* mm: add account_page_writeback()Michael Rubin2010-10-261-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | To help developers and applications gain visibility into writeback behaviour this patch adds two counters to /proc/vmstat. # grep nr_dirtied /proc/vmstat nr_dirtied 3747 # grep nr_written /proc/vmstat nr_written 3618 These entries allow user apps to understand writeback behaviour over time and learn how it is impacting their performance. Currently there is no way to inspect dirty and writeback speed over time. It's not possible for nr_dirty/nr_writeback. These entries are necessary to give visibility into writeback behaviour. We have /proc/diskstats which lets us understand the io in the block layer. We have blktrace for more in depth understanding. We have e2fsprogs and debugsfs to give insight into the file systems behaviour, but we don't offer our users the ability understand what writeback is doing. There is no way to know how active it is over the whole system, if it's falling behind or to quantify it's efforts. With these values exported users can easily see how much data applications are sending through writeback and also at what rates writeback is processing this data. Comparing the rates of change between the two allow developers to see when writeback is not able to keep up with incoming traffic and the rate of dirty memory being sent to the IO back end. This allows folks to understand their io workloads and track kernel issues. Non kernel engineers at Google often use these counters to solve puzzling performance problems. Patch #4 adds a pernode vmstat file with nr_dirtied and nr_written Patch #5 add writeback thresholds to /proc/vmstat Currently these values are in debugfs. But they should be promoted to /proc since they are useful for developers who are writing databases and file servers and are not debugging the kernel. The output is as below: # grep threshold /proc/vmstat nr_pages_dirty_threshold 409111 nr_pages_dirty_background_threshold 818223 This patch: This allows code outside of the mm core to safely manipulate page writeback state and not worry about the other accounting. Not using these routines means that some code will lose track of the accounting and we get bugs. Modify nilfs2 to use interface.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Nilfs hasn't supported the freeze/thaw feature because it didn't work due to the peculiar design that multiple super block instances could be allocated for a device. This limitation was removed by the patch "nilfs2: do not allocate multiple super block instances for a device". So now this adds the freeze/thaw support to nilfs.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Nilfs object holds a back pointer to a writable super block instance in nilfs->ns_writer, and this became eliminable since sb is now made per device and all inodes have a valid pointer to it.

| * nilfs2: see state of root dentry for mount check of snapshotsRyusuke Konishi2010-10-236-37/+53
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | After applied the patch that unified sb instances, root dentry of snapshots can be left in dcache even after their trees are unmounted. The orphan root dentry/inode keeps a root object, and this causes false positive of nilfs_checkpoint_is_mounted function. This resolves the issue by having nilfs_checkpoint_is_mounted test whether the root dentry is busy or not. Signed-off-by: Ryusuke Konishi <konishi.ryusuke@lab.ntt.co.jp>

