2016-07-12GFS2: Check rs_free with rd_rsspin protectionBob Peterson
For the last process to close a file opened for write, function gfs2_rsqa_delete was deleting the file's inode's block reservation out of the rgrp reservations tree. Then it was checking to make sure rs_free was 0, but it was performing the check outside the protection of rd_rsspin spin_lock. The rd_rsspin spin_lock protection is needed to prevent a race between the process freeing the reservation and another who is allocating a new set of blocks inside the same rgrp for the same inode, thus changing its value.

2016-06-27gfs2: Lock holder cleanupAndreas Gruenbacher
Make the code more readable by cleaning up the different ways of initializing lock holders and checking for initialized lock holders: mark lock holders as uninitialized by setting the holder's glock to NULL (gfs2_holder_mark_uninitialized) instead of zeroing out the entire object or using a separate flag. Recognize initialized holders by their non-NULL glock (gfs2_holder_initialized). Don't zero out holder objects which are immeditiately initialized via gfs2_holder_init or gfs2_glock_nq_init.

2016-06-10GFS2: don't set rgrp gl_object until it's inserted into rgrp treeBob Peterson
Before this patch, function read_rindex_entry would set a rgrp glock's gl_object pointer to itself before inserting the rgrp into the rgrp rbtree. The problem is: if another process was also reading the rgrp in, and had already inserted its newly created rgrp, then the second call to read_rindex_entry would overwrite that value, then return a bad return code to the caller. Later, other functions would reference the now-freed rgrp memory by way of gl_object. In some cases, that could result in gfs2_rgrp_brelse being called twice for the same rgrp: once for the failed attempt and once for the "real" rgrp release. Eventually the kernel would panic. There are also a number of other things that could go wrong when a kernel module is accessing freed storage. For example, this could result in rgrp corruption because the fake rgrp would point to a fake bitmap in memory too, causing gfs2_inplace_reserve to search some random memory for free blocks, and find some, since we were never setting rgd->rd_bits to NULL before freeing it. This patch fixes the problem by not setting gl_object until we have successfully inserted the rgrp into the rbtree. Also, it sets rd_bits to NULL as it frees them, which will ensure any accidental access to the wrong rgrp will result in a kernel panic rather than file system corruption, which is preferred.

2016-04-04mm, fs: get rid of PAGE_CACHE_* and page_cache_{get,release} macrosKirill A. Shutemov
PAGE_CACHE_{SIZE,SHIFT,MASK,ALIGN} macros were introduced *long* time ago with promise that one day it will be possible to implement page cache with bigger chunks than PAGE_SIZE. This promise never materialized. And unlikely will. We have many places where PAGE_CACHE_SIZE assumed to be equal to PAGE_SIZE. And it's constant source of confusion on whether PAGE_CACHE_* or PAGE_* constant should be used in a particular case, especially on the border between fs and mm. Global switching to PAGE_CACHE_SIZE != PAGE_SIZE would cause to much breakage to be doable. Let's stop pretending that pages in page cache are special. They are not. The changes are pretty straight-forward: - <foo> << (PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT - PAGE_SHIFT) -> <foo>; - <foo> >> (PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT - PAGE_SHIFT) -> <foo>; - PAGE_CACHE_{SIZE,SHIFT,MASK,ALIGN} -> PAGE_{SIZE,SHIFT,MASK,ALIGN}; - page_cache_get() -> get_page(); - page_cache_release() -> put_page(); This patch contains automated changes generated with coccinelle using script below. For some reason, coccinelle doesn't patch header files. I've called spatch for them manually. The only adjustment after coccinelle is revert of changes to PAGE_CAHCE_ALIGN definition: we are going to drop it later. There are few places in the code where coccinelle didn't reach. I'll fix them manually in a separate patch. Comments and documentation also will be addressed with the separate patch. virtual patch @@ expression E; @@ - E << (PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT - PAGE_SHIFT) + E @@ expression E; @@ - E >> (PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT - PAGE_SHIFT) + E @@ @@ - PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT + PAGE_SHIFT @@ @@ - PAGE_CACHE_SIZE + PAGE_SIZE @@ @@ - PAGE_CACHE_MASK + PAGE_MASK @@ expression E; @@ - PAGE_CACHE_ALIGN(E) + PAGE_ALIGN(E) @@ expression E; @@ - page_cache_get(E) + get_page(E) @@ expression E; @@ - page_cache_release(E) + put_page(E) Signed-off-by: Kirill A.

