In media spaces, video is often stored in a frame-per-file format. When
dealing with uncompressed realtime HD video streams in this format, it is
crucial that files do not get fragmented and that multiple files a placed
contiguously on disk.
When multiple streams are being ingested and played out at the same time,
it is critical that the filesystem does not cross the streams and
interleave them together as this creates seek and readahead cache miss
latency and prevents both ingest and playout from meeting frame rate
targets.
This patch set creates a "stream of files" concept into the allocator to
place all the data from a single stream contiguously on disk so that RAID
array readahead can be used effectively. Each additional stream gets
placed in different allocation groups within the filesystem, thereby
ensuring that we don't cross any streams. When an AG fills up, we select a
new AG for the stream that is not in use.
The core of the functionality is the stream tracking - each inode that we
create in a directory needs to be associated with the directories' stream.
Hence every time we create a file, we look up the directories' stream
object and associate the new file with that object.
Once we have a stream object for a file, we use the AG that the stream
object point to for allocations. If we can't allocate in that AG (e.g. it
is full) we move the entire stream to another AG. Other inodes in the same
stream are moved to the new AG on their next allocation (i.e. lazy
update).
Stream objects are kept in a cache and hold a reference on the inode.
Hence the inode cannot be reclaimed while there is an outstanding stream
reference. This means that on unlink we need to remove the stream
association and we also need to flush all the associations on certain
events that want to reclaim all unreferenced inodes (e.g. filesystem
freeze).

A check for file_count is always a bad idea. Linux has the ->release
method to deal with cleanups on last close and ->flush is only for the
very rare case where we want to perform an operation on every drop of a
reference to a file struct.
This patch gets rid of vop_close and surrounding code in favour of simply
doing the page flushing from ->release.

If we have multiple unwritten extents within a single page, we fail to
tell the I/o completion construction handlers we need a new handle for the
second and subsequent blocks in the page. While we still issue the I/O
correctly, we do not have the correct ranges recorded in the ioend
structures and hence when we go to convert the unwritten extents we screw
it up.
Make sure we start a new ioend every time the mapping changes so that we

Currently we do not wait on extent conversion to occur, and hence we can
return to userspace from a synchronous direct I/O write without having
completed all the actions in the write. Hence a read after the write may
see zeroes (unwritten extent) rather than the data that was written.
Block the I/O completion by triggering a synchronous workqueue flush to
ensure that the conversion has occurred before we return to userspace.

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....

The recent fix for preventing NULL files from being left around does not
update the file size corectly in all cases. The missing case is a write

In that case we used a read mapping of the extent which forced the use of

handle. Hence the file size was not updated on I/O completion.

The problem that has been addressed is that of synchronising updates of
the file size with writes that extend a file. Without the fix the update
of a file's size, as a result of a write beyond eof, is independent of
when the cached data is flushed to disk. Often the file size update would
be written to the filesystem log before the data is flushed to disk. When
a system crashes between these two events and the filesystem log is
replayed on mount the file's size will be set but since the contents never
made it to disk the file is full of holes. If some of the cached data was
flushed to disk then it may just be a section of the file at the end that
has holes.
There are existing fixes to help alleviate this problem, particularly in
the case where a file has been truncated, that force cached data to be
flushed to disk when the file is closed. If the system crashes while the
file(s) are still open then this flushing will never occur.
The fix that we have implemented is to introduce a second file size,
called the in-memory file size, that represents the current file size as
viewed by the user. The existing file size, called the on-disk file size,
is the one that get's written to the filesystem log and we only update it
when it is safe to do so. When we write to a file beyond eof we only
update the in- memory file size in the write operation. Later when the I/O
operation, that flushes the cached data to disk completes, an I/O
completion routine will update the on-disk file size. The on-disk file
size will be updated to the maximum offset of the I/O or to the value of
the in-memory file size if the I/O includes eof.

This change addresses a race in xfs_write() where, for direct I/O, the
flags need_i_mutex and need_flush are setup before the iolock is acquired.
The logic used to setup the flags may change between setting the flags and
acquiring the iolock resulting in these flags having incorrect values. For
example, if a file is not currently cached then need_i_mutex is set to
zero and then if the file is cached before the iolock is acquired we will
fail to do the flushinval before the direct write.
The flush (and also the call to xfs_zero_eof()) need to be done with the
iolock held exclusive so we need to acquire the iolock before checking for
cached data (or if the write begins after eof) to prevent this state from
changing. For direct I/O I've chosen to always acquire the iolock in
shared mode initially and if there is a need to promote it then drop it
and reacquire it.
There's also some other tidy-ups including removing the O_APPEND offset
adjustment since that work is done in generic_write_checks() (and we don't
use offset as an input parameter anywhere).

