In the SSR case, the max gc cost should be the number of pages in a segment.
Otherwise, f2fs is able to fail getting dirty segments frequently for SSR.
In get_victim_by_default() previously,
while(1) {
...
cost = get_gc_cost(); <- cost is between 0 ~ 512.
...
if (cost == get_max_cost(sbi, &p)) <- max cost is UINT_MAX due to GC_CB type
continue;
if (nsearched++ >= MAX_VICTIM_SEARCH)
break;
}
So, if there are a number of fully valid segments in series, f2fs cannot skip
those segments by comparing the cost and max cost of each segment.
Note that, the cost is the number of valid blocks at the time of the last
checkpoint.

This patch makes clearer the ambiguous f2fs_gc flow as follows.
1. Remove intermediate checkpoint condition during f2fs_gc
(i.e., should_do_checkpoint() and GC_BLOCKED)
2. Remove unnecessary return values of f2fs_gc because of #1.
(i.e., GC_NODE, GC_OK, etc)
3. Simplify write_checkpoint() because of #2.
4. Clarify the main f2fs_gc flow.
o monitor how many freed sections during one iteration of do_garbage_collect().
o do GC more without checkpoints if we can't get enough free sections.
o do checkpoint once we've got enough free sections through forground GCs.
5. Adopt thread-logging (Slack-Space-Recycle) scheme more aggressively on data
log types. See. get_ssr_segement()

Currently GC task is started for each f2fs formatted/mounted device.
But, when we check the task list, using 'ps', there is no distinguishing
factor between the tasks. So, name the task as per the block device just
like the flusher threads.
Also, remove the macro GC_THREAD_NAME and instead use the name: f2fs_gc
to avoid name length truncation, as the command length is 16
-> TASK_COMM_LEN 16 and example name like:
f2fs_gc_task:8:16 -> this exceeds name length

1. Background
Previously, if f2fs tries to move data blocks of an *evicting* inode during the
cleaning process, it stops the process incompletely and then restarts the whole
process, since it needs a locked inode to grab victim data pages in its address
space. In order to get a locked inode, iget_locked() by f2fs_iget() is normally
used, but, it waits if the inode is on freeing.
So, here is a deadlock scenario.
1. f2fs_evict_inode() <- inode "A"
2. f2fs_balance_fs()
3. f2fs_gc()
4. gc_data_segment()
5. f2fs_iget() <- inode "A" too!
If step #1 and #5 treat a same inode "A", step #5 would fall into deadlock since
the inode "A" is on freeing. In order to resolve this, f2fs_iget_nowait() which
skips __wait_on_freeing_inode() was introduced in step #5, and stops f2fs_gc()
to complete f2fs_evict_inode().
1. f2fs_evict_inode() <- inode "A"
2. f2fs_balance_fs()
3. f2fs_gc()
4. gc_data_segment()
5. f2fs_iget_nowait() <- inode "A", then stop f2fs_gc() w/ -ENOENT
2. Problem and Solution
In the above scenario, however, f2fs cannot finish f2fs_evict_inode() only if:
o there are not enough free sections, and
o f2fs_gc() tries to move data blocks of the *evicting* inode repeatedly.
So, the final solution is to use f2fs_iget() and remove f2fs_balance_fs() in
f2fs_evict_inode().
The f2fs_evict_inode() actually truncates all the data and node blocks, which
means that it doesn't produce any dirty node pages accordingly.
So, we don't need to do f2fs_balance_fs() in practical.

After doing a write_checkpoint from garbage collection path if there is still
need to do more garbage collection, gc_more label is used to jump and start
the process again. And in that process, first step before getting victim is to
check if there are not enough free sections, which is already done before
doing a jump to gc_more. We can avoid the redundant call to check free
sections, by checking the gc_type flag which will remain FG_GC(value 1) under
this condition.

The fill_zero() from fallocate() calls get_new_data_page() in which calls
reserve_new_block().
The reserve_new_block() should be covered by *DATA_NEW*, one of global locks.
And also, before getting the lock, we should check free sections by calling
f2fs_balance_fs().
If we break this rule, f2fs is able to face with out-of-control free space
management and fall into infinite loop like the following scenario as well.
[f2fs_sync_fs()] [fallocate()]
- write_checkpoint() - fill_zero()
- block_operations() - get_new_data_page()
: grab NODE_NEW - get_dnode_of_data()
: get locked dirty node page
- sync_node_pages()
: try to grab NODE_NEW for data allocation
: trylock and skip the dirty node page
: call sync_node_pages() repeatedly in order to flush all the dirty node
pages!
In order to avoid this, we should grab another global lock such as DATA_NEW
before calling get_new_data_page() in fill_zero().

