Miklos Szeredi <miklos@szeredi.hu> and me identified a writeback bug: > The following strange behavior can be observed: > > 1. large file is written > 2. after 30 seconds, nr_dirty goes down by 1024 > 3. then for some time (< 30 sec) nothing happens (disk idle) > 4. then nr_dirty again goes down by 1024 > 5. repeat from 3. until whole file is written > > So basically a 4Mbyte chunk of the file is written every 30 seconds. > I'm quite sure this is not the intended behavior.

So basicly no page io is issued by __block_write_full_page(), hence pages_skipped goes up. Also the comment in generic_sync_sb_inodes(): 544 /* 545 * writeback is not making progress due to locked 546 * buffers. Skip this inode for now. 547 */ and the comment in __block_write_full_page(): 1713 /* 1714 * The page was marked dirty, but the buffers were 1715 * clean. Someone wrote them back by hand with 1716 * ll_rw_block/submit_bh. A rare case. 1717 */ do not quite agree with each other. The page writeback should be skipped for 'locked buffer', but here it is 'clean buffer'! This patch fixes this bug. Though I'm not sure why __block_write_full_page() is called only to do nothing and who actually issued the writeback for us. This is the two possible new behaviors after the patch: 1) pretty nice: wait 30s and write ALL:) 2) not so good: - during the dd: ~16M - after 30s: ~4M - after 5s: ~4M - after 5s: ~176M The next patch will fix case (2).

Streamline the management of dirty inode lists and fix time ordering bugs. The writeback logic used to move not-yet-expired dirty inodes from s_dirty to s_io, *only to* move them back. The move-inodes-back-and-forth thing is a mess, which is eliminated by this patch. The new scheme is: - s_dirty acts as a time ordered io delaying queue; - s_io/s_more_io together acts as an io dispatching queue. On kupdate writeback, we pull some inodes from s_dirty to s_io at the start of every full scan of s_io. Otherwise (i.e. for sync/throttle/background writeback), we always pull from s_dirty on each run (a partial scan). Note that the line list_splice_init(&sb->s_more_io, &sb->s_io); is moved to queue_io() to leave s_io empty. Otherwise a big dirtied file will sit in s_io for a long time, preventing new expired inodes to get in. Cc: Ken Chen <kenchen@google.com> Cc: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by:

Current -mm tree has bucketful of bug fixes in periodic writeback path. However, we still hit a glitch where dirty pages on a given inode aren't completely flushed to the disk, and system will accumulate large amount of dirty pages beyond what dirty_expire_interval is designed for. The problem is __sync_single_inode() will move an inode to sb->s_dirty list even when there are more pending dirty pages on that inode. If there is another inode with a small number of dirty pages, we hit a case where the loop iteration in wb_kupdate() terminates prematurely because wbc.nr_to_write > 0. Thus leaving the inode that has large amount of dirty pages behind and it has to wait for another dirty_writeback_interval before we flush it again. We effectively only write out MAX_WRITEBACK_PAGES every dirty_writeback_interval. If the rate of dirtying is sufficiently high, the system will start accumulate a large number of dirty pages. So fix it by having another sb->s_more_io list on which to park the inode while we iterate through sb->s_io and to allow each dirty inode which resides on that sb to have an equal chance of flushing some amount of dirty pages.

This one fixes four bugs. There are a few situation in there where writeback decides it is going to skip over a blockdev inode on the kernel-internal blockdev superblock. It presently does this by moving the blockdev inode onto the tail of the blockdev superblock's s_dirty. But a) this screws up s_dirty's reverse-time-orderedness and b) refiling the blockdev for writeback in another 30 second is rude. We should try again sooner than that. Fix all this up by using redirty_head(): move the blockdev inode onto the head of the blockdev superblock's s_dirty list for prompt writeback. Cc: Mike Waychison <mikew@google.com> Signed-off-by:

Recycling the previous changelog: When the writeback function is operating in writeback-for-flushing mode (as opposed to writeback-for-integrity) and it encounters an I_LOCKed inode, it will skip writing that inode. This is done for throughput and latency: move on to another inode rather than blocking for this one. Writeback skips this inode by moving it off s_io and onto s_dirty, so that writeback can proceed with the other inodes on s_io. However that inode movement can corrupt s_dirty's reverse-time-orderedness. Fix that by using the new redirty_tail(), which will update the refiled inode's dirtied_when field. Note: the behaviour in here is a bit rude: if kupdate happens to come across a locked inode then it will defer writeback of that inode for another 30 seconds. We'll address that in the next patch. Address that here. What we do is to move the skipped inode to the _head_ of s_dirty, immediately eligible for writeout again. Instead of deferring that writeout for another 30 seconds. One would think that this might cause a livelock: we keep on trying to write the same locked inode. But it won't because: a) if that was the case, it would _already_ be happening on the balance_dirty_pages codepath. Because balance_dirty_pages() doesn't care about inode timestamps. b) if we skipped this inode then we won't have done any writeback. The higher-level writeback paths will see that wbc.nr_to_write didn't change and they'll then back off and take a nap. Cc: Mike Waychison <mikew@google.com> Signed-off-by:

There's a comment in there which claims that the inode is left on s_io if nfs chickened out of writing some data. But that's not been true for three years. 9290280ced13c85689adeffa587e9a53bd3a5873 fixed a livelock by moving these inodes back onto s_dirty. Fix the comment. In the second leg of the `if', use redirty_tail() rather than open-coding it.

