2010-02-04xfs: kill the unused XFS_QMOPT_* flush flags V2Dave Chinner
dquots are never flushed asynchronously. Remove the flag and the async write support from the flush function. Make the default flush a delwri flush to make the inode flush code, which leaves the XFS_QMOPT_SYNC the only flag remaining. Convert that to use SYNC_WAIT instead, just like the inode flush code. V2: - just pass flush flags straight through Signed-off-by: Dave Chinner <david@fromorbit.com> Reviewed-by: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de>
2010-01-26xfs: Use delay write promotion for dquot flushingDave Chinner
xfs_qm_dqflock_pushbuf_wait() does a very similar trick to item pushing used to do to flush out delayed write dquot buffers. Change it to use the new promotion method rather than an async flush. Also, xfs_qm_dqflock_pushbuf_wait() can return without the flush lock held, yet the callers make the assumption that after this call the flush lock is held. Always return with the flush lock held.

2010-01-26xfs: Sort delayed write buffers before dispatchDave Chinner
Currently when the xfsbufd writes delayed write buffers, it pushes them to disk in the order they come off the delayed write list. If there are lots of buffers ѕpread widely over the disk, this results in overwhelming the elevator sort queues in the block layer and we end up losing the posibility of merging adjacent buffers to minimise the number of IOs. Use the new generic list_sort function to sort the delwri dispatch queue before issue to ensure that the buffers are pushed in the most friendly order possible to the lower layers.

2010-02-02xfs: Don't issue buffer IO direct from AIL push V2Dave Chinner
All buffers logged into the AIL are marked as delayed write. When the AIL needs to push the buffer out, it issues an async write of the buffer. This means that IO patterns are dependent on the order of buffers in the AIL. Instead of flushing the buffer, promote the buffer in the delayed write list so that the next time the xfsbufd is run the buffer will be flushed by the xfsbufd. Return the state to the xfsaild that the buffer was promoted so that the xfsaild knows that it needs to cause the xfsbufd to run to flush the buffers that were promoted. Using the xfsbufd for issuing the IO allows us to dispatch all buffer IO from the one queue. This means that we can make much more enlightened decisions on what order to flush buffers to disk as we don't have multiple places issuing IO. Optimisations to xfsbufd will be in a future patch. Version 2 - kill XFS_ITEM_FLUSHING as it is now unused. Signed-off-by: Dave Chinner <david@fromorbit.com> Reviewed-by: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de>
2010-02-06xfs: Use delayed write for inodes rather than async V2Dave Chinner
We currently do background inode flush asynchronously, resulting in inodes being written in whatever order the background writeback issues them. Not only that, there are also blocking and non-blocking asynchronous inode flushes, depending on where the flush comes from. This patch completely removes asynchronous inode writeback. It removes all the strange writeback modes and replaces them with either a synchronous flush or a non-blocking delayed write flush. That is, inode flushes will only issue IO directly if they are synchronous, and background flushing may do nothing if the operation would block (e.g. on a pinned inode or buffer lock). Delayed write flushes will now result in the inode buffer sitting in the delwri queue of the buffer cache to be flushed by either an AIL push or by the xfsbufd timing out the buffer. This will allow accumulation of dirty inode buffers in memory and allow optimisation of inode cluster writeback at the xfsbufd level where we have much greater queue depths than the block layer elevators. We will also get adjacent inode cluster buffer IO merging for free when a later patch in the series allows sorting of the delayed write buffers before dispatch. This effectively means that any inode that is written back by background writeback will be seen as flush locked during AIL pushing, and will result in the buffers being pushed from there. This writeback path is currently non-optimal, but the next patch in the series will fix that problem. A side effect of this delayed write mechanism is that background inode reclaim will no longer directly flush inodes, nor can it wait on the flush lock. The result is that inode reclaim must leave the inode in the reclaimable state until it is clean. Hence attempts to reclaim a dirty inode in the background will simply skip the inode until it is clean and this allows other mechanisms (i.e. xfsbufd) to do more optimal writeback of the dirty buffers. As a result, the inode reclaim code has been rewritten so that it no longer relies on the ambiguous return values of xfs_iflush() to determine whether it is safe to reclaim an inode. Portions of this patch are derived from patches by Christoph Hellwig. Version 2: - cleanup reclaim code as suggested by Christoph - log background reclaim inode flush errors - just pass sync flags to xfs_iflush Signed-off-by: Dave Chinner <david@fromorbit.com> Reviewed-by: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de>
2010-02-06xfs: Make inode reclaim states explicitDave Chinner
A.K.A.: don't rely on xfs_iflush() return value in reclaim We have gradually been moving checks out of the reclaim code because they are duplicated in xfs_iflush(). We've had a history of problems in this area, and many of them stem from the overloading of the return values from xfs_iflush() and interaction with inode flush locking to determine if the inode is safe to reclaim. With the desire to move to delayed write flushing of inodes and non-blocking inode tree reclaim walks, the overloading of the return value of xfs_iflush makes it very difficult to determine the correct thing to do next. This patch explicitly re-adds the checks to the inode reclaim code, removing the reliance on the return value of xfs_iflush() to determine what to do next. It also means that we can clearly document all the inode states that reclaim must handle and hence we can easily see that we handled all the necessary cases. This also removes the need for the xfs_inode_clean() check in xfs_iflush() as all callers now check this first (safely).

