[PATCH 1/5] Btrfs: wake up the tasks that wait for the io earlier

The tasks that wait for the IO_DONE flag just care about the io of the dirty
pages, so it is better to wake up them immediately after all the pages are
written, not the whole process of the io completes.

[PATCH 2/5] Btrfs: just do diry page flush for the inode with compression before direct IO

As the comment in the btrfs_direct_IO says, only the compressed pages need be
flush again to make sure they are on the disk, but the common pages
needn''t,
so we add a if statement to check if the inode has compressed pages or not,
if no, skip the flush.

And in order to prevent the write ranges from intersecting, we need wait for
the running ordered extents. But the current code waits for them twice, one
is done before the direct IO starts (in btrfs_wait_ordered_range()), the other
is before we get the blocks, it is unnecessary. because we can do the direct
IO without holding i_mutex, it means that the intersected ordered extents may
happen during the direct IO, the first wait can not avoid this problem. So we
use filemap_fdatawrite_range() instead of btrfs_wait_ordered_range() to remove
the first wait.

[PATCH 4/5] Btrfs: remove unnecessary lock in may_commit_transaction()

The reason is:
- The per-cpu counter has its own lock to protect itself.
- Here we need get a exact value.

[PATCH 5/5] Btrfs: reclaim the reserved metadata space at background

Before applying this patch, the task had to reclaim the metadata space
by itself if the metadata space was not enough. And When the task started
the space reclamation, all the other tasks which wanted to reserve the
metadata space were blocked. At some cases, they would be blocked for
a long time, it made the performance fluctuate wildly.

So we introduce the background metadata space reclamation, when the space
is about to be exhausted, we insert a reclaim work into the workqueue, the
worker of the workqueue helps us to reclaim the reserved space at the
background. By this way, the tasks needn''t reclaim the space by
themselves at
most cases, and even if the tasks have to reclaim the space or are blocked
for the space reclamation, they will get enough space more quickly.

Here is my test result(Tested by sysbench for 3 times):
 Memory:	2GB
 CPU:		2Cores * 1CPU
 Partition:	20GB(SSD)
				w/o			w
 seqwr-512KB-1Thread-2GB	180.08MB/s		178.00MB/s
 seqwr-512KB-8Threads-2GB	179.14MB/s		179.25MB/s
 seqwr-128KB-1Thread-2GB	186.3MB/s		186.57MB/s
 seqwr-128KB-8Threads-2GB	176.05MB/s		183.05MB/s

 rndwr-512KB-1Thread-2GB	114.20MB/s		117.42MB/s
 rndwr-512KB-8Threads-2GB	129.18MB/s		132.51MB/s
 rndwr-128KB-1Thread-2GB	963.94MB/s		1.4058GB/s
 rndwr-128KB-8Threads-2GB	1.1950GB/s		1.3787GB/s

The above numbers are the averages.

rndwr: random write test
seqwr: sequential write test
512KB,128KB: the size of each request
1Thread, 8Threads: the number of the test threads
2GB: The total file size

For the last two cases, the ramdom write test just executed 10000 requests
every time we ran the test, so the most data was cached in the page cache,
it is why the random test was faster than the sequential write test. And
besides that, according to our test result, the random write performance
on the kernel without the patch was not stable, it fluctuated between
840MB/s and 1.25GB/s. But after applying the patch, the performance of
the random write was stable.

This doesn''t seem to make sense, the waiters still go to wait and
schedule since
IO_DONE is not set there yet.

I can not understand what you said. We wake up the waiters after IO_DONE is set,
the waiters who wait for IO_DONE flag will not go to wait.

My bad, something got in my eye, I was thinking ''else'' is
keeped.

Re: [PATCH 5/5] Btrfs: reclaim the reserved metadata space at background

So the reason the flushing is done this way is because of this level of hell
called "early enospc."  Basically we''d get people flushing
randomly and other
users would come in and use the reclaimed space, so whoever was flushing would
often ENOSPC because they thought they did everything they could to flush and
still couldn''t make allocations.  This approach is a nice balance
keeping the
old "one at a time" flushers and adding a background flusher, but I
still worry
about people competing with the background flushing.

Consider the case where the background flusher has started and taken all of the
ordered extents on the system to flush (and lets assume that we only have
reservations tied up in ordered extents, which is very possible).  Then a task
comes in to make a reservation but it can''t because it doesn''t
have space, so it
tries to flush.  But the inline flushing stuff doesn''t find any ordered
extents
to flush because they''ve been spliced off the list by the background
flusher.
So we bail out and do -ENOSPC even though there is plenty of space.

What I would like to see is some way for a flusher who has to flush inline be
able to see that there is a background flusher and wait for it to finish its
work before doing its own flushing.  If I have to start tracking down early
ENOSPC problems again I may very well quit doing file system work forever.
Thanks,

Josef