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.

pain for caching and the proc interface never implemented.
I have done an audit and discovered that none of the current users of

So this patch simply removes the support for overriding existing entries in

There are quite a lot of files which include it but don't actually need

Currently, XFS uses BH_PrivateStart for flagging unwritten extent state in a
bufferhead. Recently, I found the long standing mmap/unwritten extent
conversion bug, and it was to do with partial page invalidation not clearing
the unwritten flag from bufferheads attached to the page but beyond EOF. See
here for a full explaination:
http://oss.sgi.com/archives/xfs/2006-12/msg00196.html
The solution I have checked into the XFS dev tree involves duplicating code
from block_invalidatepage to clear the unwritten flag from the bufferhead(s),
and then calling block_invalidatepage() to do the rest.
Christoph suggested that this would be better solved by pushing the unwritten
flag into the common buffer head flags and just adding the call to
discard_buffer():

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.

When writing less than a filesystem block of data into an unwritten extent
via buffered I/O, __xfs_get_blocks fails to set the buffer new flag. As a
result, the generic code will not zero either edge of the block resulting
in garbage being written to disk either side of the real data. Set the
buffer new state on bufferd writes to unwritten extents to ensure that
zeroing occurs.

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.

At the last stage of a freeze, we flush the buftarg synchronously over and
over again until it succeeds twice without skipping any buffers.
The delwri list flush skips pinned buffers, but tries to flush all others.
It removes the buffers from the delwri list, then tries to lock them one
at a time as it traverses the list to issue the I/O. It holds them locked
until we issue all of the I/O and then unlocks them once we've waited for
it to complete.
The problem is that during a freeze, the filesystem may still be doing
stuff - like flushing delalloc data buffers - in the background and hence
we can be trying to lock buffers that were on the delwri list at the same
time. Hence we can get ABBA deadlocks between threads doing allocation and
the buftarg flush (freeze) thread.
Fix it by skipping locked (and pinned) buffers as we traverse the delwri
buffer list.

XFS appears to call clear_page_dirty to get the mapping tree dirty tag
set correctly at the same time the page dirty flag is cleared. I note
that this can be done by set_page_writeback() if we clear the dirty flag
on the page first when we are writing back the entire page.
Hence it seems to me that the XFS call to clear_page_dirty() could
easily be substituted by clear_page_dirty_for_io() followed by a call to
set_page_writeback() to get the mapping tree tags set correctly after
the page has been marked clean.

The only time it is safe to call aio_complete() is when the ->ki_retry
function returns -EIOCBQUEUED to the AIO core. direct_io_worker() has
historically done this by relying on its caller to translate positive return
codes into -EIOCBQUEUED for the aio case. It did this by trying to keep
conditionals in sync. direct_io_worker() knew when finished_one_bio() was
going to call aio_complete(). It would reverse the test and wait and free the
dio in the cases it thought that finished_one_bio() wasn't going to.
Not surprisingly, it ended up getting it wrong. 'ret' could be a negative
errno from the submission path but it failed to communicate this to
finished_one_bio(). direct_io_worker() would return < 0, it's callers
wouldn't raise -EIOCBQUEUED, and aio_complete() would be called. In the
future finished_one_bio()'s tests wouldn't reflect this and aio_complete()
would be called for a second time which can manifest as an oops.
The previous cleanups have whittled the sync and async completion paths down
to the point where we can collapse them and clearly reassert the invariant
that we must only call aio_complete() after returning -EIOCBQUEUED.
direct_io_worker() will only return -EIOCBQUEUED when it is not the last to
drop the dio refcount and the aio bio completion path will only call
aio_complete() when it is the last to drop the dio refcount.
direct_io_worker() can ensure that it is the last to drop the reference count
by waiting for bios to drain. It does this for sync ops, of course, and for
partial dio writes that must fall back to buffered and for aio ops that saw
errors during submission.
This means that operations that end up waiting, even if they were issued as
aio ops, will not call aio_complete() from dio. Instead we return the return
code of the operation and let the aio core call aio_complete(). This is
purposely done to fix a bug where AIO DIO file extensions would call
aio_complete() before their callers have a chance to update i_size.
Now that direct_io_worker() is explicitly returning -EIOCBQUEUED its callers
no longer have to translate for it. XFS needs to be careful not to free
resources that will be used during AIO completion if -EIOCBQUEUED is returned.
We maintain the previous behaviour of trying to write fs metadata for O_SYNC
aio+dio writes.

do_sync_read/ do_sync_write() as their .read/.write methods. This allows us
to cleanup all variants of generic_file_* routines.
Final available interfaces:
generic_file_aio_read() - read handler
generic_file_aio_write() - write handler
generic_file_aio_write_nolock() - no lock write handler

This complements the get_sb() patch. That reduced the significance of

require a dentry to use as a target for the statfs operation. This permits
the root in the vfsmount to be used instead.

