2008-04-29[XFS] Add xfs_icsb_sync_counters_locked for when m_sb_lock already heldChristoph Hellwig
Add a new xfs_icsb_sync_counters_locked for the case where m_sb_lock is already taken and add a flags argument to xfs_icsb_sync_counters so that xfs_icsb_sync_counters_flags is not needed.

2008-04-18[XFS] Remove periodic logging of in-core superblock counters.David Chinner
xfssyncd triggers the logging of superblock counters every 30s if the filesystem is made with lazy-count=1. This will prevent disks from idling and spinning down as there will be a log write every 30s. With the way counter recovery works for lazy-count=1, this code is unnecessary and provides no real benefit, so just remove it.

2008-04-18[XFS] Don't block pdflush when writing back inodesDavid Chinner
When pdflush is writing back inodes, it can get stuck on inode cluster buffers that are currently under I/O. This occurs when we write data to multiple inodes in the same inode cluster at the same time. Effectively, delayed allocation marks the inode dirty during the data writeback. Hence if the inode cluster was flushed during the writeback of the first inode, the writeback of the second inode will block waiting for the inode cluster write to complete before writing it again for the newly dirtied inode. Basically, we want to avoid this from happening so we don't block pdflush and slow down all of writeback. Hence we introduce a non-blocking async inode flush flag that pdflush uses. If this flag is set, we use non-blocking operations (e.g. try locks) whereever we can to avoid blocking or extra I/O being issued.

2008-02-28[XFS] If you mount an XFS filesystem with no mount options at all, thenJosef Jeff Sipek
the "ikeep" option is set rather than "noikeep". This regression was introduced in 970451. With no mount options specified, xfs_parseargs() does the following: int ikeep = 0; args->flags |= XFSMNT_BARRIER; args->flags2 |= XFSMNT2_COMPAT_IOSIZE; if (!options) goto done; It only sets the above two options by default and before, it also used to set XFSMNT_IDELETE by default. If options are specified, then if (!(args->flags & XFSMNT_DMAPI) && !ikeep) args->flags |= XFSMNT_IDELETE; is executed later on which is skipped by the "goto done;" above. The solution is to invert the logic.

2008-02-07[XFS] Move AIL pushing into it's own threadDavid Chinner
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.

2007-10-16[XFS] avoid race in sync_inodes() that can fail to write out all dirty dataLachlan McIlroy
In xfs_fs_sync_super() treat a sync the same as a filesystem freeze. This is needed to force the log to disk for inodes which are not marked dirty in the Linux inode (the inodes are marked dirty on completion of the log I/O) and so sync_inodes() will not flush them. In xfs_fs_write_inode() a synchronous flush will not get an EAGAIN from xfs_inode_flush() and if an asynchronous flush returns EAGAIN we should pass it on to the caller. If we get an error while flushing the inode then re-dirty it so we can try again later.

2007-07-17Freezer: make kernel threads nonfreezable by defaultRafael J. Wysocki
Currently, the freezer treats all tasks as freezable, except for the kernel threads that explicitly set the PF_NOFREEZE flag for themselves. This approach is problematic, since it requires every kernel thread to either set PF_NOFREEZE explicitly, or call try_to_freeze(), even if it doesn't care for the freezing of tasks at all. It seems better to only require the kernel threads that want to or need to be frozen to use some freezer-related code and to remove any freezer-related code from the other (nonfreezable) kernel threads, which is done in this patch. The patch causes all kernel threads to be nonfreezable by default (ie. to have PF_NOFREEZE set by default) and introduces the set_freezable() function that should be called by the freezable kernel threads in order to unset PF_NOFREEZE. It also makes all of the currently freezable kernel threads call set_freezable(), so it shouldn't cause any (intentional) change of behaviour to appear. Additionally, it updates documentation to describe the freezing of tasks more accurately. [akpm@linux-foundation.org: build fixes] Signed-off-by: Rafael J.

2007-07-14[XFS] Lazy Superblock CountersDavid Chinner
When we have a couple of hundred transactions on the fly at once, they all typically modify the on disk superblock in some way. create/unclink/mkdir/rmdir modify inode counts, allocation/freeing modify free block counts. When these counts are modified in a transaction, they must eventually lock the superblock buffer and apply the mods. The buffer then remains locked until the transaction is committed into the incore log buffer. The result of this is that with enough transactions on the fly the incore superblock buffer becomes a bottleneck. The result of contention on the incore superblock buffer is that transaction rates fall - the more pressure that is put on the superblock buffer, the slower things go. The key to removing the contention is to not require the superblock fields in question to be locked. We do that by not marking the superblock dirty in the transaction. IOWs, we modify the incore superblock but do not modify the cached superblock buffer. In short, we do not log superblock modifications to critical fields in the superblock on every transaction. In fact we only do it just before we write the superblock to disk every sync period or just before unmount. This creates an interesting problem - if we don't log or write out the fields in every transaction, then how do the values get recovered after a crash? the answer is simple - we keep enough duplicate, logged information in other structures that we can reconstruct the correct count after log recovery has been performed. It is the AGF and AGI structures that contain the duplicate information; after recovery, we walk every AGI and AGF and sum their individual counters to get the correct value, and we do a transaction into the log to correct them. An optimisation of this is that if we have a clean unmount record, we know the value in the superblock is correct, so we can avoid the summation walk under normal conditions and so mount/recovery times do not change under normal operation. One wrinkle that was discovered during development was that the blocks used in the freespace btrees are never accounted for in the AGF counters. This was once a valid optimisation to make; when the filesystem is full, the free space btrees are empty and consume no space. Hence when it matters, the "accounting" is correct. But that means the when we do the AGF summations, we would not have a correct count and xfs_check would complain. Hence a new counter was added to track the number of blocks used by the free space btrees. This is an *on-disk format change*. As a result of this, lazy superblock counters are a mkfs option and at the moment on linux there is no way to convert an old filesystem. This is possible - xfs_db can be used to twiddle the right bits and then xfs_repair will do the format conversion for you. Similarly, you can convert backwards as well. At some point we'll add functionality to xfs_admin to do the bit twiddling easily....

