2014-06-04mm: non-atomically mark page accessed during page cache allocation where possibleMel Gorman1-1/+0
aops->write_begin may allocate a new page and make it visible only to have mark_page_accessed called almost immediately after. Once the page is visible the atomic operations are necessary which is noticable overhead when writing to an in-memory filesystem like tmpfs but should also be noticable with fast storage. The objective of the patch is to initialse the accessed information with non-atomic operations before the page is visible. The bulk of filesystems directly or indirectly use grab_cache_page_write_begin or find_or_create_page for the initial allocation of a page cache page. This patch adds an init_page_accessed() helper which behaves like the first call to mark_page_accessed() but may called before the page is visible and can be done non-atomically. The primary APIs of concern in this care are the following and are used by most filesystems. find_get_page find_lock_page find_or_create_page grab_cache_page_nowait grab_cache_page_write_begin All of them are very similar in detail to the patch creates a core helper pagecache_get_page() which takes a flags parameter that affects its behavior such as whether the page should be marked accessed or not. Then old API is preserved but is basically a thin wrapper around this core function. Each of the filesystems are then updated to avoid calling mark_page_accessed when it is known that the VM interfaces have already done the job. There is a slight snag in that the timing of the mark_page_accessed() has now changed so in rare cases it's possible a page gets to the end of the LRU as PageReferenced where as previously it might have been repromoted. This is expected to be rare but it's worth the filesystem people thinking about it in case they see a problem with the timing change. It is also the case that some filesystems may be marking pages accessed that previously did not but it makes sense that filesystems have consistent behaviour in this regard. The test case used to evaulate this is a simple dd of a large file done multiple times with the file deleted on each iterations. The size of the file is 1/10th physical memory to avoid dirty page balancing. In the async case it will be possible that the workload completes without even hitting the disk and will have variable results but highlight the impact of mark_page_accessed for async IO. The sync results are expected to be more stable. The exception is tmpfs where the normal case is for the "IO" to not hit the disk. The test machine was single socket and UMA to avoid any scheduling or NUMA artifacts. Throughput and wall times are presented for sync IO, only wall times are shown for async as the granularity reported by dd and the variability is unsuitable for comparison. As async results were variable do to writback timings, I'm only reporting the maximum figures. The sync results were stable enough to make the mean and stddev uninteresting.

2014-05-14GFS2: remove transaction glockBenjamin Marzinski1-1/+1
GFS2 has a transaction glock, which must be grabbed for every transaction, whose purpose is to deal with freezing the filesystem. Aside from this involving a large amount of locking, it is very easy to make the current fsfreeze code hang on unfreezing. This patch rewrites how gfs2 handles freezing the filesystem. The transaction glock is removed. In it's place is a freeze glock, which is cached (but not held) in a shared state by every node in the cluster when the filesystem is mounted. This lock only needs to be grabbed on freezing, and actions which need to be safe from freezing, like recovery. When a node wants to freeze the filesystem, it grabs this glock exclusively. When the freeze glock state changes on the nodes (either from shared to unlocked, or shared to exclusive), the filesystem does a special log flush. gfs2_log_flush() does all the work for flushing out the and shutting down the incore log, and then it tries to grab the freeze glock in a shared state again. Since the filesystem is stuck in gfs2_log_flush, no new transaction can start, and nothing can be written to disk. Unfreezing the filesytem simply involes dropping the freeze glock, allowing gfs2_log_flush() to grab and then release the shared lock, so it is cached for next time. However, in order for the unfreezing ioctl to occur, gfs2 needs to get a shared lock on the filesystem root directory inode to check permissions. If that glock has already been grabbed exclusively, fsfreeze will be unable to get the shared lock and unfreeze the filesystem. In order to allow the unfreeze, this patch makes gfs2 grab a shared lock on the filesystem root directory during the freeze, and hold it until it unfreezes the filesystem. The functions which need to grab a shared lock in order to allow the unfreeze ioctl to be issued now use the lock grabbed by the freeze code instead. The freeze and unfreeze code take care to make sure that this shared lock will not be dropped while another process is using it.

