2010-11-10xfs: remove incorrect assert in xfs_vm_writepageChristoph Hellwig
In commit 20cb52ebd1b5ca6fa8a5d9b6b1392292f5ca8a45, titled "xfs: simplify xfs_vm_writepage" I added an assert that any !mapped and uptodate buffers are not dirty. That asserts turns out to trigger a lot when running fsx on filesystems with small block sizes. The reason for that is that the assert is simply incorrect. !mapped and uptodate just mean this buffer covers a hole, and whenever we do a set_page_dirty we mark all blocks in the page dirty, no matter if they have data or not. So remove the assert, and update the comment above the condition to match reality. Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de> Signed-off-by: Alex Elder <aelder@sgi.com>
2010-11-10xfs: use hlist_add_fakeChristoph Hellwig
XFS does not need it's inodes to actuall be hashed in the VFS inode cache, but we require the inode to be marked hashed for the writeback code to work. Insted of using insert_inode_hash, which requires a second inode_lock roundtrip after the partial merge of the inode scalability patches in 2.6.37-rc simply use the new hlist_add_fake helper to mark it hashed without requiring a lock or touching a global cache line.

2010-11-10xfs: move delayed write buffer traceDave Chinner
The delayed write buffer split trace currently issues a trace for every buffer it scans. These buffers are not necessarily queued for delayed write. Indeed, when buffers are pinned, there can be thousands of traces of buffers that aren't actually queued for delayed write and the ones that are are lost in the noise. Move the trace point to record only buffers that are split out for IO to be issued on.

2010-10-26writeback: remove nonblocking/encountered_congestion referencesWu Fengguang
This removes more dead code that was somehow missed by commit 0d99519efef (writeback: remove unused nonblocking and congestion checks). There are no behavior change except for the removal of two entries from one of the ext4 tracing interface. The nonblocking checks in ->writepages are no longer used because the flusher now prefer to block on get_request_wait() than to skip inodes on IO congestion. The latter will lead to more seeky IO. The nonblocking checks in ->writepage are no longer used because it's redundant with the WB_SYNC_NONE check. We no long set ->nonblocking in VM page out and page migration, because a) it's effectively redundant with WB_SYNC_NONE in current code b) it's old semantic of "Don't get stuck on request queues" is mis-behavior: that would skip some dirty inodes on congestion and page out others, which is unfair in terms of LRU age.

2010-10-18xfs: convert buffer cache hash to rbtreeDave Chinner
The buffer cache hash is showing typical hash scalability problems. In large scale testing the number of cached items growing far larger than the hash can efficiently handle. Hence we need to move to a self-scaling cache indexing mechanism. I have selected rbtrees for indexing becuse they can have O(log n) search scalability, and insert and remove cost is not excessive, even on large trees. Hence we should be able to cache large numbers of buffers without incurring the excessive cache miss search penalties that the hash is imposing on us. To ensure we still have parallel access to the cache, we need multiple trees. Rather than hashing the buffers by disk address to select a tree, it seems more sensible to separate trees by typical access patterns. Most operations use buffers from within a single AG at a time, so rather than searching lots of different lists, separate the buffer indexes out into per-AG rbtrees. This means that searches during metadata operation have a much higher chance of hitting cache resident nodes, and that updates of the tree are less likely to disturb trees being accessed on other CPUs doing independent operations.

2010-10-18xfs: serialise inode reclaim within an AGDave Chinner
Memory reclaim via shrinkers has a terrible habit of having N+M concurrent shrinker executions (N = num CPUs, M = num kswapds) all trying to shrink the same cache. When the cache they are all working on is protected by a single spinlock, massive contention an slowdowns occur. Wrap the per-ag inode caches with a reclaim mutex to serialise reclaim access to the AG. This will block concurrent reclaim in each AG but still allow reclaim to scan multiple AGs concurrently. Allow shrinkers to move on to the next AG if it can't get the lock, and if we can't get any AG, then start blocking on locks. To prevent reclaimers from continually scanning the same inodes in each AG, add a cursor that tracks where the last reclaim got up to and start from that point on the next reclaim. This should avoid only ever scanning a small number of inodes at the satart of each AG and not making progress. If we have a non-shrinker based reclaim pass, ignore the cursor and reset it to zero once we are done. Signed-off-by: Dave Chinner <dchinner@redhat.com> Reviewed-by: Alex Elder <aelder@sgi.com>

2010-10-18xfs: don't use vfs writeback for pure metadata modificationsDave Chinner
Under heavy multi-way parallel create workloads, the VFS struggles to write back all the inodes that have been changed in age order. The bdi flusher thread becomes CPU bound, spending 85% of it's time in the VFS code, mostly traversing the superblock dirty inode list to separate dirty inodes old enough to flush. We already keep an index of all metadata changes in age order - in the AIL - and continued log pressure will do age ordered writeback without any extra overhead at all. If there is no pressure on the log, the xfssyncd will periodically write back metadata in ascending disk address offset order so will be very efficient. Hence we can stop marking VFS inodes dirty during transaction commit or when changing timestamps during transactions. This will keep the inodes in the superblock dirty list to those containing data or unlogged metadata changes. However, the timstamp changes are slightly more complex than this - there are a couple of places that do unlogged updates of the timestamps, and the VFS need to be informed of these. Hence add a new function xfs_trans_ichgtime() for transactional changes, and leave xfs_ichgtime() for the non-transactional changes.

