* mm: vmscan: take page buffers dirty and locked state into accountMel Gorman2013-07-031-0/+34
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Page reclaim keeps track of dirty and under writeback pages and uses it to determine if wait_iff_congested() should stall or if kswapd should begin writing back pages. This fails to account for buffer pages that can be under writeback but not PageWriteback which is the case for filesystems like ext3 ordered mode. Furthermore, PageDirty buffer pages can have all the buffers clean and writepage does no IO so it should not be accounted as congested. This patch adds an address_space operation that filesystems may optionally use to check if a page is really dirty or really under writeback. An implementation is provided for for buffer_heads is added and used for block operations and ext3 in ordered mode. By default the page flags are obeyed. Credit goes to Jan Kara for identifying that the page flags alone are not sufficient for ext3 and sanity checking a number of ideas on how the problem could be addressed.

* mm: change invalidatepage prototype to accept lengthLukas Czerner2013-05-211-3/+18
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently there is no way to truncate partial page where the end truncate point is not at the end of the page. This is because it was not needed and the functionality was enough for file system truncate operation to work properly. However more file systems now support punch hole feature and it can benefit from mm supporting truncating page just up to the certain point. Specifically, with this functionality truncate_inode_pages_range() can be changed so it supports truncating partial page at the end of the range (currently it will BUG_ON() if 'end' is not at the end of the page). This commit changes the invalidatepage() address space operation prototype to accept range to be invalidated and update all the instances for it. We also change the block_invalidatepage() in the same way and actually make a use of the new length argument implementing range invalidation. Actual file system implementations will follow except the file systems where the changes are really simple and should not change the behaviour in any way .Implementation for truncate_page_range() which will be able to accept page unaligned ranges will follow as well.

Next, for the one user (ext3/jbd) of snapshotting, hook all the places where writes can be initiated without PG_writeback set, and set BIO_SNAP_STABLE there. We must also flag journal "metadata" bios for stable writeout, since file data can be written through the journal. Finally, the MS_SNAP_STABLE mount flag (only used by ext3) is now superfluous, so get rid of it.

* | | mm: only enforce stable page writes if the backing device requires itDarrick J. Wong2013-02-211-1/+1
|/ / | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Create a helper function to check if a backing device requires stable page writes and, if so, performs the necessary wait. Then, make it so that all points in the memory manager that handle making pages writable use the helper function. This should provide stable page write support to most filesystems, while eliminating unnecessary waiting for devices that don't require the feature. Before this patchset, all filesystems would block, regardless of whether or not it was necessary. ext3 would wait, but still generate occasional checksum errors. The network filesystems were left to do their own thing, so they'd wait too. After this patchset, all the disk filesystems except ext3 and btrfs will wait only if the hardware requires it. ext3 (if necessary) snapshots pages instead of blocking, and btrfs provides its own bdi so the mm will never wait. Network filesystems haven't been touched, so either they provide their own stable page guarantees or they don't block at all. The blocking behavior is back to what it was before 3.0 if you don't have a disk requiring stable page writes. Here's the result of using dbench to test latency on ext2: 3.8.0-rc3: Operation Count AvgLat MaxLat ---------------------------------------- WriteX 109347 0.028 59.817 ReadX 347180 0.004 3.391 Flush 15514 29.828 287.283 Throughput 57.429 MB/sec 4 clients 4 procs max_latency=287.290 ms 3.8.0-rc3 + patches: WriteX 105556 0.029 4.273 ReadX 335004 0.005 4.112 Flush 14982 30.540 298.634 Throughput 55.4496 MB/sec 4 clients 4 procs max_latency=298.650 ms As you can see, the maximum write latency drops considerably with this patch enabled. The other filesystems (ext3/ext4/xfs/btrfs) behave similarly, but see the cover letter for those results. Signed-off-by: Darrick J.

