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.

2015-11-06nilfs2: add a tracepoint for transaction eventsHitoshi Mitake1-1/+32
This patch adds a tracepoint for transaction events of nilfs. With the tracepoint, these events can be tracked: begin, abort, commit, trylock, lock, and unlock. Basically, these events have corresponding functions e.g. begin event corresponds nilfs_transaction_begin(). The unlock event is an exception. It corresponds to the iteration in nilfs_transaction_lock(). Only one tracepoint is introcued: nilfs2_transaction_transition. The above events are distinguished with newly introduced enum. With this tracepoint, we can analyse a critical section of segment constructoin. Sample output by tpoint of perf-tools: cp-4457 [000] ...1 63.266220: nilfs2_transaction_transition: sb = ffff8802112b8800 ti = ffff8800bf5ccc58 count = 1 flags = 9 state = BEGIN cp-4457 [000] ...1 63.266221: nilfs2_transaction_transition: sb = ffff8802112b8800 ti = ffff8800bf5ccc58 count = 0 flags = 9 state = COMMIT cp-4457 [000] ...1 63.266221: nilfs2_transaction_transition: sb = ffff8802112b8800 ti = ffff8800bf5ccc58 count = 0 flags = 9 state = COMMIT segctord-4371 [001] ...1 68.261196: nilfs2_transaction_transition: sb = ffff8802112b8800 ti = ffff8800b889bdf8 count = 0 flags = 10 state = TRYLOCK segctord-4371 [001] ...1 68.261280: nilfs2_transaction_transition: sb = ffff8802112b8800 ti = ffff8800b889bdf8 count = 0 flags = 10 state = LOCK segctord-4371 [001] ...1 68.261877: nilfs2_transaction_transition: sb = ffff8802112b8800 ti = ffff8800b889bdf8 count = 1 flags = 10 state = BEGIN segctord-4371 [001] ...1 68.262116: nilfs2_transaction_transition: sb = ffff8802112b8800 ti = ffff8800b889bdf8 count = 0 flags = 18 state = COMMIT segctord-4371 [001] ...1 68.265032: nilfs2_transaction_transition: sb = ffff8802112b8800 ti = ffff8800b889bdf8 count = 0 flags = 18 state = UNLOCK segctord-4371 [001] ...1 132.376847: nilfs2_transaction_transition: sb = ffff8802112b8800 ti = ffff8800b889bdf8 count = 0 flags = 10 state = TRYLOCK This patch also does trivial cleaning of comma usage in collection stage transition event for consistent coding style.

2015-11-06nilfs2: add a tracepoint for tracking stage transition of segment constructionHitoshi Mitake1-20/+51
This patch adds a tracepoint for tracking stage transition of block collection in segment construction. With the tracepoint, we can analysis the behavior of segment construction in depth. It would be useful for bottleneck detection and debugging, etc. The tracepoint is created with the standard trace API of linux (like ext3, ext4, f2fs and btrfs). So we can analysis with existing tools easily. Of course, more detailed analysis will be possible if we can create nilfs specific analysis tools. Below is an example of event dump with Brendan Gregg's perf-tools (https://github.com/brendangregg/perf-tools). Time consumption between each stage can be obtained. $ sudo bin/tpoint nilfs2:nilfs2_collection_stage_transition Tracing nilfs2:nilfs2_collection_stage_transition.

The async write flag is introduced to nilfs2 in the commit 7f42ec394156 ("nilfs2: fix issue with race condition of competition between segments for dirty blocks"), but the flag only makes sense for data buffers and btree node buffers.

