2014-03-20f2fs: throttle the memory footprint with a sysfs entryJaegeuk Kim
This patch introduces ram_thresh, a sysfs entry, which controls the memory footprint used by the free nid list and the nat cache. Previously, the free nid list was controlled by MAX_FREE_NIDS, while the nat cache was managed by NM_WOUT_THRESHOLD. However, this approach cannot be applied dynamically according to the system. So, this patch adds ram_thresh that users can specify the threshold, which is in order of 1 / 1024. For example, if the total ram size is 4GB and the value is set to 10 by default, f2fs tries to control the number of free nids and nat caches not to consume over 10 * (4GB / 1024) = 10MB.

2014-03-20f2fs: avoid to drop nat entries due to the negative nr_shrinkJaegeuk Kim

2014-03-20f2fs: call f2fs_wait_on_page_writeback instead of native functionJaegeuk Kim
If a page is on writeback, f2fs can face with deadlock due to under writepages. This is caused by merging IOs inside f2fs, so if it comes to detect, let's throw merged IOs, which is implemented by f2fs_wait_on_page_writeback. Signed-off-by: Jaegeuk Kim <jaegeuk.kim@samsung.com>

2014-03-10f2fs: optimize restore_node_summary slightlyGu Zheng
Previously, we ra_sum_pages to pre-read contiguous pages as more as possible, and if we fail to alloc more pages, an ENOMEM error will be reported upstream, even though we have alloced some pages yet. In fact, we can use the available pages to do the job partly, and continue the rest in the following circle. Only reporting ENOMEM upstream if we really can not alloc any available page. And another fix is ignoring dealing with the following pages if an EIO occurs when reading page from page_list.

2014-01-08f2fs: improve write performance under frequent fsync callsJaegeuk Kim
When considering a bunch of data writes with very frequent fsync calls, we are able to think the following performance regression. N: Node IO, D: Data IO, IO scheduler: cfq Issue pending IOs D1 D2 D3 D4 D1 D2 D3 D4 N1 D2 D3 D4 N1 N2 N1 D3 D4 N2 D1 --> N1 can be selected by cfq becase of the same priority of N and D. Then D3 and D4 would be delayed, resuling in performance degradation. So, when processing the fsync call, it'd better give higher priority to data IOs than node IOs by assigning WRITE and WRITE_SYNC respectively. This patch improves the random wirte performance with frequent fsync calls by up to 10%. Signed-off-by: Jaegeuk Kim <jaegeuk.kim@samsung.com>
2014-01-06f2fs: fix truncate_partial_nodes bugshifei10.ge
The truncate_partial_nodes puts pages incorrectly in the following two cases. Note that the value for argc 'depth' can only be 2 or 3. Please see truncate_inode_blocks() and truncate_partial_nodes(). 1) An err is occurred in the first 'for' loop When err is occurred with depth = 2, pages[0] is invalid, so this page doesn't need to be put. There is no problem, however, when depth is 3, it doesn't put the pages correctly where pages[0] is valid and pages[1] is invalid. In this case, depth is set to 2 (ref to statemnt depth = i + 1), and then 'goto fail'. In label 'fail', for (i = depth - 3; i >= 0; i--) cannot meet the condition because i = -1, so pages[0] cann't be put. 2) An err happened in the second 'for' loop Now we've got pages[0] with depth = 2, or we've got pages[0] and pages[1] with depth = 3. When an err is detected, we need 'goto fail' to put such the pages. When depth is 2, in label 'fail', for (i = depth - 3; i >= 0; i--) cann't meet the condition because i = -1, so pages[0] cann't be put. When depth is 3, in label 'fail', for (i = depth - 3; i >= 0; i--) can only put pages[0], pages[1] also cann't be put. Note that 'depth' has been changed before first 'goto fail' (ref to statemnt depth = i + 1), so passing this modified 'depth' to the tracepoint, trace_f2fs_truncate_partial_nodes, is also incorrect.

2013-09-05f2fs: merge more bios of node block writesJaegeuk Kim
Previously, we experience bio traces as follows when running simple sequential write test. f2fs_do_submit_bio: type = NODE, io = no sync, sector = 500104928, size = 4K f2fs_do_submit_bio: type = NODE, io = no sync, sector = 499922208, size = 368K f2fs_do_submit_bio: type = NODE, io = no sync, sector = 499914752, size = 140K -> total 512K The first one is to write an indirect node block, and the others are to write direct node blocks. The reason why there are two separate bios for direct node blocks is: 0. initial state ------------------ ------------------ | | |xxxxxxxx | ------------------ ------------------ 1. write 368K ------------------ ------------------ | | |xxxxxxxxWWWWWWWW| ------------------ ------------------ 2. write 140K ------------------ ------------------ |WWWWWWW | |xxxxxxxxWWWWWWWW| ------------------ ------------------ This is because f2fs_write_node_pages tries to write just 512K totally, so that we can lose the chance to merge more bios nicely. After this patch is applied, we can get the following bio traces. f2fs_do_submit_bio: type = NODE, io = no sync, sector = 500103168, size = 8K f2fs_do_submit_bio: type = NODE, io = no sync, sector = 500111368, size = 4K f2fs_do_submit_bio: type = NODE, io = no sync, sector = 500107272, size = 512K f2fs_do_submit_bio: type = NODE, io = no sync, sector = 500108296, size = 512K f2fs_do_submit_bio: type = NODE, io = no sync, sector = 500109320, size = 500K And finally, we can improve the sequential write performance, from 458.775 MB/s to 479.945 MB/s on SSD.
