* fs: only send IPI to invalidate LRU BH when neededGilad Ben-Yossef2012-03-281-1/+14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In several code paths, such as when unmounting a file system (but not only) we send an IPI to ask each cpu to invalidate its local LRU BHs. For multi-cores systems that have many cpus that may not have any LRU BH because they are idle or because they have not performed any file system accesses since last invalidation (e.g. CPU crunching on high perfomance computing nodes that write results to shared memory or only using filesystems that do not use the bh layer.) This can lead to loss of performance each time someone switches the KVM (the virtual keyboard and screen type, not the hypervisor) if it has a USB storage stuck in. This patch attempts to only send an IPI to cpus that have LRU BH.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The overflow can happen when we are calling get_group_no_and_offset() which stores the group number in the ext4_grpblk_t type which is actually int. However when the blocknr is big enough the group number might be bigger than ext4_grpblk_t resulting in overflow. This will most likely happen with FITRIM default argument len = ULLONG_MAX. Fix this by using "end" variable instead of "start+len" as it is easier to get right and specifically check that the end is not beyond the end of the file system, so we are sure that the result of get_group_no_and_offset() will not overflow. Otherwise truncate it to the size of the file system. Signed-off-by: Lukas Czerner <lczerner@redhat.com> Reviewed-by: Jan Kara <jack@suse.cz> Signed-off-by: "Theodore Ts'o" <tytso@mit.edu>

There are several reasons for changing this. Firstly it is quite non obvious that punching hole needs to ext4_ext_map_blocks() to punch a hole, especially given that this function should map blocks, not unmap it. It also required a lot of new code in ext4_ext_map_blocks(). Secondly the design of it is not very effective. The reason is that we are trying to punch out blocks in ext4_ext_punch_hole() in opposite direction than in ext4_ext_rm_leaf() which causes the ext4_ext_rm_leaf() to iterate through the whole tree from the end to the start to find the requested extent for every extent we are going to punch out. And finally the current implementation does not use the existing code, but bring a lot of new code, which is IMO unnecessary since there already is some infrastructure we can use. Specifically ext4_ext_remove_space(). This commit changes ext4_ext_remove_space() to accept 'end' parameter so we can not only truncate to the end of file, but also remove the space in the middle of the file (punch a hole). Moreover, because the last block to punch out, might be in the middle of the extent, we have to split the extent at 'end + 1' so ext4_ext_rm_leaf() can easily either remove the whole fist part of split extent, or change its size. ext4_ext_remove_space() is then used to actually remove the space (extents) from within the hole, instead of ext4_ext_map_blocks(). Note that this also fix the issue with punch hole, where we would forget to remove empty index blocks from the extent tree, resulting in double free block error and file system corruption. This is simply because we now use different code path, where this problem does not exist. This has been tested with fsx running for several days and xfstests, plus xfstest #251 with '-o discard' run on the loop image (which converts discard requestes into punch hole to the backing file). All of it on 1K and 4K file system block size. Signed-off-by: Lukas Czerner <lczerner@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: "Theodore Ts'o" <tytso@mit.edu>

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Normally, we have to issue a cache flush before we can update journal tail in journal superblock, effectively wiping out old transactions from the journal. So use the fact that during transaction commit we issue cache flush anyway and opportunistically push journal tail as far as we can. Since update of journal superblock is still costly (we have to use WRITE_FUA), we update log tail only if we can free significant amount of space.

Thus __jbd2_journal_remove_checkpoint() doesn't really need bh_state lock.

Thus when we update journal superblock effectively removing old transaction from journal, this write of superblock can get to stable storage before those checkpointed buffers which can result in filesystem corruption after a crash. Thus we must unconditionally issue a cache flush before we update journal superblock in these cases. A similar problem can also occur if journal superblock is written only in disk's caches, other transaction starts reusing space of the transaction cleaned from the log and power failure happens. Subsequent journal replay would still try to replay the old transaction but some of it's blocks may be already overwritten by the new transaction. For this reason we must use WRITE_FUA when updating log tail and we must first write new log tail to disk and update in-memory information only after that.

