      ext4: improve extent cache shrink mechanism to avoid to burn CPU time · d3922a77
      Zheng Liu 提交于
      Now we maintain an proper in-order LRU list in ext4 to reclaim entries
      from extent status tree when we are under heavy memory pressure.  For
      keeping this order, a spin lock is used to protect this list.  But this
      lock burns a lot of CPU time.  We can use the following steps to trigger
      it.
      
        % cd /dev/shm
        % dd if=/dev/zero of=ext4-img bs=1M count=2k
        % mkfs.ext4 ext4-img
        % mount -t ext4 -o loop ext4-img /mnt
        % cd /mnt
        % for ((i=0;i<160;i++)); do truncate -s 64g $i; done
        % for ((i=0;i<160;i++)); do cp $i /dev/null &; done
        % perf record -a -g
        % perf report
      
      This commit tries to fix this problem.  Now a new member called
      i_touch_when is added into ext4_inode_info to record the last access
      time for an inode.  Meanwhile we never need to keep a proper in-order
      LRU list.  So this can avoid to burns some CPU time.  When we try to
      reclaim some entries from extent status tree, we use list_sort() to get
      a proper in-order list.  Then we traverse this list to discard some
      entries.  In ext4_sb_info, we use s_es_last_sorted to record the last
      time of sorting this list.  When we traverse the list, we skip the inode
      that is newer than this time, and move this inode to the tail of LRU
      list.  When the head of the list is newer than s_es_last_sorted, we will
      sort the LRU list again.
      
      In this commit, we break the loop if s_extent_cache_cnt == 0 because
      that means that all extents in extent status tree have been reclaimed.
      
      Meanwhile in this commit, ext4_es_{un}register_shrinker()'s prototype is
      changed to save a local variable in these functions.

      Rename ext4_da_writepages() to ext4_writepages() and use it for all

      ext4: use ext4_zero_partial_blocks in punch_hole · a87dd18c
      Lukas Czerner 提交于
      We're doing to get rid of ext4_discard_partial_page_buffers() since it is
      duplicating some code and also partially duplicating work of
      truncate_pagecache_range(), moreover the old implementation was much
      clearer.
      
      Now when the truncate_inode_pages_range() can handle truncating non page
      aligned regions we can use this to invalidate and zero out block aligned
      region of the punched out range and then use ext4_block_truncate_page()
      to zero the unaligned blocks on the start and end of the range. This
      will greatly simplify the punch hole code. Moreover after this commit we
      can get rid of the ext4_discard_partial_page_buffers() completely.
      
      We also introduce function ext4_prepare_punch_hole() to do come common
      operations before we attempt to do the actual punch hole on
      indirect or extent file which saves us some code duplication.

      Lukas Czerner 提交于
      This reverts commit 189e868f.
      
      This commit reintroduces the use of ext4_block_truncate_page() in ext4
      truncate operation instead of ext4_discard_partial_page_buffers().
      
      The statement in the commit description that the truncate operation only
      zero block unaligned portion of the last page is not exactly right,
      since truncate_pagecache_range() also zeroes and invalidate the unaligned
      portion of the page. Then there is no need to zero and unmap it once more
      and ext4_block_truncate_page() was doing the right job, although we
      still need to update the buffer head containing the last block, which is
      exactly what ext4_block_truncate_page() is doing.
      
      Moreover the problem described in the commit is fixed more properly with

      mm: change invalidatepage prototype to accept length · d47992f8
      Lukas Czerner 提交于
      Currently there is no way to truncate partial page where the end
      truncate point is not at the end of the page. This is because it was not
      needed and the functionality was enough for file system truncate
      operation to work properly. However more file systems now support punch
      hole feature and it can benefit from mm supporting truncating page just
      up to the certain point.
      
      Specifically, with this functionality truncate_inode_pages_range() can
      be changed so it supports truncating partial page at the end of the
      range (currently it will BUG_ON() if 'end' is not at the end of the
      page).
      
      This commit changes the invalidatepage() address space operation
      prototype to accept range to be invalidated and update all the instances
      for it.
      
