xfs: event tracing support Convert the old xfs tracing support that could only be used with the out of tree kdb and xfsidbg patches to use the generic event tracer. To use it make sure CONFIG_EVENT_TRACING is enabled and then enable all xfs trace channels by: echo 1 > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/xfs/enable or alternatively enable single events by just doing the same in one event subdirectory, e.g. echo 1 > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/xfs/xfs_ihold/enable or set more complex filters, etc. In Documentation/trace/events.txt all this is desctribed in more detail. To reads the events do a cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/trace Compared to the last posting this patch converts the tracing mostly to the one tracepoint per callsite model that other users of the new tracing facility also employ. This allows a very fine-grained control of the tracing, a cleaner output of the traces and also enables the perf tool to use each tracepoint as a virtual performance counter, allowing us to e.g. count how often certain workloads git various spots in XFS. Take a look at http://lwn.net/Articles/346470/ for some examples. Also the btree tracing isn't included at all yet, as it will require additional core tracing features not in mainline yet, I plan to deliver it later. And the really nice thing about this patch is that it actually removes many lines of code while adding this nice functionality: fs/xfs/Makefile | 8 fs/xfs/linux-2.6/xfs_acl.c | 1 fs/xfs/linux-2.6/xfs_aops.c | 52 - fs/xfs/linux-2.6/xfs_aops.h | 2 fs/xfs/linux-2.6/xfs_buf.c | 117 +-- fs/xfs/linux-2.6/xfs_buf.h | 33 fs/xfs/linux-2.6/xfs_fs_subr.c | 3 fs/xfs/linux-2.6/xfs_ioctl.c | 1 fs/xfs/linux-2.6/xfs_ioctl32.c | 1 fs/xfs/linux-2.6/xfs_iops.c | 1 fs/xfs/linux-2.6/xfs_linux.h | 1 fs/xfs/linux-2.6/xfs_lrw.c | 87 -- fs/xfs/linux-2.6/xfs_lrw.h | 45 - fs/xfs/linux-2.6/xfs_super.c | 104 --- fs/xfs/linux-2.6/xfs_super.h | 7 fs/xfs/linux-2.6/xfs_sync.c | 1 fs/xfs/linux-2.6/xfs_trace.c | 75 ++ fs/xfs/linux-2.6/xfs_trace.h | 1369 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ fs/xfs/linux-2.6/xfs_vnode.h | 4 fs/xfs/quota/xfs_dquot.c | 110 --- fs/xfs/quota/xfs_dquot.h | 21 fs/xfs/quota/xfs_qm.c | 40 - fs/xfs/quota/xfs_qm_syscalls.c | 4 fs/xfs/support/ktrace.c | 323 --------- fs/xfs/support/ktrace.h | 85 -- fs/xfs/xfs.h | 16 fs/xfs/xfs_ag.h | 14 fs/xfs/xfs_alloc.c | 230 +----- fs/xfs/xfs_alloc.h | 27 fs/xfs/xfs_alloc_btree.c | 1 fs/xfs/xfs_attr.c | 107 --- fs/xfs/xfs_attr.h | 10 fs/xfs/xfs_attr_leaf.c | 14 fs/xfs/xfs_attr_sf.h | 40 - fs/xfs/xfs_bmap.c | 507 +++------------ fs/xfs/xfs_bmap.h | 49 - fs/xfs/xfs_bmap_btree.c | 6 fs/xfs/xfs_btree.c | 5 fs/xfs/xfs_btree_trace.h | 17 fs/xfs/xfs_buf_item.c | 87 -- fs/xfs/xfs_buf_item.h | 20 fs/xfs/xfs_da_btree.c | 3 fs/xfs/xfs_da_btree.h | 7 fs/xfs/xfs_dfrag.c | 2 fs/xfs/xfs_dir2.c | 8 fs/xfs/xfs_dir2_block.c | 20 fs/xfs/xfs_dir2_leaf.c | 21 fs/xfs/xfs_dir2_node.c | 27 fs/xfs/xfs_dir2_sf.c | 26 fs/xfs/xfs_dir2_trace.c | 216 ------ fs/xfs/xfs_dir2_trace.h | 72 -- fs/xfs/xfs_filestream.c | 8 fs/xfs/xfs_fsops.c | 2 fs/xfs/xfs_iget.c | 111 --- fs/xfs/xfs_inode.c | 67 -- fs/xfs/xfs_inode.h | 76 -- fs/xfs/xfs_inode_item.c | 5 fs/xfs/xfs_iomap.c | 85 -- fs/xfs/xfs_iomap.h | 8 fs/xfs/xfs_log.c | 181 +---- fs/xfs/xfs_log_priv.h | 20 fs/xfs/xfs_log_recover.c | 1 fs/xfs/xfs_mount.c | 2 fs/xfs/xfs_quota.h | 8 fs/xfs/xfs_rename.c | 1 fs/xfs/xfs_rtalloc.c | 1 fs/xfs/xfs_rw.c | 3 fs/xfs/xfs_trans.h | 47 + fs/xfs/xfs_trans_buf.c | 62 - fs/xfs/xfs_vnodeops.c | 8 70 files changed, 2151 insertions(+), 2592 deletions(-) Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de> Signed-off-by: Alex Elder <aelder@sgi.com>

