* jbd: remove excess kernel-doc notationRandy Dunlap2009-01-081-1/+0
| | | | | | | | | | Remove excess kernel-doc from fs/jbd/transaction.c: Warning(linux-2.6.28-git5//fs/jbd/transaction.c:764): Excess function parameter 'credits' description in 'journal_get_write_access' Signed-off-by: Randy Dunlap <randy.dunlap@oracle.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
* jbd: improve fsync batchingJosef Bacik2009-01-082-5/+48
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | There is a flaw with the way jbd handles fsync batching. If we fsync() a file and we were not the last person to run fsync() on this fs then we automatically sleep for 1 jiffie in order to wait for new writers to join into the transaction before forcing the commit. The problem with this is that with really fast storage (ie a Clariion) the time it takes to commit a transaction to disk is way faster than 1 jiffie in most cases, so sleeping means waiting longer with nothing to do than if we just committed the transaction and kept going. Ric Wheeler noticed this when using fs_mark with more than 1 thread, the throughput would plummet as he added more threads. This patch attempts to fix this problem by recording the average time in nanoseconds that it takes to commit a transaction to disk, and what time we started the transaction. If we run an fsync() and we have been running for less time than it takes to commit the transaction to disk, we sleep for the delta amount of time and then commit to disk. We acheive sub-jiffie sleeping using schedule_hrtimeout. This means that the wait time is auto-tuned to the speed of the underlying disk, instead of having this static timeout. I weighted the average according to somebody's comments (Andreas Dilger I think) in order to help normalize random outliers where we take way longer or way less time to commit than the average. I also have a min() check in there to make sure we don't sleep longer than a jiffie in case our storage is super slow, this was requested by Andrew. I unfortunately do not have access to a Clariion, so I had to use a ramdisk to represent a super fast array. I tested with a SATA drive with barrier=1 to make sure there was no regression with local disks, I tested with a 4 way multipathed Apple Xserve RAID array and of course the ramdisk. I ran the following command fs_mark -d /mnt/ext3-test -s 4096 -n 2000 -D 64 -t $i where $i was 2, 4, 8, 16 and 32. I mkfs'ed the fs each time.

* jbd: don't give up looking for space so easily in __log_wait_for_spaceTheodore Ts'o2008-11-061-7/+24
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Commit be07c4ed introducd a regression because it assumed that if there were no transactions ready to be checkpointed, that no progress could be made on making space available in the journal, and so the journal should be aborted. This assumption is false; it could be the case that simply calling cleanup_journal_tail() will recover the necessary space, or, for small journals, the currently committing transaction could be responsible for chewing up the required space in the log, so we need to wait for the currently committing transaction to finish before trying to force a checkpoint operation.

* jbd: abort instead of waiting for nonexistent transactionsDuane Griffin2008-10-231-2/+17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The __log_wait_for_space function sits in a loop checkpointing transactions until there is sufficient space free in the journal. However, if there are no transactions to be processed (e.g. because the free space calculation is wrong due to a corrupted filesystem) it will never progress. Check for space being required when no transactions are outstanding and abort the journal instead of endlessly looping.

* jbd: fix error handling for checkpoint ioHidehiro Kawai2008-10-233-20/+64
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When a checkpointing IO fails, current JBD code doesn't check the error and continue journaling. This means latest metadata can be lost from both the journal and filesystem. This patch leaves the failed metadata blocks in the journal space and aborts journaling in the case of log_do_checkpoint(). To achieve this, we need to do: 1. don't remove the failed buffer from the checkpoint list where in the case of __try_to_free_cp_buf() because it may be released or overwritten by a later transaction 2. log_do_checkpoint() is the last chance, remove the failed buffer from the checkpoint list and abort the journal 3. when checkpointing fails, don't update the journal super block to prevent the journaled contents from being cleaned. For safety, don't update j_tail and j_tail_sequence either 4. when checkpointing fails, notify this error to the ext3 layer so that ext3 don't clear the needs_recovery flag, otherwise the journaled contents are ignored and cleaned in the recovery phase 5. if the recovery fails, keep the needs_recovery flag 6. prevent cleanup_journal_tail() from being called between __journal_drop_transaction() and journal_abort() (a race issue between journal_flush() and __log_wait_for_space() Signed-off-by: Hidehiro Kawai <hidehiro.kawai.ez@hitachi.com> Acked-by: Jan Kara <jack@suse.cz> Cc: <linux-ext4@vger.kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In ordered mode, if a file data buffer being dirtied exists in the committing transaction, we write the buffer to the disk, move it from the committing transaction to the running transaction, then dirty it.

