xfs: event tracing support 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.

/*
* Below are states for covering allocation transactions.
* By covering, we mean changing the h_tail_lsn in the last on-disk
* log write such that no allocation transactions will be re-done during
* recovery after a system crash. Recovery starts at the last on-disk
* log write.
*
* These states are used to insert dummy log entries to cover
* space allocation transactions which can undo non-transactional changes
* after a crash. Writes to a file with space
* already allocated do not result in any transactions. Allocations
* might include space beyond the EOF. So if we just push the EOF a
* little, the last transaction for the file could contain the wrong
* size. If there is no file system activity, after an allocation
* transaction, and the system crashes, the allocation transaction
* will get replayed and the file will be truncated. This could
* be hours/days/... after the allocation occurred.
*
* The fix for this is to do two dummy transactions when the
* system is idle. We need two dummy transaction because the h_tail_lsn
* in the log record header needs to point beyond the last possible
* non-dummy transaction. The first dummy changes the h_tail_lsn to
* the first transaction before the dummy. The second dummy causes
* h_tail_lsn to point to the first dummy. Recovery starts at h_tail_lsn.
*
* These dummy transactions get committed when everything
* is idle (after there has been some activity).
*
* There are 5 states used to control this.
*
* IDLE -- no logging has been done on the file system or
* we are done covering previous transactions.
* NEED -- logging has occurred and we need a dummy transaction
* when the log becomes idle.
* DONE -- we were in the NEED state and have committed a dummy
* transaction.
* NEED2 -- we detected that a dummy transaction has gone to the
* on disk log with no other transactions.
* DONE2 -- we committed a dummy transaction when in the NEED2 state.
*
* There are two places where we switch states:
*
* 1.) In xfs_sync, when we detect an idle log and are in NEED or NEED2.
* We commit the dummy transaction and switch to DONE or DONE2,
* respectively. In all other states, we don't do anything.
*
* 2.) When we finish writing the on-disk log (xlog_state_clean_log).
*
* No matter what state we are in, if this isn't the dummy
* transaction going out, the next state is NEED.
* So, if we aren't in the DONE or DONE2 states, the next state
* is NEED. We can't be finishing a write of the dummy record
* unless it was committed and the state switched to DONE or DONE2.
*
* If we are in the DONE state and this was a write of the
* dummy transaction, we move to NEED2.
*
* If we are in the DONE2 state and this was a write of the
* dummy transaction, we move to IDLE.
*
*
* Writing only one dummy transaction can get appended to
* one file space allocation. When this happens, the log recovery
* code replays the space allocation and a file could be truncated.
* This is why we have the NEED2 and DONE2 states before going idle.

xfs: rework per-iclog header CIL reservation For every iclog that a CIL push will use up, we need to ensure we have space reserved for the iclog header in each iclog. It is extremely difficult to do this accurately with a per-cpu counter without expensive summing of the counter in every commit. However, we know what the maximum CIL size is going to be because of the hard space limit we have, and hence we know exactly how many iclogs we are going to need to write out the CIL. We are constrained by the requirement that small transactions only have reservation space for a single iclog header built into them. At commit time we don't know how much of the current transaction reservation is made up of iclog header reservations as calculated by xfs_log_calc_unit_res() when the ticket was reserved. As larger reservations have multiple header spaces reserved, we can steal more than one iclog header reservation at a time, but we only steal the exact number needed for the given log vector size delta. As a result, we don't know exactly when we are going to steal iclog header reservations, nor do we know exactly how many we are going to need for a given CIL. To make things simple, start by calculating the worst case number of iclog headers a full CIL push will require. Record this into an atomic variable in the CIL. Then add a byte counter to the log ticket that records exactly how much iclog header space has been reserved in this ticket by xfs_log_calc_unit_res(). This tells us exactly how much space we can steal from the ticket at transaction commit time. Now, at transaction commit time, we can check if the CIL has a full iclog header reservation and, if not, steal the entire reservation the current ticket holds for iclog headers. This minimises the number of times we need to do atomic operations in the fast path, but still guarantees we get all the reservations we need.

xfs: journal IO cache flush reductions Currently every journal IO is issued as REQ_PREFLUSH | REQ_FUA to guarantee the ordering requirements the journal has w.r.t. metadata writeback. THe two ordering constraints are: 1. we cannot overwrite metadata in the journal until we guarantee that the dirty metadata has been written back in place and is stable. 2. we cannot write back dirty metadata until it has been written to the journal and guaranteed to be stable (and hence recoverable) in the journal. The ordering guarantees of #1 are provided by REQ_PREFLUSH. This causes the journal IO to issue a cache flush and wait for it to complete before issuing the write IO to the journal. Hence all completed metadata IO is guaranteed to be stable before the journal overwrites the old metadata. The ordering guarantees of #2 are provided by the REQ_FUA, which ensures the journal writes do not complete until they are on stable storage. Hence by the time the last journal IO in a checkpoint completes, we know that the entire checkpoint is on stable storage and we can unpin the dirty metadata and allow it to be written back. This is the mechanism by which ordering was first implemented in XFS way back in 2002 by commit 95d97c36e5155075ba2eb22b17562cfcc53fcf96 ("Add support for drive write cache flushing") in the xfs-archive tree. A lot has changed since then, most notably we now use delayed logging to checkpoint the filesystem to the journal rather than write each individual transaction to the journal. Cache flushes on journal IO are necessary when individual transactions are wholly contained within a single iclog. However, CIL checkpoints are single transactions that typically span hundreds to thousands of individual journal writes, and so the requirements for device cache flushing have changed. That is, the ordering rules I state above apply to ordering of atomic transactions recorded in the journal, not to the journal IO itself. Hence we need to ensure metadata is stable before we start writing a new transaction to the journal (guarantee #1), and we need to ensure the entire transaction is stable in the journal before we start metadata writeback (guarantee #2). Hence we only need a REQ_PREFLUSH on the journal IO that starts a new journal transaction to provide #1, and it is not on any other journal IO done within the context of that journal transaction. The CIL checkpoint already issues a cache flush before it starts writing to the log, so we no longer need the iclog IO to issue a REQ_REFLUSH for us. Hence if XLOG_START_TRANS is passed to xlog_write(), we no longer need to mark the first iclog in the log write with REQ_PREFLUSH for this case. As an added bonus, this ordering mechanism works for both internal and external logs, meaning we can remove the explicit data device cache flushes from the iclog write code when using external logs. Given the new ordering semantics of commit records for the CIL, we need iclogs containing commit records to issue a REQ_PREFLUSH. We also require unmount records to do this. Hence for both XLOG_COMMIT_TRANS and XLOG_UNMOUNT_TRANS xlog_write() calls we need to mark the first iclog being written with REQ_PREFLUSH. For both commit records and unmount records, we also want them immediately on stable storage, so we want to also mark the iclogs that contain these records to be marked REQ_FUA. That means if a record is split across multiple iclogs, they are all marked REQ_FUA and not just the last one so that when the transaction is completed all the parts of the record are on stable storage. And for external logs, unmount records need a pre-write data device cache flush similar to the CIL checkpoint cache pre-flush as the internal iclog write code does not do this implicitly anymore. As an optimisation, when the commit record lands in the same iclog as the journal transaction starts, we don't need to wait for anything and can simply use REQ_FUA to provide guarantee #2. This means that for fsync() heavy workloads, the cache flush behaviour is completely unchanged and there is no degradation in performance as a result of optimise the multi-IO transaction case. The most notable sign that there is less IO latency on my test machine (nvme SSDs) is that the "noiclogs" rate has dropped substantially. This metric indicates that the CIL push is blocking in xlog_get_iclog_space() waiting for iclog IO completion to occur. With 8 iclogs of 256kB, the rate is appoximately 1 noiclog event to every 4 iclog writes. IOWs, every 4th call to xlog_get_iclog_space() is blocking waiting for log IO. With the changes in this patch, this drops to 1 noiclog event for every 100 iclog writes. Hence it is clear that log IO is completing much faster than it was previously, but it is also clear that for large iclog sizes, this isn't the performance limiting factor on this hardware. With smaller iclogs (32kB), however, there is a substantial difference. With the cache flush modifications, the journal is now running at over 4000 write IOPS, and the journal throughput is largely identical to the 256kB iclogs and the noiclog event rate stays low at about 1:50 iclog writes. The existing code tops out at about 2500 IOPS as the number of cache flushes dominate performance and latency. The noiclog event rate is about 1:4, and the performance variance is quite large as the journal throughput can fall to less than half the peak sustained rate when the cache flush rate prevents metadata writeback from keeping up and the log runs out of space and throttles reservations. As a result: logbsize fsmark create rate rm -rf before 32kb 152851+/-5.3e+04 5m28s patched 32kb 221533+/-1.1e+04 5m24s before 256kb 220239+/-6.2e+03 4m58s patched 256kb 228286+/-9.2e+03 5m06s The rm -rf times are included because I ran them, but the differences are largely noise. This workload is largely metadata read IO latency bound and the changes to the journal cache flushing doesn't really make any noticable difference to behaviour apart from a reduction in noiclog events from background CIL pushing.

