* xfs: create xfs_bmap_util.[ch]Dave Chinner2013-08-12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | There is a bunch of code in xfs_bmap.c that is kernel specific and not shared with userspace. To minimise the difference between the kernel and userspace code, shift this unshared code to xfs_bmap_util.c, and the declarations to xfs_bmap_util.h. The biggest issue here is xfs_bmap_finish() - userspace has it's own definition of this function, and so we need to move it out of xfs_bmap.[ch]. This means several other files need to include xfs_bmap_util.h as well. It also introduces and interesting dance for the stack switching code in xfs_bmapi_allocate(). The stack switching/workqueue code is actually moved to xfs_bmap_util.c, so that userspace can simply use a #define in a header file to connect the dots without needing to know about the stack switch code at all.

* xfs: move inode fork definitions to a new header fileDave Chinner2013-08-12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The inode fork definitions are a combination of on-disk format definition and in-memory tracking and manipulation. They are both shared with userspace, so move them all into their own file so sharing is easy to do and track. This removes all inode fork related information from xfs_inode.h.

* xfs: di_flushiter considered harmfulDave Chinner2013-07-24
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When we made all inode updates transactional, we no longer needed the log recovery detection for inodes being newer on disk than the transaction being replayed - it was redundant as replay of the log would always result in the latest version of the inode would be on disk. It was redundant, but left in place because it wasn't considered to be a problem. However, with the new "don't read inodes on create" optimisation, flushiter has come back to bite us. Essentially, the optimisation made always initialises flushiter to zero in the create transaction, and so if we then crash and run recovery and the inode already on disk has a non-zero flushiter it will skip recovery of that inode. As a result, log recovery does the wrong thing and we end up with a corrupt filesystem. Because we have to support old kernel to new kernel upgrades, we can't just get rid of the flushiter support in log recovery as we might be upgrading from a kernel that doesn't have fully transactional inode updates. Unfortunately, for v4 superblocks there is no way to guarantee that log recovery knows about this fact. We cannot add a new inode format flag to say it's a "special inode create" because it won't be understood by older kernels and so recovery could do the wrong thing on downgrade. We cannot specially detect the combination of zero mode/non-zero flushiter on disk to non-zero mode, zero flushiter in the log item during recovery because wrapping of the flushiter can result in false detection. Hence that makes this "don't use flushiter" optimisation limited to a disk format that guarantees that we don't need it. And that means the only fix here is to limit the "no read IO on create" optimisation to version 5 superblocks....

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | XFS_BROOT_SIZE_ADJ is an undocumented macro which accounts for the difference in size between the on-disk and in-core btree root. It's much clearer to just use the newly-added XFS_BMAP_BMDR_SPACE macro which gives us the on-disk size directly.

* xfs: xfs_ifree doesn't need to modify the inode bufferDave Chinner2013-06-27
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Long ago, bulkstat used to read inodes directly from the backing buffer for speed. This had the unfortunate problem of being cache incoherent with unlinks, and so xfs_ifree() had to mark the inode as free directly in the backing buffer. bulkstat was changed some time ago to use inode cache coherent lookups, and so will never see unlinked inodes in it's lookups. Hence xfs_ifree() does not need to touch the inode backing buffer anymore.

* xfs: don't do IO when creating an new inodeDave Chinner2013-06-27
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When we are allocating a new inode, we read the inode cluster off disk to increment the generation number. We are already using a random generation number for newly allocated inodes, so if we are not using the ikeep mode, we can just generate a new generation number when we initialise the newly allocated inode. This avoids the need for reading the inode buffer during inode creation. This will speed up allocation of inodes in cold, partially allocated clusters as they will no longer need to be read from disk during allocation. It will also reduce the CPU overhead of inode allocation by not having the process the buffer read, even on cache hits.

