2020-06-02mm/writeback: discard NR_UNSTABLE_NFS, use NR_WRITEBACK insteadNeilBrown1-1/+0
After an NFS page has been written it is considered "unstable" until a COMMIT request succeeds. If the COMMIT fails, the page will be re-written. These "unstable" pages are currently accounted as "reclaimable", either in WB_RECLAIMABLE, or in NR_UNSTABLE_NFS which is included in a 'reclaimable' count. This might have made sense when sending the COMMIT required a separate action by the VFS/MM (e.g. releasepage() used to send a COMMIT). However now that all writes generated by ->writepages() will automatically be followed by a COMMIT (since commit 919e3bd9a875 ("NFS: Ensure we commit after writeback is complete")) it makes more sense to treat them as writeback pages. So this patch removes NR_UNSTABLE_NFS and accounts unstable pages in NR_WRITEBACK and WB_WRITEBACK. A particular effect of this change is that when wb_check_background_flush() calls wb_over_bg_threshold(), the latter will report 'true' a lot less often as the 'unstable' pages are no longer considered 'dirty' (as there is nothing that writeback can do about them anyway). Currently wb_check_background_flush() will trigger writeback to NFS even when there are relatively few dirty pages (if there are lots of unstable pages), this can result in small writes going to the server (10s of Kilobytes rather than a Megabyte) which hurts throughput. With this patch, there are fewer writes which are each larger on average. Where the NR_UNSTABLE_NFS count was included in statistics virtual-files, the entry is retained, but the value is hard-coded as zero. static trace points and warning printks which mentioned this counter no longer report it.

2020-01-31memcg: fix a crash in wb_workfn when a device disappearsTheodore Ts'o1-1/+1
Without memcg, there is a one-to-one mapping between the bdi and bdi_writeback structures. In this world, things are fairly straightforward; the first thing bdi_unregister() does is to shutdown the bdi_writeback structure (or wb), and part of that writeback ensures that no other work queued against the wb, and that the wb is fully drained. With memcg, however, there is a one-to-many relationship between the bdi and bdi_writeback structures; that is, there are multiple wb objects which can all point to a single bdi. There is a refcount which prevents the bdi object from being released (and hence, unregistered). So in theory, the bdi_unregister() *should* only get called once its refcount goes to zero (bdi_put will drop the refcount, and when it is zero, release_bdi gets called, which calls bdi_unregister). Unfortunately, del_gendisk() in block/gen_hd.c never got the memo about the Brave New memcg World, and calls bdi_unregister directly. It does this without informing the file system, or the memcg code, or anything else. This causes the root wb associated with the bdi to be unregistered, but none of the memcg-specific wb's are shutdown. So when one of these wb's are woken up to do delayed work, they try to dereference their wb->bdi->dev to fetch the device name, but unfortunately bdi->dev is now NULL, thanks to the bdi_unregister() called by del_gendisk(). As a result, *boom*. Fortunately, it looks like the rest of the writeback path is perfectly happy with bdi->dev and bdi->owner being NULL, so the simplest fix is to create a bdi_dev_name() function which can handle bdi->dev being NULL. This also allows us to bulletproof the writeback tracepoints to prevent them from dereferencing a NULL pointer and crashing the kernel if one is tracing with memcg's enabled, and an iSCSI device dies or a USB storage stick is pulled. The most common way of triggering this will be hotremoval of a device while writeback with memcg enabled is going on. It was triggering several times a day in a heavily loaded production environment.

2019-11-08cgroup,writeback: don't switch wbs immediately on dead wbs if the memcg is deadTejun Heo1-3/+6
cgroup writeback tries to refresh the associated wb immediately if the current wb is dead. This is to avoid keeping issuing IOs on the stale wb after memcg - blkcg association has changed (ie. when blkcg got disabled / enabled higher up in the hierarchy). Unfortunately, the logic gets triggered spuriously on inodes which are associated with dead cgroups. When the logic is triggered on dead cgroups, the attempt fails only after doing quite a bit of work allocating and initializing a new wb. While c3aab9a0bd91 ("mm/filemap.c: don't initiate writeback if mapping has no dirty pages") alleviated the issue significantly as it now only triggers when the inode has dirty pages. However, the condition can still be triggered before the inode is switched to a different cgroup and the logic simply doesn't make sense. Skip the immediate switching if the associated memcg is dying.

finish_writeback_work() reads @done->waitq after decrementing @done->cnt. However, once @done->cnt reaches zero, @done may be freed (from stack) at any moment and @done->waitq can contain something unrelated by the time finish_writeback_work() tries to read it.

