I had a request from someone who cared about mkfs speed(!)
over a slower network block device to look into using faster
zeroing methods, particularly for the log, during mkfs.xfs.

e2fsprogs already does this, thanks to some guy named Darrick:

/*
 * If we know about ZERO_RANGE, try that before we try PUNCH_HOLE because
 * ZERO_RANGE doesn't unmap preallocated blocks.  We prefer fallocate because
 * it always invalidates page cache, and libext2fs requires that reads after
 * ZERO_RANGE return zeroes.
 */
static int __unix_zeroout(int fd, off_t offset, off_t len)
{
        int ret = -1;

#if defined(HAVE_FALLOCATE) && defined(FALLOC_FL_ZERO_RANGE)
        ret = fallocate(fd, FALLOC_FL_ZERO_RANGE, offset, len);
        if (ret == 0)
                return 0;
#endif
#if defined(HAVE_FALLOCATE) && defined(FALLOC_FL_PUNCH_HOLE) && defined(FALLOC_FL_KEEP_SIZE)
        ret = fallocate(fd, FALLOC_FL_PUNCH_HOLE | FALLOC_FL_KEEP_SIZE,
                        offset,  len);
        if (ret == 0)
                return 0;
#endif
        errno = EOPNOTSUPP;
        return ret;
}

and nobody has exploded so far, AFAIK.  :)  So, floating this idea
for xfsprogs.  I'm a little scared of the second #ifdef block above, but
if that's really ok/consistent/safe we could add it too.

The patch moves some defines around too, I could split that up and resend
if this isn't laughed out of the room.

Thanks,
-Eric

libxfs: use FALLOC_FL_ZERO_RANGE in libxfs_device_zero

I had a request from someone who cared about mkfs speed(!)
over a slower network block device to look into using faster
zeroing methods, particularly for the log, during mkfs.

Using FALLOC_FL_ZERO_RANGE is faster in this case than writing
a bunch of zeros across a wire.

If FALLOC_FL_PUNCH_HOLE is defined, then FALLOC_FL_KEEP_SIZE is
guaranteed to be defined, so that condition check is somewhat
redundant. See commit 79124f18b335 ("fs: add hole punching to
fallocate")....

These were added to allow xfs_io to test these operations before
there was userspace support for them. I do not think we should
propagate them outside of xfs_io - if they are not supported by the
distro at build time, we shouldn't attempt to use them in mkfs.

i.e. xfs_io is test-enablement code for developers, mkfs.xfs is
production code for users, so different rules kinda exist for
them...

HAVE_FALLOCATE comes from an autoconf test. I suspect that this
needs to be made more finegrained, testing for fallocate() features,
not just just whether the syscall exists. And the above should
probably be in include/builddefs.in so that it's available to all
of xfsprogs, not just libxfs code...

Urk. That should be in include/linux.h, right?

I kinda dislike the "return if success" hidden inside the ifdef -
it's not a code pattern I'd expect to see. This is what I'd tend
to expect in include/linux.h:

#if defined(HAVE_FALLOCATE_ZERO_RANGE)
static inline int
platform_zero_range(
	int		fd,
	xfs_off_t	start_offset,
	xfs_off_t	end_offset)
{
	int		ret;

	ret = fallocate(fd, FALLOC_FL_ZERO_RANGE, start_offset, len_bytes);
	if (!ret)
		return 0;
	return -errno;
}
#else
#define platform_zero_range(fd, s, o)	(true)
#endif

and then the code in libxfs_device_zero() does:

	error = platform_zero_range(fd, start_offset, len_bytes);
	if (!error)
		return 0;

without adding nasty #defines...

Cheers,

Dave.

Style aside, is that 2nd zeroing method something we want to try?

Fair enough.  people /could/ use newer xfsprogs on older kernels, but...
those defines are getting pretty old by now in any case.

It's probably not terrible to just fail the build on a system that doesn't
have falloc.h, by now?

But that's testing the kernel on the build host, right?  What's the
point of that?  Or am I misunderstanding?

Yeah that's much better.  Tho I hate adding more platform_* stuff when really
we're down to only one platform but maybe that's a project for another day.

