2008-10-28jbd2: Call the commit callback before the transaction could get droppedTheodore Ts'o
The transaction can potentially get dropped if there are no buffers that need to be written. Make sure we call the commit callback before potentially deciding to drop the transaction. Also avoid dereferencing the commit_transaction pointer in the marker for the same reason.

2008-10-16ext4: Replace hackish ext4_mb_poll_new_transaction with commit callbackTheodore Ts'o
The multiblock allocator needs to be able to release blocks (and issue a blkdev discard request) when the transaction which freed those blocks is committed. Previously this was done via a polling mechanism when blocks are allocated or freed. A much better way of doing things is to create a jbd2 callback function and attaching the list of blocks to be freed directly to the transaction structure.

2008-10-10ext4: add an option to control error handling on file dataHidehiro Kawai
If the journal doesn't abort when it gets an IO error in file data blocks, the file data corruption will spread silently. Because most of applications and commands do buffered writes without fsync(), they don't notice the IO error. It's scary for mission critical systems. On the other hand, if the journal aborts whenever it gets an IO error in file data blocks, the system will easily become inoperable. So this patch introduces a filesystem option to determine whether it aborts the journal or just call printk() when it gets an IO error in file data. If you mount an ext4 fs with data_err=abort option, it aborts on file data write error. If you mount it with data_err=ignore, it doesn't abort, just call printk(). data_err=ignore is the default. Here is the corresponding patch of the ext3 version: http://kerneltrap.org/mailarchive/linux-kernel/2008/9/9/3239374 Signed-off-by: Hidehiro Kawai <hidehiro.kawai.ez@hitachi.com> Signed-off-by: Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
2008-10-10jbd2: don't dirty original metadata buffer on abortHidehiro Kawai
Currently, original metadata buffers are dirtied when they are unfiled whether the journal has aborted or not. Eventually these buffers will be written-back to the filesystem by pdflush. This means some metadata buffers are written to the filesystem without journaling if the journal aborts. So if both journal abort and system crash happen at the same time, the filesystem would become inconsistent state. Additionally, replaying journaled metadata can overwrite the latest metadata on the filesystem partly. Because, if the journal gets aborted, journaled metadata are preserved and replayed during the next mount not to lose uncheckpointed metadata. This would also break the consistency of the filesystem. This patch prevents original metadata buffers from being dirtied on abort by clearing BH_JBDDirty flag from those buffers. Thus, no metadata buffers are written to the filesystem without journaling.

2008-10-10jbd2: fix error handling for checkpoint ioHidehiro Kawai
When a checkpointing IO fails, current JBD2 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 jbd2_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. jbd2_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 ext4 layer so that ext4 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 jbd2_cleanup_journal_tail() from being called between __jbd2_journal_drop_transaction() and jbd2_journal_abort() (a possible race issue between jbd2_log_do_checkpoint()s called by jbd2_journal_flush() and __jbd2_log_wait_for_space()) Signed-off-by: Hidehiro Kawai <hidehiro.kawai.ez@hitachi.com> Signed-off-by: Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
2008-10-12jbd2: abort when failed to log metadata buffersHidehiro Kawai
If we failed to write metadata buffers to the journal space and succeeded to write the commit record, stale data can be written back to the filesystem as metadata in the recovery phase. To avoid this, when we failed to write out metadata buffers, abort the journal before writing the commit record. We can also avoid this kind of corruption by using the journal checksum feature because it can detect invalid metadata blocks in the journal and avoid them from being replayed. So we don't need to care about asynchronous commit record writeout with a checksum. Signed-off-by: Hidehiro Kawai <hidehiro.kawai.ez@hitachi.com> Signed-off-by: Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>

2008-10-08jbd2: abort instead of waiting for nonexistent transactionDuane Griffin
The __jbd2_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.

In addition, we eliminate the '/' that can appear in device names (e.g. "cciss/c0d0p9" --- see kernel bugzilla #11321) that can cause problems when creating proc directory names, and include the inode number to support ocfs2 which creates multiple journals with different inode numbers.

In ordered mode, the current jbd2 aborts the journal if a file data buffer has an error. But this behavior is unintended, and we found that it has been adopted accidentally. This patch undoes it and just calls printk() instead of aborting the journal. Unlike a similar patch for ext3/jbd, file data buffers are written via generic_writepages().

This provides a new ordered mode implementation which gets rid of using buffer heads to enforce the ordering between metadata change with the related data chage. Instead, in the new ordering mode, it keeps track of all of the inodes touched by each transaction on a list, and when that transaction is committed, it flushes all of the dirty pages for those inodes.

