2007-07-19mm: merge populate and nopage into fault (fixes nonlinear)Nick Piggin
Nonlinear mappings are (AFAIKS) simply a virtual memory concept that encodes the virtual address -> file offset differently from linear mappings. ->populate is a layering violation because the filesystem/pagecache code should need to know anything about the virtual memory mapping. The hitch here is that the ->nopage handler didn't pass down enough information (ie. pgoff). But it is more logical to pass pgoff rather than have the ->nopage function calculate it itself anyway (because that's a similar layering violation). Having the populate handler install the pte itself is likewise a nasty thing to be doing. This patch introduces a new fault handler that replaces ->nopage and ->populate and (later) ->nopfn. Most of the old mechanism is still in place so there is a lot of duplication and nice cleanups that can be removed if everyone switches over. The rationale for doing this in the first place is that nonlinear mappings are subject to the pagefault vs invalidate/truncate race too, and it seemed stupid to duplicate the synchronisation logic rather than just consolidate the two. After this patch, MAP_NONBLOCK no longer sets up ptes for pages present in pagecache. Seems like a fringe functionality anyway. NOPAGE_REFAULT is removed. This should be implemented with ->fault, and no users have hit mainline yet.

2007-07-19mm: fix fault vs invalidate race for linear mappingsNick Piggin
Fix the race between invalidate_inode_pages and do_no_page. Andrea Arcangeli identified a subtle race between invalidation of pages from pagecache with userspace mappings, and do_no_page. The issue is that invalidation has to shoot down all mappings to the page, before it can be discarded from the pagecache. Between shooting down ptes to a particular page, and actually dropping the struct page from the pagecache, do_no_page from any process might fault on that page and establish a new mapping to the page just before it gets discarded from the pagecache. The most common case where such invalidation is used is in file truncation. This case was catered for by doing a sort of open-coded seqlock between the file's i_size, and its truncate_count. Truncation will decrease i_size, then increment truncate_count before unmapping userspace pages; do_no_page will read truncate_count, then find the page if it is within i_size, and then check truncate_count under the page table lock and back out and retry if it had subsequently been changed (ptl will serialise against unmapping, and ensure a potentially updated truncate_count is actually visible). Complexity and documentation issues aside, the locking protocol fails in the case where we would like to invalidate pagecache inside i_size. do_no_page can come in anytime and filemap_nopage is not aware of the invalidation in progress (as it is when it is outside i_size). The end result is that dangling (->mapping == NULL) pages that appear to be from a particular file may be mapped into userspace with nonsense data. Valid mappings to the same place will see a different page. Andrea implemented two working fixes, one using a real seqlock, another using a page->flags bit. He also proposed using the page lock in do_no_page, but that was initially considered too heavyweight. However, it is not a global or per-file lock, and the page cacheline is modified in do_no_page to increment _count and _mapcount anyway, so a further modification should not be a large performance hit. Scalability is not an issue. This patch implements this latter approach. ->nopage implementations return with the page locked if it is possible for their underlying file to be invalidated (in that case, they must set a special vm_flags bit to indicate so). do_no_page only unlocks the page after setting up the mapping completely. invalidation is excluded because it holds the page lock during invalidation of each page (and ensures that the page is not mapped while holding the lock). This also allows significant simplifications in do_no_page, because we have the page locked in the right place in the pagecache from the start.

2007-07-19[XFS] Fix inode size update before data write in xfs_setattrDavid Chinner
When changing the file size by a truncate() call, we log the change in the inode size. However, we do not flush any outstanding data that might not have been written to disk, thereby violating the data/inode size update order. This can leave files full of NULLs on crash. Hence if we are truncating the file, flush any unwritten data that may lie between the curret on disk inode size and the new inode size that is being logged to ensure that ordering is preserved.

2007-07-17Freezer: make kernel threads nonfreezable by defaultRafael J. Wysocki
Currently, the freezer treats all tasks as freezable, except for the kernel threads that explicitly set the PF_NOFREEZE flag for themselves. This approach is problematic, since it requires every kernel thread to either set PF_NOFREEZE explicitly, or call try_to_freeze(), even if it doesn't care for the freezing of tasks at all. It seems better to only require the kernel threads that want to or need to be frozen to use some freezer-related code and to remove any freezer-related code from the other (nonfreezable) kernel threads, which is done in this patch. The patch causes all kernel threads to be nonfreezable by default (ie. to have PF_NOFREEZE set by default) and introduces the set_freezable() function that should be called by the freezable kernel threads in order to unset PF_NOFREEZE. It also makes all of the currently freezable kernel threads call set_freezable(), so it shouldn't cause any (intentional) change of behaviour to appear. Additionally, it updates documentation to describe the freezing of tasks more accurately. [akpm@linux-foundation.org: build fixes] Signed-off-by: Rafael J.