* ext3: add an option to control error handling on file dataHidehiro Kawai2008-10-201-0/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If the journal doesn't abort when it gets an IO error in file data blocks, the file data corruption will spread silently. Because most of applications and commands do buffered writes without fsync(), they don't notice the IO error. It's scary for mission critical systems. On the other hand, if the journal aborts whenever it gets an IO error in file data blocks, the system will easily become inoperable. So this patch introduces a filesystem option to determine whether it aborts the journal or just call printk() when it gets an IO error in file data. If you mount a ext3 fs with data_err=abort option, it aborts on file data write error. If you mount it with data_err=ignore, it doesn't abort, just call printk(). data_err=ignore is the default.

* jbd: don't dirty original metadata buffer on abortHidehiro Kawai2008-10-201-1/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently, original metadata buffers are dirtied when they are unfiled whether the journal has aborted or not. Eventually these buffers will be written-back to the filesystem by pdflush. This means some metadata buffers are written to the filesystem without journaling if the journal aborts. So if both journal abort and system crash happen at the same time, the filesystem would become inconsistent state. Additionally, replaying journaled metadata can overwrite the latest metadata on the filesystem partly. Because, if the journal aborts, journaled metadata are preserved and replayed during the next mount not to lose uncheckpointed metadata. This would also break the consistency of the filesystem. This patch prevents original metadata buffers from being dirtied on abort by clearing BH_JBDDirty flag from those buffers. Thus, no metadata buffers are written to the filesystem without journaling.

* jbd: don't abort if flushing file data failedHidehiro Kawai2008-07-251-7/+28
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In ordered mode, the current jbd aborts the journal if a file data buffer has an error. But this behavior is unintended, and we found that it has been adopted accidentally. This patch undoes it and just calls printk() instead of aborting the journal. Additionally, set AS_EIO into the address_space object of the failed buffer which is submitted by journal_do_submit_data() so that fsync() can get -EIO. Missing error checkings are also added to inform errors on file data buffers to the user. The following buffers are targeted.

Remaining pages can be released when the system has really few memory. So, it is not memory leakage. But the resource management software etc. may not work correctly. It is possible that journal_unmap_buffer() cannot release the buffers, and the pages to which they belong because they are attached to a commiting transaction and journal_unmap_buffer() cannot release them. To release such the buffers and the pages later, journal_unmap_buffer() leaves it to journal_commit_transaction(). (journal_unmap_buffer() puts the mark 'BH_Freed' to the buffers so that journal_commit_transaction() can identify whether they can be released or not.) In the journalled mode and the writeback mode, jbd does with only metadata buffers. But in the ordered mode, jbd does with metadata buffers and also data buffers. Actually, journal_commit_transaction() releases only the metadata buffers of which release is demanded by journal_unmap_buffer(), and also releases the pages to which they belong if possible. As a result, the data buffers of which release is demanded by journal_unmap_buffer() remain after a transaction commits. And also the pages to which they belong remain. Such the remained pages don't have mapping any longer. Due to this fact, there is a possibility that the pages which cannot be estimated remain. The metadata buffers marked 'BH_Freed' and the pages to which they belong can be released at 'JBD: commit phase 7'. Therefore, by applying the same code into 'JBD: commit phase 2' (where the data buffers are done with), journal_commit_transaction() can also release the data buffers marked 'BH_Freed' and the pages to which they belong. As a result, all the buffers marked 'BH_Freed' can be released, and also all the pages to which these buffers belong can be released at journal_commit_transaction(). So, the page which cannot be estimated is lost. <<Excerpt of code at 'JBD: commit phase 7'>> > spin_lock(&journal->j_list_lock); > while (commit_transaction->t_forget) { > transaction_t *cp_transaction; > struct buffer_head *bh; > > jh = commit_transaction->t_forget; >... > if (buffer_freed(bh)) { > ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ > clear_buffer_freed(bh); > ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ > clear_buffer_jbddirty(bh); > } > > if (buffer_jbddirty(bh)) { > JBUFFER_TRACE(jh, "add to new checkpointing trans"); > __journal_insert_checkpoint(jh, commit_transaction); > JBUFFER_TRACE(jh, "refile for checkpoint writeback"); > __journal_refile_buffer(jh); > jbd_unlock_bh_state(bh); > } else { > J_ASSERT_BH(bh, !buffer_dirty(bh)); > ... > JBUFFER_TRACE(jh, "refile or unfile freed buffer"); > __journal_refile_buffer(jh); > if (!jh->b_transaction) { > jbd_unlock_bh_state(bh); > /* needs a brelse */ > journal_remove_journal_head(bh); > release_buffer_page(bh); > ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ > } else > } **************************************************************** * Apply the code of "^^^^^^" lines into 'JBD: commit phase 2' * **************************************************************** At journal_commit_transaction() code, there is one extra message in the series of jbd debug messages.

