2015-08-04jbd2: limit number of reserved creditsLukas Czerner
Currently there is no limitation on number of reserved credits we can ask for. If we ask for more reserved credits than 1/2 of maximum transaction size, or if total number of credits exceeds the maximum transaction size per operation (which is currently only possible with the former) we will spin forever in start_this_handle(). Fix this by adding this limitation at the start of start_this_handle(). This patch also removes the credit limitation 1/2 of maximum transaction size, since we really only want to limit the number of reserved credits. There is not much point to limit the credits if there is still space in the journal. This accidentally also fixes the online resize, where due to the limitation of the journal credits we're unable to grow file systems with 1k block size and size between 16M and 32M. It has been partially fixed by 2c869b262a10ca99cb866d04087d75311587a30c, but not entirely. Thanks Jan Kara for helping me getting the correct fix.

2015-07-12jbd2: speedup jbd2_journal_dirty_metadata()Jan Kara
It is often the case that we mark buffer as having dirty metadata when the buffer is already in that state (frequent for bitmaps, inode table blocks, superblock). Thus it is unnecessary to contend on grabbing journal head reference and bh_state lock. Avoid that by checking whether any modification to the buffer is needed before grabbing any locks or references.

2015-06-08jbd2: speedup jbd2_journal_get_[write|undo]_access()Jan Kara
jbd2_journal_get_write_access() and jbd2_journal_get_create_access() are frequently called for buffers that are already part of the running transaction - most frequently it is the case for bitmaps, inode table blocks, and superblock. Since in such cases we have nothing to do, it is unfortunate we still grab reference to journal head, lock the bh, lock bh_state only to find out there's nothing to do. Improving this is a bit subtle though since until we find out journal head is attached to the running transaction, it can disappear from under us because checkpointing / commit decided it's no longer needed. We deal with this by protecting journal_head slab with RCU. We still have to be careful about journal head being freed & reallocated within slab and about exposing journal head in consistent state (in particular b_modified and b_frozen_data must be in correct state before we allow user to touch the buffer).

The deprecation of __GFP_NOFAIL was a bad choice because it led to open coding the endless loop around the allocator rather than removing the dependency on the non failing allocation. So the deprecation was a clear failure and the reality tells us that __GFP_NOFAIL is not even close to go away. It is still true that __GFP_NOFAIL allocations are generally discouraged and new uses should be evaluated and an alternative (pre-allocations or reservations) should be considered but it doesn't make any sense to lie the allocator about the requirements.

2015-05-14ext4: fix NULL pointer dereference when journal restart failsLukas Czerner
Currently when journal restart fails, we'll have the h_transaction of the handle set to NULL to indicate that the handle has been effectively aborted. We handle this situation quietly in the jbd2_journal_stop() and just free the handle and exit because everything else has been done before we attempted (and failed) to restart the journal. Unfortunately there are a number of problems with that approach introduced with commit 41a5b913197c "jbd2: invalidate handle if jbd2_journal_restart() fails" First of all in ext4 jbd2_journal_stop() will be called through __ext4_journal_stop() where we would try to get a hold of the superblock by dereferencing h_transaction which in this case would lead to NULL pointer dereference and crash. In addition we're going to free the handle regardless of the refcount which is bad as well, because others up the call chain will still reference the handle so we might potentially reference already freed memory. Moreover it's expected that we'll get aborted handle as well as detached handle in some of the journalling function as the error propagates up the stack, so it's unnecessary to call WARN_ON every time we get detached handle. And finally we might leak some memory by forgetting to free reserved handle in jbd2_journal_stop() in the case where handle was detached from the transaction (h_transaction is NULL). Fix the NULL pointer dereference in __ext4_journal_stop() by just calling jbd2_journal_stop() quietly as suggested by Jan Kara. Also fix the potential memory leak in jbd2_journal_stop() and use proper handle refcounting before we attempt to free it to avoid use-after-free issues. And finally remove all WARN_ON(!transaction) from the code so that we do not get random traces when something goes wrong because when journal restart fails we will get to some of those functions.

