2008-07-23ext4: Don't allow lg prealloc list to be grow large.Aneesh Kumar K.V
Currently, the locality group prealloc list is freed only when there is a block allocation failure. This can result in large number of entries in the preallocation list making ext4_mb_use_preallocated() expensive. To fix this, we convert the locality group prealloc list to a hash list. The hash index is the order of number of blocks in the prealloc space with a max order of 9. When adding prealloc space to the list we make sure total entries for each order does not exceed 8. If it is more than 8 we discard few entries and make sure the we have only <= 5 entries. Signed-off-by: Aneesh Kumar K.V <aneesh.kumar@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>

2008-08-02ext4: lock block groups when initializingEric Sandeen
I noticed when filling a 1T filesystem with 4 threads using the fs_mark benchmark: fs_mark -d /mnt/test -D 256 -n 100000 -t 4 -s 20480 -F -S 0 that I occasionally got checksum mismatch errors: EXT4-fs error (device sdb): ext4_init_inode_bitmap: Checksum bad for group 6935 etc. I'd reliably get 4-5 of them during the run. It appears that the problem is likely a race to init the bg's when the uninit_bg feature is enabled. With the patch below, which adds sb_bgl_locking around initialization, I was able to complete several runs with no errors or warnings.

2008-07-14ext4: delayed allocation ENOSPC handlingMingming Cao
This patch does block reservation for delayed allocation, to avoid ENOSPC later at page flush time. Blocks(data and metadata) are reserved at da_write_begin() time, the freeblocks counter is updated by then, and the number of reserved blocks is store in per inode counter. At the writepage time, the unused reserved meta blocks are returned back. At unlink/truncate time, reserved blocks are properly released. Updated fix from Aneesh Kumar K.V <aneesh.kumar@linux.vnet.ibm.com> to fix the oldallocator block reservation accounting with delalloc, added lock to guard the counters and also fix the reservation for meta blocks.

2008-07-11ext4: New inode allocation for FLEX_BG meta-data groups.Jose R. Santos
This patch mostly controls the way inode are allocated in order to make ialloc aware of flex_bg block group grouping. It achieves this by bypassing the Orlov allocator when block group meta-data are packed toghether through mke2fs. Since the impact on the block allocator is minimal, this patch should have little or no effect on other block allocation algorithms. By controlling the inode allocation, it can basically control where the initial search for new block begins and thus indirectly manipulate the block allocator. This allocator favors data and meta-data locality so the disk will gradually be filled from block group zero upward. This helps improve performance by reducing seek time. Since the group of inode tables within one flex_bg are treated as one giant inode table, uninitialized block groups would not need to partially initialize as many inode table as with Orlov which would help fsck time as the filesystem usage goes up.

2008-05-13ext4: mballoc fix mb_normalize_request algorithm for 1KB block size filesystemsValerie Clement
In case of inode preallocation, the number of blocks to allocate depends on the file size and it is calculated in ext4_mb_normalize_request(). Each group in the filesystem is then checked to find one that can be used for allocation; this is done in ext4_mb_good_group(). When a file bigger than 4MB is created, the requested number of blocks to preallocate, calculated by ext4_mb_normalize_request is 4096. However for a filesystem with 1KB block size, the maximum size of the block buddies used by the multiblock allocator is 2048, so none of groups in the filesystem satisfies the search criteria in ext4_mb_good_group(). Scanning all the filesystem groups impacts performance. This was demonstrated by using a freshly created, 70GB, 1k block filesystem, with caches dropped write before the test via /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches, and with the filesystem mounted with nodelalloc and nodealloc,nomballoc. The time to write an 8 megabyte file using "dd if=/dev/zero of=/mnt/test/fo bs=8k count=1k conv=fsync" took 35.5091 seconds (236kB/s) with nodellaloc, and 0.233754 seconds (35.9 MB/s) with the nodelloc,nomballoc options. With a 1TB partition, it took several minutes to write 8MB! This patch modifies the algorithm in ext4_mb_normalize_group_request to calculate the number of blocks to allocate by taking into account the maximum size of free blocks chunks handled by the multiblock allocator. It has also been tested for filesystems with 2KB and 4KB block sizes to ensure that those cases don't regress.

2008-02-10ext4: allocate struct ext4_allocation_context from a kmem cacheEric Sandeen
struct ext4_allocation_context is rather large, and this bloats the stack of many functions which use it. Allocating it from a named slab cache will alleviate this. For example, with this change (on top of the noinline patch sent earlier): -ext4_mb_new_blocks 200 +ext4_mb_new_blocks 40 -ext4_mb_free_blocks 344 +ext4_mb_free_blocks 168 -ext4_mb_release_inode_pa 216 +ext4_mb_release_inode_pa 40 -ext4_mb_release_group_pa 192 +ext4_mb_release_group_pa 24 Most of these stack-allocated structs are actually used only for mballoc history; and in those cases often a smaller struct would do. So changing that may be another way around it, at least for those functions, if preferred. For now, in those cases where the ac is only for history, an allocation failure simply skips the history recording, and does not cause any other failures.
