[PATCH v7 3/3] btrfs: prefer to allocate larger folio for metadata

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

 



For btrfs metadata, the high order folios are only utilized when all the
following conditions are met:

- The extent buffer start is aligned to nodesize
  This should be the common case for any btrfs in the last 5 years.

- The nodesize is larger than page size
  Or there is no need to use larger folios at all.

- MM layer can fulfill our folio allocation request

- The larger folio must exactly cover the extent buffer
  No longer no smaller, must be an exact fit.

  This is to make extent buffer accessors much easier.
  They only need to check the first slot in eb->folios[], to determine
  their access unit (need per-page handling or a large folio covering
  the whole eb).

There is another small blockage, filemap APIs can not guarantee the
folio size.
For example, by default we go 16K nodesize on x86_64, meaning a larger
folio we expect would be with order 2 (size 16K).
We don't accept 2 order 1 (size 8K) folios, or we fall back to 4 order 0
(page sized) folios.

So here we go a different workaround, allocate a order 2 folio first,
then attach them to the filemap of metadata.

Thus here comes several results related to the attach attempt of eb
folios:

1) We can attach the pre-allocated eb folio to filemap
   This is the most simple and hot path, we just continue our work
   setting up the extent buffer.

2) There is an existing folio in the filemap

   2.0) Subpage case
        We would reuse the folio no matter what, subpage is doing a
	different way handling folio->private (a bitmap other than a
	pointer to an existing eb).

   2.1) There is already a live extent buffer attached to the filemap
        folio
	This should be more or less hot path, we grab the existing eb
	and free the current one.

   2.2) No live eb.
   2.2.1) The filemap folio is larger than eb folio
          This is a better case, we can reuse the filemap folio, but
	  we need to cleanup all the pre-allocated folios of the
	  new eb before reusing.
	  Later code should take the folio size change into
	  consideration.

   2.2.2) The filemap folio is the same size of eb folio
          We just free the current folio, and reuse the filemap one.
	  No other special handling needed.

   2.2.3) The filemap folio is smaller than eb folio
          This is the most tricky corner case, we can not easily replace
	  the folio in filemap using our eb folio.

	  Thus here we return -EAGAIN, to inform our caller to re-try
	  with order 0 (of course with our larger folio freed).

Otherwise all the needed infrastructure is already here, we only need to
try allocate larger folio as our first try in alloc_eb_folio_array().

For now, the higher order allocation is only a preferable attempt for
debug build, before we had enough test coverage and push it to end
users.
