2 WHAT IS Flash-Friendly File System (F2FS)?
3 ================================================================================
5 NAND flash memory-based storage devices, such as SSD, eMMC, and SD cards, have
6 been equipped on a variety systems ranging from mobile to server systems. Since
7 they are known to have different characteristics from the conventional rotating
8 disks, a file system, an upper layer to the storage device, should adapt to the
9 changes from the sketch in the design level.
11 F2FS is a file system exploiting NAND flash memory-based storage devices, which
12 is based on Log-structured File System (LFS). The design has been focused on
13 addressing the fundamental issues in LFS, which are snowball effect of wandering
14 tree and high cleaning overhead.
16 Since a NAND flash memory-based storage device shows different characteristic
17 according to its internal geometry or flash memory management scheme, namely FTL,
18 F2FS and its tools support various parameters not only for configuring on-disk
19 layout, but also for selecting allocation and cleaning algorithms.
21 The following git tree provides the file system formatting tool (mkfs.f2fs),
22 a consistency checking tool (fsck.f2fs), and a debugging tool (dump.f2fs).

29 BACKGROUND AND DESIGN ISSUES
30 ================================================================================
32 Log-structured File System (LFS)
33 --------------------------------
34 "A log-structured file system writes all modifications to disk sequentially in
35 a log-like structure, thereby speeding up both file writing and crash recovery.
36 The log is the only structure on disk; it contains indexing information so that
37 files can be read back from the log efficiently. In order to maintain large free
38 areas on disk for fast writing, we divide the log into segments and use a
39 segment cleaner to compress the live information from heavily fragmented
40 segments." from Rosenblum, M. and Ousterhout, J. K., 1992, "The design and
41 implementation of a log-structured file system", ACM Trans. Computer Systems
44 Wandering Tree Problem
45 ----------------------
46 In LFS, when a file data is updated and written to the end of log, its direct
47 pointer block is updated due to the changed location. Then the indirect pointer
48 block is also updated due to the direct pointer block update. In this manner,
49 the upper index structures such as inode, inode map, and checkpoint block are
50 also updated recursively. This problem is called as wandering tree problem [1],
51 and in order to enhance the performance, it should eliminate or relax the update
52 propagation as much as possible.
54 [1] Bityutskiy, A. 2005. JFFS3 design issues. http://www.linux-mtd.infradead.org/
58 Since LFS is based on out-of-place writes, it produces so many obsolete blocks
59 scattered across the whole storage. In order to serve new empty log space, it
60 needs to reclaim these obsolete blocks seamlessly to users. This job is called
61 as a cleaning process.
63 The process consists of three operations as follows.
64 1. A victim segment is selected through referencing segment usage table.
65 2. It loads parent index structures of all the data in the victim identified by
66 segment summary blocks.
67 3. It checks the cross-reference between the data and its parent index structure.
68 4. It moves valid data selectively.
70 This cleaning job may cause unexpected long delays, so the most important goal
71 is to hide the latencies to users. And also definitely, it should reduce the
72 amount of valid data to be moved, and move them quickly as well.
74 ================================================================================
76 ================================================================================
80 - Enlarge the random write area for better performance, but provide the high
82 - Align FS data structures to the operational units in FTL as best efforts
84 Wandering Tree Problem
85 ----------------------
86 - Use a term, “node”, that represents inodes as well as various pointer blocks
87 - Introduce Node Address Table (NAT) containing the locations of all the “node”
88 blocks; this will cut off the update propagation.
92 - Support a background cleaning process
93 - Support greedy and cost-benefit algorithms for victim selection policies
94 - Support multi-head logs for static/dynamic hot and cold data separation
95 - Introduce adaptive logging for efficient block allocation
97 ================================================================================
99 ================================================================================
101 background_gc=%s Turn on/off cleaning operations, namely garbage
102 collection, triggered in background when I/O subsystem is
103 idle. If background_gc=on, it will turn on the garbage
104 collection and if background_gc=off, garbage collection
105 will be turned off. If background_gc=sync, it will turn
106 on synchronous garbage collection running in background.
