2011-07-06xfs: unpin stale inodes directly in IOP_COMMITTEDDave Chinner2-8/+10
When inodes are marked stale in a transaction, they are treated specially when the inode log item is being inserted into the AIL. It tries to avoid moving the log item forward in the AIL due to a race condition with the writing the underlying buffer back to disk. The was "fixed" in commit de25c18 ("xfs: avoid moving stale inodes in the AIL"). To avoid moving the item forward, we return a LSN smaller than the commit_lsn of the completing transaction, thereby trying to trick the commit code into not moving the inode forward at all. I'm not sure this ever worked as intended - it assumes the inode is already in the AIL, but I don't think the returned LSN would have been small enough to prevent moving the inode. It appears that the reason it worked is that the lower LSN of the inodes meant they were inserted into the AIL and flushed before the inode buffer (which was moved to the commit_lsn of the transaction). The big problem is that with delayed logging, the returning of the different LSN means insertion takes the slow, non-bulk path. Worse yet is that insertion is to a position -before- the commit_lsn so it is doing a AIL traversal on every insertion, and has to walk over all the items that have already been inserted into the AIL. It's expensive. To compound the matter further, with delayed logging inodes are likely to go from clean to stale in a single checkpoint, which means they aren't even in the AIL at all when we come across them at AIL insertion time. Hence these were all getting inserted into the AIL when they simply do not need to be as inodes marked XFS_ISTALE are never written back. Transactional/recovery integrity is maintained in this case by the other items in the unlink transaction that were modified (e.g. the AGI btree blocks) and committed in the same checkpoint. So to fix this, simply unpin the stale inodes directly in xfs_inode_item_committed() and return -1 to indicate that the AIL insertion code does not need to do any further processing of these inodes.

2011-06-23xfs: prevent bogus assert when trying to remove non-existent attributeDave Chinner1-0/+7
If the attribute fork on an inode is in btree format and has multiple levels (i.e node format rather than leaf format), then a lookup failure will trigger an assert failure in xfs_da_path_shift if the flag XFS_DA_OP_OKNOENT is not set. This flag is used to indicate to the directory btree code that not finding an entry is not a fatal error. In the case of doing a lookup for a directory name removal, this is valid as a user cannot insert an arbitrary name to remove from the directory btree. However, in the case of the attribute tree, a user has direct control over the attribute name and can ask for any random name to be removed without any validation. In this case, fsstress is asking for a non-existent user.selinux attribute to be removed, and that is causing xfs_da_path_shift() to fall off the bottom of the tree where it asserts that a lookup failure is allowed. Because the flag is not set, we die a horrible death on a debug enable kernel. Prevent this assert from firing on attribute removes by adding the op_flag XFS_DA_OP_OKNOENT to atribute removal operations. Discovered when testing on a SELinux enabled system by fsstress in test 070 by trying to remove a non-existent user.selinux attribute.

2011-06-23xfs: clear XFS_IDIRTY_RELEASE on truncate downDave Chinner1-2/+5
When an inode is truncated down, speculative preallocation is removed from the inode. This should also reset the state bits for controlling whether preallocation is subsequently removed when the file is next closed. The flag is not being cleared, so repeated operations on a file that first involve a truncate (e.g. multiple repeated dd invocations on a file) give different file layouts for the second and subsequent invocations. Fix this by clearing the XFS_IDIRTY_RELEASE state bit when the XFS_ITRUNCATED bit is detected in xfs_release() and hence ensure that speculative delalloc is removed on files that have been truncated down.

2011-06-23xfs: reset inode per-lifetime state when recycling itDave Chinner2-4/+19
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.

2011-06-16xfs: make log devices with write back caches workChristoph Hellwig3-95/+41
There's no reason not to support cache flushing on external log devices. The only thing this really requires is flushing the data device first both in fsync and log commits. A side effect is that we also have to remove the barrier write test during mount, which has been superflous since the new FLUSH+FUA code anyway. Also use the chance to flush the RT subvolume write cache before the fsync commit, which is required for correct semantics.

