Christoph Hellwig d4d90b577e [XFS] Add xfs_icsb_sync_counters_locked for when m_sb_lock already held
Add a new xfs_icsb_sync_counters_locked for the case where m_sb_lock
is already taken and add a flags argument to xfs_icsb_sync_counters so
that xfs_icsb_sync_counters_flags is not needed.

David Chinner 7e20694d91 [XFS] Remove periodic logging of in-core superblock counters.
xfssyncd triggers the logging of superblock counters every 30s if the
filesystem is made with lazy-count=1. This will prevent disks from idling
and spinning down as there will be a log write every 30s. With the way
counter recovery works for lazy-count=1, this code is unnecessary and
provides no real benefit, so just remove it.

David Chinner a3f74ffb6d [XFS] Don't block pdflush when writing back inodes
When pdflush is writing back inodes, it can get stuck on inode cluster
buffers that are currently under I/O. This occurs when we write data to
multiple inodes in the same inode cluster at the same time.

Effectively, delayed allocation marks the inode dirty during the data
writeback. Hence if the inode cluster was flushed during the writeback of
the first inode, the writeback of the second inode will block waiting for
the inode cluster write to complete before writing it again for the newly
dirtied inode.

Basically, we want to avoid this from happening so we don't block pdflush
and slow down all of writeback. Hence we introduce a non-blocking async
inode flush flag that pdflush uses. If this flag is set, we use
non-blocking operations (e.g. try locks) whereever we can to avoid
blocking or extra I/O being issued.

Josef Jeff Sipek 1bd960ee2b [XFS] If you mount an XFS filesystem with no mount options at all, then
the "ikeep" option is set rather than "noikeep".

This regression was introduced in 970451.

With no mount options specified, xfs_parseargs() does the following:

int ikeep = 0;

args->flags |= XFSMNT_BARRIER;

args->flags2 |= XFSMNT2_COMPAT_IOSIZE;

if (!options)

goto done;

It only sets the above two options by default and before, it also used to
set XFSMNT_IDELETE by default.

If options are specified, then

if (!(args->flags & XFSMNT_DMAPI) && !ikeep)

args->flags |= XFSMNT_IDELETE;

is executed later on which is skipped by the "goto done;" above.

The solution is to invert the logic.

David Chinner 249a8c1124 [XFS] Move AIL pushing into it's own thread
When many hundreds to thousands of threads all try to do simultaneous
transactions and the log is in a tail-pushing situation (i.e. full), we
can get multiple threads walking the AIL list and contending on the AIL
lock.

The AIL push is, in effect, a simple I/O dispatch algorithm complicated by
the ordering constraints placed on it by the transaction subsystem. It
really does not need multiple threads to push on it - even when only a
single CPU is pushing the AIL, it can push the I/O out far faster that
pretty much any disk subsystem can handle.

So, to avoid contention problems stemming from multiple list walkers, move
the list walk off into another thread and simply provide a "target" to
push to. When a thread requires a push, it sets the target and wakes the
push thread, then goes to sleep waiting for the required amount of space
to become available in the log.

This mechanism should also be a lot fairer under heavy load as the waiters
will queue in arrival order, rather than queuing in "who completed a push
first" order.

Also, by moving the pushing to a separate thread we can do more
effectively overload detection and prevention as we can keep context from
loop iteration to loop iteration. That is, we can push only part of the
list each loop and not have to loop back to the start of the list every
time we run. This should also help by reducing the number of items we try
to lock and/or push items that we cannot move.

Note that this patch is not intended to solve the inefficiencies in the
AIL structure and the associated issues with extremely large list
contents. That needs to be addresses separately; parallel access would
cause problems to any new structure as well, so I'm only aiming to isolate
the structure from unbounded parallelism here.