2019-08-15writeback, cgroup: inode_switch_wbs() shouldn't give up on wb_switch_rwsem ↵Tejun Heo1-12/+5
trylock fail As inode wb switching may make sync(2) miss some inodes, they're synchronized using wb_switch_rwsem so that no wb switching happens while sync(2) is in progress. In addition to synchronizing the actual switching, the rwsem is also used to prevent queueing new switch attempts while sync(2) is in progress. This is to avoid queueing too many instances while the rwsem is held by sync(2). Unfortunately, this is too agressive and can block wb switching for a long time if sync(2) is frequent. The goal is avoiding expolding the number of scheduled switches, not avoiding scheduling anything. Let's use wb_switch_rwsem only for synchronizing the actual switching and sync(2) and use isw_nr_in_flight instead for limiting the maximum number of scheduled switches. The limit is set to 1024 which should be more than enough while still avoiding extreme situations.

switching WB_FRN_TIME_CUT_DIV is used to tell the foreign inode detection logic to ignore short writeback rounds to prevent getting confused by a burst of short writebacks. The parameter is currently 2 meaning that anything smaller than half of the running average writback duration will be ignored. This is unnecessarily aggressive. The detection logic uses 16 history slots and is already reasonably protected against some short bursts confusing it and the current parameter can lead to tens of seconds of missed detection depending on the writeback pattern. Let's change the parameter to 8, so that it only ignores writeback with are smaller than 12.5% of the current running average. v2: Add comment explaining what's going on with the foreign detection parameters.

Syzbot has reported that it can hit a NULL pointer dereference in wb_workfn() due to wb->bdi->dev being NULL. This indicates that wb_workfn() was called for an already unregistered bdi which should not happen as wb_shutdown() called from bdi_unregister() should make sure all pending writeback works are completed before bdi is unregistered. Except that wb_workfn() itself can requeue the work with: mod_delayed_work(bdi_wq, &wb->dwork, 0); and if this happens while wb_shutdown() is waiting in: flush_delayed_work(&wb->dwork); the dwork can get executed after wb_shutdown() has finished and bdi_unregister() has cleared wb->bdi->dev. Make wb_workfn() use wakeup_wb() for requeueing the work which takes all the necessary precautions against racing with bdi unregistration.

lock_page_memcg()/unlock_page_memcg() use spin_lock_irqsave/restore() if the page's memcg is undergoing move accounting, which occurs when a process leaves its memcg for a new one that has memory.move_charge_at_immigrate set. unlocked_inode_to_wb_begin,end() use spin_lock_irq/spin_unlock_irq() if the given inode is switching writeback domains. Switches occur when enough writes are issued from a new domain. This existing pattern is thus suspicious: lock_page_memcg(page); unlocked_inode_to_wb_begin(inode, &locked); ... unlocked_inode_to_wb_end(inode, locked); unlock_page_memcg(page); If both inode switch and process memcg migration are both in-flight then unlocked_inode_to_wb_end() will unconditionally enable interrupts while still holding the lock_page_memcg() irq spinlock. This suggests the possibility of deadlock if an interrupt occurs before unlock_page_memcg(). truncate __cancel_dirty_page lock_page_memcg unlocked_inode_to_wb_begin unlocked_inode_to_wb_end <interrupts mistakenly enabled> <interrupt> end_page_writeback test_clear_page_writeback lock_page_memcg <deadlock> unlock_page_memcg Due to configuration limitations this deadlock is not currently possible because we don't mix cgroup writeback (a cgroupv2 feature) and memory.move_charge_at_immigrate (a cgroupv1 feature). If the kernel is hacked to always claim inode switching and memcg moving_account, then this script triggers lockup in less than a minute: cd /mnt/cgroup/memory mkdir a b echo 1 > a/memory.move_charge_at_immigrate echo 1 > b/memory.move_charge_at_immigrate ( echo $BASHPID > a/cgroup.procs while true; do dd if=/dev/zero of=/mnt/big bs=1M count=256 done ) & while true; do sync done & sleep 1h & SLEEP=$! while true; do echo $SLEEP > a/cgroup.procs echo $SLEEP > b/cgroup.procs done The deadlock does not seem possible, so it's debatable if there's any reason to modify the kernel. I suggest we should to prevent future surprises. And Wang Long said "this deadlock occurs three times in our environment", so there's more reason to apply this, even to stable.