include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being included when building most .c files. percpu.h includes slab.h which in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies. percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed. Prepare for this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those headers directly instead of assuming availability. As this conversion needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is used as the basis of conversion. http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py The script does the followings. * Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that only the necessary includes are there. ie. if only gfp is used, gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h. * When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms to its surrounding. It's put in the include block which contains core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered - alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there doesn't seem to be any matching order. * If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the file. The conversion was done in the following steps. 1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h and ~3000 slab.h inclusions. The script emitted errors for ~400 files. 2. Each error was manually checked. Some didn't need the inclusion, some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or embedding .c file was more appropriate for others. This step added inclusions to around 150 files. 3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits from #2 to make sure no file was left behind. 4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed. e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually. 5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell. Most gfp.h inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros. Each slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as necessary. 6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h. 7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures were fixed. CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq). * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config. * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig * ia64 SMP allmodconfig * s390 SMP allmodconfig * alpha SMP allmodconfig * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig 8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as a separate patch and serve as bisection point. Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step 6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch. If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of the specific arch.

xfs: fix direct IO nested transaction deadlock. The direct IO path can do a nested transaction reservation when writing past the EOF. The first transaction is the append transaction for setting the filesize at IO completion, but we can also need a transaction for allocation of blocks. If the log is low on space due to reservations and small log, the append transaction can be granted after wating for space as the only active transaction in the system. This then attempts a reservation for an allocation, which there isn't space in the log for, and the reservation sleeps. The result is that there is nothing left in the system to wake up all the processes waiting for log space to come free. The stack trace that shows this deadlock is relatively innocuous: xlog_grant_head_wait xlog_grant_head_check xfs_log_reserve xfs_trans_reserve xfs_iomap_write_direct __xfs_get_blocks xfs_get_blocks_direct do_blockdev_direct_IO __blockdev_direct_IO xfs_vm_direct_IO generic_file_direct_write xfs_file_dio_aio_writ xfs_file_aio_write do_sync_write vfs_write This was discovered on a filesystem with a log of only 10MB, and a log stripe unit of 256k whih increased the base reservations by 512k. Hence a allocation transaction requires 1.2MB of log space to be available instead of only 260k, and so greatly increased the chance that there wouldn't be enough log space available for the nested transaction to succeed. The key to reproducing it is this mkfs command: mkfs.xfs -f -d agcount=16,su=256k,sw=12 -l su=256k,size=2560b $SCRATCH_DEV The test case was a 1000 fsstress processes running with random freeze and unfreezes every few seconds.

[XFS] Fix to prevent the notorious 'NULL files' problem after a crash. The problem that has been addressed is that of synchronising updates of the file size with writes that extend a file. Without the fix the update of a file's size, as a result of a write beyond eof, is independent of when the cached data is flushed to disk. Often the file size update would be written to the filesystem log before the data is flushed to disk. When a system crashes between these two events and the filesystem log is replayed on mount the file's size will be set but since the contents never made it to disk the file is full of holes. If some of the cached data was flushed to disk then it may just be a section of the file at the end that has holes. There are existing fixes to help alleviate this problem, particularly in the case where a file has been truncated, that force cached data to be flushed to disk when the file is closed. If the system crashes while the file(s) are still open then this flushing will never occur. The fix that we have implemented is to introduce a second file size, called the in-memory file size, that represents the current file size as viewed by the user. The existing file size, called the on-disk file size, is the one that get's written to the filesystem log and we only update it when it is safe to do so. When we write to a file beyond eof we only update the in- memory file size in the write operation. Later when the I/O operation, that flushes the cached data to disk completes, an I/O completion routine will update the on-disk file size. The on-disk file size will be updated to the maximum offset of the I/O or to the value of the in-memory file size if the I/O includes eof.

xfs: fix direct IO nested transaction deadlock. The direct IO path can do a nested transaction reservation when writing past the EOF. The first transaction is the append transaction for setting the filesize at IO completion, but we can also need a transaction for allocation of blocks. If the log is low on space due to reservations and small log, the append transaction can be granted after wating for space as the only active transaction in the system. This then attempts a reservation for an allocation, which there isn't space in the log for, and the reservation sleeps. The result is that there is nothing left in the system to wake up all the processes waiting for log space to come free. The stack trace that shows this deadlock is relatively innocuous: xlog_grant_head_wait xlog_grant_head_check xfs_log_reserve xfs_trans_reserve xfs_iomap_write_direct __xfs_get_blocks xfs_get_blocks_direct do_blockdev_direct_IO __blockdev_direct_IO xfs_vm_direct_IO generic_file_direct_write xfs_file_dio_aio_writ xfs_file_aio_write do_sync_write vfs_write This was discovered on a filesystem with a log of only 10MB, and a log stripe unit of 256k whih increased the base reservations by 512k. Hence a allocation transaction requires 1.2MB of log space to be available instead of only 260k, and so greatly increased the chance that there wouldn't be enough log space available for the nested transaction to succeed. The key to reproducing it is this mkfs command: mkfs.xfs -f -d agcount=16,su=256k,sw=12 -l su=256k,size=2560b $SCRATCH_DEV The test case was a 1000 fsstress processes running with random freeze and unfreezes every few seconds.

