2012-03-26xfs: don't cache inodes read through bulkstatDave Chinner1-1/+3
When we read inodes via bulkstat, we generally only read them once and then throw them away - they never get used again. If we retain them in cache, then it simply causes the working set of inodes and other cached items to be reclaimed just so the inode cache can grow. Avoid this problem by marking inodes read by bulkstat not to be cached and check this flag in .drop_inode to determine whether the inode should be added to the VFS LRU or not. If the inode lookup hits an already cached inode, then don't set the flag. If the inode lookup hits an inode marked with no cache flag, remove the flag and allow it to be cached once the current reference goes away. Inodes marked as not cached will get cleaned up by the background inode reclaim or via memory pressure, so they will still generate some short term cache pressure. They will, however, be reclaimed much sooner and in preference to cache hot inodes.

2012-03-13xfs: log timestamp updatesChristoph Hellwig1-5/+0
Timestamps on regular files are the last metadata that XFS does not update transactionally. Now that we use the delaylog mode exclusively and made the log scode scale extremly well there is no need to bypass that code for timestamp updates. Logging all updates allows to drop a lot of code, and will allow for further performance improvements later on. Note that this patch drops optimized handling of fdatasync - it will be added back in a separate commit.

2012-01-17xfs: remove the i_new_size field in struct xfs_inodeChristoph Hellwig1-2/+0
Now that we use the VFS i_size field throughout XFS there is no need for the i_new_size field any more given that the VFS i_size field gets updated in ->write_end before unlocking the page, and thus is always uptodate when writeback could see a page. Removing i_new_size also has the advantage that we will never have to trim back di_size during a failed buffered write, given that it never gets updated past i_size. Note that currently the generic direct I/O code only updates i_size after calling our end_io handler, which requires a small workaround to make sure di_size actually makes it to disk. I hope to fix this properly in the generic code. A downside is that we lose the support for parallel non-overlapping O_DIRECT appending writes that recently was added. I don't think keeping the complex and fragile i_new_size infrastructure for this is a good tradeoff - if we really care about parallel appending writers we should investigate turning the iolock into a range lock, which would also allow for parallel non-overlapping buffered writers.

2012-01-17xfs: remove the i_size field in struct xfs_inodeChristoph Hellwig1-4/+12
There is no fundamental need to keep an in-memory inode size copy in the XFS inode. We already have the on-disk value in the dinode, and the separate in-memory copy that we need for regular files only in the XFS inode. Remove the xfs_inode i_size field and change the XFS_ISIZE macro to use the VFS inode i_size field for regular files. Switch code that was directly accessing the i_size field in the xfs_inode to XFS_ISIZE, or in cases where we are limited to regular files direct access of the VFS inode i_size field. This also allows dropping some fairly complicated code in the write path which dealt with keeping the xfs_inode i_size uptodate with the VFS i_size that is getting updated inside ->write_end. Note that we do not bother resetting the VFS i_size when truncating a file that gets freed to zero as there is no point in doing so because the VFS inode is no longer in use at this point. Just relax the assert in xfs_ifree to only check the on-disk size instead.

2012-01-17xfs: replace i_flock with a sleeping bitlockChristoph Hellwig1-28/+50
We almost never block on i_flock, the exception is synchronous inode flushing. Instead of bloating the inode with a 16/24-byte completion that we abuse as a semaphore just implement it as a bitlock that uses a bit waitqueue for the rare sleeping path. This primarily is a tradeoff between a much smaller inode and a faster non-blocking path vs faster wakeups, and we are much better off with the former. A small downside is that we will lose lockdep checking for i_flock, but given that it's always taken inside the ilock that should be acceptable.

This wrapper isn't overly useful, not to say rather confusing. Around the call to xfs_itruncate_extents it does: - add tracing - add a few asserts in debug builds - conditionally update the inode size in two places - log the inode Both the tracing and the inode logging can be moved to xfs_itruncate_extents as they are useful for the attribute fork as well - in fact the attr code already does an equivalent xfs_trans_log_inode call just after calling xfs_itruncate_extents. The conditional size updates are a mess, and there was no reason to do them in two places anyway, as the first one was conditional on the inode having extents - but without extents we xfs_itruncate_extents would be a no-op and the placement wouldn't matter anyway. Instead move the size assignments and the asserts that make sense to the callers that want it. As a side effect of this clean up xfs_setattr_size by introducing variables for the old and new inode size, and moving the size updates into a common place.

2011-06-23xfs: reset inode per-lifetime state when recycling itDave Chinner1-0/+10
XFS inodes has several per-lifetime state fields that determine the behaviour of the inode. These state fields are not all reset when an inode is reused from the reclaimable state. This can lead to unexpected behaviour of the new inode such as speculative preallocation not being truncated away in the expected manner for local files until the inode is subsequently truncated, freed or cycles out of the cache. It can also lead to an inode being considered to be a filestream inode or having been truncated when that is not the case. Rework the reinitialisation of the inode when it is recycled to ensure that it is pristine before it is reused. While there, also fix the resetting of state flags in the recycling error paths so the inode does not become unreclaimable.

