[v3,2/4] xfs: use locality optimized cntbt lookups for near mode allocations

Commit Message

Brian Foster Aug. 15, 2019, 12:55 p.m. UTC

The extent allocation code in XFS has several allocation modes with
unique implementations. These modes are not all that different from
a high level perspective. The most involved mode is near allocation
mode which attempts to allocate an optimally sized extent with ideal
locality with respect to a provided agbno hint.

In the common case, a near mode allocation consists of a conditional
scan of the last cntbt block followed by a concurrent left and right
spanning search of the bnobt starting from the ideal point of
locality in the bnobt. This works reasonably well as filesystems age
via most common allocation patterns. If free space fragments as the
filesystem ages, however, the near algorithm has very poor breakdown
characteristics. If the extent size lookup happens to land outside
(i.e., before) the last cntbt block, the alloc bypasses the cntbt
entirely. If a suitably sized extent is far enough away from the
starting points of the bnobt search, the left/right scans can take a
significant amount of time to locate the target extent. This leads
to pathological allocation latencies in certain workloads.

While locality is important to near mode allocations, it is not so
important as to incur pathological allocation latency to provide the
asolute best locality for every allocation. The left/right bnobt
scan is inefficient in many large allocation scenarios. As an
alternative, we can use locality optimized lookups of the cntbt to
find the closest extent to the target agbno of a particular size. We
can repeat this lookup to cover a larger span of extents much more
efficiently. Finally, we can combine this cntbt lookup algorithm
with the existing bnobt scan to provide a natural balance between
the two for large and small allocations. For example, the bnobt scan
may be able to satisfy inode chunk or btree block allocations fairly
quickly where the cntbt search may have to search through a large
set of extent sizes. On the other hand, the cntbt search can more
deterministically scan the set of free extents available for much
larger delayed allocation requests where the bnobt scan may have to
search the entire AG.

Rework the near mode allocation algorithm as described above to
provide predictable allocation latency under breakdown conditions
with good enough locality in the common case. In doing so, refactor
the affected code into a more generic interface and mechanisms to
facilitate future reuse by the by-size and exact mode algorithms.
Both allocation modes currently have unique, ground-up
implementations that can be replaced with minimal logic additions to
the generic code in this patch.

Whee, a huge patch! :)

I sure wish this lengthy description was being put into xfs_alloc.c
itself.  It would be nice to have some pictures of how this is supposed
to work too.

Is it supposed to be the case that acur->cnt == cur?  Why not omit the

Err... what do fin-done and iters do?

"If @findone, return the first thing we find" and "Only search @iters
steps away"?  Maybe the two bools should be flags?

So ... we cap the distance we'll walk the two bno cursors to 1 record,
which I think is key to preventing the "pathological allocation"

...and I guess this means that now we're racing incremental steps of
three different free space btree cursors to see if any of the three will
find a match with the length we want?

And if all of this fails, then we fall back to scanning backwards with
the cntbt until we find something?

Ok, I think I get how this is a behavior improvement on the old code.

The splitting of the old _near function into smaller pieces makes it a
little easier to read the code, though I sorta wish this was more like
the March(?) version where the splitting happened and /then/ the
behavior change came after, instead of a 33K patch...

I can try to filter some of this down into the functions that implement
the appropriate bits of the algorithm. I'm not sure what a picture might
look like though... can you elaborate on what you're looking for here?

Yeah, it was originally written to facilitate reuse but didn't end up
that way. I should be able to just drop the cursor parameter. I might
rename it to something like cntbt_lookup_iter() too just so it's clear,
FWIW.

Yeah.. basically visit iters records and whether or not to end the
search if we find an allocation candidate. It doesn't matter to me
whether we use bools or flags, but how do you prefer to define flags for
the increment/decrement control? Increment by default unless
XFS_ALLOC_DECREMENT or some such flag is passed..? Vice versa?

The key to avoiding the pathological behavior is more to have the cntbt
lookup search in parallel. That prevents us from ultimately having to
scan through bunches of bnobt blocks without any records that meet the
minimum requirements, particularly for larger allocation requests. The
cntbt lookup guarantees we'll find some extents that at least meet the
size requirement of the allocation in a timely fashion.

In that sense, the bnobt scan becomes more of an optimization/balance
for smaller allocations. If the bnobt scan finds a maxlen extent before
the cntbt lookup completes, we know we've found best case locality.
E.g., this is pretty much what happens every time for single block
allocations where otherwise the cntbt search would have to jump from
single block extents all the way to the largest free extent before it
would terminate.

With regard to the per-iteration tuning, I was originally thinking about
having this scan a full block at a time, since we've already had to read
it off disk. That turned out to be more overhead than I initially
thought so I just set it back to 1 to keep it simple. I'm guessing we
could bump it to something slightly larger (more on the order of a
handful), but I just haven't come across a case where that level of fine
tuning matters to this point.

Pretty much. The bnobt search is by-definition a locality search so we
can terminate immediately on a maxlen hit. The cntbt search could
essentially provide random locality because of how the tree is
organized, hence the need for multiple lookups of >=maxlen sized extents
to improve the quality of the locality.

If the search fails, the fallbacks are less performance sensitive and
oriented towards just finding something that satisfies minlen.

I'm not sure what you're referring to here. I never split up the current
implementation because I didn't have a clear path to do that at the
time. This was partly because the final algorithm wasn't really
established, so I needed to work that out, but also because there are
some weird quirks with the current code where helper functions are tied
into behavior of the higher level algorithm and it seemed like kind of a
mess to untangle just to potentially replace that code.

The previous version of this series converted more allocation modes
(exact and by-size) than this version. Those have been temporarily
dropped for now so I can make progress on the core mechanism/interfaces
without continuously refactoring the rest. Is that what you're referring
to?

I can take another look at moving to the updated algorithm more
incrementally now that the end result is more of a known quantity, but
I'll have to go back and stare at it some more to figure if/how much it
can be broken up...