[XFS] Fix to prevent the notorious 'NULL files' problem after a crash. The problem that has been addressed is that of synchronising updates of the file size with writes that extend a file. Without the fix the update of a file's size, as a result of a write beyond eof, is independent of when the cached data is flushed to disk. Often the file size update would be written to the filesystem log before the data is flushed to disk. When a system crashes between these two events and the filesystem log is replayed on mount the file's size will be set but since the contents never made it to disk the file is full of holes. If some of the cached data was flushed to disk then it may just be a section of the file at the end that has holes. There are existing fixes to help alleviate this problem, particularly in the case where a file has been truncated, that force cached data to be flushed to disk when the file is closed. If the system crashes while the file(s) are still open then this flushing will never occur. The fix that we have implemented is to introduce a second file size, called the in-memory file size, that represents the current file size as viewed by the user. The existing file size, called the on-disk file size, is the one that get's written to the filesystem log and we only update it when it is safe to do so. When we write to a file beyond eof we only update the in- memory file size in the write operation. Later when the I/O operation, that flushes the cached data to disk completes, an I/O completion routine will update the on-disk file size. The on-disk file size will be updated to the maximum offset of the I/O or to the value of the in-memory file size if the I/O includes eof.

xfs: fix direct IO nested transaction deadlock. The direct IO path can do a nested transaction reservation when writing past the EOF. The first transaction is the append transaction for setting the filesize at IO completion, but we can also need a transaction for allocation of blocks. If the log is low on space due to reservations and small log, the append transaction can be granted after wating for space as the only active transaction in the system. This then attempts a reservation for an allocation, which there isn't space in the log for, and the reservation sleeps. The result is that there is nothing left in the system to wake up all the processes waiting for log space to come free. The stack trace that shows this deadlock is relatively innocuous: xlog_grant_head_wait xlog_grant_head_check xfs_log_reserve xfs_trans_reserve xfs_iomap_write_direct __xfs_get_blocks xfs_get_blocks_direct do_blockdev_direct_IO __blockdev_direct_IO xfs_vm_direct_IO generic_file_direct_write xfs_file_dio_aio_writ xfs_file_aio_write do_sync_write vfs_write This was discovered on a filesystem with a log of only 10MB, and a log stripe unit of 256k whih increased the base reservations by 512k. Hence a allocation transaction requires 1.2MB of log space to be available instead of only 260k, and so greatly increased the chance that there wouldn't be enough log space available for the nested transaction to succeed. The key to reproducing it is this mkfs command: mkfs.xfs -f -d agcount=16,su=256k,sw=12 -l su=256k,size=2560b $SCRATCH_DEV The test case was a 1000 fsstress processes running with random freeze and unfreezes every few seconds.

writeback: remove pages_skipped accounting in __block_write_full_page() Miklos Szeredi <miklos@szeredi.hu> and me identified a writeback bug: > The following strange behavior can be observed: > > 1. large file is written > 2. after 30 seconds, nr_dirty goes down by 1024 > 3. then for some time (< 30 sec) nothing happens (disk idle) > 4. then nr_dirty again goes down by 1024 > 5. repeat from 3. until whole file is written > > So basically a 4Mbyte chunk of the file is written every 30 seconds. > I'm quite sure this is not the intended behavior.

So basicly no page io is issued by __block_write_full_page(), hence pages_skipped goes up. Also the comment in generic_sync_sb_inodes(): 544 /* 545 * writeback is not making progress due to locked 546 * buffers. Skip this inode for now. 547 */ and the comment in __block_write_full_page(): 1713 /* 1714 * The page was marked dirty, but the buffers were 1715 * clean. Someone wrote them back by hand with 1716 * ll_rw_block/submit_bh. A rare case. 1717 */ do not quite agree with each other. The page writeback should be skipped for 'locked buffer', but here it is 'clean buffer'! This patch fixes this bug. Though I'm not sure why __block_write_full_page() is called only to do nothing and who actually issued the writeback for us. This is the two possible new behaviors after the patch: 1) pretty nice: wait 30s and write ALL:) 2) not so good: - during the dd: ~16M - after 30s: ~4M - after 5s: ~4M - after 5s: ~176M The next patch will fix case (2).

xfs: fix broken error handling in xfs_vm_writepage When we shut down the filesystem, it might first be detected in writeback when we are allocating a inode size transaction. This happens after we have moved all the pages into the writeback state and unlocked them. Unfortunately, if we fail to set up the transaction we then abort writeback and try to invalidate the current page. This then triggers are BUG() in block_invalidatepage() because we are trying to invalidate an unlocked page. Fixing this is a bit of a chicken and egg problem - we can't allocate the transaction until we've clustered all the pages into the IO and we know the size of it (i.e. whether the last block of the IO is beyond the current EOF or not). However, we don't want to hold pages locked for long periods of time, especially while we lock other pages to cluster them into the write. To fix this, we need to make a clear delineation in writeback where errors can only be handled by IO completion processing. That is, once we have marked a page for writeback and unlocked it, we have to report errors via IO completion because we've already started the IO. We may not have submitted any IO, but we've changed the page state to indicate that it is under IO so we must now use the IO completion path to report errors. To do this, add an error field to xfs_submit_ioend() to pass it the error that occurred during the building on the ioend chain. When this is non-zero, mark each ioend with the error and call xfs_finish_ioend() directly rather than building bios. This will immediately push the ioends through completion processing with the error that has occurred.

