Greeting,
FYI, we noticed a -60.5% regression of stress-ng.fiemap.ops_per_sec
due to commit:
commit: d3b6f23f71670007817a5d59f3fbafab2b794e8c ("ext4: move
ext4_fiemap to use iomap framework")
https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git master
in testcase: stress-ng
on test machine: 96 threads Intel(R) Xeon(R) Gold 6252 CPU @ 2.10GHz
with 192G memory
with following parameters:
nr_threads: 10%
disk: 1HDD
testtime: 1s
class: os
cpufreq_governor: performance
ucode: 0x500002c
fs: ext4
I started looking into this issue. But with my unit testing, I didn't
find any perf issue with fiemap ioctl call. I haven't yet explored about
how stress-ng take fiemap performance numbers, it could be doing
something differently. But in my testing I just made sure to create a
file with large number of extents and used xfs_io -c "fiemap -v" cmd
to check how much time it takes to read all the entries in 1st
and subsequent iterations.
Setup comprised of qemu machine on x86_64 with latest linux branch.
1. created a file of 10G using fallocate. (this allocated unwritten
extents for this file).
2. Then I punched hole on every alternate block of file. This step took
a long time. And after sufficiently long time, I had to cancel it.
for i in $(seq 1 2 xxxxx); do echo $i; fallocate -p -o $(($i*4096)) -l
4096; done
3. Then issued fiemap call via xfs_io and took the time measurement.
time xfs_io -c "fiemap -v" bigfile > /dev/null
Perf numbers on latest default kernel build for above cmd.
1st iteration
==============
real 0m31.684s
user 0m1.593s
sys 0m24.174s
2nd and subsequent iteration
============================
real 0m3.379s
user 0m1.300s
sys 0m2.080s
4. Then I reverted all the iomap_fiemap patches and re-tested this.
With this the older ext4_fiemap implementation will be tested:-
1st iteration
==============
real 0m31.591s
user 0m1.400s
sys 0m24.243s
2nd and subsequent iteration (had to cancel it since it was taking more
time then 15m)
============================
^C^C
real 15m49.884s
user 0m0.032s
sys 15m49.722s
I guess the reason why 2nd iteration with older implementation is taking
too much time is since with previous implementation we never cached
extent entries in extent_status tree. And also in 1st iteration the page
cache may get filled with lot of buffer_head entries. So maybe page
reclaims are taking more time.
While with the latest implementation using iomap_fiemap(), the call to
query extent blocks is done using ext4_map_blocks(). ext4_map_blocks()
by default will also cache the extent entries into extent_status tree.
Hence during 2nd iteration, we will directly read the entries from
extent_status tree and will not do any disk I/O.

Could you try stress-ng( https://kernel.ubuntu.com/~cking/stress-ng/)
test cases? The tarballs can be get from
https://kernel.ubuntu.com/~cking/tarballs/stress-ng/.
The command for this case you can try "stress-ng --timeout 1 --times
--verify --metrics-brief --sequential 9 --class os --minimize --exclude
spawn,exec,swap"
I re-test it on the v5.8-rc6, the regression still existed.