2015-12-18GFS2: Always use iopen glock for gl_deletesBob Peterson
Before this patch, when function try_rgrp_unlink queued a glock for delete_work to reclaim the space, it used the inode glock to do so. That's different from the iopen callback which uses the iopen glock for the same purpose. We should be consistent and always use the iopen glock. This may also save us reference counting problems with the inode glock, since clear_glock does an extra glock_put() for the inode glock. Signed-off-by: Bob Peterson <rpeterso@redhat.com>
2015-12-14GFS2: Make rgrp reservations part of the gfs2_inode structureBob Peterson
Before this patch, multi-block reservation structures were allocated from a special slab. This patch folds the structure into the gfs2_inode structure. The disadvantage is that the gfs2_inode needs more memory, even when a file is opened read-only. The advantages are: (a) we don't need the special slab and the extra time it takes to allocate and deallocate from it. (b) we no longer need to worry that the structure exists for things like quota management. (c) This also allows us to remove the calls to get_write_access and put_write_access since we know the structure will exist. Signed-off-by: Bob Peterson <rpeterso@redhat.com>
2015-11-24GFS2: Extract quota data from reservations structure (revert 5407e24)Bob Peterson
This patch basically reverts the majority of patch 5407e24. That patch eliminated the gfs2_qadata structure in favor of just using the reservations structure. The problem with doing that is that it increases the size of the reservations structure. That is not an issue until it comes time to fold the reservations structure into the inode in memory so we know it's always there. By separating out the quota structure again, we aren't punishing the non-quota users by making all the inodes bigger, requiring more slab space. This patch creates a new slab area to allocate the quota stuff so it's managed a little more sanely. Signed-off-by: Bob Peterson <rpeterso@redhat.com>

2015-06-19GFS2: Don't brelse rgrp buffer_heads every allocationBob Peterson
This patch allows the block allocation code to retain the buffers for the resource groups so they don't need to be re-read from buffer cache with every request. This is a performance improvement that's especially noticeable when resource groups are very large. For example, with 2GB resource groups and 4K blocks, there can be 33 blocks for every resource group. This patch allows those 33 buffers to be kept around and not read in and thrown away with every operation. The buffers are released when the resource group is either synced or invalidated.

2015-05-05gfs2: handle NULL rgd in set_rgrp_preferencesAbhi Das
The function set_rgrp_preferences() does not handle the (rarely returned) NULL value from gfs2_rgrpd_get_next() and this patch fixes that. The fs image in question is only 150MB in size which allows for only 1 rgrp to be created. The in-memory rb tree has only 1 node and when gfs2_rgrpd_get_next() is called on this sole rgrp, it returns NULL. (Default behavior is to wrap around the rb tree and return the first node to give the illusion of a circular linked list. In the case of only 1 rgrp, we can't have gfs2_rgrpd_get_next() return the same rgrp (first, last, next all point to the same rgrp)... that would cause unintended consequences and infinite loops.)

If the round-trip time is zero for a particular cpu, that cpu has obviously never dealt with bouncing the resource group in question, so factoring in a zero value will only skew the numbers.

2015-03-18gfs2: allow quota_check and inplace_reserve to return available blocksAbhi Das
struct gfs2_alloc_parms is passed to gfs2_quota_check() and gfs2_inplace_reserve() with ap->target containing the number of blocks being requested for allocation in the current operation. We add a new field to struct gfs2_alloc_parms called 'allowed'. gfs2_quota_check() and gfs2_inplace_reserve() return the max blocks allowed by quota and the max blocks allowed by the chosen rgrp respectively in 'allowed'. A new field 'min_target', when non-zero, tells gfs2_quota_check() and gfs2_inplace_reserve() to not return -EDQUOT/-ENOSPC when there are atleast 'min_target' blocks allowable/available. The assumption is that the caller is ok with just 'min_target' blocks and will likely proceed with allocating them.

2014-09-19GFS2: fix bad inode i_goal values during block allocationAbhi Das
This patch checks if i_goal is either zero or if doesn't exist within any rgrp (i.e gfs2_blk2rgrpd() returns NULL). If so, it assigns the ip->i_no_addr block as the i_goal. There are two scenarios where a bad i_goal can result in a -EBADSLT error. 1. Attempting to allocate to an existing inode: Control reaches gfs2_inplace_reserve() and ip->i_goal is bad. We need to fix i_goal here. 2. A new inode is created in a directory whose i_goal is hosed: In this case, the parent dir's i_goal is copied onto the new inode. Since the new inode is not yet created, the ip->i_no_addr field is invalid and so, the fix in gfs2_inplace_reserve() as per 1) won't work in this scenario. We need to catch and fix it sooner in the parent dir itself (gfs2_create_inode()), before it is copied to the new inode.

