2009-05-14Btrfs: remove some WARN_ONs in the IO failure pathChris Mason
These debugging WARN_ONs make too much console noise during regular IO failures. An IO failure will still generate a number of messages as we verify checksums etc, but these two are not needed. Signed-off-by: Chris Mason <chris.mason@oracle.com>
2009-05-14Btrfs: Don't loop forever on metadata IO failuresChris Mason
When a btrfs metadata read fails, the first thing we try to do is find a good copy on another mirror of the block. If this fails, read_tree_block() ends up returning a buffer that isn't up to date. The btrfs btree reading code was reworked to drop locks and repeat the search when IO was done, but the changes didn't add a check for failed reads. The end result was looping forever on buffers that were never going to become up to date. Signed-off-by: Chris Mason <chris.mason@oracle.com>
2009-05-14Btrfs: init inode ordered_data_close flag properlyChris Mason
This flag is used to decide when we need to send a given file through the ordered code to make sure it is fully written before a transaction commits. It was not being properly set to zero when the inode was being setup. Signed-off-by: Chris Mason <chris.mason@oracle.com>
2009-04-27Btrfs: look for acls during btrfs_read_locked_inodeChris Mason
This changes btrfs_read_locked_inode() to peek ahead in the btree for acl items. If it is certain a given inode has no acls, it will set the in memory acl fields to null to avoid acl lookups completely. Signed-off-by: Chris Mason <chris.mason@oracle.com>
2009-04-27Btrfs: fix acl cachingChris Mason
Linus noticed the btrfs code to cache acls wasn't properly caching a NULL acl when the inode didn't have any acls. This meant the common case of no acls resulted in expensive btree searches every time the kernel checked permissions (which is quite often). This is a modified version of Linus' original patch: Properly set initial acl fields to BTRFS_ACL_NOT_CACHED in the inode. This forces an acl lookup when permission checks are done. Fix btrfs_get_acl to avoid lookups and locking when the inode acls fields are set to null. Fix btrfs_get_acl to use the right return value from __btrfs_getxattr when deciding to cache a NULL acl. It was storing a NULL acl when __btrfs_getxattr return -ENOENT, but __btrfs_getxattr was actually returning -ENODATA for this case. Signed-off-by: Chris Mason <chris.mason@oracle.com>

2009-04-27Btrfs: Fix a trivial warning using max() of u64 vs ULL.Joel Becker
A small warning popped up on ia64 because inode-map.c was comparing a u64 object id with the ULL FIRST_FREE_OBJECTID. My first thought was that all the OBJECTID constants should contain the u64 cast because btrfs code deals entirely in u64s. But then I saw how large that was, and figured I'd just fix the max() call.

Previously, we updated a device's size prior to attempting a shrink operation. This patch moves the device resizing logic to only happen if the shrink completes successfully.

2009-04-24Btrfs: fix deadlocks and stalls on dead root removalChris Mason
After a transaction commit, the old root of the subvol btrees are sent through snapshot removal. This is what actually frees up any blocks replaced by COW, and anything the old blocks pointed to. Snapshot deletion will pause when a transaction commit has started, which helps to avoid a huge amount of delayed reference count updates piling up as the transaction is trying to close. But, this pause happens after the snapshot deletion process has asked other procs on the system to throttle back a bit so that it can make progress. We don't want to throttle everyone while we're waiting for the transaction commit, it leads to deadlocks in the user transaction ioctls used by Ceph and makes things slower in general. This patch changes things to avoid the throttling while we sleep. Signed-off-by: Chris Mason <chris.mason@oracle.com>
2009-04-24Btrfs: fix fallocate deadlock on inode extent lockChris Mason
The btrfs fallocate call takes an extent lock on the entire range being fallocated, and then runs through insert_reserved_extent on each extent as they are allocated. The problem with this is that btrfs_drop_extents may decide to try and take the same extent lock fallocate was already holding. The solution used here is to push down knowledge of the range that is already locked going into btrfs_drop_extents. It turns out that at least one other caller had the same bug.

2009-04-24Btrfs: try to keep a healthy ratio of metadata vs data block groupsJosef Bacik
This patch makes the chunk allocator keep a good ratio of metadata vs data block groups. By default for every 8 data block groups, we'll allocate 1 metadata chunk, or about 12% of the disk will be allocated for metadata. This can be changed by specifying the metadata_ratio mount option. This is simply the number of data block groups that have to be allocated to force a metadata chunk allocation. By making sure we allocate metadata chunks more often, we are less likely to get into situations where the whole disk has been allocated as data block groups.

