| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Surprisingly chown() on ext4 is not SMP scalable operation. Due to unconditional orphan_del(NULL, inode) in ext4_setattr() result in significant performance overhead because of global orphan mutex, especially in no-journal mode (where orphan_add() is noop).

| | * ext4: fix kernel oops if the journal superblock has a non-zero j_errnoTheodore Ts'o2010-10-27
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Commit 84061e0 fixed an accounting bug only to introduce the possibility of a kernel OOPS if the journal has a non-zero j_errno field indicating that the file system had detected a fs inconsistency. After the journal replay, if the journal superblock indicates that the file system has an error, this indication is transfered to the file system and then ext4_commit_super() is called to write this to the disk. But since the percpu counters are now initialized after the journal replay, the call to ext4_commit_super() will cause a kernel oops since it needs to use the percpu counters the ext4 superblock structure. The fix is to skip setting the ext4 free block and free inode fields if the percpu counter has not been set. Thanks to Ken Sumrall for reporting and analyzing the root causes of this bug.

| | * ext4: update writeback_index based on last page scannedEric Sandeen2010-10-27
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | As pointed out in a prior patch, updating the mapping's writeback_index based on pages written isn't quite right; what the writeback index is really supposed to reflect is the next page which should be scanned for writeback during periodic flush. As in write_cache_pages(), write_cache_pages_da() does this scanning for us as we assemble the mpd for later writeout. If we keep track of the next page after the current scan, we can easily update writeback_index without worrying about pages written vs. pages skipped, etc. Without this, an fsync will reset writeback_index to 0 (its starting index) + however many pages it wrote, which can mess up the progress of periodic flush.

| | * ext4: implement writeback livelock avoidance using page taggingEric Sandeen2010-10-27
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This is analogous to Jan Kara's commit, f446daaea9d4a420d16c606f755f3689dcb2d0ce mm: implement writeback livelock avoidance using page tagging but since we forked write_cache_pages, we need to reimplement it there (and in ext4_da_writepages, since range_cyclic handling was moved to there) If you start a large buffered IO to a file, and then set fsync after it, you'll find that fsync does not complete until the other IO stops. If you continue re-dirtying the file (say, putting dd with conv=notrunc in a loop), when fsync finally completes (after all IO is done), it reports via tracing that it has written many more pages than the file contains; in other words it has synced and re-synced pages in the file multiple times. This then leads to problems with our writeback_index update, since it advances it by pages written, and essentially sets writeback_index off the end of the file... With the following patch, we only sync as much as was dirty at the time of the sync. Signed-off-by: Eric Sandeen <sandeen@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: "Theodore Ts'o" <tytso@mit.edu>

It can be invoked through FITRIM ioctl on the file system. The main idea is to provide a way to trim the whole file system if needed, since some SSD's may suffer from performance loss after the whole device was filled (it does not mean that fs is full!). It search for free extents in allocation groups specified by Byte range start -> start+len. When the free extent is within this range, blocks are marked as used and then trimmed. Afterwards these blocks are marked as free in per-group bitmap. Since fstrim is a long operation it is good to have an ability to interrupt it by a signal. This was added by Dmitry Monakhov.

I takes fstrim_range structure as an argument. fstrim_range is definec in the include/fs.h and its definition is as follows. struct fstrim_range { start; len; minlen; } start - first Byte to trim len - number of Bytes to trim from start minlen - minimum extent length to trim, free extents shorter than this number of Bytes will be ignored. This will be rounded up to fs block size. It is also possible to specify NULL as an argument. In this case the arguments will set itself as follows: start = 0; len = ULLONG_MAX; minlen = 0; So it will trim the whole file system at one run. After the FITRIM is done, the number of actually discarded Bytes is stored in fstrim_range.len to give the user better insight on how much storage space has been really released for wear-leveling.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | As a prepratory step to switching to bio_submit, inline ext4_writepage() into mpage_da_submit() and then simplify things a bit. This makes it clearer what mpage_da_submit needs to do. Also, move the ClearPageChecked(page) call into __ext4_journalled_writepage(), as a minor bit of cleanup refactoring. This also allows us to pull i_size_read() and ext4_should_journal_data() out of the loop, which should be a very minor CPU savings. Signed-off-by: "Theodore Ts'o" <tytso@mit.edu>

