2009-06-11Btrfs: check duplicate backrefs for both data and metadataYan Zheng
lookup_inline_extent_backref only checks for duplicate backref for data extents. It assumes backrefs for tree block never conflict. This patch makes lookup_inline_extent_backref check for duplicate backrefs for both data and tree block, so that we can detect potential bug earlier. This is a safety check, strictly speaking it is not required. Signed-off-by: Yan Zheng <zheng.yan@oracle.com> Signed-off-by: Chris Mason <chris.mason@oracle.com>
2009-06-10Btrfs: init worker struct fields before kthread-runShin Hong
This patch fixes a bug which may result race condition between btrfs_start_workers() and worker_loop(). btrfs_start_workers() executed in a parent thread writes on workers->worker and worker_loop() in a child thread reads workers->worker. However, there is no synchronization enforcing the order of two operations. This patch makes btrfs_start_workers() fill workers->worker before it starts a child thread with worker_loop() Signed-off-by: Chris Mason <chris.mason@oracle.com>
2009-06-10Btrfs: pin buffers during write_dev_supersHisashi Hifumi
write_dev_supers is called in sequence. First is it called with wait == 0, which starts IO on all of the super blocks for a given device. Then it is called with wait == 1 to make sure they all reach the disk. It doesn't currently pin the buffers between the two calls, and it also assumes the buffers won't go away between the two calls, leading to an oops if the VM manages to free the buffers in the middle of the sync. This fixes that assumption and updates the code to return an error if things are not up to date when the wait == 1 run is done.

2009-06-10Btrfs: avoid races between super writeout and device list updatesChris Mason
On multi-device filesystems, btrfs writes supers to all of the devices before considering a sync complete. There wasn't any additional locking between super writeout and the device list management code because device management was done inside a transaction and super writeout only happened with no transation writers running. With the btrfs fsync log and other async transaction updates, this has been racey for some time. This adds a mutex to protect the device list. The existing volume mutex could not be reused due to transaction lock ordering requirements. Signed-off-by: Chris Mason <chris.mason@oracle.com>

2009-06-10Btrfs: fdatasync should skip metadata writeoutHisashi Hifumi
In btrfs, fdatasync and fsync are identical, but fdatasync should skip committing transaction when inode->i_state is set just I_DIRTY_SYNC and this indicates only atime or/and mtime updates.

2009-06-10Btrfs: remove crc32c.h and use libcrc32c directly.David Woodhouse
There's no need to preserve this abstraction; it used to let us use hardware crc32c support directly, but libcrc32c is already doing that for us through the crypto API -- so we're already using the Intel crc32c acceleration where appropriate.

2009-06-10Btrfs: implement FS_IOC_GETFLAGS/SETFLAGS/GETVERSIONChristoph Hellwig
Add support for the standard attributes set via chattr and read via lsattr. Currently we store the attributes in the flags value in the btrfs inode, but I wonder whether we should split it into two so that we don't have to keep converting between the two formats. Remove the btrfs_clear_flag/btrfs_set_flag/btrfs_test_flag macros as they were confusing the existing code and got in the way of the new additions. Also add the FS_IOC_GETVERSION ioctl for getting i_generation as it's trivial. Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de> Signed-off-by: Chris Mason <chris.mason@oracle.com>
2009-06-10Btrfs: autodetect SSD devicesChris Mason
During mount, btrfs will check the queue nonrot flag for all the devices found in the FS. If they are all non-rotating, SSD mode is enabled by default. If the FS was mounted with -o nossd, the non-rotating flag is ignored. Signed-off-by: Chris Mason <chris.mason@oracle.com>
2009-06-10Btrfs: add mount -o ssd_spread to spread allocations outChris Mason
Some SSDs perform best when reusing block numbers often, while others perform much better when clustering strictly allocates big chunks of unused space. The default mount -o ssd will find rough groupings of blocks where there are a bunch of free blocks that might have some allocated blocks mixed in. mount -o ssd_spread will make sure there are no allocated blocks mixed in. It should perform better on lower end SSDs. Signed-off-by: Chris Mason <chris.mason@oracle.com>
2009-06-10Btrfs: avoid allocation clusters that are too spread outChris Mason
In SSD mode for data, and all the time for metadata the allocator will try to find a cluster of nearby blocks for allocations. This commit adds extra checks to make sure that each free block in the cluster is close to the last one. Signed-off-by: Chris Mason <chris.mason@oracle.com>

