2008-07-11jbd2: Implement data=ordered mode handling via inodesJan Kara
This patch adds necessary framework into JBD2 to be able to track inodes with each transaction and write-out their dirty data during transaction commit time. This new ordered mode brings all sorts of advantages such as possibility to get rid of journal heads and buffer heads for data buffers in ordered mode, better ordering of writes on transaction commit, simplification of some JBD code, no more anonymous pages when truncate of data being committed happens. Also with this new ordered mode, delayed allocation on ordered mode is much simpler. Signed-off-by: Jan Kara <jack@suse.cz>
2008-07-13jbd2: fix race between jbd2_journal_try_to_free_buffers() and jbd2 commit ↵Mingming Cao
transaction journal_try_to_free_buffers() could race with jbd commit transaction when the later is holding the buffer reference while waiting for the data buffer to flush to disk. If the caller of journal_try_to_free_buffers() request tries hard to release the buffers, it will treat the failure as error and return back to the caller. We have seen the directo IO failed due to this race. Some of the caller of releasepage() also expecting the buffer to be dropped when passed with GFP_KERNEL mask to the releasepage()->journal_try_to_free_buffers(). With this patch, if the caller is passing the GFP_KERNEL to indicating this call could wait, in case of try_to_free_buffers() failed, let's waiting for journal_commit_transaction() to finish commit the current committing transaction , then try to free those buffers again with journal locked.

2008-04-17jbd2: fix possible journal overflow issuesJosef Bacik
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.

2008-04-17jbd2: fix the way the b_modified flag is clearedJosef Bacik
Currently at the start of a journal commit we loop through all of the buffers on the committing transaction and clear the b_modified flag (the flag that is set when a transaction modifies the buffer) under the j_list_lock. The problem is that everywhere else this flag is modified only under the jbd2 lock buffer flag, so it will race with a running transaction who could potentially set it, and have it unset by the committing transaction. This is also a big waste, you can have several thousands of buffers that you are clearing the modified flag on when you may not need to. This patch removes this code and instead clears the b_modified flag upon entering do_get_write_access/journal_get_create_access, so if that transaction does indeed use the buffer then it will be accounted for properly, and if it does not then we know we didn't use it. That will be important for the next patch in this series. Tested thoroughly by myself using postmark/iozone/bonnie++.

2008-01-28jbd2: Use round-jiffies() function for the "5 second" ext4/jbd2 wakeupMingming Cao
While "every 5 seconds" doesn't sound as a problem, there can be many of these (and these timers do add up over all the kernel). The "5 second" wakeup isn't really timing sensitive; in addition even with rounding it'll still happen every 5 seconds (with the exception of the very first time, which is likely to be rounded up to somewhere closer to 6 seconds) (Ported from similar JBD patch made by Arjan van de Ven to fs/jbd/transaction.c) Cc: Arjan van de Ven <arjan@linux.intel.com> Cc: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Mingming Cao <cmm@us.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: "Theodore Ts'o" <tytso@mit.edu>

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.

2006-10-28[PATCH] jbd2: journal_dirty_data re-check for unmapped buffersEric Sandeen
When running several fsx's and other filesystem stress tests, we found cases where an unmapped buffer was still being sent to submit_bh by the ext3 dirty data journaling code. I saw this happen in two ways, both related to another thread doing a truncate which would unmap the buffer in question. Either we would get into journal_dirty_data with a bh which was already unmapped (although journal_dirty_data_fn had checked for this earlier, the state was not locked at that point), or it would get unmapped in the middle of journal_dirty_data when we dropped locks to call sync_dirty_buffer. By re-checking for mapped state after we've acquired the bh state lock, we should avoid these races. If we find a buffer which is no longer mapped, we essentially ignore it, because journal_unmap_buffer has already decided that this buffer can go away. I've also added tracepoints in these two cases, and made a couple other tracepoint changes that I found useful in debugging this.

2006-10-20[PATCH] ext3/4: fix J_ASSERT(transaction->t_updates > 0) in journal_stop()OGAWA Hirofumi
A disk generated some I/O error, after it, I hitted J_ASSERT(transaction->t_updates > 0) in journal_stop(). It seems to happened on ext3_truncate() path from stack trace. Then, maybe the following case may trigger J_ASSERT(transaction->t_updates > 0). ext3_truncate() -> ext3_free_branches() -> ext3_journal_test_restart() -> ext3_journal_restart() -> journal_restart() transaction->t_updates--; /* another process aborted journal */ -> start_this_handle() returns -EROFS without transaction->t_updates++; -> ext3_journal_stop() -> journal_stop() J_ASSERT(transaction->t_updates > 0) If journal was aborted in middle of journal_restart(), ext3_truncate() may trigger J_ASSERT().
