* jbd: Fix forever sleeping process in do_get_write_access()Jan Kara2011-05-17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | In do_get_write_access() we wait on BH_Unshadow bit for buffer to get from shadow state. The waking code in journal_commit_transaction() has a bug because it does not issue a memory barrier after the buffer is moved from the shadow state and before wake_up_bit() is called. Thus a waitqueue check can happen before the buffer is actually moved from the shadow state and waiting process may never be woken. Fix the problem by issuing proper barrier.

* jbd: fix fsync() tid wraparound bugTed Ts'o2011-05-17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If an application program does not make any changes to the indirect blocks or extent tree, i_datasync_tid will not get updated. If there are enough commits (i.e., 2**31) such that tid_geq()'s calculations wrap, and there isn't a currently active transaction at the time of the fdatasync() call, this can end up triggering a BUG_ON in fs/jbd/commit.c: J_ASSERT(journal->j_running_transaction != NULL); It's pretty rare that this can happen, since it requires the use of fdatasync() plus *very* frequent and excessive use of fsync(). But with the right workload, it can. We fix this by replacing the use of tid_geq() with an equality test, since there's only one valid transaction id that is valid for us to start: namely, the currently running transaction (if it exists).

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This fixes a WARN backtrace in mark_buffer_dirty() that occurs during unmount when the underlying block device is removed. This bug has been seen on System Z when removing all paths from a multipath-backed ext3 mount; on System P when injecting enough PCI EEH errors to make the SCSI controller go offline; and similar warnings have been seen (and patched) with ext2/ext4. The super block update from a previous operation has marked the buffer as in error, and the flag has to be cleared before doing the update.

* / cfq: improve fsync performance for small filesCorrado Zoccolo2010-09-20
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Fsync performance for small files achieved by cfq on high-end disks is lower than what deadline can achieve, due to idling introduced between the sync write happening in process context and the journal commit. Moreover, when competing with a sequential reader, a process writing small files and fsync-ing them is starved. This patch fixes the two problems by: - marking journal commits as WRITE_SYNC, so that they get the REQ_NOIDLE flag set, - force all queues that have REQ_NOIDLE requests to be put in the noidle tree. Having the queue associated to the fsync-ing process and the one associated to journal commits in the noidle tree allows: - switching between them without idling, - fairness vs. competing idling queues, since they will be serviced only after the noidle tree expires its slice.

* remove SWRITE* I/O typesChristoph Hellwig2010-08-18
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | These flags aren't real I/O types, but tell ll_rw_block to always lock the buffer instead of giving up on a failed trylock. Instead add a new write_dirty_buffer helper that implements this semantic and use it from the existing SWRITE* callers. Note that the ll_rw_block code had a bug where it didn't promote WRITE_SYNC_PLUG properly, which this patch fixes. In the ufs code clean up the helper that used to call ll_rw_block to mirror sync_dirty_buffer, which is the function it implements for compound buffers.

* include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking ↵Tejun Heo2010-03-30
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

* jbd: Fix a race between checkpointing code and journal_get_write_access()Jan Kara2009-07-15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The following race can happen: CPU1 CPU2 checkpointing code checks the buffer, adds it to an array for writeback do_get_write_access() ... lock_buffer() unlock_buffer() flush_batch() submits the buffer for IO __jbd_journal_file_buffer() So a buffer under writeout is returned from do_get_write_access(). Since the filesystem code relies on the fact that journaled buffers cannot be written out, it does not take the buffer lock and so it can modify buffer while it is under writeout. That can lead to a filesystem corruption if we crash at the right moment. The similar problem can happen with the journal_get_create_access() path. We fix the problem by clearing the buffer dirty bit under buffer_lock even if the buffer is on BJ_None list. Actually, we clear the dirty bit regardless the list the buffer is in and warn about the fact if the buffer is already journalled.

* jbd: fix race in buffer processing in commit codeJan Kara2009-06-09
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In commit code, we scan buffers attached to a transaction. During this scan, we sometimes have to drop j_list_lock and then we recheck whether the journal buffer head didn't get freed by journal_try_to_free_buffers(). But checking for buffer_jbd(bh) isn't enough because a new journal head could get attached to our buffer head. So add a check whether the journal head remained the same and whether it's still at the same transaction and list. This is a nasty bug and can cause problems like memory corruption (use after free) or trigger various assertions in JBD code (observed).

* jbd: use WRITE_SYNC_PLUG instead of WRITE_SYNCJens Axboe2009-04-06
| | | | | | | | | | | When you are going to be submitting several sync writes, we want to give the IO scheduler a chance to merge some of them. Instead of using the implicitly unplugging WRITE_SYNC variant, use WRITE_SYNC_PLUG and rely on sync_buffer() doing the unplug when someone does a wait_on_buffer()/lock_buffer().
