2011-06-16xfs: make log devices with write back caches workChristoph Hellwig
There's no reason not to support cache flushing on external log devices. The only thing this really requires is flushing the data device first both in fsync and log commits. A side effect is that we also have to remove the barrier write test during mount, which has been superflous since the new FLUSH+FUA code anyway. Also use the chance to flush the RT subvolume write cache before the fsync commit, which is required for correct semantics.

Tell the filesystem if we just updated timestamp (I_DIRTY_SYNC) or anything else, so that the filesystem can track internally if it needs to push out a transaction for fdatasync or not. This is just the prototype change with no user for it yet. I plan to push large XFS changes for the next merge window, and getting this trivial infrastructure in this window would help a lot to avoid tree interdependencies.

Now that we have reliably tracking of deleted extents in a transaction we can easily implement "online" discard support which calls blkdev_issue_discard once a transaction commits.

2011-05-19xfs: reset buffer pointers before freeing themDave Chinner
When we free a vmapped buffer, we need to ensure the vmap address and length we free is the same as when it was allocated. In various places in the log code we change the memory the buffer is pointing to before issuing IO, but we never reset the buffer to point back to it's original memory (or no memory, if that is the case for the buffer). As a result, when we free the buffer it points to memory that is owned by something else and attempts to unmap and free it. Because the range does not match any known mapped range, it can trigger BUG_ON() traps in the vmap code, and potentially corrupt the vmap area tracking. Fix this by always resetting these buffers to their original state before freeing them.

2011-05-19xfs: avoid getting stuck during async inode flushesDave Chinner
When the underlying inode buffer is locked and xfs_sync_inode_attr() is doing a non-blocking flush, xfs_iflush() can return EAGAIN. When this happens, clear the error rather than returning it to xfs_inode_ag_walk(), as returning EAGAIN will result in the AG walk delaying for a short while and trying again. This can result in background walks getting stuck on the one AG until inode buffer is unlocked by some other means. This behaviour was noticed when analysing event traces followed by code inspection and verification of the fix via further traces.

2011-05-09xfs: ensure reclaim cursor is reset correctly at end of AGDave Chinner
On a 32 bit highmem PowerPC machine, the XFS inode cache was growing without bound and exhausting low memory causing the OOM killer to be triggered. After some effort, the problem was reproduced on a 32 bit x86 highmem machine. The problem is that the per-ag inode reclaim index cursor was not getting reset to the start of the AG if the radix tree tag lookup found no more reclaimable inodes. Hence every further reclaim attempt started at the same index beyond where any reclaimable inodes lay, and no further background reclaim ever occurred from the AG. Without background inode reclaim the VM driven cache shrinker simply cannot keep up with cache growth, and OOM is the result. While the change that exposed the problem was the conversion of the inode reclaim to use work queues for background reclaim, it was not the cause of the bug. The bug was introduced when the cursor code was added, just waiting for some weird configuration to strike....

2011-04-28xfs: do not immediately reuse busy extent rangesChristoph Hellwig
Every time we reallocate a busy extent, we cause a synchronous log force to occur to ensure the freeing transaction is on disk before we continue and use the newly allocated extent. This is extremely sub-optimal as we have to mark every transaction with blocks that get reused as synchronous. Instead of searching the busy extent list after deciding on the extent to allocate, check each candidate extent during the allocation decisions as to whether they are in the busy list. If they are in the busy list, we trim the busy range out of the extent we have found and determine if that trimmed range is still OK for allocation. In many cases, this check can be incorporated into the allocation extent alignment code which already does trimming of the found extent before determining if it is a valid candidate for allocation.

2011-04-08xfs: push the AIL from memory reclaim and periodic syncDave Chinner
When we are short on memory, we want to expedite the cleaning of dirty objects. Hence when we run short on memory, we need to kick the AIL flushing into action to clean as many dirty objects as quickly as possible. To implement this, sample the lsn of the log item at the head of the AIL and use that as the push target for the AIL flush. Further, we keep items in the AIL that are dirty that are not tracked any other way, so we can get objects sitting in the AIL that don't get written back until the AIL is pushed. Hence to get the filesystem to the idle state, we might need to push the AIL to flush out any remaining dirty objects sitting in the AIL. This requires the same push mechanism as the reclaim push. This patch also renames xfs_trans_ail_tail() to xfs_ail_min_lsn() to match the new xfs_ail_max_lsn() function introduced in this patch. Similarly for xfs_trans_ail_push -> xfs_ail_push.

