From d17c701ce6a548a92f7f8a3cec20299465f36ee3 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Dave Chinner Date: Tue, 24 Aug 2010 11:42:52 +1000 Subject: xfs: unlock items before allowing the CIL to commit When we commit a transaction using delayed logging, we need to unlock the items in the transaciton before we unlock the CIL context and allow it to be checkpointed. If we unlock them after we release the CIl context lock, the CIL can checkpoint and complete before we free the log items. This breaks stale buffer item unlock and unpin processing as there is an implicit assumption that the unlock will occur before the unpin. Also, some log items need to store the LSN of the transaction commit in the item (inodes and EFIs) and so can race with other transaction completions if we don't prevent the CIL from checkpointing before the unlock occurs.

This change made an invalid assumption about the alignment of inodes and hence incorrectly calculated the first inode in the cluster. As a result, some inode numbers were being incorrectly considered invalid when they were actually valid. The issue was not picked up by the xfstests suite because it always runs fsr and dump (the two utilities that utilise the bulkstat interface) on cache hot inodes and hence the lookup code in the cold cache path was not sufficiently exercised to uncover this intermittent problem. Fix the issue by relaxing the btree lookup criteria and then checking if the record returned contains the inode number we are lookup for. If it we get an incorrect record, then the inode number is invalid.

Currently XFS will abort page clustering in writeback once nr_to_write drops below zero, and so for data integrity writeback we will do very inefficient page at a time allocation and IO submission for inodes with large numbers of dirty pages. Fix this by only aborting the page clustering code when wbc->nr_to_write is negative and the sync mode is WB_SYNC_NONE.

This causes the arithmetic to calculate a negative number of free inodes in user commands like df or stat -f. Since maxicount is a somewhat arbitrary number, a slight over allocation is not critical but user commands should be displayed as 0 or greater and never go negative. To do this the value in the stats buffer f_ffree is capped to never go negative.

Unfortunately we currently use the root inode in the dummy transaction, and the act of committing the transaction dirties the inode at the VFS level. As a result, the VFS writeback of the dirty inode will prevent the filesystem from idling long enough for the log covering state machine to complete. The state machine gets stuck in a loop issuing new dummy transactions to cover the log and never makes progress. To avoid this problem, the dummy transactions should not cause externally visible state changes. To ensure this occurs, make sure that dummy transactions log an unchanging field in the superblock as it's state is never propagated outside the filesystem. This allows the log covering state machine to complete successfully and the filesystem now correctly enters a fully idle state about 90s after the last modification was made.

It does this by grabing the CIL context lock exclusively, then dropping it before pushing the CIL if necessary. This causes serialisation of all log forces and pushes regardless of whether a force is necessary or not. As a result fsync heavy workloads (like dbench) can be significantly slower with delayed logging than without. To avoid this penalty, copy the current sequence from the context to the CIL structure when they are swapped. This allows us to do unlocked checks on the current sequence without having to worry about dereferencing context structures that may have already been freed. Hence we can remove the CIL context locking in the forcing code and only call into the push code if the current context matches the sequence we need to force. By passing the sequence into the push code, we can check the sequence again once we have the CIL lock held exclusive and abort if the sequence has already been pushed. This avoids a lock round-trip and unnecessary CIL pushes when we have racing push calls. The result is that the regression in dbench performance goes away - this change improves dbench performance on a ramdisk from ~2100MB/s to ~2500MB/s. This compares favourably to not using delayed logging which retuns ~2500MB/s for the same workload.

Currently that memory allocation is done while holding the CIL context lock in read mode. This means that if memory allocation takes some time (e.g. enters reclaim), we cannot push on the CIL until the allocation(s) required by formatting complete. This can stall CIL pushes for some time, and once a push is stalled so are all new transaction commits. Fix this splitting the item formatting into two steps. The first step which does the allocation and memcpy() into the allocated buffer is now done outside the CIL context lock, and only the CIL insert is done inside the CIL context lock. This avoids the stall issue.
