Theodore Ts'o ebd173beb8 ext4: move procfs registration code to fs/ext4/sysfs.c
This allows us to refactor the procfs code, which saves a bit of
compiled space.  More importantly it isolates most of the procfs
support code into a single file, so it's easier to #ifdef it out if
the proc file system has been disabled.

Jan Kara 2be12de98a ext4: introduce aging to extent status tree
Introduce a simple aging to extent status tree. Each extent has a
REFERENCED bit which gets set when the extent is used. Shrinker then
skips entries with referenced bit set and clears the bit. Thus
frequently used extents have higher chances of staying in memory.

Jan Kara 624d0f1dd7 ext4: cleanup flag definitions for extent status tree
Currently flags for extent status tree are defined twice, once shifted
and once without a being shifted. Consolidate these definitions into one
place and make some computations automatic to make adding flags less
error prone. Compiler should be clever enough to figure out these are
constants and generate the same code.

Jan Kara b0dea4c165 ext4: move handling of list of shrinkable inodes into extent status code
Currently callers adding extents to extent status tree were responsible
for adding the inode to the list of inodes with freeable extents. This
is error prone and puts list handling in unnecessarily many places.

Just add inode to the list automatically when the first non-delay extent
is added to the tree and remove inode from the list when the last
non-delay extent is removed.

Zheng Liu edaa53cac8 ext4: change LRU to round-robin in extent status tree shrinker
In this commit we discard the lru algorithm for inodes with extent
status tree because it takes significant effort to maintain a lru list
in extent status tree shrinker and the shrinker can take a long time to
scan this lru list in order to reclaim some objects.

We replace the lru ordering with a simple round-robin.  After that we
never need to keep a lru list.  That means that the list needn't be
sorted if the shrinker can not reclaim any objects in the first round.

Zheng Liu eb68d0e2fc ext4: track extent status tree shrinker delay statictics
This commit adds some statictics in extent status tree shrinker.  The
purpose to add these is that we want to collect more details when we
encounter a stall caused by extent status tree shrinker.  Here we count
the following statictics:
  stats:
    the number of all objects on all extent status trees
    the number of reclaimable objects on lru list
    cache hits/misses
    the last sorted interval
    the number of inodes on lru list
  average:
    scan time for shrinking some objects
    the number of shrunk objects
  maximum:
    the inode that has max nr. of objects on lru list
    the maximum scan time for shrinking some objects

The output looks like below:
  $ cat /proc/fs/ext4/sda1/es_shrinker_info
  stats:
    28228 objects
    6341 reclaimable objects
    5281/631 cache hits/misses
    586 ms last sorted interval
    250 inodes on lru list
  average:
    153 us scan time
    128 shrunk objects
  maximum:
    255 inode (255 objects, 198 reclaimable)
    125723 us max scan time

If the lru list has never been sorted, the following line will not be
printed:
    586ms last sorted interval
If there is an empty lru list, the following lines also will not be
printed:
    250 inodes on lru list
  ...
  maximum:
    255 inode (255 objects, 198 reclaimable)
    0 us max scan time

Meanwhile in this commit a new trace point is defined to print some
details in __ext4_es_shrink().

Avoid false positives by static code analysis tools such as sparse and
coverity caused by the fact that we set the physical block, and then
the status in the extent_status structure.  It is also more efficient

Zheng Liu d7b2a00c2e ext4: isolate ext4_extents.h file
After applied the commit (4a092d73), we have reduced the number of
source files that need to #include ext4_extents.h.  But we can do
better.

This commit defines ext4_zeroout_es() in extents.c and move
EXT_MAX_BLOCKS into ext4.h in order not to include ext4_extents.h in
indirect.c and ioctl.c.  Meanwhile we just need to include this file in
extent_status.c when ES_AGGRESSIVE_TEST is defined.  Otherwise, this
commit removes a duplicated declaration in trace/events/ext4.h.

After applied this patch, we just need to include ext4_extents.h file
in {super,migrate,move_extents,extents}.c, and it is easy for us to
define a new extent disk layout.

Theodore Ts'o 107a7bd31a ext4: cache all of an extent tree's leaf block upon reading
When we read in an extent tree leaf block from disk, arrange to have
all of its entries cached.  In nearly all cases the in-memory
representation will be more compact than the on-disk representation in
the buffer cache, and it allows us to get the information without
having to traverse the extent tree for successive extents.

Theodore Ts'o 3be78c7317 ext4: use unsigned int for es_status values
Don't use an unsigned long long for the es_status flags; this requires
that we pass 64-bit values around which is painful on 32-bit systems.
Instead pass the extent status flags around using the low 4 bits of an
unsigned int, and shift them into place when we are reading or writing
es_pblk.

Zheng Liu d3922a777f ext4: improve extent cache shrink mechanism to avoid to burn CPU time
Now we maintain an proper in-order LRU list in ext4 to reclaim entries
from extent status tree when we are under heavy memory pressure.  For
keeping this order, a spin lock is used to protect this list.  But this
lock burns a lot of CPU time.  We can use the following steps to trigger
it.