Thanks for the review,

Oh, I misunderstood what you were asking.  I don't think we want to
implement that.

e.g. If it's a pre-allocated image file or block device on
sparse-capable storage being mkfs'd, then the user really doesn't
want it punched out, do they?

And it's for the journal: any ENOSPC error from the block device in
the journal is immediately fatal to the filesystem. Hence I think
we should not punch out the journal blocks that already are allocated
in the storage.

And, really, the space may have already been punched out via
attempting to trim the device (i.e. "-K" mkfs option wasn't set), in
which case punching here is redundant.

Also, libxfs_device_zero() is called by xfs_repair: do we want
xfs_repair to be punching out blocks for the realtime bitmap and
summary storage? I don't think we want that to happen, either.

Fast zeroing, yes. Punching out allocated storage, no.

That might be going a bit far. fallocate() in most cases is not
critical to the correct functioning of the production tools, so if
it's not present it shouldn't break anything.

Who builds their distro binaries on a userspace that doesn't contain
the headers and libaries the distro is going to ship with?

That's the whole point of "build-root" infrastructure, right? i.e.
build against what you are going to ship, not what is installed on
the build machine....

There's more than one linux "platform" we have to support, and this
abstraction makes it easy to include new functionality in a clean
and autoconf detection friendly way... :)

I had a request from someone who cared about mkfs speed(!)
over a slower network block device to look into using faster
zeroing methods, particularly for the log, during mkfs.

Using FALLOC_FL_ZERO_RANGE is faster in this case than writing
a bunch of zeros across a wire.

len_bytes should be size_t, right?

This is a bit ... convoluted, and doesn't end_offset = len_bytes?
i.e.

start_offset = start << BBSHIFT
len_bytes = len << BBSHIFT
end_offset = (start + len) << BBSHIFT - start_offset
	   = (start << BBSHIFT) + (len << BBSHIFT) - start_offset
	   = start_offset + len_bytes - start_offset
	   = len_bytes

Dave.

oh, yikes.  Good catch.  Before, it was used as

        end_offset = LIBXFS_BBTOOFF64(start + len) - start_offset;
        for (offset = 0; offset < end_offset; ) {
                bytes = min((ssize_t)(end_offset - offset), zsize);
                if ((bytes = write(fd, z, bytes)) < 0) {

"end_offset" was not the ending offset of the whole range... that's what I get
for inferring too much from a variable name w/o looking at what it actually /does/

I'll sort that out, thanks.

V3: make len_bytes a size_t; leave "end_offset" where it is for the loop
use.  It's a bit odd but ... just don't mess with it for now, one patch
one change.

Seems fine to me, though it's unfortunate to cap this at u32.

Hm well I suppose could/should expand it.  This starts out via libxfs_device_zero
as a uint "len" in sectors so it could/should be a bit bigger.

Weird not sure how I picked that, though they are equivalent today.

*sigh* V4 I guess.

I had a request from someone who cared about mkfs speed over
a slower network block device to look into using faster zeroing
methods, particularly for the log, during mkfs.

Using FALLOC_FL_ZERO_RANGE is faster in this case than writing
a bunch of zeros across a wire.

V2: Clean up all the nasty stuff I'd flung out there as a wild first
cut, thanks Dave.

V3: make len_bytes a size_t; leave "end_offset" where it is for the loop
use.  It's a bit odd but ... just don't mess with it for now, one patch
one change.

V4: Use EOPNOTSUPP not EOPNOTSUP (same on linux anyway but meh)
I ignored(tm) darrick's suggestion to make libxfs_device_zero accept
a longer length, for now - no callers need anything bigger at this time.

...but if the caller passes in (say) 2^23 daddrs on a 32-bit system,
this conversion will try to stuff 2^32 into a size_t (which is 32-bit),
causing an integer overflow.  I grok that no callers currently try this,
but this seems like leaving a logic bomb that could go off on what are
becoming difficult-to-test architectures.

Granted the added overflow checking and whatnot required to convert that
last parameter of libxfs_device_zero to unsigned long long could very
well justify a separate patch for fixing the 64-bitness of the whole
api.
