* fs/block_dev.c: fix performance regression in O_DIRECT|O_SYNC writes to ↵Anton Blanchard2010-04-241-5/+12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | block devices We are seeing a large regression in database performance on recent kernels. 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 makes O_SYNC writes to block devices acquire i_mutex for syncing. If we really care about this, we can make block_fsync() drop the i_mutex and reacquire it before it returns. Thanks Jan for such a good commit message! As well as dropping i_mutex, Christoph suggests we should remove the call to sync_blockdev(): > sync_blockdev is an overcomplicated alias for filemap_write_and_wait on > the block device inode, which is exactly what we did just before calling > into ->fsync The patch below incorporates both suggestions.

* 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.

* | 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.

* | md: make devices disappear when they are no longer needed.NeilBrown2009-01-091-0/+14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently md devices, once created, never disappear until the module is unloaded. This is essentially because the gendisk holds a reference to the mddev, and the mddev holds a reference to the gendisk, this a circular reference. If we drop the reference from mddev to gendisk, then we need to ensure that the mddev is destroyed when the gendisk is destroyed. However it is not possible to hook into the gendisk destruction process to enable this. So we drop the reference from the gendisk to the mddev and destroy the gendisk when the mddev gets destroyed. However this has a complication. Between the call __blkdev_get->get_gendisk->kobj_lookup->md_probe and the call __blkdev_get->md_open there is no obvious way to hold a reference on the mddev any more, so unless something is done, it will disappear and gendisk will be destroyed prematurely. Also, once we decide to destroy the mddev, there will be an unlockable moment before the gendisk is unlinked (blk_unregister_region) during which a new reference to the gendisk can be created. We need to ensure that this reference can not be used. i.e. the ->open must fail. So: 1/ in md_probe we set a flag in the mddev (hold_active) which indicates that the array should be treated as active, even though there are no references, and no appearance of activity. This is cleared by md_release when the device is closed if it is no longer needed. This ensures that the gendisk will survive between md_probe and md_open. 2/ In md_open we check if the mddev we expect to open matches the gendisk that we did open. If there is a mismatch we return -ERESTARTSYS and modify __blkdev_get to retry from the top in that case. In the -ERESTARTSYS sys case we make sure to wait until the old gendisk (that we succeeded in opening) is really gone so we loop at most once. Some udev configurations will always open an md device when it first appears. If we allow an md device that was just created by an open to disappear on an immediate close, then this can race with such udev configurations and result in an infinite loop the device being opened and closed, then re-open due to the 'ADD' even from the first open, and then close and so on. So we make sure an md device, once created by an open, remains active at least until some md 'ioctl' has been made on it. This means that all normal usage of md devices will allow them to disappear promptly when not needed, but the worst that an incorrect usage will do it cause an inactive md device to be left in existence (it can easily be removed). As an array can be stopped by writing to a sysfs attribute echo clear > /sys/block/mdXXX/md/array_state we need to use scheduled work for deleting the gendisk and other kobjects. This allows us to wait for any pending gendisk deletion to complete by simply calling flush_scheduled_work(). Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>

* block: fix __blkdev_get() for removable devicesTejun Heo2008-11-061-12/+11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Commit 0762b8bde9729f10f8e6249809660ff2ec3ad735 moved disk_get_part() in front of recursive get on the whole disk, which caused removable devices to try disk_get_part() before rescanning after a new media is inserted, which might fail legit open attempts or give the old partition. This patch fixes the problem by moving disk_get_part() after __blkdev_get() on the whole disk. This problem was spotted by Borislav Petkov.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | To keep the size of changesets sane we split the switch by drivers; to keep the damn thing bisectable we do the following: 1) rename the affected methods, add ones with correct prototypes, make (few) callers handle both. That's this changeset. 2) for each driver convert to new methods. *ALL* drivers are converted in this series. 3) kill the old (renamed) methods. Note that it _is_ a flagday; all in-tree drivers are converted and by the end of this series no trace of old methods remain. The only reason why we do that this way is to keep the damn thing bisectable and allow per-driver debugging if anything goes wrong.

* Call flush_disk() after detecting an online resize.Andrew Patterson2008-10-091-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We call flush_disk() to make sure the buffer cache for the disk is flushed after a disk resize. There are two resize cases, growing and shrinking. Given that users can shrink/then grow a disk before revalidate_disk() is called, we treat the grow case identically to shrinking. We need to flush the buffer cache after an online shrink because, as James Bottomley puts it, The two use cases for shrinking I can see are 1. planned: the fs is already shrunk to within the new boundaries and all data is relocated, so invalidate is fine (any dirty buffers that might exist in the shrunk region are there only because they were relocated but not yet written to their original location). 2. unplanned: In this case, the fs is probably toast, so whether we invalidate or not isn't going to make a whole lot of difference; it's still going to try to read or write from sectors beyond the new size and get I/O errors. Immediately invalidating shrunk disks will cause errors for outstanding I/Os for reads/write beyond the new end of the disk to be generated earlier then if we waited for the normal buffer cache operation. It also removes a potential security hole where we might keep old data around from beyond the end of the shrunk disk if the disk was not invalidated.

* Added flush_disk to factor out common buffer cache flushing code.Andrew Patterson2008-10-091-5/+27
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | We need to be able to flush the buffer cache for for more than just when a disk is changed, so we factor out common cache flush code in check_disk_change() to an internal flush_disk() routine. This routine will then be used for both disk changes and disk resizes (in a later patch). Include the disk name in the text indicating that there are busy inodes on the device and increase the KERN severity of the message.

* Adjust block device size after an online resize of a disk.Andrew Patterson2008-10-091-0/+37
| | | | | | | | | | The revalidate_disk routine now checks if a disk has been resized by comparing the gendisk capacity to the bdev inode size. If they are different (usually because the disk has been resized underneath the kernel) the bdev inode size is adjusted to match the capacity.
