2014-07-16sched: Remove proliferation of wait_on_bit() action functionsNeilBrown
The current "wait_on_bit" interface requires an 'action' function to be provided which does the actual waiting. There are over 20 such functions, many of them identical. Most cases can be satisfied by one of just two functions, one which uses io_schedule() and one which just uses schedule(). So: Rename wait_on_bit and wait_on_bit_lock to wait_on_bit_action and wait_on_bit_lock_action to make it explicit that they need an action function. Introduce new wait_on_bit{,_lock} and wait_on_bit{,_lock}_io which are *not* given an action function but implicitly use a standard one. The decision to error-out if a signal is pending is now made based on the 'mode' argument rather than being encoded in the action function. All instances of the old wait_on_bit and wait_on_bit_lock which can use the new version have been changed accordingly and their action functions have been discarded. wait_on_bit{_lock} does not return any specific error code in the event of a signal so the caller must check for non-zero and interpolate their own error code as appropriate. The wait_on_bit() call in __fscache_wait_on_invalidate() was ambiguous as it specified TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE but used fscache_wait_bit_interruptible as an action function. David Howells confirms this should be uniformly "uninterruptible" The main remaining user of wait_on_bit{,_lock}_action is NFS which needs to use a freezer-aware schedule() call. A comment in fs/gfs2/glock.c notes that having multiple 'action' functions is useful as they display differently in the 'wchan' field of 'ps'. (and /proc/$PID/wchan). As the new bit_wait{,_io} functions are tagged "__sched", they will not show up at all, but something higher in the stack. So the distinction will still be visible, only with different function names (gds2_glock_wait versus gfs2_glock_dq_wait in the gfs2/glock.c case). Since first version of this patch (against 3.15) two new action functions appeared, on in NFS and one in CIFS. CIFS also now uses an action function that makes the same freezer aware schedule call as NFS.

2013-12-08jbd2: don't BUG but return ENOSPC if a handle runs out of spaceTheodore Ts'o
If a handle runs out of space, we currently stop the kernel with a BUG in jbd2_journal_dirty_metadata(). This makes it hard to figure out what might be going on. So return an error of ENOSPC, so we can let the file system layer figure out what is going on, to make it more likely we can get useful debugging information). This should make it easier to debug problems such as the one which was reported by: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=44731 The only two callers of this function are ext4_handle_dirty_metadata() and ocfs2_journal_dirty(). The ocfs2 function will trigger a BUG_ON(), which means there will be no change in behavior. The ext4 function will call ext4_error_inode() which will print the useful debugging information and then handle the situation using ext4's error handling mechanisms (i.e., which might mean halting the kernel or remounting the file system read-only). Also, since both file systems already call WARN_ON(), drop the WARN_ON from jbd2_journal_dirty_metadata() to avoid two stack traces from being displayed.

2013-07-01jbd2: invalidate handle if jbd2_journal_restart() failsTheodore Ts'o
If jbd2_journal_restart() fails the handle will have been disconnected from the current transaction. In this situation, the handle must not be used for for any jbd2 function other than jbd2_journal_stop(). Enforce this with by treating a handle which has a NULL transaction pointer as an aborted handle, and issue a kernel warning if jbd2_journal_extent(), jbd2_journal_get_write_access(), jbd2_journal_dirty_metadata(), etc. is called with an invalid handle. This commit also fixes a bug where jbd2_journal_stop() would trip over a kernel jbd2 assertion check when trying to free an invalid handle.

2013-07-01jbd2: fix theoretical race in jbd2__journal_restartTheodore Ts'o
Once we decrement transaction->t_updates, if this is the last handle holding the transaction from closing, and once we release the t_handle_lock spinlock, it's possible for the transaction to commit and be released. In practice with normal kernels, this probably won't happen, since the commit happens in a separate kernel thread and it's unlikely this could all happen within the space of a few CPU cycles. On the other hand, with a real-time kernel, this could potentially happen, so save the tid found in transaction->t_tid before we release t_handle_lock. It would require an insane configuration, such as one where the jbd2 thread was set to a very high real-time priority, perhaps because a high priority real-time thread is trying to read or write to a file system. But some people who use real-time kernels have been known to do insane things, including controlling laser-wielding industrial robots. :-) Signed-off-by: "Theodore Ts'o" <tytso@mit.edu> Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org

2013-06-04jbd2: transaction reservation supportJan Kara
In some cases we cannot start a transaction because of locking constraints and passing started transaction into those places is not handy either because we could block transaction commit for too long. Transaction reservation is designed to solve these issues. It reserves a handle with given number of credits in the journal and the handle can be later attached to the running transaction without blocking on commit or checkpointing. Reserved handles do not block transaction commit in any way, they only reduce maximum size of the running transaction (because we have to always be prepared to accomodate request for attaching reserved handle).

