2009-04-06xfs: prevent unwritten extent conversion from blocking I/O completionDave Chinner
Unwritten extent conversion can recurse back into the filesystem due to memory allocation. Memory reclaim requires I/O completions to be processed to allow the callers to make progress. If the I/O completion workqueue thread is doing the recursion, then we have a deadlock situation. Move unwritten extent completion into it's own workqueue so it doesn't block I/O completions for normal delayed allocation or overwrite data.

2009-03-29xfs: pagecache usage optimizationHisashi Hifumi
Hi. I introduced "is_partially_uptodate" aops for XFS. A page can have multiple buffers and even if a page is not uptodate, some buffers can be uptodate on pagesize != blocksize environment. This aops checks that all buffers which correspond to a part of a file that we want to read are uptodate. If so, we do not have to issue actual read IO to HDD even if a page is not uptodate because the portion we want to read are uptodate. "block_is_partially_uptodate" function is already used by ext2/3/4. With the following patch random read/write mixed workloads or random read after random write workloads can be optimized and we can get performance improvement. I did a performance test using the sysbench. #sysbench --num-threads=4 --max-requests=100000 --test=fileio --file-num=1 \ --file-block-size=8K --file-total-size=1G --file-test-mode=rndrw \ --file-fsync-freq=0 --file-rw-ratio=0.5 run -2.6.29-rc6 Test execution summary: total time: 123.8645s total number of events: 100000 total time taken by event execution: 442.4994 per-request statistics: min: 0.0000s avg: 0.0044s max: 0.3387s approx. 95 percentile: 0.0118s -2.6.29-rc6-patched Test execution summary: total time: 108.0757s total number of events: 100000 total time taken by event execution: 417.7505 per-request statistics: min: 0.0000s avg: 0.0042s max: 0.3217s approx. 95 percentile: 0.0118s arch: ia64 pagesize: 16k blocksize: 4k Signed-off-by: Hisashi Hifumi <hifumi.hisashi@oss.ntt.co.jp> Reviewed-by: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de> Reviewed-by: Felix Blyakher <felixb@sgi.com>

2008-10-30[XFS] Never call mark_inode_dirty_sync() directlyDavid Chinner
Once the Linux inode and the XFS inode are combined, we cannot rely on just check if the linux inode exists as a method of determining if it is valid or not. Hence we should always call xfs_mark_inode_dirty_sync() instead as it does the correct checks to determine if the liinux inode is in a valid state or not.

2008-09-17[XFS] Prevent direct I/O from mapping extents beyond eofLachlan McIlroy
With the help from some tracing I found that we try to map extents beyond eof when doing a direct I/O read. It appears that the way to inform the generic direct I/O path (ie do_direct_IO()) that we have breached eof is to return an unmapped buffer from xfs_get_blocks_direct(). This will cause do_direct_IO() to jump to the hole handling code where is will check for eof and then abort. This problem was found because a direct I/O read was trying to map beyond eof and was encountering delayed allocations. The delayed allocations beyond eof are speculative allocations and they didn't get converted when the direct I/O flushed the file because there was only enough space in the current AG to convert and write out the dirty pages within eof. Note that xfs_iomap_write_allocate() wont necessarily convert all the delayed allocation passed to it - it will return after allocating the first extent - so if the delayed allocation extends beyond eof then it will stay that way.

Use XFS_IS_REALTIME_INODE in more places, and #define it to 0 if CONFIG_XFS_RT is off.

So basicly no page io is issued by __block_write_full_page(), hence pages_skipped goes up. Also the comment in generic_sync_sb_inodes(): 544 /* 545 * writeback is not making progress due to locked 546 * buffers. Skip this inode for now. 547 */ and the comment in __block_write_full_page(): 1713 /* 1714 * The page was marked dirty, but the buffers were 1715 * clean. Someone wrote them back by hand with 1716 * ll_rw_block/submit_bh. A rare case. 1717 */ do not quite agree with each other. The page writeback should be skipped for 'locked buffer', but here it is 'clean buffer'! This patch fixes this bug. Though I'm not sure why __block_write_full_page() is called only to do nothing and who actually issued the writeback for us. This is the two possible new behaviors after the patch: 1) pretty nice: wait 30s and write ALL:) 2) not so good: - during the dd: ~16M - after 30s: ~4M - after 5s: ~4M - after 5s: ~176M The next patch will fix case (2).

The missing case is a write extending the file that does not need to allocate a block.