2009-06-10Btrfs: avoid IO stalls behind congested devices in a multi-device FSChris Mason
The btrfs IO submission threads try to service a bunch of devices with a small number of threads. They do a congestion check to try and avoid waiting on requests for a busy device. The checks make sure we've sent a few requests down to a given device just so that we aren't bouncing between busy devices without actually sending down any IO. The counter used to decide if we can switch to the next device is somewhat overloaded. It is also being used to decide if we've done a good batch of requests between the WRITE_SYNC or regular priority lists. It may get reset to zero often, leaving us hammering on a busy device instead of moving on to another disk. This commit adds a new counter for the number of bios sent while servicing a device. It doesn't get reset or fiddled with. On multi-device filesystems, this fixes IO stalls in streaming write workloads. Signed-off-by: Chris Mason <chris.mason@oracle.com>
2009-06-10Btrfs: don't allow WRITE_SYNC bios to starve out regular writesChris Mason
Btrfs uses dedicated threads to submit bios when checksumming is on, which allows us to make sure the threads dedicated to checksumming don't get stuck waiting for requests. For each btrfs device, there are two lists of bios. One list is for WRITE_SYNC bios and the other is for regular priority bios. The IO submission threads used to process all of the WRITE_SYNC bios first and then switch to the regular bios. This commit makes sure we don't completely starve the regular bios by rotating between the two lists. WRITE_SYNC bios are still favored 2:1 over the regular bios, and this tries to run in batches to avoid seeking. Benchmarking shows this eliminates stalls during streaming buffered writes on both multi-device and single device filesystems. If the regular bios starve, the system can end up with a large amount of ram pinned down in writeback pages. If we are a little more fair between the two classes, we're able to keep throughput up and make progress on the bulk of our dirty ram. Signed-off-by: Chris Mason <chris.mason@oracle.com>
2009-06-10Btrfs: fix metadata dirty throttling limitsChris Mason
Once a metadata block has been written, it must be recowed, so the btrfs dirty balancing call has a check to make sure a fair amount of metadata was actually dirty before it started writing it back to disk. A previous commit had changed the dirty tracking for metadata without updating the btrfs dirty balancing checks. This commit switches it to use the correct counter. Signed-off-by: Chris Mason <chris.mason@oracle.com>
2009-06-10Btrfs: reduce mount -o ssd CPU usageChris Mason
The block allocator in SSD mode will try to find groups of free blocks that are close together. This commit makes it loop less on a given group size before bumping it. The end result is that we are less likely to fill small holes in the available free space, but we don't waste as much CPU building the large cluster used by ssd mode.

