Subject[PATCH 5.16 004/200] btrfs: defrag: fix wrong number of defragged sectors
Date
From: Qu Wenruo <wqu@suse.com>

commit 484167da77739a8d0e225008c48e697fd3f781ae upstream.

[BUG]
There are users using autodefrag mount option reporting obvious increase
in IO:

> If I compare the write average (in total, I don't have it per process)
> when taking idle periods on the same machine:
> Linux 5.16:
> without autodefrag: ~ 10KiB/s
> with autodefrag: between 1 and 2MiB/s.
>
> Linux 5.15:
> with autodefrag:~ 10KiB/s (around the same as without
> autodefrag on 5.16)

[CAUSE]
When autodefrag mount option is enabled, btrfs_defrag_file() will be
called with @max_sectors = BTRFS_DEFRAG_BATCH (1024) to limit how many
sectors we can defrag in one try.

And then use the number of sectors defragged to determine if we need to
re-defrag.

But commit b18c3ab2343d ("btrfs: defrag: introduce helper to defrag one
cluster") uses wrong unit to increase @sectors_defragged, which should
be in unit of sector, not byte.

This means, if we have defragged any sector, then @sectors_defragged
will be >= sectorsize (normally 4096), which is larger than
BTRFS_DEFRAG_BATCH.

This makes the @max_sectors check in defrag_one_cluster() to underflow,
rendering the whole @max_sectors check useless.

Thus causing way more IO for autodefrag mount options, as now there is
no limit on how many sectors can really be defragged.

[FIX]
Fix the problems by:

- Use sector as unit when increasing @sectors_defragged

- Include @sectors_defragged > @max_sectors case to break the loop

- Add extra comment on the return value of btrfs_defrag_file()