2017-10-04writeback: eliminate work item allocation in bd_start_writeback()Jens Axboe1-37/+34
Handle start-all writeback like we do periodic or kupdate style writeback - by marking the bdi_writeback as needing a full flush, and simply waking the thread. This eliminates the need to allocate and queue a specific work item just for this purpose. After this change, we truly only ever have one of them running at any point in time.

2017-10-03writeback: only allow one inflight and pending full flushJens Axboe1-0/+25
When someone calls wakeup_flusher_threads() or wakeup_flusher_threads_bdi(), they schedule writeback of all dirty pages in the system (or on that bdi). If we are tight on memory, we can get tons of these queued from kswapd/vmscan. This causes (at least) two problems: 1) We consume a ton of memory just allocating writeback work items. We've seen as much as 600 million of these writeback work items pending. That's a lot of memory to pointlessly hold hostage, while the box is under memory pressure. 2) We spend so much time processing these work items, that we introduce a softlockup in writeback processing. This is because each of the writeback work items don't end up doing any work (it's hard when you have millions of identical ones coming in to the flush machinery), so we just sit in a tight loop pulling work items and deleting/freeing them. Fix this by adding a 'start_all' bit to the writeback structure, and set that when someone attempts to flush all dirty pages. The bit is cleared when we start writeback on that work item. If the bit is already set when we attempt to queue !nr_pages writeback, then we simply ignore it. This provides us one full flush in flight, with one pending as well, and makes for more efficient handling of this type of writeback.

2017-07-12writeback: rework wb_[dec|inc]_stat family of functionsNikolay Borisov1-4/+4
Currently the writeback statistics code uses a percpu counters to hold various statistics. Furthermore we have 2 families of functions - those which disable local irq and those which doesn't and whose names begin with double underscore. However, they both end up calling __add_wb_stats which in turn calls percpu_counter_add_batch which is already irq-safe. Exploiting this fact allows to eliminated the __wb_* functions since they don't add any further protection than we already have. Furthermore, refactor the wb_* function to call __add_wb_stat directly without the irq-disabling dance. This will likely result in better runtime of code which deals with modifying the stat counters. While at it also document why percpu_counter_add_batch is in fact preempt and irq-safe since at least 3 people got confused.

I've found funny live-lock between raid10 barriers during resync and memory controller hard limits. Inside mpage_readpages() task holds on to its plug bio which blocks the barrier in raid10. Its memory cgroup have no free memory thus the task goes into reclaimer but all reclaimable pages are dirty and cannot be written because raid10 is rebuilding and stuck on the barrier. Common flush of such IO in schedule() never happens, because the caller doesn't go to sleep. Lock is 'live' because changing memory limit or killing tasks which holds that stuck bio unblock whole progress. That was what happened in 3.18.x but I see no difference in upstream logic.

