PAGE_CACHE_{SIZE,SHIFT,MASK,ALIGN} macros were introduced *long* time
ago with promise that one day it will be possible to implement page
cache with bigger chunks than PAGE_SIZE.
This promise never materialized. And unlikely will.
We have many places where PAGE_CACHE_SIZE assumed to be equal to
PAGE_SIZE. And it's constant source of confusion on whether
PAGE_CACHE_* or PAGE_* constant should be used in a particular case,
especially on the border between fs and mm.
Global switching to PAGE_CACHE_SIZE != PAGE_SIZE would cause to much
breakage to be doable.
Let's stop pretending that pages in page cache are special. They are
not.
The changes are pretty straight-forward:
- <foo> << (PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT - PAGE_SHIFT) -> <foo>;
- <foo> >> (PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT - PAGE_SHIFT) -> <foo>;
- PAGE_CACHE_{SIZE,SHIFT,MASK,ALIGN} -> PAGE_{SIZE,SHIFT,MASK,ALIGN};
- page_cache_get() -> get_page();
- page_cache_release() -> put_page();
This patch contains automated changes generated with coccinelle using
script below. For some reason, coccinelle doesn't patch header files.
I've called spatch for them manually.
The only adjustment after coccinelle is revert of changes to
PAGE_CAHCE_ALIGN definition: we are going to drop it later.
There are few places in the code where coccinelle didn't reach. I'll
fix them manually in a separate patch. Comments and documentation also
will be addressed with the separate patch.

This patch adds a tracepoint for transaction events of nilfs. With the
tracepoint, these events can be tracked: begin, abort, commit, trylock,
lock, and unlock. Basically, these events have corresponding functions
e.g. begin event corresponds nilfs_transaction_begin(). The unlock event
is an exception. It corresponds to the iteration in
nilfs_transaction_lock().
Only one tracepoint is introcued: nilfs2_transaction_transition. The
above events are distinguished with newly introduced enum. With this
tracepoint, we can analyse a critical section of segment constructoin.
Sample output by tpoint of perf-tools:

This patch adds a tracepoint for tracking stage transition of block
collection in segment construction. With the tracepoint, we can analysis
the behavior of segment construction in depth. It would be useful for
bottleneck detection and debugging, etc.
The tracepoint is created with the standard trace API of linux (like ext3,
ext4, f2fs and btrfs). So we can analysis with existing tools easily. Of
course, more detailed analysis will be possible if we can create nilfs
specific analysis tools.
Below is an example of event dump with Brendan Gregg's perf-tools
(https://github.com/brendangregg/perf-tools). Time consumption between
each stage can be obtained.

According to a report from Yuxuan Shui, nilfs2 in kernel 3.19 got stuck
during recovery at mount time. The code path that caused the deadlock was
as follows:
nilfs_fill_super()
load_nilfs()
nilfs_salvage_orphan_logs()
* Do roll-forwarding, attach segment constructor for recovery,
and kick it.
nilfs_segctor_thread()
nilfs_segctor_thread_construct()
* A lock is held with nilfs_transaction_lock()
nilfs_segctor_do_construct()
nilfs_segctor_drop_written_files()
iput()
iput_final()
write_inode_now()
writeback_single_inode()
__writeback_single_inode()
do_writepages()
nilfs_writepage()
nilfs_construct_dsync_segment()
nilfs_transaction_lock() --> deadlock
This can happen if commit 7ef3ff2fea ("nilfs2: fix deadlock of segment
constructor over I_SYNC flag") is applied and roll-forward recovery was
performed at mount time. The roll-forward recovery can happen if datasync
write is done and the file system crashes immediately after that. For
instance, we can reproduce the issue with the following steps:
< nilfs2 is mounted on /nilfs (device: /dev/sdb1) >
# dd if=/dev/zero of=/nilfs/test bs=4k count=1 && sync
# dd if=/dev/zero of=/nilfs/test conv=notrunc oflag=dsync bs=4k
count=1 && reboot -nfh
< the system will immediately reboot >
# mount -t nilfs2 /dev/sdb1 /nilfs
The deadlock occurs because iput() can run segment constructor through
writeback_single_inode() if MS_ACTIVE flag is not set on sb->s_flags. The
above commit changed segment constructor so that it calls iput()
asynchronously for inodes with i_nlink == 0, but that change was
imperfect.
This fixes the another deadlock by deferring iput() in segment constructor
even for the case that mount is not finished, that is, for the case that
MS_ACTIVE flag is not set.

