In this development cycle, we focused on several key performance optimizations:
1) introducing large folio support to enhance read speeds for immutable files,
2) reducing checkpoint=enable latency by flushing only committed dirty pages,
and 3) implementing tracepoints to diagnose and resolve lock priority inversion.
Additionally, we introduced the packed_ssa feature to optimize the SSA footprint
when utilizing large block sizes.
Enhancement:
- support large folio for immutable non-compressed case
- support non-4KB block size without packed_ssa feature
- optimize f2fs_enable_checkpoint() to avoid long delay
- optimize f2fs_overwrite_io() for f2fs_iomap_begin
- optimize NAT block loading during checkpoint write
- add write latency stats for NAT and SIT blocks in f2fs_write_checkpoint
- pin files do not require sbi->writepages lock for ordering
- avoid f2fs_map_blocks() for consecutive holes in readpages
- flush plug periodically during GC to maximize readahead effect
- add tracepoints to catch lock overheads
- add several sysfs entries to tune internal lock priorities
Bug fix:
- fix lock priority inversion issue
- fix incomplete block usage in compact SSA summaries
- fix to show simulate_lock_timeout correctly
- fix to avoid mapping wrong physical block for swapfile
- fix IS_CHECKPOINTED flag inconsistency issue caused by concurrent atomic
commit and checkpoint writes
- fix to avoid UAF in f2fs_write_end_io()
