From fb5566da9181d33ecdd9892e44f90320e7d4cc9f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jaegeuk Kim Date: Wed, 8 Jan 2014 10:09:51 +0900 Subject: f2fs: improve write performance under frequent fsync calls When considering a bunch of data writes with very frequent fsync calls, we are able to think the following performance regression. N: Node IO, D: Data IO, IO scheduler: cfq Issue pending IOs D1 D2 D3 D4 D1 D2 D3 D4 N1 D2 D3 D4 N1 N2 N1 D3 D4 N2 D1 --> N1 can be selected by cfq becase of the same priority of N and D. Then D3 and D4 would be delayed, resuling in performance degradation. So, when processing the fsync call, it'd better give higher priority to data IOs than node IOs by assigning WRITE and WRITE_SYNC respectively. This patch improves the random wirte performance with frequent fsync calls by up to 10%.
