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: replace snprintf in show functions with sysfs_emit

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

coccicheck complains about the use of snprintf() in sysfs show functions.

Fix the following coccicheck warning:
fs/f2fs/sysfs.c:198:12-20: WARNING: use scnprintf or sprintf.
fs/f2fs/sysfs.c:247:8-16: WARNING: use scnprintf or sprintf.

Use sysfs_emit instead of scnprintf or sprintf makes more sense.

Pull f2fs updates from Jaegeuk Kim:
 "In this cycle, we've addressed some performance issues such as lock
  contention, misbehaving compress_cache, allowing extent_cache for
  compressed files, and new sysfs to adjust ra_size for fadvise.

  In order to diagnose the performance issues quickly, we also added an
  iostat which shows the IO latencies periodically.

  On the stability side, we've found two memory leakage cases in the
  error path in compression flow. And, we've also fixed various corner
  cases in fiemap, quota, checkpoint=disable, zstd, and so on.

  Enhancements:
   - avoid long checkpoint latency by releasing nat_tree_lock
   - collect and show iostats periodically
   - support extent_cache for compressed files
   - add a sysfs entry to manage ra_size given fadvise(POSIX_FADV_SEQUENTIAL)
   - report f2fs GC status via sysfs
   - add discard_unit=%s in mount option to handle zoned device

  Bug fixes:
   - fix two memory leakages when an error happens in the compressed IO flow
   - fix commpress_cache to get the right LBA
   - fix fiemap to deal with compressed case correctly
   - fix wrong EIO returns due to SBI_NEED_FSCK
   - fix missing writes when enabling checkpoint back
   - fix quota deadlock
   - fix zstd level mount option

  In addition to the above major updates, we've cleaned up several code
  paths such as dio, unnecessary operations, debugfs/f2fs/status, sanity
  check, and typos"

f2fs: separate out iostat feature

2021-08-23T17:25:51+00:00

Added F2FS_IOSTAT config option to support getting IO statistics through
sysfs and printing out periodic IO statistics tracepoint events and
moved I/O statistics related codes into separate files for better
maintenance.

block: Introduce IOPRIO_NR_LEVELS

2021-08-18T13:21:12+00:00

The BFQ scheduler and ioprio_check_cap() both assume that the RT
priority class (IOPRIO_CLASS_RT) can have up to 8 different priority
levels, similarly to the BE class (IOPRIO_CLASS_iBE). This is
controlled using the IOPRIO_BE_NR macro , which is badly named as the
number of levels also applies to the RT class.

Introduce the class independent IOPRIO_NR_LEVELS macro, defined to 8,
to make things clear. Keep the old IOPRIO_BE_NR macro definition as an
alias for IOPRIO_NR_LEVELS.

f2fs: add sysfs node to control ra_pages for fadvise seq file

2021-08-03T18:16:22+00:00

fadvise() allows the user to expand the readahead window to double with
POSIX_FADV_SEQUENTIAL, now. But, in some use cases, it is not that
sufficient and we need to meet the need in a restricted way. We can
control the multiplier value of bdi device readahead between 2 (default)
and 256 for POSIX_FADV_SEQUENTIAL advise option.

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)

[7.] A small shell script or example program which triggers the
     problem (if possible)

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.

When creating a file, we need to set the temperature based on

the is_extension_exist will always returns true,

f2fs: add sysfs nodes to get GC info for each GC mode

2021-07-13T23:09:55+00:00

Added gc_reclaimed_segments and gc_segment_mode sysfs nodes.
1) "gc_reclaimed_segments" shows how many segments have been
reclaimed by GC during a specific GC mode.
2) "gc_segment_mode" is used to control for which gc mode
the "gc_reclaimed_segments" node shows.
