* ext4: teach the inode allocator to use a goal inode numberAndreas Dilger2009-06-131-4/+12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Enhance the inode allocator to take a goal inode number as a paremeter; if it is specified, it takes precedence over Orlov or parent directory inode allocation algorithms. The extents migration function uses the goal inode number so that the extent trees allocated the migration function use the correct flex_bg. In the future, the goal inode functionality will also be used to allocate an adjacent inode for the extended attributes. Also, for testing purposes the goal inode number can be specified via /sys/fs/{dev}/inode_goal. This can be useful for testing inode allocation beyond 2^32 blocks on very large filesystems.

* ext4: Avoid races caused by on-line resizing and SMP memory reorderingTheodore Ts'o2009-05-011-21/+19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Ext4's on-line resizing adds a new block group and then, only at the last step adjusts s_groups_count. However, it's possible on SMP systems that another CPU could see the updated the s_group_count and not see the newly initialized data structures for the just-added block group. For this reason, it's important to insert a SMP read barrier after reading s_groups_count and before reading any (for example) the new block group descriptors allowed by the increased value of s_groups_count. Unfortunately, we rather blatently violate this locking protocol documented in fs/ext4/resize.c. Fortunately, (1) on-line resizes happen relatively rarely, and (2) it seems rare that the filesystem code will immediately try to use just-added block group before any memory ordering issues resolve themselves. So apparently problems here are relatively hard to hit, since ext3 has been vulnerable to the same issue for years with no one apparently complaining. Signed-off-by: "Theodore Ts'o" <tytso@mit.edu>

* ext4: New inode/block allocation algorithms for flex_bg filesystemsTheodore Ts'o2009-03-121-56/+159
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The find_group_flex() inode allocator is now only used if the filesystem is mounted using the "oldalloc" mount option. It is replaced with the original Orlov allocator that has been updated for flex_bg filesystems (it should behave the same way if flex_bg is disabled). The inode allocator now functions by taking into account each flex_bg group, instead of each block group, when deciding whether or not it's time to allocate a new directory into a fresh flex_bg. The block allocator has also been changed so that the first block group in each flex_bg is preferred for use for storing directory blocks. This keeps directory blocks close together, which is good for speeding up e2fsck since large directories are more likely to look like this: debugfs: stat /home/tytso/Maildir/cur Inode: 1844562 Type: directory Mode: 0700 Flags: 0x81000 Generation: 1132745781 Version: 0x00000000:0000ad71 User: 15806 Group: 15806 Size: 1060864 File ACL: 0 Directory ACL: 0 Links: 2 Blockcount: 2072 Fragment: Address: 0 Number: 0 Size: 0 ctime: 0x499c0ff4:164961f4 -- Wed Feb 18 08:41:08 2009 atime: 0x499c0ff4:00000000 -- Wed Feb 18 08:41:08 2009 mtime: 0x49957f51:00000000 -- Fri Feb 13 09:10:25 2009 crtime: 0x499c0f57:00d51440 -- Wed Feb 18 08:38:31 2009 Size of extra inode fields: 28 BLOCKS: (0):7348651, (1-258):7348654-7348911 TOTAL: 259 Signed-off-by: "Theodore Ts'o" <tytso@mit.edu>
* ext4: tighten restrictions on inode flagsDuane Griffin2009-02-151-9/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | At the moment there are few restrictions on which flags may be set on which inodes. Specifically DIRSYNC may only be set on directories and IMMUTABLE and APPEND may not be set on links. Tighten that to disallow TOPDIR being set on non-directories and only NODUMP and NOATIME to be set on non-regular file, non-directories. Introduces a flags masking function which masks flags based on mode and use it during inode creation and when flags are set via the ioctl to facilitate future consistency.

