There has been efforts over the last 16 years to enable enable Large Block Sizes (LBS), that is block sizes in filesystems where bs > page size. Through these efforts we have learned that one of the main blockers to supporting bs > ps in filesystems has been a way to allocate pages that are at least the filesystem block size on the page cache where bs > ps. Thanks to various previous efforts it is possible to support bs > ps in XFS with only a few changes in XFS itself. Most changes are to the page cache to support minimum order folio support for the target block size on the filesystem. A motivation for Large Block Sizes today is to support high-capacity (large amount of Terabytes) QLC SSDs where the internal Indirection Unit (IU) are typically greater than 4k to help reduce DRAM and so in turn cost and space. In practice this then allows different architectures to use a base page size of 4k while still enabling support for block sizes aligned to the larger IUs by relying on high order folios on the page cache when needed. It also allows to take advantage of the drive's support for atomics larger than 4k with buffered IO support in Linux. As described this year at LSFMM, supporting large atomics greater than 4k enables databases to remove the need to rely on their own journaling, so they can disable double buffered writes, which is a feature different cloud providers are already enabling through custom storage solutions" * tag 'vfs-6.12.blocksize' of gitolite.kernel.org:pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs: (22 commits) Documentation: iomap: fix a typo iomap: remove the iomap_file_buffered_write_punch_delalloc return value iomap: pass the iomap to the punch callback iomap: pass flags to iomap_file_buffered_write_punch_delalloc iomap: improve shared block detection in iomap_unshare_iter iomap: handle a post-direct I/O invalidate race in iomap_write_delalloc_release docs:filesystems: fix spelling and grammar mistakes in iomap design page filemap: fix htmldoc warning for mapping_align_index() iomap: make zero range flush conditional on unwritten mappings iomap: fix handling of dirty folios over unwritten extents iomap: add a private argument for iomap_file_buffered_write iomap: remove set_memor_ro() on zero page xfs: enable block size larger than page size support xfs: make the calculation generic in xfs_sb_validate_fsb_count() xfs: expose block size in stat xfs: use kvmalloc for xattr buffers iomap: fix iomap_dio_zero() for fs bs > system page size filemap: cap PTE range to be created to allowed zero fill in folio_map_range() mm: split a folio in minimum folio order chunks readahead: allocate folios with mapping_min_order in readahead ... |
