iomap: Add per-block dirty state tracking to improve performance
When filesystem blocksize is less than folio size (either with mapping_large_folio_support() or with blocksize < pagesize) and when the folio is uptodate in pagecache, then even a byte write can cause an entire folio to be written to disk during writeback. This happens because we currently don't have a mechanism to track per-block dirty state within struct iomap_folio_state. We currently only track uptodate state. This patch implements support for tracking per-block dirty state in iomap_folio_state->state bitmap. This should help improve the filesystem write performance and help reduce write amplification. Performance testing of below fio workload reveals ~16x performance improvement using nvme with XFS (4k blocksize) on Power (64K pagesize) FIO reported write bw scores improved from around ~28 MBps to ~452 MBps. 1. <test_randwrite.fio> [global] ioengine=psync rw=randwrite overwrite=1 pre_read=1 direct=0 bs=4k size=1G dir=./ numjobs=8 fdatasync=1 runtime=60 iodepth=64 group_reporting=1 [fio-run] 2. Also our internal performance team reported that this patch improves their database workload performance by around ~83% (with XFS on Power) Reported-by: Aravinda Herle <araherle@in.ibm.com> Reported-by: Brian Foster <bfoster@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Ritesh Harjani (IBM) <ritesh.list@gmail.com> Reviewed-by: Darrick J.
