      xfs: skip writeback from reclaim context · 070ecdca
      Christoph Hellwig 提交于
      Allowing writeback from reclaim context causes massive problems with stack
      overflows as we can call into the writeback code which tends to be a heavy
      stack user both in the generic code and XFS from random contexts that
      perform memory allocations.
      
      Follow the example of btrfs (and in slightly different form ext4) and refuse
      to write out data from reclaim context.  This issue should really be handled
      by the VM so that we can tune better for this case, but until we get it
      sorted out there we have to hack around this in each filesystem with a
      complex writeback path.

      include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking... · 5a0e3ad6
      Tejun Heo 提交于
      include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h
      
      percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
      included when building most .c files.  percpu.h includes slab.h which
      in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
      universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.
      
      percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed.  Prepare for
      this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
      headers directly instead of assuming availability.  As this conversion
      needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
      used as the basis of conversion.
      
        http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py
      
      The script does the followings.
      
      * Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
        only the necessary includes are there.  ie. if only gfp is used,
        gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.
      
      * When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
        blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
        to its surrounding.  It's put in the include block which contains
        core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
        alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
        doesn't seem to be any matching order.
      
      * If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
        because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
        an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
        file.
      
      The conversion was done in the following steps.
      
      1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
         over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
         and ~3000 slab.h inclusions.  The script emitted errors for ~400
         files.
      
      2. Each error was manually checked.  Some didn't need the inclusion,
         some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
         embedding .c file was more appropriate for others.  This step added
         inclusions to around 150 files.
      
      3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
         from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.
      
      4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
         e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
         APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.
      
      5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
         editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
         files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell.  Most gfp.h
         inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
         wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros.  Each
         slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
         necessary.
      
      6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.
      
      7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
         were fixed.  CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
         distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
         more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
         build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).
      
         * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
         * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
         * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
         * ia64 SMP allmodconfig
         * s390 SMP allmodconfig
         * alpha SMP allmodconfig
         * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig
      
      8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
         a separate patch and serve as bisection point.
      
      Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
      6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
      If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
      headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
      the specific arch.

      xfs: Non-blocking inode locking in IO completion · 77d7a0c2
      Dave Chinner 提交于
      The introduction of barriers to loop devices has created a new IO
      order completion dependency that XFS does not handle. The loop
      device implements barriers using fsync and so turns a log IO in the
      XFS filesystem on the loop device into a data IO in the backing
      filesystem. That is, the completion of log IOs in the loop
      filesystem are now dependent on completion of data IO in the backing
      filesystem.
      
      This can cause deadlocks when a flush daemon issues a log force with
      an inode locked because the IO completion of IO on the inode is
      blocked by the inode lock. This in turn prevents further data IO
      completion from occuring on all XFS filesystems on that CPU (due to
      the shared nature of the completion queues). This then prevents the
      log IO from completing because the log is waiting for data IO
      completion as well.
      
      The fix for this new completion order dependency issue is to make
      the IO completion inode locking non-blocking. If the inode lock
      can't be grabbed, simply requeue the IO completion back to the work
      queue so that it can be processed later. This prevents the
      completion queue from being blocked and allows data IO completion on
      other inodes to proceed, hence avoiding completion order dependent
      deadlocks.

      cleanup blockdev_direct_IO locking · 1e431f5c
      Christoph Hellwig 提交于
      Currently the locking in blockdev_direct_IO is a mess, we have three different
      locking types and very confusing checks for some of them.  The most
      complicated one is DIO_OWN_LOCKING for reads, which happens to not actually be
      used.
      
      This patch gets rid of the DIO_OWN_LOCKING - as mentioned above the read case
      is unused anyway, and the write side is almost identical to DIO_NO_LOCKING.
      The difference is that DIO_NO_LOCKING always sets the create argument for
      the get_blocks callback to zero, but we can easily move that to the actual
      get_blocks callbacks.  There are four users of the DIO_NO_LOCKING mode:
      gfs already ignores the create argument and thus is fine with the new
      version, ocfs2 only errors out if create were ever set, and we can remove
      this dead code now, the block device code only ever uses create for an
      error message if we are fully beyond the device which can never happen,
      and last but not least XFS will need the new behavour for writes.
      
      Now we can replace the lock_type variable with a flags one, where no flag
      means the DIO_NO_LOCKING behaviour and DIO_LOCKING is kept as the first
      flag.  Separate out the check for not allowing to fill holes into a separate
      flag, although for now both flags always get set at the same time.
      
      Also revamp the documentation of the locking scheme to actually make sense.

      xfs: event tracing support · 0b1b213f
      Christoph Hellwig 提交于
      Convert the old xfs tracing support that could only be used with the
      out of tree kdb and xfsidbg patches to use the generic event tracer.
      
      To use it make sure CONFIG_EVENT_TRACING is enabled and then enable
      all xfs trace channels by:
      
         echo 1 > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/xfs/enable
      
      or alternatively enable single events by just doing the same in one
      event subdirectory, e.g.
      
         echo 1 > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/xfs/xfs_ihold/enable
      
      or set more complex filters, etc. In Documentation/trace/events.txt
      all this is desctribed in more detail.  To reads the events do a
      
         cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/trace
      
      Compared to the last posting this patch converts the tracing mostly to
      the one tracepoint per callsite model that other users of the new
      tracing facility also employ.  This allows a very fine-grained control
      of the tracing, a cleaner output of the traces and also enables the
      perf tool to use each tracepoint as a virtual performance counter,
           allowing us to e.g. count how often certain workloads git various
           spots in XFS.  Take a look at
      
          http://lwn.net/Articles/346470/
      
      for some examples.
      
      Also the btree tracing isn't included at all yet, as it will require
      additional core tracing features not in mainline yet, I plan to
      deliver it later.
      
      And the really nice thing about this patch is that it actually removes
      many lines of code while adding this nice functionality:
