      writeback: make writeback_control track the inode being written back · b16b1deb
      Tejun Heo 提交于
      Currently, for cgroup writeback, the IO submission paths directly
      associate the bio's with the blkcg from inode_to_wb_blkcg_css();
      however, it'd be necessary to keep more writeback context to implement
      foreign inode writeback detection.  wbc (writeback_control) is the
      natural fit for the extra context - it persists throughout the
      writeback of each inode and is passed all the way down to IO
      submission paths.
      
      This patch adds wbc_attach_and_unlock_inode(), wbc_detach_inode(), and
      wbc_attach_fdatawrite_inode() which are used to associate wbc with the
      inode being written back.  IO submission paths now use wbc_init_bio()
      instead of directly associating bio's with blkcg themselves.  This
      leaves inode_to_wb_blkcg_css() w/o any user.  The function is removed.
      
      wbc currently only tracks the associated wb (bdi_writeback).  Future
      patches will add more for foreign inode detection.  The association is
      established under i_lock which will be depended upon when migrating
      foreign inodes to other wb's.
      
      As currently, once established, inode to wb association never changes,
      going through wbc when initializing bio's doesn't cause any behavior
      changes.
      
      v2: submit_blk_blkcg() now checks whether the wbc is associated with a
          wb before dereferencing it.  This can happen when pageout() is
          writing pages directly without going through the usual writeback
          path.  As pageout() path is single-threaded, we don't want it to
          be blocked behind a slow cgroup and ultimately want it to delegate
          actual writing to the usual writeback path.

      buffer, writeback: make __block_write_full_page() honor cgroup writeback · bafc0dba
      Tejun Heo 提交于
      [__]block_write_full_page() is used to implement ->writepage in
      various filesystems.  All writeback logic is now updated to handle
      cgroup writeback and the block cgroup to issue IOs for is encoded in
      writeback_control and can be retrieved from the inode; however,
      [__]block_write_full_page() currently ignores the blkcg indicated by
      inode and issues all bio's without explicit blkcg association.
      
      This patch adds submit_bh_blkcg() which associates the bio with the
      specified blkio cgroup before issuing and uses it in
      __block_write_full_page() so that the issued bio's are associated with
      inode_to_wb_blkcg_css(inode).
      
      v2: Updated for per-inode wb association.

      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.

      fs: clarify rate limit suppressed buffer I/O errors · 432f16e6
      Robert Elliott 提交于
      When quiet_error applies rate limiting to buffer_io_error calls, what the

      Also, the function uses printk_ratelimit(), although printk.h includes a
      comment advising "Please don't use... Instead use printk_ratelimited()."
      
      Change buffer_io_error to check the BH_Quiet bit itself, drop the

      fs: check bh blocknr earlier when searching lru · 9470dd5d
      Zach Brown 提交于
      It's very common for the buffer heads in the lru to have different block
      numbers.  By comparing the blocknr before the bdev and size we can
      reduce the cost of searching in the very common case where all the
      entries have the same bdev and size.
      
      In quick hot cache cycle counting tests on a single fs workstation this
      cut the cost of a miss by about 20%.
      
      A diff of the disassembly shows the reordering of the bdev and blocknr
      comparisons.  This is in such a tiny loop that skipping one comparison
      is a meaningful portion of the total work being done:

      fs: make cont_expand_zero interruptible · c2ca0fcd
      Mikulas Patocka 提交于
      This patch makes it possible to kill a process looping in
      cont_expand_zero. A process may spend a lot of time in this function, so
      it is desirable to be able to kill it.
      
      It happened to me that I wanted to copy a piece data from the disk to a
      file. By mistake, I used the "seek" parameter to dd instead of "skip". Due
      to the "seek" parameter, dd attempted to extend the file and became stuck
      doing so - the only possibility was to reset the machine or wait many
      hours until the filesystem runs out of space and cont_expand_zero fails.
      We need this patch to be able to terminate the process.

      vfs: fix data corruption when blocksize < pagesize for mmaped data · 90a80202
      Jan Kara 提交于
      ->page_mkwrite() is used by filesystems to allocate blocks under a page
      which is becoming writeably mmapped in some process' address space. This
      allows a filesystem to return a page fault if there is not enough space
      available, user exceeds quota or similar problem happens, rather than
      silently discarding data later when writepage is called.
      
