2013-08-12xfs: Introduce a new structure to hold transaction reservation itemsJie Liu
Introduce a new structure xfs_trans_res to hold transaction reservation item info per log ticket. We also need to improve xfs_trans_resv_calc() by initializing the log count as well as log flags for permanent log reservation.

2013-08-12xfs: make struct xfs_perag kernel onlyDave Chinner
The struct xfs_perag has many kernel-only definitions in it, requiring a __KERNEL__ guard so userspace can use it to. Move it to xfs_mount.h so that it it kernel-only, and let userspace redefine it's own version of the structure containing only what it needs. This gets rid of another __KERNEL__ check in the XFS header files.

2013-08-12xfs: introduce xfs_sb.c for sharing with libxfsDave Chinner
xfs_mount.c is shared with userspace, but the only functions that are shared are to do with physical superblock manipulations. This means that less than 25% of the xfs_mount.c code is actually shared with userspace. Move all the superblock functions to xfs_sb.c and share that instead with libxfs. Note that this will leave all the in-core transaction related superblock counter modifications in xfs_mount.c as none of that is shared with userspace. With a few more small changes, xfs_mount.h won't need to be shared with userspace anymore, either.

2013-04-27xfs: add CRC checks to the superblockDave Chinner
With the addition of CRCs, there is such a wide and varied change to the on disk format that it makes sense to bump the superblock version number rather than try to use feature bits for all the new functionality. This commit introduces all the new superblock fields needed for all the new functionality: feature masks similar to ext4, separate project quota inodes, a LSN field for recovery and the CRC field. This commit does not bump the superblock version number, however. That will be done as a separate commit at the end of the series after all the new functionality is present so we switch it all on in one commit. This means that we can slowly introduce the changes without them being active and hence maintain bisectability of the tree. This patch is based on a patch originally written by myself back from SGI days, which was subsequently modified by Christoph Hellwig. There is relatively little of that patch remaining, but the history of the patch still should be acknowledged here.

2013-02-01xfs: refactor space log reservation for XFS_TRANS_ATTR_SETJeff Liu
Currently, we calculate the attribute set transaction log space reservation at runtime in two parts: 1) XFS_ATTRSET_LOG_RES() which is calcuated out at mount time. 2) ((ext * (mp)->m_sb.sb_sectsize) + \ (ext * XFS_FSB_TO_B((mp), XFS_BM_MAXLEVELS(mp, XFS_ATTR_FORK))) + \ (128 * (ext + (ext * XFS_BM_MAXLEVELS(mp, XFS_ATTR_FORK)))))) which is calculated out at runtime since it depend on the given extent length in blocks. This patch renamed XFS_ATTRSET_LOG_RES(mp) to XFS_ATTRSETM_LOG_RES(mp) to indicate that it is figured out at mount time. Introduce XFS_ATTRSETRT_LOG_RES(mp) which would be used to calculate out the unit of the log space reservation for one block.

2012-11-15xfs: convert buffer verifiers to an ops structure.Dave Chinner
To separate the verifiers from iodone functions and associate read and write verifiers at the same time, introduce a buffer verifier operations structure to the xfs_buf. This avoids the need for assigning the write verifier, clearing the iodone function and re-running ioend processing in the read verifier, and gets rid of the nasty "b_pre_io" name for the write verifier function pointer. If we ever need to, it will also be easier to add further content specific callbacks to a buffer with an ops structure in place. We also avoid needing to export verifier functions, instead we can simply export the ops structures for those that are needed outside the function they are defined in. This patch also fixes a directory block readahead verifier issue it exposed. This patch also adds ops callbacks to the inode/alloc btree blocks initialised by growfs.

2012-10-17xfs: xfs_sync_data is redundant.Dave Chinner
We don't do any data writeback from XFS any more - the VFS is completely responsible for that, including for freeze. We can replace the remaining caller with a VFS level function that achieves the same thing, but without conflicting with current writeback work. This means we can remove the flush_work and xfs_flush_inodes() - the VFS functionality completely replaces the internal flush queue for doing this writeback work in a separate context to avoid stack overruns. This does have one complication - it cannot be called with page locks held. Hence move the flushing of delalloc space when ENOSPC occurs back up into xfs_file_aio_buffered_write when we don't hold any locks that will stall writeback. Unfortunately, writeback_inodes_sb_if_idle() is not sufficient to trigger delalloc conversion fast enough to prevent spurious ENOSPC whent here are hundreds of writers, thousands of small files and GBs of free RAM. Hence we need to use sync_sb_inodes() to block callers while we wait for writeback like the previous xfs_flush_inodes implementation did. That means we have to hold the s_umount lock here, but because this call can nest inside i_mutex (the parent directory in the create case, held by the VFS), we have to use down_read_trylock() to avoid potential deadlocks. In practice, this trylock will succeed on almost every attempt as unmount/remount type operations are exceedingly rare. Note: we always need to pass a count of zero to generic_file_buffered_write() as the previously written byte count. We only do this by accident before this patch by the virtue of ret always being zero when there are no errors. Make this explicit rather than needing to specifically zero ret in the ENOSPC retry case.

