* [PATCH] fdtable: Delete pointless code in dup_fd()Vadim Lobanov2006-12-10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The dup_fd() function creates a new files_struct and fdtable embedded inside that files_struct, and then possibly expands the fdtable using expand_files(). The out_release error path is invoked when expand_files() returns an error code. However, when this attempt to expand fails, the fdtable is left in its original embedded form, so it is pointless to try to free the associated fdarray and fdsets.

* [PATCH] dio: lock refcount operationsZach Brown2006-12-10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The wait_for_more_bios() function name was poorly chosen. While looking to clean it up it I noticed that the dio struct refcounting between the bio completion and dio submission paths was racey. The bio submission path was simply freeing the dio struct if atomic_dec_and_test() indicated that it dropped the final reference. The aio bio completion path was dereferencing its dio struct pointer *after dropping its reference* based on the remaining number of references. These two paths could race and result in the aio bio completion path dereferencing a freed dio, though this was not observed in the wild. This moves the refcount under the bio lock so that bio completion can drop its reference and decide to wake all in one atomic step. Once testing and waking is locked dio_await_one() can test its sleeping condition and mark itself uninterruptible under the lock. It gets simpler and wait_for_more_bios() disappears. The addition of the interrupt masking spin lock acquiry in dio_bio_submit() looks alarming. This lock acquiry existed in that path before the recent dio completion patch set. We shouldn't expect significant performance regression from returning to the behaviour that existed before the completion clean up work. This passed 4k block ext3 O_DIRECT fsx and aio-stress on an SMP machine.

* [PATCH] dio: only call aio_complete() after returning -EIOCBQUEUEDZach Brown2006-12-10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The only time it is safe to call aio_complete() is when the ->ki_retry function returns -EIOCBQUEUED to the AIO core. direct_io_worker() has historically done this by relying on its caller to translate positive return codes into -EIOCBQUEUED for the aio case. It did this by trying to keep conditionals in sync. direct_io_worker() knew when finished_one_bio() was going to call aio_complete(). It would reverse the test and wait and free the dio in the cases it thought that finished_one_bio() wasn't going to. Not surprisingly, it ended up getting it wrong. 'ret' could be a negative errno from the submission path but it failed to communicate this to finished_one_bio(). direct_io_worker() would return < 0, it's callers wouldn't raise -EIOCBQUEUED, and aio_complete() would be called. In the future finished_one_bio()'s tests wouldn't reflect this and aio_complete() would be called for a second time which can manifest as an oops. The previous cleanups have whittled the sync and async completion paths down to the point where we can collapse them and clearly reassert the invariant that we must only call aio_complete() after returning -EIOCBQUEUED. direct_io_worker() will only return -EIOCBQUEUED when it is not the last to drop the dio refcount and the aio bio completion path will only call aio_complete() when it is the last to drop the dio refcount. direct_io_worker() can ensure that it is the last to drop the reference count by waiting for bios to drain. It does this for sync ops, of course, and for partial dio writes that must fall back to buffered and for aio ops that saw errors during submission. This means that operations that end up waiting, even if they were issued as aio ops, will not call aio_complete() from dio. Instead we return the return code of the operation and let the aio core call aio_complete(). This is purposely done to fix a bug where AIO DIO file extensions would call aio_complete() before their callers have a chance to update i_size. Now that direct_io_worker() is explicitly returning -EIOCBQUEUED its callers no longer have to translate for it. XFS needs to be careful not to free resources that will be used during AIO completion if -EIOCBQUEUED is returned. We maintain the previous behaviour of trying to write fs metadata for O_SYNC aio+dio writes.

* [PATCH] dio: remove duplicate bio wait codeZach Brown2006-12-10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Now that we have a single refcount and waiting path we can reuse it in the async 'should_wait' path. It continues to rely on the fragile link between the conditional in dio_complete_aio() which decides to complete the AIO and the conditional in direct_io_worker() which decides to wait and free. By waiting before dropping the reference we stop dio_bio_end_aio() from calling dio_complete_aio() which used to wake up the waiter after seeing the reference count drop to 0. We hoist this wake up into dio_bio_end_aio() which now notices when it's left a single remaining reference that is held by the waiter.

* [PATCH] dio: formalize bio counters as a dio reference countZach Brown2006-12-10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Previously we had two confusing counts of bio progress. 'bio_count' was decremented as bios were processed and freed by the dio core. It was used to indicate final completion of the dio operation. 'bios_in_flight' reflected how many bios were between submit_bio() and bio->end_io. It was used by the sync path to decide when to wake up and finish completing bios and was ignored by the async path. This patch collapses the two notions into one notion of a dio reference count. bios hold a dio reference when they're between submit_bio and bio->end_io. Since bios_in_flight was only used in the sync path it is now equivalent to dio->refcount - 1 which accounts for direct_io_worker() holding a reference for the duration of the operation. dio_bio_complete() -> finished_one_bio() was called from the sync path after finding bios on the list that the bio->end_io function had deposited. finished_one_bio() can not drop the dio reference on behalf of these bios now because bio->end_io already has. The is_async test in finished_one_bio() meant that it never actually did anything other than drop the bio_count for sync callers. So we remove its refcount decrement, don't call it from dio_bio_complete(), and hoist its call up into the async dio_bio_complete() caller after an explicit refcount decrement. It is renamed dio_complete_aio() to reflect the remaining work it actually does.