xfs: Introduce delayed logging core code The delayed logging code only changes in-memory structures and as such can be enabled and disabled with a mount option. Add the mount option and emit a warning that this is an experimental feature that should not be used in production yet. We also need infrastructure to track committed items that have not yet been written to the log. This is what the Committed Item List (CIL) is for. The log item also needs to be extended to track the current log vector, the associated memory buffer and it's location in the Commit Item List. Extend the log item and log vector structures to enable this tracking. To maintain the current log format for transactions with delayed logging, we need to introduce a checkpoint transaction and a context for tracking each checkpoint from initiation to transaction completion. This includes adding a log ticket for tracking space log required/used by the context checkpoint. To track all the changes we need an io vector array per log item, rather than a single array for the entire transaction. Using the new log vector structure for this requires two passes - the first to allocate the log vector structures and chain them together, and the second to fill them out. This log vector chain can then be passed to the CIL for formatting, pinning and insertion into the CIL. Formatting of the log vector chain is relatively simple - it's just a loop over the iovecs on each log vector, but it is made slightly more complex because we re-write the iovec after the copy to point back at the memory buffer we just copied into. This code also needs to pin log items. If the log item is not already tracked in this checkpoint context, then it needs to be pinned. Otherwise it is already pinned and we don't need to pin it again. The only other complexity is calculating the amount of new log space the formatting has consumed. This needs to be accounted to the transaction in progress, and the accounting is made more complex becase we need also to steal space from it for log metadata in the checkpoint transaction. Calculate all this at insert time and update all the tickets, counters, etc correctly. Once we've formatted all the log items in the transaction, attach the busy extents to the checkpoint context so the busy extents live until checkpoint completion and can be processed at that point in time. Transactions can then be freed at this point in time. Now we need to issue checkpoints - we are tracking the amount of log space used by the items in the CIL, so we can trigger background checkpoints when the space usage gets to a certain threshold. Otherwise, checkpoints need ot be triggered when a log synchronisation point is reached - a log force event. Because the log write code already handles chained log vectors, writing the transaction is trivial, too. Construct a transaction header, add it to the head of the chain and write it into the log, then issue a commit record write. Then we can release the checkpoint log ticket and attach the context to the log buffer so it can be called during Io completion to complete the checkpoint. We also need to allow for synchronising multiple in-flight checkpoints. This is needed for two things - the first is to ensure that checkpoint commit records appear in the log in the correct sequence order (so they are replayed in the correct order). The second is so that xfs_log_force_lsn() operates correctly and only flushes and/or waits for the specific sequence it was provided with. To do this we need a wait variable and a list tracking the checkpoint commits in progress. We can walk this list and wait for the checkpoints to change state or complete easily, an this provides the necessary synchronisation for correct operation in both cases.

xfs: xfs_log_force_lsn isn't passed a LSN In doing an investigation into AIL push stalls, I was looking at the log force code to see if an async CIL push could be done instead. This lead me to xfs_log_force_lsn() and looking at how it works. xfs_log_force_lsn() is only called from inode synchronisation contexts such as fsync(), and it takes the ip->i_itemp->ili_last_lsn value as the LSN to sync the log to. This gets passed to xlog_cil_force_lsn() via xfs_log_force_lsn() to flush the CIL to the journal, and then used by xfs_log_force_lsn() to flush the iclogs to the journal. The problem is that ip->i_itemp->ili_last_lsn does not store a log sequence number. What it stores is passed to it from the ->iop_committing method, which is called by xfs_log_commit_cil(). The value this passes to the iop_committing method is the CIL context sequence number that the item was committed to. As it turns out, xlog_cil_force_lsn() converts the sequence to an actual commit LSN for the related context and returns that to xfs_log_force_lsn(). xfs_log_force_lsn() overwrites it's "lsn" variable that contained a sequence with an actual LSN and then uses that to sync the iclogs. This caused me some confusion for a while, even though I originally wrote all this code a decade ago. ->iop_committing is only used by a couple of log item types, and only inode items use the sequence number it is passed. Let's clean up the API, CIL structures and inode log item to call it a sequence number, and make it clear that the high level code is using CIL sequence numbers and not on-disk LSNs for integrity synchronisation purposes.

struct xlog_ticket *ticket; /* chkpt ticket */
xfs: implement percpu cil space used calculation Now that we have the CIL percpu structures in place, implement the space used counter as a per-cpu counter. We have to be really careful now about ensuring that the checks and updates run without arbitrary delays, which means they need to run with pre-emption disabled. We do this by careful placement of the get_cpu_ptr/put_cpu_ptr calls to access the per-cpu structures for that CPU. We need to be able to reliably detect that the CIL has reached the hard limit threshold so we can take extra reservations for the iclog headers when the space used overruns the original reservation. hence we factor out xlog_cil_over_hard_limit() from xlog_cil_push_background(). The global CIL space used is an atomic variable that is backed by per-cpu aggregation to minimise the number of atomic updates we do to the global state in the fast path. While we are under the soft limit, we aggregate only when the per-cpu aggregation is over the proportion of the soft limit assigned to that CPU. This means that all CPUs can use all but one byte of their aggregation threshold and we will not go over the soft limit. Hence once we detect that we've gone over both a per-cpu aggregation threshold and the soft limit, we know that we have only exceeded the soft limit by one per-cpu aggregation threshold. Even if all CPUs hit this at the same time, we can't be over the hard limit, so we can run an aggregation back into the atomic counter at this point and still be under the hard limit. At this point, we will be over the soft limit and hence we'll aggregate into the global atomic used space directly rather than the per-cpu counters, hence providing accurate detection of hard limit excursion for accounting and reservation purposes. Hence we get the best of both worlds - lockless, scalable per-cpu fast path plus accurate, atomic detection of hard limit excursion.

struct list_head committing; /* ctx committing list */
xfs: CIL work is serialised, not pipelined Because we use a single work structure attached to the CIL rather than the CIL context, we can only queue a single work item at a time. This results in the CIL being single threaded and limits performance when it becomes CPU bound. The design of the CIL is that it is pipelined and multiple commits can be running concurrently, but the way the work is currently implemented means that it is not pipelining as it was intended. The critical work to switch the CIL context can take a few milliseconds to run, but the rest of the CIL context flush can take hundreds of milliseconds to complete. The context switching is the serialisation point of the CIL, once the context has been switched the rest of the context push can run asynchrnously with all other context pushes. Hence we can move the work to the CIL context so that we can run multiple CIL pushes at the same time and spread the majority of the work out over multiple CPUs. We can keep the per-cpu CIL commit state on the CIL rather than the context, because the context is pinned to the CIL until the switch is done and we aggregate and drain the per-cpu state held on the CIL during the context switch. However, because we no longer serialise the CIL work, we can have effectively unlimited CIL pushes in progress. We don't want to do this - not only does it create contention on the iclogs and the state machine locks, we can run the log right out of space with outstanding pushes. Instead, limit the work concurrency to 4 concurrent works being processed at a time. This is enough concurrency to remove the CIL from being a CPU bound bottleneck but not enough to create new contention points or unbound concurrency issues.

xfs: fix per-cpu CIL structure aggregation racing with dying cpus In commit 7c8ade2121200 ("xfs: implement percpu cil space used calculation"), the XFS committed (log) item list code was converted to use per-cpu lists and space tracking to reduce cpu contention when multiple threads are modifying different parts of the filesystem and hence end up contending on the log structures during transaction commit. Each CPU tracks its own commit items and space usage, and these do not have to be merged into the main CIL until either someone wants to push the CIL items, or we run over a soft threshold and switch to slower (but more accurate) accounting with atomics. Unfortunately, the for_each_cpu iteration suffers from the same race with cpu dying problem that was identified in commit 8b57b11cca88f ("pcpcntrs: fix dying cpu summation race") -- CPUs are removed from cpu_online_mask before the CPUHP_XFS_DEAD callback gets called. As a result, both CIL percpu structure aggregation functions fail to collect the items and accounted space usage at the correct point in time. If we're lucky, the items that are collected from the online cpus exceed the space given to those cpus, and the log immediately shuts down in xlog_cil_insert_items due to the (apparent) log reservation overrun. This happens periodically with generic/650, which exercises cpu hotplug vs. the filesystem code: smpboot: CPU 3 is now offline XFS (sda3): ctx ticket reservation ran out. Need to up reservation XFS (sda3): ticket reservation summary: XFS (sda3): unit res = 9268 bytes XFS (sda3): current res = -40 bytes XFS (sda3): original count = 1 XFS (sda3): remaining count = 1 XFS (sda3): Filesystem has been shut down due to log error (0x2). Applying the same sort of fix from 8b57b11cca88f to the CIL code seems to make the generic/650 problem go away, but I've been told that tglx was not happy when he saw: "...the only thing we actually need to care about is that percpu_counter_sum() iterates dying CPUs. That's trivial to do, and when there are no CPUs dying, it has no addition overhead except for a cpumask_or() operation." The CPU hotplug code is rather complex and difficult to understand and I don't want to try to understand the cpu hotplug locking well enough to use cpu_dying mask. Furthermore, there's a performance improvement that could be had here. Attach a private cpu mask to the CIL structure so that we can track exactly which cpus have accessed the percpu data at all. It doesn't matter if the cpu has since gone offline; log item aggregation will still find the items. Better yet, we skip cpus that have not recently logged anything. Worse yet, Ritesh Harjani and Eric Sandeen both reported today that CPU hot remove racing with an xfs mount can crash if the cpu_dead notifier tries to access the log but the mount hasn't yet set up the log.