2010-12-23xfs: don't truncate prealloc from frequently accessed inodesDave Chinner1-6/+7
A long standing problem for streaming writeѕ through the NFS server has been that the NFS server opens and closes file descriptors on an inode for every write. The result of this behaviour is that the ->release() function is called on every close and that results in XFS truncating speculative preallocation beyond the EOF. This has an adverse effect on file layout when multiple files are being written at the same time - they interleave their extents and can result in severe fragmentation. To avoid this problem, keep track of ->release calls made on a dirty inode. For most cases, an inode is only going to be opened once for writing and then closed again during it's lifetime in cache. Hence if there are multiple ->release calls when the inode is dirty, there is a good chance that the inode is being accessed by the NFS server. Hence set a flag the first time ->release is called while there are delalloc blocks still outstanding on the inode. If this flag is set when ->release is next called, then do no truncate away the speculative preallocation - leave it there so that subsequent writes do not need to reallocate the delalloc space. This will prevent interleaving of extents of different inodes written concurrently to the same AG. If we get this wrong, it is not a big deal as we truncate speculative allocation beyond EOF anyway in xfs_inactive() when the inode is thrown out of the cache.

2010-12-23xfs: provide a inode iolock lockdep classDave Chinner1-0/+2
The XFS iolock needs to be re-initialised to a new lock class before it enters reclaim to prevent lockdep false positives. Unfortunately, this is not sufficient protection as inodes in the XFS_IRECLAIMABLE state can be recycled and not re-initialised before being reused. We need to re-initialise the lock state when transfering out of XFS_IRECLAIMABLE state to XFS_INEW, but we need to keep the same class as if the inode was just allocated. Hence we need a specific lockdep class variable for the iolock so that both initialisations use the same class. While there, add a specific class for inodes in the reclaim state so that it is easy to tell from lockdep reports what state the inode was in that generated the report.

2010-10-18xfs: don't use vfs writeback for pure metadata modificationsDave Chinner1-1/+0
Under heavy multi-way parallel create workloads, the VFS struggles to write back all the inodes that have been changed in age order. The bdi flusher thread becomes CPU bound, spending 85% of it's time in the VFS code, mostly traversing the superblock dirty inode list to separate dirty inodes old enough to flush. We already keep an index of all metadata changes in age order - in the AIL - and continued log pressure will do age ordered writeback without any extra overhead at all. If there is no pressure on the log, the xfssyncd will periodically write back metadata in ascending disk address offset order so will be very efficient. Hence we can stop marking VFS inodes dirty during transaction commit or when changing timestamps during transactions. This will keep the inodes in the superblock dirty list to those containing data or unlogged metadata changes. However, the timstamp changes are slightly more complex than this - there are a couple of places that do unlogged updates of the timestamps, and the VFS need to be informed of these. Hence add a new function xfs_trans_ichgtime() for transactional changes, and leave xfs_ichgtime() for the non-transactional changes.

2010-02-06xfs: Use delayed write for inodes rather than async V2Dave Chinner1-10/+0
We currently do background inode flush asynchronously, resulting in inodes being written in whatever order the background writeback issues them. Not only that, there are also blocking and non-blocking asynchronous inode flushes, depending on where the flush comes from. This patch completely removes asynchronous inode writeback. It removes all the strange writeback modes and replaces them with either a synchronous flush or a non-blocking delayed write flush. That is, inode flushes will only issue IO directly if they are synchronous, and background flushing may do nothing if the operation would block (e.g. on a pinned inode or buffer lock). Delayed write flushes will now result in the inode buffer sitting in the delwri queue of the buffer cache to be flushed by either an AIL push or by the xfsbufd timing out the buffer. This will allow accumulation of dirty inode buffers in memory and allow optimisation of inode cluster writeback at the xfsbufd level where we have much greater queue depths than the block layer elevators. We will also get adjacent inode cluster buffer IO merging for free when a later patch in the series allows sorting of the delayed write buffers before dispatch. This effectively means that any inode that is written back by background writeback will be seen as flush locked during AIL pushing, and will result in the buffers being pushed from there. This writeback path is currently non-optimal, but the next patch in the series will fix that problem. A side effect of this delayed write mechanism is that background inode reclaim will no longer directly flush inodes, nor can it wait on the flush lock. The result is that inode reclaim must leave the inode in the reclaimable state until it is clean. Hence attempts to reclaim a dirty inode in the background will simply skip the inode until it is clean and this allows other mechanisms (i.e. xfsbufd) to do more optimal writeback of the dirty buffers. As a result, the inode reclaim code has been rewritten so that it no longer relies on the ambiguous return values of xfs_iflush() to determine whether it is safe to reclaim an inode. Portions of this patch are derived from patches by Christoph Hellwig.

