2015-09-03GFS2: Move glock superblock pointer to field gl_nameBob Peterson
What uniquely identifies a glock in the glock hash table is not gl_name, but gl_name and its superblock pointer. This patch makes the gl_name field correspond to a unique glock identifier. That will allow us to simplify hashing with a future patch, since the hash algorithm can then take the gl_name and hash its components in one operation.

2015-07-29block: add a bi_error field to struct bioChristoph Hellwig
Currently we have two different ways to signal an I/O error on a BIO: (1) by clearing the BIO_UPTODATE flag (2) by returning a Linux errno value to the bi_end_io callback The first one has the drawback of only communicating a single possible error (-EIO), and the second one has the drawback of not beeing persistent when bios are queued up, and are not passed along from child to parent bio in the ever more popular chaining scenario. Having both mechanisms available has the additional drawback of utterly confusing driver authors and introducing bugs where various I/O submitters only deal with one of them, and the others have to add boilerplate code to deal with both kinds of error returns. So add a new bi_error field to store an errno value directly in struct bio and remove the existing mechanisms to clean all this up.

2014-03-07GFS2: Move recovery variables to journal structure in memoryBob Peterson
If multiple nodes fail and their recovery work runs simultaneously, they would use the same unprotected variables in the superblock. For example, they would stomp on each other's revoked blocks lists, which resulted in file system metadata corruption. This patch moves the necessary variables so that each journal has its own separate area for tracking its journal replay.

2014-03-03GFS2: Clean up journal extent mappingSteven Whitehouse
This patch fixes a long standing issue in mapping the journal extents. Most journals will consist of only a single extent, and although the cache took account of that by merging extents, it did not actually map large extents, but instead was doing a block by block mapping. Since the journal was only being mapped on mount, this was not normally noticeable. With the updated code, it is now possible to use the same extent mapping system during journal recovery (which will be added in a later patch). This will allow checking of the integrity of the journal before any reply of the journal content is attempted. For this reason the code is moving to bmap.c, since it will be used more widely in due course. An exercise left for the reader is to compare the new function gfs2_map_journal_extents() with gfs2_write_alloc_required() Additionally, should there be a failure, the error reporting is also updated to show more detail about what went wrong.

2014-02-24GFS2: Move log buffer accounting to transactionSteven Whitehouse
Now we have a master transaction into which other transactions are merged, the accounting can be done using this master transaction. We no longer require the superblock fields which were being used for this function. In addition, this allows for a clean up in calc_reserved() making it rather easier understand. Also, by reducing the number of variables used to track the buffers being added and removed from the journal, a number of error checks are now no longer required.

2014-02-24GFS2: Move log buffer lists into transactionSteven Whitehouse
Over time, we hope to be able to improve the concurrency available in the log code. This is one small step towards that, by moving the buffer lists from the super block, and into the transaction structure, so that each transaction builds its own buffer lists. At transaction commit time, the buffer lists are merged into the currently accumulating transaction. That transaction then is passed into the before and after commit functions at journal flush time. Thus there should be no change in overall behaviour yet. Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>

2014-01-03GFS2: Use only a single address space for rgrpsSteven Whitehouse
Prior to this patch, GFS2 had one address space for each rgrp, stored in the glock. This patch changes them to use a single address space in the super block. This therefore saves (sizeof(struct address_space) * nr_of_rgrps) bytes of memory and for large filesystems, that can be significant. It would be nice to be able to do something similar and merge the inode metadata address space into the same global address space. However, that is rather more complicated as the on-disk location doesn't have a 1:1 mapping with the inodes in general. So while it could be done, it will be a more complicated operation as it requires changing a lot more code paths. Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>

2013-06-19GFS2: aggressively issue revokes in gfs2_log_flushBenjamin Marzinski
This patch looks at all the outstanding blocks in all the transactions on the log, and moves the completed ones to the ail2 list. Then it issues revokes for these blocks. This will hopefully speed things up in situations where there is a lot of contention for glocks, especially if they are acquired serially. revoke_lo_before_commit will issue at most one log block's full of these preemptive revokes. The amount of reserved log space that gfs2_log_reserve() ignores has been incremented to allow for this extra block.

