[BUG] There are users using autodefrag mount option reporting obvious increase in IO: > If I compare the write average (in total, I don't have it per process) > when taking idle periods on the same machine: > Linux 5.16: > without autodefrag: ~ 10KiB/s > with autodefrag: between 1 and 2MiB/s. > > Linux 5.15: > with autodefrag:~ 10KiB/s (around the same as without > autodefrag on 5.16) [CAUSE] When autodefrag mount option is enabled, btrfs_defrag_file() will be called with @max_sectors = BTRFS_DEFRAG_BATCH (1024) to limit how many sectors we can defrag in one try. And then use the number of sectors defragged to determine if we need to re-defrag. But commitb18c3ab234("btrfs: defrag: introduce helper to defrag one cluster") uses wrong unit to increase @sectors_defragged, which should be in unit of sector, not byte. This means, if we have defragged any sector, then @sectors_defragged will be >= sectorsize (normally 4096), which is larger than BTRFS_DEFRAG_BATCH. This makes the @max_sectors check in defrag_one_cluster() to underflow, rendering the whole @max_sectors check useless. Thus causing way more IO for autodefrag mount options, as now there is no limit on how many sectors can really be defragged. [FIX] Fix the problems by: - Use sector as unit when increasing @sectors_defragged - Include @sectors_defragged > @max_sectors case to break the loop - Add extra comment on the return value of btrfs_defrag_file() Reported-by: Anthony Ruhier <aruhier@mailbox.org> Fixes:b18c3ab234("btrfs: defrag: introduce helper to defrag one cluster") Link: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-btrfs/0a269612-e43f-da22-c5bc-b34b1b56ebe8@mailbox.org/ CC: stable@vger.kernel.org # 5.16 Reviewed-by: Filipe Manana <fdmanana@suse.com> Signed-off-by: Qu Wenruo <wqu@suse.com> Signed-off-by: David Sterba <dsterba@suse.com>
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