2016-08-04writeback: Write dirty times for WB_SYNC_ALL writebackJan Kara1-0/+1
Currently we take care to handle I_DIRTY_TIME in vfs_fsync() and queue_io() so that inodes which have only dirty timestamps are properly written on fsync(2) and sync(2). However there are other call sites - most notably going through write_inode_now() - which expect inode to be clean after WB_SYNC_ALL writeback. This is not currently true as we do not clear I_DIRTY_TIME in __writeback_single_inode() even for WB_SYNC_ALL writeback in all the cases. This then resulted in the following oops because bdev_write_inode() did not clean the inode and writeback code later stumbled over a dirty inode with detached wb. general protection fault: 0000 [#1] SMP DEBUG_PAGEALLOC KASAN Modules linked in: CPU: 3 PID: 32 Comm: kworker/u10:1 Not tainted 4.6.0-rc3+ #349 Hardware name: QEMU Standard PC (i440FX + PIIX, 1996), BIOS Bochs 01/01/2011 Workqueue: writeback wb_workfn (flush-11:0) task: ffff88006ccf1840 ti: ffff88006cda8000 task.ti: ffff88006cda8000 RIP: 0010:[<ffffffff818884d2>] [<ffffffff818884d2>] locked_inode_to_wb_and_lock_list+0xa2/0x750 RSP: 0018:ffff88006cdaf7d0 EFLAGS: 00010246 RAX: 0000000000000000 RBX: 0000000000000000 RCX: ffff88006ccf2050 RDX: 0000000000000000 RSI: 000000114c8a8484 RDI: 0000000000000286 RBP: ffff88006cdaf820 R08: ffff88006ccf1840 R09: 0000000000000000 R10: 000229915090805f R11: 0000000000000001 R12: ffff88006a72f5e0 R13: dffffc0000000000 R14: ffffed000d4e5eed R15: ffffffff8830cf40 FS: 0000000000000000(0000) GS:ffff88006d500000(0000) knlGS:0000000000000000 CS: 0010 DS: 0000 ES: 0000 CR0: 0000000080050033 CR2: 0000000003301bf8 CR3: 000000006368f000 CR4: 00000000000006e0 DR0: 0000000000001ec9 DR1: 0000000000000000 DR2: 0000000000000000 DR3: 0000000000000000 DR6: 00000000ffff0ff0 DR7: 0000000000000600 Stack: ffff88006a72f680 ffff88006a72f768 ffff8800671230d8 03ff88006cdaf948 ffff88006a72f668 ffff88006a72f5e0 ffff8800671230d8 ffff88006cdaf948 ffff880065b90cc8 ffff880067123100 ffff88006cdaf970 ffffffff8188e12e Call Trace: [< inline >] inode_to_wb_and_lock_list fs/fs-writeback.c:309 [<ffffffff8188e12e>] writeback_sb_inodes+0x4de/0x1250 fs/fs-writeback.c:1554 [<ffffffff8188efa4>] __writeback_inodes_wb+0x104/0x1e0 fs/fs-writeback.c:1600 [<ffffffff8188f9ae>] wb_writeback+0x7ce/0xc90 fs/fs-writeback.c:1709 [< inline >] wb_do_writeback fs/fs-writeback.c:1844 [<ffffffff81891079>] wb_workfn+0x2f9/0x1000 fs/fs-writeback.c:1884 [<ffffffff813bcd1e>] process_one_work+0x78e/0x15c0 kernel/workqueue.c:2094 [<ffffffff813bdc2b>] worker_thread+0xdb/0xfc0 kernel/workqueue.c:2228 [<ffffffff813cdeef>] kthread+0x23f/0x2d0 drivers/block/aoe/aoecmd.c:1303 [<ffffffff867bc5d2>] ret_from_fork+0x22/0x50 arch/x86/entry/entry_64.S:392 Code: 05 94 4a a8 06 85 c0 0f 85 03 03 00 00 e8 07 15 d0 ff 41 80 3e 00 0f 85 64 06 00 00 49 8b 9c 24 88 01 00 00 48 89 d8 48 c1 e8 03 <42> 80 3c 28 00 0f 85 17 06 00 00 48 8b 03 48 83 c0 50 48 39 c3 RIP [< inline >] wb_get include/linux/backing-dev-defs.h:212 RIP [<ffffffff818884d2>] locked_inode_to_wb_and_lock_list+0xa2/0x750 fs/fs-writeback.c:281 RSP <ffff88006cdaf7d0> ---[ end trace 986a4d314dcb2694 ]--- Fix the problem by making sure __writeback_single_inode() writes inode only with dirty times in WB_SYNC_ALL mode.

In particular, it ensures that sync only needs to walk through a list of inodes that were cleaned by the sync.

