blocks pre-allocated for future use. When an application calls
fallocate, it already has an idea about how large the file may grow so
there is usually little benefit to reserve extra blocks on the

power-of-2 boundaries, leaving blocks in between). CPU usage of
fallocate is not appreciably higher.  In a tight fallocate loop, CPU
usage hovers between 5%-8% with this change, and 5%-7% without it.

jbd2: fix fsync() tid wraparound bug

If an application program does not make any changes to the indirect
blocks or extent tree, i_datasync_tid will not get updated.  If there
are enough commits (i.e., 2**31) such that tid_geq()'s calculations
wrap, and there isn't a currently active transaction at the time of
the fdatasync() call, this can end up triggering a BUG_ON in
fs/jbd2/commit.c:

J_ASSERT(journal->j_running_transaction != NULL);

It's pretty rare that this can happen, since it requires the use of
fdatasync() plus *very* frequent and excessive use of fsync().  But
with the right workload, it can.

We fix this by replacing the use of tid_geq() with an equality test,
since there's only one valid transaction id that we is valid for us to
wait until it is commited: namely, the currently running transaction
(if it exists).

ext4: ignore errors when issuing discards

This is an effective revert of commit a30eec2a8: "ext4: stop issuing
discards if not supported by device".  The problem is that there are
some devices that may return errors in response to a discard request
some times but not others.  (One example would be a hybrid dm device
which concatenates an SSD and an HDD device).

By this logic, I also removed the error checking from ext4's FITRIM
code; so that an error from a discard will not stop the FITRIM from
trying to trim the rest of the file system.

unaffected by success/failure of the write to disk.

This can cause a page corruption bug when the file system's
block size is less than the architecture's VM page size.

if we have only written a single block -- we might end up

This could cause subsequent reads to get bad data.

This commit also takes the opportunity to clean up error

   - fixes ext4_end_bio() to set AS_EIO in the

     mistake.  This is needed so that fsync() will
     return an error if there was an I/O error.
   - remove the clear_buffer_dirty() call on unmapped

xfs: push the AIL from memory reclaim and periodic sync

When we are short on memory, we want to expedite the cleaning of
dirty objects.  Hence when we run short on memory, we need to kick
the AIL flushing into action to clean as many dirty objects as
quickly as possible.  To implement this, sample the lsn of the log
item at the head of the AIL and use that as the push target for the
AIL flush.

Further, we keep items in the AIL that are dirty that are not
tracked any other way, so we can get objects sitting in the AIL that
don't get written back until the AIL is pushed. Hence to get the
filesystem to the idle state, we might need to push the AIL to flush
out any remaining dirty objects sitting in the AIL. This requires
the same push mechanism as the reclaim push.

This patch also renames xfs_trans_ail_tail() to xfs_ail_min_lsn() to
match the new xfs_ail_max_lsn() function introduced in this patch.

13 years agoxfs: introduce background inode reclaim work
Dave Chinner [Fri, 8 Apr 2011 02:45:07 +0000 (12:45 +1000)]
xfs: introduce background inode reclaim work

Background inode reclaim needs to run more frequently that the XFS
syncd work is run as 30s is too long between optimal reclaim runs.
Add a new periodic work item to the xfs syncd workqueue to run a
fast, non-blocking inode reclaim scan.

Background inode reclaim is kicked by the act of marking inodes for
reclaim.  When an AG is first marked as having reclaimable inodes,
the background reclaim work is kicked. It will continue to run
periodically untill it detects that there are no more reclaimable
inodes. It will be kicked again when the first inode is queued for
reclaim.

To ensure shrinker based inode reclaim throttles to the inode
cleaning and reclaim rate but still reclaim inodes efficiently, make it kick the
background inode reclaim so that when we are low on memory we are
trying to reclaim inodes as efficiently as possible. This kick shoul
d not be necessary, but it will protect against failures to kick the
background reclaim when inodes are first dirtied.

To provide the rate throttling, make the shrinker pass do
synchronous inode reclaim so that it blocks on inodes under IO. This
means that the shrinker will reclaim inodes rather than just
skipping over them, but it does not adversely affect the rate of
reclaim because most dirty inodes are already under IO due to the
background reclaim work the shrinker kicked.

These two modifications solve one of the two OOM killer invocations
Chris Mason reported recently when running a stress testing script.
The particular workload trigger for the OOM killer invocation is
where there are more threads than CPUs all unlinking files in an
extremely memory constrained environment. Unlike other solutions,
this one does not have a performance impact on performance when
memory is not constrained or the number of concurrent threads
operating is <= to the number of CPUs.

xfs: convert ENOSPC inode flushing to use new syncd workqueue

On of the problems with the current inode flush at ENOSPC is that we
queue a flush per ENOSPC event, regardless of how many are already
queued. Thi can result in    hundreds of queued flushes, most of
which simply burn CPU scanned and do no real work. This simply slows
down allocation at ENOSPC.

We really only need one active flush at a time, and we can easily
implement that via the new xfs_syncd_wq. All we need to do is queue
a flush if one is not already active, then block waiting for the
currently active flush to complete. The result is that we only ever
have a single ENOSPC inode flush active at a time and this greatly
reduces the overhead of ENOSPC processing.

On my 2p test machine, this results in tests exercising ENOSPC
conditions running significantly faster - 042 halves execution time,
083 drops from 60s to 5s, etc - while not introducing test
regressions.

This allows us to remove the old xfssyncd threads and infrastructure
as they are no longer used.

than needed to hold the real extent list which, due to the fact the
inode is in extent format, is limited to the size of the literal
area of the inode. However, we can have thousands of delalloc
extents, resulting in an allocation size orders of magnitude larger
than is needed to hold all the real extents.

Fix this by limiting the size of the buffer being allocated to the
size of the literal area of the inodes in the filesystem (i.e. the
maximum size an inode fork can grow to).

ipv4: Fix "Set rt->rt_iif more sanely on output routes."

Commit 1018b5c01636c7c6bda31a719bda34fc631db29a ("Set rt->rt_iif more
sanely on output routes.")  breaks rt_is_{output,input}_route.

This became the cause to return "IP_PKTINFO's ->ipi_ifindex == 0".

To fix it, this does:

1) Add "int rt_route_iif;" to struct rtable

2) For input routes, always set rt_route_iif to same value as rt_iif

3) For output routes, always set rt_route_iif to zero.  Set rt_iif
   as it is done currently.

4) Change rt_is_{output,input}_route() to test rt_route_iif
