Ext4 now supports xattr values that are up to 64k in size (vfs limit).
Large xattr values are stored in external inodes each one holding a
single value. Once written the data blocks of these inodes are immutable.
The real world use cases are expected to have a lot of value duplication
such as inherited acls etc. To reduce data duplication on disk, this patch
implements a deduplicator that allows sharing of xattr inodes.
The deduplication is based on an in-memory hash lookup that is a best
effort sharing scheme. When a xattr inode is read from disk (i.e.
getxattr() call), its crc32c hash is added to a hash table. Before
creating a new xattr inode for a value being set, the hash table is
checked to see if an existing inode holds an identical value. If such an
inode is found, the ref count on that inode is incremented. On value
removal the ref count is decremented and if it reaches zero the inode is
deleted.
The quota charging for such inodes is manually managed. Every reference
holder is charged the full size as if there was no sharing happening.
This is consistent with how xattr blocks are also charged.

rare case where an shared xattr block can get freed when two thread

Make names more generic so that mbcache usage is not limited to
block sharing. In a subsequent patch in the series
("ext4: xattr inode deduplication"), we start using the mbcache code
for sharing xattr inodes. With that patch, old mb_cache_entry.e_block
field could be holding either a block number or an inode number.

mbcache used several different types to represent the number of entries
in the cache. For consistency within mbcache and with the shrinker API,
always use unsigned long.
This does not change behavior for current mbcache users (ext2 and ext4)

When mbcache is built as a module, any modules that use it (ext2 and/or
ext4) will depend on its symbols directly, incrementing its reference
count. Therefore, there is no need to do module_get/module_put.
Also note that since the module_get/module_put were in the mbcache
module itself, executing those lines of code was already dependent on
another reference to the mbcache module being held.

mbcache entries have an 'e_referenced' bit which users can set with
mb_cache_entry_touch() to indicate that an entry should be given another
pass through the LRU list before the shrinker can delete it. However,
mb_cache_shrink() actually would, when seeing an e_referenced entry at
the front of the list (the least-recently used end), place it right at
the front of the list again. The next iteration would then remove the
entry from the list and delete it. Consequently, e_referenced had
essentially no effect, so ext2/ext4 xattr blocks would sometimes not be
reused as often as expected.
Fix this by making the shrinker move e_referenced entries to the back of
the list rather than the front.

To reduce amount of damage caused by single bad block, we limit number
of inodes sharing an xattr block to 1024. Thus there can be more xattr
blocks with the same contents when there are lots of files with the same
extended attributes. These xattr blocks naturally result in hash
collisions and can form long hash chains and we unnecessarily check each
such block only to find out we cannot use it because it is already
shared by too many inodes.
Add a reusable flag to cache entries which is cleared when a cache entry
has reached its maximum refcount. Cache entries which are not marked
reusable are skipped by mb_cache_entry_find_{first,next}. This
significantly speeds up mbcache when there are many same xattr blocks.
For example for xattr-bench with 5 values and each process handling
20000 files, the run for 64 processes is 25x faster with this patch.
Even for 8 processes the speedup is almost 3x. We have also verified
that for situations where there is only one xattr block of each kind,
the patch doesn't have a measurable cost.

root so that we don't need to walk the tree every time the shrinker needs
to count the number of objects in the tree (i.e. all the time under

The sysctl knob sysctl_vfs_cache_pressure is used to determine which
percentage of the shrinkable objects in our cache we should actively try
to shrink.
It works great in situations in which we have many objects (at least more
than 100), because the aproximation errors will be negligible. But if
this is not the case, specially when total_objects < 100, we may end up
concluding that we have no objects at all (total / 100 = 0, if total <
100).
This is certainly not the biggest killer in the world, but may matter in
very low kernel memory situations.

If a slab cache is marked SLAB_MEM_SPREAD, then anytime that a task that's

The choice of which slab caches to so mark was quite simple. I marked
those already marked SLAB_RECLAIM_ACCOUNT, except for fs/xfs, dentry_cache,
inode_cache, and buffer_head, which were marked in a previous patch. Even
though SLAB_RECLAIM_ACCOUNT is for a different purpose, it marks the same
potentially large file system i/o related slab caches as we need for memory
spreading.
Given that the rule now becomes "wherever you would have used a
SLAB_RECLAIM_ACCOUNT slab cache flag before (usually the inode cache), use
the SLAB_MEM_SPREAD flag too", this should be easy enough to maintain.
Future file system writers will just copy one of the existing file system
slab cache setups and tend to get it right without thinking.

XFS used __nocast both for gfp_t and for flags used by XFS allocator.
The latter left with unsigned int __nocast; we might want to add a
different type for those but for now let's leave them alone. That,
BTW, is a case when __nocast use had been actively confusing - it had
been used in the same code for two different and similar types, with
no way to catch misuses. Switch of gfp_t to bitwise had caught that
