2008-11-06jbd: don't give up looking for space so easily in __log_wait_for_spaceTheodore Ts'o
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.

2008-10-23jbd: abort instead of waiting for nonexistent transactionsDuane Griffin
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.

2008-10-23jbd: test BH_Write_EIO to detect errors on metadata buffersHidehiro Kawai
__try_to_free_cp_buf(), __process_buffer(), and __wait_cp_io() test BH_Uptodate flag to detect write I/O errors on metadata buffers. But by commit 95450f5a7e53d5752ce1a0d0b8282e10fe745ae0 "ext3: don't read inode block if the buffer has a write error"(*), BH_Uptodate flag can be set to inode buffers with BH_Write_EIO in order to avoid reading old inode data. So now, we have to test BH_Write_EIO flag of checkpointing inode buffers instead of BH_Uptodate. This patch does it.

2008-10-23jbd: fix error handling for checkpoint ioHidehiro Kawai
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>
2008-01-30spinlock: lockbreak cleanupNick Piggin
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?).

2007-12-05jbd: Fix assertion failure in fs/jbd/checkpoint.cJan Kara
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...

2006-06-23[PATCH] JBD: split checkpoint listsJan Kara
Split the checkpoint list of the transaction into two lists. In the first list we keep the buffers that need to be submitted for IO. In the second list are kept buffers that were already submitted and we just have to wait for the IO to complete. This should simplify a handling of checkpoint lists a bit and can eventually be also a performance gain.

2005-06-02[PATCH] ext3: fix list scanning in __cleanup_transactionJan Kara
Fix a bug in list scanning that can cause us to skip the last buffer on the checkpoint list (and hence fail to do any progress under some rather unfavorable conditions). The problem is we first do jh=next_jh and then test } while (jh!=last_jh); Hence we skip the last buffer on the list (if it was not the only buffer on the list). As we already do jh=next_jh; in the beginning of the loop we are safe to just remove the assignment in the end. It can happen that 'jh' will be freed at the point we test jh != last_jh but that does not matter as we never *dereference* the pointer.

2005-06-02[PATCH] ext3: fix log_do_checkpoint() assertion failureJan Kara
Fix possible false assertion failure in log_do_checkpoint(). We might fail to detect that we actually made a progress when cleaning up the checkpoint lists if we don't retry after writing something to disk. The patch was confirmed to fix observed assertion failures for several users. When we flushed some buffers we need to retry scanning the list. Otherwise we can fail to detect our progress.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!
