Subject: [RFC v5 6/7] ext4: fast commit: add lock_updates tracepoint
Date: Tue, 17 Mar 2026 16:46:21 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260317084624.457185-7-me@linux.beauty> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260317084624.457185-1-me@linux.beauty>

Commit-time fast commit snapshots run under jbd2_journal_lock_updates(),
so it is useful to quantify the time spent with updates locked and to
understand why snapshotting can fail.

Add a new tracepoint, ext4_fc_lock_updates, reporting the time spent in
the updates-locked window along with the number of snapshotted inodes
and ranges. Record the first snapshot failure reason in a stable snap_err
field for tooling.
