2008-12-04kill xfs_buf_iostartChristoph Hellwig
xfs_buf_iostart is a "shared" helper for xfs_buf_read_flags, xfs_bawrite, and xfs_bdwrite - except that there isn't much shared code but rather special cases for each caller. So remove this function and move the functionality to the caller. xfs_bawrite and xfs_bdwrite are now big enough to be moved out of line and the xfs_buf_read_flags is moved into a new helper called _xfs_buf_read.

2008-10-10Fix barrier fail detection in XFSChristoph Hellwig
Currently we disable barriers as soon as we get a buffer in xlog_iodone that has the XBF_ORDERED flag cleared. But this can be the case not only for buffers where the barrier failed, but also the first buffer of a split log write in case of a log wraparound. Due to the disabled barriers we can easily get directory corruption on unclean shutdowns. So instead of using this check add a new buffer flag for failed barrier writes. This is a regression vs 2.6.26 caused by patch to use the right macro to check for the ORDERED flag, as we previously got true returned for every buffer. Thanks to Toei Rei for reporting the bug.

2008-08-13[XFS] Use KM_NOFS for debug trace buffersLachlan McIlroy
Use KM_NOFS to prevent recursion back into the filesystem which can cause deadlocks. In the case of xfs_iread() we hold the lock on the inode cluster buffer while allocating memory for the trace buffers. If we recurse back into XFS to flush data that may require a transaction to allocate extents which needs log space. This can deadlock with the xfsaild thread which can't push the tail of the log because it is trying to get the inode cluster buffer lock.

2007-02-10[XFS] Fix a synchronous buftarg flush deadlock when freezing.David Chinner
At the last stage of a freeze, we flush the buftarg synchronously over and over again until it succeeds twice without skipping any buffers. The delwri list flush skips pinned buffers, but tries to flush all others. It removes the buffers from the delwri list, then tries to lock them one at a time as it traverses the list to issue the I/O. It holds them locked until we issue all of the I/O and then unlocks them once we've waited for it to complete. The problem is that during a freeze, the filesystem may still be doing stuff - like flushing delalloc data buffers - in the background and hence we can be trying to lock buffers that were on the delwri list at the same time. Hence we can get ABBA deadlocks between threads doing allocation and the buftarg flush (freeze) thread. Fix it by skipping locked (and pinned) buffers as we traverse the delwri buffer list.

2006-09-28[XFS] Improve xfsbufd delayed write submission patterns, after blktraceNathan Scott
analysis. Under a sequential create+allocate workload, blktrace reported backward writes being issued by xfsbufd, and frequent inappropriate queue unplugs. We now insert at the tail when moving from the delwri lists to the temp lists, which maintains correct ordering, and we avoid unplugging queues deep in the submit paths when we'd shortly do it at a higher level anyway. blktrace now reports much healthier write patterns from xfsbufd for this workload (and likely many others).

2006-04-11[PATCH] Add GFP_NOWAITJeff Dike
Introduce GFP_NOWAIT, as an alias for GFP_ATOMIC & ~__GFP_HIGH. This also changes XFS, which is the only in-tree user of this idiom that I could find. The XFS piece is compile-tested only.
