* xfs: remove incorrect assert in xfs_vm_writepageChristoph Hellwig2010-11-10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In commit 20cb52ebd1b5ca6fa8a5d9b6b1392292f5ca8a45, titled "xfs: simplify xfs_vm_writepage" I added an assert that any !mapped and uptodate buffers are not dirty. That asserts turns out to trigger a lot when running fsx on filesystems with small block sizes. The reason for that is that the assert is simply incorrect. !mapped and uptodate just mean this buffer covers a hole, and whenever we do a set_page_dirty we mark all blocks in the page dirty, no matter if they have data or not. So remove the assert, and update the comment above the condition to match reality. Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de> Signed-off-by: Alex Elder <aelder@sgi.com>
* xfs: use hlist_add_fakeChristoph Hellwig2010-11-10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | XFS does not need it's inodes to actuall be hashed in the VFS inode cache, but we require the inode to be marked hashed for the writeback code to work. Insted of using insert_inode_hash, which requires a second inode_lock roundtrip after the partial merge of the inode scalability patches in 2.6.37-rc simply use the new hlist_add_fake helper to mark it hashed without requiring a lock or touching a global cache line.

| | | | | | | | | | Andi Kleen reported that gcc-4.5 gives lots of warnings for him inside the XFS code.

* xfs: tell lockdep about parent iolock usage in filestreamsChristoph Hellwig2010-11-10
| | | | | | | | | | | The filestreams code may take the iolock on the parent inode while holding it on a child. This is the only place in XFS where we take both the child and parent iolock, so just telling lockdep about it is enough. The lock flag required for that was already added as part of the ilock lockdep annotations and unused so far. Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de> Signed-off-by: Alex Elder <aelder@sgi.com>
* xfs: move delayed write buffer traceDave Chinner2010-11-10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | The delayed write buffer split trace currently issues a trace for every buffer it scans. These buffers are not necessarily queued for delayed write. Indeed, when buffers are pinned, there can be thousands of traces of buffers that aren't actually queued for delayed write and the ones that are are lost in the noise. Move the trace point to record only buffers that are split out for IO to be issued on.

There are no behavior change except for the removal of two entries from one of the ext4 tracing interface. The nonblocking checks in ->writepages are no longer used because the flusher now prefer to block on get_request_wait() than to skip inodes on IO congestion. The latter will lead to more seeky IO. The nonblocking checks in ->writepage are no longer used because it's redundant with the WB_SYNC_NONE check. We no long set ->nonblocking in VM page out and page migration, because a) it's effectively redundant with WB_SYNC_NONE in current code b) it's old semantic of "Don't get stuck on request queues" is mis-behavior: that would skip some dirty inodes on congestion and page out others, which is unfair in terms of LRU age.

In large scale testing the number of cached items growing far larger than the hash can efficiently handle. Hence we need to move to a self-scaling cache indexing mechanism. I have selected rbtrees for indexing becuse they can have O(log n) search scalability, and insert and remove cost is not excessive, even on large trees. Hence we should be able to cache large numbers of buffers without incurring the excessive cache miss search penalties that the hash is imposing on us. To ensure we still have parallel access to the cache, we need multiple trees. Rather than hashing the buffers by disk address to select a tree, it seems more sensible to separate trees by typical access patterns. Most operations use buffers from within a single AG at a time, so rather than searching lots of different lists, separate the buffer indexes out into per-AG rbtrees. This means that searches during metadata operation have a much higher chance of hitting cache resident nodes, and that updates of the tree are less likely to disturb trees being accessed on other CPUs doing independent operations.

