v5 filesystems use 512 byte inodes as a minimum, so read inodes in clusters that are effectively half the size of a v4 filesystem with 256 byte inodes. For v5 fielsystems, scale the inode cluster size with the size of the inode so that we keep a constant 32 inodes per cluster ratio for all inode IO. This only works if mkfs.xfs sets the inode alignment appropriately for larger inode clusters, so this functionality is made conditional on mkfs doing the right thing. xfs_repair needs to know about the inode alignment changes, too. Wall time: create bulkstat find+stat ls -R unlink v4 237s 161s 173s 201s 299s v5 235s 163s 205s 31s 356s patched 234s 160s 182s 29s 317s System time: create bulkstat find+stat ls -R unlink v4 2601s 2490s 1653s 1656s 2960s v5 2637s 2497s 1681s 20s 3216s patched 2613s 2451s 1658s 20s 3007s So, wall time same or down across the board, system time same or down across the board, and cache hit rates all improve except for the ls -R case which is a pure cold cache directory read workload on v5 filesystems... So, this patch removes most of the performance and CPU usage differential between v4 and v5 filesystems on traversal related workloads. Note: while this patch is currently for v5 filesystems only, there is no reason it can't be ported back to v4 filesystems. This hasn't been done here because bringing the code back to v4 requires forwards and backwards kernel compatibility testing. i.e. to deterine if older kernels(*) do the right thing with larger inode alignments but still only using 8k inode cluster sizes. None of this testing and validation on v4 filesystems has been done, so for the moment larger inode clusters is limited to v5 superblocks. (*) a current default config v4 filesystem should mount just fine on 2.6.23 (when lazy-count support was introduced), and so if we change the alignment emitted by mkfs without a feature bit then we have to make sure it works properly on all kernels since 2.6.23. And if we allow it to be changed when the lazy-count bit is not set, then it's all kernels since v2 logs were introduced that need to be tested for compatibility... Signed-off-by:

xfs_trans_ijoin() activates the inode in a transaction and also can specify which lock to free when the transaction is committed or canceled. xfs_bmap_add_attrfork call locks and adds the lock to the transaction but also manually removes the lock. Change the routine to not add the lock to the transaction and manually remove lock on completion. While here, clean up the xfs_trans_cancel flags and goto names. Signed-off-by:

Removing an inode from the namespace involves removing the directory entry and dropping the link count on the inode. Removing the directory entry can result in locking an AGF (directory blocks were freed) and removing a link count can result in placing the inode on an unlinked list which results in locking an AGI. The big problem here is that we have an ordering constraint on AGF and AGI locking - inode allocation locks the AGI, then can allocate a new extent for new inodes, locking the AGF after the AGI. Similarly, freeing the inode removes the inode from the unlinked list, requiring that we lock the AGI first, and then freeing the inode can result in an inode chunk being freed and hence freeing disk space requiring that we lock an AGF. Hence the ordering that is imposed by other parts of the code is AGI before AGF. This means we cannot remove the directory entry before we drop the inode reference count and put it on the unlinked list as this results in a lock order of AGF then AGI, and this can deadlock against inode allocation and freeing. Therefore we must drop the link counts before we remove the directory entry. This is still safe from a transactional point of view - it is not until we get to xfs_bmap_finish() that we have the possibility of multiple transactions in this operation. Hence as long as we remove the directory entry and drop the link count in the first transaction of the remove operation, there are no transactional constraints on the ordering here. Change the ordering of the operations in the xfs_remove() function to align the ordering of AGI and AGF locking to match that of the rest of the code. Signed-off-by:

At xfs_iext_add(), if extent(s) are being appended to the last page in the indirection array and the new extent(s) don't fit in the page, the number of extents(erp->er_extcount) in a new allocated entry should be the minimum value between count and XFS_LINEAR_EXTS, instead of count. For now, there is no existing test case can demonstrates a problem with the er_extcount being set incorrectly here, but it obviously like a bug. Signed-off-by:

Today, if xfs_sb_read_verify encounters a v4 superblock with junk past v4 fields which includes data in sb_crc, it will be treated as a failing checksum and a significant corruption. There are known prior bugs which leave junk at the end of the V4 superblock; we don't need to actually fail the verification in this case if other checks pan out ok. So if this is a secondary superblock, and the primary superblock doesn't indicate that this is a V5 filesystem, don't treat this as an actual checksum failure. We should probably check the garbage condition as we do in xfs_repair, and possibly warn about it or self-heal, but that's a different scope of work. Stable folks: This can go back to v3.10, which is what introduced the sb CRC checking that is tripped up by old, stale, incorrect V4 superblocks w/ unzeroed bits.

