* fs: icache RCU free inodesNick Piggin2011-01-071-1/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | RCU free the struct inode. This will allow: - Subsequent store-free path walking patch. The inode must be consulted for permissions when walking, so an RCU inode reference is a must. - sb_inode_list_lock to be moved inside i_lock because sb list walkers who want to take i_lock no longer need to take sb_inode_list_lock to walk the list in the first place. This will simplify and optimize locking. - Could remove some nested trylock loops in dcache code - Could potentially simplify things a bit in VM land. Do not need to take the page lock to follow page->mapping. The downsides of this is the performance cost of using RCU. In a simple creat/unlink microbenchmark, performance drops by about 10% due to inability to reuse cache-hot slab objects. As iterations increase and RCU freeing starts kicking over, this increases to about 20%. In cases where inode lifetimes are longer (ie. many inodes may be allocated during the average life span of a single inode), a lot of this cache reuse is not applicable, so the regression caused by this patch is smaller. The cache-hot regression could largely be avoided by using SLAB_DESTROY_BY_RCU, however this adds some complexity to list walking and store-free path walking, so I prefer to implement this at a later date, if it is shown to be a win in real situations. I haven't found a regression in any non-micro benchmark so I doubt it will be a problem. Signed-off-by: Nick Piggin <npiggin@kernel.dk>

* fs: inode split IO and LRU listsNick Piggin2010-10-251-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | The use of the same inode list structure (inode->i_list) for two different list constructs with different lifecycles and purposes makes it impossible to separate the locking of the different operations. Therefore, to enable the separation of the locking of the writeback and reclaim lists, split the inode->i_list into two separate lists dedicated to their specific tracking functions.

* fs: switch bdev inode bdi's correctlyDave Chinner2010-10-251-5/+21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | bdev inodes can remain dirty even after their last close. Hence the BDI associated with the bdev->inode gets modified duringthe last close to point to the default BDI. However, the bdev inode still needs to be moved to the dirty lists of the new BDI, otherwise it will corrupt the writeback list is was left on. Add a new function bdev_inode_switch_bdi() to move all the bdi state from the old bdi to the new one safely. This is only a temporary measure until the bdev inode<->bdi lifecycle problems are sorted out.

* block: remove BLKDEV_IFL_WAITChristoph Hellwig2010-09-161-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | All the blkdev_issue_* helpers can only sanely be used for synchronous caller. To issue cache flushes or barriers asynchronously the caller needs to set up a bio by itself with a completion callback to move the asynchronous state machine ahead. So drop the BLKDEV_IFL_WAIT flag that is always specified when calling blkdev_issue_* and also remove the now unused flags argument to blkdev_issue_flush and blkdev_issue_zeroout. For blkdev_issue_discard we need to keep it for the secure discard flag, which gains a more descriptive name and loses the bitops vs flag confusion.

* blkdev: cgroup whitelist permission fixChris Wright2010-08-111-4/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The cgroup device whitelist code gets confused when trying to grant permission to a disk partition that is not currently open. Part of blkdev_open() includes __blkdev_get() on the whole disk. Basically, the only ways to reliably allow a cgroup access to a partition on a block device when using the whitelist are to 1) also give it access to the whole block device or 2) make sure the partition is already open in a different context. The patch avoids the cgroup check for the whole disk case when opening a partition.

| * block: push down BKL into .open and .releaseArnd Bergmann2010-08-071-8/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The open and release block_device_operations are currently called with the BKL held. In order to change that, we must first make sure that all drivers that currently rely on this have no regressions. This blindly pushes the BKL into all .open and .release operations for all block drivers to prepare for the next step. The drivers can subsequently replace the BKL with their own locks or remove it completely when it can be shown that it is not needed. The functions blkdev_get and blkdev_put are the only remaining users of the big kernel lock in the block layer, besides a few uses in the ioctl code, none of which need to serialize with blkdev_{get,put}. Most of these two functions is also under the protection of bdev->bd_mutex, including the actual calls to ->open and ->release, and the common code does not access any global data structures that need the BKL.

This triggered BUG_ON() as reported in the following bug. https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=16393 __bd_abort_claiming() is used to finish claiming blocks and doesn't work if multiple openers are inside a claiming block. Allowing multiple parallel open attempts to continue doesn't gain anything as those are serialized down in the call chain anyway.

| * Introduce freeze_super and thaw_super for the fsfreeze ioctlJosef Bacik2010-05-211-58/+16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently the way we do freezing is by passing sb>s_bdev to freeze_bdev and then letting it do all the work. But freezing is more of an fs thing, and doesn't really have much to do with the bdev at all, all the work gets done with the super. In btrfs we do not populate s_bdev, since we can have multiple bdev's for one fs and setting s_bdev makes removing devices from a pool kind of tricky. This means that freezing a btrfs filesystem fails, which causes us to corrupt with things like tux-on-ice which use the fsfreeze mechanism. So instead of populating sb->s_bdev with a random bdev in our pool, I've broken the actual fs freezing stuff into freeze_super and thaw_super. These just take the super_block that we're freezing and does the appropriate work. It's basically just copy and pasted from freeze_bdev. I've then converted freeze_bdev over to use the new super helpers. I've tested this with ext4 and btrfs and verified everything continues to work the same as before. The only new gotcha is multiple calls to the fsfreeze ioctl will return EBUSY if the fs is already frozen. I thought this was a better solution than adding a freeze counter to the super_block, but if everybody hates this idea I'm open to suggestions.

The database opens a block device with O_DIRECT|O_SYNC and a number of threads write to different regions of the file at the same time. A simple test case is below. I haven't defined DEVICE since getting it wrong will destroy your data :) On an 3 disk LVM with a 64k chunk size we see about 17MB/sec and only a few threads in IO wait: procs -----io---- -system-- -----cpu------ r b bi bo in cs us sy id wa st 0 3 0 16170 656 2259 0 0 86 14 0 0 2 0 16704 695 2408 0 0 92 8 0 0 2 0 17308 744 2653 0 0 86 14 0 0 2 0 17933 759 2777 0 0 89 10 0 Most threads are blocking in vfs_fsync_range, which has: mutex_lock(&mapping->host->i_mutex); err = fop->fsync(file, dentry, datasync); if (!ret) ret = err; mutex_unlock(&mapping->host->i_mutex); commit 148f948ba877f4d3cdef036b1ff6d9f68986706a (vfs: Introduce new helpers for syncing after writing to O_SYNC file or IS_SYNC inode) offers some explanation of what is going on: Use these new helpers for syncing from generic VFS functions.

This means that exclusive open attempts while a device is already exclusively open will fail only after disk->fops->open() is called. cdrom driver issues commands during open() which means that O_EXCL open attempt can unintentionally inject commands to in-progress command stream for burning thus disturbing burning process. In most cases, this doesn't cause problems because the first command to be issued is TUR which most devices can process in the middle of burning. However, depending on how a device replies to TUR during burning, cdrom driver may end up issuing further commands. This can't be resolved trivially by moving bd_claim() before doing actual open() because that means an open attempt which will end up failing could interfere other legit O_EXCL open attempts. ie. unconfirmed open attempts can fail others. This patch resolves the problem by introducing claiming block which is started by bd_start_claiming() and terminated either by bd_claim() or bd_abort_claiming(). bd_claim() from inside a claiming block is guaranteed to succeed and once a claiming block is started, other bd_start_claiming() or bd_claim() attempts block till the current claiming block is terminated. bd_claim() can still be used standalone although now it always synchronizes against claiming blocks, so the existing users will keep working without any change. blkdev_open() and open_bdev_exclusive() are converted to use claiming blocks so that exclusive open attempts from these functions don't interfere with the existing exclusive open. This problem was discovered while investigating bko#15403. https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=15403 The burning problem itself can be resolved by updating userspace probing tools to always open w/ O_EXCL.

* raw: fsync method is now requiredAnton Blanchard2010-04-071-1/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Commit 148f948ba877f4d3cdef036b1ff6d9f68986706a (vfs: Introduce new helpers for syncing after writing to O_SYNC file or IS_SYNC inode) broke the raw driver. We now call through generic_file_aio_write -> generic_write_sync -> vfs_fsync_range. vfs_fsync_range has: if (!fop || !fop->fsync) { ret = -EINVAL; goto out; } But drivers/char/raw.c doesn't set an fsync method. We have two options: fix it or remove the raw driver completely. I'm happy to do either, the fact this has been broken for so long suggests it is rarely used. The patch below adds an fsync method to the raw driver. My knowledge of the block layer is pretty sketchy so this could do with a once over. If we instead decide to remove the raw driver, this patch might still be useful as a backport to 2.6.33 and 2.6.32.

* freeze_bdev: don't deactivate successfully frozen MS_RDONLY sbJun'ichi Nomura2010-02-071-3/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Thanks Thomas and Christoph for testing and review. I removed 'smp_wmb()' before up_write from the previous patch, since up_write() should have necessary ordering constraints. (I.e. the change of s_frozen is visible to others after up_write) I'm quite sure the change is harmless but if you are uncomfortable with Tested-by/Reviewed-by on the modified patch, please remove them. If MS_RDONLY, freeze_bdev should just up_write(s_umount) instead of deactivate_locked_super(). Also, keep sb->s_frozen consistent so that remount can check the frozen state. Otherwise a crash reported here can happen: http://lkml.org/lkml/2010/1/16/37 http://lkml.org/lkml/2010/1/28/53 This patch should be applied for 2.6.32 stable series, too.

I tried git bisect to find out what caused the bug to start manifesting, and it could have been the recent change to blk_unregister_queue (48c0d4d4c04) but the results were inconclusive. This patch certainly fixes my symptoms and looks correct as the two calls are now in the same order as elsewhere in that function.

* | blkdev: flush disk cache on ->fsyncChristoph Hellwig2009-10-291-1/+11
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently there is no barrier support in the block device code. That means we cannot guarantee any sort of data integerity when using the block device node with dis kwrite caches enabled. Using the raw block device node is a typical use case for virtualization (and I assume databases, too). This patch changes block_fsync to issue a cache flush and thus make fsync on block device nodes actually useful. Note that in mainline we would also need to add such code to the ->aio_write method for O_SYNC handling, but assuming that Jan's patch series for the O_SYNC rewrite goes in it will also call into ->fsync for 2.6.32.

* freeze_bdev: grab active reference to frozen superblocksChristoph Hellwig2009-09-241-60/+72
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently we held s_umount while a filesystem is frozen, despite that we might return to userspace and unlock it from a different process. Instead grab an active reference to keep the file system busy and add an explicit check for frozen filesystems in remount and reject the remount instead of blocking on s_umount. Add a new get_active_super helper to super.c for use by freeze_bdev that grabs an active reference to a superblock from a given block device.

* freeze_bdev: kill bd_mount_semChristoph Hellwig2009-09-241-7/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Now that we have the freeze count there is not much reason for bd_mount_sem anymore. The actual freeze/thaw operations are serialized using the bd_fsfreeze_mutex, and the only other place we take bd_mount_sem is get_sb_bdev which tries to prevent mounting a filesystem while the block device is frozen. Instead of add a check for bd_fsfreeze_count and return -EBUSY if a filesystem is frozen. While that is a change in user visible behaviour a failing mount is much better for this case rather than having the mount process stuck uninterruptible for a long time.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Create bdgrab(). This function copies an existing reference to a block_device. It is safe to call from any context. Hibernation code wishes to copy a reference to the active swap device. Right now it calls bdget() under a spinlock, but this is wrong because bdget() can sleep. It doesn't need a full bdget() because we already hold a reference to active swap devices (and the spinlock protects against swapoff).

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | It is unnecessarily fragile to have two places (fsync_super() and do_sync()) doing data integrity sync of the filesystem. Alter __fsync_super() to accommodate needs of both callers and use it. So after this patch __fsync_super() is the only place where we gather all the calls needed to properly send all data on a filesystem to disk. Nice bonus is that we get a complete livelock avoidance and write_supers() is now only used for periodic writeback of superblocks. sync_blockdevs() introduced a couple of patches ago is gone now.

With SATA 4KB drives coming out that will no longer be the case. The sector size will be 4KB but the logical block size will remain 512-bytes.