2014-02-06GFS2: journal data writepages updateSteven Whitehouse1-36/+96
GFS2 has carried what is more or less a copy of the write_cache_pages() for some time. It seems that this copy has slipped behind the core code over time. This patch brings it back uptodate, and in addition adds the tracepoint which would otherwise be missing. We could go further, and eliminate some or all of the code duplication here. The issue is that if we do that, then the function we need to split out from the existing write_cache_pages(), which will look a lot like gfs2_jdata_write_pagevec(), would land up putting quite a lot of extra variables on the stack. I know that has been a problem in the past in the writeback code path, which is why I've hesitated to do it here. Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>
2014-01-14GFS2: No need to invalidate pages for a dio readSteven Whitehouse1-2/+3
We recently fixed the writeback of pages prior to performing direct i/o, however the initial fix was perhaps a bit heavy handed. There is no need to invalidate pages if the direct i/o is only a read, since they will be identical to what has been flushed to disk anyway. Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>
2014-01-03GFS2: Clean up releasepageSteven Whitehouse1-13/+5
For historical reasons, we drop and retake the log lock in ->releasepage() however, since there is no reason why we cannot hold the log lock over the whole function, this allows some simplification. In particular, pinning a buffer is only ever done under the log lock, so it is possible here to remove the test for pinned buffers in the second loop, since it is impossible for that to happen (it is also tested in the first loop). As a result, two tests made later in the second loop become constants and can also be reduced to the only possible branch. So the net result is to remove various bits of unreachable code and make this more readable. Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>
2013-12-20GFS2: Fix incorrect invalidation for DIO/buffered I/OSteven Whitehouse1-0/+30
In patch 209806aba9d540dde3db0a5ce72307f85f33468f we allowed local deferred locks to be granted against a cached exclusive lock. That opened up a corner case which this patch now fixes. The solution to the problem is to check whether we have cached pages each time we do direct I/O and if so to unmap, flush and invalidate those pages. Since the glock state machine normally does that for us, mostly the code will be a no-op. Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>
2013-10-02GFS2: Add allocation parameters structureSteven Whitehouse1-1/+3
This patch adds a structure to contain allocation parameters with the intention of future expansion of this structure.

There is no functional difference from applying this patch. Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>
2013-09-05GFS2: dirty inode correctly in gfs2_write_endBenjamin Marzinski1-2/+7
GFS2 was only setting I_DIRTY_DATASYNC on files that it wrote to, when it actually increased the file size. If gfs2_fsync was called without I_DIRTY_DATASYNC set, it didn't flush the incore data to the log before returning, so any metadata or journaled data changes were not getting fsynced. This meant that writes to the middle of files were not always getting fsynced properly. This patch makes gfs2 set I_DIRTY_DATASYNC whenever metadata has been updated during a write. It also make gfs2_sync flush the incore log if I_DIRTY_PAGES is set, and the file is using data journalling. This will make sure that all incore logged data gets written to disk before returning from a fsync.

2013-05-21mm: change invalidatepage prototype to accept lengthLukas Czerner1-3/+5
Currently there is no way to truncate partial page where the end truncate point is not at the end of the page. This is because it was not needed and the functionality was enough for file system truncate operation to work properly. However more file systems now support punch hole feature and it can benefit from mm supporting truncating page just up to the certain point. Specifically, with this functionality truncate_inode_pages_range() can be changed so it supports truncating partial page at the end of the range (currently it will BUG_ON() if 'end' is not at the end of the page). This commit changes the invalidatepage() address space operation prototype to accept range to be invalidated and update all the instances for it. We also change the block_invalidatepage() in the same way and actually make a use of the new length argument implementing range invalidation. Actual file system implementations will follow except the file systems where the changes are really simple and should not change the behaviour in any way .Implementation for truncate_page_range() which will be able to accept page unaligned ranges will follow as well.

2013-04-08GFS2: replace gfs2_ail structure with gfs2_transBenjamin Marzinski1-1/+1
In order to allow transactions and log flushes to happen at the same time, gfs2 needs to move the transaction accounting and active items list code into the gfs2_trans structure. As a first step toward this, this patch removes the gfs2_ail structure, and handles the active items list in the gfs_trans structure. This keeps gfs2 from allocating an ail structure on log flushes, and gives us a struture that can later be used to store the transaction accounting outside of the gfs2 superblock structure. With this patch, at the end of a transaction, gfs2 will add the gfs2_trans structure to the superblock if there is not one already. This structure now has the active items fields that were previously in gfs2_ail. This is not necessary in the case where the transaction was simply used to add revokes, since these are never written outside of the journal, and thus, don't need an active items list. Also, in order to make sure that the transaction structure is not removed while it's still in use by gfs2_trans_end, unlocking the sd_log_flush_lock has to happen slightly later in ending the transaction.

