* f2fs: delete duplicate information on sysfs nodesHridya Valsaraju2020-01-231-166/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch merges the sysfs node documentation present in Documentation/filesystems/f2fs.txt and Documentation/ABI/testing/sysfs-fs-f2fs and deletes the duplicate information from Documentation/filesystems/f2fs.txt. This is to prevent having to update both files when a new sysfs node is added for f2fs. The patch also makes minor formatting changes to Documentation/ABI/testing/sysfs-fs-f2fs.

One cluster includes 4 << n (n >= 0) logical pages, compression size is also cluster size, each of cluster can be compressed or not. - In cluster metadata layout, one special flag is used to indicate cluster is compressed one or normal one, for compressed cluster, following metadata maps cluster to [1, 4 << n - 1] physical blocks, in where f2fs stores data including compress header and compressed data. - In order to eliminate write amplification during overwrite, F2FS only support compression on write-once file, data can be compressed only when all logical blocks in file are valid and cluster compress ratio is lower than specified threshold. - To enable compression on regular inode, there are three ways: * chattr +c file * chattr +c dir; touch dir/file * mount w/ -o compress_extension=ext; touch file.ext Compress metadata layout: [Dnode Structure] +-----------------------------------------------+ | cluster 1 | cluster 2 | ......... | cluster N | +-----------------------------------------------+ . . . . . . . . .

* f2fs: expose main_blkaddr in sysfsJaegeuk Kim2019-11-251-0/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Expose in /sys/fs/f2fs/<blockdev>/main_blkaddr the block address where the main area starts. This allows user mode programs to determine: - That pinned files that are made exclusively of fully allocated 2MB segments will never be unpinned by the file system. - Where the main area starts. This is required by programs that want to verify if a file is made exclusively of 2MB f2fs segments, the alignment boundary for segments starts at this address. Testing for 2MB alignment relative to the start of the device is incorrect, because for some filesystems main_blkaddr is not at a 2MB boundary relative to the start of the device. The entry will be used when validating reliable pinning file feature proposed by "f2fs: support aligned pinned file".

* f2fs: include charset encoding information in the superblockDaniel Rosenberg2019-08-231-0/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Add charset encoding to f2fs to support casefolding. It is modeled after the same feature introduced in commit c83ad55eaa91 ("ext4: include charset encoding information in the superblock") Currently this is not compatible with encryption, similar to the current ext4 imlpementation. This will change in the future. >From the ext4 patch: """ The s_encoding field stores a magic number indicating the encoding format and version used globally by file and directory names in the filesystem. The s_encoding_flags defines policies for using the charset encoding, like how to handle invalid sequences. The magic number is mapped to the exact charset table, but the mapping is specific to ext4. Since we don't have any commitment to support old encodings, the only encoding I am supporting right now is utf8-12.1.0. The current implementation prevents the user from enabling encoding and per-directory encryption on the same filesystem at the same time. The incompatibility between these features lies in how we do efficient directory searches when we cannot be sure the encryption of the user provided fname will match the actual hash stored in the disk without decrypting every directory entry, because of normalization cases. My quickest solution is to simply block the concurrent use of these features for now, and enable it later, once we have a better solution.

* f2fs: Add option to limit required GC for checkpoint=disableDaniel Rosenberg2019-06-031-1/+18
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This extends the checkpoint option to allow checkpoint=disable:%u[%] This allows you to specify what how much of the disk you are willing to lose access to while mounting with checkpoint=disable. If the amount lost would be higher, the mount will return -EAGAIN. This can be given as a percent of total space, or in blocks. Currently, we need to run garbage collection until the amount of holes is smaller than the OVP space. With the new option, f2fs can mark space as unusable up front instead of requiring garbage collection until the number of holes is small enough.

