      xfs: Replace per-ag array with a radix tree · 1c1c6ebc
      Dave Chinner 提交于
      The use of an array for the per-ag structures requires reallocation
      of the array when growing the filesystem. This requires locking
      access to the array to avoid use after free situations, and the
      locking is difficult to get right. To avoid needing to reallocate an
      array, change the per-ag structures to an allocated object per ag
      and index them using a tree structure.
      
      The AGs are always densely indexed (hence the use of an array), but
      the number supported is 2^32 and lookups tend to be random and hence
      indexing needs to scale. A simple choice is a radix tree - it works
      well with this sort of index.  This change also removes another
      large contiguous allocation from the mount/growfs path in XFS.
      
      The growing process now needs to change to only initialise the new
      AGs required for the extra space, and as such only needs to
      exclusively lock the tree for inserts. The rest of the code only
      needs to lock the tree while doing lookups, and hence this will
      remove all the deadlocks that currently occur on the m_perag_lock as
      it is now an innermost lock. The lock is also changed to a spinlock
      from a read/write lock as the hold time is now extremely short.
      
      To complete the picture, the per-ag structures will need to be
      reference counted to ensure that we don't free/modify them while
      they are still in use.  This will be done in subsequent patch.

      xfs: Don't directly reference m_perag in allocation code · a862e0fd
      Dave Chinner 提交于
      Start abstracting the perag references so that the indexing of the
      structures is not directly coded into all the places that uses the
      perag structures. This will allow us to separate the use of the
      perag structure and the way it is indexed and hence avoid the known
      deadlocks related to growing a busy filesystem.

      xfs: Ensure we force all busy extents in range to disk · fd45e478
      Dave Chinner 提交于
      When we search for and find a busy extent during allocation we
      force the log out to ensure the extent free transaction is on
      disk before the allocation transaction. The current implementation
      has a subtle bug in it--it does not handle multiple overlapping
      ranges.
      
      That is, if we free lots of little extents into a single
      contiguous extent, then allocate the contiguous extent, the busy
      search code stops searching at the first extent it finds that
      overlaps the allocated range. It then uses the commit LSN of the
      transaction to force the log out to.
      
      Unfortunately, the other busy ranges might have more recent
      commit LSNs than the first busy extent that is found, and this
      results in xfs_alloc_search_busy() returning before all the
      extent free transactions are on disk for the range being
      allocated. This can lead to potential metadata corruption or
      stale data exposure after a crash because log replay won't replay
      all the extent free transactions that cover the allocation range.

      xfs: event tracing support · 0b1b213f
      Christoph Hellwig 提交于
      Convert the old xfs tracing support that could only be used with the
      out of tree kdb and xfsidbg patches to use the generic event tracer.
      
      To use it make sure CONFIG_EVENT_TRACING is enabled and then enable
      all xfs trace channels by:
      
         echo 1 > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/xfs/enable
      
      or alternatively enable single events by just doing the same in one
      event subdirectory, e.g.
      
         echo 1 > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/xfs/xfs_ihold/enable
      
      or set more complex filters, etc. In Documentation/trace/events.txt
      all this is desctribed in more detail.  To reads the events do a
      
         cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/trace
      
      Compared to the last posting this patch converts the tracing mostly to
      the one tracepoint per callsite model that other users of the new
      tracing facility also employ.  This allows a very fine-grained control
      of the tracing, a cleaner output of the traces and also enables the
      perf tool to use each tracepoint as a virtual performance counter,
           allowing us to e.g. count how often certain workloads git various
           spots in XFS.  Take a look at
      
          http://lwn.net/Articles/346470/
      
      for some examples.
      
      Also the btree tracing isn't included at all yet, as it will require
      additional core tracing features not in mainline yet, I plan to
      deliver it later.
      
      And the really nice thing about this patch is that it actually removes
      many lines of code while adding this nice functionality:

      [XFS] Lazy Superblock Counters · 92821e2b
      David Chinner 提交于
      When we have a couple of hundred transactions on the fly at once, they all
      typically modify the on disk superblock in some way.
      create/unclink/mkdir/rmdir modify inode counts, allocation/freeing modify
      free block counts.
      
      When these counts are modified in a transaction, they must eventually lock
      the superblock buffer and apply the mods. The buffer then remains locked
      until the transaction is committed into the incore log buffer. The result
      of this is that with enough transactions on the fly the incore superblock
      buffer becomes a bottleneck.
      
      The result of contention on the incore superblock buffer is that
      transaction rates fall - the more pressure that is put on the superblock
      buffer, the slower things go.
      
      The key to removing the contention is to not require the superblock fields
      in question to be locked. We do that by not marking the superblock dirty
      in the transaction. IOWs, we modify the incore superblock but do not
      modify the cached superblock buffer. In short, we do not log superblock
      modifications to critical fields in the superblock on every transaction.
      In fact we only do it just before we write the superblock to disk every
      sync period or just before unmount.
      
      This creates an interesting problem - if we don't log or write out the
      fields in every transaction, then how do the values get recovered after a
      crash? the answer is simple - we keep enough duplicate, logged information
      in other structures that we can reconstruct the correct count after log
      recovery has been performed.
      
      It is the AGF and AGI structures that contain the duplicate information;
      after recovery, we walk every AGI and AGF and sum their individual
      counters to get the correct value, and we do a transaction into the log to
      correct them. An optimisation of this is that if we have a clean unmount
      record, we know the value in the superblock is correct, so we can avoid
      the summation walk under normal conditions and so mount/recovery times do
      not change under normal operation.
      
      One wrinkle that was discovered during development was that the blocks
      used in the freespace btrees are never accounted for in the AGF counters.
      This was once a valid optimisation to make; when the filesystem is full,
      the free space btrees are empty and consume no space. Hence when it
      matters, the "accounting" is correct. But that means the when we do the
      AGF summations, we would not have a correct count and xfs_check would
      complain. Hence a new counter was added to track the number of blocks used
      by the free space btrees. This is an *on-disk format change*.
      
      As a result of this, lazy superblock counters are a mkfs option and at the
      moment on linux there is no way to convert an old filesystem. This is
      possible - xfs_db can be used to twiddle the right bits and then
      xfs_repair will do the format conversion for you. Similarly, you can
      convert backwards as well. At some point we'll add functionality to
      xfs_admin to do the bit twiddling easily....

      [XFS] Fix xfs_free_extent related NULL pointer dereference. · 0e1edbd9
      Nathan Scott 提交于
      We recently fixed an out-of-space deadlock in XFS, and part of that fix
      involved the addition of the XFS_ALLOC_FLAG_FREEING flag to some of the
      space allocator calls to indicate they're freeing space, not allocating
      it. There was a missed xfs_alloc_fix_freelist condition test that did not
      correctly test "flags". The same test would also test an uninitialised
      structure field (args->userdata) and depending on its value either would
      or would not return early with a critical buffer pointer set to NULL.
      
      This fixes that up, adds asserts to several places to catch future botches
      of this nature, and skips sections of xfs_alloc_fix_freelist that are
      irrelevent for the space-freeing case.

      [XFS] In actual allocation of file system blocks and freeing extents, the · d210a28c
      Yingping Lu 提交于
      transaction within each such operation may involve multiple locking of AGF
      buffer. While the freeing extent function has sorted the extents based on
      AGF number before entering into transaction, however, when the file system
      space is very limited, the allocation of space would try every AGF to get
      space allocated, this could potentially cause out-of-order locking, thus
      deadlock could happen. This fix mitigates the scarce space for allocation
      by setting aside a few blocks without reservation, and avoid deadlock by
      maintaining ascending order of AGF locking.