2007-05-08[XFS] Fix to prevent the notorious 'NULL files' problem after a crash.Lachlan McIlroy
The problem that has been addressed is that of synchronising updates of the file size with writes that extend a file. Without the fix the update of a file's size, as a result of a write beyond eof, is independent of when the cached data is flushed to disk. Often the file size update would be written to the filesystem log before the data is flushed to disk. When a system crashes between these two events and the filesystem log is replayed on mount the file's size will be set but since the contents never made it to disk the file is full of holes. If some of the cached data was flushed to disk then it may just be a section of the file at the end that has holes. There are existing fixes to help alleviate this problem, particularly in the case where a file has been truncated, that force cached data to be flushed to disk when the file is closed. If the system crashes while the file(s) are still open then this flushing will never occur. The fix that we have implemented is to introduce a second file size, called the in-memory file size, that represents the current file size as viewed by the user. The existing file size, called the on-disk file size, is the one that get's written to the filesystem log and we only update it when it is safe to do so. When we write to a file beyond eof we only update the in- memory file size in the write operation. Later when the I/O operation, that flushes the cached data to disk completes, an I/O completion routine will update the on-disk file size. The on-disk file size will be updated to the maximum offset of the I/O or to the value of the in-memory file size if the I/O includes eof.

2007-02-10[XFS] Fix sub-block zeroing for buffered writes into unwritten extents.David Chinner
When writing less than a filesystem block of data into an unwritten extent via buffered I/O, __xfs_get_blocks fails to set the buffer new flag. As a result, the generic code will not zero either edge of the block resulting in garbage being written to disk either side of the real data. Set the buffer new state on bufferd writes to unwritten extents to ensure that zeroing occurs.

2007-02-10[XFS] Keep stack usage down for 4k stacks by using noinline.David Chinner
gcc-4.1 and more recent aggressively inline static functions which increases XFS stack usage by ~15% in critical paths. Prevent this from occurring by adding noinline to the STATIC definition. Also uninline some functions that are too large to be inlined and were causing problems with CONFIG_FORCED_INLINING=y. Finally, clean up all the different users of inline, __inline and __inline__ and put them under one STATIC_INLINE macro. For debug kernels the STATIC_INLINE macro uninlines those functions.

2006-12-21[PATCH] Fix XFS after clear_page_dirty() removalDavid Chinner
XFS appears to call clear_page_dirty to get the mapping tree dirty tag set correctly at the same time the page dirty flag is cleared. I note that this can be done by set_page_writeback() if we clear the dirty flag on the page first when we are writing back the entire page. Hence it seems to me that the XFS call to clear_page_dirty() could easily be substituted by clear_page_dirty_for_io() followed by a call to set_page_writeback() to get the mapping tree tags set correctly after the page has been marked clean.

2006-12-10[PATCH] dio: only call aio_complete() after returning -EIOCBQUEUEDZach Brown
The only time it is safe to call aio_complete() is when the ->ki_retry function returns -EIOCBQUEUED to the AIO core. direct_io_worker() has historically done this by relying on its caller to translate positive return codes into -EIOCBQUEUED for the aio case. It did this by trying to keep conditionals in sync. direct_io_worker() knew when finished_one_bio() was going to call aio_complete(). It would reverse the test and wait and free the dio in the cases it thought that finished_one_bio() wasn't going to. Not surprisingly, it ended up getting it wrong. 'ret' could be a negative errno from the submission path but it failed to communicate this to finished_one_bio(). direct_io_worker() would return < 0, it's callers wouldn't raise -EIOCBQUEUED, and aio_complete() would be called. In the future finished_one_bio()'s tests wouldn't reflect this and aio_complete() would be called for a second time which can manifest as an oops. The previous cleanups have whittled the sync and async completion paths down to the point where we can collapse them and clearly reassert the invariant that we must only call aio_complete() after returning -EIOCBQUEUED. direct_io_worker() will only return -EIOCBQUEUED when it is not the last to drop the dio refcount and the aio bio completion path will only call aio_complete() when it is the last to drop the dio refcount. direct_io_worker() can ensure that it is the last to drop the reference count by waiting for bios to drain. It does this for sync ops, of course, and for partial dio writes that must fall back to buffered and for aio ops that saw errors during submission. This means that operations that end up waiting, even if they were issued as aio ops, will not call aio_complete() from dio. Instead we return the return code of the operation and let the aio core call aio_complete(). This is purposely done to fix a bug where AIO DIO file extensions would call aio_complete() before their callers have a chance to update i_size. Now that direct_io_worker() is explicitly returning -EIOCBQUEUED its callers no longer have to translate for it. XFS needs to be careful not to free resources that will be used during AIO completion if -EIOCBQUEUED is returned. We maintain the previous behaviour of trying to write fs metadata for O_SYNC aio+dio writes.
