* ocfs2: increase the default size of local alloc windowsMark Fasheh2010-05-05
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | I have observed that the current size of 8M gives us pretty poor fragmentation on multi-threaded workloads which do lots of writes. Generally, I can increase the size of local alloc windows and observe a marked decrease in fragmentation, even up and beyond window sizes of 512 megabytes. This makes sense for a couple reasons - larger local alloc means more room for reservation windows. On multi-node workloads the larger local alloc helps as well because we don't have to do window slides as often. Also, I removed the OCFS2_DEFAULT_LOCAL_ALLOC_SIZE constant as it is no longer used and the comment above it was out of date. To test fragmentation, I used a workload which launched 4 threads that did 4k writes into a series of about 140 alternating files. With resv_level=2, and a 4k/4k file system I observed the following average fragmentation for various localalloc= parameters: localalloc= avg. fragmentation 8 48 32 16 64 10 120 7 On larger cluster sizes, the difference is more dramatic. The new default size top out at 256M, which we'll only get for cluster sizes of 32K and above. Signed-off-by: Mark Fasheh <mfasheh@suse.com> Signed-off-by: Joel Becker <joel.becker@oracle.com>
* ocfs2: clean up localalloc mount option size parsingMark Fasheh2010-05-05
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch pulls the local alloc sizing code into localalloc.c and provides a callout to it from ocfs2_fill_super(). Behavior is essentially unchanged except that I correctly calculate the maximum local alloc size. The old code in ocfs2_parse_options() calculated the max size as: ocfs2_local_alloc_size(sb) * 8 which is correct, in bits. Unfortunately though the option passed in is in megabytes. Ultimately, this bug made no real difference - the shrink code would catch a too-large size and bring it down to something reasonable. Still, it's less than efficient as-is.

* ocfs2: remove ocfs2_local_alloc_in_range()Mark Fasheh2010-05-05

* ocfs2: allocation reservationsMark Fasheh2010-05-05
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch improves Ocfs2 allocation policy by allowing an inode to reserve a portion of the local alloc bitmap for itself. The reserved portion (allocation window) is advisory in that other allocation windows might steal it if the local alloc bitmap becomes full. Otherwise, the reservations are honored and guaranteed to be free. When the local alloc window is moved to a different portion of the bitmap, existing reservations are discarded. Reservation windows are represented internally by a red-black tree. Within that tree, each node represents the reservation window of one inode. An LRU of active reservations is also maintained. When new data is written, we allocate it from the inodes window. When all bits in a window are exhausted, we allocate a new one as close to the previous one as possible. Should we not find free space, an existing reservation is pulled off the LRU and cannibalized. Signed-off-by: Mark Fasheh <mfasheh@suse.com>
* ocfs2: Make ocfs2_journal_dirty() void.Joel Becker2010-05-05
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | jbd[2]_journal_dirty_metadata() only returns 0. It's been returning 0 since before the kernel moved to git. There is no point in checking this error. ocfs2_journal_dirty() has been faithfully returning the status since the beginning. All over ocfs2, we have blocks of code checking this can't fail status. In the past few years, we've tried to avoid adding these checks, because they are pointless. But anyone who looks at our code assumes they are needed. Finally, ocfs2_journal_dirty() is made a void function. All error checking is removed from other files. We'll BUG_ON() the status of jbd2_journal_dirty_metadata() just in case they change it someday. They won't. Signed-off-by: Joel Becker <joel.becker@oracle.com>
* ocfs2: Clear undo bits when local alloc is freedMark Fasheh2010-03-23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | When the local alloc file changes windows, unused bits are freed back to the global bitmap. By defnition, those bits can not be in use by any file. Also, the local alloc will never have been able to allocate those bits if they were part of a previous truncate. Therefore it makes sense that we should clear unused local alloc bits in the undo buffer so that they can be used immediatly.

* ocfs2: Always try for maximum bits with new local alloc windowsMark Fasheh2010-03-18
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | What we were doing before was to ask for the current window size as the maximum allocation. This had the effect of limiting the amount of allocation we could get for the local alloc during times when the window size was shrunk due to fragmentation. In some cases, that could actually *increase* fragmentation by artificially limiting the number of bits we can accept. So while we still want to ask for a minimum number of bits equal to window size, there is no reason why we should limit the number of bits the local alloc should accept. Hence always allow the maximum number of local alloc bits. Signed-off-by: Mark Fasheh <mfasheh@suse.com> Signed-off-by: Joel Becker <joel.becker@oracle.com>

* ocfs2: Pass struct ocfs2_caching_info to the journal functions.Joel Becker2009-09-04
| | | | | | | | | | | | | The next step in divorcing metadata I/O management from struct inode is to pass struct ocfs2_caching_info to the journal functions. Thus the journal locks a metadata cache with the cache io_lock function. It also can compare ci_last_trans and ci_created_trans directly. This is a large patch because of all the places we change ocfs2_journal_access..(handle, inode, ...) to ocfs2_journal_access..(handle, INODE_CACHE(inode), ...).

