2016-04-04mm, fs: get rid of PAGE_CACHE_* and page_cache_{get,release} macrosKirill A. Shutemov1-2/+2
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.

2015-11-06fs/sync.c: make sync_file_range(2) use WB_SYNC_NONE writebackJan Kara1-1/+2
sync_file_range(2) is documented to issue writeback only for pages that are not currently being written. After all the system call has been created for userspace to be able to issue background writeout and so waiting for in-flight IO is undesirable there. However commit ee53a891f474 ("mm: do_sync_mapping_range integrity fix") switched do_sync_mapping_range() and thus sync_file_range() to issue writeback in WB_SYNC_ALL mode since do_sync_mapping_range() was used by other code relying on WB_SYNC_ALL semantics. These days do_sync_mapping_range() went away and we can switch sync_file_range(2) back to issuing WB_SYNC_NONE writeback. That should help PostgreSQL avoid large latency spikes when flushing data in the background. Andres measured a 20% increase in transactions per second on an SSD disk.

2015-11-05mm/filemap.c: make global sync not clear error status of individual inodesJunichi Nomura1-1/+6
filemap_fdatawait() is a function to wait for on-going writeback to complete but also consume and clear error status of the mapping set during writeback. The latter functionality is critical for applications to detect writeback error with system calls like fsync(2)/fdatasync(2). However filemap_fdatawait() is also used by sync(2) or FIFREEZE ioctl, which don't check error status of individual mappings. As a result, fsync() may not be able to detect writeback error if events happen in the following order: Application System admin ---------------------------------------------------------- write data on page cache Run sync command writeback completes with error filemap_fdatawait() clears error fsync returns success (but the data is not on disk) This patch adds filemap_fdatawait_keep_errors() for call sites where writeback error is not handled so that they don't clear error status.

2015-02-05vfs: add support for a lazytime mount optionTheodore Ts'o1-0/+8
Add a new mount option which enables a new "lazytime" mode. This mode causes atime, mtime, and ctime updates to only be made to the in-memory version of the inode. The on-disk times will only get updated when (a) if the inode needs to be updated for some non-time related change, (b) if userspace calls fsync(), syncfs() or sync(), or (c) just before an undeleted inode is evicted from memory. This is OK according to POSIX because there are no guarantees after a crash unless userspace explicitly requests via a fsync(2) call. For workloads which feature a large number of random write to a preallocated file, the lazytime mount option significantly reduces writes to the inode table. The repeated 4k writes to a single block will result in undesirable stress on flash devices and SMR disk drives. Even on conventional HDD's, the repeated writes to the inode table block will trigger Adjacent Track Interference (ATI) remediation latencies, which very negatively impact long tail latencies --- which is a very big deal for web serving tiers (for example).

This patch changes sync_filesystem() to be EXPORT_SYMBOL(). The reason this is needed is that starting with 3.15 kernel, due to Theodore Ts'o's commit 02b9984d6408 ("fs: push sync_filesystem() down to the file system's remount_fs()"), all file systems that have dirty data to be written out need to call sync_filesystem() from their ->remount_fs() method when remounting read-only. As this is now a generically required function rather than an internal only function it should be EXPORT_SYMBOL() so that all file systems can call it.

2014-02-22Revert "writeback: do not sync data dirtied after sync start"Jan Kara1-9/+6
This reverts commit c4a391b53a72d2df4ee97f96f78c1d5971b47489. Dave Chinner <david@fromorbit.com> has reported the commit may cause some inodes to be left out from sync(2). This is because we can call redirty_tail() for some inode (which sets i_dirtied_when to current time) after sync(2) has started or similarly requeue_inode() can set i_dirtied_when to current time if writeback had to skip some pages. The real problem is in the functions clobbering i_dirtied_when but fixing that isn't trivial so revert is a safer choice for now.

