2008-10-07NFS: Don't use range_cyclic for data integrity syncsTrond Myklebust1-1/+2

2008-07-15NFS: Remove BKL requirement from attribute updatesTrond Myklebust1-5/+10
The main problem is dealing with inode->i_size: we need to set the inode->i_lock on all attribute updates, and so vmtruncate won't cut it. Make an NFS-private version of vmtruncate that has the necessary locking semantics. The result should be that the following inode attribute updates are protected by inode->i_lock nfsi->cache_validity nfsi->read_cache_jiffies nfsi->attrtimeo nfsi->attrtimeo_timestamp nfsi->change_attr nfsi->last_updated nfsi->cache_change_attribute nfsi->access_cache nfsi->access_cache_entry_lru nfsi->access_cache_inode_lru nfsi->acl_access nfsi->acl_default nfsi->nfs_page_tree nfsi->ncommit nfsi->npages nfsi->open_files nfsi->silly_list nfsi->acl nfsi->open_states inode->i_size inode->i_atime inode->i_mtime inode->i_ctime inode->i_nlink inode->i_uid inode->i_gid The following is protected by dir->i_mutex nfsi->cookieverf Signed-off-by: Trond Myklebust <Trond.Myklebust@netapp.com>
2008-07-09NFS: Allow redirtying of a completed unstable write.Trond Myklebust1-33/+32
Currently, if an unstable write completes, we cannot redirty the page in order to reflect a new change in the page data until after we've sent a COMMIT request. This patch allows a page rewrite to proceed without the unnecessary COMMIT step, putting it immediately back onto the dirty page list, undoing the VM unstable write accounting, and removing the NFS_PAGE_TAG_COMMIT tag from the NFS radix tree.

2008-07-09NFS: Revert commit 44dd151dTrond Myklebust1-11/+2
Revert commit 44dd151d "NFS: Don't mark a written page as uptodate until it is on disk". While it is true that the write may fail, that is always the case. There is no reason why we should treat data on pages that are not already marked as PG_uptodate as being special. The only thing we gain is a noticeable slowdown when re-reading these pages.

If a file is being extended, and we're creating a hole, we might as well declare the entire page to be up to date.

The commit 2785259631697ebb0749a3782cca206e2e542939 (nfs: use GFP_NOFS preloads for radix-tree insertion) appears to have introduced a bug: We only want to call radix_tree_preload() once after creating a request.

2008-04-19NFS: Fix nfs_wb_page() to always exit with an error or a clean pageTrond Myklebust1-11/+12
It is possible for nfs_wb_page() to sometimes exit with 0 return value, yet the page is left in a dirty state. For instance in the case where the server rebooted, and the COMMIT request failed, then all the previously "clean" pages which were cached by the server, but were not guaranteed to have been writted out to disk, have to be redirtied and resent to the server. The fix is to have nfs_wb_page_priority() check that the page is clean before it exits... This fixes a condition that triggers the BUG_ON(PagePrivate(page)) in nfs_create_request() when we're in the nfs_readpage() path. Also eliminate a redundant BUG_ON(!PageLocked(page)) while we're at it. It turns out that clear_page_dirty_for_io() has the exact same test.

2008-03-19nfs: don't ignore return value from nfs_pageio_add_requestFred Isaman1-1/+7
Ignoring the return value from nfs_pageio_add_request can cause deadlocks. In read path: call nfs_pageio_add_request from readpage_async_filler assume at this point that there are requests already in desc, that can't be merged with the current request. so nfs_pageio_doio is fired up to clear out desc. assume something goes wrong in setting up the io, so desc->pg_error is set. This causes nfs_pageio_add_request to return 0, *WITHOUT* adding the original request. BUT, since return code is ignored, readpage_async_filler assumes it has been added, and does nothing further, leaving page locked. do_generic_mapping_read will eventually call lock_page, resulting in deadlock In write path: page is marked dirty by generic_perform_write nfs_writepages is called call nfs_pageio_add_request from nfs_page_async_flush assume at this point that there are requests already in desc, that can't be merged with the current request. so nfs_pageio_doio is fired up to clear out desc. assume something goes wrong in setting up the io, so desc->pg_error is set. This causes nfs_page_async_flush to return 0, *WITHOUT* adding the original request, yet marking the request as locked (PG_BUSY) and in writeback, clearing dirty marks. The next time a write is done to the page, deadlock will result as nfs_write_end calls nfs_update_request Signed-off-by: Fred Isaman <iisaman@citi.umich.edu> Signed-off-by: Trond Myklebust <Trond.Myklebust@netapp.com>

