From 92c4342fb72a6baf9ee9fcd079b46ed0286ebe33 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jin Xu Date: Thu, 15 Aug 2013 19:17:01 +0800 Subject: [PATCH] f2fs: avoid writing inode redundantly when creating a file In f2fs_write_inode, updating inode after f2fs_balance_fs is not a optimized way in the case that f2fs_gc is performed ahead. The inode page will be unnecessarily written out twice, one of which is in f2fs_gc->...->sync_node_pages and the other is in update_inode_page. Let's update the inode page in prior to f2fs_balance_fs to avoid this. To reproduce it, $ touch file (before this step, should make the device need f2fs_gc) $ sync (or wait the bdi to write dirty inode) Signed-off-by: Jin Xu Signed-off-by: Jaegeuk Kim --- fs/f2fs/inode.c | 7 ++++--- 1 file changed, 4 insertions(+), 3 deletions(-) diff --git a/fs/f2fs/inode.c b/fs/f2fs/inode.c index 9ab81e7472c5..7f8569bd8759 100644 --- a/fs/f2fs/inode.c +++ b/fs/f2fs/inode.c @@ -221,9 +221,6 @@ int f2fs_write_inode(struct inode *inode, struct writeback_control *wbc) if (!is_inode_flag_set(F2FS_I(inode), FI_DIRTY_INODE)) return 0; - if (wbc) - f2fs_balance_fs(sbi); - /* * We need to lock here to prevent from producing dirty node pages * during the urgent cleaning time when runing out of free sections. @@ -231,6 +228,10 @@ int f2fs_write_inode(struct inode *inode, struct writeback_control *wbc) ilock = mutex_lock_op(sbi); ret = update_inode_page(inode); mutex_unlock_op(sbi, ilock); + + if (wbc) + f2fs_balance_fs(sbi); + return ret; } -- 2.39.5
