2009-09-22mm: oom analysis: add shmem vmstatKOSAKI Motohiro1-0/+2
Recently we encountered OOM problems due to memory use of the GEM cache. Generally a large amuont of Shmem/Tmpfs pages tend to create a memory shortage problem. We often use the following calculation to determine the amount of shmem pages: shmem = NR_ACTIVE_ANON + NR_INACTIVE_ANON - NR_ANON_PAGES however the expression does not consider isolated and mlocked pages. This patch adds explicit accounting for pages used by shmem and tmpfs.

The amount of memory allocated to kernel stacks can become significant and cause OOM conditions. However, we do not display the amount of memory consumed by stacks.

2009-09-22fs: make sure data stored into inode is properly seen before unlocking new inodeJan Kara1-6/+8
In theory it could happen that on one CPU we initialize a new inode but clearing of I_NEW | I_LOCK gets reordered before some of the initialization. Thus on another CPU we return not fully uptodate inode from iget_locked(). This seems to fix a corruption issue on ext3 mounted over NFS.

2009-09-21perf: Do the big rename: Performance Counters -> Performance EventsIngo Molnar1-3/+3
Bye-bye Performance Counters, welcome Performance Events! In the past few months the perfcounters subsystem has grown out its initial role of counting hardware events, and has become (and is becoming) a much broader generic event enumeration, reporting, logging, monitoring, analysis facility. Naming its core object 'perf_counter' and naming the subsystem 'perfcounters' has become more and more of a misnomer. With pending code like hw-breakpoints support the 'counter' name is less and less appropriate. All in one, we've decided to rename the subsystem to 'performance events' and to propagate this rename through all fields, variables and API names. (in an ABI compatible fashion) The word 'event' is also a bit shorter than 'counter' - which makes it slightly more convenient to write/handle as well. Thanks goes to Stephane Eranian who first observed this misnomer and suggested a rename. User-space tooling and ABI compatibility is not affected - this patch should be function-invariant. (Also, defconfigs were not touched to keep the size down.) This patch has been generated via the following script: FILES=$(find * -type f | grep -vE 'oprofile|[^K]config') sed -i \ -e 's/PERF_EVENT_/PERF_RECORD_/g' \ -e 's/PERF_COUNTER/PERF_EVENT/g' \ -e 's/perf_counter/perf_event/g' \ -e 's/nb_counters/nb_events/g' \ -e 's/swcounter/swevent/g' \ -e 's/tpcounter_event/tp_event/g' \ $FILES for N in $(find . -name perf_counter.[ch]); do M=$(echo $N | sed 's/perf_counter/perf_event/g') mv $N $M done FILES=$(find . -name perf_event.*) sed -i \ -e 's/COUNTER_MASK/REG_MASK/g' \ -e 's/COUNTER/EVENT/g' \ -e 's/\<event\>/event_id/g' \ -e 's/counter/event/g' \ -e 's/Counter/Event/g' \ $FILES ... to keep it as correct as possible. This script can also be used by anyone who has pending perfcounters patches - it converts a Linux kernel tree over to the new naming. We tried to time this change to the point in time where the amount of pending patches is the smallest: the end of the merge window. Namespace clashes were fixed up in a preparatory patch - and some stylistic fallout will be fixed up in a subsequent patch. ( NOTE: 'counters' are still the proper terminology when we deal with hardware registers - and these sed scripts are a bit over-eager in renaming them. I've undone some of that, but in case there's something left where 'counter' would be better than 'event' we can undo that on an individual basis instead of touching an otherwise nicely automated patch. ) Suggested-by: Stephane Eranian <eranian@google.com> Acked-by: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Acked-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> Reviewed-by: Arjan van de Ven <arjan@linux.intel.com> Cc: Mike Galbraith <efault@gmx.de> Cc: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> Cc: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Cc: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org> Cc: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org> Cc: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com> Cc: Kyle McMartin <kyle@mcmartin.ca> Cc: Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@de.ibm.com> Cc: "David S.

2009-09-17ext4: Fix the alloc on close after a truncate hueristicTheodore Ts'o1-2/+1
In an attempt to avoid doing an unneeded flush after opening a (previously non-existent) file with O_CREAT|O_TRUNC, the code only triggered the hueristic if ei->disksize was non-zero. Turns out that the VFS doesn't call ->truncate() if the file doesn't exist, and ei->disksize is always zero even if the file previously existed. So remove the test, since it isn't necessary and in fact disabled the hueristic.

