      ext4, jbd2: Add barriers for file systems with exernal journals · cc3e1bea
      Theodore Ts'o 提交于
      This is a bit complicated because we are trying to optimize when we
      send barriers to the fs data disk.  We could just throw in an extra
      barrier to the data disk whenever we send a barrier to the journal
      disk, but that's not always strictly necessary.
      
      We only need to send a barrier during a commit when there are data
      blocks which are must be written out due to an inode written in
      ordered mode, or if fsync() depends on the commit to force data blocks
      to disk.  Finally, before we drop transactions from the beginning of
      the journal during a checkpoint operation, we need to guarantee that
      any blocks that were flushed out to the data disk are firmly on the
      rust platter before we drop the transaction from the journal.
      
      Thanks to Oleg Drokin for pointing out this flaw in ext3/ext4.

      ext4: Fix async commit mode to be safe by using a barrier · 0e3d2a63
      Theodore Ts'o 提交于
      Previously the journal_async_commit mount option was equivalent to
      using barrier=0 (and just as unsafe).  This patch fixes it so that we
      eliminate the barrier before the commit block (by not using ordered
      mode), and explicitly issuing an empty barrier bio after writing the
      commit block.  Because of the journal checksum, it is safe to do this;
      if the journal blocks are not all written before a power failure, the
      checksum in the commit block will prevent the last transaction from
      being replayed.
      
      Using the fs_mark benchmark, using journal_async_commit shows a 50%
      improvement:

      jbd2: Add buffer triggers · e06c8227
      Joel Becker 提交于
      Filesystems often to do compute intensive operation on some
      metadata.  If this operation is repeated many times, it can be very
      expensive.  It would be much nicer if the operation could be performed
      once before a buffer goes to disk.
      
      This adds triggers to jbd2 buffer heads.  Just before writing a metadata
      buffer to the journal, jbd2 will optionally call a commit trigger associated
      with the buffer.  If the journal is aborted, an abort trigger will be
      called on any dirty buffers as they are dropped from pending
      transactions.
      
      ocfs2 will use this feature.
      
      Initially I tried to come up with a more generic trigger that could be
      used for non-buffer-related events like transaction completion.  It
      doesn't tie nicely, because the information a buffer trigger needs
      (specific to a journal_head) isn't the same as what a transaction
      trigger needs (specific to a tranaction_t or perhaps journal_t).  So I
      implemented a buffer set, with the understanding that
      journal/transaction wide triggers should be implemented separately.
      
      There is only one trigger set allowed per buffer.  I can't think of any
      reason to attach more than one set.  Contrast this with a journal or
      transaction in which multiple places may want to watch the entire
      transaction separately.
      
      The trigger sets are considered static allocation from the jbd2
      perspective.  ocfs2 will just have one trigger set per block type,
      setting the same set on every bh of the same type.

      jbd2: improve jbd2 fsync batching · e07f7183
      Josef Bacik 提交于
      This patch removes the static sleep time in favor of a more self
      optimizing approach where we measure the average amount of time it
      takes to commit a transaction to disk and the ammount of time a
      transaction has been running.  If somebody does a sync write or an
      fsync() traditionally we would sleep for 1 jiffies, which depending on
      the value of HZ could be a significant amount of time compared to how
      long it takes to commit a transaction to the underlying storage.  With
      this patch instead of sleeping for a jiffie, we check to see if the
      amount of time this transaction has been running is less than the
      average commit time, and if it is we sleep for the delta using
      schedule_hrtimeout to give us a higher precision sleep time.  This
      greatly benefits high end storage where you could end up sleeping for
      longer than it takes to commit the transaction and therefore sitting
      idle instead of allowing the transaction to be committed by keeping
      the sleep time to a minimum so you are sure to always be doing
      something.

      ext4: add an option to control error handling on file data · 5bf5683a
      Hidehiro Kawai 提交于
      If the journal doesn't abort when it gets an IO error in file data
      blocks, the file data corruption will spread silently.  Because
      most of applications and commands do buffered writes without fsync(),
      they don't notice the IO error.  It's scary for mission critical
      systems.  On the other hand, if the journal aborts whenever it gets
      an IO error in file data blocks, the system will easily become
      inoperable.  So this patch introduces a filesystem option to
      determine whether it aborts the journal or just call printk() when
      it gets an IO error in file data.
      
      If you mount an ext4 fs with data_err=abort option, it aborts on file
      data write error.  If you mount it with data_err=ignore, it doesn't
      abort, just call printk().  data_err=ignore is the default.
      
      Here is the corresponding patch of the ext3 version:

      jbd2: don't dirty original metadata buffer on abort · 7ad7445f
      Hidehiro Kawai 提交于
      Currently, original metadata buffers are dirtied when they are
      unfiled whether the journal has aborted or not.  Eventually these
      buffers will be written-back to the filesystem by pdflush.  This
      means some metadata buffers are written to the filesystem without
      journaling if the journal aborts.  So if both journal abort and
      system crash happen at the same time, the filesystem would become
      inconsistent state.  Additionally, replaying journaled metadata
      can overwrite the latest metadata on the filesystem partly.
      Because, if the journal gets aborted, journaled metadata are
      preserved and replayed during the next mount not to lose
      uncheckpointed metadata.  This would also break the consistency
      of the filesystem.
      
      This patch prevents original metadata buffers from being dirtied
      on abort by clearing BH_JBDDirty flag from those buffers.  Thus,
      no metadata buffers are written to the filesystem without journaling.

      jbd2: abort when failed to log metadata buffers · 77e841de
      Hidehiro Kawai 提交于
      If we failed to write metadata buffers to the journal space and
      succeeded to write the commit record, stale data can be written
      back to the filesystem as metadata in the recovery phase.
      
