FUSE file reads are cached in the page cache, but symlink reads are
not. This patch enables FUSE READLINK operations to be cached which
can improve performance of some FUSE workloads.
In particular, I'm working on a FUSE filesystem for access to source
code and discovered that about a 10% improvement to build times is
achieved with this patch (there are a lot of symlinks in the source
tree).

After sending a synchronous READ request from __fuse_direct_read() we only
need to invalidate atime; none of the other attributes should be changed by
a read().
Signed-off-by: Miklos Szeredi <mszeredi@redhat.com>
If 'auto_inval_data' mode is active, then fuse_file_read_iter() will call
fuse_update_attributes(), which will check the attribute validity and send
a GETATTR request if some of the attributes are no longer valid. The page
cache is then invalidated if the size or mtime have changed.
Then, if a READ request was sent and reply received (which is the case if
the data wasn't cached yet, or if the file is opened for O_DIRECT), the
atime attribute is invalidated.
This will result in the next read() also triggering a GETATTR, ...
This can be fixed by only sending GETATTR if the mode or size are invalid,
we don't need to do a refresh if only atime is invalid.
More generally, none of the callers of fuse_update_attributes() need an
up-to-date atime value, so for now just remove STATX_ATIME from the request
mask when attributes are updated for internal use.
Signed-off-by: Miklos Szeredi <mszeredi@redhat.com>
This patch adds the infrastructure for more fine grained attribute
invalidation. Currently only 'atime' is invalidated separately.
The use of this infrastructure is extended to the statx(2) interface, which
for now means that if only 'atime' is invalid and STATX_ATIME is not
specified in the mask argument, then no GETATTR request will be generated.

Writeback caching currently allocates requests with the maximum number of
possible pages, while the actual number of pages per request depends on a
couple of factors that cannot be determined when the request is allocated
(whether page is already under writeback, whether page is contiguous with
previous pages already added to a request).
This patch allows such requests to start with no page allocation (all pages
inline) and grow the page array on demand.
If the max_pages tunable remains the default value, then this will mean
just one allocation that is the same size as before. If the tunable is
larger, then this adds at most 3 additional memory allocations (which is
generously compensated by the improved performance from the larger
request).

Replace FUSE_MAX_PAGES_PER_REQ with the configurable parameter max_pages to
improve performance.
Old RFC with detailed description of the problem and many fixes by Mitsuo
Hayasaka (mitsuo.hayasaka.hu@hitachi.com):
- https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/7/5/136
We've encountered performance degradation and fixed it on a big and complex
virtual environment.
Environment to reproduce degradation and improvement:
1. Add lag to user mode FUSE
Add nanosleep(&(struct timespec){ 0, 1000 }, NULL); to xmp_write_buf in
passthrough_fh.c
2. patch UM fuse with configurable max_pages parameter. The patch will be
provided latter.
3. run test script and perform test on tmpfs
fuse_test()
{
cd /tmp
mkdir -p fusemnt
passthrough_fh -o max_pages=$1 /tmp/fusemnt
grep fuse /proc/self/mounts
dd conv=fdatasync oflag=dsync if=/dev/zero of=fusemnt/tmp/tmp \
count=1K bs=1M 2>&1 | grep -v records
rm fusemnt/tmp/tmp
killall passthrough_fh
}
Test results:
passthrough_fh /tmp/fusemnt fuse.passthrough_fh \
rw,nosuid,nodev,relatime,user_id=0,group_id=0 0 0
1073741824 bytes (1.1 GB) copied, 1.73867 s, 618 MB/s
passthrough_fh /tmp/fusemnt fuse.passthrough_fh \

1073741824 bytes (1.1 GB) copied, 1.15643 s, 928 MB/s
Obviously with bigger lag the difference between 'before' and 'after'
will be more significant.
Mitsuo Hayasaka, in 2012 (https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/7/5/136),
observed improvement from 400-550 to 520-740.

