It entirely depends on where the speed improvement comes from. From experience, the speed improvement is probably worthwhile, and probably isn't gained at the expense of worse performance on other work-loads. But this is a guestimate, based on the fact timings 2 and 3 (2.8s v 2.7s) are almost identical. Which implies the v2 patch isn't now doing any more work than the previous baseline before the "mm: put readahead pages in cache earlier" patch (*). As such the speed improvement must be coming from increased parallelism. Such as moving from serially reading the readahead blocks to parallel reading. But, without looking at any trace output, that is just a guestimate. Phillip (*) multiply decompressing the same blocks, which is the cause of the performance regression. > > Thanks. > > testing env: > - arm64 on kernel 5.10 > - data: ~ 300K pack file contains some android files > >> fs/squashfs/file.c | 77 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++- >> 1 file changed, 76 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) >> >> diff --git a/fs/squashfs/file.c b/fs/squashfs/file.c >> index a8e495d8eb86..e10a55c5b1eb 100644 >> --- a/fs/squashfs/file.c >> +++ b/fs/squashfs/file.c >> @@ -39,6 +39,7 @@ >> #include "squashfs_fs_sb.h" >> #include "squashfs_fs_i.h" >> #include "squashfs.h" >> +#include "page_actor.h" >> >> /* >> * Locate cache slot in range [offset, index] for specified inode.

Removing loops still results in less time. But after counting the #traces lines in squashfs_read_data(): If we remove the for loop (timings 4), the logs are less: 2.3K lines, while v2 (timings 3) has 3.7K (other timings are also around 3.7K), so removing loop doesn't look right. I think v2 should be fine considering the slightly to none regression compared to before. Hi Matthew, what do you think? Do you have other comments? If not, should I send a v3 to change Xiongwei Song's email address or can you help modify it?

There are two things missing from the patch which need to be handled. These are not related to performance but error handling and correctness. So I have waited until now to raise it. If you look at the code for file_direct.c::squashfs_readpage_block() https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/latest/source/fs/squashfs/file_direct.c#L93 **** res = squashfs_read_data(inode->i_sb, block, bsize, NULL, actor); if (res < 0) goto mark_errored; if (res != expected) { res = -EIO; goto mark_errored; } **** You will see that it checks for two return conditions from squashfs_read_data(). If the decompressor returns error, or if the decompressed block is different in size to that expected, then this is an error situation (e.g. corrupted filesystem), and the read is marked as bad. The current V2 patch doesn't check that the block decompressed to the correct size (res != expected), and this could mean filesystem corruption is not detected, which will be an error handling regression. Secondly, if you look at https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/latest/source/fs/squashfs/file_direct.c#L102 **** /* Last page may have trailing bytes not filled */ bytes = res % PAGE_SIZE; if (bytes) { pageaddr = kmap_atomic(page[pages - 1]); memset(pageaddr + bytes, 0, PAGE_SIZE - bytes); kunmap_atomic(pageaddr); } **** The V2 patch is always reading max_pages, but at the end of a file the last page may not be a full page. This is because the last block may not be complete (i.e. it is only 126 Kbytes rather than the block_size of 128 Kbytes). This will leave part of the last page unfilled by the decompressor, and it should be zero filled, to avoid leaking data to user-space. Phillip > Hi Matthew, what do you think?

In v3: Added the check to see if the returned size is expected too.

Implement readahead callback for squashfs. It will read datablocks which cover pages in readahead request. For a few cases it will not mark page as uptodate, including: - file end is 0. - zero filled blocks. - current batch of pages isn't in the same datablock or not enough in a datablock. Otherwise pages will be marked as uptodate. The unhandled pages will be updated by readpage later.