2013-01-29GFS2: Use ->writepages for ordered writesSteven Whitehouse1-7/+6
Instead of using a list of buffers to write ahead of the journal flush, this now uses a list of inodes and calls ->writepages via filemap_fdatawrite() in order to achieve the same thing. For most use cases this results in a shorter ordered write list, as well as much larger i/os being issued. The ordered write list is sorted by inode number before writing in order to retain the disk block ordering between inodes as per the previous code. The previous ordered write code used to conflict in its assumptions about how to write out the disk blocks with mpage_writepages() so that with this updated version we can also use mpage_writepages() for GFS2's ordered write, writepages implementation. So we will also send larger i/os from writeback too. Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>
2013-01-29GFS2: Split gfs2_trans_add_bh() into twoSteven Whitehouse1-2/+2
There is little common content in gfs2_trans_add_bh() between the data and meta classes by the time that the functions which it calls are taken into account. The intent here is to split this into two separate functions. Stage one is to introduce gfs2_trans_add_data() and gfs2_trans_add_meta() and update the callers accordingly. Later patches will then pull in the content of gfs2_trans_add_bh() and its dependent functions in order to clean up the code in this area. Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>
2012-11-07GFS2: Add Orlov allocatorSteven Whitehouse1-1/+1
Just like ext3, this works on the root directory and any directory with the +T flag set. Also, just like ext3, any subdirectory created in one of the just mentioned cases will be allocated to a random resource group (GFS2 equivalent of a block group). If you are creating a set of directories, each of which will contain a job running on a different node, then by setting +T on the parent directory before creating the subdirectories, each will land up in a different resource group, and thus resource group contention between nodes will be kept to a minimum.

2012-09-24GFS2: Remove rs_requested field from reservationsSteven Whitehouse1-4/+5
The rs_requested field is left over from the original allocation code, however this should have been a parameter passed to the various functions from gfs2_inplace_reserve() and not a member of the reservation structure as the value is not required after the initial allocation. This also helps simplify the code since we no longer need to set the rs_requested to zero. Also the gfs2_inplace_release() function can also be simplified since the reservation structure will always be defined when it is called, and the only remaining task is to unlock the rgrp if required. It can also now be called unconditionally too, resulting in a further simplification. Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>
2012-06-06GFS2: Fold quota data into the reservations structBob Peterson1-14/+2

2012-06-06GFS2: Extend the life of the reservationsBob Peterson1-1/+1
This patch lengthens the lifespan of the reservations structure for inodes. Before, they were allocated and deallocated for every write operation. With this patch, they are allocated when the first write occurs, and deallocated when the last process closes the file. It's more efficient to do it this way because it saves GFS2 a lot of unnecessary allocates and frees. It also gives us more flexibility for the future: (1) we can now fold the qadata structure back into the structure and save those alloc/frees, (2) we can use this for multi-block reservations.

2012-04-10GFS2: Allow caching of rindex glockBob Peterson1-2/+2
This patch allows caching of the rindex glock. We were previously setting the GL_NOCACHE bit when the glock was released. That forced the rindex inode to be invalidated, which caused us to re-read rindex at the next access. However, it caused the glock to be unnecessarily bounced around the cluster. This patch allows the glock to remain cached, but it still causes the rindex to be re-read once it has been written to by gfs2_grow.

2011-10-21GFS2: Cache the most recently used resource group in the inodeSteven Whitehouse1-1/+1
This means that after the initial allocation for any inode, the last used resource group is cached in the inode for future use. This drastically reduces the number of lookups of resource groups in the common case, and this the contention on that data structure. The allocation algorithm is the same as previously, except that we always check to see if the goal block is within the cached rgrp first before going to the rbtree to look one up. Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>
2011-10-21GFS2: Use ->dirty_inode()Steven Whitehouse1-6/+0
The aim of this patch is to use the newly enhanced ->dirty_inode() super block operation to deal with atime updates, rather than piggy backing that code into ->write_inode() as is currently done. The net result is a simplification of the code in various places and a reduction of the number of gfs2_dinode_out() calls since this is now implied by ->dirty_inode(). Some of the mark_inode_dirty() calls have been moved under glocks in order to take advantage of then being able to avoid locking in ->dirty_inode() when we already have suitable locks. One consequence is that generic_write_end() now correctly deals with file size updates, so that we do not need a separate check for that afterwards. This also, indirectly, means that fdatasync should work correctly on GFS2 - the current code always syncs the metadata whether it needs to or not. Has survived testing with postmark (with and without atime) and also fsx. Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>
2011-07-14GFS2: Resolve inode eviction and ail list interaction bugSteven Whitehouse1-0/+3
This patch contains a few misc fixes which resolve a recently reported issue. This patch has been a real team effort and has received a lot of testing. The first issue is that the ail lock needs to be held over a few more operations. The lock thats added into gfs2_releasepage() may possibly be a candidate for replacing with RCU at some future point, but at this stage we've gone for the obvious fix. The second issue is that gfs2_write_inode() can end up calling a glock recursively when called from gfs2_evict_inode() via the syncing code, so it needs a guard added. The third issue is that we either need to not truncate the metadata pages of inodes which have zero link count, but which we cannot deallocate due to them still being in use by other nodes, or we need to ensure that those pages have all made it through the journal and ail lists first. This patch takes the former approach, but the latter has also been tested and there is nothing to choose between them performance-wise. So again, we could revise that decision in the future. Also, the inode eviction process is now better documented.

