[PATCH 5.4 02/23] btrfs: do not commit logs and transactions during link and rename operations
From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Fri Aug 06 2021 - 04:20:07 EST
From: Filipe Manana <fdmanana@xxxxxxxx>
[ Upstream commit 75b463d2b47aef96fe1dc3e0237629963034764b ]
Since commit d4682ba03ef618 ("Btrfs: sync log after logging new name") we
started to commit logs, and fallback to transaction commits when we failed
to log the new names or commit the logs, after link and rename operations
when the target inodes (or their parents) were previously logged in the
current transaction. This was to avoid losing directories despite an
explicit fsync on them when they are ancestors of some inode that got a
new named logged, due to a link or rename operation. However that adds the
cost of starting IO and waiting for it to complete, which can cause higher
latencies for applications.
Instead of doing that, just make sure that when we log a new name for an
inode we don't mark any of its ancestors as logged, so that if any one
does an fsync against any of them, without doing any other change on them,
the fsync commits the log. This way we only pay the cost of a log commit
(or a transaction commit if something goes wrong or a new block group was
created) if the application explicitly asks to fsync any of the parent
directories.
Using dbench, which mixes several filesystems operations including renames,
revealed some significant latency gains. The following script that uses
dbench was used to test this:
#!/bin/bash
DEV=/dev/nvme0n1
MNT=/mnt/btrfs
MOUNT_OPTIONS="-o ssd -o space_cache=v2"
MKFS_OPTIONS="-m single -d single"
THREADS=16
echo "performance" | tee /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu*/cpufreq/scaling_governor
mkfs.btrfs -f $MKFS_OPTIONS $DEV
mount $MOUNT_OPTIONS $DEV $MNT
dbench -t 300 -D $MNT $THREADS
umount $MNT
The test was run on bare metal, no virtualization, on a box with 12 cores
(Intel i7-8700), 64Gb of RAM and using a NVMe device, with a kernel
configuration that is the default of typical distributions (debian in this
case), without debug options enabled (kasan, kmemleak, slub debug, debug
of page allocations, lock debugging, etc).