I tested this with a (temporary) patch that adds a call to msleep(1000) at the start of ext4_end_io_work(), to delay processing of each DIO-unwritten work queue item. With this msleep(), a simple workload of fallocate write fadvise read will fail without this patch, succeeds with it.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The following command line will leave the aio-stress process unkillable on an ext4 file system (in my case, mounted on /mnt/test): aio-stress -t 20 -s 10 -O -S -o 2 -I 1000 /mnt/test/aiostress.3561.4 /mnt/test/aiostress.3561.4.20 /mnt/test/aiostress.3561.4.19 /mnt/test/aiostress.3561.4.18 /mnt/test/aiostress.3561.4.17 /mnt/test/aiostress.3561.4.16 /mnt/test/aiostress.3561.4.15 /mnt/test/aiostress.3561.4.14 /mnt/test/aiostress.3561.4.13 /mnt/test/aiostress.3561.4.12 /mnt/test/aiostress.3561.4.11 /mnt/test/aiostress.3561.4.10 /mnt/test/aiostress.3561.4.9 /mnt/test/aiostress.3561.4.8 /mnt/test/aiostress.3561.4.7 /mnt/test/aiostress.3561.4.6 /mnt/test/aiostress.3561.4.5 /mnt/test/aiostress.3561.4.4 /mnt/test/aiostress.3561.4.3 /mnt/test/aiostress.3561.4.2 This is using the aio-stress program from the xfstests test suite. That particular command line tells aio-stress to do random writes to 20 files from 20 threads (one thread per file). The files are NOT preallocated, so you will get writes to random offsets within the file, thus creating holes and extending i_size. It also opens the file with O_DIRECT and O_SYNC. On to the problem. When an I/O requires unwritten extent conversion, it is queued onto the completed_io_list for the ext4 inode. Two code paths will pull work items from this list. The first is the ext4_end_io_work routine, and the second is ext4_flush_completed_IO, which is called via the fsync path (and O_SYNC handling, as well). There are two issues I've found in these code paths. First, if the fsync path beats the work routine to a particular I/O, the work routine will free the io_end structure! It does not take into account the fact that the io_end may still be in use by the fsync path. I've fixed this issue by adding yet another IO_END flag, indicating that the io_end is being processed by the fsync path. The second problem is that the work routine will make an assignment to io->flag outside of the lock. I have witnessed this result in a hang at umount. Moving the flag setting inside the lock resolved that problem. The problem was introduced by commit b82e384c7b ("ext4: optimize locking for end_io extent conversion"), which first appeared in 3.2. As such, the fix should be backported to that release (probably along with the unwritten extent conversion race fix).

| * | ext4: clean up the flags passed to __blockdev_direct_IOJeff Moyer2012-03-051-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | For extent-based files, you can perform DIO to holes, as mentioned in the comments in ext4_ext_direct_IO. However, that function passes DIO_SKIP_HOLES to __blockdev_direct_IO, which is *really* confusing to the uninitiated reader. The key, here, is that the get_block function passed in, ext4_get_block_write, completely ignores the create flag that is passed to it (the create flag is passed in from the direct I/O code, which uses the DIO_SKIP_HOLES flag to determine whether or not it should be cleared). This is a long-winded way of saying that the DIO_SKIP_HOLES flag is ultimately ignored. So let's remove it.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Users who tried to use the ext4 file system driver is being used for the ext2 or ext3 file systems (via the CONFIG_EXT4_USE_FOR_EXT23 option) could have failed mounts if their /etc/fstab contains options recognized by ext2 or ext3 but which have since been removed in ext4. So teach ext4 to recognize them and give a warning that the mount option was removed.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Now that /proc/mounts is consistently showing only those mount options which need to be specified in /etc/fstab or on the mount command line, it is useful to have file which shows exactly which file system options are enabled.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | By using a table-drive approach, we shave about 100 lines of code from ext4, and make the code a bit more regular and factored out. This will also make it possible in a future patch to use this table for displaying the mount options that were specified in /proc/mounts. Signed-off-by: "Theodore Ts'o" <tytso@mit.edu>
