I wonder, should iomap be nice and not require filesystems to set
io_block_size themselves unless they really need it?

That's what I had in v3, like:

if (iomap->io_block_size)
	io_block_size = iomap->io_block_size;
else
	io_block_size = i_block_size(inode)

but it was suggested to change that (to like what I have here).

Anyone working on
an iomap port while this patchset is in progress may or may not remember
to add this bit if they get their port merged after atomicwrites is
merged; and you might not remember to prevent the bitrot if the reverse
order happens.

Sure, I get your point.

However, OTOH, if we check xfs_bmbt_to_iomap(), it does set all or close to all members of struct iomap, so we are just continuing that trend, i.e. it is the job of the FS callback to set all these members.

Please don't opencode this twice.

static unsigned int offset_in_block(loff_t pos, u64 blocksize)
{
	if (likely(is_power_of_2(blocksize)))
		return pos & (blocksize - 1);
	return do_div(pos, blocksize);
}

ok, fine


		pad = offset_in_block(pos, io_block_size);
		if (pad)
			...

Also, what happens if pos-pad points to a byte before the mapping?

It's the job of the FS to map in something aligned to io_block_size. Having said that, I don't think we are doing that for XFS (which sets io_block_size > i_block_size(inode)), so I need to check that.

as above, we expect this to be mapped in (so ok to zero)

size in bytes?

I'm not sure what "io block zeroing" means.

Naming is hard. Essentally we are trying to reuse the sub-fs block zeroing code for sub-extent granule writes. More below.

What are you trying to
accomplish here?  Let's say the fsblock size is 4k and the allocation
unit (aka the atomic write size) is 16k.

ok, so I say here that the extent granule is 16k

Userspace wants a direct write
to file offset 8192-12287, and that space is unwritten:

uuuu
   ^

Currently we'd just write the 4k and run the io completion handler, so
the final state is:

uuWu

Instead, if the fs sets io_block_size to 16384, does this direct write
now amplify into a full 16k write?

Yes, but only when the extent is newly allocated and we require zeroing.

With the end result being:
ZZWZ

Yes


only.... I don't see the unwritten areas being converted to written?

See xfs_iomap_write_unwritten() change in the next patch

I guess for an atomic write you'd require the user to write 0-16383?

Not exactly


<still confused about why we need to do this, maybe i'll figure it out
as I go along>

This zeroing is just really required for atomic writes. The purpose is to zero the extent granule for any write within a newly allocated granule.

Consider we have uuWu, above. If the user then attempts to write the full 16K as an atomic write, the iomap iter code would generate writes for sizes 8k, 4k, and 4k, i.e. not a single 16K write. This is not acceptable. So the idea is to zero the full extent granule when allocated, so we have ZZWZ after the 4k write at offset 8192, above. As such, if we then attempt this 16K atomic write, we get a single 16K BIO, i.e. there is no unwritten extent conversion.

I am not sure if we should be doing this only for atomic writes inodes, or also forcealign only or RT.

Thanks,
John
