2008-02-07[XFS] Move AIL pushing into it's own threadDavid Chinner
When many hundreds to thousands of threads all try to do simultaneous transactions and the log is in a tail-pushing situation (i.e. full), we can get multiple threads walking the AIL list and contending on the AIL lock. The AIL push is, in effect, a simple I/O dispatch algorithm complicated by the ordering constraints placed on it by the transaction subsystem. It really does not need multiple threads to push on it - even when only a single CPU is pushing the AIL, it can push the I/O out far faster that pretty much any disk subsystem can handle. So, to avoid contention problems stemming from multiple list walkers, move the list walk off into another thread and simply provide a "target" to push to. When a thread requires a push, it sets the target and wakes the push thread, then goes to sleep waiting for the required amount of space to become available in the log. This mechanism should also be a lot fairer under heavy load as the waiters will queue in arrival order, rather than queuing in "who completed a push first" order. Also, by moving the pushing to a separate thread we can do more effectively overload detection and prevention as we can keep context from loop iteration to loop iteration. That is, we can push only part of the list each loop and not have to loop back to the start of the list every time we run. This should also help by reducing the number of items we try to lock and/or push items that we cannot move. Note that this patch is not intended to solve the inefficiencies in the AIL structure and the associated issues with extremely large list contents. That needs to be addresses separately; parallel access would cause problems to any new structure as well, so I'm only aiming to isolate the structure from unbounded parallelism here.

2008-02-07[XFS] Refactor xfs_mountfsEric Sandeen
Refactoring xfs_mountfs() to call sub-functions for logical chunks can help save a bit of stack, and can make it easier to read this long function. The mount path is one of the longest common callchains, easily getting to within a few bytes of the end of a 4k stack when over lvm, quotas are enabled, and quotacheck must be done. With this change on top of the other stack-related changes I've sent, I can get xfs to survive a normal xfsqa run on 4k stacks over lvm.

2007-10-15[XFS] Radix tree based inode cachingDavid Chinner
One of the perpetual scaling problems XFS has is indexing it's incore inodes. We currently uses hashes and the default hash sizes chosen can only ever be a tradeoff between memory consumption and the maximum realistic size of the cache. As a result, anyone who has millions of inodes cached on a filesystem needs to tunes the size of the cache via the ihashsize mount option to allow decent scalability with inode cache operations. A further problem is the separate inode cluster hash, whose size is based on the ihashsize but is smaller, and so under certain conditions (sparse cluster cache population) this can become a limitation long before the inode hash is causing issues. The following patchset removes the inode hash and cluster hash and replaces them with radix trees to avoid the scalability limitations of the hashes. It also reduces the size of the inodes by 3 pointers....

2007-07-14[XFS] Prevent ENOSPC from aborting transactions that need to succeedDavid Chinner
During delayed allocation extent conversion or unwritten extent conversion, we need to reserve some blocks for transactions reservations. We need to reserve these blocks in case a btree split occurs and we need to allocate some blocks. Unfortunately, we've only ever reserved the number of data blocks we are allocating, so in both the unwritten and delalloc case we can get ENOSPC to the transaction reservation. This is bad because in both cases we cannot report the failure to the writing application. The fix is two-fold: 1 - leverage the reserved block infrastructure XFS already has to reserve a small pool of blocks by default to allow specially marked transactions to dip into when we are at ENOSPC. Default setting is min(5%, 1024 blocks). 2 - convert critical transaction reservations to be allowed to dip into this pool. Spots changed are delalloc conversion, unwritten extent conversion and growing a filesystem at ENOSPC. This also allows growing the filesytsem to succeed at ENOSPC.

