2010-03-05pass writeback_control to ->write_inodeChristoph Hellwig
This gives the filesystem more information about the writeback that is happening. Trond requested this for the NFS unstable write handling, and other filesystems might benefit from this too by beeing able to distinguish between the different callers in more detail.

2010-02-28exofs: groups supportBoaz Harrosh
* _calc_stripe_info() changes to accommodate for grouping calculations. Returns additional information * old _prepare_pages() becomes _prepare_one_group() which stores pages belonging to one device group. * New _prepare_for_striping iterates on all groups calling _prepare_one_group(). * Enable mounting of groups data_maps (group_width != 0) [QUESTION] what is faster A or B; A. x += stride; x = x % width + first_x; B x += stride if (x < last_x) x = first_x; Signed-off-by: Boaz Harrosh <bharrosh@panasas.com>
2010-02-28exofs: Prepare for groupsBoaz Harrosh
* Rename _offset_dev_unit_off() to _calc_stripe_info() and recieve a struct for the output params * In _prepare_for_striping we only need to call _calc_stripe_info() once. The other componets are easy to calculate from that. This code was inspired by what's done in truncate. * Some code shifts that make sense now but will make more sense when group support is added.

2010-02-28exofs: Error recovery if object is missing from storageBoaz Harrosh
If an object is referenced by a directory but does not exist on a target, it is a very serious corruption that means: 1. Either a power failure with very slim chance of it happening. Because the directory update is always submitted much after object creation, but if a directory is written to one device and the object creation to another it might theoretically happen. 2. It only ever happened to me while developing with BUGs causing file corruption. Crashes could also cause it but they are more like case 1. In any way the object does not exist, so data is surely lost. If there is a mix-up in the obj-id or data-map, then lost objects can be salvaged by off-line fsck. The only recoverable information is the directory name. By letting it appear as a regular empty file, with date==0 (1970 Jan 1st) ownership to root, we enable recovery of the only useful information. And also enable deletion or over-write. I can see how this can hurt. Signed-off-by: Boaz Harrosh <bharrosh@panasas.com>
2010-02-28exofs: convert io_state to use pages array instead of bio at inputBoaz Harrosh
* inode.c operations are full-pages based, and not actually true scatter-gather * Lets us use more pages at once upto 512 (from 249) in 64 bit * Brings us much much closer to be able to use exofs's io_state engine from objlayout driver. (Once I decide where to put the common code) After RAID0 patch the outer (input) bio was never used as a bio, but was simply a page carrier into the raid engine. Even in the simple mirror/single-dev arrangement pages info was copied into a second bio. It is now easer to just pass a pages array into the io_state and prepare bio(s) once.

