2017-10-03mm: have filemap_check_and_advance_wb_err clear AS_EIO/AS_ENOSPCJeff Layton
Eryu noticed that he could sometimes get a leftover error reported when it shouldn't be on fsync with ext2 and non-journalled ext4. The problem is that writeback_single_inode still uses filemap_fdatawait. That picks up a previously set AS_EIO flag, which would ordinarily have been cleared before. Since we're mostly using this function as a replacement for filemap_check_errors, have filemap_check_and_advance_wb_err clear AS_EIO and AS_ENOSPC when reporting an error. That should allow the new function to better emulate the behavior of the old with respect to these flags.

2017-09-25fs: Fix page cache inconsistency when mixing buffered and AIO DIOLukas Czerner
Currently when mixing buffered reads and asynchronous direct writes it is possible to end up with the situation where we have stale data in the page cache while the new data is already written to disk. This is permanent until the affected pages are flushed away. Despite the fact that mixing buffered and direct IO is ill-advised it does pose a thread for a data integrity, is unexpected and should be fixed. Fix this by deferring completion of asynchronous direct writes to a process context in the case that there are mapped pages to be found in the inode. Later before the completion in dio_complete() invalidate the pages in question. This ensures that after the completion the pages in the written area are either unmapped, or populated with up-to-date data. Also do the same for the iomap case which uses iomap_dio_complete() instead. This has a side effect of deferring the completion to a process context for every AIO DIO that happens on inode that has pages mapped. However since the consensus is that this is ill-advised practice the performance implication should not be a problem. This was based on proposal from Jeff Moyer, thanks!

Now that we have added breaks in the wait queue scan and allow bookmark on scan position, we put this logic in the wake_up_page_bit function. We can have very long page wait list in large system where multiple pages share the same wait list. We break the wake up walk here to allow other cpus a chance to access the list, and not to disable the interrupts when traversing the list for too long. This reduces the interrupt and rescheduling latency, and excessive page wait queue lock hold time.

2017-08-28page waitqueue: always add new entries at the endLinus Torvalds
Commit 3510ca20ece0 ("Minor page waitqueue cleanups") made the page queue code always add new waiters to the back of the queue, which helps upcoming patches to batch the wakeups for some horrid loads where the wait queues grow to thousands of entries. However, I forgot about the nasrt add_page_wait_queue() special case code that is only used by the cachefiles code. That one still continued to add the new wait queue entries at the beginning of the list. Fix it, because any sane batched wakeup will require that we don't suddenly start getting new entries at the beginning of the list that we already handled in a previous batch. [ The current code always does the whole list while holding the lock, so wait queue ordering doesn't matter for correctness, but even then it's better to add later entries at the end from a fairness standpoint ] Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
2017-08-27Avoid page waitqueue race leaving possible page locker waitingLinus Torvalds
The "lock_page_killable()" function waits for exclusive access to the page lock bit using the WQ_FLAG_EXCLUSIVE bit in the waitqueue entry set. That means that if it gets woken up, other waiters may have been skipped. That, in turn, means that if it sees the page being unlocked, it *must* take that lock and return success, even if a lethal signal is also pending. So instead of checking for lethal signals first, we need to check for them after we've checked the actual bit that we were waiting for. Even if that might then delay the killing of the process. This matches the order of the old "wait_on_bit_lock()" infrastructure that the page locking used to use (and is still used in a few other areas). Note that if we still return an error after having unsuccessfully tried to acquire the page lock, that is ok: that means that some other thread was able to get ahead of us and lock the page, and when that other thread then unlocks the page, the wakeup event will be repeated. So any other pending waiters will now get properly woken up.

