning (device sda): ext4_da_update_reserve_space:369: ino 14, used 11 with only 10 reserved data blocks When writing back a non-extent based file, if we enable delalloc, the number of reserved blocks will be subtracted from the number of blocks mapped by ext4_ind_map_blocks(), and the extent status tree will be updated. We update the extent status tree by first removing the old extent_status and then inserting the new extent_status. If the block range we remove happens to be in an extent, then we need to allocate another extent_status with ext4_es_alloc_extent(). use old to remove to add new |----------|------------|------------| old extent_status The problem is that the allocation of a new extent_status failed due to a fault injection, and __es_shrink() did not get free memory, resulting in a return of -ENOMEM. Then do_writepages() retries after receiving -ENOMEM, we map to the same extent again, and the number of reserved blocks is again subtracted from the number of blocks in that extent. Since the blocks in the same extent are subtracted twice, we end up triggering WARN_ON at ext4_da_update_reserve_space() because used > ei->i_reserved_data_blocks. For non-extent based file, we update the number of reserved blocks after ext4_ind_map_blocks() is executed, which causes a problem that when we call ext4_ind_map_blocks() to create a block, it doesn't always create a block, but we always reduce the number of reserved blocks. So we move the logic for updating reserved blocks to ext4_ind_map_blocks() to ensure that the number of reserved blocks is updated only after we do succeed in allocating some new blocks.

mballoc criterias have historically been called by numbers like CR0, CR1... however this makes it confusing to understand what each criteria is about. Change these criterias from numbers to symbolic names and add relevant comments. While we are at it, also reformat and add some comments to ext4_seq_mb_stats_show() for better readability. Additionally, define CR_FAST which signifies the criteria below which we can make quicker decisions like: * quitting early if (free block < requested len) * avoiding to scan free extents smaller than required len. * avoiding to initialize buddy cache and work with existing cache * limiting prefetches Suggested-by:

CR1_5 aims to optimize allocations which can't be satisfied in CR1. The fact that we couldn't find a group in CR1 suggests that it would be difficult to find a continuous extent to compleltely satisfy our allocations. So before falling to the slower CR2, in CR1.5 we proactively trim the the preallocations so we can find a group with (free / fragments) big enough. This speeds up our allocation at the cost of slightly reduced preallocation. The patch also adds a new sysfs tunable: * /sys/fs/ext4/<partition>/mb_cr1_5_max_trim_order This controls how much CR1.5 can trim a request before falling to CR2. For example, for a request of order 7 and max trim order 2, CR1.5 can trim this upto order 5. Suggested-by:

Before this patch, the call stack in ext4_run_li_request is as follows: /* * nr = no. of BGs we want to fetch (=s_mb_prefetch) * prefetch_ios = no. of BGs not uptodate after * ext4_read_block_bitmap_nowait() */ next_group = ext4_mb_prefetch(sb, group, nr, prefetch_ios); ext4_mb_prefetch_fini(sb, next_group prefetch_ios); ext4_mb_prefetch_fini() will only try to initialize buddies for BGs in range [next_group - prefetch_ios, next_group). This is incorrect since sometimes (prefetch_ios < nr), which causes ext4_mb_prefetch_fini() to incorrectly ignore some of the BGs that might need initialization. This issue is more notable now with the previous patch enabling "fetching" of BLOCK_UNINIT BGs which are marked buffer_uptodate by default. Fix this by passing nr to ext4_mb_prefetch_fini() instead of prefetch_ios so that it considers the right range of groups. Similarly, make sure we don't pass nr=0 to ext4_mb_prefetch_fini() in ext4_mb_regular_allocator() since we might have prefetched BLOCK_UNINIT groups that would need buddy initialization.

Currently, ext4_mb_prefetch() and ext4_mb_prefetch_fini() skip BLOCK_UNINIT groups since fetching their bitmaps doesn't need disk IO. As a consequence, we end not initializing the buddy structures and CR0/1 lists for these BGs, even though it can be done without any disk IO overhead. Hence, don't skip such BGs during prefetch and prefetch_fini. This improves the accuracy of CR0/1 allocation as earlier, we could have essentially empty BLOCK_UNINIT groups being ignored by CR0/1 due to their buddy not being initialized, leading to slower CR2 allocations. With this patch CR0/1 will be able to discover these groups as well, thus improving performance. Signed-off-by:

When we are inside ext4_mb_complex_scan_group() in CR1, we can be sure that this group has atleast 1 big enough continuous free extent to satisfy our request because (free / fragments) > goal length. Hence, instead of wasting time looping over smaller free extents, only try to consider the free extent if we are sure that it has enough continuous free space to satisfy goal length. This is particularly useful when scanning highly fragmented BGs in CR1 as, without this patch, the allocator might stop scanning early before reaching the big enough free extent (due to ac_found > mb_max_to_scan) which causes us to uncessarily trim the request.

This metric could be useful if making changes to the allocator logic in the future as it could give us visibility into how often do we trim our requests.