We may not have submitted any IO, but we've changed the page state to indicate that it is under IO so we must now use the IO completion path to report errors. To do this, add an error field to xfs_submit_ioend() to pass it the error that occurred during the building on the ioend chain. When this is non-zero, mark each ioend with the error and call xfs_finish_ioend() directly rather than building bios.

xfs: Use preallocation for inodes with extsz hints xfstest 229 exposes a problem with buffered IO, delayed allocation and extent size hints. That is when we do delayed allocation during buffered IO, we reserve space for the extent size hint alignment and allocate the physical space to align the extent, but we do not zero the regions of the extent that aren't written by the write(2) syscall. The result is that we expose stale data in unwritten regions of the extent size hints. There are two ways to fix this. The first is to detect that we are doing unaligned writes, check if there is already a mapping or data over the extent size hint range, and if not zero the page cache first before then doing the real write. This can be very expensive for large extent size hints, especially if the subsequent writes fill then entire extent size before the data is written to disk. The second, and simpler way, is simply to turn off delayed allocation when the extent size hint is set and use preallocation instead. This results in unwritten extents being laid down on disk and so only the written portions will be converted. This matches the behaviour for direct IO, and will also work for the real time device. The disadvantage of this approach is that for small extent size hints we can get file fragmentation, but in general extent size hints are fairly large (e.g. stripe width sized) so this isn't a big deal. Implement the second approach as it is simple and effective. Signed-off-by: Dave Chinner <dchinner@redhat.com> Reviewed-by: Mark Tinguely <tinguely@sgi.com> Signed-off-by: Ben Myers <bpm@sgi.com>

Tracing shows that a bigger write: xfs_file_buffered_write: size 0x1c85ae offset 0x959d count 0x1ca3f ioflags allocates the block, and then fails with ENOSPC trying to allocate the last block on the page, leading to a failed write with stale delalloc blocks on it. Because we've had an ENOSPC when trying to allocate 0x16e00, it means that we are never goinge to call ->write_end on the page and so the allocated new buffer will not get marked dirty or have the buffer_new state cleared. In other works, what the above write is supposed to end up with is this mapping for the page: +------+------+------+------+------+------+------+------+ UMA UMA UMA UMA UMA UMA UND FAIL where: U = uptodate M = mapped N = new A = allocated D = delalloc FAIL = block we ENOSPC'd on. and the key point being the buffer_new() state for the newly allocated delayed allocation block. Except it doesn't - we're not marking buffers new correctly. That buffer_new() problem goes back to the xfs_iomap removal days, where xfs_iomap() used to return a "new" status for any map with newly allocated blocks, so that __xfs_get_blocks() could call set_buffer_new() on it. We still have the "new" variable and the check for it in the set_buffer_new() logic - except we never set it now! Hence that newly allocated delalloc block doesn't have the new flag set on it, so when the write fails we cannot tell which blocks we are supposed to punch out. WHy do we need the buffer_new flag? Well, that's because we can have this case: +------+------+------+------+------+------+------+------+ UMD UMD UMD UMD UMD UMD UND FAIL where all the UMD buffers contain valid data from a previously successful write() system call. We only want to punch the UND buffer because that's the only one that we added in this write and it was only this write that failed. That implies that even the old buffer_new() logic was wrong - because it would result in all those UMD buffers on the page having set_buffer_new() called on them even though they aren't new. Hence we shoul donly be calling set_buffer_new() for delalloc buffers that were allocated (i.e. were a hole before xfs_iomap_write_delay() was called). So, fix this set_buffer_new logic according to how we need it to work for handling failed writes correctly. Also, restore the new buffer logic handling for blocks allocated via xfs_iomap_write_direct(), because it should still set the buffer_new flag appropriately for newly allocated blocks, too. SO, now we have the buffer_new() being set appropriately in __xfs_get_blocks(), we can detect the exact delalloc ranges that we allocated in a failed write, and hence can now do a walk of the buffers on a page to find them. Except, it's not that easy. When block_write_begin() fails, it unlocks and releases the page that we just had an error on, so we can't use that page to handle errors anymore. We have to get access to the page while it is still locked to walk the buffers. Hence we have to open code block_write_begin() in xfs_vm_write_begin() to be able to insert xfs_vm_write_failed() is the right place. With that, we can pass the page and write range to xfs_vm_write_failed() and walk the buffers on the page, looking for delalloc buffers that are either new or beyond EOF and punch them out. Handling buffers beyond EOF ensures we still handle the existing case that xfs_vm_write_failed() handles. Of special note is the truncate_pagecache() handling - that only should be done for pages outside EOF - pages within EOF can still contain valid, dirty data so we must not punch them out of the cache. That just leaves the xfs_vm_write_end() failure handling. The only failure case here is that we didn't copy the entire range, and generic_write_end() handles that by zeroing the region of the page that wasn't copied, we don't have to punch out blocks within the file because they are guaranteed to contain zeros. Hence we only have to handle the existing "beyond EOF" case and don't need access to the buffers on the page. Hence it remains largely unchanged. Note that xfs_getbmap() can still trip over delalloc blocks beyond EOF that are left there by speculative delayed allocation. Hence this bug fix does not solve all known issues with bmap vs delalloc, but it does fix all the the known accidental occurances of the problem.

