      jbd2: clear revoked flag on buffers before a new transaction started · 1ba37268
      Yongqiang Yang 提交于
      Currently, we clear revoked flag only when a block is reused.  However,
      this can tigger a false journal error.  Consider a situation when a block
      is used as a meta block and is deleted(revoked) in ordered mode, then the
      block is allocated as a data block to a file.  At this moment, user changes
      the file's journal mode from ordered to journaled and truncates the file.
      The block will be considered re-revoked by journal because it has revoked
      flag still pending from the last transaction and an assertion triggers.
      
      We fix the problem by keeping the revoked status more uptodate - we clear
      revoked flag when switching revoke tables to reflect there is no revoked
      buffers in current transaction any more.

      jbd2: Fix oops in jbd2_journal_remove_journal_head() · de1b7941
      Jan Kara 提交于
      jbd2_journal_remove_journal_head() can oops when trying to access
      journal_head returned by bh2jh(). This is caused for example by the
      following race:
      
      	TASK1					TASK2
        jbd2_journal_commit_transaction()
          ...
          processing t_forget list
            __jbd2_journal_refile_buffer(jh);
            if (!jh->b_transaction) {
              jbd_unlock_bh_state(bh);
      					jbd2_journal_try_to_free_buffers()
      					  jbd2_journal_grab_journal_head(bh)
      					  jbd_lock_bh_state(bh)
      					  __journal_try_to_free_buffer()
      					  jbd2_journal_put_journal_head(jh)
              jbd2_journal_remove_journal_head(bh);
      
      jbd2_journal_put_journal_head() in TASK2 sees that b_jcount == 0 and
      buffer is not part of any transaction and thus frees journal_head
      before TASK1 gets to doing so. Note that even buffer_head can be
      released by try_to_free_buffers() after
      jbd2_journal_put_journal_head() which adds even larger opportunity for
      oops (but I didn't see this happen in reality).
      
      Fix the problem by making transactions hold their own journal_head
      reference (in b_jcount). That way we don't have to remove journal_head
      explicitely via jbd2_journal_remove_journal_head() and instead just
      remove journal_head when b_jcount drops to zero. The result of this is
      that [__]jbd2_journal_refile_buffer(),
      [__]jbd2_journal_unfile_buffer(), and
      __jdb2_journal_remove_checkpoint() can free journal_head which needs
      modification of a few callers. Also we have to be careful because once
      journal_head is removed, buffer_head might be freed as well. So we
      have to get our own buffer_head reference where it matters.

      jbd2: fix sending of data flush on journal commit · 81be12c8
      Jan Kara 提交于
      
      In data=ordered mode, it's theoretically possible (however rare) that
      an inode is filed to transaction's t_inode_list and a flusher thread
      writes all the data and inode is reclaimed before the transaction
      starts to commit.  In such a case, we could erroneously omit sending a
      flush to file system device when it is different from the journal
      device (because data can still be in disk cache only).
      
      Fix the problem by setting a flag in a transaction when some inode is added
      to it and then send disk flush in the commit code when the flag is set.

      jbd2: fix potential memory leak on transaction commit · 6cba611e
      Zhang Huan 提交于
      There is potential memory leak of journal head in function
      jbd2_journal_commit_transaction. The problem is that JBD2 will not
      reclaim the journal head of commit record if error occurs or journal
      is abotred.
      
      I use the following script to reproduce this issue, on a RHEL6
      system. I found it very easy to reproduce with async commit enabled.
      
      mount /dev/sdb /mnt -o journal_checksum,journal_async_commit
      touch /mnt/xxx
      echo offline > /sys/block/sdb/device/state
      sync
      umount /mnt
      rmmod ext4
      rmmod jbd2
      
      Removal of the jbd2 module will make slab complaining that
      "cache `jbd2_journal_head': can't free all objects".

      jbd2: Fix I/O hang in jbd2_journal_release_jbd_inode · 39e3ac25
      Brian King 提交于
      This fixes a hang seen in jbd2_journal_release_jbd_inode
      on a lot of Power 6 systems running with ext4. When we get
      in the hung state, all I/O to the disk in question gets blocked
      where we stay indefinitely. Looking at the task list, I can see
      we are stuck in jbd2_journal_release_jbd_inode waiting on a
      wake up. I added some debug code to detect this scenario and
      dump additional data if we were stuck in jbd2_journal_release_jbd_inode
      for longer than 30 minutes. When it hit, I was able to see that
      i_flags was 0, suggesting we missed the wake up.
      
      This patch changes i_flags to be an unsigned long, uses bit operators
      to access it, and adds barriers around the accesses. Prior to applying
      this patch, we were regularly hitting this hang on numerous systems
      in our test environment. After applying the patch, the hangs no longer
      occur.

      cfq: improve fsync performance for small files · 749ef9f8
      Corrado Zoccolo 提交于
      Fsync performance for small files achieved by cfq on high-end disks is
      lower than what deadline can achieve, due to idling introduced between
      the sync write happening in process context and the journal commit.
      
      Moreover, when competing with a sequential reader, a process writing
      small files and fsync-ing them is starved.
      
      This patch fixes the two problems by:
      - marking journal commits as WRITE_SYNC, so that they get the REQ_NOIDLE
        flag set,
      - force all queues that have REQ_NOIDLE requests to be put in the noidle
        tree.
      
      Having the queue associated to the fsync-ing process and the one associated
       to journal commits in the noidle tree allows:
      - switching between them without idling,
      - fairness vs. competing idling queues, since they will be serviced only
        after the noidle tree expires its slice.

      block: remove BLKDEV_IFL_WAIT · dd3932ed
      Christoph Hellwig 提交于
      All the blkdev_issue_* helpers can only sanely be used for synchronous

      to set up a bio by itself with a completion callback to move the asynchronous
      state machine ahead.  So drop the BLKDEV_IFL_WAIT flag that is always
      specified when calling blkdev_issue_* and also remove the now unused flags
      argument to blkdev_issue_flush and blkdev_issue_zeroout.  For
      blkdev_issue_discard we need to keep it for the secure discard flag, which
      gains a more descriptive name and loses the bitops vs flag confusion.

      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.

      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.
