When an ext4 fs is bogged down by a lot of metadata IOs (in the reported case, it was deletion of millions of files, but any massive amount of journal writes would do), after the journal is filled up, tasks which try to access the filesystem and aren't currently performing the journal writes end up waiting in __jbd2_log_wait_for_space() for journal->j_checkpoint_mutex. Because those mutex sleeps aren't marked as iowait, this condition can lead to misleadingly low iowait and /proc/stat:procs_blocked. While iowait propagation is far from strict, this condition can be triggered fairly easily and annotating these sleeps correctly helps initial diagnosis quite a bit. Use the new mutex_lock_io() for journal->j_checkpoint_mutex so that these sleeps are properly marked as iowait.

Currently when filesystem needs to make sure data is on permanent storage before committing a transaction it adds inode to transaction's inode list. During transaction commit, jbd2 writes back all dirty buffers that have allocated underlying blocks and waits for the IO to finish. However when doing writeback for delayed allocated data, we allocate blocks and immediately submit the data. Thus asking jbd2 to write dirty pages just unnecessarily adds more work to jbd2 possibly writing back other redirtied blocks. Add support to jbd2 to allow filesystem to ask jbd2 to only wait for outstanding data writes before committing a transaction and thus avoid unnecessary writes.

PAGE_CACHE_{SIZE,SHIFT,MASK,ALIGN} macros were introduced *long* time ago with promise that one day it will be possible to implement page cache with bigger chunks than PAGE_SIZE. This promise never materialized. And unlikely will. We have many places where PAGE_CACHE_SIZE assumed to be equal to PAGE_SIZE. And it's constant source of confusion on whether PAGE_CACHE_* or PAGE_* constant should be used in a particular case, especially on the border between fs and mm. Global switching to PAGE_CACHE_SIZE != PAGE_SIZE would cause to much breakage to be doable. Let's stop pretending that pages in page cache are special. They are not. The changes are pretty straight-forward: - <foo> << (PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT - PAGE_SHIFT) -> <foo>; - <foo> >> (PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT - PAGE_SHIFT) -> <foo>; - PAGE_CACHE_{SIZE,SHIFT,MASK,ALIGN} -> PAGE_{SIZE,SHIFT,MASK,ALIGN}; - page_cache_get() -> get_page(); - page_cache_release() -> put_page(); This patch contains automated changes generated with coccinelle using script below. For some reason, coccinelle doesn't patch header files. I've called spatch for them manually. The only adjustment after coccinelle is revert of changes to PAGE_CAHCE_ALIGN definition: we are going to drop it later. There are few places in the code where coccinelle didn't reach. I'll fix them manually in a separate patch. Comments and documentation also will be addressed with the separate patch. virtual patch @@ expression E; @@ - E << (PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT - PAGE_SHIFT) + E @@ expression E; @@ - E >> (PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT - PAGE_SHIFT) + E @@ @@ - PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT + PAGE_SHIFT @@ @@ - PAGE_CACHE_SIZE + PAGE_SIZE @@ @@ - PAGE_CACHE_MASK + PAGE_MASK @@ expression E; @@ - PAGE_CACHE_ALIGN(E) + PAGE_ALIGN(E) @@ expression E; @@ - page_cache_get(E) + get_page(E) @@ expression E; @@ - page_cache_release(E) + put_page(E) Signed-off-by: NKirill A.

That makes logic in jbd2_log_do_checkpoint() bail out which is fine, except that jbd2_journal_destroy() expects jbd2_log_do_checkpoint() to always make a progress in cleaning the journal.

It turns out that there are some serious problems with the on-disk format of journal checksum v2. The foremost is that the function to calculate descriptor tag size returns sizes that are too big. This causes alignment issues on some architectures and is compounded by the fact that some parts of jbd2 use the structure size (incorrectly) to determine the presence of a 64bit journal instead of checking the feature flags. Therefore, introduce journal checksum v3, which enlarges the descriptor block tag format to allow for full 32-bit checksums of journal blocks, fix the journal tag function to return the correct sizes, and fix the jbd2 recovery code to use feature flags to determine 64bitness. Add a few function helpers so we don't have to open-code quite so many pieces. Switching to a 16-byte block size was found to increase journal size overhead by a maximum of 0.1%, to convert a 32-bit journal with no checksumming to a 32-bit journal with checksum v3 enabled.