      However VFS fails to call ->page_mkwrite() in all the cases where
      filesystems need it when blocksize < pagesize. For example when
      blocksize = 1024, pagesize = 4096 the following is problematic:
        ftruncate(fd, 0);
        pwrite(fd, buf, 1024, 0);
        map = mmap(NULL, 1024, PROT_WRITE, MAP_SHARED, fd, 0);
        map[0] = 'a';       ----> page_mkwrite() for index 0 is called
        ftruncate(fd, 10000); /* or even pwrite(fd, buf, 1, 10000) */
        mremap(map, 1024, 10000, 0);
        map[4095] = 'a';    ----> no page_mkwrite() called
      
      At the moment ->page_mkwrite() is called, filesystem can allocate only
      one block for the page because i_size == 1024. Otherwise it would create
      blocks beyond i_size which is generally undesirable. But later at
      ->writepage() time, we also need to store data at offset 4095 but we
      don't have block allocated for it.
      
      This patch introduces a helper function filesystems can use to have
      ->page_mkwrite() called at all the necessary moments.

      Fix nasty 32-bit overflow bug in buffer i/o code. · f2d5a944
      Anton Altaparmakov 提交于
      On 32-bit architectures, the legacy buffer_head functions are not always
      handling the sector number with the proper 64-bit types, and will thus
      fail on 4TB+ disks.
      
      Any code that uses __getblk() (and thus bread(), breadahead(),
      sb_bread(), sb_breadahead(), sb_getblk()), and calls it using a 64-bit
      block on a 32-bit arch (where "long" is 32-bit) causes an inifinite loop
      in __getblk_slow() with an infinite stream of errors logged to dmesg
      like this:
      
        __find_get_block_slow() failed. block=6740375944, b_blocknr=2445408648
        b_state=0x00000020, b_size=512
        device sda1 blocksize: 512
      
      Note how in hex block is 0x191C1F988 and b_blocknr is 0x91C1F988 i.e. the
      top 32-bits are missing (in this case the 0x1 at the top).
      
      This is because grow_dev_page() is broken and has a 32-bit overflow due
      to shifting the page index value (a pgoff_t - which is just 32 bits on
      32-bit architectures) left-shifted as the block number.  But the top
      bits to get lost as the pgoff_t is not type cast to sector_t / 64-bit
      before the shift.
      
      This patch fixes this issue by type casting "index" to sector_t before
      doing the left shift.
      
      Note this is not a theoretical bug but has been seen in the field on a
      4TiB hard drive with logical sector size 512 bytes.
      
      This patch has been verified to fix the infinite loop problem on 3.17-rc5
      kernel using a 4TB disk image mounted using "-o loop".  Without this patch
      doing a "find /nt" where /nt is an NTFS volume causes the inifinite loop
      100% reproducibly whilst with the patch it works fine as expected.

      sched: Remove proliferation of wait_on_bit() action functions · 74316201
      NeilBrown 提交于
      The current "wait_on_bit" interface requires an 'action'
      function to be provided which does the actual waiting.
      There are over 20 such functions, many of them identical.
      Most cases can be satisfied by one of just two functions, one
      which uses io_schedule() and one which just uses schedule().
      
      So:
       Rename wait_on_bit and        wait_on_bit_lock to
              wait_on_bit_action and wait_on_bit_lock_action
       to make it explicit that they need an action function.
      
       Introduce new wait_on_bit{,_lock} and wait_on_bit{,_lock}_io
       which are *not* given an action function but implicitly use
       a standard one.
       The decision to error-out if a signal is pending is now made
       based on the 'mode' argument rather than being encoded in the action
       function.
      
       All instances of the old wait_on_bit and wait_on_bit_lock which
       can use the new version have been changed accordingly and their
       action functions have been discarded.
       wait_on_bit{_lock} does not return any specific error code in the
       event of a signal so the caller must check for non-zero and
       interpolate their own error code as appropriate.
      