| * nilfs2: add routines to redirect access to buffers of DAT fileRyusuke Konishi2010-10-235-0/+75
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | During garbage collection (GC), DAT file, which converts virtual block number to real block number, may return disk block number that is not yet written to the device. To avoid access to unwritten blocks, the current implementation stores changes to the caches of GCDAT during GC and atomically commit the changes into the DAT file after they are written to the device. This patch, instead, adds a function that makes a copy of specified buffer and stores it in nilfs_shadow_map, and a function to get the backup copy as needed (nilfs_mdt_freeze_buffer and nilfs_mdt_get_frozen_buffer respectively). Before DAT changes block number in an entry block, it makes a copy and redirect access to the buffer so that address conversion function (i.e. nilfs_dat_translate) refers to the old address saved in the copy. This patch gives requisites for such redirection. Signed-off-by: Ryusuke Konishi <konishi.ryusuke@lab.ntt.co.jp>
| * nilfs2: add routines to roll back state of DAT fileRyusuke Konishi2010-10-235-19/+145
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This adds optional function to metadata files which makes a copy of bmap, page caches, and b-tree node cache, and rolls back to the copy as needed. This enhancement is intended to displace gcdat inode that provides a similar function in a different way. In this patch, nilfs_shadow_map structure is added to store a copy of the foregoing states. nilfs_mdt_setup_shadow_map relates this structure to a metadata file. And, nilfs_mdt_save_to_shadow_map() and nilfs_mdt_restore_from_shadow_map() provides save and restore functions respectively. Finally, nilfs_mdt_clear_shadow_map() clears states of nilfs_shadow_map. The copy of b-tree node cache and page cache is made by duplicating only dirty pages into corresponding caches in nilfs_shadow_map. Their restoration is done by clearing dirty pages from original caches and by copying dirty pages back from nilfs_shadow_map. Signed-off-by: Ryusuke Konishi <konishi.ryusuke@lab.ntt.co.jp>
| * nilfs2: add routines to save and restore bmap stateRyusuke Konishi2010-10-232-0/+26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This adds routines to save and restore the state of bmap structure. The bmap state is stored in a given nilfs_bmap_store object. These routines will be used to roll back the state of dat inode without using gcdat inode. Signed-off-by: Ryusuke Konishi <konishi.ryusuke@lab.ntt.co.jp>
| * nilfs2: do not allocate nilfs_mdt_info structure to gc-inodesRyusuke Konishi2010-10-231-16/+16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | GC-inode now doesn't need the nilfs_mdt_info structure and there is no reason that it is a sort of metadata files. This stops the allocation and makes them not dependent on metadata file routines. Signed-off-by: Ryusuke Konishi <konishi.ryusuke@lab.ntt.co.jp>

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This stops pre-allocating nilfs object in nilfs_get_sb routine, and stops managing its life cycle by reference counting. nilfs_find_or_create_nilfs() function, nilfs->ns_mount_mutex, nilfs_objects list, and the reference counter will be removed through the simplification.

| * nilfs2: do not allocate multiple super block instances for a deviceRyusuke Konishi2010-10-234-225/+101
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This stops allocating multiple super block instances for a device. All snapshots and a current mode mount (i.e. latest tree) will be controlled with nilfs_root objects that are kept within an sb instance. nilfs_get_sb() is rewritten so that it always has a root object for the latest tree and snapshots make additional root objects. The root dentry of the latest tree is binded to sb->s_root even if it isn't attached on a directory. Root dentries of snapshots or the latest tree are binded to mnt->mnt_root on which they are mounted. With this patch, nilfs_find_sbinfo() function, nilfs->ns_supers list, and nilfs->ns_current back pointer, are deleted. In addition, init_nilfs() and load_nilfs() are simplified since they will be called once for a device, not repeatedly called for mount points.

| * nilfs2: deny write access to inodes in snapshotsRyusuke Konishi2010-10-233-3/+13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Snapshots of nilfs are read-only. After super block instances (sb) will be unified, nilfs will need to check write access by a way other than implicit test with IS_RDONLY(inode). This is because IS_RDONLY() refers to MS_RDONLY bit of inode->i_sb->s_flags and it will become inaccurate after the unification of sb. To prepare for the issue, this uses i_op->permission to deny write access to inodes in snapshots. Signed-off-by: Ryusuke Konishi <konishi.ryusuke@lab.ntt.co.jp>
| * nilfs2: use checkpoint tree for mount check of snapshotsRyusuke Konishi2010-10-231-17/+11

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The previous export operations cannot handle multiple versions of a filesystem if they belong to the same sb instance.

| * nilfs2: set pointer to root object in inodesRyusuke Konishi2010-10-235-20/+68
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This puts a pointer to nilfs_root object in the private part of on-memory inode, and makes nilfs_iget function pick up the inode with the same root object. Non-root inodes inherit its nilfs_root object from parent inode. That of the root inode is allocated through nilfs_attach_checkpoint() function.

