find_free_extent is a complicated function. It consists (at least) of: - a hint that jumps into the middle of a for loop macro - a middle loop trying every raid level - an outer loop ascending through ffe loop levels - complicated logic for skipping some of those ffe loop levels - multiple underlying in-bg allocators (zoned, cluster, no cluster) Which is all to say that more tracing is helpful for debugging its behavior. Add two new tracepoints: at the entrance to the block_groups loop (hit for every raid level and every ffe_ctl loop) and at the point we seriously consider a block_group for allocation. This way we can see the whole path through the algorithm, including hints, multiple loops, etc. Reviewed-by: Johannes Thumshirn <johannes.thumshirn@wdc.com> Signed-off-by: Boris Burkov <boris@bur.io> Reviewed-by: David Sterba <dsterba@suse.com> Signed-off-by: David Sterba <dsterba@suse.com>
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.
