From: Darrick J. Wong <djwong@xxxxxxxxxx>
Currently, phase 8 runs very slowly on filesystems with a lot of small
free space extents. To reduce the amount of time spent on fstrim
activities during phase 8, we want to balance estimated runtime against
completeness of the trim. In short, the goal is to reduce runtime by
avoiding small trim requests.
At the start of phase 8, a CDF is computed in decreasing order of extent
length from the histogram buckets created during the fsmap scan in phase
7. A point corresponding to the fstrim percentage target is chosen from
the CDF and mapped back to a histogram bucket, and free space extents
smaller than that amount are ommitted from fstrim.
On my aging /home filesystem, the free space histogram reported by
xfs_spaceman looks like this:
from to extents blocks pct blkcdf extcdf

>From this table, we see that free space extents that are 16 blocks or
longer constitute 99.3% of the free space in the filesystem but only
27.5% of the extents. If we set the fstrim minlen parameter to 16
blocks, that means that we can trim over 99% of the space in one third
of the time it would take to trim everything.
Add a new -o fstrim_pct= option to xfs_scrub just in case there are
users out there who want a different percentage. For example, accepting
a 95% trim would net us a speed increase of nearly two orders of
magnitude, ignoring system call overhead. Setting it to 100% will trim
everything, just like fstrim(8).
