2014-07-15xfs: refine the allocation stack switchDave Chinner
The allocation stack switch at xfs_bmapi_allocate() has served it's purpose, but is no longer a sufficient solution to the stack usage problem we have in the XFS allocation path. Whilst the kernel stack size is now 16k, that is not a valid reason for undoing all our "keep stack usage down" modifications. What it does allow us to do is have the freedom to refine and perfect the modifications knowing that if we get it wrong it won't blow up in our faces - we have a safety net now. This is important because we still have the issue of older kernels having smaller stacks and that they are still supported and are demonstrating a wide range of different stack overflows. Red Hat has several open bugs for allocation based stack overflows from directory modifications and direct IO block allocation and these problems still need to be solved. If we can solve them upstream, then distro's won't need to bake their own unique solutions. To that end, I've observed that every allocation based stack overflow report has had a specific characteristic - it has happened during or directly after a bmap btree block split. That event requires a new block to be allocated to the tree, and so we effectively stack one allocation stack on top of another, and that's when we get into trouble. A further observation is that bmap btree block splits are much rarer than writeback allocation - over a range of different workloads I've observed the ratio of bmap btree inserts to splits ranges from 100:1 (xfstests run) to 10000:1 (local VM image server with sparse files that range in the hundreds of thousands to millions of extents). Either way, bmap btree split events are much, much rarer than allocation events. Finally, we have to move the kswapd state to the allocation workqueue work when allocation is done on behalf of kswapd. This is proving to cause significant perturbation in performance under memory pressure and appears to be generating allocation deadlock warnings under some workloads, so avoiding the use of a workqueue for the majority of kswapd writeback allocation will minimise the impact of such behaviour. Hence it makes sense to move the stack switch to xfs_btree_split() and only do it for bmap btree splits. Stack switches during allocation will be much rarer, so there won't be significant performacne overhead caused by switching stacks. The worse case stack from all allocation paths will be split, not just writeback. And the majority of memory allocations will be done in the correct context (e.g. kswapd) without causing additional latency, and so we simplify the memory reclaim interactions between processes, workqueues and kswapd. The worst stack I've been able to generate with this patch in place is 5600 bytes deep. It's very revealing because we exit XFS at: 37) 1768 64 kmem_cache_alloc+0x13b/0x170 about 1800 bytes of stack consumed, and the remaining 3800 bytes (and 36 functions) is memory reclaim, swap and the IO stack. And this occurs in the inode allocation from an open(O_CREAT) syscall, not writeback. The amount of stack being used is much less than I've previously be able to generate - fs_mark testing has been able to generate stack usage of around 7k without too much trouble; with this patch it's only just getting to 5.5k. This is primarily because the metadata allocation paths (e.g. directory blocks) are no longer causing double splits on the same stack, and hence now stack tracing is showing swapping being the worst stack consumer rather than XFS. Performance of fs_mark inode create workloads is unchanged. Performance of fs_mark async fsync workloads is consistently good with context switches reduced by around 150,000/s (30%). Performance of dbench, streaming IO and postmark is unchanged. Allocation deadlock warnings have not been seen on the workloads that generated them since adding this patch.

2013-10-23xfs: decouple log and transaction headersDave Chinner
xfs_trans.h has a dependency on xfs_log.h for a couple of structures. Most code that does transactions doesn't need to know anything about the log, but this dependency means that they have to include xfs_log.h. Decouple the xfs_trans.h and xfs_log.h header files and clean up the includes to be in dependency order. In doing this, remove the direct include of xfs_trans_reserve.h from xfs_trans.h so that we remove the dependency between xfs_trans.h and xfs_mount.h. Hence the xfs_trans.h include can be moved to the indicate the actual dependencies other header files have on it.

2013-10-23xfs: create a shared header file for format-related informationDave Chinner
All of the buffer operations structures are needed to be exported for xfs_db, so move them all to a common location rather than spreading them all over the place. They are verifying the on-disk format, so while xfs_format.h might be a good place, it is not part of the on disk format. Hence we need to create a new header file that we centralise these related definitions. Start by moving the bffer operations structures, and then also move all the other definitions that have crept into xfs_log_format.h and xfs_format.h as there was no other shared header file to put them in.

