Add support to the core direct-io code to defer AIO completions to user context using a workqueue. This replaces opencoded and less efficient code in XFS and ext4 (we save a memory allocation for each direct IO) and will be needed to properly support O_(D)SYNC for AIO. The communication between the filesystem and the direct I/O code requires a new buffer head flag, which is a bit ugly but not avoidable until the direct I/O code stops abusing the buffer_head structure for communicating with the filesystems. Currently this creates a per-superblock unbound workqueue for these completions, which is taken from an earlier patch by Jan Kara. I'm not really convinced about this use and would prefer a "normal" global workqueue with a high concurrency limit, but this needs further discussion. JK: Fixed ext4 part, dynamic allocation of the workqueue. Signed-off-by: NChristoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de> Signed-off-by: NJan Kara <jack@suse.cz> Signed-off-by: NAl Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>

If there are a lot of outstanding buffered IOs when a device is taken offline (due to hardware errors etc), ext4_end_bio prints out a message for each failed logical block. While this is desirable, we see thousands of such lines being printed out before the serial console gets overwhelmed, causing ext4_end_bio() wait for the printk to complete. This in itself isn't a disaster, except for the detail that this function is being called with the queue lock held. This causes any other function in the block layer to spin on its spin_lock_irqsave while the serial console is draining. If NMI watchdog is enabled on this machine then it eventually comes along and shoots the machine in the head. The end result is that losing any one disk causes the machine to go down. This patch rate limits the printk to bandaid around the problem.

The following race can lead to ext4_evict_inode() seeing i_ioend_count > 0 and thus triggering a sanity check warning: CPU1 CPU2 ext4_end_bio() ext4_evict_inode() ext4_finish_bio() end_page_writeback(); truncate_inode_pages() evict page WARN_ON(i_ioend_count > 0); ext4_put_io_end_defer() ext4_release_io_end() dec i_ioend_count This is possible use-after-free bug since we decrement i_ioend_count in possibly released inode. Since i_ioend_count is used only for sanity checks one possible solution would be to just remove it but for now I'd like to keep those sanity checks to help debugging the new ext4 writeback code. This patch changes ext4_end_bio() to call ext4_put_io_end_defer() before ext4_finish_bio() in the shortcut case when unwritten extent conversion isn't needed. In that case we don't need the io_end so we are safe to drop it early.

Since PageWriteback bit is now cleared after extents are converted from unwritten to written ones, we have full exclusion of writeback path from truncate (truncate_inode_pages() waits for PageWriteback bits to get cleared on all invalidated pages).

Currently PageWriteback bit gets cleared from put_io_page() called from ext4_end_bio(). This is somewhat inconvenient as extent tree is not fully updated at that time (unwritten extents are not marked as written) so we cannot read the data back yet. This design was dictated by lock ordering as we cannot start a transaction while PageWriteback bit is set (we could easily deadlock with ext4_da_writepages()). But now that we use transaction reservation for extent conversion, locking issues are solved and we can move PageWriteback bit clearing after extent conversion is done. As a result we can remove wait for unwritten extent conversion from ext4_sync_file() because it already implicitely happens through wait_on_page_writeback(). We implement deferring of PageWriteback clearing by queueing completed bios to appropriate io_end and processing all the pages when io_end is going to be freed instead of at the moment ext4_io_end() is called.

There are two issues with current writeback path in ext4. For one we don't necessarily map complete pages when blocksize < pagesize and thus needn't do any writeback in one iteration. We always map some blocks though so we will eventually finish mapping the page. Just if writeback races with other operations on the file, forward progress is not really guaranteed. The second problem is that current code structure makes it hard to associate all the bios to some range of pages with one io_end structure so that unwritten extents can be converted after all the bios are finished. This will be especially difficult later when io_end will be associated with reserved transaction handle. We restructure the writeback path to a relatively simple loop which first prepares extent of pages, then maps one or more extents so that no page is partially mapped, and once page is fully mapped it is submitted for IO. We keep all the mapping and IO submission information in mpage_da_data structure to somewhat reduce stack usage. Resulting code is somewhat shorter than the old one and hopefully also easier to read.

So far ext4_bio_write_page() attached all the pages to ext4_io_end structure. This makes that structure pretty heavy (1 KB for pointers + 16 bytes per page attached to the bio). Also later we would like to share ext4_io_end structure among several bios in case IO to a single extent needs to be split among several bios and pointing to pages from ext4_io_end makes this complex. We remove page pointers from ext4_io_end and use pointers from bio itself instead. This isn't as easy when blocksize < pagesize because then we can have several bios in flight for a single page and we have to be careful when to call end_page_writeback(). However this is a known problem already solved by block_write_full_page() / end_buffer_async_write() so we mimic its behavior here. We mark buffers going to disk with BH_Async_Write flag and in ext4_bio_end_io() we check whether there are any buffers with BH_Async_Write flag left. If there are not, we can call end_page_writeback().