2015-03-12nilfs2: fix deadlock of segment constructor during recoveryRyusuke Konishi1-3/+4
According to a report from Yuxuan Shui, nilfs2 in kernel 3.19 got stuck during recovery at mount time. The code path that caused the deadlock was as follows: nilfs_fill_super() load_nilfs() nilfs_salvage_orphan_logs() * Do roll-forwarding, attach segment constructor for recovery, and kick it. nilfs_segctor_thread() nilfs_segctor_thread_construct() * A lock is held with nilfs_transaction_lock() nilfs_segctor_do_construct() nilfs_segctor_drop_written_files() iput() iput_final() write_inode_now() writeback_single_inode() __writeback_single_inode() do_writepages() nilfs_writepage() nilfs_construct_dsync_segment() nilfs_transaction_lock() --> deadlock This can happen if commit 7ef3ff2fea8b ("nilfs2: fix deadlock of segment constructor over I_SYNC flag") is applied and roll-forward recovery was performed at mount time. The roll-forward recovery can happen if datasync write is done and the file system crashes immediately after that. For instance, we can reproduce the issue with the following steps: < nilfs2 is mounted on /nilfs (device: /dev/sdb1) > # dd if=/dev/zero of=/nilfs/test bs=4k count=1 && sync # dd if=/dev/zero of=/nilfs/test conv=notrunc oflag=dsync bs=4k count=1 && reboot -nfh < the system will immediately reboot > # mount -t nilfs2 /dev/sdb1 /nilfs The deadlock occurs because iput() can run segment constructor through writeback_single_inode() if MS_ACTIVE flag is not set on sb->s_flags. The above commit changed segment constructor so that it calls iput() asynchronously for inodes with i_nlink == 0, but that change was imperfect. This fixes the another deadlock by deferring iput() in segment constructor even for the case that mount is not finished, that is, for the case that MS_ACTIVE flag is not set.

2015-02-05nilfs2: fix deadlock of segment constructor over I_SYNC flagRyusuke Konishi1-5/+39
Nilfs2 eventually hangs in a stress test with fsstress program. This issue was caused by the following deadlock over I_SYNC flag between nilfs_segctor_thread() and writeback_sb_inodes(): nilfs_segctor_thread() nilfs_segctor_thread_construct() nilfs_segctor_unlock() nilfs_dispose_list() iput() iput_final() evict() inode_wait_for_writeback() * wait for I_SYNC flag writeback_sb_inodes() * set I_SYNC flag on inode->i_state __writeback_single_inode() do_writepages() nilfs_writepages() nilfs_construct_dsync_segment() nilfs_segctor_sync() * wait for completion of segment constructor inode_sync_complete() * clear I_SYNC flag after __writeback_single_inode() completed writeback_sb_inodes() calls do_writepages() for dirty inodes after setting I_SYNC flag on inode->i_state. do_writepages() in turn calls nilfs_writepages(), which can run segment constructor and wait for its completion. On the other hand, segment constructor calls iput(), which can call evict() and wait for the I_SYNC flag on inode_wait_for_writeback(). Since segment constructor doesn't know when I_SYNC will be set, it cannot know whether iput() will block or not unless inode->i_nlink has a non-zero count. We can prevent evict() from being called in iput() by implementing sop->drop_inode(), but it's not preferable to leave inodes with i_nlink == 0 for long periods because it even defers file truncation and inode deallocation. So, this instead resolves the deadlock by calling iput() asynchronously with a workqueue for inodes with i_nlink == 0.

2014-10-14nilfs2: improve the performance of fdatasync()Andreas Rohner1-2/+2
Support for fdatasync() has been implemented in NILFS2 for a long time, but whenever the corresponding inode is dirty the implementation falls back to a full-flegded sync(). Since every write operation has to update the modification time of the file, the inode will almost always be dirty and fdatasync() will fall back to sync() most of the time. But this fallback is only necessary for a change of the file size and not for a change of the various timestamps. This patch adds a new flag NILFS_I_INODE_SYNC to differentiate between those two situations. * If it is set the file size was changed and a full sync is necessary. * If it is not set then only the timestamps were updated and fdatasync() can go ahead. There is already a similar flag I_DIRTY_DATASYNC on the VFS layer with the exact same semantics. Unfortunately it cannot be used directly, because NILFS2 doesn't implement write_inode() and doesn't clear the VFS flags when inodes are written out. So the VFS writeback thread can clear I_DIRTY_DATASYNC at any time without notifying NILFS2. So I_DIRTY_DATASYNC has to be mapped onto NILFS_I_INODE_SYNC in nilfs_update_inode().

2014-10-14nilfs2: add missing blkdev_issue_flush() to nilfs_sync_fs()Andreas Rohner1-0/+3
Under normal circumstances nilfs_sync_fs() writes out the super block, which causes a flush of the underlying block device. But this depends on the THE_NILFS_SB_DIRTY flag, which is only set if the pointer to the last segment crosses a segment boundary. So if only a small amount of data is written before the call to nilfs_sync_fs(), no flush of the block device occurs. In the above case an additional call to blkdev_issue_flush() is needed. To prevent unnecessary overhead, the new flag nilfs->ns_flushed_device is introduced, which is cleared whenever new logs are written and set whenever the block device is flushed. For convenience the function nilfs_flush_device() is added, which contains the above logic.

