2013-10-30f2fs: change the method of calculating the number summary blocksFan Li
npages_for_summary_flush uses (SUMMARY_SIZE + 1) as the size of a f2fs_summary while its actual size is SUMMARY_SIZE. So the result sometimes is bigger than actual number by one, which causes checkpoint can't be written into disk contiguously, and sometimes summary blocks can't be compacted like they should. Besides, when writing summary blocks into pages, if remain space in a page isn't big enough for one f2fs_summary, it will be left unused, current code seems not to take it into account.

2013-10-18f2fs: avoid wait if IO end up when do_checkpoint for better performanceGu Zheng
Previously, do_checkpoint() will call congestion_wait() for waiting the pages (previous submitted node/meta/data pages) to be written back. Because congestion_wait() will set a regular period (e.g. HZ / 50 ) for waiting, and no additional wake up mechanism was introduced if IO ends up before regular period costed. Yuan Zhong found there is a situation that after the pages have been written back, but the checkpoint thread still wait for congestion_wait to exit. So here we store checkpoint task into f2fs_sb when doing checkpoint, it'll wait for IO completes if there's IO going on, and in the end IO path, wake up checkpoint task when IO ends up. Thanks to Yuan Zhong's pre work about this problem.

2013-10-07f2fs: use rw_sem instead of fs_lock(locks mutex)Gu Zheng
The fs_locks is used to block other ops(ex, recovery) when doing checkpoint. And each other operate routine(besides checkpoint) needs to acquire a fs_lock, there is a terrible problem here, if these are too many concurrency threads acquiring fs_lock, so that they will block each other and may lead to some performance problem, but this is not the phenomenon we want to see. Though there are some optimization patches introduced to enhance the usage of fs_lock, but the thorough solution is using a *rw_sem* to replace the fs_lock. Checkpoint routine takes write_sem, and other ops take read_sem, so that we can block other ops(ex, recovery) when doing checkpoint, and other ops will not disturb each other, this can avoid the problem described above completely. Because of the weakness of rw_sem, the above change may introduce a potential problem that the checkpoint thread might get starved if other threads are intensively locking the read semaphore for I/O.(Pointed out by Xu Jin) In order to avoid this, a wait_list is introduced, the appending read semaphore ops will be dropped into the wait_list if checkpoint thread is waiting for write semaphore, and will be waked up when checkpoint thread gives up write semaphore. Thanks to Kim's previous review and test, and will be very glad to see other guys' performance tests about this patch. V2: -fix the potential starvation problem. -use more suitable func name suggested by Xu Jin.

2013-09-25f2fs: account for orphan inodes during recoveryRuss W. Knize
During recovery, orphan inodes are deleted via truncate_hole(). These orphans are added by recover_dentry() via f2fs_delete_entry(). However, f2fs_delete_entry() adds them via add_orphan_inode() without calling acquire_orphan_inode() first. This prevents the counters from being incremented properly, which causes them to underflow when remove_orphan_inode() is called later on.

2013-09-25f2fs: don't GC or take an fs_lock from f2fs_initxattrs()Russ Knize
f2fs_initxattrs() is called internally from within F2FS and should not call functions that are used by VFS handlers. This avoids certain deadlocks: - vfs_create() - f2fs_create() <-- takes an fs_lock - f2fs_add_link() - __f2fs_add_link() - init_inode_metadata() - f2fs_init_security() - security_inode_init_security() - f2fs_initxattrs() - f2fs_setxattr() <-- also takes an fs_lock If the caller happens to grab the same fs_lock from the pool in both places, they will deadlock. There are also deadlocks involving multiple threads and mutexes: - f2fs_write_begin() - f2fs_balance_fs() <-- takes gc_mutex - f2fs_gc() - write_checkpoint() - block_operations() - mutex_lock_all() <-- blocks trying to grab all fs_locks - f2fs_mkdir() <-- takes an fs_lock - __f2fs_add_link() - f2fs_init_security() - security_inode_init_security() - f2fs_initxattrs() - f2fs_setxattr() - f2fs_balance_fs() <-- blocks trying to take gc_mutex Signed-off-by: Russ Knize <Russ.Knize@motorola.com> Signed-off-by: Jaegeuk Kim <jaegeuk.kim@samsung.com>

