2011-07-12NFS: added FREE_STATEID callBryan Schumaker
FREE_STATEID is used to tell the server that we want to free a stateid that no longer has any locks associated with it. This allows the client to reclaim locks without encountering edge conditions documented in section 8.4.3 of RFC 5661.

2011-07-12NFS: Added TEST_STATEID callBryan Schumaker
This patch adds in the xdr for doing a TEST_STATEID call with a single stateid. RFC 5661 allows multiple stateids to be tested in a single call, but only testing one keeps things simpler for now.

2011-07-12NFS: pnfs: loop over multipath addrs on connectWeston Andros Adamson
Don't just use the first addr in the multipath list - instead, loop over addresses when calling nfs4_set_ds_client() (which calls connect) until it is successful. Although this is not real multipath support, it's a quick fix to handle when an MDS sends a list of addresses for a DS and some of the addr families are unsupported or misconfigured (like no routable ipv6 addr assigned). This will attempt all paths to the DS before giving up, instead of immediately falling back to the MDS. As before, an error encountered after a successful connect() will cause all i/o to fall back to the MDS.

2011-07-12GFS2: Fix race during filesystem mountSteven Whitehouse
There is a potential race during filesystem mounting which has recently been reported. It occurs when the userland gfs_controld is able to process requests fast enough that it tries to use the sysfs interface before the lock module is properly initialised. This is a pretty unusual case as normally the lock module initialisation is very quick compared with gfs_controld. This patch adds an interruptible completion which is used to ensure that userland will wait for the initialisation of the lock module to complete. There are other potential solutions to this problem, but this is the quickest at this stage and has been tested both with and without mount.gfs2 present in the system.

2011-07-12GFS2: force a log flush when invalidating the rindex glockBenjamin Marzinski
Right now, there is nothing that forces the log to get flushed when a node drops its rindex glock so that another node can grow the filesystem. If the log doesn't get flushed, GFS2 can corrupt the sd_log_le_rg list in the following way. A node puts an rgd on the list in rg_lo_add(), and then the rindex glock is dropped so the other node can grow the filesystem. When the node reacquires the rindex glock, that rgd gets deleted in clear_rgrpdi() before ever being removed from the list by gfs2_log_flush(). This code simply forces a log flush when the rindex glock is invalidated, solving the problem.

There is no race possible as we always have either i_mutex locked, or the inode can not be referenced from outside hence the J_ASSERS should not be hit from the reason described in comment.

2011-07-11Btrfs: fix how we merge extent states and deal with cached statesJosef Bacik
First, we can sometimes free the state we're merging, which means anybody who calls merge_state() may have the state it passed in free'ed. This is problematic because we could end up caching the state, which makes caching useless as the state will no longer be part of the tree. So instead of free'ing the state we passed into merge_state(), set it's end to the other->end and free the other state. This way we are sure to cache the correct state. Also because we can merge states together, instead of only using the cache'd state if it's start == the start we are looking for, go ahead and use it if the start we are looking for is within the range of the cached state.

2011-07-11Btrfs: use the normal checksumming infrastructure for free space cacheJosef Bacik
We used to store the checksums of the space cache directly in the space cache, however that doesn't work out too well if we have more space than we can fit the checksums into the first page.

2011-07-11Btrfs: serialize flushers in reserve_metadata_bytesJosef Bacik
We keep having problems with early enospc, and that's because our method of making space is inherently racy. The problem is we can have one guy trying to make space for himself, and in the meantime people come in and steal his reservation. In order to stop this we make a waitqueue and put anybody who comes into reserve_metadata_bytes on that waitqueue if somebody is trying to make more space.

2011-07-11Btrfs: do transaction space reservation before joining the transactionJosef Bacik
We have to do weird things when handling enospc in the transaction joining code. Because we've already joined the transaction we cannot commit the transaction within the reservation code since it will deadlock, so we have to return EAGAIN and then make sure we don't retry too many times. Instead of doing this, just do the reservation the normal way before we join the transaction, that way we can do whatever we want to try and reclaim space, and then if it fails we know for sure we are out of space and we can return ENOSPC.

