| * | xfs: don't use vfs writeback for pure metadata modificationsDave Chinner2010-10-1812-86/+65
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Under heavy multi-way parallel create workloads, the VFS struggles to write back all the inodes that have been changed in age order. The bdi flusher thread becomes CPU bound, spending 85% of it's time in the VFS code, mostly traversing the superblock dirty inode list to separate dirty inodes old enough to flush. We already keep an index of all metadata changes in age order - in the AIL - and continued log pressure will do age ordered writeback without any extra overhead at all. If there is no pressure on the log, the xfssyncd will periodically write back metadata in ascending disk address offset order so will be very efficient. Hence we can stop marking VFS inodes dirty during transaction commit or when changing timestamps during transactions. This will keep the inodes in the superblock dirty list to those containing data or unlogged metadata changes. However, the timstamp changes are slightly more complex than this - there are a couple of places that do unlogged updates of the timestamps, and the VFS need to be informed of these. Hence add a new function xfs_trans_ichgtime() for transactional changes, and leave xfs_ichgtime() for the non-transactional changes.

| * | xfs: lockless per-ag lookupsDave Chinner2010-10-183-11/+23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When we start taking a reference to the per-ag for every cached buffer in the system, kernel lockstat profiling on an 8-way create workload shows the mp->m_perag_lock has higher acquisition rates than the inode lock and has significantly more contention. That is, it becomes the highest contended lock in the system. The perag lookup is trivial to convert to lock-less RCU lookups because perag structures never go away. Hence the only thing we need to protect against is tree structure changes during a grow. This can be done simply by replacing the locking in xfs_perag_get() with RCU read locking. This removes the mp->m_perag_lock completely from this path. Signed-off-by: Dave Chinner <dchinner@redhat.com> Reviewed-by: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de> Reviewed-by: Alex Elder <aelder@sgi.com>

| * | xfs: reduce the number of CIL lock round trips during commitDave Chinner2010-10-181-105/+127
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When commiting a transaction, we do a lock CIL state lock round trip on every single log vector we insert into the CIL. This is resulting in the lock being as hot as the inode and dcache locks on 8-way create workloads. Rework the insertion loops to bring the number of lock round trips to one per transaction for log vectors, and one more do the busy extents. Also change the allocation of the log vector buffer not to zero it as we copy over the entire allocated buffer anyway. This patch also includes a structural cleanup to the CIL item insertion provided by Christoph Hellwig.

Initially both of them used xfs_btree_setbuf, but the use in the ialloc btree was removed early on because it interacted badly with xfs_trans_binval. In addition to zeroing out the buffer in the cursor xfs_btree_setbuf updates the bc_ra array in the btree cursor, and calls xfs_trans_brelse on the buffer previous occupying the slot. The bc_ra update should be done for the alloc btree updated too, although the lack of it does not cause serious problems. The xfs_trans_brelse call on the other hand is effectively a no-op in the end - it keeps decrementing the bli_recur refcount until it hits zero, and then just skips out because the buffer will always be dirty at this point. So removing it for the allocation btree is just fine. So unify the code and move it to xfs_btree.c. While we're at it also replace the call to xfs_btree_setbuf with a NULL bp argument in xfs_btree_del_cursor with a direct call to xfs_trans_brelse given that the cursor is beeing freed just after this and the state updates are superflous. After this xfs_btree_setbuf is only used with a non-NULL bp argument and can thus be simplified. Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de> Signed-off-by: Alex Elder <aelder@sgi.com>

When an inode is finally reclaimed, however, it is only deleted from the per-AG tree. Neither the counter is decreased, nor is the parent tree's AG entry untagged properly. Since the tags in the per-mount tree are not cleared, the inode shrinker iterates over all AGs that have had reclaimable inodes at one point in time. The counters on the other hand signal an increasing amount of slab objects to reclaim. Since "70e60ce xfs: convert inode shrinker to per-filesystem context" this is not a real issue anymore because the shrinker bails out after one iteration. But the problem was observable on a machine running v2.6.34, where the reclaimable work increased and each process going into direct reclaim eventually got stuck on the xfs inode shrinking path, trying to scan several million objects. Fix this by properly unwinding the reclaimable-state tracking of an inode when it is reclaimed.

| * | xfs: force background CIL push under sustained loadDave Chinner2010-09-292-19/+30