When allocating page array for a request the array for the page pointers
and the array for page descriptors are allocated by two separate kmalloc()
calls. Merge these into one allocation.
Also instead of initializing the request and the page arrays with memset(),
use the zeroing allocation variants.
Reserved requests never carry pages (page array size is zero). Make that
explicit by initializing the page array pointers to NULL and make sure the
assumption remains true by adding a WARN_ON().

Store the modification time of the directory in the cache, obtained before
starting to fill the cache.
When reading the cache, verify that the directory hasn't changed, by
checking if current modification time is the same as the one stored in the

This only needs to be done when the current file position is at the
beginning of the directory, as mandated by POSIX.

Allow the cache to be invalidated when page(s) have gone missing. In this
case increment the version of the cache and reset to an empty state.
Add a version number to the directory stream in struct fuse_file as well,
indicating the version of the cache it's supposed to be reading. If the
cache version doesn't match the stream's version, then reset the stream to
the beginning of the cache.
Signed-off-by: Miklos Szeredi <mszeredi@redhat.com>
The cache is only used if it's completed, not while it's still being
filled; this constraint could be lifted later, if it turns out to be
useful.
Introduce state in struct fuse_file that indicates the position within the
cache. After a seek, reset the position to the beginning of the cache and
search the cache for the current position. If the current position is not
found in the cache, then fall back to uncached readdir.
It can also happen that page(s) disappear from the cache, in which case we
must also fall back to uncached readdir.

This patch just adds the cache filling functions, which are invoked if
FOPEN_CACHE_DIR flag is set in the OPENDIR reply.
Cache reading and cache invalidation are added by subsequent patches.
The directory cache uses the page cache. Directory entries are packed into
a page in the same format as in the READDIR reply. A page only contains
whole entries, the space at the end of the page is cleared. The page is
locked while being modified.
Multiple parallel readdirs on the same directory can fill the cache; the
only constraint is that continuity must be maintained (d_off of last entry
points to position of current entry).

We noticed the performance bottleneck in FUSE running our Virtuozzo storage
over rdma. On some types of workload we observe 20% of times spent in
request_find() in profiler. This function is iterating over long requests
list, and it scales bad.
The patch introduces hash table to reduce the number of iterations, we do
in this function. Hash generating algorithm is taken from hash_add()
function, while 256 lines table is used to store pending requests. This

negative with the preexisting alias moved in the right place is just
fine from the ->mkdir() callers point of view.

This is a late set of changes from Deepa Dinamani doing an automated
treewide conversion of the inode and iattr structures from 'timespec'
to 'timespec64', to push the conversion from the VFS layer into the
individual file systems.
There were no conflicts between this and the contents of linux-next
until just before the merge window, when we saw multiple problems:
- A minor conflict with my own y2038 fixes, which I could address
by adding another patch on top here.
- One semantic conflict with late changes to the NFS tree. I addressed
this by merging Deepa's original branch on top of the changes that
now got merged into mainline and making sure the merge commit includes
the necessary changes as produced by coccinelle.
- A trivial conflict against the removal of staging/lustre.
- Multiple conflicts against the VFS changes in the overlayfs tree.
These are still part of linux-next, but apparently this is no longer
intended for 4.18 [1], so I am ignoring that part.
As Deepa writes:
The series aims to switch vfs timestamps to use struct timespec64.
Currently vfs uses struct timespec, which is not y2038 safe.
The series involves the following:
1. Add vfs helper functions for supporting struct timepec64 timestamps.
2. Cast prints of vfs timestamps to avoid warnings after the switch.
3. Simplify code using vfs timestamps so that the actual
replacement becomes easy.
4. Convert vfs timestamps to use struct timespec64 using a script.
This is a flag day patch.
Next steps:
1. Convert APIs that can handle timespec64, instead of converting
timestamps at the boundaries.
2. Update internal data structures to avoid timestamp conversions.
Thomas Gleixner adds:
I think there is no point to drag that out for the next merge window.
The whole thing needs to be done in one go for the core changes which
means that you're going to play that catchup game forever. Let's get
over with it towards the end of the merge window.
