2010-03-05dquot: cleanup inode allocation / freeing routinesChristoph Hellwig1-5/+5
Get rid of the alloc_inode and free_inode dquot operations - they are always called from the filesystem and if a filesystem really needs their own (which none currently does) it can just call into it's own routine directly. Also get rid of the vfs_dq_alloc/vfs_dq_free wrappers and always call the lowlevel dquot_alloc_inode / dqout_free_inode routines directly, which now lose the number argument which is always 1.

2010-02-14reiserfs: Fix softlockup while waiting on an inodeFrederic Weisbecker1-0/+2
When we wait for an inode through reiserfs_iget(), we hold the reiserfs lock. And waiting for an inode may imply waiting for its writeback. But the inode writeback path may also require the reiserfs lock, which leads to a deadlock. We just need to release the reiserfs lock from reiserfs_iget() to fix this.

2010-01-05reiserfs: Relax the lock before truncating pagesFrederic Weisbecker1-1/+10
While truncating a file, reiserfs_setattr() calls inode_setattr() that will truncate the mapping for the given inode, but for that it needs the pages locks. In order to release these, the owners need the reiserfs lock to complete their jobs. But they can't, as we don't release it before calling inode_setattr(). We need to do that to fix the following softlockups: INFO: task flush-8:0:2149 blocked for more than 120 seconds.

2010-01-05reiserfs: Fix recursive lock on lchownFrederic Weisbecker1-3/+5
On chown, reiserfs will call reiserfs_setattr() to change the owner of the given inode, but it may also recursively call reiserfs_setattr() to propagate the owner change to the private xattr files for this inode. Hence, the reiserfs lock may be acquired twice which is not wanted as reiserfs_setattr() calls journal_begin() that is going to try to relax the lock in order to safely acquire the journal mutex. Using reiserfs_write_lock_once() from reiserfs_setattr() solves the problem. This fixes the following warning, that precedes a lockdep report.