Commit 84c17543 (ext4: move work from io_end to inode) triggered a regression when running xfstest #270 when the file system is mounted with dioread_nolock. The problem is that after ext4_evict_inode() calls ext4_ioend_wait(), this guarantees that last io_end structure has been freed, but it does not guarantee that the workqueue structure, which was moved into the inode by commit 84c17543, is actually finished. Once ext4_flush_completed_IO() calls ext4_free_io_end() on CPU #1, this will allow ext4_ioend_wait() to return on CPU #2, at which point the evict_inode() codepath can race against the workqueue code on CPU #1 accessing EXT4_I(inode)->i_unwritten_work to find the next item of work to do. Fix this by calling cancel_work_sync() in ext4_ioend_wait(), which will be renamed ext4_ioend_shutdown(), since it is only used by ext4_evict_inode(). Also, move the call to ext4_ioend_shutdown() until after truncate_inode_pages() and filemap_write_and_wait() are called, to make sure all dirty pages have been written back and flushed from the page cache first.

Previously, ext4_extents.h was being included at the end of ext4.h, which was bad for a number of reasons: (a) it was not being included in the expected place, and (b) it caused the header to be included multiple times. There were #ifdef's to prevent this from causing any problems, but it still was unnecessary. By moving the function declarations that were in ext4_extents.h to ext4.h, which is standard practice for where the function declarations for the rest of ext4.h can be found, we can remove ext4_extents.h from being included in ext4.h at all, and then we can only include ext4_extents.h where it is needed in ext4's source files. It should be possible to move a few more things into ext4.h, and further reduce the number of source files that need to #include ext4_extents.h, but that's a cleanup for another day.

Current unwritten extent conversion state-machine is very fuzzy. - For unknown reason it performs conversion under i_mutex. What for? My diagnosis: We already protect extent tree with i_data_sem, truncate and punch_hole should wait for DIO, so the only data we have to protect is end_io->flags modification, but only flush_completed_IO and end_io_work modified this flags and we can serialize them via i_completed_io_lock. Currently all these games with mutex_trylock result in the following deadlock truncate: kworker: ext4_setattr ext4_end_io_work mutex_lock(i_mutex) inode_dio_wait(inode) ->BLOCK DEADLOCK<- mutex_trylock() inode_dio_done() #TEST_CASE1_BEGIN MNT=/mnt_scrach unlink $MNT/file fallocate -l $((1024*1024*1024)) $MNT/file aio-stress -I 100000 -O -s 100m -n -t 1 -c 10 -o 2 -o 3 $MNT/file sleep 2 truncate -s 0 $MNT/file #TEST_CASE1_END Or use 286's xfstests https://github.com/dmonakhov/xfstests/blob/devel/286 This patch makes state machine simple and clean: (1) xxx_end_io schedule final extent conversion simply by calling ext4_add_complete_io(), which append it to ei->i_completed_io_list NOTE1: because of (2A) work should be queued only if ->i_completed_io_list was empty, otherwise the work is scheduled already. (2) ext4_flush_completed_IO is responsible for handling all pending end_io from ei->i_completed_io_list Flushing sequence consists of following stages: A) LOCKED: Atomically drain completed_io_list to local_list B) Perform extents conversion C) LOCKED: move converted io's to to_free list for final deletion This logic depends on context which we was called from. D) Final end_io context destruction NOTE1: i_mutex is no longer required because end_io->flags modification is protected by ei->ext4_complete_io_lock Full list of changes: - Move all completion end_io related routines to page-io.c in order to improve logic locality - Move open coded logic from various xx_end_xx routines to ext4_add_complete_io() - remove EXT4_IO_END_FSYNC - Improve SMP scalability by removing useless i_mutex which does not protect io->flags anymore. - Reduce lock contention on i_completed_io_lock by optimizing list walk. - Rename ext4_end_io_nolock to end4_end_io and make it static - Check flush completion status to ext4_ext_punch_hole(). Because it is not good idea to punch blocks from corrupted inode. Changes since V3 (in request to Jan's comments): Fall back to active flush_completed_IO() approach in order to prevent performance issues with nolocked DIO reads. Changes since V2: Fix use-after-free caused by race truncate vs end_io_work Signed-off-by: NDmitry Monakhov <dmonakhov@openvz.org> Signed-off-by: N"Theodore Ts'o" <tytso@mit.edu>

ext4_set_io_unwritten_flag() will increment i_unwritten counter, so once we mark end_io with EXT4_END_IO_UNWRITTEN we have to revert it back on error path. - add missed error checks to prevent counter leakage - ext4_end_io_nolock() will clear EXT4_END_IO_UNWRITTEN flag to signal that conversion finished. - add BUG_ON to ext4_free_end_io() to prevent similar leakage in future. Visible effect of this bug is that unaligned aio_stress may deadlock Reviewed-by: NJan Kara <jack@suse.cz> Signed-off-by: NDmitry Monakhov <dmonakhov@openvz.org> Signed-off-by: N"Theodore Ts'o" <tytso@mit.edu>

