2011-01-17fallocate should be a file operationChristoph Hellwig2-60/+56
Currently all filesystems except XFS implement fallocate asynchronously, while XFS forced a commit. Both of these are suboptimal - in case of O_SYNC I/O we really want our allocation on disk, especially for the !KEEP_SIZE case where we actually grow the file with user-visible zeroes. On the other hand always commiting the transaction is a bad idea for fast-path uses of fallocate like for example in recent Samba versions. Given that block allocation is a data plane operation anyway change it from an inode operation to a file operation so that we have the file structure available that lets us check for O_SYNC. This also includes moving the code around for a few of the filesystems, and remove the already unnedded S_ISDIR checks given that we only wire up fallocate for regular files.

2011-01-12xfs: prevent NMI timeouts in cmn_errDave Chinner1-1/+22
We currently have a global error message buffer in cmn_err that is protected by a spin lock that disables interrupts. Recently there have been reports of NMI timeouts occurring when the console is being flooded by SCSI error reports due to cmn_err() getting stuck trying to print to the console while holding this lock (i.e. with interrupts disabled). The NMI watchdog is seeing this CPU as non-responding and so is triggering a panic. While the trigger for the reported case is SCSI errors, pretty much anything that spams the kernel log could cause this to occur. Realistically the only reason that we have the intemediate message buffer is to prepend the correct kernel log level prefix to the log message. The only reason we have the lock is to protect the global message buffer and the only reason the message buffer is global is to keep it off the stack. Hence if we can avoid needing a global message buffer we avoid needing the lock, and we can do this with a small amount of cleanup and some preprocessor tricks: 1. clean up xfs_cmn_err() panic mask functionality to avoid needing debug code in xfs_cmn_err() 2. remove the couple of "!" message prefixes that still exist that the existing cmn_err() code steps over. 3. redefine CE_* levels directly to KERN_* 4. redefine cmn_err() and friends to use printk() directly via variable argument length macros. By doing this, we can completely remove the cmn_err() code and the lock that is causing the problems, and rely solely on printk() serialisation to ensure that we don't get garbled messages. A series of followup patches is really needed to clean up all the cmn_err() calls and related messages properly, but that results in a series that is not easily back portable to enterprise kernels. Hence this initial fix is only to address the direct problem in the lowest impact way possible.

2011-01-11xfs: fix error handling for synchronous writesChristoph Hellwig2-12/+2
If we get an IO error on a synchronous superblock write, we attach an error release function to it so that when the last reference goes away the release function is called and the buffer is invalidated and unlocked. The buffer is left locked until the release function is called so that other concurrent users of the buffer will be locked out until the buffer error is fully processed. Unfortunately, for the superblock buffer the filesyetm itself holds a reference to the buffer which prevents the reference count from dropping to zero and the release function being called. As a result, once an IO error occurs on a sync write, the buffer will never be unlocked and all future attempts to lock the buffer will hang. To make matters worse, this problems is not unique to such buffers; if there is a concurrent _xfs_buf_find() running, the lookup will grab a reference to the buffer and then wait on the buffer lock, preventing the reference count from ever falling to zero and hence unlocking the buffer. As such, the whole b_relse function implementation is broken because it cannot rely on the buffer reference count falling to zero to unlock the errored buffer. The synchronous write error path is the only path that uses this callback - it is used to ensure that the synchronous waiter gets the buffer error before the error state is cleared from the buffer by the release function. Given that the only sychronous buffer writes now go through xfs_bwrite and the error path in question can only occur for a write of a dirty, logged buffer, we can move most of the b_relse processing to happen inline in xfs_buf_iodone_callbacks, just like a normal I/O completion. In addition to that we make sure the error is not cleared in xfs_buf_iodone_callbacks, so that xfs_bwrite can reliably check it. Given that xfs_bwrite keeps the buffer locked until it has waited for it and checked the error this allows to reliably propagate the error to the caller, and make sure that the buffer is reliably unlocked. Given that xfs_buf_iodone_callbacks was the only instance of the b_relse callback we can remove it entirely. Based on earlier patches by Dave Chinner and Ajeet Yadav.

2011-01-11xfs: ensure log covering transactions are synchronousDave Chinner2-6/+7
To ensure the log is covered and the filesystem idles correctly, we need to ensure that dummy transactions hit the disk and do not stay pinned in memory. If the superblock is pinned in memory, it can't be flushed so the log covering cannot make progress. The result is dependent on timing - more oftent han not we continue to issues a log covering transaction every 36s rather than idling after ~90s. Fix this by making the log covering transaction synchronous. To avoid additional log force from xfssyncd, make the log covering transaction take the place of the existing log force in the xfssyncd background sync process.

