Subject: [PATCH v2 0/4] ext4: improve delalloc buffer write performance

Changes since v1:

- Patch 1: add comments to explain why and how to update i_disksize in
ext4_da_write_end().
- Patch 3: update i_disksize only if copied is not zero and drop
i_size_changed parameter, also drop unused EXT4_STATE_JDATA
and i_datasync_tid update code hook.

Thanks,
Yi.

--------

Original description:

This patchset address to improve buffer write performance with delalloc.
The first patch reduce the unnecessary update i_disksize, the second two
patch refactor the inline data write procedure and also do some small
fix, the last patch do improve by remove all unnecessary journal handle
in the delalloc write procedure.

After this patch set, we could get a lot of performance improvement.
Below is the Unixbench comparison data test on my machine with 'Intel
Xeon Gold 5120' CPU and nvme SSD backend.

Test cmd:

./Run -c 56 -i 3 fstime fsbuffer fsdisk

Subject: [PATCH v2 4/4] ext4: drop unnecessary journal handle in delalloc write

After we factor out the inline data write procedure from
ext4_da_write_end(), we don't need to start journal handle for the cases
of both buffer overwrite and append-write. If we need to update
i_disksize, mark_inode_dirty() do start handle and update inode buffer.
So we could just remove all the journal handle codes in the delalloc
write procedure.

After this patch, we could get a lot of performance improvement. Below

Subject: [PATCH v2 3/4] ext4: factor out write end code of inline file

Now that the inline_data file write end procedure are falled into the
common write end functions, it is not clear. Factor them out and do
some cleanup. This patch also drop ext4_da_write_inline_data_end()
and switch to use ext4_write_inline_data_end() instead because we also
need to do the same error processing if we failed to write data into
inline entry.

Subject: [PATCH v2 1/4] ext4: check and update i_disksize properly

After commit 3da40c7b0898 ("ext4: only call ext4_truncate when size <=
isize"), i_disksize could always be updated to i_size in ext4_setattr(),
and we could sure that i_disksize <= i_size since holding inode lock and
if i_disksize < i_size there are delalloc writes pending in the range
upto i_size. If the end of the current write is <= i_size, there's no
need to touch i_disksize since writeback will push i_disksize upto
i_size eventually. So we can switch to check i_size instead of
i_disksize in ext4_da_write_end() when write to the end of the file.
we also could remove ext4_mark_inode_dirty() together because we defer
inode dirtying to generic_write_end() or ext4_da_write_inline_data_end().

Subject: [PATCH v2 2/4] ext4: correct the error path of ext4_write_inline_data_end()

Current error path of ext4_write_inline_data_end() is not correct.

Firstly, it should pass out the error value if ext4_get_inode_loc()
return fail, or else it could trigger infinite loop if we inject error
here. And then it's better to add inode to orphan list if it return fail
in ext4_journal_stop(), otherwise we could not restore inline xattr
entry after power failure. Finally, we need to reset the 'ret' value if
ext4_write_inline_data_end() return success in ext4_write_end() and
ext4_journalled_write_end(), otherwise we could not get the error return
value of ext4_journal_stop().

Just two small comments below.

I don't think we need this error handling here. For inline data we never
allocate any blocks so shorter writes don't need any cleanup.

And this can go away as well...

Yeah, but if we don't call ext4_truncate_failed_write()->..->
ext4_inline_data_truncate(), it will lead to incorrect larger i_inline_size
and data entry. Although it seems harmless (i_size can prevent read zero
data), I think it's better to restore the data entry(the comments need
change later), or else it will occupy more xattr space. What do you think ?

Thanks,
Yi.

Good point. I've found this out last time when I was reviewing your patches
and then forgot again. So please leave the code there but fix this
misleading comment:

/*
* If we have allocated more blocks and copied less. We will have
* blocks allocated outside inode->i_size, so truncate them.
*/

Something like:

/*
* If we didn't copy as much data as expected, we need to trim back size of
* xattr containing inline data.
*/
