2013-07-16ext4: call ext4_es_lru_add() after handling cache missTheodore Ts'o
If there are no items in the extent status tree, ext4_es_lru_add() is a no-op. So it is not sufficient to call ext4_es_lru_add() before we try to lookup an entry in the extent status tree. We also need to call it at the end of ext4_ext_map_blocks(), after items have been added to the extent status tree. This could lead to inodes with that have extent status trees but which are not in the LRU list, which means they won't get considered for eviction by the es_shrinker.

2013-07-01ext4: fix up error handling for mpage_map_and_submit_extent()Theodore Ts'o
The function mpage_released_unused_page() must only be called once; otherwise the kernel will BUG() when the second call to mpage_released_unused_page() tries to unlock the pages which had been unlocked by the first call. Also restructure the error handling so that we only give up on writing the dirty pages in the case of ENOSPC where retrying the allocation won't help. Otherwise, a transient failure, such as a kmalloc() failure in calling ext4_map_blocks() might cause us to give up on those pages, leading to a scary message in /var/log/messages plus data loss.

2013-07-01ext4: improve extent cache shrink mechanism to avoid to burn CPU timeZheng Liu
Now we maintain an proper in-order LRU list in ext4 to reclaim entries from extent status tree when we are under heavy memory pressure. For keeping this order, a spin lock is used to protect this list. But this lock burns a lot of CPU time. We can use the following steps to trigger it. % cd /dev/shm % dd if=/dev/zero of=ext4-img bs=1M count=2k % mkfs.ext4 ext4-img % mount -t ext4 -o loop ext4-img /mnt % cd /mnt % for ((i=0;i<160;i++)); do truncate -s 64g $i; done % for ((i=0;i<160;i++)); do cp $i /dev/null &; done % perf record -a -g % perf report This commit tries to fix this problem. Now a new member called i_touch_when is added into ext4_inode_info to record the last access time for an inode. Meanwhile we never need to keep a proper in-order LRU list. So this can avoid to burns some CPU time. When we try to reclaim some entries from extent status tree, we use list_sort() to get a proper in-order list. Then we traverse this list to discard some entries. In ext4_sb_info, we use s_es_last_sorted to record the last time of sorting this list. When we traverse the list, we skip the inode that is newer than this time, and move this inode to the tail of LRU list. When the head of the list is newer than s_es_last_sorted, we will sort the LRU list again. In this commit, we break the loop if s_extent_cache_cnt == 0 because that means that all extents in extent status tree have been reclaimed. Meanwhile in this commit, ext4_es_{un}register_shrinker()'s prototype is changed to save a local variable in these functions.

2013-06-04ext4: restructure writeback pathJan Kara
There are two issues with current writeback path in ext4. For one we don't necessarily map complete pages when blocksize < pagesize and thus needn't do any writeback in one iteration. We always map some blocks though so we will eventually finish mapping the page. Just if writeback races with other operations on the file, forward progress is not really guaranteed. The second problem is that current code structure makes it hard to associate all the bios to some range of pages with one io_end structure so that unwritten extents can be converted after all the bios are finished. This will be especially difficult later when io_end will be associated with reserved transaction handle. We restructure the writeback path to a relatively simple loop which first prepares extent of pages, then maps one or more extents so that no page is partially mapped, and once page is fully mapped it is submitted for IO. We keep all the mapping and IO submission information in mpage_da_data structure to somewhat reduce stack usage. Resulting code is somewhat shorter than the old one and hopefully also easier to read.

However more file systems now support punch hole feature and it can benefit from mm supporting truncating page just up to the certain point. Specifically, with this functionality truncate_inode_pages_range() can be changed so it supports truncating partial page at the end of the range (currently it will BUG_ON() if 'end' is not at the end of the page). This commit changes the invalidatepage() address space operation prototype to accept range to be invalidated and update all the instances for it. We also change the block_invalidatepage() in the same way and actually make a use of the new length argument implementing range invalidation.

2013-04-10ext4: introduce reserved spaceLukas Czerner
Currently in ENOSPC condition when writing into unwritten space, or punching a hole, we might need to split the extent and grow extent tree. However since we can not allocate any new metadata blocks we'll have to zero out unwritten part of extent or punched out part of extent, or in the worst case return ENOSPC even though use actually does not allocate any space. Also in delalloc path we do reserve metadata and data blocks for the time we're going to write out, however metadata block reservation is very tricky especially since we expect that logical connectivity implies physical connectivity, however that might not be the case and hence we might end up allocating more metadata blocks than previously reserved. So in future, metadata reservation checks should be removed since we can not assure that we do not under reserve. And this is where reserved space comes into the picture. When mounting the file system we slice off a little bit of the file system space (2% or 4096 clusters, whichever is smaller) which can be then used for the cases mentioned above to prevent costly zeroout, or unexpected ENOSPC. The number of reserved clusters can be set via sysfs, however it can never be bigger than number of free clusters in the file system. Note that this patch fixes the failure of xfstest 274 as expected.