Nilfs2 eventually hangs in a stress test with fsstress program. This
issue was caused by the following deadlock over I_SYNC flag between
nilfs_segctor_thread() and writeback_sb_inodes():
nilfs_segctor_thread()
nilfs_segctor_thread_construct()
nilfs_segctor_unlock()
nilfs_dispose_list()
iput()
iput_final()
evict()
inode_wait_for_writeback() * wait for I_SYNC flag
writeback_sb_inodes()
* set I_SYNC flag on inode->i_state
__writeback_single_inode()
do_writepages()
nilfs_writepages()
nilfs_construct_dsync_segment()
nilfs_segctor_sync()
* wait for completion of segment constructor
inode_sync_complete()
* clear I_SYNC flag after __writeback_single_inode() completed
writeback_sb_inodes() calls do_writepages() for dirty inodes after
setting I_SYNC flag on inode->i_state. do_writepages() in turn calls
nilfs_writepages(), which can run segment constructor and wait for its
completion. On the other hand, segment constructor calls iput(), which
can call evict() and wait for the I_SYNC flag on
inode_wait_for_writeback().
Since segment constructor doesn't know when I_SYNC will be set, it
cannot know whether iput() will block or not unless inode->i_nlink has a
non-zero count. We can prevent evict() from being called in iput() by
implementing sop->drop_inode(), but it's not preferable to leave inodes
with i_nlink == 0 for long periods because it even defers file
truncation and inode deallocation. So, this instead resolves the
deadlock by calling iput() asynchronously with a workqueue for inodes
with i_nlink == 0.

Support for fdatasync() has been implemented in NILFS2 for a long time,
but whenever the corresponding inode is dirty the implementation falls
back to a full-flegded sync(). Since every write operation has to
update the modification time of the file, the inode will almost always
be dirty and fdatasync() will fall back to sync() most of the time. But
this fallback is only necessary for a change of the file size and not
for a change of the various timestamps.
This patch adds a new flag NILFS_I_INODE_SYNC to differentiate between
those two situations.
* If it is set the file size was changed and a full sync is necessary.
* If it is not set then only the timestamps were updated and
fdatasync() can go ahead.
There is already a similar flag I_DIRTY_DATASYNC on the VFS layer with
the exact same semantics. Unfortunately it cannot be used directly,
because NILFS2 doesn't implement write_inode() and doesn't clear the VFS
flags when inodes are written out. So the VFS writeback thread can
clear I_DIRTY_DATASYNC at any time without notifying NILFS2. So
I_DIRTY_DATASYNC has to be mapped onto NILFS_I_INODE_SYNC in
nilfs_update_inode().

Under normal circumstances nilfs_sync_fs() writes out the super block,
which causes a flush of the underlying block device. But this depends
on the THE_NILFS_SB_DIRTY flag, which is only set if the pointer to the
last segment crosses a segment boundary. So if only a small amount of
data is written before the call to nilfs_sync_fs(), no flush of the
block device occurs.
In the above case an additional call to blkdev_issue_flush() is needed.
To prevent unnecessary overhead, the new flag nilfs->ns_flushed_device
is introduced, which is cleared whenever new logs are written and set
whenever the block device is flushed. For convenience the function
nilfs_flush_device() is added, which contains the above logic.

