Hey Baokun,
Thanks for fixing this. This patch looks good to me, feel free to add:
Reviewed-by: Ojaswin Mujoo <ojaswin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>
my comments after this are less about the patch and more about some
thoughts on the working of average fragment lists.
So going through the v2 and this patch got me thinking about what really
is going to happen when a user tries to allocate 32768 blocks which is also
the maximum value we could have in say ac->ac_g_ex.fe_len.
When this happens, ext4_mb_regular_allocator() will directly set the
criteria as CR_GOAL_LEN_FAST. Now, we'll follow:
ext4_mb_choose_next_group_goal_fast()
for (i=mb_avg_fragment_size_order(); i < MB_NUM_ORDERS; i++) { .. }
Here, mb_avg_fragment_siz_order() will do something like:
order = fls(32768) - 2 = 14
...
if (order == MB_NUM_ORDERS(sb))
order--;
return order;
And we'll look in the fragment list[13] and since none of the groups
there would have 32768 blocks free (since we dont track it here) we'll
unnecessarily traverse the full list before falling to CR_BEST_AVAIL_LEN
(this will become a noop due to the way order and min_order
are calculated) and eventually to CR_GOAL_LEN_SLOW where we might get
something or end up splitting.
I think something more optimal would be to:
1. Add another entry to average fragment lists for completely empty
groups. (As a sidenote i think we should use something like MB_NUM_FRAG_ORDER
instead of MB_NUM_ORDERS in calculating limits related to average
fragment lists since the NUM_ORDERS seems to be the buddy max order ie
8192 blocks only valid for CR_POWER2 and shouldn't really limit the
fragment size lists)
2. If we don't want to go with 1 (maybe there's some history for that),
then probably should exit early from CR_GOAL_LEN_FAST so that we don't
iterate there.
Would like to hear your thoughts on it Baokun, Jan.