2014-01-15nilfs2: fix segctor bug that causes file system corruptionAndreas Rohner1-4/+6
There is a bug in the function nilfs_segctor_collect, which results in active data being written to a segment, that is marked as clean. It is possible, that this segment is selected for a later segment construction, whereby the old data is overwritten. The problem shows itself with the following kernel log message: nilfs_sufile_do_cancel_free: segment 6533 must be clean Usually a few hours later the file system gets corrupted: NILFS: bad btree node (blocknr=8748107): level = 0, flags = 0x0, nchildren = 0 NILFS error (device sdc1): nilfs_bmap_last_key: broken bmap (inode number=114660) The issue can be reproduced with a file system that is nearly full and with the cleaner running, while some IO intensive task is running. Although it is quite hard to reproduce. This is what happens: 1. The cleaner starts the segment construction 2. nilfs_segctor_collect is called 3. sc_stage is on NILFS_ST_SUFILE and segments are freed 4. sc_stage is on NILFS_ST_DAT current segment is full 5. nilfs_segctor_extend_segments is called, which allocates a new segment 6. The new segment is one of the segments freed in step 3 7. nilfs_sufile_cancel_freev is called and produces an error message 8. Loop around and the collection starts again 9. sc_stage is on NILFS_ST_SUFILE and segments are freed including the newly allocated segment, which will contain active data and can be allocated at a later time 10. A few hours later another segment construction allocates the segment and causes file system corruption This can be prevented by simply reordering the statements. If nilfs_sufile_cancel_freev is called before nilfs_segctor_extend_segments the freed segments are marked as dirty and cannot be allocated any more.

2013-09-30nilfs2: fix issue with race condition of competition between segments for ↵Vyacheslav Dubeyko1-2/+9
dirty blocks Many NILFS2 users were reported about strange file system corruption (for example): NILFS: bad btree node (blocknr=185027): level = 0, flags = 0x0, nchildren = 768 NILFS error (device sda4): nilfs_bmap_last_key: broken bmap (inode number=11540) But such error messages are consequence of file system's issue that takes place more earlier. Fortunately, Jerome Poulin <jeromepoulin@gmail.com> and Anton Eliasson <devel@antoneliasson.se> were reported about another issue not so recently. These reports describe the issue with segctor thread's crash: BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request at 0000000000004c83 IP: nilfs_end_page_io+0x12/0xd0 [nilfs2] Call Trace: nilfs_segctor_do_construct+0xf25/0x1b20 [nilfs2] nilfs_segctor_construct+0x17b/0x290 [nilfs2] nilfs_segctor_thread+0x122/0x3b0 [nilfs2] kthread+0xc0/0xd0 ret_from_fork+0x7c/0xb0 These two issues have one reason.

REPRODUCING PATH: One of the possible way or the issue reproducing was described by Jermoe me Poulin <jeromepoulin@gmail.com>: 1. init S to get to single user mode. 2. sysrq+E to make sure only my shell is running 3. start network-manager to get my wifi connection up 4. login as root and launch "screen" 5. cd /boot/log/nilfs which is a ext3 mount point and can log when NILFS dies. 6. lscp | xz -9e > lscp.txt.xz 7. mount my snapshot using mount -o cp=3360839,ro /dev/vgUbuntu/root /mnt/nilfs 8. start a screen to dump /proc/kmsg to text file since rsyslog is killed 9. start a screen and launch strace -f -o find-cat.log -t find /mnt/nilfs -type f -exec cat {} > /dev/null \; 10. start a screen and launch strace -f -o apt-get.log -t apt-get update 11. launch the last command again as it did not crash the first time 12. apt-get crashes 13. ps aux > ps-aux-crashed.log 13. sysrq+W 14. sysrq+E wait for everything to terminate 15. sysrq+SUSB Simplified way of the issue reproducing is starting kernel compilation task and "apt-get update" in parallel. REPRODUCIBILITY: The issue is reproduced not stable [60% - 80%]. It is very important to have proper environment for the issue reproducing. The critical conditions for successful reproducing: (1) It should have big modified file by mmap() way. (2) This file should have the count of dirty blocks are greater that several segments in size (for example, two or three) from time to time during processing. (3) It should be intensive background activity of files modification in another thread. INVESTIGATION: First of all, it is possible to see that the reason of crash is not valid page address: NILFS [nilfs_segctor_complete_write]:2100 bh->b_count 0, bh->b_blocknr 13895680, bh->b_size 13897727, bh->b_page 0000000000001a82 NILFS [nilfs_segctor_complete_write]:2101 segbuf->sb_segnum 6783 Moreover, value of b_page (0x1a82) is 6786. This value looks like segment number. And b_blocknr with b_size values look like block numbers. So, buffer_head's pointer points on not proper address value.