2009-06-10Btrfs: balance btree more oftenChris Mason

2009-06-10Btrfs: stop avoiding balancing at the end of the transaction.Chris Mason
When the delayed reference code was added, some checks were added to avoid extra balancing while the delayed references were being flushed. This made for less efficient btrees, but it reduced the chances of loops where no forward progress was made because the balances made more delayed ref updates. With the new dead root removal code and the mixed back references, the extent allocation tree is no longer using precise back refs, and the delayed reference updates don't carry the risk of looping forever anymore. So, the balance avoidance is no longer required. Signed-off-by: Chris Mason <chris.mason@oracle.com>
2009-06-10Btrfs: Mixed back reference (FORWARD ROLLING FORMAT CHANGE)Yan Zheng
This commit introduces a new kind of back reference for btrfs metadata. Once a filesystem has been mounted with this commit, IT WILL NO LONGER BE MOUNTABLE BY OLDER KERNELS. When a tree block in subvolume tree is cow'd, the reference counts of all extents it points to are increased by one. At transaction commit time, the old root of the subvolume is recorded in a "dead root" data structure, and the btree it points to is later walked, dropping reference counts and freeing any blocks where the reference count goes to 0. The increments done during cow and decrements done after commit cancel out, and the walk is a very expensive way to go about freeing the blocks that are no longer referenced by the new btree root. This commit reduces the transaction overhead by avoiding the need for dead root records. When a non-shared tree block is cow'd, we free the old block at once, and the new block inherits old block's references. When a tree block with reference count > 1 is cow'd, we increase the reference counts of all extents the new block points to by one, and decrease the old block's reference count by one. This dead tree avoidance code removes the need to modify the reference counts of lower level extents when a non-shared tree block is cow'd. But we still need to update back ref for all pointers in the block. This is because the location of the block is recorded in the back ref item. We can solve this by introducing a new type of back ref. The new back ref provides information about pointer's key, level and in which tree the pointer lives. This information allow us to find the pointer by searching the tree. The shortcoming of the new back ref is that it only works for pointers in tree blocks referenced by their owner trees. This is mostly a problem for snapshots, where resolving one of these fuzzy back references would be O(number_of_snapshots) and quite slow. The solution used here is to use the fuzzy back references in the common case where a given tree block is only referenced by one root, and use the full back references when multiple roots have a reference on a given block. This commit adds per subvolume red-black tree to keep trace of cached inodes. The red-black tree helps the balancing code to find cached inodes whose inode numbers within a given range. This commit improves the balancing code by introducing several data structures to keep the state of balancing. The most important one is the back ref cache. It caches how the upper level tree blocks are referenced. This greatly reduce the overhead of checking back ref. The improved balancing code scales significantly better with a large number of snapshots. This is a very large commit and was written in a number of pieces. But, they depend heavily on the disk format change and were squashed together to make sure git bisect didn't end up in a bad state wrt space balancing or the format change.

2009-06-09char: mxser, fix ISA board lookupPeter Botha
There's a bug in the mxser kernel module that still appears in the 2.6.29.4 kernel. mxser_get_ISA_conf takes a ioaddress as its first argument, by passing the not of the ioaddr, you're effectively passing 0 which means it won't be able to talk to an ISA card.

2009-06-09jbd: fix race in buffer processing in commit codeJan Kara
In commit code, we scan buffers attached to a transaction. During this scan, we sometimes have to drop j_list_lock and then we recheck whether the journal buffer head didn't get freed by journal_try_to_free_buffers(). But checking for buffer_jbd(bh) isn't enough because a new journal head could get attached to our buffer head. So add a check whether the journal head remained the same and whether it's still at the same transaction and list. This is a nasty bug and can cause problems like memory corruption (use after free) or trigger various assertions in JBD code (observed).

2009-06-09autofs4: remove hashed check in validate_wait()Ian Kent
The recent ->lookup() deadlock correction required the directory inode mutex to be dropped while waiting for expire completion. We were concerned about side effects from this change and one has been identified. I saw several error messages. They cause autofs to become quite confused and don't really point to the actual problem. Things like: handle_packet_missing_direct:1376: can't find map entry for (43,1827932) which is usually totally fatal (although in this case it wouldn't be except that I treat is as such because it normally is). do_mount_direct: direct trigger not valid or already mounted /test/nested/g3c/s1/ss1 which is recoverable, however if this problem is at play it can cause autofs to become quite confused as to the dependencies in the mount tree because mount triggers end up mounted multiple times. It's hard to accurately check for this over mounting case and automount shouldn't need to if the kernel module is doing its job. There was one other message, similar in consequence of this last one but I can't locate a log example just now. When checking if a mount has already completed prior to adding a new mount request to the wait queue we check if the dentry is hashed and, if so, if it is a mount point. But, if a mount successfully completed while we slept on the wait queue mutex the dentry must exist for the mount to have completed so the test is not really needed. Mounts can also be done on top of a global root dentry, so for the above case, where a mount request completes and the wait queue entry has already been removed, the hashed test returning false can cause an incorrect callback to the daemon. Also, d_mountpoint() is not sufficient to check if a mount has completed for the multi-mount case when we don't have a real mount at the base of the tree.

