      writeback: reorganize [__]wb_update_bandwidth() · 8a731799
      Tejun Heo 提交于
      __wb_update_bandwidth() is called from two places -
      fs/fs-writeback.c::balance_dirty_pages() and
      mm/page-writeback.c::wb_writeback().  The latter updates only the
      write bandwidth while the former also deals with the dirty ratelimit.
      The two callsites are distinguished by whether @thresh parameter is
      zero or not, which is cryptic.  In addition, the two files define
      their own different versions of wb_update_bandwidth() on top of
      __wb_update_bandwidth(), which is confusing to say the least.  This
      patch cleans up [__]wb_update_bandwidth() in the following ways.
      
      * __wb_update_bandwidth() now takes explicit @update_ratelimit
        parameter to gate dirty ratelimit handling.
      
      * mm/page-writeback.c::wb_update_bandwidth() is flattened into its
        caller - balance_dirty_pages().
      
      * fs/fs-writeback.c::wb_update_bandwidth() is moved to
        mm/page-writeback.c and __wb_update_bandwidth() is made static.
      
      * While at it, add a lockdep assertion to __wb_update_bandwidth().
      
      Except for the lockdep addition, this is pure reorganization and
      doesn't introduce any behavioral changes.

      writeback: clean up wb_dirty_limit() · 0d960a38
      Tejun Heo 提交于
      The function name wb_dirty_limit(), its argument @dirty and the local
      variable @wb_dirty are mortally confusing given that the function
      calculates per-wb threshold value not dirty pages, especially given
      that @dirty and @wb_dirty are used elsewhere for dirty pages.
      
      Let's rename the function to wb_calc_thresh() and wb_dirty to
      wb_thresh.

      writeback: make bdi->min/max_ratio handling cgroup writeback aware · 693108a8
      Tejun Heo 提交于
      bdi->min/max_ratio are user-configurable per-bdi knobs which regulate
      dirty limit of each bdi.  For cgroup writeback, they need to be
      further distributed across wb's (bdi_writeback's) belonging to the
      configured bdi.

      writeback: make bdi_has_dirty_io() take multiple bdi_writeback's into account · 95a46c65
      Tejun Heo 提交于
      bdi_has_dirty_io() used to only reflect whether the root wb
      (bdi_writeback) has dirty inodes.  For cgroup writeback support, it
      needs to take all active wb's into account.  If any wb on the bdi has
      dirty inodes, bdi_has_dirty_io() should return true.
      
      To achieve that, as inode_wb_list_{move|del}_locked() now keep track
      of the dirty state transition of each wb, the number of dirty wbs can
      be counted in the bdi; however, bdi is already aggregating
      wb->avg_write_bandwidth which can easily be guaranteed to be > 0 when
      there are any dirty inodes by ensuring wb->avg_write_bandwidth can't
      dip below 1.  bdi_has_dirty_io() can simply test whether
      bdi->tot_write_bandwidth is zero or not.
      
      While this bumps the value of wb->avg_write_bandwidth to one when it
      used to be zero, this shouldn't cause any meaningful behavior
      difference.
      
      bdi_has_dirty_io() is made an inline function which tests whether
      ->tot_write_bandwidth is non-zero.  Also, WARN_ON_ONCE()'s on its
      value are added to inode_wb_list_{move|del}_locked().

      writeback: make backing_dev_info host cgroup-specific bdi_writebacks · 52ebea74
      Tejun Heo 提交于
      For the planned cgroup writeback support, on each bdi
      (backing_dev_info), each memcg will be served by a separate wb
      (bdi_writeback).  This patch updates bdi so that a bdi can host
      multiple wbs (bdi_writebacks).
      
      On the default hierarchy, blkcg implicitly enables memcg.  This allows
      using memcg's page ownership for attributing writeback IOs, and every
      memcg - blkcg combination can be served by its own wb by assigning a
      dedicated wb to each memcg.  This means that there may be multiple
      wb's of a bdi mapped to the same blkcg.  As congested state is per
      blkcg - bdi combination, those wb's should share the same congested
      state.  This is achieved by tracking congested state via
      bdi_writeback_congested structs which are keyed by blkcg.
      
      bdi->wb remains unchanged and will keep serving the root cgroup.
      cgwb's (cgroup wb's) for non-root cgroups are created on-demand or
      looked up while dirtying an inode according to the memcg of the page
      being dirtied or current task.  Each cgwb is indexed on bdi->cgwb_tree
      by its memcg id.  Once an inode is associated with its wb, it can be
      retrieved using inode_to_wb().
      
