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.

This commit renames ext4_es_find_extent with ext4_es_find_delayed_extent
and improve this function.  First, we split input and output parameter.
Second, this function never return the first block of the next delayed

<content type='text'>
This commit refines the extent status tree code.

1) A prefix 'es_' is added to to the extent status tree structure
members.

2) Refactored es_remove_extent() so that __es_remove_extent() can be
used by es_insert_extent() to remove the old extent entry(-ies) before
inserting a new one.

3) Rename extent_status_end() to ext4_es_end()

4) ext4_es_can_be_merged() is define to check whether two extents can
be merged or not.

5) Update and clarified comments.

<title>ext4: pass context information to jbd2__journal_start()</title>
<updated>2013-02-09T02:59:22+00:00</updated>

<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.tavy.me/linux.git/commit/?id=9924a92a8c217576bd2a2b1bbbb854462f1a00ae'/>
<id>9924a92a8c217576bd2a2b1bbbb854462f1a00ae</id>
<content type='text'>
So we can better understand what bits of ext4 are responsible for
long-running jbd2 handles, use jbd2__journal_start() so we can pass
context information for logging purposes.

The recommended way for finding the longer-running handles is:

   T=/sys/kernel/debug/tracing
   EVENT=$T/events/jbd2/jbd2_handle_stats
   echo "interval &gt; 5" &gt; $EVENT/filter
   echo 1 &gt; $EVENT/enable

   ./run-my-fs-benchmark

   cat $T/trace &gt; /tmp/problem-handles

This will list handles that were active for longer than 20ms.  Having
longer-running handles is bad, because a commit started at the wrong
time could stall for those 20+ milliseconds, which could delay an
fsync() or an O_SYNC operation.  Here is an example line from the
trace file describing a handle which lived on for 311 jiffies, or over
1.2 seconds:

postmark-2917  [000] ....   196.435786: jbd2_handle_stats: dev 254,32 
   tid 570 type 2 line_no 2541 interval 311 sync 0 requested_blocks 1
   dirtied_blocks 0

Although I put this in, I now think it was a bad decision.  For most
users, there is very little to be done in this case.  They get the
message, once per day, with no real context or proposed action.  TBH,
it generates support calls when it probably does not need to; the
message sounds more dire than the situation really is.

Just nuke it.  Normal investigation via blktrace or whatnot can
reveal poor IO patterns if bad performance is encountered.
