      jbd2: Avoid possible NULL dereference in jbd2_journal_begin_ordered_truncate() · 7f5aa215
      Jan Kara 提交于
      If we race with commit code setting i_transaction to NULL, we could
      possibly dereference it.  Proper locking requires the journal pointer
      (to access journal->j_list_lock), which we don't have.  So we have to
      change the prototype of the function so that filesystem passes us the
      journal pointer.  Also add a more detailed comment about why the
      function jbd2_journal_begin_ordered_truncate() does what it does and
      how it should be used.
      
      Thanks to Dan Carpenter <error27@gmail.com> for pointing to the
      suspitious code.

      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.

      ext4: Replace hackish ext4_mb_poll_new_transaction with commit callback · 3e624fc7
      Theodore Ts'o 提交于
      The multiblock allocator needs to be able to release blocks (and issue
      a blkdev discard request) when the transaction which freed those
      blocks is committed.  Previously this was done via a polling mechanism
      when blocks are allocated or freed.  A much better way of doing things
      is to create a jbd2 callback function and attaching the list of blocks
      to be freed directly to the transaction structure.

      jbd2: fix race between jbd2_journal_try_to_free_buffers() and jbd2 commit transaction · 530576bb
      Mingming Cao 提交于
      journal_try_to_free_buffers() could race with jbd commit transaction
      when the later is holding the buffer reference while waiting for the
      data buffer to flush to disk. If the caller of
      journal_try_to_free_buffers() request tries hard to release the buffers,
      it will treat the failure as error and return back to the caller. We
      have seen the directo IO failed due to this race.  Some of the caller of
      releasepage() also expecting the buffer to be dropped when passed with
      GFP_KERNEL mask to the releasepage()->journal_try_to_free_buffers().
      
      With this patch, if the caller is passing the GFP_KERNEL to indicating
      this call could wait, in case of try_to_free_buffers() failed, let's
      waiting for journal_commit_transaction() to finish commit the current
      committing transaction , then try to free those buffers again with
      journal locked.

      jbd2: fix possible journal overflow issues · 1dfc3220
      Josef Bacik 提交于
      There are several cases where the running transaction can get buffers
      added to its BJ_Metadata list which it never dirtied, which makes its
      t_nr_buffers counter end up larger than its t_outstanding_credits
      counter.
      
      This will cause issues when starting new transactions as while we are
      logging buffers we decrement t_outstanding_buffers, so when
      t_outstanding_buffers goes negative, we will report that we need less
      space in the journal than we actually need, so transactions will be
      started even though there may not be enough room for them.  In the worst
      case scenario (which admittedly is almost impossible to reproduce) this
      will result in the journal running out of space.
      
      The fix is to only refile buffers from the committing transaction to the
      running transactions BJ_Modified list when b_modified is set on that
      journal, which is the only way to be sure if the running transaction has
      modified that buffer.
      
      This patch also fixes an accounting error in journal_forget, it is
      possible that we can call journal_forget on a buffer without having
      modified it, only gotten write access to it, so instead of freeing a
      credit, we only do so if the buffer was modified.  The assert will help
      catch if this problem occurs.  Without these two patches I could hit
      this assert within minutes of running postmark, with them this issue no
      longer arises.

      jbd2: fix the way the b_modified flag is cleared · 9fc7c63a
      Josef Bacik 提交于
      Currently at the start of a journal commit we loop through all of the buffers
      on the committing transaction and clear the b_modified flag (the flag that is
      set when a transaction modifies the buffer) under the j_list_lock.
      
      The problem is that everywhere else this flag is modified only under the jbd2
      lock buffer flag, so it will race with a running transaction who could
      potentially set it, and have it unset by the committing transaction.
      
      This is also a big waste, you can have several thousands of buffers that you
      are clearing the modified flag on when you may not need to.  This patch
      removes this code and instead clears the b_modified flag upon entering
      do_get_write_access/journal_get_create_access, so if that transaction does
      indeed use the buffer then it will be accounted for properly, and if it does
      not then we know we didn't use it.
      
      That will be important for the next patch in this series.  Tested thoroughly
      by myself using postmark/iozone/bonnie++.