2013-04-04ext4/jbd2: don't wait (forever) for stale tid caused by wraparoundTheodore Ts'o
In the case where an inode has a very stale transaction id (tid) in i_datasync_tid or i_sync_tid, it's possible that after a very large (2**31) number of transactions, that the tid number space might wrap, causing tid_geq()'s calculations to fail. Commit deeeaf13 "jbd2: fix fsync() tid wraparound bug", later modified by commit e7b04ac0 "jbd2: don't wake kjournald unnecessarily", attempted to fix this problem, but it only avoided kjournald spinning forever by fixing the logic in jbd2_log_start_commit(). Unfortunately, in the codepaths in fs/ext4/fsync.c and fs/ext4/inode.c that might call jbd2_log_start_commit() with a stale tid, those functions will subsequently call jbd2_log_wait_commit() with the same stale tid, and then wait for a very long time. To fix this, we replace the calls to jbd2_log_start_commit() and jbd2_log_wait_commit() with a call to a new function, jbd2_complete_transaction(), which will correctly handle stale tid's. As a bonus, jbd2_complete_transaction() will avoid locking j_state_lock for writing unless a commit needs to be started. This should have a small (but probably not measurable) improvement for ext4's scalability.

2013-04-03ext4: refactor punch hole codeTheodore Ts'o
Move common code in ext4_ind_punch_hole() and ext4_ext_punch_hole() into ext4_punch_hole(). This saves over 150 lines of code. This also fixes a potential bug when the punch_hole() code is racing against indirect-to-extents or extents-to-indirect migation. We are currently using i_mutex to protect against changes to the inode flag; specifically, the append-only, immutable, and extents inode flags. So we need to take i_mutex before deciding whether to use the extents-specific or indirect-specific punch_hole code. Also, there was a missing call to ext4_inode_block_unlocked_dio() in the indirect punch codepath. This was added in commit 02d262dffcf4c to block DIO readers racing against the punch operation in the codepath for extent-mapped inodes, but it was missing for indirect-block mapped inodes. One of the advantages of refactoring the code is that it makes such oversights much less likely. Signed-off-by: "Theodore Ts'o" <tytso@mit.edu>

2013-03-20ext4: fix data=journal fast mount/umount hangTheodore Ts'o
In data=journal mode, if we unmount the file system before a transaction has a chance to complete, when the journal inode is being evicted, we can end up calling into jbd2_log_wait_commit() for the last transaction, after the journalling machinery has been shut down. Arguably we should adjust ext4_should_journal_data() to return FALSE for the journal inode, but the only place it matters is ext4_evict_inode(), and so to save a bit of CPU time, and to make the patch much more obviously correct by inspection(tm), we'll fix it by explicitly not trying to waiting for a journal commit when we are evicting the journal inode, since it's guaranteed to never succeed in this case. This can be easily replicated via: mount -t ext4 -o data=journal /dev/vdb /vdb ; umount /vdb ------------[ cut here ]------------ WARNING: at /usr/projects/linux/ext4/fs/jbd2/journal.c:542 __jbd2_log_start_commit+0xba/0xcd() Hardware name: Bochs JBD2: bad log_start_commit: 3005630206 3005630206 0 0 Modules linked in: Pid: 2909, comm: umount Not tainted 3.8.0-rc3 #1020 Call Trace: [<c015c0ef>] warn_slowpath_common+0x68/0x7d [<c02b7e7d>] ? __jbd2_log_start_commit+0xba/0xcd [<c015c177>] warn_slowpath_fmt+0x2b/0x2f [<c02b7e7d>] __jbd2_log_start_commit+0xba/0xcd [<c02b8075>] jbd2_log_start_commit+0x24/0x34 [<c0279ed5>] ext4_evict_inode+0x71/0x2e3 [<c021f0ec>] evict+0x94/0x135 [<c021f9aa>] iput+0x10a/0x110 [<c02b7836>] jbd2_journal_destroy+0x190/0x1ce [<c0175284>] ? bit_waitqueue+0x50/0x50 [<c028d23f>] ext4_put_super+0x52/0x294 [<c020efe3>] generic_shutdown_super+0x48/0xb4 [<c020f071>] kill_block_super+0x22/0x60 [<c020f3e0>] deactivate_locked_super+0x22/0x49 [<c020f5d6>] deactivate_super+0x30/0x33 [<c0222795>] mntput_no_expire+0x107/0x10c [<c02233a7>] sys_umount+0x2cf/0x2e0 [<c02233ca>] sys_oldumount+0x12/0x14 [<c08096b8>] syscall_call+0x7/0xb ---[ end trace 6a954cc790501c1f ]--- jbd2_log_wait_commit: error: j_commit_request=-1289337090, tid=0 Signed-off-by: "Theodore Ts'o" <tytso@mit.edu> Reviewed-by: Jan Kara <jack@suse.cz> Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org
2013-03-20ext4: fix ext4_evict_inode() racing against workqueue processing codeTheodore Ts'o
Commit 84c17543ab56 (ext4: move work from io_end to inode) triggered a regression when running xfstest #270 when the file system is mounted with dioread_nolock. The problem is that after ext4_evict_inode() calls ext4_ioend_wait(), this guarantees that last io_end structure has been freed, but it does not guarantee that the workqueue structure, which was moved into the inode by commit 84c17543ab56, is actually finished. Once ext4_flush_completed_IO() calls ext4_free_io_end() on CPU #1, this will allow ext4_ioend_wait() to return on CPU #2, at which point the evict_inode() codepath can race against the workqueue code on CPU #1 accessing EXT4_I(inode)->i_unwritten_work to find the next item of work to do. Fix this by calling cancel_work_sync() in ext4_ioend_wait(), which will be renamed ext4_ioend_shutdown(), since it is only used by ext4_evict_inode(). Also, move the call to ext4_ioend_shutdown() until after truncate_inode_pages() and filemap_write_and_wait() are called, to make sure all dirty pages have been written back and flushed from the page cache first.
