So, how about adding SBI_BLOCK_OPS /* For s_flag in struct f2fs_sb_info */ enum { SBI_IS_DIRTY, /* dirty flag for checkpoint */ SBI_IS_CLOSE, /* specify unmounting */ SBI_NEED_FSCK, /* need fsck.f2fs to fix */ SBI_POR_DOING, /* recovery is doing or not */ SBI_NEED_SB_WRITE, /* need to recover superblock */ SBI_NEED_CP, /* need to checkpoint */ === SBI_BLOCK_OPS, /* doing block_operations */ === }; How aboud avoiding f2fs_balance_fs() in __write_data_page() by: if (!is_sbi_flag_set(sbi, SBI_BLOCK_OPS) || !S_ISDIR(inode->i_mode)) f2fs_balance_fs(); In block_operations(), set_sbi_flag(sbi, SBI_BLOCK_OPS); ... clear_sbi_flag(sbi, SBI_BLOCK_OPS); Thanks, > > Reported-by: Chao Yu <yuchao0@xxxxxxxxxx> > Signed-off-by: Yunlong Song <yunlong.song@xxxxxxxxxx> > --- > fs/f2fs/checkpoint.c | 2 +- > fs/f2fs/data.c | 67 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++------- > fs/f2fs/f2fs.h | 1 + > 3 files changed, 61 insertions(+), 9 deletions(-) > > diff --git a/fs/f2fs/checkpoint.c b/fs/f2fs/checkpoint.c > index 3c84a25..2882878 100644 > --- a/fs/f2fs/checkpoint.c > +++ b/fs/f2fs/checkpoint.c > @@ -904,7 +904,7 @@ int sync_dirty_inodes(struct f2fs_sb_info *sbi, enum inode_type type) > if (inode) { > unsigned long cur_ino = inode->i_ino; > > - filemap_fdatawrite(inode->i_mapping); > + f2fs_filemap_fdatawrite(inode->i_mapping, is_dir); > iput(inode); > /* We need to give cpu to another writers. */ > if (ino == cur_ino) { > diff --git a/fs/f2fs/data.c b/fs/f2fs/data.c > index aefc2a5..ed7efa5 100644 > --- a/fs/f2fs/data.c > +++ b/fs/f2fs/data.c > @@ -1475,7 +1475,7 @@ int do_write_data_page(struct f2fs_io_info *fio) > } > > static int __write_data_page(struct page *page, bool *submitted, > - struct writeback_control *wbc) > + struct writeback_control *wbc, bool do_balance) > { > struct inode *inode = page->mapping->host; > struct f2fs_sb_info *sbi = F2FS_I_SB(inode); > @@ -1578,7 +1578,7 @@ static int __write_data_page(struct page *page, bool *submitted, > } > > unlock_page(page); > - if (!S_ISDIR(inode->i_mode)) > + if (do_balance) > f2fs_balance_fs(sbi, need_balance_fs); > > if (unlikely(f2fs_cp_error(sbi))) { > @@ -1602,7 +1602,7 @@ static int __write_data_page(struct page *page, bool *submitted, > static int f2fs_write_data_page(struct page *page, > struct writeback_control *wbc) > { > - return __write_data_page(page, NULL, wbc); > + return __write_data_page(page, NULL, wbc, true); > } > > /* > @@ -1611,7 +1611,7 @@ static int f2fs_write_data_page(struct page *page, > * warm/hot data page. > */ > static int f2fs_write_cache_pages(struct address_space *mapping, > - struct writeback_control *wbc) > + struct writeback_control *wbc, bool do_balance) > { > int ret = 0; > int done = 0; > @@ -1701,7 +1701,7 @@ static int f2fs_write_cache_pages(struct address_space *mapping, > if (!clear_page_dirty_for_io(page)) > goto continue_unlock; > > - ret = __write_data_page(page, &submitted, wbc); > + ret = __write_data_page(page, &submitted, wbc, do_balance); > if (unlikely(ret)) { > /* > * keep nr_to_write, since vfs uses this to > @@ -1756,8 +1756,8 @@ static int f2fs_write_cache_pages(struct address_space *mapping, > return ret; > } > > -static int f2fs_write_data_pages(struct address_space *mapping, > - struct writeback_control *wbc) > +static int _f2fs_write_data_pages(struct address_space *mapping, > + struct writeback_control *wbc, bool do_balance) > { > struct inode *inode = mapping->host; > struct f2fs_sb_info *sbi = F2FS_I_SB(inode); > @@ -1794,7 +1794,7 @@ static int f2fs_write_data_pages(struct address_space *mapping, > goto skip_write; > > blk_start_plug(&plug); > - ret = f2fs_write_cache_pages(mapping, wbc); > + ret = f2fs_write_cache_pages(mapping, wbc, do_balance); > blk_finish_plug(&plug); > > if (wbc->sync_mode == WB_SYNC_ALL) > @@ -1813,6 +1813,57 @@ static int f2fs_write_data_pages(struct address_space *mapping, > return 0; > } > > +static int f2fs_write_data_pages(struct address_space *mapping, > + struct writeback_control *wbc) > +{ > + return _f2fs_write_data_pages(mapping, wbc, true); > +} > + > +/* > + * This function was copied from do_writepages from mm/page-writeback.c. > + * The major change is changing writepages to _f2fs_write_data_pages. > + */ > +static int f2fs_do_writepages(struct address_space *mapping, > + struct writeback_control *wbc, bool is_dir) > +{ > + int ret; > + > + if (wbc->nr_to_write <= 0) > + return 0; > + while (1) { > + ret = _f2fs_write_data_pages(mapping, wbc, !is_dir); > + if ((ret != -ENOMEM) || (wbc->sync_mode != WB_SYNC_ALL)) > + break; > + cond_resched(); > + congestion_wait(BLK_RW_ASYNC, HZ/50); > + } > + return ret; > +} > + > +/* > + * This function was copied from __filemap_fdatawrite_range from > + * mm/filemap.c.