* ext4: fix ext4_free_inode() vs. ext4_claim_inode() raceEric Sandeen2009-03-041-3/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | I was seeing fsck errors on inode bitmaps after a 4 thread dbench run on a 4 cpu machine: Inode bitmap differences: -50736 -(50752--50753) etc... I believe that this is because ext4_free_inode() uses atomic bitops, and although ext4_new_inode() *used* to also use atomic bitops for synchronization, commit 393418676a7602e1d7d3f6e560159c65c8cbd50e changed this to use the sb_bgl_lock, so that we could also synchronize against read_inode_bitmap and initialization of uninit inode tables. However, that change left ext4_free_inode using atomic bitops, which I think leaves no synchronization between setting & unsetting bits in the inode table. The below patch fixes it for me, although I wonder if we're getting at all heavy-handed with this spinlock...

* ext4: Add fallback for find_group_flexTheodore Ts'o2009-02-211-0/+7
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This is a workaround for find_group_flex() which badly needs to be replaced. One of its problems (besides ignoring the Orlov algorithm) is that it is a bit hyperactive about returning failure under suspicious circumstances. This can lead to spurious ENOSPC failures even when there are inodes still available. Work around this for now by retrying the search using find_group_other() if find_group_flex() returns -1. If find_group_other() succeeds when find_group_flex() has failed, log a warning message. A better block/inode allocator that will fix this problem for real has been queued up for the next merge window. Signed-off-by: "Theodore Ts'o" <tytso@mit.edu>
* ext4: Remove "extents" mount optionTheodore Ts'o2009-01-061-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | This mount option is largely superfluous, and in fact the way it was implemented was buggy; if a filesystem which did not have the extents feature flag was mounted -o extents, the filesystem would attempt to create and use extents-based file even though the extents feature flag was not eabled. The simplest thing to do is to nuke the mount option entirely. It's not all that useful to force the non-creation of new extent-based files if the filesystem can support it.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We need to make sure we update the inode bitmap and clear EXT4_BG_INODE_UNINIT flag with sb_bgl_lock held, since ext4_read_inode_bitmap() looks at EXT4_BG_INODE_UNINIT to decide whether to initialize the inode bitmap each time it is called. (introduced by commit c806e68f.) ext4_read_inode_bitmap does: spin_lock(sb_bgl_lock(EXT4_SB(sb), block_group)); if (desc->bg_flags & cpu_to_le16(EXT4_BG_INODE_UNINIT)) { ext4_init_inode_bitmap(sb, bh, block_group, desc); and ext4_new_inode does if (!ext4_set_bit_atomic(sb_bgl_lock(sbi, group), ino, inode_bitmap_bh->b_data)) ...... ... spin_lock(sb_bgl_lock(sbi, group)); gdp->bg_flags &= cpu_to_le16(~EXT4_BG_INODE_UNINIT); i.e., on allocation we update the bitmap then we take the sb_bgl_lock and clear the EXT4_BG_INODE_UNINIT flag. What can happen is a parallel ext4_read_inode_bitmap can zero out the bitmap in between the above ext4_set_bit_atomic and spin_lock(sb_bg_lock..)

It just so happens that running without a journal is slightly faster for most everything. We did iozone -T -t 4 s 2g -r 256k -T -I -i0 -i1 -i2 which creates 4 threads, each of which create and do reads and writes on a 2G file, with a buffer size of 256K, using O_DIRECT for all file opens to bypass the page cache. Results: ext2 ext4, default ext4, no journal initial writes 13.0 MB/s 15.4 MB/s 15.7 MB/s rewrites 13.1 MB/s 15.6 MB/s 15.9 MB/s reads 15.2 MB/s 16.9 MB/s 17.2 MB/s re-reads 15.3 MB/s 16.9 MB/s 17.2 MB/s random readers 5.6 MB/s 5.6 MB/s 5.7 MB/s random writers 5.1 MB/s 5.3 MB/s 5.4 MB/s So it seems that, so far, this was a useful exercise.

