      xfs: optimise away log forces on timestamp updates for fdatasync · fc0561ce

      xfs: timestamp updates cause excessive fdatasync log traffic
      
      Sage Weil reported that a ceph test workload was writing to the
      log on every fdatasync during an overwrite workload. Event tracing
      showed that the only metadata modification being made was the
      timestamp updates during the write(2) syscall, but fdatasync(2)
      is supposed to ignore them. The key observation was that the
      transactions in the log all looked like this:
      
      INODE: #regs: 4   ino: 0x8b  flags: 0x45   dsize: 32
      
      And contained a flags field of 0x45 or 0x85, and had data and
      attribute forks following the inode core. This means that the
      timestamp updates were triggering dirty relogging of previously
      logged parts of the inode that hadn't yet been flushed back to
      disk.
      
      There are two parts to this problem. The first is that XFS relogs
      dirty regions in subsequent transactions, so it carries around the
      fields that have been dirtied since the last time the inode was
      written back to disk, not since the last time the inode was forced
      into the log.
      
      The second part is that on v5 filesystems, the inode change count
      update during inode dirtying also sets the XFS_ILOG_CORE flag, so
      on v5 filesystems this makes a timestamp update dirty the entire
      inode.
      
      As a result when fdatasync is run, it looks at the dirty fields in
      the inode, and sees more than just the timestamp flag, even though
      the only metadata change since the last fdatasync was just the
      timestamps. Hence we force the log on every subsequent fdatasync
      even though it is not needed.
      
      To fix this, add a new field to the inode log item that tracks
      changes since the last time fsync/fdatasync forced the log to flush
      the changes to the journal. This flag is updated when we dirty the
      inode, but we do it before updating the change count so it does not
      carry the "core dirty" flag from timestamp updates. The fields are
      zeroed when the inode is marked clean (due to writeback/freeing) or
      when an fsync/datasync forces the log. Hence if we only dirty the
      timestamps on the inode between fsync/fdatasync calls, the fdatasync
      will not trigger another log force.
      
      Over 100 runs of the test program:
      
      Ext4 baseline:
      	runtime: 1.63s +/- 0.24s
      	avg lat: 1.59ms +/- 0.24ms
      	iops: ~2000

              runtime: 2.45s +/- 0.18s
      	avg lat: 2.39ms +/- 0.18ms
      	log forces: ~400/s
      	iops: ~1000

      xfs: xfs_iflush_done checks the wrong log item callback · 52177937
      Mark Tinguely 提交于
      Commit 30136832 ("xfs: remove all the inodes on a buffer from the AIL
      in bulk") made the xfs inode flush callback more efficient by
      combining all the inode writes on the buffer and the deletions of
      the inode log item from AIL.
      
      The initial loop in this patch should be looping through all
      the log items on the buffer to see which items have
      xfs_iflush_done as their callback function. But currently,
      only the log item passed to the function has its callback
      compared to xfs_iflush_done. If the log item pointer passed to
      the function does have the xfs_iflush_done callback function,
      then all the log items on the buffer are removed from the
      li_bio_list on the buffer b_fspriv and could be removed from
      the AIL even though they may have not been written yet.
      
      This problem is masked by the fact that currently all inodes on a
      buffer will have the same calback function - either xfs_iflush_done
      or xfs_istale_done - and hence the bug cannot manifest in any way.
      Still, we need to remove the landmine so that if we add new
      callbacks in future this doesn't cause us problems.

      xfs: turn NLINK feature on by default · 263997a6
      Dave Chinner 提交于
      mkfs has turned on the XFS_SB_VERSION_NLINKBIT feature bit by
      default since November 2007. It's about time we simply made the
      kernel code turn it on by default and so always convert v1 inodes to
      v2 inodes when reading them in from disk or allocating them. This
      This removes needless version checks and modification when bumping
      link counts on inodes, and will take code out of a few common code
      paths.

      xfs: decouple inode and bmap btree header files · a4fbe6ab
      Dave Chinner 提交于
      Currently the xfs_inode.h header has a dependency on the definition
      of the BMAP btree records as the inode fork includes an array of
      xfs_bmbt_rec_host_t objects in it's definition.
      