2013-06-27xfs: don't use speculative prealloc for small filesDave Chinner
Dedicated small file workloads have been seeing significant free space fragmentation causing premature inode allocation failure when large inode sizes are in use. A particular test case showed that a workload that runs to a real ENOSPC on 256 byte inodes would fail inode allocation with ENOSPC about about 80% full with 512 byte inodes, and at about 50% full with 1024 byte inodes. The same workload, when run with -o allocsize=4096 on 1024 byte inodes would run to being 100% full before giving ENOSPC. That is, no freespace fragmentation at all. The issue was caused by the specific IO pattern the application had - the framework it was using did not support direct IO, and so it was emulating it by using fadvise(DONT_NEED). The result was that the data was getting written back before the speculative prealloc had been trimmed from memory by the close(), and so small single block files were being allocated with 2 blocks, and then having one truncated away. The result was lots of small 4k free space extents, and hence each new 8k allocation would take another 8k from contiguous free space and turn it into 4k of allocated space and 4k of free space. Hence inode allocation, which requires contiguous, aligned allocation of 16k (256 byte inodes), 32k (512 byte inodes) or 64k (1024 byte inodes) can fail to find sufficiently large freespace and hence fail while there is still lots of free space available. There's a simple fix for this, and one that has precendence in the allocator code already - don't do speculative allocation unless the size of the file is larger than a certain size. In this case, that size is the minimum default preallocation size: mp->m_writeio_blocks. And to keep with the concept of being nice to people when the files are still relatively small, cap the prealloc to mp->m_writeio_blocks until the file goes over a stripe unit is size, at which point we'll fall back to the current behaviour based on the last extent size. This will effectively turn off speculative prealloc for very small files, keep preallocation low for small files, and behave as it currently does for any file larger than a stripe unit. This completely avoids the freespace fragmentation problem this particular IO pattern was causing.

2013-03-07xfs: increase prealloc size to double that of the previous extentBrian Foster
The updated speculative preallocation algorithm for handling sparse files can becomes less effective in situations with a high number of concurrent, sequential writers. The number of writers and amount of available RAM affect the writeback bandwidth slicing algorithm, which in turn affects the block allocation pattern of XFS. For example, running 32 sequential writers on a system with 32GB RAM, preallocs become fixed at a value of around 128MB (instead of steadily increasing to the 8GB maximum as sequential writes proceed). Update the speculative prealloc heuristic to base the size of the next prealloc on double the size of the preceding extent. This preserves the original aggressive speculative preallocation behavior and continues to accomodate sparse files at a slight cost of increasing the size of preallocated data regions following holes of sparse files.

2013-02-14xfs: limit speculative prealloc size on sparse filesDave Chinner
Speculative preallocation based on the current file size works well for contiguous files, but is sub-optimal for sparse files where the EOF preallocation can fill holes and result in large amounts of zeros being written when it is not necessary. The algorithm is modified to prevent EOF speculative preallocation from triggering larger allocations on IO patterns of truncate--to-zero-seek-write-seek-write-.... which results in non-sparse files for large files. This, unfortunately, is the way cp now behaves when copying sparse files and so needs to be fixed. What this code does is that it looks at the existing extent adjacent to the current EOF and if it determines that it is a hole we disable speculative preallocation altogether. To avoid the next write from doing a large prealloc, it takes the size of subsequent preallocations from the current size of the existing EOF extent. IOWs, if you leave a hole in the file, it resets preallocation behaviour to the same as if it was a zero size file. Example new behaviour: $ xfs_io -f -c "pwrite 0 31m" \ -c "pwrite 33m 1m" \ -c "pwrite 128m 1m" \ -c "fiemap -v" /mnt/scratch/blah wrote 32505856/32505856 bytes at offset 0 31 MiB, 7936 ops; 0.0000 sec (1.608 GiB/sec and 421432.7439 ops/sec) wrote 1048576/1048576 bytes at offset 34603008 1 MiB, 256 ops; 0.0000 sec (1.462 GiB/sec and 383233.5329 ops/sec) wrote 1048576/1048576 bytes at offset 134217728 1 MiB, 256 ops; 0.0000 sec (1.719 GiB/sec and 450704.2254 ops/sec) /mnt/scratch/blah: EXT: FILE-OFFSET BLOCK-RANGE TOTAL FLAGS 0: [0..65535]: 96..65631 65536 0x0 1: [65536..67583]: hole 2048 2: [67584..69631]: 67680..69727 2048 0x0 3: [69632..262143]: hole 192512 4: [262144..264191]: 262240..264287 2048 0x1 Signed-off-by: Dave Chinner <dchinner@redhat.com> Reviewed-by: Mark Tinguely <tinguely@sgi.com> Reviewed-by: Brian Foster <bfoster@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Ben Myers <bpm@sgi.com>

