When discard is enabled, everytime a pinned extent is released back to
the block_group's free space cache, a discard is issued for the extent.
This is an overeager approach when it comes to discarding and helping
the SSD maintain enough free space to prevent severe garbage collection
situations.
This adds the beginning of async discard. Instead of issuing a discard
prior to returning it to the free space, it is just marked as untrimmed.
The block_group is then added to a LRU which then feeds into a workqueue
to issue discards at a much slower rate. Full discarding of unused block
groups is still done and will be addressed in a future patch of the
series.
For now, we don't persist the discard state of extents and bitmaps.
Therefore, our failure recovery mode will be to consider extents
untrimmed. This lets us handle failure and unmounting as one in the
same.
On a number of Facebook webservers, I collected data every minute
accounting the time we spent in btrfs_finish_extent_commit() (col. 1)
and in btrfs_commit_transaction() (col. 2). btrfs_finish_extent_commit()
is where we discard extents synchronously before returning them to the
free space cache.
discard=sync:
p99 total per minute p99 total per minute
Drive | extent_commit() (ms) | commit_trans() (ms)
---------------------------------------------------------------
Drive A | 434 | 1170
Drive B | 880 | 2330
Drive C | 2943 | 3920
Drive D | 4763 | 5701
discard=async:
p99 total per minute p99 total per minute
Drive | extent_commit() (ms) | commit_trans() (ms)
--------------------------------------------------------------
Drive A | 134 | 956
Drive B | 64 | 1972
Drive C | 59 | 1032
Drive D | 62 | 1200
While it's not great that the stats are cumulative over 1m, all of these
servers are running the same workload and and the delta between the two
are substantial. We are spending significantly less time in
btrfs_finish_extent_commit() which is responsible for discarding.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
