Commit Message

Ojaswin Mujoo April 18, 2022, 8:35 a.m. UTC
In __ext4_super() we always overwrote the user specified journal_ioprio
value with a default value, expecting  parse_apply_sb_mount_options() to
later correctly set ctx->journal_ioprio to the user specified value.
However, if parse_apply_sb_mount_options() returned early because of
empty sbi->es_s->s_mount_opts, the correct journal_ioprio value was
never set.

This patch fixes __ext4_super() to only use the default value if the
user has not specified any value for journal_ioprio.

Similarly, the remount behavior was to either use journal_ioprio
value specified during initial mount, or use the default value
irrespective of the journal_ioprio value specified during remount.
This patch modifies this to first check if a new value for ioprio
has been passed during remount and apply it. Incase, no new value is
passed, use the value specified during initial mount.

Also the problem is that ext4_parse_param() is called before
__ext4_fill_super(). Hence when we overwrite ctx->journal_ioprio to default
value in __ext4_fill_super(), that will end up ignoring the user passed
journal_ioprio value via mount opts (which was passed earlier in
ext4_parse_param()).

Yup, here also ext4_parse_param() is called before __ext4_remount().
Hence we should check if the user has passed it's value in mount opts, if not,
only then we should use the task original ioprio.


I tested this patch and with the patch applied, the task ioprio can be correctly
set using "journal_ioprio" mount option.

"Mount test"
=============
qemu-> sudo perf record -e probe:* -aR mount -o journal_ioprio=1 /dev/loop2 /mnt
qemu-> ps -eaf |grep -E "jbd2|loop2"

qemu-> ionice -p 3506

"remount test"
=================
qemu-> sudo perf record -e probe:* -aR mount -o remount,journal_ioprio=0 /dev/loop2 /mnt
qemu-> sudo perf script
           mount  3519 [000]  2544.958850: probe:ext4_parse_param_L222: (ffffffff8147817f) journal_ioprio=16384 spec=32

qemu-> ionice -p 3506
best-effort: prio 0

"remount with no mount options"
=================================
qemu-> sudo perf record -e probe:* -aR mount -o remount /dev/loop2 /mnt
qemu-> ionice -p 3506

We should add fixes tag too. Can you please confirm if that would be this patch?
"ext4: Completely separate options parsing and sb setup".

With that feel free to add below -

Oops, will fix this in v2.

Right, I think my commit mesage is a bit incorrect in this regards. I
will fix this in v2.

Yes, it does seem like this issue was intorduced in this particular

Thanks again for the review. I'll wait for a bit to see if we have any
more reviews and then send a v2 with the suggested changes.