* jbd: fix race between free buffer and commit transactionMingming Cao2008-07-251-2/+55
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | journal_try_to_free_buffers() could race with jbd commit transaction when the later is holding the buffer reference while waiting for the data buffer to flush to disk. If the caller of journal_try_to_free_buffers() request tries hard to release the buffers, it will treat the failure as error and return back to the caller. We have seen the directo IO failed due to this race. Some of the caller of releasepage() also expecting the buffer to be dropped when passed with GFP_KERNEL mask to the releasepage()->journal_try_to_free_buffers(). With this patch, if the caller is passing the __GFP_WAIT and __GFP_FS to indicating this call could wait, in case of try_to_free_buffers() failed, let's waiting for journal_commit_transaction() to finish commit the current committing transaction, then try to free those buffers again.

* jbd: fix possible journal overflow issuesJosef Bacik2008-04-282-3/+21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | There are several cases where the running transaction can get buffers added to its BJ_Metadata list which it never dirtied, which makes its t_nr_buffers counter end up larger than its t_outstanding_credits counter. This will cause issues when starting new transactions as while we are logging buffers we decrement t_outstanding_buffers, so when t_outstanding_buffers goes negative, we will report that we need less space in the journal than we actually need, so transactions will be started even though there may not be enough room for them. In the worst case scenario (which admittedly is almost impossible to reproduce) this will result in the journal running out of space. The fix is to only refile buffers from the committing transaction to the running transactions BJ_Modified list when b_modified is set on that journal, which is the only way to be sure if the running transaction has modified that buffer. This patch also fixes an accounting error in journal_forget, it is possible that we can call journal_forget on a buffer without having modified it, only gotten write access to it, so instead of freeing a credit, we only do so if the buffer was modified. The assert will help catch if this problem occurs. Without these two patches I could hit this assert within minutes of running postmark, with them this issue no longer arises.

* jbd: fix the way the b_modified flag is clearedJosef Bacik2008-04-282-16/+13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently at the start of a journal commit we loop through all of the buffers on the committing transaction and clear the b_modified flag (the flag that is set when a transaction modifies the buffer) under the j_list_lock. The problem is that everywhere else this flag is modified only under the jbd lock buffer flag, so it will race with a running transaction who could potentially set it, and have it unset by the committing transaction. This is also a big waste, you can have several thousands of buffers that you are clearing the modified flag on when you may not need to. This patch removes this code and instead clears the b_modified flag upon entering do_get_write_access/journal_get_create_access, so if that transaction does indeed use the buffer then it will be accounted for properly, and if it does not then we know we didn't use it. That will be important for the next patch in this series. Tested thoroughly by myself using postmark/iozone/bonnie++.

* jbd: correctly unescape journal data blocksDuane Griffin2008-03-191-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Fix a long-standing typo (predating git) that will cause data corruption if a journal data block needs unescaping. At the moment the wrong buffer head's data is being unescaped. To test this case mount a filesystem with data=journal, start creating and deleting a bunch of files containing only JFS_MAGIC_NUMBER (0xc03b3998), then pull the plug on the device. Without this patch the files will contain zeros instead of the correct data after recovery.

* ext3 can fail badly when device stops accepting BIO_RW_BARRIER requestsNeil Brown2008-02-081-1/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Some devices - notably dm and md - can change their behaviour in response to BIO_RW_BARRIER requests. They might start out accepting such requests but on reconfiguration, they find out that they cannot any more. ext3 (and other filesystems) deal with this by always testing if BIO_RW_BARRIER requests fail with EOPNOTSUPP, and retrying the write requests without the barrier (probably after waiting for any pending writes to complete). However there is a bug in the handling for this for ext3. When ext3 (jbd actually) decides to submit a BIO_RW_BARRIER request, it sets the buffer_ordered flag on the buffer head. If the request completes successfully, the flag STAYS SET. Other code might then write the same buffer_head after the device has been reconfigured to not accept barriers. This write will then fail, but the "other code" is not ready to handle EOPNOTSUPP errors and the error will be treated as fatal. This can be seen without having to reconfigure a device at exactly the wrong time by putting: if (buffer_ordered(bh)) printk("OH DEAR, and ordered buffer\n"); in the while loop in "commit phase 5" of journal_commit_transaction. If it ever prints the "OH DEAR ..." message (as it does sometimes for me), then that request could (in different circumstances) have failed with EOPNOTSUPP, but that isn't tested for. My proposed fix is to clear the buffer_ordered flag after it has been used, as in the following patch.