2009-06-09cls_cgroup: Fix oops when user send improperly 'tc filter add' requestMinoru Usui
I found a bug in cls_cgroup_change() in cls_cgroup.c. cls_cgroup_change() expected tca[TCA_OPTIONS] was set from user space properly, but tc in iproute2-2.6.29-1 (which I used) didn't set it. In the current source code of tc in git, it set tca[TCA_OPTIONS]. git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/shemminger/iproute2.git If we always use a newest iproute2 in git when we use cls_cgroup, we don't face this oops probably. But I think, kernel shouldn't panic regardless of use program's behaviour. Signed-off-by: Minoru Usui <usui@mxm.nes.nec.co.jp> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2009-06-09r8169: fix crash when large packets are receivedEric Dumazet
Michael Tokarev reported receiving a large packet could crash a machine with RTL8169 NIC. ( original thread at http://lkml.org/lkml/2009/6/8/192 ) Problem is this driver tells that NIC frames up to 16383 bytes can be received but provides skb to rx ring allocated with smaller sizes (1536 bytes in case standard 1500 bytes MTU is used) When a frame larger than what was allocated by driver is received, dma transfert can occurs past the end of buffer and corrupt kernel memory. Fix is to tell to NIC what is the maximum size a frame can be. This bug is very old, (before git introduction, linux-2.6.10), and should be backported to stable versions.

2009-06-09md/raid5: fix bug in reshape code when chunk_size decreases.NeilBrown
Now that we support changing the chunksize, we calculate "reshape_sectors" to be the max of number of sectors in old and new chunk size. However there is one please where we still use 'chunksize' rather than 'reshape_sectors'. This causes a reshape that reduces the size of chunks to freeze. Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>
2009-06-09md/raid5 - avoid deadlocks in get_active_stripe during reshapeNeilBrown
md has functionality to 'quiesce' and array so that all pending IO completed and no new IO starts. This is used to achieve a stable state before making internal changes. Currently this quiescing applies equally to normal IO, resync IO, and reshape IO. However there is a problem with applying it to reshape IO. Reshape can have multiple 'stripe_heads' that must be active together. If the quiesce come between allocating the first and the last of such a collection, then we deadlock, as the last will not be allocated until the quiesce is lifted, the quiesce will not be lifted until the first (which has been allocated) gets used, and that first cannot be used until the last is allocated. It is not necessary to inhibit reshape IO when a quiesce is requested. Those places in the code that require a full quiesce will ensure the reshape thread is not running at all. So allow reshape requests to get access to new stripe_heads without being blocked by a 'quiesce'. This only affects in-place reshapes (i.e. where the array does not grow or shrink) and these are only newly supported. So this patch is not needed in earlier kernels.

2009-06-09md/raid5: use conf->raid_disks in preference to mddev->raid_diskNeilBrown
mddev->raid_disks can be changed and any time by a request from user-space. It is a suggestion as to what number of raid_disks is desired. conf->raid_disks can only be changed by the raid5 module with suitable locks in place. It is a statement as to the current number of raid_disks. There are two places where the latter should be used, but the former is used. This can lead to a crash when reshaping an array. This patch changes to mddev-> to conf-> Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>
2009-06-08async: Fix lack of boot-time console due to insufficient synchronizationLinus Torvalds
Our async work synchronization was broken by "async: make sure independent async domains can't accidentally entangle" (commit d5a877e8dd409d8c702986d06485c374b705d340), because it would report the wrong lowest active async ID when there was both running and pending async work. This caused things like no being able to read the root filesystem, resulting in missing console devices and inability to run 'init', causing a boot-time panic. This fixes it by properly returning the lowest pending async ID: if there is any running async work, that will have a lower ID than any pending work, and we should _not_ look at the pending work list. There were alternative patches from Jaswinder and James, but this one also cleans up the code by removing the pointless 'ret' variable and the unnecesary testing for an empty list around 'for_each_entry()' (if the list is empty, the for_each_entry() thing just won't execute).

2009-06-08MIPS: Outline udelay and fix a few issues.Ralf Baechle
Outlining fixes the issue were on certain CPUs such as the R10000 family the delay loop would need an extra cycle if it overlaps a cacheline boundary. The rewrite also fixes build errors with GCC 4.4 which was changed in way incompatible with the kernel's inline assembly. Relying on pure C for computation of the delay value removes the need for explicit. The price we pay is a slight slowdown of the computation - to be fixed on another day.