Once we've formatted all the log items in the transaction, attach the busy extents to the checkpoint context so the busy extents live until checkpoint completion and can be processed at that point in time. Transactions can then be freed at this point in time. Now we need to issue checkpoints - we are tracking the amount of log space used by the items in the CIL, so we can trigger background checkpoints when the space usage gets to a certain threshold.

Because the log write code already handles chained log vectors, writing the transaction is trivial, too. Construct a transaction header, add it to the head of the chain and write it into the log, then issue a commit record write. Then we can release the checkpoint log ticket and attach the context to the log buffer so it can be called during Io completion to complete the checkpoint. We also need to allow for synchronising multiple in-flight checkpoints. This is needed for two things - the first is to ensure that checkpoint commit records appear in the log in the correct sequence order (so they are replayed in the correct order). The second is so that xfs_log_force_lsn() operates correctly and only flushes and/or waits for the specific sequence it was provided with. To do this we need a wait variable and a list tracking the checkpoint commits in progress. We can walk this list and wait for the checkpoints to change state or complete easily, an this provides the necessary synchronisation for correct operation in both cases.

xfs: rework per-iclog header CIL reservation For every iclog that a CIL push will use up, we need to ensure we have space reserved for the iclog header in each iclog. It is extremely difficult to do this accurately with a per-cpu counter without expensive summing of the counter in every commit. However, we know what the maximum CIL size is going to be because of the hard space limit we have, and hence we know exactly how many iclogs we are going to need to write out the CIL. We are constrained by the requirement that small transactions only have reservation space for a single iclog header built into them. At commit time we don't know how much of the current transaction reservation is made up of iclog header reservations as calculated by xfs_log_calc_unit_res() when the ticket was reserved. As larger reservations have multiple header spaces reserved, we can steal more than one iclog header reservation at a time, but we only steal the exact number needed for the given log vector size delta. As a result, we don't know exactly when we are going to steal iclog header reservations, nor do we know exactly how many we are going to need for a given CIL. To make things simple, start by calculating the worst case number of iclog headers a full CIL push will require. Record this into an atomic variable in the CIL. Then add a byte counter to the log ticket that records exactly how much iclog header space has been reserved in this ticket by xfs_log_calc_unit_res(). This tells us exactly how much space we can steal from the ticket at transaction commit time. Now, at transaction commit time, we can check if the CIL has a full iclog header reservation and, if not, steal the entire reservation the current ticket holds for iclog headers. This minimises the number of times we need to do atomic operations in the fast path, but still guarantees we get all the reservations we need.

xfs: Introduce delayed logging core code The delayed logging code only changes in-memory structures and as such can be enabled and disabled with a mount option. Add the mount option and emit a warning that this is an experimental feature that should not be used in production yet. We also need infrastructure to track committed items that have not yet been written to the log. This is what the Committed Item List (CIL) is for. The log item also needs to be extended to track the current log vector, the associated memory buffer and it's location in the Commit Item List. Extend the log item and log vector structures to enable this tracking. To maintain the current log format for transactions with delayed logging, we need to introduce a checkpoint transaction and a context for tracking each checkpoint from initiation to transaction completion. This includes adding a log ticket for tracking space log required/used by the context checkpoint. To track all the changes we need an io vector array per log item, rather than a single array for the entire transaction. Using the new log vector structure for this requires two passes - the first to allocate the log vector structures and chain them together, and the second to fill them out. This log vector chain can then be passed to the CIL for formatting, pinning and insertion into the CIL. Formatting of the log vector chain is relatively simple - it's just a loop over the iovecs on each log vector, but it is made slightly more complex because we re-write the iovec after the copy to point back at the memory buffer we just copied into. This code also needs to pin log items. If the log item is not already tracked in this checkpoint context, then it needs to be pinned. Otherwise it is already pinned and we don't need to pin it again. The only other complexity is calculating the amount of new log space the formatting has consumed. This needs to be accounted to the transaction in progress, and the accounting is made more complex becase we need also to steal space from it for log metadata in the checkpoint transaction. Calculate all this at insert time and update all the tickets, counters, etc correctly. Once we've formatted all the log items in the transaction, attach the busy extents to the checkpoint context so the busy extents live until checkpoint completion and can be processed at that point in time. Transactions can then be freed at this point in time. Now we need to issue checkpoints - we are tracking the amount of log space used by the items in the CIL, so we can trigger background checkpoints when the space usage gets to a certain threshold. Otherwise, checkpoints need ot be triggered when a log synchronisation point is reached - a log force event. Because the log write code already handles chained log vectors, writing the transaction is trivial, too. Construct a transaction header, add it to the head of the chain and write it into the log, then issue a commit record write. Then we can release the checkpoint log ticket and attach the context to the log buffer so it can be called during Io completion to complete the checkpoint.

xfs: xfs_log_force_lsn isn't passed a LSN In doing an investigation into AIL push stalls, I was looking at the log force code to see if an async CIL push could be done instead. This lead me to xfs_log_force_lsn() and looking at how it works. xfs_log_force_lsn() is only called from inode synchronisation contexts such as fsync(), and it takes the ip->i_itemp->ili_last_lsn value as the LSN to sync the log to. This gets passed to xlog_cil_force_lsn() via xfs_log_force_lsn() to flush the CIL to the journal, and then used by xfs_log_force_lsn() to flush the iclogs to the journal. The problem is that ip->i_itemp->ili_last_lsn does not store a log sequence number. What it stores is passed to it from the ->iop_committing method, which is called by xfs_log_commit_cil(). The value this passes to the iop_committing method is the CIL context sequence number that the item was committed to. As it turns out, xlog_cil_force_lsn() converts the sequence to an actual commit LSN for the related context and returns that to xfs_log_force_lsn(). xfs_log_force_lsn() overwrites it's "lsn" variable that contained a sequence with an actual LSN and then uses that to sync the iclogs. This caused me some confusion for a while, even though I originally wrote all this code a decade ago. ->iop_committing is only used by a couple of log item types, and only inode items use the sequence number it is passed. Let's clean up the API, CIL structures and inode log item to call it a sequence number, and make it clear that the high level code is using CIL sequence numbers and not on-disk LSNs for integrity synchronisation purposes.

xfs: AIL needs asynchronous CIL forcing The AIL pushing is stalling on log forces when it comes across pinned items. This is happening on removal workloads where the AIL is dominated by stale items that are removed from AIL when the checkpoint that marks the items stale is committed to the journal. This results is relatively few items in the AIL, but those that are are often pinned as directories items are being removed from are still being logged. As a result, many push cycles through the CIL will first issue a blocking log force to unpin the items. This can take some time to complete, with tracing regularly showing push delays of half a second and sometimes up into the range of several seconds. Sequences like this aren't uncommon: .... 399.829437: xfsaild: last lsn 0x11002dd000 count 101 stuck 101 flushing 0 tout 20 <wanted 20ms, got 270ms delay> 400.099622: xfsaild: target 0x11002f3600, prev 0x11002f3600, last lsn 0x0 400.099623: xfsaild: first lsn 0x11002f3600 400.099679: xfsaild: last lsn 0x1100305000 count 16 stuck 11 flushing 0 tout 50 <wanted 50ms, got 500ms delay> 400.589348: xfsaild: target 0x110032e600, prev 0x11002f3600, last lsn 0x0 400.589349: xfsaild: first lsn 0x1100305000 400.589595: xfsaild: last lsn 0x110032e600 count 156 stuck 101 flushing 30 tout 50 <wanted 50ms, got 460ms delay> 400.950341: xfsaild: target 0x1100353000, prev 0x110032e600, last lsn 0x0 400.950343: xfsaild: first lsn 0x1100317c00 400.950436: xfsaild: last lsn 0x110033d200 count 105 stuck 101 flushing 0 tout 20 <wanted 20ms, got 200ms delay> 401.142333: xfsaild: target 0x1100361600, prev 0x1100353000, last lsn 0x0 401.142334: xfsaild: first lsn 0x110032e600 401.142535: xfsaild: last lsn 0x1100353000 count 122 stuck 101 flushing 8 tout 10 <wanted 10ms, got 10ms delay> 401.154323: xfsaild: target 0x1100361600, prev 0x1100361600, last lsn 0x1100353000 401.154328: xfsaild: first lsn 0x1100353000 401.154389: xfsaild: last lsn 0x1100353000 count 101 stuck 101 flushing 0 tout 20 <wanted 20ms, got 300ms delay> 401.451525: xfsaild: target 0x1100361600, prev 0x1100361600, last lsn 0x0 401.451526: xfsaild: first lsn 0x1100353000 401.451804: xfsaild: last lsn 0x1100377200 count 170 stuck 22 flushing 122 tout 50 <wanted 50ms, got 500ms delay> 401.933581: xfsaild: target 0x1100361600, prev 0x1100361600, last lsn 0x0 .... In each of these cases, every AIL pass saw 101 log items stuck on the AIL (pinned) with very few other items being found. Each pass, a log force was issued, and delay between last/first is the sleep time + the sync log force time. Some of these 101 items pinned the tail of the log. The tail of the log does slowly creep forward (first lsn), but the problem is that the log is actually out of reservation space because it's been running so many transactions that stale items that never reach the AIL but consume log space. Hence we have a largely empty AIL, with long term pins on items that pin the tail of the log that don't get pushed frequently enough to keep log space available. The problem is the hundreds of milliseconds that we block in the log force pushing the CIL out to disk. The AIL should not be stalled like this - it needs to run and flush items that are at the tail of the log with minimal latency. What we really need to do is trigger a log flush, but then not wait for it at all - we've already done our waiting for stuff to complete when we backed off prior to the log force being issued. Even if we remove the XFS_LOG_SYNC from the xfs_log_force() call, we still do a blocking flush of the CIL and that is what is causing the issue. Hence we need a new interface for the CIL to trigger an immediate background push of the CIL to get it moving faster but not to wait on that to occur. While the CIL is pushing, the AIL can also be pushing. We already have an internal interface to do this - xlog_cil_push_now() - but we need a wrapper for it to be used externally. xlog_cil_force_seq() can easily be extended to do what we need as it already implements the synchronous CIL push via xlog_cil_push_now(). Add the necessary flags and "push current sequence" semantics to xlog_cil_force_seq() and convert the AIL pushing to use it. One of the complexities here is that the CIL push does not guarantee that the commit record for the CIL checkpoint is written to disk. The current log force ensures this by submitting the current ACTIVE iclog that the commit record was written to. We need the CIL to actually write this commit record to disk for an async push to ensure that the checkpoint actually makes it to disk and unpins the pinned items in the checkpoint on completion. Hence we need to pass down to the CIL push that we are doing an async flush so that it can switch out the commit_iclog if necessary to get written to disk when the commit iclog is finally released.