2012-10-17xfs: xfs_sync_data is redundant.Dave Chinner
We don't do any data writeback from XFS any more - the VFS is completely responsible for that, including for freeze. We can replace the remaining caller with a VFS level function that achieves the same thing, but without conflicting with current writeback work. This means we can remove the flush_work and xfs_flush_inodes() - the VFS functionality completely replaces the internal flush queue for doing this writeback work in a separate context to avoid stack overruns. This does have one complication - it cannot be called with page locks held. Hence move the flushing of delalloc space when ENOSPC occurs back up into xfs_file_aio_buffered_write when we don't hold any locks that will stall writeback. Unfortunately, writeback_inodes_sb_if_idle() is not sufficient to trigger delalloc conversion fast enough to prevent spurious ENOSPC whent here are hundreds of writers, thousands of small files and GBs of free RAM. Hence we need to use sync_sb_inodes() to block callers while we wait for writeback like the previous xfs_flush_inodes implementation did. That means we have to hold the s_umount lock here, but because this call can nest inside i_mutex (the parent directory in the create case, held by the VFS), we have to use down_read_trylock() to avoid potential deadlocks. In practice, this trylock will succeed on almost every attempt as unmount/remount type operations are exceedingly rare. Note: we always need to pass a count of zero to generic_file_buffered_write() as the previously written byte count. We only do this by accident before this patch by the virtue of ret always being zero when there are no errors. Make this explicit rather than needing to specifically zero ret in the ENOSPC retry case.

2012-05-14xfs: limit specualtive delalloc to maxioffsetDave Chinner
Speculative delayed allocation beyond EOF near the maximum supported file offset can result in creating delalloc extents beyond mp->m_maxioffset (8EB). These can never be trimmed during xfs_free_eof_blocks() because they are beyond mp->m_maxioffset, and that results in assert failures in xfs_fs_destroy_inode() due to delalloc blocks still being present. xfstests 071 exposes this problem.

2012-05-14xfs: use shared ilock mode for direct IO writes by defaultDave Chinner
For the direct IO write path, we only really need the ilock to be taken in exclusive mode during IO submission if we need to do extent allocation instead of all the time. Change the block mapping code to take the ilock in shared mode for the initial block mapping, and only retake it exclusively when we actually have to perform extent allocations. We were already dropping the ilock for the transaction allocation, so this doesn't introduce new race windows. Based on an earlier patch from Dave Chinner.

2012-01-17xfs: remove the i_size field in struct xfs_inodeChristoph Hellwig
There is no fundamental need to keep an in-memory inode size copy in the XFS inode. We already have the on-disk value in the dinode, and the separate in-memory copy that we need for regular files only in the XFS inode. Remove the xfs_inode i_size field and change the XFS_ISIZE macro to use the VFS inode i_size field for regular files. Switch code that was directly accessing the i_size field in the xfs_inode to XFS_ISIZE, or in cases where we are limited to regular files direct access of the VFS inode i_size field. This also allows dropping some fairly complicated code in the write path which dealt with keeping the xfs_inode i_size uptodate with the VFS i_size that is getting updated inside ->write_end. Note that we do not bother resetting the VFS i_size when truncating a file that gets freed to zero as there is no point in doing so because the VFS inode is no longer in use at this point. Just relax the assert in xfs_ifree to only check the on-disk size instead.

2011-10-11xfs: simplify xfs_trans_ijoin* againChristoph Hellwig
There is no reason to keep a reference to the inode even if we unlock it during transaction commit because we never drop a reference between the ijoin and commit. Also use this fact to merge xfs_trans_ijoin_ref back into xfs_trans_ijoin - the third argument decides if an unlock is needed now. I'm actually starting to wonder if allowing inodes to be unlocked at transaction commit really is worth the effort. The only real benefit is that they can be unlocked earlier when commiting a synchronous transactions, but that could be solved by doing the log force manually after the unlock, too.

