2009-09-16writeback: only use bdi_writeback_all() for WB_SYNC_NONE writeoutJens Axboe1-56/+14
Data integrity writeback must use bdi_start_writeback() and ensure that wbc->sb and wbc->bdi are set. Acked-by: Jan Kara <jack@suse.cz> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com>
2009-09-16fs: Assign bdi in super_blockJens Axboe6-1/+20
We do this automatically in get_sb_bdev() from the set_bdev_super() callback. Filesystems that have their own private backing_dev_info must assign that in ->fill_super(). Note that ->s_bdi assignment is required for proper writeback! Acked-by: Christoph Hellwig <hch@infradead.org> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com>
2009-09-16writeback: make wb_writeback() take an argument structureJens Axboe1-29/+49
We need to be able to pass in range_cyclic as well, so instead of growing yet another argument, split the arguments into a struct wb_writeback_args structure that we can use internally. Also makes it easier to just copy all members to an on-stack struct, since we can't access work after clearing the pending bit. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com>
2009-09-16writeback: merely wakeup flusher thread if work allocation fails for WB_SYNC_NONEChristoph Hellwig1-32/+14
Since it's an opportunistic writeback and not a data integrity action, don't punt to blocking writeback. Just wakeup the thread and it will flush old data. Acked-by: Jan Kara <jack@suse.cz> Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig <hch@infradead.org> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com>

2009-09-16fuse: limit user-specified values of max background requestsCsaba Henk1-6/+72
An untrusted user could DoS the system if s/he were allowed to accumulate an arbitrary number of pending background requests by setting the above limits to extremely high values in INIT. This patch excludes this possibility by imposing global upper limits on the possible values of per-mount "max background requests" and "congestion threshold" parameters for unprivileged FUSE filesystems. These global limits are implemented as module parameters. Signed-off-by: Csaba Henk <csaba@gluster.com> Signed-off-by: Miklos Szeredi <mszeredi@suse.cz>
2009-09-16fuse: use drop_nlink() instead of direct nlink manipulationCsaba Henk1-1/+1
drop_nlink() is the API function to decrease the link count of an inode. However, at a place the control filesystem used the decrement operator on i_nlink directly. Fix this.

Since systemtap doesn't use TP_fast_assign(), we can use a blind structure definition and then make sure the needed header files are defined before the ext4 source files #include the trace/events/ext4.h header file. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=512478 Signed-off-by: "Theodore Ts'o" <tytso@mit.edu>

2009-09-14udf: Fix possible corruption when close races with writeJan Kara1-0/+2
When we close a file, we remove preallocated blocks from it. But this truncation was not protected by i_mutex and thus it could have raced with a write through a different fd and cause crashes or even filesystem corruption. Signed-off-by: Jan Kara <jack@suse.cz>
2009-09-14udf: Perform preallocation only for regular filesJan Kara1-9/+10
So far we preallocated blocks also for directories but that brings a problem, when to get rid of preallocated blocks we don't need. So far we removed them in udf_clear_inode() which has a disadvantage that 1) blocks are unavailable long after writing to a directory finished and thus one can get out of space unnecessarily early 2) releasing blocks from udf_clear_inode is problematic because VFS does not expect us to redirty inode there and it also slows down memory reclaim. So preallocate blocks only for regular files where we can drop preallocation in udf_release_file. Signed-off-by: Jan Kara <jack@suse.cz>