      The wait_on_bit() call in __fscache_wait_on_invalidate() was
      ambiguous as it specified TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE but used
      fscache_wait_bit_interruptible as an action function.
      David Howells confirms this should be uniformly
      "uninterruptible"
      
      The main remaining user of wait_on_bit{,_lock}_action is NFS
      which needs to use a freezer-aware schedule() call.
      
      A comment in fs/gfs2/glock.c notes that having multiple 'action'
      functions is useful as they display differently in the 'wchan'
      field of 'ps'. (and /proc/$PID/wchan).
      As the new bit_wait{,_io} functions are tagged "__sched", they
      will not show up at all, but something higher in the stack.  So
      the distinction will still be visible, only with different
      function names (gds2_glock_wait versus gfs2_glock_dq_wait in the
      gfs2/glock.c case).
      
      Since first version of this patch (against 3.15) two new action
      functions appeared, on in NFS and one in CIFS.  CIFS also now
      uses an action function that makes the same freezer aware
      schedule call as NFS.

      mm: non-atomically mark page accessed during page cache allocation where possible · 2457aec6
      Mel Gorman 提交于
      aops->write_begin may allocate a new page and make it visible only to have
      mark_page_accessed called almost immediately after.  Once the page is
      visible the atomic operations are necessary which is noticable overhead
      when writing to an in-memory filesystem like tmpfs but should also be
      noticable with fast storage.  The objective of the patch is to initialse
      the accessed information with non-atomic operations before the page is
      visible.
      
      The bulk of filesystems directly or indirectly use
      grab_cache_page_write_begin or find_or_create_page for the initial
      allocation of a page cache page.  This patch adds an init_page_accessed()
      helper which behaves like the first call to mark_page_accessed() but may
      called before the page is visible and can be done non-atomically.
      
      The primary APIs of concern in this care are the following and are used
      by most filesystems.
      
      	find_get_page
      	find_lock_page
      	find_or_create_page
      	grab_cache_page_nowait
      	grab_cache_page_write_begin
      
      All of them are very similar in detail to the patch creates a core helper
      pagecache_get_page() which takes a flags parameter that affects its
      behavior such as whether the page should be marked accessed or not.  Then
      old API is preserved but is basically a thin wrapper around this core
      function.
      
      Each of the filesystems are then updated to avoid calling
      mark_page_accessed when it is known that the VM interfaces have already
      done the job.  There is a slight snag in that the timing of the
      mark_page_accessed() has now changed so in rare cases it's possible a page
      gets to the end of the LRU as PageReferenced where as previously it might
      have been repromoted.  This is expected to be rare but it's worth the
      filesystem people thinking about it in case they see a problem with the
      timing change.  It is also the case that some filesystems may be marking
      pages accessed that previously did not but it makes sense that filesystems
      have consistent behaviour in this regard.
      
      The test case used to evaulate this is a simple dd of a large file done
      multiple times with the file deleted on each iterations.  The size of the
      file is 1/10th physical memory to avoid dirty page balancing.  In the
      async case it will be possible that the workload completes without even
      hitting the disk and will have variable results but highlight the impact
      of mark_page_accessed for async IO.  The sync results are expected to be
      more stable.  The exception is tmpfs where the normal case is for the "IO"
      to not hit the disk.
      
      The test machine was single socket and UMA to avoid any scheduling or NUMA
      artifacts.  Throughput and wall times are presented for sync IO, only wall
      times are shown for async as the granularity reported by dd and the
      variability is unsuitable for comparison.  As async results were variable
      do to writback timings, I'm only reporting the maximum figures.  The sync
      results were stable enough to make the mean and stddev uninteresting.
      
      The performance results are reported based on a run with no profiling.
      Profile data is based on a separate run with oprofile running.

      fs: buffer: move allocation failure loop into the allocator · 84235de3
      Johannes Weiner 提交于
      Buffer allocation has a very crude indefinite loop around waking the
      flusher threads and performing global NOFS direct reclaim because it can
      not handle allocation failures.
      
