[PATCH 0/2] nilfs2: add support for FITRIM ioctl

[PATCH 0/2] nilfs2: add support for FITRIM ioctl

[Andreas Rohner]

Hi,

This patch adds support for the FITRIM ioctl, which allows user space 
tools like fstrim to issue TRIM/DISCARD requests to the underlying 
device. It takes a fstrim_range structure as a parameter and for every 
clean segment in the specified range the function blkdev_issue_discard 
is called.

Best regards,
Andreas Rohner

[PATCH 1/2] nilfs2: add nilfs_sufile_trim_fs to trim clean segs

[Andreas Rohner]

This patch adds the nilfs_sufile_trim_fs function, which takes a
fstrim_range structure and calls blkdev_issue_discard for every
clean segment in the specified range.

This check looks inappropriate.  If we set a lower limit for
range->minlin, I think it should be the file system size (block device
size).  For your information, the meaning of minlen is described as
follows in the man page of fstrim command:

  Minimum contiguous free range to discard, in bytes. (This
  value is internally rounded up to a multiple of the filesystem
  block size).  Free ranges smaller than this will be ignored.
  By increasing this value, the fstrim operation will complete
  more quickly for filesystems with badly fragmented freespace,
  although not all blocks will be discarded.  Default value is
  zero, discard every free block.

So, too small lower limit interferes purpose of the minlen argument.

> +	    segnum >= nilfs->ns_nsegments ||

This is bad too, because userland programs usually don't know the
segment structure of NILFS.  When we specify the partition size to
range->len, FITRIM can fail due to this check.

The upper limit of (range->start + range->len) should be
the block device size.

> +	    range->len < nilfs->ns_blocksize)

This looks OK.

> +		return -EINVAL;

I think these EINVAL checks should be move to ioctl interface side
because they should be performed in a perspective of general file
system and shouldn't depend on the internal structure of NILFS so
much.  If we need to adjust the range in this function, we should do
it silently.

> +	if (end > nilfs->ns_nsegments)
> +		end = nilfs->ns_nsegments;

Yes, this adjustment is what we should do here, but 'end' segnum was
rounded down to segment alighment before.  So, it should be:

  if (end >= nilfs->ns_nsegments)
	end = nilfs->ns_nsegments - 1;

> +	if (end == segnum)

and

  if (end < segnum)
	goto out;

Then, we can reuse nilfs_sufile_segment_usages_in_block() to calculate
'n'.

Skipping segments within segment usage blocks which are hole, are OK
since they are never written after the previous mkfs and mkfs.nilfs2
discards segments.

However, note that this also separates the extent defined with (start,
nblocks).  So, (start, nblocks) should be updated and
blkdev_issue_discard() should be called as needed.

Avoid using kmap()/kunmap() (if possible), these are expensive for
architectures nowadays which shares virtual address space among
processors.  I think we can replace them with kmap_atomic() and
kunmap_atomic() for this function by carefully releasing the highmem
before calling blocking operations such as blkdev_issue_discard() and
nilfs_sufile_get_segment_usage_block().

We should ignore the extent if the size is smaller than range->minlen.

I mistook for this.  segnum was the start segment number, so what
we should do was:

 - Return -EINVAL in ioctl side if range->start is larger than the
   block device size.
 - Escape this function without an error setting range->len to zero if
   segnum >= nilfs->ns_nsegments.

And, range->len should not be limited by the device size because it is
set to ULLONG_MAX by default.  We have to accept larger range->len
values.

ext4 also checks the range structure like that. Besides couldn't it be
possible, that the block device is bigger than the file system?

I just did it the same way as it is done in ext4.

Yes we can do this, if you want to use
nilfs_sufile_segment_usages_in_block(). I would just like to state, that
my code is also correct here.

As far as I can tell this is not necessary here. But I checked the
function again and I found a small bug further below.

Ok. Yes that should be possible.

As I mentioned in my second mail, I misunderstood the meaning of this
check at first.

