      xfs: page type check in writeback only checks last buffer · 6ffc4db5
      Dave Chinner authored
      xfs_is_delayed_page() checks to see if a page has buffers matching
      the given IO type passed in. It does so by walking the buffer heads
      on the page and checking if the state flags match the IO type.
      
      However, the "acceptable" variable that is calculated is overwritten
      every time a new buffer is checked. Hence if the first buffer on the
      page is of the right type, this state is lost if the second buffer
      is not of the correct type. This means that xfs_aops_discard_page()
      may not discard delalloc regions when it is supposed to, and
      xfs_convert_page() may not cluster IO as efficiently as possible.
      
      This problem only occurs on filesystems with a block size smaller
      than page size.
      
      Also, rename xfs_is_delayed_page() to xfs_check_page_type() to
      better describe what it is doing - it is not delalloc specific
      anymore.
      
      The problem was first noticed by Peter Watkins.

      xfs: Do background CIL flushes via a workqueue · 4c2d542f
      Dave Chinner authored
      Doing background CIL flushes adds significant latency to whatever
      async transaction that triggers it. To avoid blocking async
      transactions on things like waiting for log buffer IO to complete,
      move the CIL push off into a workqueue.  By moving the push work
      into a workqueue, we remove all the latency that the commit adds
      from the foreground transaction commit path. This also means that
      single threaded workloads won't do the CIL push procssing, leaving
      them more CPU to do more async transactions.
      
      To do this, we need to keep track of the sequence number we have
      pushed work for. This avoids having many transaction commits
      attempting to schedule work for the same sequence, and ensures that
      we only ever have one push (background or forced) in progress at a
      time. It also means that we don't need to take the CIL lock in write
      mode to check for potential background push races, which reduces
      lock contention.
      
      To avoid potential issues with "smart" IO schedulers, don't use the
      workqueue for log force triggered flushes. Instead, do them directly
      so that the log IO is done directly by the process issuing the log
      force and so doesn't get stuck on IO elevator queue idling
      incorrectly delaying the log IO from the workqueue.

      xfs: on-stack delayed write buffer lists · 43ff2122
      Christoph Hellwig authored
      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 ]

      xfs: do not add buffers to the delwri queue until pushed · 960c60af
      Christoph Hellwig authored
      Instead of adding buffers to the delwri list as soon as they are logged,
      even if they can't be written until commited because they are pinned
      defer adding them to the delwri list until xfsaild pushes them.  This
      makes the code more similar to other log items and prepares for writing
      buffers directly from xfsaild.
      
      The complication here is that we need to fail buffers that were added
      but not logged yet in xfs_buf_item_unpin, borrowing code from
      xfs_bioerror.

      xfs: implement freezing by emptying the AIL · 211e4d43
      Christoph Hellwig authored
      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.
      
      [ Dave Chinner:
      	- Cleaned up commit message.
      	- Added inode reclaim passes back into freeze.
      	- Cleaned up wakeup mechanism to avoid the use of a new
      	  sleep counter variable. ]

      xfs: allow assigning the tail lsn with the AIL lock held · 1c304625
      Christoph Hellwig authored
      Provide a variant of xlog_assign_tail_lsn that has the AIL lock already
      held.  By doing so we do an additional atomic_read + atomic_set under
      the lock, which comes down to two instructions.
      
      Switch xfs_trans_ail_update_bulk and xfs_trans_ail_delete_bulk to the
      new version to reduce the number of lock roundtrips, and prepare for
      a new addition that would require a third lock roundtrip in
      xfs_trans_ail_delete_bulk.  This addition is also the reason for
      slightly rearranging the conditionals and relying on xfs_log_space_wake
      for checking that the filesystem has been shut down internally.

      xfs: remove log item from AIL in xfs_iflush after a shutdown · 32ce90a4

      xfs: punch all delalloc blocks beyond EOF on write failure. · 01c84d2d
      Dave Chinner authored
      I've been seeing regular ASSERT failures in xfstests when running
      fsstress based tests over the past month. xfs_getbmap() has been
      failing this test:
      
      XFS: Assertion failed: ((iflags & BMV_IF_DELALLOC) != 0) ||
      (map[i].br_startblock != DELAYSTARTBLOCK), file: fs/xfs/xfs_bmap.c,
      line: 5650
      
      where it is encountering a delayed allocation extent after writing
      all the dirty data to disk and then walking the extent map
      atomically by holding the XFS_IOLOCK_SHARED to prevent new delayed
      allocation extents from being created.
      
