* xfs: re-enable xfsaild idle mode and fix associated racesBrian Foster2012-07-291-3/+32
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | xfsaild idle mode logic currently leads to a couple hangs: 1.) If xfsaild is rescheduled in during an incremental scan (i.e., tout != 0) and the target has been updated since the previous run, we can hit the new target and go into idle mode with a still populated ail. 2.) A wake up is only issued when the target is pushed forward. The wake up can race with xfsaild if it is currently in the process of entering idle mode, causing future wake up events to be lost. These hangs have been reproduced and verified as fixed by running xfstests 273 in a loop on a slightly modified upstream kernel. The kernel is modified to re-enable idle mode as previously implemented (when count == 0) and with a revert of commit 670ce93f, which includes performance improvements that make this harder to reproduce. The solution, the algorithm for which has been outlined by Dave Chinner, is to modify xfsaild to enter idle mode only when the ail is empty and the push target has not been moved forward since the last push.

* xfs: on-stack delayed write buffer listsChristoph Hellwig2012-05-141-72/+57
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Queue delwri buffers on a local on-stack list instead of a per-buftarg one, and write back the buffers per-process instead of by waking up xfsbufd. This is now easily doable given that we have very few places left that write delwri buffers: - log recovery: Only done at mount time, and already forcing out the buffers synchronously using xfs_flush_buftarg - quotacheck: Same story. - dquot reclaim: Writes out dirty dquots on the LRU under memory pressure. We might want to look into doing more of this via xfsaild, but it's already more optimal than the synchronous inode reclaim that writes each buffer synchronously. - xfsaild: This is the main beneficiary of the change. By keeping a local list of buffers to write we reduce latency of writing out buffers, and more importably we can remove all the delwri list promotions which were hitting the buffer cache hard under sustained metadata loads. The implementation is very straight forward - xfs_buf_delwri_queue now gets a new list_head pointer that it adds the delwri buffers to, and all callers need to eventually submit the list using xfs_buf_delwi_submit or xfs_buf_delwi_submit_nowait. Buffers that already are on a delwri list are skipped in xfs_buf_delwri_queue, assuming they already are on another delwri list. The biggest change to pass down the buffer list was done to the AIL pushing. Now that we operate on buffers the trylock, push and pushbuf log item methods are merged into a single push routine, which tries to lock the item, and if possible add the buffer that needs writeback to the buffer list. This leads to much simpler code than the previous split but requires the individual IOP_PUSH instances to unlock and reacquire the AIL around calls to blocking routines. Given that xfsailds now also handle writing out buffers, the conditions for log forcing and the sleep times needed some small changes. The most important one is that we consider an AIL busy as long we still have buffers to push, and the other one is that we do increment the pushed LSN for buffers that are under flushing at this moment, but still count them towards the stuck items for restart purposes. Without this we could hammer on stuck items without ever forcing the log and not make progress under heavy random delete workloads on fast flash storage devices. [ Dave Chinner: - rebase on previous patches. - improved comments for XBF_DELWRI_Q handling - fix XBF_ASYNC handling in queue submission (test 106 failure) - rename delwri submit function buffer list parameters for clarity - xfs_efd_item_push() should return XFS_ITEM_PINNED ] Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de> Reviewed-by: Dave Chinner <dchinner@redhat.com> Reviewed-by: Mark Tinguely <tinguely@sgi.com> Signed-off-by: Ben Myers <bpm@sgi.com>
* xfs: implement freezing by emptying the AILChristoph Hellwig2012-05-141-7/+29
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Now that we write back all metadata either synchronously or through the AIL we can simply implement metadata freezing in terms of emptying the AIL. The implementation for this is fairly simply and straight-forward: A new routine is added that asks the xfsaild to push the AIL to the end and waits for it to complete and send a wakeup. The routine will then loop if the AIL is not actually empty, and continue to do so until the AIL is compeltely empty. We keep an inode reclaim pass in the freeze process to avoid having memory pressure have to reclaim inodes that require dirtying the filesystem to be reclaimed after the freeze has completed. This means we can also treat unmount in the exact same way as freeze. As an upside we can now remove the radix tree based inode writeback and xfs_unmountfs_writesb.