107 Default value for this option is on. So garbage
108 collection is on by default.
109 disable_roll_forward Disable the roll-forward recovery routine
110 norecovery Disable the roll-forward recovery routine, mounted read-
111 only (i.e., -o ro,disable_roll_forward)
112 discard/nodiscard Enable/disable real-time discard in f2fs, if discard is
113 enabled, f2fs will issue discard/TRIM commands when a
115 no_heap Disable heap-style segment allocation which finds free
116 segments for data from the beginning of main area, while
117 for node from the end of main area.
118 nouser_xattr Disable Extended User Attributes. Note: xattr is enabled
119 by default if CONFIG_F2FS_FS_XATTR is selected.
120 noacl Disable POSIX Access Control List. Note: acl is enabled
121 by default if CONFIG_F2FS_FS_POSIX_ACL is selected.
122 active_logs=%u Support configuring the number of active logs. In the
123 current design, f2fs supports only 2, 4, and 6 logs.
125 disable_ext_identify Disable the extension list configured by mkfs, so f2fs
126 does not aware of cold files such as media files.
127 inline_xattr Enable the inline xattrs feature.
128 noinline_xattr Disable the inline xattrs feature.
129 inline_xattr_size=%u Support configuring inline xattr size, it depends on
130 flexible inline xattr feature.
131 inline_data Enable the inline data feature: New created small(<~3.4k)
132 files can be written into inode block.
133 inline_dentry Enable the inline dir feature: data in new created
134 directory entries can be written into inode block. The
135 space of inode block which is used to store inline
136 dentries is limited to ~3.4k.
137 noinline_dentry Disable the inline dentry feature.
138 flush_merge Merge concurrent cache_flush commands as much as possible
139 to eliminate redundant command issues. If the underlying
140 device handles the cache_flush command relatively slowly,
141 recommend to enable this option.
142 nobarrier This option can be used if underlying storage guarantees
143 its cached data should be written to the novolatile area.
144 If this option is set, no cache_flush commands are issued
145 but f2fs still guarantees the write ordering of all the
147 fastboot This option is used when a system wants to reduce mount
148 time as much as possible, even though normal performance
150 extent_cache Enable an extent cache based on rb-tree, it can cache
151 as many as extent which map between contiguous logical
152 address and physical address per inode, resulting in
153 increasing the cache hit ratio. Set by default.
154 noextent_cache Disable an extent cache based on rb-tree explicitly, see
155 the above extent_cache mount option.
156 noinline_data Disable the inline data feature, inline data feature is
158 data_flush Enable data flushing before checkpoint in order to
159 persist data of regular and symlink.
160 fault_injection=%d Enable fault injection in all supported types with
161 specified injection rate.
162 fault_type=%d Support configuring fault injection type, should be
163 enabled with fault_injection option, fault type value
164 is shown below, it supports single or combined type.
166 FAULT_KMALLOC 0x000000001

179 FAULT_DISCARD 0x000002000
180 FAULT_WRITE_IO 0x000004000
181 mode=%s Control block allocation mode which supports "adaptive"
182 and "lfs". In "lfs" mode, there should be no random
183 writes towards main area.
184 io_bits=%u Set the bit size of write IO requests. It should be set
186 usrquota Enable plain user disk quota accounting.
187 grpquota Enable plain group disk quota accounting.
188 prjquota Enable plain project quota accounting.
189 usrjquota=<file> Appoint specified file and type during mount, so that quota
190 grpjquota=<file> information can be properly updated during recovery flow,
191 prjjquota=<file> <quota file>: must be in root directory;
192 jqfmt=<quota type> <quota type>: [vfsold,vfsv0,vfsv1].
193 offusrjquota Turn off user journelled quota.
194 offgrpjquota Turn off group journelled quota.