In some cases we cannot start a transaction because of locking constraints and passing started transaction into those places is not handy either because we could block transaction commit for too long. Transaction reservation is designed to solve these issues. It reserves a handle with given number of credits in the journal and the handle can be later attached to the running transaction without blocking on commit or checkpointing. Reserved handles do not block transaction commit in any way, they only reduce maximum size of the running transaction (because we have to always be prepared to accomodate request for attaching reserved handle).

Currently when we add a buffer to a transaction, we wait until the buffer is removed from BJ_Shadow list (so that we prevent any changes to the buffer that is just written to the journal). This can take unnecessarily long as a lot happens between the time the buffer is submitted to the journal and the time when we remove the buffer from BJ_Shadow list. (e.g. We wait for all data buffers in the transaction, we issue a cache flush, etc.) Also this creates a dependency of do_get_write_access() on transaction commit (namely waiting for data IO to complete) which we want to avoid when implementing transaction reservation. So we modify commit code to set new BH_Shadow flag when temporary shadowing buffer is created and we clear that flag once IO on that buffer is complete. This allows do_get_write_access() to wait only for BH_Shadow bit and thus removes the dependency on data IO completion.

When writing metadata to the journal, we create temporary buffer heads for that task. We also attach journal heads to these buffer heads but the only purpose of the journal heads is to keep buffers linked in transaction's BJ_IO list. We remove the need for journal heads by reusing buffer_head's b_assoc_buffers list for that purpose. Also since BJ_IO list is just a temporary list for transaction commit, we use a private list in jbd2_journal_commit_transaction() for that thus removing BJ_IO list from transaction completely.

Track the delay between when we first request that the commit begin and when it actually begins, so we can see how much of a gap exists. In theory, this should just be the remaining scheduling quantuum of the thread which requested the commit (assuming it was not a synchronous operation which triggered the commit request) plus scheduling overhead; however, it's possible that real time processes might get in the way of letting the kjournald thread from executing.

ext4 users of data=journal mode with blocksize < pagesize were occasionally hitting assertion failure in jbd2_journal_commit_transaction() checking whether the transaction has at least as many credits reserved as buffers attached. The core of the problem is that when a file gets truncated, buffers that still need checkpointing or that are attached to the committing transaction are left with buffer_mapped set. When this happens to buffers beyond i_size attached to a page stradding i_size, subsequent write extending the file will see these buffers and as they are mapped (but underlying blocks were freed) things go awry from here. The assertion failure just coincidentally (and in this case luckily as we would start corrupting filesystem) triggers due to journal_head not being properly cleaned up as well. We fix the problem by unmapping buffers if possible (in lots of cases we just need a buffer attached to a transaction as a place holder but it must not be written out anyway). And in one case, we just have to bite the bullet and wait for transaction commit to finish. CC: Josef Bacik <jbacik@fusionio.com> Signed-off-by: NJan Kara <jack@suse.cz>

Normally, we have to issue a cache flush before we can update journal tail in journal superblock, effectively wiping out old transactions from the journal. So use the fact that during transaction commit we issue cache flush anyway and opportunistically push journal tail as far as we can. Since update of journal superblock is still costly (we have to use WRITE_FUA), we update log tail only if we can free significant amount of space.

When we reach jbd2_cleanup_journal_tail(), there is no guarantee that checkpointed buffers are on a stable storage - especially if buffers were written out by jbd2_log_do_checkpoint(), they are likely to be only in disk's caches. Thus when we update journal superblock effectively removing old transaction from journal, this write of superblock can get to stable storage before those checkpointed buffers which can result in filesystem corruption after a crash. Thus we must unconditionally issue a cache flush before we update journal superblock in these cases. A similar problem can also occur if journal superblock is written only in disk's caches, other transaction starts reusing space of the transaction cleaned from the log and power failure happens. Subsequent journal replay would still try to replay the old transaction but some of it's blocks may be already overwritten by the new transaction. For this reason we must use WRITE_FUA when updating log tail and we must first write new log tail to disk and update in-memory information only after that.