2007-05-07slab allocators: Remove SLAB_DEBUG_INITIAL flagChristoph Lameter
I have never seen a use of SLAB_DEBUG_INITIAL. It is only supported by SLAB. I think its purpose was to have a callback after an object has been freed to verify that the state is the constructor state again? The callback is performed before each freeing of an object. I would think that it is much easier to check the object state manually before the free. That also places the check near the code object manipulation of the object. Also the SLAB_DEBUG_INITIAL callback is only performed if the kernel was compiled with SLAB debugging on. If there would be code in a constructor handling SLAB_DEBUG_INITIAL then it would have to be conditional on SLAB_DEBUG otherwise it would just be dead code. But there is no such code in the kernel. I think SLUB_DEBUG_INITIAL is too problematic to make real use of, difficult to understand and there are easier ways to accomplish the same effect (i.e. add debug code before kfree). There is a related flag SLAB_CTOR_VERIFY that is frequently checked to be clear in fs inode caches. Remove the pointless checks (they would even be pointless without removeal of SLAB_DEBUG_INITIAL) from the fs constructors. This is the last slab flag that SLUB did not support. Remove the check for unimplemented flags from SLUB.

2007-02-10[XFS] Remove unused header files for MAC and CAP checking functionality.Eric Sandeen
xfs_mac.h and xfs_cap.h provide definitions and macros that aren't used anywhere in XFS at all. They are left-overs from "to be implement at some point in the future" functionality that Irix XFS has. If this functionality ever goes into Linux, it will be provided at a different layer, most likely through the security hooks in the kernel so we will never need this functionality in XFS.

2007-02-10[XFS] Ensure a frozen filesystem has a clean log before writing the dummyDavid Chinner
record. The current Linux XFS freeze code is a mess. We flush the metadata buffers out while we are still allowing new transactions to start and then fail to flush the dirty buffers back out before writing the unmount and dummy records to the log. This leads to problems when the frozen filesystem is used for snapshots - we do log recovery on a readonly image and often it appears that the log image in the snapshot is not correct. Hence we end up with hangs, oops and mount failures when trying to mount a snapshot image that has been created when the filesystem has not been correctly frozen. To fix this, we need to move th metadata flush to after we wait for all current transactions to complete in teh second stage of the freeze. This means that when we write the final log records, the log should be clean and recovery should never occur on a snapshot image created from a frozen filesystem.

2007-02-10[XFS] Keep stack usage down for 4k stacks by using noinline.David Chinner
gcc-4.1 and more recent aggressively inline static functions which increases XFS stack usage by ~15% in critical paths. Prevent this from occurring by adding noinline to the STATIC definition. Also uninline some functions that are too large to be inlined and were causing problems with CONFIG_FORCED_INLINING=y. Finally, clean up all the different users of inline, __inline and __inline__ and put them under one STATIC_INLINE macro. For debug kernels the STATIC_INLINE macro uninlines those functions.

2006-09-28[XFS] Really fix use after free in xfs_iunpin.David Chinner
The previous attempts to fix the linux inode use-after-free in xfs_iunpin simply made the problem harder to hit. We actually need complete exclusion between xfs_reclaim and xfs_iunpin, as well as ensuring that the i_flags are consistent during both of these functions. Introduce a new spinlock for exclusion and the i_flags, and fix up xfs_iunpin to use igrab before marking the inode dirty.

2006-09-27[PATCH] inode-diet: Eliminate i_blksize from the inode structureTheodore Ts'o
This eliminates the i_blksize field from struct inode. Filesystems that want to provide a per-inode st_blksize can do so by providing their own getattr routine instead of using the generic_fillattr() function. Note that some filesystems were providing pretty much random (and incorrect) values for i_blksize.

2006-06-23[PATCH] VFS: Permit filesystem to perform statfs with a known root dentryDavid Howells
Give the statfs superblock operation a dentry pointer rather than a superblock pointer. This complements the get_sb() patch. That reduced the significance of sb->s_root, allowing NFS to place a fake root there. However, NFS does require a dentry to use as a target for the statfs operation. This permits the root in the vfsmount to be used instead. linux/mount.h has been added where necessary to make allyesconfig build successfully. Interest has also been expressed for use with the FUSE and XFS filesystems.