Then, dirty blocks are gathered for every dirty file, prepared for write and submitted by means of nilfs_segbuf_submit_bh() call. Finally, it takes place complete write phase after calling nilfs_end_bio_write() on the block layer. Buffers/pages are marked as not dirty on final phase and processed files removed from the list of dirty files. It is possible to see that we had three prepare_write and submit_bio phases before segbuf_wait and complete_write phase. Moreover, segments compete between each other for dirty blocks because on every iteration of segments processing dirty buffer_heads are added in several lists of payload_buffers: [SEGMENT 6784]: bh->b_assoc_buffers.next ffff880218a0d5f8, bh->b_assoc_buffers.prev ffff880218bcdf50 [SEGMENT 6785]: bh->b_assoc_buffers.next ffff880218a0d5f8, bh->b_assoc_buffers.prev ffff880222cc7ee8 The next pointer is the same but prev pointer has changed. It means that buffer_head has next pointer from one list but prev pointer from another. Such modification can be made several times. And, finally, it can be resulted in various issues: (1) segctor hanging, (2) segctor crashing, (3) file system metadata corruption. FIX: This patch adds: (1) setting of BH_Async_Write flag in nilfs_segctor_prepare_write() for every proccessed dirty block; (2) checking of BH_Async_Write flag in nilfs_lookup_dirty_data_buffers() and nilfs_lookup_dirty_node_buffers(); (3) clearing of BH_Async_Write flag in nilfs_segctor_complete_write(), nilfs_abort_logs(), nilfs_forget_buffer(), nilfs_clear_dirty_page().

2012-06-20nilfs2: ensure proper cache clearing for gc-inodesRyusuke Konishi1-0/+2
A gc-inode is a pseudo inode used to buffer the blocks to be moved by garbage collection. Block caches of gc-inodes must be cleared every time a garbage collection function (nilfs_clean_segments) completes. Otherwise, stale blocks buffered in the caches may be wrongly reused in successive calls of the GC function. For user files, this is not a problem because their gc-inodes are distinguished by a checkpoint number as well as an inode number. They never buffer different blocks if either an inode number, a checkpoint number, or a block offset differs. However, gc-inodes of sufile, cpfile and DAT file can store different data for the same block offset. Thus, the nilfs_clean_segments function can move incorrect block for these meta-data files if an old block is cached. I found this is really causing meta-data corruption in nilfs. This fixes the issue by ensuring cache clear of gc-inodes and resolves reported GC problems including checkpoint file corruption, b-tree corruption, and the following warning during GC. nilfs_palloc_freev: entry number 307234 already freed. ...

2011-05-10nilfs2: get rid of private page allocatorRyusuke Konishi1-136/+17
Previously, nilfs was cloning pages for mmapped region to freeze their data and ensure consistency of checksum during writeback cycles. A private page allocator was used for this page cloning. But, we no longer need to do that since clear_page_dirty_for_io function sets up pte so that vm_ops->page_mkwrite function is called right before the mmapped pages are modified and nilfs_page_mkwrite function can safely wait for the pages to be written back to disk. So, this stops making a copy of mmapped pages during writeback, and eliminates the private page allocation and deallocation functions from nilfs.

2011-03-09nilfs2: get rid of nilfs_sb_info structureRyusuke Konishi1-23/+24
This directly uses sb->s_fs_info to keep a nilfs filesystem object and fully removes the intermediate nilfs_sb_info structure. With this change, the hierarchy of on-memory structures of nilfs will be simplified as follows: Before: super_block -> nilfs_sb_info -> the_nilfs -> cptree --+-> nilfs_root (current file system) +-> nilfs_root (snapshot A) +-> nilfs_root (snapshot B) : -> nilfs_sc_info (log writer structure) After: super_block -> the_nilfs -> cptree --+-> nilfs_root (current file system) +-> nilfs_root (snapshot A) +-> nilfs_root (snapshot B) : -> nilfs_sc_info (log writer structure) The reason why we didn't design so from the beginning is because the initial shape also differed from the above. The early hierachy was composed of "per-mount-point" super_block -> nilfs_sb_info pairs and a shared nilfs object. On the kernel 2.6.37, it was changed to the current shape in order to unify super block instances into one per device, and this cleanup became applicable as the result.

