2007-07-14[XFS] Concurrent Multi-File Data StreamsDavid Chinner
In media spaces, video is often stored in a frame-per-file format. When dealing with uncompressed realtime HD video streams in this format, it is crucial that files do not get fragmented and that multiple files a placed contiguously on disk. When multiple streams are being ingested and played out at the same time, it is critical that the filesystem does not cross the streams and interleave them together as this creates seek and readahead cache miss latency and prevents both ingest and playout from meeting frame rate targets. This patch set creates a "stream of files" concept into the allocator to place all the data from a single stream contiguously on disk so that RAID array readahead can be used effectively. Each additional stream gets placed in different allocation groups within the filesystem, thereby ensuring that we don't cross any streams. When an AG fills up, we select a new AG for the stream that is not in use. The core of the functionality is the stream tracking - each inode that we create in a directory needs to be associated with the directories' stream. Hence every time we create a file, we look up the directories' stream object and associate the new file with that object. Once we have a stream object for a file, we use the AG that the stream object point to for allocations. If we can't allocate in that AG (e.g. it is full) we move the entire stream to another AG. Other inodes in the same stream are moved to the new AG on their next allocation (i.e. lazy update). Stream objects are kept in a cache and hold a reference on the inode. Hence the inode cannot be reclaimed while there is an outstanding stream reference. This means that on unlink we need to remove the stream association and we also need to flush all the associations on certain events that want to reclaim all unreferenced inodes (e.g. filesystem freeze).

2007-07-14[XFS] Fix remount,readonly path to flush everything correctly.David Chinner
The remount readonly path can fail to writeback properly because we still have active transactions after calling xfs_quiesce_fs(). Further investigation shows that this path is broken in the same ways that the xfs freeze path was broken so fix it the same way.

2007-07-14[XFS] Lazy Superblock CountersDavid Chinner
When we have a couple of hundred transactions on the fly at once, they all typically modify the on disk superblock in some way. create/unclink/mkdir/rmdir modify inode counts, allocation/freeing modify free block counts. When these counts are modified in a transaction, they must eventually lock the superblock buffer and apply the mods. The buffer then remains locked until the transaction is committed into the incore log buffer. The result of this is that with enough transactions on the fly the incore superblock buffer becomes a bottleneck. The result of contention on the incore superblock buffer is that transaction rates fall - the more pressure that is put on the superblock buffer, the slower things go. The key to removing the contention is to not require the superblock fields in question to be locked. We do that by not marking the superblock dirty in the transaction. IOWs, we modify the incore superblock but do not modify the cached superblock buffer. In short, we do not log superblock modifications to critical fields in the superblock on every transaction. In fact we only do it just before we write the superblock to disk every sync period or just before unmount. This creates an interesting problem - if we don't log or write out the fields in every transaction, then how do the values get recovered after a crash? the answer is simple - we keep enough duplicate, logged information in other structures that we can reconstruct the correct count after log recovery has been performed. It is the AGF and AGI structures that contain the duplicate information; after recovery, we walk every AGI and AGF and sum their individual counters to get the correct value, and we do a transaction into the log to correct them. An optimisation of this is that if we have a clean unmount record, we know the value in the superblock is correct, so we can avoid the summation walk under normal conditions and so mount/recovery times do not change under normal operation. One wrinkle that was discovered during development was that the blocks used in the freespace btrees are never accounted for in the AGF counters. This was once a valid optimisation to make; when the filesystem is full, the free space btrees are empty and consume no space. Hence when it matters, the "accounting" is correct. But that means the when we do the AGF summations, we would not have a correct count and xfs_check would complain. Hence a new counter was added to track the number of blocks used by the free space btrees. This is an *on-disk format change*. As a result of this, lazy superblock counters are a mkfs option and at the moment on linux there is no way to convert an old filesystem. This is possible - xfs_db can be used to twiddle the right bits and then xfs_repair will do the format conversion for you. Similarly, you can convert backwards as well. At some point we'll add functionality to xfs_admin to do the bit twiddling easily....

2007-07-14[XFS] Sleeping with the ilock waiting for I/O completion is Bad.David Chinner
Recent fixes to the filesystem freezing code introduced a vn_iowait call in the middle of the sync code. Unfortunately, at the point where this call was added we are holding the ilock. The ilock is needed by I/O completion for unwritten extent conversion and now updating the file size. Hence I/o cannot complete if we hold the ilock while waiting for I/O completion. Fix up the bug and clean the code up around it.

2007-02-10[XFS] Ensure a frozen filesystem has a clean log before writing the dummyDavid Chinner
record. The current Linux XFS freeze code is a mess. We flush the metadata buffers out while we are still allowing new transactions to start and then fail to flush the dirty buffers back out before writing the unmount and dummy records to the log. This leads to problems when the frozen filesystem is used for snapshots - we do log recovery on a readonly image and often it appears that the log image in the snapshot is not correct. Hence we end up with hangs, oops and mount failures when trying to mount a snapshot image that has been created when the filesystem has not been correctly frozen. To fix this, we need to move th metadata flush to after we wait for all current transactions to complete in teh second stage of the freeze. This means that when we write the final log records, the log should be clean and recovery should never occur on a snapshot image created from a frozen filesystem.

The block reservation mechanism has been broken since the per-cpu superblock counters were introduced. Make the block reservation code work with the per-cpu counters by syncing the counters, snapshotting the amount of available space and then doing a modifcation of the counter state according to the result.

2006-09-07[XFS] Prevent free space oversubscription and xfssyncd looping.David Chinner
The fix for recent ENOSPC deadlocks introduced certain limitations on allocations. The fix could cause xfssyncd to loop endlessly if we did not leave some space free for the allocator to work correctly. Basically, we needed to ensure that we had at least 4 blocks free for an AG free list and a block for the inode bmap btree at all times. However, this did not take into account the fact that each AG has a free list that needs 4 blocks. Hence any filesystem with more than one AG could cause oversubscription of free space and make xfssyncd spin forever trying to allocate space needed for AG freelists that was not available in the AG. The following patch reserves space for the free lists in all AGs plus the inode bmap btree which prevents oversubscription. It also prevents those blocks from being reported as free space (as they can never be used) and makes the SMP in-core superblock accounting code and the reserved block ioctl respect this requirement.
