f2fs: invalidate META_MAPPING before IPU/DIO write

2021-11-09T16:16:34+00:00

Encrypted pages during GC are read and cached in META_MAPPING.
However, due to cached pages in META_MAPPING, there is an issue where
newly written pages are lost by IPU or DIO writes.

Thread A - f2fs_gc()            Thread B
/* phase 3 */
down_write(i_gc_rwsem)
ra_data_block()       ---- (a)
up_write(i_gc_rwsem)
                                f2fs_direct_IO() :
                                 - down_read(i_gc_rwsem)
                                 - __blockdev_direct_io()
                                 - get_data_block_dio_write()
                                 - f2fs_dio_submit_bio()  ---- (b)
                                 - up_read(i_gc_rwsem)
/* phase 4 */
down_write(i_gc_rwsem)
move_data_block()     ---- (c)
up_write(i_gc_rwsem)

(a) In phase 3 of f2fs_gc(), up-to-date page is read from storage and
    cached in META_MAPPING.
(b) In thread B, writing new data by IPU or DIO write on same blkaddr as
    read in (a). cached page in META_MAPPING become out-dated.
(c) In phase 4 of f2fs_gc(), out-dated page in META_MAPPING is copied to
    new blkaddr. In conclusion, the newly written data in (b) is lost.

To address this issue, invalidating pages in META_MAPPING before IPU or
DIO write.

f2fs: multidevice: support direct IO

2021-10-26T21:04:30+00:00

Commit 3c62be17d4f5 ("f2fs: support multiple devices") missed
to support direct IO for multiple device feature, this patch
adds to support the missing part of multidevice feature.

In addition, for multiple device image, we should be aware of
any issued direct write IO rather than just buffered write IO,
so that fsync and syncfs can issue a preflush command to the
device where direct write IO goes, to persist user data for
posix compliant.

f2fs: introduce fragment allocation mode mount option

2021-10-26T21:04:30+00:00

Added two options into "mode=" mount option to make it possible for
developers to simulate filesystem fragmentation/after-GC situation
itself. The developers use these modes to understand filesystem
fragmentation/after-GC condition well, and eventually get some
insights to handle them better.

"fragment:segment": f2fs allocates a new segment in ramdom position.
		With this, we can simulate the after-GC condition.
"fragment:block" : We can scatter block allocation with
		"max_fragment_chunk" and "max_fragment_hole" sysfs
		nodes. f2fs will allocate 1..
		blocks in a chunk and make a hole in the length of
		1.. by turns	in a newly allocated
		free segment. Plus, this mode implicitly enables
		"fragment:segment" option for more randomness.

f2fs: fix wrong condition to trigger background checkpoint correctly

2021-10-11T23:15:23+00:00

In f2fs_balance_fs_bg(), it needs to check both NAT_ENTRIES and INO_ENTRIES
memory usage to decide whether we should skip background checkpoint, otherwise
we may always skip checking INO_ENTRIES memory usage, so that INO_ENTRIES may
potentially cause high memory footprint.

f2fs: introduce excess_dirty_threshold()

2021-09-20T23:12:51+00:00

This patch enables f2fs_balance_fs_bg() to check all metadatas' dirty
threshold rather than just checking node block's, so that checkpoint()
from background can be triggered more frequently to avoid heaping up
too much dirty metadatas.

Threshold value by default:
race with foreground ops	single type	global
No				16MB		24MB
Yes				24MB		36MB

In addtion, let f2fs_balance_fs_bg() be aware of roll-forward sapce
as well as fsync().

f2fs: fix to stop filesystem update once CP failed

2021-08-04T01:08:29+00:00

During f2fs_write_checkpoint(), once we failed in
f2fs_flush_nat_entries() or do_checkpoint(), metadata of filesystem
such as prefree bitmap, nat/sit version bitmap won't be recovered,
it may cause f2fs image to be inconsistent, let's just set CP error
flag to avoid further updates until we figure out a scheme to rollback
all metadatas in such condition.

f2fs: introduce discard_unit mount option

2021-08-03T18:16:17+00:00

As James Z reported in bugzilla:

https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=213877

[1.] One-line summary of the problem:
Mount multiple SMR block devices exceed certain number cause system non-response

[2.] Full description of the problem/report:
Created some F2FS on SMR devices (mkfs.f2fs -m), then mounted in sequence. Each device is the same Model: HGST HSH721414AL (Size 14TB).
Empirically, found that when the amount of SMR device * 1.5Gb > System RAM, the system ran out of memory and hung. No dmesg output. For example, 24 SMR Disk need 24*1.5GB = 36GB. A system with 32G RAM can only mount 21 devices, the 22nd device will be a reproducible cause of system hang.
The number of SMR devices with other FS mounted on this system does not interfere with the result above.

[3.] Keywords (i.e., modules, networking, kernel):
F2FS, SMR, Memory

[4.] Kernel information
[4.1.] Kernel version (uname -a):
Linux 5.13.4-200.fc34.x86_64 #1 SMP Tue Jul 20 20:27:29 UTC 2021 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

[4.2.] Kernel .config file:
Default Fedora 34 with f2fs-tools-1.14.0-2.fc34.x86_64

[5.] Most recent kernel version which did not have the bug:
None

[6.] Output of Oops.. message (if applicable) with symbolic information
     resolved (see Documentation/admin-guide/oops-tracing.rst)
None

[7.] A small shell script or example program which triggers the
     problem (if possible)
mount /dev/sdX /mnt/0X

[8.] Memory consumption

With 24 * 14T SMR Block device with F2FS
free -g
              total        used        free      shared  buff/cache   available
Mem:             46          36           0           0          10          10
Swap:             0           0           0

With 3 * 14T SMR Block device with F2FS
free -g
               total        used        free      shared  buff/cache   available
Mem:               7           5           0           0           1           1
Swap:              7           0           7

The root cause is, there are three bitmaps:
- cur_valid_map
- ckpt_valid_map
- discard_map
and each of them will cost ~500MB memory, {cur, ckpt}_valid_map are
necessary, but discard_map is optional, since this bitmap will only be
useful in mountpoint that small discard is enabled.

For a blkzoned device such as SMR or ZNS devices, f2fs will only issue
discard for a section(zone) when all blocks of that section are invalid,
so, for such device, we don't need small discard functionality at all.

This patch introduces a new mountoption "discard_unit=block|segment|
section" to support issuing discard with different basic unit which is
aligned to block, segment or section, so that user can specify
"discard_unit=segment" or "discard_unit=section" to disable small
discard functionality.

Note that this mount option can not be changed by remount() due to
related metadata need to be initialized during mount().

In order to save memory, let's use "discard_unit=section" for blkzoned
device by default.