2011-07-11Btrfs: try to only do one btrfs_search_slot in do_setxattrJosef Bacik
I've been watching how many btrfs_search_slot()'s we do and I noticed that when we create a file with selinux enabled we were doing 2 each time we initialize the security context. That's because we lookup the xattr first so we can delete it if we're setting a new value to an existing xattr. But in the create case we don't have any xattrs, so it is completely useless to have the extra lookup. So re-arrange things so that we only lookup first if we specifically have XATTR_REPLACE. That way in the basic case we only do 1 search, and in the more complicated case we do the normal 2 lookups. Thanks, Signed-off-by: Josef Bacik <josef@redhat.com>

2011-07-11ext4: Speed up FITRIM by recording flags in ext4_group_infoTao Ma
In ext4, when FITRIM is called every time, we iterate all the groups and do trim one by one. It is a bit time wasting if the group has been trimmed and there is no change since the last trim. So this patch adds a new flag in ext4_group_info->bb_state to indicate that the group has been trimmed, and it will be cleared if some blocks is freed(in release_blocks_on_commit). Another trim_minlen is added in ext4_sb_info to record the last minlen we use to trim the volume, so that if the caller provide a small one, we will go on the trim regardless of the bb_state. A simple test with my intel x25m ssd: df -h shows: /dev/sdb1 40G 21G 17G 56% /mnt/ext4 Block size: 4096 run the FITRIM with the following parameter: range.start = 0; range.len = UINT64_MAX; range.minlen = 1048576; without the patch: [root@boyu-tm linux-2.6]# time ./ftrim /mnt/ext4/a real 0m5.505s user 0m0.000s sys 0m1.224s [root@boyu-tm linux-2.6]# time ./ftrim /mnt/ext4/a real 0m5.359s user 0m0.000s sys 0m1.178s [root@boyu-tm linux-2.6]# time ./ftrim /mnt/ext4/a real 0m5.228s user 0m0.000s sys 0m1.151s with the patch: [root@boyu-tm linux-2.6]# time ./ftrim /mnt/ext4/a real 0m5.625s user 0m0.000s sys 0m1.269s [root@boyu-tm linux-2.6]# time ./ftrim /mnt/ext4/a real 0m0.002s user 0m0.000s sys 0m0.001s [root@boyu-tm linux-2.6]# time ./ftrim /mnt/ext4/a real 0m0.002s user 0m0.000s sys 0m0.001s A big improvement for the 2nd and 3rd run.

2011-07-11ext4: speed up group trim with the right free block countTao Ma
When we trim some free blocks in a group of ext4, we need to calculate the free blocks properly and check whether there are enough freed blocks left for us to trim. Current solution will only calculate free spaces if they are large for a trim which isn't appropriate. Let us see a small example: a group has 1.5M free which are 300k, 300k, 300k, 300k, 300k. And minblocks is 1M. With current solution, we have to iterate the whole group since these 300k will never be subtracted from 1.5M. But actually we should exit after we find the first 2 free spaces since the left 3 chunks only sum up to 900K if we subtract the first 600K although they can't be trimed.

2011-07-10ext4: fix trim length underflow with small trim lengthTao Ma
In 0f0a25b, we adjust 'len' with s_first_data_block - start, but it could underflow in case blocksize=1K, fstrim_range.len=512 and fstrim_range.start = 0. In this case, when we run the code: len -= first_data_blk - start; len will be underflow to -1ULL. In the end, although we are safe that last_group check later will limit the trim to the whole volume, but that isn't what the user really want. So this patch fix it. It also adds the check for 'start' like ext3 so that we can break immediately if the start is invalid.

2011-07-10ext4: fix i_blocks/quota accounting when extent insertion failsMaxim Patlasov
The current implementation of ext4_free_blocks() always calls dquot_free_block This looks quite sensible in the most cases: blocks to be freed are associated with inode and were accounted in quota and i_blocks some time ago. However, there is a case when blocks to free were not accounted by the time calling ext4_free_blocks() yet: 1. delalloc is on, write_begin pre-allocated some space in quota 2. write-back happens, ext4 allocates some blocks in ext4_ext_map_blocks() 3. then ext4_ext_map_blocks() gets an error (e.g. ENOSPC) from ext4_ext_insert_extent() and calls ext4_free_blocks(). In this scenario, ext4_free_blocks() calls dquot_free_block() who, in turn, decrements i_blocks for blocks which were not accounted yet (due to delalloc) After clean umount, e2fsck reports something like: > Inode 21, i_blocks is 5080, should be 5128. Fix<y>? because i_blocks was erroneously decremented as explained above. The patch fixes the problem by passing the new flag EXT4_FREE_BLOCKS_NO_QUOT_UPDATE to ext4_free_blocks(), to request that the dquot_free_block() call be skipped.

