f2fs: remove the needless parameter of f2fs_wait_on_page_writeback

2014-01-14T08:45:54Z

"boo sync" parameter is never referenced in f2fs_wait_on_page_writeback. We should remove this parameter. Signed-off-by: Yuan Zhong Signed-off-by: Jaegeuk Kim

f2fs: add a sysfs entry to control max_victim_search

2014-01-08T04:45:08Z

Previously during SSR and GC, the maximum number of retrials to find a victim segment was hard-coded by MAX_VICTIM_SEARCH, 4096 by default. This number makes an effect on IO locality, when SSR mode is activated, which results in performance fluctuation on some low-end devices. If max_victim_search = 4, the victim will be searched like below. ("D" represents a dirty segment, and "*" indicates a selected victim segment.) D1 D2 D3 D4 D5 D6 D7 D8 D9 [ * ] [ * ] [ * ] [ ....] This patch adds a sysfs entry to control the number dynamically through: /sys/fs/f2fs/$dev/max_victim_search Signed-off-by: Jaegeuk Kim

f2fs: remove the rw_flag domain from f2fs_io_info

2013-12-23T01:18:07Z

When using the f2fs_io_info in the low level, we still need to merge the rw and rw_flag, so use the rw to hold all the io flags directly, and remove the rw_flag field. ps.It is based on the previous patch: f2fs: move all the bio initialization into __bio_alloc Signed-off-by: Gu Zheng Signed-off-by: Jaegeuk Kim

f2fs: refactor bio->rw handling

2013-12-23T01:18:06Z

This patch introduces f2fs_io_info to mitigate the complex parameter list. struct f2fs_io_info { enum page_type type; /* contains DATA/NODE/META/META_FLUSH */ int rw; /* contains R/RS/W/WS */ int rw_flag; /* contains REQ_META/REQ_PRIO */ } 1. f2fs_write_data_pages - DATA - WRITE_SYNC is set when wbc->WB_SYNC_ALL. 2. sync_node_pages - NODE - WRITE_SYNC all the time 3. sync_meta_pages - META - WRITE_SYNC all the time - REQ_META | REQ_PRIO all the time ** f2fs_submit_merged_bio() handles META_FLUSH. 4. ra_nat_pages, ra_sit_pages, ra_sum_pages - META - READ_SYNC Cc: Fan Li Cc: Changman Lee Signed-off-by: Jaegeuk Kim

f2fs: merge pages with the same sync_mode flag

2013-12-23T01:18:06Z

Previously f2fs submits most of write requests using WRITE_SYNC, but f2fs_write_data_pages submits last write requests by sync_mode flags callers pass. This causes a performance problem since continuous pages with different sync flags can't be merged in cfq IO scheduler(thanks yu chao for pointing it out), and synchronous requests often take more time. This patch makes the following modifies to DATA writebacks: 1. every page will be written back using the sync mode caller pass. 2. only pages with the same sync mode can be merged in one bio request. These changes are restricted to DATA pages.Other types of writebacks are modified To remain synchronous. In my test with tiotest, f2fs sequence write performance is improved by about 7%-10% , and this patch has no obvious impact on other performance tests.

f2fs: add unlikely() macro for compiler more aggressively

2013-12-23T01:18:06Z

This patch adds unlikely() macro into the most of codes. The basic rule is to add that when: - checking unusual errors, - checking page mappings, - and the other unlikely conditions. Change log from v1: - Don't add unlikely for the NULL test and error test: advised by Andi Kleen. Cc: Chao Yu Cc: Andi Kleen Reviewed-by: Chao Yu Signed-off-by: Jaegeuk Kim

f2fs: refactor bio-related operations

2013-12-23T01:18:05Z

This patch integrates redundant bio operations on read and write IOs. 1. Move bio-related codes to the top of data.c. 2. Replace f2fs_submit_bio with f2fs_submit_merged_bio, which handles read bios additionally. 3. Introduce __submit_merged_bio to submit the merged bio. 4. Change f2fs_readpage to f2fs_submit_page_bio. 5. Introduce f2fs_submit_page_mbio to integrate previous submit_read_page and submit_write_page.

f2fs: reclaim prefree segments periodically

2013-10-25T07:54:37Z

Previously, f2fs postpones reclaiming prefree segments into free segments as much as possible. However, if user writes and deletes a bunch of data without any sync or fsync calls, some flash storages can suffer from garbage collections. So, this patch adds the reclaiming codes to f2fs_write_node_pages and background GC thread. If there are a lot of prefree segments, let's do checkpoint so that f2fs submits discard commands for the prefree regions to the flash storage. Signed-off-by: Changman Lee Signed-off-by: Jaegeuk Kim