2011-05-24xfs: do not discard alloc btree blocksChristoph Hellwig4-5/+10
Blocks for the allocation btree are allocated from and released to the AGFL, and thus frequently reused. Even worse we do not have an easy way to avoid using an AGFL block when it is discarded due to the simple FILO list of free blocks, and thus can frequently stall on blocks that are currently undergoing a discard. Add a flag to the busy extent tracking structure to skip the discard for allocation btree blocks. In normal operation these blocks are reused frequently enough that there is no need to discard them anyway, but if they spill over to the allocation btree as part of a balance we "leak" blocks that we would otherwise discard. We could fix this by adding another flag and keeping these block in the rbtree even after they aren't busy any more so that we could discard them when they migrate out of the AGFL. Given that this would cause significant overhead I don't think it's worthwile for now. Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de> Signed-off-by: Alex Elder <aelder@sgi.com>

2011-05-19xfs: obey minleft values during extent allocation correctlyDave Chinner1-1/+0
When allocating an extent that is long enough to consume the remaining free space in an AG, we need to ensure that the allocation leaves enough space in the AG for any subsequent bmap btree blocks that are needed to track the new extent. These have to be allocated in the same AG as we only reserve enough blocks in an allocation transaction for modification of the freespace trees in a single AG. xfs_alloc_fix_minleft() has been considering blocks on the AGFL as free blocks available for extent and bmbt block allocation, which is not correct - blocks on the AGFL are there exclusively for the use of the free space btrees. As a result, when minleft is less than the number of blocks on the AGFL, xfs_alloc_fix_minleft() does not trim the given extent to leave minleft blocks available for bmbt allocation, and hence we can fail allocation during bmbt record insertion.

2011-05-19xfs: reset buffer pointers before freeing themDave Chinner4-38/+67
When we free a vmapped buffer, we need to ensure the vmap address and length we free is the same as when it was allocated. In various places in the log code we change the memory the buffer is pointing to before issuing IO, but we never reset the buffer to point back to it's original memory (or no memory, if that is the case for the buffer). As a result, when we free the buffer it points to memory that is owned by something else and attempts to unmap and free it. Because the range does not match any known mapped range, it can trigger BUG_ON() traps in the vmap code, and potentially corrupt the vmap area tracking. Fix this by always resetting these buffers to their original state before freeing them.

2011-05-09xfs: fix race condition in AIL push triggerDave Chinner1-6/+10
The recent conversion of the xfsaild functionality to a work queue introduced a hard-to-hit log space grant hang. One is caused by a race condition in determining whether there is a psh in progress or not. The XFS_AIL_PUSHING_BIT is used to determine whether a push is currently in progress. When the AIL push work completes, it checked whether the target changed and cleared the PUSHING bit to allow a new push to be requeued. The race condition is as follows: Thread 1 push work smp_wmb() smp_rmb() check ailp->xa_target unchanged update ailp->xa_target test/set PUSHING bit does not queue clear PUSHING bit does not requeue Now that the push target is updated, new attempts to push the AIL will not trigger as the push target will be the same, and hence despite trying to push the AIL we won't ever wake it again. The fix is to ensure that the AIL push work clears the PUSHING bit before it checks if the target is unchanged. As a result, both push triggers operate on the same test/set bit criteria, so even if we race in the push work and miss the target update, the thread requesting the push will still set the PUSHING bit and queue the push work to occur. For safety sake, the same queue check is done if the push work detects the target change, though only one of the two will will queue new work due to the use of test_and_set_bit() checks.

The recent conversion of the xfsaild functionality to a work queue introduced a hard-to-hit log space grant hang. One of the problems discovered is a target mismatch between the item pushing loop and the target itself. The push trigger checks for the target increasing (i.e. new target > current) while the push loop only pushes items that have a LSN < current. As a result, we can get the situation where the push target is X, the items at the tail of the AIL have LSN X and they don't get pushed. The push work then completes thinking it is done, and cannot be restarted until the push target increases to >= X + 1. If the push target then never increases (because the tail is not moving), then we never run the push work again and we stall. Fix it by making sure log items with a LSN that matches the target exactly are pushed during the loop.

2011-05-09xfs: ensure reclaim cursor is reset correctly at end of AGDave Chinner1-0/+1
On a 32 bit highmem PowerPC machine, the XFS inode cache was growing without bound and exhausting low memory causing the OOM killer to be triggered. After some effort, the problem was reproduced on a 32 bit x86 highmem machine. The problem is that the per-ag inode reclaim index cursor was not getting reset to the start of the AG if the radix tree tag lookup found no more reclaimable inodes. Hence every further reclaim attempt started at the same index beyond where any reclaimable inodes lay, and no further background reclaim ever occurred from the AG. Without background inode reclaim the VM driven cache shrinker simply cannot keep up with cache growth, and OOM is the result. While the change that exposed the problem was the conversion of the inode reclaim to use work queues for background reclaim, it was not the cause of the bug. The bug was introduced when the cursor code was added, just waiting for some weird configuration to strike....

