2008-02-07[XFS] fix 32-bit compat ioctls for GETXFLAGS, SETXFLAGS, GETVERSIONEric Sandeen
XFS_IOC_GETVERSION, XFS_IOC_GETXFLAGS and XFS_IOC_SETXFLAGS all take a "long" which changes size between 32 and 64 bit platforms. So, the ioctl cmds that come in from a 32-bit app aren't as expected, for example on GETXFLAGS, unknown cmd fd(3) cmd(80046601){t:'f';sz:4} due to the size mismatch. So, use instead the 32-bit version of the commands for compat ioctls, and other than that it doesn't take any more manipulation. Also, for both native and compat versions, just define them to the values as defined in fs.h SGI-PV: 971186 SGI-Modid: xfs-linux-melb:xfs-kern:29849a Signed-off-by: Eric Sandeen <sandeen@sandeen.net> Signed-off-by: Lachlan McIlroy <lachlan@sgi.com> Signed-off-by: Tim Shimmin <tes@sgi.com>
2008-02-07[XFS] kill superflous buffer lockingChristoph Hellwig
There is no need to lock any page in xfs_buf.c because we operate on our own address_space and all locking is covered by the buffer semaphore. If we ever switch back to main blockdeive address_space as suggested e.g. for fsblock with a similar scheme the locking will have to be totally revised anyway because the current scheme is neither correct nor coherent with itself.

2008-02-07[XFS] Kill off xfs_statvfs.Christoph Hellwig
We were already filling the Linux struct statfs anyway, and doing this trivial task directly in xfs_fs_statfs makes the code quite a bit cleaner. While I was at it I also moved copying attributes that don't change over the lifetime of the filesystem outside the superblock lock. xfs_fs_fill_super used to get the magic number and blocksize through xfs_statvfs, but assigning them directly is a lot cleaner and will save some stack space during mount.

2008-02-07[XFS] kill xfs_iocore_tChristoph Hellwig
xfs_iocore_t is a structure embedded in xfs_inode. Except for one field it just duplicates fields already in xfs_inode, and there is nothing this abstraction buys us on XFS/Linux. This patch removes it and shrinks source and binary size of xfs aswell as shrinking the size of xfs_inode by 60/44 bytes in debug/non-debug builds.

Currently there is an indirection called ioops in the XFS data I/O path. Various functions are called by functions pointers, but there is no coherence in what this is for, and of course for XFS itself it's entirely unused.

There is no reason to go through xfs_iomap for the BMAPI_UNWRITTEN because it has nothing in common with the other cases.

After reading the directory contents into the temporary buffer, we grab each dirent and pass it to filldir witht eh current offset of the dirent. The current offset was not being set for the first dirent in the temporary buffer, which coul dresult in bad offsets being set in the f_pos field result in looping and duplicate entries being returned from readdir.

2007-12-21[XFS] Fix mknod regressionChristoph Hellwig
This was broken by my '[XFS] simplify xfs_create/mknod/symlink prototype', which assigned the re-shuffled ondisk dev_t back to the rdev variable in xfs_vn_mknod. Because of that i_rdev is set to the ondisk dev_t instead of the linux dev_t later down the function. Fortunately the fix for it is trivial: we can just remove the assignment because xfs_revalidate_inode has done the proper job before unlocking the inode.

2007-12-18[XFS] Put the correct offset in dirent d_offLachlan McIlroy
The recent filldir regression fix was not putting the correct d_off in each dirent. This was resulting in incorrect cookies being passed to dmapi ioctls and the wrong offset appearing in the dirents. readdir was unaffected as the filp->f_pos was being updated with the correct offset and this was being written into the last dirent in each buffer. Fix the XFS code to do the right thing.

2007-12-10[XFS] Fixed a few bugs in xfs_buf_associate_memory()Lachlan McIlroy
- calculation of 'page_count' was incorrect as it did not consider the offset of 'mem' into the first page. The logic to bump 'page_count' didn't work if 'len' was <= PAGE_CACHE_SIZE (ie offset = 3k, len = 2k). - setting b_buffer_length to 'len' is incorrect if 'offset' is > 0. Set it to the total length of the buffer. - I suspect that passing a non-aligned address into mem_to_page() for the first page may have been causing issues - don't know but just tidy up that code anyway.