2014-05-14GFS2: remove transaction glockBenjamin Marzinski
GFS2 has a transaction glock, which must be grabbed for every transaction, whose purpose is to deal with freezing the filesystem. Aside from this involving a large amount of locking, it is very easy to make the current fsfreeze code hang on unfreezing. This patch rewrites how gfs2 handles freezing the filesystem. The transaction glock is removed. In it's place is a freeze glock, which is cached (but not held) in a shared state by every node in the cluster when the filesystem is mounted. This lock only needs to be grabbed on freezing, and actions which need to be safe from freezing, like recovery. When a node wants to freeze the filesystem, it grabs this glock exclusively. When the freeze glock state changes on the nodes (either from shared to unlocked, or shared to exclusive), the filesystem does a special log flush. gfs2_log_flush() does all the work for flushing out the and shutting down the incore log, and then it tries to grab the freeze glock in a shared state again. Since the filesystem is stuck in gfs2_log_flush, no new transaction can start, and nothing can be written to disk. Unfreezing the filesytem simply involes dropping the freeze glock, allowing gfs2_log_flush() to grab and then release the shared lock, so it is cached for next time. However, in order for the unfreezing ioctl to occur, gfs2 needs to get a shared lock on the filesystem root directory inode to check permissions. If that glock has already been grabbed exclusively, fsfreeze will be unable to get the shared lock and unfreeze the filesystem. In order to allow the unfreeze, this patch makes gfs2 grab a shared lock on the filesystem root directory during the freeze, and hold it until it unfreezes the filesystem. The functions which need to grab a shared lock in order to allow the unfreeze ioctl to be issued now use the lock grabbed by the freeze code instead. The freeze and unfreeze code take care to make sure that this shared lock will not be dropped while another process is using it.

2014-02-04GFS2: Allocate block for xattr at inode alloc time, if requiredSteven Whitehouse
This is another step towards improving the allocation of xattr blocks at inode allocation time. Here we take advantage of Christoph's recent work on ACLs to allocate a block for the xattrs early if we know that we will be adding ACLs to the inode later on. The advantage of that is that it is much more likely that we'll get a contiguous run of two blocks where the first is the inode and the second is the xattr block. We still have to fall back to the original system in case we don't get the requested two contiguous blocks, or in case the ACLs are too large to fit into the block. Future patches will move more of the ACL setting code further up the gfs2_inode_create() function. Also, I'd like to be able to do the same thing with the xattrs from LSMs in due course, too.

2014-01-03GFS2: Use range based functions for rgrp sync/invalidationSteven Whitehouse
Each rgrp header is represented as a single extent on disk, so we can calculate the position within the address space, since we are using address spaces mapped 1:1 to the disk. This means that it is possible to use the range based versions of filemap_fdatawrite/wait and for invalidating the page cache. Our eventual intent is to then be able to merge the address spaces used for rgrps into a single address space, rather than to have one for each glock, saving memory and reducing complexity. Since during umount, the rgrp structures are disposed of before the glocks, we need to store the extent information in the glock so that is is available for a final invalidation. This patch uses a field which is otherwise unused in rgrp glocks to do that, so that we do not have to expand the size of a glock. Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>

2014-01-03GFS2: Drop inadequate rgrps from the reservation treeBob Peterson
This is just basically a resend of a patch I posted earlier. It didn't change from its original, except in diff offsets, etc: This patch fixes a bug in the GFS2 block allocation code. The problem starts if a process already has a multi-block reservation, but for some reason, another process disqualifies it from further allocations. For example, the other process might set on the GFS2_RDF_ERROR bit. The process holding the reservation jumps to label skip_rgrp, but that label comes after the code that removes the reservation from the tree. Therefore, the no longer usable reservation is not removed from the rgrp's reservations tree; it's lost. Eventually, the lost reservation causes the count of reserved blocks to get off, and eventually that causes a BUG_ON(rs->rs_rbm.rgd->rd_reserved < rs->rs_free) to trigger. This patch moves the call to after label skip_rgrp so that the disqualified reservation is properly removed from the tree, thus keeping the rgrp rd_reserved count sane.