      Move all the btree format definitions from xfs_btree.h,
      xfs_bmap_btree.h, xfs_alloc_btree.h and xfs_ialloc_btree.h to
      xfs_format.h to continue the process of centralising the on-disk
      format definitions. With this done, the xfs inode definitions are no
      longer dependent on btree header files.
      
      The enables a massive culling of unnecessary includes, with close to
      200 #include directives removed from the XFS kernel code base.

      xfs: decouple log and transaction headers · 239880ef
      Dave Chinner 提交于
      xfs_trans.h has a dependency on xfs_log.h for a couple of
      structures. Most code that does transactions doesn't need to know
      anything about the log, but this dependency means that they have to
      include xfs_log.h. Decouple the xfs_trans.h and xfs_log.h header
      files and clean up the includes to be in dependency order.
      
      In doing this, remove the direct include of xfs_trans_reserve.h from
      xfs_trans.h so that we remove the dependency between xfs_trans.h and
      xfs_mount.h. Hence the xfs_trans.h include can be moved to the
      indicate the actual dependencies other header files have on it.
      
      Note that these are kernel only header files, so this does not
      translate to any userspace changes at all.

      xfs: add version 3 inode format with CRCs · 93848a99
      Christoph Hellwig 提交于
      Add a new inode version with a larger core.  The primary objective is
      to allow for a crc of the inode, and location information (uuid and ino)
      to verify it was written in the right place.  We also extend it by:
      
      	a creation time (for Samba);
      	a changecount (for NFSv4);
      	a flush sequence (in LSN format for recovery);
      	an additional inode flags field; and
      	some additional padding.
      
      These additional fields are not implemented yet, but already laid
      out in the structure.
      
      [dchinner@redhat.com] Added LSN and flags field, some factoring and rework to
      capture all the necessary information in the crc calculation.

      xfs: on-stack delayed write buffer lists · 43ff2122
      Christoph Hellwig 提交于
      Queue delwri buffers on a local on-stack list instead of a per-buftarg one,
      and write back the buffers per-process instead of by waking up xfsbufd.
      
      This is now easily doable given that we have very few places left that write
      delwri buffers:
      
       - log recovery:
      	Only done at mount time, and already forcing out the buffers
      	synchronously using xfs_flush_buftarg
      
       - quotacheck:
      	Same story.
      
       - dquot reclaim:
      	Writes out dirty dquots on the LRU under memory pressure.  We might
      	want to look into doing more of this via xfsaild, but it's already
      	more optimal than the synchronous inode reclaim that writes each
      	buffer synchronously.
      
       - xfsaild:
      	This is the main beneficiary of the change.  By keeping a local list
      	of buffers to write we reduce latency of writing out buffers, and
      	more importably we can remove all the delwri list promotions which
      	were hitting the buffer cache hard under sustained metadata loads.
      
      The implementation is very straight forward - xfs_buf_delwri_queue now gets
      a new list_head pointer that it adds the delwri buffers to, and all callers
      need to eventually submit the list using xfs_buf_delwi_submit or
      xfs_buf_delwi_submit_nowait.  Buffers that already are on a delwri list are
      skipped in xfs_buf_delwri_queue, assuming they already are on another delwri
      list.  The biggest change to pass down the buffer list was done to the AIL
      pushing. Now that we operate on buffers the trylock, push and pushbuf log
      item methods are merged into a single push routine, which tries to lock the
      item, and if possible add the buffer that needs writeback to the buffer list.
      This leads to much simpler code than the previous split but requires the
      individual IOP_PUSH instances to unlock and reacquire the AIL around calls
      to blocking routines.
      
      Given that xfsailds now also handle writing out buffers, the conditions for
      log forcing and the sleep times needed some small changes.  The most
      important one is that we consider an AIL busy as long we still have buffers
      to push, and the other one is that we do increment the pushed LSN for
      buffers that are under flushing at this moment, but still count them towards
      the stuck items for restart purposes.  Without this we could hammer on stuck
      items without ever forcing the log and not make progress under heavy random
      delete workloads on fast flash storage devices.
      
      [ Dave Chinner:
      	- rebase on previous patches.
      	- improved comments for XBF_DELWRI_Q handling
      	- fix XBF_ASYNC handling in queue submission (test 106 failure)
      	- rename delwri submit function buffer list parameters for clarity