2009-12-14reiserfs: Fix reiserfs lock and journal lock inversion dependencyFrederic Weisbecker1-2/+3
When we were using the bkl, we didn't care about dependencies against other locks, but the mutex conversion created new ones, which is why we have reiserfs_mutex_lock_safe(), which unlocks the reiserfs lock before acquiring another mutex. But this trick actually fails if we have acquired the reiserfs lock recursively, as we try to unlock it to acquire the new mutex without inverted dependency, but we eventually only decrease its depth. This happens in the case of a nested inode creation/deletion. Say we have no space left on the device, we create an inode and tak the lock but fail to create its entry, then we release the inode using iput(), which calls reiserfs_delete_inode() that takes the reiserfs lock recursively. The path eventually ends up in journal_begin() where we try to take the journal safely but we fail because of the reiserfs lock recursion: [ INFO: possible circular locking dependency detected ] 2.6.32-06486-g053fe57 #2 ------------------------------------------------------- vi/23454 is trying to acquire lock: (&journal->j_mutex){+.+...}, at: [<c110dac4>] do_journal_begin_r+0x64/0x2f0 but task is already holding lock: (&REISERFS_SB(s)->lock){+.+.+.}, at: [<c11106a8>] reiserfs_write_lock+0x28/0x40 which lock already depends on the new lock. the existing dependency chain (in reverse order) is: -> #1 (&REISERFS_SB(s)->lock){+.+.+.}: [<c104f8f3>] validate_chain+0xa23/0xf70 [<c1050325>] __lock_acquire+0x4e5/0xa70 [<c105092a>] lock_acquire+0x7a/0xa0 [<c134c78f>] mutex_lock_nested+0x5f/0x2b0 [<c11106a8>] reiserfs_write_lock+0x28/0x40 [<c110dacb>] do_journal_begin_r+0x6b/0x2f0 [<c110ddcf>] journal_begin+0x7f/0x120 [<c10f76c2>] reiserfs_remount+0x212/0x4d0 [<c1093997>] do_remount_sb+0x67/0x140 [<c10a9ca6>] do_mount+0x436/0x6b0 [<c10a9f86>] sys_mount+0x66/0xa0 [<c1002c50>] sysenter_do_call+0x12/0x36 -> #0 (&journal->j_mutex){+.+...}: [<c104fe38>] validate_chain+0xf68/0xf70 [<c1050325>] __lock_acquire+0x4e5/0xa70 [<c105092a>] lock_acquire+0x7a/0xa0 [<c134c78f>] mutex_lock_nested+0x5f/0x2b0 [<c110dac4>] do_journal_begin_r+0x64/0x2f0 [<c110ddcf>] journal_begin+0x7f/0x120 [<c10ef52f>] reiserfs_delete_inode+0x9f/0x140 [<c10a55fc>] generic_delete_inode+0x9c/0x150 [<c10a56ed>] generic_drop_inode+0x3d/0x60 [<c10a4607>] iput+0x47/0x50 [<c10e915c>] reiserfs_create+0x16c/0x1c0 [<c109a9c1>] vfs_create+0xc1/0x130 [<c109dbec>] do_filp_open+0x81c/0x920 [<c109004f>] do_sys_open+0x4f/0x110 [<c1090179>] sys_open+0x29/0x40 [<c1002c50>] sysenter_do_call+0x12/0x36 other info that might help us debug this: 2 locks held by vi/23454: #0: (&sb->s_type->i_mutex_key#5){+.+.+.}, at: [<c109d64e>] do_filp_open+0x27e/0x920 #1: (&REISERFS_SB(s)->lock){+.+.+.}, at: [<c11106a8>] reiserfs_write_lock+0x28/0x40 stack backtrace: Pid: 23454, comm: vi Not tainted 2.6.32-06486-g053fe57 #2 Call Trace: [<c134b202>] ? printk+0x18/0x1e [<c104e960>] print_circular_bug+0xc0/0xd0 [<c104fe38>] validate_chain+0xf68/0xf70 [<c104ca9b>] ? trace_hardirqs_off+0xb/0x10 [<c1050325>] __lock_acquire+0x4e5/0xa70 [<c105092a>] lock_acquire+0x7a/0xa0 [<c110dac4>] ? do_journal_begin_r+0x64/0x2f0 [<c134c78f>] mutex_lock_nested+0x5f/0x2b0 [<c110dac4>] ? do_journal_begin_r+0x64/0x2f0 [<c110dac4>] ? do_journal_begin_r+0x64/0x2f0 [<c110ff80>] ? delete_one_xattr+0x0/0x1c0 [<c110dac4>] do_journal_begin_r+0x64/0x2f0 [<c110ddcf>] journal_begin+0x7f/0x120 [<c11105b5>] ? reiserfs_delete_xattrs+0x15/0x50 [<c10ef52f>] reiserfs_delete_inode+0x9f/0x140 [<c10a55bf>] ? generic_delete_inode+0x5f/0x150 [<c10ef490>] ? reiserfs_delete_inode+0x0/0x140 [<c10a55fc>] generic_delete_inode+0x9c/0x150 [<c10a56ed>] generic_drop_inode+0x3d/0x60 [<c10a4607>] iput+0x47/0x50 [<c10e915c>] reiserfs_create+0x16c/0x1c0 [<c1099a5d>] ? inode_permission+0x7d/0xa0 [<c109a9c1>] vfs_create+0xc1/0x130 [<c10e8ff0>] ? reiserfs_create+0x0/0x1c0 [<c109dbec>] do_filp_open+0x81c/0x920 [<c104ca9b>] ? trace_hardirqs_off+0xb/0x10 [<c134dc0d>] ? _spin_unlock+0x1d/0x20 [<c10a6eea>] ? alloc_fd+0xba/0xf0 [<c109004f>] do_sys_open+0x4f/0x110 [<c1090179>] sys_open+0x29/0x40 [<c1002c50>] sysenter_do_call+0x12/0x36 To fix this, use reiserfs_lock_once() from reiserfs_delete_inode() which prevents from adding reiserfs lock recursion.

reiserfs_write_end() is a hot path in reiserfs. We have two wasteful write lock lock/release inside that can be gathered without changing the code logic.