2009-09-14fsync: wait for data writeout completion before calling ->fsyncChristoph Hellwig1-4/+1
Currenly vfs_fsync(_range) first calls filemap_fdatawrite to write out the data, the calls into ->fsync to write out the metadata and then finally calls filemap_fdatawait to wait for the data I/O to complete. What sounds like a clever micro-optimization actually is nast trap for many filesystems. For many modern filesystems i_size or other inode information is only updated on I/O completion and we need to wait for I/O to finish before we can write out the metadata. For old fashionen filesystems that instanciate blocks during the actual write and also update the metadata at that point it opens up a large window were we could expose uninitialized blocks after a crash. While a few filesystems that need it already wait for the I/O to finish inside their ->fsync methods it is rather suboptimal as it is done under the i_mutex and also always for the whole file instead of just a part as we could do for O_SYNC handling. Here is a small audit of all fsync instances in the tree: - spufs_mfc_fsync: - ps3flash_fsync: - vol_cdev_fsync: - printer_fsync: - fb_deferred_io_fsync: - bad_file_fsync: - simple_sync_file: don't care - filesystems/drivers do't use the page cache or are purely in-memory. - simple_fsync: - file_fsync: - affs_file_fsync: - fat_file_fsync: - jfs_fsync: - ubifs_fsync: - reiserfs_dir_fsync: - reiserfs_sync_file: never touch pagecache themselves. We need to wait before if we do not want to expose stale data after an allocation. - afs_fsync: - fuse_fsync_common: do the waiting writeback itself in awkward ways, would benefit from proper semantics - block_fsync: Does a filemap_write_and_wait on the block device inode. Because we now have f_mapping that is the same inode we call it on in vfs_fsync. So just removing it and letting the VFS do the work in one go would be an improvement. - btrfs_sync_file: - cifs_fsync: - xfs_file_fsync: need the wait first and currently do it themselves. would benefit from doing it outside i_mutex. - coda_fsync: - ecryptfs_fsync: - exofs_file_fsync: - shm_fsync: only passes the fsync through to the lower layer - ext3_sync_file: doesn't seem to care, comments are confusing. - ext4_sync_file: would need the wait to work correctly for delalloc mode with late i_size updates. Otherwise the ext3 comment applies. currently implemens it's own writeback and wait in an odd way, could benefit from doing it properly. - gfs2_fsync: not needed for journaled data mode, but probably harmless there. Currently writes back data asynchronously itself. Needs some major audit. - hostfs_fsync: just calls fsync/datasync on the host FD. Without the wait before data might not even be inflight yet if we're unlucky. - hpfs_file_fsync: - ncp_fsync: no-ops. Dangerous before and after. - jffs2_fsync: just calls jffs2_flush_wbuf_gc, not sure how this relates to data. - nfs_fsync_dir: just increments stats, claims all directory operations are synchronous - nfs_file_fsync: only writes out data??? Looks very odd. - nilfs_sync_file: looks like it expects all data done, but not sure from the code - ntfs_dir_fsync: - ntfs_file_fsync: appear to do their own data writeback. Very convoluted code. - ocfs2_sync_file: does it's own data writeback, but no wait. probably needs the wait. - smb_fsync: according to a comment expects all pages written already, probably needs the wait before. This patch only changes vfs_fsync_range, removal of the wait in the methods that have it is left to the filesystem maintainers. Note that most filesystems really do need an audit for their fsync methods given the gems found in this very brief audit.

Actually, nilfs is NOT a filesystem came from other operating systems, but a filesystem created purely for Linux. Nor is it a flash filesystem but that for generic block devices. So, this moves nilfs outside the misc category as I responded in LKML "Re: Why does NILFS2 hide under Miscellaneous filesystems?" (Message-Id: <20090716.002526.93465395.ryusuke@osrg.net>).

2009-09-14nilfs2: allow btree code to directly call dat operationsRyusuke Konishi4-299/+167
The current btree code is written so that btree functions call dat operations via wrapper functions in bmap.c when they allocate, free, or modify virtual block addresses. This abstraction requires additional function calls and causes frequent call of nilfs_bmap_get_dat() function since it is used in the every wrapper function. This removes the wrapper functions and makes them available from btree.c and direct.c, which will increase the opportunity of compiler optimization.

The btree path object is cleared just before it is freed. This will remove the code doing the unnecessary clear operation. Signed-off-by: Ryusuke Konishi <konishi.ryusuke@lab.ntt.co.jp>
2009-09-14nilfs2: remove unused btree argument from btree functionsRyusuke Konishi1-248/+208
Even though many btree functions take a btree object as their first argument, most of them are not used in their functions. This sticky use of the btree argument is hurting code readability and giving the possibility of inefficient code generation. So, this removes the unnecessary btree arguments.

2009-09-14nilfs2: shorten freeze period due to GC in write operation v3Jiro SEKIBA2-7/+21
This is a re-revised patch to shorten freeze period. This version include a fix of the bug Konishi-san mentioned last time. When GC is runnning, GC moves live block to difference segments. Copying live blocks into memory is done in a transaction, however it is not necessarily to be in the transaction. This patch will get the nilfs_ioctl_move_blocks() out from transaction lock and put it before the transaction. I ran sysbench fileio test against nilfs partition. I copied some DVD/CD images and created snapshot to create live blocks before starting the benchmark. Followings are summary of rc8 and rc8 w/ the patch of per-request statistics, which is min/max and avg. I ran each test three times and bellow is average of those numers. According to this benchmark result, average time is slightly degrated. However, worstcase (max) result is significantly improved. This can address a few seconds write freeze. - random write per-request performance of rc8 min 0.843ms max 680.406ms avg 3.050ms - random write per-request performance of rc8 w/ this patch min 0.843ms -> 100.00% max 380.490ms -> 55.90% avg 3.233ms -> 106.00% - sequential write per-request performance of rc8 min 0.736ms max 774.343ms avg 2.883ms - sequential write per-request performance of rc8 w/ this patch min 0.720ms -> 97.80% max 644.280ms-> 83.20% avg 3.130ms -> 108.50% -----8<-----8<-----nilfs_cleanerd.conf-----8<-----8<----- protection_period 150 selection_policy timestamp # timestamp in ascend order nsegments_per_clean 2 cleaning_interval 2 retry_interval 60 use_mmap log_priority info -----8<-----8<-----nilfs_cleanerd.conf-----8<-----8<----- Signed-off-by: Jiro SEKIBA <jir@unicus.jp> Signed-off-by: Ryusuke Konishi <konishi.ryusuke@lab.ntt.co.jp>