2008-02-25NFS: Ensure that the asynchronous RPC calls complete on nfsiod.Trond Myklebust1-0/+2
We want to ensure that rpc_call_ops that involve mntput() are run on nfsiod rather than on rpciod, so that they don't deadlock when the resulting umount calls rpc_shutdown_client(). Hence we specify that read, write and commit calls must complete on nfsiod. Ditto for NFSv4 open, lock, locku and close asynchronous calls. Signed-off-by: Trond Myklebust <Trond.Myklebust@netapp.com>
2008-02-25NFS: Fix a deadlock with lazy umountTrond Myklebust1-3/+10
We can't allow rpc callback functions like task->tk_ops->rpc_call_prepare() and task->tk_ops->rpc_call_done() to call mntput() in any way, since that will cause a deadlock when the call to rpc_shutdown_client() attempts to wait on 'task' to complete. We can avoid the above deadlock by moving calls to mntput to task->tk_ops->rpc_release() callback, since at that time the task will be marked as completed, and so rpc_shutdown_client won't attempt to wait on it.

2008-02-07NFS: Fix a potential file corruption issue when writingTrond Myklebust1-3/+17
If the inode is flagged as having an invalid mapping, then we can't rely on the PageUptodate() flag. Ensure that we don't use the "anti-fragmentation" write optimisation in nfs_updatepage(), since that will cause NFS to write out areas of the page that are no longer guaranteed to be up to date. A potential corruption could occur in the following scenario: client 1 client 2 =============== =============== fd=open("f",O_CREAT|O_WRONLY,0644); write(fd,"fubar\n",6); // cache last page close(fd); fd=open("f",O_WRONLY|O_APPEND); write(fd,"foo\n",4); close(fd); fd=open("f",O_WRONLY|O_APPEND); write(fd,"bar\n",4); close(fd); ----- The bug may lead to the file "f" reading 'fubar\n\0\0\0\nbar\n' because client 2 does not update the cached page after re-opening the file for write. Instead it keeps it marked as PageUptodate() until someone calls invaldate_inode_pages2() (typically by calling read()). Signed-off-by: Trond Myklebust <Trond.Myklebust@netapp.com>
2008-02-05Pagecache zeroing: zero_user_segment, zero_user_segments and zero_userChristoph Lameter1-3/+1
Simplify page cache zeroing of segments of pages through 3 functions zero_user_segments(page, start1, end1, start2, end2) Zeros two segments of the page. It takes the position where to start and end the zeroing which avoids length calculations and makes code clearer. zero_user_segment(page, start, end) Same for a single segment. zero_user(page, start, length) Length variant for the case where we know the length. We remove the zero_user_page macro. Issues: 1. Its a macro. Inline functions are preferable. 2. The KM_USER0 macro is only defined for HIGHMEM. Having to treat this special case everywhere makes the code needlessly complex. The parameter for zeroing is always KM_USER0 except in one single case that we open code. Avoiding KM_USER0 makes a lot of code not having to be dealing with the special casing for HIGHMEM anymore. Dealing with kmap is only necessary for HIGHMEM configurations. In those configurations we use KM_USER0 like we do for a series of other functions defined in highmem.h. Since KM_USER0 is depends on HIGHMEM the existing zero_user_page function could not be a macro. zero_user_* functions introduced here can be be inline because that constant is not used when these functions are called. Also extract the flushing of the caches to be outside of the kmap.

2007-10-17nfs: remove congestion_end()Peter Zijlstra1-3/+1
These patches aim to improve balance_dirty_pages() and directly address three issues: 1) inter device starvation 2) stacked device deadlocks 3) inter process starvation 1 and 2 are a direct result from removing the global dirty limit and using per device dirty limits. By giving each device its own dirty limit is will no longer starve another device, and the cyclic dependancy on the dirty limit is broken. In order to efficiently distribute the dirty limit across the independant devices a floating proportion is used, this will allocate a share of the total limit proportional to the device's recent activity. 3 is done by also scaling the dirty limit proportional to the current task's recent dirty rate. This patch: nfs: remove congestion_end(). It's redundant, clear_bdi_congested() already wakes the waiters.