2009-09-16ext4: limit block allocations for indirect-block files to < 2^32Eric Sandeen5-3/+38
Today, the ext4 allocator will happily allocate blocks past 2^32 for indirect-block files, which results in the block numbers getting truncated, and corruption ensues. This patch limits such allocations to < 2^32, and adds BUG_ONs if we do get blocks larger than that. This should address RH Bug 519471, ext4 bitmap allocator must limit blocks to < 2^32 * ext4_find_goal() is modified to choose a goal < UINT_MAX, so that our starting point is in an acceptable range. * ext4_xattr_block_set() is modified such that the goal block is < UINT_MAX, as above. * ext4_mb_regular_allocator() is modified so that the group search does not continue into groups which are too high * ext4_mb_use_preallocated() has a check that we don't use preallocated space which is too far out * ext4_alloc_blocks() and ext4_xattr_block_set() add some BUG_ONs No attempt has been made to limit inode locations to < 2^32, so we may wind up with blocks far from their inodes. Doing this much already will lead to some odd ENOSPC issues when the "lower 32" gets full, and further restricting inodes could make that even weirder. For high inodes, choosing a goal of the original, % UINT_MAX, may be a bit odd, but then we're in an odd situation anyway, and I don't know of a better heuristic.

2009-09-16ext4: Fix different block exchange issue in EXT4_IOC_MOVE_EXTAkira Fujita1-9/+37
If logical block offset of original file which is passed to EXT4_IOC_MOVE_EXT is different from donor file's, a calculation error occurs in ext4_calc_swap_extents(), therefore wrong block is exchanged between original file and donor file. As a result, we hit ext4_error() in check_block_validity(). To detect the logical offset difference in EXT4_IOC_MOVE_EXT, add checks to mext_calc_swap_extents() and handle it as error, since data exchange must be done between the same blocks in EXT4_IOC_MOVE_EXT.

2009-09-16ext3: Flush disk caches on fsync when neededJan Kara1-1/+11
In case we fsync() a file and inode is not dirty, we don't force a transaction to disk and hence don't flush disk caches. Thus file data could be just in disk caches and not on persistent storage. Fix the problem by flushing disk caches if we didn't force a transaction commit. Signed-off-by: Jan Kara <jack@suse.cz>
2009-09-16ext3: Add locking to ext3_do_update_inodeChris Mason1-0/+9
I've been struggling with this off and on while I've been testing the data=guarded work. The symptom is corrupted orphan lists and inodes with the wrong i_size stored on disk. I was convinced the data=guarded code was just missing a call to ext3_mark_inode_dirty, but tracing showed the i_disksize I was sending to ext3_mark_inode_dirty wasn't actually making it to the drive. ext3_mark_inode_dirty can be called without locks held (atime updates and a few others), so the data=guarded code uses locks while updating the in-memory inode, and then calls ext3_mark_inode_dirty without any locks held. But, ext3_mark_inode_dirty has no internal locking to make sure that only one CPU is updating the buffer head at a time. Generally this works out ok because everyone that changes the inode then calls ext3_mark_inode_dirty themselves. Even though it races, eventually someone updates the buffer heads and things move on. But there is still a risk of the wrong values getting in, and the data=guarded code seems to hit the race very often. Since everyone that changes the inode also logs it, it should be possible to fix this with some memory barriers. I'll leave that as an exercise to the reader and lock the buffer head instead. It it probably a good idea to have a different patch series for lockless bit flipping on the ext3 i_state field. ext3_do_update_inode &= clears EXT3_STATE_NEW without any locks held.

2009-09-16ext3: Fix possible deadlock between ext3_truncate() and ext3_get_blocks()Jan Kara1-4/+15
During truncate we are sometimes forced to start a new transaction as the amount of blocks to be journaled is both quite large and hard to predict. So far we restarted a transaction while holding truncate_mutex and that violates lock ordering because truncate_mutex ranks below transaction start (and it can lead to a real deadlock with ext3_get_blocks() allocating new blocks from ext3_writepage()). Luckily, the problem is easy to fix: We just drop the truncate_mutex before restarting the transaction and acquire it afterwards. We are safe to do this as by the time ext3_truncate() is called, all the page cache for the truncated part of the file is dropped and so writepage() cannot come and allocate new blocks in the part of the file we are truncating. The rest of writers is stopped by us holding i_mutex. Signed-off-by: Jan Kara <jack@suse.cz>

2009-09-16writeback: separate starting of sync vs opportunistic writebackJens Axboe2-82/+70
bdi_start_writeback() is currently split into two paths, one for WB_SYNC_NONE and one for WB_SYNC_ALL. Add bdi_sync_writeback() for WB_SYNC_ALL writeback and let bdi_start_writeback() handle only WB_SYNC_NONE. Push down the writeback_control allocation and only accept the parameters that make sense for each function. This cleans up the API considerably. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com>
2009-09-16writeback: inline allocation failure handling in bdi_alloc_queue_work()Jens Axboe1-22/+27
This gets rid of work == NULL in bdi_queue_work() and puts the OOM handling where it belongs. Acked-by: Jan Kara <jack@suse.cz> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com>
2009-09-16writeback: use RCU to protect bdi_listJens Axboe1-3/+3
Now that bdi_writeback_all() no longer handles integrity writeback, it doesn't have to block anymore. This means that we can switch bdi_list reader side protection to RCU. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com>
2009-09-16writeback: only use bdi_writeback_all() for WB_SYNC_NONE writeoutJens Axboe1-56/+14
Data integrity writeback must use bdi_start_writeback() and ensure that wbc->sb and wbc->bdi are set. Acked-by: Jan Kara <jack@suse.cz> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com>