2008-07-13jbd2: fix race between jbd2_journal_try_to_free_buffers() and jbd2 commit ↵Mingming Cao
transaction journal_try_to_free_buffers() could race with jbd commit transaction when the later is holding the buffer reference while waiting for the data buffer to flush to disk. If the caller of journal_try_to_free_buffers() request tries hard to release the buffers, it will treat the failure as error and return back to the caller. We have seen the directo IO failed due to this race. Some of the caller of releasepage() also expecting the buffer to be dropped when passed with GFP_KERNEL mask to the releasepage()->journal_try_to_free_buffers(). With this patch, if the caller is passing the GFP_KERNEL to indicating this call could wait, in case of try_to_free_buffers() failed, let's waiting for journal_commit_transaction() to finish commit the current committing transaction , then try to free those buffers again with journal locked.

2008-04-17jbd2: fix possible journal overflow issuesJosef Bacik
There are several cases where the running transaction can get buffers added to its BJ_Metadata list which it never dirtied, which makes its t_nr_buffers counter end up larger than its t_outstanding_credits counter. This will cause issues when starting new transactions as while we are logging buffers we decrement t_outstanding_buffers, so when t_outstanding_buffers goes negative, we will report that we need less space in the journal than we actually need, so transactions will be started even though there may not be enough room for them. In the worst case scenario (which admittedly is almost impossible to reproduce) this will result in the journal running out of space. The fix is to only refile buffers from the committing transaction to the running transactions BJ_Modified list when b_modified is set on that journal, which is the only way to be sure if the running transaction has modified that buffer. This patch also fixes an accounting error in journal_forget, it is possible that we can call journal_forget on a buffer without having modified it, only gotten write access to it, so instead of freeing a credit, we only do so if the buffer was modified. The assert will help catch if this problem occurs. Without these two patches I could hit this assert within minutes of running postmark, with them this issue no longer arises.

2008-04-17jbd2: fix the way the b_modified flag is clearedJosef Bacik
Currently at the start of a journal commit we loop through all of the buffers on the committing transaction and clear the b_modified flag (the flag that is set when a transaction modifies the buffer) under the j_list_lock. The problem is that everywhere else this flag is modified only under the jbd2 lock buffer flag, so it will race with a running transaction who could potentially set it, and have it unset by the committing transaction. This is also a big waste, you can have several thousands of buffers that you are clearing the modified flag on when you may not need to. This patch removes this code and instead clears the b_modified flag upon entering do_get_write_access/journal_get_create_access, so if that transaction does indeed use the buffer then it will be accounted for properly, and if it does not then we know we didn't use it. That will be important for the next patch in this series. Tested thoroughly by myself using postmark/iozone/bonnie++.

2008-02-10JBD2: Clear buffer_ordered flag for barried IO request on successDave Kleikamp
In JBD2 jbd2_journal_write_commit_record(), clear the buffer_ordered flag for the bh after barried IO has succeed. This prevents later, if the same buffer head were submitted to the underlying device, which has been reconfigured to not support barrier request, the JBD2 commit code could treat it as a normal IO (without barrier). This is a port from JBD/ext3 fix from Neil Brown. More details from Neil: Some devices - notably dm and md - can change their behaviour in response to BIO_RW_BARRIER requests. They might start out accepting such requests but on reconfiguration, they find out that they cannot any more. JBD2 deal with this by always testing if BIO_RW_BARRIER requests fail with EOPNOTSUPP, and retrying the write requests without the barrier (probably after waiting for any pending writes to complete). However there is a bug in the handling this in JBD2 for ext4 . When ext4/JBD2 to submit a BIO_RW_BARRIER request, it sets the buffer_ordered flag on the buffer head. If the request completes successfully, the flag STAYS SET. Other code might then write the same buffer_head after the device has been reconfigured to not accept barriers. This write will then fail, but the "other code" is not ready to handle EOPNOTSUPP errors and the error will be treated as fatal.

2008-01-28ext4: Add the journal checksum featureGirish Shilamkar
The journal checksum feature adds two new flags i.e JBD2_FEATURE_INCOMPAT_ASYNC_COMMIT and JBD2_FEATURE_COMPAT_CHECKSUM. JBD2_FEATURE_CHECKSUM flag indicates that the commit block contains the checksum for the blocks described by the descriptor blocks. Due to checksums, writing of the commit record no longer needs to be synchronous. Now commit record can be sent to disk without waiting for descriptor blocks to be written to disk. This behavior is controlled using JBD2_FEATURE_ASYNC_COMMIT flag. Older kernels/e2fsck should not be able to recover the journal with _ASYNC_COMMIT hence it is made incompat. The commit header has been extended to hold the checksum along with the type of the checksum. For recovery in pass scan checksums are verified to ensure the sanity and completeness(in case of _ASYNC_COMMIT) of every transaction.
