Converted the function to use a folio_batch instead of pagevec. This is in
preparation for the removal of find_get_pages_range_tag().

Also modified f2fs_all_cluster_page_ready to take in a folio_batch instead
of pagevec. This does NOT support large folios. The function currently
only utilizes folios of size 1 so this shouldn't cause any issues right
now.

Vishal,

It looks this patch tries to revert Fengnan's change:

https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=01fc4b9a6ed8eacb64e5609bab7ac963e1c7e486

How about doing some tests to evaluate its performance effect?

Yeah I'll play around with it to see how much of a difference it makes.

I did some testing. Looks like reverting Fengnan's change allows for
occasional, but significant, spikes in write latency. I'll work on a variation
of the patch that maintains the use of F2FS_ONSTACK_PAGES and send
that in the next version of the patch series. Thanks for pointing that out!

How do the remaining f2fs patches in the series look to you?
Patch 16/23 f2fs_sync_meta_pages() in particular seems like it may
be prone to problems. If there are any changes that need to be made to
it I can include those in the next version as well.

Here are some numbers for reference to performance. I'm thinking we may
want to go with the new version, but I'll let you be the judge of that.

Thanks for reviewing this.  I think the real solution to this is
that f2fs should be using large folios.  That way, the page cache
will keep track of dirtiness on a per-folio basis, and if your folios
are at least as large as your cluster size, you won't need to do the
f2fs_prepare_compress_overwrite() dance.  And you'll get at least fifteen
dirty folios per call instead of fifteen dirty pages, so your costs will
be much lower.

Is anyone interested in doing the work to convert f2fs to support
large folios?  I can help, or you can look at the work done for XFS,
AFS and a few other filesystems.

Seems like an interesting job. Not sure if I can be of any help.
What needs to be done currently to support large folio?

Are there any roadmaps and reference documents.

From a filesystem point of view, you need to ensure that you handle folios
larger than PAGE_SIZE correctly.  The easiest way is to spread the use
of folios throughout the filesystem.  For example, today the first thing
we do in f2fs_read_data_folio() is convert the folio back into a page.
That works because f2fs hasn't told the kernel that it supports large
folios, so the VFS won't create large folios for it.

It's a lot of subtle things.  Here's an obvious one:
                        zero_user_segment(page, 0, PAGE_SIZE);
There's a folio equivalent that will zero an entire folio.

But then there is code which assumes the number of blocks per page (maybe
not in f2fs?) and so on.  Every filesystem will have its own challenges.

One way to approach this is to just enable large folios (see commit
6795801366da or 8549a26308f9) and see what breaks when you run xfstests
over it.  Probably quite a lot!

Following Matthew's comment, I'm thinking we should go with this patch
as is. The numbers between both variations did not have substantial
differences with regard to latency.

While the new variant would maintain the use of F2FS_ONSTACK_PAGES,
the code becomes messier and would end up limiting the number of
folios written back once large folio support is added. This means it would
have to be converted down to this version later anyways.

Does leaving this patch as is sound good to you?

For reference, here's what the version continuing to use a page
array of size F2FS_ONSTACK_PAGES would change:

+               nr_pages = 0;
+again:
+               nr_folios = filemap_get_folios_tag(mapping, &index, end,
+                               tag, &fbatch);
+               if (nr_folios == 0) {
+                       if (nr_pages)
+                               goto write;
+                               goto write;
                        break;
+               }

+               for (i = 0; i < nr_folios; i++) {
+                       struct folio* folio = fbatch.folios[i];
+
+                       idx = 0;
+                       p = folio_nr_pages(folio);
+add_more:
+                       pages[nr_pages] = folio_page(folio,idx);
+                       folio_ref_inc(folio);
+                       if (++nr_pages == F2FS_ONSTACK_PAGES) {
+                               index = folio->index + idx + 1;
+                               folio_batch_release(&fbatch);
+                               goto write;
+                       }
+                       if (++idx < p)
+                               goto add_more;
+               }

Thanks for reviewing the patches so far. I wanted to follow up on asking
for review of the last couple of patches.

Me and Pankaj are very interested in helping on this front. And so we'll
start to organize and talk every week about this to see what is missing.
First order of business however will be testing so we'll have to
establish a public baseline to ensure we don't regress. For this we intend
on using kdevops so that'll be done first.

If folks have patches they want to test in consideration for folio /
iomap enhancements feel free to Cc us :)

After we establish a baseline we can move forward with taking on tasks
which will help with this conversion.

So ... it's been a year.  How is this project coming along?  There
weren't a lot of commits to f2fs in 2023 that were folio related.

The review at LSFMM revealed iomap based filesystems were the priority
and so that has been the priority. Once we tackle that and get XFS
support we can revisit which next fs to help out with. Testing has been
a *huge* part of our endeavor, and naturally getting XFS patches up to
what is required has just taken a bit more time. But you can expect
patches for that within a month or so.

It already has been done for direct IO by Eric as per commit a1e09b03e6f5
("f2fs: use iomap for direct I/O"), not clear to me if anyone is working
on buffered-io. Then f2fs_commit_super() seems to be the last buffer-head
user, and its not clear what the replacement could be yet.

Jaegeuk, Eric, have you guys considered this?

Sure, I've *considered* that, along with other requested filesystem
modernization projects such as converting f2fs to use the new mount API and
finishing ext4's conversion to iomap.  But, I haven't had time to work on these
projects, nor to get very involved in f2fs beyond what's needed to maintain the
fscrypt and fsverity support.  I'm not anywhere close to a full-time filesystem
developer.  I did implement the f2fs iomap direct I/O support two years ago
because it made the fscrypt direct I/O support easier.  Note that these types of
changes are fairly disruptive, and there were bugs that resulted from my
patches, despite my best efforts.  It's necessary for someone to get deeply
involved in these types of changes and follow them all the way through.