      Currently, none of the filesystems has FS_CGROUP_WRITEBACK and all
      pages will keep being associated with bdi->wb.
      
      v3: inode_attach_wb() in account_page_dirtied() moved inside
          mapping_cap_account_dirty() block where it's known to be !NULL.
          Also, an unnecessary NULL check before kfree() removed.  Both
          detected by the kbuild bot.
      
      v2: Updated so that wb association is per inode and wb is per memcg
          rather than blkcg.

      memcg: add per cgroup dirty page accounting · c4843a75
      Greg Thelen 提交于
      When modifying PG_Dirty on cached file pages, update the new
      MEM_CGROUP_STAT_DIRTY counter.  This is done in the same places where
      global NR_FILE_DIRTY is managed.  The new memcg stat is visible in the
      per memcg memory.stat cgroupfs file.  The most recent past attempt at
      this was http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel.cgroups/8632
      
      The new accounting supports future efforts to add per cgroup dirty
      page throttling and writeback.  It also helps an administrator break
      down a container's memory usage and provides evidence to understand
      memcg oom kills (the new dirty count is included in memcg oom kill
      messages).
      
      The ability to move page accounting between memcg
      (memory.move_charge_at_immigrate) makes this accounting more
      complicated than the global counter.  The existing
      mem_cgroup_{begin,end}_page_stat() lock is used to serialize move
      accounting with stat updates.
      Typical update operation:
      	memcg = mem_cgroup_begin_page_stat(page)
      	if (TestSetPageDirty()) {
      		[...]
      		mem_cgroup_update_page_stat(memcg)
      	}
      	mem_cgroup_end_page_stat(memcg)
      
      Summary of mem_cgroup_end_page_stat() overhead:
      - Without CONFIG_MEMCG it's a no-op
      - With CONFIG_MEMCG and no inter memcg task movement, it's just
        rcu_read_lock()
      - With CONFIG_MEMCG and inter memcg  task movement, it's
        rcu_read_lock() + spin_lock_irqsave()
      
      A memcg parameter is added to several routines because their callers
      now grab mem_cgroup_begin_page_stat() which returns the memcg later
      needed by for mem_cgroup_update_page_stat().
      
      Because mem_cgroup_begin_page_stat() may disable interrupts, some
      adjustments are needed:
      - move __mark_inode_dirty() from __set_page_dirty() to its caller.
        __mark_inode_dirty() locking does not want interrupts disabled.
      - use spin_lock_irqsave(tree_lock) rather than spin_lock_irq() in
        __delete_from_page_cache(), replace_page_cache_page(),
        invalidate_complete_page2(), and __remove_mapping().

      page_writeback: revive cancel_dirty_page() in a restricted form · 11f81bec
      Tejun Heo 提交于
      cancel_dirty_page() had some issues and b9ea2515 ("page_writeback:
      clean up mess around cancel_dirty_page()") replaced it with
      account_page_cleaned() which makes the caller responsible for clearing
      the dirty bit; unfortunately, the planned changes for cgroup writeback
      support requires synchronization between dirty bit manipulation and
      stat updates.  While we can open-code such synchronization in each
      account_page_cleaned() callsite, that's gonna be unnecessarily awkward
      and verbose.
      
      This patch revives cancel_dirty_page() but in a more restricted form.
      All it does is TestClearPageDirty() followed by account_page_cleaned()
      invocation if the page was dirty.  This helper covers all
      account_page_cleaned() usages except for __delete_from_page_cache()
      which is a special case anyway and left alone.  As this leaves no
      module user for account_page_cleaned(), EXPORT_SYMBOL() is dropped
      from it.
      
      This patch just revives cancel_dirty_page() as a trivial wrapper to
      replace equivalent usages and doesn't introduce any functional
      changes.

      page_writeback: clean up mess around cancel_dirty_page() · b9ea2515
      Konstantin Khlebnikov 提交于
      This patch replaces cancel_dirty_page() with a helper function
      account_page_cleaned() which only updates counters.  It's called from
      truncate_complete_page() and from try_to_free_buffers() (hack for ext3).
      Page is locked in both cases, page-lock protects against concurrent
      dirtiers: see commit 2d6d7f98 ("mm: protect set_page_dirty() from
      ongoing truncation").
      
      Delete_from_page_cache() shouldn't be called for dirty pages, they must
      be handled by caller (either written or truncated).  This patch treats
      final dirty accounting fixup at the end of __delete_from_page_cache() as
      a debug check and adds WARN_ON_ONCE() around it.  If something removes
      dirty pages without proper handling that might be a bug and unwritten
      data might be lost.
      
