* xfs: fix race condition in AIL push triggerDave Chinner2011-05-091-6/+10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The recent conversion of the xfsaild functionality to a work queue introduced a hard-to-hit log space grant hang. One is caused by a race condition in determining whether there is a psh in progress or not. The XFS_AIL_PUSHING_BIT is used to determine whether a push is currently in progress. When the AIL push work completes, it checked whether the target changed and cleared the PUSHING bit to allow a new push to be requeued. The race condition is as follows: Thread 1 push work smp_wmb() smp_rmb() check ailp->xa_target unchanged update ailp->xa_target test/set PUSHING bit does not queue clear PUSHING bit does not requeue Now that the push target is updated, new attempts to push the AIL will not trigger as the push target will be the same, and hence despite trying to push the AIL we won't ever wake it again. The fix is to ensure that the AIL push work clears the PUSHING bit before it checks if the target is unchanged. As a result, both push triggers operate on the same test/set bit criteria, so even if we race in the push work and miss the target update, the thread requesting the push will still set the PUSHING bit and queue the push work to occur. For safety sake, the same queue check is done if the push work detects the target change, though only one of the two will will queue new work due to the use of test_and_set_bit() checks.

* xfs: make AIL target updates and compares 32bit safe.Dave Chinner2011-05-091-3/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The recent conversion of the xfsaild functionality to a work queue introduced a hard-to-hit log space grant hang. One of the problems noticed was that updates of the push target are not 32 bit safe as the target is a 64 bit value. We cannot copy a 64 bit LSN without the possibility of corrupting the result when racing with another updating thread. We have function to do this update safely without needing to care about 32/64 bit issues - xfs_trans_ail_copy_lsn() - so use that when updating the AIL push target. Also move the reading of the target in the push work inside the AIL lock, and use XFS_LSN_CMP() for the unlocked comparison during work termination to close read holes as well.

* xfs: always push the AIL to the targetDave Chinner2011-05-091-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The recent conversion of the xfsaild functionality to a work queue introduced a hard-to-hit log space grant hang. One of the problems discovered is a target mismatch between the item pushing loop and the target itself. The push trigger checks for the target increasing (i.e. new target > current) while the push loop only pushes items that have a LSN < current. As a result, we can get the situation where the push target is X, the items at the tail of the AIL have LSN X and they don't get pushed. The push work then completes thinking it is done, and cannot be restarted until the push target increases to >= X + 1. If the push target then never increases (because the tail is not moving), then we never run the push work again and we stall. Fix it by making sure log items with a LSN that matches the target exactly are pushed during the loop.

* xfs: ensure reclaim cursor is reset correctly at end of AGDave Chinner2011-05-091-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | On a 32 bit highmem PowerPC machine, the XFS inode cache was growing without bound and exhausting low memory causing the OOM killer to be triggered. After some effort, the problem was reproduced on a 32 bit x86 highmem machine. The problem is that the per-ag inode reclaim index cursor was not getting reset to the start of the AG if the radix tree tag lookup found no more reclaimable inodes. Hence every further reclaim attempt started at the same index beyond where any reclaimable inodes lay, and no further background reclaim ever occurred from the AG. Without background inode reclaim the VM driven cache shrinker simply cannot keep up with cache growth, and OOM is the result. While the change that exposed the problem was the conversion of the inode reclaim to use work queues for background reclaim, it was not the cause of the bug. The bug was introduced when the cursor code was added, just waiting for some weird configuration to strike....

As a result, convert the ASSERT conditions to warnings, and allow them to fire only once per filesystem mount.

| * xfs: push the AIL from memory reclaim and periodic syncDave Chinner2011-04-084-9/+61
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When we are short on memory, we want to expedite the cleaning of dirty objects. Hence when we run short on memory, we need to kick the AIL flushing into action to clean as many dirty objects as quickly as possible. To implement this, sample the lsn of the log item at the head of the AIL and use that as the push target for the AIL flush. Further, we keep items in the AIL that are dirty that are not tracked any other way, so we can get objects sitting in the AIL that don't get written back until the AIL is pushed. Hence to get the filesystem to the idle state, we might need to push the AIL to flush out any remaining dirty objects sitting in the AIL. This requires the same push mechanism as the reclaim push. This patch also renames xfs_trans_ail_tail() to xfs_ail_min_lsn() to match the new xfs_ail_max_lsn() function introduced in this patch. Similarly for xfs_trans_ail_push -> xfs_ail_push.