2009-04-21Btrfs: fix btrfs fallocate oops and deadlockChris Mason
Btrfs fallocate was incorrectly starting a transaction with a lock held on the extent_io tree for the file, which could deadlock. Strictly speaking it was using join_transaction which would be safe, but it is better to move the transaction outside of the lock. When preallocated extents are overwritten, btrfs_mark_buffer_dirty was being called on an unlocked buffer. This was triggering an assertion and oops because the lock is supposed to be held. The bug was calling btrfs_mark_buffer_dirty on a leaf after btrfs_del_item had been run. btrfs_del_item takes care of dirtying things, so the solution is a to skip the btrfs_mark_buffer_dirty call in this case. Signed-off-by: Chris Mason <chris.mason@oracle.com>
2009-04-20Btrfs: use the right node in reada_for_balanceChris Mason
reada_for_balance was using the wrong index into the path node array, so it wasn't reading the right blocks. We never directly used the results of the read done by this function because the btree search is started over at the end. This fixes reada_for_balance to reada in the correct node and to avoid searching past the last slot in the node. It also makes sure to hold the parent lock while we are finding the nodes to read. Signed-off-by: Chris Mason <chris.mason@oracle.com>
2009-04-20Btrfs: fix oops on page->mapping->host during writepageChris Mason
The extent_io writepage call updates the writepage index in the inode as it makes progress. But, it was doing the update after unlocking the page, which isn't legal because page->mapping can't be trusted once the page is unlocked. This lead to an oops, especially common with compression turned on. The fix here is to update the writeback index before unlocking the page. Signed-off-by: Chris Mason <chris.mason@oracle.com>
2009-04-20Btrfs: add a priority queue to the async thread helpersChris Mason
Btrfs is using WRITE_SYNC_PLUG to send down synchronous IOs with a higher priority. But, the checksumming helper threads prevent it from being fully effective. There are two problems. First, a big queue of pending checksumming will delay the synchronous IO behind other lower priority writes. Second, the checksumming uses an ordered async work queue. The ordering makes sure that IOs are sent to the block layer in the same order they are sent to the checksumming threads. Usually this gives us less seeky IO. But, when we start mixing IO priorities, the lower priority IO can delay the higher priority IO. This patch solves both problems by adding a high priority list to the async helper threads, and a new btrfs_set_work_high_prio(), which is used to make put a new async work item onto the higher priority list. The ordering is still done on high priority IO, but all of the high priority bios are ordered separately from the low priority bios. This ordering is purely an IO optimization, it is not involved in data or metadata integrity. Signed-off-by: Chris Mason <chris.mason@oracle.com>
2009-04-20Btrfs: use WRITE_SYNC for synchronous writesChris Mason
Part of reducing fsync/O_SYNC/O_DIRECT latencies is using WRITE_SYNC for writes we plan on waiting on in the near future. This patch mirrors recent changes in other filesystems and the generic code to use WRITE_SYNC when WB_SYNC_ALL is passed and to use WRITE_SYNC for other latency critical writes. Btrfs uses async worker threads for checksumming before the write is done, and then again to actually submit the bios. The bio submission code just runs a per-device list of bios that need to be sent down the pipe. This list is split into low priority and high priority lists so the WRITE_SYNC IO happens first.

2009-04-13ext2: fix data corruption for racing writesJan Kara
If two writers allocating blocks to file race with each other (e.g. because writepages races with ordinary write or two writepages race with each other), ext2_getblock() can be called on the same inode in parallel. Before we are going to allocate new blocks, we have to recheck the block chain we have obtained so far without holding truncate_mutex. Otherwise we could overwrite the indirect block pointer set by the other writer leading to data loss. The below test program by Ying is able to reproduce the data loss with ext2 on in BRD in a few minutes if the machine is under memory pressure: long kMemSize = 50 << 20; int kPageSize = 4096; int main(int argc, char **argv) { int status; int count = 0; int i; char *fname = "/mnt/test.mmap"; char *mem; unlink(fname); int fd = open(fname, O_CREAT | O_EXCL | O_RDWR, 0600); status = ftruncate(fd, kMemSize); mem = mmap(0, kMemSize, PROT_READ | PROT_WRITE, MAP_SHARED, fd, 0); // Fill the memory with 1s. memset(mem, 1, kMemSize); sleep(2); for (i = 0; i < kMemSize; i++) { int byte_good = mem[i] != 0; if (!byte_good && ((i % kPageSize) == 0)) { //printf("%d ", i / kPageSize); count++; } } munmap(mem, kMemSize); close(fd); unlink(fname); if (count > 0) { printf("Running %d bad page\n", count); return 1; } return 0; } Cc: Ying Han <yinghan@google.com> Cc: Nick Piggin <nickpiggin@yahoo.com.au> Signed-off-by: Jan Kara <jack@suse.cz> Cc: Mingming Cao <cmm@us.ibm.com> Cc: <linux-ext4@vger.kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

2009-04-07splice: fix deadlock in splicing to fileMiklos Szeredi
There's a possible deadlock in generic_file_splice_write(), splice_from_pipe() and ocfs2_file_splice_write(): - task A calls generic_file_splice_write() - this calls inode_double_lock(), which locks i_mutex on both pipe->inode and target inode - ordering depends on inode pointers, can happen that pipe->inode is locked first - __splice_from_pipe() needs more data, calls pipe_wait() - this releases lock on pipe->inode, goes to interruptible sleep - task B calls generic_file_splice_write(), similarly to the first - this locks pipe->inode, then tries to lock inode, but that is already held by task A - task A is interrupted, it tries to lock pipe->inode, but fails, as it is already held by task B - ABBA deadlock Fix this by explicitly ordering locks: the outer lock must be on target inode and the inner lock (which is later unlocked and relocked) must be on pipe->inode. This is OK, pipe inodes and target inodes form two nonoverlapping sets, generic_file_splice_write() and friends are not called with a target which is a pipe.

2009-04-07nilfs2: support nanosecond timestampRyusuke Konishi
After a review of user's feedback for finding out other compatibility issues, I found nilfs improperly initializes timestamps in inode; CURRENT_TIME was used there instead of CURRENT_TIME_SEC even though nilfs didn't have nanosecond timestamps on disk. A few users gave us the report that the tar program sometimes failed to expand symbolic links on nilfs, and it turned out to be the cause. Instead of applying the above displacement, I've decided to support nanosecond timestamps on this occation. Fortunetaly, a needless 64-bit field was in the nilfs_inode struct, and I found it's available for this purpose without impact for the users. So, this will do the enhancement and resolve the tar problem.
