Jan Kara 2be12de98a ext4: introduce aging to extent status tree
Introduce a simple aging to extent status tree. Each extent has a
REFERENCED bit which gets set when the extent is used. Shrinker then
skips entries with referenced bit set and clears the bit. Thus
frequently used extents have higher chances of staying in memory.

Jan Kara 624d0f1dd7 ext4: cleanup flag definitions for extent status tree
Currently flags for extent status tree are defined twice, once shifted
and once without a being shifted. Consolidate these definitions into one
place and make some computations automatic to make adding flags less
error prone. Compiler should be clever enough to figure out these are
constants and generate the same code.

Jan Kara dd47592551 ext4: limit number of scanned extents in status tree shrinker
Currently we scan extent status trees of inodes until we reclaim nr_to_scan
extents. This can however require a lot of scanning when there are lots
of delayed extents (as those cannot be reclaimed).

Change shrinker to work as shrinkers are supposed to and *scan* only
nr_to_scan extents regardless of how many extents did we actually
reclaim. We however need to be careful and avoid scanning each status
tree from the beginning - that could lead to a situation where we would
not be able to reclaim anything at all when first nr_to_scan extents in
the tree are always unreclaimable. We remember with each inode offset
where we stopped scanning and continue from there when we next come
across the inode.

Note that we also need to update places calling __es_shrink() manually
to pass reasonable nr_to_scan to have a chance of reclaiming anything and
not just 1.

Jan Kara b0dea4c165 ext4: move handling of list of shrinkable inodes into extent status code
Currently callers adding extents to extent status tree were responsible
for adding the inode to the list of inodes with freeable extents. This
is error prone and puts list handling in unnecessarily many places.

Just add inode to the list automatically when the first non-delay extent
is added to the tree and remove inode from the list when the last
non-delay extent is removed.

Zheng Liu edaa53cac8 ext4: change LRU to round-robin in extent status tree shrinker
In this commit we discard the lru algorithm for inodes with extent
status tree because it takes significant effort to maintain a lru list
in extent status tree shrinker and the shrinker can take a long time to
scan this lru list in order to reclaim some objects.

We replace the lru ordering with a simple round-robin.  After that we
never need to keep a lru list.  That means that the list needn't be
sorted if the shrinker can not reclaim any objects in the first round.

Zheng Liu eb68d0e2fc ext4: track extent status tree shrinker delay statictics
This commit adds some statictics in extent status tree shrinker.  The
purpose to add these is that we want to collect more details when we
encounter a stall caused by extent status tree shrinker.  Here we count
the following statictics:
  stats:
    the number of all objects on all extent status trees
    the number of reclaimable objects on lru list
    cache hits/misses
    the last sorted interval
    the number of inodes on lru list
  average:
    scan time for shrinking some objects
    the number of shrunk objects
  maximum:
    the inode that has max nr. of objects on lru list
    the maximum scan time for shrinking some objects

The output looks like below:
  $ cat /proc/fs/ext4/sda1/es_shrinker_info
  stats:
    28228 objects
    6341 reclaimable objects
    5281/631 cache hits/misses
    586 ms last sorted interval
    250 inodes on lru list
  average:
    153 us scan time
    128 shrunk objects
  maximum:
    255 inode (255 objects, 198 reclaimable)
    125723 us max scan time

If the lru list has never been sorted, the following line will not be
printed:
    586ms last sorted interval
If there is an empty lru list, the following lines also will not be
printed:
    250 inodes on lru list
  ...
  maximum:
    255 inode (255 objects, 198 reclaimable)
    0 us max scan time

Meanwhile in this commit a new trace point is defined to print some
details in __ext4_es_shrink().

Lukas Czerner 556615dcbf ext4: rename uninitialized extents to unwritten
Currently in ext4 there is quite a mess when it comes to naming
unwritten extents. Sometimes we call it uninitialized and sometimes we
refer to it as unwritten.

The right name for the extent which has been allocated but does not
contain any written data is _unwritten_. Other file systems are
using this name consistently, even the buffer head state refers to it as
unwritten. We need to fix this confusion in ext4.

This commit changes every reference to an uninitialized extent (meaning
allocated but unwritten) to unwritten extent. This includes comments,
function names and variable names. It even covers abbreviation of the
word uninitialized (such as uninit) and some misspellings.