There is a bug in the function nilfs_segctor_collect, which results in
active data being written to a segment, that is marked as clean. It is
possible, that this segment is selected for a later segment
construction, whereby the old data is overwritten.
The problem shows itself with the following kernel log message:
nilfs_sufile_do_cancel_free: segment 6533 must be clean
Usually a few hours later the file system gets corrupted:
NILFS: bad btree node (blocknr=8748107): level = 0, flags = 0x0, nchildren = 0
NILFS error (device sdc1): nilfs_bmap_last_key: broken bmap (inode number=114660)
The issue can be reproduced with a file system that is nearly full and
with the cleaner running, while some IO intensive task is running.
Although it is quite hard to reproduce.
This is what happens:
1. The cleaner starts the segment construction
2. nilfs_segctor_collect is called
3. sc_stage is on NILFS_ST_SUFILE and segments are freed
4. sc_stage is on NILFS_ST_DAT current segment is full
5. nilfs_segctor_extend_segments is called, which
allocates a new segment
6. The new segment is one of the segments freed in step 3
7. nilfs_sufile_cancel_freev is called and produces an error message
8. Loop around and the collection starts again
9. sc_stage is on NILFS_ST_SUFILE and segments are freed
including the newly allocated segment, which will contain active
data and can be allocated at a later time
10. A few hours later another segment construction allocates the
segment and causes file system corruption
This can be prevented by simply reordering the statements. If
nilfs_sufile_cancel_freev is called before nilfs_segctor_extend_segments
the freed segments are marked as dirty and cannot be allocated any more.

(for example):
NILFS: bad btree node (blocknr=185027): level = 0, flags = 0x0, nchildren = 768
NILFS error (device sda4): nilfs_bmap_last_key: broken bmap (inode number=11540)
But such error messages are consequence of file system's issue that takes
place more earlier. Fortunately, Jerome Poulin <jeromepoulin@gmail.com>
and Anton Eliasson <devel@antoneliasson.se> were reported about another
issue not so recently. These reports describe the issue with segctor
thread's crash:
BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request at 0000000000004c83
IP: nilfs_end_page_io+0x12/0xd0 [nilfs2]
Call Trace:
nilfs_segctor_do_construct+0xf25/0x1b20 [nilfs2]

ret_from_fork+0x7c/0xb0
These two issues have one reason. This reason can raise third issue
too. Third issue results in hanging of segctor thread with eating of
100% CPU.
REPRODUCING PATH:
One of the possible way or the issue reproducing was described by
Jermoe me Poulin <jeromepoulin@gmail.com>:
1. init S to get to single user mode.
2. sysrq+E to make sure only my shell is running
3. start network-manager to get my wifi connection up
4. login as root and launch "screen"
5. cd /boot/log/nilfs which is a ext3 mount point and can log when NILFS dies.
6. lscp | xz -9e > lscp.txt.xz
7. mount my snapshot using mount -o cp=3360839,ro /dev/vgUbuntu/root /mnt/nilfs
8. start a screen to dump /proc/kmsg to text file since rsyslog is killed
9. start a screen and launch strace -f -o find-cat.log -t find
/mnt/nilfs -type f -exec cat {} > /dev/null \;
10. start a screen and launch strace -f -o apt-get.log -t apt-get update
11. launch the last command again as it did not crash the first time
12. apt-get crashes
13. ps aux > ps-aux-crashed.log
13. sysrq+W
14. sysrq+E wait for everything to terminate
15. sysrq+SUSB
Simplified way of the issue reproducing is starting kernel compilation
task and "apt-get update" in parallel.
REPRODUCIBILITY:
The issue is reproduced not stable [60% - 80%]. It is very important to
have proper environment for the issue reproducing. The critical
conditions for successful reproducing:
(1) It should have big modified file by mmap() way.
(2) This file should have the count of dirty blocks are greater that
several segments in size (for example, two or three) from time to time
during processing.
(3) It should be intensive background activity of files modification
in another thread.
INVESTIGATION:
First of all, it is possible to see that the reason of crash is not valid
page address:
NILFS [nilfs_segctor_complete_write]:2100 bh->b_count 0, bh->b_blocknr 13895680, bh->b_size 13897727, bh->b_page 0000000000001a82
NILFS [nilfs_segctor_complete_write]:2101 segbuf->sb_segnum 6783
Moreover, value of b_page (0x1a82) is 6786. This value looks like segment
number. And b_blocknr with b_size values look like block numbers. So,
buffer_head's pointer points on not proper address value.
Detailed investigation of the issue is discovered such picture:

BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request at 0000000000001a82
IP: [<ffffffffa024d0f2>] nilfs_end_page_io+0x12/0xd0 [nilfs2]
Usually, for every segment we collect dirty files in list. Then, dirty
blocks are gathered for every dirty file, prepared for write and
submitted by means of nilfs_segbuf_submit_bh() call. Finally, it takes
place complete write phase after calling nilfs_end_bio_write() on the
block layer. Buffers/pages are marked as not dirty on final phase and
processed files removed from the list of dirty files.
It is possible to see that we had three prepare_write and submit_bio
phases before segbuf_wait and complete_write phase. Moreover, segments
compete between each other for dirty blocks because on every iteration
of segments processing dirty buffer_heads are added in several lists of
payload_buffers:
[SEGMENT 6784]: bh->b_assoc_buffers.next ffff880218a0d5f8, bh->b_assoc_buffers.prev ffff880218bcdf50
[SEGMENT 6785]: bh->b_assoc_buffers.next ffff880218a0d5f8, bh->b_assoc_buffers.prev ffff880222cc7ee8
The next pointer is the same but prev pointer has changed. It means
that buffer_head has next pointer from one list but prev pointer from
another. Such modification can be made several times. And, finally, it
can be resulted in various issues: (1) segctor hanging, (2) segctor
crashing, (3) file system metadata corruption.
FIX:
This patch adds:
(1) setting of BH_Async_Write flag in nilfs_segctor_prepare_write()
for every proccessed dirty block;
(2) checking of BH_Async_Write flag in
nilfs_lookup_dirty_data_buffers() and
nilfs_lookup_dirty_node_buffers();
(3) clearing of BH_Async_Write flag in nilfs_segctor_complete_write(),
nilfs_abort_logs(), nilfs_forget_buffer(), nilfs_clear_dirty_page().

A gc-inode is a pseudo inode used to buffer the blocks to be moved by
garbage collection.
Block caches of gc-inodes must be cleared every time a garbage collection
function (nilfs_clean_segments) completes. Otherwise, stale blocks
buffered in the caches may be wrongly reused in successive calls of the GC
function.
For user files, this is not a problem because their gc-inodes are
distinguished by a checkpoint number as well as an inode number. They
never buffer different blocks if either an inode number, a checkpoint
number, or a block offset differs.
However, gc-inodes of sufile, cpfile and DAT file can store different data
for the same block offset. Thus, the nilfs_clean_segments function can
move incorrect block for these meta-data files if an old block is cached.
I found this is really causing meta-data corruption in nilfs.
This fixes the issue by ensuring cache clear of gc-inodes and resolves
reported GC problems including checkpoint file corruption, b-tree
corruption, and the following warning during GC.
nilfs_palloc_freev: entry number 307234 already freed.

The size of super root structure depends on inode size, so

Previously, nilfs was cloning pages for mmapped region to freeze their
data and ensure consistency of checksum during writeback cycles. A
private page allocator was used for this page cloning. But, we no
longer need to do that since clear_page_dirty_for_io function sets up
pte so that vm_ops->page_mkwrite function is called right before the
mmapped pages are modified and nilfs_page_mkwrite function can safely
wait for the pages to be written back to disk.
So, this stops making a copy of mmapped pages during writeback, and
eliminates the private page allocation and deallocation functions from
nilfs.