      We also change the block_invalidatepage() in the same way and actually
      make a use of the new length argument implementing range invalidation.
      
      Actual file system implementations will follow except the file systems
      where the changes are really simple and should not change the behaviour
      in any way .Implementation for truncate_page_range() which will be able
      to accept page unaligned ranges will follow as well.

      ext4: introduce reserved space · 27dd4385
      Lukas Czerner 提交于
      Currently in ENOSPC condition when writing into unwritten space, or
      punching a hole, we might need to split the extent and grow extent tree.
      However since we can not allocate any new metadata blocks we'll have to
      zero out unwritten part of extent or punched out part of extent, or in
      the worst case return ENOSPC even though use actually does not allocate
      any space.
      
      Also in delalloc path we do reserve metadata and data blocks for the
      time we're going to write out, however metadata block reservation is
      very tricky especially since we expect that logical connectivity implies
      physical connectivity, however that might not be the case and hence we
      might end up allocating more metadata blocks than previously reserved.
      So in future, metadata reservation checks should be removed since we can
      not assure that we do not under reserve.
      
      And this is where reserved space comes into the picture. When mounting
      the file system we slice off a little bit of the file system space (2%
      or 4096 clusters, whichever is smaller) which can be then used for the
      cases mentioned above to prevent costly zeroout, or unexpected ENOSPC.
      
      The number of reserved clusters can be set via sysfs, however it can
      never be bigger than number of free clusters in the file system.
      
      Note that this patch fixes the failure of xfstest 274 as expected.

      Add a new ioctl, EXT4_IOC_SWAP_BOOT which swaps i_blocks and
      associated attributes (like i_blocks, i_size, i_flags, ...) from the
      specified inode with inode EXT4_BOOT_LOADER_INO (#5). This is
      typically used to store a boot loader in a secure part of the
      filesystem, where it can't be changed by a normal user by accident.
      The data blocks of the previous boot loader will be associated with
      the given inode.

      {
        int fd;
        int err;

      ext4: fix data=journal fast mount/umount hang · 2b405bfa
      Theodore Ts'o 提交于
      In data=journal mode, if we unmount the file system before a
      transaction has a chance to complete, when the journal inode is being
      evicted, we can end up calling into jbd2_log_wait_commit() for the
      last transaction, after the journalling machinery has been shut down.
      
      Arguably we should adjust ext4_should_journal_data() to return FALSE
      for the journal inode, but the only place it matters is
      ext4_evict_inode(), and so to save a bit of CPU time, and to make the
      patch much more obviously correct by inspection(tm), we'll fix it by
      explicitly not trying to waiting for a journal commit when we are
      evicting the journal inode, since it's guaranteed to never succeed in
      this case.
      
      This can be easily replicated via: 
      
           mount -t ext4 -o data=journal /dev/vdb /vdb ; umount /vdb

      ext4: fix ext4_evict_inode() racing against workqueue processing code · 1ada47d9
      Theodore Ts'o 提交于
      Commit 84c17543 (ext4: move work from io_end to inode) triggered a
      regression when running xfstest #270 when the file system is mounted
      with dioread_nolock.
      
      The problem is that after ext4_evict_inode() calls ext4_ioend_wait(),
      this guarantees that last io_end structure has been freed, but it does
      not guarantee that the workqueue structure, which was moved into the
      inode by commit 84c17543, is actually finished.  Once
      ext4_flush_completed_IO() calls ext4_free_io_end() on CPU #1, this
      will allow ext4_ioend_wait() to return on CPU #2, at which point the
      evict_inode() codepath can race against the workqueue code on CPU #1
      accessing EXT4_I(inode)->i_unwritten_work to find the next item of
      work to do.
      
      Fix this by calling cancel_work_sync() in ext4_ioend_wait(), which
      will be renamed ext4_ioend_shutdown(), since it is only used by
      ext4_evict_inode().  Also, move the call to ext4_ioend_shutdown()
      until after truncate_inode_pages() and filemap_write_and_wait() are
      called, to make sure all dirty pages have been written back and
      flushed from the page cache first.
