* ext3: mount flags manipulation cleanupDmitry Monakhov2010-03-04

* ext3: Use bitops to read/modify EXT3_I(inode)->i_stateJan Kara2010-03-04
| | | | | | | | | At several places we modify EXT3_I(inode)->i_state without holding i_mutex (ext3_release_file, ext3_bmap, ext3_journalled_writepage, ext3_do_update_inode, ...). These modifications are racy and we can lose updates to i_state. So convert handling of i_state to use bitops which are atomic. Signed-off-by: Jan Kara <jack@suse.cz>
* quota: Cleanup S_NOQUOTA handlingJan Kara2010-03-04
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Cleanup handling of S_NOQUOTA inode flag and document it a bit. The flag does not have to be set under dqptr_sem. Only functions modifying inode's dquot pointers have to check the flag under dqptr_sem before going forward with the modification. This way we are sure that we cannot add new dquot pointers to the inode which is just becoming a quota file. The good thing about this cleanup is that there are no more places in quota code which enforce i_mutex vs. dqptr_sem lock ordering (in particular that dqptr_sem -> i_mutex of quota file). This should silence some (false) lockdep warnings with ext4 + quota and generally make life of some filesystems easier. Signed-off-by: Jan Kara <jack@suse.cz>

However, since *_FSCACHE still depends on EXPERIMENTAL, this won't happen. As Arjan van de Ven pointed out[1], the EXPERIMENTAL flag doesn't mean that much any more, I propose the following patch to fs/nfs/Kconfig. I'd do the same for fs/9p/Kconfig and fs/afs/Kconfig, but as I did not test 9p or AFS, I feel it would not be appropriate for me to remove the flag.

The "effects" of the operation are: - blocking callbacks (basts) for any newly granted locks - waiting or converting locks that can now be granted The cast is queued on the local node when the reply from the lock master is received. This means that a lock holder can receive a bast for a lock mode that is doesn't yet know has been granted. Signed-off-by: David Teigland <teigland@redhat.com>

In some cases the blocking callback (bast) is queued before the cast, though, and should be delivered first. This patch keeps track of the order in which they were queued and delivers them in that order. This patch also keeps track of the granted mode in the last cast and eliminates the following bast if the bast mode is compatible with the preceding cast mode. This happens when a remotely mastered lock is demoted, e.g. EX->NL, in which case the local node queues a cast immediately after sending the demote message. In this way a cast can be queued for a mode, e.g. NL, that makes an in-transit bast extraneous. Signed-off-by: David Teigland <teigland@redhat.com>

Currently these sycnhronous writes only come sync(1), unmount, a sycnhronous NFS export and cachefiles so should be relatively rare and out of common performance paths. Realistically, a synchronous inode write is not necessary here; we can avoid writing the inode by logging any non-transactional changes that are pending. This needs to be done with synchronous transactions, but it avoids seeking between the log and inode clusters as we do now. We don't force the log if the inode is pinned, though, so this differs from the fsync case. For normal sys_sync and unmount behaviour this is fine because we do a synchronous log force in xfs_sync_data which is called from the ->sync_fs code. It does however break the NFS synchronous export guarantees for now, but work is under way to fix this at a higher level or for the higher level to provide an additional flag in the writeback control to tell us that a log force is needed. Portions of this patch are based on work from Dave Chinner.

If there are lots of buffers ѕpread widely over the disk, this results in overwhelming the elevator sort queues in the block layer and we end up losing the posibility of merging adjacent buffers to minimise the number of IOs. Use the new generic list_sort function to sort the delwri dispatch queue before issue to ensure that the buffers are pushed in the most friendly order possible to the lower layers.

When the AIL needs to push the buffer out, it issues an async write of the buffer. This means that IO patterns are dependent on the order of buffers in the AIL. Instead of flushing the buffer, promote the buffer in the delayed write list so that the next time the xfsbufd is run the buffer will be flushed by the xfsbufd. Return the state to the xfsaild that the buffer was promoted so that the xfsaild knows that it needs to cause the xfsbufd to run to flush the buffers that were promoted. Using the xfsbufd for issuing the IO allows us to dispatch all buffer IO from the one queue. This means that we can make much more enlightened decisions on what order to flush buffers to disk as we don't have multiple places issuing IO. Optimisations to xfsbufd will be in a future patch. Version 2 - kill XFS_ITEM_FLUSHING as it is now unused. Signed-off-by: Dave Chinner <david@fromorbit.com> Reviewed-by: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de>

Not only that, there are also blocking and non-blocking asynchronous inode flushes, depending on where the flush comes from. This patch completely removes asynchronous inode writeback. It removes all the strange writeback modes and replaces them with either a synchronous flush or a non-blocking delayed write flush. That is, inode flushes will only issue IO directly if they are synchronous, and background flushing may do nothing if the operation would block (e.g. on a pinned inode or buffer lock). Delayed write flushes will now result in the inode buffer sitting in the delwri queue of the buffer cache to be flushed by either an AIL push or by the xfsbufd timing out the buffer. This will allow accumulation of dirty inode buffers in memory and allow optimisation of inode cluster writeback at the xfsbufd level where we have much greater queue depths than the block layer elevators. We will also get adjacent inode cluster buffer IO merging for free when a later patch in the series allows sorting of the delayed write buffers before dispatch. This effectively means that any inode that is written back by background writeback will be seen as flush locked during AIL pushing, and will result in the buffers being pushed from there. This writeback path is currently non-optimal, but the next patch in the series will fix that problem. A side effect of this delayed write mechanism is that background inode reclaim will no longer directly flush inodes, nor can it wait on the flush lock. The result is that inode reclaim must leave the inode in the reclaimable state until it is clean. Hence attempts to reclaim a dirty inode in the background will simply skip the inode until it is clean and this allows other mechanisms (i.e. xfsbufd) to do more optimal writeback of the dirty buffers. As a result, the inode reclaim code has been rewritten so that it no longer relies on the ambiguous return values of xfs_iflush() to determine whether it is safe to reclaim an inode. Portions of this patch are derived from patches by Christoph Hellwig.

We've had a history of problems in this area, and many of them stem from the overloading of the return values from xfs_iflush() and interaction with inode flush locking to determine if the inode is safe to reclaim. With the desire to move to delayed write flushing of inodes and non-blocking inode tree reclaim walks, the overloading of the return value of xfs_iflush makes it very difficult to determine the correct thing to do next. This patch explicitly re-adds the checks to the inode reclaim code, removing the reliance on the return value of xfs_iflush() to determine what to do next. It also means that we can clearly document all the inode states that reclaim must handle and hence we can easily see that we handled all the necessary cases. This also removes the need for the xfs_inode_clean() check in xfs_iflush() as all callers now check this first (safely).

Hence if we run xfs_check or xfs_repair -n while the filesystem is mounted remount,ro we end up with an inconsistent filesystem being reported. Also, running xfs_copy on the remount,ro filesystem will result in an inconsistent image being generated. To fix this, unreserve the blocks when doing the remount,ro, and reserved them again on remount,rw. This way a remount,ro filesystem will appear consistent on disk to all utilities.