xfs: order CIL checkpoint start records Because log recovery depends on strictly ordered start records as well as strictly ordered commit records. This is a zero day bug in the way XFS writes pipelined transactions to the journal which is exposed by fixing the zero day bug that prevents the CIL from pipelining checkpoints. This re-introduces explicit concurrent commits back into the on-disk journal and hence out of order start records. The XFS journal commit code has never ordered start records and we have relied on strict commit record ordering for correct recovery ordering of concurrently written transactions. Unfortunately, root cause analysis uncovered the fact that log recovery uses the LSN of the start record for transaction commit processing. Hence, whilst the commits are processed in strict order by recovery, the LSNs associated with the commits can be out of order and so recovery may stamp incorrect LSNs into objects and/or misorder intents in the AIL for later processing. This can result in log recovery failures and/or on disk corruption, sometimes silent. Because this is a long standing log recovery issue, we can't just fix log recovery and call it good. This still leaves older kernels susceptible to recovery failures and corruption when replaying a log from a kernel that pipelines checkpoints. There is also the issue that in-memory ordering for AIL pushing and data integrity operations are based on checkpoint start LSNs, and if the start LSN is incorrect in the journal, it is also incorrect in memory. Hence there's really only one choice for fixing this zero-day bug: we need to strictly order checkpoint start records in ascending sequence order in the log, the same way we already strictly order commit records.

xfs: implement percpu cil space used calculation Now that we have the CIL percpu structures in place, implement the space used counter as a per-cpu counter. We have to be really careful now about ensuring that the checks and updates run without arbitrary delays, which means they need to run with pre-emption disabled. We do this by careful placement of the get_cpu_ptr/put_cpu_ptr calls to access the per-cpu structures for that CPU. We need to be able to reliably detect that the CIL has reached the hard limit threshold so we can take extra reservations for the iclog headers when the space used overruns the original reservation. hence we factor out xlog_cil_over_hard_limit() from xlog_cil_push_background(). The global CIL space used is an atomic variable that is backed by per-cpu aggregation to minimise the number of atomic updates we do to the global state in the fast path. While we are under the soft limit, we aggregate only when the per-cpu aggregation is over the proportion of the soft limit assigned to that CPU. This means that all CPUs can use all but one byte of their aggregation threshold and we will not go over the soft limit. Hence once we detect that we've gone over both a per-cpu aggregation threshold and the soft limit, we know that we have only exceeded the soft limit by one per-cpu aggregation threshold. Even if all CPUs hit this at the same time, we can't be over the hard limit, so we can run an aggregation back into the atomic counter at this point and still be under the hard limit. At this point, we will be over the soft limit and hence we'll aggregate into the global atomic used space directly rather than the per-cpu counters, hence providing accurate detection of hard limit excursion for accounting and reservation purposes. Hence we get the best of both worlds - lockless, scalable per-cpu fast path plus accurate, atomic detection of hard limit excursion.

IOWs, the xfsaild appeared to be stuck on buffers that it could not push out. Further investigation indicated that it was trying to push out inode buffers that were pinned and/or locked. The xfsbufd was also getting woken at the same frequency (by the xfsaild, no doubt) to push out delayed write buffers. The xfsbufd was not making any progress because all the buffers in the delwri queue were pinned. This scan- and-make-no-progress dance went one in the trace for some seconds, before the xfssyncd came along an issued a log force, and then things started going again. However, I noticed something strange about the log force - there were way too many IO's issued. 516 log buffers were written, to be exact. That added up to 129MB of log IO, which got me very interested because it's almost exactly 25% of the size of the log. He delayed logging code is suppose to aggregate the minimum of 25% of the log or 8MB worth of changes before flushing. That's what really puzzled me - why did a log force write 129MB instead of only 8MB? Essentially what has happened is that no CIL pushes had occurred since the previous tail push which cleared out 25% of the log space. That caused all the new transactions to block because there wasn't log space for them, but they kick the xfsaild to push the tail. However, the xfsaild was not making progress because there were buffers it could not lock and flush, and the xfsbufd could not flush them because they were pinned. As a result, both the xfsaild and the xfsbufd could not move the tail of the log forward without the CIL first committing. The cause of the problem was that the background CIL push, which should happen when 8MB of aggregated changes have been committed, is being held off by the concurrent transaction commit load. The background push does a down_write_trylock() which will fail if there is a concurrent transaction commit holding the push lock in read mode. With 8 CPUs all doing transactions as fast as they can, there was enough concurrent transaction commits to hold off the background push until tail-pushing could no longer free log space, and the halt would occur. It should be noted that there is no reason why it would halt at 25% of log space used by a single CIL checkpoint. This bug could definitely violate the "no transaction should be larger than half the log" requirement and hence result in corruption if the system crashed under heavy load. This sort of bug is exactly the reason why delayed logging was tagged as experimental.... The fix is to start blocking background pushes once the threshold has been exceeded. Rework the threshold calculations to keep the amount of log space a CIL checkpoint can use to below that of the AIL push threshold to avoid the problem completely.

* The amount of log space we allow the CIL to aggregate is difficult to size.
* Whatever we choose, we have to make sure we can get a reservation for the
* log space effectively, that it is large enough to capture sufficient
* relogging to reduce log buffer IO significantly, but it is not too large for
* the log or induces too much latency when writing out through the iclogs. We
* track both space consumed and the number of vectors in the checkpoint
* context, so we need to decide which to use for limiting.
*
* Every log buffer we write out during a push needs a header reserved, which
* is at least one sector and more for v2 logs. Hence we need a reservation of
* at least 512 bytes per 32k of log space just for the LR headers. That means
* 16KB of reservation per megabyte of delayed logging space we will consume,
* plus various headers. The number of headers will vary based on the num of
* io vectors, so limiting on a specific number of vectors is going to result
* in transactions of varying size. IOWs, it is more consistent to track and
* limit space consumed in the log rather than by the number of objects being
* logged in order to prevent checkpoint ticket overruns.
*
* Further, use of static reservations through the log grant mechanism is
* problematic. It introduces a lot of complexity (e.g. reserve grant vs write
* grant) and a significant deadlock potential because regranting write space
* can block on log pushes. Hence if we have to regrant log space during a log
* push, we can deadlock.
*
* However, we can avoid this by use of a dynamic "reservation stealing"
* technique during transaction commit whereby unused reservation space in the
* transaction ticket is transferred to the CIL ctx commit ticket to cover the
* space needed by the checkpoint transaction. This means that we never need to
* specifically reserve space for the CIL checkpoint transaction, nor do we
* need to regrant space once the checkpoint completes. This also means the
* checkpoint transaction ticket is specific to the checkpoint context, rather
* than the CIL itself.

xfs: force background CIL push under sustained load I have been seeing occasional pauses in transaction throughput up to 30s long under heavy parallel workloads.

xfs: Lower CIL flush limit for large logs The current CIL size aggregation limit is 1/8th the log size. This means for large logs we might be aggregating at least 250MB of dirty objects in memory before the CIL is flushed to the journal. With CIL shadow buffers sitting around, this means the CIL is often consuming >500MB of temporary memory that is all allocated under GFP_NOFS conditions. Flushing the CIL can take some time to do if there is other IO ongoing, and can introduce substantial log force latency by itself. It also pins the memory until the objects are in the AIL and can be written back and reclaimed by shrinkers. Hence this threshold also tends to determine the minimum amount of memory XFS can operate in under heavy modification without triggering the OOM killer. Modify the CIL space limit to prevent such huge amounts of pinned metadata from aggregating. We can have 2MB of log IO in flight at once, so limit aggregation to 16x this size. This threshold was chosen as it little impact on performance (on 16-way fsmark) or log traffic but pins a lot less memory on large logs especially under heavy memory pressure. An aggregation limit of 8x had 5-10% performance degradation and a 50% increase in log throughput for the same workload, so clearly that was too small for highly concurrent workloads on large logs. This was found via trace analysis of AIL behaviour. e.g. insertion from a single CIL flush: xfs_ail_insert: old lsn 0/0 new lsn 1/3033090 type XFS_LI_INODE flags IN_AIL $ grep xfs_ail_insert /mnt/scratch/s.t |grep "new lsn 1/3033090" |wc -l 1721823 $ So there were 1.7 million objects inserted into the AIL from this CIL checkpoint, the first at 2323.392108, the last at 2325.667566 which was the end of the trace (i.e. it hadn't finished).