      [PATCH] jbd2: journal_dirty_data re-check for unmapped buffers · 9b57988d
      Eric Sandeen 提交于
      When running several fsx's and other filesystem stress tests, we found
      cases where an unmapped buffer was still being sent to submit_bh by the
      ext3 dirty data journaling code.
      
      I saw this happen in two ways, both related to another thread doing a
      truncate which would unmap the buffer in question.
      
      Either we would get into journal_dirty_data with a bh which was already
      unmapped (although journal_dirty_data_fn had checked for this earlier, the
      state was not locked at that point), or it would get unmapped in the middle
      of journal_dirty_data when we dropped locks to call sync_dirty_buffer.
      
      By re-checking for mapped state after we've acquired the bh state lock, we
      should avoid these races.  If we find a buffer which is no longer mapped,
      we essentially ignore it, because journal_unmap_buffer has already decided
      that this buffer can go away.
      
      I've also added tracepoints in these two cases, and made a couple other
      tracepoint changes that I found useful in debugging this.

      [PATCH] jbd: avoid kfree(NULL) · 304c4c84
      Andrew Morton 提交于
      There are a couple of places where JBD has to check to see whether an unneeded
      memory allocation was performed.  Usually it _was_ needed, so we end up
      calling kfree(NULL).  We can micro-optimise that by checking the pointer
      before calling kfree().
      
      Thanks to Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org> for identifying this.

      [PATCH] jbd: fix BUG in journal_commit_transaction() · 9ada7340
      Jan Kara 提交于
      Fix possible assertion failure in journal_commit_transaction() on
      jh->b_next_transaction == NULL (when we are processing BJ_Forget list and
      buffer is not jbddirty).
      
      !jbddirty buffers can be placed on BJ_Forget list for example by
      journal_forget() or by __dispose_buffer() - generally such buffer means
      that it has been freed by this transaction.
      
      Freed buffers should not be reallocated until the transaction has committed
      (that's why we have the assertion there) but they *can* be reallocated when
      the transaction has already been committed to disk and we are just
      processing the BJ_Forget list (as soon as we remove b_committed_data from
      the bitmap bh, ext3 will be able to reallocate buffers freed by the
      committing transaction).  So we have to also count with the case that the
      buffer has been reallocated and b_next_transaction has been already set.
      
      And one more subtle point: it can happen that we manage to reallocate the
      buffer and also mark it jbddirty.  Then we also add the freed buffer to the
      checkpoint list of the committing trasaction.  But that should do no harm.
      
      Non-jbddirty buffers should be filed to BJ_Reserved and not BJ_Metadata
      list.  It can actually happen that we refile such buffers during the commit
      phase when we reallocate in the running transaction blocks deleted in
      committing transaction (and that can happen if the committing transaction
      already wrote all the data and is just cleaning up BJ_Forget list).

      [PATCH] jbd: fix transaction batching · fe1dcbc4
      Andrew Morton 提交于
      Ben points out that:
      
        When writing files out using O_SYNC, jbd's 1 jiffy delay results in a
        significant drop in throughput as the disk sits idle.  The patch below
        results in a 4-5x performance improvement (from 6.5MB/s to ~24-30MB/s on my
        IDE test box) when writing out files using O_SYNC.
      
      So optimise the batching code by omitting it entirely if the process which is
      doing a sync write is the same as the one which did the most recent sync
      write.  If that's true, we're unlikely to get any other processes joining the
      transaction.
      
      (Has been in -mm for ages - it took me a long time to get on to performance
      testing it)
      
      Numbers, on write-cache-disabled IDE:
      
      /usr/bin/time -p synctest -n 10 -uf -t 1 -p 1 dir-name
      
      Unpatched:
      	40 seconds
      Patched:
      	35 seconds
      Batching disabled:
      	35 seconds
      
      This is the problematic single-process-doing-fsync case.  With multiple
      fsyncing processes the numbers are AFACIT unaltered by the patch.
      
      Aside: performance testing and instrumentation shows that the transaction
      batching almost doesn't help (testing with synctest -n 1 -uf -t 100 -p 10
      dir-name on non-writeback-caching IDE).  This is because by the time one
      process is running a synchronous commit, a bunch of other processes already
      have a transaction handle open, so they're all going to batch into the same
      transaction anyway.
      
      The batching seems to offer maybe 5-10% speedup with this workload, but I'm
      pretty sure it was more important than that when it was first developed 4-odd
      years ago...