* xfs: inode unlinked list needs to recalculate the inode CRCDave Chinner2013-06-05
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The inode unlinked list manipulations operate directly on the inode buffer, and so bypass the inode CRC calculation mechanisms. Hence an inode on the unlinked list has an invalid CRC. Fix this by recalculating the CRC whenever we modify an unlinked list pointer in an inode, ncluding during log recovery. This is trivial to do and results in unlinked list operations always leaving a consistent inode in the buffer.

* xfs: introduce CONFIG_XFS_WARNDave Chinner2013-05-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Running a CONFIG_XFS_DEBUG kernel in production environments is not the best idea as it introduces significant overhead, can change the behaviour of algorithms (such as allocation) to improve test coverage, and (most importantly) panic the machine on non-fatal errors. There are many cases where all we want to do is run a kernel with more bounds checking enabled, such as is provided by the ASSERT() statements throughout the code, but without all the potential overhead and drawbacks. This patch converts all the ASSERT statements to evaluate as WARN_ON(1) statements and hence if they fail dump a warning and a stack trace to the log. This has minimal overhead and does not change any algorithms, and will allow us to find strange "out of bounds" problems more easily on production machines. There are a few places where assert statements contain debug only code. These are converted to be debug-or-warn only code so that we still get all the assert checks in the code.

* xfs: convert buffer verifiers to an ops structure.Dave Chinner2012-11-15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | To separate the verifiers from iodone functions and associate read and write verifiers at the same time, introduce a buffer verifier operations structure to the xfs_buf. This avoids the need for assigning the write verifier, clearing the iodone function and re-running ioend processing in the read verifier, and gets rid of the nasty "b_pre_io" name for the write verifier function pointer. If we ever need to, it will also be easier to add further content specific callbacks to a buffer with an ops structure in place. We also avoid needing to export verifier functions, instead we can simply export the ops structures for those that are needed outside the function they are defined in. This patch also fixes a directory block readahead verifier issue it exposed. This patch also adds ops callbacks to the inode/alloc btree blocks initialised by growfs.

* xfs: make buffer read verication an IO completion functionDave Chinner2012-11-15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Add a verifier function callback capability to the buffer read interfaces. This will be used by the callers to supply a function that verifies the contents of the buffer when it is read from disk. This patch does not provide callback functions, but simply modifies the interfaces to allow them to be called. The reason for adding this to the read interfaces is that it is very difficult to tell fom the outside is a buffer was just read from disk or whether we just pulled it out of cache. Supplying a callbck allows the buffer cache to use it's internal knowledge of the buffer to execute it only when the buffer is read from disk. It is intended that the verifier functions will mark the buffer with an EFSCORRUPTED error when verification fails. This allows the reading context to distinguish a verification error from an IO error, and potentially take further actions on the buffer (e.g. attempt repair) based on the error reported.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

* xfs: remove log item from AIL in xfs_iflush after a shutdownChristoph Hellwig2012-05-14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | If a filesystem has been forced shutdown we are never going to write inodes to disk, which means the inode items will stay in the AIL until we free the inode. Currently that is not a problem, but a pending change requires us to empty the AIL before shutting down the filesystem. In that case leaving the inode in the AIL is lethal. Make sure to remove the log item from the AIL to allow emptying the AIL on shutdown filesystems.

* xfs: split in-core and on-disk inode log item fieldsChristoph Hellwig2012-03-13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Add a new ili_fields member to the inode log item to isolate the in-memory flags from the ones that actually go to the log. This will allow tracking timestamp-only updates for fdatasync and O_DSYNC in the next patch and prepares for divorcing the on-disk log format from the in-memory log item a little further down the road.

* xfs: log timestamp updatesChristoph Hellwig2012-03-13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Timestamps on regular files are the last metadata that XFS does not update transactionally. Now that we use the delaylog mode exclusively and made the log scode scale extremly well there is no need to bypass that code for timestamp updates. Logging all updates allows to drop a lot of code, and will allow for further performance improvements later on. Note that this patch drops optimized handling of fdatasync - it will be added back in a separate commit.