2011-04-08xfs: introduce background inode reclaim workDave Chinner
Background inode reclaim needs to run more frequently that the XFS syncd work is run as 30s is too long between optimal reclaim runs. Add a new periodic work item to the xfs syncd workqueue to run a fast, non-blocking inode reclaim scan. Background inode reclaim is kicked by the act of marking inodes for reclaim. When an AG is first marked as having reclaimable inodes, the background reclaim work is kicked. It will continue to run periodically untill it detects that there are no more reclaimable inodes. It will be kicked again when the first inode is queued for reclaim. To ensure shrinker based inode reclaim throttles to the inode cleaning and reclaim rate but still reclaim inodes efficiently, make it kick the background inode reclaim so that when we are low on memory we are trying to reclaim inodes as efficiently as possible. This kick shoul d not be necessary, but it will protect against failures to kick the background reclaim when inodes are first dirtied. To provide the rate throttling, make the shrinker pass do synchronous inode reclaim so that it blocks on inodes under IO. This means that the shrinker will reclaim inodes rather than just skipping over them, but it does not adversely affect the rate of reclaim because most dirty inodes are already under IO due to the background reclaim work the shrinker kicked. These two modifications solve one of the two OOM killer invocations Chris Mason reported recently when running a stress testing script. The particular workload trigger for the OOM killer invocation is where there are more threads than CPUs all unlinking files in an extremely memory constrained environment. Unlike other solutions, this one does not have a performance impact on performance when memory is not constrained or the number of concurrent threads operating is <= to the number of CPUs.

2011-04-08xfs: convert ENOSPC inode flushing to use new syncd workqueueDave Chinner
On of the problems with the current inode flush at ENOSPC is that we queue a flush per ENOSPC event, regardless of how many are already queued. Thi can result in hundreds of queued flushes, most of which simply burn CPU scanned and do no real work. This simply slows down allocation at ENOSPC. We really only need one active flush at a time, and we can easily implement that via the new xfs_syncd_wq. All we need to do is queue a flush if one is not already active, then block waiting for the currently active flush to complete. The result is that we only ever have a single ENOSPC inode flush active at a time and this greatly reduces the overhead of ENOSPC processing. On my 2p test machine, this results in tests exercising ENOSPC conditions running significantly faster - 042 halves execution time, 083 drops from 60s to 5s, etc - while not introducing test regressions. This allows us to remove the old xfssyncd threads and infrastructure as they are no longer used.

2011-04-08xfs: introduce a xfssyncd workqueueDave Chinner
All of the work xfssyncd does is background functionality. There is no need for a thread per filesystem to do this work - it can al be managed by a global workqueue now they manage concurrency effectively. Introduce a new gglobal xfssyncd workqueue, and convert the periodic work to use this new functionality. To do this, use a delayed work construct to schedule the next running of the periodic sync work for the filesystem. When the sync work is complete, queue a new delayed work for the next running of the sync work. For laptop mode, we wait on completion for the sync works, so ensure that the sync work queuing interface can flush and wait for work to complete to enable the work queue infrastructure to replace the current sequence number and wakeup that is used. Because the sync work does non-trivial amounts of work, mark the new work queue as CPU intensive.

2011-03-26xfs: stop using the page cache to back the buffer cacheDave Chinner
Now that the buffer cache has it's own LRU, we do not need to use the page cache to provide persistent caching and reclaim infrastructure. Convert the buffer cache to use alloc_pages() instead of the page cache. This will remove all the overhead of page cache management from setup and teardown of the buffers, as well as needing to mark pages accessed as we find buffers in the buffer cache. By avoiding the page cache, we also remove the need to keep state in the page_private(page) field for persistant storage across buffer free/buffer rebuild and so all that code can be removed. This also fixes the long-standing problem of not having enough bits in the page_private field to track all the state needed for a 512 sector/64k page setup. It also removes the need for page locking during reads as the pages are unique to the buffer and nobody else will be attempting to access them. Finally, it removes the buftarg address space lock as a point of global contention on workloads that allocate and free buffers quickly such as when creating or removing large numbers of inodes in parallel. This remove the 16TB limit on filesystem size on 32 bit machines as the page index (32 bit) is no longer used for lookups of metadata buffers - the buffer cache is now solely indexed by disk address which is stored in a 64 bit field in the buffer.

2011-03-26xfs: register the inode cache shrinker before quotachecksDave Chinner
During mount, we can do a quotacheck that involves a bulkstat pass on all inodes. If there are more inodes in the filesystem than can be held in memory, we require the inode cache shrinker to run to ensure that we don't run out of memory. Unfortunately, the inode cache shrinker is not registered until we get to the end of the superblock setup process, which is after a quotacheck is run if it is needed. Hence we need to register the inode cache shrinker earlier in the mount process so that we don't OOM during mount. This requires that we also initialise the syncd work before we register the shrinker, so we nee dto juggle that around as well. While there, make sure that we have set up the block sizes in the VFS superblock correctly before the quotacheck is run so that any inodes that are cached as a result of the quotacheck have their block size fields set up correctly.

2011-03-26xfs: introduce inode cluster buffer trylocks for xfs_iflushDave Chinner
There is an ABBA deadlock between synchronous inode flushing in xfs_reclaim_inode and xfs_icluster_free. xfs_icluster_free locks the buffer, then takes inode ilocks, whilst synchronous reclaim takes the ilock followed by the buffer lock in xfs_iflush(). To avoid this deadlock, separate the inode cluster buffer locking semantics from the synchronous inode flush semantics, allowing callers to attempt to lock the buffer but still issue synchronous IO if it can get the buffer. This requires xfs_iflush() calls that currently use non-blocking semantics to pass SYNC_TRYLOCK rather than 0 as the flags parameter. This allows xfs_reclaim_inode to avoid the deadlock on the buffer lock and detect the failure so that it can drop the inode ilock and restart the reclaim attempt on the inode. This allows xfs_ifree_cluster to obtain the inode lock, mark the inode stale and release it and hence defuse the deadlock situation. It also has the pleasant side effect of avoiding IO in xfs_reclaim_inode when it tries to next reclaim the inode as it is now marked stale.

2011-03-14exportfs: Return the minimum required handle sizeAneesh Kumar K.V
The exportfs encode handle function should return the minimum required handle size. This helps user to find out the handle size by passing 0 handle size in the first step and then redoing to the call again with the returned handle size value.

2011-03-10block: kill off REQ_UNPLUGJens Axboe
With the plugging now being explicitly controlled by the submitter, callers need not pass down unplugging hints to the block layer. If they want to unplug, it's because they manually plugged on their own - in which case, they should just unplug at will. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jaxboe@fusionio.com>
2011-03-10block: remove per-queue pluggingJens Axboe
Code has been converted over to the new explicit on-stack plugging, and delay users have been converted to use the new API for that. So lets kill off the old plugging along with aops->sync_page(). Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jaxboe@fusionio.com>

2011-03-07xfs: kill support/debug.[ch]Dave Chinner
The remaining functionality in debug.[ch] is effectively just assert handling, conditional debug definitions and hex dumping. The hex dumping and assert function can be moved into the new printk module, while the rest can be moved into top-level header files. This allows fs/xfs/support/debug.[ch] to be completely removed from the codebase.

2011-03-07xfs: Convert linux-2.6/ files to new logging interfaceDave Chinner
Convert the files in fs/xfs/linux-2.6/ to use the new xfs_<level> logging format that replaces the old Irix inherited cmn_err() interfaces. While there, also convert naked printk calls to use the relevant xfs logging function to standardise output format.

2011-03-01xfs: zero proper structure size for geometry callsAlex Elder
Commit 493f3358cb289ccf716c5a14fa5bb52ab75943e5 added this call to xfs_fs_geometry() in order to avoid passing kernel stack data back to user space: + memset(geo, 0, sizeof(*geo)); Unfortunately, one of the callers of that function passes the address of a smaller data type, cast to fit the type that xfs_fs_geometry() requires. As a result, this can happen: Kernel panic - not syncing: stack-protector: Kernel stack is corrupted in: f87aca93 Pid: 262, comm: xfs_fsr Not tainted 2.6.38-rc6-493f3358cb2+ #1 Call Trace: [<c12991ac>] ? panic+0x50/0x150 [<c102ed71>] ? __stack_chk_fail+0x10/0x18 [<f87aca93>] ? xfs_ioc_fsgeometry_v1+0x56/0x5d [xfs] Fix this by fixing that one caller to pass the right type and then copy out the subset it is interested in.

2011-03-02xfs: introduce new logging API.Dave Chinner
Most of the logging infrastructure in XFS is unneccessary and designed around the infrastructure supplied by Irix rather than Linux. To rationalise the logging interfaces, start by introducing simple printk wrappers similar to the dev_printk() infrastructure. Later patches will convert code to use this new interface.
