ext4: use ext4_debug() instead of jbd_debug()

2022-08-03T03:52:19+00:00

We use jbd_debug() in some places in ext4. It seems a bit strange to use jbd2 debugging output function for ext4 code. Also these days ext4_debug() uses dynamic printk so each debug message can be enabled / disabled on its own so the time when it made some sense to have these combined (to allow easier common selecting of messages to report) has passed. Just convert all jbd_debug() uses in ext4 to ext4_debug().

ext4: Support for checksumming from journal triggers

2021-08-31T03:36:50+00:00

JBD2 layer support triggers which are called when journaling layer moves buffer to a certain state. We can use the frozen trigger, which gets called when buffer data is frozen and about to be written out to the journal, to compute block checksums for some buffer types (similarly as does ocfs2). This avoids unnecessary repeated recomputation of the checksum (at the cost of larger window where memory corruption won't be caught by checksumming) and is even necessary when there are unsynchronized updaters of the checksummed data. So add superblock and journal trigger type arguments to ext4_journal_get_write_access() and ext4_journal_get_create_access() so that frozen triggers can be set accordingly. Also add inode argument to ext4_walk_page_buffers() and all the callbacks used with that function for the same purpose. This patch is mostly only a change of prototype of the above mentioned functions and a few small helpers. Real checksumming will come later.

ext4: use ASSERT() to replace J_ASSERT()

2020-12-03T14:36:57+00:00

There are currently multiple forms of assertion, such as J_ASSERT(). J_ASEERT() is provided for the jbd module, which is a public module. Maybe we should use custom ASSERT() like other file systems, such as xfs, which would be better.

ext4: use ext4_sb_bread() instead of sb_bread()

We have already remove open codes that invoke helpers provide by fs/buffer.c in all places reading metadata buffers. This patch switch to use ext4_sb_bread() to replace all sb_bread() helpers, which is ext4_read_bh() helper back end.

ext4: limit the length of per-inode prealloc list

2020-08-19T16:04:36+00:00

In the scenario of writing sparse files, the per-inode prealloc list may be very long, resulting in high overhead for ext4_mb_use_preallocated(). To circumvent this problem, we limit the maximum length of per-inode prealloc list to 512 and allow users to modify it. After patching, we observed that the sys ratio of cpu has dropped, and the system throughput has increased significantly. We created a process to write the sparse file, and the running time of the process on the fixed kernel was significantly reduced, as follows: Running time on unfixed kernel： [root@TENCENT64 ~]# time taskset 0x01 ./sparse /data1/sparce.dat real 0m2.051s user 0m0.008s sys 0m2.026s Running time on fixed kernel： [root@TENCENT64 ~]# time taskset 0x01 ./sparse /data1/sparce.dat real 0m0.471s user 0m0.004s sys 0m0.395s Signed-off-by: Chunguang Xu Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/d7a98178-056b-6db5-6bce-4ead23f4a257@gmail.com Signed-off-by: Theodore Ts'o
