Subject: [RFC v2 1/2] ext4: Add multi-fsblock atomic write support with bigalloc
EXT4 supports bigalloc feature which allows the FS to work in size of
clusters (group of blocks) rather than individual blocks. This patch
adds atomic write support for bigalloc so that systems with bs = ps can
also create FS using -
mkfs.ext4 -F -O bigalloc -b 4096 -C 16384 <dev>
With bigalloc ext4 can support multi-fsblock atomic writes. We will have to
adjust ext4's atomic write unit max value to cluster size. This can then support
atomic write of size anywhere between [blocksize, clustersize].
We first query the underlying region of the requested range by calling
ext4_map_blocks() call. Here are the various cases which we then handle
for block allocation depending upon the underlying mapping type:
1. If the underlying region for the entire requested range is a mapped extent,
then we don't call ext4_map_blocks() to allocate anything. We don't need to
even start the jbd2 txn in this case.
2. For an append write case, we create a mapped extent.
3. If the underlying region is entirely a hole, then we create an unwritten
extent for the requested range.
4. If the underlying region is a large unwritten extent, then we split the
extent into 2 unwritten extent of required size.
5. If the underlying region has any type of mixed mapping, then we call
ext4_map_blocks() in a loop to zero out the unwritten and the hole regions
within the requested range. This then provide a single mapped extent type
mapping for the requested range.
Note: We invoke ext4_map_blocks() in a loop with the EXT4_GET_BLOCKS_ZERO
flag only when the underlying extent mapping of the requested range is
not entirely a hole, an unwritten extent, or a fully mapped extent. That
is, if the underlying region contains a mix of hole(s), unwritten
extent(s), and mapped extent(s), we use this loop to ensure that all the
short mappings are zeroed out. This guarantees that the entire requested
range becomes a single, uniformly mapped extent. It is ok to do so
because we know this is being done on a bigalloc enabled filesystem
where the block bitmap represents the entire cluster unit.