2014-01-03GFS2: If requested is too large, use the largest extent in the rgrpBob Peterson
Here is a second try at a patch I posted earlier, which also implements suggestions Steve made: Before this patch, GFS2 would keep searching through all the rgrps until it found one that had a chunk of free blocks big enough to satisfy the size hint, which is based on the file write size, regardless of whether the chunk was big enough to perform the write. However, when doing big writes there may not be a large enough chunk of free blocks in any rgrp, due to file system fragmentation. The largest chunk may be big enough to satisfy the write request, but it may not meet the ideal reservation size from the "size hint". The writes would slow to a crawl because every write would search every rgrp, then finally give up and default to a single-block write. In my case, performance would drop from 425MB/s to 18KB/s, or 24000 times slower. This patch basically makes it so that if we can't find a contiguous chunk of blocks big enough to satisfy the sizehint, we'll use the largest chunk of blocks we found that will still contain the write. It does so by keeping track of the largest run of blocks within the rgrp. Signed-off-by: Bob Peterson <rpeterso@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>

2013-09-27GFS2: Clean up reservation removalSteven Whitehouse
The reservation for an inode should be cleared when it is truncated so that we can start again at a different offset for future allocations. We could try and do better than that, by resetting the search based on where the truncation started from, but this is only a first step. In addition, there are three callers of gfs2_rs_delete() but only one of those should really be testing the value of i_writecount. While we get away with that in the other cases currently, I think it would be better if we made that test specific to the one case which requires it.

This patch adds a new function, gfs2_rbm_incr, which increments an rbm structure. This is more efficient than calling gfs2_rbm_to_block, incrementing, then calling gfs2_rbm_from_block.

2013-09-18GFS2: Introduce rbm field biiBob Peterson
This is a respin of the original patch. As Steve pointed out, the introduction of field bii makes it easy to eliminate bi itself. This revised patch does just that, replacing bi with bii. This patch adds a new field to the rbm structure, called bii, which is an index into the array of bitmaps for an rgrp. This replaces *bi which was a pointer to the bitmap. This is being done for further optimizations. Signed-off-by: Bob Peterson <rpeterso@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>
2013-09-17GFS2: Do not reset flags on active reservationsBob Peterson
When we used try locks for rgrps on block allocations, it was important to clear the flags field so that we used a blocking hold on the glock. Now that we're not doing try locks, clearing flags is unnecessary, and a waste of time. In fact, it's probably doing the wrong thing because it clears the GL_SKIP bit that was set for the lvb tracking purposes.

2013-09-17GFS2: introduce bi_blocks for optimizationBob Peterson
This patch introduces a new field in the bitmap structure called bi_blocks. Its purpose is to save us from constantly multiplying bi_len by the constant GFS2_NBBY. It also paves the way for more optimization in a future patch. Signed-off-by: Bob Peterson <rpeterso@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>
2013-09-17GFS2: optimize rbm_from_block wrt bi_startBob Peterson
In function gfs2_rbm_from_block, it starts by checking if the block falls within the first bitmap. It does so by checking if the rbm's offset is less than (rbm->bi->bi_start + rbm->bi->bi_len) * GFS2_NBBY. However, the first bitmap will always have bi_start==0. Therefore this is an unnecessary calculation in a function that gets called billions of times. This patch removes the reference to bi_start.

2013-06-19GFS2: Fix fstrim boundary conditionsAbhijith Das
This patch correctly distinguishes two boundary conditions: 1. When the given range is entire within the unaccounted space between two rgrps, and 2. The range begins beyond the end of the filesystem Also fix the unit of the returned value r.len (total trimming) to be in bytes instead of the (incorrect) 512 byte blocks With this patch, GFS2 passes multiple iterations of all the relevant xfstests (251, 260, 288) with different fs block sizes.

2013-06-03GFS2: Increase i_writecount during gfs2_setattr_sizeBob Peterson
This patch calls get_write_access in a few functions. This merely increases inode->i_writecount for the duration of the function. That will ensure that any file closes won't delete the inode's multi-block reservation while the function is running.

2013-05-24GFS2: Use single-block reservations for directoriesBob Peterson
This patch changes the multi-block allocation code, such that directory inodes only get a single block reserved in the bitmap. That way, the bitmaps are more tightly packed together, and there are fewer spans of free blocks for in-use block reservations. This means it takes less time to find a free span of blocks in the bitmap, which speeds things up. This increases the performance of some workloads by almost 2X. In Nate's mockup.py script (which does (1) create dir, (2) create dir in dir, (3) create file in that dir) the test executes in 23 steps rather than 43 steps, a 47% performance improvement.

2013-04-08GFS2: Remove vestigial parameter ip from function rs_deltreeBob Peterson
The functions that delete block reservations from the rgrp block reservations rbtree no longer use the ip parameter. This patch eliminates the parameter. Signed-off-by: Bob Peterson <rpeterso@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>