2010-02-06xfs: Make inode reclaim states explicitDave Chinner1-0/+1
A.K.A.: don't rely on xfs_iflush() return value in reclaim We have gradually been moving checks out of the reclaim code because they are duplicated in xfs_iflush(). We've had a history of problems in this area, and many of them stem from the overloading of the return values from xfs_iflush() and interaction with inode flush locking to determine if the inode is safe to reclaim. With the desire to move to delayed write flushing of inodes and non-blocking inode tree reclaim walks, the overloading of the return value of xfs_iflush makes it very difficult to determine the correct thing to do next. This patch explicitly re-adds the checks to the inode reclaim code, removing the reliance on the return value of xfs_iflush() to determine what to do next. It also means that we can clearly document all the inode states that reclaim must handle and hence we can easily see that we handled all the necessary cases. This also removes the need for the xfs_inode_clean() check in xfs_iflush() as all callers now check this first (safely).

To reads the events do a cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/trace Compared to the last posting this patch converts the tracing mostly to the one tracepoint per callsite model that other users of the new tracing facility also employ. This allows a very fine-grained control of the tracing, a cleaner output of the traces and also enables the perf tool to use each tracepoint as a virtual performance counter, allowing us to e.g. count how often certain workloads git various spots in XFS.

2009-10-08xfs: implement ->dirty_inode to fix timestamp handlingChristoph Hellwig1-1/+1
This is picking up on Felix's repost of Dave's patch to implement a .dirty_inode method. We really need this notification because the VFS keeps writing directly into the inode structure instead of going through methods to update this state. In addition to the long-known atime issue we now also have a caller in VM code that updates c/mtime that way for shared writeable mmaps. And I found another one that no one has noticed in practice in the FIFO code. So implement ->dirty_inode to set i_update_core whenever the inode gets externally dirtied, and switch the c/mtime handling to the same scheme we already use for atime (always picking up the value from the Linux inode). Note that this patch also removes the xfs_synchronize_atime call in xfs_reclaim it was superflous as we already synchronize the time when writing the inode via the log (xfs_inode_item_format) or the normal buffers (xfs_iflush_int). In addition also remove the I_CLEAR check before copying the Linux timestamps - now that we always have the Linux inode available we can always use the timestamps in it. Also switch to just using file_update_time for regular reads/writes - that will get us all optimization done to it for free and make sure we notice early when it breaks.

2009-09-01xfs: simplify xfs_trans_igetChristoph Hellwig1-2/+0
xfs_trans_iget is a wrapper for xfs_iget that adds the inode to the transaction after it is read. Except when the inode already is in the inode cache, in which case it returns the existing locked inode with increment lock recursion counts. Now, no one in the tree every decrements these lock recursion counts, so any user of this gets a potential double unlock when both the original owner of the inode and the xfs_trans_iget caller unlock it. When looking back in a git bisect in the historic XFS tree there was only one place that decremented these counts, xfs_trans_iput. Introduced in commit ca25df7a840f426eb566d52667b6950b92bb84b5 by Adam Sweeney in 1993, and removed in commit 19f899a3ab155ff6a49c0c79b06f2f61059afaf3 by Steve Lord in 2003. And as long as it didn't slip through git bisects cracks never actually used in that time frame. A quick audit of the callers of xfs_trans_iget shows that no caller really relies on this behaviour fortunately - xfs_ialloc allows this inode from disk so it must not be there before, and all the RT allocator routines only every add each RT bitmap inode once. In addition to removing lots of code and reducing the size of the inode item this patch also avoids the double inode cache lookup in each create/mkdir/mknod transaction.

2009-09-01xfs: merge fsync and O_SYNC handlingChristoph Hellwig1-1/+0
The guarantees for O_SYNC are exactly the same as the ones we need to make for an fsync call (and given that Linux O_SYNC is O_DSYNC the equivalent is fdadatasync, but we treat both the same in XFS), except with a range data writeout. Jan Kara has started unifying these two path for filesystems using the generic helpers, and I've started to look at XFS. The actual transaction commited by xfs_fsync and xfs_write_sync_logforce has a different transaction number, but actually is exactly the same. We'll only use the fsync transaction going forward. One major difference is that xfs_write_sync_logforce never issues a cache flush unless we commit a transaction causing that as a side-effect, which is an obvious bug in the O_SYNC handling. Second all the locking and i_update_size vs i_update_core changes from 978b7237123d007b9fa983af6e0e2fa8f97f9934 never made it to xfs_write_sync_logforce, so we add them back. To make xfs_fsync easily usable from the O_SYNC path, the filemap_fdatawait call is moved up to xfs_file_fsync, so that we don't wait on the whole file after we already waited for our portion in xfs_write. We'll also use a plain call to filemap_write_and_wait_range instead of the previous sync_page_rang which did it in two steps including an half-hearted inode write out that doesn't help us. Once we're done with this also remove the now useless i_update_size tracking.

2009-08-07xfs: fix freeing of inodes not yet added to the inode cacheChristoph Hellwig1-17/+0
When freeing an inode that lost race getting added to the inode cache we must not call into ->destroy_inode, because that would delete the inode that won the race from the inode cache radix tree. This patch uses splits a new xfs_inode_free helper out of xfs_ireclaim and uses that plus __destroy_inode to make sure we really only free the memory allocted for the inode that lost the race, and not mess with the inode cache state.
