Btrfs: fix very slow inode eviction and fs unmount
The inode eviction can be very slow, because during eviction we tell the VFS to truncate all of the inode's pages. This results in calls to btrfs_invalidatepage() which in turn does calls to lock_extent_bits() and clear_extent_bit(). These calls result in too many merges and splits of extent_state structures, which consume a lot of time and cpu when the inode has many pages. In some scenarios I have experienced umount times higher than 15 minutes, even when there's no pending IO (after a btrfs fs sync). A quick way to reproduce this issue: $ mkfs.btrfs -f /dev/sdb3 $ mount /dev/sdb3 /mnt/btrfs $ cd /mnt/btrfs $ sysbench --test=fileio --file-num=128 --file-total-size=16G \ --file-test-mode=seqwr --num-threads=128 \ --file-block-size=16384 --max-time=60 --max-requests=0 run $ time btrfs fi sync . FSSync '.' real 0m25.457s user 0m0.000s sys 0m0.092s $ cd .. $ time umount /mnt/btrfs real 1m38.234s user 0m0.000s sys 1m25.760s The same test on ext4 runs much faster: $ mkfs.ext4 /dev/sdb3 $ mount /dev/sdb3 /mnt/ext4 $ cd /mnt/ext4 $ sysbench --test=fileio --file-num=128 --file-total-size=16G \ --file-test-mode=seqwr --num-threads=128 \ --file-block-size=16384 --max-time=60 --max-requests=0 run $ sync $ cd .. $ time umount /mnt/ext4 real 0m3.626s user 0m0.004s sys 0m3.012s After this patch, the unmount (inode evictions) is much faster: $ mkfs.btrfs -f /dev/sdb3 $ mount /dev/sdb3 /mnt/btrfs $ cd /mnt/btrfs $ sysbench --test=fileio --file-num=128 --file-total-size=16G \ --file-test-mode=seqwr --num-threads=128 \ --file-block-size=16384 --max-time=60 --max-requests=0 run $ time btrfs fi sync . FSSync '.' real 0m26.774s user 0m0.000s sys 0m0.084s $ cd .. $ time umount /mnt/btrfs real 0m1.811s user 0m0.000s sys 0m1.564s Signed-off-by: Filipe David Borba Manana <fdmanana@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Josef Bacik <jbacik@fb.com> Signed-off-by: Chris Mason <clm@fb.com>