2009-09-14kill-the-bkl/reiserfs: lock only once on reiserfs_get_block()Frederic Weisbecker1-8/+11
reiserfs_get_block() is one of these sites where the write lock might be acquired recursively. It's a particular problem because this function is called very often. It's a hot spot which needs to reschedule() periodically while converting direct items to indirect ones because it can take some time. Then if we are applying the write lock release/reacquire pattern on schedule() here, it may not produce the desired effect since we may have locked in more than one depth. The solution is to use reiserfs_write_lock_once() which won't try to reacquire the lock recursively. Then the lock will be *really* released before schedule(). Also, we only release the lock if TIF_NEED_RESCHED is set to not create wasteful numerous contentions.

Impact: fix a deadlock reiserfs_truncate_file() can be called from multiple context where the write lock can be already hold or not. This function also acquire (possibly recursively) the write lock. Subsequent releases before sleeping will not actually release the lock because we may be in more than one lock depth degree. A typical case is: reiserfs_file_release { acquire_the_lock() reiserfs_truncate_file() reacquire_the_lock() journal_begin() { do_journal_begin_r() { reiserfs_wait_on_write_block() { /* * Not released because still one * depth owned */ release_lock() wait_for_event() At this stage the event never happen because the one which provides it needs the write lock. We use reiserfs_write_lock_once() here to ensure that we don't acquire the write lock recursively.

2009-09-14reiserfs: kill-the-BKLFrederic Weisbecker1-5/+18
This patch is an attempt to remove the Bkl based locking scheme from reiserfs and is intended. It is a bit inspired from an old attempt by Peter Zijlstra: http://lkml.indiana.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0704.2/2174.html The bkl is heavily used in this filesystem to prevent from concurrent write accesses on the filesystem. Reiserfs makes a deep use of the specific properties of the Bkl: - It can be acqquired recursively by a same task - It is released on the schedule() calls and reacquired when schedule() returns The two properties above are a roadmap for the reiserfs write locking so it's very hard to simply replace it with a common mutex. - We need a recursive-able locking unless we want to restructure several blocks of the code. - We need to identify the sites where the bkl was implictly relaxed (schedule, wait, sync, etc...) so that we can in turn release and reacquire our new lock explicitly. Such implicit releases of the lock are often required to let other resources producer/consumer do their job or we can suffer unexpected starvations or deadlocks. So the new lock that replaces the bkl here is a per superblock mutex with a specific property: it can be acquired recursively by a same task, like the bkl. For such purpose, we integrate a lock owner and a lock depth field on the superblock information structure. The first axis on this patch is to turn reiserfs_write_(un)lock() function into a wrapper to manage this mutex. Also some explicit calls to lock_kernel() have been converted to reiserfs_write_lock() helpers. The second axis is to find the important blocking sites (schedule...(), wait_on_buffer(), sync_dirty_buffer(), etc...) and then apply an explicit release of the write lock on these locations before blocking. Then we can safely wait for those who can give us resources or those who need some. Typically this is a fight between the current writer, the reiserfs workqueue (aka the async commiter) and the pdflush threads. The third axis is a consequence of the second. The write lock is usually on top of a lock dependency chain which can include the journal lock, the flush lock or the commit lock. So it's dangerous to release and trying to reacquire the write lock while we still hold other locks. This is fine with the bkl: T1 T2 lock_kernel() mutex_lock(A) unlock_kernel() // do something lock_kernel() mutex_lock(A) -> already locked by T1 schedule() (and then unlock_kernel()) lock_kernel() mutex_unlock(A) .... This is not fine with a mutex: T1 T2 mutex_lock(write) mutex_lock(A) mutex_unlock(write) // do something mutex_lock(write) mutex_lock(A) -> already locked by T1 schedule() mutex_lock(write) -> already locked by T2 deadlock The solution in this patch is to provide a helper which releases the write lock and sleep a bit if we can't lock a mutex that depend on it. It's another simulation of the bkl behaviour. The last axis is to locate the fs callbacks that are called with the bkl held, according to Documentation/filesystem/Locking. Those are: - reiserfs_remount - reiserfs_fill_super - reiserfs_put_super Reiserfs didn't need to explicitly lock because of the context of these callbacks. But now we must take care of that with the new locking. After this patch, reiserfs suffers from a slight performance regression (for now). On UP, a high volume write with dd reports an average of 27 MB/s instead of 30 MB/s without the patch applied.