2017-08-27Minor page waitqueue cleanupsLinus Torvalds
Tim Chen and Kan Liang have been battling a customer load that shows extremely long page wakeup lists. The cause seems to be constant NUMA migration of a hot page that is shared across a lot of threads, but the actual root cause for the exact behavior has not been found. Tim has a patch that batches the wait list traversal at wakeup time, so that we at least don't get long uninterruptible cases where we traverse and wake up thousands of processes and get nasty latency spikes. That is likely 4.14 material, but we're still discussing the page waitqueue specific parts of it. In the meantime, I've tried to look at making the page wait queues less expensive, and failing miserably. If you have thousands of threads waiting for the same page, it will be painful. We'll need to try to figure out the NUMA balancing issue some day, in addition to avoiding the excessive spinlock hold times. That said, having tried to rewrite the page wait queues, I can at least fix up some of the braindamage in the current situation. In particular: (a) we don't want to continue walking the page wait list if the bit we're waiting for already got set again (which seems to be one of the patterns of the bad load). That makes no progress and just causes pointless cache pollution chasing the pointers. (b) we don't want to put the non-locking waiters always on the front of the queue, and the locking waiters always on the back. Not only is that unfair, it means that we wake up thousands of reading threads that will just end up being blocked by the writer later anyway. Also add a comment about the layout of 'struct wait_page_key' - there is an external user of it in the cachefiles code that means that it has to match the layout of 'struct wait_bit_key' in the two first members. It so happens to match, because 'struct page *' and 'unsigned long *' end up having the same values simply because the page flags are the first member in struct page.

This is not needed since we know the EOF from the inode. Use that instead. There may be races here, particularly with clustered or network filesystems. It also seems like a bit of a layering violation since we're operating on an address_space here, not an inode. Finally, it's also questionable whether this optimization really helps on workloads that we care about. Should we be optimizing for writeback vs. truncate races in a codepath where we expect to wait anyway? It doesn't seem worth the risk. Remove this optimization from the filemap_fdatawait codepaths.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jlayton/linux Pull Writeback error handling updates from Jeff Layton: "This pile represents the bulk of the writeback error handling fixes that I have for this cycle. Some of the earlier patches in this pile may look trivial but they are prerequisites for later patches in the series. The aim of this set is to improve how we track and report writeback errors to userland. Most applications that care about data integrity will periodically call fsync/fdatasync/msync to ensure that their writes have made it to the backing store. For a very long time, we have tracked writeback errors using two flags in the address_space: AS_EIO and AS_ENOSPC. Those flags are set when a writeback error occurs (via mapping_set_error) and are cleared as a side-effect of filemap_check_errors (as you noted yesterday). This model really sucks for userland. Only the first task to call fsync (or msync or fdatasync) will see the error. Any subsequent task calling fsync on a file will get back 0 (unless another writeback error occurs in the interim). If I have several tasks writing to a file and calling fsync to ensure that their writes got stored, then I need to have them coordinate with one another. That's difficult enough, but in a world of containerized setups that coordination may even not be possible. But wait...it gets worse! The calls to filemap_check_errors can be buried pretty far down in the call stack, and there are internal callers of filemap_write_and_wait and the like that also end up clearing those errors. Many of those callers ignore the error return from that function or return it to userland at nonsensical times (e.g. truncate() or stat()). If I get back -EIO on a truncate, there is no reason to think that it was because some previous writeback failed, and a subsequent fsync() will (incorrectly) return 0. This pile aims to do three things: 1) ensure that when a writeback error occurs that that error will be reported to userland on a subsequent fsync/fdatasync/msync call, regardless of what internal callers are doing 2) report writeback errors on all file descriptions that were open at the time that the error occurred. This is a user-visible change, but I think most applications are written to assume this behavior anyway. Those that aren't are unlikely to be hurt by it. 3) document what filesystems should do when there is a writeback error. Today, there is very little consistency between them, and a lot of cargo-cult copying. We need to make it very clear what filesystems should do in this situation. To achieve this, the set adds a new data type (errseq_t) and then builds new writeback error tracking infrastructure around that. Once all of that is in place, we change the filesystems to use the new infrastructure for reporting wb errors to userland. Note that this is just the initial foray into cleaning up this mess. There is a lot of work remaining here: 1) convert the rest of the filesystems in a similar fashion. Once the initial set is in, then I think most other fs' will be fairly simple to convert. Hopefully most of those can in via individual filesystem trees. 2) convert internal waiters on writeback to use errseq_t for detecting errors instead of relying on the AS_* flags. I have some draft patches for this for ext4, but they are not quite ready for prime time yet. This was a discussion topic this year at LSF/MM too.

