[PATCHv11 8/8] iomap: Add per-block dirty state tracking to improve performance

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

 



When filesystem blocksize is less than folio size (either with
mapping_large_folio_support() or with blocksize < pagesize) and when the
folio is uptodate in pagecache, then even a byte write can cause
an entire folio to be written to disk during writeback. This happens
because we currently don't have a mechanism to track per-block dirty
state within struct iomap_folio_state. We currently only track uptodate
state.

This patch implements support for tracking per-block dirty state in
iomap_folio_state->state bitmap. This should help improve the filesystem
write performance and help reduce write amplification.

Performance testing of below fio workload reveals ~16x performance
improvement using nvme with XFS (4k blocksize) on Power (64K pagesize)
FIO reported write bw scores improved from around ~28 MBps to ~452 MBps.

1. <test_randwrite.fio>
[global]
	ioengine=psync
	rw=randwrite
	overwrite=1
	pre_read=1
	direct=0
	bs=4k
	size=1G
	dir=./
	numjobs=8
	fdatasync=1
	runtime=60
	iodepth=64
	group_reporting=1

[fio-run]

2. Also our internal performance team reported that this patch improves
   their database workload performance by around ~83% (with XFS on Power)
