      mm: prevent concurrent unmap_mapping_range() on the same inode · 2aa15890
      Miklos Szeredi 提交于
      Michael Leun reported that running parallel opens on a fuse filesystem
      can trigger a "kernel BUG at mm/truncate.c:475"
      
      Gurudas Pai reported the same bug on NFS.
      
      The reason is, unmap_mapping_range() is not prepared for more than
      one concurrent invocation per inode.  For example:
      
        thread1: going through a big range, stops in the middle of a vma and
           stores the restart address in vm_truncate_count.
      
        thread2: comes in with a small (e.g. single page) unmap request on
           the same vma, somewhere before restart_address, finds that the
           vma was already unmapped up to the restart address and happily
           returns without doing anything.
      
      Another scenario would be two big unmap requests, both having to
      restart the unmapping and each one setting vm_truncate_count to its
      own value.  This could go on forever without any of them being able to
      finish.
      
      Truncate and hole punching already serialize with i_mutex.  Other
      callers of unmap_mapping_range() do not, and it's difficult to get
      i_mutex protection for all callers.  In particular ->d_revalidate(),
      which calls invalidate_inode_pages2_range() in fuse, may be called
      with or without i_mutex.
      
      This patch adds a new mutex to 'struct address_space' to prevent
      running multiple concurrent unmap_mapping_range() on the same mapping.
      
      [ We'll hopefully get rid of all this with the upcoming mm
        preemptibility series by Peter Zijlstra, the "mm: Remove i_mmap_mutex
        lockbreak" patch in particular.  But that is for 2.6.39 ]

      workqueue: add and use WQ_MEM_RECLAIM flag · 6370a6ad

      Add WQ_MEM_RECLAIM flag which currently maps to WQ_RESCUER, mark

      This makes the API users express the intent of the workqueue instead
      of indicating the internal mechanism used to guarantee forward

      GFS2: Use new workqueue scheme · 9fa0ea9f
      Steven Whitehouse 提交于
      The recovery workqueue can be freezable since
      we want it to finish what it is doing if the system is to
      be frozen (although why you'd want to freeze a cluster node
      is beyond me since it will result in it being ejected from
      the cluster). It does still make sense for single node
      GFS2 filesystems though.
      
      The glock workqueue will benefit from being able to run more
      work items concurrently. A test running postmark shows
      improved performance and multi-threaded workloads are likely
      to benefit even more. It needs to be high priority because
      the latency directly affects the latency of filesystem glock
      operations.
      
      The delete workqueue is similar to the recovery workqueue in
      that it must not get blocked by memory allocations, and may
      run for a long time.
      
      Potentially other GFS2 threads might also be converted to
      workqueues, but I'll leave that for a later patch.

      GFS2: Metadata address space clean up · 009d8518
      Steven Whitehouse 提交于
      Since the start of GFS2, an "extra" inode has been used to store
      the metadata belonging to each inode. The only reason for using
      this inode was to have an extra address space, the other fields
      were unused. This means that the memory usage was rather inefficient.
      
      The reason for keeping each inode's metadata in a separate address
      space is that when glocks are requested on remote nodes, we need to
      be able to efficiently locate the data and metadata which relating
      to that glock (inode) in order to sync or sync and invalidate it
      (depending on the remotely requested lock mode).
      
      This patch adds a new type of glock, which has in addition to
      its normal fields, has an address space. This applies to all
      inode and rgrp glocks (but to no other glock types which remain
      as before). As a result, we no longer need to have the second
      inode.
      
      This results in three major improvements:
       1. A saving of approx 25% of memory used in caching inodes
       2. A removal of the circular dependency between inodes and glocks
       3. No confusion between "normal" and "metadata" inodes in super.c
      
      Although the first of these is the more immediately apparent, the
      second is just as important as it now enables a number of clean
      ups at umount time. Those will be the subject of future patches.

      GFS2: Umount recovery race fix · fe64d517
      Steven Whitehouse 提交于
      This patch fixes a race condition where we can receive recovery
      requests part way through processing a umount. This was causing
      problems since the recovery thread had already gone away.
      
      Looking in more detail at the recovery code, it was really trying
      to implement a slight variation on a work queue, and that happens to
      align nicely with the recently introduced slow-work subsystem. As a
      result I've updated the code to use slow-work, rather than its own home
      grown variety of work queue.
      
      When using the wait_on_bit() function, I noticed that the wait function
      that was supplied as an argument was appearing in the WCHAN field, so
      I've updated the function names in order to produce more meaningful
      output.

