btrfs: do not block inode logging for so long during transaction commit
Early on during a transaction commit we acquire the tree_log_mutex and hold it until after we write the super blocks. But before writing the extent buffers dirtied by the transaction and the super blocks we unblock the transaction by setting its state to TRANS_STATE_UNBLOCKED and setting fs_info->running_transaction to NULL. This means that after that and before writing the super blocks, new transactions can start. However if any transaction wants to log an inode, it will block waiting for the transaction commit to write its dirty extent buffers and the super blocks because the tree_log_mutex is only released after those operations are complete, and starting a new log transaction blocks on that mutex (at start_log_trans()). Writing the dirty extent buffers and the super blocks can take a very significant amount of time to complete, but we could allow the tasks wanting to log an inode to proceed with most of their steps: 1) create the log trees 2) log metadata in the trees 3) write their dirty extent buffers They only need to wait for the previous transaction commit to complete (write its super blocks) before they attempt to write their super blocks, otherwise we could end up with a corrupt filesystem after a crash. So change start_log_trans() to use the root tree's log_mutex to serialize for the creation of the log root tree instead of using the tree_log_mutex, and make btrfs_sync_log() acquire the tree_log_mutex before writing the super blocks. This allows for inode logging to wait much less time when there is a previous transaction that is still committing, often not having to wait at all, as by the time when we try to sync the log the previous transaction already wrote its super blocks. This patch belongs to a patch set that is comprised of the following patches: btrfs: fix race causing unnecessary inode logging during link and rename btrfs: fix race that results in logging old extents during a fast fsync btrfs: fix race that causes unnecessary logging of ancestor inodes btrfs: fix race that makes inode logging fallback to transaction commit btrfs: fix race leading to unnecessary transaction commit when logging inode btrfs: do not block inode logging for so long during transaction commit The following script that uses dbench was used to measure the impact of the whole patchset: $ cat test-dbench.sh #!/bin/bash DEV=/dev/nvme0n1 MNT=/mnt/btrfs MOUNT_OPTIONS="-o ssd" echo "performance" | \ tee /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu*/cpufreq/scaling_governor mkfs.btrfs -f -m single -d single $DEV mount $MOUNT_OPTIONS $DEV $MNT dbench -D $MNT -t 300 64 umount $MNT The test was run on a machine with 12 cores, 64G of ram, using a NVMe device and a non-debug kernel configuration (Debian's default).