      To avoid this, when we failed to write out metadata buffers,
      abort the journal before writing the commit record.
      
      We can also avoid this kind of corruption by using the journal
      checksum feature because it can detect invalid metadata blocks in the
      journal and avoid them from being replayed.  So we don't need to care
      about asynchronous commit record writeout with a checksum.

      jbd2: don't abort if flushing file data failed · e9e34f4e

      In ordered mode, the current jbd2 aborts the journal if a file data buffer
      has an error.  But this behavior is unintended, and we found that it has

      written via generic_writepages().  But we also need to set AS_EIO
      into their mappings because wait_on_page_writeback_range() clears

      jbd2: fix possible journal overflow issues · 1dfc3220
      Josef Bacik 提交于
      There are several cases where the running transaction can get buffers
      added to its BJ_Metadata list which it never dirtied, which makes its
      t_nr_buffers counter end up larger than its t_outstanding_credits
      counter.
      
      This will cause issues when starting new transactions as while we are
      logging buffers we decrement t_outstanding_buffers, so when
      t_outstanding_buffers goes negative, we will report that we need less
      space in the journal than we actually need, so transactions will be
      started even though there may not be enough room for them.  In the worst
      case scenario (which admittedly is almost impossible to reproduce) this
      will result in the journal running out of space.
      
      The fix is to only refile buffers from the committing transaction to the
      running transactions BJ_Modified list when b_modified is set on that
      journal, which is the only way to be sure if the running transaction has
      modified that buffer.
      
      This patch also fixes an accounting error in journal_forget, it is
      possible that we can call journal_forget on a buffer without having
      modified it, only gotten write access to it, so instead of freeing a
      credit, we only do so if the buffer was modified.  The assert will help
      catch if this problem occurs.  Without these two patches I could hit
      this assert within minutes of running postmark, with them this issue no
      longer arises.

      jbd2: fix the way the b_modified flag is cleared · 9fc7c63a
      Josef Bacik 提交于
      Currently at the start of a journal commit we loop through all of the buffers
      on the committing transaction and clear the b_modified flag (the flag that is
      set when a transaction modifies the buffer) under the j_list_lock.
      
      The problem is that everywhere else this flag is modified only under the jbd2
      lock buffer flag, so it will race with a running transaction who could
      potentially set it, and have it unset by the committing transaction.
      
      This is also a big waste, you can have several thousands of buffers that you
      are clearing the modified flag on when you may not need to.  This patch
      removes this code and instead clears the b_modified flag upon entering
      do_get_write_access/journal_get_create_access, so if that transaction does
      indeed use the buffer then it will be accounted for properly, and if it does
      not then we know we didn't use it.
      
      That will be important for the next patch in this series.  Tested thoroughly
      by myself using postmark/iozone/bonnie++.

      JBD2: Clear buffer_ordered flag for barried IO request on success · c4e35e07
      Dave Kleikamp 提交于
      In JBD2 jbd2_journal_write_commit_record(), clear the buffer_ordered
      flag for the bh after barried IO has succeed. This prevents later, if
      the same buffer head were submitted to the underlying device, which has
      been reconfigured to not support barrier request, the JBD2 commit code
      could treat it as a normal IO (without barrier).
      
      This is a port from JBD/ext3 fix from Neil Brown.
      
      More details from Neil:
      
      Some devices - notably dm and md - can change their behaviour in
      response to BIO_RW_BARRIER requests.  They might start out accepting
      such requests but on reconfiguration, they find out that they cannot
      any more. JBD2 deal with this by always testing if BIO_RW_BARRIER
      requests fail with EOPNOTSUPP, and retrying the write
      requests without the barrier (probably after waiting for any pending
      writes to complete).
      
      However there is a bug in the handling this in JBD2 for ext4 .
      
      When ext4/JBD2 to submit a BIO_RW_BARRIER request,
      it sets the buffer_ordered flag on the buffer head.
      If the request completes successfully, the flag STAYS SET.
      
      Other code might then write the same buffer_head after the device has
      been reconfigured to not accept barriers.  This write will then fail,
      but the "other code" is not ready to handle EOPNOTSUPP errors and the
      error will be treated as fatal.

      there are waiters on the lock, to be used if CONFIG_GENERIC_LOCKBREAK is
      not set.
      
      Rename need_lockbreak to spin_needbreak, make it use spin_is_contended to
      decouple it from the spinlock implementation, and make it typesafe (rwlocks

      ext4: Add the journal checksum feature · 818d276c
      Girish Shilamkar 提交于
      The journal checksum feature adds two new flags i.e
      JBD2_FEATURE_INCOMPAT_ASYNC_COMMIT and JBD2_FEATURE_COMPAT_CHECKSUM.
      
      JBD2_FEATURE_CHECKSUM flag indicates that the commit block contains the
      checksum for the blocks described by the descriptor blocks.
      Due to checksums, writing of the commit record no longer needs to be
      synchronous. Now commit record can be sent to disk without waiting for
      descriptor blocks to be written to disk. This behavior is controlled
      using JBD2_FEATURE_ASYNC_COMMIT flag. Older kernels/e2fsck should not be
      able to recover the journal with _ASYNC_COMMIT hence it is made
      incompat.
      The commit header has been extended to hold the checksum along with the
      type of the checksum.
      
      For recovery in pass scan checksums are verified to ensure the sanity
      and completeness(in case of _ASYNC_COMMIT) of every transaction.
