------------------------------------------------------ From: Heming Zhao heming.zhao@suse.com Subject: ocfs2: fix the issue with discontiguous allocation in the global_bitmap Date: Mon, 14 Apr 2025 14:01:23 +0800
commit 4eb7b93e0310 ("ocfs2: improve write IO performance when fragmentation is high") introduced another regression.
The following ocfs2-test case can trigger this issue:
discontig_runner.sh => activate_discontig_bg.sh => resv_unwritten: ${RESV_UNWRITTEN_BIN} -f ${WORK_PLACE}/large_testfile -s 0 -l \ $((${FILE_MAJOR_SIZE_M}*1024*1024))
In my env, test disk size (by "fdisk -l <dev>"):
53687091200 bytes, 104857600 sectors.
Above command is:
/usr/local/ocfs2-test/bin/resv_unwritten -f \ /mnt/ocfs2/ocfs2-activate-discontig-bg-dir/large_testfile -s 0 -l \ 53187969024
Error log:
[*] Reserve 50724M space for a LARGE file, reserve 200M space for future test. ioctl error 28: "No space left on device" resv allocation failed Unknown error -1 reserve unwritten region from 0 to 53187969024.
Call flow: __ocfs2_change_file_space //by ioctl OCFS2_IOC_RESVSP64 ocfs2_allocate_unwritten_extents //start:0 len:53187969024 while() + ocfs2_get_clusters //cpos:0, alloc_size:1623168 (cluster number) + ocfs2_extend_allocation + ocfs2_lock_allocators | + choose OCFS2_AC_USE_MAIN & ocfs2_cluster_group_search | + ocfs2_add_inode_data ocfs2_add_clusters_in_btree __ocfs2_claim_clusters ocfs2_claim_suballoc_bits + During the allocation of the final part of the large file (after ~47GB), no chain had the required contiguous bits_wanted. Consequently, the allocation failed.
How to fix: When OCFS2 is encountering fragmented allocation, the file system should stop attempting bits_wanted contiguous allocation and instead provide the largest available contiguous free bits from the cluster groups.
