Subject: Re: fsync stuck at jbd2_log_wait_commit on NVMe devices

Hi Roy,

My suggestion is to collect information from the jbd2_run_stats and
jbd2_checkpoint_stats tracepoints.

cd /sys/kernel/debug/tracing
echo 1 > events/jbd2/jbd2_run_stats/enable
echo 1 > events/jbd2/jbd2_checkpoint_stats/enable
cat trace_pipe > /tmp/traces &
tail -f /tmp/traces

The jbd2_handle_stats tracepoint can be informative, but it's also far
more voluminous.

That will give us a hint where things are getting bottlenecked.

What sort of workload is your application doing?  Is it just primarily
doing random writes into a preallocated file?  Is it creating or
deleting files?  Extending or truncating files?   etc.
