2011-06-27jbd2: use WRITE_SYNC in journal checkpointTao Ma
In journal checkpoint, we write the buffer and wait for its finish. But in cfq, the async queue has a very low priority, and in our test, if there are too many sync queues and every queue is filled up with requests, the write request will be delayed for quite a long time and all the tasks which are waiting for journal space will end with errors like: INFO: task attr_set:3816 blocked for more than 120 seconds. "echo 0 > /proc/sys/kernel/hung_task_timeout_secs" disables this message. attr_set D ffff880028393480 0 3816 1 0x00000000 ffff8802073fbae8 0000000000000086 ffff8802140847c8 ffff8800283934e8 ffff8802073fb9d8 ffffffff8103e456 ffff8802140847b8 ffff8801ed728080 ffff8801db4bc080 ffff8801ed728450 ffff880028393480 0000000000000002 Call Trace: [<ffffffff8103e456>] ? __dequeue_entity+0x33/0x38 [<ffffffff8103caad>] ? need_resched+0x23/0x2d [<ffffffff814006a6>] ? thread_return+0xa2/0xbc [<ffffffffa01f6224>] ? jbd2_journal_dirty_metadata+0x116/0x126 [jbd2] [<ffffffffa01f6224>] ? jbd2_journal_dirty_metadata+0x116/0x126 [jbd2] [<ffffffff81400d31>] __mutex_lock_common+0x14e/0x1a9 [<ffffffffa021dbfb>] ? brelse+0x13/0x15 [ext4] [<ffffffff81400ddb>] __mutex_lock_slowpath+0x19/0x1b [<ffffffff81400b2d>] mutex_lock+0x1b/0x32 [<ffffffffa01f927b>] __jbd2_journal_insert_checkpoint+0xe3/0x20c [jbd2] [<ffffffffa01f547b>] start_this_handle+0x438/0x527 [jbd2] [<ffffffff8106f491>] ? autoremove_wake_function+0x0/0x3e [<ffffffffa01f560b>] jbd2_journal_start+0xa1/0xcc [jbd2] [<ffffffffa02353be>] ext4_journal_start_sb+0x57/0x81 [ext4] [<ffffffffa024a314>] ext4_xattr_set+0x6c/0xe3 [ext4] [<ffffffffa024aaff>] ext4_xattr_user_set+0x42/0x4b [ext4] [<ffffffff81145adb>] generic_setxattr+0x6b/0x76 [<ffffffff81146ac0>] __vfs_setxattr_noperm+0x47/0xc0 [<ffffffff81146bb8>] vfs_setxattr+0x7f/0x9a [<ffffffff81146c88>] setxattr+0xb5/0xe8 [<ffffffff81137467>] ? do_filp_open+0x571/0xa6e [<ffffffff81146d26>] sys_fsetxattr+0x6b/0x91 [<ffffffff81002d32>] system_call_fastpath+0x16/0x1b So this patch tries to use WRITE_SYNC in __flush_batch so that the request will be moved into sync queue and handled by cfq timely.

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.

2011-05-24jbd2: fix sending of data flush on journal commitJan Kara
In data=ordered mode, it's theoretically possible (however rare) that an inode is filed to transaction's t_inode_list and a flusher thread writes all the data and inode is reclaimed before the transaction starts to commit. In such a case, we could erroneously omit sending a flush to file system device when it is different from the journal device (because data can still be in disk cache only). Fix the problem by setting a flag in a transaction when some inode is added to it and then send disk flush in the commit code when the flag is set.

2011-05-22jbd2: Fix the wrong calculation of t_max_wait in update_t_max_waitTao Ma
t_max_wait is added in commit 8e85fb3f to indicate how long we were waiting for new transaction to start. In commit 6d0bf005, it is moved to another function named update_t_max_wait to avoid a build warning. But the wrong thing is that the original 'ts' is initialized in the start of function start_this_handle and we can calculate t_max_wait in the right way. while with this change, ts is initialized within the function and t_max_wait can never be calculated right. This patch moves the initialization of ts to the original beginning of start_this_handle and pass it to function update_t_max_wait so that it can be calculated right and the build warning is avoided also.

2011-05-08jbd2: Fix forever sleeping process in do_get_write_access()Jan Kara
In do_get_write_access() we wait on BH_Unshadow bit for buffer to get from shadow state. The waking code in journal_commit_transaction() has a bug because it does not issue a memory barrier after the buffer is moved from the shadow state and before wake_up_bit() is called. Thus a waitqueue check can happen before the buffer is actually moved from the shadow state and waiting process may never be woken. Fix the problem by issuing proper barrier.

2011-05-01jbd2: fix fsync() tid wraparound bugTheodore Ts'o
If an application program does not make any changes to the indirect blocks or extent tree, i_datasync_tid will not get updated. If there are enough commits (i.e., 2**31) such that tid_geq()'s calculations wrap, and there isn't a currently active transaction at the time of the fdatasync() call, this can end up triggering a BUG_ON in fs/jbd2/commit.c: J_ASSERT(journal->j_running_transaction != NULL); It's pretty rare that this can happen, since it requires the use of fdatasync() plus *very* frequent and excessive use of fsync(). But with the right workload, it can. We fix this by replacing the use of tid_geq() with an equality test, since there's only one valid transaction id that we is valid for us to wait until it is commited: namely, the currently running transaction (if it exists).

