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.

2015-03-13fs: split generic and aio kiocbChristoph Hellwig
Most callers in the kernel want to perform synchronous file I/O, but still have to bloat the stack with a full struct kiocb. Split out the parts needed in filesystem code from those in the aio code, and only allocate those needed to pass down argument on the stack. The aio code embedds the generic iocb in the one it allocates and can easily get back to it by using container_of. Also add a ->ki_complete method to struct kiocb, this is used to call into the aio code and thus removes the dependency on aio for filesystems impementing asynchronous operations. It will also allow other callers to substitute their own completion callback. We also add a new ->ki_flags field to work around the nasty layering violation recently introduced in commit 5e33f6 ("usb: gadget: ffs: add eventfd notification about ffs events").

2014-09-27fuse: honour max_read and max_write in direct_io modeMiklos Szeredi
The third argument of fuse_get_user_pages() "nbytesp" refers to the number of bytes a caller asked to pack into fuse request. This value may be lesser than capacity of fuse request or iov_iter. So fuse_get_user_pages() must ensure that *nbytesp won't grow. Now, when helper iov_iter_get_pages() performs all hard work of extracting pages from iov_iter, it can be done by passing properly calculated "maxsize" to the helper. The other caller of iov_iter_get_pages() (dio_refill_pages()) doesn't need this capability, so pass LONG_MAX as the maxsize argument here.

2013-09-04direct-io: Implement generic deferred AIO completionsChristoph Hellwig
Add support to the core direct-io code to defer AIO completions to user context using a workqueue. This replaces opencoded and less efficient code in XFS and ext4 (we save a memory allocation for each direct IO) and will be needed to properly support O_(D)SYNC for AIO. The communication between the filesystem and the direct I/O code requires a new buffer head flag, which is a bit ugly but not avoidable until the direct I/O code stops abusing the buffer_head structure for communicating with the filesystems. Currently this creates a per-superblock unbound workqueue for these completions, which is taken from an earlier patch by Jan Kara. I'm not really convinced about this use and would prefer a "normal" global workqueue with a high concurrency limit, but this needs further discussion.

Currently, dio_send_cur_page() submits bio before current page and cached sdio->cur_page is added to the bio if sdio->boundary is set.

2013-04-29direct-io: fix boundary block handlingJan Kara
When we read/write a file sequentially, we will read/write not only the data blocks but also the indirect blocks that may not be physically adjacent to the data blocks. So filesystems set the BH_Boundary flag to submit the previous I/O before reading/writing an indirect block. However the generic direct IO code mishandles buffer_boundary(), setting sdio->boundary before each submit_page_section() call which results in sending only one page bios as underlying code thinks this page is the last in the contiguous extent. So fix the problem by setting sdio->boundary only if the current page is really the last one in the mapped extent. With this patch and "direct-io: submit bio after boundary buffer is added to it" I've measured about 10% throughput improvement of direct IO reads on ext3 with SATA harddrive (from 90 MB/s to 100 MB/s). With ramdisk, the improvement was about 3-fold (from 350 MB/s to 1.2 GB/s). For other filesystems (such as ext4), the improvements won't be as visible because the frequency of BH_Boundary flag being set is much smaller.

2013-03-23block: Convert some code to bio_for_each_segment_all()Kent Overstreet
More prep work for immutable bvecs: A few places in the code were either open coding or using the wrong version - fix. After we introduce the bvec iter, it'll no longer be possible to modify the biovec through bio_for_each_segment_all() - it doesn't increment a pointer to the current bvec, you pass in a struct bio_vec (not a pointer) which is updated with what the current biovec would be (taking into account bi_bvec_done and bi_size). So because of that it's more worthwhile to be consistent about bio_for_each_segment()/bio_for_each_segment_all() usage.

With kernel 3.1, Christoph removed i_alloc_sem and replaced it with calls (namely inode_dio_wait() and inode_dio_done()) which are EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL() thus they cannot be used by non-GPL file systems and further inode_dio_wait() was pushed from notify_change() into the file system ->setattr() method but no non-GPL file system can make this call. That means non-GPL file systems cannot exist any more unless they do not use any VFS functionality related to reading/writing as far as I can tell or at least as long as they want to implement direct i/o. Both Linus and Al (and others) have said on LKML that this breakage of the VFS API should not have happened and that the change was simply missed as it was not documented in the change logs of the patches that did those changes. This patch changes the two function exports in question to be EXPORT_SYMBOL() thus restoring the VFS API as it used to be - accessible for all modules. Christoph, who introduced the two functions and exported them GPL-only is CC-ed on this patch to give him the opportunity to object to the symbols being changed in this manner if he did indeed intend them to be GPL-only and does not want them to become available to all modules.