[XFS] Fix to prevent the notorious 'NULL files' problem after a crash. The problem that has been addressed is that of synchronising updates of the file size with writes that extend a file. Without the fix the update of a file's size, as a result of a write beyond eof, is independent of when the cached data is flushed to disk. Often the file size update would be written to the filesystem log before the data is flushed to disk. When a system crashes between these two events and the filesystem log is replayed on mount the file's size will be set but since the contents never made it to disk the file is full of holes. If some of the cached data was flushed to disk then it may just be a section of the file at the end that has holes. There are existing fixes to help alleviate this problem, particularly in the case where a file has been truncated, that force cached data to be flushed to disk when the file is closed. If the system crashes while the file(s) are still open then this flushing will never occur. The fix that we have implemented is to introduce a second file size, called the in-memory file size, that represents the current file size as viewed by the user. The existing file size, called the on-disk file size, is the one that get's written to the filesystem log and we only update it when it is safe to do so. When we write to a file beyond eof we only update the in- memory file size in the write operation. Later when the I/O operation, that flushes the cached data to disk completes, an I/O completion routine will update the on-disk file size. The on-disk file size will be updated to the maximum offset of the I/O or to the value of the in-memory file size if the I/O includes eof.

xfs: fix direct IO nested transaction deadlock. The direct IO path can do a nested transaction reservation when writing past the EOF. The first transaction is the append transaction for setting the filesize at IO completion, but we can also need a transaction for allocation of blocks. If the log is low on space due to reservations and small log, the append transaction can be granted after wating for space as the only active transaction in the system. This then attempts a reservation for an allocation, which there isn't space in the log for, and the reservation sleeps. The result is that there is nothing left in the system to wake up all the processes waiting for log space to come free. The stack trace that shows this deadlock is relatively innocuous: xlog_grant_head_wait xlog_grant_head_check xfs_log_reserve xfs_trans_reserve xfs_iomap_write_direct __xfs_get_blocks xfs_get_blocks_direct do_blockdev_direct_IO __blockdev_direct_IO xfs_vm_direct_IO generic_file_direct_write xfs_file_dio_aio_writ xfs_file_aio_write do_sync_write vfs_write This was discovered on a filesystem with a log of only 10MB, and a log stripe unit of 256k whih increased the base reservations by 512k. Hence a allocation transaction requires 1.2MB of log space to be available instead of only 260k, and so greatly increased the chance that there wouldn't be enough log space available for the nested transaction to succeed. The key to reproducing it is this mkfs command: mkfs.xfs -f -d agcount=16,su=256k,sw=12 -l su=256k,size=2560b $SCRATCH_DEV The test case was a 1000 fsstress processes running with random freeze and unfreezes every few seconds.

xfs: fix direct IO nested transaction deadlock. The direct IO path can do a nested transaction reservation when writing past the EOF. The first transaction is the append transaction for setting the filesize at IO completion, but we can also need a transaction for allocation of blocks. If the log is low on space due to reservations and small log, the append transaction can be granted after wating for space as the only active transaction in the system. This then attempts a reservation for an allocation, which there isn't space in the log for, and the reservation sleeps.

xfs: punch new delalloc blocks out of failed writes inside EOF. When a partial write inside EOF fails, it can leave delayed allocation blocks lying around because they don't get punched back out. This leads to assert failures like: XFS: Assertion failed: XFS_FORCED_SHUTDOWN(ip->i_mount) || ip->i_delayed_blks == 0, file: fs/xfs/xfs_super.c, line: 847 when evicting inodes from the cache. This can be trivially triggered by xfstests 083, which takes between 5 and 15 executions on a 512 byte block size filesystem to trip over this. Debugging shows a failed write due to ENOSPC calling xfs_vm_write_failed such as: [ 5012.329024] ino 0xa0026: vwf to 0x17000, sze 0x1c85ae and no action is taken on it.