The only notable thing was that the xfsaild was trying to be active during the pauses, but making no progress. It was running exactly 20 times a second (on the 50ms no-progress backoff), and the number of pushbuf events was constant across this time as well. IOWs, the xfsaild appeared to be stuck on buffers that it could not push out. Further investigation indicated that it was trying to push out inode buffers that were pinned and/or locked. The xfsbufd was also getting woken at the same frequency (by the xfsaild, no doubt) to push out delayed write buffers. The xfsbufd was not making any progress because all the buffers in the delwri queue were pinned. This scan- and-make-no-progress dance went one in the trace for some seconds, before the xfssyncd came along an issued a log force, and then things started going again. However, I noticed something strange about the log force - there were way too many IO's issued. 516 log buffers were written, to be exact. That added up to 129MB of log IO, which got me very interested because it's almost exactly 25% of the size of the log. He delayed logging code is suppose to aggregate the minimum of 25% of the log or 8MB worth of changes before flushing. That's what really puzzled me - why did a log force write 129MB instead of only 8MB? Essentially what has happened is that no CIL pushes had occurred since the previous tail push which cleared out 25% of the log space. That caused all the new transactions to block because there wasn't log space for them, but they kick the xfsaild to push the tail. However, the xfsaild was not making progress because there were buffers it could not lock and flush, and the xfsbufd could not flush them because they were pinned. As a result, both the xfsaild and the xfsbufd could not move the tail of the log forward without the CIL first committing. The cause of the problem was that the background CIL push, which should happen when 8MB of aggregated changes have been committed, is being held off by the concurrent transaction commit load. The background push does a down_write_trylock() which will fail if there is a concurrent transaction commit holding the push lock in read mode. With 8 CPUs all doing transactions as fast as they can, there was enough concurrent transaction commits to hold off the background push until tail-pushing could no longer free log space, and the halt would occur. It should be noted that there is no reason why it would halt at 25% of log space used by a single CIL checkpoint. This bug could definitely violate the "no transaction should be larger than half the log" requirement and hence result in corruption if the system crashed under heavy load. This sort of bug is exactly the reason why delayed logging was tagged as experimental.... The fix is to start blocking background pushes once the threshold has been exceeded. Rework the threshold calculations to keep the amount of log space a CIL checkpoint can use to below that of the AIL push threshold to avoid the problem completely.

| * xfs: log IO completion workqueue is a high priority queueDave Chinner2010-09-101-1/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The workqueue implementation in 2.6.36-rcX has changed, resulting in the workqueues no longer having dedicated threads for work processing. This has caused severe livelocks under heavy parallel create workloads because the log IO completions have been getting held up behind metadata IO completions. Hence log commits would stall, memory allocation would stall because pages could not be cleaned, and lock contention on the AIL during inode IO completion processing was being seen to slow everything down even further. By making the log Io completion workqueue a high priority workqueue, they are queued ahead of all data/metadata IO completions and processed before the data/metadata completions. Hence the log never gets stalled, and operations needed to clean memory can continue as quickly as possible. This avoids the livelock conditions and allos the system to keep running under heavy load as per normal.

That means we've got around 200 buffers per chain, and searching it is quite expensive. The hash table size needs to increase. Secondly, every time we do a lookup, we promote the buffer we find to the head of the hash chain. This is causing cachelines to be dirtied and causes invalidation of cachelines across all CPUs that may have walked the hash chain recently. hence every walk of the hash chain is effectively a cold cache walk. Remove the promotion to avoid this invalidation. The results are: 1045043.00 21.2% __ticket_spin_lock 326184.00 6.6% _xfs_buf_find A 70% drop in the CPU usage when looking up buffers.

Currently that memory allocation is done while holding the CIL context lock in read mode. This means that if memory allocation takes some time (e.g. enters reclaim), we cannot push on the CIL until the allocation(s) required by formatting complete. This can stall CIL pushes for some time, and once a push is stalled so are all new transaction commits. Fix this splitting the item formatting into two steps. The first step which does the allocation and memcpy() into the allocated buffer is now done outside the CIL context lock, and only the CIL insert is done inside the CIL context lock.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Delayed logging adds some serialisation to the log force process to ensure that it does not deference a bad commit context structure when determining if a CIL push is necessary or not. It does this by grabing the CIL context lock exclusively, then dropping it before pushing the CIL if necessary. This causes serialisation of all log forces and pushes regardless of whether a force is necessary or not. As a result fsync heavy workloads (like dbench) can be significantly slower with delayed logging than without. To avoid this penalty, copy the current sequence from the context to the CIL structure when they are swapped. This allows us to do unlocked checks on the current sequence without having to worry about dereferencing context structures that may have already been freed. Hence we can remove the CIL context locking in the forcing code and only call into the push code if the current context matches the sequence we need to force. By passing the sequence into the push code, we can check the sequence again once we have the CIL lock held exclusive and abort if the sequence has already been pushed. This avoids a lock round-trip and unnecessary CIL pushes when we have racing push calls. The result is that the regression in dbench performance goes away - this change improves dbench performance on a ramdisk from ~2100MB/s to ~2500MB/s. This compares favourably to not using delayed logging which retuns ~2500MB/s for the same workload. Signed-off-by: Dave Chinner <dchinner@redhat.com> Reviewed-by: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de>

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When we need to cover the log, we issue dummy transactions to ensure the current log tail is on disk. Unfortunately we currently use the root inode in the dummy transaction, and the act of committing the transaction dirties the inode at the VFS level. As a result, the VFS writeback of the dirty inode will prevent the filesystem from idling long enough for the log covering state machine to complete. The state machine gets stuck in a loop issuing new dummy transactions to cover the log and never makes progress. To avoid this problem, the dummy transactions should not cause externally visible state changes. To ensure this occurs, make sure that dummy transactions log an unchanging field in the superblock as it's state is never propagated outside the filesystem.

