      xfs: kill b_file_offset · de1cbee4
      Dave Chinner 提交于
      Seeing as we pass block numbers around everywhere in the buffer
      cache now, it makes no sense to index everything by byte offset.
      Replace all the byte offset indexing with block number based
      indexing, and replace all uses of the byte offset with direct
      conversion from the block index.

      xfs: clean up buffer get/read call API · e70b73f8
      Dave Chinner 提交于
      The xfs_buf_get/read API is not consistent in the units it uses, and
      does not use appropriate or consistent units/types for the
      variables.
      
      Convert the API to use disk addresses and block counts for all
      buffer get and read calls. Use consistent naming for all the
      functions and their declarations, and convert the internal functions
      to use disk addresses and block counts to avoid need to convert them
      from one type to another and back again.
      
      Fix all the callers to use disk addresses and block counts. In many
      cases, this removes an additional conversion from the function call
      as the callers already have a block count.

      xfs: fix incorrect b_offset initialisation · ead360c5
      Dave Chinner 提交于
      Because we no longer use the page cache for buffering, there is no
      direct block number to page offset relationship anymore.
      xfs_buf_get_pages is still setting up b_offset as if there was some
      relationship, and that is leading to incorrectly setting up
      *uncached* buffers that don't overwrite b_offset once they've had
      pages allocated.
      
      For cached buffers, the first block of the buffer is always at offset
      zero into the allocated memory. This is true for sub-page sized
      buffers, as well as for multiple-page buffers.
      
      For uncached buffers, b_offset is only non-zero when we are
      associating specific memory to the buffers, and that is set
      correctly by the code setting up the buffer.
      
      Hence remove the setting of b_offset in xfs_buf_get_pages, because
      it is now always the wrong thing to do.

      xfs: check for buffer errors before waiting · 0e95f19a
      Dave Chinner 提交于
      If we call xfs_buf_iowait() on a buffer that failed dispatch due to
      an IO error, it will wait forever for an Io that does not exist.
      This is hndled in xfs_buf_read, but there is other code that calls
      xfs_buf_iowait directly that doesn't.
      
      Rather than make the call sites have to handle checking for dispatch
      errors and then checking for completion errors, make
      xfs_buf_iowait() check for dispatch errors on the buffer before
      waiting. This means we handle both dispatch and completion errors
      with one set of error handling at the caller sites.

      xfs: fix buffer lookup race on allocation failure · fe2429b0
      Dave Chinner 提交于
      When memory allocation fails to add the page array or tht epages to
      a buffer during xfs_buf_get(), the buffer is left in the cache in a
      partially initialised state. There is enough state left for the next
      lookup on that buffer to find the buffer, and for the buffer to then
      be used without finishing the initialisation.  As a result, when an
      attempt to do IO on the buffer occurs, it fails with EIO because
      there are no pages attached to the buffer.
      
      We cannot remove the buffer from the cache immediately and free it,
      because there may already be a racing lookup that is blocked on the
      buffer lock. Hence the moment we unlock the buffer to then free it,
      the other user is woken and we have a use-after-free situation.
      
      To avoid this race condition altogether, allocate the pages for the
      buffer before we insert it into the cache.  This then means that we
      don't have an allocation  failure case to deal after the buffer is
      already present in the cache, and hence avoid the problem
      altogether.  In most cases we won't have racing inserts for the same
      buffer, and so won't increase the memory pressure allocation before
      insertion may entail.

      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
      	- xfs_efd_item_push() should return XFS_ITEM_PINNED ]

      freezer: unexport refrigerator() and update try_to_freeze() slightly · a0acae0e
      Tejun Heo 提交于
      There is no reason to export two functions for entering the
      refrigerator.  Calling refrigerator() instead of try_to_freeze()
      doesn't save anything noticeable or removes any race condition.
      
      * Rename refrigerator() to __refrigerator() and make it return bool
        indicating whether it scheduled out for freezing.
      
      * Update try_to_freeze() to return bool and relay the return value of
        __refrigerator() if freezing().
      
      * Convert all refrigerator() users to try_to_freeze().
      
      * Update documentation accordingly.
      
      * While at it, add might_sleep() to try_to_freeze().

      xfs: flag all buffers as metadata · 34951f5c
      Christoph Hellwig 提交于
      Now that REQ_META bios aren't treated specially in the CFQ I/O schedule
      anymore, we can tag all buffers as metadata to make blktrace traces more
      meaningful.  Note that we use buffers also to zero out partial blocks
      in the preallocation / hole punching code, and while they operate on
      data blocks the zeros written certainly aren't data.  I think this case
      is borderline metadata enough to not bother special casing it.