Page cache allocation doesn't always go through ->begin_write and hence we don't always get the opportunity to set the allocation context to GFP_NOFS. Failing to do this means we open up the direct relcaim stack to recurse into the filesystem and consume a significant amount of stack. On RHEL6.4 kernels we are seeing ra_submit() and generic_file_splice_read() from an nfsd context recursing into the filesystem via the inode cache shrinker and evicting inodes. This is causing truncation to be run (e.g EOF block freeing) and causing bmap btree block merges and free space btree block splits to occur. These btree manipulations are occurring with the call chain already 30 functions deep and hence there is not enough stack space to complete such operations. To avoid these specific overruns, we need to prevent the page cache allocation from recursing via direct reclaim. We can do that because the allocation functions take the allocation context from that which is stored in the mapping for the inode. We don't set that right now, so the default is GFP_HIGHUSER_MOVABLE, which is effectively a GFP_KERNEL context. We need it to be the equivalent of GFP_NOFS, so when we initialise an inode, set the mapping gfp mask appropriately. This makes the use of AOP_FLAG_NOFS redundant from other parts of the XFS IO path, so get rid of it. Signed-off-by:

The directory block format verifier fails to check that the leaf entry count is in a valid range, and so if it is corrupted then it can lead to derefencing a pointer outside the block buffer. While we can't exactly validate the count without first walking the directory block, we can ensure the count lands in the valid area within the directory block and hence avoid out-of-block references.

Conversion from on-disk structures to in-core header structures currently relies on magic number checks. If the magic number is wrong, but one of the supported values, we do the wrong thing with the encode/decode operation. Split these functions so that there are discrete operations for the specific directory format we are handling. In doing this, move all the header encode/decode functions to xfs_da_format.c as they are directly manipulating the on-disk format. It should be noted that all the growth in binary size is from xfs_da_format.c - the rest of the code actaully shrinks. text data bss dec hex filename 794490 96802 1096 892388 d9de4 fs/xfs/xfs.o.orig 792986 96802 1096 890884 d9804 fs/xfs/xfs.o.p1 792350 96802 1096 890248 d9588 fs/xfs/xfs.o.p2 789293 96802 1096 887191 d8997 fs/xfs/xfs.o.p3 789005 96802 1096 886903 d8997 fs/xfs/xfs.o.p4 789061 96802 1096 886959 d88af fs/xfs/xfs.o.p5 789733 96802 1096 887631 d8b4f fs/xfs/xfs.o.p6 791421 96802 1096 889319 d91e7 fs/xfs/xfs.o.p7 Signed-off-by:

The remaining non-vectorised code for the directory structure is the node format blocks. This is shared with the attribute tree, and so is slightly more complex to vectorise. Introduce a "non-directory" directory ops structure that is attached to all non-directory inodes so that attribute operations can be vectorised for all inodes. Once we do this, we can vectorise all the da btree operations.

Lots of the dir code now goes through switches to determine what is the correct on-disk format to parse. It generally involves a "xfs_sbversion_hasfoo" check, deferencing the superblock version and feature fields and hence touching several cache lines per operation in the process. Some operations do multiple checks because they nest conditional operations and they don't pass the information in a direct fashion between each other. Hence, add an ops vector to the xfs_inode structure that is configured when the inode is initialised to point to all the correct decode and encoding operations. This will significantly reduce the branchiness and cacheline footprint of the directory object decoding and encoding. This is the first patch in a series of conversion patches. It will introduce the ops structure, the setup of it and add the first operation to the vector. Subsequent patches will convert directory ops one at a time to keep the changes simple and obvious. Just this patch shows the benefit of such an approach on code size. Just converting the two shortform dir operations as this patch does decreases the built binary size by ~1500 bytes: $ size fs/xfs/xfs.o.orig fs/xfs/xfs.o.p1 text data bss dec hex filename 794490 96802 1096 892388 d9de4 fs/xfs/xfs.o.orig 792986 96802 1096 890884 d9804 fs/xfs/xfs.o.p1 $ That's a significant decrease in the instruction cache footprint of the directory code for such a simple change, and indicates that this approach is definitely worth pursuing further.