Extend the get_sb() filesystem operation to take an extra argument that
permits the VFS to pass in the target vfsmount that defines the mountpoint.
The filesystem is then required to manually set the superblock and root dentry
pointers. For most filesystems, this should be done with simple_set_mnt()
which will set the superblock pointer and then set the root dentry to the
superblock's s_root (as per the old default behaviour).
The get_sb() op now returns an integer as there's now no need to return the
superblock pointer.
This patch permits a superblock to be implicitly shared amongst several mount
points, such as can be done with NFS to avoid potential inode aliasing. In
such a case, simple_set_mnt() would not be called, and instead the mnt_root
and mnt_sb would be set directly.
The patch also makes the following changes:
(*) the get_sb_*() convenience functions in the core kernel now take a vfsmount
pointer argument and return an integer, so most filesystems have to change
very little.
(*) If one of the convenience function is not used, then get_sb() should
normally call simple_set_mnt() to instantiate the vfsmount. This will
always return 0, and so can be tail-called from get_sb().
(*) generic_shutdown_super() now calls shrink_dcache_sb() to clean up the
dcache upon superblock destruction rather than shrink_dcache_anon().
This is required because the superblock may now have multiple trees that
aren't actually bound to s_root, but that still need to be cleaned up. The
currently called functions assume that the whole tree is rooted at s_root,
and that anonymous dentries are not the roots of trees which results in
dentries being left unculled.
However, with the way NFS superblock sharing are currently set to be
implemented, these assumptions are violated: the root of the filesystem is
simply a dummy dentry and inode (the real inode for '/' may well be
inaccessible), and all the vfsmounts are rooted on anonymous[*] dentries
with child trees.
[*] Anonymous until discovered from another tree.
(*) The documentation has been adjusted, including the additional bit of
changing ext2_* into foo_* in the documentation.

Now that get_block() can handle mapping multiple disk blocks, no need to have
->get_blocks(). This patch removes fs specific ->get_blocks() added for DIO
and makes it users use get_block() instead.

This patch changes mpage_readpages() and get_block() to get the disk mapping
information for multiple blocks at the same time.
b_size represents the amount of disk mapping that needs to mapped. On the
successful get_block() b_size indicates the amount of disk mapping thats
actually mapped. Only the filesystems who care to use this information and
provide multiple disk blocks at a time can choose to do so.
No changes are needed for the filesystems who wants to ignore this.

Change the kmem_cache_create calls for certain slab caches to support cpuset
memory spreading.
See the previous patches, cpuset_mem_spread, for an explanation of cpuset
memory spreading, and cpuset_mem_spread_slab_cache for the slab cache support
for memory spreading.
The slab caches marked for now are: dentry_cache, inode_cache, some xfs slab
caches, and buffer_head. This list may change over time. In particular,
other file system types that are used extensively on large NUMA systems may
want to allow for spreading their directory and inode slab cache entries.

When we stop allocating percpu memory for not-possible CPUs we must not touch
the percpu data for not-possible CPUs at all. The correct way of doing this
is to test cpu_possible() or to use for_each_cpu().
This patch is a kernel-wide sweep of all instances of NR_CPUS. I found very
few instances of this bug, if any. But the patch converts lots of open-coded
test to use the preferred helper macros.

Migrate a page with buffers without requiring writeback
This introduces a new address space operation migratepage() that may be used
by a filesystem to implement its own version of page migration.
A version is provided that migrates buffers attached to pages. Some
filesystems (ext2, ext3, xfs) are modified to utilize this feature.
The swapper address space operation are modified so that a regular
migrate_page() will occur for anonymous pages without writeback (migrate_pages
forces every anonymous page to have a swap entry).

allows us to submit much larger I/Os instead of sending down lots of small
buffer_heads. To do this we need to have a rather complicated I/O
submission and completion tracking infrastructure. Part of the latter has
been merged already a long time ago for direct I/O support. Part of the
problem is that we need to track sub-pagesize regions and for that we
still need buffer_heads for the time beeing. Long-term I hope we can move
to better data strucutures and/or maybe move this to fs/mpage.c instead of
having it in XFS. Original patch from Nathan Scott with various updates