      Hugetlbfs has no dirty pages accounting, ClearPageDirty() is enough
      here.
      
      cancel_dirty_page() in nfs_wb_page_cancel() is redundant.  This is
      helper for nfs_invalidate_page() and it's called only in case complete
      invalidation.
      
      The mess was started in v2.6.20 after commits 46d2277c ("Clean up
      and make try_to_free_buffers() not race with dirty pages") and
      3e67c098 ("truncate: clear page dirtiness before running
      try_to_free_buffers()") first was reverted right in v2.6.20 in commit
      ecdfc978 ("Resurrect 'try_to_free_buffers()' VM hackery"), second in
      v2.6.25 commit a2b34564 ("Fix dirty page accounting leak with ext3
      data=journal").
      
      Custom fixes were introduced between these points.  NFS in v2.6.23, commit
      1b3b4a1a ("NFS: Fix a write request leak in nfs_invalidate_page()").
      Kludge in __delete_from_page_cache() in v2.6.24, commit 3a692790 ("Do
      dirty page accounting when removing a page from the page cache").  Since
      v2.6.25 all of them are redundant.

      2f800fbd ("writeback: fix dirtied pages accounting on redirty")
      introduced account_page_redirty() which reverts stat updates for a
      redirtied page, making BDI_DIRTIED no longer monotonically increasing.
      
      bdi_update_write_bandwidth() uses the delta in BDI_DIRTIED as the
      basis for bandwidth calculation.  While unlikely, since the above
      patch, the newer value may be lower than the recorded past value and
      underflow the bandwidth calculation leading to a wild result.
      
      Fix it by subtracing min of the old and new values when calculating
      delta.  AFAIK, there hasn't been any report of it happening but the
      resulting erratic behavior would be non-critical and temporary, so
      it's possible that the issue is happening without being reported.  The
      risk of the fix is very low, so tagged for -stable.

      writeback: add missing INITIAL_JIFFIES init in global_update_bandwidth() · 7d70e154
      Tejun Heo 提交于
      global_update_bandwidth() uses static variable update_time as the
      timestamp for the last update but forgets to initialize it to
      INITIALIZE_JIFFIES.
      
      This means that global_dirty_limit will be 5 mins into the future on
      32bit and some large amount jiffies into the past on 64bit.  This
      isn't critical as the only effect is that global_dirty_limit won't be
      updated for the first 5 mins after booting on 32bit machines,
      especially given the auxiliary nature of global_dirty_limit's role -
      protecting against global dirty threshold's sudden dips; however, it
      does lead to unintended suboptimal behavior.  Fix it.

      mm: protect set_page_dirty() from ongoing truncation · 2d6d7f98
      Johannes Weiner 提交于
      Tejun, while reviewing the code, spotted the following race condition
      between the dirtying and truncation of a page:
      
      __set_page_dirty_nobuffers()       __delete_from_page_cache()
        if (TestSetPageDirty(page))
                                           page->mapping = NULL
      				     if (PageDirty())
      				       dec_zone_page_state(page, NR_FILE_DIRTY);
      				       dec_bdi_stat(mapping->backing_dev_info, BDI_RECLAIMABLE);
          if (page->mapping)
            account_page_dirtied(page)
              __inc_zone_page_state(page, NR_FILE_DIRTY);
      	__inc_bdi_stat(mapping->backing_dev_info, BDI_RECLAIMABLE);
      
      which results in an imbalance of NR_FILE_DIRTY and BDI_RECLAIMABLE.
      
      Dirtiers usually lock out truncation, either by holding the page lock
      directly, or in case of zap_pte_range(), by pinning the mapcount with
      the page table lock held.  The notable exception to this rule, though,
      is do_wp_page(), for which this race exists.  However, do_wp_page()
      already waits for a locked page to unlock before setting the dirty bit,
      in order to prevent a race where clear_page_dirty() misses the page bit
      in the presence of dirty ptes.  Upgrade that wait to a fully locked
      set_page_dirty() to also cover the situation explained above.
      
      Afterwards, the code in set_page_dirty() dealing with a truncation race
      is no longer needed.  Remove it.

      mm, memcg: fix potential undefined behaviour in page stat accounting · e4bd6a02
      Michal Hocko 提交于
      Since commit d7365e78 ("mm: memcontrol: fix missed end-writeback
      page accounting") mem_cgroup_end_page_stat consumes locked and flags
      variables directly rather than via pointers which might trigger C
      undefined behavior as those variables are initialized only in the slow
      path of mem_cgroup_begin_page_stat.
      