2011-01-11xfs: serialise unaligned direct IOsDave Chinner1-10/+28
When two concurrent unaligned, non-overlapping direct IOs are issued to the same block, the direct Io layer will race to zero the block. The result is that one of the concurrent IOs will overwrite data written by the other IO with zeros. This is demonstrated by the xfsqa test 240. To avoid this problem, serialise all unaligned direct IOs to an inode with a big hammer. We need a big hammer approach as we need to serialise AIO as well, so we can't just block writes on locks. Hence, the big hammer is calling xfs_ioend_wait() while holding out other unaligned direct IOs from starting. We don't bother trying to serialised aligned vs unaligned IOs as they are overlapping IO and the result of concurrent overlapping IOs is undefined - the result of either IO is a valid result so we let them race. Hence we only penalise unaligned IO, which already has a major overhead compared to aligned IO so this isn't a major problem.

2010-12-21xfs: introduce new locks for the log grant ticket wait queuesDave Chinner1-0/+2
The log grant ticket wait queues are currently protected by the log grant lock. However, the queues are functionally independent from each other, and operations on them only require serialisation against other queue operations now that all of the other log variables they use are atomic values. Hence, we can make them independent of the grant lock by introducing new locks just to protect the lists operations. because the lists are independent, we can use a lock per list and ensure that reserve and write head queuing do not contend. To ensure forced shutdowns work correctly in conjunction with the new fast paths, ensure that we check whether the log has been shut down in the grant functions once we hold the relevant spin locks but before we go to sleep. This is needed to co-ordinate correctly with the wakeups that are issued on the ticket queues so we don't leave any processes sleeping on the queues during a shutdown.

Also, provide functions to safely crack an atomic LSN variable into it's component pieces and to recombined the components into an atomic variable. Use them where appropriate.

2010-12-02xfs: add a lru to the XFS buffer cacheDave Chinner2-22/+150
Introduce a per-buftarg LRU for memory reclaim to operate on. This is the last piece we need to put in place so that we can fully control the buffer lifecycle. This allows XFS to be responsibile for maintaining the working set of buffers under memory pressure instead of relying on the VM reclaim not to take pages we need out from underneath us. The implementation introduces a b_lru_ref counter into the buffer. This is currently set to 1 whenever the buffer is referenced and so is used to determine if the buffer should be added to the LRU or not when freed. Effectively it allows lazy LRU initialisation of the buffer so we do not need to touch the LRU list and locks in xfs_buf_find(). Instead, when the buffer is being released and we drop the last reference to it, we check the b_lru_ref count and if it is none zero we re-add the buffer reference and add the inode to the LRU. The b_lru_ref counter is decremented by the shrinker, and whenever the shrinker comes across a buffer with a zero b_lru_ref counter, if released the LRU reference on the buffer. In the absence of a lookup race, this will result in the buffer being freed. This counting mechanism is used instead of a reference flag so that it is simple to re-introduce buffer-type specific reclaim reference counts to prioritise reclaim more effectively. We still have all those hooks in the XFS code, so this will provide the infrastructure to re-implement that functionality.

2010-12-01xfs: push stale, pinned buffers on trylock failuresDave Chinner1-19/+16
As reported by Nick Piggin, XFS is suffering from long pauses under highly concurrent workloads when hosted on ramdisks. The problem is that an inode buffer is stuck in the pinned state in memory and as a result either the inode buffer or one of the inodes within the buffer is stopping the tail of the log from being moved forward. The system remains in this state until a periodic log force issued by xfssyncd causes the buffer to be unpinned. The main problem is that these are stale buffers, and are hence held locked until the transaction/checkpoint that marked them state has been committed to disk. When the filesystem gets into this state, only the xfssyncd can cause the async transactions to be committed to disk and hence unpin the inode buffer. This problem was encountered when scaling the busy extent list, but only the blocking lock interface was fixed to solve the problem. Extend the same fix to the buffer trylock operations - if we fail to lock a pinned, stale buffer, then force the log immediately so that when the next attempt to lock it comes around, it will have been unpinned.

Since the move to the new truncate sequence we call xfs_setattr to truncate down excessively instanciated blocks. As shown by the testcase in kernel.org BZ #22452 that doesn't work too well. Due to the confusion of the internal inode size, and the VFS inode i_size it zeroes data that it shouldn't. But full blown truncate seems like overkill here. We only instanciate delayed allocations in the write path, and given that we never released the iolock we can't have converted them to real allocations yet either. The only nasty case is pre-existing preallocation which we need to skip. We already do this for page discard during writeback, so make the delayed allocation block punching a generic function and call it from the failed write path as well as xfs_aops_discard_page. The callers are responsible for ensuring that partial blocks are not truncated away, and that they hold the ilock. Based on a fix originally from Christoph Hellwig.

With delayed logging greatly increasing the sustained parallelism of inode operations, the inode cache locking is showing significant read vs write contention when inode reclaim runs at the same time as lookups. There is also a lot more write lock acquistions than there are read locks (4:1 ratio) so the read locking is not really buying us much in the way of parallelism. To avoid the read vs write contention, change the cache to use RCU locking on the read side. To avoid needing to RCU free every single inode, use the built in slab RCU freeing mechanism. This requires us to be able to detect lookups of freed inodes, so enѕure that ever freed inode has an inode number of zero and the XFS_IRECLAIM flag set. We already check the XFS_IRECLAIM flag in cache hit lookup path, but also add a check for a zero inode number as well.