2013-04-08GFS2: replace gfs2_ail structure with gfs2_transBenjamin Marzinski
In order to allow transactions and log flushes to happen at the same time, gfs2 needs to move the transaction accounting and active items list code into the gfs2_trans structure. As a first step toward this, this patch removes the gfs2_ail structure, and handles the active items list in the gfs_trans structure. This keeps gfs2 from allocating an ail structure on log flushes, and gives us a struture that can later be used to store the transaction accounting outside of the gfs2 superblock structure. With this patch, at the end of a transaction, gfs2 will add the gfs2_trans structure to the superblock if there is not one already. This structure now has the active items fields that were previously in gfs2_ail. This is not necessary in the case where the transaction was simply used to add revokes, since these are never written outside of the journal, and thus, don't need an active items list. Also, in order to make sure that the transaction structure is not removed while it's still in use by gfs2_trans_end, unlocking the sd_log_flush_lock has to happen slightly later in ending the transaction.

2012-11-07GFS2: Test bufdata with buffer locked and gfs2_log_lock heldBenjamin Marzinski
In gfs2_trans_add_bh(), gfs2 was testing if a there was a bd attached to the buffer without having the gfs2_log_lock held. It was then assuming it would stay attached for the rest of the function. However, without either the log lock being held of the buffer locked, __gfs2_ail_flush() could detach bd at any time. This patch moves the locking before the test. If there isn't a bd already attached, gfs2 can safely allocate one and attach it before locking. There is no way that the newly allocated bd could be on the ail list, and thus no way for __gfs2_ail_flush() to detach it.

This is another clean up in the logging code. This per-transaction list was largely unused.

With the assert now changed to use the calculated buffer counts, we can remove both bd_list_tr and its associated counter.

2012-04-24GFS2: Remove duplicate log codeSteven Whitehouse
The main part of this patch merges the two functions used to write metadata and data buffers to the log. Most of the code is common between the two functions, so this provides a nice clean up, and makes the code more readable.

2012-04-24GFS2: Clean up log write code pathSteven Whitehouse
Prior to this patch, we have two ways of sending i/o to the log. One of those is used when we need to allocate both the data to be written itself and also a buffer head to submit it. This is done via sb_getblk and friends. This is used mostly for writing log headers. The other method is used when writing blocks which have some in-place counterpart. This is the case for all the metadata blocks which are journalled, and when journaled data is in use, for unescaped journalled data blocks. This patch replaces both of those two methods, and about half a dozen separate i/o submission points with a single i/o submission function. We also go direct to bio rather than using buffer heads, since this allows us to build i/o requests of the maximum size for the block device in question. It also reduces the memory required for flushing the log, which can be very useful in low memory situations. Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>

2012-03-08GFS2: Remove a __GFP_NOFAIL allocationSteven Whitehouse
In order to ensure that we've got enough buffer heads for flushing the journal, the orignal code used __GFP_NOFAIL when performing this allocation. Here we dispense with that in favour of using a mempool. This should improve efficiency in low memory conditions since flushing the journal is a good way to get memory back, we don't want to be spinning, waiting on memory allocations. The buffers which are allocated via this mempool are fairly short lived, so that we'll recycle them pretty quickly. Although there are other memory allocations which occur during the journal flush process, this is the one which can potentially require the most memory, so the most important one to fix. The amount of memory reserved is a fixed amount, and we should not need to scale it when there are a greater number of filesystems in use. Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>
2012-02-28GFS2: FITRIM ioctl supportSteven Whitehouse
The FITRIM ioctl provides an alternative way to send discard requests to the underlying device. Using the discard mount option results in every freed block generating a discard request to the block device. This can be slow, since many block devices can only process discard requests of larger sizes, and also such operations can be time consuming. Rather than using the discard mount option, FITRIM allows a sweep of the filesystem on an occasional basis, and also to optionally avoid sending down discard requests for smaller regions. In GFS2 FITRIM will work at resource group granularity. There is a flag for each resource group which keeps track of which resource groups have been trimmed. This flag is reset whenever a deallocation occurs in the resource group, and set whenever a successful FITRIM of that resource group has taken place. This helps to reduce repeated discard requests for the same block ranges, again improving performance. Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>