* ext4: fix initialization of UNINIT bitmap blocksFrederic Bohe2008-10-101-1/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This fixes a bug which caused on-line resizing of filesystems with a 1k blocksize to fail. The root cause of this bug was the fact that if an uninitalized bitmap block gets read in by userspace (which e2fsprogs does try to avoid, but can happen when the blocksize is less than the pagesize and an adjacent blocks is read into memory) ext4_read_block_bitmap() was erroneously depending on the buffer uptodate flag to decide whether it needed to initialize the bitmap block in memory --- i.e., to set the standard set of blocks in use by a block group (superblock, bitmaps, inode table, etc.). Essentially, ext4_read_block_bitmap() assumed it was the only routine that might try to read a block containing a block bitmap, which is simply not true. To fix this, ext4_read_block_bitmap() and ext4_read_inode_bitmap() must always initialize uninitialized bitmap blocks. Once a block or inode is allocated out of that bitmap, it will be marked as initialized in the block group descriptor, so in general this won't result any extra unnecessary work.

Some of the flex groups searched have free blocks and free inodes, but the flex_freeb_ratio is < 10, so they're skipped. Then when a group is compared to the current "best" flex group, it does not have more free blocks than "best", so it is skipped as well. This continues until no flex group with free inodes is found which has a proper ratio or which has more free blocks than the "best" group, and we're left with a "best" group that has 0 inodes free, and we return -ENOSPC. We fix this by changing the logic so that if the current "best" flex group has no inodes free, and the current one does have room, it is promoted to the next "best."

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | I noticed when filling a 1T filesystem with 4 threads using the fs_mark benchmark: fs_mark -d /mnt/test -D 256 -n 100000 -t 4 -s 20480 -F -S 0 that I occasionally got checksum mismatch errors: EXT4-fs error (device sdb): ext4_init_inode_bitmap: Checksum bad for group 6935 etc. I'd reliably get 4-5 of them during the run.

* ext4: New inode allocation for FLEX_BG meta-data groups.Jose R. Santos2008-07-111-0/+96
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch mostly controls the way inode are allocated in order to make ialloc aware of flex_bg block group grouping. It achieves this by bypassing the Orlov allocator when block group meta-data are packed toghether through mke2fs. Since the impact on the block allocator is minimal, this patch should have little or no effect on other block allocation algorithms. By controlling the inode allocation, it can basically control where the initial search for new block begins and thus indirectly manipulate the block allocator. This allocator favors data and meta-data locality so the disk will gradually be filled from block group zero upward. This helps improve performance by reducing seek time. Since the group of inode tables within one flex_bg are treated as one giant inode table, uninitialized block groups would not need to partially initialize as many inode table as with Orlov which would help fsck time as the filesystem usage goes up.

* ext4: Rename read_block_bitmap() to ext4_read_block_bitmap()Theodore Ts'o2008-07-111-1/+1

* ext4: handle corrupted orphan list at mountDuane Griffin2008-07-111-0/+9
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | If the orphan node list includes valid, untruncatable nodes with nlink > 0 the ext4_orphan_cleanup loop which attempts to delete them will not do so, causing it to loop forever. Fix by checking for such nodes in the ext4_orphan_get function. This patch fixes the second case (image hdb.20000009.softlockup.gz) reported in http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10882.

* ext4: mark inode dirty after initializing the extent treeAneesh Kumar K.V2008-04-291-6/+7

* ext4: Enable extent format for symlinks.Aneesh Kumar K.V2008-04-291-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | This patch enables extent-formatted normal symlinks. Using extents format allows a symlink to refer to a block number larger than 2^32 on large filesystems. We still don't enable extent format for fast symlinks, which are contained in the inode itself.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | In addition, don't inherit EXT4_EXTENTS_FL from parent directory. If we have a directory with extent flag set and later mount the file system with -o noextents, the files created in that directory will also have extent flag set but we would not have called ext4_ext_tree_init for them.
