| * dax: bdev_direct_access() may sleepMatthew Wilcox2015-07-041-0/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The brd driver is the only in-tree driver that may sleep currently. After some discussion on linux-fsdevel, we decided that any driver may choose to sleep in its ->direct_access method. To ensure that all callers of bdev_direct_access() are prepared for this, add a call to might_sleep().

After registering NVDIMMs the NFIT driver then registers "region" devices. A libnvdimm-region defines an access mode and the boundaries of persistent memory media. A region may span multiple NVDIMMs that are interleaved by the hardware memory controller. In turn, a libnvdimm-region can be carved into a "namespace" device and bound to the PMEM or BLK driver which will attach a Linux block device (disk) interface to the memory. PMEM: Initially merged in v4.1 this driver for contiguous spans of persistent memory address ranges is re-worked to drive PMEM-namespaces emitted by the libnvdimm-core. In this update the PMEM driver, on x86, gains the ability to assert that writes to persistent memory have been flushed all the way through the caches and buffers in the platform to persistent media. See memcpy_to_pmem() and wmb_pmem(). BLK: This new driver enables access to persistent memory media through "Block Data Windows" as defined by the NFIT. The primary difference of this driver to PMEM is that only a small window of persistent memory is mapped into system address space at any given point in time. Per-NVDIMM windows are reprogrammed at run time, per-I/O, to access different portions of the media. BLK-mode, by definition, does not support DAX. BTT: This is a library, optionally consumed by either PMEM or BLK, that converts a byte-accessible namespace into a disk with atomic sector update semantics (prevents sector tearing on crash or power loss). The sinister aspect of sector tearing is that most applications do not know they have a atomic sector dependency. At least today's disk's rarely ever tear sectors and if they do one almost certainly gets a CRC error on access. NVDIMMs will always tear and always silently. Until an application is audited to be robust in the presence of sector-tearing the usage of BTT is recommended.

The function gets called from hot paths and fairly trivial. This patch makes inode_to_bdi() and sb_is_blkdev_sb() that the function calls inline. blockdev_superblock and noop_backing_dev_info are EXPORT_GPL'd to allow the inline functions to be used from modules. While at it, make sb_is_blkdev_sb() return bool instead of int. v2: Fixed typo in description as suggested by Jan.

|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | With the planned cgroup writeback support, backing-dev related declarations will be more widely used across block and cgroup; unfortunately, including backing-dev.h from include/linux/blkdev.h makes cyclic include dependency quite likely. This patch separates out backing-dev-defs.h which only has the essential definitions and updates blkdev.h to include it. c files which need access to more backing-dev details now include backing-dev.h directly. This takes backing-dev.h off the common include dependency chain making it a lot easier to use it across block and cgroup. v2: fs/fat build failure fixed.

* direct-io: only inc/dec inode->i_dio_count for file systemsJens Axboe2015-04-241-1/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

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.

But a block device inode can only be dirtied when it is in use, which means we only have to write it out on the final blkdev_put, but not when doing a blkdev_get.

* fs: add freeze_super/thaw_super fs hooksBenjamin Marzinski2014-11-171-2/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently, freezing a filesystem involves calling freeze_super, which locks sb->s_umount and then calls the fs-specific freeze_fs hook. This makes it hard for gfs2 (and potentially other cluster filesystems) to use the vfs freezing code to do freezes on all the cluster nodes. In order to communicate that a freeze has been requested, and to make sure that only one node is trying to freeze at a time, gfs2 uses a glock (sd_freeze_gl). The problem is that there is no hook for gfs2 to acquire this lock before calling freeze_super. This means that two nodes can attempt to freeze the filesystem by both calling freeze_super, acquiring the sb->s_umount lock, and then attempting to grab the cluster glock sd_freeze_gl. Only one will succeed, and the other will be stuck in freeze_super, making it impossible to finish freezing the node. To solve this problem, this patch adds the freeze_super and thaw_super hooks. If a filesystem implements these hooks, they are called instead of the vfs freeze_super and thaw_super functions. This means that every filesystem that implements these hooks must call the vfs freeze_super and thaw_super functions itself within the hook function to make use of the vfs freezing code.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Author: David Jeffery <djeffery@redhat.com> Changes to the basic direct I/O code have broken the raw driver when reading to the end of a raw device. Instead of returning a short read for a read that extends partially beyond the device's end or 0 when at the end of the device, these reads now return EIO. The raw driver needs the same end of device handling as was added for normal block devices. Using blkdev_read_iter, which has the needed size checks, prevents the EIO conditions at the end of the device.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | bdev_get_queue() returns the request_queue associated with the specified block_device. blk_get_backing_dev_info() makes use of bdev_get_queue() to determine the associated bdi given a block_device. All the callers of bdev_get_queue() including blk_get_backing_dev_info() assume that bdev_get_queue() may return NULL and implement NULL handling; however, bdev_get_queue() requires the passed in block_device is opened and attached to its gendisk. Because an active gendisk always has a valid request_queue associated with it, bdev_get_queue() can never return NULL and neither can blk_get_backing_dev_info(). Make it clear that neither of the two functions can return NULL and remove NULL handling from all the callers.

* | block_dev: implement readpages() to optimize sequential readAkinobu Mita2014-10-091-0/+7
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Sequential read from a block device is expected to be equal or faster than from the file on a filesystem. But it is not correct due to the lack of effective readpages() in the address space operations for block device. This implements readpages() operation for block device by using mpage_readpages() which can create multipage BIOs instead of BIOs for each page and reduce system CPU time consumption.

As those pages are found from the LRU, an iput() can lead to the inode being freed concurrently. At this point, reclaim must no longer install shadow pages because the inode freeing code needs to ensure the page tree is really empty. Add an address_space flag, AS_EXITING, that the inode freeing code sets under the tree lock before doing the final truncate. Reclaim will check for this flag before installing shadow pages.

| |/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Code in blkdev.c moves a device inode to default_backing_dev_info when the last reference to the device is put and moves the device inode back to its bdi when the first reference is acquired. This includes moving to wb.b_dirty list if the device inode is dirty. The code however doesn't setup timer to wake corresponding flusher thread and while wb.b_dirty list is non-empty __mark_inode_dirty() will not set it up either. Thus periodic writeback is effectively disabled until a sync(2) call which can lead to unexpected data loss in case of crash or power failure. Fix the problem by setting up a timer for periodic writeback in case we add the first dirty inode to wb.b_dirty list in bdev_inode_switch_bdi().

This fails to account for buffer pages that can be under writeback but not PageWriteback which is the case for filesystems like ext3 ordered mode. Furthermore, PageDirty buffer pages can have all the buffers clean and writepage does no IO so it should not be accounted as congested. This patch adds an address_space operation that filesystems may optionally use to check if a page is really dirty or really under writeback. An implementation is provided for for buffer_heads is added and used for block operations and ext3 in ordered mode. By default the page flags are obeyed. Credit goes to Jan Kara for identifying that the page flags alone are not sufficient for ext3 and sanity checking a number of ideas on how the problem could be addressed.