195 offprjjquota Turn off project journelled quota.
196 quota Enable plain user disk quota accounting.
197 noquota Disable all plain disk quota option.
198 whint_mode=%s Control which write hints are passed down to block
199 layer. This supports "off", "user-based", and
200 "fs-based". In "off" mode (default), f2fs does not pass
201 down hints. In "user-based" mode, f2fs tries to pass
202 down hints given by users. And in "fs-based" mode, f2fs
203 passes down hints with its policy.
204 alloc_mode=%s Adjust block allocation policy, which supports "reuse"
206 fsync_mode=%s Control the policy of fsync. Currently supports "posix",
207 "strict", and "nobarrier". In "posix" mode, which is
208 default, fsync will follow POSIX semantics and does a
209 light operation to improve the filesystem performance.
210 In "strict" mode, fsync will be heavy and behaves in line
211 with xfs, ext4 and btrfs, where xfstest generic/342 will
212 pass, but the performance will regress. "nobarrier" is
213 based on "posix", but doesn't issue flush command for
214 non-atomic files likewise "nobarrier" mount option.
215 test_dummy_encryption Enable dummy encryption, which provides a fake fscrypt
216 context. The fake fscrypt context is used by xfstests.
217 checkpoint=%s Set to "disable" to turn off checkpointing. Set to "enable"
218 to reenable checkpointing. Is enabled by default. While
219 disabled, any unmounting or unexpected shutdowns will cause
220 the filesystem contents to appear as they did when the
221 filesystem was mounted with that option.
223 ================================================================================
225 ================================================================================
227 /sys/kernel/debug/f2fs/ contains information about all the partitions mounted as
228 f2fs. Each file shows the whole f2fs information.
230 /sys/kernel/debug/f2fs/status includes:
231 - major file system information managed by f2fs currently
232 - average SIT information about whole segments
233 - current memory footprint consumed by f2fs.
235 ================================================================================
237 ================================================================================
239 Information about mounted f2fs file systems can be found in
240 /sys/fs/f2fs. Each mounted filesystem will have a directory in
241 /sys/fs/f2fs based on its device name (i.e., /sys/fs/f2fs/sda).
242 The files in each per-device directory are shown in table below.
244 Files in /sys/fs/f2fs/<devname>
245 (see also Documentation/ABI/testing/sysfs-fs-f2fs)
246 ..............................................................................
249 gc_max_sleep_time This tuning parameter controls the maximum sleep
250 time for the garbage collection thread. Time is
253 gc_min_sleep_time This tuning parameter controls the minimum sleep
254 time for the garbage collection thread. Time is
257 gc_no_gc_sleep_time This tuning parameter controls the default sleep
258 time for the garbage collection thread. Time is
261 gc_idle This parameter controls the selection of victim
262 policy for garbage collection. Setting gc_idle = 0
263 (default) will disable this option. Setting
264 gc_idle = 1 will select the Cost Benefit approach
265 & setting gc_idle = 2 will select the greedy approach.
267 gc_urgent This parameter controls triggering background GCs
268 urgently or not. Setting gc_urgent = 0 [default]
269 makes back to default behavior, while if it is set
270 to 1, background thread starts to do GC by given
271 gc_urgent_sleep_time interval.
273 gc_urgent_sleep_time This parameter controls sleep time for gc_urgent.
274 500 ms is set by default. See above gc_urgent.
276 reclaim_segments This parameter controls the number of prefree
277 segments to be reclaimed. If the number of prefree
278 segments is larger than the number of segments
279 in the proportion to the percentage over total
280 volume size, f2fs tries to conduct checkpoint to
281 reclaim the prefree segments to free segments.
282 By default, 5% over total # of segments.
284 max_small_discards This parameter controls the number of discard
285 commands that consist small blocks less than 2MB.
286 The candidates to be discarded are cached until
287 checkpoint is triggered, and issued during the
288 checkpoint. By default, it is disabled with 0.
