2010-07-23nilfs2: do not update log cursor for small changeRyusuke Konishi1-1/+0
Super blocks of nilfs are periodically overwritten in order to record the recent log position. This shortens recovery time after unclean unmount, but the current implementation performs the update even for a few blocks of change. If the filesystem gets small changes slowly and continually, super blocks may be updated excessively. This moderates the issue by skipping update of log cursor if it does not cross a segment boundary. Signed-off-by: Ryusuke Konishi <konishi.ryusuke@lab.ntt.co.jp>
2010-07-23nilfs2: sync super blocks in turnsJiro SEKIBA1-4/+6
This will sync super blocks in turns instead of syncing duplicate super blocks at the time. This will help searching valid super root when super block is written into disk before log is written, which is happen when barrier-less block devices are unmounted uncleanly. In the situation, old super block likely points to valid log. This patch introduces ns_sbwcount member to the nilfs object and adds nilfs_sb_will_flip() function; ns_sbwcount counts how many times super blocks write back to the disk. And, nilfs_sb_will_flip() decides whether flipping required or not based on the count of ns_sbwcount to sync super blocks asymmetrically. The following functions are also changed: - nilfs_prepare_super(): flips super blocks according to the argument. The argument is calculated by nilfs_sb_will_flip() function. - nilfs_cleanup_super(): sets "clean" flag to both super blocks if they point to the same checkpoint. To update both of super block information, caller of nilfs_commit_super must set the information on both super blocks.

2010-05-10nilfs2: change sc_timer from a pointer to an embedded one in struct ↵Li Hong1-18/+13
nilfs_sc_info In nilfs_segctor_thread(), timer is a local variable allocated on stack. Its address can't be set to sci->sc_timer and passed in several procedures. It works now by chance, just because other procedures are called by nilfs_segctor_thread() directly or indirectly and the stack hasn't been deallocated yet.

There are only two lines of code in nilfs_segctor_init(). From a logic design view, the first line 'sci->sc_seq_done = sci->sc_seq_request;' should be put in nilfs_segctor_new(). Even in nilfs_segctor_new(), this initialization is needless because sci is kzalloc-ed. So nilfs_segctor_init() is only a wrap call to nilfs_segctor_start_thread().

This adds a field to record the latest checkpoint number in the nilfs_segment_summary structure. This will help to recover the latest checkpoint number from logs on disk. This field is intended for crucial cases in which super blocks have lost pointer to the latest log.

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.

2010-03-24nilfs2: fix hang-up of cleaner after log writer returned with errorRyusuke Konishi1-2/+1
According to the report from Andreas Beckmann (Message-ID: <4BA54677.3090902@abeckmann.de>), nilfs in 2.6.33 kernel got stuck after a disk full error. This turned out to be a regression by log writer updates merged at kernel 2.6.33. nilfs_segctor_abort_construction, which is a cleanup function for erroneous cases, was skipping writeback completion for some logs. This fixes the bug and would resolve the hang issue.

2010-02-13nilfs2: fix potential hang in nilfs_error on errors=remount-roRyusuke Konishi1-2/+9
nilfs_error() calls nilfs_detach_segment_constructor() if errors=remount-ro option is specified, and this may lead to a hang due to recursive locking of, for instance, nilfs->ns_segctor_sem and others. In this case, detaching segment constructor is not necessary because read-only flag is set to the filesystem and further writes are blocked.

2009-11-30nilfs2: separate wait function from nilfs_segctor_writeRyusuke Konishi1-95/+145
This separates wait function for submitted logs from the write function nilfs_segctor_write(). A new list of segment buffers "sc_write_logs" is added to hold logs under writing, and double buffering is partially applied to hide io latency. At this point, the double buffering is disabled for blocksize < pagesize because page dirty flag is turned off during write and dirty buffers are not properly collected for pages crossing over segments. To receive full benefit of the double buffering, further refinement is needed to move the io wait outside the lock section of log writer.

However, it looks like that calling back is ommited when disk I/O is busy.