2017-07-06fs: new infrastructure for writeback error handling and reportingJeff Layton
Most filesystems currently use mapping_set_error and filemap_check_errors for setting and reporting/clearing writeback errors at the mapping level. filemap_check_errors is indirectly called from most of the filemap_fdatawait_* functions and from filemap_write_and_wait*. These functions are called from all sorts of contexts to wait on writeback to finish -- e.g. mostly in fsync, but also in truncate calls, getattr, etc. The non-fsync callers are problematic. We should be reporting writeback errors during fsync, but many places spread over the tree clear out errors before they can be properly reported, or report errors at nonsensical times. If I get -EIO on a stat() call, there is no reason for me to assume that it is because some previous writeback failed. The fact that it also clears out the error such that a subsequent fsync returns 0 is a bug, and a nasty one since that's potentially silent data corruption. This patch adds a small bit of new infrastructure for setting and reporting errors during address_space writeback. While the above was my original impetus for adding this, I think it's also the case that current fsync semantics are just problematic for userland. Most applications that call fsync do so to ensure that the data they wrote has hit the backing store. In the case where there are multiple writers to the file at the same time, this is really hard to determine. The first one to call fsync will see any stored error, and the rest get back 0. The processes with open fds may not be associated with one another in any way. They could even be in different containers, so ensuring coordination between all fsync callers is not really an option. One way to remedy this would be to track what file descriptor was used to dirty the file, but that's rather cumbersome and would likely be slow. However, there is a simpler way to improve the semantics here without incurring too much overhead. This set adds an errseq_t to struct address_space, and a corresponding one is added to struct file. Writeback errors are recorded in the mapping's errseq_t, and the one in struct file is used as the "since" value. This changes the semantics of the Linux fsync implementation such that applications can now use it to determine whether there were any writeback errors since fsync(fd) was last called (or since the file was opened in the case of fsync having never been called). Note that those writeback errors may have occurred when writing data that was dirtied via an entirely different fd, but that's the case now with the current mapping_set_error/filemap_check_error infrastructure. This will at least prevent you from getting a false report of success. The new behavior is still consistent with the POSIX spec, and is more reliable for application developers. This patch just adds some basic infrastructure for doing this, and ensures that the f_wb_err "cursor" is properly set when a file is opened. Later patches will change the existing code to use this new infrastructure for reporting errors at fsync time. Signed-off-by: Jeff Layton <jlayton@redhat.com> Reviewed-by: Jan Kara <jack@suse.cz>
2017-07-06mm: don't TestClearPageError in __filemap_fdatawait_rangeJeff Layton
The -EIO returned here can end up overriding whatever error is marked in the address space, and be returned at fsync time, even when there is a more appropriate error stored in the mapping. Read errors are also sometimes tracked on a per-page level using PG_error. Suppose we have a read error on a page, and then that page is subsequently dirtied by overwriting the whole page. Writeback doesn't clear PG_error, so we can then end up successfully writing back that page and still return -EIO on fsync. Worse yet, PG_error is cleared during a sync() syscall, but the -EIO return from that is silently discarded. Any subsystem that is relying on PG_error to report errors during fsync can easily lose writeback errors due to this. All you need is a stray sync() call to wait for writeback to complete and you've lost the error. Since the handling of the PG_error flag is somewhat inconsistent across subsystems, let's just rely on marking the address space when there are writeback errors. Change the TestClearPageError call to ClearPageError, and make __filemap_fdatawait_range a void return function. Signed-off-by: Jeff Layton <jlayton@redhat.com>

