[PATCH 0/6] bcache-tools: improve large bucket on-disk layout

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Current large bucket layout is a preparation for the future zoned cache
device, by which the cache device bucket can be aligned to zone size and
boundary of the zoned SSD.

Original patch introduces bucket_size_hi in struct cache_sb_disk, this
is problematic and can be improved,
- The bucket size is always power-of-2 value, it is unnecessary to add
  extra space in struct cache_sb_disk to store the real size value. Just
  using existing bucket_size to store the order of power-of-2 value is
  enough.
- The added bucket_size_hi is behind d[SB_JOURNAL_BUCKETS] in struct
  cache_sb_disk, which breaks a very implicit restriction from macro
  csum_set(). This restriction requires member d[] must be the last
  member in data structure to calculate the checksum.

This series is to improve the above issue from user space tools. Basic
ideas of this series are,
- Add BCH_FEATURE_INCOMPAT_LOG_LARGE_BUCKET_SIZE incompat feature bit.
  When it is set, for bucket size >16MB, bucket_size stores the order
  of power-of-2 bucket size value. Then no extra space introduced and
  csum_set() has all data to calculate super block checksum.
- Rename struct cache_sb_disk's bucket_size_hi to obso_bucket_size_hi,
  and rename the incompat feature bit BCH_FEATURE_INCOMPAT_LARGE_BUCKET
  to BCH_FEATURE_INCOMPAT_OBSO_LARGE_BUCKET, to indicate they are not
  used anymore and obsoleted.
- If a cache device was created for bucket size >16MB with obsoleted
  layout, "bcache show" command still display the expected bucket size
  value for legacy compatibility purpose.

Although there almost no one else uses bucket size >16MB except me (the
btree node usage code is not optimized yet), it is still necessary to
fix and improve the layout usage as soon as possible.
