Prefetching is done in 8 * flex_bg groups, so it should be 8 read-ahead reads for a single allocating thread. At the end of allocation the thread waits for read-ahead completion and initializes buddy information so that read-aheads are not lost in case of memory pressure. At cr=0 the number of prefetching IOs is limited per allocation context to prevent a situation when mballoc loads thousands of bitmaps looking for a perfect group and ignoring groups with good chunks. Together with the patch "ext4: limit scanning of uninitialized groups" the mount time (which includes few tiny allocations) of a 1PB filesystem is reduced significantly: 0% full 50%-full unpatched patched mount time 33s 9279s 563s [ Restructured by tytso; removed the state flags in the allocation context, so it can be used to lazily prefetch the allocation bitmaps immediately after the file system is mounted. Skip prefetching block groups which are uninitialized. Finally pass in the REQ_RAHEAD flag to the block layer while prefetching. ] Signed-off-by: Alex Zhuravlev Reviewed-by: Andreas Dilger Signed-off-by: Theodore Ts'o --- fs/ext4/balloc.c | 14 +++-- fs/ext4/ext4.h | 8 ++- fs/ext4/mballoc.c | 133 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++- fs/ext4/sysfs.c | 4 ++ 4 files changed, 153 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) diff --git a/fs/ext4/balloc.c b/fs/ext4/balloc.c index 1ba46d87cdf1..1e2b1b4093aa 100644 --- a/fs/ext4/balloc.c +++ b/fs/ext4/balloc.c @@ -413,7 +413,8 @@ static int ext4_validate_block_bitmap(struct super_block *sb, * Return buffer_head on success or an ERR_PTR in case of failure. */ struct buffer_head * -ext4_read_block_bitmap_nowait(struct super_block *sb, ext4_group_t block_group) +ext4_read_block_bitmap_nowait(struct super_block *sb, ext4_group_t block_group, + bool ignore_locked) { struct ext4_group_desc *desc; struct ext4_sb_info *sbi = EXT4_SB(sb); @@ -441,6 +442,12 @@ ext4_read_block_bitmap_nowait(struct super_block *sb, ext4_group_t block_group) return ERR_PTR(-ENOMEM); } + if (ignore_locked && buffer_locked(bh)) { + /* buffer under IO already, return if called for prefetching */ + put_bh(bh); + return NULL; + } + if (bitmap_uptodate(bh)) goto verify; @@ -490,7 +497,8 @@ ext4_read_block_bitmap_nowait(struct super_block *sb, ext4_group_t block_group) trace_ext4_read_block_bitmap_load(sb, block_group); bh->b_end_io = ext4_end_bitmap_read; get_bh(bh); - submit_bh(REQ_OP_READ, REQ_META | REQ_PRIO, bh); + submit_bh(REQ_OP_READ, REQ_META | REQ_PRIO | + (ignore_locked ?
