Subject: [PATCH v4 11/11] ext4: limit the maximum folio order
Date: Mon, 7 Jul 2025 22:08:14 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250707140814.542883-12-yi.zhang@huaweicloud.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250707140814.542883-1-yi.zhang@huaweicloud.com>
From: Zhang Yi <yi.zhang@huawei.com>
In environments with a page size of 64KB, the maximum size of a folio
can reach up to 128MB. Consequently, during the write-back of folios,
the 'rsv_blocks' will be overestimated to 1,577, which can make
pressure on the journal space where the journal is small. This can
easily exceed the limit of a single transaction. Besides, an excessively
large folio is meaningless and will instead increase the overhead of
traversing the bhs within the folio. Therefore, limit the maximum order
of a folio to 2048 filesystem blocks.
