Subject: [PATCH v4] iomap: support tail packing inline read

This tries to add tail packing inline read to iomap, which can support
several inline tail blocks. Similar to the previous approach, it cleans
post-EOF in one iteration.

The write path remains untouched since EROFS cannot be used for testing.
It'd be better to be implemented if upcoming real users care rather than
leave untested dead code around.

Can we reduce the strength of these checks to a warning and an -EIO
return?

Hmm, so I guess the point of this is to support reading data from a
tail-packing block, where each file gets some arbitrary byte range
within the tp-block, and the range isn't aligned to an fs block? Hence
you have to use the inline data code to read the relevant bytes and copy
them into the pagecache?

Aka this thing from the v3 discussion:

Except ... is this diagram a little misleading? Each of these "file
blocks" isn't i_blocksize bytes in size, right? Because if they were,
you could use the standard iomap codepaths?

So the real layout might look a bit more like this?

|<--- inline data ---->|
_________________________________________________________________
| file1 | file2 |file3| file4 | file4 |
|<------------- page -------------->|<--- page ----...

(Sorry, /me isn't all that familiar with erofs layout...)

Same here, can we convert these to warnings + EIO return?

I'm not entirely sure that we need this check, tbh.

I think there are two distinct cases for IOMAP_INLINE. One is
where the tail of the file is literally embedded into the inode.
Like ext4 fast symbolic links. Taking the ext4 i_blocks layout
as an example, you could have a 4kB block stored in i_block[0]
and then store bytes 4096-4151 in i_block[1-14] (although reading
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/filesystems/ext4/dynamic.html
makes me think that ext4 only supports storing 0-59 in the i_blocks;
it doesn't support 0-4095 in i_block[0] and then 4096-4151 in i_blocks)

The other is what I think erofs is doing where, for example, you'd
specify in i_block[1] the block which contains the tail and then in
i_block[2] what offset of the block the tail starts at.

Yes, the source data isn't aligned to an fs block.

The disgram above describe logical file extents.

The real physical layout is like this:
_________________________________________________________
| ... | inode | inline data | other inodes | .... |
|<- arbitary length ->|

Nope, that is what erofs is like, erofs tail packing data inline with
inode itself, so when reading inode, the cache page itself can read
the tail blocks as well. When it read tail blocks again, it can save
I/O due to buffered before. Also this approach can save storage space
since it saves entire tail blocks as well.

I'm fine to get rid of this check, it just inherited from:
- BUG_ON(size > PAGE_SIZE - offset_in_page(iomap->inline_data));

It has no real effect, but when reading INLINE extent, its .iomap_begin()
does:
iomap->private = erofs_get_meta_page() /* get meta page */

and in the .iomap_end(), it does:
struct page *ipage = iomap->private;
if (ipage) {
unlock_page(ipage);
put_page(ipage);
}

Nope, EROFS inline data is embedded into the inode in order to save
I/O as well as space (maybe I didn't express clear before [1]).

I understand the other one, but it can only save storage space but
cannot save I/O (we still need another independent I/O to read its
meta buffered page).

In the view of INLINE extent itself, I think both ways can be
supported with this approach.

OH, I see, so you need the multi-page inline data support because the
ondisk layout is something like this:

+----------- page one ---------+----------- page two...
V V
+-------+-----------------------------+---------
| inode | inline data | inode...
+-------+-----------------------------+---------

And since you can only kmap one page at a time, an inline read grabs the
first part of the data in "page one" and then we have to call
iomap_begin a second time get a new address so that we can read the rest
from "page two"?

Nope, currently EROFS inline data won't cross page like this.

But in principle, yes, I don't want to limit it to the current
EROFS or gfs2 usage. I think we could make this iomap function
more generally (I mean, I'd like to make the INLINE extent
functionity as general as possible, my v1 original approach
in principle can support any inline extent in the middle of
file rather than just tail blocks, but zeroing out post-EOF
needs another iteration) and I don't see it add more code and
complexity.

Nono. Can we please limit this patch what we actually need right now,
and worry about extending it later?

Can you elaborate what it will benefit us if we only support one tail
block for iomap_read_inline_data()? (I mean it has similar LOC changes,
similar implementation / complexity.) The only concern I think is if
it causes gfs2 regression, so that is what I'd like to confirm.

In contrast, I'd like to avoid iomap_write_begin() tail-packing because
it's complex and no fs user interests in it for now. So I leave it
untouched for now.

Another concern I really like to convert EROFS to iomap is I'd like to
support sub-page blocksize for EROFS after converting. I don't want to
touch iomap inline code again like this since it interacts 2 directories
thus cause too much coupling.

Yes, we could do that.

I wanted to make sure the memcpy / memset won't corrupt random kernel
memory when the filesystem gets the iomap_begin wrong.

iomap_read_inline_data supports one inline page now (i.e., from the
beginning of the file). It seems that you don't need more than one
tail page in EROFS, right?

You were speculating about inline data in the middle of a file. That
sounds like a really, really bad idea to me, and I don't think we
should waste any time on it.

I have no idea what you mean by that.

Huh? why do you think it's a bad idea? I could give real example to you.

At least, it can be used for some encoded data or repeated pattern (such
as AABBAABBAABB...) in a packed way (marked in extent metadata).
Is that enough?

Again, I don't see what the benefits if limiting it to one tail block,
it (maybe) just modifies:
+ /* handle tail-packing blocks cross the current page into the next */
+ size = min_t(unsigned int, iomap->length + pos - iomap->offset,
+ PAGE_SIZE - poff);

to
+ size = min_t(unsigned int, i_blocksize(inode),
+ PAGE_SIZE - poff);

And which has the similar complexity, so why not using iomap->length
here instead?
