Dedicated small file workloads have been seeing significant free
space fragmentation causing premature inode allocation failure
when large inode sizes are in use. A particular test case showed
that a workload that runs to a real ENOSPC on 256 byte inodes would
fail inode allocation with ENOSPC about about 80% full with 512 byte
inodes, and at about 50% full with 1024 byte inodes.
The same workload, when run with -o allocsize=4096 on 1024 byte
inodes would run to being 100% full before giving ENOSPC. That is,
no freespace fragmentation at all.
The issue was caused by the specific IO pattern the application had
- the framework it was using did not support direct IO, and so it
was emulating it by using fadvise(DONT_NEED). The result was that
the data was getting written back before the speculative prealloc
had been trimmed from memory by the close(), and so small single
block files were being allocated with 2 blocks, and then having one
truncated away. The result was lots of small 4k free space extents,
and hence each new 8k allocation would take another 8k from
contiguous free space and turn it into 4k of allocated space and 4k
of free space.
Hence inode allocation, which requires contiguous, aligned
allocation of 16k (256 byte inodes), 32k (512 byte inodes) or 64k
(1024 byte inodes) can fail to find sufficiently large freespace and
hence fail while there is still lots of free space available.
There's a simple fix for this, and one that has precendence in the
allocator code already - don't do speculative allocation unless the
size of the file is larger than a certain size. In this case, that
size is the minimum default preallocation size:
mp->m_writeio_blocks. And to keep with the concept of being nice to
people when the files are still relatively small, cap the prealloc
to mp->m_writeio_blocks until the file goes over a stripe unit is
size, at which point we'll fall back to the current behaviour based
on the last extent size.
This will effectively turn off speculative prealloc for very small
files, keep preallocation low for small files, and behave as it
currently does for any file larger than a stripe unit. This
completely avoids the freespace fragmentation problem this
particular IO pattern was causing.

The updated speculative preallocation algorithm for handling sparse
files can becomes less effective in situations with a high number of
concurrent, sequential writers. The number of writers and amount of
available RAM affect the writeback bandwidth slicing algorithm,
which in turn affects the block allocation pattern of XFS. For
example, running 32 sequential writers on a system with 32GB RAM,
preallocs become fixed at a value of around 128MB (instead of
steadily increasing to the 8GB maximum as sequential writes
proceed).
Update the speculative prealloc heuristic to base the size of the
next prealloc on double the size of the preceding extent. This
preserves the original aggressive speculative preallocation
behavior and continues to accomodate sparse files at a slight cost
of increasing the size of preallocated data regions following holes
of sparse files.

Speculative preallocation based on the current file size works well
for contiguous files, but is sub-optimal for sparse files where the
EOF preallocation can fill holes and result in large amounts of
zeros being written when it is not necessary.
The algorithm is modified to prevent EOF speculative preallocation
from triggering larger allocations on IO patterns of
truncate--to-zero-seek-write-seek-write-.... which results in
non-sparse files for large files. This, unfortunately, is the way cp
now behaves when copying sparse files and so needs to be fixed.
What this code does is that it looks at the existing extent adjacent
to the current EOF and if it determines that it is a hole we disable
speculative preallocation altogether. To avoid the next write from
doing a large prealloc, it takes the size of subsequent
preallocations from the current size of the existing EOF extent.
IOWs, if you leave a hole in the file, it resets preallocation
behaviour to the same as if it was a zero size file.
Example new behaviour:

There is a window on small filesytsems where specualtive

Add the XFS_ICI_EOFBLOCKS_TAG inode tag to identify inodes with
speculatively preallocated blocks beyond EOF. An inode is tagged
when speculative preallocation occurs and untagged either via
truncate down or when post-EOF blocks are freed via release or
reclaim.
The tag management is intentionally not aggressive to prefer
simplicity over the complexity of handling all the corner cases
under which post-EOF blocks could be freed (i.e., forward
truncation, fallocate, write error conditions, etc.). This means
that a tagged inode may or may not have post-EOF blocks after a
period of time. The tag is eventually cleared when the inode is

Certain allocation paths through xfs_bmapi_write() are in situations
where we have limited stack available. These are almost always in
the buffered IO writeback path when convertion delayed allocation
extents to real extents.
The current stack switch occurs for userdata allocations, which
means we also do stack switches for preallocation, direct IO and
unwritten extent conversion, even those these call chains have never
been implicated in a stack overrun.
Hence, let's target just the single stack overun offended for stack
switches. To do that, introduce a XFS_BMAPI_STACK_SWITCH flag that
the caller can pass xfs_bmapi_write() to indicate it should switch
stacks if it needs to do allocation.

