* exofs: Rename raid engine from exofs/ios.c => oreBoaz Harrosh2011-08-061-28/+28
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | ORE stands for "Objects Raid Engine" This patch is a mechanical rename of everything that was in ios.c and its API declaration to an ore.c and an osd_ore.h header. The ore engine will later be used by the pnfs objects layout driver. * File ios.c => ore.c * Declaration of types and API are moved from exofs.h to a new osd_ore.h * All used types are prefixed by ore_ from their exofs_ name. * Shift includes from exofs.h to osd_ore.h so osd_ore.h is independent, include it from exofs.h. Other than a pure rename there are no other changes. Next patch will move the ore into it's own module and will export the API to be used by exofs and later the layout driver Signed-off-by: Boaz Harrosh <bharrosh@panasas.com>
* exofs: ios: Move to a per inode components & device-tableBoaz Harrosh2011-08-061-66/+70
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Exofs raid engine was saving on memory space by having a single layout-info, single pid, and a single device-table, global to the filesystem. Then passing a credential and object_id info at the io_state level, private for each inode. It would also devise this contraption of rotating the device table view for each inode->ino to spread out the device usage. This is not compatible with the pnfs-objects standard, demanding that each inode can have it's own layout-info, device-table, and each object component it's own pid, oid and creds. So: Bring exofs raid engine to be usable for generic pnfs-objects use by: * Define an exofs_comp structure that holds obj_id and credential info. * Break up exofs_layout struct to an exofs_components structure that holds a possible array of exofs_comp and the array of devices + the size of the arrays. * Add a "comps" parameter to get_io_state() that specifies the ids creds and device array to use for each IO. This enables to keep the layout global, but the device-table view, creds and IDs at the inode level. It only adds two 64bit to each inode, since some of these members already existed in another form. * ios raid engine now access layout-info and comps-info through the passed pointers. Everything is pre-prepared by caller for generic access of these structures and arrays. At the exofs Level: * Super block holds an exofs_components struct that holds the device array, previously in layout. The devices there are in device-table order. The device-array is twice bigger and repeats the device-table twice so now each inode's device array can point to a random device and have a round-robin view of the table, making it compatible to previous exofs versions. * Each inode has an exofs_components struct that is initialized at load time, with it's own view of the device table IDs and creds. When doing IO this gets passed to the io_state together with the layout. While preforming this change. Bugs where found where credentials with the wrong IDs where used to access the different SB objects (super.c). As well as some dead code. It was never noticed because the target we use does not check the credentials. Signed-off-by: Boaz Harrosh <bharrosh@panasas.com>

* exofs: BUG: Avoid sbi reallocBoaz Harrosh2011-08-041-18/+27
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Since the beginning we realloced the sbi structure when a bigger then one device table was specified. (I know that was really stupid). Then much later when "register bdi" was added (By Jens) it was registering the pointer to sbi->bdi before the realloc. We never saw this problem because up till now the realloc did not do anything since the device table was small enough to fit in the original allocation. But once we starting testing with large device tables (Bigger then 28) we noticed the crash of writeback operating on a deallocated pointer. * Avoid the all mess by allocating the device-table as a second array and get rid of the variable-sized structure and the rest of this mess. * Take the chance to clean near by structures and comments. * Add a needed dprint on startup to indicate the loaded layout. * Also move the bdi registration to the very end because it will only fail in a low memory, which will probably fail before hand. There are many more likely causes to not load before that. This way the error handling is made simpler. (Just doing this would be enough to fix the BUG) Signed-off-by: Boaz Harrosh <bharrosh@panasas.com>

* exofs: deprecate the commands pending counterBoaz Harrosh2011-03-151-0/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | One leftover from the days of IBM's original code, is an SB counter that counts in-flight asynchronous commands. And a piece of code that waits for the counter to reach zero at unmount. I guess it might have been needed then, cause of some reference missing or something. I'm not removing it yet but am putting a warning message if ever this counter triggers at unmount. If I'll never see it triggers or reported I'll remove the counter for good. (I had this print as a debug output for a long time and never had it trigger) Signed-off-by: Boaz Harrosh <bharrosh@panasas.com>
* exofs: Write sbi->s_nextid as part of the Create commandBoaz Harrosh2011-03-151-16/+119
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Before when creating a new inode, we'd set the sb->s_dirt flag, and sometime later the system would write out s_nextid as part of the sb_info. Also on inode sync we would force the sb sync as well. Define the s_nextid as a new partition attribute and set it every time we create a new object. At mount we read it from it's new place. We now never set sb->s_dirt anywhere in exofs. write_super is actually never called. The call to exofs_write_super from exofs_put_super is also removed because the VFS always calls ->sync_fs before calling ->put_super twice. To stay backward-and-forward compatible we also write the old s_nextid in the super_block object at unmount, and support zero length attribute on mount. This also fixes a BUG where in layouts when group_width was not a divisor of EXOFS_SUPER_ID (0x10000) the s_nextid was not read from the device it was written to. Because of the sliding window layout trick, and because the read was always done from the 0 device but the write was done via the raid engine that might slide the device view. Now we read and write through the raid engine. Signed-off-by: Boaz Harrosh <bharrosh@panasas.com>
* exofs: Add option to mount by osdnameBoaz Harrosh2011-03-151-4/+27
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If /dev/osd* devices are shuffled because more devices where added, and/or login order has changed. It is hard to mount the FS you want. Add an option to mount by osdname. osdname is any osd-device's osdname as specified to the mkfs.exofs command when formatting the osd-devices. The new mount format is: OPT="osdname=$UUID0,pid=$PID,_netdev" mount -t exofs -o $OPT $DEV_OSD0 $MOUNTDIR if "osdname=" is specified in options above $DEV_OSD0 is ignored and can be empty.