* ocfs2: Use metadata-specific ocfs2_journal_access_*() functions.Joel Becker2009-01-05
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The per-metadata-type ocfs2_journal_access_*() functions hook up jbd2 commit triggers and allow us to compute metadata ecc right before the buffers are written out. This commit provides ecc for inodes, extent blocks, group descriptors, and quota blocks. It is not safe to use extened attributes and metaecc at the same time yet. The ocfs2_extent_tree and ocfs2_path abstractions in alloc.c both hide the type of block at their root. Before, it didn't matter, but now the root block must use the appropriate ocfs2_journal_access_*() function. To keep this abstract, the structures now have a pointer to the matching journal_access function and a wrapper call to call it. A few places use naked ocfs2_write_block() calls instead of adding the blocks to the journal. We make sure to calculate their checksum and ecc before the write. Since we pass around the journal_access functions. Let's typedef them in ocfs2.h. Signed-off-by: Joel Becker <joel.becker@oracle.com> Signed-off-by: Mark Fasheh <mfasheh@suse.com>
* ocfs2: Wrap inode block reads in a dedicated function.Joel Becker2009-01-05
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The ocfs2 code currently reads inodes off disk with a simple ocfs2_read_block() call. Each place that does this has a different set of sanity checks it performs. Some check only the signature. A couple validate the block number (the block read vs di->i_blkno). A couple others check for VALID_FL. Only one place validates i_fs_generation. A couple check nothing. Even when an error is found, they don't all do the same thing. We wrap inode reading into ocfs2_read_inode_block(). This will validate all the above fields, going readonly if they are invalid (they never should be). ocfs2_read_inode_block_full() is provided for the places that want to pass read_block flags. Every caller is passing a struct inode with a valid ip_blkno, so we don't need a separate blkno argument either. We will remove the validation checks from the rest of the code in a later commit, as they are no longer necessary.

* ocfs2: Limit inode allocation to 32bits.Joel Becker2008-10-13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | ocfs2 inode numbers are block numbers. For any filesystem with less than 2^32 blocks, this is not a problem. However, when ocfs2 starts using JDB2, it will be able to support filesystems with more than 2^32 blocks. This would result in inode numbers higher than 2^32. The problem is that stat(2) can't handle those numbers on 32bit machines. The simple solution is to have ocfs2 allocate all inodes below that boundary. The suballoc code is changed to honor an optional block limit. Only the inode suballocator sets that limit - all other allocations stay unlimited. The biggest trick is to grow the inode suballocator beneath that limit. There's no point in allocating block groups that are above the limit, then rejecting their elements later on. We want to prevent the inode allocator from ever having block groups above the limit. This involves a little gyration with the local alloc code. If the local alloc window is above the limit, it signals the caller to try the global bitmap but does not disable the local alloc file (which can be used for other allocations).

* ocfs2: track local alloc state via debugfsMark Fasheh2008-10-13
| | | | | | | | | | A per-mount debugfs file, "local_alloc" is created which when read will expose live state of the nodes local alloc file. Performance impact is minimal, only a bit of memory overhead per mount point. Still, the code is hidden behind CONFIG_OCFS2_FS_STATS. This feature will help us debug local alloc performance problems on a live system. Signed-off-by: Mark Fasheh <mfasheh@suse.com>
* ocfs2: throttle back local alloc when low on disk spaceMark Fasheh2008-10-13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Ocfs2's local allocator disables itself for the duration of a mount point when it has trouble allocating a large enough area from the primary bitmap. That can cause performance problems, especially for disks which were only temporarily full or fragmented. This patch allows for the allocator to shrink it's window first, before being disabled. Later, it can also be re-enabled so that any performance drop is minimized. To do this, we allow the value of osb->local_alloc_bits to be shrunk when needed. The default value is recorded in a mostly read-only variable so that we can re-initialize when required. Locking had to be updated so that we could protect changes to local_alloc_bits. Mostly this involves protecting various local alloc values with the osb spinlock. A new state is also added, OCFS2_LA_THROTTLED, which is used when the local allocator is has shrunk, but is not disabled. If the available space dips below 1 megabyte, the local alloc file is disabled. In either case, local alloc is re-enabled 30 seconds after the event, or when an appropriate amount of bits is seen in the primary bitmap. Signed-off-by: Mark Fasheh <mfasheh@suse.com>

* ocfs2: Allow smaller allocations during large writesMark Fasheh2007-09-20
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The ocfs2 write code loops through a page much like the block code, except that ocfs2 allocation units can be any size, including larger than page size. Typically it's equal to or larger than page size - most kernels run 4k pages, the minimum ocfs2 allocation (cluster) size. Some changes introduced during 2.6.23 changed the way writes to pages are handled, and inadvertantly broke support for > 4k page size. Instead of just writing one cluster at a time, we now handle the whole page in one pass. This means that multiple (small) seperate allocations might happen in the same pass. The allocation code howver typically optimizes by getting the maximum which was reserved. This triggered a BUG_ON in the extend code where it'd ask for a single bit (for one part of a > 4k page) and get back more than it asked for. Fix this by providing a variant of the high level allocation function which allows the caller to specify a maximum. The traditional function remains and just calls the new one with a maximum determined from the initial reservation. Signed-off-by: Mark Fasheh <mark.fasheh@oracle.com>