When the cache they are all working on is protected by a single spinlock, massive contention an slowdowns occur. Wrap the per-ag inode caches with a reclaim mutex to serialise reclaim access to the AG. This will block concurrent reclaim in each AG but still allow reclaim to scan multiple AGs concurrently. Allow shrinkers to move on to the next AG if it can't get the lock, and if we can't get any AG, then start blocking on locks. To prevent reclaimers from continually scanning the same inodes in each AG, add a cursor that tracks where the last reclaim got up to and start from that point on the next reclaim. This should avoid only ever scanning a small number of inodes at the satart of each AG and not making progress.

| * | xfs: rename xfs_buf_get_nodaddr to be more appropriateDave Chinner2010-10-18
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | xfs_buf_get_nodaddr() is really used to allocate a buffer that is uncached. While it is not directly assigned a disk address, the fact that they are not cached is a more important distinction. With the upcoming uncached buffer read primitive, we should be consistent with this disctinction. While there, make page allocation in xfs_buf_get_nodaddr() safe against memory reclaim re-entrancy into the filesystem by allowing a flags parameter to be passed.

| * | xfs: don't use vfs writeback for pure metadata modificationsDave Chinner2010-10-18
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Under heavy multi-way parallel create workloads, the VFS struggles to write back all the inodes that have been changed in age order. The bdi flusher thread becomes CPU bound, spending 85% of it's time in the VFS code, mostly traversing the superblock dirty inode list to separate dirty inodes old enough to flush. We already keep an index of all metadata changes in age order - in the AIL - and continued log pressure will do age ordered writeback without any extra overhead at all. If there is no pressure on the log, the xfssyncd will periodically write back metadata in ascending disk address offset order so will be very efficient. Hence we can stop marking VFS inodes dirty during transaction commit or when changing timestamps during transactions. This will keep the inodes in the superblock dirty list to those containing data or unlogged metadata changes. However, the timstamp changes are slightly more complex than this - there are a couple of places that do unlogged updates of the timestamps, and the VFS need to be informed of these. Hence add a new function xfs_trans_ichgtime() for transactional changes, and leave xfs_ichgtime() for the non-transactional changes.

| * | xfs: lockless per-ag lookupsDave Chinner2010-10-18
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When we start taking a reference to the per-ag for every cached buffer in the system, kernel lockstat profiling on an 8-way create workload shows the mp->m_perag_lock has higher acquisition rates than the inode lock and has significantly more contention. That is, it becomes the highest contended lock in the system. The perag lookup is trivial to convert to lock-less RCU lookups because perag structures never go away. Hence the only thing we need to protect against is tree structure changes during a grow. This can be done simply by replacing the locking in xfs_perag_get() with RCU read locking. This removes the mp->m_perag_lock completely from this path. Signed-off-by: Dave Chinner <dchinner@redhat.com> Reviewed-by: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de> Reviewed-by: Alex Elder <aelder@sgi.com>

| * | xfs: reduce the number of CIL lock round trips during commitDave Chinner2010-10-18
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When commiting a transaction, we do a lock CIL state lock round trip on every single log vector we insert into the CIL. This is resulting in the lock being as hot as the inode and dcache locks on 8-way create workloads. Rework the insertion loops to bring the number of lock round trips to one per transaction for log vectors, and one more do the busy extents. Also change the allocation of the log vector buffer not to zero it as we copy over the entire allocated buffer anyway. This patch also includes a structural cleanup to the CIL item insertion provided by Christoph Hellwig.

| * | xfs: remove the ->kill_root btree operationChristoph Hellwig2010-10-18

Initially both of them used xfs_btree_setbuf, but the use in the ialloc btree was removed early on because it interacted badly with xfs_trans_binval. In addition to zeroing out the buffer in the cursor xfs_btree_setbuf updates the bc_ra array in the btree cursor, and calls xfs_trans_brelse on the buffer previous occupying the slot. The bc_ra update should be done for the alloc btree updated too, although the lack of it does not cause serious problems. The xfs_trans_brelse call on the other hand is effectively a no-op in the end - it keeps decrementing the bli_recur refcount until it hits zero, and then just skips out because the buffer will always be dirty at this point. So removing it for the allocation btree is just fine. So unify the code and move it to xfs_btree.c. While we're at it also replace the call to xfs_btree_setbuf with a NULL bp argument in xfs_btree_del_cursor with a direct call to xfs_trans_brelse given that the cursor is beeing freed just after this and the state updates are superflous. After this xfs_btree_setbuf is only used with a non-NULL bp argument and can thus be simplified. Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de> Signed-off-by: Alex Elder <aelder@sgi.com>