* [PATCH] dio: call blk_run_address_space() once per opZach Brown2006-12-10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We only need to call blk_run_address_space() once after all the bios for the direct IO op have been submitted. This removes the chance of calling blk_run_address_space() after spurious wake ups as the sync path waits for bios to drain. It's also one less difference betwen the sync and async paths. In the process we remove a redundant dio_bio_submit() that its caller had already performed.

* [PATCH] dio: centralize completion in dio_complete()Zach Brown2006-12-10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | There have been a lot of bugs recently due to the way direct_io_worker() tries to decide how to finish direct IO operations. In the worst examples it has failed to call aio_complete() at all (hang) or called it too many times (oops). This set of patches cleans up the completion phase with the goal of removing the complexity that lead to these bugs. We end up with one path that calculates the result of the operation after all off the bios have completed. We decide when to generate a result of the operation using that path based on the final release of a refcount on the dio structure. I tried to progress towards the final state in steps that were relatively easy to understand. Each step should compile but I only tested the final result of having all the patches applied. I've tested these on low end PC drives with aio-stress, the direct IO tests I could manage to get running in LTP, orasim, and some home-brew functional tests. In http://lkml.org/lkml/2006/9/21/103 IBM reports success with ext2 and ext3 running DIO LTP tests. They found that XFS bug which has since been addressed in the patch series. This patch: The mechanics which decide the result of a direct IO operation were duplicated in the sync and async paths. The async path didn't check page_errors which can manifest as silently returning success when the final pointer in an operation faults and its matching file region is filled with zeros. The sync path and async path differed in whether they passed errors to the caller's dio->end_io operation. The async path was passing errors to it which trips an assertion in XFS, though it is apparently harmless. This centralizes the completion phase of dio ops in one place. AIO will now return EFAULT consistently and all paths fall back to the previously sync behaviour of passing the number of bytes 'transferred' to the dio->end_io callback, regardless of errors. dio_await_completion() doesn't have to propogate EIO from non-uptodate bios now that it's being propogated through dio_complete() via dio->io_error. This lets it return void which simplifies its sole caller.

* [PATCH] md: assorted md and raid1 one-linersNeilBrown2006-12-10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Fix few bugs that meant that: - superblocks weren't alway written at exactly the right time (this could show up if the array was not written to - writting to the array causes lots of superblock updates and so hides these errors). - restarting device recovery after a clean shutdown (version-1 metadata only) didn't work as intended (or at all). 1/ Ensure superblock is updated when a new device is added. 2/ Remove an inappropriate test on MD_RECOVERY_SYNC in md_do_sync. The body of this if takes one of two branches depending on whether MD_RECOVERY_SYNC is set, so testing it in the clause of the if is wrong. 3/ Flag superblock for updating after a resync/recovery finishes. 4/ If we find the neeed to restart a recovery in the middle (version-1 metadata only) make sure a full recovery (not just as guided by bitmaps) does get done.

* [PATCH] md: fix innocuous bug in raid6 stripe_to_pdidxNeilBrown2006-12-10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | stripe_to_pdidx finds the index of the parity disk for a given stripe. It assumes raid5 in that it uses "disks-1" to determine the number of data disks. This is incorrect for raid6 but fortunately the two usages cancel each other out. The only way that 'data_disks' affects the calculation of pd_idx in raid5_compute_sector is when it is divided into the sector number. But as that sector number is calculated by multiplying in the wrong value of 'data_disks' the division produces the right value. So it is innocuous but needs to be fixed. Also change the calculation of raid_disks in compute_blocknr to make it more obviously correct (it seems at first to always use disks-1 too).

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If a bypass-the-cache read fails, we simply try again through the cache. If it fails again it will trigger normal recovery precedures. update 1: From: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de> 1/ chunk_aligned_read and retry_aligned_read assume that data_disks == raid_disks - 1 which is not true for raid6. So when an aligned read request bypasses the cache, we can get the wrong data. 2/ The cloned bio is being used-after-free in raid5_align_endio (to test BIO_UPTODATE). 3/ We forgot to add rdev->data_offset when submitting a bio for aligned-read 4/ clone_bio calls blk_recount_segments and then we change bi_bdev, so we need to invalidate the segment counts. 5/ We don't de-reference the rdev when the read completes. This means we need to record the rdev to so it is still available in the end_io routine. Fortunately bi_next in the original bio is unused at this point so we can stuff it in there. 6/ We leak a cloned bio if the target rdev is not usable. From: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de> update 2: 1/ When aligned requests fail (read error) they need to be retried via the normal method (stripe cache). As we cannot be sure that we can process a single read in one go (we may not be able to allocate all the stripes needed) we store a bio-being-retried and a list of bioes-that-still-need-to-be-retried. When find a bio that needs to be retried, we should add it to the list, not to single-bio... 2/ We were never incrementing 'scnt' when resubmitting failed aligned requests.