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] Prevent ENOSPC from aborting transactions that need to succeedDavid Chinner
During delayed allocation extent conversion or unwritten extent conversion, we need to reserve some blocks for transactions reservations. We need to reserve these blocks in case a btree split occurs and we need to allocate some blocks. Unfortunately, we've only ever reserved the number of data blocks we are allocating, so in both the unwritten and delalloc case we can get ENOSPC to the transaction reservation. This is bad because in both cases we cannot report the failure to the writing application. The fix is two-fold: 1 - leverage the reserved block infrastructure XFS already has to reserve a small pool of blocks by default to allow specially marked transactions to dip into when we are at ENOSPC. Default setting is min(5%, 1024 blocks). 2 - convert critical transaction reservations to be allowed to dip into this pool. Spots changed are delalloc conversion, unwritten extent conversion and growing a filesystem at ENOSPC. This also allows growing the filesytsem to succeed at ENOSPC.

2007-07-14[XFS] Prevent deadlock when flushing inodes on unmountDavid Chinner
When we are unmounting the filesystem, we flush all the inodes to disk. Unfortunately, if we have an inode cluster that has just been freed and marked stale sitting in an incore log buffer (i.e. hasn't been flushed to disk), it will be holding all the flush locks on the inodes in that cluster. xfs_iflush_all() which is called during unmount walks all the inodes trying to reclaim them, and it doing so calls xfs_finish_reclaim() on each inode. If the inode is dirty, if grabs the flush lock and flushes it. Unfortunately, find dirty inodes that already have their flush lock held and so we sleep. At this point in the unmount process, we are running single-threaded. There is nothing more that can push on the log to force the transaction holding the inode flush locks to disk and hence we deadlock. The fix is to issue a log force before flushing the inodes on unmount so that all the flush locks will be released before we start flushing the inodes.

2007-07-14[XFS] Apply transaction delta counts atomically to incore countersDavid Chinner
With the per-cpu superblock counters, batch updates are no longer atomic across the entire batch of changes. This is not an issue if each individual change in the batch is applied atomically. Unfortunately, free block count changes are not applied atomically, and they are applied in a manner guaranteed to cause problems. Essentially, the free block count reservation that the transaction took initially is returned to the in core counters before a second delta takes away what is used. because these two operations are not atomic, we can race with another thread that can use the returned transaction reservation before the transaction takes the space away again and we can then get ENOSPC being reported in a spot where we don't have an ENOSPC condition, nor should we ever see one there. Fix it up by rolling the two deltas into the one so it can be applied safely (i.e. atomically) to the incore counters.

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] Make hole punching at EOF atomic.David Chinner
If hole punching at EOF is done as two steps (i.e. truncate then extend) the file is in a transient state between the two steps where an application can see the incorrect file size. Punching a hole to EOF needs to be treated in teh same way as all other hole punching cases so that the file size is never seen to change.

2007-07-14[XFS] Fix vmalloc leak on mount/unmount.David Chinner
When setting the length of the iclogbuf to write out we should just be changing the desired byte count rather completely reassociating the buffer memory with the buffer. Reassociating the buffer memory changes the apparent length of the buffer and hence when we free the buffer, we don't free all the vmap()d space we originally allocated.

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.

2007-07-14[XFS] Don't grow filesystems past the size they can index.Nathan Scott
When growing a filesystem we don't check to see if the new size overflows the page cache index range, so we can do silly things like grow a filesystem page 16TB on a 32bit.

2007-05-29[XFS] Write at EOF may not update filesize correctly.David Chinner
The recent fix for preventing NULL files from being left around does not update the file size corectly in all cases. The missing case is a write extending the file that does not need to allocate a block. In that case we used a read mapping of the extent which forced the use of the read I/O completion handler instead of the write I/O completion handle. Hence the file size was not updated on I/O completion.

2007-05-09Add suspend-related notifications for CPU hotplugRafael J. Wysocki
Since nonboot CPUs are now disabled after tasks and devices have been frozen and the CPU hotplug infrastructure is used for this purpose, we need special CPU hotplug notifications that will help the CPU-hotplug-aware subsystems distinguish normal CPU hotplug events from CPU hotplug events related to a system-wide suspend or resume operation in progress. This patch introduces such notifications and causes them to be used during suspend and resume transitions. It also changes all of the CPU-hotplug-aware subsystems to take these notifications into consideration (for now they are handled in the same way as the corresponding "normal" ones).