* In order to keep background CIL push efficient, we only need to ensure the
* CIL is large enough to maintain sufficient in-memory relogging to avoid
* repeated physical writes of frequently modified metadata. If we allow the CIL
* to grow to a substantial fraction of the log, then we may be pinning hundreds
* of megabytes of metadata in memory until the CIL flushes. This can cause
* issues when we are running low on memory - pinned memory cannot be reclaimed,
* and the CIL consumes a lot of memory. Hence we need to set an upper physical
* size limit for the CIL that limits the maximum amount of memory pinned by the
* CIL but does not limit performance by reducing relogging efficiency
* significantly.
*
* As such, the CIL push threshold ends up being the smaller of two thresholds:
* - a threshold large enough that it allows CIL to be pushed and progress to be
* made without excessive blocking of incoming transaction commits. This is
* defined to be 12.5% of the log space - half the 25% push threshold of the
* AIL.
* - small enough that it doesn't pin excessive amounts of memory but maintains
* close to peak relogging efficiency. This is defined to be 16x the iclog
* buffer window (32MB) as measurements have shown this to be roughly the
* point of diminishing performance increases under highly concurrent
* modification workloads.
*
* To prevent the CIL from overflowing upper commit size bounds, we introduce a
* new threshold at which we block committing transactions until the background
* CIL commit commences and switches to a new context. While this is not a hard
* limit, it forces the process committing a transaction to the CIL to block and
* yeild the CPU, giving the CIL push work a chance to be scheduled and start
* work. This prevents a process running lots of transactions from overfilling
* the CIL because it is not yielding the CPU. We set the blocking limit at
* twice the background push space threshold so we keep in line with the AIL
* push thresholds.
*
* Note: this is not a -hard- limit as blocking is applied after the transaction
* is inserted into the CIL and the push has been triggered. It is largely a
* throttling mechanism that allows the CIL push to be scheduled and run. A hard
* limit will be difficult to implement without introducing global serialisation
* in the CIL commit fast path, and it's not at all clear that we actually need
* such hard limits given the ~7 years we've run without a hard limit before
* finding the first situation where a checkpoint size overflow actually
* occurred. Hence the simple throttle, and an ASSERT check to tell us that
* we've overrun the max size.

xfs: Introduce delayed logging core code The delayed logging code only changes in-memory structures and as such can be enabled and disabled with a mount option. Add the mount option and emit a warning that this is an experimental feature that should not be used in production yet. We also need infrastructure to track committed items that have not yet been written to the log. This is what the Committed Item List (CIL) is for. The log item also needs to be extended to track the current log vector, the associated memory buffer and it's location in the Commit Item List. Extend the log item and log vector structures to enable this tracking. To maintain the current log format for transactions with delayed logging, we need to introduce a checkpoint transaction and a context for tracking each checkpoint from initiation to transaction completion. This includes adding a log ticket for tracking space log required/used by the context checkpoint. To track all the changes we need an io vector array per log item, rather than a single array for the entire transaction. Using the new log vector structure for this requires two passes - the first to allocate the log vector structures and chain them together, and the second to fill them out. This log vector chain can then be passed to the CIL for formatting, pinning and insertion into the CIL. Formatting of the log vector chain is relatively simple - it's just a loop over the iovecs on each log vector, but it is made slightly more complex because we re-write the iovec after the copy to point back at the memory buffer we just copied into. This code also needs to pin log items. If the log item is not already tracked in this checkpoint context, then it needs to be pinned. Otherwise it is already pinned and we don't need to pin it again. The only other complexity is calculating the amount of new log space the formatting has consumed. This needs to be accounted to the transaction in progress, and the accounting is made more complex becase we need also to steal space from it for log metadata in the checkpoint transaction. Calculate all this at insert time and update all the tickets, counters, etc correctly. Once we've formatted all the log items in the transaction, attach the busy extents to the checkpoint context so the busy extents live until checkpoint completion and can be processed at that point in time. Transactions can then be freed at this point in time. Now we need to issue checkpoints - we are tracking the amount of log space used by the items in the CIL, so we can trigger background checkpoints when the space usage gets to a certain threshold. Otherwise, checkpoints need ot be triggered when a log synchronisation point is reached - a log force event. Because the log write code already handles chained log vectors, writing the transaction is trivial, too. Construct a transaction header, add it to the head of the chain and write it into the log, then issue a commit record write. Then we can release the checkpoint log ticket and attach the context to the log buffer so it can be called during Io completion to complete the checkpoint. We also need to allow for synchronising multiple in-flight checkpoints. This is needed for two things - the first is to ensure that checkpoint commit records appear in the log in the correct sequence order (so they are replayed in the correct order). The second is so that xfs_log_force_lsn() operates correctly and only flushes and/or waits for the specific sequence it was provided with. To do this we need a wait variable and a list tracking the checkpoint commits in progress. We can walk this list and wait for the checkpoints to change state or complete easily, an this provides the necessary synchronisation for correct operation in both cases.

xfs: use xfs_defer_pending objects to recover intent items commit 03f7767c9f6120ac933378fdec3bfd78bf07bc11 upstream. One thing I never quite got around to doing is porting the log intent item recovery code to reconstruct the deferred pending work state. As a result, each intent item open codes xfs_defer_finish_one in its recovery method, because that's what the EFI code did before xfs_defer.c even existed. This is a gross thing to have left unfixed -- if an EFI cannot proceed due to busy extents, we end up creating separate new EFIs for each unfinished work item, which is a change in behavior from what runtime would have done. Worse yet, Long Li pointed out that there's a UAF in the recovery code. The ->commit_pass2 function adds the intent item to the AIL and drops the refcount. The one remaining refcount is now owned by the recovery mechanism (aka the log intent items in the AIL) with the intent of giving the refcount to the intent done item in the ->iop_recover function. However, if something fails later in recovery, xlog_recover_finish will walk the recovered intent items in the AIL and release them. If the CIL hasn't been pushed before that point (which is possible since we don't force the log until later) then the intent done release will try to free its associated intent, which has already been freed. This patch starts to address this mess by having the ->commit_pass2 functions recreate the xfs_defer_pending state. The next few patches will fix the recovery functions. Signed-off-by: Darrick J.

xfs: xfs_do_force_shutdown needs to block racing shutdowns When we call xfs_forced_shutdown(), the caller often expects the filesystem to be completely shut down when it returns. However, if we have racing xfs_forced_shutdown() calls, the first caller sets the mount shutdown flag then goes to shutdown the log. The second caller sees the mount shutdown flag and returns immediately - it does not wait for the log to be shut down. Unfortunately, xfs_forced_shutdown() is used in some places that expect it to completely shut down the filesystem before it returns (e.g. xfs_trans_log_inode()). As such, returning before the log has been shut down leaves us in a place where the transaction failed to complete correctly but we still call xfs_trans_commit(). This situation arises because xfs_trans_log_inode() does not return an error and instead calls xfs_force_shutdown() to ensure that the transaction being committed is aborted. Unfortunately, we have a race condition where xfs_trans_commit() needs to check xlog_is_shutdown() because it can't abort log items before the log is shut down, but it needs to use xfs_is_shutdown() because xfs_forced_shutdown() does not block waiting for the log to shut down. To fix this conundrum, first we make all calls to xfs_forced_shutdown() block until the log is also shut down. This means we can then safely use xfs_forced_shutdown() as a mechanism that ensures the currently running transaction will be aborted by xfs_trans_commit() regardless of the shutdown check it uses.

xfs: Introduce delayed logging core code The delayed logging code only changes in-memory structures and as such can be enabled and disabled with a mount option. Add the mount option and emit a warning that this is an experimental feature that should not be used in production yet. We also need infrastructure to track committed items that have not yet been written to the log. This is what the Committed Item List (CIL) is for. The log item also needs to be extended to track the current log vector, the associated memory buffer and it's location in the Commit Item List. Extend the log item and log vector structures to enable this tracking. To maintain the current log format for transactions with delayed logging, we need to introduce a checkpoint transaction and a context for tracking each checkpoint from initiation to transaction completion. This includes adding a log ticket for tracking space log required/used by the context checkpoint. To track all the changes we need an io vector array per log item, rather than a single array for the entire transaction. Using the new log vector structure for this requires two passes - the first to allocate the log vector structures and chain them together, and the second to fill them out. This log vector chain can then be passed to the CIL for formatting, pinning and insertion into the CIL. Formatting of the log vector chain is relatively simple - it's just a loop over the iovecs on each log vector, but it is made slightly more complex because we re-write the iovec after the copy to point back at the memory buffer we just copied into. This code also needs to pin log items. If the log item is not already tracked in this checkpoint context, then it needs to be pinned. Otherwise it is already pinned and we don't need to pin it again. The only other complexity is calculating the amount of new log space the formatting has consumed. This needs to be accounted to the transaction in progress, and the accounting is made more complex becase we need also to steal space from it for log metadata in the checkpoint transaction. Calculate all this at insert time and update all the tickets, counters, etc correctly. Once we've formatted all the log items in the transaction, attach the busy extents to the checkpoint context so the busy extents live until checkpoint completion and can be processed at that point in time. Transactions can then be freed at this point in time. Now we need to issue checkpoints - we are tracking the amount of log space used by the items in the CIL, so we can trigger background checkpoints when the space usage gets to a certain threshold. Otherwise, checkpoints need ot be triggered when a log synchronisation point is reached - a log force event. Because the log write code already handles chained log vectors, writing the transaction is trivial, too. Construct a transaction header, add it to the head of the chain and write it into the log, then issue a commit record write.