| * xfs: ensure f_ffree returned by statfs() is non-negativeStuart Brodsky2010-08-241-1/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Because of delayed updates to sb_icount field in the super block, it is possible to allocate over maxicount number of inodes. This causes the arithmetic to calculate a negative number of free inodes in user commands like df or stat -f. Since maxicount is a somewhat arbitrary number, a slight over allocation is not critical but user commands should be displayed as 0 or greater and never go negative. To do this the value in the stats buffer f_ffree is capped to never go negative.

| * xfs: handle negative wbc->nr_to_write during sync writebackDave Chinner2010-08-241-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | During data integrity (WB_SYNC_ALL) writeback, wbc->nr_to_write will go negative on inodes with more than 1024 dirty pages due to implementation details of write_cache_pages(). Currently XFS will abort page clustering in writeback once nr_to_write drops below zero, and so for data integrity writeback we will do very inefficient page at a time allocation and IO submission for inodes with large numbers of dirty pages. Fix this by only aborting the page clustering code when wbc->nr_to_write is negative and the sync mode is WB_SYNC_NONE.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Commit 7124fe0a5b619d65b739477b3b55a20bf805b06d ("xfs: validate untrusted inode numbers during lookup") changes the inode lookup code to do btree lookups for untrusted inode numbers. This change made an invalid assumption about the alignment of inodes and hence incorrectly calculated the first inode in the cluster. As a result, some inode numbers were being incorrectly considered invalid when they were actually valid. The issue was not picked up by the xfstests suite because it always runs fsr and dump (the two utilities that utilise the bulkstat interface) on cache hot inodes and hence the lookup code in the cold cache path was not sufficiently exercised to uncover this intermittent problem. Fix the issue by relaxing the btree lookup criteria and then checking if the record returned contains the inode number we are lookup for. If it we get an incorrect record, then the inode number is invalid. Cc: <stable@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Dave Chinner <dchinner@redhat.com> Reviewed-by: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de>

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Under heavy load parallel metadata loads (e.g. dbench), we can fail to mark all the inodes in a cluster being freed as XFS_ISTALE as we skip inodes we cannot get the XFS_ILOCK_EXCL or the flush lock on. When this happens and the inode cluster buffer has already been marked stale and freed, inode reclaim can try to write the inode out as it is dirty and not marked stale. This can result in writing th metadata to an freed extent, or in the case it has already been overwritten trigger a magic number check failure and return an EUCLEAN error such as: Filesystem "ram0": inode 0x442ba1 background reclaim flush failed with 117 Fix this by ensuring that we hoover up all in memory inodes in the cluster and mark them XFS_ISTALE when freeing the cluster.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When we commit a transaction using delayed logging, we need to unlock the items in the transaciton before we unlock the CIL context and allow it to be checkpointed. If we unlock them after we release the CIl context lock, the CIL can checkpoint and complete before we free the log items. This breaks stale buffer item unlock and unpin processing as there is an implicit assumption that the unlock will occur before the unpin. Also, some log items need to store the LSN of the transaction commit in the item (inodes and EFIs) and so can race with other transaction completions if we don't prevent the CIL from checkpointing before the unlock occurs.

Errors from ->write_begin and write_end can now be handled correctly because we can actually get rid of the delalloc extents while previous the buffer state was stipped in block_invalidatepage. There is still no error handling for ->direct_IO, because doing so will need some major restructuring given that we only have the iolock shared and do not hold i_mutex at all. Fortunately leaving the normally allocated blocks behind there is not a major issue and this will get cleaned up by xfs_free_eofblock later.

For a small I/O size direct I/O workload on a consumer grade SSD, such as the untar of a kernel tree inside qemu this patch gives speedups of about 5%.

To do that add iocb and result fields to struct xfs_ioend, so that we can call aio_complete from xfs_end_io after the extent conversion has happened.

It is used in xfs_bwrite and when writing out delayed buffers. In xfs_bwrite it we can de-virtualize the call easily as b_strat is set a few lines above the call to xfs_buf_iostrategy. For the delayed buffers the rationale is a bit more complicated: - there are three callers of xfs_buf_delwri_queue, which places buffers on the delwri list: (1) xfs_bdwrite - this sets up b_strat, so it's fine (2) xfs_buf_iorequest. None of the callers can have XBF_DELWRI set: - xlog_bdstrat is only used for log buffers, which are never delwri - _xfs_buf_read explicitly clears the delwri flag - xfs_buf_iodone_work retries log buffers only - xfsbdstrat - only used for reads, superblock writes without the delwri flag, log I/O and file zeroing with explicitly allocated buffers. - xfs_buf_iostrategy - only calls xfs_buf_iorequest if b_strat is not set (3) xfs_buf_unlock - only puts the buffer on the delwri list if the DELWRI flag is already set. The DELWRI flag is only ever set in xfs_bwrite, xfs_buf_iodone_callbacks, or xfs_trans_log_buf. For xfs_buf_iodone_callbacks and xfs_trans_log_buf we require an initialized buf item, which means b_strat was set to xfs_bdstrat_cb in xfs_buf_item_init. Conclusion: we can just get rid of the callback and replace it with explicit calls to xfs_bdstrat_cb.
