Besides a potential race condition due to the multiple use of the list field, filesystem performance severely degrades over time: as we use up all non-bitmap free extents, the try-to-set-up-cluster dance is done at every metadata block allocation. For every block group, we fail to set up a cluster, and after failing on them all up to twice, we fall back to the much slower unclustered allocation. To make matters worse, before the unclustered allocation, we try to create new block groups until we reach the 1% threshold, which introduces additional bitmaps and thus block groups that we'll iterate over at each metadata block request. --- diff --git a/fs/btrfs/free-space-cache.c b/fs/btrfs/free-space-cache.c index 6e5b7e46369..ff179b1e742 100644 --- a/fs/btrfs/free-space-cache.c +++ b/fs/btrfs/free-space-cache.c @@ -1470,6 +1470,7 @@ static void add_new_bitmap(struct btrfs_free_space_ctl *ctl, { info->offset = offset_to_bitmap(ctl, offset); info->bytes = 0; + INIT_LIST_HEAD(&info->list); link_free_space(ctl, info); ctl->total_bitmaps++;