2007-12-10[XFS] 971064 Various fixups for xfs_bulkstat().Lachlan McIlroy
- sanity check for NULL user buffer in xfs_ioc_bulkstat[_compat]() - remove the special case for XFS_IOC_FSBULKSTAT with count == 1. This special case causes bulkstat to fail because the special case uses xfs_bulkstat_single() instead of xfs_bulkstat() and the two functions have different semantics. xfs_bulkstat() will return the next inode after the one supplied while skipping internal inodes (ie quota inodes). xfs_bulkstate_single() will only lookup the inode supplied and return an error if it is an internal inode. - in xfs_bulkstat(), need to initialise 'lastino' to the inode supplied so in cases were we return without examining any inodes the scan wont restart back at zero. - sanity check for valid *ubcountp values. Cannot sanity check for valid ubuffer here because some users of xfs_bulkstat() don't supply a buffer. - checks against 'ubleft' (the space left in the user's buffer) should be against 'statstruct_size' which is the supplied minimum object size. The mixture of checks against statstruct_size and 0 was one of the reasons we were skipping inodes. - if the formatter function returns BULKSTAT_RV_NOTHING and an error and the error is not ENOENT or EINVAL then we need to abort the scan. ENOENT is for inodes that are no longer valid and we just skip them. EINVAL is returned if we try to lookup an internal inode so we skip them too. For a DMF scan if the inode and DMF attribute cannot fit into the space left in the user's buffer it would return ERANGE. We didn't handle this error and skipped the inode. We would continue to skip inodes until one fitted into the user's buffer or we completed the scan. - put back the recalculation of agino (that got removed with the last fix) at the end of the while loop. This is because the code at the start of the loop expects agino to be the last inode examined if it is non-zero. - if we found some inodes but then encountered an error, return success this time and the error next time. If the formatter aborted with ENOMEM we will now return this error but only if we couldn't read any inodes. Previously if we encountered ENOMEM without reading any inodes we returned a zero count and no error which falsely indicated the scan was complete.

It can be produced by the following test scheme: # cat bin/test-writeback.sh grep nr_dirty /proc/vmstat echo 1 > /proc/sys/fs/inode_debug dd if=/dev/zero of=/var/x bs=1K count=204800& while true; do grep nr_dirty /proc/vmstat; sleep 1; done # bin/test-writeback.sh nr_dirty 19207 nr_dirty 19207 nr_dirty 30924 204800+0 records in 204800+0 records out 209715200 bytes (210 MB) copied, 1.58363 seconds, 132 MB/s nr_dirty 47150 nr_dirty 47141 nr_dirty 47142 nr_dirty 47142 nr_dirty 47142 nr_dirty 47142 nr_dirty 47205 nr_dirty 47214 nr_dirty 47214 nr_dirty 47214 nr_dirty 47214 nr_dirty 47214 nr_dirty 47215 nr_dirty 47216 nr_dirty 47216 nr_dirty 47216 nr_dirty 47154 nr_dirty 47143 nr_dirty 47143 nr_dirty 47143 nr_dirty 47143 nr_dirty 47143 nr_dirty 47142 nr_dirty 47142 nr_dirty 47142 nr_dirty 47142 nr_dirty 47134 nr_dirty 47134 nr_dirty 47135 nr_dirty 47135 nr_dirty 47135 nr_dirty 46097 <== -1038 nr_dirty 46098 nr_dirty 46098 nr_dirty 46098 [...] nr_dirty 46091 nr_dirty 46092 nr_dirty 46092 nr_dirty 45069 <== -1023 nr_dirty 45056 nr_dirty 45056 nr_dirty 45056 [...] nr_dirty 37822 nr_dirty 36799 <== -1023 [...] nr_dirty 36781 nr_dirty 35758 <== -1023 [...] nr_dirty 34708 nr_dirty 33672 <== -1024 [...] nr_dirty 33692 nr_dirty 32669 <== -1023 % ls -li /var/x 847824 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 200M 2007-08-12 04:12 /var/x % dmesg|grep 847824 # generated by a debug printk [ 529.263184] redirtied inode 847824 line 548 [ 564.250872] redirtied inode 847824 line 548 [ 594.272797] redirtied inode 847824 line 548 [ 629.231330] redirtied inode 847824 line 548 [ 659.224674] redirtied inode 847824 line 548 [ 689.219890] redirtied inode 847824 line 548 [ 724.226655] redirtied inode 847824 line 548 [ 759.198568] redirtied inode 847824 line 548 # line 548 in fs/fs-writeback.c: 543 if (wbc->pages_skipped != pages_skipped) { 544 /* 545 * writeback is not making progress due to locked 546 * buffers.