We don't do any data writeback from XFS any more - the VFS is
completely responsible for that, including for freeze. We can
replace the remaining caller with a VFS level function that
achieves the same thing, but without conflicting with current
writeback work.
This means we can remove the flush_work and xfs_flush_inodes() - the
VFS functionality completely replaces the internal flush queue for
doing this writeback work in a separate context to avoid stack
overruns.
This does have one complication - it cannot be called with page
locks held. Hence move the flushing of delalloc space when ENOSPC
occurs back up into xfs_file_aio_buffered_write when we don't hold
any locks that will stall writeback.
Unfortunately, writeback_inodes_sb_if_idle() is not sufficient to
trigger delalloc conversion fast enough to prevent spurious ENOSPC
whent here are hundreds of writers, thousands of small files and GBs
of free RAM. Hence we need to use sync_sb_inodes() to block callers
while we wait for writeback like the previous xfs_flush_inodes
implementation did.
That means we have to hold the s_umount lock here, but because this
call can nest inside i_mutex (the parent directory in the create
case, held by the VFS), we have to use down_read_trylock() to avoid
potential deadlocks. In practice, this trylock will succeed on
almost every attempt as unmount/remount type operations are
exceedingly rare.
Note: we always need to pass a count of zero to
generic_file_buffered_write() as the previously written byte count.
We only do this by accident before this patch by the virtue of ret
always being zero when there are no errors. Make this explicit
rather than needing to specifically zero ret in the ENOSPC retry
case.

This also allows dropping some fairly complicated code in the write path

Note that we do not bother resetting the VFS i_size when truncating a file

is no longer in use at this point. Just relax the assert in xfs_ifree to

Currently the size of the speculative preallocation during delayed
allocation is fixed by either the allocsize mount option of a
default size. We are seeing a lot of cases where we need to
recommend using the allocsize mount option to prevent fragmentation
when buffered writes land in the same AG.
Rather than using a fixed preallocation size by default (up to 64k),
make it dynamic by basing it on the current inode size. That way the
EOF preallocation will increase as the file size increases. Hence
for streaming writes we are much more likely to get large
preallocations exactly when we need it to reduce fragementation.

Because it is hard to take back specualtive preallocation, cases
where there are large slow growing log files on a nearly full
filesystem may cause premature ENOSPC. Hence as the filesystem nears
full, the maximum dynamic prealloc size іs reduced according to this
table (based on 4k block size):
freespace max prealloc size
>5% full extent (8GB)
4-5% 2GB (8GB >> 2)
3-4% 1GB (8GB >> 3)
2-3% 512MB (8GB >> 4)
1-2% 256MB (8GB >> 5)
<1% 128MB (8GB >> 6)
This should reduce the amount of space held in speculative
preallocation for such cases.
The allocsize mount option turns off the dynamic behaviour and fixes
the prealloc size to whatever the mount option specifies. i.e. the
behaviour is unchanged.

Opencode the xfs_iomap code in it's two callers. The overlap of
passed flags already was minimal and will be further reduced in the
next patch.
As a side effect the BMAPI_* flags for xfs_bmapi and the IO_* flags
for I/O end processing are merged into a single set of flags, which
should be a bit more descriptive of the operation we perform.
Also improve the tracing by giving each caller it's own type set of
tracepoints.

xfs_iomap passes a xfs_bmbt_irec pointer to xfs_iomap_write_direct and

Currently we need to either call IHOLD or xfs_trans_ihold on an inode when
joining it to a transaction via xfs_trans_ijoin.
This patches instead makes xfs_trans_ijoin usable on it's own by doing
an implicity xfs_trans_ihold, which also allows us to drop the third
argument. For the case where we want to hold a reference on the inode
a xfs_trans_ijoin_ref wrapper is added which does the IHOLD and marks
the inode for needing an xfs_iput. In addition to the cleaner interface
to the caller this also simplifies the implementation.

Dmapi support was never merged upstream, but we still have a lot of hooks
bloating XFS for it, all over the fast pathes of the filesystem.
This patch drops over 700 lines of dmapi overhead. If we'll ever get HSM
support in mainline at least the namespace events can be done much saner
in the VFS instead of the individual filesystem, so it's not like this
is much help for future work.

Convert the old xfs tracing support that could only be used with the
out of tree kdb and xfsidbg patches to use the generic event tracer.
To use it make sure CONFIG_EVENT_TRACING is enabled and then enable
all xfs trace channels by:
echo 1 > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/xfs/enable
or alternatively enable single events by just doing the same in one
event subdirectory, e.g.
echo 1 > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/xfs/xfs_ihold/enable
or set more complex filters, etc. In Documentation/trace/events.txt
all this is desctribed in more detail. To reads the events do a
cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/trace
Compared to the last posting this patch converts the tracing mostly to
the one tracepoint per callsite model that other users of the new
tracing facility also employ. This allows a very fine-grained control
of the tracing, a cleaner output of the traces and also enables the
perf tool to use each tracepoint as a virtual performance counter,
allowing us to e.g. count how often certain workloads git various
spots in XFS. Take a look at
http://lwn.net/Articles/346470/
for some examples.
Also the btree tracing isn't included at all yet, as it will require
additional core tracing features not in mainline yet, I plan to
deliver it later.
And the really nice thing about this patch is that it actually removes
many lines of code while adding this nice functionality:
