* xfs: garbage collect old cowextsz reservationsDarrick J. Wong2016-10-051-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Trim CoW reservations made on behalf of a cowextsz hint if they get too old or we run low on quota, so long as we don't have dirty data awaiting writeback or directio operations in progress. Garbage collection of the cowextsize extents are kept separate from prealloc extent reaping because setting the CoW prealloc lifetime to a (much) higher value than the regular prealloc extent lifetime has been useful for combatting CoW fragmentation on VM hosts where the VMs experience bursty write behaviors and we can keep the utilization ratios low enough that we don't start to run out of space. IOWs, it benefits us to keep the CoW fork reservations around for as long as we can unless we run out of blocks or hit inode reclaim. Signed-off-by: Darrick J.

* xfs: export log_recovery_delay to delay mount time log recoveryBrian Foster2014-09-091-0/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | XFS log recovery has been discovered to have race conditions with buffers when I/O errors occur. External tools are available to simulate I/O errors to XFS, but this alone is not sufficient for testing log recovery. XFS unconditionally resets the inactive region of the log prior to log recovery to avoid confusion over processing any partially written log records that might have been written before an unclean shutdown. Therefore, unconditional write I/O failures at mount time are caught by the reset sequence rather than log recovery and hinder the ability to test the latter. The device-mapper dm-flakey module uses an up/down timer to define a cycle for when to fail I/Os. Create a pre log recovery delay tunable that can be used to coordinate XFS log recovery with I/O errors simulated by dm-flakey. This facilitates coordination in userspace that allows the reset of stale log blocks to succeed and writes due to log recovery to fail. For example, define a dm-flakey instance with an uptime long enough to allow log reset to succeed and a log recovery delay long enough to allow the dm-flakey uptime to expire. The 'log_recovery_delay' sysfs tunable is exported under /sys/fs/xfs/debug and is only enabled for kernels compiled in XFS debug mode. The value is exported in units of seconds and allows for a delay of up to 60 seconds. Note that this is for XFS debug and test instrumentation purposes only and should not be used by applications. No delay is enabled by default. Signed-off-by: Brian Foster <bfoster@redhat.com> Reviewed-by: Dave Chinner <dchinner@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Dave Chinner <david@fromorbit.com>
* xfs: add background scanning to clear eofblocks inodesBrian Foster2012-11-081-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Create a new mount workqueue and delayed_work to enable background scanning and freeing of eofblocks inodes. The scanner kicks in once speculative preallocation occurs and stops requeueing itself when no eofblocks inodes exist. The scan interval is based on the new 'speculative_prealloc_lifetime' tunable (default to 5m). The background scanner performs unfiltered, best effort scans (which skips inodes under lock contention or with a dirty cache mapping).

* xfs: remove subdirectoriesChristoph Hellwig2011-08-121-0/+102
Use the move from Linux 2.6 to Linux 3.x as an excuse to kill the annoying subdirectories in the XFS source code. Besides the large amount of file rename the only changes are to the Makefile, a few files including headers with the subdirectory prefix, and the binary sysctl compat code that includes a header under fs/xfs/ from kernel/.
