v2 cover enable bs > ps in XFS

From: Pankaj Raghav <[email protected]>

This is the second version of the series that enables block size > page size (Large Block Size) in XFS. The context and motivation can be seen in cover letter of the RFC v1[1]. We also recorded a talk about this effort at LPC [3], if someone would like more context on this effort.

A lot of emphasis has been put on testing using kdevops. The testing has been split into regression and progression.

Regression testing:
In regression testing, we ran the whole test suite to check for *regression on existing profiles due to the page cache changes.

No regression was found with the patches added on top.

*Baseline for regression was created using SOAK_DURATION of 2.5 hours and having used about 7-8 XFS test clusters to test loop fstests over 70 times. We then scraped for critical failures (crashes, XFS or page cache asserts, or hung tasks) and have reported these to the community as well.[4]

Progression testing:
For progression testing, we tested for 8k, 16k, 32k and 64k block sizes. To compare it with existing support, an ARM VM with 64k base page system (without our patches) was used as a reference to check for actual failures due to LBS support in a 4k base page size system.

There are some common failures upstream for bs=64k that needs to be fixed[5].
There are also some tests that assumes block size < page size that needs to be fixed. I have a tree with fixes for xfstests here [6], which I will be sending soon to the list.

No new failures were found with the LBS support.

We've done some preliminary performance tests with fio on XFS on 4k block size against pmem and NVMe with buffered IO and Direct IO on vanilla v6.8-rc4 Vs v6.8-rc4 + these patches applied, and detected no regressions.

We also wrote an eBPF tool called blkalgn [7] to see if IO sent to the device is aligned and at least filesystem block size in length.

Changes since v1:
- Round up to nearest min nr pages in ra_init
- Calculate index in filemap_create instead of doing in filemap_get_pages
- Remove unnecessary BUG_ONs in the delete path
- Use check_shl_overflow instead of check_mul_overflow
- Cast to uint32_t instead of unsigned long in xfs_stat_blksize

Changes since RFC v2:
- Move order 1 patch above the 1st patch
- Remove order == 1 conditional in fs: Allow fine-grained control of folio sizes. This fixed generic/630 that was reported in the previous version.
- Hide the max order and expose mapping_set_folio_min_order instead.
- Add new helper mapping_start_index_align and DEFINE_READAHEAD_ALIGN
- don't call page_cache_ra_order with min order in do_mmap_sync_readahead
- simplify ondemand readahead with only aligning the start index at the end
- Don't cap ra_pages based on bdi->io_pages
- use checked_mul_overflow while calculating bytes in validate_fsb
- Remove config lbs option
- Add a warning while mounting a LBS kernel
- Add Acked-by and Reviewed-by from Hannes and Darrick.

Changes since RFC v1:
- Added willy's patch to enable order-1 folios.
- Unified common page cache effort from Hannes LBS work.
- Added a new helper min_nrpages and added CONFIG_THP for enabling mapping_large_folio_support
- Don't split a folio if it has minorder set. Remove the old code where we set extra pins if it has that requirement.
- Split the code in XFS between the validation of mapping count. Put the icache code changes with enabling bs > ps.
- Added CONFIG_XFS_LBS option
- align the index in do_read_cache_folio()
- Removed truncate changes
- Fixed generic/091 with iomap changes to iomap_dio_zero function.
- Took care of folio truncation scenario in page_cache_ra_unbounded() that happens after read_pages if a folio was found.
- Sqaushed and moved commits around
- Rebased on top of v6.8-rc4

Hannes Reinecke (1):
readahead: rework loop in page_cache_ra_unbounded()

Luis Chamberlain (3):
filemap: align the index to mapping_min_order in the page cache
readahead: round up file_ra_state->ra_pages to mapping_min_nrpages
readahead: align index to mapping_min_order in ondemand_ra and
force_ra

Matthew Wilcox (Oracle) (2):
mm: Support order-1 folios in the page cache
fs: Allow fine-grained control of folio sizes

Pankaj Raghav (7):
filemap: use mapping_min_order while allocating folios
readahead: allocate folios with mapping_min_order in
ra_(unbounded|order)
mm: do not split a folio if it has minimum folio order requirement
iomap: fix iomap_dio_zero() for fs bs > system page size
xfs: expose block size in stat
xfs: make the calculation generic in xfs_sb_validate_fsb_count()
xfs: enable block size larger than page size support

PATCH v2 1/13 mm: Support order-1 folios in the page cache

From: "Matthew Wilcox (Oracle)" <[email protected]>

Folios of order 1 have no space to store the deferred list. This is not a problem for the page cache as file-backed folios are never placed on the deferred list. All we need to do is prevent the core MM from touching the deferred list for order 1 folios and remove the code which prevented us from allocating order 1 folios.