2011-04-05jbd2: fix potential memory leak on transaction commitZhang Huan
There is potential memory leak of journal head in function jbd2_journal_commit_transaction. The problem is that JBD2 will not reclaim the journal head of commit record if error occurs or journal is abotred. I use the following script to reproduce this issue, on a RHEL6 system. I found it very easy to reproduce with async commit enabled. mount /dev/sdb /mnt -o journal_checksum,journal_async_commit touch /mnt/xxx echo offline > /sys/block/sdb/device/state sync umount /mnt rmmod ext4 rmmod jbd2 Removal of the jbd2 module will make slab complaining that "cache `jbd2_journal_head': can't free all objects".

2011-02-12jbd2: call __jbd2_log_start_commit with j_state_lock write lockedTheodore Ts'o
On an SMP ARM system running ext4, I've received a report that the first J_ASSERT in jbd2_journal_commit_transaction has been triggering: J_ASSERT(journal->j_running_transaction != NULL); While investigating possible causes for this problem, I noticed that __jbd2_log_start_commit() is getting called with j_state_lock only read-locked, in spite of the fact that it's possible for it might j_commit_request. Fix this by grabbing the necessary information so we can test to see if we need to start a new transaction before dropping the read lock, and then calling jbd2_log_start_commit() which will grab the write lock.

2010-10-27jbd2: Fix I/O hang in jbd2_journal_release_jbd_inodeBrian King
This fixes a hang seen in jbd2_journal_release_jbd_inode on a lot of Power 6 systems running with ext4. When we get in the hung state, all I/O to the disk in question gets blocked where we stay indefinitely. Looking at the task list, I can see we are stuck in jbd2_journal_release_jbd_inode waiting on a wake up. I added some debug code to detect this scenario and dump additional data if we were stuck in jbd2_journal_release_jbd_inode for longer than 30 minutes. When it hit, I was able to see that i_flags was 0, suggesting we missed the wake up. This patch changes i_flags to be an unsigned long, uses bit operators to access it, and adds barriers around the accesses. Prior to applying this patch, we were regularly hitting this hang on numerous systems in our test environment. After applying the patch, the hangs no longer occur.

2010-09-20cfq: improve fsync performance for small filesCorrado Zoccolo
Fsync performance for small files achieved by cfq on high-end disks is lower than what deadline can achieve, due to idling introduced between the sync write happening in process context and the journal commit. Moreover, when competing with a sequential reader, a process writing small files and fsync-ing them is starved. This patch fixes the two problems by: - marking journal commits as WRITE_SYNC, so that they get the REQ_NOIDLE flag set, - force all queues that have REQ_NOIDLE requests to be put in the noidle tree. Having the queue associated to the fsync-ing process and the one associated to journal commits in the noidle tree allows: - switching between them without idling, - fairness vs. competing idling queues, since they will be serviced only after the noidle tree expires its slice.

2010-09-16block: remove BLKDEV_IFL_WAITChristoph Hellwig
All the blkdev_issue_* helpers can only sanely be used for synchronous caller. To issue cache flushes or barriers asynchronously the caller needs to set up a bio by itself with a completion callback to move the asynchronous state machine ahead. So drop the BLKDEV_IFL_WAIT flag that is always specified when calling blkdev_issue_* and also remove the now unused flags argument to blkdev_issue_flush and blkdev_issue_zeroout. For blkdev_issue_discard we need to keep it for the secure discard flag, which gains a more descriptive name and loses the bitops vs flag confusion.

2010-09-10JBD2: Allow feature checks before journal recoveryPatrick J. LoPresti
Before we start accessing a huge (> 16 TiB) OCFS2 volume, we need to confirm that its journal supports 64-bit offsets. In particular, we need to check the journal's feature bits before recovering the journal. This is not possible with JBD2 at present, because the journal superblock (where the feature bits reside) is not loaded from disk until the journal is recovered. This patch loads the journal superblock in jbd2_journal_check_used_features() if it has not already been loaded, allowing us to check the feature bits before journal recovery.

2010-09-10jbd2: Modify ASYNC_COMMIT code to not rely on queue draining on barrierJan Kara
Currently JBD2 relies blkdev_issue_flush() draining the queue when ASYNC_COMMIT feature is set. This property is going away so make JBD2 wait for buffers it needs on its own before submitting the cache flush.

2010-08-18remove SWRITE* I/O typesChristoph Hellwig
These flags aren't real I/O types, but tell ll_rw_block to always lock the buffer instead of giving up on a failed trylock. Instead add a new write_dirty_buffer helper that implements this semantic and use it from the existing SWRITE* callers. Note that the ll_rw_block code had a bug where it didn't promote WRITE_SYNC_PLUG properly, which this patch fixes. In the ufs code clean up the helper that used to call ll_rw_block to mirror sync_dirty_buffer, which is the function it implements for compound buffers.
