When doing a NOWAIT direct IO write, if we can NOCOW then it means we can proceed with the non-blocking, NOWAIT path. However reserving the metadata space and qgroup meta space can often result in blocking - flushing delalloc, wait for ordered extents to complete, trigger transaction commits, etc, going against the semantics of a NOWAIT write. So make the NOWAIT write path to try to reserve all the metadata it needs without resulting in a blocking behaviour - if we get -ENOSPC or -EDQUOT then return -EAGAIN to make the caller fallback to a blocking direct IO write. This is part of a patchset comprised of the following patches: btrfs: avoid blocking on page locks with nowait dio on compressed range btrfs: avoid blocking nowait dio when locking file range btrfs: avoid double nocow check when doing nowait dio writes btrfs: stop allocating a path when checking if cross reference exists btrfs: free path at can_nocow_extent() before checking for checksum items btrfs: release path earlier at can_nocow_extent() btrfs: avoid blocking when allocating context for nowait dio read/write btrfs: avoid blocking on space revervation when doing nowait dio writes The following test was run before and after applying this patchset: $ cat io-uring-nodatacow-test.sh #!/bin/bash DEV=/dev/sdc MNT=/mnt/sdc MOUNT_OPTIONS="-o ssd -o nodatacow" MKFS_OPTIONS="-R free-space-tree -O no-holes" NUM_JOBS=4 FILE_SIZE=8G RUN_TIME=300 cat <<EOF > /tmp/fio-job.ini [io_uring_rw] rw=randrw fsync=0 fallocate=posix group_reporting=1 direct=1 ioengine=io_uring iodepth=64 bssplit=4k/20:8k/20:16k/20:32k/10:64k/10:128k/5:256k/5:512k/5:1m/5 filesize=$FILE_SIZE runtime=$RUN_TIME time_based filename=foobar directory=$MNT numjobs=$NUM_JOBS thread EOF echo performance | \ tee /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu*/cpufreq/scaling_governor umount $MNT &> /dev/null mkfs.btrfs -f $MKFS_OPTIONS $DEV &> /dev/null mount $MOUNT_OPTIONS $DEV $MNT fio /tmp/fio-job.ini umount $MNT The test was run a 12 cores box with 64G of ram, using a non-debug kernel config (Debian's default config) and a spinning disk. Result before the patchset: READ: bw=407MiB/s (427MB/s), 407MiB/s-407MiB/s (427MB/s-427MB/s), io=119GiB (128GB), run=300175-300175msec WRITE: bw=407MiB/s (427MB/s), 407MiB/s-407MiB/s (427MB/s-427MB/s), io=119GiB (128GB), run=300175-300175msec Result after the patchset: READ: bw=436MiB/s (457MB/s), 436MiB/s-436MiB/s (457MB/s-457MB/s), io=128GiB (137GB), run=300044-300044msec WRITE: bw=435MiB/s (456MB/s), 435MiB/s-435MiB/s (456MB/s-456MB/s), io=128GiB (137GB), run=300044-300044msec That's about +7.2% throughput for reads and +6.9% for writes.