2017-06-20sched/wait: Disambiguate wq_entry->task_list and wq_head->task_list namingIngo Molnar
So I've noticed a number of instances where it was not obvious from the code whether ->task_list was for a wait-queue head or a wait-queue entry. Furthermore, there's a number of wait-queue users where the lists are not for 'tasks' but other entities (poll tables, etc.), in which case the 'task_list' name is actively confusing. To clear this all up, name the wait-queue head and entry list structure fields unambiguously: struct wait_queue_head::task_list => ::head struct wait_queue_entry::task_list => ::entry For example, this code: rqw->wait.task_list.next != &wait->task_list ... is was pretty unclear (to me) what it's doing, while now it's written this way: rqw->wait.head.next != &wait->entry ... which makes it pretty clear that we are iterating a list until we see the head. Other examples are: list_for_each_entry_safe(pos, next, &x->task_list, task_list) { list_for_each_entry(wq, &fence->wait.task_list, task_list) { ... where it's unclear (to me) what we are iterating, and during review it's hard to tell whether it's trying to walk a wait-queue entry (which would be a bug), while now it's written as: list_for_each_entry_safe(pos, next, &x->head, entry) { list_for_each_entry(wq, &fence->wait.head, entry) { Cc: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Cc: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Cc: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@kernel.org>
2017-06-20sched/wait: Rename wait_queue_t => wait_queue_entry_tIngo Molnar
Rename: wait_queue_t => wait_queue_entry_t 'wait_queue_t' was always a slight misnomer: its name implies that it's a "queue", but in reality it's a queue *entry*. The 'real' queue is the wait queue head, which had to carry the name. Start sorting this out by renaming it to 'wait_queue_entry_t'. This also allows the real structure name 'struct __wait_queue' to lose its double underscore and become 'struct wait_queue_entry', which is the more canonical nomenclature for such data types.

2017-05-03fs: fix data invalidation in the cleancache during direct IOAndrey Ryabinin
Patch series "Properly invalidate data in the cleancache", v2. We've noticed that after direct IO write, buffered read sometimes gets stale data which is coming from the cleancache. The reason for this is that some direct write hooks call call invalidate_inode_pages2[_range]() conditionally iff mapping->nrpages is not zero, so we may not invalidate data in the cleancache. Another odd thing is that we check only for ->nrpages and don't check for ->nrexceptional, but invalidate_inode_pages2[_range] also invalidates exceptional entries as well. So we invalidate exceptional entries only if ->nrpages != 0? This doesn't feel right. - Patch 1 fixes direct IO writes by removing ->nrpages check. - Patch 2 fixes similar case in invalidate_bdev(). Note: I only fixed conditional cleancache_invalidate_inode() here. Do we also need to add ->nrexceptional check in into invalidate_bdev()? - Patches 3-4: some optimizations. This patch (of 4): Some direct IO write fs hooks call invalidate_inode_pages2[_range]() conditionally iff mapping->nrpages is not zero. This can't be right, because invalidate_inode_pages2[_range]() also invalidate data in the cleancache via cleancache_invalidate_inode() call. So if page cache is empty but there is some data in the cleancache, buffered read after direct IO write would get stale data from the cleancache. Also it doesn't feel right to check only for ->nrpages because invalidate_inode_pages2[_range] invalidates exceptional entries as well. Fix this by calling invalidate_inode_pages2[_range]() regardless of nrpages state. Note: nfs,cifs,9p doesn't need similar fix because the never call cleancache_get_page() (nor directly, nor via mpage_readpage[s]()), so they are not affected by this bug.

Converting round_up into an inline function prevents it from being used in other definitions. The easiest thing to do is just change these three usages of round_up to use DIV_ROUND_UP. Also add an unlikely() because GCC's heuristic is wrong in this case.

2017-02-24mm: do not access page->mapping directly on page_endioMinchan Kim
With rw_page, page_endio is used for completing IO on a page and it propagates write error to the address space if the IO fails. The problem is it accesses page->mapping directly which might be okay for file-backed pages but it shouldn't for anonymous page. Otherwise, it can corrupt one of field from anon_vma under us and system goes panic randomly. swap_writepage bdev_writepage ops->rw_page I encountered the BUG during developing new zram feature and it was really hard to figure it out because it made random crash, somtime mmap_sem lockdep, sometime other places where places never related to zram/zsmalloc, and not reproducible with some configuration.

Currently in DAX if we have three read faults on the same hole address we can end up with the following: Thread 0 Thread 1 Thread 2 -------- -------- -------- dax_iomap_fault grab_mapping_entry lock_slot <locks empty DAX entry> dax_iomap_fault grab_mapping_entry get_unlocked_mapping_entry <sleeps on empty DAX entry> dax_iomap_fault grab_mapping_entry get_unlocked_mapping_entry <sleeps on empty DAX entry> dax_load_hole find_or_create_page ... page_cache_tree_insert dax_wake_mapping_entry_waiter <wakes one sleeper> __radix_tree_replace <swaps empty DAX entry with 4k zero page> <wakes> get_page lock_page ... put_locked_mapping_entry unlock_page put_page <sleeps forever on the DAX wait queue> The crux of the problem is that once we insert a 4k zero page, all locking from then on is done in terms of that 4k zero page and any additional threads sleeping on the empty DAX entry will never be woken. Fix this by waking all sleepers when we replace the DAX radix tree entry with a 4k zero page. This will allow all sleeping threads to successfully transition from locking based on the DAX empty entry to locking on the 4k zero page. With the test case reported by Xiong this happens very regularly in my test setup, with some runs resulting in 9+ threads in this deadlocked state. With this fix I've been able to run that same test dozens of times in a loop without issue.