2012-01-13dio: optimize cache misses in the submission pathAndi Kleen
Some investigation of a transaction processing workload showed that a major consumer of cycles in __blockdev_direct_IO is the cache miss while accessing the block size. This is because it has to walk the chain from block_dev to gendisk to queue. The block size is needed early on to check alignment and sizes. It's only done if the check for the inode block size fails. But the costly block device state is unconditionally fetched. - Reorganize the code to only fetch block dev state when actually needed. Then do a prefetch on the block dev early on in the direct IO path. This is worth it, because there is substantial code run before we actually touch the block dev now. - I also added some unlikelies to make it clear the compiler that block device fetch code is not normally executed. This gave a small, but measurable improvement on a large database benchmark (about 0.3%) [akpm@linux-foundation.org: coding-style fixes] [sfr@canb.auug.org.au: using prefetch requires including prefetch.h] Signed-off-by: Andi Kleen <ak@linux.intel.com> Cc: Jeff Moyer <jmoyer@redhat.com> Cc: Jens Axboe <axboe@kernel.dk> Cc: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de> Signed-off-by: Stephen Rothwell <sfr@canb.auug.org.au> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
2012-01-13fs/direct-io.c: calculate fs_count correctly in get_more_blocks()Tao Ma
In get_more_blocks(), we use dio_count to calcuate fs_count and do some tricky things to increase fs_count if dio_count isn't aligned. But actually it still has some corner cases that can't be coverd. See the following example: dio_write foo -s 1024 -w 4096 (direct write 4096 bytes at offset 1024). The same goes if the offset isn't aligned to fs_blocksize. In this case, the old calculation counts fs_count to be 1, but actually we will write into 2 different blocks (if fs_blocksize=4096). The old code just works, since it will call get_block twice (and may have to allocate and create extents twice for filesystems like ext4). So we'd better call get_block just once with the proper fs_count.

2011-10-28direct-io: inline the complete submission pathAndi Kleen
Add inlines to all the submission path functions. While this increases code size it also gives gcc a lot of optimization opportunities in this critical hotpath. In particular -- together with some other changes -- this allows gcc to get rid of the unnecessary clearing of sdio at the beginning and optimize the messy parameter passing. Any non inlining of a function which takes a sdio parameter would break this optimization because they cannot be done if the address of a structure is taken. Note that benefits are only seen with CONFIG_OPTIMIZE_INLINING and CONFIG_CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_SIZE both set to off. This gives about 2.2% improvement on a large database benchmark with a high IOPS rate.

2011-10-28direct-io: separate map_bh from dioAndi Kleen
Only a single b_private field in the map_bh buffer head is needed after the submission path. Move map_bh separately to avoid storing this information in the long term slab.

2011-10-28direct-io: separate fields only used in the submission path from struct dioAndi Kleen
This large, but largely mechanic, patch moves all fields in struct dio that are only used in the submission path into a separate on stack data structure. This has the advantage that the memory is very likely cache hot, which is not guaranteed for memory fresh out of kmalloc. This also gives gcc more optimization potential because it can easier determine that there are no external aliases for these variables. The sdio initialization is a initialization now instead of memset. This allows gcc to break sdio into individual fields and optimize away unnecessary zeroing (after all the functions are inlined) Signed-off-by: Andi Kleen <ak@linux.intel.com> Acked-by: Jeff Moyer <jmoyer@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de>

2011-07-21fs: move inode_dio_done to the end_io handlerChristoph Hellwig
For filesystems that delay their end_io processing we should keep our i_dio_count until the the processing is done. Enable this by moving the inode_dio_done call to the end_io handler if one exist. Note that the actual move to the workqueue for ext4 and XFS is not done in this patch yet, but left to the filesystem maintainers. At least for XFS it's not needed yet either as XFS has an internal equivalent to i_dio_count. Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de> Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>
2011-07-21fs: always maintain i_dio_countChristoph Hellwig
Maintain i_dio_count for all filesystems, not just those using DIO_LOCKING. This these filesystems to also protect truncate against direct I/O requests by using common code. Right now the only non-DIO_LOCKING filesystem that appears to do so is XFS, which uses an opencoded variant of the i_dio_count scheme. Behaviour doesn't change for filesystems never calling inode_dio_wait. For ext4 behaviour changes when using the dioread_nonlock option, which previously was missing any protection between truncate and direct I/O reads. For ocfs2 that handcrafted i_dio_count manipulations are replaced with the common code now enable. Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de> Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>
2011-07-21fs: kill i_alloc_semChristoph Hellwig
i_alloc_sem is a rather special rw_semaphore. It's the last one that may be released by a non-owner, and it's write side is always mirrored by real exclusion. It's intended use it to wait for all pending direct I/O requests to finish before starting a truncate. Replace it with a hand-grown construct: - exclusion for truncates is already guaranteed by i_mutex, so it can simply fall way - the reader side is replaced by an i_dio_count member in struct inode that counts the number of pending direct I/O requests. Truncate can't proceed as long as it's non-zero - when i_dio_count reaches non-zero we wake up a pending truncate using wake_up_bit on a new bit in i_flags - new references to i_dio_count can't appear while we are waiting for it to read zero because the direct I/O count always needs i_mutex (or an equivalent like XFS's i_iolock) for starting a new operation. This scheme is much simpler, and saves the space of a spinlock_t and a struct list_head in struct inode (typically 160 bits on a non-debug 64-bit system).

When using devices that support max_segments > BIO_MAX_PAGES (256), direct IO tries to allocate a bio with more pages than allowed, which leads to an oops in dio_bio_alloc().