2007-07-14[XFS] Prevent deadlock when flushing inodes on unmountDavid Chinner
When we are unmounting the filesystem, we flush all the inodes to disk. Unfortunately, if we have an inode cluster that has just been freed and marked stale sitting in an incore log buffer (i.e. hasn't been flushed to disk), it will be holding all the flush locks on the inodes in that cluster. xfs_iflush_all() which is called during unmount walks all the inodes trying to reclaim them, and it doing so calls xfs_finish_reclaim() on each inode. If the inode is dirty, if grabs the flush lock and flushes it. Unfortunately, find dirty inodes that already have their flush lock held and so we sleep. At this point in the unmount process, we are running single-threaded. There is nothing more that can push on the log to force the transaction holding the inode flush locks to disk and hence we deadlock. The fix is to issue a log force before flushing the inodes on unmount so that all the flush locks will be released before we start flushing the inodes.

2007-07-14[XFS] Lazy Superblock CountersDavid Chinner
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....

2007-05-09Add suspend-related notifications for CPU hotplugRafael J. Wysocki
Since nonboot CPUs are now disabled after tasks and devices have been frozen and the CPU hotplug infrastructure is used for this purpose, we need special CPU hotplug notifications that will help the CPU-hotplug-aware subsystems distinguish normal CPU hotplug events from CPU hotplug events related to a system-wide suspend or resume operation in progress. This patch introduces such notifications and causes them to be used during suspend and resume transitions. It also changes all of the CPU-hotplug-aware subsystems to take these notifications into consideration (for now they are handled in the same way as the corresponding "normal" ones).

2007-02-10[XFS] Reduction global superblock lock contention near ENOSPC.David Chinner
The existing per-cpu superblock counter code uses the global superblock spin lock when we approach ENOSPC for global synchronisation. On larger machines than this code was originally tested on this can still get catastrophic spinlock contention due increasing rebalance frequency near ENOSPC. By introducing a sleeping lock that is used to serialise balances and modifications near ENOSPC we prevent contention from needlessly from wasting the CPU time of potentially hundreds of CPUs. To reduce the number of balances occuring, we separate the need rebalance case from the slow allocate case. Now, a counter running dry will trigger a rebalance during which counters are disabled. Any thread that sees a disabled counter enters a different path where it waits on the new mutex. When it gets the new mutex, it checks if the counter is disabled. If the counter is disabled, then we _know_ that we have to use the global counter and lock and it is safe to do so immediately. Otherwise, we drop the mutex and go back to trying the per-cpu counters which we know were re-enabled.

2006-09-07[XFS] Prevent free space oversubscription and xfssyncd looping.David Chinner
The fix for recent ENOSPC deadlocks introduced certain limitations on allocations. The fix could cause xfssyncd to loop endlessly if we did not leave some space free for the allocator to work correctly. Basically, we needed to ensure that we had at least 4 blocks free for an AG free list and a block for the inode bmap btree at all times. However, this did not take into account the fact that each AG has a free list that needs 4 blocks. Hence any filesystem with more than one AG could cause oversubscription of free space and make xfssyncd spin forever trying to allocate space needed for AG freelists that was not available in the AG. The following patch reserves space for the free lists in all AGs plus the inode bmap btree which prevents oversubscription. It also prevents those blocks from being reported as free space (as they can never be used) and makes the SMP in-core superblock accounting code and the reserved block ioctl respect this requirement.

2006-06-09[XFS] In actual allocation of file system blocks and freeing extents, theYingping Lu
transaction within each such operation may involve multiple locking of AGF buffer. While the freeing extent function has sorted the extents based on AGF number before entering into transaction, however, when the file system space is very limited, the allocation of space would try every AGF to get space allocated, this could potentially cause out-of-order locking, thus deadlock could happen. This fix mitigates the scarce space for allocation by setting aside a few blocks without reservation, and avoid deadlock by maintaining ascending order of AGF locking.

a preēmpt counter overflow at 256p and above. Change the exclusion mechanism to use atomic bit operations and busy wait loops to emulate the spin lock exclusion mechanism but without the preempt count issues.

threads, the incore superblock lock becomes the limiting factor for buffered write throughput. Make the contended fields in the incore superblock use per-cpu counters so that there is no global lock to limit scalability.
