[PATCH v7 5/8] xfs: Support FS_XFLAG_ATOMICWRITES
Posted by John Garry 1 month, 3 weeks ago
Add initial support for new flag FS_XFLAG_ATOMICWRITES.

This flag is a file attribute that mirrors an ondisk inode flag.  Actual
support for untorn file writes (for now) depends on both the iflag and the
underlying storage devices, which we can only really check at statx and
pwritev2() time.  This is the same story as FS_XFLAG_DAX, which signals to
the fs that we should try to enable the fsdax IO path on the file (instead
of the regular page cache), but applications have to query STAT_ATTR_DAX to
find out if they really got that IO path.

Current kernel support for atomic writes is based on HW support (for atomic
writes). Since for regular files XFS has no way to specify extent alignment
or granularity, atomic write size is limited to the FS block size.

I'm still confused why this flag is needed for the current version
of this patch set.  We should always be able to support atomic writes
<= block size if support by the block device.

Sure, that is true (about being able to atomically write 1x FS block if 
the bdev support it).

But if we are going to add forcealign or similar later, then it would 
make sense (to me) to have FS_XFLAG_ATOMICWRITES (and its other flags) 
from the beginning. I mean, for example, if FS_XFLAG_FORCEALIGN were 
enabled and we want atomic writes, setting FS_XFLAG_ATOMICWRITES would 
be rejected if AG count is not aligned with extsize, or extsize is not a 
power-of-2, or extsize exceeds bdev limits. So FS_XFLAG_ATOMICWRITES 
could have some value there.

As such, it makes sense to have a consistent user experience and require 
FS_XFLAG_ATOMICWRITES from the beginning.

Cheers,
John

Well, even with forcealign we're not going to lose support for atomic
writes <= block size, are we?

forcealign would not be required for atomic writes <= FS block size.

How about this modified approach:

a. Drop FS_XFLAG_ATOMICWRITES support from this series, and so we can 
always atomic write 1x FS block (if the bdev supports it)

b. If we agree to support forcealign afterwards, then we can introduce 
2x new flags:
	- FS_XFLAG_FORCEALIGN - as before
	- FS_XFLAG_BIG_ATOMICWRITES - this depends on  FS_XFLAG_FORCEALIGN 
being enabled per inode, and allows us to atomically write > 1 FS block

c. Later support writing < 1 FS block
	- this would not depend on forcealign
	- would require a real user, and I don't know one yet

better?

Sounds fine to /me/, but that's just my opinion. :)