Christoph Hellwig 4ca488eb45 [XFS] Kill off xfs_statvfs.
We were already filling the Linux struct statfs anyway, and doing this
trivial task directly in xfs_fs_statfs makes the code quite a bit cleaner.
While I was at it I also moved copying attributes that don't change over
the lifetime of the filesystem outside the superblock lock.

xfs_fs_fill_super used to get the magic number and blocksize through
xfs_statvfs, but assigning them directly is a lot cleaner and will save
some stack space during mount.

Lachlan McIlroy e893bffd4c [XFS] avoid race in sync_inodes() that can fail to write out all dirty data
In xfs_fs_sync_super() treat a sync the same as a filesystem freeze. This
is needed to force the log to disk for inodes which are not marked dirty
in the Linux inode (the inodes are marked dirty on completion of the log
I/O) and so sync_inodes() will not flush them.

In xfs_fs_write_inode() a synchronous flush will not get an EAGAIN from
xfs_inode_flush() and if an asynchronous flush returns EAGAIN we should
pass it on to the caller. If we get an error while flushing the inode then
re-dirty it so we can try again later.

Rafael J. Wysocki 8314418629 Freezer: make kernel threads nonfreezable by default
Currently, the freezer treats all tasks as freezable, except for the kernel
threads that explicitly set the PF_NOFREEZE flag for themselves.  This
approach is problematic, since it requires every kernel thread to either
set PF_NOFREEZE explicitly, or call try_to_freeze(), even if it doesn't
care for the freezing of tasks at all.

It seems better to only require the kernel threads that want to or need to
be frozen to use some freezer-related code and to remove any
freezer-related code from the other (nonfreezable) kernel threads, which is
done in this patch.

The patch causes all kernel threads to be nonfreezable by default (ie.  to
have PF_NOFREEZE set by default) and introduces the set_freezable()
function that should be called by the freezable kernel threads in order to
unset PF_NOFREEZE.  It also makes all of the currently freezable kernel
threads call set_freezable(), so it shouldn't cause any (intentional)
change of behaviour to appear.  Additionally, it updates documentation to
describe the freezing of tasks more accurately.

When we have a couple of hundred transactions on the fly at once, they all
typically modify the on disk superblock in some way.
create/unclink/mkdir/rmdir modify inode counts, allocation/freeing modify
free block counts.

When these counts are modified in a transaction, they must eventually lock
the superblock buffer and apply the mods. The buffer then remains locked
until the transaction is committed into the incore log buffer. The result
of this is that with enough transactions on the fly the incore superblock
buffer becomes a bottleneck.

The result of contention on the incore superblock buffer is that
transaction rates fall - the more pressure that is put on the superblock
buffer, the slower things go.

The key to removing the contention is to not require the superblock fields
in question to be locked. We do that by not marking the superblock dirty
in the transaction. IOWs, we modify the incore superblock but do not
modify the cached superblock buffer. In short, we do not log superblock
modifications to critical fields in the superblock on every transaction.
In fact we only do it just before we write the superblock to disk every
sync period or just before unmount.

This creates an interesting problem - if we don't log or write out the
fields in every transaction, then how do the values get recovered after a
crash? the answer is simple - we keep enough duplicate, logged information
in other structures that we can reconstruct the correct count after log
recovery has been performed.

It is the AGF and AGI structures that contain the duplicate information;
after recovery, we walk every AGI and AGF and sum their individual
counters to get the correct value, and we do a transaction into the log to
correct them. An optimisation of this is that if we have a clean unmount
record, we know the value in the superblock is correct, so we can avoid
the summation walk under normal conditions and so mount/recovery times do
not change under normal operation.

One wrinkle that was discovered during development was that the blocks
used in the freespace btrees are never accounted for in the AGF counters.
This was once a valid optimisation to make; when the filesystem is full,
the free space btrees are empty and consume no space. Hence when it
matters, the "accounting" is correct. But that means the when we do the
AGF summations, we would not have a correct count and xfs_check would
complain. Hence a new counter was added to track the number of blocks used
by the free space btrees. This is an *on-disk format change*.