This commit does not change any of the code paths at all. This has been
confirmed by comparing md5sums of the assembly code of each object file
after all the function names were stripped from it.

I refactored the CIFS idmap shrinker a little - it really needs to be
broken up into a shrinker per tree and keep an item count with the tree
root so that we don't need to walk the tree every time the shrinker needs
to count the number of objects in the tree (i.e.  all the time under

After applied the commit (4a092d73), we have reduced the number of
source files that need to #include ext4_extents.h.  But we can do
better.

This commit defines ext4_zeroout_es() in extents.c and move
EXT_MAX_BLOCKS into ext4.h in order not to include ext4_extents.h in
indirect.c and ioctl.c.  Meanwhile we just need to include this file in
extent_status.c when ES_AGGRESSIVE_TEST is defined.  Otherwise, this
commit removes a duplicated declaration in trace/events/ext4.h.

After applied this patch, we just need to include ext4_extents.h file
in {super,migrate,move_extents,extents}.c, and it is easy for us to
define a new extent disk layout.

Theodore Ts'o 7869a4a6c5 ext4: add support for extent pre-caching
Add a new fiemap flag which forces the all of the extents in an inode
to be cached in the extent_status tree.  This is critically important
when using AIO to a preallocated file, since if we need to read in
blocks from the extent tree, the io_submit(2) system call becomes
synchronous, and the AIO is no longer "A", which is bad.

In addition, for most files which have an external leaf tree block,
the cost of caching the information in the extent status tree will be
less than caching the entire 4k block in the buffer cache.  So it is
generally a win to keep the extent information cached.

Theodore Ts'o e15f742ce8 ext4: make the extent_status code more robust against ENOMEM failures
Some callers of ext4_es_remove_extent() and ext4_es_insert_extent()
may not be completely robust against ENOMEM failures (or the
consequences of reflecting ENOMEM back up to userspace may lead to
xfstest or user application failure).

To mitigate against this, when trying to insert an entry in the extent
status tree, try to shrink the inode's extent status tree before
returning ENOMEM.  If there are entries which don't record information
about extents under delayed allocations, freeing one of them is
preferable to returning ENOMEM.

from extent status tree when we are under heavy memory pressure.  For
keeping this order, a spin lock is used to protect this list.  But this
lock burns a lot of CPU time.  We can use the following steps to trigger
it.

  % cd /dev/shm
  % dd if=/dev/zero of=ext4-img bs=1M count=2k
  % mkfs.ext4 ext4-img
  % mount -t ext4 -o loop ext4-img /mnt
  % cd /mnt
  % for ((i=0;i<160;i++)); do truncate -s 64g $i; done
  % for ((i=0;i<160;i++)); do cp $i /dev/null &; done
  % perf record -a -g
  % perf report

This commit tries to fix this problem.  Now a new member called
i_touch_when is added into ext4_inode_info to record the last access
time for an inode.  Meanwhile we never need to keep a proper in-order
LRU list.  So this can avoid to burns some CPU time.  When we try to
reclaim some entries from extent status tree, we use list_sort() to get
a proper in-order list.  Then we traverse this list to discard some
entries.  In ext4_sb_info, we use s_es_last_sorted to record the last
time of sorting this list.  When we traverse the list, we skip the inode
that is newer than this time, and move this inode to the tail of LRU
list.  When the head of the list is newer than s_es_last_sorted, we will
sort the LRU list again.

In this commit, we break the loop if s_extent_cache_cnt == 0 because
that means that all extents in extent status tree have been reclaimed.

Meanwhile in this commit, ext4_es_{un}register_shrinker()'s prototype is
changed to save a local variable in these functions.

Yan, Zheng e30b5dca15 ext4: fix fio regression
We (Linux Kernel Performance project) found a regression introduced
by commit:

  f7fec032aa ext4: track all extent status in extent status tree

The commit causes about 20% performance decrease in fio random write
test. Profiler shows that rb_next() uses a lot of CPU time. The call
stack is:

  rb_next
  ext4_es_find_delayed_extent
  ext4_map_blocks
  _ext4_get_block
  ext4_get_block_write
  __blockdev_direct_IO
  ext4_direct_IO
  generic_file_direct_write
  __generic_file_aio_write
  ext4_file_write
  aio_rw_vect_retry
  aio_run_iocb
  do_io_submit
  sys_io_submit
  system_call_fastpath
  io_submit
  td_io_getevents
  io_u_queued_complete
  thread_main
  main
  __libc_start_main

The cause is that ext4_es_find_delayed_extent() doesn't have an
upper bound, it keeps searching until a delayed extent is found.
When there are a lots of non-delayed entries in the extent state
tree, ext4_es_find_delayed_extent() may uses a lot of CPU time.