2016-12-29mm: optimize PageWaiters bit use for unlock_page()Linus Torvalds
In commit 62906027091f ("mm: add PageWaiters indicating tasks are waiting for a page bit") Nick Piggin made our page locking no longer unconditionally touch the hashed page waitqueue, which not only helps performance in general, but is particularly helpful on NUMA machines where the hashed wait queues can bounce around a lot. However, the "clear lock bit atomically and then test the waiters bit" sequence turns out to be much more expensive than it needs to be, because you get a nasty stall when trying to access the same word that just got updated atomically. On architectures where locking is done with LL/SC, this would be trivial to fix with a new primitive that clears one bit and tests another atomically, but that ends up not working on x86, where the only atomic operations that return the result end up being cmpxchg and xadd. The atomic bit operations return the old value of the same bit we changed, not the value of an unrelated bit. On x86, we could put the lock bit in the high bit of the byte, and use "xadd" with that bit (where the overflow ends up not touching other bits), and look at the other bits of the result. However, an even simpler model is to just use a regular atomic "and" to clear the lock bit, and then the sign bit in eflags will indicate the resulting state of the unrelated bit #7. So by moving the PageWaiters bit up to bit #7, we can atomically clear the lock bit and test the waiters bit on x86 too. And architectures with LL/SC (which is all the usual RISC suspects), the particular bit doesn't matter, so they are fine with this approach too. This avoids the extra access to the same atomic word, and thus avoids the costly stall at page unlock time. The only downside is that the interface ends up being a bit odd and specialized: clear a bit in a byte, and test the sign bit. Nick doesn't love the resulting name of the new primitive, but I'd rather make the name be descriptive and very clear about the limitation imposed by trying to work across all relevant architectures than make it be some generic thing that doesn't make the odd semantics explicit. So this introduces the new architecture primitive clear_bit_unlock_is_negative_byte(); and adds the trivial implementation for x86. We have a generic non-optimized fallback (that just does a "clear_bit()"+"test_bit(7)" combination) which can be overridden by any architecture that can do better. According to Nick, Power has the same hickup x86 has, for example, but some other architectures may not even care. All these optimizations mean that my page locking stress-test (which is just executing a lot of small short-lived shell scripts: "make test" in the git source tree) no longer makes our page locking look horribly bad. Before all these optimizations, just the unlock_page() costs were just over 3% of all CPU overhead on "make test". After this, it's down to 0.66%, so just a quarter of the cost it used to be. (The difference on NUMA is bigger, but there this micro-optimization is likely less noticeable, since the big issue on NUMA was not the accesses to 'struct page', but the waitqueue accesses that were already removed by Nick's earlier commit).

2016-12-25mm: add PageWaiters indicating tasks are waiting for a page bitNicholas Piggin
Add a new page flag, PageWaiters, to indicate the page waitqueue has tasks waiting. This can be tested rather than testing waitqueue_active which requires another cacheline load. This bit is always set when the page has tasks on page_waitqueue(page), and is set and cleared under the waitqueue lock. It may be set when there are no tasks on the waitqueue, which will cause a harmless extra wakeup check that will clears the bit. The generic bit-waitqueue infrastructure is no longer used for pages. Instead, waitqueues are used directly with a custom key type. The generic code was not flexible enough to have PageWaiters manipulation under the waitqueue lock (which simplifies concurrency). This improves the performance of page lock intensive microbenchmarks by 2-3%. Putting two bits in the same word opens the opportunity to remove the memory barrier between clearing the lock bit and testing the waiters bit, after some work on the arch primitives (e.g., ensuring memory operand widths match and cover both bits).
