bio size can grow up to 4GB when muli-page bvec is enabled.
but sometimes it would lead to inefficient behaviors.
in case of large chunk direct I/O, - 32MB chunk read in user space -
all pages for 32MB would be merged to a bio structure if the pages
physical addresses are contiguous. it makes some delay to submit
until merge complete. bio max size should be limited to a proper size.
When 32MB chunk read with direct I/O option is coming from userspace,
kernel behavior is below now in do_direct_IO() loop. it's timeline.
| bio merge for 32MB. total 8,192 pages are merged.
| total elapsed time is over 2ms.
|------------------ ... ----------------------->|
| 8,192 pages merged a bio.
| at this time, first bio submit is done.
| 1 bio is split to 32 read request and issue.
|--------------->
|--------------->
|--------------->
......
|--------------->
|--------------->|
total 19ms elapsed to complete 32MB read done from device. |
If bio max size is limited with 1MB, behavior is changed below.
| bio merge for 1MB. 256 pages are merged for each bio.
| total 32 bio will be made.
| total elapsed time is over 2ms. it's same.
| but, first bio submit timing is fast. about 100us.
|--->|--->|--->|---> ... -->|--->|--->|--->|--->|
| 256 pages merged a bio.
| at this time, first bio submit is done.
| and 1 read request is issued for 1 bio.
|--------------->
|--------------->
|--------------->
......
|--------------->
|--------------->|
total 17ms elapsed to complete 32MB read done from device. |
As a result, read request issue timing is faster if bio max size is limited.
Current kernel behavior with multipage bvec, super large bio can be created.
And it lead to delay first I/O request issue.

It's often inconvenient to use BIO_MAX_PAGES due to min() requiring the
sign to be the same. Introduce bio_max_segs() and change BIO_MAX_PAGES to
be unsigned to make it easier for the users.

The block layer spends quite a while in blkdev_direct_IO() to copy and
initialise bio's bvec. However, if we've already got a bvec in the input
iterator it might be reused in some cases, i.e. when new
ITER_BVEC_FLAG_FIXED flag is set. Simple tests show considerable
performance boost, and it also reduces memory footprint.

There is no good reason to reassign ->bi_bdev when remapping the
partition-relative block number to the device wide one, as all the
information required by the drivers comes from the gendisk anyway.
Keeping the original ->bi_bdev alive will allow to greatly simplify
the partition-away I/O accounting.

Pull btrfs updates from David Sterba:
"Highlights:
- speedup dead root detection during orphan cleanup, eg. when there
are many deleted subvolumes waiting to be cleaned, the trees are
now looked up in radix tree instead of a O(N^2) search
- snapshot creation with inherited qgroup will mark the qgroup
inconsistent, requires a rescan
- send will emit file capabilities after chown, this produces a
stream that does not need postprocessing to set the capabilities
again
- direct io ported to iomap infrastructure, cleaned up and simplified
code, notably removing last use of struct buffer_head in btrfs code
Core changes:
- factor out backreference iteration, to be used by ordinary
backreferences and relocation code
- improved global block reserve utilization
* better logic to serialize requests
* increased maximum available for unlink
* improved handling on large pages (64K)
- direct io cleanups and fixes
* simplify layering, where cloned bios were unnecessarily created
for some cases
* error handling fixes (submit, endio)
* remove repair worker thread, used to avoid deadlocks during
repair
- refactored block group reading code, preparatory work for new type
of block group storage that should improve mount time on large
filesystems
Cleanups:
- cleaned up (and slightly sped up) set/get helpers for metadata data
structure members
- root bit REF_COWS got renamed to SHAREABLE to reflect the that the
blocks of the tree get shared either among subvolumes or with the
relocation trees
Fixes:
- when subvolume deletion fails due to ENOSPC, the filesystem is not
turned read-only
- device scan deals with devices from other filesystems that changed
ownership due to overwrite (mkfs)
- fix a race between scrub and block group removal/allocation
- fix long standing bug of a runaway balance operation, printing the
same line to the syslog, caused by a stale status bit on a reloc
tree that prevented progress
- fix corrupt log due to concurrent fsync of inodes with shared
extents
- fix space underflow for NODATACOW and buffered writes when it for
some reason needs to fallback to COW mode"