2013-06-04jbd2: cleanup needed free block estimates when starting a transactionJan Kara
__jbd2_log_space_left() and jbd_space_needed() were kind of odd. jbd_space_needed() accounted also credits needed for currently committing transaction while it didn't account for credits needed for control blocks. __jbd2_log_space_left() then accounted for control blocks as a fraction of free space. Since results of these two functions are always only compared against each other, this works correct but is somewhat strange. Move the estimates so that jbd_space_needed() returns number of blocks needed for a transaction including control blocks and __jbd2_log_space_left() returns free space in the journal (with the committing transaction already subtracted).

2013-06-04jbd2: refine waiting for shadow buffersJan Kara
Currently when we add a buffer to a transaction, we wait until the buffer is removed from BJ_Shadow list (so that we prevent any changes to the buffer that is just written to the journal). This can take unnecessarily long as a lot happens between the time the buffer is submitted to the journal and the time when we remove the buffer from BJ_Shadow list. (e.g. We wait for all data buffers in the transaction, we issue a cache flush, etc.) Also this creates a dependency of do_get_write_access() on transaction commit (namely waiting for data IO to complete) which we want to avoid when implementing transaction reservation. So we modify commit code to set new BH_Shadow flag when temporary shadowing buffer is created and we clear that flag once IO on that buffer is complete. This allows do_get_write_access() to wait only for BH_Shadow bit and thus removes the dependency on data IO completion.

When writing metadata to the journal, we create temporary buffer heads for that task. We also attach journal heads to these buffer heads but the only purpose of the journal heads is to keep buffers linked in transaction's BJ_IO list. We remove the need for journal heads by reusing buffer_head's b_assoc_buffers list for that purpose. Also since BJ_IO list is just a temporary list for transaction commit, we use a private list in jbd2_journal_commit_transaction() for that thus removing BJ_IO list from transaction completely.

2012-09-26jbd2: fix assertion failure in commit code due to lacking transaction creditsJan Kara
ext4 users of data=journal mode with blocksize < pagesize were occasionally hitting assertion failure in jbd2_journal_commit_transaction() checking whether the transaction has at least as many credits reserved as buffers attached. The core of the problem is that when a file gets truncated, buffers that still need checkpointing or that are attached to the committing transaction are left with buffer_mapped set. When this happens to buffers beyond i_size attached to a page stradding i_size, subsequent write extending the file will see these buffers and as they are mapped (but underlying blocks were freed) things go awry from here. The assertion failure just coincidentally (and in this case luckily as we would start corrupting filesystem) triggers due to journal_head not being properly cleaned up as well. We fix the problem by unmapping buffers if possible (in lots of cases we just need a buffer attached to a transaction as a place holder but it must not be written out anyway). And in one case, we just have to bite the bullet and wait for transaction commit to finish. CC: Josef Bacik <jbacik@fusionio.com> Signed-off-by: Jan Kara <jack@suse.cz>

(Originally we had hopped to remove the use of s_dirt from ext4 during this merge window, but his patches had some bugs, so I ultimately ended dropping them from the ext4 tree.)" * tag 'ext4_for_linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tytso/ext4: (66 commits) vfs: remove unused superblock helpers mm: export dirty_writeback_interval ext4: remove useless s_dirt assignment ext4: write superblock only once on unmount ext4: do not mark superblock as dirty unnecessarily ext4: correct ext4_punch_hole return codes ext4: remove restrictive checks for EOFBLOCKS_FL ext4: always set then trimmed blocks count into len ext4: fix trimmed block count accunting ext4: fix start and len arguments handling in ext4_trim_fs() ext4: update s_free_{inodes,blocks}_count during online resize ext4: change some printk() calls to use ext4_msg() instead ext4: avoid output message interleaving in ext4_error_<foo>() ext4: remove trailing newlines from ext4_msg() and ext4_error() messages ext4: add no_printk argument validation, fix fallout ext4: remove redundant "EXT4-fs: " from uses of ext4_msg ext4: give more helpful error message in ext4_ext_rm_leaf() ext4: remove unused code from ext4_ext_map_blocks() ext4: rewrite punch hole to use ext4_ext_remove_space() jbd2: cleanup journal tail after transaction commit ...