2012-05-14xfs: Do background CIL flushes via a workqueueDave Chinner
Doing background CIL flushes adds significant latency to whatever async transaction that triggers it. To avoid blocking async transactions on things like waiting for log buffer IO to complete, move the CIL push off into a workqueue. By moving the push work into a workqueue, we remove all the latency that the commit adds from the foreground transaction commit path. This also means that single threaded workloads won't do the CIL push procssing, leaving them more CPU to do more async transactions. To do this, we need to keep track of the sequence number we have pushed work for. This avoids having many transaction commits attempting to schedule work for the same sequence, and ensures that we only ever have one push (background or forced) in progress at a time. It also means that we don't need to take the CIL lock in write mode to check for potential background push races, which reduces lock contention. To avoid potential issues with "smart" IO schedulers, don't use the workqueue for log force triggered flushes. Instead, do them directly so that the log IO is done directly by the process issuing the log force and so doesn't get stuck on IO elevator queue idling incorrectly delaying the log IO from the workqueue.

2012-05-14xfs: implement freezing by emptying the AILChristoph Hellwig
Now that we write back all metadata either synchronously or through the AIL we can simply implement metadata freezing in terms of emptying the AIL. The implementation for this is fairly simply and straight-forward: A new routine is added that asks the xfsaild to push the AIL to the end and waits for it to complete and send a wakeup. The routine will then loop if the AIL is not actually empty, and continue to do so until the AIL is compeltely empty. We keep an inode reclaim pass in the freeze process to avoid having memory pressure have to reclaim inodes that require dirtying the filesystem to be reclaimed after the freeze has completed. This means we can also treat unmount in the exact same way as freeze. As an upside we can now remove the radix tree based inode writeback and xfs_unmountfs_writesb.

2011-04-08xfs: introduce background inode reclaim workDave Chinner
Background inode reclaim needs to run more frequently that the XFS syncd work is run as 30s is too long between optimal reclaim runs. Add a new periodic work item to the xfs syncd workqueue to run a fast, non-blocking inode reclaim scan. Background inode reclaim is kicked by the act of marking inodes for reclaim. When an AG is first marked as having reclaimable inodes, the background reclaim work is kicked. It will continue to run periodically untill it detects that there are no more reclaimable inodes. It will be kicked again when the first inode is queued for reclaim. To ensure shrinker based inode reclaim throttles to the inode cleaning and reclaim rate but still reclaim inodes efficiently, make it kick the background inode reclaim so that when we are low on memory we are trying to reclaim inodes as efficiently as possible. This kick shoul d not be necessary, but it will protect against failures to kick the background reclaim when inodes are first dirtied. To provide the rate throttling, make the shrinker pass do synchronous inode reclaim so that it blocks on inodes under IO. This means that the shrinker will reclaim inodes rather than just skipping over them, but it does not adversely affect the rate of reclaim because most dirty inodes are already under IO due to the background reclaim work the shrinker kicked. These two modifications solve one of the two OOM killer invocations Chris Mason reported recently when running a stress testing script. The particular workload trigger for the OOM killer invocation is where there are more threads than CPUs all unlinking files in an extremely memory constrained environment. Unlike other solutions, this one does not have a performance impact on performance when memory is not constrained or the number of concurrent threads operating is <= to the number of CPUs.

2011-04-08xfs: convert ENOSPC inode flushing to use new syncd workqueueDave Chinner
On of the problems with the current inode flush at ENOSPC is that we queue a flush per ENOSPC event, regardless of how many are already queued. Thi can result in hundreds of queued flushes, most of which simply burn CPU scanned and do no real work. This simply slows down allocation at ENOSPC. We really only need one active flush at a time, and we can easily implement that via the new xfs_syncd_wq. All we need to do is queue a flush if one is not already active, then block waiting for the currently active flush to complete. The result is that we only ever have a single ENOSPC inode flush active at a time and this greatly reduces the overhead of ENOSPC processing. On my 2p test machine, this results in tests exercising ENOSPC conditions running significantly faster - 042 halves execution time, 083 drops from 60s to 5s, etc - while not introducing test regressions. This allows us to remove the old xfssyncd threads and infrastructure as they are no longer used.

2011-04-08xfs: introduce a xfssyncd workqueueDave Chinner
All of the work xfssyncd does is background functionality. There is no need for a thread per filesystem to do this work - it can al be managed by a global workqueue now they manage concurrency effectively. Introduce a new gglobal xfssyncd workqueue, and convert the periodic work to use this new functionality. To do this, use a delayed work construct to schedule the next running of the periodic sync work for the filesystem. When the sync work is complete, queue a new delayed work for the next running of the sync work. For laptop mode, we wait on completion for the sync works, so ensure that the sync work queuing interface can flush and wait for work to complete to enable the work queue infrastructure to replace the current sequence number and wakeup that is used. Because the sync work does non-trivial amounts of work, mark the new work queue as CPU intensive.

