Thank you for the reminder, I hadn't thought about fallocate before.
I have done some tests and the results are as expected.
Here is my test method, create a compressed file, and use fallocate with keep
size, when write data to expand area, f2fs_prepare_compress_overwrite
always return 0, the behavior is same as my patch , apply my patch can avoid
those check.
Is there anything else I haven't thought of?
Nope, I didn't look into the implementation. Just a wild guess.
(I just wondered if the cluster size is somewhat large (e.g. 64k),
but with a partial fallocate (e.g. 16k), and does it behave ok?
or some other corner cases/conditions are needed.)
Xiang, sorry for late reply.
Now, f2fs triggers compression only if one cluster is fully written,
e.g. cluster size is 16kb, isize is 8kb, then the first cluster is
non-compressed one, so we don't need to prepare for compressed
cluster overwrite during write_begin(). Also, blocks fallocated
beyond isize should never be compressed, so we don't need to worry
about that.
Yeah, that could make it unnoticable. but my main concern is actually
not what the current runtime compression logic is, but what the on-disk
compresion format actually is, or there could cause compatibility
issue if some later kernel makes full use of this and use old kernels
That's related, if there is layout v2 or we updated runtime compression
policy later, it needs to reconsider newly introduced logic of this patch,
I guess we need to add comments here to indicate why we can skip the
preparation function.
instead (also considering some corrupted compression indexes, which
is not generated by the normal runtime compression logic.)
Yes, that's good concern, but that was not done by
f2fs_prepare_compress_overwrite(), another sanity check logic needs
to be designed and implemented in separated patch.
My own suggestion about this is still verifying compress indexes
first rather than relying much on runtime logic constraint. (Except
that this patch can show signifiant benefit performance numbers to
prove it can improve performance a lot.) Just my own premature
thoughts.
Fengnan, could you please give some numbers to show how that check can
impact performance?
Thanks,
Thanks,
Gao Xiang
Thanks,
If that is fine, I have no problem about this, yet i_size here
is generally somewhat risky since after post-EOF behavior
changes (e.g. supporting FALLOC_FL_ZERO_RANGE with keep size
later), it may cause some potential regression.

Even though I didn't look into the whole thing, my reaction here is roughly
how to handle fallocate with keep size? Does it work as expected?
