Create a helper function to check if a backing device requires stable page writes and, if so, performs the necessary wait. Then, make it so that all points in the memory manager that handle making pages writable use the helper function. This should provide stable page write support to most filesystems, while eliminating unnecessary waiting for devices that don't require the feature. Before this patchset, all filesystems would block, regardless of whether or not it was necessary. ext3 would wait, but still generate occasional checksum errors. The network filesystems were left to do their own thing, so they'd wait too. After this patchset, all the disk filesystems except ext3 and btrfs will wait only if the hardware requires it. ext3 (if necessary) snapshots pages instead of blocking, and btrfs provides its own bdi so the mm will never wait. Network filesystems haven't been touched, so either they provide their own stable page guarantees or they don't block at all. The blocking behavior is back to what it was before 3.0 if you don't have a disk requiring stable page writes. Here's the result of using dbench to test latency on ext2: 3.8.0-rc3: Operation Count AvgLat MaxLat ---------------------------------------- WriteX 109347 0.028 59.817 ReadX 347180 0.004 3.391 Flush 15514 29.828 287.283 Throughput 57.429 MB/sec 4 clients 4 procs max_latency=287.290 ms 3.8.0-rc3 + patches: WriteX 105556 0.029 4.273 ReadX 335004 0.005 4.112 Flush 14982 30.540 298.634 Throughput 55.4496 MB/sec 4 clients 4 procs max_latency=298.650 ms As you can see, the maximum write latency drops considerably with this patch enabled. The other filesystems (ext3/ext4/xfs/btrfs) behave similarly, but see the cover letter for those results. Signed-off-by: NDarrick J.

After tracking all extent status, we already have a extent cache in memory. Every time we want to lookup a block mapping, we can first try to lookup it in extent status tree to avoid a potential disk I/O. A new function called ext4_es_lookup_extent is defined to finish this work. When we try to lookup a block mapping, we always call ext4_map_blocks and/or ext4_da_map_blocks. So in these functions we first try to lookup a block mapping in extent status tree. A new flag EXT4_GET_BLOCKS_NO_PUT_HOLE is used in ext4_da_map_blocks in order not to put a hole into extent status tree because this hole will be converted to delayed extent in the tree immediately.

By recording the phycisal block and status, extent status tree is able to track the status of every extents. When we call _map_blocks functions to lookup an extent or create a new written/unwritten/delayed extent, this extent will be inserted into extent status tree. We don't load all extents from disk in alloc_inode() because it costs too much memory, and if a file is opened and closed frequently it will takes too much time to load all extent information. So currently when we create/lookup an extent, this extent will be inserted into extent status tree. Hence, the extent status tree may not comprehensively contain all of the extents found in the file. Here a condition we need to take care is that an extent might contains unwritten and delayed status simultaneously because an extent is delayed allocated and could be allocated by fallocate. At this time we need to keep delayed status because later we need to update delayed reservation space using it.

This commit adds two members in extent_status structure to let it record physical block and extent status. Here es_pblk is used to record both of them because physical block only has 48 bits. So extent status could be stashed into it so that we can save some memory. Now written, unwritten, delayed and hole are defined as status. Due to new member is added into extent status tree, all interfaces need to be adjusted.

The grab_cache_page_write_begin() function can potentially sleep for a long time, since it may need to do memory allocation which can block if the system is under significant memory pressure, and because it may be blocked on page writeback. If it does take a long time to grab the page, it's better that we not hold an active jbd2 handle. So grab a handle on the page first, and _then_ start the transaction handle. This commit fixes the following long transaction handle hold time: postmark-2917 [000] .... 196.435786: jbd2_handle_stats: dev 254,32 tid 570 type 2 line_no 2541 interval 311 sync 0 requested_blocks 1 dirtied_blocks 0 Signed-off-by: N"Theodore Ts'o" <tytso@mit.edu> Reviewed-by: NJan Kara <jack@suse.cz>