2014-07-16sched: Remove proliferation of wait_on_bit() action functionsNeilBrown
The current "wait_on_bit" interface requires an 'action' function to be provided which does the actual waiting. There are over 20 such functions, many of them identical. Most cases can be satisfied by one of just two functions, one which uses io_schedule() and one which just uses schedule(). So: Rename wait_on_bit and wait_on_bit_lock to wait_on_bit_action and wait_on_bit_lock_action to make it explicit that they need an action function. Introduce new wait_on_bit{,_lock} and wait_on_bit{,_lock}_io which are *not* given an action function but implicitly use a standard one. The decision to error-out if a signal is pending is now made based on the 'mode' argument rather than being encoded in the action function. All instances of the old wait_on_bit and wait_on_bit_lock which can use the new version have been changed accordingly and their action functions have been discarded. wait_on_bit{_lock} does not return any specific error code in the event of a signal so the caller must check for non-zero and interpolate their own error code as appropriate. The wait_on_bit() call in __fscache_wait_on_invalidate() was ambiguous as it specified TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE but used fscache_wait_bit_interruptible as an action function. David Howells confirms this should be uniformly "uninterruptible" The main remaining user of wait_on_bit{,_lock}_action is NFS which needs to use a freezer-aware schedule() call. A comment in fs/gfs2/glock.c notes that having multiple 'action' functions is useful as they display differently in the 'wchan' field of 'ps'. (and /proc/$PID/wchan). As the new bit_wait{,_io} functions are tagged "__sched", they will not show up at all, but something higher in the stack. So the distinction will still be visible, only with different function names (gds2_glock_wait versus gfs2_glock_dq_wait in the gfs2/glock.c case). Since first version of this patch (against 3.15) two new action functions appeared, on in NFS and one in CIFS. CIFS also now uses an action function that makes the same freezer aware schedule call as NFS.

2013-12-09jbd2: don't BUG but return ENOSPC if a handle runs out of spaceTheodore Ts'o
If a handle runs out of space, we currently stop the kernel with a BUG in jbd2_journal_dirty_metadata(). This makes it hard to figure out what might be going on. So return an error of ENOSPC, so we can let the file system layer figure out what is going on, to make it more likely we can get useful debugging information). This should make it easier to debug problems such as the one which was reported by: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=44731 The only two callers of this function are ext4_handle_dirty_metadata() and ocfs2_journal_dirty(). The ocfs2 function will trigger a BUG_ON(), which means there will be no change in behavior. The ext4 function will call ext4_error_inode() which will print the useful debugging information and then handle the situation using ext4's error handling mechanisms (i.e., which might mean halting the kernel or remounting the file system read-only). Also, since both file systems already call WARN_ON(), drop the WARN_ON from jbd2_journal_dirty_metadata() to avoid two stack traces from being displayed.

2013-07-01jbd2: fix theoretical race in jbd2__journal_restartTheodore Ts'o
Once we decrement transaction->t_updates, if this is the last handle holding the transaction from closing, and once we release the t_handle_lock spinlock, it's possible for the transaction to commit and be released. In practice with normal kernels, this probably won't happen, since the commit happens in a separate kernel thread and it's unlikely this could all happen within the space of a few CPU cycles. On the other hand, with a real-time kernel, this could potentially happen, so save the tid found in transaction->t_tid before we release t_handle_lock. It would require an insane configuration, such as one where the jbd2 thread was set to a very high real-time priority, perhaps because a high priority real-time thread is trying to read or write to a file system. But some people who use real-time kernels have been known to do insane things, including controlling laser-wielding industrial robots. :-) Signed-off-by: "Theodore Ts'o" <tytso@mit.edu> Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org

2013-06-04jbd2: transaction reservation supportJan Kara
In some cases we cannot start a transaction because of locking constraints and passing started transaction into those places is not handy either because we could block transaction commit for too long. Transaction reservation is designed to solve these issues. It reserves a handle with given number of credits in the journal and the handle can be later attached to the running transaction without blocking on commit or checkpointing. Reserved handles do not block transaction commit in any way, they only reduce maximum size of the running transaction (because we have to always be prepared to accomodate request for attaching reserved handle).