2014-02-09fix O_SYNC|O_APPEND syncing the wrong range on write()Al Viro1-17/+0
It actually goes back to 2004 ([PATCH] Concurrent O_SYNC write support) when sync_page_range() had been introduced; generic_file_write{,v}() correctly synced pos_after_write - written .. pos_after_write - 1 but generic_file_aio_write() synced pos_before_write .. pos_before_write + written - 1 instead. Which is not the same thing with O_APPEND, obviously. A couple of years later correct variant had been killed off when everything switched to use of generic_file_aio_write(). All users of generic_file_aio_write() are affected, and the same bug has been copied into other instances of ->aio_write(). The fix is trivial; the only subtle point is that generic_write_sync() ought to be inlined to avoid calculations useless for the majority of calls. Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>

2013-11-13writeback: do not sync data dirtied after sync startJan Kara1-6/+9
When there are processes heavily creating small files while sync(2) is running, it can easily happen that quite some new files are created between WB_SYNC_NONE and WB_SYNC_ALL pass of sync(2). That can happen especially if there are several busy filesystems (remember that sync traverses filesystems sequentially and waits in WB_SYNC_ALL phase on one fs before starting it on another fs). Because WB_SYNC_ALL pass is slow (e.g. causes a transaction commit and cache flush for each inode in ext3), resulting sync(2) times are rather large. The following script reproduces the problem: function run_writers { for (( i = 0; i < 10; i++ )); do mkdir $1/dir$i for (( j = 0; j < 40000; j++ )); do dd if=/dev/zero of=$1/dir$i/$j bs=4k count=4 &>/dev/null done & done } for dir in "$@"; do run_writers $dir done sleep 40 time sync Fix the problem by disregarding inodes dirtied after sync(2) was called in the WB_SYNC_ALL pass. To allow for this, sync_inodes_sb() now takes a time stamp when sync has started which is used for setting up work for flusher threads. To give some numbers, when above script is run on two ext4 filesystems on simple SATA drive, the average sync time from 10 runs is 267.549 seconds with standard deviation 104.799426. With the patched kernel, the average sync time from 10 runs is 2.995 seconds with standard deviation 0.096.

sync passes wakeup_flusher_threads(0) will queue work doing complete writeback for each flusher thread. Thus there is not much point in submitting another work doing full inode WB_SYNC_NONE writeback by writeback_inodes_sb(). After this change it does not make sense to call nonblocking ->sync_fs and block device flush before calling sync_inodes_sb() because wakeup_flusher_threads() is completely asynchronous and thus these functions would be called in parallel with inode writeback running which will effectively void any work they do.

2012-07-22vfs: Remove unnecessary flushing of block devicesJan Kara1-8/+8

But as is seen in the above, there's no real need to scan pages and submit them twice. We just need to separate the submission and waiting part. This patch does that.

In case block device does not have filesystem mounted on it, sys_sync will just ignore it and doesn't writeout its dirty pages. This is because writeback code avoids writing inodes from superblock without backing device and blockdev_superblock is such a superblock. Since it's unexpected that sync doesn't writeout dirty data for block devices be nice to users and change the behavior to do so. So now we iterate over all block devices on blockdev_super instead of iterating over all superblocks when syncing block devices.

2012-07-22quota: Move quota syncing to ->sync_fs methodJan Kara1-3/+0
Since the moment writes to quota files are using block device page cache and space for quota structures is reserved at the moment they are first accessed we have no reason to sync quota before inode writeback. In fact this order is now only harmful since quota information can easily change during inode writeback (either because conversion of delayed-allocated extents or simply because of allocation of new blocks for simple filesystems not using page_mkwrite). So move syncing of quota information after writeback of inodes into ->sync_fs method. This way we do not have to use ->quota_sync callback which is primarily intended for use by quotactl syscall anyway and we get rid of calling ->sync_fs() twice unnecessarily. We skip quota syncing for OCFS2 since it does proper quota journalling in all cases (unlike ext3, ext4, and reiserfs which also support legacy non-journalled quotas) and thus there are no dirty quota structures.

Btrfs needs to be able to control how filemap_write_and_wait_range() is called in fsync to make it less of a painful operation, so push down taking i_mutex and the calling of filemap_write_and_wait() down into the ->fsync() handlers. Some file systems can drop taking the i_mutex altogether it seems, like ext3 and ocfs2. For correctness sake I just pushed everything down in all cases to make sure that we keep the current behavior the same for everybody, and then each individual fs maintainer can make up their mind about what to do from there.