2011-10-21GFS2: Use rbtree for resource groups and clean up bitmap buffer ref count schemeBob Peterson
Here is an update of Bob's original rbtree patch which, in addition, also resolves the rather strange ref counting that was being done relating to the bitmap blocks. Originally we had a dual system for journaling resource groups. The metadata blocks were journaled and also the rgrp itself was added to a list. The reason for adding the rgrp to the list in the journal was so that the "repolish clones" code could be run to update the free space, and potentially send any discard requests when the log was flushed. This was done by comparing the "cloned" bitmap with what had been written back on disk during the transaction commit. Due to this, there was a requirement to hang on to the rgrps' bitmap buffers until the journal had been flushed. For that reason, there was a rather complicated set up in the ->go_lock ->go_unlock functions for rgrps involving both a mutex and a spinlock (the ->sd_rindex_spin) to maintain a reference count on the buffers. However, the journal maintains a reference count on the buffers anyway, since they are being journaled as metadata buffers. So by moving the code which deals with the post-journal accounting for bitmap blocks to the metadata journaling code, we can entirely dispense with the rather strange buffer ref counting scheme and also the requirement to journal the rgrps. The net result of all this is that the ->sd_rindex_spin is left to do exactly one job, and that is to look after the rbtree or rgrps. This patch is designed to be a stepping stone towards using RCU for the rbtree of resource groups, however the reduction in the number of uses of the ->sd_rindex_spin is likely to have benefits for multi-threaded workloads, anyway. The patch retains ->go_lock and ->go_unlock for rgrps, however these maybe also be removed in future in favour of calling the functions directly where required in the code. That will allow locking of resource groups without needing to actually read them in - something that could be useful in speeding up statfs. In the mean time though it is valid to dereference ->bi_bh only when the rgrp is locked. This is basically the same rule as before, modulo the references not being valid until the following journal flush.

2011-04-20GFS2: Optimise glock lru and end of life inodesSteven Whitehouse
The GLF_LRU flag introduced in the previous patch can be used to check if a glock is on the lru list when a new holder is queued and if so remove it, without having first to get the lru_lock. The main purpose of this patch however is to optimise the glocks left over when an inode at end of life is being evicted. Previously such glocks were left with the GLF_LFLUSH flag set, so that when reclaimed, each one required a log flush. This patch resets the GLF_LFLUSH flag when there is nothing left to flush thus preventing later log flushes as glocks are reused or demoted. In order to do this, we need to keep track of the number of revokes which are outstanding, and also to clear the GLF_LFLUSH bit after a log commit when only revokes have been processed.

2011-04-20GFS2: Alter point of entry to glock lru list for glocks with an address_spaceSteven Whitehouse
Rather than allowing the glocks to be scheduled for possible reclaim as soon as they have exited the journal, this patch delays their entry to the list until the glocks in question are no longer in use. This means that we will rely on the vm for writeback of all dirty data and metadata from now on. When glocks are added to the lru list they should be freeable much faster since all the I/O required to free them should have already been completed. This should lead to much better I/O patterns under low memory conditions. Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>

2011-03-11GFS2: introduce AIL lockDave Chinner
The log lock is currently used to protect the AIL lists and the movements of buffers into and out of them. The lists are self contained and no log specific items outside the lists are accessed when starting or emptying the AIL lists. Hence the operation of the AIL does not require the protection of the log lock so split them out into a new AIL specific lock to reduce the amount of traffic on the log lock. This will also reduce the amount of serialisation that occurs when the gfs2_logd pushes on the AIL to move it forward. This reduces the impact of log pushing on sequential write throughput.

