* [XFS] Account for inode cluster alignment in all allocationsDavid Chinner2008-04-181-15/+29
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | At ENOSPC, we can get a filesystem shutdown due to a cancelling a dirty transaction in xfs_mkdir or xfs_create. This is due to the initial allocation attempt not taking into account inode alignment and hence we can prepare the AGF freelist for allocation when it's not actually possible to do an allocation. This results in inode allocation returning ENOSPC with a dirty transaction, and hence we shut down the filesystem. Because the first allocation is an exact allocation attempt, we must tell the allocator that the alignment does not affect the allocation attempt. i.e. we will accept any extent alignment as long as the extent starts at the block we want. Unfortunately, this means that if the longest free extent is less than the length + alignment necessary for fallback allocation attempts but is long enough to attempt a non-aligned allocation, we will modify the free list. If we then have the exact allocation fail, all other allocation attempts will also fail due to the alignment constraint being taken into account. Hence the initial attempt needs to set the "alignment slop" field so that alignment, while not required, must be taken into account when determining if there is enough space left in the AG to do the allocation. That means if the exact allocation fails, we will not dirty the freelist if there is not enough space available fo a subsequent allocation to succeed. Hence we get an ENOSPC error back to userspace without shutting down the filesystem.

* [XFS] Use power-of-2 sized buffers to reduce overheadDavid Chinner2008-04-182-8/+15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Now that the ktrace_enter() code is using atomics, the non-power-of-2 buffer sizes - which require modulus operations to get the index - are showing up as using substantial CPU in the profiles. Force the buffer sizes to be rounded up to the nearest power of two and use masking rather than modulus operations to convert the index counter to the buffer index. This reduces ktrace_enter overhead to 8% of a CPU time, and again almost halves the trace intensive test runtime.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | XFS changes the c/mtime of an inode when truncating it to the same size. The c/mtime is only supposed to change if the size is changed. Not to be confused with ftruncate, where the c/mtime is supposed to be changed even if the size is not changed. The Linux VFS encodes this semantic difference in the flags it sends down to ->setattr, which XFS currently ignores. We need to make XFS pay attention to the VFS flags and hence Do The Right Thing.

* [XFS] Use atomics for iclog reference countingDavid Chinner2008-04-182-17/+21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Now that we update the log tail LSN less frequently on transaction completion, we pass the contention straight to the global log state lock (l_iclog_lock) during transaction completion. We currently have to take this lock to decrement the iclog reference count. there is a reference count on each iclog, so we need to take þhe global lock for all refcount changes. When large numbers of processes are all doing small trnasctions, the iclog reference counts will be quite high, and the state change that absolutely requires the l_iclog_lock is the except rather than the norm. Change the reference counting on the iclogs to use atomic_inc/dec so that we can use atomic_dec_and_lock during transaction completion and avoid the need for grabbing the l_iclog_lock for every reference count decrement except the one that matters - the last.

* [XFS] Prevent AIL lock contention during transaction completionDavid Chinner2008-04-181-9/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When hundreds of processors attempt to commit transactions at the same time, they can contend on the AIL lock when updating the tail LSN held in the in-core log structure. At the moment, the tail LSN is only needed when actually writing out an iclog, so it really does not need to be updated on every single transaction completion - only those that result in switching iclogs and flushing them to disk. The result is that we reduce the number of times we need to grab the AIL lock and the log grant lock by up to two orders of magnitude on large processor count machines. The problem has previously been hidden by AIL lock contention walking the AIL list which was recently solved and uncovered this issue.

* [XFS] Remove the xfs_icluster structureDavid Chinner2008-04-184-182/+156
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Remove the xfs_icluster structure and replace with a radix tree lookup. We don't need to keep a list of inodes in each cluster around anymore as we can look them up quickly when we need to. The only time we need to do this now is during inode writeback. Factor the inode cluster writeback code out of xfs_iflush and convert it to use radix_tree_gang_lookup() instead of walking a list of inodes built when we first read in the inodes. This remove 3 pointers from each xfs_inode structure and the xfs_icluster structure per inode cluster. Hence we reduce the cache footprint of the xfs_inodes by between 5-10% depending on cluster sparseness. To be truly efficient we need a radix_tree_gang_lookup_range() call to stop searching once we are past the end of the cluster instead of trying to find a full cluster's worth of inodes.

* [XFS] Don't block pdflush when writing back inodesDavid Chinner2008-04-188-105/+105
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When pdflush is writing back inodes, it can get stuck on inode cluster buffers that are currently under I/O. This occurs when we write data to multiple inodes in the same inode cluster at the same time. Effectively, delayed allocation marks the inode dirty during the data writeback. Hence if the inode cluster was flushed during the writeback of the first inode, the writeback of the second inode will block waiting for the inode cluster write to complete before writing it again for the newly dirtied inode. Basically, we want to avoid this from happening so we don't block pdflush and slow down all of writeback. Hence we introduce a non-blocking async inode flush flag that pdflush uses. If this flag is set, we use non-blocking operations (e.g. try locks) whereever we can to avoid blocking or extra I/O being issued.

