This patch improves the gc efficiency by optimizing the victim selection policy. With this optimization, the random re-write performance could increase up to 20%. For f2fs, when disk is in shortage of free spaces, gc will selects dirty segments and moves valid blocks around for making more space available. The gc cost of a segment is determined by the valid blocks in the segment. The less the valid blocks, the higher the efficiency. The ideal victim segment is the one that has the most garbage blocks. Currently, it searches up to 20 dirty segments for a victim segment. The selected victim is not likely the best victim for gc when there are much more dirty segments. Why not searching more dirty segments for a better victim? The cost of searching dirty segments is negligible in comparison to moving blocks. In this patch, it enlarges the MAX_VICTIM_SEARCH to 4096 to make the search more aggressively for a possible better victim. Since it also applies to victim selection for SSR, it will likely improve the SSR efficiency as well. The test case is simple. It creates as many files until the disk full. The size for each file is 32KB. Then it writes as many as 100000 records of 4KB size to random offsets of random files in sync mode. The testing was done on a 2GB partition of a SDHC card. Let's see the test result of f2fs without and with the patch. --------------------------------------- 2GB partition, SDHC create 52023 files of size 32768 bytes random re-write 100000 records of 4KB --------------------------------------- | file creation (s) | rewrite time (s) | gc count | gc garbage blocks | [no patch] 341 4227 1174 174840 [patched] 324 2958 645 106682 It's obvious that, with the patch, f2fs finishes the test in 20+% less time than without the patch. And internally it does much less gc with higher efficiency than before. Since the performance improvement is related to gc, it might not be so obvious for other tests that do not trigger gc as often as this one ( This is because f2fs selects dirty segments for SSR use most of the time when free space is in shortage). The well-known iozone test tool was not used for benchmarking the patch becuase it seems do not have a test case that performs random re-write on a full disk. This patch is the revised version based on the suggestion from Jaegeuk Kim.