So basicly no page io is issued by __block_write_full_page(), hence pages_skipped goes up. Also the comment in generic_sync_sb_inodes(): 544 /* 545 * writeback is not making progress due to locked 546 * buffers. Skip this inode for now. 547 */ and the comment in __block_write_full_page(): 1713 /* 1714 * The page was marked dirty, but the buffers were 1715 * clean. Someone wrote them back by hand with 1716 * ll_rw_block/submit_bh. A rare case. 1717 */ do not quite agree with each other. The page writeback should be skipped for 'locked buffer', but here it is 'clean buffer'! This patch fixes this bug. Though I'm not sure why __block_write_full_page() is called only to do nothing and who actually issued the writeback for us. This is the two possible new behaviors after the patch: 1) pretty nice: wait 30s and write ALL:) 2) not so good: - during the dd: ~16M - after 30s: ~4M - after 5s: ~4M - after 5s: ~176M The next patch will fix case (2).

2007-10-17[XFS] eagerly remove vmap mappings to avoid upsetting XenJeremy Fitzhardinge
XFS leaves stray mappings around when it vmaps memory to make it virtually contigious. This upsets Xen if one of those pages is being recycled into a pagetable, since it finds an extra writable mapping of the page. This patch solves the problem in a brute force way, by making XFS always eagerly unmap its mappings.

2007-10-16[XFS] no longer using io_vnode, as was remaining from 23 cherrypickTim Shimmin
Because we cherrypicked SGI-Modid xfs-linux-melb:xfs-kern:29675a and it depended on the sgi mod which removed io_vnode (which was not cherrypicked in 23) it was hand modified. This fixes things back up (to the originial mod) now we have moved on again. Reviewed-by: Lachlan McIlroy <lachlan@sgi.com> Signed-off-by: Tim Shimmin <tes@sgi.com>
2007-10-16[XFS] Put back the QUEUE_ORDERED_NONE test in the barrier check.Tim Shimmin
Put back the QUEUE_ORDERED_NONE test which caused us grief in sles when it was taken out as, IIRC, it allowed md/lvm to be thought of as supporting barriers when they weren't in some configurations. This patch will be reverting what went in as part of a change for the SGI-pv 964544 (SGI-Modid: xfs-linux-melb:xfs-kern:28568a).

2007-10-16[XFS] avoid race in sync_inodes() that can fail to write out all dirty dataLachlan McIlroy
In xfs_fs_sync_super() treat a sync the same as a filesystem freeze. This is needed to force the log to disk for inodes which are not marked dirty in the Linux inode (the inodes are marked dirty on completion of the log I/O) and so sync_inodes() will not flush them. In xfs_fs_write_inode() a synchronous flush will not get an EAGAIN from xfs_inode_flush() and if an asynchronous flush returns EAGAIN we should pass it on to the caller. If we get an error while flushing the inode then re-dirty it so we can try again later.

Simplify the prototype for xfs_create/xfs_mkdir/xfs_symlink by not passing down a bhv_vattr_t that just hogs stack space. Instead pass down the mode in a mode_t and in case of xfs_create the rdev as a scalar type as well.

Add a helper called xfs_ioc_fsgetxattr instead that deals with retrieving the information in a clean way.

2007-10-16[XFS] ensure file size is logged on synchronous writesLachlan McIlroy
Synchronous writes currently log inode changes before syncing pages to disk. Since the file size is updated on I/O completion we wont be writing out the updated file size and if we crash the file will have the wrong size. This change moves the logging after the syncing of the pages to ensure we log the correct file size.

All flags are added to xfs_mount's m_flag instead. Note that the 32bit inode flag was duplicated in both of them, but only cleared in the mount when it was not nessecary due to the filesystem beeing small enough. Two flags are still required here - one to indicate the mount option setting, and one to indicate if it applies or not.

vfs_altfsid was just a pointer to mp->m_fixedfsid so we can trivially replace it with the latter. vfs_fsid also was identical to m_fixedfsid through rather obfuscated ways so we can kill it as well and simply its only user.
