Subject: [Bug 218932] New: Serious problem with ext4 with all kernels,
auto-commits do not settle to block device
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=218932
Bug ID: 218932
Summary: Serious problem with ext4 with all kernels,
auto-commits do not settle to block device
Product: File System
Version: 2.5
Hardware: All
OS: Linux
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: P3
Component: ext4
Assignee: fs_ext4@...nel-bugs.osdl.org
Reporter: sirius@...lhaven.com
Regression: No
Tested in kernel 5.11, 6.1, 6.8
Some writes to ext4 (default commit=5) do not commit to block device in more
than 25 seconds.
How to reproduce:
apt install php-cli -y
Instead of iostat create io watcher, that shows real writes to block device in
Mb every second:
show_writes.php
=================================
#!/usr/bin/php
<?php
if(!isset($argv[1])) die("provide device\n");
if(!($device = realpath($argv[1]))) die("can't realpath device\n");
if(!preg_match("@[^/]+$@", $device, $m)) die();
$device = $m[0];
$prev = 0;
while(1) {
$data = preg_split("/\s+/",
trim(file_get_contents("/sys/block/$device/stat")));
if(empty($data)) die("can't get device info");
if($prev) echo date("h:i:s")."
".number_format(($data[6]-$prev)*512/1024/1024,2)." M\n";
$prev = $data[6];
sleep(1);
}
=================================
Add free HDD/partition of 20Mb+ size (/dev/vdb)
In first console run:
php show_writes.php /dev/vdb
In second console run:
mkfs.ext4 -E lazy_itable_init=0 -E lazy_journal_init=0 /dev/vdb
mount /dev/vdb /mnt/
rm -f /mnt/test; sync; sleep 1; date && dd if=/dev/urandom of=/mnt/test bs=1M
count=10
# watch that 10Mb write has settled in 5 seconds, good
rm -f /mnt/test; sync; sleep 1; date && dd if=/dev/urandom of=/mnt/test bs=1M
count=10
# watch, that second 10Mb write does not commit to block device in more than 25
seconds, but should in 5 seconds, repeat if did.