2011-01-04xfs: dynamic speculative EOF preallocationDave Chinner
Currently the size of the speculative preallocation during delayed allocation is fixed by either the allocsize mount option of a default size. We are seeing a lot of cases where we need to recommend using the allocsize mount option to prevent fragmentation when buffered writes land in the same AG. Rather than using a fixed preallocation size by default (up to 64k), make it dynamic by basing it on the current inode size. That way the EOF preallocation will increase as the file size increases. Hence for streaming writes we are much more likely to get large preallocations exactly when we need it to reduce fragementation. For default settings, the size of the initial extents is determined by the number of parallel writers and the amount of memory in the machine.

Hence as the filesystem nears full, the maximum dynamic prealloc size іs reduced according to this table (based on 4k block size): freespace max prealloc size >5% full extent (8GB) 4-5% 2GB (8GB >> 2) 3-4% 1GB (8GB >> 3) 2-3% 512MB (8GB >> 4) 1-2% 256MB (8GB >> 5) <1% 128MB (8GB >> 6) This should reduce the amount of space held in speculative preallocation for such cases. The allocsize mount option turns off the dynamic behaviour and fixes the prealloc size to whatever the mount option specifies. i.e. the behaviour is unchanged.

2010-07-20xfs: convert inode shrinker to per-filesystem contextsDave Chinner
Now the shrinker passes us a context, wire up a shrinker context per filesystem. This allows us to remove the global mount list and the locking problems that introduced. It also means that a shrinker call does not need to traverse clean filesystems before finding a filesystem with reclaimable inodes. This significantly reduces scanning overhead when lots of filesystems are present. Signed-off-by: Dave Chinner <dchinner@redhat.com> Reviewed-by: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de>
2010-05-24xfs: Introduce delayed logging core codeDave Chinner
The delayed logging code only changes in-memory structures and as such can be enabled and disabled with a mount option. Add the mount option and emit a warning that this is an experimental feature that should not be used in production yet. We also need infrastructure to track committed items that have not yet been written to the log. This is what the Committed Item List (CIL) is for. The log item also needs to be extended to track the current log vector, the associated memory buffer and it's location in the Commit Item List. Extend the log item and log vector structures to enable this tracking. To maintain the current log format for transactions with delayed logging, we need to introduce a checkpoint transaction and a context for tracking each checkpoint from initiation to transaction completion. This includes adding a log ticket for tracking space log required/used by the context checkpoint. To track all the changes we need an io vector array per log item, rather than a single array for the entire transaction. Using the new log vector structure for this requires two passes - the first to allocate the log vector structures and chain them together, and the second to fill them out. This log vector chain can then be passed to the CIL for formatting, pinning and insertion into the CIL. Formatting of the log vector chain is relatively simple - it's just a loop over the iovecs on each log vector, but it is made slightly more complex because we re-write the iovec after the copy to point back at the memory buffer we just copied into. This code also needs to pin log items. If the log item is not already tracked in this checkpoint context, then it needs to be pinned. Otherwise it is already pinned and we don't need to pin it again. The only other complexity is calculating the amount of new log space the formatting has consumed. This needs to be accounted to the transaction in progress, and the accounting is made more complex becase we need also to steal space from it for log metadata in the checkpoint transaction. Calculate all this at insert time and update all the tickets, counters, etc correctly. Once we've formatted all the log items in the transaction, attach the busy extents to the checkpoint context so the busy extents live until checkpoint completion and can be processed at that point in time. Transactions can then be freed at this point in time. Now we need to issue checkpoints - we are tracking the amount of log space used by the items in the CIL, so we can trigger background checkpoints when the space usage gets to a certain threshold. Otherwise, checkpoints need ot be triggered when a log synchronisation point is reached - a log force event. Because the log write code already handles chained log vectors, writing the transaction is trivial, too. Construct a transaction header, add it to the head of the chain and write it into the log, then issue a commit record write. Then we can release the checkpoint log ticket and attach the context to the log buffer so it can be called during Io completion to complete the checkpoint. We also need to allow for synchronising multiple in-flight checkpoints. This is needed for two things - the first is to ensure that checkpoint commit records appear in the log in the correct sequence order (so they are replayed in the correct order). The second is so that xfs_log_force_lsn() operates correctly and only flushes and/or waits for the specific sequence it was provided with. To do this we need a wait variable and a list tracking the checkpoint commits in progress. We can walk this list and wait for the checkpoints to change state or complete easily, an this provides the necessary synchronisation for correct operation in both cases.

2010-04-29xfs: add a shrinker to background inode reclaimDave Chinner
On low memory boxes or those with highmem, kernel can OOM before the background reclaims inodes via xfssyncd. Add a shrinker to run inode reclaim so that it inode reclaim is expedited when memory is low. This is more complex than it needs to be because the VM folk don't want a context added to the shrinker infrastructure. Hence we need to add a global list of XFS mount structures so the shrinker can traverse them. Signed-off-by: Dave Chinner <dchinner@redhat.com> Reviewed-by: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de>