When the kupdate function has tried to write back an expired inode it will then check to see whether some of the inode's pages are still dirty. This can happen when the filesystem decided to not write a page for some reason. But it does _not_ occur due to redirtyings: a redirtying will set I_DIRTY_PAGES. What we need to do here is to set I_DIRTY_PAGES to reflect reality and to then put the inode onto the _head_ of s_dirty for consideration on the next kupdate pass, in five seconds time. Problem is, the code failed to modify the inode's timestamp when pushing the inode onto thehead of s_dirty. The patch: If there are no other inodes on s_dirty then we leave the inode's timestamp alone: it is already expired. If there _are_ other inodes on s_dirty then we arrange for this inode to get the same timestamp as the inode which is at the head of s_dirty, thus preserving the s_dirty ordering. But we only need to do this if this inode purports to have been dirtied before the one at head-of-list. Cc: Mike Waychison <mikew@google.com> Signed-off-by:

While writeback is working against a dirty inode it does a check after trying to write some of the inode's pages: "did the lower layers skip some of the inode's dirty pages because they were locked (or under writeback, or whatever)" If this turns out to be true, we must move the inode back onto s_dirty and redirty it. The reason for doing this is that fsync() and friends only check the s_dirty list, and those functions want to know about those pages which were locked, so they can be waited upon and, if necessary, rewritten. Problem is, that redirtying was putting the inode onto the tail of s_dirty without updating its timestamp. This causes a violation of s_dirty ordering. Fix this by updating inode->dirtied_when when moving the inode onto s_dirty. But the code is still a bit buggy? If the inode was _already_ dirty then we don't need to move it at all. Oh well, hopefully it doesn't matter too much, as that was a redirtying, which was very recent anwyay. Cc: Mike Waychison <mikew@google.com> Signed-off-by:

For reasons which escape me, inodes which are dirty against a ram-backed filesystem are managed in the same way as inodes which are backed by real devices. Probably we could optimise things here. But given that we skip the entire supeblock as son as we hit the first dirty inode, there's not a lot to be gained. And the code does need to handle one particular non-backed superblock: the kernel's fake internal superblock which holds all the blockdevs. Still. At present when the code encounters an inode which is dirty against a memory-backed filesystem it will skip that inode by refiling it back onto s_dirty. But it fails to update the inode's timestamp when doing so which at least makes the debugging code upset. Fix. Cc: Mike Waychison <mikew@google.com> Signed-off-by:

When writeback has finished writing back an inode it looks to see if that inode is still dirty. If it is, that means that a process redirtied the inode while its writeback was in progress. What we need to do here is to refile the redirtied inode onto the s_dirty list. But we're doing that wrongly: it could be that this inode was redirtied _before_ the last inode on s_dirty. We're blindly appending this inode to the list, after an inode which might be less-recently-dirtied, thus violating the list's ordering. So we must either insertion-sort this inode into the correct place, or we must update this inode's dirtied_when field when appending it to the reverse-sorted s_dirty list, to preserve the reverse-time-ordering. This patch does the latter: if this inode was dirtied less recently than the tail inode then copy the tail inode's timestamp into this inode. This means that in rare circumstances, some inodes will be writen back later than they should have been. But the time slip will be small. Cc: Mike Waychison <mikew@google.com> Signed-off-by:

When resizing online, setup_new_group_blocks attempts to reserve a potentially very large transaction, depending on the current filesystem geometry. For some journal sizes, there may not be enough room for this transaction, and the online resize will fail. The patch below resizes & restarts the transaction as necessary while setting up the new group, and should work with even the smallest journal. Tested with something like: [root@newbox ~]# dd if=/dev/zero of=fsfile bs=1024 count=32768 [root@newbox ~]# mkfs.ext3 -b 1024 fsfile 16384 [root@newbox ~]# mount -o loop fsfile mnt/ [root@newbox ~]# resize2fs /dev/loop0 resize2fs 1.40.2 (12-Jul-2007) Filesystem at /dev/loop0 is mounted on /root/mnt; on-line resizing required old desc_blocks = 1, new_desc_blocks = 1 Performing an on-line resize of /dev/loop0 to 32768 (1k) blocks. resize2fs: No space left on device While trying to add group #2 [root@newbox ~]# dmesg | tail -n 1 JBD: resize2fs wants too many credits (258 > 256) [root@newbox ~]# With the below change, it works.

Currently arch_align_stack() is used by fs/binfmt_elf.c to randomize stack pointer inside a page. But this happens only if ELF_PLATFORM symbol is defined. ELF_PLATFORM is normally set if the architecture wants ld.so to load implementation specific libraries for optimization. And currently a lot of architectures just yield this symbol to NULL. This is the case for MIPS architecture where ELF_PLATFORM is NULL but arch_align_stack() has been redefined to do stack inside page randomization. So in this case no randomization is actually done. This patch breaks this dependency which seems to be useless and allows platforms such MIPS to do the randomization. Signed-off-by:
