Subject: [PATCH] Btrfs: don't wait for the completion of all the
ordered extents
It is very likely that there are lots of ordered extents in the
filesytem,
if we wait for the completion of all of them when we want to
reclaim some
space for the metadata space reservation, we would be blocked for
a long
time. The performance would drop down suddenly for a long time.
Here we introduce a simple reclaim_priority variable, the higher the
value, the higher the priority, 0 is the minimum priority. The core
idea is:
if (reclaim_priority >= 3)
to_reclaim =
percpu_counter_sum_positive(&root->fs_info->delalloc_bytes);
else
to_reclaim = orig * (2 << (reclaim_priority + 1));
As the priority increases, we try wo write more delalloc bytes, here
orig
is the number of metadata we want to reserve. Meanwhile if
"reclaim_priority >= 3" returns true, we'll also wait all current
ordered
extents to finish.
Ok this is closer to what I want but not quite there. I want to get
rid of the magic numbers, so we start with
#define BTRFS_DEFAULT_FLUSH_PRIORITY 3
and once priority == 0 we know it's time to flush and wait for all the
things. Then we use the priority as a multiplier, with DEFAULT being
no multiplier, so it would look something like this
if (reclaim_priority)
to_reclaim = orig * (2 << BTRFS_DEFAULT_FLUSH_PRIORITY - priority);
else
to_reclaim = delalloc_bytes;
if (reclaim_priority)
items_to_wait = calc_reclaim_items_nr(root, to_reclaim);
else
items_to_wait = -1;
and then instead of
if (reclaim_priority > 3) {
wake_all_tickets(&space_info->tickets);
...
we can change the while loop to be
while ((flush_state <= COMMIT_TRANS) || (--reclaim_priority >= 0));
and move the wake_all_tickets() to outside the loop, and add a
if (flush_state > COMMIT_TRANS)
flush_state = FLUSH_DELAYED_ITEMS_NR;
to the start of the do loop. Does that make sense? Thanks,
Yes, thanks for your kindly help.
For "wake_all_tickets()", I think we still need to put it in the while loop,
If we move it outside, we need to relock btrfs_space_info's lock, but
here there maybe some race window, some new tickets maybe added in,
we should not wake up them directly and should also do some flush work
for them.