* fs: icache RCU free inodesNick Piggin2011-01-071-1/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | RCU free the struct inode. This will allow: - Subsequent store-free path walking patch. The inode must be consulted for permissions when walking, so an RCU inode reference is a must. - sb_inode_list_lock to be moved inside i_lock because sb list walkers who want to take i_lock no longer need to take sb_inode_list_lock to walk the list in the first place. This will simplify and optimize locking. - Could remove some nested trylock loops in dcache code - Could potentially simplify things a bit in VM land. Do not need to take the page lock to follow page->mapping. The downsides of this is the performance cost of using RCU. In a simple creat/unlink microbenchmark, performance drops by about 10% due to inability to reuse cache-hot slab objects. As iterations increase and RCU freeing starts kicking over, this increases to about 20%. In cases where inode lifetimes are longer (ie. many inodes may be allocated during the average life span of a single inode), a lot of this cache reuse is not applicable, so the regression caused by this patch is smaller. The cache-hot regression could largely be avoided by using SLAB_DESTROY_BY_RCU, however this adds some complexity to list walking and store-free path walking, so I prefer to implement this at a later date, if it is shown to be a win in real situations. I haven't found a regression in any non-micro benchmark so I doubt it will be a problem. Signed-off-by: Nick Piggin <npiggin@kernel.dk>

* include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking ↵Tejun Heo2010-03-301-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being included when building most .c files. percpu.h includes slab.h which in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies. percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed. Prepare for this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those headers directly instead of assuming availability. As this conversion needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is used as the basis of conversion. http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py The script does the followings. * Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that only the necessary includes are there. ie. if only gfp is used, gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h. * When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms to its surrounding. It's put in the include block which contains core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered - alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there doesn't seem to be any matching order. * If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the file. The conversion was done in the following steps. 1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h and ~3000 slab.h inclusions. The script emitted errors for ~400 files. 2. Each error was manually checked. Some didn't need the inclusion, some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or embedding .c file was more appropriate for others. This step added inclusions to around 150 files. 3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits from #2 to make sure no file was left behind. 4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed. e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually. 5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell. Most gfp.h inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros. Each slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as necessary. 6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h. 7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures were fixed. CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq). * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config. * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig * ia64 SMP allmodconfig * s390 SMP allmodconfig * alpha SMP allmodconfig * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig 8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as a separate patch and serve as bisection point. Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step 6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch. If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of the specific arch.

* exofs: RAID0 supportBoaz Harrosh2010-02-281-7/+45
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We now support striping over mirror devices. Including variable sized stripe_unit. Some limits: * stripe_unit must be a multiple of PAGE_SIZE * stripe_unit * stripe_count is maximum upto 32-bit (4Gb) Tested RAID0 over mirrors, RAID0 only, mirrors only. All check. Design notes: * I'm not using a vectored raid-engine mechanism yet. Following the pnfs-objects-layout data-map structure, "Mirror" is just a private case of "group_width" == 1, and RAID0 is a private case of "Mirrors" == 1. The performance lose of the general case over the particular special case optimization is totally negligible, also considering the extra code size. * In general I added a prepare_stripes() stage that divides the to-be-io pages to the participating devices, the previous exofs_ios_write/read, now becomes _write/read_mirrors and a new write/read upper layer loops on all devices calling _write/read_mirrors. Effectively the prepare_stripes stage is the all secret. Also truncate need fixing to accommodate for striping. * In a RAID0 arrangement, in a regular usage scenario, if all inode layouts will start at the same device, the small files fill up the first device and the later devices stay empty, the farther the device the emptier it is. To fix that, each inode will start at a different stripe_unit, according to it's obj_id modulus number-of-stripe-units. And will then span all stripe-units in the same incrementing order wrapping back to the beginning of the device table. We call it a stripe-units moving window. Special consideration was taken to keep all devices in a mirror arrangement identical. So a broken osd-device could just be cloned from one of the mirrors and no FS scrubbing is needed. (We do that by rotating stripe-unit at a time and not a single device at a time.) TODO: We no longer verify object_length == inode->i_size in exofs_iget. (since i_size is stripped on multiple objects now). I should introduce a multiple-device attribute reading, and use it in exofs_iget. Signed-off-by: Boaz Harrosh <bharrosh@panasas.com>