* xfs: split tail_lsn assignments from log space wakeupsChristoph Hellwig2012-02-221-34/+11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently xfs_log_move_tail has a tail_lsn argument that is horribly overloaded: it may contain either an actual lsn to assign to the log tail, 0 as a special case to use the last sync LSN, or 1 to indicate that no tail LSN assignment should be performed, and we should opportunisticly wake up at one task waiting for log space even if we did not move the LSN. Remove the tail lsn assigned from xfs_log_move_tail and make the two callers use xlog_assign_tail_lsn instead of the current variant of partially using the code in xfs_log_move_tail and partially opencoding it. Note that means we grow an addition lock roundtrip on the AIL lock for each bulk update or delete, which is still far less than what we had before introducing the bulk operations. If this proves to be a problem we can still add a variant of xlog_assign_tail_lsn that expects the lock to be held already. Also rename the remainder of xfs_log_move_tail to xfs_log_space_wake as that name describes its functionality much better.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently we have a few issues with the way the workqueue code is used to implement AIL pushing: - it accidentally uses the same workqueue as the syncer action, and thus can be prevented from running if there are enough sync actions active in the system. - it doesn't use the HIGHPRI flag to queue at the head of the queue of work items At this point I'm not confident enough in getting all the workqueue flags and tweaks right to provide a perfectly reliable execution context for AIL pushing, which is the most important piece in XFS to make forward progress when the log fills. Revert back to use a kthread per filesystem which fixes all the above issues at the cost of having a task struct and stack around for each mounted filesystem.

|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The AIL push code will issue a log force on ever single push loop that it exits and has encountered pinned items. It doesn't rescan these pinned items until it revisits the AIL from the start. Hence we only need to force the log once per walk from the start of the AIL to the target LSN. This results in numbers like this: xs_push_ail_flush..... 1456 xs_log_force......... 1485 For an 8-way 50M inode create workload - almost all the log forces are coming from the AIL pushing code. Reduce the number of log forces by only forcing the log if the previous walk found pinned buffers. This reduces the numbers to: xs_push_ail_flush..... 665 xs_log_force......... 682 For the same test.

* xfs: use a cursor for bulk AIL insertionDave Chinner2011-07-201-21/+88
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Delayed logging can insert tens of thousands of log items into the AIL at the same LSN. When the committing of log commit records occur, we can get insertions occurring at an LSN that is not at the end of the AIL. If there are thousands of items in the AIL on the tail LSN, each insertion has to walk the AIL to find the correct place to insert the new item into the AIL. This can consume large amounts of CPU time and block other operations from occurring while the traversals are in progress. To avoid this repeated walk, use a AIL cursor to record where we should be inserting the new items into the AIL without having to repeat the walk. The cursor infrastructure already provides this functionality for push walks, so is a simple extension of existing code. While this will not avoid the initial walk, it will avoid repeating it tens of thousands of times during a single checkpoint commit. This version includes logic improvements from Christoph Hellwig.

* xfs: fix race condition in AIL push triggerDave Chinner2011-05-091-6/+10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The recent conversion of the xfsaild functionality to a work queue introduced a hard-to-hit log space grant hang. One is caused by a race condition in determining whether there is a psh in progress or not. The XFS_AIL_PUSHING_BIT is used to determine whether a push is currently in progress. When the AIL push work completes, it checked whether the target changed and cleared the PUSHING bit to allow a new push to be requeued. The race condition is as follows: Thread 1 push work smp_wmb() smp_rmb() check ailp->xa_target unchanged update ailp->xa_target test/set PUSHING bit does not queue clear PUSHING bit does not requeue Now that the push target is updated, new attempts to push the AIL will not trigger as the push target will be the same, and hence despite trying to push the AIL we won't ever wake it again. The fix is to ensure that the AIL push work clears the PUSHING bit before it checks if the target is unchanged. As a result, both push triggers operate on the same test/set bit criteria, so even if we race in the push work and miss the target update, the thread requesting the push will still set the PUSHING bit and queue the push work to occur. For safety sake, the same queue check is done if the push work detects the target change, though only one of the two will will queue new work due to the use of test_and_set_bit() checks.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The recent conversion of the xfsaild functionality to a work queue introduced a hard-to-hit log space grant hang. One of the problems discovered is a target mismatch between the item pushing loop and the target itself. The push trigger checks for the target increasing (i.e. new target > current) while the push loop only pushes items that have a LSN < current. As a result, we can get the situation where the push target is X, the items at the tail of the AIL have LSN X and they don't get pushed. The push work then completes thinking it is done, and cannot be restarted until the push target increases to >= X + 1. If the push target then never increases (because the tail is not moving), then we never run the push work again and we stall. Fix it by making sure log items with a LSN that matches the target exactly are pushed during the loop.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When we are short on memory, we want to expedite the cleaning of dirty objects. Hence when we run short on memory, we need to kick the AIL flushing into action to clean as many dirty objects as quickly as possible. To implement this, sample the lsn of the log item at the head of the AIL and use that as the push target for the AIL flush. Further, we keep items in the AIL that are dirty that are not tracked any other way, so we can get objects sitting in the AIL that don't get written back until the AIL is pushed. Hence to get the filesystem to the idle state, we might need to push the AIL to flush out any remaining dirty objects sitting in the AIL. This requires the same push mechanism as the reclaim push.