Move the buffer locking into the callers as they need to do it wether they call xfs_map_at_offset or not. Remove the b_bdev assignment, which is already done by get_blocks. Remove the duplicate extent type asserts in xfs_convert_page just before calling xfs_map_at_offset.

2010-12-16xfs: refactor xfs_vm_writepageChristoph Hellwig1-58/+39
After the last patches the code for overwrites is the same as for delayed and unwritten extents except that it doesn't need to call xfs_map_at_offset. Take care of that fact to simplify xfs_vm_writepage. The buffer loop now first checks the type of buffer and checks/sets the ioend type, or continues to the next buffer if it's not interesting to us. Only after that we validate the iomap and perform the block mapping if needed, all in common code for the cases where we have to do work.

2010-12-16xfs: remove the all_bh flag from xfs_convert_pageChristoph Hellwig1-20/+13
The all_bh flag is always set when entering the page clustering machinery with a regular written extent, which means the check for it is superflous. Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de> Reviewed-by: Dave Chinner <dchinner@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Alex Elder <aelder@sgi.com>
2010-12-16xfs: remove xfs_probe_clusterChristoph Hellwig1-107/+4
xfs_map_blocks always calls xfs_bmapi with the XFS_BMAPI_ENTIRE entire flag, which tells it to not cap the extent at the passed in size, but just treat the size as an minimum to map. This means xfs_probe_cluster is entirely useless as we'll always get the whole extent back anyway.

2010-12-16xfs: simplify xfs_map_blocksChristoph Hellwig1-52/+25
No need to lock the extent map exclusive when performing an overwrite, we know the extent map must already have been loaded by get_blocks. Apply the non-blocking inode semantics to all mapping types instead of just delayed allocations. Remove the handling of not yet allocated blocks for the IO_UNWRITTEN case - if an extent is marked as unwritten allocated in the buffer it must already have an extent on disk. Add asserts to verify all the assumptions above in debug builds.

2010-12-16xfs: kill xfs_iomapChristoph Hellwig3-73/+182
Opencode the xfs_iomap code in it's two callers. The overlap of passed flags already was minimal and will be further reduced in the next patch. As a side effect the BMAPI_* flags for xfs_bmapi and the IO_* flags for I/O end processing are merged into a single set of flags, which should be a bit more descriptive of the operation we perform. Also improve the tracing by giving each caller it's own type set of tracepoints.

2010-12-16xfs: a few small tweaks for overwrites in xfs_vm_writepageChristoph Hellwig1-8/+7
Don't trylock the buffer. We are the only one ever locking it for a regular file address space, and trylock was only copied from the generic code which did it due to the old buffer based writeout in jbd. Also make sure to only write out the buffer if the iomap actually is valid, because we wouldn't have a proper mapping otherwise. In practice we will never get an invalid mapping here as the page lock guarantees truncate doesn't race with us, but better be safe than sorry. Also make sure we allocate a new ioend when crossing boundaries between mappings, just like we do for delalloc and unwritten extents. Again this currently doesn't matter as the I/O end handler only cares for the boundaries for unwritten extents, but this makes the code fully correct and the same as for delalloc/unwritten extents.

2010-12-16xfs: fix exporting with left over 64-bit inodesSamuel Kvasnica1-2/+10
We now support mounting and using filesystems with 64-bit inodes even when not mounted with the inode64 option (which now only controls if we allocate new inodes in that space or not). Make sure we always use large NFS file handles when exporting a filesystem that may contain 64-bit inodes. Note that this only affects newly generated file handles, any outstanding 32-bit file handle is still accepted.

2010-11-13block: clean up blkdev_get() wrappers and their usersTejun Heo1-1/+2
After recent blkdev_get() modifications, open_by_devnum() and open_bdev_exclusive() are simple wrappers around blkdev_get(). Replace them with blkdev_get_by_dev() and blkdev_get_by_path(). blkdev_get_by_dev() is identical to open_by_devnum(). blkdev_get_by_path() is slightly different in that it doesn't automatically add %FMODE_EXCL to @mode. All users are converted. Most conversions are mechanical and don't introduce any behavior difference. There are several exceptions. * btrfs now sets FMODE_EXCL in btrfs_device->mode, so there's no reason to OR it explicitly on blkdev_put(). * gfs2, nilfs2 and the generic mount_bdev() now set FMODE_EXCL in sb->s_mode. * With the above changes, sb->s_mode now always should contain FMODE_EXCL. WARN_ON_ONCE() added to kill_block_super() to detect errors. The new blkdev_get_*() functions are with proper docbook comments. While at it, add function description to blkdev_get() too.
