[PATCH RFC 0/5] Add threading support to e2fsprogs

[PATCH RFC 0/5] Add threading support to e2fsprogs

[Theodore Ts'o]

This patch set adds the infrastructure to support threading to
libext2fs.  It makes the unix_io I/O Manager thread-aware.  Wang's
parallel bitmap code has been adapted to use the new threading
infrastructure.

The code has been tested with TSAN and ASAN built into gcc 10.2:

    configure 'CFLAGS=-g -fsanitize=thread' 'LDFLAGS=-fsanitize=thread'
    make clean ; make -j16 ; make -j16 check
    configure 'CFLAGS=-g -fsanitize=address' 'LDFLAGS=-fsanitize=address'
    make clean ; make -j16 ; make -j16 check

As I needed to excerpt out some of the changes to generated patches in
"Add configure and build support for the pthreads", the full patch
series can be found in git:

[PATCH RFC 1/5] Add configure and build support for the pthreads library

[Theodore Ts'o]

Support for pthreads can be forcibly disabled by passing
"--without-pthread" to the configure script.

The actual changes in this commit are in configure.ac and MCONFIG.in;
the other files were generated as a result of running aclocal,
autoconf, and autoheader on a Debian testing system.

Note: the autoconf-archive package must now be installed before
rerunning aclocal, to supply the AX_PTHREAD macro.

[PATCH RFC 2/5] libext2fs: add threading support to the I/O manager abstraction

[Theodore Ts'o]

Add initial implementation support for the unix_io manager.
Applications which want to use threading should pass in
IO_FLAG_THREADS when opening the channel.  Channels which support
threading (which as of this commit is unix_io and test_io if the
backing io_manager supports threading) will set the
CHANNEL_FLAGS_THREADS bit in io->flags.  Library code or applications
can test if threading is enabled by checking this flag.

Applications using libext2fs can pass in EXT2_FLAG_THREADS to
ext2fs_open() or ext2fs_open2() to request threading support.

Do you know how often we get into the "bounce_read" IO path?  It seems like
locking around the read would kill parallelism, but this code path also
looks like a fallback, but maybe 100% used for blocksize != PAGE_SIZE?

At one point you talked about using dlopen() or similar to link in the
pthread library only if it is actually needed?  Or is the linkage of
the pthread library avoided by these functions not being called unless
IO_FLAG_THREADS is set?

It should be extremely rare.  It only happens when Direct I/O is
requested (which is rare to begin with, although it looks like there
are people who are playing with some out of tree patchets to force
e2image to use Direct I/O?), and the offset or the size of I/O isn't
aligned with the system's direct I/O alignment requirements.  (See
ext2fs_get_dio_alignment() in lib/ext2fs/getsectsize.c)

So what I'm doing is just not trying to call those functions unless
threading is required (e.g., IO_FLAG_THREADS is set, which would imply
that EXT2_FLAG_THREADS was passed to ext2fs_open()).  This won't help
if the application is using static linking, but if the application is
compiled statically, dlopen(3) is not guaranteed to work in any case.

So it's not perfect, and there may be some ancient AIX machine for
which this might be problematic.  But for all modern OS's that are
linking to want to compile e2fsprogs, it should work.  And I don't
have access to an AIX machine these days, and I don't work for IBM
anymore, so....  ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[PATCH RFC 4/5] ext2fs: parallel bitmap loading

[Theodore Ts'o]

From: Wang Shilong <wshilong@ddn.com>

In our benchmarking for PiB size filesystem, pass5 takes
10446s to finish and 99.5% of time takes on reading bitmaps.

It makes sense to reading bitmaps using multiple threads,
a quickly benchmark show 10446s to 626s with 64 threads.

[ This has all of many bug fixes for rw_bitmaps.c from the original
  luster patch set collapsed into a single commit.   In addition it has
  the new ext2fs_rw_bitmaps() api proposed by Ted. ]

The patch looks generally good.  Unfortunately, I don't have a large
system available to verify the performance at this time, but it looks
close enough to the original code that I don't think there is much
risk of breakage.

One potential cross-platform build issue below, and some cosmetic
suggestions, but you could add:

(style) It wouldn't be terrible to have wrappers around these functions
instead of inline #ifdef in the few places they are used, like:

#ifdef HAVE_PTHREAD
static void unix_pthread_mutex_lock(pthread_mutex_t *mutex)
{
	if (mutex)
		pthread_mutex_lock(mutex);
}
static void unix_pthread_mutex_unlock(pthread_mutex_t *mutex)
{
	if (mutex)
		pthread_mutex_unlock(mutex);
}
#else
#define unix_pthread_mutex_lock(mutex) do {} while (0)
#define unix_pthread_mutex_unlock(mutex) do {} while (0)
#endif

(minor) These two pthread calls need #ifdef HAVE_PTHREAD or use wrappers.

(style) this #endif wouldn't hurt to have a /* HAVE_SYSCONF */ comment,
but currently isn't too far from the #ifdef though it looks like it may
become further away and harder to track in the future.

(style) this would definitely benefit from a /* HAVE_PTHREAD */ comment,
since it is so far from the original #ifdef.

We'd also need to have a typedef for mutex_t which is either
pthreads_mutex_t if pthreads are available, or an int (or some other
placeholder type) if it isn't.

I had tried to make sure that rw_bitmaps.c will correctly compile with
HAVE_PTHREAD and HAVE_PTHREAD_H are undefined.  It looks like I didn't
quite get it completely working since there's at leasts one function
signature where we have an unprotected use of pthread_mutex_t, so
that's something we should check before finalizing the patch --- in
addition to the unprotected use of pthread_mutex_{lock,unlock} that
you pointed out.

My understanding is that as soon as the EXT2_FLAG_THREADS is added,
and if the backend supports CHANNEL_FLAGS_THREADS, then the pthread
code in the previous patch will "autothread" based on the number of
CPUs in the system.

That will be nice for debugfs, which would otherwise take ages to
start on a large filesystem if "-c" was not used (which also
precludes any kind of modifications).

Yes, that's an issue that our SRE's have run across as well while
