2015-04-24direct-io: only inc/dec inode->i_dio_count for file systemsJens Axboe
do_blockdev_direct_IO() increments and decrements the inode ->i_dio_count for each IO operation. It does this to protect against truncate of a file. Block devices don't need this sort of protection. For a capable multiqueue setup, this atomic int is the only shared state between applications accessing the device for O_DIRECT, and it presents a scaling wall for that. In my testing, as much as 30% of system time is spent incrementing and decrementing this value. A mixed read/write workload improved from ~2.5M IOPS to ~9.6M IOPS, with better latencies too. Before: clat percentiles (usec): | 1.00th=[ 33], 5.00th=[ 34], 10.00th=[ 34], 20.00th=[ 34], | 30.00th=[ 34], 40.00th=[ 34], 50.00th=[ 35], 60.00th=[ 35], | 70.00th=[ 35], 80.00th=[ 35], 90.00th=[ 37], 95.00th=[ 80], | 99.00th=[ 98], 99.50th=[ 151], 99.90th=[ 155], 99.95th=[ 155], | 99.99th=[ 165] After: clat percentiles (usec): | 1.00th=[ 95], 5.00th=[ 108], 10.00th=[ 129], 20.00th=[ 149], | 30.00th=[ 155], 40.00th=[ 161], 50.00th=[ 167], 60.00th=[ 171], | 70.00th=[ 177], 80.00th=[ 185], 90.00th=[ 201], 95.00th=[ 270], | 99.00th=[ 390], 99.50th=[ 398], 99.90th=[ 418], 99.95th=[ 422], | 99.99th=[ 438] In other setups, Robert Elliott reported seeing good performance improvements: https://lkml.org/lkml/2015/4/3/557 The more applications accessing the device, the worse it gets. Add a new direct-io flags, DIO_SKIP_DIO_COUNT, which tells do_blockdev_direct_IO() that it need not worry about incrementing or decrementing the inode i_dio_count for this caller.

2015-01-20block_dev: only write bdev inode on closeChristoph Hellwig
Since 018a17bdc865 ("bdi: reimplement bdev_inode_switch_bdi()") the block device code writes out all dirty data whenever switching the backing_dev_info for a block device inode. But a block device inode can only be dirtied when it is in use, which means we only have to write it out on the final blkdev_put, but not when doing a blkdev_get. Factoring out the write out from the bdi list switch prepares from removing the list switch later in the series.

2014-11-17fs: add freeze_super/thaw_super fs hooksBenjamin Marzinski
Currently, freezing a filesystem involves calling freeze_super, which locks sb->s_umount and then calls the fs-specific freeze_fs hook. This makes it hard for gfs2 (and potentially other cluster filesystems) to use the vfs freezing code to do freezes on all the cluster nodes. In order to communicate that a freeze has been requested, and to make sure that only one node is trying to freeze at a time, gfs2 uses a glock (sd_freeze_gl). The problem is that there is no hook for gfs2 to acquire this lock before calling freeze_super. This means that two nodes can attempt to freeze the filesystem by both calling freeze_super, acquiring the sb->s_umount lock, and then attempting to grab the cluster glock sd_freeze_gl. Only one will succeed, and the other will be stuck in freeze_super, making it impossible to finish freezing the node. To solve this problem, this patch adds the freeze_super and thaw_super hooks. If a filesystem implements these hooks, they are called instead of the vfs freeze_super and thaw_super functions. This means that every filesystem that implements these hooks must call the vfs freeze_super and thaw_super functions itself within the hook function to make use of the vfs freezing code.

2014-10-31Return short read or 0 at end of a raw device, not EIODavid Jeffery
Author: David Jeffery <djeffery@redhat.com> Changes to the basic direct I/O code have broken the raw driver when reading to the end of a raw device. Instead of returning a short read for a read that extends partially beyond the device's end or 0 when at the end of the device, these reads now return EIO. The raw driver needs the same end of device handling as was added for normal block devices. Using blkdev_read_iter, which has the needed size checks, prevents the EIO conditions at the end of the device.

2014-10-10block_dev: implement readpages() to optimize sequential readAkinobu Mita
Sequential read from a block device is expected to be equal or faster than from the file on a filesystem. But it is not correct due to the lack of effective readpages() in the address space operations for block device. This implements readpages() operation for block device by using mpage_readpages() which can create multipage BIOs instead of BIOs for each page and reduce system CPU time consumption. Install 1GB of RAM disk storage: # modprobe scsi_debug dev_size_mb=1024 delay=0 Sequential read from file on a filesystem: # mkfs.ext4 /dev/$DEV # mount /dev/$DEV /mnt # fio --name=t --size=512m --rw=read --filename=/mnt/file ... read : io=524288KB, bw=2133.4MB/s, iops=546133, runt= 240msec Sequential read from a block device: # fio --name=t --size=512m --rw=read --filename=/dev/$DEV ...

2014-09-08bdi: reimplement bdev_inode_switch_bdi()Tejun Heo
A block_device may be attached to different gendisks and thus different bdis over time. bdev_inode_switch_bdi() is used to switch the associated bdi. The function assumes that the inode could be dirty and transfers it between bdis if so. This is a bit nasty in that it reaches into bdi internals. This patch reimplements the function so that it writes out the inode if dirty. This is a lot simpler and can be implemented without exposing bdi internals.

