Re: [PATCH v3 4/5] ext4: improve cr 0 / cr 1 group scanning

Hi all,

Thanks Andreas and Artem for the feedback. I'll incorporate these
suggestions in the next version of the patchset.

In our discussions above, we have been trying to fine tune the flow of
the block allocator based on different use cases. I wonder given the
number of different allocation paths that now exist and given their
own pros and cons, does it make sense to consider adding an eBPF hook
in the allocator path and let the user-space be involved in some of
decisions based on the use case? For example, a system that cares most
about the fragmentation levels and performance can choose to do this
fast path and skip other paths like prealloc, linear search, search by
goal etc.

Having an eBPF hook in the allocator can also allow for following
other enhancements:

1) Allocator behavior can be dynamically configured. For example, if
we reach a threshold fragmentation level, turn off linear allocation.

2) Different allocation paths can be used for different regions of the disk.

3) The userspace can have a say in how files are laid on the disk. On
a rotational disk, mysql can choose to keep its files together, while
directing any non-mysql files to be written farther away from mysql
files. Also, different applications can have a different allocation
path based on their latency requirements.

Having said that, I'm not sure what kind of performance impact we'll
see by putting an eBPF hook in the allocation path. Also, given that
we don't yet have an ecosystem around eBPF in Ext4 (or file systems in
general), this is really a far-fetched idea and may take a long time
to become mature enough to be usable in production.

This is just an idea that I wanted to share, this patch series doesn't
do or intend to do anything that's mentioned above.

Thanks,
Harshad
