ext4: make directory inode spreading reflect flexbg size

2022-09-28T09:32:28+00:00

commit 613c5a85898d1cd44e68f28d65eccf64a8ace9cf upstream. Currently the Orlov inode allocator searches for free inodes for a directory only in flex block groups with at most inodes_per_group/16 more directory inodes than average per flex block group. However with growing size of flex block group this becomes unnecessarily strict. Scale allowed difference from average directory count per flex block group with flex block group size as we do with other metrics.

ext4: fixup possible uninitialized variable access in ext4_mb_choose_next_group_cr1()

2022-09-28T09:32:28+00:00

commit a078dff870136090b5779ca2831870a6c5539d36 upstream. Variable 'grp' may be left uninitialized if there's no group with suitable average fragment size (or larger). Fix the problem by initializing it earlier.

Revert "block: freeze the queue earlier in del_gendisk"

2022-09-28T09:32:28+00:00

commit 4c66a326b5ab784cddd72de07ac5b6210e9e1b06 upstream. This reverts commit a09b314005f3a0956ebf56e01b3b80339df577cc. Dusty Mabe reported consistent hang during CoreOS shutdown with a MD RAID1 setup. Although apparently similar hangs happened before, and this patch most likely is not the root cause it made it much more severe. Revert it until we can figure out what is going on with the md driver.

ext4: use buckets for cr 1 block scan instead of rbtree

2022-09-28T09:32:28+00:00

commit 83e80a6e3543f37f74c8e48a5f305b054b65ce2a upstream. Using rbtree for sorting groups by average fragment size is relatively expensive (needs rbtree update on every block freeing or allocation) and leads to wide spreading of allocations because selection of block group is very sentitive both to changes in free space and amount of blocks allocated. Furthermore selecting group with the best matching average fragment size is not necessary anyway, even more so because the variability of fragment sizes within a group is likely large so average is not telling much. We just need a group with large enough average fragment size so that we have high probability of finding large enough free extent and we don't want average fragment size to be too big so that we are likely to find free extent only somewhat larger than what we need. So instead of maintaing rbtree of groups sorted by fragment size keep bins (lists) or groups where average fragment size is in the interval [2^i, 2^(i+1)). This structure requires less updates on block allocation / freeing, generally avoids chaotic spreading of allocations into block groups, and still is able to quickly (even faster that the rbtree) provide a block group which is likely to have a suitably sized free space extent. This patch reduces number of block groups used when untarring archive with medium sized files (size somewhat above 64k which is default mballoc limit for avoiding locality group preallocation) to about half and thus improves write speeds for eMMC flash significantly.

ext4: use locality group preallocation for small closed files

2022-09-28T09:32:28+00:00

commit a9f2a2931d0e197ab28c6007966053fdababd53f upstream. Curently we don't use any preallocation when a file is already closed when allocating blocks (from writeback code when converting delayed allocation). However for small files, using locality group preallocation is actually desirable as that is not specific to a particular file. Rather it is a method to pack small files together to reduce fragmentation and for that the fact the file is closed is actually even stronger hint the file would benefit from packing. So change the logic to allow locality group preallocation in this case.

ext4: avoid unnecessary spreading of allocations among groups

2022-09-28T09:32:28+00:00

commit 1940265ede6683f6317cba0d428ce6505eaca944 upstream. mb_set_largest_free_order() updates lists containing groups with largest chunk of free space of given order. The way it updates it leads to always moving the group to the tail of the list. Thus allocations looking for free space of given order effectively end up cycling through all groups (and due to initialization in last to first order). This spreads allocations among block groups which reduces performance for rotating disks or low-end flash media. Change mb_set_largest_free_order() to only update lists if the order of the largest free chunk in the group changed.

ext4: make mballoc try target group first even with mb_optimize_scan

2022-09-28T09:32:28+00:00

commit 4fca50d440cc5d4dc570ad5484cc0b70b381bc2a upstream. One of the side-effects of mb_optimize_scan was that the optimized functions to select next group to try were called even before we tried the goal group. As a result we no longer allocate files close to corresponding inodes as well as we don't try to expand currently allocated extent in the same group. This results in reaim regression with workfile.disk workload of upto 8% with many clients on my test machine: baseline mb_optimize_scan Hmean disk-1 2114.16 ( 0.00%) 2099.37 ( -0.70%) Hmean disk-41 87794.43 ( 0.00%) 83787.47 * -4.56%* Hmean disk-81 148170.73 ( 0.00%) 135527.05 * -8.53%* Hmean disk-121 177506.11 ( 0.00%) 166284.93 * -6.32%* Hmean disk-161 220951.51 ( 0.00%) 207563.39 * -6.06%* Hmean disk-201 208722.74 ( 0.00%) 203235.59 ( -2.63%) Hmean disk-241 222051.60 ( 0.00%) 217705.51 ( -1.96%) Hmean disk-281 252244.17 ( 0.00%) 241132.72 * -4.41%* Hmean disk-321 255844.84 ( 0.00%) 245412.84 * -4.08%* Also this is causing huge regression (time increased by a factor of 5 or so) when untarring archive with lots of small files on some eMMC storage cards.

ext4: limit the number of retries after discarding preallocations blocks

2022-09-28T09:32:27+00:00

commit 80fa46d6b9e7b1527bfd2197d75431fd9c382161 upstream. This patch avoids threads live-locking for hours when a large number threads are competing over the last few free extents as they blocks getting added and removed from preallocation pools. From our bug reporter: A reliable way for triggering this has multiple writers continuously write() to files when the filesystem is full, while small amounts of space are freed (e.g. by truncating a large file -1MiB at a time). In the local filesystem, this can be done by simply not checking the return code of write (0) and/or the error (ENOSPACE) that is set. Over NFS with an async mount, even clients with proper error checking will behave this way since the linux NFS client implementation will not propagate the server errors [the write syscalls immediately return success] until the file handle is closed. This leads to a situation where NFS clients send a continuous stream of WRITE rpcs which result in ERRNOSPACE -- but since the client isn't seeing this, the stream of writes continues at maximum network speed. When some space does appear, multiple writers will all attempt to claim it for their current write. For NFS, we may see dozens to hundreds of threads that do this. The real-world scenario of this is database backup tooling (in particular, github.com/mdkent/percona-xtrabackup) which may write large files (>1TiB) to NFS for safe keeping. Some temporary files are written, rewound, and read back -- all before closing the file handle (the temp file is actually unlinked, to trigger automatic deletion on close/crash.) An application like this operating on an async NFS mount will not see an error code until TiB have been written/read. The lockup was observed when running this database backup on large filesystems (64 TiB in this case) with a high number of block groups and no free space. Fragmentation is generally not a factor in this filesystem (~thousands of large files, mostly contiguous except for the parts written while the filesystem is at capacity.)

ext4: fix bug in extents parsing when eh_entries == 0 and eh_depth > 0

2022-09-28T09:32:27+00:00

commit 29a5b8a137ac8eb410cc823653a29ac0e7b7e1b0 upstream. When walking through an inode extents, the ext4_ext_binsearch_idx() function assumes that the extent header has been previously validated. However, there are no checks that verify that the number of entries (eh->eh_entries) is non-zero when depth is > 0. And this will lead to problems because the EXT_FIRST_INDEX() and EXT_LAST_INDEX() will return garbage and result in this: [ 135.245946] ------------[ cut here ]------------ [ 135.247579] kernel BUG at fs/ext4/extents.c:2258!
