jbd: improve fsync batching There is a flaw with the way jbd handles fsync batching. If we fsync() a file and we were not the last person to run fsync() on this fs then we automatically sleep for 1 jiffie in order to wait for new writers to join into the transaction before forcing the commit. The problem with this is that with really fast storage (ie a Clariion) the time it takes to commit a transaction to disk is way faster than 1 jiffie in most cases, so sleeping means waiting longer with nothing to do than if we just committed the transaction and kept going. Ric Wheeler noticed this when using fs_mark with more than 1 thread, the throughput would plummet as he added more threads. This patch attempts to fix this problem by recording the average time in nanoseconds that it takes to commit a transaction to disk, and what time we started the transaction. If we run an fsync() and we have been running for less time than it takes to commit the transaction to disk, we sleep for the delta amount of time and then commit to disk. We acheive sub-jiffie sleeping using schedule_hrtimeout. This means that the wait time is auto-tuned to the speed of the underlying disk, instead of having this static timeout. I weighted the average according to somebody's comments (Andreas Dilger I think) in order to help normalize random outliers where we take way longer or way less time to commit than the average. I also have a min() check in there to make sure we don't sleep longer than a jiffie in case our storage is super slow, this was requested by Andrew. I unfortunately do not have access to a Clariion, so I had to use a ramdisk to represent a super fast array. I tested with a SATA drive with barrier=1 to make sure there was no regression with local disks, I tested with a 4 way multipathed Apple Xserve RAID array and of course the ramdisk. I ran the following command fs_mark -d /mnt/ext3-test -s 4096 -n 2000 -D 64 -t $i where $i was 2, 4, 8, 16 and 32. I mkfs'ed the fs each time.

jbd: improve fsync batching There is a flaw with the way jbd handles fsync batching. If we fsync() a file and we were not the last person to run fsync() on this fs then we automatically sleep for 1 jiffie in order to wait for new writers to join into the transaction before forcing the commit. The problem with this is that with really fast storage (ie a Clariion) the time it takes to commit a transaction to disk is way faster than 1 jiffie in most cases, so sleeping means waiting longer with nothing to do than if we just committed the transaction and kept going. Ric Wheeler noticed this when using fs_mark with more than 1 thread, the throughput would plummet as he added more threads. This patch attempts to fix this problem by recording the average time in nanoseconds that it takes to commit a transaction to disk, and what time we started the transaction. If we run an fsync() and we have been running for less time than it takes to commit the transaction to disk, we sleep for the delta amount of time and then commit to disk. We acheive sub-jiffie sleeping using schedule_hrtimeout. This means that the wait time is auto-tuned to the speed of the underlying disk, instead of having this static timeout. I weighted the average according to somebody's comments (Andreas Dilger I think) in order to help normalize random outliers where we take way longer or way less time to commit than the average. I also have a min() check in there to make sure we don't sleep longer than a jiffie in case our storage is super slow, this was requested by Andrew. I unfortunately do not have access to a Clariion, so I had to use a ramdisk to represent a super fast array. I tested with a SATA drive with barrier=1 to make sure there was no regression with local disks, I tested with a 4 way multipathed Apple Xserve RAID array and of course the ramdisk. I ran the following command fs_mark -d /mnt/ext3-test -s 4096 -n 2000 -D 64 -t $i where $i was 2, 4, 8, 16 and 32. I mkfs'ed the fs each time.

[PATCH] jbd: fix transaction batching Ben points out that: When writing files out using O_SYNC, jbd's 1 jiffy delay results in a significant drop in throughput as the disk sits idle. The patch below results in a 4-5x performance improvement (from 6.5MB/s to ~24-30MB/s on my IDE test box) when writing out files using O_SYNC. So optimise the batching code by omitting it entirely if the process which is doing a sync write is the same as the one which did the most recent sync write. If that's true, we're unlikely to get any other processes joining the transaction. (Has been in -mm for ages - it took me a long time to get on to performance testing it) Numbers, on write-cache-disabled IDE: /usr/bin/time -p synctest -n 10 -uf -t 1 -p 1 dir-name Unpatched: 40 seconds Patched: 35 seconds Batching disabled: 35 seconds This is the problematic single-process-doing-fsync case. With multiple fsyncing processes the numbers are AFACIT unaltered by the patch. Aside: performance testing and instrumentation shows that the transaction batching almost doesn't help (testing with synctest -n 1 -uf -t 100 -p 10 dir-name on non-writeback-caching IDE). This is because by the time one process is running a synchronous commit, a bunch of other processes already have a transaction handle open, so they're all going to batch into the same transaction anyway. The batching seems to offer maybe 5-10% speedup with this workload, but I'm pretty sure it was more important than that when it was first developed 4-odd years ago... Cc: "Stephen C.