This directly uses sb->s_fs_info to keep a nilfs filesystem object and
fully removes the intermediate nilfs_sb_info structure. With this
change, the hierarchy of on-memory structures of nilfs will be
simplified as follows:
Before:
super_block
-> nilfs_sb_info
-> the_nilfs
-> cptree --+-> nilfs_root (current file system)
+-> nilfs_root (snapshot A)
+-> nilfs_root (snapshot B)
:
-> nilfs_sc_info (log writer structure)
After:
super_block
-> the_nilfs
-> cptree --+-> nilfs_root (current file system)
+-> nilfs_root (snapshot A)
+-> nilfs_root (snapshot B)
:
-> nilfs_sc_info (log writer structure)
The reason why we didn't design so from the beginning is because the
initial shape also differed from the above. The early hierachy was
composed of "per-mount-point" super_block -> nilfs_sb_info pairs and a
shared nilfs object. On the kernel 2.6.37, it was changed to the
current shape in order to unify super block instances into one per
device, and this cleanup became applicable as the result.

According to the report from Jiro SEKIBA titled "regression in
2.6.37?" (Message-Id: <8739n8vs1f.wl%jir@sekiba.com>), on 2.6.37 and
later kernels, lscp command no longer displays "i" flag on checkpoints
that snapshot operations or garbage collection created.
This is a regression of nilfs2 checkpointing function, and it's
critical since it broke behavior of a part of nilfs2 applications.
For instance, snapshot manager of TimeBrowse gets to create
meaningless snapshots continuously; snapshot creation triggers another
checkpoint, but applications cannot distinguish whether the new
checkpoint contains meaningful changes or not without the i-flag.
This patch fixes the regression and brings that application behavior
back to normal.

Nilfs does not allocate new blocks on disk until they are actually
written to. To implement fiemap, we need to deal with such blocks.
To allow successive fiemap patch to distinguish mapped but unallocated
regions, this marks buffer heads of those new blocks as delayed and

To help developers and applications gain visibility into writeback
behaviour this patch adds two counters to /proc/vmstat.
# grep nr_dirtied /proc/vmstat
nr_dirtied 3747
# grep nr_written /proc/vmstat
nr_written 3618
These entries allow user apps to understand writeback behaviour over time
and learn how it is impacting their performance. Currently there is no
way to inspect dirty and writeback speed over time. It's not possible for
nr_dirty/nr_writeback.
These entries are necessary to give visibility into writeback behaviour.
We have /proc/diskstats which lets us understand the io in the block
layer. We have blktrace for more in depth understanding. We have
e2fsprogs and debugsfs to give insight into the file systems behaviour,
but we don't offer our users the ability understand what writeback is
doing. There is no way to know how active it is over the whole system, if
it's falling behind or to quantify it's efforts. With these values
exported users can easily see how much data applications are sending
through writeback and also at what rates writeback is processing this
data. Comparing the rates of change between the two allow developers to
see when writeback is not able to keep up with incoming traffic and the
rate of dirty memory being sent to the IO back end. This allows folks to
understand their io workloads and track kernel issues. Non kernel
engineers at Google often use these counters to solve puzzling performance
problems.
Patch #4 adds a pernode vmstat file with nr_dirtied and nr_written
Patch #5 add writeback thresholds to /proc/vmstat
Currently these values are in debugfs. But they should be promoted to
/proc since they are useful for developers who are writing databases
and file servers and are not debugging the kernel.
The output is as below:
# grep threshold /proc/vmstat
nr_pages_dirty_threshold 409111
nr_pages_dirty_background_threshold 818223
This patch:
This allows code outside of the mm core to safely manipulate page
writeback state and not worry about the other accounting. Not using these
routines means that some code will lose track of the accounting and we get
bugs.
