      ext4: Turn off multiple page-io submission by default · 1449032b
      Theodore Ts'o 提交于
      Jon Nelson has found a test case which causes postgresql to fail with
      the error:
      
      psql:t.sql:4: ERROR: invalid page header in block 38269 of relation base/16384/16581
      
      Under memory pressure, it looks like part of a file can end up getting
      replaced by zero's.  Until we can figure out the cause, we'll roll
      back the change and use block_write_full_page() instead of
      ext4_bio_write_page().  The new, more efficient writing function can
      be used via the mount option mblk_io_submit, so we can test and fix
      the new page I/O code.
      
      To reproduce the problem, install postgres 8.4 or 9.0, and pin enough
      memory such that the system just at the end of triggering writeback
      before running the following sql script:
      
      begin;
      create temporary table foo as select x as a, ARRAY[x] as b FROM
      generate_series(1, 10000000 ) AS x;
      create index foo_a_idx on foo (a);
      create index foo_b_idx on foo USING GIN (b);
      rollback;
      
      If the temporary table is created on a hard drive partition which is
      encrypted using dm_crypt, then under memory pressure, approximately
      30-40% of the time, pgsql will issue the above failure.
      
      This patch should fix this problem, and the problem will come back if
      the file system is mounted with the mblk_io_submit mount option.

      ext4: optimize orphan_list handling for ext4_setattr · 3d287de3
      Dmitry Monakhov 提交于
      Surprisingly chown() on ext4 is not SMP scalable operation. 
      Due to unconditional orphan_del(NULL, inode) in ext4_setattr()
      result in significant performance overhead because of global orphan

      It is possible to skip explicit orphan_del if possible.

      ext4: update writeback_index based on last page scanned · 72f84e65
      Eric Sandeen 提交于
      As pointed out in a prior patch, updating the mapping's
      writeback_index based on pages written isn't quite right;
      what the writeback index is really supposed to reflect is
      the next page which should be scanned for writeback during
      periodic flush.
      
      As in write_cache_pages(), write_cache_pages_da() does
      this scanning for us as we assemble the mpd for later
      writeout.  If we keep track of the next page after the
      current scan, we can easily update writeback_index without
      worrying about pages written vs. pages skipped, etc.
      
      Without this, an fsync will reset writeback_index to
      0 (its starting index) + however many pages it wrote, which
      can mess up the progress of periodic flush.

      ext4: implement writeback livelock avoidance using page tagging · 5b41d924
      Eric Sandeen 提交于
      This is analogous to Jan Kara's commit,
      f446daae
      mm: implement writeback livelock avoidance using page tagging
      
      but since we forked write_cache_pages, we need to reimplement
      it there (and in ext4_da_writepages, since range_cyclic handling
      was moved to there)
      
      If you start a large buffered IO to a file, and then set
      fsync after it, you'll find that fsync does not complete
      until the other IO stops.
      
      If you continue re-dirtying the file (say, putting dd
      with conv=notrunc in a loop), when fsync finally completes
      (after all IO is done), it reports via tracing that
      it has written many more pages than the file contains;
      in other words it has synced and re-synced pages in
      the file multiple times.
      
      This then leads to problems with our writeback_index
      update, since it advances it by pages written, and
      essentially sets writeback_index off the end of the
      file...
      
      With the following patch, we only sync as much as was
      dirty at the time of the sync.

      ext4: queue conversion after adding to inode's completed IO list · c999af2b

      By queuing the io end on the unwritten workqueue before adding it

      It should be safe to add it to the inode's list of completed

      ======================================================================
      
      The reason why this hangup happens is described as follows:
      1) We write the last extent block of the file whose size is the filesystem 
         maximum size.
      2) "BH_Delay" flag is set on the buffer_head of its block.
      3) - the member, "m_lblk" of struct mpage_da_data is 4294967295 (UINT_MAX)
         - the member, "m_len" of struct mpage_da_data is 1
        mpage_put_bnr_to_bhs() which is called via ext4_da_writepages()
        cannot clear "BH_Delay" flag of the buffer_head because the type of
        m_lblk is ext4_lblk_t and then m_lblk + m_len is overflow.
      
        Therefore an infinite loop occurs because ext4_da_writepages()
        cannot write the page (which corresponds to the block) since
        "BH_Delay" flag isn't cleared.
      ----------------------------------------------------------------------
      static void mpage_put_bnr_to_bhs(struct mpage_da_data *mpd,
      				struct ext4_map_blocks *map)

      ...

      ext4: Fix dirtying of journalled buffers in data=journal mode · 56d35a4c
      Jan Kara 提交于
      In data=journal mode, we still use block_write_begin() to prepare
      page for writing. This function can occasionally mark buffer dirty
      which violates journalling assumptions - when a buffer is part of
      a transaction, it should be dirty and a buffer can be already part
      of a forget list of some transaction when block_write_begin()
      gets called. This violation of journalling assumptions then results
      in "JBD: Spotted dirty metadata buffer..." warnings.
      
      In fact, temporary dirtying the buffer while the page is still locked
      does not really cause problems to the journalling because we won't write
      the buffer until the page gets unlocked. So we just have to make sure
      to clear dirty bits before unlocking the page.
