f2fs: optimize f2fs_overwrite_io() for f2fs_iomap_begin

2026-02-19T15:31:36+00:00

commit d860974a7e38d35e9e2c4dc8a9f4223b38b6ad99 upstream. When overwriting already allocated blocks, f2fs_iomap_begin() calls f2fs_overwrite_io() to check block mappings. However, f2fs_overwrite_io() iterates through all mapped blocks in the range, which can be inefficient for fragmented files with large I/O requests. This patch optimizes f2fs_overwrite_io() by adding a 'check_first' parameter and introducing __f2fs_overwrite_io() helper. When called from f2fs_iomap_begin(), we only check the first mapping to determine if the range is already allocated, which is sufficient for setting map.m_may_create. This optimization significantly reduces the number of f2fs_map_blocks() calls in f2fs_overwrite_io() when called from f2fs_iomap_begin(), especially for fragmented files with large I/O requests.

f2fs: fix to avoid mapping wrong physical block for swapfile

2026-02-19T15:31:36+00:00

commit 5c145c03188bc9ba1c29e0bc4d527a5978fc47f9 upstream. Xiaolong Guo reported a f2fs bug in bugzilla [1] [1] https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=220951 Quoted: "When using stress-ng's swap stress test on F2FS filesystem with kernel 6.6+, the system experiences data corruption leading to either: 1 dm-verity corruption errors and device reboot 2 F2FS node corruption errors and boot hangs The issue occurs specifically when: 1 Using F2FS filesystem (ext4 is unaffected) 2 Swapfile size is less than F2FS section size (2MB) 3 Swapfile has fragmented physical layout (multiple non-contiguous extents) 4 Kernel version is 6.6+ (6.1 is unaffected) The root cause is in check_swap_activate() function in fs/f2fs/data.c. When the first extent of a small swapfile (< 2MB) is not aligned to section boundaries, the function incorrectly treats it as the last extent, failing to map subsequent extents. This results in incorrect swap_extent creation where only the first extent is mapped, causing subsequent swap writes to overwrite wrong physical locations (other files' data). Steps to Reproduce 1 Setup a device with F2FS-formatted userdata partition 2 Compile stress-ng from https://github.com/ColinIanKing/stress-ng 3 Run swap stress test: (Android devices) adb shell "cd /data/stressng; ./stress-ng-64 --metrics-brief --timeout 60 --swap 0" Log: 1 Ftrace shows in kernel 6.6, only first extent is mapped during second f2fs_map_blocks call in check_swap_activate(): stress-ng-swap-8990: f2fs_map_blocks: ino=11002, file offset=0, start blkaddr=0x43143, len=0x1 (Only 4KB mapped, not the full swapfile) 2 in kernel 6.1, both extents are correctly mapped: stress-ng-swap-5966: f2fs_map_blocks: ino=28011, file offset=0, start blkaddr=0x13cd4, len=0x1 stress-ng-swap-5966: f2fs_map_blocks: ino=28011, file offset=1, start blkaddr=0x60c84b, len=0xff The problematic code is in check_swap_activate(): if ((pblock - SM_I(sbi)->main_blkaddr) % blks_per_sec || nr_pblocks % blks_per_sec || !f2fs_valid_pinned_area(sbi, pblock)) { bool last_extent = false; not_aligned++; nr_pblocks = roundup(nr_pblocks, blks_per_sec); if (cur_lblock + nr_pblocks > sis->max) nr_pblocks -= blks_per_sec; /* this extent is last one */ if (!nr_pblocks) { nr_pblocks = last_lblock - cur_lblock; last_extent = true; } ret = f2fs_migrate_blocks(inode, cur_lblock, nr_pblocks); if (ret) { if (ret == -ENOENT) ret = -EINVAL; goto out; } if (!last_extent) goto retry; } When the first extent is unaligned and roundup(nr_pblocks, blks_per_sec) exceeds sis->max, we subtract blks_per_sec resulting in nr_pblocks = 0. The code then incorrectly assumes this is the last extent, sets nr_pblocks = last_lblock - cur_lblock (entire swapfile), and performs migration. After migration, it doesn't retry mapping, so subsequent extents are never processed. " In order to fix this issue, we need to lookup block mapping info after we migrate all blocks in the tail of swapfile.

f2fs: readahead node blocks in F2FS_GET_BLOCK_PRECACHE mode

2025-09-28T20:04:41+00:00

In f2fs_precache_extents(), For large files, It requires reading many node blocks. Instead of reading each node block with synchronous I/O, this patch applies readahead so that node blocks can be fetched in advance. It reduces the overhead of repeated sync reads and improves efficiency when precaching extents of large files. I created a file with the same largest extent and executed the test. For this experiment, I set the file's largest extent with an offset of 0 and a size of 1GB. I configured the remaining area with 100MB extents. 5GB test file: dd if=/dev/urandom of=test1 bs=1m count=5120 cp test1 test2 fsync test1 dd if=test1 of=test2 bs=1m skip=1024 seek=1024 count=100 conv=notrunc dd if=test1 of=test2 bs=1m skip=1224 seek=1224 count=100 conv=notrunc ... dd if=test1 of=test2 bs=1m skip=5024 seek=5024 count=100 conv=notrunc reboot I also created 10GB and 20GB files with large extents using the same method. ioctl(F2FS_IOC_PRECACHE_EXTENTS) test results are as follows: +-----------+---------+---------+-----------+ | File size | Before | After | Reduction | +-----------+---------+---------+-----------+ | 5GB | 101.8ms | 37.0ms | 72.1% | | 10GB | 222.9ms | 56.0ms | 74.9% | | 20GB | 446.2ms | 116.4ms | 73.9% | +-----------+---------+---------+-----------+ Tested on a 256GB mobile device with an SM8750 chipset.