2014-09-08block, bdi: an active gendisk always has a request_queue associated with itTejun Heo
bdev_get_queue() returns the request_queue associated with the specified block_device. blk_get_backing_dev_info() makes use of bdev_get_queue() to determine the associated bdi given a block_device. All the callers of bdev_get_queue() including blk_get_backing_dev_info() assume that bdev_get_queue() may return NULL and implement NULL handling; however, bdev_get_queue() requires the passed in block_device is opened and attached to its gendisk. Because an active gendisk always has a valid request_queue associated with it, bdev_get_queue() can never return NULL and neither can blk_get_backing_dev_info(). Make it clear that neither of the two functions can return NULL and remove NULL handling from all the callers.

2014-04-03mm + fs: store shadow entries in page cacheJohannes Weiner
Reclaim will be leaving shadow entries in the page cache radix tree upon evicting the real page. As those pages are found from the LRU, an iput() can lead to the inode being freed concurrently. At this point, reclaim must no longer install shadow pages because the inode freeing code needs to ensure the page tree is really empty. Add an address_space flag, AS_EXITING, that the inode freeing code sets under the tree lock before doing the final truncate. Reclaim will check for this flag before installing shadow pages.

2013-07-09writeback: Do not sort b_io list only because of block device inodeJan Kara
It is very likely that block device inode will be part of BDI dirty list as well. However it doesn't make sence to sort inodes on the b_io list just because of this inode (as it contains buffers all over the device anyway). So save some CPU cycles which is valuable since we hold relatively contented wb->list_lock. Signed-off-by: Jan Kara <jack@suse.cz>
2013-07-03mm: vmscan: take page buffers dirty and locked state into accountMel Gorman
Page reclaim keeps track of dirty and under writeback pages and uses it to determine if wait_iff_congested() should stall or if kswapd should begin writing back pages. This fails to account for buffer pages that can be under writeback but not PageWriteback which is the case for filesystems like ext3 ordered mode. Furthermore, PageDirty buffer pages can have all the buffers clean and writepage does no IO so it should not be accounted as congested. This patch adds an address_space operation that filesystems may optionally use to check if a page is really dirty or really under writeback. An implementation is provided for for buffer_heads is added and used for block operations and ext3 in ordered mode. By default the page flags are obeyed. Credit goes to Jan Kara for identifying that the page flags alone are not sufficient for ext3 and sanity checking a number of ideas on how the problem could be addressed.

2013-06-28writeback: Fix periodic writeback after fs mountJan Kara
Code in blkdev.c moves a device inode to default_backing_dev_info when the last reference to the device is put and moves the device inode back to its bdi when the first reference is acquired. This includes moving to wb.b_dirty list if the device inode is dirty. The code however doesn't setup timer to wake corresponding flusher thread and while wb.b_dirty list is non-empty __mark_inode_dirty() will not set it up either. Thus periodic writeback is effectively disabled until a sync(2) call which can lead to unexpected data loss in case of crash or power failure. Fix the problem by setting up a timer for periodic writeback in case we add the first dirty inode to wb.b_dirty list in bdev_inode_switch_bdi().

2013-04-01loop: prevent bdev freeing while device in useAnatol Pomozov
struct block_device lifecycle is defined by its inode (see fs/block_dev.c) - block_device allocated first time we access /dev/loopXX and deallocated on bdev_destroy_inode. When we create the device "losetup /dev/loopXX afile" we want that block_device stay alive until we destroy the loop device with "losetup -d". But because we do not hold /dev/loopXX inode its counter goes 0, and inode/bdev can be destroyed at any moment. Usually it happens at memory pressure or when user drops inode cache (like in the test below). When later in loop_clr_fd() we want to use bdev we have use-after-free error with following stack: BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000280 bd_set_size+0x10/0xa0 loop_clr_fd+0x1f8/0x420 [loop] lo_ioctl+0x200/0x7e0 [loop] lo_compat_ioctl+0x47/0xe0 [loop] compat_blkdev_ioctl+0x341/0x1290 do_filp_open+0x42/0xa0 compat_sys_ioctl+0xc1/0xf20 do_sys_open+0x16e/0x1d0 sysenter_dispatch+0x7/0x1a To prevent use-after-free we need to grab the device in loop_set_fd() and put it later in loop_clr_fd(). The issue is reprodusible on current Linus head and v3.3. Here is the test: dd if=/dev/zero of=loop.file bs=1M count=1 while [ true ]; do losetup /dev/loop0 loop.file echo 2 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches losetup -d /dev/loop0 done [ Doing bdgrab/bput in loop_set_fd/loop_clr_fd is safe, because every time we call loop_set_fd() we check that loop_device->lo_state is Lo_unbound and set it to Lo_bound If somebody will try to set_fd again it will get EBUSY. And if we try to loop_clr_fd() on unbound loop device we'll get ENXIO. loop_set_fd/loop_clr_fd (and any other loop ioctl) is called under loop_device->lo_ctl_mutex. ] Signed-off-by: Anatol Pomozov <anatol.pomozov@gmail.com> Cc: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