* | vfs: add missing virtual cache flush after editing partial pagesLinus Torvalds2013-01-141-0/+1
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Andrew Morton pointed this out a month ago, and then I completely forgot about it. If we read a partial last page of a block device, we will zero out the end of the page, but since that page can then be mapped into user space, we should also make sure to flush the cache on architectures that have virtual caches. We have the flush_dcache_page() function for this, so use it. Now, in practice this really never matters, because nobody sane uses virtual caches to begin with, and they largely exist on old broken RISC arhitectures. And even if you did run on one of those obsolete CPU's, the whole "mmap and access the last partial page of a block device" behavior probably doesn't actually exist. The normal IO functions (read/write) will never see the zeroed-out part of the page that migth not be coherent in the cache, because they honor the size of the device. So I'm marking this for stable (3.7 only), but I'm not sure anybody will ever care.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The block device access simplification that avoided accessing the (racy) block size information (commit bbec0270bdd8: "blkdev_max_block: make private to fs/buffer.c") no longer checks the maximum block size in the block mapping path. That was _almost_ as simple as just removing the code entirely, because the readers and writers all check the size of the device anyway, so under normal circumstances it "just worked". However, the block size may be such that the end of the device may straddle one single buffer_head. At which point we may still want to access the end of the device, but the buffer we use to access it partially extends past the end. The 'bd_set_size()' function intentionally sets the block size to avoid this, but mounting the device - or setting the block size by hand to some other value - can modify that block size. So instead, teach 'submit_bh()' about the special case of the buffer head straddling the end of the device, and turning such an access into a smaller IO access, avoiding the problem. This, btw, also means that unlike before, we can now access the whole device regardless of device block size setting. So now, even if the device size is only 512-byte aligned, we can read and write even the last sector even when having a much bigger block size for accessing the rest of the device. So with this, we could now get rid of the 'bd_set_size()' block size code entirely - resulting in faster IO for the common case - but that would be a separate patch.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This makes the buffer size handling be a per-page thing, which allows us to not have to worry about locking too much when changing the buffer size. If a page doesn't have buffers, we still need to read the block size from the inode, but we can do that with ACCESS_ONCE(), so that even if the size is changing, we get a consistent value. This doesn't convert all functions - many of the buffer functions are used purely by filesystems, which in turn results in the buffer size being fixed at mount-time. So they don't have the same consistency issues that the raw device access can have. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Commits 5e8830dc85d0 and 41c4d25f78c0 introduced a regression into v3.6-rc1 for ext4 in nodealloc mode, such that mtime updates would not take place for files modified via mmap if the page was already in the page cache. This would also affect ext3 file systems mounted using the ext4 file system driver. The problem was that ext4_page_mkwrite() had a shortcut which would avoid calling __block_page_mkwrite() under some circumstances, and the above two commit transferred the responsibility of calling file_update_time() to __block_page_mkwrite --- which woudln't get called in some circumstances. Since __block_page_mkwrite() only has three callers, block_page_mkwrite(), ext4_page_mkwrite, and nilfs_page_mkwrite(), the best way to solve this is to move the responsibility for calling file_update_time() to its caller. This problem was found via xfstests #215 with a file system mounted with -o nodelalloc.

* | block: replace __getblk_slow misfix by grow_dev_page fixHugh Dickins2012-08-231-36/+30
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Commit 91f68c89d8f3 ("block: fix infinite loop in __getblk_slow") is not good: a successful call to grow_buffers() cannot guarantee that the page won't be reclaimed before the immediate next call to __find_get_block(), which is why there was always a loop there. Yesterday I got "EXT4-fs error (device loop0): __ext4_get_inode_loc:3595: inode #19278: block 664: comm cc1: unable to read itable block" on console, which pointed to this commit. I've been trying to bisect for weeks, why kbuild-on-ext4-on-loop-on-tmpfs sometimes fails from a missing header file, under memory pressure on ppc G5. I've never seen this on x86, and I've never seen it on 3.5-rc7 itself, despite that commit being in there: bisection pointed to an irrelevant pinctrl merge, but hard to tell when failure takes between 18 minutes and 38 hours (but so far it's happened quicker on 3.6-rc2). (I've since found such __ext4_get_inode_loc errors in /var/log/messages from previous weeks: why the message never appeared on console until yesterday morning is a mystery for another day.) Revert 91f68c89d8f3, restoring __getblk_slow() to how it was (plus a checkpatch nitfix). Simplify the interface between grow_buffers() and grow_dev_page(), and avoid the infinite loop beyond end of device by instead checking init_page_buffers()'s end_block there (I presume that's more efficient than a repeated call to blkdev_max_block()), returning -ENXIO to __getblk_slow() in that case. And remove akpm's ten-year-old "__getblk() cannot fail ... weird" comment, but that is worrying: are all users of __getblk() really now prepared for a NULL bh beyond end of device, or will some oops??

* fs: Protect write paths by sb_start_write - sb_end_writeJan Kara2012-07-311-18/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | There are several entry points which dirty pages in a filesystem. mmap (handled by block_page_mkwrite()), buffered write (handled by __generic_file_aio_write()), splice write (generic_file_splice_write), truncate, and fallocate (these can dirty last partial page - handled inside each filesystem separately). Protect these places with sb_start_write() and sb_end_write(). ->page_mkwrite() calls are particularly complex since they are called with mmap_sem held and thus we cannot use standard sb_start_write() due to lock ordering constraints. We solve the problem by using a special freeze protection sb_start_pagefault() which ranks below mmap_sem.

* block: fix infinite loop in __getblk_slowJeff Moyer2012-07-131-9/+13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Commit 080399aaaf35 ("block: don't mark buffers beyond end of disk as mapped") exposed a bug in __getblk_slow that causes mount to hang as it loops infinitely waiting for a buffer that lies beyond the end of the disk to become uptodate. The problem was initially reported by Torsten Hilbrich here: https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/6/18/54 and also reported independently here: http://www.sysresccd.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=4511 and then Richard W.M. Jones and Marcos Mello noted a few separate bugzillas also associated with the same issue. This patch has been confirmed to fix: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=835019 The main problem is here, in __getblk_slow: for (;;) { struct buffer_head * bh; int ret; bh = __find_get_block(bdev, block, size); if (bh) return bh; ret = grow_buffers(bdev, block, size); if (ret < 0) return NULL; if (ret == 0) free_more_memory(); } __find_get_block does not find the block, since it will not be marked as mapped, and so grow_buffers is called to fill in the buffers for the associated page. I believe the for (;;) loop is there primarily to retry in the case of memory pressure keeping grow_buffers from succeeding. However, we also continue to loop for other cases, like the block lying beond the end of the disk. So, the fix I came up with is to only loop when grow_buffers fails due to memory allocation issues (return value of 0). The attached patch was tested by myself, Torsten, and Rich, and was found to resolve the problem in call cases.

