2009-04-06xfs: block callers of xfs_flush_inodes() correctlyDave Chinner
xfs_flush_inodes() currently uses a magic timeout to wait for some inodes to be flushed before returning. This isn't really reliable but used to be the best that could be done due to deadlock potential of waiting for the entire flush. Now the inode flush is safe to execute while we hold page and inode locks, we can wait for all the inodes to flush synchronously. Convert the wait mechanism to a completion to do this efficiently. This should remove all remaining spurious ENOSPC errors from the delayed allocation reservation path. This is extracted almost line for line from a larger patch from Mikulas Patocka.

2009-04-06xfs: make inode flush at ENOSPC synchronousDave Chinner
When we are writing to a single file and hit ENOSPC, we trigger a background flush of the inode and try again. Because we hold page locks and the iolock, the flush won't proceed until after we release these locks. This occurs once we've given up and ENOSPC has been reported. Hence if this one is the only dirty inode in the system, we'll get an ENOSPC prematurely. To fix this, remove the async flush from the allocation routines and move it to the top of the write path where we can do a synchronous flush and retry the write again. Only retry once as a second ENOSPC indicates that we really are ENOSPC. This avoids a page cache deadlock when trying to do this flush synchronously in the allocation layer that was identified by Mikulas Patocka.

2009-04-06xfs: use xfs_sync_inodes() for device flushingDave Chinner
Currently xfs_device_flush calls sync_blockdev() which is a no-op for XFS as all it's metadata is held in a different address to the one sync_blockdev() works on. Call xfs_sync_inodes() instead to flush all the delayed allocation blocks out. To do this as efficiently as possible, do it via two passes - one to do an async flush of all the dirty blocks and a second to wait for all the IO to complete. This requires some modification to the xfs-sync_inodes_ag() flush code to do efficiently. Signed-off-by: Dave Chinner <david@fromorbit.com> Reviewed-by: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de>
2009-04-06xfs: prevent unwritten extent conversion from blocking I/O completionDave Chinner
Unwritten extent conversion can recurse back into the filesystem due to memory allocation. Memory reclaim requires I/O completions to be processed to allow the callers to make progress. If the I/O completion workqueue thread is doing the recursion, then we have a deadlock situation. Move unwritten extent completion into it's own workqueue so it doesn't block I/O completions for normal delayed allocation or overwrite data.

2009-04-01mm: page_mkwrite change prototype to match faultNick Piggin
Change the page_mkwrite prototype to take a struct vm_fault, and return VM_FAULT_xxx flags. There should be no functional change. This makes it possible to return much more detailed error information to the VM (and also can provide more information eg. virtual_address to the driver, which might be important in some special cases). This is required for a subsequent fix. And will also make it easier to merge page_mkwrite() with fault() in future.

2009-03-29xfs: pagecache usage optimizationHisashi Hifumi
Hi. I introduced "is_partially_uptodate" aops for XFS. A page can have multiple buffers and even if a page is not uptodate, some buffers can be uptodate on pagesize != blocksize environment. This aops checks that all buffers which correspond to a part of a file that we want to read are uptodate. If so, we do not have to issue actual read IO to HDD even if a page is not uptodate because the portion we want to read are uptodate. "block_is_partially_uptodate" function is already used by ext2/3/4. With the following patch random read/write mixed workloads or random read after random write workloads can be optimized and we can get performance improvement. I did a performance test using the sysbench. #sysbench --num-threads=4 --max-requests=100000 --test=fileio --file-num=1 \ --file-block-size=8K --file-total-size=1G --file-test-mode=rndrw \ --file-fsync-freq=0 --file-rw-ratio=0.5 run -2.6.29-rc6 Test execution summary: total time: 123.8645s total number of events: 100000 total time taken by event execution: 442.4994 per-request statistics: min: 0.0000s avg: 0.0044s max: 0.3387s approx. 95 percentile: 0.0118s -2.6.29-rc6-patched Test execution summary: total time: 108.0757s total number of events: 100000 total time taken by event execution: 417.7505 per-request statistics: min: 0.0000s avg: 0.0042s max: 0.3217s approx. 95 percentile: 0.0118s arch: ia64 pagesize: 16k blocksize: 4k Signed-off-by: Hisashi Hifumi <hifumi.hisashi@oss.ntt.co.jp> Reviewed-by: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de> Reviewed-by: Felix Blyakher <felixb@sgi.com>

2009-01-09filesystem freeze: add error handling of write_super_lockfs/unlockfsTakashi Sato
Currently, ext3 in mainline Linux doesn't have the freeze feature which suspends write requests. So, we cannot take a backup which keeps the filesystem's consistency with the storage device's features (snapshot and replication) while it is mounted. In many case, a commercial filesystem (e.g. VxFS) has the freeze feature and it would be used to get the consistent backup. If Linux's standard filesystem ext3 has the freeze feature, we can do it without a commercial filesystem. So I have implemented the ioctls of the freeze feature. I think we can take the consistent backup with the following steps. 1. Freeze the filesystem with the freeze ioctl. 2. Separate the replication volume or create the snapshot with the storage device's feature. 3. Unfreeze the filesystem with the unfreeze ioctl. 4. Take the backup from the separated replication volume or the snapshot. This patch: VFS: Changed the type of write_super_lockfs and unlockfs from "void" to "int" so that they can return an error. Rename write_super_lockfs and unlockfs of the super block operation freeze_fs and unfreeze_fs to avoid a confusion. ext3, ext4, xfs, gfs2, jfs: Changed the type of write_super_lockfs and unlockfs from "void" to "int" so that write_super_lockfs returns an error if needed, and unlockfs always returns 0. reiserfs: Changed the type of write_super_lockfs and unlockfs from "void" to "int" so that they always return 0 (success) to keep a current behavior.

2009-01-09[XFS] remove old vmap cacheNick Piggin
XFS's vmap batching simply defers a number (up to 64) of vunmaps, and keeps track of them in a list. To purge the batch, it just goes through the list and calls vunamp on each one. This is pretty poor: a global TLB flush is generally still performed on each vunmap, with the most expensive parts of the operation being the broadcast IPIs and locking involved in the SMP callouts, and the locking involved in the vmap management -- none of these are avoided by just batching up the calls. I'm actually surprised it ever made much difference. (Now that the lazy vmap allocator is upstream, this description is not quite right, but the vunmap batching still doesn't seem to do much) Rip all this logic out of XFS completely. I will improve vmap performance and scalability directly in subsequent patch.