  % cd /dev/shm
  % dd if=/dev/zero of=ext4-img bs=1M count=2k
  % mkfs.ext4 ext4-img
  % mount -t ext4 -o loop ext4-img /mnt
  % cd /mnt
  % for ((i=0;i<160;i++)); do truncate -s 64g $i; done
  % for ((i=0;i<160;i++)); do cp $i /dev/null &; done
  % perf record -a -g
  % perf report

This commit tries to fix this problem.  Now a new member called
i_touch_when is added into ext4_inode_info to record the last access
time for an inode.  Meanwhile we never need to keep a proper in-order
LRU list.  So this can avoid to burns some CPU time.  When we try to
reclaim some entries from extent status tree, we use list_sort() to get
a proper in-order list.  Then we traverse this list to discard some
entries.  In ext4_sb_info, we use s_es_last_sorted to record the last
time of sorting this list.  When we traverse the list, we skip the inode
that is newer than this time, and move this inode to the tail of LRU
list.  When the head of the list is newer than s_es_last_sorted, we will
sort the LRU list again.

In this commit, we break the loop if s_extent_cache_cnt == 0 because
that means that all extents in extent status tree have been reclaimed.

Meanwhile in this commit, ext4_es_{un}register_shrinker()'s prototype is
changed to save a local variable in these functions.

Yan, Zheng e30b5dca15 ext4: fix fio regression
We (Linux Kernel Performance project) found a regression introduced
by commit:

  f7fec032aa ext4: track all extent status in extent status tree

The commit causes about 20% performance decrease in fio random write
test. Profiler shows that rb_next() uses a lot of CPU time. The call
stack is:

  rb_next
  ext4_es_find_delayed_extent
  ext4_map_blocks
  _ext4_get_block
  ext4_get_block_write
  __blockdev_direct_IO
  ext4_direct_IO
  generic_file_direct_write
  __generic_file_aio_write
  ext4_file_write
  aio_rw_vect_retry
  aio_run_iocb
  do_io_submit
  sys_io_submit
  system_call_fastpath
  io_submit
  td_io_getevents
  io_u_queued_complete
  thread_main
  main
  __libc_start_main

The cause is that ext4_es_find_delayed_extent() doesn't have an
upper bound, it keeps searching until a delayed extent is found.
When there are a lots of non-delayed entries in the extent state
tree, ext4_es_find_delayed_extent() may uses a lot of CPU time.

Zheng Liu adb2355104 ext4: update extent status tree after an extent is zeroed out

Theodore Ts'o 8e919d1304 ext4: fix extent status tree regression for file systems > 512GB
This fixes a regression introduced by commit f7fec032aa.  The
problem was that the extents status flags caused us to mask out block
numbers smaller than 2**28 blocks.  Since we didn't test with file
systems smaller than 512GB, we didn't notice this during the
development cycle.

A typical failure looks like this:

EXT4-fs error (device sdb1): htree_dirblock_to_tree:919: inode #172235804: block
152052301: comm ls: bad entry in directory: rec_len is smaller than minimal -
offset=0(0), inode=0, rec_len=0, name_len=0

... where 'debugfs -R "stat <172235804>" /dev/sdb1' reports that the
inode has block number 688923213.  When viewed in hex, block number
152052301 (from the syslog) is 0x910224D, while block number 688923213
is 0x2910224D.  Note the missing "0x20000000" in the block number.

Zheng Liu 74cd15cd02 ext4: reclaim extents from extent status tree
Although extent status is loaded on-demand, we also need to reclaim
extent from the tree when we are under a heavy memory pressure because
in some cases fragmented extent tree causes status tree costs too much
memory.

Here we maintain a lru list in super_block.  When the extent status of
an inode is accessed and changed, this inode will be move to the tail
of the list.  The inode will be dropped from this list when it is
cleared.  In the inode, a counter is added to count the number of
cached objects in extent status tree.  Here only written/unwritten/hole
extent is counted because delayed extent doesn't be reclaimed due to
fiemap, bigalloc and seek_data/hole need it.  The counter will be
increased as a new extent is allocated, and it will be decreased as a
extent is freed.

In this commit we use normal shrinker framework to reclaim memory from
the status tree.  ext4_es_reclaim_extents_count() traverses the lru list
to count the number of reclaimable extents.  ext4_es_shrink() tries to
reclaim written/unwritten/hole extents from extent status tree.  The
inode that has been shrunk is moved to the tail of lru list.

Zheng Liu d100eef244 ext4: lookup block mapping in extent status tree
After tracking all extent status, we already have a extent cache in
memory.  Every time we want to lookup a block mapping, we can first
try to lookup it in extent status tree to avoid a potential disk I/O.

A new function called ext4_es_lookup_extent is defined to finish this
work.  When we try to lookup a block mapping, we always call
ext4_map_blocks and/or ext4_da_map_blocks.  So in these functions we
first try to lookup a block mapping in extent status tree.

A new flag EXT4_GET_BLOCKS_NO_PUT_HOLE is used in ext4_da_map_blocks
in order not to put a hole into extent status tree because this hole
will be converted to delayed extent in the tree immediately.