      Test 083 on a 512 byte block size filesystem was used to reproduce
      the problem, because it only had a 5s run timeand would usually fail
      every 3-4 runs. This test is exercising ENOSPC behaviour by running
      fsstress on a nearly full filesystem. The following trace extract
      shows the final few events on the inode that tripped the assert:

      And succeeding on retry after flushing dirty inodes.

      And failing the retry, giving a real ENOSPC error.
      
       xfs_ilock:             flags ILOCK_EXCL caller xfs_vm_write_failed
                                                      ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
      The smoking gun - the write being failed and cleaning up delalloc
      blocks beyond EOF allocated by the failed write.
      
       xfs_getattr:
       xfs_ilock:             flags IOLOCK_SHARED caller xfs_getbmap
       xfs_ilock:             flags ILOCK_SHARED caller xfs_ilock_map_shared
      
      And that's where we died almost immediately afterwards.
      xfs_bmapi_read() found delalloc extent beyond current file in memory
      file size. Some debug I added to xfs_getbmap() showed the state just
      before the assert failure:
      
       ino 0x80e48: off 0xc00, fsb 0xffffffffffffffff, len 0x1, size 0x180000
       start_fsb 0x106, end_fsb 0x638
       ino flags 0x2 nex 0xd bmvcnt 0x555, len 0x3c58a6f23c0bf1, start 0xc00
       ext 0: off 0x1fc, fsb 0x24782, len 0x254
       ext 1: off 0x450, fsb 0x40851, len 0x30
       ext 2: off 0x480, fsb 0xd99, len 0x1b8
       ext 3: off 0x92f, fsb 0x4099a, len 0x3b
       ext 4: off 0x96d, fsb 0x41844, len 0x98
       ext 5: off 0xbf1, fsb 0x408ab, len 0xf
      
      which shows that we found a single delalloc block beyond EOF (first
      line of output) when we were returning the map for a length
      somewhere around 10^16 bytes long (second line), and the on-disk
      extents showed they didn't go past EOF (last lines).
      
      Further debug added to xfs_vm_write_failed() showed this happened
      when punching out delalloc blocks beyond the end of the file after
      the failed write:
      
      [  132.606693] ino 0x80e48: vwf to 0x181000, sze 0x180000
      [  132.609573] start_fsb 0xc01, end_fsb 0xc08
      
      It punched the range 0xc01 -> 0xc08, but the range we really need to
      punch is 0xc00 -> 0xc07 (8 blocks from 0xc00) as this testing was
      run on a 512 byte block size filesystem (8 blocks per page).
      the punch from is 0xc00. So end_fsb is correct, but start_fsb is
      wrong as we punch from start_fsb for (end_fsb - start_fsb) blocks.
      Hence we are not punching the delalloc block beyond EOF in the case.
      
      The fix is simple - it's a silly off-by-one mistake in calculating
      the range. It's especially silly because the macro used to calculate
      the start_fsb already takes into account the case where the inode
      size is an exact multiple of the filesystem block size...

      initial block mapping, and only retake it exclusively when we actually
      have to perform extent allocations.  We were already dropping the ilock
      for the transaction allocation, so this doesn't introduce new race windows.
      
      Based on an earlier patch from Dave Chinner.

      xfs: push the ilock into xfs_zero_eof · 193aec10
      Christoph Hellwig authored
      Instead of calling xfs_zero_eof with the ilock held only take it internally
      for the minimall required critical section around xfs_bmapi_read.  This
      also requires changing the calling convention for xfs_zero_last_block
      slightly.  The actual zeroing operation is still serialized by the iolock,
      which must be taken exclusively over the call to xfs_zero_eof.
      
