This patchset can be fetched from the following github repo, along with
the full subpage RW support:
https://github.com/adam900710/linux/tree/subpage
This patchset is for metadata read write support.
[FULL RW TEST]
Since the data write path is not included in this patchset, we can't
really test the patchset itself, but anyone can grab the patch from
github repo and do fstests/generic tests.
But at least the full RW patchset can pass -g generic/quick -x defrag
for now.
There are some known issues:
- Defrag behavior change
Since current defrag is doing per-page defrag, to support subpage
defrag, we need some change in the loop.
E.g. if a page has both hole and regular extents in it, then defrag
will rewrite the full 64K page.
Thus for now, defrag related failure is expected.
But this should only cause behavior difference, no crash nor hang is
expected.
- No compression support yet
There are at least 2 known bugs if forcing compression for subpage
* Some hard coded PAGE_SIZE screwing up space rsv
* Subpage ASSERT() triggered
This is because some compression code is unlocking locked_page by
calling extent_clear_unlock_delalloc() with locked_page == NULL.
So for now compression is also disabled.
- Inode nbytes mismatch
Still debugging.
The fastest way to trigger is fsx using the following parameters:
fsx -l 262144 -o 65536 -S 30073 -N 256 -R -W $mnt/file > /tmp/fsx
Which would cause inode nbytes differs from expected value and
triggers btrfs check error.
[DIFFERENCE AGAINST REGULAR SECTORSIZE]
The metadata part in fact has more new code than data part, as it has
some different behaviors compared to the regular sector size handling:
- No more page locking
Now metadata read/write relies on extent io tree locking, other than
page locking.
This is to allow behaviors like read lock one eb while also try to
read lock another eb in the same page.
We can't rely on page lock as now we have multiple extent buffers in
the same page.
- Page status update
Now we use subpage wrappers to handle page status update.
- How to submit dirty extent buffers
Instead of just grabbing extent buffer from page::private, we need to
iterate all dirty extent buffers in the page and submit them.
[CHANGELOG]
v2:
- Rebased to latest misc-next
No conflicts at all.
- Add new sysfs interface to grab supported RO/RW sectorsize
This will allow mkfs.btrfs to detect unmountable fs better.
- Use newer naming schema for each patch
No more "extent_io:" or "inode:" schema anymore.
- Move two pure cleanups to the series
Patch 2~3, originally in RW part.
- Fix one uninitialized variable
Patch 6.
v3:
- Rename the sysfs to supported_sectorsizes
- Rebased to latest misc-next branch
This removes 2 cleanup patches.
- Add new overview comment for subpage metadata
Qu Wenruo (13):
btrfs: add sysfs interface for supported sectorsize
btrfs: use min() to replace open-code in btrfs_invalidatepage()
btrfs: remove unnecessary variable shadowing in btrfs_invalidatepage()
btrfs: refactor how we iterate ordered extent in
btrfs_invalidatepage()
btrfs: introduce helpers for subpage dirty status
btrfs: introduce helpers for subpage writeback status
btrfs: allow btree_set_page_dirty() to do more sanity check on subpage
metadata
btrfs: support subpage metadata csum calculation at write time
btrfs: make alloc_extent_buffer() check subpage dirty bitmap
btrfs: make the page uptodate assert to be subpage compatible
btrfs: make set/clear_extent_buffer_dirty() to be subpage compatible
btrfs: make set_btree_ioerr() accept extent buffer and to be subpage
compatible
btrfs: add subpage overview comments