This involves processing them one at a time and taking the AIL lock once for every inode. When all CPUs are processing inode IO completions, this causes excessive amount sof contention on the AIL lock. Instead, change the way we process inode IO completion in the buffer IO done callback. Allow the inode IO done callback to walk the list of IO done callbacks and pull all the inodes off the buffer in one go and then process them as a batch. Once all the inodes for removal are collected, take the AIL lock once and do a bulk removal operation to minimise traffic on the AIL lock.

* xfs: bulk AIL insertion during transaction commitDave Chinner2010-12-201-2/+107
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When inserting items into the AIL from the transaction committed callbacks, we take the AIL lock for every single item that is to be inserted. For a CIL checkpoint commit, this can be tens of thousands of individual inserts, yet almost all of the items will be inserted at the same point in the AIL because they have the same index. To reduce the overhead and contention on the AIL lock for such operations, introduce a "bulk insert" operation which allows a list of log items with the same LSN to be inserted in a single operation via a list splice. To do this, we need to pre-sort the log items being committed into a temporary list for insertion. The complexity is that not every log item will end up with the same LSN, and not every item is actually inserted into the AIL. Items that don't match the commit LSN will be inserted and unpinned as per the current one-at-a-time method (relatively rare), while items that are not to be inserted will be unpinned and freed immediately. Items that are to be inserted at the given commit lsn are placed in a temporary array and inserted into the AIL in bulk each time the array fills up. As a result of this, we trade off AIL hold time for a significant reduction in traffic. lock_stat output shows that the worst case hold time is unchanged, but contention from AIL inserts drops by an order of magnitude and the number of lock traversal decreases significantly.

* xfs: clean up xfs_ail_delete()Dave Chinner2010-12-031-20/+7
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | xfs_ail_delete() has a needlessly complex interface. It returns the log item that was passed in for deletion (which the callers then assert is identical to the one passed in), and callers of xfs_ail_delete() still need to invalidate current traversal cursors. Make xfs_ail_delete() return void, move the cursor invalidation inside it, and clean up the callers just to use the log item pointer they passed in. While cleaning up, remove the messy and unnecessary "/* ARGUSED */" comments around all these functions. Signed-off-by: Dave Chinner <dchinner@redhat.com> Reviewed-by: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de>

* xfs: Don't issue buffer IO direct from AIL push V2Dave Chinner2010-02-021-6/+7
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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>

* xfs: copy li_lsn before dropping AIL lockNathaniel W. Turner2009-11-171-3/+20
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Access to log items on the AIL is generally protected by m_ail_lock; this is particularly needed when we're getting or setting the 64-bit li_lsn on a 32-bit platform. This patch fixes a couple places where we were accessing the log item after dropping the AIL lock on 32-bit machines. This can result in a partially-zeroed log->l_tail_lsn if xfs_trans_ail_delete is racing with xfs_trans_ail_update, and in at least some cases, this can leave the l_tail_lsn with a zero cycle number, which means xlog_space_left will think the log is full (unless CONFIG_XFS_DEBUG is set, in which case we'll trip an ASSERT), leading to processes stuck forever in xlog_grant_log_space.

* [XFS] Use a cursor for AIL traversal.David Chinner2008-10-301-56/+151
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | To replace the current generation number ensuring sanity of the AIL traversal, replace it with an external cursor that is linked to the AIL. Basically, we store the next item in the cursor whenever we want to drop the AIL lock to do something to the current item. When we regain the lock. the current item may already be free, so we can't reference it, but the next item in the traversal is already held in the cursor. When we move or delete an object, we search all the active cursors and if there is an item match we clear the cursor(s) that point to the object. This forces the traversal to restart transparently. We don't invalidate the cursor on insert because the cursor still points to a valid item. If the intem is inserted between the current item and the cursor it does not matter; the traversal is considered to be past the insertion point so it will be picked up in the next traversal. Hence traversal restarts pretty much disappear altogether with this method of traversal, which should substantially reduce the overhead of pushing on a busy AIL.
