This is a note to let you know that I have just added a patch titled dm bufio: update last_accessed when relinking a buffer to the linux-3.16.y-queue branch of the 3.16.y-ckt extended stable tree which can be found at: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/git?p=ubuntu/linux.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/linux-3.16.y-queue This patch is scheduled to be released in version 3.16.7-ckt2. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to this tree, please reply to this email. For more information about the 3.16.y-ckt tree, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/Dev/ExtendedStable Thanks. -Luis ------ From fd5d12b9f6857f2f23c92985674a1416049cd4fe Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Joe Thornber <ejt@redhat.com> Date: Tue, 30 Sep 2014 09:32:46 +0100 Subject: dm bufio: update last_accessed when relinking a buffer commit eb76faf53b1ff7a77ce3f78cc98ad392ac70c2a0 upstream. The 'last_accessed' member of the dm_buffer structure was only set when the the buffer was created. This led to each buffer being discarded after dm_bufio_max_age time even if it was used recently. In practice this resulted in all thinp metadata being evicted soon after being read -- this is particularly problematic for metadata intensive workloads like multithreaded small random IO. 'last_accessed' is now updated each time the buffer is moved to the head of the LRU list, so the buffer is now properly discarded if it was not used in dm_bufio_max_age time.
