Subject: [PATCH 00/32] Network fs helper library & fscache kiocb API [ver #2]
Date: Mon, 25 Jan 2021 21:30:50 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <161161025063.2537118.2009249444682241405.stgit@warthog.procyon.org.uk> (raw)
Here's a set of patches to do two things:
(1) Add a helper library to handle the new VM readahead interface. This
is intended to be used unconditionally by the filesystem (whether or
not caching is enabled) and provides a common framework for doing
caching, transparent huge pages and, in the future, possibly fscrypt
and read bandwidth maximisation. It also allows the netfs and the
cache to align, expand and slice up a read request from the VM in
various ways; the netfs need only provide a function to read a stretch
of data to the pagecache and the helper takes care of the rest.
(2) Add an alternative fscache/cachfiles I/O API that uses the kiocb
facility to do async DIO to transfer data to/from the netfs's pages,
rather than using readpage with wait queue snooping on one side and
vfs_write() on the other. It also uses less memory, since it doesn't
do buffered I/O on the backing file.
Note that this uses SEEK_HOLE/SEEK_DATA to locate the data available
to be read from the cache. Whilst this is an improvement from the
bmap interface, it still has a problem with regard to a modern
extent-based filesystem inserting or removing bridging blocks of
zeros. Fixing that requires a much greater overhaul.
This is a step towards overhauling the fscache API. The change is opt-in
on the part of the network filesystem. A netfs should not try to mix the
old and the new API because of conflicting ways of handling pages and the
PG_fscache page flag and because it would be mixing DIO with buffered I/O.
Further, the helper library can't be used with the old API.
This does not change any of the fscache cookie handling APIs or the way
invalidation is done.
In the near term, I intend to deprecate and remove the old I/O API
(fscache_allocate_page{,s}(), fscache_read_or_alloc_page{,s}(),
fscache_write_page() and fscache_uncache_page()) and eventually replace
most of fscache/cachefiles with something simpler and easier to follow.
The patchset contains five parts:
(1) Some helper patches, including provision of an ITER_XARRAY iov
iterator and a function to do readahead expansion.
(2) Patches to add the netfs helper library.
(3) A patch to add the fscache/cachefiles kiocb API
(4) Patches to add support in AFS for this.
(5) Patches from David Wysochanski to add support in NFS for this.
Jeff Layton also has patches for Ceph for this, though they're not included
on this branch.
With this, AFS without a cache passes all expected xfstests; with a cache,
there's an extra failure, but that's also there before these patches.
Fixing that probably requires a greater overhaul. Ceph and NFS also pass
the expected tests.
These patches can be found also on:
