jbd2: fix checkpoint list cleanup

2015-10-18T02:35:09+00:00

Unlike comments and expectation of callers journal_clean_one_cp_list()
returned 1 not only if it freed the transaction but also if it freed
some buffers in the transaction. That could make
__jbd2_journal_clean_checkpoint_list() skip processing
t_checkpoint_io_list and continue with processing the next transaction.
This is mostly a cosmetic issue since the only result is we can
sometimes free less memory than we could. But it's still worth fixing.
Fix journal_clean_one_cp_list() to return 1 only if the transaction was
really freed.

jbd2: avoid infinite loop when destroying aborted journal

2015-07-28T18:57:14+00:00

Commit 6f6a6fda2945 "jbd2: fix ocfs2 corrupt when updating journal
superblock fails" changed jbd2_cleanup_journal_tail() to return EIO
when the journal is aborted. That makes logic in
jbd2_log_do_checkpoint() bail out which is fine, except that
jbd2_journal_destroy() expects jbd2_log_do_checkpoint() to always make
a progress in cleaning the journal. Without it jbd2_journal_destroy()
just loops in an infinite loop.

Fix jbd2_journal_destroy() to cleanup journal checkpoint lists of
jbd2_log_do_checkpoint() fails with error.

jbd2: fix ocfs2 corrupt when updating journal superblock fails

2015-06-15T18:36:01+00:00

If updating journal superblock fails after journal data has been
flushed, the error is omitted and this will mislead the caller as a
normal case.  In ocfs2, the checkpoint will be treated successfully
and the other node can get the lock to update. Since the sb_start is
still pointing to the old log block, it will rewrite the journal data
during journal recovery by the other node. Thus the new updates will
be overwritten and ocfs2 corrupts.  So in above case we have to return
the error, and ocfs2_commit_cache will take care of the error and
prevent the other node to do update first.  And only after recovering
journal it can do the new updates.

[ Fixed bug in patch which allowed a non-negative error return from
  jbd2_cleanup_journal_tail() to leak out of jbd2_fjournal_flush(); this
  was causing xfstests ext4/306 to fail. -- Ted ]

jbd2: use GFP_NOFS in jbd2_cleanup_journal_tail()

2015-06-15T04:18:02+00:00

jbd2_cleanup_journal_tail() can be invoked by jbd2__journal_start()
So allocations should be done with GFP_NOFS

jbd2: simplify calling convention around __jbd2_journal_clean_checkpoint_list

2014-09-18T04:58:12+00:00

__jbd2_journal_clean_checkpoint_list() returns number of buffers it
freed but noone was using the value so just stop doing that. This
also allows for simplifying the calling convention for
journal_clean_once_cp_list().

jbd2: avoid pointless scanning of checkpoint lists

2014-09-18T04:42:16+00:00

Yuanhan has reported that when he is running fsync(2) heavy workload
creating new files over ramdisk, significant amount of time is spent in
__jbd2_journal_clean_checkpoint_list() trying to clean old transactions
(but they cannot be cleaned up because flusher hasn't yet checkpointed
those buffers). The workload can be generated by:
  fs_mark -d /fs/ram0/1 -D 2 -N 2560 -n 1000000 -L 1 -S 1 -s 4096

Reduce the amount of scanning by stopping to scan the transaction list
once we find a transaction that cannot be checkpointed. Note that this
way of cleaning is still enough to keep freeing space in the journal
after fully checkpointed transactions.

jbd2: jbd2_log_wait_for_space improve error detetcion

2014-09-16T18:50:50+00:00

If EIO happens after we have dropped j_state_lock, we won't notice
that the journal has been aborted.  So it is reasonable to move this
check after we have grabbed the j_checkpoint_mutex and re-grabbed the
j_state_lock.  This patch helps to prevent false positive complain
after EIO.

jbd2: optimize jbd2_log_do_checkpoint() a bit

2014-09-04T22:09:29+00:00

When we discover written out buffer in transaction checkpoint list we
don't have to recheck validity of a transaction. Either this is the
last buffer in a transaction - and then we are done - or this isn't
and then we can just take another buffer from the checkpoint list
without dropping j_list_lock.

jbd2: don't call get_bh() before calling __jbd2_journal_remove_checkpoint()

2014-09-04T22:09:22+00:00

The __jbd2_journal_remove_checkpoint() doesn't require an elevated
b_count; indeed, until the jh structure gets released by the call to
jbd2_journal_put_journal_head(), the bh's b_count is elevated by
virtue of the existence of the jh structure.