Tracing shows that a bigger write: xfs_file_buffered_write: size 0x1c85ae offset 0x959d count 0x1ca3f ioflags allocates the block, and then fails with ENOSPC trying to allocate the last block on the page, leading to a failed write with stale delalloc blocks on it. Because we've had an ENOSPC when trying to allocate 0x16e00, it means that we are never goinge to call ->write_end on the page and so the allocated new buffer will not get marked dirty or have the buffer_new state cleared. In other works, what the above write is supposed to end up with is this mapping for the page: +------+------+------+------+------+------+------+------+ UMA UMA UMA UMA UMA UMA UND FAIL where: U = uptodate M = mapped N = new A = allocated D = delalloc FAIL = block we ENOSPC'd on. and the key point being the buffer_new() state for the newly allocated delayed allocation block. Except it doesn't - we're not marking buffers new correctly. That buffer_new() problem goes back to the xfs_iomap removal days, where xfs_iomap() used to return a "new" status for any map with newly allocated blocks, so that __xfs_get_blocks() could call set_buffer_new() on it. We still have the "new" variable and the check for it in the set_buffer_new() logic - except we never set it now! Hence that newly allocated delalloc block doesn't have the new flag set on it, so when the write fails we cannot tell which blocks we are supposed to punch out. WHy do we need the buffer_new flag? Well, that's because we can have this case: +------+------+------+------+------+------+------+------+ UMD UMD UMD UMD UMD UMD UND FAIL where all the UMD buffers contain valid data from a previously successful write() system call. We only want to punch the UND buffer because that's the only one that we added in this write and it was only this write that failed. That implies that even the old buffer_new() logic was wrong - because it would result in all those UMD buffers on the page having set_buffer_new() called on them even though they aren't new. Hence we shoul donly be calling set_buffer_new() for delalloc buffers that were allocated (i.e. were a hole before xfs_iomap_write_delay() was called). So, fix this set_buffer_new logic according to how we need it to work for handling failed writes correctly. Also, restore the new buffer logic handling for blocks allocated via xfs_iomap_write_direct(), because it should still set the buffer_new flag appropriately for newly allocated blocks, too. SO, now we have the buffer_new() being set appropriately in __xfs_get_blocks(), we can detect the exact delalloc ranges that we allocated in a failed write, and hence can now do a walk of the buffers on a page to find them. Except, it's not that easy. When block_write_begin() fails, it unlocks and releases the page that we just had an error on, so we can't use that page to handle errors anymore. We have to get access to the page while it is still locked to walk the buffers. Hence we have to open code block_write_begin() in xfs_vm_write_begin() to be able to insert xfs_vm_write_failed() is the right place. With that, we can pass the page and write range to xfs_vm_write_failed() and walk the buffers on the page, looking for delalloc buffers that are either new or beyond EOF and punch them out. Handling buffers beyond EOF ensures we still handle the existing case that xfs_vm_write_failed() handles. Of special note is the truncate_pagecache() handling - that only should be done for pages outside EOF - pages within EOF can still contain valid, dirty data so we must not punch them out of the cache. That just leaves the xfs_vm_write_end() failure handling. The only failure case here is that we didn't copy the entire range, and generic_write_end() handles that by zeroing the region of the page that wasn't copied, we don't have to punch out blocks within the file because they are guaranteed to contain zeros. Hence we only have to handle the existing "beyond EOF" case and don't need access to the buffers on the page. Hence it remains largely unchanged. Note that xfs_getbmap() can still trip over delalloc blocks beyond EOF that are left there by speculative delayed allocation. Hence this bug fix does not solve all known issues with bmap vs delalloc, but it does fix all the the known accidental occurances of the problem.

Except, it's not that easy. When block_write_begin() fails, it unlocks and releases the page that we just had an error on, so we can't use that page to handle errors anymore. We have to get access to the page while it is still locked to walk the buffers. Hence we have to open code block_write_begin() in xfs_vm_write_begin() to be able to insert xfs_vm_write_failed() is the right place. With that, we can pass the page and write range to xfs_vm_write_failed() and walk the buffers on the page, looking for delalloc buffers that are either new or beyond EOF and punch them out. Handling buffers beyond EOF ensures we still handle the existing case that xfs_vm_write_failed() handles. Of special note is the truncate_pagecache() handling - that only should be done for pages outside EOF - pages within EOF can still contain valid, dirty data so we must not punch them out of the cache. That just leaves the xfs_vm_write_end() failure handling. The only failure case here is that we didn't copy the entire range, and generic_write_end() handles that by zeroing the region of the page that wasn't copied, we don't have to punch out blocks within the file because they are guaranteed to contain zeros. Hence we only have to handle the existing "beyond EOF" case and don't need access to the buffers on the page. Hence it remains largely unchanged. Note that xfs_getbmap() can still trip over delalloc blocks beyond EOF that are left there by speculative delayed allocation. Hence this bug fix does not solve all known issues with bmap vs delalloc, but it does fix all the the known accidental occurances of the problem.