2010-02-28exofs: RAID0 supportBoaz Harrosh
We now support striping over mirror devices. Including variable sized stripe_unit. Some limits: * stripe_unit must be a multiple of PAGE_SIZE * stripe_unit * stripe_count is maximum upto 32-bit (4Gb) Tested RAID0 over mirrors, RAID0 only, mirrors only. All check. Design notes: * I'm not using a vectored raid-engine mechanism yet. Following the pnfs-objects-layout data-map structure, "Mirror" is just a private case of "group_width" == 1, and RAID0 is a private case of "Mirrors" == 1. The performance lose of the general case over the particular special case optimization is totally negligible, also considering the extra code size. * In general I added a prepare_stripes() stage that divides the to-be-io pages to the participating devices, the previous exofs_ios_write/read, now becomes _write/read_mirrors and a new write/read upper layer loops on all devices calling _write/read_mirrors. Effectively the prepare_stripes stage is the all secret. Also truncate need fixing to accommodate for striping. * In a RAID0 arrangement, in a regular usage scenario, if all inode layouts will start at the same device, the small files fill up the first device and the later devices stay empty, the farther the device the emptier it is. To fix that, each inode will start at a different stripe_unit, according to it's obj_id modulus number-of-stripe-units. And will then span all stripe-units in the same incrementing order wrapping back to the beginning of the device table. We call it a stripe-units moving window. Special consideration was taken to keep all devices in a mirror arrangement identical. So a broken osd-device could just be cloned from one of the mirrors and no FS scrubbing is needed. (We do that by rotating stripe-unit at a time and not a single device at a time.) TODO: We no longer verify object_length == inode->i_size in exofs_iget. (since i_size is stripped on multiple objects now). I should introduce a multiple-device attribute reading, and use it in exofs_iget. Signed-off-by: Boaz Harrosh <bharrosh@panasas.com>
2010-02-28exofs: Define on-disk per-inode optional layout attributeBoaz Harrosh
* Layouts describe the way a file is spread on multiple devices. The layout information is stored in the objects attribute introduced in this patch. * There can be multiple generating function for the layout. Currently defined: - No attribute present - use below moving-window on global device table, all devices. (This is the only one currently used in exofs) - an obj_id generated moving window - the obj_id is a randomizing factor in the otherwise global map layout. - An explicit layout stored, including a data_map and a device index list. - More might be defined in future ... * There are two attributes defined of the same structure: A-data-files-layout - This layout is used by data-files. If present at a directory, all files of that directory will be created with this layout. A-meta-data-layout - This layout is used by a directory and other meta-data information. Also inherited at creation of subdirectories. * At creation time inodes are created with the layout specified above. A usermode utility may change the creation layout on a give directory or file. Which in the case of directories, will also apply to newly created files/subdirectories, children of that directory. In the simple unaltered case of a newly created exofs, no layout attributes are present, and all layouts adhere to the layout specified at the device-table. * In case of a future file system loaded in an old exofs-driver. At iget(), the generating_function is inspected and if not supported will return an IO error to the application and the inode will not be loaded. So not to damage any data. Note: After this patch we do not yet support any type of layout only the RAID0 patch that enables striping at the super-block level will add support for RAID0 layouts above. This way we are past and future compatible and fully bisectable. * Access to the device table is done by an accessor since it will change according to above information.