290 trim_sections This parameter controls the number of sections
291 to be trimmed out in batch mode when FITRIM
292 conducts. 32 sections is set by default.
294 ipu_policy This parameter controls the policy of in-place
295 updates in f2fs. There are five policies:
296 0x01: F2FS_IPU_FORCE, 0x02: F2FS_IPU_SSR,
297 0x04: F2FS_IPU_UTIL, 0x08: F2FS_IPU_SSR_UTIL,
298 0x10: F2FS_IPU_FSYNC.
300 min_ipu_util This parameter controls the threshold to trigger
301 in-place-updates. The number indicates percentage
302 of the filesystem utilization, and used by
303 F2FS_IPU_UTIL and F2FS_IPU_SSR_UTIL policies.
305 min_fsync_blocks This parameter controls the threshold to trigger
306 in-place-updates when F2FS_IPU_FSYNC mode is set.
307 The number indicates the number of dirty pages
308 when fsync needs to flush on its call path. If
309 the number is less than this value, it triggers
312 max_victim_search This parameter controls the number of trials to
313 find a victim segment when conducting SSR and
314 cleaning operations. The default value is 4096
315 which covers 8GB block address range.
317 dir_level This parameter controls the directory level to
318 support large directory. If a directory has a
319 number of files, it can reduce the file lookup
320 latency by increasing this dir_level value.
321 Otherwise, it needs to decrease this value to
322 reduce the space overhead. The default value is 0.
324 ram_thresh This parameter controls the memory footprint used
325 by free nids and cached nat entries. By default,
326 10 is set, which indicates 10 MB / 1 GB RAM.

332 1. Download userland tools and compile them.
334 2. Skip, if f2fs was compiled statically inside kernel.
335 Otherwise, insert the f2fs.ko module.
338 3. Create a directory trying to mount
341 4. Format the block device, and then mount as f2fs
342 # mkfs.f2fs -l label /dev/block_device
343 # mount -t f2fs /dev/block_device /mnt/f2fs
347 The mkfs.f2fs is for the use of formatting a partition as the f2fs filesystem,
348 which builds a basic on-disk layout.
350 The options consist of:
351 -l [label] : Give a volume label, up to 512 unicode name.
352 -a [0 or 1] : Split start location of each area for heap-based allocation.
353 1 is set by default, which performs this.
354 -o [int] : Set overprovision ratio in percent over volume size.
356 -s [int] : Set the number of segments per section.
358 -z [int] : Set the number of sections per zone.
360 -e [str] : Set basic extension list. e.g. "mp3,gif,mov"
361 -t [0 or 1] : Disable discard command or not.
362 1 is set by default, which conducts discard.
366 The fsck.f2fs is a tool to check the consistency of an f2fs-formatted
367 partition, which examines whether the filesystem metadata and user-made data
368 are cross-referenced correctly or not.
369 Note that, initial version of the tool does not fix any inconsistency.
371 The options consist of:
372 -d debug level [default:0]
376 The dump.f2fs shows the information of specific inode and dumps SSA and SIT to
377 file. Each file is dump_ssa and dump_sit.
379 The dump.f2fs is used to debug on-disk data structures of the f2fs filesystem.
380 It shows on-disk inode information recognized by a given inode number, and is
381 able to dump all the SSA and SIT entries into predefined files, ./dump_ssa and
382 ./dump_sit respectively.
384 The options consist of:
385 -d debug level [default:0]
387 -s [SIT dump segno from #1~#2 (decimal), for all 0~-1]
388 -a [SSA dump segno from #1~#2 (decimal), for all 0~-1]
391 # dump.f2fs -i [ino] /dev/sdx
392 # dump.f2fs -s 0~-1 /dev/sdx (SIT dump)
393 # dump.f2fs -a 0~-1 /dev/sdx (SSA dump)

397 ================================================================================
402 F2FS divides the whole volume into a number of segments, each of which is fixed
403 to 2MB in size. A section is composed of consecutive segments, and a zone
404 consists of a set of sections. By default, section and zone sizes are set to one
405 segment size identically, but users can easily modify the sizes by mkfs.