2011-03-21introduce sys_syncfs to sync a single file systemSage Weil1-0/+24
It is frequently useful to sync a single file system, instead of all mounted file systems via sync(2): - On machines with many mounts, it is not at all uncommon for some of them to hang (e.g. unresponsive NFS server). sync(2) will get stuck on those and may never get to the one you do care about (e.g., /). - Some applications write lots of data to the file system and then want to make sure it is flushed to disk. Calling fsync(2) on each file introduces unnecessary ordering constraints that result in a large amount of sub-optimal writeback/flush/commit behavior by the file system. There are currently two ways (that I know of) to sync a single super_block: - BLKFLSBUF ioctl on the block device: That also invalidates the bdev mapping, which isn't usually desirable, and doesn't work for non-block file systems. - 'mount -o remount,rw' will call sync_filesystem as an artifact of the current implemention. Relying on this little-known side effect for something like data safety sounds foolish. Both of these approaches require root privileges, which some applications do not have (nor should they need?) given that sync(2) is an unprivileged operation. This patch introduces a new system call syncfs(2) that takes an fd and syncs only the file system it references. Maybe someday we can $ sync /some/path and not get sync: ignoring all arguments The syscall is motivated by comments by Al and Christoph at the last LSF. syncfs(2) seems like an appropriate name given statfs(2). A similar ioctl was also proposed a while back, see http://marc.info/?l=linux-fsdevel&m=127970513829285&w=2 Signed-off-by: Sage Weil <sage@newdream.net> Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>

We don't have proper reference counting for this yet, so we run into cases where the device is pulled and we OOPS on flushing the fs data. This happens even though the dirty inodes have already been migrated to the default_backing_dev_info.

2010-05-17writeback: fix WB_SYNC_NONE writeback from umountJens Axboe1-1/+1
When umount calls sync_filesystem(), we first do a WB_SYNC_NONE writeback to kick off writeback of pending dirty inodes, then follow that up with a WB_SYNC_ALL to wait for it. Since umount already holds the sb s_umount mutex, WB_SYNC_NONE ends up doing nothing and all writeback happens as WB_SYNC_ALL. This can greatly slow down umount, since WB_SYNC_ALL writeback is a data integrity operation and thus a bigger hammer than simple WB_SYNC_NONE. For barrier aware file systems it's a lot slower.

2010-03-30include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking ↵Tejun Heo1-0/+1
implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being included when building most .c files. percpu.h includes slab.h which in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies. percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed. Prepare for this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those headers directly instead of assuming availability. As this conversion needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is used as the basis of conversion. http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py The script does the followings. * Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that only the necessary includes are there. ie. if only gfp is used, gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h. * When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms to its surrounding. It's put in the include block which contains core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered - alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there doesn't seem to be any matching order. * If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the file. The conversion was done in the following steps. 1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h and ~3000 slab.h inclusions. The script emitted errors for ~400 files. 2. Each error was manually checked. Some didn't need the inclusion, some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or embedding .c file was more appropriate for others. This step added inclusions to around 150 files. 3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits from #2 to make sure no file was left behind. 4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed. e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually. 5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell. Most gfp.h inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros. Each slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as necessary. 6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h. 7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures were fixed. CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq). * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config. * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig * ia64 SMP allmodconfig * s390 SMP allmodconfig * alpha SMP allmodconfig * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig 8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as a separate patch and serve as bisection point. Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step 6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch. If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of the specific arch.

2010-03-05quota: move code from sync_quota_sb into vfs_quota_syncChristoph Hellwig1-7/+7
Currenly sync_quota_sb does a lot of sync and truncate action that only applies to "VFS" style quotas and is actively harmful for the sync performance in XFS. Move it into vfs_quota_sync and add a wait parameter to ->quota_sync to tell if we need it or not. My audit of the GFS2 code says it's also not needed given the way GFS2 implements quotas, but I'd be happy if this can get a detailed review.
