2017-04-10f2fs: guard macro variables with bracesTomohiro Kusumi
Add braces around variables used within macros for those make sense to do it. Many of the macros in f2fs already do this. What this commit doesn't do is anything that changes line# as a result of adding braces, which usually affects the binary via __LINE__. Confirmed no diff in fs/f2fs/f2fs.ko before/after this commit on x86_64, to make sure this has no functional change as well as there's been no unexpected side effect due to callers' arithmetics within the existing code.

2017-03-20f2fs: combine nat_bits and free_nid_bitmap cacheChao Yu
Both nat_bits cache and free_nid_bitmap cache provide same functionality as a intermediate cache between free nid cache and disk, but with different granularity of indicating free nid range, and different persistence policy. nat_bits cache provides better persistence ability, and free_nid_bitmap provides better granularity. In this patch we combine advantage of both caches, so finally policy of the intermediate cache would be: - init: load free nid status from nat_bits into free_nid_bitmap - lookup: scan free_nid_bitmap before load NAT blocks - update: update free_nid_bitmap in real-time - persistence: udpate and persist nat_bits in checkpoint This patch also resolves performance regression reported by lkp-robot. commit: 4ac912427c4214d8031d9ad6fbc3bc75e71512df ("f2fs: introduce free nid bitmap") d00030cf9cd0bb96fdccc41e33d3c91dcbb672ba ("f2fs: use __set{__clear}_bit_le") 1382c0f3f9d3f936c8bc42ed1591cf7a593ef9f7 ("f2fs: combine nat_bits and free_nid_bitmap cache") 4ac912427c4214d8 d00030cf9cd0bb96fdccc41e33 1382c0f3f9d3f936c8bc42ed15 ---------------- -------------------------- -------------------------- %stddev %change %stddev %change %stddev \ | \ | \ 77863 ± 0% +2.1% 79485 ± 1% +50.8% 117404 ± 0% aim7.jobs-per-min 231.63 ± 0% -2.0% 227.01 ± 1% -33.6% 153.80 ± 0% aim7.time.elapsed_time 231.63 ± 0% -2.0% 227.01 ± 1% -33.6% 153.80 ± 0% aim7.time.elapsed_time.max 896604 ± 0% -0.8% 889221 ± 3% -20.2% 715260 ± 1% aim7.time.involuntary_context_switches 2394 ± 1% +4.6% 2503 ± 1% +3.7% 2481 ± 2% aim7.time.maximum_resident_set_size 6240 ± 0% -1.5% 6145 ± 1% -14.1% 5360 ± 1% aim7.time.system_time 1111357 ± 3% +1.9% 1132509 ± 2% -6.2% 1041932 ± 2% aim7.time.voluntary_context_switches ...

2017-02-27f2fs: introduce free nid bitmapChao Yu
In scenario of intensively node allocation, free nids will be ran out soon, then it needs to stop to load free nids by traversing NAT blocks, in worse case, if NAT blocks does not be cached in memory, it generates IOs which slows down our foreground operations. In order to speed up node allocation, in this patch we introduce a new free_nid_bitmap array, so there is an bitmap table for each NAT block, Once the NAT block is loaded, related bitmap cache will be switched on, and bitmap will be set during traversing nat entries in NAT block, later we can query and update nid usage status in memory completely. With such implementation, I expect performance of node allocation can be improved in the long-term after filesystem image is mounted.

2017-02-27f2fs: add bitmaps for empty or full NAT blocksJaegeuk Kim
This patches adds bitmaps to represent empty or full NAT blocks containing free nid entries. If we can find valid crc|cp_ver in the last block of checkpoint pack, we'll use these bitmaps when building free nids. In order to avoid checkpointing burden, up-to-date bitmaps will be flushed only during umount time. So, normally we can get this gain, but when power-cut happens, we rely on fsck.f2fs which recovers this bitmap again. After this patch, we build free nids from nid #0 at mount time to make more full NAT blocks, but in runtime, we check empty NAT blocks to load free nids without loading any NAT pages from disk.

2017-02-23f2fs: change recovery policy of xattr node blockChao Yu
Currently, if we call fsync after updating the xattr date belongs to the file, f2fs needs to trigger checkpoint to keep xattr data consistent. But, this policy cause low performance as checkpoint will block most foreground operations and cause unneeded and unrelated IOs around checkpoint. This patch will reuse regular file recovery policy for xattr node block, so, we change to write xattr node block tagged with fsync flag to warm area instead of cold area, and during recovery, we search warm node chain for fsynced xattr block, and do the recovery. So, for below application IO pattern, performance can be improved obviously: - touch file - create/update/delete xattr entry in file - fsync file Signed-off-by: Chao Yu <yuchao0@huawei.com> Signed-off-by: Jaegeuk Kim <jaegeuk@kernel.org>

We need to flush data writes before flushing last node block writes by using FUA with PREFLUSH. We don't need to guarantee precedent node writes since if those are not written, we can't reach to the last node block when scanning node block chain during roll-forward recovery. Afterwards f2fs_wait_on_page_writeback guarantees all the IO submission to disk, which builds a valid node block chain.

2016-07-15f2fs: use blk_plug in all the possible pathsJaegeuk Kim
This patch reverts 19a5f5e2ef37 (f2fs: drop any block plugging), and adds blk_plug in write paths additionally. The main reason is that blk_start_plug can be used to wake up from low-power mode before submitting further bios. Signed-off-by: Jaegeuk Kim <jaegeuk@kernel.org>