407 F2FS splits the entire volume into six areas, and all the areas except superblock
408 consists of multiple segments as described below.

430 : It is located at the beginning of the partition, and there exist two copies
431 to avoid file system crash. It contains basic partition information and some
432 default parameters of f2fs.
435 : It contains file system information, bitmaps for valid NAT/SIT sets, orphan
436 inode lists, and summary entries of current active segments.
438 - Segment Information Table (SIT)
439 : It contains segment information such as valid block count and bitmap for the
440 validity of all the blocks.
442 - Node Address Table (NAT)
443 : It is composed of a block address table for all the node blocks stored in
446 - Segment Summary Area (SSA)
447 : It contains summary entries which contains the owner information of all the
448 data and node blocks stored in Main area.
451 : It contains file and directory data including their indices.
453 In order to avoid misalignment between file system and flash-based storage, F2FS
454 aligns the start block address of CP with the segment size. Also, it aligns the
455 start block address of Main area with the zone size by reserving some segments
458 Reference the following survey for additional technical details.
459 https://wiki.linaro.org/WorkingGroups/Kernel/Projects/FlashCardSurvey
461 File System Metadata Structure
462 ------------------------------
464 F2FS adopts the checkpointing scheme to maintain file system consistency. At
465 mount time, F2FS first tries to find the last valid checkpoint data by scanning
466 CP area. In order to reduce the scanning time, F2FS uses only two copies of CP.
467 One of them always indicates the last valid data, which is called as shadow copy
468 mechanism. In addition to CP, NAT and SIT also adopt the shadow copy mechanism.
470 For file system consistency, each CP points to which NAT and SIT copies are
471 valid, as shown as below.
473 +--------+----------+---------+
475 +--------+----------+---------+
479 +-------+-------+--------+--------+--------+--------+
480 | CP #0 | CP #1 | SIT #0 | SIT #1 | NAT #0 | NAT #1 |
481 +-------+-------+--------+--------+--------+--------+
484 `----------------------------------------'
489 The key data structure to manage the data locations is a "node". Similar to
490 traditional file structures, F2FS has three types of node: inode, direct node,
491 indirect node. F2FS assigns 4KB to an inode block which contains 923 data block
492 indices, two direct node pointers, two indirect node pointers, and one double
493 indirect node pointer as described below. One direct node block contains 1018
494 data blocks, and one indirect node block contains also 1018 node blocks. Thus,
495 one inode block (i.e., a file) covers:
497 4KB * (923 + 2 * 1018 + 2 * 1018 * 1018 + 1018 * 1018 * 1018) := 3.94TB.
504 | `- direct node (1018)
506 `- double indirect node (1)
507 `- indirect node (1018)
508 `- direct node (1018)
511 Note that, all the node blocks are mapped by NAT which means the location of
512 each node is translated by the NAT table. In the consideration of the wandering
513 tree problem, F2FS is able to cut off the propagation of node updates caused by
519 A directory entry occupies 11 bytes, which consists of the following attributes.
521 - hash hash value of the file name
523 - len the length of file name
524 - type file type such as directory, symlink, etc
526 A dentry block consists of 214 dentry slots and file names. Therein a bitmap is
527 used to represent whether each dentry is valid or not. A dentry block occupies
528 4KB with the following composition.
530 Dentry Block(4 K) = bitmap (27 bytes) + reserved (3 bytes) +
531 dentries(11 * 214 bytes) + file name (8 * 214 bytes)

551 F2FS implements multi-level hash tables for directory structure. Each level has
552 a hash table with dedicated number of hash buckets as shown below. Note that
553 "A(2B)" means a bucket includes 2 data blocks.
