xfs: optimise away log forces on timestamp updates for fdatasync xfs: timestamp updates cause excessive fdatasync log traffic Sage Weil reported that a ceph test workload was writing to the log on every fdatasync during an overwrite workload. Event tracing showed that the only metadata modification being made was the timestamp updates during the write(2) syscall, but fdatasync(2) is supposed to ignore them. The key observation was that the transactions in the log all looked like this: INODE: #regs: 4 ino: 0x8b flags: 0x45 dsize: 32 And contained a flags field of 0x45 or 0x85, and had data and attribute forks following the inode core. This means that the timestamp updates were triggering dirty relogging of previously logged parts of the inode that hadn't yet been flushed back to disk. There are two parts to this problem. The first is that XFS relogs dirty regions in subsequent transactions, so it carries around the fields that have been dirtied since the last time the inode was written back to disk, not since the last time the inode was forced into the log. The second part is that on v5 filesystems, the inode change count update during inode dirtying also sets the XFS_ILOG_CORE flag, so on v5 filesystems this makes a timestamp update dirty the entire inode. As a result when fdatasync is run, it looks at the dirty fields in the inode, and sees more than just the timestamp flag, even though the only metadata change since the last fdatasync was just the timestamps. Hence we force the log on every subsequent fdatasync even though it is not needed. To fix this, add a new field to the inode log item that tracks changes since the last time fsync/fdatasync forced the log to flush the changes to the journal. This flag is updated when we dirty the inode, but we do it before updating the change count so it does not carry the "core dirty" flag from timestamp updates. The fields are zeroed when the inode is marked clean (due to writeback/freeing) or when an fsync/datasync forces the log. Hence if we only dirty the timestamps on the inode between fsync/fdatasync calls, the fdatasync will not trigger another log force.
