xfs: Don't free EOF blocks on close when extent size hints are setreduce-eofblocks-gc-on-close_2021-12-15
When we have a workload that does open/write/close on files with
extent size hints set in parallel with other allocation, the file
becomes rapidly fragmented. This is due to close() calling
xfs_release() and removing the preallocated extent beyond EOF. This
occurs for both buffered and direct writes that append to files with
extent size hints.
The existing open/write/close hueristic in xfs_release() does not
catch this as writes to files using extent size hints do not use
delayed allocation and hence do not leave delayed allocation blocks
allocated on the inode that can be detected in xfs_release(). Hence
XFS_IDIRTY_RELEASE never gets set.
In xfs_file_release(), we can tell whether the inode has extent size
hints set and skip EOF block truncation. We add this check to
xfs_can_free_eofblocks() so that we treat the post-EOF preallocated
extent like intentional preallocation and so are persistent unless
directly removed by userspace.
Before:
Test 2: Extent size hint fragmentation counts
/mnt/scratch/file.0: 1002
/mnt/scratch/file.1: 1002
/mnt/scratch/file.2: 1002
/mnt/scratch/file.3: 1002
/mnt/scratch/file.4: 1002
/mnt/scratch/file.5: 1002
/mnt/scratch/file.6: 1002
/mnt/scratch/file.7: 1002
After:
Test 2: Extent size hint fragmentation counts
/mnt/scratch/file.0: 4
/mnt/scratch/file.1: 4
/mnt/scratch/file.2: 4
/mnt/scratch/file.3: 4
/mnt/scratch/file.4: 4
/mnt/scratch/file.5: 4
/mnt/scratch/file.6: 4
/mnt/scratch/file.7: 4
