Hello,
Here is the third version of my mballoc improvements to avoid spreading
allocations with mb_optimize_scan=1. Since v2 there are only small changes and
fixes found during review and testing. Overall the series looks mostly ready to
go, I just didn't see any comments regarding patch 3 - a fix of metabg handling
in the Orlov allocator which is kind of independent, I've just found it when
reading the code. Also patch 5 needs final review after all the fixes.
Changes since v1:
- reworked data structure for CR 1 scan
- make small closed files use locality group preallocation
- fix metabg handling in the Orlov allocator
Changes since v2:
- whitespace fixes
- fix outdated comment
- fix handling of mb_structs_summary procfs file
- fix bad unlock on error recovery path
Original cover letter:
The patches fix the performance regression I was able to reproduce with reaim
on my test machine:

Hmean disk-321 265435.50 ( 0.00%) 245412.84 * -7.54%* 267277.27 ( 0.69%)
The changes also significanly reduce spreading of allocations for small /
moderately sized files. I'm not able to measure a performance difference
resulting from this but on eMMC storage this seems to be the main culprit
of reduced performance. Untarring of raspberry-pi archive touches following
numbers of groups:
mb_optimize_scan=0 mb_optimize_scan=1 patched
groups 4 22 7
To achieve this I have added two more changes on top of v1 - patches 4 and 5.
Patch 4 makes sure we use locality group preallocation even for files that are
not likely to grow anymore (previously we have disabled all preallocations for
such files, however locality group preallocation still makes a lot of sense for
such files). This patch reduced spread of a small file allocations but larger
file allocations were still spread significantly because they avoid locality
group preallocation and as they are not power-of-two in size, they also
immediately start with cr=1 scan. To address that I've changed the data
structure for looking up the best block group to allocate from (see patch 5
for details).

Previous versions:
Link: http://lore.kernel.org/r/[email protected] # v1
Link: http://lore.kernel.org/r/[email protected] # v2
Curently we don't use any preallocation when a file is already closed
when allocating blocks (from writeback code when converting delayed
allocation). However for small files, using locality group preallocation
is actually desirable as that is not specific to a particular file.
Rather it is a method to pack small files together to reduce
fragmentation and for that the fact the file is closed is actually even
stronger hint the file would benefit from packing. So change the logic
to allow locality group preallocation in this case.

2.35.3
mb_set_largest_free_order() updates lists containing groups with largest
chunk of free space of given order. The way it updates it leads to
always moving the group to the tail of the list. Thus allocations
looking for free space of given order effectively end up cycling through
all groups (and due to initialization in last to first order). This
spreads allocations among block groups which reduces performance for
rotating disks or low-end flash media. Change
mb_set_largest_free_order() to only update lists if the order of the
largest free chunk in the group changed.

2.35.3
Using rbtree for sorting groups by average fragment size is relatively
expensive (needs rbtree update on every block freeing or allocation) and
leads to wide spreading of allocations because selection of block group
is very sentitive both to changes in free space and amount of blocks
allocated. Furthermore selecting group with the best matching average
fragment size is not necessary anyway, even more so because the
variability of fragment sizes within a group is likely large so average
is not telling much. We just need a group with large enough average
fragment size so that we have high probability of finding large enough
free extent and we don't want average fragment size to be too big so
that we are likely to find free extent only somewhat larger than what we
need.
So instead of maintaing rbtree of groups sorted by fragment size keep
bins (lists) or groups where average fragment size is in the interval
[2^i, 2^(i+1)). This structure requires less updates on block allocation
/ freeing, generally avoids chaotic spreading of allocations into block
groups, and still is able to quickly (even faster that the rbtree)
provide a block group which is likely to have a suitably sized free
space extent.
This patch reduces number of block groups used when untarring archive
with medium sized files (size somewhat above 64k which is default
mballoc limit for avoiding locality group preallocation) to about half
and thus improves write speeds for eMMC flash significantly.

unfortunately the real patches doesn't have v3 which leads to confusion.
Just a note: in case this series cannot be applied for stable (5.15), we
need a second solution to fix the regression there.

Hello Jan,
I have reviewed the patch and also verified bb_fragments. That indeed will
atleast be 1 (ext4_mb_generate_buddy()) as you had mentioned.
The patch looks good to me. Please feel free to add:

Yeah, OK, I've updated my scripting for posting patches to include version
in each posted patch :)

My plan is to backport the current series. It is not that invasive so it
should be doable...

This would be great.
Btw i retested this version and i can confirm the procfs crash is fixed.
