From 83e80a6e3543f37f74c8e48a5f305b054b65ce2a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jan Kara jack@suse.cz Date: Thu, 8 Sep 2022 11:21:28 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] ext4: use buckets for cr 1 block scan instead of rbtree
Using rbtree for sorting groups by average fragment size is relatively expensive (needs rbtree update on every block freeing or allocation) and leads to wide spreading of allocations because selection of block group is very sentitive both to changes in free space and amount of blocks allocated. Furthermore selecting group with the best matching average fragment size is not necessary anyway, even more so because the variability of fragment sizes within a group is likely large so average is not telling much. We just need a group with large enough average fragment size so that we have high probability of finding large enough free extent and we don't want average fragment size to be too big so that we are likely to find free extent only somewhat larger than what we need.
So instead of maintaing rbtree of groups sorted by fragment size keep bins (lists) or groups where average fragment size is in the interval [2^i, 2^(i+1)). This structure requires less updates on block allocation / freeing, generally avoids chaotic spreading of allocations into block groups, and still is able to quickly (even faster that the rbtree) provide a block group which is likely to have a suitably sized free space extent.
This patch reduces number of block groups used when untarring archive with medium sized files (size somewhat above 64k which is default mballoc limit for avoiding locality group preallocation) to about half and thus improves write speeds for eMMC flash significantly.
