Hi,
Please have a look at the patch attempting to handle the problem with deep extent tree.
There are cases (rather corner, but still) when a lot of extents are created initially, then
they get merged over time, but there is no way to merge blocks. Here is a simple example:
a file is written synchronously, all even blocks first, then odd blocks. Finally you may find
extents tree like this (data from debugs):
EXTENTS:
(ETB0):33796
(ETB1):33795
(0-677):2588672-2589349
(ETB1):2590753

(ETB1):2590747
(4758):2595478
(ETB1):2590726
…
Notice the most of the leave blocks have just a single extent, which doesn’t look very optimal.
With the patch applied (0.6% slower):
EXTENTS:
(ETB0):33796
(ETB1):2590736
(0-2047):2588672-2590719
(2048-11999):2592768-2602719
Originally the problem was hit with a real application operating on huge datasets and with just
27371 extents "inode has invalid extent depth: 6” problem occurred.
With the patch applied the application succeeded having finally 73637 in 3-level tree.
Thanks, Alex
