[PATCH] f2fs: introduce nosmall_discard mount option

[Chao Yu]

As James Z reported in bugzilla:

https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=213877

[1.] One-line summary of the problem:
Mount multiple SMR block devices exceed certain number cause system non-response

[2.] Full description of the problem/report:
Created some F2FS on SMR devices (mkfs.f2fs -m), then mounted in sequence. Each device is the same Model: HGST HSH721414AL (Size 14TB).
Empirically, found that when the amount of SMR device * 1.5Gb > System RAM, the system ran out of memory and hung. No dmesg output. For example, 24 SMR Disk need 24*1.5GB = 36GB. A system with 32G RAM can only mount 21 devices, the 22nd device will be a reproducible cause of system hang.
The number of SMR devices with other FS mounted on this system does not interfere with the result above.

[3.] Keywords (i.e., modules, networking, kernel):
F2FS, SMR, Memory

[4.] Kernel information
[4.1.] Kernel version (uname -a):
Linux 5.13.4-200.fc34.x86_64 #1 SMP Tue Jul 20 20:27:29 UTC 2021 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

[4.2.] Kernel .config file:
Default Fedora 34 with f2fs-tools-1.14.0-2.fc34.x86_64

[5.] Most recent kernel version which did not have the bug:
None

[6.] Output of Oops.. message (if applicable) with symbolic information
     resolved (see Documentation/admin-guide/oops-tracing.rst)
None

[7.] A small shell script or example program which triggers the
     problem (if possible)
mount /dev/sdX /mnt/0X

[8.] Memory consumption

With 24 * 14T SMR Block device with F2FS
free -g
              total        used        free      shared  buff/cache   available
Mem:             46          36           0           0          10          10
Swap:             0           0           0

With 3 * 14T SMR Block device with F2FS
free -g
               total        used        free      shared  buff/cache   available
Mem:               7           5           0           0           1           1
Swap:              7           0           7

The root cause is, there are three bitmaps:
- cur_valid_map
- ckpt_valid_map
- discard_map
and each of them will cost ~500MB memory, {cur, ckpt}_valid_map are
necessary, but discard_map is optional, since this bitmap will only be
useful in mountpoint that small discard is enabled.

For a blkzoned device such as SMR or ZNS devices, f2fs will only issue
discard for a section(zone) when all blocks of that section are invalid,
so, for such device, we don't need small discard functionality at all.

This patch introduces a new mountoption "nosmall_discard" to support
disabling small discard functionality, note that the mountoption can not
be removed by remount() due to related metadata should always be
initialized during mount().

Yup, better,

About the naming, it look discard_gran is not clear here, since there is another
sysfs entry /sys/fs/f2fs/<devname>/discard_granularity has the same name, and
also semantics of newly added mount option is not only control the smallest discard
size, but also indicate discard start offset should be aligned to segment or section.
So how about using: "aligned_discard=[none|segment|section]" instead?

Thanks,

Maybe: "aligned_discard=[block|segment|section]"?

How about discard_unit? I feel that issuing discards in one of those unit
indicate the offset.

Looks fine to me, let me update the patch.

Why does this need an option?  It should be enable IFF and only IFF a
SMR drive is detected.

For blkzoned device, section unit based discard will be enabled by default.

For other type of devices, IMO, this is a tradeoff in between small-sized
discard support and memory overhead, so I proposed to add such mount option
to support selection from different benefit point.

Thanks,