| * nilfs2: add checkpoint tree to nilfs objectRyusuke Konishi2010-10-232-0/+134
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | To hold multiple versions of a filesystem in one sb instance, a new on-memory structure is necessary to handle one or more checkpoints. This adds a red-black tree of checkpoints to nilfs object, and adds lookup and create functions for them. Each checkpoint is represented by "nilfs_root" structure, and this structure has rb_node to configure the rb-tree. The nilfs_root object is identified with a checkpoint number. For each snapshot, a nilfs_root object is allocated and the checkpoint number of snapshot is assigned to it. For a regular mount (i.e. current mode mount), NILFS_CPTREE_CURRENT_CNO constant is assigned to the corresponding nilfs_root object. Each nilfs_root object has an ifile inode and some counters. These items will displace those of nilfs_sb_info structure in successive patches. Signed-off-by: Ryusuke Konishi <konishi.ryusuke@lab.ntt.co.jp>

| * nilfs2: keep zero value in i_cno except for gc-inodesRyusuke Konishi2010-10-232-16/+16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | On-memory inode structures of nilfs have a member "i_cno" which stores a checkpoint number related to the inode. For gc-inodes, this field indicates version of data each gc-inode caches for GC. Log writer temporarily uses "i_cno" to transfer the latest checkpoint number. This stops the latter use and lets only gc-inodes use it. The purpose of this patch is to allow the successive change use "i_cno" for inode lookup.

So drop the BLKDEV_IFL_WAIT flag that is always specified when calling blkdev_issue_* and also remove the now unused flags argument to blkdev_issue_flush and blkdev_issue_zeroout.

I've read through all the code formerly covered by the BKL inside do_kern_mount() and have satisfied myself that it doesn't need the BKL any more. do_kern_mount() is already called without the BKL when mounting the rootfs and in nfsctl. do_kern_mount() calls vfs_kern_mount(), which is called from various places without BKL: simple_pin_fs(), nfs_do_clone_mount() through nfs_follow_mountpoint(), afs_mntpt_do_automount() through afs_mntpt_follow_link(). Both later functions are actually the filesystems follow_link inode operation. vfs_kern_mount() is calling the specified get_sb function and lets the filesystem do its job by calling the given fill_super function. Therefore I think it is safe to push down the BKL from the VFS to the low-level filesystems get_sb/fill_super operation. [arnd: do not add the BKL to those file systems that already don't use it elsewhere] Signed-off-by: Jan Blunck <jblunck@infradead.org> Signed-off-by: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de> Cc: Matthew Wilcox <matthew@wil.cx> Cc: Christoph Hellwig <hch@infradead.org>

* | nilfs2: fix false warning saying one of two super blocks is brokenRyusuke Konishi2010-08-161-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | After applying commit b2ac86e1, the following message got appeared after unclean shutdown: > NILFS warning: broken superblock. using spare superblock. This turns out to be a false message due to the change which updates two super blocks alternately. The secondary super block now can be selected if it's newer than the primary one. This kills the false warning by suppressing it if another super block is not actually broken. Signed-off-by: Ryusuke Konishi <konishi.ryusuke@lab.ntt.co.jp>
* | nilfs2: fix list corruption after ifile creation failureRyusuke Konishi2010-08-161-1/+3
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If nilfs_attach_checkpoint() gets a memory allocation failure during creation of ifile, it will return without removing nilfs_sb_info struct from ns_supers list. When a concurrently mounted snapshot is unmounted or another new snapshot is mounted after that, this causes kernel oops as below: > BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at (null) > IP: [<f83662ff>] nilfs_find_sbinfo+0x74/0xa4 [nilfs2] > *pde = 00000000 > Oops: 0000 [#1] SMP <snip> > Call Trace: > [<f835dc29>] ? nilfs_get_sb+0x165/0x532 [nilfs2] > [<c1173c87>] ? ida_get_new_above+0x16d/0x187 > [<c109a7f8>] ? alloc_vfsmnt+0x7e/0x10a > [<c1070790>] ? kstrdup+0x2c/0x40 > [<c1089041>] ? vfs_kern_mount+0x96/0x14e > [<c108913d>] ? do_kern_mount+0x32/0xbd > [<c109b331>] ? do_mount+0x642/0x6a1 > [<c101a415>] ? do_page_fault+0x0/0x2d1 > [<c1099c00>] ? copy_mount_options+0x80/0xe2 > [<c10705d8>] ? strndup_user+0x48/0x67 > [<c109b3f1>] ? sys_mount+0x61/0x90 > [<c10027cc>] ? sysenter_do_call+0x12/0x22 This fixes the problem.
