Message-Id: <20220821172126.45113-1-hanjinke.666@bytedance.com> Date: Mon, 22 Aug 2022 01:21:26 +0800 From: Jinke Han <hanjinke.666@...edance.com> To: tytso@....edu, adilger.kernel@...ger.ca Cc: linux-ext4@...r.kernel.org, linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org, Jinke Han <hanjinke.666@...edance.com> Subject: [PATCH] ext4: do io submit when next to write page not continues From: Jinke Han <hanjinke.666@...edance.com> In ext4_writepages, sometimes we leave the bio to next-to-write page for physic block merge. But if next page no longer continus, we'd better submit it immediately, For extent inode, the chance of physic continue while logic block not continus is very small. If next to write page not coninus and unmapped, we may gather enough pages for extent and then do block allocation and mapping for it's extent. Then we try to merge to prev bio and get failed. For the prev bio, the waiting time is unnecessary. In that case, we have to flush the prev bio with holding all page locks of the extent. The submit_bio may be blocked by wbt or getting request which may take a while. Users also may be waiting for these page locks. In fast do_map=0 mode, we also end this not much hope waiting soon and submit it without any page lock.
