Now we maintain an proper in-order LRU list in ext4 to reclaim entries from extent status tree when we are under heavy memory pressure. For keeping this order, a spin lock is used to protect this list. But this lock burns a lot of CPU time. We can use the following steps to trigger it. % cd /dev/shm % dd if=/dev/zero of=ext4-img bs=1M count=2k % mkfs.ext4 ext4-img % mount -t ext4 -o loop ext4-img /mnt % cd /mnt % for ((i=0;i<160;i++)); do truncate -s 64g $i; done % for ((i=0;i<160;i++)); do cp $i /dev/null &; done % perf record -a -g % perf report This commit tries to fix this problem. Now a new member called i_touch_when is added into ext4_inode_info to record the last access time for an inode. Meanwhile we never need to keep a proper in-order LRU list. So this can avoid to burns some CPU time. When we try to reclaim some entries from extent status tree, we use list_sort() to get a proper in-order list. Then we traverse this list to discard some entries. In ext4_sb_info, we use s_es_last_sorted to record the last time of sorting this list. When we traverse the list, we skip the inode that is newer than this time, and move this inode to the tail of LRU list. When the head of the list is newer than s_es_last_sorted, we will sort the LRU list again. In this commit, we break the loop if s_extent_cache_cnt == 0 because that means that all extents in extent status tree have been reclaimed. Meanwhile in this commit, ext4_es_{un}register_shrinker()'s prototype is changed to save a local variable in these functions. Reported-by:Dave Hansen <dave.hansen@intel.com> Signed-off-by:

If memory allocation in ext4_mb_new_group_pa() is failed, it returns error code, ext4_mb_new_preallocation() propages it, but ext4_mb_new_blocks() ignores it. An observed result was: - allocation fail means ext4_mb_new_group_pa() does not update ext4_allocation_context; - ext4_mb_new_blocks() sets ext4_allocation_request->len (ar->len = ac->ac_b_ex.fe_len;) to number of blocks preallocated (512) instead of number of blocks requested (1); - that activates update cycle in ext4_splice_branch(): for (i = 1; i < blks; i++) <-- blks is 512 instead of 1 here *(where->p + i) = cpu_to_le32(current_block++); - it iterates 511 times and corrupts a chunk of memory including inode structure; - page fault happens at EXT4_SB(inode->i_sb) in ext4_mark_inode_dirty(); - system hangs with 'scheduling while atomic' BUG. The patch implements a check for ext4_mb_new_preallocation() error code and handles its failure as if ext4_mb_regular_allocator() fails.

Subtracting the number of the first data block places the superblock backups one block too early, corrupting the file system. When the block size is larger than 1K, the first data block is 0, so the subtraction has no effect and no corruption occurs. Signed-off-by:

Since the jbd_debug() is implemented with two separate printk() calls, it can lead to corrupted and misleading debug output like the following (see lines marked with "*"): [ 290.339362] (fs/jbd2/journal.c, 203): kjournald2: kjournald2 wakes [ 290.339365] (fs/jbd2/journal.c, 155): kjournald2: commit_sequence=42103, commit_request=42104 [ 290.339369] (fs/jbd2/journal.c, 158): kjournald2: OK, requests differ [* 290.339376] (fs/jbd2/journal.c, 648): jbd2_log_wait_commit: [* 290.339379] (fs/jbd2/commit.c, 370): jbd2_journal_commit_transaction: JBD2: want 42104, j_commit_sequence=42103 [* 290.339382] JBD2: starting commit of transaction 42104 [ 290.339410] (fs/jbd2/revoke.c, 566): jbd2_journal_write_revoke_records: Wrote 0 revoke records [ 290.376555] (fs/jbd2/commit.c, 1088): jbd2_journal_commit_transaction: JBD2: commit 42104 complete, head 42079 i.e. the debug output from log_wait_commit and journal_commit_transaction have become interleaved.

And then, as we are waiting, journal_commit_transaction can run, and if the JBD2_FLUSHED bit is set, then we will also try to take the same checkpoint_mutex. It seems that we need to drop the checkpoint_mutex while sitting in jbd2_log_wait_commit, if we want to guarantee that progress can be made by jbd2_journal_commit_transaction(). There does not seem to be anything preempt-rt specific about this, other then perhaps increasing the odds of it happening. Signed-off-by:

Commit 18888cf0: "ext4: speed up truncate/unlink by not using bforget() unless needed" removed the use of EXT4_FREE_BLOCKS_FORGET in the most important codepath for file systems using extents, but a similar optimization also can be done for file systems using indirect blocks, and for the two special cases in the ext4 extents code.

For a file systems with a very large number of block groups, if all of the block group bitmaps are in memory and the file system is relatively badly fragmented, it's possible ext4_mb_regular_allocator() to take a long time trying to find a good match. This is especially true if the tuning parameter mb_max_to_scan has been sent to a very large number. So add a cond_resched() to avoid soft lockup warnings and to provide better system responsiveness. For ext4_free_blocks(), if we are deleting a large range of blocks, and data=journal is enabled so that EXT4_FREE_BLOCKS_FORGET is passed, the loop to call sb_find_get_block() and to call ext4_forget() can take over 10-15 milliseocnds or more. So it's better to add a cond_resched() here a well. Signed-off-by:

Rename ext4_da_writepages() to ext4_writepages() and use it for all modes. We still need to iterate over all the pages in the case of data=journalling, but in the case of nodelalloc/data=ordered (which is what file systems mounted using ext3 backwards compatibility will use) this will allow us to use a much more efficient I/O submission path.

