2008-11-06jbd2: Call journal commit callback without holding j_list_lockAneesh Kumar K.V
Avoid freeing the transaction in __jbd2_journal_drop_transaction() so the journal commit callback can run without holding j_list_lock, to avoid lock contention on this spinlock. Signed-off-by: Aneesh Kumar K.V <aneesh.kumar@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: "Theodore Ts'o" <tytso@mit.edu>

jbd2_log_do_checkpoint()n is one of the kernel's largest stack users. Move the array of buffer head's from the stack of jbd2_log_do_checkpoint() to the in-core journal structure. Signed-off-by: "Theodore Ts'o" <tytso@mit.edu>
2008-11-06jbd2: don't give up looking for space so easily in __jbd2_log_wait_for_spaceTheodore Ts'o
Commit 23f8b79e introducd a regression because it assumed that if there were no transactions ready to be checkpointed, that no progress could be made on making space available in the journal, and so the journal should be aborted. This assumption is false; it could be the case that simply calling jbd2_cleanup_journal_tail() will recover the necessary space, or, for small journals, the currently committing transaction could be responsible for chewing up the required space in the log, so we need to wait for the currently committing transaction to finish before trying to force a checkpoint operation.

2008-10-10jbd2: fix error handling for checkpoint ioHidehiro Kawai
When a checkpointing IO fails, current JBD2 code doesn't check the error and continue journaling. This means latest metadata can be lost from both the journal and filesystem. This patch leaves the failed metadata blocks in the journal space and aborts journaling in the case of jbd2_log_do_checkpoint(). To achieve this, we need to do: 1. don't remove the failed buffer from the checkpoint list where in the case of __try_to_free_cp_buf() because it may be released or overwritten by a later transaction 2. jbd2_log_do_checkpoint() is the last chance, remove the failed buffer from the checkpoint list and abort the journal 3. when checkpointing fails, don't update the journal super block to prevent the journaled contents from being cleaned. For safety, don't update j_tail and j_tail_sequence either 4. when checkpointing fails, notify this error to the ext4 layer so that ext4 don't clear the needs_recovery flag, otherwise the journaled contents are ignored and cleaned in the recovery phase 5. if the recovery fails, keep the needs_recovery flag 6. prevent jbd2_cleanup_journal_tail() from being called between __jbd2_journal_drop_transaction() and jbd2_journal_abort() (a possible race issue between jbd2_log_do_checkpoint()s called by jbd2_journal_flush() and __jbd2_log_wait_for_space()) Signed-off-by: Hidehiro Kawai <hidehiro.kawai.ez@hitachi.com> Signed-off-by: Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>

2008-10-08jbd2: abort instead of waiting for nonexistent transactionDuane Griffin
The __jbd2_log_wait_for_space function sits in a loop checkpointing transactions until there is sufficient space free in the journal. However, if there are no transactions to be processed (e.g. because the free space calculation is wrong due to a corrupted filesystem) it will never progress. Check for space being required when no transactions are outstanding and abort the journal instead of endlessly looping.

2008-01-30spinlock: lockbreak cleanupNick Piggin
The break_lock data structure and code for spinlocks is quite nasty. Not only does it double the size of a spinlock but it changes locking to a potentially less optimal trylock. Put all of that under CONFIG_GENERIC_LOCKBREAK, and introduce a __raw_spin_is_contended that uses the lock data itself to determine whether there are waiters on the lock, to be used if CONFIG_GENERIC_LOCKBREAK is not set. Rename need_lockbreak to spin_needbreak, make it use spin_is_contended to decouple it from the spinlock implementation, and make it typesafe (rwlocks do not have any need_lockbreak sites -- why do they even get bloated up with that break_lock then?).

2008-01-28jbd2: jbd2 stats through procfsJohann Lombardi
The patch below updates the jbd stats patch to 2.6.20/jbd2. The initial patch was posted by Alex Tomas in December 2005 (http://marc.info/?l=linux-ext4&m=113538565128617&w=2). It provides statistics via procfs such as transaction lifetime and size. Sometimes, investigating performance problems, i find useful to have stats from jbd about transaction's lifetime, size, etc. here is a patch for review and inclusion probably. for example, stats after creation of 3M files in htree directory: [root@bob ~]# cat /proc/fs/jbd/sda/history R/C tid wait run lock flush log hndls block inlog ctime write drop close R 261 8260 2720 0 0 750 9892 8170 8187 C 259 750 0 4885 1 R 262 20 2200 10 0 770 9836 8170 8187 R 263 30 2200 10 0 3070 9812 8170 8187 R 264 0 5000 10 0 1340 0 0 0 C 261 8240 3212 4957 0 R 265 8260 1470 0 0 4640 9854 8170 8187 R 266 0 5000 10 0 1460 0 0 0 C 262 8210 2989 4868 0 R 267 8230 1490 10 0 4440 9875 8171 8188 R 268 0 5000 10 0 1260 0 0 0 C 263 7710 2937 4908 0 R 269 7730 1470 10 0 3330 9841 8170 8187 R 270 0 5000 10 0 830 0 0 0 C 265 8140 3234 4898 0 C 267 720 0 4849 1 R 271 8630 2740 20 0 740 9819 8170 8187 C 269 800 0 4214 1 R 272 40 2170 10 0 830 9716 8170 8187 R 273 40 2280 0 0 3530 9799 8170 8187 R 274 0 5000 10 0 990 0 0 0 where, R - line for transaction's life from T_RUNNING to T_FINISHED C - line for transaction's checkpointing tid - transaction's id wait - for how long we were waiting for new transaction to start (the longest period journal_start() took in this transaction) run - real transaction's lifetime (from T_RUNNING to T_LOCKED lock - how long we were waiting for all handles to close (time the transaction was in T_LOCKED) flush - how long it took to flush all data (data=ordered) log - how long it took to write the transaction to the log hndls - how many handles got to the transaction block - how many blocks got to the transaction inlog - how many blocks are written to the log (block + descriptors) ctime - how long it took to checkpoint the transaction write - how many blocks have been written during checkpointing drop - how many blocks have been dropped during checkpointing close - how many running transactions have been closed to checkpoint this one all times are in msec.

2008-01-28jbd2: Fix assertion failure in fs/jbd2/checkpoint.cJan Kara
Before we start committing a transaction, we call __journal_clean_checkpoint_list() to cleanup transaction's written-back buffers. If this call happens to remove all of them (and there were already some buffers), __journal_remove_checkpoint() will decide to free the transaction because it isn't (yet) a committing transaction and soon we fail some assertion - the transaction really isn't ready to be freed :). We change the check in __journal_remove_checkpoint() to free only a transaction in T_FINISHED state. The locking there is subtle though (as everywhere in JBD ;(). We use j_list_lock to protect the check and a subsequent call to __journal_drop_transaction() and do the same in the end of journal_commit_transaction() which is the only place where a transaction can get to T_FINISHED state. Probably I'm too paranoid here and such locking is not really necessary - checkpoint lists are processed only from log_do_checkpoint() where a transaction must be already committed to be processed or from __journal_clean_checkpoint_list() where kjournald itself calls it and thus transaction cannot change state either. Better be safe if something changes in future... Signed-off-by: Jan Kara <jack@suse.cz> Cc: <linux-ext4@vger.kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org>