2011-05-03GFS2: Improve bug trap code in ->releasepage()Steven Whitehouse1-2/+6
If the buffer is dirty or pinned, then as well as printing a warning, we should also refuse to release the page in question. Currently this can occur if there is a race between mmap()ed writers and O_DIRECT on the same file. With the addition of ->launder_page() in the future, we should be able to close this gap.

2011-04-18GFS2: write_end error path fails to unlock transaction lockBob Peterson1-1/+1
I did an audit of gfs2's transaction glock for bugzilla bug 658619 and ran across this: In function gfs2_write_end, in the unlikely event that gfs2_meta_inode_buffer returns an error, the code may forget to unlock the transaction lock because the "failed" label appears after the call to function gfs2_trans_end.

2011-03-14GFS2: Adding missing unlock_page()Maxim1-0/+1
gfs2_write_begin() calls grab_cache_page_write_begin() that returns *locked* page. Correspondent error-handling path lacks for unlock_page() call: > out: > if (error == 0) > return 0; > > page_cache_release(page); The whole system hangs if gfs2_unstuff_dinode() called from gfs2_write_begin() failed for some reason.

2010-09-28GFS2: reserve more blocks for transactionsBenjamin Marzinski1-0/+2
Some of the functions in GFS2 were not reserving space in the transaction for the resource group header and the resource groups bitblocks that get added when you do allocation. GFS2 now makes sure to reserve space for the resource group header and either all the bitblocks in the resource group, or one for each block that it may allocate, whichever is smaller using the new gfs2_rg_blocks() inline function.

2010-09-20GFS2: fallocate supportBenjamin Marzinski1-2/+2
This patch adds support for fallocate to gfs2. Since the gfs2 does not support uninitialized data blocks, it must write out zeros to all the blocks. However, since it does not need to lock any pages to read from, gfs2 can write out the zero blocks much more efficiently. On a moderately full filesystem, fallocate works around 5 times faster on average. The fallocate call also allows gfs2 to add blocks to the file without changing the filesize, which will make it possible for gfs2 to preallocate space for the rindex file, so that gfs2 can grow a completely full filesystem.

2010-09-20GFS2: Remove i_disksizeSteven Whitehouse1-5/+1
With the update of the truncate code, ip->i_disksize and inode->i_size are merely copies of each other. This means we can remove ip->i_disksize and use inode->i_size exclusively reducing the size of a GFS2 inode by 8 bytes. Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>
2010-09-20GFS2: New truncate sequenceSteven Whitehouse1-6/+4
This updates GFS2's truncate code to use the new truncate sequence correctly. This is a stepping stone to being able to remove ip->i_disksize in favour of using i_size everywhere now that the two sizes are always identical.

2010-08-09check ATTR_SIZE contraints in inode_change_okChristoph Hellwig1-2/+2
Make sure we check the truncate constraints early on in ->setattr by adding those checks to inode_change_ok. Also clean up and document inode_change_ok to make this obvious. As a fallout we don't have to call inode_newsize_ok from simple_setsize and simplify it down to a truncate_setsize which doesn't return an error. This simplifies a lot of setattr implementations and means we use truncate_setsize almost everywhere. Get rid of fat_setsize now that it's trivial and mark ext2_setsize static to make the calling convention obvious. Keep the inode_newsize_ok in vmtruncate for now as all callers need an audit for its removal anyway. Note: setattr code in ecryptfs doesn't call inode_change_ok at all and needs a deeper audit, but that is left for later.

2010-07-29GFS2: Simplify gfs2_write_alloc_requiredBob Peterson1-3/+1
Function gfs2_write_alloc_required always returned zero as its return code. Therefore, it doesn't need to return a return code at all. Given that, we can use the return value to return whether or not the dinode needs block allocations rather than passing that value in, which in turn simplifies a bunch of error checking.
