Currently io-uring only supports buffered writes in the slow path, by processing them in the io workers. With this patch series it is now possible to support buffered writes in the fast path. To be able to use the fast path the required pages must be in the page cache, the required locks in xfs can be granted immediately and no additional blocks need to be read form disk. Updating the inode can take time. An optimization has been implemented for the time update. Time updates will be processed in the slow path. While there is already a time update in process, other write requests for the same file, can skip the update of the modification time. Performance results: For fio the following results have been obtained with a queue depth of 1 and 4k block size (runtime 600 secs): sequential writes: without patch with patch libaio psync iops: 77k 209k 195K 233K bw: 314MB/s 854MB/s 790MB/s 953MB/s clat: 9600ns 120ns 540ns 3000ns For an io depth of 1, the new patch improves throughput by over three times (compared to the exiting behavior, where buffered writes are processed by an io-worker process) and also the latency is considerably reduced. To achieve the same or better performance with the exisiting code an io depth of 4 is required. Increasing the iodepth further does not lead to improvements. In addition the latency of buffered write operations is reduced considerably. Support for async buffered writes: To support async buffered writes the flag FMODE_BUF_WASYNC is introduced. In addition the check in generic_write_checks is modified to allow for async buffered writes that have this flag set. Changes to the iomap page create function to allow the caller to specify the gfp flags. Sets the IOMAP_NOWAIT flag in iomap if IOCB_NOWAIT has been set and specifies the requested gfp flags. Adds the iomap async buffered write support to the xfs iomap layer. Adds async buffered write support to the xfs iomap layer. Support for async buffered write support and inode time modification Splits the functions for checking if the file privileges need to be removed in two functions: check function and a function for the removal of file privileges. The same split is also done for the function to update the file modification time. Implement an optimization that while a file modification time is pending other requests for the same file don't need to wait for the file modification update. This avoids that a considerable number of buffered async write requests get punted. Take the ilock in nowait mode if async buffered writes are enabled and enable the async buffered writes optimization in io_uring. Support for write throttling of async buffered writes: Add a no_wait parameter to the exisiting balance_dirty_pages() function. The function will return -EAGAIN if the parameter is true and write throttling is required. Add a new function called balance_dirty_pages_ratelimited_async() that will be invoked from iomap_write_iter() if an async buffered write is requested. Enable async buffered write support in xfs This enables async buffered writes for xfs. Testing: This patch has been tested with xfstests and fio. Changes: V4: - Reformat new code in generic_write_checks_count(). - Removed patch that introduced new function iomap_page_create_gfp(). - Add gfp parameter to iomap_page_create() and change all callers All users will enforce the number of blocks check - Removed confusing statement in iomap async buffer support patch - Replace no_wait variable in __iomap_write_begin with check of IOMAP_NOWAIT for easier readability. - Moved else if clause in __iomap_write_begin into else clause for easier readability - Removed the balance_dirty_pages_ratelimited_async() function and reverted back to the earlier version that used the function balance_dirty_pages_ratelimited_flags() - Introduced the flag BDP_ASYNC. - Renamed variable in iomap_write_iter from i_mapping to mapping. - Directly call balance_dirty_pages_ratelimited_flags() in the function iomap_write_iter(). - Re-ordered the patches. V3: - Reformat new code in generic_write_checks_count() to line lengthof 80. - Remove if condition in __iomap_write_begin to maintain current behavior. - use GFP_NOWAIT flag in __iomap_write_begin - rename need_file_remove_privs() function to file_needs_remove_privs() - rename do_file_remove_privs to __file_remove_privs() - add kernel documentation to file_remove_privs() function - rework else if branch in file_remove_privs() function - add kernel documentation to file_modified() function - add kernel documentation to file_modified_async() function - rename err variable in file_update_time to ret - rename function need_file_update_time() to file_needs_update_time() - rename function do_file_update_time() to __file_update_time() - don't move check for FMODE_NOCMTIME in generic helper - reformat __file_update_time for easier reading - add kernel documentation to file_update_time() function - fix if in file_update_time from < to <= - move modification of inode flags from do_file_update_time to file_modified() When this function is called, the caller must hold the inode lock. - 3 new patches from Jan to add new no_wait flag to balance_dirty_pages(), remove patch 12 from previous series - Make balance_dirty_pages_ratelimited_flags() a static function - Add new balance_dirty_pages_ratelimited_async() function V2: - Remove atomic allocation - Use direct write in xfs_buffered_write_iomap_begin() - Use xfs_ilock_for_iomap() in xfs_buffered_write_iomap_begin() - Remove no_wait check at the end of xfs_buffered_write_iomap_begin() for the COW path. - Pass xfs_inode pointer to xfs_ilock_iocb and rename function to xfs_lock_xfs_inode - Replace existing uses of xfs_ilock_iocb with xfs_ilock_xfs_inode - Use xfs_ilock_xfs_inode in xfs_file_buffered_write() - Callers of xfs_ilock_for_iomap need to initialize lock mode. This is required so writes use an exclusive lock - Split of _balance_dirty_pages() from balance_dirty_pages() and return sleep time - Call _balance_dirty_pages() in balance_dirty_pages_ratelimited_flags() - Move call to balance_dirty_pages_ratelimited_flags() in iomap_write_iter() to the beginning of the loop Jan Kara (3): mm: Move starting of background writeback into the main balancing loop mm: Move updates of dirty_exceeded into one place mm: Prepare balance_dirty_pages() for async buffered writes Stefan Roesch (14): mm: Add balance_dirty_pages_ratelimited_flags() function iomap: Add gfp parameter to iomap_page_create() iomap: Add async buffered write support iomap: Use balance_dirty_pages_ratelimited_flags in iomap_write_iter fs: Add check for async buffered writes to generic_write_checks fs: Split off remove_needs_file_privs() __remove_file_privs() fs: Split off file_needs_update_time and __file_update_time fs: Add async write file modification handling. fs: Optimization for concurrent file time updates. io_uring: Add support for async buffered writes io_uring: Add tracepoint for short writes xfs: Add iomap async buffered write support xfs: Add async buffered write support xfs: Enable async buffered write support fs/inode.c | 178 ++++++++++++++++++++++++-------- fs/io_uring.c | 32 +++++- fs/iomap/buffered-io.c | 54 ++++++++-- fs/read_write.c | 4 +- fs/xfs/xfs_file.c | 36 +++---- fs/xfs/xfs_iomap.c | 14 ++- include/linux/fs.h | 7 ++ include/linux/writeback.h | 7 ++ include/trace/events/io_uring.h | 25 +++++ mm/page-writeback.c | 86 ++++++++------- 10 files changed, 318 insertions(+), 125 deletions(-) base-commit: 0cdd776ec92c0fec768c7079331804d3e52d4b27 -- 2.30.2
