Subject: [RFC PATCH v4 8/8] xfs: improve truncate on a realtime inode with huge extsize

From: Zhang Yi <[email protected]>

If we truncate down a realtime inode which extsize is too large, zeroing
out the entire aligned EOF extent could be very slow. Fortunately,
__xfs_bunmapi() would align the unmapped range to rtextsize, split and
convert the extra blocks to unwritten state. So, adjust the blocksize to
the filesystem blocksize if the rtextsize is large enough, let
__xfs_bunmapi() to convert the tail blocks to unwritten, this could
improve the truncate performance significantly.

# mkfs.xfs -f -rrtdev=/dev/pmem1s -f -m reflink=0,rmapbt=0, \
-d rtinherit=1 -r extsize=1G /dev/pmem2s
# for i in {1..5}; \
do dd if=/dev/zero of=/mnt/scratch/$i bs=1M count=1024; done
# sync
# time for i in {1..5}; \
do xfs_io -c "truncate 4k" /mnt/scratch/$i; done

There are <cough> some users that want 1G extents.

For the rest of us who don't live in the stratosphere, it's convenient
for fsdax to have rt extents that match the PMD size, which could be
large on arm64 (e.g. 512M, or two smr sectors).

I don't think we need (2) at all.

There's likely some threshold below where it's a wash -- compare with
ext4 strategy of trying to write 64k chunks even if that requires
zeroing pagecache to cut down on fragmentation on hdds -- but I don't
know if we care anymore. ;)

That's fine. Maybe to rephrase my question. With this series we
have 3 different truncate path:

1) unmap all blocks (!rt || rtextsizse == 1)
2) zero leftover blocks in an rtextent (small rtextsize, but > 1)
3) converted leftover block in an rtextent to unwritten (large
rtextsize)

What is the right threshold to switch between 2 and 3? And do we
really need 2) at all?

The default rtextsize is actually a single FSB unless we're on a striped
volume in which case it is increased.

I'll take care of removing the unused and confusing XFS_DFL_RTEXTSIZE,
but for this patch we'd need to know the trade-off of when to just
convert to unwritten. For single-fsb rtextents we obviously don't need
any special action. But do you see a slowdown when converting to
unwritten for small > 1 rtextsizes? Because if not we could just
always use that code path, which would significantly simplify things
and remove yet another different to test code path.

I supplemented some tests for small > 1 rtextsizes on my ramdisk,

mkfs.xfs -f -m reflink=0,rmapbt=0, -d rtinherit=1 \
-r rtdev=/dev/pmem1s,extsize=$rtextsize /dev/pmem2s
mount -ortdev=/dev/pmem1s /dev/pmem2s /mnt/scratch
for i in {1..1000}; \
do dd if=/dev/zero of=/mnt/scratch/$i bs=$rtextsize count=1; done
sync
time for i in {1..1000}; \
do xfs_io -c "truncate 4k" /mnt/scratch/$i; done

rtextsize 8k 16k 32k 64k 256k 1024k
zero out: 9.601s 10.229s 11.153s 12.086s 12.259s 20.141s
convert unwritten: 9.710s 9.642s 9.958s 9.441s 10.021s 10.526s

The test showed that there is no much difference between (2) and (3)
with small rtextsize, but if the size gets progressively larger, (3)
will be better, so I agree with you that we could just drop (2) for
rt device.

Thanks,
Yi.