The page offset is miscalculated, leading to corruption of the fragment lists and subsequently to memory corruption and panics. [ Side note: the bug is a fairly direct result of the naming. Nick was likely misled by the use of "offs", since we tend to use the notion of "offset" not as an absolute position, but as an offset _within_ a page or allocation. Alternatively, a "pgoff_t" is a page index, but not a byte offset - our VM naming can be a bit confusing. So in this case, a VM person would likely have called this a "pos", not an "offs", or perhaps talked about byte offsets rather than page offsets (since it's counted in bytes, not pages). - Linus ] Signed-off-by: Alexey Korolev <akorolev@infradead.org> Signed-off-by: Vasiliy Leonenko <vasiliy.leonenko@mail.ru> Signed-off-by: David Woodhouse <dwmw2@infradead.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
* locks: fix possible infinite loop in fcntl(F_SETLKW) over nfsJ. Bruce Fields2008-04-141-20/+28
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Miklos Szeredi found the bug: "Basically what happens is that on the server nlm_fopen() calls nfsd_open() which returns -EACCES, to which nlm_fopen() returns NLM_LCK_DENIED. "On the client this will turn into a -EAGAIN (nlm_stat_to_errno()), which in will cause fcntl_setlk() to retry forever." So, for example, opening a file on an nfs filesystem, changing permissions to forbid further access, then trying to lock the file, could result in an infinite loop. And Trond Myklebust identified the culprit, from Marc Eshel and I: 7723ec9777d9832849b76475b1a21a2872a40d20 "locks: factor out generic/filesystem switch from setlock code" That commit claimed to just be reshuffling code, but actually introduced a behavioral change by calling the lock method repeatedly as long as it returned -EAGAIN. We assumed this would be safe, since we assumed a lock of type SETLKW would only return with either success or an error other than -EAGAIN. However, nfs does can in fact return -EAGAIN in this situation, and independently of whether that behavior is correct or not, we don't actually need this change, and it seems far safer not to depend on such assumptions about the filesystem's ->lock method. Therefore, revert the problematic part of the original commit. This leaves vfs_lock_file() and its other callers unchanged, while returning fcntl_setlk and fcntl_setlk64 to their former behavior.

* | asmlinkage_protect sys_io_geteventsRoland McGrath2008-04-101-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Use asmlinkage_protect in sys_io_getevents, because GCC for i386 with CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER=n can decide to clobber an argument word on the stack, i.e. the user struct pt_regs. Here the problem is not a tail call, but just the compiler's use of the stack when it inlines and optimizes the body of the called function. This seems to avoid it.

* | asmlinkage_protect replaces prevent_tail_callRoland McGrath2008-04-101-4/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The prevent_tail_call() macro works around the problem of the compiler clobbering argument words on the stack, which for asmlinkage functions is the caller's (user's) struct pt_regs. The tail/sibling-call optimization is not the only way that the compiler can decide to use stack argument words as scratch space, which we have to prevent. Other optimizations can do it too. Until we have new compiler support to make "asmlinkage" binding on the compiler's own use of the stack argument frame, we have work around all the manifestations of this issue that crop up. More cases seem to be prevented by also keeping the incoming argument variables live at the end of the function. This makes their original stack slots attractive places to leave those variables, so the compiler tends not clobber them for something else. It's still no guarantee, but it handles some observed cases that prevent_tail_call() did not.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Since older kernels may look in the sb_bad_features2 slot for flags, rather than zeroing it out on fixup, we should make it equal to the sb_features2 value. Also, if the ATTR2 flag was not found prior to features2 fixup, it was not set in the mount flags, so re-check after the fixup so that the current session will use the feature. Also fix up the comments to reflect these changes.

This patch detects the defect at mount time, logs a warning such as: XFS: correcting sb_features alignment problem in dmesg and corrects the problem so that everything is OK. it also blacklists the bad field in the superblock so it does not get used for something else later on.

* | Be more careful about marking buffers dirtyLinus Torvalds2008-04-041-1/+14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Mikulas Patocka noted that the optimization where we check if a buffer was already dirty (and we avoid re-dirtying it) was not really SMP-safe. Since the read of the old status was not synchronized with anything, an aggressive CPU re-ordering of memory accesses might have moved that read up to before the data was even written to the buffer, and another CPU that cleaned it again, causing the newly dirty state to never actually hit the disk. Admittedly this would probably never trigger in practice, but it's still wrong. Mikulas sent a patch that fixed the problem, but I dislike the subtlety of the whole optimization, so this is an alternate fix that is more explicit about the particular SMP ordering for the optimization, and separates out the speculative reads of the buffer state into its own conditional (and makes the memory barrier only happen if we are likely to actually hit the optimized case in the first place). I considered removing the optimization entirely, but Andrew argued for it's continued existence. I'm a push-over.