There is normally only a handful of these active at any one time, but putting them in a separate slab cache makes debugging memory corruption problems easier.

2012-02-20jbd2: clear BH_Delay & BH_Unwritten in journal_unmap_bufferEric Sandeen
journal_unmap_buffer()'s zap_buffer: code clears a lot of buffer head state ala discard_buffer(), but does not touch _Delay or _Unwritten as discard_buffer() does. This can be problematic in some areas of the ext4 code which assume that if they have found a buffer marked unwritten or delay, then it's a live one. Perhaps those spots should check whether it is mapped as well, but if jbd2 is going to tear down a buffer, let's really tear it down completely. Without this I get some fsx failures on sub-page-block filesystems up until v3.2, at which point 4e96b2dbbf1d7e81f22047a50f862555a6cb87cb and 189e868fa8fdca702eb9db9d8afc46b5cb9144c9 make the failures go away, because buried within that large change is some more flag clearing. I still think it's worth doing in jbd2, since ->invalidatepage leads here directly, and it's the right place to clear away these flags.

2012-01-04jbd2: fix hung processes in jbd2_journal_lock_updates()Jan Kara
Toshiyuki Okajima found out that when running for ((i=0; i < 100000; i++)); do if ((i%2 == 0)); then chattr +j /mnt/file else chattr -j /mnt/file fi echo "0" >> /mnt/file done process sometimes hangs indefinitely in jbd2_journal_lock_updates(). Toshiyuki identified that the following race happens: jbd2_journal_lock_updates() |jbd2_journal_stop() ---------------------------------------+--------------------------------------- write_lock(&journal->j_state_lock) | . ++journal->j_barrier_count | . spin_lock(&tran->t_handle_lock) | . atomic_read(&tran->t_updates) //not 0 | | atomic_dec_and_test(&tran->t_updates) | // t_updates = 0 | wake_up(&journal->j_wait_updates) prepare_to_wait() | // no process is woken up. spin_unlock(&tran->t_handle_lock) | write_unlock(&journal->j_state_lock) | schedule() // never return | We fix the problem by first calling prepare_to_wait() and only after that checking t_updates in jbd2_journal_lock_updates().

2011-09-04jbd2: add debugging information to jbd2_journal_dirty_metadata()Theodore Ts'o
Add debugging information in case jbd2_journal_dirty_metadata() is called with a buffer_head which didn't have jbd2_journal_get_write_access() called on it, or if the journal_head has the wrong transaction in it. In addition, return an error code. This won't change anything for ocfs2, which will BUG_ON() the non-zero exit code. For ext4, the caller of this function is ext4_handle_dirty_metadata(), and on seeing a non-zero return code, will call __ext4_journal_stop(), which will print the function and line number of the (buggy) calling function and abort the journal. This will allow us to recover instead of bug halting, which is better from a robustness and reliability point of view. Signed-off-by: "Theodore Ts'o" <tytso@mit.edu>
2011-06-13jbd2: Fix oops in jbd2_journal_remove_journal_head()Jan Kara
jbd2_journal_remove_journal_head() can oops when trying to access journal_head returned by bh2jh(). This is caused for example by the following race: TASK1 TASK2 jbd2_journal_commit_transaction() ... processing t_forget list __jbd2_journal_refile_buffer(jh); if (!jh->b_transaction) { jbd_unlock_bh_state(bh); jbd2_journal_try_to_free_buffers() jbd2_journal_grab_journal_head(bh) jbd_lock_bh_state(bh) __journal_try_to_free_buffer() jbd2_journal_put_journal_head(jh) jbd2_journal_remove_journal_head(bh); jbd2_journal_put_journal_head() in TASK2 sees that b_jcount == 0 and buffer is not part of any transaction and thus frees journal_head before TASK1 gets to doing so. Note that even buffer_head can be released by try_to_free_buffers() after jbd2_journal_put_journal_head() which adds even larger opportunity for oops (but I didn't see this happen in reality). Fix the problem by making transactions hold their own journal_head reference (in b_jcount). That way we don't have to remove journal_head explicitely via jbd2_journal_remove_journal_head() and instead just remove journal_head when b_jcount drops to zero. The result of this is that [__]jbd2_journal_refile_buffer(), [__]jbd2_journal_unfile_buffer(), and __jdb2_journal_remove_checkpoint() can free journal_head which needs modification of a few callers. Also we have to be careful because once journal_head is removed, buffer_head might be freed as well. So we have to get our own buffer_head reference where it matters.