* exofs: Multi-device mirror supportBoaz Harrosh2009-12-101-8/+212
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch changes on-disk format, it is accompanied with a parallel patch to mkfs.exofs that enables multi-device capabilities. After this patch, old exofs will refuse to mount a new formatted FS and new exofs will refuse an old format. This is done by moving the magic field offset inside the FSCB. A new FSCB *version* field was added. In the future, exofs will refuse to mount unmatched FSCB version. To up-grade or down-grade an exofs one must use mkfs.exofs --upgrade option before mounting. Introduced, a new object that contains a *device-table*. This object contains the default *data-map* and a linear array of devices information, which identifies the devices used in the filesystem. This object is only written to offline by mkfs.exofs. This is why it is kept separate from the FSCB, since the later is written to while mounted. Same partition number, same object number is used on all devices only the device varies. * define the new format, then load the device table on mount time make sure every thing is supported. * Change I/O engine to now support Mirror IO, .i.e write same data to multiple devices, read from a random device to spread the read-load from multiple clients (TODO: stripe read) Implementation notes: A few points introduced in previous patch should be mentioned here: * Special care was made so absolutlly all operation that have any chance of failing are done before any osd-request is executed. This is to minimize the need for a data consistency recovery, to only real IO errors. * Each IO state has a kref. It starts at 1, any osd-request executed will increment the kref, finally when all are executed the first ref is dropped. At IO-done, each request completion decrements the kref, the last one to return executes the internal _last_io() routine. _last_io() will call the registered io_state_done. On sync mode a caller does not supply a done method, indicating a synchronous request, the caller is put to sleep and a special io_state_done is registered that will awaken the caller. Though also in sync mode all operations are executed in parallel. Signed-off-by: Boaz Harrosh <bharrosh@panasas.com>
* exofs: Move all operations to an io_engineBoaz Harrosh2009-12-101-77/+43
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In anticipation for multi-device operations, we separate osd operations into an abstract I/O API. Currently only one device is used but later when adding more devices, we will drive all devices in parallel according to a "data_map" that describes how data is arranged on multiple devices. The file system level operates, like before, as if there is one object (inode-number) and an i_size. The io engine will split this to the same object-number but on multiple device. At first we introduce Mirror (raid 1) layout. But at the final outcome we intend to fully implement the pNFS-Objects data-map, including raid 0,4,5,6 over mirrored devices, over multiple device-groups. And more. See: http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-nfsv4-pnfs-obj-12 * Define an io_state based API for accessing osd storage devices in an abstract way. Usage: First a caller allocates an io state with: exofs_get_io_state(struct exofs_sb_info *sbi, struct exofs_io_state** ios); Then calles one of: exofs_sbi_create(struct exofs_io_state *ios); exofs_sbi_remove(struct exofs_io_state *ios); exofs_sbi_write(struct exofs_io_state *ios); exofs_sbi_read(struct exofs_io_state *ios); exofs_oi_truncate(struct exofs_i_info *oi, u64 new_len); And when done exofs_put_io_state(struct exofs_io_state *ios); * Convert all source files to use this new API * Convert from bio_alloc to bio_kmalloc * In io engine we make use of the now fixed osd_req_decode_sense There are no functional changes or on disk additions after this patch.

[AV: original used to move lock_super() down as well; these changes are removed since we don't do lock_super() at all in generic_shutdown_super() now] [AV: fuse, btrfs and xfs are known to need no damn BKL, exempt] Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de> Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>
* remove ->write_super call in generic_shutdown_superChristoph Hellwig2009-06-111-0/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We just did a full fs writeout using sync_filesystem before, and if that's not enough for the filesystem it can perform it's own writeout in ->put_super, which many filesystems already do. Move a call to foofs_write_super into every foofs_put_super for now to guarantee identical behaviour until it's cleaned up by the individual filesystem maintainers. Exceptions: - affs already has identical copy & pasted code at the beginning of affs_put_super so no need to do it twice. - xfs does the right thing without it and I have changes pending for the xfs tree touching this are so I don't really need conflicts here..

* exofs: super_operations and file_system_typeBoaz Harrosh2009-03-311-0/+531
This patch ties all operation vectors into a file system superblock and registers the exofs file_system_type at module's load time. * The file system control block (AKA on-disk superblock) resides in an object with a special ID (defined in common.h). Information included in the file system control block is used to fill the in-memory superblock structure at mount time. This object is created before the file system is used by mkexofs.c It contains information such as: - The file system's magic number - The next inode number to be allocated Signed-off-by: Boaz Harrosh <bharrosh@panasas.com>