      GFS2: Merge lock_dlm module into GFS2 · f057f6cd
      Steven Whitehouse 提交于
      This is the big patch that I've been working on for some time
      now. There are many reasons for wanting to make this change
      such as:
       o Reducing overhead by eliminating duplicated fields between structures
       o Simplifcation of the code (reduces the code size by a fair bit)
       o The locking interface is now the DLM interface itself as proposed
         some time ago.
       o Fewer lookups of glocks when processing replies from the DLM
       o Fewer memory allocations/deallocations for each glock
       o Scope to do further optimisations in the future (but this patch is
         more than big enough for now!)
      
      Please note that (a) this patch relates to the lock_dlm module and
      not the DLM itself, that is still a separate module; and (b) that
      we retain the ability to build GFS2 as a standalone single node
      filesystem with out requiring the DLM.
      
      This patch needs a lot of testing, hence my keeping it I restarted
      my -git tree after the last merge window. That way, this has the maximum
      exposure before its merged. This is (modulo a few minor bug fixes) the
      same patch that I've been posting on and off the the last three months
      and its passed a number of different tests so far.

      GFS2: Kill two daemons with one patch · 97cc1025
      Steven Whitehouse 提交于
      This patch removes the two daemons, gfs2_scand and gfs2_glockd
      and replaces them with a shrinker which is called from the VM.
      
      The net result is that GFS2 responds better when there is memory
      pressure, since it shrinks the glock cache at the same rate
      as the VFS shrinks the dcache and icache. There are no longer
      any time based criteria for shrinking glocks, they are kept
      until such time as the VM asks for more memory and then we
      demote just as many glocks as required.
      
      There are potential future changes to this code, including the
      possibility of sorting the glocks which are to be written back
      into inode number order, to get a better I/O ordering. It would
      be very useful to have an elevator based workqueue implementation
      for this, as that would automatically deal with the read I/O cases
      at the same time.
      
      This patch is my answer to Andrew Morton's remark, made during
      the initial review of GFS2, asking why GFS2 needs so many kernel
      threads, the answer being that it doesn't :-) This patch is a
      net loss of about 200 lines of code.

      GFS2: Fix "truncate in progress" hang · 813e0c46
      Steven Whitehouse 提交于
      Following on from the recent clean up of gfs2_quotad, this patch moves
      the processing of "truncate in progress" inodes from the glock workqueue
      into gfs2_quotad. This fixes a hang due to the "truncate in progress"
      processing requiring glocks in order to complete.
      
      It might seem odd to use gfs2_quotad for this particular item, but
      we have to use a pre-existing thread since creating a thread implies
      a GFP_KERNEL memory allocation which is not allowed from the glock
      workqueue context. Of the existing threads, gfs2_logd and gfs2_recoverd
      may deadlock if used for this operation. gfs2_scand and gfs2_glockd are
      both scheduled for removal at some (hopefully not too distant) future
      point. That leaves only gfs2_quotad whose workload is generally fairly
      light and is easily adapted for this extra task.
      
      Also, as a result of this change, it opens the way for a future patch to
      make the reading of the inode's information asynchronous with respect to
      the glock workqueue, which is another improvement that has been on the list
      for some time now.

      GFS2: Clean up & move gfs2_quotad · 37b2c837
      Steven Whitehouse 提交于
      This patch is a clean up of gfs2_quotad prior to giving it an
      extra job to do in addition to the current portfolio of updating
      the quota and statfs information from time to time.
      
      As a result it has been moved into quota.c allowing one of the
      functions it calls to be made static. Also the clean up allows
      the two existing functions to have separate timeouts and also
      to coexist with its future role of dealing with the "truncate in
      progress" inode flag.
      
      The (pointless) setting of gfs2_quotad_secs is removed since we
      arrange to only wake up quotad when one of the two timers expires.
      
      In addition the struct gfs2_quota_data is moved into a slab cache,
      mainly for easier debugging. It should also be possible to use
      a shrinker in the future, rather than the current scheme of scanning
      the quota data entries from time to time.

      This patch implements a number of cleanups to the core of the

      like a really big change, but actually a large part of this patch
      is either removing or moving existing code.
      