This reverts commit b43d17f3. Dave Jones reports that it causes lockups on his laptop, and his debug output showed a lot of processes hung waiting for page_writeback (or more commonly - processes hung waiting for a lock that was held during that writeback wait). The page_writeback hint made Ted suggest that Dave look at this commit, and Dave verified that reverting it makes his problems go away. Ted says: "That commit fixes a race which is seen when you write into fallocated (and hence uninitialized) disk blocks under *very* heavy memory pressure. Furthermore, although theoretically it could trigger under normal direct I/O writes, it only seems to trigger if you are issuing a huge number of AIO writes, such that a just-written page can get evicted from memory, and then read back into memory, before the workqueue has a chance to update the extent tree. This race has been around for a little over a year, and no one noticed until two months ago; it only happens under fairly exotic conditions, and in fact even after trying very hard to create a simple repro under lab conditions, we could only reproduce the problem and confirm the fix on production servers running MySQL on very fast PCIe-attached flash devices. Given that Dave was able to hit this problem pretty quickly, if we confirm that this commit is at fault, the only reasonable thing to do is to revert it IMO."

We can clear PageWriteback on each page when the IO completes, but we can't release the references on the page until we convert any uninitialized extents. Without this patch, the use of the dioread_nolock mount option can break buffered writes, because extents may not be converted by the time a subsequent buffered read comes in; if the page is not in the page cache, a read will return zeros if the extent is still uninitialized. I tested this with a (temporary) patch that adds a call to msleep(1000) at the start of ext4_end_io_work(), to delay processing of each DIO-unwritten work queue item. With this msleep(), a simple workload of fallocate write fadvise read will fail without this patch, succeeds with it.

The following command line will leave the aio-stress process unkillable on an ext4 file system (in my case, mounted on /mnt/test): aio-stress -t 20 -s 10 -O -S -o 2 -I 1000 /mnt/test/aiostress.3561.4 /mnt/test/aiostress.3561.4.20 /mnt/test/aiostress.3561.4.19 /mnt/test/aiostress.3561.4.18 /mnt/test/aiostress.3561.4.17 /mnt/test/aiostress.3561.4.16 /mnt/test/aiostress.3561.4.15 /mnt/test/aiostress.3561.4.14 /mnt/test/aiostress.3561.4.13 /mnt/test/aiostress.3561.4.12 /mnt/test/aiostress.3561.4.11 /mnt/test/aiostress.3561.4.10 /mnt/test/aiostress.3561.4.9 /mnt/test/aiostress.3561.4.8 /mnt/test/aiostress.3561.4.7 /mnt/test/aiostress.3561.4.6 /mnt/test/aiostress.3561.4.5 /mnt/test/aiostress.3561.4.4 /mnt/test/aiostress.3561.4.3 /mnt/test/aiostress.3561.4.2 This is using the aio-stress program from the xfstests test suite. That particular command line tells aio-stress to do random writes to 20 files from 20 threads (one thread per file). The files are NOT preallocated, so you will get writes to random offsets within the file, thus creating holes and extending i_size. It also opens the file with O_DIRECT and O_SYNC. On to the problem. When an I/O requires unwritten extent conversion, it is queued onto the completed_io_list for the ext4 inode. Two code paths will pull work items from this list. The first is the ext4_end_io_work routine, and the second is ext4_flush_completed_IO, which is called via the fsync path (and O_SYNC handling, as well). There are two issues I've found in these code paths. First, if the fsync path beats the work routine to a particular I/O, the work routine will free the io_end structure! It does not take into account the fact that the io_end may still be in use by the fsync path. I've fixed this issue by adding yet another IO_END flag, indicating that the io_end is being processed by the fsync path. The second problem is that the work routine will make an assignment to io->flag outside of the lock. I have witnessed this result in a hang at umount. Moving the flag setting inside the lock resolved that problem. The problem was introduced by commit b82e384c ("ext4: optimize locking for end_io extent conversion"), which first appeared in 3.2. As such, the fix should be backported to that release (probably along with the unwritten extent conversion race fix).

The following comment in ext4_end_io_dio caught my attention: /* XXX: probably should move into the real I/O completion handler */ inode_dio_done(inode); The truncate code takes i_mutex, then calls inode_dio_wait. Because the ext4 code path above will end up dropping the mutex before it is reacquired by the worker thread that does the extent conversion, it seems to me that the truncate can happen out of order. Jan Kara mentioned that this might result in error messages in the system logs, but that should be the extent of the "damage." The fix is pretty straight-forward: don't call inode_dio_done until the extent conversion is complete.

Delete any instances of include module.h that were not strictly required. In the case of ext2, the declaration of MODULE_LICENSE etc. were in inode.c but the module_init/exit were in super.c, so relocate the MODULE_LICENCE/AUTHOR block to super.c which makes it consistent with ext3 and ext4 at the same time.

EXT4_IO_END_UNWRITTEN flag set and the increase of i_aiodio_unwritten should be done simultaneously since ext4_end_io_nolock always clear the flag and decrease the counter in the same time. We have found some bugs that the flag is set while leaving i_aiodio_unwritten unchanged(commit 32c80b32). So this patch just tries to create a helper function to wrap them to avoid any future bug. The idea is inspired by Eric. Cc: Eric Sandeen <sandeen@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: NTao Ma <boyu.mt@taobao.com> Signed-off-by: N"Theodore Ts'o" <tytso@mit.edu>
