[PATCH] btrfs: zoned: automatically reclaim zones

[PATCH] btrfs: zoned: automatically reclaim zones

[Johannes Thumshirn]

When a file gets deleted on a zoned file system, the space freed is no
returned back into the block group's free space, but is migrated to
zone_unusable.

As this zone_unusable space is behind the current write pointer it is not
possible to use it for new allocations. In the current implementation a
zone is reset once all of the block group's space is accounted as zone
unusable.

This behaviour can lead to premature ENOSPC errors on a busy file system.

Instead of only reclaiming the zone once it is completely unusable,
kick off a reclaim job once the amount of unusable bytes exceeds a user
configurable threshold between 51% and 100%.

Similar to reclaiming unused block groups, these dirty block groups are
added to a to_reclaim list and then on a transaction commit, the reclaim
process is triggered but after we deleted unused block groups, which will
free space for the relocation process.

I'll add it as topic branch to for-next but I haven't reviewed it and
first thing I see missing is lack of mentioning the sysfs tunable in the
changelog.

Thanks, will add the sysfs tunable (and fixed the type in line 1 of the 
commit msg as well).

Can we also kick off a discussion whether this is generally useful for btrfs
and not just a zoned FS? While we're not having a low hanging fruit like 
zone_unusable as indicator when to balance, I think we can work against 
fragmentation this way.

Could we just use delete_unused_bgs_mutex? I think you are using it
only because btrfs_relocate_chunk() asserts it's being held.

Just renaming delete_unused_bgs_mutex to a more generic name like
reclaim_bgs_lock, and just use that should work.

Having a comment on why we lock groups_sem would be good to have, just
like at btrfs_delete_unused_bgs().

Why is the list_is_singular() check there?

This was copied from the empty block group removal case -
btrfs_delete_unused_bgs(), but here I don't see why it's needed, since
we relocate rather than remove block groups.
The list_is_singular() from btrfs_delete_unused_bgs() is there to
prevent losing the raid profile for data when the last data block
group is removed (which implies not using space cache v1).

Other than that, overall it looks good.

Thanks.

Now with the cleaner kthread doing relocation, which can be a very
slow operation, we end up delaying iputs and other work delegated to
it for a very long time.
Not saying it needs to be fixed right away, perhaps it's not that bad,
I'm just not sure at the moment. We already do subvolume deletion in
this kthread, which is also a slow operation.

I think this is generally useful, but we should indicate to the user that it's 
happening via automatic cleanup and not because of somebody using btrfs balance 
start.

As for doing it on non-zoned, I'm still hesitant to do this simply because I 
haven't been able to finish working on the relocation stuff.  Once my current 
set of patches get merged I'll pick it back up, but there still remains some 
pretty unpleasant side-effects of balance.

Chris and I have been discussing your RAID5/6 plan, and we both really, really 
like the idea of the stripe root from the point of view that it makes relocation 
insanely straightforward and simple.  I think once we have that in place I'd 
feel a lot more comfortable running relocation automatically everywhere, as 
it'll be a much faster and less error prone operation.  Thanks,

Josef

Do I understand you correctly, that btrfs_delete_unused_bgs and btrfs_reclaim_bgs
should use the same mutex? I was thinking about that but then didn't want to
have one mutex protecting two lists.

Ah OK, yes this was a copy.

Correct, that's what I meant.

Since btrfs_delete_unused_bgs() and btrfs_reclaim_bgs() can never run
in parallel, and since they are already locking
delete_unused_bgs_mutex,
I don't see a reason not to do it.

The other cases that take the mutex, adding blocks groups to one of
the lists, are fast and are relatively rare specially for empty block
groups.