So rewrite test_root() to avoid this issue; as a bonus, it is 38% faster when benchmarked via a test loop: int main(int argc, char **argv) { int i; for (i = 0; i < 1 << 24; i++) { if (test_root(i, 7)) printf("%d\n", i); } } Signed-off-by: -

Now that we clear PageWriteback after extent conversion, there's no need to wait for io_end processing in ext4_evict_inode(). Running AIO/DIO keeps file reference until aio_complete() is called so ext4_evict_inode() cannot be called. For io_end structures resulting from buffered IO waiting is happening because we wait for PageWriteback in truncate_inode_pages(). Reviewed-by:

We don't have to wait for extent conversion in ext4_punch_hole() as buffered IO for the punched range has been flushed and waited upon (thus all extent conversions for that range have completed). Also we wait for all DIO to finish using inode_dio_wait() so there cannot be any extent conversions pending due to direct IO. Also remove ext4_flush_unwritten_io() since it's unused now. Reviewed-by:

After removal of ext4_flush_unwritten_io() call, ext4_file_sync() doesn't need i_mutex anymore. Forcing of transaction commits doesn't need i_mutex as there's nothing inode specific in that code apart from grabbing transaction ids from the inode. So remove the lock. Reviewed-by:

Just use the generic function instead of duplicating it. We only need to reshuffle the read-only check a bit (which is there to prevent writing to a filesystem which has been remounted read-only after error I assume). Reviewed-by:

Since PageWriteback bit is now cleared after extents are converted from unwritten to written ones, we have full exclusion of writeback path from truncate (truncate_inode_pages() waits for PageWriteback bits to get cleared on all invalidated pages). Exclusion from DIO path is achieved by inode_dio_wait() call in ext4_setattr(). So there's no need to wait for extent convertion in ext4_truncate() anymore. Reviewed-by:

Make sure extent conversion after DIO happens while i_dio_count is still elevated so that inode_dio_wait() waits until extent conversion is done. This removes the need for explicit waiting for extent conversion in some cases. Reviewed-by:

Currently PageWriteback bit gets cleared from put_io_page() called from ext4_end_bio(). This is somewhat inconvenient as extent tree is not fully updated at that time (unwritten extents are not marked as written) so we cannot read the data back yet. This design was dictated by lock ordering as we cannot start a transaction while PageWriteback bit is set (we could easily deadlock with ext4_da_writepages()). But now that we use transaction reservation for extent conversion, locking issues are solved and we can move PageWriteback bit clearing after extent conversion is done. As a result we can remove wait for unwritten extent conversion from ext4_sync_file() because it already implicitely happens through wait_on_page_writeback(). We implement deferring of PageWriteback clearing by queueing completed bios to appropriate io_end and processing all the pages when io_end is going to be freed instead of at the moment ext4_io_end() is called.

Now that we have extent conversions with reserved transaction, we have to prevent extent conversions without reserved transaction (from DIO code) to block these (as that would effectively void any transaction reservation we did). So split lists, work items, and work queues to reserved and unreserved parts. Reviewed-by:

Later we would like to clear PageWriteback bit only after extent conversion from unwritten to written extents is performed. However it is not possible to start a transaction after PageWriteback is set because that violates lock ordering (and is easy to deadlock). So we have to reserve a transaction before locking pages and sending them for IO and later we use the transaction for extent conversion from ext4_end_io(). Reviewed-by:

There are two issues with current writeback path in ext4. For one we don't necessarily map complete pages when blocksize < pagesize and thus needn't do any writeback in one iteration. We always map some blocks though so we will eventually finish mapping the page. Just if writeback races with other operations on the file, forward progress is not really guaranteed. The second problem is that current code structure makes it hard to associate all the bios to some range of pages with one io_end structure so that unwritten extents can be converted after all the bios are finished. This will be especially difficult later when io_end will be associated with reserved transaction handle. We restructure the writeback path to a relatively simple loop which first prepares extent of pages, then maps one or more extents so that no page is partially mapped, and once page is fully mapped it is submitted for IO. We keep all the mapping and IO submission information in mpage_da_data structure to somewhat reduce stack usage. Resulting code is somewhat shorter than the old one and hopefully also easier to read.

We limit the number of blocks written in a single loop of ext4_da_writepages() to 64 when inode uses indirect blocks. That is unnecessary as credit estimates for mapping logically continguous run of blocks is rather low even for inode with indirect blocks. So just lift this limitation and properly calculate the number of necessary credits. This better credit estimate will also later allow us to always write at least a single page in one iteration.

ext4_ind_trans_blocks() wrongly used 'chunk' argument to decide whether blocks mapped are logically contiguous. That is wrong since the argument informs whether the blocks are physically contiguous. As the blocks mapped are always logically contiguous and that's all ext4_ind_trans_blocks() cares about, just remove the 'chunk' argument. Reviewed-by:

Writeback code got better in how it submits IO and now the number of pages requested to be written is usually higher than original 1024. The number is now dynamically computed based on observed throughput and is set to be about 0.5 s worth of writeback. E.g. on ordinary SATA drive this ends up somewhere around 10000 as my testing shows. So remove the unnecessary smarts from ext4_da_writepages(). Reviewed-by:

In some cases we cannot start a transaction because of locking constraints and passing started transaction into those places is not handy either because we could block transaction commit for too long. Transaction reservation is designed to solve these issues. It reserves a handle with given number of credits in the journal and the handle can be later attached to the running transaction without blocking on commit or checkpointing. Reserved handles do not block transaction commit in any way, they only reduce maximum size of the running transaction (because we have to always be prepared to accomodate request for attaching reserved handle).
