There are several issues in current background GC algorithm: - valid blocks is one of key factors during cost overhead calculation, so if segment has less valid block, however even its age is young or it locates hot segment, CB algorithm will still choose the segment as victim, it's not appropriate. - GCed data/node will go to existing logs, no matter in-there datas' update frequency is the same or not, it may mix hot and cold data again. - GC alloctor mainly use LFS type segment, it will cost free segment more quickly. This patch introduces a new algorithm named age threshold based garbage collection to solve above issues, there are three steps mainly: 1. select a source victim: - set an age threshold, and select candidates beased threshold: e.g. 0 means youngest, 100 means oldest, if we set age threshold to 80 then select dirty segments which has age in range of [80, 100] as candiddates; - set candidate_ratio threshold, and select candidates based the ratio, so that we can shrink candidates to those oldest segments; - select target segment with fewest valid blocks in order to migrate blocks with minimum cost; 2. select a target victim: - select candidates beased age threshold; - set candidate_radius threshold, search candidates whose age is around source victims, searching radius should less than the radius threshold. - select target segment with most valid blocks in order to avoid migrating current target segment. 3. merge valid blocks from source victim into target victim with SSR alloctor. Test steps: - create 160 dirty segments: * half of them have 128 valid blocks per segment * left of them have 384 valid blocks per segment - run background GC Benefit: GC count and block movement count both decrease obviously: - Before: - Valid: 86 - Dirty: 1 - Prefree: 11 - Free: 6001 (6001) GC calls: 162 (BG: 220) - data segments : 160 (160) - node segments : 2 (2) Try to move 41454 blocks (BG: 41454) - data blocks : 40960 (40960) - node blocks : 494 (494) IPU: 0 blocks SSR: 0 blocks in 0 segments LFS: 41364 blocks in 81 segments - After: - Valid: 87 - Dirty: 0 - Prefree: 4 - Free: 6008 (6008) GC calls: 75 (BG: 76) - data segments : 74 (74) - node segments : 1 (1) Try to move 12813 blocks (BG: 12813) - data blocks : 12544 (12544) - node blocks : 269 (269) IPU: 0 blocks SSR: 12032 blocks in 77 segments LFS: 855 blocks in 2 segments Signed-off-by: Chao Yu <yuchao0@huawei.com> [Jaegeuk Kim: fix a bug along with pinfile in-mem segment & clean up] Signed-off-by: Jaegeuk Kim <jaegeuk@kernel.org> |

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
