* [XFS] Replace custom AIL linked-list code with struct list_headJosef 'Jeff' Sipek2008-04-181-89/+60
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Replace the xfs_ail_entry_t with a struct list_head and clean the surrounding code up. Also fixes a livelock in xfs_trans_first_push_ail() by terminating the loop at the head of the list correctly.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | wakeups Idle state is not being detected properly by the xfsaild push code. The current idle state is detected by an empty list which may never happen with mostly idle filesystem or one using lazy superblock counters. A single dirty item in the list that exists beyond the push target can result repeated looping attempting to push up to the target because it fails to check if the push target has been acheived or not. Fix by considering a dirty list with everything past the target as an idle state and set the timeout appropriately.

* [XFS] Make xfs_ail_check check less by defaultDavid Chinner2008-02-071-9/+28
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Checking the entire AIL on every insert and remove is prohibitively expensive - the sustained sequntial create rate on a single disk drops from about 1800/s to 60/s because of this checking resulting in the xfslogd becoming cpu bound. By default on debug builds, only check the next and previous entries in the list to ensure they are ordered correctly. If you really want, define XFS_TRANS_DEBUG to use the old behaviour.

* [XFS] Move AIL pushing into it's own threadDavid Chinner2008-02-071-91/+178
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When many hundreds to thousands of threads all try to do simultaneous transactions and the log is in a tail-pushing situation (i.e. full), we can get multiple threads walking the AIL list and contending on the AIL lock. The AIL push is, in effect, a simple I/O dispatch algorithm complicated by the ordering constraints placed on it by the transaction subsystem. It really does not need multiple threads to push on it - even when only a single CPU is pushing the AIL, it can push the I/O out far faster that pretty much any disk subsystem can handle. So, to avoid contention problems stemming from multiple list walkers, move the list walk off into another thread and simply provide a "target" to push to. When a thread requires a push, it sets the target and wakes the push thread, then goes to sleep waiting for the required amount of space to become available in the log. This mechanism should also be a lot fairer under heavy load as the waiters will queue in arrival order, rather than queuing in "who completed a push first" order. Also, by moving the pushing to a separate thread we can do more effectively overload detection and prevention as we can keep context from loop iteration to loop iteration. That is, we can push only part of the list each loop and not have to loop back to the start of the list every time we run. This should also help by reducing the number of items we try to lock and/or push items that we cannot move. Note that this patch is not intended to solve the inefficiencies in the AIL structure and the associated issues with extremely large list contents. That needs to be addresses separately; parallel access would cause problems to any new structure as well, so I'm only aiming to isolate the structure from unbounded parallelism here.

* [XFS] Radix tree based inode cachingDavid Chinner2007-10-151-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | One of the perpetual scaling problems XFS has is indexing it's incore inodes. We currently uses hashes and the default hash sizes chosen can only ever be a tradeoff between memory consumption and the maximum realistic size of the cache. As a result, anyone who has millions of inodes cached on a filesystem needs to tunes the size of the cache via the ihashsize mount option to allow decent scalability with inode cache operations. A further problem is the separate inode cluster hash, whose size is based on the ihashsize but is smaller, and so under certain conditions (sparse cluster cache population) this can become a limitation long before the inode hash is causing issues. The following patchset removes the inode hash and cluster hash and replaces them with radix trees to avoid the scalability limitations of the hashes. It also reduces the size of the inodes by 3 pointers....

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | xfs_trans_delete_ail xfs_trans_update_ail and xfs_trans_delete_ail get called with the AIL lock held, and release it. Add lock annotations to these two functions so that sparse can check callers for lock pairing, and so that sparse will not complain about these functions since they intentionally use locks in this manner.

* Linux-2.6.12-rc2v2.6.12-rc2Linus Torvalds2005-04-161-0/+596
Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!