As you pointed out, the block device size may be bigger than the file
system size after shrinking the file system.  So, sbp->s_dev_size
should be used for for this check.  But it is a bit complicated since
the current nilfs object doesn't have on-memory copy of it.

It is OK to use nilfs->ns_nsegments as its alternative.

Ok, just to be clear. According to your second mail it should look
something like this in nilfs_sufile_trim_fs():

	if (segnum >= nilfs->ns_nsegments)
		goto out;

And in nilfs_ioctl_trim_fs():

	if (range.len < nilfs->ns_blocksize ||
		range.start >= (nilfs->ns_nsegments *
			nilfs->ns_blocks_per_segment) <<
			nilfs->ns_blocksize_bits)
		return -EINVAL;	


Is that correct?

Actually I don't think that is correct. What if range->start = 0 and
range->end = 8MB. Then segnum = 0 and end = 1. Your code would discard
segment 0 and segment 1, whereas my version would discard only segment
0, which seems to be more reasonable.

The problem seems that 'end' is not calculated properly.
I think it should be

end = nilfs_get_segnum_of_block(
		nilfs,
		(range->start + range->len + <segment-size-in-bytes> - 1)
		  >> nilfs->ns_blocksize_bits) - 1;

 or can be simplified to

end = nilfs_get_segnum_of_block(
		nilfs,
		(range->start + range->len - 1) >> nilfs->ns_blocksize_bits);

 if range->len > 0 is guaranteed.


The calculation of segnum extends the range to be discarded since it
is rounded down to segment alignment, but that of the current
implementation for 'end' truncates the range.  Both should be
extended.

Then shouldn't both be truncated? The user expects that less bytes than
range->len are discarded but not more. Maybe I am wrong and it is
defined somewhere...

Uum, xfs looks to be truncating both.  This seems to be authentic
when we think the original meaning of the fitrim range.

I first thought truncating the range can generate gaps between
consecutive calls of FITRIM (if we use FITRIM like that).  But now I'm
tempted to take the xfs approach.  Let's take this semantics.

So, we now have to round up range->start to calculate (start) segnum.

Hmm good point I didn't think of that. Then by extending both sides the
overlapping segments would get discarded twice with consecutive calls,
which shouldn't be a problem.

Ok. I think in the end it doesn't really matter, because most users will
use the default values:

range->start = 0
range->minlen = 0
range->len = ULLONG_MAX

Or, we have the third option to avoid this issue.  It's simply
truncating both to sector boundary.  In this case, the gap problem
will not arise since userland programs usually separate the range
considering sector boundary or file system block size boundary.  I
think this is more preferable than truncating it to segment size.

How do you think of this ?

Yes I think that is a good idea. It shouldn't be hard to implement
either. I will try it and then send you a new version of the patch.

[PATCH 2/2] nilfs2: add FITRIM ioctl support for nilfs2

[Andreas Rohner]

This patch adds support for the FITRIM ioctl, which enables user space
tools to issue TRIM/DISCARD requests to the underlying device. Every
clean segment within the specified range will be discarded.

This initialization is unnecessary.

Other looks OK to me.

[PATCH 0/2] nilfs2: add support for FITRIM ioctl

[Andreas Rohner]

Hi,

This patch adds support for the FITRIM ioctl, which allows user space 
tools like fstrim to issue TRIM/DISCARD requests to the underlying 
device. It takes a fstrim_range structure as a parameter and for every 
clean segment in the specified range the function blkdev_issue_discard 
is called. The range is truncated to sector boundaries.

Best regards,
Andreas Rohner

---
v1->v2 (based on review by Ryusuke Konishi)
 * Remove upper limit of minlen
 * Add check for minlen
 * Round range to sector boundary instead of segment boundary
 * Fix minor bug
 * Use kmap_atomic instead of kmap
 * Move input checks to ioctl.c
 * Use nilfs_sufile_segment_usages_in_block()
