From 4ce02c67972211be488408c275c8fbf19faf29b3 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Ritesh Harjani (IBM)" Date: Mon, 10 Jul 2023 14:12:43 -0700 Subject: 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.

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 Reported-by: Brian Foster Signed-off-by: Ritesh Harjani (IBM) Reviewed-by: Darrick J.