2013-09-05f2fs: optimize gc for better performanceJin Xu
This patch improves the gc efficiency by optimizing the victim selection policy. With this optimization, the random re-write performance could increase up to 20%. For f2fs, when disk is in shortage of free spaces, gc will selects dirty segments and moves valid blocks around for making more space available. The gc cost of a segment is determined by the valid blocks in the segment. The less the valid blocks, the higher the efficiency. The ideal victim segment is the one that has the most garbage blocks. Currently, it searches up to 20 dirty segments for a victim segment. The selected victim is not likely the best victim for gc when there are much more dirty segments. Why not searching more dirty segments for a better victim? The cost of searching dirty segments is negligible in comparison to moving blocks. In this patch, it enlarges the MAX_VICTIM_SEARCH to 4096 to make the search more aggressively for a possible better victim. Since it also applies to victim selection for SSR, it will likely improve the SSR efficiency as well. The test case is simple. It creates as many files until the disk full. The size for each file is 32KB. Then it writes as many as 100000 records of 4KB size to random offsets of random files in sync mode. The testing was done on a 2GB partition of a SDHC card. Let's see the test result of f2fs without and with the patch. --------------------------------------- 2GB partition, SDHC create 52023 files of size 32768 bytes random re-write 100000 records of 4KB --------------------------------------- | file creation (s) | rewrite time (s) | gc count | gc garbage blocks | [no patch] 341 4227 1174 174840 [patched] 324 2958 645 106682 It's obvious that, with the patch, f2fs finishes the test in 20+% less time than without the patch. And internally it does much less gc with higher efficiency than before. Since the performance improvement is related to gc, it might not be so obvious for other tests that do not trigger gc as often as this one ( This is because f2fs selects dirty segments for SSR use most of the time when free space is in shortage). The well-known iozone test tool was not used for benchmarking the patch becuase it seems do not have a test case that performs random re-write on a full disk. This patch is the revised version based on the suggestion from Jaegeuk Kim.

2013-09-05f2fs: merge more bios of node block writesJaegeuk Kim
Previously, we experience bio traces as follows when running simple sequential write test. f2fs_do_submit_bio: type = NODE, io = no sync, sector = 500104928, size = 4K f2fs_do_submit_bio: type = NODE, io = no sync, sector = 499922208, size = 368K f2fs_do_submit_bio: type = NODE, io = no sync, sector = 499914752, size = 140K -> total 512K The first one is to write an indirect node block, and the others are to write direct node blocks. The reason why there are two separate bios for direct node blocks is: 0. initial state ------------------ ------------------ | | |xxxxxxxx | ------------------ ------------------ 1. write 368K ------------------ ------------------ | | |xxxxxxxxWWWWWWWW| ------------------ ------------------ 2. write 140K ------------------ ------------------ |WWWWWWW | |xxxxxxxxWWWWWWWW| ------------------ ------------------ This is because f2fs_write_node_pages tries to write just 512K totally, so that we can lose the chance to merge more bios nicely. After this patch is applied, we can get the following bio traces. f2fs_do_submit_bio: type = NODE, io = no sync, sector = 500103168, size = 8K f2fs_do_submit_bio: type = NODE, io = no sync, sector = 500111368, size = 4K f2fs_do_submit_bio: type = NODE, io = no sync, sector = 500107272, size = 512K f2fs_do_submit_bio: type = NODE, io = no sync, sector = 500108296, size = 512K f2fs_do_submit_bio: type = NODE, io = no sync, sector = 500109320, size = 500K And finally, we can improve the sequential write performance, from 458.775 MB/s to 479.945 MB/s on SSD.