2013-06-04jbd2: cleanup needed free block estimates when starting a transactionJan Kara
__jbd2_log_space_left() and jbd_space_needed() were kind of odd. jbd_space_needed() accounted also credits needed for currently committing transaction while it didn't account for credits needed for control blocks. __jbd2_log_space_left() then accounted for control blocks as a fraction of free space.

2013-06-04jbd2: refine waiting for shadow buffersJan Kara
Currently when we add a buffer to a transaction, we wait until the buffer is removed from BJ_Shadow list (so that we prevent any changes to the buffer that is just written to the journal). This can take unnecessarily long as a lot happens between the time the buffer is submitted to the journal and the time when we remove the buffer from BJ_Shadow list. (e.g. We wait for all data buffers in the transaction, we issue a cache flush, etc.) Also this creates a dependency of do_get_write_access() on transaction commit (namely waiting for data IO to complete) which we want to avoid when implementing transaction reservation. So we modify commit code to set new BH_Shadow flag when temporary shadowing buffer is created and we clear that flag once IO on that buffer is complete. This allows do_get_write_access() to wait only for BH_Shadow bit and thus removes the dependency on data IO completion.

2013-02-08jbd2: add tracepoints which provide per-handle statistics Theodore Ts'o
Handles which stay open a long time are problematic when it comes time to close down a transaction so it can be committed. These tracepoints will help us determine which ones are the problematic ones, and to validate whether changes makes things better or worse. Signed-off-by: "Theodore Ts'o" <tytso@mit.edu>
2013-02-07jbd2: track request delay statisticsTheodore Ts'o
Track the delay between when we first request that the commit begin and when it actually begins, so we can see how much of a gap exists. In theory, this should just be the remaining scheduling quantuum of the thread which requested the commit (assuming it was not a synchronous operation which triggered the commit request) plus scheduling overhead; however, it's possible that real time processes might get in the way of letting the kjournald thread from executing.

2012-12-25ext4: fix deadlock in journal_unmap_buffer()Jan Kara
We cannot wait for transaction commit in journal_unmap_buffer() because we hold page lock which ranks below transaction start. We solve the issue by bailing out of journal_unmap_buffer() and jbd2_journal_invalidatepage() with -EBUSY. Caller is then responsible for waiting for transaction commit to finish and try invalidation again. Since the issue can happen only for page stradding i_size, it is simple enough to manually call jbd2_journal_invalidatepage() for such page from ext4_setattr(), check the return value and wait if necessary.

2012-09-27jbd2: fix assertion failure in commit code due to lacking transaction creditsJan Kara
ext4 users of data=journal mode with blocksize < pagesize were occasionally hitting assertion failure in jbd2_journal_commit_transaction() checking whether the transaction has at least as many credits reserved as buffers attached. The core of the problem is that when a file gets truncated, buffers that still need checkpointing or that are attached to the committing transaction are left with buffer_mapped set. When this happens to buffers beyond i_size attached to a page stradding i_size, subsequent write extending the file will see these buffers and as they are mapped (but underlying blocks were freed) things go awry from here. The assertion failure just coincidentally (and in this case luckily as we would start corrupting filesystem) triggers due to journal_head not being properly cleaned up as well. We fix the problem by unmapping buffers if possible (in lots of cases we just need a buffer attached to a transaction as a place holder but it must not be written out anyway). And in one case, we just have to bite the bullet and wait for transaction commit to finish. CC: Josef Bacik <jbacik@fusionio.com> Signed-off-by: Jan Kara <jack@suse.cz>