2011-03-02nilfs2: fix regression that i-flag is not set on changeless checkpointsRyusuke Konishi1-1/+2
According to the report from Jiro SEKIBA titled "regression in 2.6.37?" (Message-Id: <8739n8vs1f.wl%jir@sekiba.com>), on 2.6.37 and later kernels, lscp command no longer displays "i" flag on checkpoints that snapshot operations or garbage collection created. This is a regression of nilfs2 checkpointing function, and it's critical since it broke behavior of a part of nilfs2 applications. For instance, snapshot manager of TimeBrowse gets to create meaningless snapshots continuously; snapshot creation triggers another checkpoint, but applications cannot distinguish whether the new checkpoint contains meaningful changes or not without the i-flag. This patch fixes the regression and brings that application behavior back to normal.

2010-10-26mm: add account_page_writeback()Michael Rubin1-1/+1
To help developers and applications gain visibility into writeback behaviour this patch adds two counters to /proc/vmstat. # grep nr_dirtied /proc/vmstat nr_dirtied 3747 # grep nr_written /proc/vmstat nr_written 3618 These entries allow user apps to understand writeback behaviour over time and learn how it is impacting their performance. Currently there is no way to inspect dirty and writeback speed over time. It's not possible for nr_dirty/nr_writeback. These entries are necessary to give visibility into writeback behaviour. We have /proc/diskstats which lets us understand the io in the block layer. We have blktrace for more in depth understanding. We have e2fsprogs and debugsfs to give insight into the file systems behaviour, but we don't offer our users the ability understand what writeback is doing. There is no way to know how active it is over the whole system, if it's falling behind or to quantify it's efforts. With these values exported users can easily see how much data applications are sending through writeback and also at what rates writeback is processing this data. Comparing the rates of change between the two allow developers to see when writeback is not able to keep up with incoming traffic and the rate of dirty memory being sent to the IO back end. This allows folks to understand their io workloads and track kernel issues. Non kernel engineers at Google often use these counters to solve puzzling performance problems. Patch #4 adds a pernode vmstat file with nr_dirtied and nr_written Patch #5 add writeback thresholds to /proc/vmstat Currently these values are in debugfs. But they should be promoted to /proc since they are useful for developers who are writing databases and file servers and are not debugging the kernel. The output is as below: # grep threshold /proc/vmstat nr_pages_dirty_threshold 409111 nr_pages_dirty_background_threshold 818223 This patch: This allows code outside of the mm core to safely manipulate page writeback state and not worry about the other accounting. Not using these routines means that some code will lose track of the accounting and we get bugs. Modify nilfs2 to use interface.

This deletes the ns_writer pointer and a reader/writer semaphore protecting it. Signed-off-by: Ryusuke Konishi <konishi.ryusuke@lab.ntt.co.jp>

2010-10-23nilfs2: add routines to redirect access to buffers of DAT fileRyusuke Konishi1-0/+1
During garbage collection (GC), DAT file, which converts virtual block number to real block number, may return disk block number that is not yet written to the device. To avoid access to unwritten blocks, the current implementation stores changes to the caches of GCDAT during GC and atomically commit the changes into the DAT file after they are written to the device. This patch, instead, adds a function that makes a copy of specified buffer and stores it in nilfs_shadow_map, and a function to get the backup copy as needed (nilfs_mdt_freeze_buffer and nilfs_mdt_get_frozen_buffer respectively). Before DAT changes block number in an entry block, it makes a copy and redirect access to the buffer so that address conversion function (i.e. nilfs_dat_translate) refers to the old address saved in the copy. This patch gives requisites for such redirection. Signed-off-by: Ryusuke Konishi <konishi.ryusuke@lab.ntt.co.jp>
2010-10-23nilfs2: move inode count and block count into root objectRyusuke Konishi1-2/+2
This moves sbi->s_inodes_count and sbi->s_blocks_count into nilfs_root object. Signed-off-by: Ryusuke Konishi <konishi.ryusuke@lab.ntt.co.jp>