Add a new periodic work item to the xfs syncd workqueue to run a fast, non-blocking inode reclaim scan. Background inode reclaim is kicked by the act of marking inodes for reclaim. When an AG is first marked as having reclaimable inodes, the background reclaim work is kicked. It will continue to run periodically untill it detects that there are no more reclaimable inodes. It will be kicked again when the first inode is queued for reclaim. To ensure shrinker based inode reclaim throttles to the inode cleaning and reclaim rate but still reclaim inodes efficiently, make it kick the background inode reclaim so that when we are low on memory we are trying to reclaim inodes as efficiently as possible. This kick shoul d not be necessary, but it will protect against failures to kick the background reclaim when inodes are first dirtied. To provide the rate throttling, make the shrinker pass do synchronous inode reclaim so that it blocks on inodes under IO. This means that the shrinker will reclaim inodes rather than just skipping over them, but it does not adversely affect the rate of reclaim because most dirty inodes are already under IO due to the background reclaim work the shrinker kicked. These two modifications solve one of the two OOM killer invocations Chris Mason reported recently when running a stress testing script. The particular workload trigger for the OOM killer invocation is where there are more threads than CPUs all unlinking files in an extremely memory constrained environment. Unlike other solutions, this one does not have a performance impact on performance when memory is not constrained or the number of concurrent threads operating is <= to the number of CPUs.

| * xfs: convert ENOSPC inode flushing to use new syncd workqueueDave Chinner2011-04-083-102/+36
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | On of the problems with the current inode flush at ENOSPC is that we queue a flush per ENOSPC event, regardless of how many are already queued. Thi can result in hundreds of queued flushes, most of which simply burn CPU scanned and do no real work. This simply slows down allocation at ENOSPC. We really only need one active flush at a time, and we can easily implement that via the new xfs_syncd_wq. All we need to do is queue a flush if one is not already active, then block waiting for the currently active flush to complete. The result is that we only ever have a single ENOSPC inode flush active at a time and this greatly reduces the overhead of ENOSPC processing. On my 2p test machine, this results in tests exercising ENOSPC conditions running significantly faster - 042 halves execution time, 083 drops from 60s to 5s, etc - while not introducing test regressions. This allows us to remove the old xfssyncd threads and infrastructure as they are no longer used.

There is no need for a thread per filesystem to do this work - it can al be managed by a global workqueue now they manage concurrency effectively. Introduce a new gglobal xfssyncd workqueue, and convert the periodic work to use this new functionality. To do this, use a delayed work construct to schedule the next running of the periodic sync work for the filesystem. When the sync work is complete, queue a new delayed work for the next running of the sync work. For laptop mode, we wait on completion for the sync works, so ensure that the sync work queuing interface can flush and wait for work to complete to enable the work queue infrastructure to replace the current sequence number and wakeup that is used. Because the sync work does non-trivial amounts of work, mark the new work queue as CPU intensive.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When formatting an inode item, we have to allocate a separate buffer to hold extents when there are delayed allocation extents on the inode and it is in extent format. The allocation size is derived from the in-core data fork representation, which accounts for delayed allocation extents, while the on-disk representation does not contain any delalloc extents. As a result of this mismatch, the allocated buffer can be far larger than needed to hold the real extent list which, due to the fact the inode is in extent format, is limited to the size of the literal area of the inode. However, we can have thousands of delalloc extents, resulting in an allocation size orders of magnitude larger than is needed to hold all the real extents. Fix this by limiting the size of the buffer being allocated to the size of the literal area of the inodes in the filesystem (i.e. the maximum size an inode fork can grow to).

Convert the buffer cache to use alloc_pages() instead of the page cache. This will remove all the overhead of page cache management from setup and teardown of the buffers, as well as needing to mark pages accessed as we find buffers in the buffer cache. By avoiding the page cache, we also remove the need to keep state in the page_private(page) field for persistant storage across buffer free/buffer rebuild and so all that code can be removed. This also fixes the long-standing problem of not having enough bits in the page_private field to track all the state needed for a 512 sector/64k page setup. It also removes the need for page locking during reads as the pages are unique to the buffer and nobody else will be attempting to access them. Finally, it removes the buftarg address space lock as a point of global contention on workloads that allocate and free buffers quickly such as when creating or removing large numbers of inodes in parallel. This remove the 16TB limit on filesystem size on 32 bit machines as the page index (32 bit) is no longer used for lookups of metadata buffers - the buffer cache is now solely indexed by disk address which is stored in a 64 bit field in the buffer.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | There is an ABBA deadlock between synchronous inode flushing in xfs_reclaim_inode and xfs_icluster_free. xfs_icluster_free locks the buffer, then takes inode ilocks, whilst synchronous reclaim takes the ilock followed by the buffer lock in xfs_iflush(). To avoid this deadlock, separate the inode cluster buffer locking semantics from the synchronous inode flush semantics, allowing callers to attempt to lock the buffer but still issue synchronous IO if it can get the buffer. This requires xfs_iflush() calls that currently use non-blocking semantics to pass SYNC_TRYLOCK rather than 0 as the flags parameter. This allows xfs_reclaim_inode to avoid the deadlock on the buffer lock and detect the failure so that it can drop the inode ilock and restart the reclaim attempt on the inode. This allows xfs_ifree_cluster to obtain the inode lock, mark the inode stale and release it and hence defuse the deadlock situation. It also has the pleasant side effect of avoiding IO in xfs_reclaim_inode when it tries to next reclaim the inode as it is now marked stale.

That extra message is "unmount and run xfs_repair", which really applies to any corruption report. Each case that this macro is called (except one) a following call to xfs_corruption_error() is made to optionally dump more information about the error. Hence, move the output of "run xfs_repair" to xfs_corruption_error() so that it is output on all corruption reports. Also, convert the callers of the repair macro that don't call xfs_corruption_error() to call it, hence provide consiѕtent error reporting for all cases where xfs_fs_repair_cmn_err() used to be called.