555 ----------------------
558 N : MAX_DIR_HASH_DEPTH
559 ----------------------
563 level #1 | A(2B) - A(2B)
565 level #2 | A(2B) - A(2B) - A(2B) - A(2B)
567 level #N/2 | A(2B) - A(2B) - A(2B) - A(2B) - A(2B) - ... - A(2B)
569 level #N | A(4B) - A(4B) - A(4B) - A(4B) - A(4B) - ... - A(4B)
571 The number of blocks and buckets are determined by,
573 ,- 2, if n < MAX_DIR_HASH_DEPTH / 2,
574 # of blocks in level #n = |
577 ,- 2^(n + dir_level),
578 | if n + dir_level < MAX_DIR_HASH_DEPTH / 2,
579 # of buckets in level #n = |
580 `- 2^((MAX_DIR_HASH_DEPTH / 2) - 1),
583 When F2FS finds a file name in a directory, at first a hash value of the file
584 name is calculated. Then, F2FS scans the hash table in level #0 to find the
585 dentry consisting of the file name and its inode number. If not found, F2FS
586 scans the next hash table in level #1. In this way, F2FS scans hash tables in
587 each levels incrementally from 1 to N. In each levels F2FS needs to scan only
588 one bucket determined by the following equation, which shows O(log(# of files))
591 bucket number to scan in level #n = (hash value) % (# of buckets in level #n)
593 In the case of file creation, F2FS finds empty consecutive slots that cover the
594 file name. F2FS searches the empty slots in the hash tables of whole levels from
595 1 to N in the same way as the lookup operation.
597 The following figure shows an example of two cases holding children.
598 --------------> Dir <--------------
602 child - child [hole] - child
604 child - child - child [hole] - [hole] - child
607 Number of children = 6, Number of children = 3,
608 File size = 7 File size = 7
610 Default Block Allocation
611 ------------------------
613 At runtime, F2FS manages six active logs inside "Main" area: Hot/Warm/Cold node
614 and Hot/Warm/Cold data.
616 - Hot node contains direct node blocks of directories.
617 - Warm node contains direct node blocks except hot node blocks.

623 LFS has two schemes for free space management: threaded log and copy-and-compac-
624 tion. The copy-and-compaction scheme which is known as cleaning, is well-suited
625 for devices showing very good sequential write performance, since free segments
626 are served all the time for writing new data. However, it suffers from cleaning
627 overhead under high utilization. Contrarily, the threaded log scheme suffers
628 from random writes, but no cleaning process is needed. F2FS adopts a hybrid
629 scheme where the copy-and-compaction scheme is adopted by default, but the
630 policy is dynamically changed to the threaded log scheme according to the file
633 In order to align F2FS with underlying flash-based storage, F2FS allocates a
634 segment in a unit of section. F2FS expects that the section size would be the
635 same as the unit size of garbage collection in FTL. Furthermore, with respect
636 to the mapping granularity in FTL, F2FS allocates each section of the active
637 logs from different zones as much as possible, since FTL can write the data in
638 the active logs into one allocation unit according to its mapping granularity.
643 F2FS does cleaning both on demand and in the background. On-demand cleaning is
644 triggered when there are not enough free segments to serve VFS calls. Background
645 cleaner is operated by a kernel thread, and triggers the cleaning job when the
648 F2FS supports two victim selection policies: greedy and cost-benefit algorithms.
649 In the greedy algorithm, F2FS selects a victim segment having the smallest number
650 of valid blocks. In the cost-benefit algorithm, F2FS selects a victim segment
651 according to the segment age and the number of valid blocks in order to address
652 log block thrashing problem in the greedy algorithm. F2FS adopts the greedy
653 algorithm for on-demand cleaner, while background cleaner adopts cost-benefit
656 In order to identify whether the data in the victim segment are valid or not,
657 F2FS manages a bitmap. Each bit represents the validity of a block, and the
658 bitmap is composed of a bit stream covering whole blocks in main area.