This patch enhances the checkpoint routine to cope with IO errors.
Basically f2fs detects IO errors from end_io_write, and the errors are able to
be occurred during one of data, node, and meta page writes.
In the previous code, when an IO error is occurred during writes, f2fs sets a
flag, CP_ERROR_FLAG, in the raw ckeckpoint buffer which will be written to disk.
Afterwards, write_checkpoint() will check the flag and remount f2fs as a
read-only (ro) mode.
However, even once f2fs is remounted as a ro mode, dirty checkpoint pages are
freely able to be written to disk by flusher or kswapd in background.
In such a case, after cold reboot, f2fs would restore the checkpoint data having
CP_ERROR_FLAG, resulting in disabling write_checkpoint and remounting f2fs as
a ro mode again.
Therefore, let's prevent any checkpoint page (meta) writes once an IO error is
occurred, and remount f2fs as a ro mode right away at that moment.

In this report, f2fs lost the major/minor numbers of device files after umount.
The reason was revealed that f2fs does not store the inode->i_rdev to the
on-disk inode data structure.
So, as the other file systems do, f2fs also stores i_rdev into the i_addr fields
in on-disk inode structure without any on-disk layout changes.
Note that, this bug is limited to device files made by mknod().

Adjust the return values so that they return EAGAIN to the caller in
cases where we might want to retry the delegation recall after

Note that we can't wait and retry in this routine, because the caller

If delegation recall fails due to a session or reboot related issue,
also ensure that we mark the stateid as delegated so that
nfs_delegation_claim_opens can find it again later.

If the server reboots while we are converting a delegation into
OPEN/LOCK stateids as part of a delegation return, the current code
will simply exit with an error. This causes us to lose both
delegation state and locking state (i.e. locking atomicity).
Deal with this by exposing the delegation stateid during delegation
return, so that we can recover the delegation, and then resume
open/lock recovery.
Note that not having to hold the nfs_inode->rwsem across the
calls to nfs_delegation_claim_opens() also fixes a deadlock against
the NFSv4.1 reboot recovery code.

We currently have a deadlock in which the state recovery thread
ends up blocking due to one of the locks which it is trying to
recover holding the nfs_inode->rwsem.
The situation is as follows: the state recovery thread is
scheduled in order to recover from a reboot. It immediately
drains the session, forcing all ordinary NFSv4.1 calls to
nfs41_setup_sequence() to be put to sleep. This includes the
file locking process that holds the nfs_inode->rwsem.
When the thread gets to nfs4_reclaim_locks(), it tries to
grab a write lock on nfs_inode->rwsem, and boom...
Fix is to have the lock drop the nfs_inode->rwsem while it is
doing RPC calls. We use a sequence lock in order to signal to
the locking process whether or not a state recovery thread has
run on that inode, in which case it should retry the lock.

Secondly, as a module paramter it can be specified as a boot option if
jbd2 is built into the kernel, or as a parameter when the module is
loaded, and it can also be manipulated dynamically under

Operations which modify extended attributes may need extra journal
credits if inline data is used, since there is a chance that some
extended attributes may need to get pushed to an external attribute
block.
Changes to reflect this was made in xattr.c, but they were missed in
fs/ext4/acl.c. To fix this, abstract the calculation of the number of
credits needed for xattr operations to an inline function defined in
ext4_jbd2.h, and use it in acl.c and xattr.c.
Also move the function declarations used in inline.c from xattr.h
(where they are non-obviously hidden, and caused problems since
ext4_jbd2.h needs to use the function ext4_has_inline_data), and move
them to ext4.h.

Note that using too many journal credits is non-optimal because it can
leading to the journal transmit getting closed too early, before it is

The grab_cache_page_write_begin() function can potentially sleep for a
long time, since it may need to do memory allocation which can block
if the system is under significant memory pressure, and because it may
be blocked on page writeback. If it does take a long time to grab the

So grab a handle on the page first, and _then_ start the transaction

EVENT=$T/events/jbd2/jbd2_handle_stats
echo "interval > 5" > $EVENT/filter
echo 1 > $EVENT/enable
./run-my-fs-benchmark
cat $T/trace > /tmp/problem-handles
This will list handles that were active for longer than 20ms. Having
longer-running handles is bad, because a commit started at the wrong
time could stall for those 20+ milliseconds, which could delay an
fsync() or an O_SYNC operation. Here is an example line from the
trace file describing a handle which lived on for 311 jiffies, or over
1.2 seconds:
postmark-2917 [000] .... 196.435786: jbd2_handle_stats: dev 254,32
tid 570 type 2 line_no 2541 interval 311 sync 0 requested_blocks 1
dirtied_blocks 0

Now that we're allowing more DRC entries, it becomes a lot easier to hit
problems with XID collisions. In order to mitigate those, calculate a
checksum of up to the first 256 bytes of each request coming in and store
that in the cache entry, along with the total length of the request.
This initially used crc32, but Chuck Lever and Jim Rees pointed out that
crc32 is probably more heavyweight than we really need for generating
these checksums, and recommended looking at using the same routines that
are used to generate checksums for IP packets.
On an x86_64 KVM guest measurements with ftrace showed ~800ns to use
csum_partial vs ~1750ns for crc32. The difference probably isn't
terribly significant, but for now we may as well use csum_partial.

Move the jbd2 wrapper functions which start and stop handles out of
super.c, where they don't really logically belong, and into
ext4_jbd2.c.