xfs: AIL needs asynchronous CIL forcing The AIL pushing is stalling on log forces when it comes across pinned items. This is happening on removal workloads where the AIL is dominated by stale items that are removed from AIL when the checkpoint that marks the items stale is committed to the journal. This results is relatively few items in the AIL, but those that are are often pinned as directories items are being removed from are still being logged. As a result, many push cycles through the CIL will first issue a blocking log force to unpin the items. This can take some time to complete, with tracing regularly showing push delays of half a second and sometimes up into the range of several seconds. Sequences like this aren't uncommon: .... 399.829437: xfsaild: last lsn 0x11002dd000 count 101 stuck 101 flushing 0 tout 20 <wanted 20ms, got 270ms delay> 400.099622: xfsaild: target 0x11002f3600, prev 0x11002f3600, last lsn 0x0 400.099623: xfsaild: first lsn 0x11002f3600 400.099679: xfsaild: last lsn 0x1100305000 count 16 stuck 11 flushing 0 tout 50 <wanted 50ms, got 500ms delay> 400.589348: xfsaild: target 0x110032e600, prev 0x11002f3600, last lsn 0x0 400.589349: xfsaild: first lsn 0x1100305000 400.589595: xfsaild: last lsn 0x110032e600 count 156 stuck 101 flushing 30 tout 50 <wanted 50ms, got 460ms delay> 400.950341: xfsaild: target 0x1100353000, prev 0x110032e600, last lsn 0x0 400.950343: xfsaild: first lsn 0x1100317c00 400.950436: xfsaild: last lsn 0x110033d200 count 105 stuck 101 flushing 0 tout 20 <wanted 20ms, got 200ms delay> 401.142333: xfsaild: target 0x1100361600, prev 0x1100353000, last lsn 0x0 401.142334: xfsaild: first lsn 0x110032e600 401.142535: xfsaild: last lsn 0x1100353000 count 122 stuck 101 flushing 8 tout 10 <wanted 10ms, got 10ms delay> 401.154323: xfsaild: target 0x1100361600, prev 0x1100361600, last lsn 0x1100353000 401.154328: xfsaild: first lsn 0x1100353000 401.154389: xfsaild: last lsn 0x1100353000 count 101 stuck 101 flushing 0 tout 20 <wanted 20ms, got 300ms delay> 401.451525: xfsaild: target 0x1100361600, prev 0x1100361600, last lsn 0x0 401.451526: xfsaild: first lsn 0x1100353000 401.451804: xfsaild: last lsn 0x1100377200 count 170 stuck 22 flushing 122 tout 50 <wanted 50ms, got 500ms delay> 401.933581: xfsaild: target 0x1100361600, prev 0x1100361600, last lsn 0x0 .... In each of these cases, every AIL pass saw 101 log items stuck on the AIL (pinned) with very few other items being found. Each pass, a log force was issued, and delay between last/first is the sleep time + the sync log force time. Some of these 101 items pinned the tail of the log. The tail of the log does slowly creep forward (first lsn), but the problem is that the log is actually out of reservation space because it's been running so many transactions that stale items that never reach the AIL but consume log space. Hence we have a largely empty AIL, with long term pins on items that pin the tail of the log that don't get pushed frequently enough to keep log space available. The problem is the hundreds of milliseconds that we block in the log force pushing the CIL out to disk. The AIL should not be stalled like this - it needs to run and flush items that are at the tail of the log with minimal latency. What we really need to do is trigger a log flush, but then not wait for it at all - we've already done our waiting for stuff to complete when we backed off prior to the log force being issued. Even if we remove the XFS_LOG_SYNC from the xfs_log_force() call, we still do a blocking flush of the CIL and that is what is causing the issue. Hence we need a new interface for the CIL to trigger an immediate background push of the CIL to get it moving faster but not to wait on that to occur. While the CIL is pushing, the AIL can also be pushing. We already have an internal interface to do this - xlog_cil_push_now() - but we need a wrapper for it to be used externally. xlog_cil_force_seq() can easily be extended to do what we need as it already implements the synchronous CIL push via xlog_cil_push_now(). Add the necessary flags and "push current sequence" semantics to xlog_cil_force_seq() and convert the AIL pushing to use it. One of the complexities here is that the CIL push does not guarantee that the commit record for the CIL checkpoint is written to disk. The current log force ensures this by submitting the current ACTIVE iclog that the commit record was written to. We need the CIL to actually write this commit record to disk for an async push to ensure that the checkpoint actually makes it to disk and unpins the pinned items in the checkpoint on completion. Hence we need to pass down to the CIL push that we are doing an async flush so that it can switch out the commit_iclog if necessary to get written to disk when the commit iclog is finally released.

xfs: xlog_sync() manually adjusts grant head space When xlog_sync() rounds off the tail the iclog that is being flushed, it manually subtracts that space from the grant heads. This space is actually reserved by the transaction ticket that covers the xlog_sync() call from xlog_write(), but we don't plumb the ticket down far enough for it to account for the space consumed in the current log ticket. The grant heads are hot, so we really should be accounting this to the ticket is we can, rather than adding thousands of extra grant head updates every CIL commit. Interestingly, this actually indicates a potential log space overrun can occur when we force the log. By the time that xfs_log_force() pushes out an active iclog and consumes the roundoff space, the reservation for that roundoff space has been returned to the grant heads and is no longer covered by a reservation. In theory the roundoff added to log force on an already full log could push the write head past the tail. In practice, the CIL commit that writes to the log and needs the iclog pushed will have reserved space for roundoff, so when it releases the ticket there will still be physical space for the roundoff to be committed to the log, even though it is no longer reserved. This roundoff won't be enough space to allow a transaction to be woken if the log is full, so overruns should not actually occur in practice. That said, it indicates that we should not release the CIL context log ticket until after we've released the commit iclog. It also means that xlog_sync() still needs the direct grant head manipulation if we don't provide it with a ticket. Log forces are rare when we are in fast paths running 1.5 million transactions/s that make the grant heads hot, so let's optimise the hot case and pass CIL log tickets down to the xlog_sync() code.

