2011-07-12NFS: Don't use DATA_SYNC writesTrond Myklebust
If we're writing back data, and the FLUSH_STABLE flag is set, then we always want to use NFS_FILE_SYNC, since we're always in a situation where we're doing page reclaim, and so we want to free up the page as quickly as possible. If we're in the FLUSH_COND_STABLE case, then we either want to use another unstable write (if we have to do a commit anyway) or again, we want to use NFS_FILE_SYNC because we know that we have no more pages to write out.

2011-07-12NFS: Cleanup of the nfs_pageio code in preparation for a pnfs bugfixTrond Myklebust
We need to ensure that the layouts are set up before we can decide to coalesce requests. To do so, we want to further split up the struct nfs_pageio_descriptor operations into an initialisation callback, a coalescing test callback, and a 'do i/o' callback. This patch cleans up the existing callback methods before adding the 'initialisation' callback. Signed-off-by: Trond Myklebust <Trond.Myklebust@netapp.com>
2011-06-28pnfs: write: Set mds_offset in the generic layer - it is needed by all LDsBoaz Harrosh

2011-04-12nfs: don't call __mark_inode_dirty while holding i_lockDave Chinner
nfs_scan_commit() is called with the inode->i_lock held, but it then calls __mark_inode_dirty() while still holding the lock. This causes a deadlock. Push the inode->i_lock into nfs_scan_commit() so it can protect only the parts of the code it needs to and can be dropped before the call to __mark_inode_dirty() to avoid the deadlock.

2011-03-27NFS: Fix a hang in the writeback pathTrond Myklebust
Now that the inode scalability patches have been merged, it is no longer safe to call igrab() under the inode->i_lock. Now that we no longer call nfs_clear_request() until the nfs_page is being freed, we know that we are always holding a reference to the nfs_open_context, which again holds a reference to the path, and so the inode cannot be freed until the last nfs_page has been removed from the radix tree and freed. We can therefore skip the igrab()/iput() altogether. Signed-off-by: Trond Myklebust <Trond.Myklebust@netapp.com>

2011-03-23NFSv4.1: add generic layer hooks for pnfs COMMITFred Isaman
We create three major hooks for the pnfs code. pnfs_mark_request_commit() is called during writeback_done from nfs_mark_request_commit, which gives the driver an opportunity to claim it wants control over commiting a particular req. pnfs_choose_commit_list() is called from nfs_scan_list to choose which list a given req should be added to, based on where we intend to send it for COMMIT. It is up to the driver to have preallocated list headers for each destination it may need. pnfs_commit_list() is how the driver actually takes control, it is used instead of nfs_commit_list(). In order to pass information between the above functions, we create a union in nfs_page to hold a lseg (which is possible because the req is not on any list while in transition), and add some flags to indicate if we need to use the pnfs code.

2011-03-22NFS: Fix a hang/infinite loop in nfs_wb_page()Trond Myklebust
When one of the two waits in nfs_commit_inode() is interrupted, it returns a non-negative value, which causes nfs_wb_page() to think that the operation was successful causing it to busy-loop rather than exiting. It also causes nfs_file_fsync() to incorrectly report the file as being successfully committed to disk.

2011-03-10nfs: close NFSv4 COMMIT vs. CLOSE raceJeff Layton
I've been adding in more artificial delays in the NFSv4 commit and close codepaths to uncover races. The kernel I'm testing has the patch to close the race in __rpc_wait_for_completion_task that's in Trond's cthon2011 branch. The reproducer I've been using does this in a loop: mkdir("DIR"); fd = open("DIR/FILE", O_WRONLY|O_CREAT|O_EXCL, 0644); write(fd, "abcdefg", 7); close(fd); unlink("DIR/FILE"); rmdir("DIR"); The above reproducer shouldn't result in any silly-renaming. However, when I add a "msleep(100)" just after the nfs_commit_clear_lock call in nfs_commit_release, I can almost always force one to occur. If I can force it to occur with that, then it can happen without that delay given the right timing. nfs_commit_inode waits for the NFS_INO_COMMIT bit to clear when called with FLUSH_SYNC set. nfs_commit_rpcsetup on the other hand does not wait for the task to complete before putting its reference to it, so the last reference get put in rpc_release task and gets queued to a workqueue. In this situation, the last open context reference may be put by the COMMIT release instead of the close() syscall. The close() syscall returns too quickly and the unlink runs while the d_count is still high since the COMMIT release hasn't put its dentry reference yet. Fix this by having rpc_commit_rpcsetup wait for the RPC call to complete before putting the task reference when FLUSH_SYNC is set. With this, the last reference is put by the process that's initiating the FLUSH_SYNC commit and the race is closed.

2010-12-08nfs: remove extraneous and problematic calls to nfs_clear_requestTrond Myklebust
When a nfs_page is freed, nfs_free_request is called which also calls nfs_clear_request to clean out the lock and open contexts and free the pagecache page. However, a couple of places in the nfs code call nfs_clear_request themselves. What happens here if the refcount on the request is still high? We'll be releasing contexts and freeing pointers while the request is possibly still in use. Remove those bare calls to nfs_clear_context. That should only be done when the request is being freed. Note that when doing this, we need to watch out for tests of req->wb_page. Previously, nfs_set_page_tag_locked() and nfs_clear_page_tag_locked() would check the value of req->wb_page to figure out if the page is mapped into the nfsi->nfs_page_tree. We now indicate the page is mapped using the new bit PG_MAPPED in req->wb_flags . Reported-by: Jeff Layton <jlayton@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Trond Myklebust <Trond.Myklebust@netapp.com>
2010-10-26writeback: remove nonblocking/encountered_congestion referencesWu Fengguang
This removes more dead code that was somehow missed by commit 0d99519efef (writeback: remove unused nonblocking and congestion checks). There are no behavior change except for the removal of two entries from one of the ext4 tracing interface. The nonblocking checks in ->writepages are no longer used because the flusher now prefer to block on get_request_wait() than to skip inodes on IO congestion. The latter will lead to more seeky IO. The nonblocking checks in ->writepage are no longer used because it's redundant with the WB_SYNC_NONE check. We no long set ->nonblocking in VM page out and page migration, because a) it's effectively redundant with WB_SYNC_NONE in current code b) it's old semantic of "Don't get stuck on request queues" is mis-behavior: that would skip some dirty inodes on congestion and page out others, which is unfair in terms of LRU age.