Then, when dd reads the block device, it leads to block_read_full_page being called with buffers that are beyond end of disk, but are marked as mapped. Thus, it would end up submitting read I/O against them, resulting in the errors mentioned above. I fixed the problem by modifying init_page_buffers to only set the buffer mapped if it fell inside of i_size.

* fs/buffer.c: remove BUG() in possible but rare conditionGlauber Costa2012-04-251-1/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | While stressing the kernel with with failing allocations today, I hit the following chain of events: alloc_page_buffers(): bh = alloc_buffer_head(GFP_NOFS); if (!bh) goto no_grow; <= path taken grow_dev_page(): bh = alloc_page_buffers(page, size, 0); if (!bh) goto failed; <= taken, consequence of the above and then the failed path BUG()s the kernel. The failure is inserted a litte bit artificially, but even then, I see no reason why it should be deemed impossible in a real box. Even though this is not a condition that we expect to see around every time, failed allocations are expected to be handled, and BUG() sounds just too much. As a matter of fact, grow_dev_page() can return NULL just fine in other circumstances, so I propose we just remove it, then.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In several code paths, such as when unmounting a file system (but not only) we send an IPI to ask each cpu to invalidate its local LRU BHs. For multi-cores systems that have many cpus that may not have any LRU BH because they are idle or because they have not performed any file system accesses since last invalidation (e.g. CPU crunching on high perfomance computing nodes that write results to shared memory or only using filesystems that do not use the bh layer.) This can lead to loss of performance each time someone switches the KVM (the virtual keyboard and screen type, not the hypervisor) if it has a USB storage stuck in. This patch attempts to only send an IPI to cpus that have LRU BH.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | I've got a report of a file corruption from fsxlinux on ext3. The important operations to the page were: mapwrite to a hole partial write to the page read - found the page zeroed from the end of the normal write The culprit seems to be that if get_block() fails in __block_write_begin() (e.g. transient ENOSPC in ext3), the function does ClearPageUptodate(page). Thus when we retry the write, the logic in __block_write_begin() thinks zeroing of the page is needed and overwrites old data. In fact, I don't see why we should ever need to zero the uptodate bit here - either the page was uptodate when we entered __block_write_begin() and it should stay so when we leave it, or it was not uptodate and noone had right to set it uptodate during __block_write_begin() so it remains !uptodate when we leave as well. So just remove clearing of the bit. Signed-off-by: Jan Kara <jack@suse.cz> Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We should not allow file modification via mmap while the filesystem is frozen. So block in block_page_mkwrite() while the filesystem is frozen. We cannot do the blocking wait in __block_page_mkwrite() since e.g. ext4 will want to call that function with transaction started in some cases and that would deadlock. But we can at least do the non-blocking reliable check in __block_page_mkwrite() which is the hardest part anyway. We have to check for frozen filesystem with the page marked dirty and under page lock with which we then return from ->page_mkwrite(). Only that way we cannot race with writeback done by freezing code - either we mark the page dirty after the writeback has started, see freezing in progress and block, or writeback will wait for our page lock which is released only when the fault is done and then writeback will writeout and writeprotect the page again.

| * fs: protect inode->i_state with inode->i_lockDave Chinner2011-03-241-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Protect inode state transitions and validity checks with the inode->i_lock. This enables us to make inode state transitions independently of the inode_lock and is the first step to peeling away the inode_lock from the code. This requires that __iget() is done atomically with i_state checks during list traversals so that we don't race with another thread marking the inode I_FREEING between the state check and grabbing the reference. Also remove the unlock_new_inode() memory barrier optimisation required to avoid taking the inode_lock when clearing I_NEW. Simplify the code by simply taking the inode->i_lock around the state change and wakeup. Because the wakeup is no longer tricky, remove the wake_up_inode() function and open code the wakeup where necessary.

* | fs: make fsync_buffers_list() plugJens Axboe2011-03-171-0/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | It used WRITE_SYNC_PLUG before and potentially submits a batch of IO, so lets enable plugging for this case. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jaxboe@fusionio.com>
* | block: kill off REQ_UNPLUGJens Axboe2011-03-101-10/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | With the plugging now being explicitly controlled by the submitter, callers need not pass down unplugging hints to the block layer. If they want to unplug, it's because they manually plugged on their own - in which case, they should just unplug at will. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jaxboe@fusionio.com>
* | block: remove per-queue pluggingJens Axboe2011-03-101-27/+4
|/ | | | | | | | Code has been converted over to the new explicit on-stack plugging, and delay users have been converted to use the new API for that. So lets kill off the old plugging along with aops->sync_page(). Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jaxboe@fusionio.com>