2016-07-26fs/fs-writeback.c: add a new writeback list for syncDave Chinner1-25/+81
wait_sb_inodes() currently does a walk of all inodes in the filesystem to find dirty one to wait on during sync. This is highly inefficient and wastes a lot of CPU when there are lots of clean cached inodes that we don't need to wait on. To avoid this "all inode" walk, we need to track inodes that are currently under writeback that we need to wait for. We do this by adding inodes to a writeback list on the sb when the mapping is first tagged as having pages under writeback. wait_sb_inodes() can then walk this list of "inodes under IO" and wait specifically just for the inodes that the current sync(2) needs to wait for. Define a couple helpers to add/remove an inode from the writeback list and call them when the overall mapping is tagged for or cleared from writeback. Update wait_sb_inodes() to walk only the inodes under writeback due to the sync. With this change, filesystem sync times are significantly reduced for fs' with largely populated inode caches and otherwise no other work to do. For example, on a 16xcpu 2GHz x86-64 server, 10TB XFS filesystem with a ~10m entry inode cache, sync times are reduced from ~7.3s to less than 0.1s when the filesystem is fully clean.

Asynchronous wb switching of inodes takes an additional ref count on an inode to make sure inode remains valid until switchover is completed. However, anyone calling ihold() must already have a ref count on inode, but in this case inode->i_count may already be zero: ------------[ cut here ]------------ WARNING: CPU: 1 PID: 917 at fs/inode.c:397 ihold+0x2b/0x30 CPU: 1 PID: 917 Comm: kworker/u4:5 Not tainted 4.7.0-rc2+ #49 Hardware name: QEMU Standard PC (i440FX + PIIX, 1996), BIOS Bochs 01/01/2011 Workqueue: writeback wb_workfn (flush-8:16) 0000000000000000 ffff88007ca0fb58 ffffffff805990af 0000000000000000 0000000000000000 ffff88007ca0fb98 ffffffff80268702 0000018d000004e2 ffff88007cef40e8 ffff88007c9b89a8 ffff880079e3a740 0000000000000003 Call Trace: [<ffffffff805990af>] dump_stack+0x4d/0x6e [<ffffffff80268702>] __warn+0xc2/0xe0 [<ffffffff802687d8>] warn_slowpath_null+0x18/0x20 [<ffffffff8035b4ab>] ihold+0x2b/0x30 [<ffffffff80367ecc>] inode_switch_wbs+0x11c/0x180 [<ffffffff80369110>] wbc_detach_inode+0x170/0x1a0 [<ffffffff80369abc>] writeback_sb_inodes+0x21c/0x530 [<ffffffff80369f7e>] wb_writeback+0xee/0x1e0 [<ffffffff8036a147>] wb_workfn+0xd7/0x280 [<ffffffff80287531>] ? try_to_wake_up+0x1b1/0x2b0 [<ffffffff8027bb09>] process_one_work+0x129/0x300 [<ffffffff8027be06>] worker_thread+0x126/0x480 [<ffffffff8098cde7>] ? __schedule+0x1c7/0x561 [<ffffffff8027bce0>] ? process_one_work+0x300/0x300 [<ffffffff80280ff4>] kthread+0xc4/0xe0 [<ffffffff80335578>] ? kfree+0xc8/0x100 [<ffffffff809903cf>] ret_from_fork+0x1f/0x40 [<ffffffff80280f30>] ? __kthread_parkme+0x70/0x70 ---[ end trace aaefd2fd9f306bc4 ]--- Signed-off-by: Tahsin Erdogan <tahsin@google.com> Acked-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Reviewed-by: Jan Kara <jack@suse.cz> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@fb.com>
2016-05-20mm,writeback: don't use memory reserves for wb_start_writebackTetsuo Handa1-1/+2
When writeback operation cannot make forward progress because memory allocation requests needed for doing I/O cannot be satisfied (e.g. under OOM-livelock situation), we can observe flood of order-0 page allocation failure messages caused by complete depletion of memory reserves. This is caused by unconditionally allocating "struct wb_writeback_work" objects using GFP_ATOMIC from PF_MEMALLOC context. __alloc_pages_nodemask() { __alloc_pages_slowpath() { __alloc_pages_direct_reclaim() { __perform_reclaim() { current->flags |= PF_MEMALLOC; try_to_free_pages() { do_try_to_free_pages() { wakeup_flusher_threads() { wb_start_writeback() { kzalloc(sizeof(*work), GFP_ATOMIC) { /* ALLOC_NO_WATERMARKS via PF_MEMALLOC */ } } } } } current->flags &= ~PF_MEMALLOC; } } } } Since I/O is stalling, allocating writeback requests forever shall deplete memory reserves. Fortunately, since wb_start_writeback() can fall back to wb_wakeup() when allocating "struct wb_writeback_work" failed, we don't need to allow wb_start_writeback() to use memory reserves.

