[PATCH v2 0/8] ENOSPC delalloc flushing fixes

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



v1->v2:
- Two extra patches to remove the last user of sync_inode() (p9fs) and then
  remove sync_inode() itself, as per hch's request

--- Original email ---

Hello,

I've been debugging and fixing a problem we hit in production related to getting
ENOSPC when we still should have had space to use.  A variety of different
things were going wrong, but one of them was sometimes we wouldn't wait for all
of delalloc to be flushed.  This series of patches fixes a few problems in this
area, starting with

  btrfs: handle shrink_delalloc pages calculation differently

When we switched to writing pages instead of full inodes for flushing we didn't
adjust the counters to give us pages, instead using the "items" amount.  This is
incorrect as we'd just not flush that much delalloc, leaving a lot laying around
when we finally ENOSPC'd.

The next bit are related to compression, as we have compression on everywhere in
production.

  btrfs: wait on async extents when flushing delalloc
  btrfs: wake up async_delalloc_pages waiters after submit

I ripped this code out because I added a second sync_inode() if we had async
extents in order to do the proper waiting.  However sync_inode() could skip
writeout if writeout had begun already on the inode, so we still need this
waiting in order to make sure we don't try to wait on ordered extents until all
ordered extents have been created.

And finally these two patches

  fs: add a filemap_fdatawrite_wbc helper
  btrfs: use the filemap_fdatawrite_wbc helper for delalloc shrinking

We need a writeback helper that will take a wbc and not try to do anything fancy
other than write out the inode we want.  sync_inode() has the drawback that it
will skip writeout if the inode is currently under writeback, and thus we won't
wait properly.

I ran this series through fsperf, the results ar eposted below.  I'm still
printing the %diff, but I'm also printing the stdev so you can see the variance
in teh values we expect.  Generally there is no change or it's within the normal
range.  These patches really only affect anything when we're very full on space.

I also ran this through the enospc stress test and saw no early enospc.  Thanks,

Josef
