PATCH 1/2 resize2fs: Add support for lazy itable initialization

Lazy inode table initialization speeds up file system resize operation because we can let the inode tables uninitialized. For some time now the mke2fs has similar option and now, when we have in-kernel lazyinit implementation we can add this feature to the resize2fs as well.

This commit adds extended options '-E' to the resize2fs code along with the first extended option lazy_itable_init=n. With lazy_itable_init extended option one can instruct resize2fs to skip inode table initialization to significantly speed-up file system resize. If the option is omitted and the file system supports lazy inode table initialization it defaults to 1.

PATCH 2/2 resize2fs: Add discard support

This commit adds two new extended options - discard and nodiscard. When '-E discard' is specified, resize2fs will attempt to discard the portion of the device which will be used to extend the file system.

As a side-effect, if the discard also zeroes data (every subsequent read form discarded block will return zeros) resize2fs will skip inode table initialization, but still set the EXT2_BG_INODE_ZEROED flag. The default is 'nodiscard'.

This commit adds extended options '-E' to the resize2fs code along with the first extended option lazy_itable_init=n.

Here it says the option is "=n", is it also possible to force this with "=y"?

Here it parses the option as "=0" or "=1", not "=n" or "=y". It looks like "=n" will accidentally return 0 from strtoul(), so that works as expected, but the "=y" option would fail (it would also return 0).

As I mentioned it is not supposed to work with =y or =n, but only with =0 or =1. So I think it is expected, isn't it ?

PATCH 1/1 mke2fs: Add support for lazy journal initialization

This patch adds the ability to skip zeroing the journal on disk. This can significantly speed up mke2fs with large journals. At worst the uninitialized journal is only a very short-term risk (if at all), because the journal will be overwritten on any new filesystem as soon as any significant amount of data is written to disk, unlike lazy_itable_init which can leave uninitialized itable blocks indefinitely (in the absence of the kernel init thread).

Cheers, Andreas

Re: [PATCH] mke2fs: Add support for lazy journal initialization

Quoted 9 lines · Andreas Dilger

This patch adds the ability to skip zeroing the journal on disk. This can significantly speed up mke2fs with large journals. At worst the uninitialized journal is only a very short-term risk (if at all), because the journal will be overwritten on any new filesystem as soon as any significant amount of data is written to disk, unlike lazy_itable_init which can leave uninitialized itable blocks indefinitely (in the absence of the kernel init thread).

Cheers, Andreas

Hi Andreas,

I think that we can skip the journal zeroing if the underlying device, or the journal device supports discard, and advertise that discard zeroes data. It is the same behavior as in the case of inode tables and it would be nice to have the same thing for journal. Are you planning to implement this as well ?

Thanks!

That detection didn't exist when I originally wrote that patch. It definitely makes sense to default to not zeroing the journal if discard has been done.

In reply to Lukas Czerner
Quoted 11 lines · Lukas Czerner

Lazy inode table initialization speeds up file system resize operation because we can let the inode tables uninitialized. For some time now the mke2fs has similar option and now, when we have in-kernel lazyinit implementation we can add this feature to the resize2fs as well.

This commit adds extended options '-E' to the resize2fs code along with the first extended option lazy_itable_init=n, where n is a 0 or 1, though the '=n' argument can be omitted. With lazy_itable_init extended option one can instruct resize2fs to skip inode table initialization to significantly speed-up file system resize. If the option is omitted and the file system supports lazy inode table initialization it defaults to 1.

Hi Ted,

those two patches are lying long enough. Any chance merging them ? Or would I need to rebase and repost ?

Thanks!

Lazy inode table initialization speeds up file system resize operation because we can let the inode tables uninitialized. For some time now the mke2fs has similar option and now, when we have in-kernel lazyinit implementation we can add this feature to the resize2fs as well.

This commit adds extended options '-E' to the resize2fs code along with the first extended option lazy_itable_init=n. With lazy_itable_init extended option one can instruct resize2fs to skip inode table initialization to significantly speed-up file system resize. If the option is omitted and the file system supports lazy inode table initialization it defaults to 1.

Lazy inode table initialization speeds up file system resize operation because we can let the inode tables uninitialized. For some time now the mke2fs has similar option and now, when we have in-kernel lazyinit implementation we can add this feature to the resize2fs as well.

This commit adds extended options '-E' to the resize2fs code along with the first extended option lazy_itable_init=n. With lazy_itable_init extended option one can instruct resize2fs to skip inode table initialization to significantly speed-up file system resize. If the option is omitted and the file system supports lazy inode table initialization it defaults to 1.

Lazy inode table initialization speeds up file system resize operation because we can let the inode tables uninitialized. For some time now the mke2fs has similar option and now, when we have in-kernel lazyinit implementation we can add this feature to the resize2fs as well.

This commit adds extended options '-E' to the resize2fs code along with the first extended option lazy_itable_init=n. With lazy_itable_init extended option one can instruct resize2fs to skip inode table initialization to significantly speed-up file system resize. If the option is omitted and the file system supports lazy inode table initialization it defaults to 1.

Quadruple ping :)

Hi Ted,

I know that the code has probably already changed since I have posted the patch a _year ago_ not talking about the new resize interface. But do you think that it is worth ti trying to rebase it so you can merge it ? I am just asking so it does not hang in the mailing list for another year again :)

Thanks!
-Lukas

+Set extended options for the filesystem.  Extended options are comma
+separated, and may take an argument using the equals ('=') sign.
+The following extended options are supported:
+.RS 1.2i

+.B lazy_itable_init\fR[\fB= \fI<0 to disable, 1 to enable>\fR]
+If enabled and the uninit_bg feature is enabled, the inode table will

+This speeds up filesystem
+resize noticeably, but it requires the kernel to finish
+initializing the filesystem in the background when the filesystem is
+mounted.  If the option value is omitted, it defaults to 1 to
+enable lazy inode table initialization.
 .SH KNOWN BUGS
 The minimum size of the filesystem as estimated by resize2fs may be
 incorrect, especially for filesystems with 1k and 2k blocksizes.