What this maximum offset should be depends on whether or not the huge_file file system feature is set, and whether or not the file is extent based or not. If the file has no "EXT4_EXTENTS_FL" flag, the maximum size which can be written (write systemcall) is different from the maximum size which can be sought (lseek systemcall). For example, the following 2 cases demonstrates the differences between the maximum size which can be written, versus the seek offset allowed by the llseek system call: #1: mkfs.ext3 <dev>; mount -t ext4 <dev> #2: mkfs.ext3 <dev>; tune2fs -Oextent,huge_file <dev>; mount -t ext4 <dev> Table. the max file size which we can write or seek at each filesystem feature tuning and file flag setting +============+===============================+===============================+ | \ File flag| | | | \ | !EXT4_EXTENTS_FL | EXT4_EXTETNS_FL | |case \| | | +------------+-------------------------------+-------------------------------+ | #1 | write: 2194719883264 | write: -------------- | | | seek: 2199023251456 | seek: -------------- | +------------+-------------------------------+-------------------------------+ | #2 | write: 4402345721856 | write: 17592186044415 | | | seek: 17592186044415 | seek: 17592186044415 | +------------+-------------------------------+-------------------------------+ The differences exist because ext4 has 2 maxbytes which are sb->s_maxbytes (= extent-mapped maxbytes) and EXT4_SB(sb)->s_bitmap_maxbytes (= block-mapped maxbytes). Although generic_file_llseek uses only extent-mapped maxbytes. (llseek of ext4_file_operations is generic_file_llseek which uses sb->s_maxbytes.) Therefore we create ext4 llseek function which uses 2 maxbytes. The new own function originates from generic_file_llseek(). If the file flag, "EXT4_EXTENTS_FL" is not set, the function alters inode->i_sb->s_maxbytes into EXT4_SB(inode->i_sb)->s_bitmap_maxbytes.

| | * ext4: add support for lazy inode table initializationLukas Czerner2010-10-27
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When the lazy_itable_init extended option is passed to mke2fs, it considerably speeds up filesystem creation because inode tables are not zeroed out. The fact that parts of the inode table are uninitialized is not a problem so long as the block group descriptors, which contain information regarding how much of the inode table has been initialized, has not been corrupted However, if the block group checksums are not valid, e2fsck must scan the entire inode table, and the the old, uninitialized data could potentially cause e2fsck to report false problems. Hence, it is important for the inode tables to be initialized as soon as possble. This commit adds this feature so that mke2fs can safely use the lazy inode table initialization feature to speed up formatting file systems. This is done via a new new kernel thread called ext4lazyinit, which is created on demand and destroyed, when it is no longer needed. There is only one thread for all ext4 filesystems in the system. When the first filesystem with inititable mount option is mounted, ext4lazyinit thread is created, then the filesystem can register its request in the request list. This thread then walks through the list of requests picking up scheduled requests and invoking ext4_init_inode_table(). Next schedule time for the request is computed by multiplying the time it took to zero out last inode table with wait multiplier, which can be set with the (init_itable=n) mount option (default is 10). We are doing this so we do not take the whole I/O bandwidth. When the thread is no longer necessary (request list is empty) it frees the appropriate structures and exits (and can be created later later by another filesystem). We do not disturb regular inode allocations in any way, it just do not care whether the inode table is, or is not zeroed. But when zeroing, we have to skip used inodes, obviously. Also we should prevent new inode allocations from the group, while zeroing is on the way. For that we take write alloc_sem lock in ext4_init_inode_table() and read alloc_sem in the ext4_claim_inode, so when we are unlucky and allocator hits the group which is currently being zeroed, it just has to wait. This can be suppresed using the mount option no_init_itable. Signed-off-by: Lukas Czerner <lczerner@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: "Theodore Ts'o" <tytso@mit.edu>

| | * ext4: use dedicated slab caches for group_info structuresCurt Wohlgemuth2010-10-27
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | ext4_group_info structures are currently allocated with kmalloc(). With a typical 4K block size, these are 136 bytes each -- meaning they'll each consume a 256-byte slab object. On a system with many ext4 large partitions, that's a lot of wasted kernel slab space. (E.g., a single 1TB partition will have about 8000 block groups, using about 2MB of slab, of which nearly 1MB is wasted.) This patch creates an array of slab pointers created as needed -- depending on the superblock block size -- and uses these slabs to allocate the group info objects.

When we get in the hung state, all I/O to the disk in question gets blocked where we stay indefinitely. Looking at the task list, I can see we are stuck in jbd2_journal_release_jbd_inode waiting on a wake up. I added some debug code to detect this scenario and dump additional data if we were stuck in jbd2_journal_release_jbd_inode for longer than 30 minutes. When it hit, I was able to see that i_flags was 0, suggesting we missed the wake up. This patch changes i_flags to be an unsigned long, uses bit operators to access it, and adds barriers around the accesses. Prior to applying this patch, we were regularly hitting this hang on numerous systems in our test environment. After applying the patch, the hangs no longer occur.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | It turns out we have several problems with how EOFBLOCKS_FL is handled. First of all, there was a fencepost error where we were not clearing the EOFBLOCKS_FL when fill in the last uninitialized block, but rather when we allocate the next block _after_ the uninitalized block. Secondly we were not testing to see if we needed to clear the EOFBLOCKS_FL when writing to the file O_DIRECT or when were converting an uninitialized block (which is the most common case).