As a result of this, lazy superblock counters are a mkfs option and at the
moment on linux there is no way to convert an old filesystem. This is
possible - xfs_db can be used to twiddle the right bits and then
xfs_repair will do the format conversion for you. Similarly, you can
convert backwards as well. At some point we'll add functionality to
xfs_admin to do the bit twiddling easily....

Christoph Lameter 50953fe9e0 slab allocators: Remove SLAB_DEBUG_INITIAL flag
I have never seen a use of SLAB_DEBUG_INITIAL.  It is only supported by
SLAB.

I think its purpose was to have a callback after an object has been freed
to verify that the state is the constructor state again?  The callback is
performed before each freeing of an object.

I would think that it is much easier to check the object state manually
before the free.  That also places the check near the code object
manipulation of the object.

Also the SLAB_DEBUG_INITIAL callback is only performed if the kernel was
compiled with SLAB debugging on.  If there would be code in a constructor
handling SLAB_DEBUG_INITIAL then it would have to be conditional on
SLAB_DEBUG otherwise it would just be dead code.  But there is no such code
in the kernel.  I think SLUB_DEBUG_INITIAL is too problematic to make real
use of, difficult to understand and there are easier ways to accomplish the
same effect (i.e.  add debug code before kfree).

There is a related flag SLAB_CTOR_VERIFY that is frequently checked to be
clear in fs inode caches.  Remove the pointless checks (they would even be
pointless without removeal of SLAB_DEBUG_INITIAL) from the fs constructors.

This is the last slab flag that SLUB did not support.  Remove the check for
unimplemented flags from SLUB.

never need this functionality in XFS.

David Chinner 2823945fda [XFS] Ensure a frozen filesystem has a clean log before writing the dummy
record.

The current Linux XFS freeze code is a mess. We flush the metadata buffers
out while we are still allowing new transactions to start and then fail to
flush the dirty buffers back out before writing the unmount and dummy
records to the log.

This leads to problems when the frozen filesystem is used for snapshots -
we do log recovery on a readonly image and often it appears that the log
image in the snapshot is not correct. Hence we end up with hangs, oops and
mount failures when trying to mount a snapshot image that has been created
when the filesystem has not been correctly frozen.

To fix this, we need to move th metadata flush to after we wait for all
current transactions to complete in teh second stage of the freeze. This
means that when we write the final log records, the log should be clean
and recovery should never occur on a snapshot image created from a frozen
filesystem.

David Chinner 7989cb8ef5 [XFS] Keep stack usage down for 4k stacks by using noinline.
gcc-4.1 and more recent aggressively inline static functions which
increases XFS stack usage by ~15% in critical paths. Prevent this from
occurring by adding noinline to the STATIC definition.

Also uninline some functions that are too large to be inlined and were
causing problems with CONFIG_FORCED_INLINING=y.

Finally, clean up all the different users of inline, __inline and
__inline__ and put them under one STATIC_INLINE macro. For debug kernels
the STATIC_INLINE macro uninlines those functions.

This eliminates the i_blksize field from struct inode.  Filesystems that want
to provide a per-inode st_blksize can do so by providing their own getattr
routine instead of using the generic_fillattr() function.

Note that some filesystems were providing pretty much random (and incorrect)

David Howells 726c334223 [PATCH] VFS: Permit filesystem to perform statfs with a known root dentry
Give the statfs superblock operation a dentry pointer rather than a superblock
pointer.

This complements the get_sb() patch.  That reduced the significance of
sb->s_root, allowing NFS to place a fake root there.  However, NFS does
require a dentry to use as a target for the statfs operation.  This permits
the root in the vfsmount to be used instead.

linux/mount.h has been added where necessary to make allyesconfig build
successfully.

Interest has also been expressed for use with the FUSE and XFS filesystems.