So we can better understand what bits of ext4 are responsible for long-running jbd2 handles, use jbd2__journal_start() so we can pass context information for logging purposes. The recommended way for finding the longer-running handles is: T=/sys/kernel/debug/tracing EVENT=$T/events/jbd2/jbd2_handle_stats echo "interval > 5" > $EVENT/filter echo 1 > $EVENT/enable ./run-my-fs-benchmark cat $T/trace > /tmp/problem-handles This will list handles that were active for longer than 20ms. Having longer-running handles is bad, because a commit started at the wrong time could stall for those 20+ milliseconds, which could delay an fsync() or an O_SYNC operation. Here is an example line from the trace file describing a handle which lived on for 311 jiffies, or over 1.2 seconds: postmark-2917 [000] .... 196.435786: jbd2_handle_stats: dev 254,32 tid 570 type 2 line_no 2541 interval 311 sync 0 requested_blocks 1 dirtied_blocks 0 Signed-off-by: N"Theodore Ts'o" <tytso@mit.edu>

So far ext4_writepage() skipped writing pages that had any delayed or unwritten buffers attached. When blocksize < pagesize this breaks data=ordered mode guarantees as we can have a page with one freshly allocated buffer whose allocation is part of the committing transaction and another buffer in the page which is delayed or unwritten. So fix this problem by calling ext4_bio_writepage() anyway. It will submit mapped buffers and leave others alone.

Also second branch of condition: if (nrblocks >= EXT4_MAX_TRANS_DATA) { } else if ((nrblocks + (b_size >> mpd->inode->i_blkbits)) > EXT4_MAX_TRANS_DATA) { } was never taken because (b_size >> mpd->inode->i_blkbits) == 1.

We don't support delayed allocation in data=journal mode. So checking for it in mpage_da_submit_io() doesn't make really sence. If we ever decide to extend delayed allocation support to data=journal mode, adding __ext4_journalled_writepage() call will be the least of problems we have to solve. Most likely we'd have to implement separate writepages call anyways because we don't have transaction credits for writing more than a single page so mapping of page buffers would have to be done differently.

This patch add supports for indirect file support punching hole. It is almost the same as ext4_ext_punch_hole. First, we invalidate all pages between this hole, and then we try to deallocate all blocks of this hole. A recursive function is used to handle deallocation of blocks. In this function, it iterates over the entries in inode's i_blocks or indirect blocks, and try to free the block for each one of them. After applying this patch, xfstest #255 will not pass w/o extent because indirect-based file doesn't support unwritten extents.

We cannot wait for transaction commit in journal_unmap_buffer() because we hold page lock which ranks below transaction start. We solve the issue by bailing out of journal_unmap_buffer() and jbd2_journal_invalidatepage() with -EBUSY. Caller is then responsible for waiting for transaction commit to finish and try invalidation again. Since the issue can happen only for page stradding i_size, it is simple enough to manually call jbd2_journal_invalidatepage() for such page from ext4_setattr(), check the return value and wait if necessary.

The calls to ext4_jbd2_file_inode() are needed to guarantee that we do not expose stale data in the data=ordered mode. However, they are not necessary because in all of the cases where we have newly allocated blocks in the delayed allocation write path, we immediately submit the dirty pages for I/O. Hence, we can avoid the overhead of adding the inode to the list of inodes whose data pages will be to be flushed out to disk completely during the next commit operation.

Commits 5e8830dc and 41c4d25f introduced a regression into v3.6-rc1 for ext4 in nodealloc mode, such that mtime updates would not take place for files modified via mmap if the page was already in the page cache. This would also affect ext3 file systems mounted using the ext4 file system driver. The problem was that ext4_page_mkwrite() had a shortcut which would avoid calling __block_page_mkwrite() under some circumstances, and the above two commit transferred the responsibility of calling file_update_time() to __block_page_mkwrite --- which woudln't get called in some circumstances. Since __block_page_mkwrite() only has three callers, block_page_mkwrite(), ext4_page_mkwrite, and nilfs_page_mkwrite(), the best way to solve this is to move the responsibility for calling file_update_time() to its caller. This problem was found via xfstests #215 with a file system mounted with -o nodelalloc.