Zheng Liu adb2355104 ext4: update extent status tree after an extent is zeroed out
When we try to split an extent, this extent could be zeroed out and mark
as initialized.  But we don't know this in ext4_map_blocks because it
only returns a length of allocated extent.  Meanwhile we will mark this
extent as uninitialized because we only check m_flags.

This commit update extent status tree when we try to split an unwritten
extent.  We don't need to worry about the status of this extent because
we always mark it as initialized.

Theodore Ts'o 1ac6466f25 ext4: use percpu counter for extent cache count
Use a percpu counter rather than atomic types for shrinker accounting.
There's no need for ultimate accuracy in the shrinker, so this
should come a little more cheaply.  The percpu struct is somewhat
large, but there was a big gap before the cache-aligned
s_es_lru_lock anyway, and it fits nicely in there.

When the system is under memory pressure, ext4_es_srhink() will get
called very often.  So optimize returning the number of items in the
file system's extent status cache by keeping a per-filesystem count,
instead of calculating it each time by scanning all of the inodes in
the extent status cache.

Also rename the slab used for the extent status cache to be
"ext4_extent_status" so it's obviousl the slab in question is created
by ext4.

Eryu Guan d438147211 ext4: no need to remove extent if len is 0 in ext4_es_remove_extent()
len is 0 means no extent needs to be removed, so return immediately.
Otherwise it could trigger the following BUG_ON() in
ext4_es_remove_extent()

	end = lblk + len - 1;
	BUG_ON(end < lblk);

This could be reproduced by a simple truncate(1) command by an
unprivileged user

	truncate -s $(($((2**32 - 1)) * 4096)) /mnt/ext4/testfile

The same is true for __es_insert_extent().

Zheng Liu 74cd15cd02 ext4: reclaim extents from extent status tree
Although extent status is loaded on-demand, we also need to reclaim
extent from the tree when we are under a heavy memory pressure because
in some cases fragmented extent tree causes status tree costs too much
memory.

Here we maintain a lru list in super_block.  When the extent status of
an inode is accessed and changed, this inode will be move to the tail
of the list.  The inode will be dropped from this list when it is
cleared.  In the inode, a counter is added to count the number of
cached objects in extent status tree.  Here only written/unwritten/hole
extent is counted because delayed extent doesn't be reclaimed due to
fiemap, bigalloc and seek_data/hole need it.  The counter will be
increased as a new extent is allocated, and it will be decreased as a
extent is freed.

In this commit we use normal shrinker framework to reclaim memory from
the status tree.  ext4_es_reclaim_extents_count() traverses the lru list
to count the number of reclaimable extents.  ext4_es_shrink() tries to
reclaim written/unwritten/hole extents from extent status tree.  The
inode that has been shrunk is moved to the tail of lru list.

Zheng Liu d100eef244 ext4: lookup block mapping in extent status tree
After tracking all extent status, we already have a extent cache in
memory.  Every time we want to lookup a block mapping, we can first
try to lookup it in extent status tree to avoid a potential disk I/O.

A new function called ext4_es_lookup_extent is defined to finish this
work.  When we try to lookup a block mapping, we always call
ext4_map_blocks and/or ext4_da_map_blocks.  So in these functions we
first try to lookup a block mapping in extent status tree.

A new flag EXT4_GET_BLOCKS_NO_PUT_HOLE is used in ext4_da_map_blocks
in order not to put a hole into extent status tree because this hole
will be converted to delayed extent in the tree immediately.

This commit adds two members in extent_status structure to let it record
physical block and extent status.  Here es_pblk is used to record both
of them because physical block only has 48 bits.  So extent status could
be stashed into it so that we can save some memory.  Now written,
unwritten, delayed and hole are defined as status.

Due to new member is added into extent status tree, all interfaces need
to be adjusted.