      There are some new bits too though, such as the new run_queue()
      function which is considerably streamlined. Highlights of this
      patch include:
      
       o Fixes a cluster coherency bug during SH -> EX lock conversions
       o Removes the "glmutex" code in favour of a single bit lock
       o Removes the ->go_xmote_bh() for inodes since it was duplicating
         ->go_lock()
       o We now only use the ->lm_lock() function for both locks and
         unlocks (i.e. unlock is a lock with target mode LM_ST_UNLOCKED)
       o The fast path is considerably shortly, giving performance gains
         especially with lock_nolock
       o The glock_workqueue is now used for all the callbacks from the DLM
         which allows us to simplify the lock_dlm module (see following patch)
       o The way is now open to make further changes such as eliminating the two
         threads (gfs2_glockd and gfs2_scand) in favour of a more efficient
         scheme.
      
      This patch has undergone extensive testing with various test suites
      so it should be pretty stable by now.

      [GFS2] Reduce inode size by moving i_alloc out of line · 6dbd8224
      Steven Whitehouse 提交于
      It is possible to reduce the size of GFS2 inodes by taking the i_alloc
      structure out of the gfs2_inode. This patch allocates the i_alloc
      structure whenever its needed, and frees it afterward. This decreases
      the amount of low memory we use at the expense of requiring a memory
      allocation for each page or partial page that we write. A quick test
      with postmark shows that the overhead is not measurable and I also note
      that OCFS2 use the same approach.
      
      In the future I'd like to solve the problem by shrinking down the size
      of the members of the i_alloc structure, but for now, this reduces the
      immediate problem of using too much low-memory on x86 and doesn't add
      too much overhead.

      slab allocators: Remove SLAB_DEBUG_INITIAL flag · 50953fe9
      Christoph Lameter 提交于
      I have never seen a use of SLAB_DEBUG_INITIAL.  It is only supported by
      SLAB.
      
      I think its purpose was to have a callback after an object has been freed
      to verify that the state is the constructor state again?  The callback is
      performed before each freeing of an object.
      
      I would think that it is much easier to check the object state manually
      before the free.  That also places the check near the code object
      manipulation of the object.
      
      Also the SLAB_DEBUG_INITIAL callback is only performed if the kernel was
      compiled with SLAB debugging on.  If there would be code in a constructor
      handling SLAB_DEBUG_INITIAL then it would have to be conditional on
      SLAB_DEBUG otherwise it would just be dead code.  But there is no such code
      in the kernel.  I think SLUB_DEBUG_INITIAL is too problematic to make real
      use of, difficult to understand and there are easier ways to accomplish the
      same effect (i.e.  add debug code before kfree).
      
      There is a related flag SLAB_CTOR_VERIFY that is frequently checked to be
      clear in fs inode caches.  Remove the pointless checks (they would even be
      pointless without removeal of SLAB_DEBUG_INITIAL) from the fs constructors.
      
      This is the last slab flag that SLUB did not support.  Remove the check for
      unimplemented flags from SLUB.

      [GFS2] Fix bz 224480 and cleanup glock demotion code · 3b8249f6
      Steven Whitehouse 提交于
      This patch prevents the printing of a warning message in cases where
      the fs is functioning normally by handing off responsibility for
      unlinked, but still open inodes, to another node for eventual deallocation.
      Also, there is now an improved system for ensuring that such requests
      to other nodes do not get lost. The callback on the iopen lock is
      only ever called when i_nlink == 0 and when a node is unable to deallocate
      it due to it still being in use on another node. When a node receives
      the callback therefore, it knows that i_nlink must be zero, so we mark
      it as such (in gfs2_drop_inode) in order that it will then attempt
      deallocation of the inode itself.
      
      As an additional benefit, queuing a demote request no longer requires
      a memory allocation. This simplifies the code for dealing with gfs2_holders
      as it removes one special case.
      
      There are two new fields in struct gfs2_glock. gl_demote_state is the
      state which the remote node has requested and gl_demote_time is the
      time when the request came in. Both fields are only valid when the
      GLF_DEMOTE flag is set in gl_flags.

      [GFS2] Add gfs2_tool lockdump support to gfs2 (bz 228540) · 7c52b166
      Robert Peterson 提交于
      The attached patch resolves bz 228540.  This adds the capability
      for gfs2 to dump gfs2 locks through the debugfs file system.
      This used to exist in gfs1 as "gfs_tool lockdump" but it's missing from
      gfs2 because all the ioctls were stripped out.  Please see the bugzilla
      for more history about the fix.  This patch is also attached to the bugzilla
      record.
      
      The patch is against Steve Whitehouse's latest nmw git tree kernel
      (2.6.21-rc1) and has been tested on system trin-10.

