      ext4: fix ext4_evict_inode() racing against workqueue processing code · 1ada47d9
      Theodore Ts'o 提交于
      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.

      ext4: lookup block mapping in extent status tree · d100eef2
      Zheng Liu 提交于
      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.

      ext4: track all extent status in extent status tree · f7fec032
      Zheng Liu 提交于
      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.

      ext4: add physical block and status member into extent status tree · fdc0212e
      Zheng Liu 提交于
      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.

      ext4: grab page before starting transaction handle in write_begin() · 47564bfb
      Theodore Ts'o 提交于
      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:

      ext4: pass context information to jbd2__journal_start() · 9924a92a
      Theodore Ts'o 提交于
      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:

      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.

      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