2011-01-21GFS2: Use RCU for glock hash tableSteven Whitehouse
This has a number of advantages: - Reduces contention on the hash table lock - Makes the code smaller and simpler - Should speed up glock dumps when under load - Removes ref count changing in examine_bucket - No longer need hash chain lock in glock_put() in common case There are some further changes which this enables and which we may do in the future. One is to look at using SLAB_RCU, and another is to look at using a per-cpu counter for the per-sb glock counter, since that is touched twice in the lifetime of each glock (but only used at umount time).

2010-05-05GFS2: Various gfs2_logd improvementsBenjamin Marzinski
This patch contains various tweaks to how log flushes and active item writeback work. gfs2_logd is now managed by a waitqueue, and gfs2_log_reseve now waits for gfs2_logd to do the log flushing. Multiple functions were rewritten to remove the need to call gfs2_log_lock(). Instead of using one test to see if gfs2_logd had work to do, there are now seperate tests to check if there are two many buffers in the incore log or if there are two many items on the active items list. This patch is a port of a patch Steve Whitehouse wrote about a year ago, with some minor changes. Since gfs2_ail1_start always submits all the active items, it no longer needs to keep track of the first ai submitted, so this has been removed. In gfs2_log_reserve(), the order of the calls to prepare_to_wait_exclusive() and wake_up() when firing off the logd thread has been switched. If it called wake_up first there was a small window for a race, where logd could run and return before gfs2_log_reserve was ready to get woken up. If gfs2_logd ran, but did not free up enough blocks, gfs2_log_reserve() would be left waiting for gfs2_logd to eventualy run because it timed out. Finally, gt_logd_secs, which controls how long to wait before gfs2_logd times out, and flushes the log, can now be set on mount with ar_commit.

2010-03-01GFS2: ordered writes are backwardsDave Chinner
When we queue data buffers for ordered write, the buffers are added to the head of the ordered write list. When the log needs to push these buffers to disk, it also walks the list from the head. The result is that the the ordered buffers are submitted to disk in reverse order. For large writes, this means that whenever the log flushes large streams of reverse sequential order buffers are pushed down into the block layers. The elevators don't handle this particularly well, so IO rates tend to be significantly lower than if the IO was issued in ascending block order. Queue new ordered buffers to the tail of the ordered buffer list to ensure that IO is dispatched in the order it was submitted. This should significantly improve large sequential write speeds. On a disk capable of 85MB/s, speeds increase from 50MB/s to 65MB/s for noop and from 38MB/s to 50MB/s for cfq.

2009-12-03GFS2: Tag all metadata with jidSteven Whitehouse
There are two spare field in the header common to all GFS2 metadata. One is just the right size to fit a journal id in it, and this patch updates the journal code so that each time a metadata block is modified, we tag it with the journal id of the node which is performing the modification. The reason for this is that it should make it much easier to debug issues which arise if we can tell which node was the last to modify a particular metadata block. Since the field is updated before the block is written into the journal, each journal should only contain metadata which is tagged with its own journal id. The one exception to this is the journal header block, which might have a different node's id in it, if that journal was recovered by another node in the cluster. Thus each journal will contain a record of which nodes recovered it, via the journal header. The other field in the metadata header could potentially be used to hold information about what kind of operation was performed, but for the time being we just zero it on each transaction so that if we use it for that in future, we'll know that the information (where it exists) is reliable. I did consider using the other field to hold the journal sequence number, however since in GFS2's journaling we write the modified data into the journal and not the original data, this gives no information as to what action caused the modification, so I think we can probably come up with a better use for those 64 bits in the future.