Andrea Gelmini gave me a report that a kernel oops hit on a nilfs filesystem with a 1KB block size when doing rsync. This turned out to be caused by an inconsistency of dirty state between a page and its buffers storing b-tree node blocks. If the page had multiple buffers split over multiple logs, and if the logs were written at a time, a dirty flag remained in the page even every dirty flag in the buffers was cleared. This will fix the failure by dropping the dirty flag properly for pages with the discrete multiple b-tree nodes.

2009-04-07nilfs2: introduce secondary super blockRyusuke Konishi1-5/+3
The former versions didn't have extra super blocks. This improves the weak point by introducing another super block at unused region in tail of the partition. This doesn't break disk format compatibility; older versions just ingore the secondary super block, and new versions just recover it if it doesn't exist. The partition created by an old mkfs may not have unused region, but in that case, the secondary super block will not be added. This doesn't make more redundant copies of the super block; it is a future work.

will reduce some lines of segment constructor. Previously, the state was complexly controlled through a list of segments in order to keep consistency in meta data of usage state of segments. Instead, this presents ``calculated'' active flags to userland cleaner program and stop maintaining its real flag on disk. Only by this fake flag, the cleaner cannot exactly know if each segment is reclaimable or not. However, the recent extension of nilfs_sustat ioctl struct (nilfs2-extend-nilfs_sustat-ioctl-struct.patch) can prevent the cleaner from reclaiming in-use segment wrongly. So, now I can apply this for simplification.

2009-04-07nilfs2: mark minor flag for checkpoint created by internal operationRyusuke Konishi1-0/+9
Nilfs creates checkpoints even for garbage collection or metadata updates such as checkpoint mode change. So, user often sees checkpoints created only by such internal operations.

2009-04-07nilfs2: extend nilfs_sustat ioctl structRyusuke Konishi1-30/+9
This adds a new argument to the nilfs_sustat structure. The extended field allows to delete volatile active state of segments, which was needed to protect freshly-created segments from garbage collection but has confused code dealing with segments. This extension alleviates the mess and gives room for further simplifications. The volatile active flag is not persistent, so it's eliminable on this occasion without affecting compatibility other than the ioctl change.

2009-04-07nilfs2: remove timedwait ioctl commandRyusuke Konishi1-4/+1
This removes NILFS_IOCTL_TIMEDWAIT command from ioctl interface along with the related flags and wait queue. The command is terrible because it just sleeps in the ioctl. I prefer to avoid this by devising means of event polling in userland program. By reconsidering the userland GC daemon, I found this is possible without changing behaviour of the daemon and sacrificing efficiency.

2009-04-07nilfs2: avoid double error caused by nilfs_transaction_endRyusuke Konishi1-15/+28
Pekka Enberg pointed out that double error handlings found after nilfs_transaction_end() can be avoided by separating abort operation: OK, I don't understand this. The only way nilfs_transaction_end() can fail is if we have NILFS_TI_SYNC set and we fail to construct the segment. But why do we want to construct a segment if we don't commit? I guess what I'm asking is why don't we have a separate nilfs_transaction_abort() function that can't fail for the erroneous case to avoid this double error value tracking thing? This does the separation and renames nilfs_transaction_end() to nilfs_transaction_commit() for clarification. Since, some calls of these functions were used just for exclusion control against the segment constructor, they are replaced with semaphore operations.

2009-04-07nilfs2: fix missed-sync issue for do_sync_mapping_range()Ryusuke Konishi1-48/+72
Chris Mason pointed out that there is a missed sync issue in nilfs_writepages(): On Wed, 17 Dec 2008 21:52:55 -0500, Chris Mason wrote: > It looks like nilfs_writepage ignores WB_SYNC_NONE, which is used by > do_sync_mapping_range(). where WB_SYNC_NONE in do_sync_mapping_range() was replaced with WB_SYNC_ALL by Nick's patch (commit: ee53a891f47444c53318b98dac947ede963db400). This fixes the problem by letting nilfs_writepages() write out the log of file data within the range if sync_mode is WB_SYNC_ALL. This involves removal of nilfs_file_aio_write() which was previously needed to ensure O_SYNC sync writes.

2009-04-07nilfs2: segment constructorRyusuke Konishi1-0/+3187
This adds the segment constructor (also called log writer). The segment constructor collects dirty buffers for every dirty inode, makes summaries of the buffers, assigns disk block addresses to the buffers, and then submits BIOs for the buffers.