2011-05-09xfs: make AIL target updates and compares 32bit safe.Dave Chinner1-3/+4
The recent conversion of the xfsaild functionality to a work queue introduced a hard-to-hit log space grant hang. One of the problems noticed was that updates of the push target are not 32 bit safe as the target is a 64 bit value. We cannot copy a 64 bit LSN without the possibility of corrupting the result when racing with another updating thread. We have function to do this update safely without needing to care about 32/64 bit issues - xfs_trans_ail_copy_lsn() - so use that when updating the AIL push target. Also move the reading of the target in the push work inside the AIL lock, and use XFS_LSN_CMP() for the unlocked comparison during work termination to close read holes as well.

2011-05-09xfs: always push the AIL to the targetDave Chinner1-1/+1
The recent conversion of the xfsaild functionality to a work queue introduced a hard-to-hit log space grant hang. One of the problems discovered is a target mismatch between the item pushing loop and the target itself. The push trigger checks for the target increasing (i.e. new target > current) while the push loop only pushes items that have a LSN < current. As a result, we can get the situation where the push target is X, the items at the tail of the AIL have LSN X and they don't get pushed. The push work then completes thinking it is done, and cannot be restarted until the push target increases to >= X + 1. If the push target then never increases (because the tail is not moving), then we never run the push work again and we stall. Fix it by making sure log items with a LSN that matches the target exactly are pushed during the loop.

2011-05-09xfs: exit AIL push work correctly when AIL is emptyDave Chinner1-13/+13
The recent conversion of the xfsaild functionality to a work queue introduced a hard-to-hit log space grant hang. The main cause is a regression where a work exit path fails to clear the PUSHING state and recheck the target correctly. Make both exit paths do the same PUSHING bit clearing and target checking when the "no more work to be done" condition is hit.

2011-05-09xfs: ensure reclaim cursor is reset correctly at end of AGDave Chinner1-0/+1
On a 32 bit highmem PowerPC machine, the XFS inode cache was growing without bound and exhausting low memory causing the OOM killer to be triggered. After some effort, the problem was reproduced on a 32 bit x86 highmem machine. The problem is that the per-ag inode reclaim index cursor was not getting reset to the start of the AG if the radix tree tag lookup found no more reclaimable inodes. Hence every further reclaim attempt started at the same index beyond where any reclaimable inodes lay, and no further background reclaim ever occurred from the AG. Without background inode reclaim the VM driven cache shrinker simply cannot keep up with cache growth, and OOM is the result. While the change that exposed the problem was the conversion of the inode reclaim to use work queues for background reclaim, it was not the cause of the bug. The bug was introduced when the cursor code was added, just waiting for some weird configuration to strike....

2011-04-28xfs: exact busy extent trackingChristoph Hellwig9-248/+237
Update the extent tree in case we have to reuse a busy extent, so that it always is kept uptodate. This is done by replacing the busy list searches with a new xfs_alloc_busy_reuse helper, which updates the busy extent tree in case of a reuse. This allows us to allow reusing metadata extents unconditionally, and thus avoid log forces especially for allocation btree blocks.

2011-04-28xfs: do not immediately reuse busy extent rangesChristoph Hellwig2-79/+361
Every time we reallocate a busy extent, we cause a synchronous log force to occur to ensure the freeing transaction is on disk before we continue and use the newly allocated extent. This is extremely sub-optimal as we have to mark every transaction with blocks that get reused as synchronous. Instead of searching the busy extent list after deciding on the extent to allocate, check each candidate extent during the allocation decisions as to whether they are in the busy list. If they are in the busy list, we trim the busy range out of the extent we have found and determine if that trimmed range is still OK for allocation. In many cases, this check can be incorporated into the allocation extent alignment code which already does trimming of the found extent before determining if it is a valid candidate for allocation.

While we need to make sure we do not reuse busy extents, there is no need to force out busy extents when moving them between the AGFL and the freespace btree as we still take care of that when doing the real allocation. To avoid the log force when just moving extents from the different free space tracking structures, move the busy search out of xfs_alloc_get_freelist into the callers that need it, and move the busy list insert from xfs_free_ag_extent which is used both by AGFL refills and real allocation to xfs_free_extent, which is only used by the latter.
