This is the latest round of patches, it includes all the new reviewed-by's, the
fixed up 'bdi: add a new writeback list for sync' patch that has Jan's
suggestions included and Dave's patch folded in to address the problem he saw in
testing. I've rebased these on Linus's master from this evening. Al would you
please consider pulling
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/josef/btrfs-next.git superblock-scaling
Thanks,
Josef

Doing writeback on lots of little files causes terrible IOPS storms
because of the per-mapping writeback plugging we do. This
essentially causes imeediate dispatch of IO for each mapping,
regardless of the context in which writeback is occurring.
IOWs, running a concurrent write-lots-of-small 4k files using fsmark
on XFS results in a huge number of IOPS being issued for data
writes. Metadata writes are sorted and plugged at a high level by
XFS, so aggregate nicely into large IOs. However, data writeback IOs
are dispatched in individual 4k IOs, even when the blocks of two
consecutively written files are adjacent.
Test VM: 8p, 8GB RAM, 4xSSD in RAID0, 100TB sparse XFS filesystem,
metadata CRCs enabled.
Kernel: 3.10-rc5 + xfsdev + my 3.11 xfs queue (~70 patches)
Test:
$ ./fs_mark -D 10000 -S0 -n 10000 -s 4096 -L 120 -d
/mnt/scratch/0 -d /mnt/scratch/1 -d /mnt/scratch/2 -d
/mnt/scratch/3 -d /mnt/scratch/4 -d /mnt/scratch/5 -d
/mnt/scratch/6 -d /mnt/scratch/7
Result:
wall sys create rate Physical write IO
time CPU (avg files/s) IOPS Bandwidth
----- ----- ------------ ------ ---------
unpatched 6m56s 15m47s 24,000+/-500 26,000 130MB/s
patched 5m06s 13m28s 32,800+/-600 1,500 180MB/s
improvement -26.44% -14.68% +36.67% -94.23% +38.46%
If I use zero length files, this workload at about 500 IOPS, so
plugging drops the data IOs from roughly 25,500/s to 1000/s.
3 lines of code, 35% better throughput for 15% less CPU.
The benefits of plugging at this layer are likely to be higher for
spinning media as the IO patterns for this workload are going make a
much bigger difference on high IO latency devices.....

Some filesystems don't use the VFS inode hash and fake the fact they
are hashed so that all the writeback code works correctly. However,
this means the evict() path still tries to remove the inode from the
hash, meaning that the inode_hash_lock() needs to be taken
unnecessarily. Hence under certain workloads the inode_hash_lock can
be contended even if the inode is never actually hashed.
To avoid this add hlist_fake to test if the inode isn't actually
hashed to avoid taking the hash lock on inodes that have never been
hashed. Based on Dave Chinner's
inode: add IOP_NOTHASHED to avoid inode hash lock in evict
basd on Al's suggestions. Thanks,

The process of reducing contention on per-superblock inode lists
starts with moving the locking to match the per-superblock inode
list. This takes the global lock out of the picture and reduces the
contention problems to within a single filesystem. This doesn't get
rid of contention as the locks still have global CPU scope, but it
does isolate operations on different superblocks form each other.

From: Dave Chinner <dchinner@redhat.com>
When competing sync(2) calls walk the same filesystem, they need to
walk the list of inodes on the superblock to find all the inodes
that we need to wait for IO completion on. However, when multiple
wait_sb_inodes() calls do this at the same time, they contend on the
the inode_sb_list_lock and the contention causes system wide
slowdowns. In effect, concurrent sync(2) calls can take longer and
burn more CPU than if they were serialised.
Stop the worst of the contention by adding a per-sb mutex to wrap
around wait_sb_inodes() so that we only execute one sync(2) IO
completion walk per superblock superblock at a time and hence avoid
contention being triggered by concurrent sync(2) calls.

From: Dave Chinner <dchinner@redhat.com>
There's a small consistency problem between the inode and writeback
naming. Writeback calls the "for IO" inode queues b_io and
b_more_io, but the inode calls these the "writeback list" or
i_wb_list. This makes it hard to an new "under writeback" list to
the inode, or call it an "under IO" list on the bdi because either
way we'll have writeback on IO and IO on writeback and it'll just be
confusing. I'm getting confused just writing this!
So, rename the inode "for IO" list variable to i_io_list so we can
add a new "writeback list" in a subsequent patch.