xfs: punch new delalloc blocks out of failed writes inside EOF. When a partial write inside EOF fails, it can leave delayed allocation blocks lying around because they don't get punched back out. This leads to assert failures like: XFS: Assertion failed: XFS_FORCED_SHUTDOWN(ip->i_mount) || ip->i_delayed_blks == 0, file: fs/xfs/xfs_super.c, line: 847 when evicting inodes from the cache. This can be trivially triggered by xfstests 083, which takes between 5 and 15 executions on a 512 byte block size filesystem to trip over this. Debugging shows a failed write due to ENOSPC calling xfs_vm_write_failed such as: [ 5012.329024] ino 0xa0026: vwf to 0x17000, sze 0x1c85ae and no action is taken on it. This leaves behind a delayed allocation extent that has no page covering it and no data in it: [ 5015.867162] ino 0xa0026: blks: 0x83 delay blocks 0x1, size 0x2538c0 [ 5015.868293] ext 0: off 0x4a, fsb 0x50306, len 0x1 [ 5015.869095] ext 1: off 0x4b, fsb 0x7899, len 0x6b [ 5015.869900] ext 2: off 0xb6, fsb 0xffffffffe0008, len 0x1 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ [ 5015.871027] ext 3: off 0x36e, fsb 0x7a27, len 0xd [ 5015.872206] ext 4: off 0x4cf, fsb 0x7a1d, len 0xa So the delayed allocation extent is one block long at offset 0x16c00. Tracing shows that a bigger write: xfs_file_buffered_write: size 0x1c85ae offset 0x959d count 0x1ca3f ioflags allocates the block, and then fails with ENOSPC trying to allocate the last block on the page, leading to a failed write with stale delalloc blocks on it. Because we've had an ENOSPC when trying to allocate 0x16e00, it means that we are never goinge to call ->write_end on the page and so the allocated new buffer will not get marked dirty or have the buffer_new state cleared. In other works, what the above write is supposed to end up with is this mapping for the page: +------+------+------+------+------+------+------+------+ UMA UMA UMA UMA UMA UMA UND FAIL where: U = uptodate M = mapped N = new A = allocated D = delalloc FAIL = block we ENOSPC'd on. and the key point being the buffer_new() state for the newly allocated delayed allocation block. Except it doesn't - we're not marking buffers new correctly. That buffer_new() problem goes back to the xfs_iomap removal days, where xfs_iomap() used to return a "new" status for any map with newly allocated blocks, so that __xfs_get_blocks() could call set_buffer_new() on it. We still have the "new" variable and the check for it in the set_buffer_new() logic - except we never set it now! Hence that newly allocated delalloc block doesn't have the new flag set on it, so when the write fails we cannot tell which blocks we are supposed to punch out. WHy do we need the buffer_new flag? Well, that's because we can have this case: +------+------+------+------+------+------+------+------+ UMD UMD UMD UMD UMD UMD UND FAIL where all the UMD buffers contain valid data from a previously successful write() system call. We only want to punch the UND buffer because that's the only one that we added in this write and it was only this write that failed. That implies that even the old buffer_new() logic was wrong - because it would result in all those UMD buffers on the page having set_buffer_new() called on them even though they aren't new. Hence we shoul donly be calling set_buffer_new() for delalloc buffers that were allocated (i.e. were a hole before xfs_iomap_write_delay() was called). So, fix this set_buffer_new logic according to how we need it to work for handling failed writes correctly. Also, restore the new buffer logic handling for blocks allocated via xfs_iomap_write_direct(), because it should still set the buffer_new flag appropriately for newly allocated blocks, too. SO, now we have the buffer_new() being set appropriately in __xfs_get_blocks(), we can detect the exact delalloc ranges that we allocated in a failed write, and hence can now do a walk of the buffers on a page to find them.

We have to get access to the page while it is still locked to walk the buffers. Hence we have to open code block_write_begin() in xfs_vm_write_begin() to be able to insert xfs_vm_write_failed() is the right place.

This leaves behind a delayed allocation extent that has no page covering it and no data in it: [ 5015.867162] ino 0xa0026: blks: 0x83 delay blocks 0x1, size 0x2538c0 [ 5015.868293] ext 0: off 0x4a, fsb 0x50306, len 0x1 [ 5015.869095] ext 1: off 0x4b, fsb 0x7899, len 0x6b [ 5015.869900] ext 2: off 0xb6, fsb 0xffffffffe0008, len 0x1 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ [ 5015.871027] ext 3: off 0x36e, fsb 0x7a27, len 0xd [ 5015.872206] ext 4: off 0x4cf, fsb 0x7a1d, len 0xa So the delayed allocation extent is one block long at offset 0x16c00. Tracing shows that a bigger write: xfs_file_buffered_write: size 0x1c85ae offset 0x959d count 0x1ca3f ioflags allocates the block, and then fails with ENOSPC trying to allocate the last block on the page, leading to a failed write with stale delalloc blocks on it. Because we've had an ENOSPC when trying to allocate 0x16e00, it means that we are never goinge to call ->write_end on the page and so the allocated new buffer will not get marked dirty or have the buffer_new state cleared. In other works, what the above write is supposed to end up with is this mapping for the page: +------+------+------+------+------+------+------+------+ UMA UMA UMA UMA UMA UMA UND FAIL where: U = uptodate M = mapped N = new A = allocated D = delalloc FAIL = block we ENOSPC'd on. and the key point being the buffer_new() state for the newly allocated delayed allocation block. Except it doesn't - we're not marking buffers new correctly. That buffer_new() problem goes back to the xfs_iomap removal days, where xfs_iomap() used to return a "new" status for any map with newly allocated blocks, so that __xfs_get_blocks() could call set_buffer_new() on it. We still have the "new" variable and the check for it in the set_buffer_new() logic - except we never set it now! Hence that newly allocated delalloc block doesn't have the new flag set on it, so when the write fails we cannot tell which blocks we are supposed to punch out. WHy do we need the buffer_new flag? Well, that's because we can have this case: +------+------+------+------+------+------+------+------+ UMD UMD UMD UMD UMD UMD UND FAIL where all the UMD buffers contain valid data from a previously successful write() system call. We only want to punch the UND buffer because that's the only one that we added in this write and it was only this write that failed. That implies that even the old buffer_new() logic was wrong - because it would result in all those UMD buffers on the page having set_buffer_new() called on them even though they aren't new. Hence we shoul donly be calling set_buffer_new() for delalloc buffers that were allocated (i.e. were a hole before xfs_iomap_write_delay() was called). So, fix this set_buffer_new logic according to how we need it to work for handling failed writes correctly. Also, restore the new buffer logic handling for blocks allocated via xfs_iomap_write_direct(), because it should still set the buffer_new flag appropriately for newly allocated blocks, too. SO, now we have the buffer_new() being set appropriately in __xfs_get_blocks(), we can detect the exact delalloc ranges that we allocated in a failed write, and hence can now do a walk of the buffers on a page to find them. Except, it's not that easy. When block_write_begin() fails, it unlocks and releases the page that we just had an error on, so we can't use that page to handle errors anymore. We have to get access to the page while it is still locked to walk the buffers. Hence we have to open code block_write_begin() in xfs_vm_write_begin() to be able to insert xfs_vm_write_failed() is the right place. With that, we can pass the page and write range to xfs_vm_write_failed() and walk the buffers on the page, looking for delalloc buffers that are either new or beyond EOF and punch them out. Handling buffers beyond EOF ensures we still handle the existing case that xfs_vm_write_failed() handles. Of special note is the truncate_pagecache() handling - that only should be done for pages outside EOF - pages within EOF can still contain valid, dirty data so we must not punch them out of the cache. That just leaves the xfs_vm_write_end() failure handling. The only failure case here is that we didn't copy the entire range, and generic_write_end() handles that by zeroing the region of the page that wasn't copied, we don't have to punch out blocks within the file because they are guaranteed to contain zeros. Hence we only have to handle the existing "beyond EOF" case and don't need access to the buffers on the page. Hence it remains largely unchanged. Note that xfs_getbmap() can still trip over delalloc blocks beyond EOF that are left there by speculative delayed allocation. Hence this bug fix does not solve all known issues with bmap vs delalloc, but it does fix all the the known accidental occurances of the problem.