Deadlocks are possible in the xattr code between the journal lock and the xattr sems. This patch implements journalling for xattr operations. The benefit is twofold: * It gets rid of the deadlock possibility by always ensuring that xattr write operations are initiated inside a transaction. * It corrects the problem where xattr backing files aren't considered any differently than normal files, despite the fact they are metadata. I discussed the added journal load with Chris Mason, and we decided that since xattrs (versus other journal activity) is fairly rare, the introduction of larger transactions to support journaled xattrs wouldn't be too big a deal.

2009-01-04fs: symlink write_begin allocation context fixNick Piggin1-1/+1
With the write_begin/write_end aops, page_symlink was broken because it could no longer pass a GFP_NOFS type mask into the point where the allocations happened. They are done in write_begin, which would always assume that the filesystem can be entered from reclaim. This bug could cause filesystem deadlocks. The funny thing with having a gfp_t mask there is that it doesn't really allow the caller to arbitrarily tinker with the context in which it can be called. It couldn't ever be GFP_ATOMIC, for example, because it needs to take the page lock. The only thing any callers care about is __GFP_FS anyway, so turn that into a single flag. Add a new flag for write_begin, AOP_FLAG_NOFS. Filesystems can now act on this flag in their write_begin function. Change __grab_cache_page to accept a nofs argument as well, to honour that flag (while we're there, change the name to grab_cache_page_write_begin which is more instructive and does away with random leading underscores). This is really a more flexible way to go in the end anyway -- if a filesystem happens to want any extra allocations aside from the pagecache ones in ints write_begin function, it may now use GFP_KERNEL (rather than GFP_NOFS) for common case allocations (eg. ocfs2_alloc_write_ctxt, for a random example).

2008-02-05Pagecache zeroing: zero_user_segment, zero_user_segments and zero_userChristoph Lameter1-2/+2
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.

2007-01-23[PATCH] resierfs: avoid tail packing if an inode was ever mmappedVladimir Saveliev1-0/+2
This patch fixes a confusion reiserfs has for a long time. On release file operation reiserfs used to try to pack file data stored in last incomplete page of some files into metadata blocks. After packing the page got cleared with clear_page_dirty. It did not take into account that the page may be mmaped into other process's address space. Recent replacement for clear_page_dirty cancel_dirty_page found the confusion with sanity check that page has to be not mapped. The patch fixes the confusion by making reiserfs avoid tail packing if an inode was ever mmapped. reiserfs_mmap and reiserfs_file_release are serialized with mutex in reiserfs specific inode. reiserfs_mmap locks the mutex and sets a bit in reiserfs specific inode flags. reiserfs_file_release checks the bit having the mutex locked. If bit is set - tail packing is avoided. This eliminates a possibility that mmapped page gets cancel_page_dirty-ed.

Attached here is a patch which could fix the issue. fix reiserfs/inode.c : restart_transaction() to release the path in all cases. The restart_transaction() doesn't release the path when the the journal handle has a refcount > 1. This would trigger a reiserfs_panic() if we encounter an -ENOSPC / -EDQUOT in reiserfs_get_block().