* spinlock: lockbreak cleanupNick Piggin2008-01-302-2/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The break_lock data structure and code for spinlocks is quite nasty. Not only does it double the size of a spinlock but it changes locking to a potentially less optimal trylock. Put all of that under CONFIG_GENERIC_LOCKBREAK, and introduce a __raw_spin_is_contended that uses the lock data itself to determine whether there are waiters on the lock, to be used if CONFIG_GENERIC_LOCKBREAK is not set. Rename need_lockbreak to spin_needbreak, make it use spin_is_contended to decouple it from the spinlock implementation, and make it typesafe (rwlocks do not have any need_lockbreak sites -- why do they even get bloated up with that break_lock then?).

* jbd: Fix assertion failure in fs/jbd/checkpoint.cJan Kara2007-12-052-10/+10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Before we start committing a transaction, we call __journal_clean_checkpoint_list() to cleanup transaction's written-back buffers. If this call happens to remove all of them (and there were already some buffers), __journal_remove_checkpoint() will decide to free the transaction because it isn't (yet) a committing transaction and soon we fail some assertion - the transaction really isn't ready to be freed :). We change the check in __journal_remove_checkpoint() to free only a transaction in T_FINISHED state. The locking there is subtle though (as everywhere in JBD ;(). We use j_list_lock to protect the check and a subsequent call to __journal_drop_transaction() and do the same in the end of journal_commit_transaction() which is the only place where a transaction can get to T_FINISHED state. Probably I'm too paranoid here and such locking is not really necessary - checkpoint lists are processed only from log_do_checkpoint() where a transaction must be already committed to be processed or from __journal_clean_checkpoint_list() where kjournald itself calls it and thus transaction cannot change state either. Better be safe if something changes in future...

* JBD: Fix JBD warnings when compiling with CONFIG_JBD_DEBUGJose R. Santos2007-10-191-3/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Note from Mingming's JBD2 fix: Noticed all warnings are occurs when the debug level is 0. Then found the "jbd2: Move jbd2-debug file to debugfs" patch http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commit;h=0f49d5d019afa4e94253bfc92f0daca3badb990b changed the jbd2_journal_enable_debug from int type to u8, makes the jbd_debug comparision is always true when the debugging level is 0. Thus the compile warning occurs. Thought about changing the jbd2_journal_enable_debug data type back to int, but can't, because the jbd2-debug is moved to debug fs, where calling debugfs_create_u8() to create the debugfs entry needs the value to be u8 type. Even if we changed the data type back to int, the code is still buggy, kernel should not print jbd2 debug message if the jbd2_journal_enable_debug is set to 0. But this is not the case. The fix is change the level of debugging to 1. The same should fixed in ext3/JBD, but currently ext3 jbd-debug via /proc fs is broken, so we probably should fix it all together.

* jbd: fix commit code to properly abort journalJan Kara2007-10-191-4/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | We should really call journal_abort() and not __journal_abort_hard() in case of errors.

* jbd: config_jbd_debug cannot create /proc entryJose R. Santos2007-10-191-43/+21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The jbd-debug file used to be located in /proc/sys/fs/jbd-debug, but create_proc_entry() does not do lookups on file names that are more that one directory deep. This causes the entry creation to fail and hence, no proc file is created. Instead of fixing this on procfs might as well move the jbd2-debug file to debugfs which would be the preferred location for this kind of tunable. The new location is now /sys/kernel/debug/jbd/jbd-debug. [akpm@linux-foundation.org: zillions of cleanups] Signed-off-by: Jose R.

* Group short-lived and reclaimable kernel allocationsMel Gorman2007-10-162-4/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch marks a number of allocations that are either short-lived such as network buffers or are reclaimable such as inode allocations. When something like updatedb is called, long-lived and unmovable kernel allocations tend to be spread throughout the address space which increases fragmentation. This patch groups these allocations together as much as possible by adding a new MIGRATE_TYPE. The MIGRATE_RECLAIMABLE type is for allocations that can be reclaimed on demand, but not moved. i.e. they can be migrated by deleting them and re-reading the information from elsewhere.

* mm: Remove slab destructors from kmem_cache_create().Paul Mundt2007-07-202-7/+5

They've been BUGs for both slab and slub, and slob never supported them either. This rips out support for the dtor pointer from kmem_cache_create() completely and fixes up every single callsite in the kernel (there were about 224, not including the slab allocator definitions themselves, or the documentation references).