* xfs: remove the i_size field in struct xfs_inodeChristoph Hellwig2012-01-17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | There is no fundamental need to keep an in-memory inode size copy in the XFS inode. We already have the on-disk value in the dinode, and the separate in-memory copy that we need for regular files only in the XFS inode. Remove the xfs_inode i_size field and change the XFS_ISIZE macro to use the VFS inode i_size field for regular files. Switch code that was directly accessing the i_size field in the xfs_inode to XFS_ISIZE, or in cases where we are limited to regular files direct access of the VFS inode i_size field. This also allows dropping some fairly complicated code in the write path which dealt with keeping the xfs_inode i_size uptodate with the VFS i_size that is getting updated inside ->write_end. Note that we do not bother resetting the VFS i_size when truncating a file that gets freed to zero as there is no point in doing so because the VFS inode is no longer in use at this point. Just relax the assert in xfs_ifree to only check the on-disk size instead.

* xfs: replace i_pin_wait with a bit waitqueueChristoph Hellwig2012-01-17

* xfs: replace i_flock with a sleeping bitlockChristoph Hellwig2012-01-17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We almost never block on i_flock, the exception is synchronous inode flushing. Instead of bloating the inode with a 16/24-byte completion that we abuse as a semaphore just implement it as a bitlock that uses a bit waitqueue for the rare sleeping path. This primarily is a tradeoff between a much smaller inode and a faster non-blocking path vs faster wakeups, and we are much better off with the former. A small downside is that we will lose lockdep checking for i_flock, but given that it's always taken inside the ilock that should be acceptable. Note that for example the inode writeback locking is implemented in a very similar way.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | We spent a lot of effort to maintain this field, but it always equals to the fork size divided by the constant size of an extent. The prime use of it is to assert that the two stay in sync. Just divide the fork size by the extent size in the few places that we actually use it and remove the overhead of maintaining it. Also introduce a few helpers to consolidate the places where we actually care about the value.

* xfs: remove xfs_itruncate_dataChristoph Hellwig2012-01-13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This wrapper isn't overly useful, not to say rather confusing. Around the call to xfs_itruncate_extents it does: - add tracing - add a few asserts in debug builds - conditionally update the inode size in two places - log the inode Both the tracing and the inode logging can be moved to xfs_itruncate_extents as they are useful for the attribute fork as well - in fact the attr code already does an equivalent xfs_trans_log_inode call just after calling xfs_itruncate_extents. The conditional size updates are a mess, and there was no reason to do them in two places anyway, as the first one was conditional on the inode having extents - but without extents we xfs_itruncate_extents would be a no-op and the placement wouldn't matter anyway. Instead move the size assignments and the asserts that make sense to the callers that want it. As a side effect of this clean up xfs_setattr_size by introducing variables for the old and new inode size, and moving the size updates into a common place.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | There is no reason to keep a reference to the inode even if we unlock it during transaction commit because we never drop a reference between the ijoin and commit. Also use this fact to merge xfs_trans_ijoin_ref back into xfs_trans_ijoin - the third argument decides if an unlock is needed now. I'm actually starting to wonder if allowing inodes to be unlocked at transaction commit really is worth the effort. The only real benefit is that they can be unlocked earlier when commiting a synchronous transactions, but that could be solved by doing the log force manually after the unlock, too.

* xfs: introduce xfs_bmapi_read()Dave Chinner2011-10-11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | xfs_bmapi() currently handles both extent map reading and allocation. As a result, the code is littered with "if (wr)" branches to conditionally do allocation operations if required. This makes the code much harder to follow and causes significant indent issues with the code. Given that read mapping is much simpler than allocation, we can split out read mapping from xfs_bmapi() and reuse the logic that we have already factored out do do all the hard work of handling the extent map manipulations. The results in a much simpler function for the common extent read operations, and will allow the allocation code to be simplified in another commit. Once xfs_bmapi_read() is implemented, convert all the callers of xfs_bmapi() that are only reading extents to use the new function.
