[ Upstream commit 77b0d113eec49a7390ff1a08ca1923e89f5f86c6 ]
When running defrag (manual defrag) against a file that has extents that
are contiguous and we already have the respective extent maps loaded and
merged, we end up not defragging the range covered by those contiguous
extents. This happens when we have an extent map that was the result of
merging multiple extent maps for contiguous extents and the length of the
merged extent map is greater than or equals to the defrag threshold
length.
The script below reproduces this scenario:
$ cat test.sh
#!/bin/bash
DEV=/dev/sdi
MNT=/mnt/sdi
mkfs.btrfs -f $DEV
mount $DEV $MNT
# Create a 256K file with 4 extents of 64K each.
xfs_io -f -c "falloc 0 64K" \
-c "pwrite 0 64K" \
-c "falloc 64K 64K" \
-c "pwrite 64K 64K" \
-c "falloc 128K 64K" \
-c "pwrite 128K 64K" \
-c "falloc 192K 64K" \
-c "pwrite 192K 64K" \
$MNT/foo
umount $MNT
echo -n "Initial number of file extent items: "
btrfs inspect-internal dump-tree -t 5 $DEV | grep EXTENT_DATA | wc -l
mount $DEV $MNT
# Read the whole file in order to load and merge extent maps.
cat $MNT/foo > /dev/null
btrfs filesystem defragment -t 128K $MNT/foo
umount $MNT
echo -n "Number of file extent items after defrag with 128K threshold: "
btrfs inspect-internal dump-tree -t 5 $DEV | grep EXTENT_DATA | wc -l
mount $DEV $MNT
# Read the whole file in order to load and merge extent maps.
cat $MNT/foo > /dev/null
btrfs filesystem defragment -t 256K $MNT/foo
umount $MNT
echo -n "Number of file extent items after defrag with 256K threshold: "
btrfs inspect-internal dump-tree -t 5 $DEV | grep EXTENT_DATA | wc -l
Running it:
$ ./test.sh
Initial number of file extent items: 4
Number of file extent items after defrag with 128K threshold: 4
Number of file extent items after defrag with 256K threshold: 4
The 4 extents don't get merged because we have an extent map with a size
of 256K that is the result of merging the individual extent maps for each
of the four 64K extents and at defrag_lookup_extent() we have a value of
zero for the generation threshold ('newer_than' argument) since this is a
manual defrag. As a consequence we don't call defrag_get_extent() to get
an extent map representing a single file extent item in the inode's
subvolume tree, so we end up using the merged extent map at
defrag_collect_targets() and decide not to defrag.
Fix this by updating defrag_lookup_extent() to always discard extent maps
that were merged and call defrag_get_extent() regardless of the minimum
generation threshold ('newer_than' argument).
A test case for fstests will be sent along soon.