      We could in fact use a shared lock for the xfs_bmapi_read calls as long as
      the extent list has been read in, but given that we already hold the iolock
      exclusively there is little reason to micro optimize this further.

      xfs: reduce ilock hold times in xfs_setattr_size · f38996f5
      Christoph Hellwig authored
      We do not need the ilock for most checks done in the beginning of
      xfs_setattr_size.  Replace the long critical section before starting the
      transaction with a smaller one around xfs_zero_eof and an optional one
      inside xfs_qm_dqattach that isn't entered unless using quotas.  While
      this isn't a big optimization for xfs_setattr_size itself it will allow
      pushing the ilock into xfs_zero_eof itself later.

      xfs: Ensure inode reclaim can run during quotacheck · 8a00ebe4
      Dave Chinner authored
      Because the mount process can run a quotacheck and consume lots of
      inodes, we need to be able to run periodic inode reclaim during the
      mount process. This will prevent running the system out of memory
      during quota checks.
      
      This essentially reverts 2bcf6e97, but that is safe to do now that
      the quota sync code that was causing problems during long quotacheck
      executions is now gone.
      
      The reclaim work is currently protected from running during the
      unmount process by a check against MS_ACTIVE. Unfortunately, this
      also means that the reclaim work cannot run during mount.  The
      unmount process should stop the reclaim cleanly before freeing
      anything that the reclaim work depends on, so there is no need to
      have this guard in place.
      
      Also, the inode reclaim work is demand driven, so there is no need
      to start it immediately during mount. It will be started the moment
      an inode is queued for reclaim, so qutoacheck will trigger it just
      fine.

      Add abort flag and use it to terminate processing when an exchange
      is timed out or is reset. The abort flag is used in place of the
      transport_generic_free_cmd function call in the reset and timeout
      cases, because calling that function in that context would free
      memory that was in use. The aborted flag allows the lifetime to
      be managed in a more normal way, while truncating the processing.
      
      This change eliminates a source of memory corruption which
      manifested in a variety of ugly ways.

      Make the "word-at-a-time" helper functions more commonly usable · f68e556e
      Linus Torvalds authored
      I have a new optimized x86 "strncpy_from_user()" that will use these
      same helper functions for all the same reasons the name lookup code uses
      them.  This is preparation for that.
      
      This moves them into an architecture-specific header file.  It's
      architecture-specific for two reasons:
      
       - some of the functions are likely to want architecture-specific
         implementations.  Even if the current code happens to be "generic" in
         the sense that it should work on any little-endian machine, it's
         likely that the "multiply by a big constant and shift" implementation
         is less than optimal for an architecture that has a guaranteed fast
         bit count instruction, for example.
      
       - I expect that if architectures like sparc want to start playing
         around with this, we'll need to abstract out a few more details (in
         particular the actual unaligned accesses).  So we're likely to have
         more architecture-specific stuff if non-x86 architectures start using
         this.
      
         (and if it turns out that non-x86 architectures don't start using
         this, then having it in an architecture-specific header is still the
         right thing to do, of course)

      11) do_tcp_sendpage() unloads the send queue way too fast, because it
          invokes tcp_push() when it shouldn't.  Let the natural sequence
          generated by the splice paths, and the assosciated MSG_MORE
          settings, guide the tcp_push() calls.
      
          Otherwise what goes out of TCP is spaghetti and doesn't batch
          effectively into GSO/TSO clusters.
      
          From Eric Dumazet.
      
      12) Once we put a SKB into either the netlink receiver's queue or a
          socket error queue, it can be consumed and freed up, therefore we
          cannot touch it after queueing it like that.
      
          Fixes from Eric Dumazet.
      
      13) PPP has this annoying behavior in that for every transmit call it
          immediately stops the TX queue, then calls down into the next layer
          to transmit the PPP frame.
      
          But if that next layer can take it immediately, it just un-stops the
          TX queue right before returning from the transmit method.
      
          Besides being useless work, it makes several facilities unusable, in
          particular things like the equalizers.  Well behaved devices should
          only stop the TX queue when they really are full, and in PPP's case
          when it gets backlogged to the downstream device.
      
          David Woodhouse therefore fixed PPP to not stop the TX queue until
          it's downstream can't take data any more.
      
      14) IFF_UNICAST_FLT got accidently lost in some recent stmmac driver
          changes, re-add.  From Marc Kleine-Budde.
      
      15) Fix link flaps in ixgbe, from Eric W. Multanen.
      
      16) Descriptor writeback fixes in e1000e from Matthew Vick.