2010-02-28exofs: unindent exofs_sbi_readBoaz Harrosh

2010-01-05exofs: simple_write_end does not mark_inode_dirtyBoaz Harrosh
exofs uses simple_write_end() for it's .write_end handler. But it is not enough because simple_write_end() does not call mark_inode_dirty() when it extends i_size. So even if we do call mark_inode_dirty at beginning of write out, with a very long IO and a saturated system we might get the .write_inode() called while still extend-writing to file and miss out on the last i_size updates. So override .write_end, call simple_write_end(), and afterwords if i_size was changed call mark_inode_dirty(). It stands to logic that since simple_write_end() was the one extending i_size it should also call mark_inode_dirty(). But it looks like all users of simple_write_end() are memory-bound pseudo filesystems, who could careless about mark_inode_dirty(). I might submit a warning-comment patch to simple_write_end() in future. CC: Stable <stable@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Boaz Harrosh <bharrosh@panasas.com>
2010-01-05exofs: fix pnfs_osd re-definitions in pre-pnfs treesBoaz Harrosh
Some on disk exofs constants and types are defined in the pnfs_osd_xdr.h file. Since we needed these types before the pnfs-objects code was accepted to mainline we duplicated the minimal needed definitions into an exofs local header. The definitions where conditionally included depending on !CONFIG_PNFS defined. So if PNFS was present in the tree definitions are taken from there and if not they are defined locally. That was all good but, the CONFIG_PNFS is planed to be included upstream before the pnfs-objects is also included. (The first pnfs batch might be pnfs-files only) So condition exofs local definitions on the absence of pnfs_osd_xdr.h inclusion (__PNFS_OSD_XDR_H__ not defined). User code must make sure that in future pnfs_osd_xdr.h will be included before fs/exofs/pnfs.h, which happens to be so in current code. Once pnfs-objects hits mainline, exofs's local header will be removed. Signed-off-by: Boaz Harrosh <bharrosh@panasas.com>
2009-12-10exofs: Multi-device mirror supportBoaz Harrosh
This patch changes on-disk format, it is accompanied with a parallel patch to mkfs.exofs that enables multi-device capabilities. After this patch, old exofs will refuse to mount a new formatted FS and new exofs will refuse an old format. This is done by moving the magic field offset inside the FSCB. A new FSCB *version* field was added. In the future, exofs will refuse to mount unmatched FSCB version. To up-grade or down-grade an exofs one must use mkfs.exofs --upgrade option before mounting. Introduced, a new object that contains a *device-table*. This object contains the default *data-map* and a linear array of devices information, which identifies the devices used in the filesystem. This object is only written to offline by mkfs.exofs. This is why it is kept separate from the FSCB, since the later is written to while mounted. Same partition number, same object number is used on all devices only the device varies. * define the new format, then load the device table on mount time make sure every thing is supported. * Change I/O engine to now support Mirror IO, .i.e write same data to multiple devices, read from a random device to spread the read-load from multiple clients (TODO: stripe read) Implementation notes: A few points introduced in previous patch should be mentioned here: * Special care was made so absolutlly all operation that have any chance of failing are done before any osd-request is executed. This is to minimize the need for a data consistency recovery, to only real IO errors. * Each IO state has a kref. It starts at 1, any osd-request executed will increment the kref, finally when all are executed the first ref is dropped. At IO-done, each request completion decrements the kref, the last one to return executes the internal _last_io() routine. _last_io() will call the registered io_state_done. On sync mode a caller does not supply a done method, indicating a synchronous request, the caller is put to sleep and a special io_state_done is registered that will awaken the caller. Though also in sync mode all operations are executed in parallel. Signed-off-by: Boaz Harrosh <bharrosh@panasas.com>
2009-12-10exofs: Move all operations to an io_engineBoaz Harrosh
In anticipation for multi-device operations, we separate osd operations into an abstract I/O API. Currently only one device is used but later when adding more devices, we will drive all devices in parallel according to a "data_map" that describes how data is arranged on multiple devices. The file system level operates, like before, as if there is one object (inode-number) and an i_size. The io engine will split this to the same object-number but on multiple device. At first we introduce Mirror (raid 1) layout. But at the final outcome we intend to fully implement the pNFS-Objects data-map, including raid 0,4,5,6 over mirrored devices, over multiple device-groups. And more. See: http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-nfsv4-pnfs-obj-12 * Define an io_state based API for accessing osd storage devices in an abstract way. Usage: First a caller allocates an io state with: exofs_get_io_state(struct exofs_sb_info *sbi, struct exofs_io_state** ios); Then calles one of: exofs_sbi_create(struct exofs_io_state *ios); exofs_sbi_remove(struct exofs_io_state *ios); exofs_sbi_write(struct exofs_io_state *ios); exofs_sbi_read(struct exofs_io_state *ios); exofs_oi_truncate(struct exofs_i_info *oi, u64 new_len); And when done exofs_put_io_state(struct exofs_io_state *ios); * Convert all source files to use this new API * Convert from bio_alloc to bio_kmalloc * In io engine we make use of the now fixed osd_req_decode_sense There are no functional changes or on disk additions after this patch.

2009-09-24exofs: remove BKL from super operationsBoaz Harrosh
the two places inside exofs that where taking the BKL were: exofs_put_super() - .put_super and exofs_sync_fs() - which is .sync_fs and is also called from .write_super. Now exofs_sync_fs() is protected from itself by also taking the sb_lock. exofs_put_super() directly calls exofs_sync_fs() so there is no danger between these two either.

2009-05-11block: add rq->resid_lenTejun Heo
rq->data_len served two purposes - the length of data buffer on issue and the residual count on completion. This duality creates some headaches. First of all, block layer and low level drivers can't really determine what rq->data_len contains while a request is executing. It could be the total request length or it coulde be anything else one of the lower layers is using to keep track of residual count. This complicates things because blk_rq_bytes() and thus [__]blk_end_request_all() relies on rq->data_len for PC commands. Drivers which want to report residual count should first cache the total request length, update rq->data_len and then complete the request with the cached data length. Secondly, it makes requests default to reporting full residual count, ie. reporting that no data transfer occurred. The residual count is an exception not the norm; however, the driver should clear rq->data_len to zero to signify the normal cases while leaving it alone means no data transfer occurred at all. This reverse default behavior complicates code unnecessarily and renders block PC on some drivers (ide-tape/floppy) unuseable. This patch adds rq->resid_len which is used only for residual count. While at it, remove now unnecessasry blk_rq_bytes() caching in ide_pc_intr() as rq->data_len is not changed anymore.