xfs: journal IO cache flush reductions Currently every journal IO is issued as REQ_PREFLUSH | REQ_FUA to guarantee the ordering requirements the journal has w.r.t. metadata writeback. THe two ordering constraints are: 1. we cannot overwrite metadata in the journal until we guarantee that the dirty metadata has been written back in place and is stable. 2. we cannot write back dirty metadata until it has been written to the journal and guaranteed to be stable (and hence recoverable) in the journal. The ordering guarantees of #1 are provided by REQ_PREFLUSH. This causes the journal IO to issue a cache flush and wait for it to complete before issuing the write IO to the journal. Hence all completed metadata IO is guaranteed to be stable before the journal overwrites the old metadata. The ordering guarantees of #2 are provided by the REQ_FUA, which ensures the journal writes do not complete until they are on stable storage. Hence by the time the last journal IO in a checkpoint completes, we know that the entire checkpoint is on stable storage and we can unpin the dirty metadata and allow it to be written back. This is the mechanism by which ordering was first implemented in XFS way back in 2002 by commit 95d97c36e5155075ba2eb22b17562cfcc53fcf96 ("Add support for drive write cache flushing") in the xfs-archive tree. A lot has changed since then, most notably we now use delayed logging to checkpoint the filesystem to the journal rather than write each individual transaction to the journal. Cache flushes on journal IO are necessary when individual transactions are wholly contained within a single iclog. However, CIL checkpoints are single transactions that typically span hundreds to thousands of individual journal writes, and so the requirements for device cache flushing have changed. That is, the ordering rules I state above apply to ordering of atomic transactions recorded in the journal, not to the journal IO itself. Hence we need to ensure metadata is stable before we start writing a new transaction to the journal (guarantee #1), and we need to ensure the entire transaction is stable in the journal before we start metadata writeback (guarantee #2). Hence we only need a REQ_PREFLUSH on the journal IO that starts a new journal transaction to provide #1, and it is not on any other journal IO done within the context of that journal transaction. The CIL checkpoint already issues a cache flush before it starts writing to the log, so we no longer need the iclog IO to issue a REQ_REFLUSH for us. Hence if XLOG_START_TRANS is passed to xlog_write(), we no longer need to mark the first iclog in the log write with REQ_PREFLUSH for this case. As an added bonus, this ordering mechanism works for both internal and external logs, meaning we can remove the explicit data device cache flushes from the iclog write code when using external logs. Given the new ordering semantics of commit records for the CIL, we need iclogs containing commit records to issue a REQ_PREFLUSH. We also require unmount records to do this. Hence for both XLOG_COMMIT_TRANS and XLOG_UNMOUNT_TRANS xlog_write() calls we need to mark the first iclog being written with REQ_PREFLUSH. For both commit records and unmount records, we also want them immediately on stable storage, so we want to also mark the iclogs that contain these records to be marked REQ_FUA. That means if a record is split across multiple iclogs, they are all marked REQ_FUA and not just the last one so that when the transaction is completed all the parts of the record are on stable storage. And for external logs, unmount records need a pre-write data device cache flush similar to the CIL checkpoint cache pre-flush as the internal iclog write code does not do this implicitly anymore. As an optimisation, when the commit record lands in the same iclog as the journal transaction starts, we don't need to wait for anything and can simply use REQ_FUA to provide guarantee #2. This means that for fsync() heavy workloads, the cache flush behaviour is completely unchanged and there is no degradation in performance as a result of optimise the multi-IO transaction case. The most notable sign that there is less IO latency on my test machine (nvme SSDs) is that the "noiclogs" rate has dropped substantially. This metric indicates that the CIL push is blocking in xlog_get_iclog_space() waiting for iclog IO completion to occur. With 8 iclogs of 256kB, the rate is appoximately 1 noiclog event to every 4 iclog writes. IOWs, every 4th call to xlog_get_iclog_space() is blocking waiting for log IO. With the changes in this patch, this drops to 1 noiclog event for every 100 iclog writes. Hence it is clear that log IO is completing much faster than it was previously, but it is also clear that for large iclog sizes, this isn't the performance limiting factor on this hardware. With smaller iclogs (32kB), however, there is a substantial difference. With the cache flush modifications, the journal is now running at over 4000 write IOPS, and the journal throughput is largely identical to the 256kB iclogs and the noiclog event rate stays low at about 1:50 iclog writes. The existing code tops out at about 2500 IOPS as the number of cache flushes dominate performance and latency. The noiclog event rate is about 1:4, and the performance variance is quite large as the journal throughput can fall to less than half the peak sustained rate when the cache flush rate prevents metadata writeback from keeping up and the log runs out of space and throttles reservations. As a result: logbsize fsmark create rate rm -rf before 32kb 152851+/-5.3e+04 5m28s patched 32kb 221533+/-1.1e+04 5m24s before 256kb 220239+/-6.2e+03 4m58s patched 256kb 228286+/-9.2e+03 5m06s The rm -rf times are included because I ran them, but the differences are largely noise. This workload is largely metadata read IO latency bound and the changes to the journal cache flushing doesn't really make any noticable difference to behaviour apart from a reduction in noiclog events from background CIL pushing.

xfs: prevent deadlock trying to cover an active log Recent analysis of a deadlocked XFS filesystem from a kernel crash dump indicated that the filesystem was stuck waiting for log space. The short story of the hang on the RHEL6 kernel is this: - the tail of the log is pinned by an inode - the inode has been pushed by the xfsaild - the inode has been flushed to it's backing buffer and is currently flush locked and hence waiting for backing buffer IO to complete and remove it from the AIL - the backing buffer is marked for write - it is on the delayed write queue - the inode buffer has been modified directly and logged recently due to unlinked inode list modification - the backing buffer is pinned in memory as it is in the active CIL context. - the xfsbufd won't start buffer writeback because it is pinned - xfssyncd won't force the log because it sees the log as needing to be covered and hence wants to issue a dummy transaction to move the log covering state machine along. Hence there is no trigger to force the CIL to the log and hence unpin the inode buffer and therefore complete the inode IO, remove it from the AIL and hence move the tail of the log along, allowing transactions to start again. Mainline kernels also have the same deadlock, though the signature is slightly different - the inode buffer never reaches the delayed write lists because xfs_buf_item_push() sees that it is pinned and hence never adds it to the delayed write list that the xfsaild flushes. There are two possible solutions here. The first is to simply force the log before trying to cover the log and so ensure that the CIL is emptied before we try to reserve space for the dummy transaction in the xfs_log_worker(). While this might work most of the time, it is still racy and is no guarantee that we don't get stuck in xfs_trans_reserve waiting for log space to come free. Hence it's not the best way to solve the problem. The second solution is to modify xfs_log_need_covered() to be aware of the CIL. We only should be attempting to cover the log if there is no current activity in the log - covering the log is the process of ensuring that the head and tail in the log on disk are identical (i.e. the log is clean and at idle). Hence, by definition, if there are items in the CIL then the log is not at idle and so we don't need to attempt to cover it. When we don't need to cover the log because it is active or idle, we issue a log force from xfs_log_worker() - if the log is idle, then this does nothing. However, if the log is active due to there being items in the CIL, it will force the items in the CIL to the log and unpin them. In the case of the above deadlock scenario, instead of xfs_log_worker() getting stuck in xfs_trans_reserve() attempting to cover the log, it will instead force the log, thereby unpinning the inode buffer, allowing IO to be issued and complete and hence removing the inode that was pinning the tail of the log from the AIL. At that point, everything will start moving along again. i.e. the xfs_log_worker turns back into a watchdog that can alleviate deadlocks based around pinned items that prevent the tail of the log from being moved...

xfs: xfs_log_force_lsn isn't passed a LSN In doing an investigation into AIL push stalls, I was looking at the log force code to see if an async CIL push could be done instead. This lead me to xfs_log_force_lsn() and looking at how it works. xfs_log_force_lsn() is only called from inode synchronisation contexts such as fsync(), and it takes the ip->i_itemp->ili_last_lsn value as the LSN to sync the log to. This gets passed to xlog_cil_force_lsn() via xfs_log_force_lsn() to flush the CIL to the journal, and then used by xfs_log_force_lsn() to flush the iclogs to the journal. The problem is that ip->i_itemp->ili_last_lsn does not store a log sequence number. What it stores is passed to it from the ->iop_committing method, which is called by xfs_log_commit_cil(). The value this passes to the iop_committing method is the CIL context sequence number that the item was committed to. As it turns out, xlog_cil_force_lsn() converts the sequence to an actual commit LSN for the related context and returns that to xfs_log_force_lsn(). xfs_log_force_lsn() overwrites it's "lsn" variable that contained a sequence with an actual LSN and then uses that to sync the iclogs.

xfs: Introduce delayed logging core code The delayed logging code only changes in-memory structures and as such can be enabled and disabled with a mount option. Add the mount option and emit a warning that this is an experimental feature that should not be used in production yet. We also need infrastructure to track committed items that have not yet been written to the log. This is what the Committed Item List (CIL) is for. The log item also needs to be extended to track the current log vector, the associated memory buffer and it's location in the Commit Item List. Extend the log item and log vector structures to enable this tracking. To maintain the current log format for transactions with delayed logging, we need to introduce a checkpoint transaction and a context for tracking each checkpoint from initiation to transaction completion. This includes adding a log ticket for tracking space log required/used by the context checkpoint. To track all the changes we need an io vector array per log item, rather than a single array for the entire transaction. Using the new log vector structure for this requires two passes - the first to allocate the log vector structures and chain them together, and the second to fill them out. This log vector chain can then be passed to the CIL for formatting, pinning and insertion into the CIL. Formatting of the log vector chain is relatively simple - it's just a loop over the iovecs on each log vector, but it is made slightly more complex because we re-write the iovec after the copy to point back at the memory buffer we just copied into. This code also needs to pin log items. If the log item is not already tracked in this checkpoint context, then it needs to be pinned. Otherwise it is already pinned and we don't need to pin it again. The only other complexity is calculating the amount of new log space the formatting has consumed. This needs to be accounted to the transaction in progress, and the accounting is made more complex becase we need also to steal space from it for log metadata in the checkpoint transaction. Calculate all this at insert time and update all the tickets, counters, etc correctly. Once we've formatted all the log items in the transaction, attach the busy extents to the checkpoint context so the busy extents live until checkpoint completion and can be processed at that point in time. Transactions can then be freed at this point in time. Now we need to issue checkpoints - we are tracking the amount of log space used by the items in the CIL, so we can trigger background checkpoints when the space usage gets to a certain threshold. Otherwise, checkpoints need ot be triggered when a log synchronisation point is reached - a log force event. Because the log write code already handles chained log vectors, writing the transaction is trivial, too. Construct a transaction header, add it to the head of the chain and write it into the log, then issue a commit record write. Then we can release the checkpoint log ticket and attach the context to the log buffer so it can be called during Io completion to complete the checkpoint. We also need to allow for synchronising multiple in-flight checkpoints. This is needed for two things - the first is to ensure that checkpoint commit records appear in the log in the correct sequence order (so they are replayed in the correct order). The second is so that xfs_log_force_lsn() operates correctly and only flushes and/or waits for the specific sequence it was provided with. To do this we need a wait variable and a list tracking the checkpoint commits in progress. We can walk this list and wait for the checkpoints to change state or complete easily, an this provides the necessary synchronisation for correct operation in both cases.

