ext4: fix overhead calculation used by ext4_statfs()

2012-08-09T15:31:41+00:00

commit 952fc18ef9ec707ebdc16c0786ec360295e5ff15 upstream.

Commit f975d6bcc7a introduced bug which caused ext4_statfs() to
miscalculate the number of file system overhead blocks.  This causes
the f_blocks field in the statfs structure to be larger than it should
be.  This would in turn cause the "df" output to show the number of
data blocks in the file system and the number of data blocks used to
be larger than they should be.

ext4: pass a char * to ext4_count_free() instead of a buffer_head ptr

2012-08-09T15:31:40+00:00

commit f6fb99cadcd44660c68e13f6eab28333653621e6 upstream.

Make it possible for ext4_count_free to operate on buffers and not
just data in buffer_heads.

ext4: address scalability issue by removing extent cache statistics

2012-04-16T16:16:20+00:00

Andi Kleen and Tim Chen have reported that under certain circumstances
the extent cache statistics are causing scalability problems due to
cache line bounces.

Merge branch 'for-3.4' of git://linux-nfs.org/~bfields/linux

2012-03-29T21:53:25+00:00

Pull nfsd changes from Bruce Fields:

Highlights:
 - Benny Halevy and Tigran Mkrtchyan implemented some more 4.1 features,
   moving us closer to a complete 4.1 implementation.
 - Bernd Schubert fixed a long-standing problem with readdir cookies on
   ext2/3/4.
 - Jeff Layton performed a long-overdue overhaul of the server reboot
   recovery code which will allow us to deprecate the current code (a
   rather unusual user of the vfs), and give us some needed flexibility
   for further improvements.
 - Like the client, we now support numeric uid's and gid's in the
   auth_sys case, allowing easier upgrades from NFSv2/v3 to v4.x.

Plus miscellaneous bugfixes and cleanup.

Thanks to everyone!

There are also some delegation fixes waiting on vfs review that I
suppose will have to wait for 3.5.  With that done I think we'll finally
turn off the "EXPERIMENTAL" dependency for v4 (though that's mostly
symbolic as it's been on by default in distro's for a while).

And the list of 4.1 todo's should be achievable for 3.5 as well:

   http://wiki.linux-nfs.org/wiki/index.php/Server_4.0_and_4.1_issues

though we may still want a bit more experience with it before turning it
on by default.

ext4: return 32/64-bit dir name hash according to usage type

2012-03-19T02:44:40+00:00

Traditionally ext2/3/4 has returned a 32-bit hash value from llseek()
to appease NFSv2, which can only handle a 32-bit cookie for seekdir()
and telldir().  However, this causes problems if there are 32-bit hash
collisions, since the NFSv2 server can get stuck resending the same
entries from the directory repeatedly.

Allow ext4 to return a full 64-bit hash (both major and minor) for
telldir to decrease the chance of hash collisions.  This still needs
integration on the NFS side.

ext4: add comments to definition of ext4_io_end_t

2012-03-05T15:40:22+00:00

This should make it more clear what this structure is used
for, and how some of the (mutually exclusive) fields are
used to keep page cache references.

ext4: fix race between sync and completed io work

2012-03-05T15:29:52+00:00

The following command line will leave the aio-stress process unkillable
on an ext4 file system (in my case, mounted on /mnt/test):

aio-stress -t 20 -s 10 -O -S -o 2 -I 1000 /mnt/test/aiostress.3561.4 /mnt/test/aiostress.3561.4.20 /mnt/test/aiostress.3561.4.19 /mnt/test/aiostress.3561.4.18 /mnt/test/aiostress.3561.4.17 /mnt/test/aiostress.3561.4.16 /mnt/test/aiostress.3561.4.15 /mnt/test/aiostress.3561.4.14 /mnt/test/aiostress.3561.4.13 /mnt/test/aiostress.3561.4.12 /mnt/test/aiostress.3561.4.11 /mnt/test/aiostress.3561.4.10 /mnt/test/aiostress.3561.4.9 /mnt/test/aiostress.3561.4.8 /mnt/test/aiostress.3561.4.7 /mnt/test/aiostress.3561.4.6 /mnt/test/aiostress.3561.4.5 /mnt/test/aiostress.3561.4.4 /mnt/test/aiostress.3561.4.3 /mnt/test/aiostress.3561.4.2

This is using the aio-stress program from the xfstests test suite.
That particular command line tells aio-stress to do random writes to
20 files from 20 threads (one thread per file). The files are NOT
preallocated, so you will get writes to random offsets within the
file, thus creating holes and extending i_size. It also opens the
file with O_DIRECT and O_SYNC.

On to the problem. When an I/O requires unwritten extent conversion,
it is queued onto the completed_io_list for the ext4 inode. Two code
paths will pull work items from this list. The first is the
ext4_end_io_work routine, and the second is ext4_flush_completed_IO,
which is called via the fsync path (and O_SYNC handling, as well).
There are two issues I've found in these code paths. First, if the
fsync path beats the work routine to a particular I/O, the work
routine will free the io_end structure! It does not take into account
the fact that the io_end may still be in use by the fsync path. I've
fixed this issue by adding yet another IO_END flag, indicating that
the io_end is being processed by the fsync path.

The second problem is that the work routine will make an assignment to
io->flag outside of the lock. I have witnessed this result in a hang
at umount. Moving the flag setting inside the lock resolved that
problem.

The problem was introduced by commit b82e384c7b ("ext4: optimize
locking for end_io extent conversion"), which first appeared in 3.2.
As such, the fix should be backported to that release (probably along
with the unwritten extent conversion race fix).
