f2fs: reduce expensive checkpoint trigger frequency
We may trigger high frequent checkpoint for below case: 1. mkdir /mnt/dir1; set dir1 encrypted 2. touch /mnt/file1; fsync /mnt/file1 3. mkdir /mnt/dir2; set dir2 encrypted 4. touch /mnt/file2; fsync /mnt/file2 ... Although, newly created dir and file are not related, due to commit bbf156f7 ("f2fs: fix lost xattrs of directories"), we will trigger checkpoint whenever fsync() comes after a new encrypted dir created. In order to avoid such performance regression issue, let's record an entry including directory's ino in global cache whenever we update directory's xattr data, and then triggerring checkpoint() only if xattr metadata of target file's parent was updated. This patch updates to cover below no encryption case as well: 1) parent is checkpointed 2) set_xattr(dir) w/ new xnid 3) create(file) 4) fsync(file) Fixes: bbf156f7 ("f2fs: fix lost xattrs of directories") Reported-by: wangzijie <wangzijie1@honor.com> Reported-by: Zhiguo Niu <zhiguo.niu@unisoc.com> Tested-by: Zhiguo Niu <zhiguo.niu@unisoc.com> Reported-by: Yunlei He <heyunlei@hihonor.com> Signed-off-by: Chao Yu <chao@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Jaegeuk Kim <jaegeuk@kernel.org>