However, if the queue is busy then it is sufficient to schedule the softirq with sd->interval * busy_factor. So we modify the calculation of the next time to balance by taking the interval added to last_balance again. This is only the right value if the idle/busy situation continues as is. There are two potential trouble spots: - If the queue was idle and now gets busy then we call rebalance early. However, that is not a problem because we will then use the longer interval for the next period. - If the queue was busy and becomes idle then we potentially wait too long before rebalancing. However, when the task goes idle then idle_balance is called. We add another calculation of the next balance time based on sd->interval in idle_balance so that we will rebalance soon. V2->V3: - Calculate rebalance time based on current jiffies and not based on the jiffies at the last time we load balanced. We no longer rely on staggering and therefore we can affort to do this now.

* [PATCH] sched: extract load calculation from rebalance_tickChristoph Lameter2006-12-10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | A load calculation is always done in rebalance_tick() in addition to the real load balancing activities that only take place when certain jiffie counts have been reached. Move that processing into a separate function and call it directly from scheduler_tick(). Also extract the time slice handling from scheduler_tick and put it into a separate function. Then we can clean up scheduler_tick significantly. It will no longer have any gotos.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Timer interrupts already are staggered. We do not need an additional layer of time staggering for short load balancing actions that take a reasonably small portion of the time slice. For load balancing on large sched_domains we will add a serialization later that avoids concurrent load balance operations and thus has the same effect as load staggering.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | With SMT, if the logical processor is busy, load balance happens for every 8msec(min)-16msec(max). There is no need to do this often, as this is just for fairness(to maintain uniform runqueue lengths) and default time slice anyhow is 100msec. Appended patch increases this interval to 64msec(min)-128msec(max) when the logical processor is busy.

* [PATCH] io-accounting: report in procfsAndrew Morton2006-12-10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Add a simple /proc/pid/io to show the IO accounting fields. Maybe this shouldn't be merged in mainline - the preferred reporting channel is taskstats. But given the poor state of our userspace support for taskstats, this is useful for developer-testing, at least. And it improves the changes that the procps developers will wire it up into top(1). Opinions are sought. The patch also wires up the existing IO-accounting fields. It's a bit racy on 32-bit machines: if process A reads process B's /proc/pid/io while process B is updating one of those 64-bit counters, process A could see an intermediate result.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Accounting writes is fairly simple: whenever a process flips a page from clean to dirty, we accuse it of having caused a write to underlying storage of PAGE_CACHE_SIZE bytes.

It simply counts the number of bytes passed into read() and write(). So if a process reads 1MB from an already-cached file, it is accused of having performed 1MB of I/O, which is wrong. (David Wright had some comments on the applicability of the present logical IO accounting: For billing purposes it is useless but for workload analysis it is very useful read_bytes/read_calls average read request size write_bytes/write_calls average write request size read_bytes/read_blocks ie logical/physical can indicate hit rate or thrashing write_bytes/write_blocks ie logical/physical guess since pdflush writes can be missed I often look for logical larger than physical to see filesystem cache problems. And the bytes/cpusec can help find applications that are dominating the cache and causing slow interactive response from page cache contention. I want to find the IO intensive applications and make sure they are doing efficient IO. Thus the acctcms(sysV) or csacms command would give the high IO commands). This patchset adds new accounting which tries to be more accurate. We account for three things: reads: attempt to count the number of bytes which this process really did cause to be fetched from the storage layer. Done at the submit_bio() level, so it is accurate for block-backed filesystems. I also attempt to wire up NFS and CIFS. writes: attempt to count the number of bytes which this process caused to be sent to the storage layer. This is done at page-dirtying time. The big inaccuracy here is truncate. If a process writes 1MB to a file and then deletes the file, it will in fact perform no writeout. But it will have been accounted as having caused 1MB of write. So... cancelled_writes: account the number of bytes which this process caused to not happen, by truncating pagecache. We _could_ just subtract this from the process's `write' accounting. But that means that some processes would be reported to have done negative amounts of write IO, which is silly. So we just report the raw number and punt this decision up to userspace. Now, we _could_ account for writes at the physical I/O level. But - This would require that we track memory-dirtying tasks at the per-page level (would require a new pointer in struct page). - It would mean that IO statistics for a process are usually only available long after that process has exitted. Which means that we probably cannot communicate this info via taskstats. This patch: Wire up the kernel-private data structures and the accessor functions to manipulate them.