      The most immediate problem with this is that the allocation may fail due
      to a memory cgroup limit, where flushers + direct reclaim might not make
      any progress towards resolving the situation at all.  Because unlike the
      global case, a memory cgroup may not have any cache at all, only
      anonymous pages but no swap.  This situation will lead to a reclaim
      livelock with insane IO from waking the flushers and thrashing unrelated
      filesystem cache in a tight loop.
      
      Use __GFP_NOFAIL allocations for buffers for now.  This makes sure that
      any looping happens in the page allocator, which knows how to
      orchestrate kswapd, direct reclaim, and the flushers sensibly.  It also
      allows memory cgroups to detect allocations that can't handle failure
      and will allow them to ultimately bypass the limit if reclaim can not
      make progress.

      mm: vmscan: take page buffers dirty and locked state into account · b4597226
      Mel Gorman 提交于
      Page reclaim keeps track of dirty and under writeback pages and uses it
      to determine if wait_iff_congested() should stall or if kswapd should
      begin writing back pages.  This fails to account for buffer pages that
      can be under writeback but not PageWriteback which is the case for
      filesystems like ext3 ordered mode.  Furthermore, PageDirty buffer pages
      can have all the buffers clean and writepage does no IO so it should not
      be accounted as congested.
      
      This patch adds an address_space operation that filesystems may
      optionally use to check if a page is really dirty or really under
      writeback.  An implementation is provided for for buffer_heads is added
      and used for block operations and ext3 in ordered mode.  By default the
      page flags are obeyed.
      
      Credit goes to Jan Kara for identifying that the page flags alone are
      not sufficient for ext3 and sanity checking a number of ideas on how the
      problem could be addressed.

      mm: change invalidatepage prototype to accept length · d47992f8
      Lukas Czerner 提交于
      Currently there is no way to truncate partial page where the end
      truncate point is not at the end of the page. This is because it was not
      needed and the functionality was enough for file system truncate
      operation to work properly. However more file systems now support punch
      hole feature and it can benefit from mm supporting truncating page just
      up to the certain point.
      
      Specifically, with this functionality truncate_inode_pages_range() can
      be changed so it supports truncating partial page at the end of the
      range (currently it will BUG_ON() if 'end' is not at the end of the
      page).
      
      This commit changes the invalidatepage() address space operation
      prototype to accept range to be invalidated and update all the instances
      for it.
      
      We also change the block_invalidatepage() in the same way and actually
      make a use of the new length argument implementing range invalidation.
      
      Actual file system implementations will follow except the file systems
      where the changes are really simple and should not change the behaviour
      in any way .Implementation for truncate_page_range() which will be able
      to accept page unaligned ranges will follow as well.

      mm: only enforce stable page writes if the backing device requires it · 1d1d1a76
      Darrick J. Wong 提交于
      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.

      vfs: add missing virtual cache flush after editing partial pages · 6d283dba
      Linus Torvalds 提交于
      Andrew Morton pointed this out a month ago, and then I completely forgot
      about it.
      
      If we read a partial last page of a block device, we will zero out the
      end of the page, but since that page can then be mapped into user space,
      we should also make sure to flush the cache on architectures that have
      virtual caches.  We have the flush_dcache_page() function for this, so
      use it.
      
      Now, in practice this really never matters, because nobody sane uses
      virtual caches to begin with, and they largely exist on old broken RISC
      arhitectures.
      
      And even if you did run on one of those obsolete CPU's, the whole "mmap
      and access the last partial page of a block device" behavior probably
      doesn't actually exist.  The normal IO functions (read/write) will never
      see the zeroed-out part of the page that migth not be coherent in the
      cache, because they honor the size of the device.
      
      So I'm marking this for stable (3.7 only), but I'm not sure anybody will
      ever care.

      buffer: make touch_buffer() an exported function · f0059afd
      Tejun Heo 提交于
      We want to add a trace point to touch_buffer() but macros and inline
      functions defined in header files can't have tracing points.  Move
      touch_buffer() to fs/buffer.c and make it a proper function.
      
      The new exported function is also declared inline.  As most uses of
      touch_buffer() are inside buffer.c with nilfs2 as the only other user,
      the effect of this change should be negligible.