All of the buffer operations structures are needed to be exported for xfs_db, so move them all to a common location rather than spreading them all over the place.

Hence we need to create a new header file that we centralise these related definitions. Start by moving the bffer operations structures, and then also move all the other definitions that have crept into xfs_log_format.h and xfs_format.h as there was no other shared header file to put them in.

When xfs_growfs_data_private() is updating backup superblocks, it bails out on the first error encountered, whether reading or writing: * If we get an error writing out the alternate superblocks, * just issue a warning and continue. The real work is * already done and committed. This can cause a problem later during repair, because repair looks at all superblocks, and picks the most prevalent one as correct. If we bail out early in the backup superblock loop, we can end up with more "bad" matching superblocks than good, and a post-growfs repair may revert the filesystem to the old geometry. With the combination of superblock verifiers and old bugs, we're more likely to encounter read errors due to verification. And perhaps even worse, we don't even properly write any of the newly-added superblocks in the new AGs. Even with this change, growfs will still say: xfs_growfs: XFS_IOC_FSGROWFSDATA xfsctl failed: Structure needs cleaning data blocks changed from 319815680 to 335216640 which might be confusing to the user, but it at least communicates that something has gone wrong, and dmesg will probably highlight the need for an xfs_repair. And this is still best-effort; if verifiers fail on more than half the backup supers, they may still "win" - but that's probably best left to repair to more gracefully handle by doing its own strict verification as part of the backup super "voting."

The short story of the hang on the RHEL6 kernel is this: - the tail of the log is pinned by an inode - the inode has been pushed by the xfsaild - the inode has been flushed to it's backing buffer and is currently flush locked and hence waiting for backing buffer IO to complete and remove it from the AIL - the backing buffer is marked for write - it is on the delayed write queue - the inode buffer has been modified directly and logged recently due to unlinked inode list modification - the backing buffer is pinned in memory as it is in the active CIL context. - the xfsbufd won't start buffer writeback because it is pinned - xfssyncd won't force the log because it sees the log as needing to be covered and hence wants to issue a dummy transaction to move the log covering state machine along. Hence there is no trigger to force the CIL to the log and hence unpin the inode buffer and therefore complete the inode IO, remove it from the AIL and hence move the tail of the log along, allowing transactions to start again. Mainline kernels also have the same deadlock, though the signature is slightly different - the inode buffer never reaches the delayed write lists because xfs_buf_item_push() sees that it is pinned and hence never adds it to the delayed write list that the xfsaild flushes. There are two possible solutions here. The first is to simply force the log before trying to cover the log and so ensure that the CIL is emptied before we try to reserve space for the dummy transaction in the xfs_log_worker(). While this might work most of the time, it is still racy and is no guarantee that we don't get stuck in xfs_trans_reserve waiting for log space to come free. Hence it's not the best way to solve the problem. The second solution is to modify xfs_log_need_covered() to be aware of the CIL. We only should be attempting to cover the log if there is no current activity in the log - covering the log is the process of ensuring that the head and tail in the log on disk are identical (i.e. the log is clean and at idle). Hence, by definition, if there are items in the CIL then the log is not at idle and so we don't need to attempt to cover it. When we don't need to cover the log because it is active or idle, we issue a log force from xfs_log_worker() - if the log is idle, then this does nothing. However, if the log is active due to there being items in the CIL, it will force the items in the CIL to the log and unpin them. In the case of the above deadlock scenario, instead of xfs_log_worker() getting stuck in xfs_trans_reserve() attempting to cover the log, it will instead force the log, thereby unpinning the inode buffer, allowing IO to be issued and complete and hence removing the inode that was pinning the tail of the log from the AIL. At that point, everything will start moving along again. i.e. the xfs_log_worker turns back into a watchdog that can alleviate deadlocks based around pinned items that prevent the tail of the log from being moved...