2016-04-04mm, fs: get rid of PAGE_CACHE_* and page_cache_{get,release} macrosKirill A. Shutemov1-1/+1
PAGE_CACHE_{SIZE,SHIFT,MASK,ALIGN} macros were introduced *long* time ago with promise that one day it will be possible to implement page cache with bigger chunks than PAGE_SIZE. This promise never materialized. And unlikely will. We have many places where PAGE_CACHE_SIZE assumed to be equal to PAGE_SIZE. And it's constant source of confusion on whether PAGE_CACHE_* or PAGE_* constant should be used in a particular case, especially on the border between fs and mm. Global switching to PAGE_CACHE_SIZE != PAGE_SIZE would cause to much breakage to be doable. Let's stop pretending that pages in page cache are special. They are not. The changes are pretty straight-forward: - <foo> << (PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT - PAGE_SHIFT) -> <foo>; - <foo> >> (PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT - PAGE_SHIFT) -> <foo>; - PAGE_CACHE_{SIZE,SHIFT,MASK,ALIGN} -> PAGE_{SIZE,SHIFT,MASK,ALIGN}; - page_cache_get() -> get_page(); - page_cache_release() -> put_page(); This patch contains automated changes generated with coccinelle using script below. For some reason, coccinelle doesn't patch header files. I've called spatch for them manually. The only adjustment after coccinelle is revert of changes to PAGE_CAHCE_ALIGN definition: we are going to drop it later. There are few places in the code where coccinelle didn't reach. I'll fix them manually in a separate patch. Comments and documentation also will be addressed with the separate patch. virtual patch @@ expression E; @@ - E << (PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT - PAGE_SHIFT) + E @@ expression E; @@ - E >> (PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT - PAGE_SHIFT) + E @@ @@ - PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT + PAGE_SHIFT @@ @@ - PAGE_CACHE_SIZE + PAGE_SIZE @@ @@ - PAGE_CACHE_MASK + PAGE_MASK @@ expression E; @@ - PAGE_CACHE_ALIGN(E) + PAGE_ALIGN(E) @@ expression E; @@ - page_cache_get(E) + get_page(E) @@ expression E; @@ - page_cache_release(E) + put_page(E) Signed-off-by: Kirill A.

2016-03-20writeback, cgroup: fix use of the wrong bdi_writeback which mismatches the inodeTejun Heo1-10/+19
When cgroup writeback is in use, there can be multiple wb's (bdi_writeback's) per bdi and an inode may switch among them dynamically. In a couple places, the wrong wb was used leading to performing operations on the wrong list under the wrong lock corrupting the io lists. * writeback_single_inode() was taking @wb parameter and used it to remove the inode from io lists if it becomes clean after writeback. The callers of this function were always passing in the root wb regardless of the actual wb that the inode was associated with, which could also change while writeback is in progress. Fix it by dropping the @wb parameter and using inode_to_wb_and_lock_list() to determine and lock the associated wb. * After writeback_sb_inodes() writes out an inode, it re-locks @wb and inode to remove it from or move it to the right io list. It assumes that the inode is still associated with @wb; however, the inode may have switched to another wb while writeback was in progress. Fix it by using inode_to_wb_and_lock_list() to determine and lock the associated wb after writeback is complete. As the function requires the original @wb->list_lock locked for the next iteration, in the unlikely case where the inode has changed association, switch the locks. Kudos to Tahsin for pinpointing these subtle breakages.
