ext4: fix extent_status fragmentation for plain files
Extents are cached in read_extent_tree_block(); as a result, extents are not cached for inodes with depth == 0 when we try to find the extent using ext4_find_extent(). The result of the lookup is cached in ext4_map_blocks() but is only a subset of the extent on disk. As a result, the contents of extents status cache can get very badly fragmented for certain workloads, such as a random 4k read workload. File size of /mnt/test is 33554432 (8192 blocks of 4096 bytes) ext: logical_offset: physical_offset: length: expected: flags: 0: 0.. 8191: 40960.. 49151: 8192: last,eof $ perf record -e 'ext4:ext4_es_*' /root/bin/fio --name=t --direct=0 --rw=randread --bs=4k --filesize=32M --size=32M --filename=/mnt/test $ perf script | grep ext4_es_insert_extent | head -n 10 fio 131 [000] 13.975421: ext4:ext4_es_insert_extent: dev 253,0 ino 12 es [494/1) mapped 41454 status W fio 131 [000] 13.975939: ext4:ext4_es_insert_extent: dev 253,0 ino 12 es [6064/1) mapped 47024 status W fio 131 [000] 13.976467: ext4:ext4_es_insert_extent: dev 253,0 ino 12 es [6907/1) mapped 47867 status W fio 131 [000] 13.976937: ext4:ext4_es_insert_extent: dev 253,0 ino 12 es [3850/1) mapped 44810 status W fio 131 [000] 13.977440: ext4:ext4_es_insert_extent: dev 253,0 ino 12 es [3292/1) mapped 44252 status W fio 131 [000] 13.977931: ext4:ext4_es_insert_extent: dev 253,0 ino 12 es [6882/1) mapped 47842 status W fio 131 [000] 13.978376: ext4:ext4_es_insert_extent: dev 253,0 ino 12 es [3117/1) mapped 44077 status W fio 131 [000] 13.978957: ext4:ext4_es_insert_extent: dev 253,0 ino 12 es [2896/1) mapped 43856 status W fio 131 [000] 13.979474: ext4:ext4_es_insert_extent: dev 253,0 ino 12 es [7479/1) mapped 48439 status W Fix this by caching the extents for inodes with depth == 0 in ext4_find_extent(). [ Renamed ext4_es_cache_extents() to ext4_cache_extents() since this newly added function is not in extents_cache.c, and to avoid potential visual confusion with ext4_es_cache_extent(). -TYT ] Signed-off-by: Dmitry Monakhov <dmonakhov@gmail.com> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20191106122502.19986-1-dmonakhov@gmail.com Signed-off-by: Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
