Subject: [PATCH] ext4: disable mount with both dioread_nolock and nodelalloc
Date:   Wed, 31 Jul 2019 21:06:00 +0800
Message-Id: <20190731130600.7867-1-xiaoguang.wang@linux.alibaba.com>
Sender: linux-ext4-owner@vger.kernel.org
Precedence: bulk

Mount with both dioread_nolock and nodelalloc will result in huge
performance drop, which indeed is an known issue, so before we fix
this issue, currently we disable this behaviour. Below test reproducer
can reveal this performance drop.

    mount -o remount,dioread_nolock,delalloc /dev/vdb1
    rm -f testfile
    start_time=$(date +%s)
    dd if=/dev/zero of=testfile bs=4096 count=$((1024*256))
    sync
    end_time=$(date +%s)
    echo $((end_time - start_time))

    mount -o remount,dioread_nolock,nodelalloc /dev/vdb1
    rm -f testfile
    start_time=$(date +%s)
    dd if=/dev/zero of=testfile bs=4096 count=$((1024*256))
    sync
    end_time=$(date +%s)
    echo $((end_time - start_time))