2011-07-09writeback: scale IO chunk size up to half device bandwidthWu Fengguang
Originally, MAX_WRITEBACK_PAGES was hard-coded to 1024 because of a concern of not holding I_SYNC for too long. (At least, that was the comment previously.) This doesn't make sense now because the only time we wait for I_SYNC is if we are calling sync or fsync, and in that case we need to write out all of the data anyway. Previously there may have been other code paths that waited on I_SYNC, but not any more. -- Theodore Ts'o So remove the MAX_WRITEBACK_PAGES constraint. The writeback pages will adapt to as large as the storage device can write within 500ms. XFS is observed to do IO completions in a batch, and the batch size is equal to the write chunk size. To avoid dirty pages to suddenly drop out of balance_dirty_pages()'s dirty control scope and create large fluctuations, the chunk size is also limited to half the control scope. The balance_dirty_pages() control scrope is [(background_thresh + dirty_thresh) / 2, dirty_thresh] which is by default [15%, 20%] of global dirty pages, whose range size is dirty_thresh / DIRTY_FULL_SCOPE. The adpative write chunk size will be rounded to the nearest 4MB boundary. http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13930 CC: Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu> CC: Dave Chinner <david@fromorbit.com> CC: Chris Mason <chris.mason@oracle.com> CC: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Signed-off-by: Wu Fengguang <fengguang.wu@intel.com>
2011-07-09writeback: introduce smoothed global dirty limitWu Fengguang
The start of a heavy weight application (ie. KVM) may instantly knock down determine_dirtyable_memory() if the swap is not enabled or full. global_dirty_limits() and bdi_dirty_limit() will in turn get global/bdi dirty thresholds that are _much_ lower than the global/bdi dirty pages. balance_dirty_pages() will then heavily throttle all dirtiers including the light ones, until the dirty pages drop below the new dirty thresholds. During this _deep_ dirty-exceeded state, the system may appear rather unresponsive to the users. About "deep" dirty-exceeded: task_dirty_limit() assigns 1/8 lower dirty threshold to heavy dirtiers than light ones, and the dirty pages will be throttled around the heavy dirtiers' dirty threshold and reasonably below the light dirtiers' dirty threshold. In this state, only the heavy dirtiers will be throttled and the dirty pages are carefully controlled to not exceed the light dirtiers' dirty threshold. However if the threshold itself suddenly drops below the number of dirty pages, the light dirtiers will get heavily throttled. So introduce global_dirty_limit for tracking the global dirty threshold with policies - follow downwards slowly - follow up in one shot global_dirty_limit can effectively mask out the impact of sudden drop of dirtyable memory. It will be used in the next patch for two new type of dirty limits. Note that the new dirty limits are not going to avoid throttling the light dirtiers, but could limit their sleep time to 200ms.

2011-07-09writeback: bdi write bandwidth estimationWu Fengguang
The estimation value will start from 100MB/s and adapt to the real bandwidth in seconds. It tries to update the bandwidth only when disk is fully utilized. Any inactive period of more than one second will be skipped. The estimated bandwidth will be reflecting how fast the device can writeout when _fully utilized_, and won't drop to 0 when it goes idle. The value will remain constant at disk idle time. At busy write time, if not considering fluctuations, it will also remain high unless be knocked down by possible concurrent reads that compete for the disk time and bandwidth with async writes. The estimation is not done purely in the flusher because there is no guarantee for write_cache_pages() to return timely to update bandwidth. The bdi->avg_write_bandwidth smoothing is very effective for filtering out sudden spikes, however may be a little biased in long term. The overheads are low because the bdi bandwidth update only occurs at 200ms intervals. The 200ms update interval is suitable, because it's not possible to get the real bandwidth for the instance at all, due to large fluctuations. The NFS commits can be as large as seconds worth of data. One XFS completion may be as large as half second worth of data if we are going to increase the write chunk to half second worth of data. In ext4, fluctuations with time period of around 5 seconds is observed. And there is another pattern of irregular periods of up to 20 seconds on SSD tests. That's why we are not only doing the estimation at 200ms intervals, but also averaging them over a period of 3 seconds and then go further to do another level of smoothing in avg_write_bandwidth.

It immediately clean things up, e.g. suddenly wbc.nr_to_write vs work->nr_pages starts to make sense, and instead of saving and restoring pages_skipped in writeback_sb_inodes it can always start with a clean zero value. It also makes a neat IO pattern change: large dirty files are now written in the full 4MB writeback chunk size, rather than whatever remained quota in wbc->nr_to_write.

2011-07-09cifs: fix expand_dfs_referralJeff Layton
Regression introduced in commit 724d9f1cfba. Prior to that, expand_dfs_referral would regenerate the mount data string and then call cifs_parse_mount_options to re-parse it (klunky, but it worked). The above commit moved cifs_parse_mount_options out of cifs_mount, so the re-parsing of the new mount options no longer occurred. Fix it by making expand_dfs_referral re-parse the mount options.

2011-07-08xfs: consolidate & clarify mount sanity checksEric Sandeen
Pavol pointed out that there is one silent error case in the mount path, and that others are rather uninformative. I've taken Pavol's suggested patch and extended it a bit to also: * fix a message which says "turned off" but actually errors out * consolidate the vaguely differentiated "SB sanity check [12]" messages, and hexdump the superblock for analysis Original-patch-by: Pavol Gono <Pavol.Gono@siemens.com> Signed-off-by: Eric Sandeen <sandeen@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Alex Elder <aelder@sgi.com>