That is, it becomes the highest contended lock in the system. The perag lookup is trivial to convert to lock-less RCU lookups because perag structures never go away. Hence the only thing we need to protect against is tree structure changes during a grow. This can be done simply by replacing the locking in xfs_perag_get() with RCU read locking.

2010-10-06xfs: properly account for reclaimed inodesJohannes Weiner
When marking an inode reclaimable, a per-AG counter is increased, the inode is tagged reclaimable in its per-AG tree, and, when this is the first reclaimable inode in the AG, the AG entry in the per-mount tree is also tagged. When an inode is finally reclaimed, however, it is only deleted from the per-AG tree. Neither the counter is decreased, nor is the parent tree's AG entry untagged properly. Since the tags in the per-mount tree are not cleared, the inode shrinker iterates over all AGs that have had reclaimable inodes at one point in time. The counters on the other hand signal an increasing amount of slab objects to reclaim. Since "70e60ce xfs: convert inode shrinker to per-filesystem context" this is not a real issue anymore because the shrinker bails out after one iteration. But the problem was observable on a machine running v2.6.34, where the reclaimable work increased and each process going into direct reclaim eventually got stuck on the xfs inode shrinking path, trying to scan several million objects. Fix this by properly unwinding the reclaimable-state tracking of an inode when it is reclaimed.

2010-09-10xfs: log IO completion workqueue is a high priority queueDave Chinner
The workqueue implementation in 2.6.36-rcX has changed, resulting in the workqueues no longer having dedicated threads for work processing. This has caused severe livelocks under heavy parallel create workloads because the log IO completions have been getting held up behind metadata IO completions. Hence log commits would stall, memory allocation would stall because pages could not be cleaned, and lock contention on the AIL during inode IO completion processing was being seen to slow everything down even further. By making the log Io completion workqueue a high priority workqueue, they are queued ahead of all data/metadata IO completions and processed before the data/metadata completions. Hence the log never gets stalled, and operations needed to clean memory can continue as quickly as possible. This avoids the livelock conditions and allos the system to keep running under heavy load as per normal.

So in the worst case, if 'out' vector looks like [hole, extent, hole, extent, hole, ... hole, extent, hole], we will only return half of fi_extent_max extents. This patch add a new parameter BMV_IF_NO_HOLES for bvm_iflags. So with this flags, we don't use our 'out' in xfs_getbmap for a hole. The solution is a bit ugly by just don't increasing index of 'out' vector. I felt that it is not easy to skip it at the very beginning since we have the complicated check and some function like xfs_getbmapx_fix_eof_hole to adjust 'out'.

2010-09-02xfs: Disallow 32bit project quota idArkadiusz Mi?kiewicz
Currently on-disk structure is able to keep only 16bit project quota id, so disallow 32bit ones. This fixes a problem where parts of kernel structures holding project quota id are 32bit while parts (on-disk) are 16bit variables which causes project quota member files to be inaccessible for some operations (like mv/rm).

2010-09-02xfs: improve buffer cache hash scalabilityDave Chinner
When doing large parallel file creates on a 16p machines, large amounts of time is being spent in _xfs_buf_find(). A system wide profile with perf top shows this: 1134740.00 19.3% _xfs_buf_find 733142.00 12.5% __ticket_spin_lock The problem is that the hash contains 45,000 buffers, and the hash table width is only 256 buffers. That means we've got around 200 buffers per chain, and searching it is quite expensive. The hash table size needs to increase. Secondly, every time we do a lookup, we promote the buffer we find to the head of the hash chain. This is causing cachelines to be dirtied and causes invalidation of cachelines across all CPUs that may have walked the hash chain recently. hence every walk of the hash chain is effectively a cold cache walk. Remove the promotion to avoid this invalidation. The results are: 1045043.00 21.2% __ticket_spin_lock 326184.00 6.6% _xfs_buf_find A 70% drop in the CPU usage when looking up buffers. Unfortunately that does not result in an increase in performance underthis workload as contention on the inode_lock soaks up most of the reduction in CPU usage.

2010-08-24xfs: do not discard page cache data on EAGAINChristoph Hellwig
If xfs_map_blocks returns EAGAIN because of lock contention we must redirty the page and not disard the pagecache content and return an error from writepage. We used to do this correctly, but the logic got lost during the recent reshuffle of the writepage code.