* This is done in ext3 by defining an ext3_setattr method which

*
* Any disk blocks which *are* part of the previous, committing
* transaction (and which therefore cannot be discarded immediately) are
* not going to be reused in the new running transaction
*
* The bitmap committed_data images guarantee this: any block which is
* allocated in one transaction and removed in the next will be marked
* as in-use in the committed_data bitmap, so cannot be reused until
* the next transaction to delete the block commits. This means that
* leaving committing buffers dirty is quite safe: the disk blocks
* cannot be reallocated to a different file and so buffer aliasing is
* not possible.
*
*
* The above applies mainly to ordered data mode. In writeback mode we

[PATCH] jbd dirty buffer leak fix This fixes the lots-of-fsx-linux-instances-cause-a-slow-leak bug. It's been there since 2.6.6, caused by: ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/akpm/patches/2.6/2.6.5/2.6.5-mm4/broken-out/jbd-move-locked-buffers.patch That patch moves under-writeout ordered-data buffers onto a separate journal list during commit. It took out the old code which was based on a single list. The old code (necessarily) had logic which would restart I/O against buffers which had been redirtied while they were on the committing transaction's t_sync_datalist list. The new code only writes buffers once, ignoring redirtyings by a later transaction, which is good. But over on the truncate side of things, in journal_unmap_buffer(), we're treating buffers on the t_locked_list as inviolable things which belong to the committing transaction, and we just leave them alone during concurrent truncate-vs-commit. The net effect is that when truncate tries to invalidate a page whose buffers are on t_locked_list and have been redirtied, journal_unmap_buffer() just leaves those buffers alone. truncate will remove the page from its mapping and we end up with an anonymous clean page with dirty buffers, which is an illegal state for a page. The JBD commit will not clean those buffers as they are removed from t_locked_list. The VM (try_to_free_buffers) cannot reclaim these pages. The patch teaches journal_unmap_buffer() about buffers which are on the committing transaction's t_locked_list. These buffers have been written and I/O has completed. We can take them off the transaction and undirty them within the context of journal_invalidatepage()->journal_unmap_buffer(). Acked-by: "Stephen C. Tweedie" <sct@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

[PATCH] jbd: fix BUG in journal_commit_transaction() Fix possible assertion failure in journal_commit_transaction() on jh->b_next_transaction == NULL (when we are processing BJ_Forget list and buffer is not jbddirty). !jbddirty buffers can be placed on BJ_Forget list for example by journal_forget() or by __dispose_buffer() - generally such buffer means that it has been freed by this transaction. Freed buffers should not be reallocated until the transaction has committed (that's why we have the assertion there) but they *can* be reallocated when the transaction has already been committed to disk and we are just processing the BJ_Forget list (as soon as we remove b_committed_data from the bitmap bh, ext3 will be able to reallocate buffers freed by the committing transaction). So we have to also count with the case that the buffer has been reallocated and b_next_transaction has been already set. And one more subtle point: it can happen that we manage to reallocate the buffer and also mark it jbddirty. Then we also add the freed buffer to the checkpoint list of the committing trasaction. But that should do no harm. Non-jbddirty buffers should be filed to BJ_Reserved and not BJ_Metadata list. It can actually happen that we refile such buffers during the commit phase when we reallocate in the running transaction blocks deleted in committing transaction (and that can happen if the committing transaction already wrote all the data and is just cleaning up BJ_Forget list).

__journal_file_buffer(jh, jh->b_transaction,
jbd: fix possible journal overflow issues There are several cases where the running transaction can get buffers added to its BJ_Metadata list which it never dirtied, which makes its t_nr_buffers counter end up larger than its t_outstanding_credits counter. This will cause issues when starting new transactions as while we are logging buffers we decrement t_outstanding_buffers, so when t_outstanding_buffers goes negative, we will report that we need less space in the journal than we actually need, so transactions will be started even though there may not be enough room for them. In the worst case scenario (which admittedly is almost impossible to reproduce) this will result in the journal running out of space. The fix is to only refile buffers from the committing transaction to the running transactions BJ_Modified list when b_modified is set on that journal, which is the only way to be sure if the running transaction has modified that buffer. This patch also fixes an accounting error in journal_forget, it is possible that we can call journal_forget on a buffer without having modified it, only gotten write access to it, so instead of freeing a credit, we only do so if the buffer was modified. The assert will help catch if this problem occurs. Without these two patches I could hit this assert within minutes of running postmark, with them this issue no longer arises.
