This change adds infrastructure to allow for generic properties for
inodes. Properties are name/value pairs that can be associated with
inodes for different purposes. They are stored as xattrs with the
prefix "btrfs."
Properties can be inherited - this means when a directory inode has
inheritable properties set, these are added to new inodes created
under that directory. Further, subvolumes can also have properties
associated with them, and they can be inherited from their parent
subvolume. Naturally, directory properties have priority over subvolume
properties (in practice a subvolume property is just a regular
property associated with the root inode, objectid 256, of the
subvolume's fs tree).
This change also adds one specific property implementation, named
"compression", whose values can be "lzo" or "zlib" and it's an
inheritable property.
The corresponding changes to btrfs-progs were also implemented.
A patch with xfstests for this feature will follow once there's
agreement on this change/feature.
Further, the script at the bottom of this commit message was used to
do some benchmarks to measure any performance penalties of this feature.
Basically the tests correspond to:
Test 1 - create a filesystem and mount it with compress-force=lzo,
then sequentially create N files of 64Kb each, measure how long it took
to create the files, unmount the filesystem, mount the filesystem and
perform an 'ls -lha' against the test directory holding the N files, and
report the time the command took.
Test 2 - create a filesystem and don't use any compression option when
mounting it - instead set the compression property of the subvolume's
root to 'lzo'. Then create N files of 64Kb, and report the time it took.
The unmount the filesystem, mount it again and perform an 'ls -lha' like
in the former test. This means every single file ends up with a property
(xattr) associated to it.
Test 3 - same as test 2, but uses 4 properties - 3 are duplicates of the
compression property, have no real effect other than adding more work
when inheriting properties and taking more btree leaf space.
Test 4 - same as test 3 but with 10 properties per file.
Results (in seconds, and averages of 5 runs each), for different N
numbers of files follow.
* Without properties (test 1)
file creation time ls -lha time
10 000 files 3.49 0.76
100 000 files 47.19 8.37
1 000 000 files 518.51 107.06
* With 1 property (compression property set to lzo - test 2)
file creation time ls -lha time
10 000 files 3.63 0.93
100 000 files 48.56 9.74
1 000 000 files 537.72 125.11
* With 4 properties (test 3)
file creation time ls -lha time
10 000 files 3.94 1.20
100 000 files 52.14 11.48
1 000 000 files 572.70 142.13
* With 10 properties (test 4)
file creation time ls -lha time
10 000 files 4.61 1.35
100 000 files 58.86 13.83
1 000 000 files 656.01 177.61
The increased latencies with properties are essencialy because of:
*) When creating an inode, we now synchronously write 1 more item
(an xattr item) for each property inherited from the parent dir
(or subvolume). This could be done in an asynchronous way such
as we do for dir intex items (delayed-inode.c), which could help
reduce the file creation latency;
*) With properties, we now have larger fs trees. For this particular
test each xattr item uses 75 bytes of leaf space in the fs tree.
This could be less by using a new item for xattr items, instead of
the current btrfs_dir_item, since we could cut the 'location' and
'type' fields (saving 18 bytes) and maybe 'transid' too (saving a
total of 26 bytes per xattr item) from the btrfs_dir_item type.
Also tried batching the xattr insertions (ignoring proper hash
collision handling, since it didn't exist) when creating files that
inherit properties from their parent inode/subvolume, but the end
results were (surprisingly) essentially the same.