* f2fs: checkpoint disablingDaniel Rosenberg2018-10-161-0/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Note that, it requires "f2fs: return correct errno in f2fs_gc". This adds a lightweight non-persistent snapshotting scheme to f2fs. To use, mount with the option checkpoint=disable, and to return to normal operation, remount with checkpoint=enable. If the filesystem is shut down before remounting with checkpoint=enable, it will revert back to its apparent state when it was first mounted with checkpoint=disable. This is useful for situations where you wish to be able to roll back the state of the disk in case of some critical failure.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Previously, once fault injection is on, by default, all kind of faults will be injected to f2fs, if we want to trigger single or specified combined type during the test, we need to configure sysfs entry, it will be a little inconvenient to integrate sysfs configuring into testsuit, such as xfstest. So this patch introduces a new mount option 'fault_type' to assist old option 'fault_injection', with these two mount options, we can specify any fault rate/type at mount-time.

* f2fs: introduce mount option for fsync modeJunling Zheng2018-03-171-0/+7
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Commit "0a007b97aad6"(f2fs: recover directory operations by fsync) fixed xfstest generic/342 case, but it also increased the written data and caused the performance degradation. In most cases, there's no need to do so heavy fsync actually. So we introduce new mount option "fsync_mode={posix,strict}" to control the policy of fsync. "fsync_mode=posix" is set by default, and means that f2fs uses a light fsync, which follows POSIX semantics. And "fsync_mode=strict" means that it's a heavy fsync, which behaves in line with xfs, ext4 and btrfs, where generic/342 will pass, but the performance will regress.

Change Note by Jaegeuk Kim. - Use f2fs page cache for quota files in order to consider garbage collection. so, quota files are not tolerable for sudden power-cuts, so user needs to do quotacheck. - setattr() calls dquot_transfer which will transfer inode->i_blocks. We can't reclaim that during f2fs_evict_inode(). So, we need to count node blocks as well in order to match i_blocks with dquot's space. Note that, Chao wrote a patch to count inode->i_blocks without inode block. (f2fs: don't count inode block in in-memory inode.i_blocks) - in f2fs_remount, we need to make RW in prior to dquot_resume. - handle fault_injection case during f2fs_quota_off_umount - TODO: Project quota Signed-off-by: Chao Yu <yuchao0@huawei.com> Signed-off-by: Jaegeuk Kim <jaegeuk@kernel.org>

* f2fs: introduce f2fs_issue_flush to avoid redundant flush issueJaegeuk Kim2014-04-071-0/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Some storage devices show relatively high latencies to complete cache_flush commands, even though their normal IO speed is prettry much high. In such the case, it needs to merge cache_flush commands as much as possible to avoid issuing them redundantly. So, this patch introduces a mount option, "-o flush_merge", to mitigate such the overhead. If this option is enabled by user, F2FS merges the cache_flush commands and then issues just one cache_flush on behalf of them. Once the single command is finished, F2FS sends a completion signal to all the pending threads. Note that, this option can be used under a workload consisting of very intensive concurrent fsync calls, while the storage handles cache_flush commands slowly.

* f2fs: change reclaim rate in percentageJaegeuk Kim2014-03-201-3/+5
| | | | | | | | | It is more reasonable to determine the reclaiming rate of prefree segments according to the volume size, which is set to 5% by default. For example, if the volume is 128GB, the prefree segments are reclaimed when the number reaches to 6.4GB. Signed-off-by: Jaegeuk Kim <jaegeuk.kim@samsung.com>
* f2fs: throttle the memory footprint with a sysfs entryJaegeuk Kim2014-03-201-0/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch introduces ram_thresh, a sysfs entry, which controls the memory footprint used by the free nid list and the nat cache. Previously, the free nid list was controlled by MAX_FREE_NIDS, while the nat cache was managed by NM_WOUT_THRESHOLD. However, this approach cannot be applied dynamically according to the system. So, this patch adds ram_thresh that users can specify the threshold, which is in order of 1 / 1024. For example, if the total ram size is 4GB and the value is set to 10 by default, f2fs tries to control the number of free nids and nat caches not to consume over 10 * (4GB / 1024) = 10MB.