Hence we shoul donly be calling set_buffer_new() for delalloc buffers that were allocated (i.e. were a hole before xfs_iomap_write_delay() was called). So, fix this set_buffer_new logic according to how we need it to work for handling failed writes correctly. Also, restore the new buffer logic handling for blocks allocated via xfs_iomap_write_direct(), because it should still set the buffer_new flag appropriately for newly allocated blocks, too. SO, now we have the buffer_new() being set appropriately in __xfs_get_blocks(), we can detect the exact delalloc ranges that we allocated in a failed write, and hence can now do a walk of the buffers on a page to find them. Except, it's not that easy. When block_write_begin() fails, it unlocks and releases the page that we just had an error on, so we can't use that page to handle errors anymore. We have to get access to the page while it is still locked to walk the buffers. Hence we have to open code block_write_begin() in xfs_vm_write_begin() to be able to insert xfs_vm_write_failed() is the right place. With that, we can pass the page and write range to xfs_vm_write_failed() and walk the buffers on the page, looking for delalloc buffers that are either new or beyond EOF and punch them out. Handling buffers beyond EOF ensures we still handle the existing case that xfs_vm_write_failed() handles. Of special note is the truncate_pagecache() handling - that only should be done for pages outside EOF - pages within EOF can still contain valid, dirty data so we must not punch them out of the cache. That just leaves the xfs_vm_write_end() failure handling. The only failure case here is that we didn't copy the entire range, and generic_write_end() handles that by zeroing the region of the page that wasn't copied, we don't have to punch out blocks within the file because they are guaranteed to contain zeros. Hence we only have to handle the existing "beyond EOF" case and don't need access to the buffers on the page. Hence it remains largely unchanged. Note that xfs_getbmap() can still trip over delalloc blocks beyond EOF that are left there by speculative delayed allocation. Hence this bug fix does not solve all known issues with bmap vs delalloc, but it does fix all the the known accidental occurances of the problem.

xfs: pagecache usage optimization Hi. I introduced "is_partially_uptodate" aops for XFS. A page can have multiple buffers and even if a page is not uptodate, some buffers can be uptodate on pagesize != blocksize environment. This aops checks that all buffers which correspond to a part of a file that we want to read are uptodate. If so, we do not have to issue actual read IO to HDD even if a page is not uptodate because the portion we want to read are uptodate. "block_is_partially_uptodate" function is already used by ext2/3/4. With the following patch random read/write mixed workloads or random read after random write workloads can be optimized and we can get performance improvement. I did a performance test using the sysbench. #sysbench --num-threads=4 --max-requests=100000 --test=fileio --file-num=1 \ --file-block-size=8K --file-total-size=1G --file-test-mode=rndrw \ --file-fsync-freq=0 --file-rw-ratio=0.5 run -2.6.29-rc6 Test execution summary: total time: 123.8645s total number of events: 100000 total time taken by event execution: 442.4994 per-request statistics: min: 0.0000s avg: 0.0044s max: 0.3387s approx. 95 percentile: 0.0118s -2.6.29-rc6-patched Test execution summary: total time: 108.0757s total number of events: 100000 total time taken by event execution: 417.7505 per-request statistics: min: 0.0000s avg: 0.0042s max: 0.3217s approx. 95 percentile: 0.0118s arch: ia64 pagesize: 16k blocksize: 4k Signed-off-by: Hisashi Hifumi <hifumi.hisashi@oss.ntt.co.jp> Reviewed-by: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de> Reviewed-by: Felix Blyakher <felixb@sgi.com>