xfs: Reduce log force overhead for delayed logging Delayed logging adds some serialisation to the log force process to ensure that it does not deference a bad commit context structure when determining if a CIL push is necessary or not. It does this by grabing the CIL context lock exclusively, then dropping it before pushing the CIL if necessary. This causes serialisation of all log forces and pushes regardless of whether a force is necessary or not. As a result fsync heavy workloads (like dbench) can be significantly slower with delayed logging than without. To avoid this penalty, copy the current sequence from the context to the CIL structure when they are swapped. This allows us to do unlocked checks on the current sequence without having to worry about dereferencing context structures that may have already been freed. Hence we can remove the CIL context locking in the forcing code and only call into the push code if the current context matches the sequence we need to force. By passing the sequence into the push code, we can check the sequence again once we have the CIL lock held exclusive and abort if the sequence has already been pushed. This avoids a lock round-trip and unnecessary CIL pushes when we have racing push calls. The result is that the regression in dbench performance goes away - this change improves dbench performance on a ramdisk from ~2100MB/s to ~2500MB/s. This compares favourably to not using delayed logging which retuns ~2500MB/s for the same workload. Signed-off-by: Dave Chinner <dchinner@redhat.com> Reviewed-by: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de>

/*

xfs: AIL needs asynchronous CIL forcing The AIL pushing is stalling on log forces when it comes across pinned items. This is happening on removal workloads where the AIL is dominated by stale items that are removed from AIL when the checkpoint that marks the items stale is committed to the journal. This results is relatively few items in the AIL, but those that are are often pinned as directories items are being removed from are still being logged. As a result, many push cycles through the CIL will first issue a blocking log force to unpin the items. This can take some time to complete, with tracing regularly showing push delays of half a second and sometimes up into the range of several seconds. Sequences like this aren't uncommon: .... 399.829437: xfsaild: last lsn 0x11002dd000 count 101 stuck 101 flushing 0 tout 20 <wanted 20ms, got 270ms delay> 400.099622: xfsaild: target 0x11002f3600, prev 0x11002f3600, last lsn 0x0 400.099623: xfsaild: first lsn 0x11002f3600 400.099679: xfsaild: last lsn 0x1100305000 count 16 stuck 11 flushing 0 tout 50 <wanted 50ms, got 500ms delay> 400.589348: xfsaild: target 0x110032e600, prev 0x11002f3600, last lsn 0x0 400.589349: xfsaild: first lsn 0x1100305000 400.589595: xfsaild: last lsn 0x110032e600 count 156 stuck 101 flushing 30 tout 50 <wanted 50ms, got 460ms delay> 400.950341: xfsaild: target 0x1100353000, prev 0x110032e600, last lsn 0x0 400.950343: xfsaild: first lsn 0x1100317c00 400.950436: xfsaild: last lsn 0x110033d200 count 105 stuck 101 flushing 0 tout 20 <wanted 20ms, got 200ms delay> 401.142333: xfsaild: target 0x1100361600, prev 0x1100353000, last lsn 0x0 401.142334: xfsaild: first lsn 0x110032e600 401.142535: xfsaild: last lsn 0x1100353000 count 122 stuck 101 flushing 8 tout 10 <wanted 10ms, got 10ms delay> 401.154323: xfsaild: target 0x1100361600, prev 0x1100361600, last lsn 0x1100353000 401.154328: xfsaild: first lsn 0x1100353000 401.154389: xfsaild: last lsn 0x1100353000 count 101 stuck 101 flushing 0 tout 20 <wanted 20ms, got 300ms delay> 401.451525: xfsaild: target 0x1100361600, prev 0x1100361600, last lsn 0x0 401.451526: xfsaild: first lsn 0x1100353000 401.451804: xfsaild: last lsn 0x1100377200 count 170 stuck 22 flushing 122 tout 50 <wanted 50ms, got 500ms delay> 401.933581: xfsaild: target 0x1100361600, prev 0x1100361600, last lsn 0x0 .... In each of these cases, every AIL pass saw 101 log items stuck on the AIL (pinned) with very few other items being found. Each pass, a log force was issued, and delay between last/first is the sleep time + the sync log force time. Some of these 101 items pinned the tail of the log. The tail of the log does slowly creep forward (first lsn), but the problem is that the log is actually out of reservation space because it's been running so many transactions that stale items that never reach the AIL but consume log space. Hence we have a largely empty AIL, with long term pins on items that pin the tail of the log that don't get pushed frequently enough to keep log space available. The problem is the hundreds of milliseconds that we block in the log force pushing the CIL out to disk. The AIL should not be stalled like this - it needs to run and flush items that are at the tail of the log with minimal latency. What we really need to do is trigger a log flush, but then not wait for it at all - we've already done our waiting for stuff to complete when we backed off prior to the log force being issued. Even if we remove the XFS_LOG_SYNC from the xfs_log_force() call, we still do a blocking flush of the CIL and that is what is causing the issue. Hence we need a new interface for the CIL to trigger an immediate background push of the CIL to get it moving faster but not to wait on that to occur. While the CIL is pushing, the AIL can also be pushing. We already have an internal interface to do this - xlog_cil_push_now() - but we need a wrapper for it to be used externally. xlog_cil_force_seq() can easily be extended to do what we need as it already implements the synchronous CIL push via xlog_cil_push_now(). Add the necessary flags and "push current sequence" semantics to xlog_cil_force_seq() and convert the AIL pushing to use it. One of the complexities here is that the CIL push does not guarantee that the commit record for the CIL checkpoint is written to disk. The current log force ensures this by submitting the current ACTIVE iclog that the commit record was written to. We need the CIL to actually write this commit record to disk for an async push to ensure that the checkpoint actually makes it to disk and unpins the pinned items in the checkpoint on completion. Hence we need to pass down to the CIL push that we are doing an async flush so that it can switch out the commit_iclog if necessary to get written to disk when the commit iclog is finally released.

xfs: separate CIL commit record IO To allow for iclog IO device cache flush behaviour to be optimised, we first need to separate out the commit record iclog IO from the rest of the checkpoint so we can wait for the checkpoint IO to complete before we issue the commit record. This separation is only necessary if the commit record is being written into a different iclog to the start of the checkpoint as the upcoming cache flushing changes requires completion ordering against the other iclogs submitted by the checkpoint. If the entire checkpoint and commit is in the one iclog, then they are both covered by the one set of cache flush primitives on the iclog and hence there is no need to separate them for ordering. Otherwise, we need to wait for all the previous iclogs to complete so they are ordered correctly and made stable by the REQ_PREFLUSH that the commit record iclog IO issues. This guarantees that if a reader sees the commit record in the journal, they will also see the entire checkpoint that commit record closes off. This also provides the guarantee that when the commit record IO completes, we can safely unpin all the log items in the checkpoint so they can be written back because the entire checkpoint is stable in the journal.

xfs: validate metadata LSNs against log on v5 superblocks Since the onset of v5 superblocks, the LSN of the last modification has been included in a variety of on-disk data structures. This LSN is used to provide log recovery ordering guarantees (e.g., to ensure an older log recovery item is not replayed over a newer target data structure). While this works correctly from the point a filesystem is formatted and mounted, userspace tools have some problematic behaviors that defeat this mechanism. For example, xfs_repair historically zeroes out the log unconditionally (regardless of whether corruption is detected). If this occurs, the LSN of the filesystem is reset and the log is now in a problematic state with respect to on-disk metadata structures that might have a larger LSN. Until either the log catches up to the highest previously used metadata LSN or each affected data structure is modified and written out without incident (which resets the metadata LSN), log recovery is susceptible to filesystem corruption. This problem is ultimately addressed and repaired in the associated userspace tools. The kernel is still responsible to detect the problem and notify the user that something is wrong. Check the superblock LSN at mount time and fail the mount if it is invalid. From that point on, trigger verifier failure on any metadata I/O where an invalid LSN is detected. This results in a filesystem shutdown and guarantees that we do not log metadata changes with invalid LSNs on disk. Since this is a known issue with a known recovery path, present a warning to instruct the user how to recover.

However, for some features, the read/write distinction is critical to correct operation. To distinguish these cases, separate read/write accessors must be used.

xfs: validate metadata LSNs against log on v5 superblocks Since the onset of v5 superblocks, the LSN of the last modification has been included in a variety of on-disk data structures. This LSN is used to provide log recovery ordering guarantees (e.g., to ensure an older log recovery item is not replayed over a newer target data structure). While this works correctly from the point a filesystem is formatted and mounted, userspace tools have some problematic behaviors that defeat this mechanism. For example, xfs_repair historically zeroes out the log unconditionally (regardless of whether corruption is detected). If this occurs, the LSN of the filesystem is reset and the log is now in a problematic state with respect to on-disk metadata structures that might have a larger LSN. Until either the log catches up to the highest previously used metadata LSN or each affected data structure is modified and written out without incident (which resets the metadata LSN), log recovery is susceptible to filesystem corruption. This problem is ultimately addressed and repaired in the associated userspace tools. The kernel is still responsible to detect the problem and notify the user that something is wrong. Check the superblock LSN at mount time and fail the mount if it is invalid. From that point on, trigger verifier failure on any metadata I/O where an invalid LSN is detected. This results in a filesystem shutdown and guarantees that we do not log metadata changes with invalid LSNs on disk. Since this is a known issue with a known recovery path, present a warning to instruct the user how to recover.
