* xfs: copy li_lsn before dropping AIL lockNathaniel W. Turner2009-11-17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Access to log items on the AIL is generally protected by m_ail_lock; this is particularly needed when we're getting or setting the 64-bit li_lsn on a 32-bit platform. This patch fixes a couple places where we were accessing the log item after dropping the AIL lock on 32-bit machines. This can result in a partially-zeroed log->l_tail_lsn if xfs_trans_ail_delete is racing with xfs_trans_ail_update, and in at least some cases, this can leave the l_tail_lsn with a zero cycle number, which means xlog_space_left will think the log is full (unless CONFIG_XFS_DEBUG is set, in which case we'll trip an ASSERT), leading to processes stuck forever in xlog_grant_log_space. Thanks to Adrian VanderSpek for first spotting the race potential and to Dave Chinner for debug assistance. Signed-off-by: Nathaniel W.

* [XFS] correctly select first log item to pushDavid Chinner2008-10-30
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Under heavy metadata load we are seeing log hangs. The AIL has items in it ready to be pushed, and they are within the push target window. However, we are not pushing them when the last pushed LSN is less than the LSN of the first log item on the AIL. This is a regression introduced by the AIL push cursor modifications.

* [XFS] Finish removing the mount pointer from the AIL APIDavid Chinner2008-10-30
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Change all the remaining AIL API functions that are passed struct xfs_mount pointers to pass pointers directly to the struct xfs_ail being used. With this conversion, all external access to the AIL is via the struct xfs_ail. Hence the operation and referencing of the AIL is almost entirely independent of the xfs_mount that is using it - it is now much more tightly tied to the log and the items it is tracking in the log than it is tied to the xfs_mount.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Bring the ail lock inside the struct xfs_ail. This means the AIL can be entirely manipulated via the struct xfs_ail rather than needing both the struct xfs_mount and the struct xfs_ail.

* [XFS] move the AIl traversal over to a consistent interfaceDavid Chinner2008-10-30
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | With the new cursor interface, it makes sense to make all the traversing code use the cursor interface and make the old one go away. This means more of the AIL interfacing is done by passing struct xfs_ail pointers around the place instead of struct xfs_mount pointers. We can replace the use of xfs_trans_first_ail() in xfs_log_need_covered() as it is only checking if the AIL is empty. We can do that with a call to xfs_trans_ail_tail() instead, where a zero LSN returned indicates and empty AIL...

* [XFS] Use a cursor for AIL traversal.David Chinner2008-10-30
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | To replace the current generation number ensuring sanity of the AIL traversal, replace it with an external cursor that is linked to the AIL. Basically, we store the next item in the cursor whenever we want to drop the AIL lock to do something to the current item. When we regain the lock. the current item may already be free, so we can't reference it, but the next item in the traversal is already held in the cursor. When we move or delete an object, we search all the active cursors and if there is an item match we clear the cursor(s) that point to the object. This forces the traversal to restart transparently. We don't invalidate the cursor on insert because the cursor still points to a valid item. If the intem is inserted between the current item and the cursor it does not matter; the traversal is considered to be past the insertion point so it will be picked up in the next traversal. Hence traversal restarts pretty much disappear altogether with this method of traversal, which should substantially reduce the overhead of pushing on a busy AIL.

* [XFS] Allocate the struct xfs_ailDavid Chinner2008-10-30
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Rather than embedding the struct xfs_ail in the struct xfs_mount, allocate it during AIL initialisation. Add a back pointer to the struct xfs_ail so that we can pass around the xfs_ail and still be able to access the xfs_mount if need be. This is th first step involved in isolating the AIL implementation from the surrounding filesystem code.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | wakeups Idle state is not being detected properly by the xfsaild push code. The current idle state is detected by an empty list which may never happen with mostly idle filesystem or one using lazy superblock counters. A single dirty item in the list that exists beyond the push target can result repeated looping attempting to push up to the target because it fails to check if the push target has been acheived or not. Fix by considering a dirty list with everything past the target as an idle state and set the timeout appropriately.

* [XFS] Make xfs_ail_check check less by defaultDavid Chinner2008-02-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Checking the entire AIL on every insert and remove is prohibitively expensive - the sustained sequntial create rate on a single disk drops from about 1800/s to 60/s because of this checking resulting in the xfslogd becoming cpu bound. By default on debug builds, only check the next and previous entries in the list to ensure they are ordered correctly. If you really want, define XFS_TRANS_DEBUG to use the old behaviour.

* [XFS] Move AIL pushing into it's own threadDavid Chinner2008-02-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When many hundreds to thousands of threads all try to do simultaneous transactions and the log is in a tail-pushing situation (i.e. full), we can get multiple threads walking the AIL list and contending on the AIL lock. The AIL push is, in effect, a simple I/O dispatch algorithm complicated by the ordering constraints placed on it by the transaction subsystem. It really does not need multiple threads to push on it - even when only a single CPU is pushing the AIL, it can push the I/O out far faster that pretty much any disk subsystem can handle. So, to avoid contention problems stemming from multiple list walkers, move the list walk off into another thread and simply provide a "target" to push to. When a thread requires a push, it sets the target and wakes the push thread, then goes to sleep waiting for the required amount of space to become available in the log. This mechanism should also be a lot fairer under heavy load as the waiters will queue in arrival order, rather than queuing in "who completed a push first" order. Also, by moving the pushing to a separate thread we can do more effectively overload detection and prevention as we can keep context from loop iteration to loop iteration. That is, we can push only part of the list each loop and not have to loop back to the start of the list every time we run. This should also help by reducing the number of items we try to lock and/or push items that we cannot move. Note that this patch is not intended to solve the inefficiencies in the AIL structure and the associated issues with extremely large list contents. That needs to be addresses separately; parallel access would cause problems to any new structure as well, so I'm only aiming to isolate the structure from unbounded parallelism here.

* [XFS] Radix tree based inode cachingDavid Chinner2007-10-15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | One of the perpetual scaling problems XFS has is indexing it's incore inodes. We currently uses hashes and the default hash sizes chosen can only ever be a tradeoff between memory consumption and the maximum realistic size of the cache. As a result, anyone who has millions of inodes cached on a filesystem needs to tunes the size of the cache via the ihashsize mount option to allow decent scalability with inode cache operations. A further problem is the separate inode cluster hash, whose size is based on the ihashsize but is smaller, and so under certain conditions (sparse cluster cache population) this can become a limitation long before the inode hash is causing issues. The following patchset removes the inode hash and cluster hash and replaces them with radix trees to avoid the scalability limitations of the hashes. It also reduces the size of the inodes by 3 pointers....

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!