PATCH v2 3/13 filemap: align the index to mapping_min_order in the page cache

In reply to Pankaj Raghav (Samsung)

From: Luis Chamberlain <[email protected]>

Supporting mapping_min_order implies that we guarantee each folio in the page cache has at least an order of mapping_min_order. So when adding new folios to the page cache we must ensure the index used is aligned to the mapping_min_order as the page cache requires the index to be aligned to the order of the folio.

A higher order folio than min_order by definition is a multiple of the min_order. If an index is aligned to an order higher than a min_order, it will also be aligned to the min order.

This effectively introduces no new functional changes when min order is not set other than a few rounding computations that should result in the same value.

My point was that you didn't need to do any of this.

Look, I've tried to give constructive review, but I feel like I'm going to have to be blunt. There is no evidence of design or understanding in these patches or their commit messages. You don't have a coherent message about "These things have to be aligned; these things can be at arbitrary alignment". If you have thought about it, it doesn't show.

Maybe you just need to go back over the patches and read them as a series, but it feels like "Oh, there's a hole here, patch it; another hole here, patch it" without thinking about what's going on and why.

I want to help, but it feels like it'd be easier to do all the work myself at this point, and that's not good for me, and it's not good for you.

So, let's start off: Is the index in ractl aligned or not, and why do you believe that's the right approach? And review each of the patches in this series with the answer to that question in mind because you are currently inconsistent.

Thanks for the feedback, and I get your comment about inconsistentency, especially in the part where we align the index probably in places where it doesn't even matter. As someone who is a bit new to the inner workings of the page cache, I was a bit unsure about choosing the right abstracation to enforce alignment.

I am going through all the patches now based on your feedback and changing the commit messages to clarify the intent.

PATCH v2 4/13 filemap: use mapping_min_order while allocating folios

In reply to Pankaj Raghav (Samsung)

From: Pankaj Raghav <[email protected]>

filemap_create_folio() and do_read_cache_folio() were always allocating folio of order 0. __filemap_get_folio was trying to allocate higher order folios when fgp_flags had higher order hint set but it will default to order 0 folio if higher order memory allocation fails.

As we bring the notion of mapping_min_order, make sure these functions allocate at least folio of mapping_min_order as we need to guarantee it in the page cache.

Add some additional VM_BUG_ON() in __filemap_add_folio to catch errors where we add folios that has order less than min_order.

Align the ra->start and ra->size to mapping_min_order in ondemand_readahead(), and align the index to mapping_min_order in force_page_cache_ra(). This will ensure that the folios allocated for readahead that are added to the page cache are aligned to mapping_min_order.

In reply to Pankaj Raghav (Samsung)

From: Pankaj Raghav <[email protected]>

As we don't have a way to split a folio to a any given lower folio order yet, avoid splitting the folio in split_huge_page_to_list() if it has a minimum folio order requirement.

PATCH v2 10/13 iomap: fix iomap_dio_zero() for fs bs > system page size

In reply to Pankaj Raghav (Samsung)

From: Pankaj Raghav <[email protected]>

iomap_dio_zero() will pad a fs block with zeroes if the direct IO size < fs block size. iomap_dio_zero() has an implicit assumption that fs block size < page_size. This is true for most filesystems at the moment.

If the block size > page size, this will send the contents of the page next to zero page(as len > PAGE_SIZE) to the underlying block device, causing FS corruption.

iomap is a generic infrastructure and it should not make any assumptions about the fs block size and the page size of the system.

PATCH v2 11/13 xfs: expose block size in stat

In reply to Pankaj Raghav (Samsung)

From: Pankaj Raghav <[email protected]>

For block size larger than page size, the unit of efficient IO is the block size, not the page size. Leaving stat() to report PAGE_SIZE as the block size causes test programs like fsx to issue illegal ranges for operations that require block size alignment (e.g. fallocate() insert range). Hence update the preferred IO size to reflect the block size in this case.

This change is based on a patch originally from Dave Chinner.[1]

PATCH v2 12/13 xfs: make the calculation generic in xfs_sb_validate_fsb_count()

In reply to Pankaj Raghav (Samsung)

From: Pankaj Raghav <[email protected]>

Instead of assuming that PAGE_SHIFT is always higher than the blocklog, make the calculation generic so that page cache count can be calculated correctly for LBS.

PATCH v2 13/13 xfs: enable block size larger than page size support

In reply to Pankaj Raghav (Samsung)

From: Pankaj Raghav <[email protected]>

Page cache now has the ability to have a minimum order when allocating a folio which is a prerequisite to add support for block size > page size.
