It is appeared that extent are not cached for inodes with depth == 0 which result in suboptimal extent status populating inside ext4_map_blocks() by map's result where size requested is usually smaller than extent size so cache becomes fragmented # Example: I have plain file: File size of /mnt/test is 33554432 (8192 blocks of 4096 bytes) ext: logical_offset: physical_offset: length: expected: flags: 0: 0.. 8191: 40960.. 49151: 8192: last,eof $ perf record -e 'ext4:ext4_es_*' /root/bin/fio --name=t --direct=0 --rw=randread --bs=4k --filesize=32M --size=32M --filename=/mnt/test $ perf script | grep ext4_es_insert_extent | head -n 10 fio 131 [000] 13.975421: ext4:ext4_es_insert_extent: dev 253,0 ino 12 es [494/1) mapped 41454 status W fio 131 [000] 13.975939: ext4:ext4_es_insert_extent: dev 253,0 ino 12 es [6064/1) mapped 47024 status W fio 131 [000] 13.976467: ext4:ext4_es_insert_extent: dev 253,0 ino 12 es [6907/1) mapped 47867 status W fio 131 [000] 13.976937: ext4:ext4_es_insert_extent: dev 253,0 ino 12 es [3850/1) mapped 44810 status W fio 131 [000] 13.977440: ext4:ext4_es_insert_extent: dev 253,0 ino 12 es [3292/1) mapped 44252 status W fio 131 [000] 13.977931: ext4:ext4_es_insert_extent: dev 253,0 ino 12 es [6882/1) mapped 47842 status W fio 131 [000] 13.978376: ext4:ext4_es_insert_extent: dev 253,0 ino 12 es [3117/1) mapped 44077 status W fio 131 [000] 13.978957: ext4:ext4_es_insert_extent: dev 253,0 ino 12 es [2896/1) mapped 43856 status W fio 131 [000] 13.979474: ext4:ext4_es_insert_extent: dev 253,0 ino 12 es [7479/1) mapped 48439 status W This is wrong, we should cache extents inside ext4_find_extent() as we already do for inodes with depth > 0 Signed-off-by: Dmitry Monakhov <dmonakhov@xxxxxxxxx> --- fs/ext4/extents.c | 47 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++-------------------- 1 file changed, 27 insertions(+), 20 deletions(-) diff --git a/fs/ext4/extents.c b/fs/ext4/extents.c index fb0f99d..24d6bfd 100644 --- a/fs/ext4/extents.c +++ b/fs/ext4/extents.c @@ -498,6 +498,30 @@ int ext4_ext_check_inode(struct inode *inode) return ext4_ext_check(inode, ext_inode_hdr(inode), ext_depth(inode), 0); } +static void ext4_es_cache_extents(struct inode *inode, + struct ext4_extent_header *eh) +{ + struct ext4_extent *ex = EXT_FIRST_EXTENT(eh); + ext4_lblk_t prev = 0; + int i; + + for (i = le16_to_cpu(eh->eh_entries); i > 0; i--, ex++) { + unsigned int status = EXTENT_STATUS_WRITTEN; + ext4_lblk_t lblk = le32_to_cpu(ex->ee_block); + int len = ext4_ext_get_actual_len(ex); + + if (prev && (prev != lblk)) + ext4_es_cache_extent(inode, prev, lblk - prev, ~0, + EXTENT_STATUS_HOLE); + + if (ext4_ext_is_unwritten(ex)) + status = EXTENT_STATUS_UNWRITTEN; + ext4_es_cache_extent(inode, lblk, len, + ext4_ext_pblock(ex), status); + prev = lblk + len; + } +} + static struct buffer_head * __read_extent_tree_block(const char *function, unsigned int line, struct inode *inode, ext4_fsblk_t pblk, int depth, @@ -532,26 +556,7 @@ __read_extent_tree_block(const char *function, unsigned int line, */ if (!(flags & EXT4_EX_NOCACHE) && depth == 0) { struct ext4_extent_header *eh = ext_block_hdr(bh); - struct ext4_extent *ex = EXT_FIRST_EXTENT(eh); - ext4_lblk_t prev = 0; - int i; - - for (i = le16_to_cpu(eh->eh_entries); i > 0; i--, ex++) { - unsigned int status = EXTENT_STATUS_WRITTEN; - ext4_lblk_t lblk = le32_to_cpu(ex->ee_block); - int len = ext4_ext_get_actual_len(ex); - - if (prev && (prev != lblk)) - ext4_es_cache_extent(inode, prev, - lblk - prev, ~0, - EXTENT_STATUS_HOLE); - - if (ext4_ext_is_unwritten(ex)) - status = EXTENT_STATUS_UNWRITTEN; - ext4_es_cache_extent(inode, lblk, len, - ext4_ext_pblock(ex), status); - prev = lblk + len; - } + ext4_es_cache_extents(inode, eh); } return bh; errout: @@ -899,6 +904,8 @@ ext4_find_extent(struct inode *inode, ext4_lblk_t block, path[0].p_bh = NULL; i = depth; + if (!(flags & EXT4_EX_NOCACHE) && depth == 0) + ext4_es_cache_extents(inode, eh); /* walk through the tree */ while (i) { ext_debug("depth %d: num %d, max %d\n", -- 2.7.4