2010-01-26xfs: don't hold onto reserved blocks on remount,roDave Chinner
If we hold onto reserved blocks when doing a remount,ro we end up writing the blocks used count to disk that includes the reserved blocks. Reserved blocks are not actually used, so this results in the values in the superblock being incorrect. Hence if we run xfs_check or xfs_repair -n while the filesystem is mounted remount,ro we end up with an inconsistent filesystem being reported. Also, running xfs_copy on the remount,ro filesystem will result in an inconsistent image being generated. To fix this, unreserve the blocks when doing the remount,ro, and reserved them again on remount,rw. This way a remount,ro filesystem will appear consistent on disk to all utilities.

2010-01-15xfs: Replace per-ag array with a radix treeDave Chinner
The use of an array for the per-ag structures requires reallocation of the array when growing the filesystem. This requires locking access to the array to avoid use after free situations, and the locking is difficult to get right. To avoid needing to reallocate an array, change the per-ag structures to an allocated object per ag and index them using a tree structure. The AGs are always densely indexed (hence the use of an array), but the number supported is 2^32 and lookups tend to be random and hence indexing needs to scale. A simple choice is a radix tree - it works well with this sort of index. This change also removes another large contiguous allocation from the mount/growfs path in XFS. The growing process now needs to change to only initialise the new AGs required for the extra space, and as such only needs to exclusively lock the tree for inserts. The rest of the code only needs to lock the tree while doing lookups, and hence this will remove all the deadlocks that currently occur on the m_perag_lock as it is now an innermost lock. The lock is also changed to a spinlock from a read/write lock as the hold time is now extremely short. To complete the picture, the per-ag structures will need to be reference counted to ensure that we don't free/modify them while they are still in use. This will be done in subsequent patch.

2010-01-15xfs: xfs_swap_extents needs to handle dynamic fork offsetsDave Chinner
When swapping extents, we can corrupt inodes by swapping data forks that are in incompatible formats. This is caused by the two indoes having different fork offsets due to the presence of an attribute fork on an attr2 filesystem. xfs_fsr tries to be smart about setting the fork offset, but the trick it plays only works on attr1 (old fixed format attribute fork) filesystems. Changing the way xfs_fsr sets up the attribute fork will prevent this situation from ever occurring, so in the kernel code we can get by with a preventative fix - check that the data fork in the defragmented inode is in a format valid for the inode it is being swapped into. This will lead to files that will silently and potentially repeatedly fail defragmentation, so issue a warning to the log when this particular failure occurs to let us know that xfs_fsr needs updating/fixing. To help identify how to improve xfs_fsr to avoid this issue, add trace points for the inodes being swapped so that we can determine why the swap was rejected and to confirm that the code is making the right decisions and modifications when swapping forks. A further complication is even when the swap is allowed to proceed when the fork offset is different between the two inodes then value for the maximum number of extents the data fork can hold can be wrong. Make sure these are also set correctly after the swap occurs. Signed-off-by: Dave Chinner <david@fromorbit.com> Reviewed-by: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de> Signed-off-by: Alex Elder <aelder@sgi.com>