      [PATCH] remove many unneeded #includes of sched.h · cd354f1a
      Tim Schmielau 提交于
      After Al Viro (finally) succeeded in removing the sched.h #include in module.h
      recently, it makes sense again to remove other superfluous sched.h includes.
      There are quite a lot of files which include it but don't actually need
      anything defined in there.  Presumably these includes were once needed for
      macros that used to live in sched.h, but moved to other header files in the
      course of cleaning it up.
      
      To ease the pain, this time I did not fiddle with any header files and only
      removed #includes from .c-files, which tend to cause less trouble.
      
      Compile tested against 2.6.20-rc2 and 2.6.20-rc2-mm2 (with offsets) on alpha,
      arm, i386, ia64, mips, powerpc, and x86_64 with allnoconfig, defconfig,
      allmodconfig, and allyesconfig as well as a few randconfigs on x86_64 and all
      configs in arch/arm/configs on arm.  I also checked that no new warnings were
      introduced by the patch (actually, some warnings are removed that were emitted
      by unnecessarily included header files).

      [GFS2] Use hlist for glock hash chains · b6397893
      Steven Whitehouse 提交于
      This results in smaller list heads, so that we can have more chains
      in the same amount of memory (twice as many). I've multiplied the
      size of the table by four though - this is because we are saving
      memory by not having one lock per chain any more. So we land up
      using about the same amount of memory for the hash table as we
      did before I started these changes, the difference being that we
      now have four times as many hash chains.
      
      The reason that I say "about the same amount of memory" is that the
      actual amount now depends upon the NR_CPUS and some of the config
      variables, so that its not exact and in some cases we do use more
      memory. Eventually we might want to scale the hash table size
      according to the size of physical ram as measured on module load.

      [GFS2] Move glock hash table out of superblock · 85d1da67
      Steven Whitehouse 提交于
      There are several reasons why we want to do this:
       - Firstly its large and thus we'll scale better with multiple
         GFS2 fs mounted at the same time
       - Secondly its easier to scale its size as required (thats a plan
         for later patches)
       - Thirdly, we can use kzalloc rather than vmalloc when allocating
         the superblock (its now only 4888 bytes)
       - Fourth its all part of my plan to eventually be able to use RCU
         with the glock hash.

      [GFS2] Update copyright, tidy up incore.h · e9fc2aa0
      Steven Whitehouse 提交于
      As per comments from Jan Engelhardt <jengelh@linux01.gwdg.de> this
      updates the copyright message to say "version" in full rather than
      "v.2". Also incore.h has been updated to remove forward structure
      declarations which are not required.
      
      The gfs2_quota_lvb structure has now had endianess annotations added
      to it. Also quota.c has been updated so that we now store the
      lvb data locally in endian independant format to avoid needing
      a structure in host endianess too. As a result the endianess
      conversions are done as required at various points and thus the
      conversion routines in lvb.[ch] are no longer required. I've
      moved the one remaining constant in lvb.h thats used into lm.h
      and removed the unused lvb.[ch].
      
      I have not changed the HIF_ constants. That is left to a later patch
      which I hope will unify the gh_flags and gh_iflags fields of the
      struct gfs2_holder.

      [GFS2] Fix unlinked file handling · feaa7bba
      Steven Whitehouse 提交于
      This patch fixes the way we have been dealing with unlinked,
      but still open files. It removes all limits (other than memory
      for inodes, as per every other filesystem) on numbers of these
      which we can support on GFS2. It also means that (like other
      fs) its the responsibility of the last process to close the file
      to deallocate the storage, rather than the person who did the
      unlinking. Note that with GFS2, those two events might take place
      on different nodes.
      
      Also there are a number of other changes:
      
       o We use the Linux inode subsystem as it was intended to be
      used, wrt allocating GFS2 inodes
       o The Linux inode cache is now the point which we use for
      local enforcement of only holding one copy of the inode in
      core at once (previous to this we used the glock layer).
       o We no longer use the unlinked "special" file. We just ignore it
      completely. This makes unlinking more efficient.
       o We now use the 4th block allocation state. The previously unused
      state is used to track unlinked but still open inodes.
       o gfs2_inoded is no longer needed
       o Several fields are now no longer needed (and removed) from the in
      core struct gfs2_inode
       o Several fields are no longer needed (and removed) from the in core
      superblock
      
      There are a number of future possible optimisations and clean ups
      which have been made possible by this patch.