2011-10-11xfs: introduce xfs_bmapi_read()Dave Chinner
xfs_bmapi() currently handles both extent map reading and allocation. As a result, the code is littered with "if (wr)" branches to conditionally do allocation operations if required. This makes the code much harder to follow and causes significant indent issues with the code. Given that read mapping is much simpler than allocation, we can split out read mapping from xfs_bmapi() and reuse the logic that we have already factored out do do all the hard work of handling the extent map manipulations. The results in a much simpler function for the common extent read operations, and will allow the allocation code to be simplified in another commit. Once xfs_bmapi_read() is implemented, convert all the callers of xfs_bmapi() that are only reading extents to use the new function.

2011-01-28xfs: speculative delayed allocation uses rounddown_power_of_2 badlyDave Chinner
rounddown_power_of_2() returns an undefined result when passed a value of zero. The specualtive delayed allocation code is doing this when the inode is zero length. Hence occasionally the preallocation is much, much larger than is necessary (e.g. 8GB for a 270 _byte_ file). Ensure we don't even pass a zero value to this function so the result of preallocation is always the desired size.

2011-01-04xfs: dynamic speculative EOF preallocationDave Chinner
Currently the size of the speculative preallocation during delayed allocation is fixed by either the allocsize mount option of a default size. We are seeing a lot of cases where we need to recommend using the allocsize mount option to prevent fragmentation when buffered writes land in the same AG. Rather than using a fixed preallocation size by default (up to 64k), make it dynamic by basing it on the current inode size. That way the EOF preallocation will increase as the file size increases. Hence for streaming writes we are much more likely to get large preallocations exactly when we need it to reduce fragementation. For default settings, the size of the initial extents is determined by the number of parallel writers and the amount of memory in the machine. For 4GB RAM and 4 concurrent 32GB file writes: EXT: FILE-OFFSET BLOCK-RANGE AG AG-OFFSET TOTAL 0: [0..1048575]: 1048672..2097247 0 (1048672..2097247) 1048576 1: [1048576..2097151]: 5242976..6291551 0 (5242976..6291551) 1048576 2: [2097152..4194303]: 12583008..14680159 0 (12583008..14680159) 2097152 3: [4194304..8388607]: 25165920..29360223 0 (25165920..29360223) 4194304 4: [8388608..16777215]: 58720352..67108959 0 (58720352..67108959) 8388608 5: [16777216..33554423]: 117440584..134217791 0 (117440584..134217791) 16777208 6: [33554424..50331511]: 184549056..201326143 0 (184549056..201326143) 16777088 7: [50331512..67108599]: 251657408..268434495 0 (251657408..268434495) 16777088 and for 16 concurrent 16GB file writes: EXT: FILE-OFFSET BLOCK-RANGE AG AG-OFFSET TOTAL 0: [0..262143]: 2490472..2752615 0 (2490472..2752615) 262144 1: [262144..524287]: 6291560..6553703 0 (6291560..6553703) 262144 2: [524288..1048575]: 13631592..14155879 0 (13631592..14155879) 524288 3: [1048576..2097151]: 30408808..31457383 0 (30408808..31457383) 1048576 4: [2097152..4194303]: 52428904..54526055 0 (52428904..54526055) 2097152 5: [4194304..8388607]: 104857704..109052007 0 (104857704..109052007) 4194304 6: [8388608..16777215]: 209715304..218103911 0 (209715304..218103911) 8388608 7: [16777216..33554423]: 452984848..469762055 0 (452984848..469762055) 16777208 Because it is hard to take back specualtive preallocation, cases where there are large slow growing log files on a nearly full filesystem may cause premature ENOSPC. Hence as the filesystem nears full, the maximum dynamic prealloc size іs reduced according to this table (based on 4k block size): freespace max prealloc size >5% full extent (8GB) 4-5% 2GB (8GB >> 2) 3-4% 1GB (8GB >> 3) 2-3% 512MB (8GB >> 4) 1-2% 256MB (8GB >> 5) <1% 128MB (8GB >> 6) This should reduce the amount of space held in speculative preallocation for such cases. The allocsize mount option turns off the dynamic behaviour and fixes the prealloc size to whatever the mount option specifies. i.e. the behaviour is unchanged.