From: Dave Chinner <dchinner@redhat.com>
wait_sb_inodes() current does a walk of all inodes in the filesystem
to find dirty one to wait on during sync. This is highly
inefficient and wastes a lot of CPU when there are lots of clean
cached inodes that we don't need to wait on.
To avoid this "all inode" walk, we need to track inodes that are
currently under writeback that we need to wait for. We do this by
adding inodes to a writeback list on the bdi when the mapping is
first tagged as having pages under writeback. wait_sb_inodes() can
then walk this list of "inodes under IO" and wait specifically just
for the inodes that the current sync(2) needs to wait for.
To avoid needing all the realted locking to be safe against
interrupts, Jan Kara suggested that we be lazy about removal from
the writeback list. That is, we don't remove inodes from the
writeback list on IO completion, but do it directly during a
wait_sb_inodes() walk.
This means that the a rare sync(2) call will have some work to do
skipping clean inodes However, in the current problem case of
concurrent sync workloads, concurrent wait_sb_inodes() calls only
walk the very recently dispatched inodes and hence should have very
little work to do.
This also means that we have to remove the inodes from the writeback
list during eviction. Do this in inode_wait_for_writeback() once
all writeback on the inode is complete.

Inodes are removed lazily from the bdi writeback list, so in the
absence of sync(2) work inodes will build up on the bdi writback
list even though they are no longer under IO. Use the periodic
kupdate work check to remove inodes no longer under IO from the
writeback list.

On a box with a lot of ram (148gb) I can make the box softlockup after running
an fs_mark job that creates hundreds of millions of empty files. This is
because we never generate enough memory pressure to keep the number of inodes on
our unused list low, so when we go to unmount we have to evict ~100 million
inodes. This makes one processor a very unhappy person, so add a cond_resched()
in dispose_list() and if we need a resched when processing the s_inodes list do
that and run dispose_list() on what we've currently culled. Thanks,

Hi all,
My understanding is this (and the subsequent) patch were never merged
due to conflicts with the cgroup aware writeback stuff that had been
merged. I think the fundamental approach of this patch still solves the
original problem, the writeback inodes are just always tracked on the
root bdi_writeback rather than the per-cgroup bdi_writeback the inode
was associated with before writeback.
Any thoughts on that are appreciated. Otherwise, I'm trying to rebase
this and I've hit a lockdep splat [1] that suggests the locking for the
writeback list needs to be tweaked one way or another. Note that lockdep
fires with this original version as well, so I don't think this is a new
issue.
I _think_ this means that list_lock either needs to be taken outside of
mapping->tree_lock or we need to create a new irq safe spinlock specific
to the b_writeback list. The former looks like it requires some ugliness
in __test_set_page_writeback() to acquire list_lock first, but only when
list_empty(&inode->i_wb_list) so we don't grab it for every page. The
latter obviously means a new irq-disabling lock (which is already done
in parts of wait_sb_inode(), fwiw). The latter might also facilitate
further cleanups like pulling b_writeback out of bdi_writeback and up
into backing_dev_info since we really only need one instance of the
list, but I'm not sure if that's preferable..
Thoughts?

I was thinking about this and realized that the original patch actually has
a flaw. In case there are several partitions on a bdi and sync_fs() would
be called for two filesystems on the same bdi, then one of those sync_fs()
calls would splice the whole b_writeback list into its private list in
wait_sb_inodes() and the other sync_fs() call would return too early because
it would find b_writeback list empty.
Given that we need the list of inodes under writeback only for sync(2) /
sync_fs(2) purposes it would work the best to track those inodes in the
per-superblock list. We would miss block device inode this way but that one
is waited-on in a special way anyway (in __sync_blockdev() /
fdatawait_one_bdev()). Also that way any strange interaction and confusion
with cgroup writeback is avoided.

Yeah, it looks that the issue has been there forever. When we have per-sb
list then we need a different lock to protect the list anyway. So having a
dedicated lock for the list which would be irqsave would be the easiest
solution. But note that in that case the locking of i_lock in
wait_inodes_sb() has to be dealt with as well since making i_lock irqsafe
is not an option.
I think we could avoid having the dedicated lock irqsafe if we moved
bdi_mark_inode_writeback() call from under mapping->tree_lock (to happen
later in __test_set_page_writeback()). However that needs some careful
thinking about how the interactions of __test_set_page_writeback() with the
list handling in wait_inodes_sb() work out.

Hmm, yeah that does sound like a problem...

Agree, that sounds like a more clean approach on first thought. We kill
the more wasteful per-bdi_writeback list since it would only be used by
the root structure embedded in backing_dev_info and isolates the code to
dealing with sync. I'll have a closer look at this.

Ok...

That thought crossed my mind briefly as well. It looked like it could be
racy once we drop mapping->tree_lock, but actually I wonder if the lazy
list removal technique helps us get away with that (e.g., it's expected
that the writeback list will be populated with non-writeback inodes for
some time as it is).
Anyways, I can take a closer look at this as well. It could be a couple
weeks or so before I get back to this, but I'll try to incorporate the
above once I do. Thanks for the feedback! :)