      Although mem_cgroup_end_page_stat handles parameters correctly and
      touches them only when they hold a sensible value it is caller which
      loads a potentially uninitialized value which then might allow compiler
      to do crazy things.
      
      I haven't seen any warning from gcc and it seems that the current
      version (4.9) doesn't exploit this type undefined behavior but Sasha has
      reported the following:

      mm: memcontrol: fix missed end-writeback page accounting · d7365e78
      Johannes Weiner 提交于
      Commit 0a31bc97 ("mm: memcontrol: rewrite uncharge API") changed
      page migration to uncharge the old page right away.  The page is locked,
      unmapped, truncated, and off the LRU, but it could race with writeback
      ending, which then doesn't unaccount the page properly:
      
      test_clear_page_writeback()              migration
                                                 wait_on_page_writeback()
        TestClearPageWriteback()
                                                 mem_cgroup_migrate()
                                                   clear PCG_USED
        mem_cgroup_update_page_stat()
          if (PageCgroupUsed(pc))
            decrease memcg pages under writeback
      
        release pc->mem_cgroup->move_lock
      
      The per-page statistics interface is heavily optimized to avoid a
      function call and a lookup_page_cgroup() in the file unmap fast path,
      which means it doesn't verify whether a page is still charged before
      clearing PageWriteback() and it has to do it in the stat update later.
      
      Rework it so that it looks up the page's memcg once at the beginning of
      the transaction and then uses it throughout.  The charge will be
      verified before clearing PageWriteback() and migration can't uncharge
      the page as long as that is still set.  The RCU lock will protect the
      memcg past uncharge.
      
      As far as losing the optimization goes, the following test results are
      from a microbenchmark that maps, faults, and unmaps a 4GB sparse file
      three times in a nested fashion, so that there are two negative passes
      that don't account but still go through the new transaction overhead.
      There is no actual difference:
      
       old:     33.195102545 seconds time elapsed       ( +-  0.01% )
       new:     33.199231369 seconds time elapsed       ( +-  0.03% )
      
      The time spent in page_remove_rmap()'s callees still adds up to the
      same, but the time spent in the function itself seems reduced:
      
           # Children      Self  Command        Shared Object       Symbol
       old:     0.12%     0.11%  filemapstress  [kernel.kallsyms]   [k] page_remove_rmap

      ext4: fix data integrity sync in ordered mode · 1c8349a1
      Namjae Jeon 提交于
      When we perform a data integrity sync we tag all the dirty pages with
      PAGECACHE_TAG_TOWRITE at start of ext4_da_writepages.  Later we check
      for this tag in write_cache_pages_da and creates a struct
      mpage_da_data containing contiguously indexed pages tagged with this
      tag and sync these pages with a call to mpage_da_map_and_submit.  This
      process is done in while loop until all the PAGECACHE_TAG_TOWRITE
      pages are synced. We also do journal start and stop in each iteration.
      journal_stop could initiate journal commit which would call
      ext4_writepage which in turn will call ext4_bio_write_page even for
      delayed OR unwritten buffers. When ext4_bio_write_page is called for
      such buffers, even though it does not sync them but it clears the
      PAGECACHE_TAG_TOWRITE of the corresponding page and hence these pages
      are also not synced by the currently running data integrity sync. We
      will end up with dirty pages although sync is completed.
      
      This could cause a potential data loss when the sync call is followed
      by a truncate_pagecache call, which is exactly the case in
      collapse_range.  (It will cause generic/127 failure in xfstests)
      
      To avoid this issue, we can use set_page_writeback_keepwrite instead of
      set_page_writeback, which doesn't clear TOWRITE tag.

      mm: __set_page_dirty_nobuffers() uses spin_lock_irqsave() instead of spin_lock_irq() · a85d9df1
      KOSAKI Motohiro 提交于
      During aio stress test, we observed the following lockdep warning.  This
      mean AIO+numa_balancing is currently deadlockable.
      
      The problem is, aio_migratepage disable interrupt, but
      __set_page_dirty_nobuffers unintentionally enable it again.
      
      Generally, all helper function should use spin_lock_irqsave() instead of
      spin_lock_irq() because they don't know caller at all.
      
         other info that might help us debug this:
          Possible unsafe locking scenario:
      
                CPU0

           lock(&(&ctx->completion_lock)->rlock);
           <Interrupt>
             lock(&(&ctx->completion_lock)->rlock);
