jbd2: Fix endian mixing problems in the checksumming code

2013-08-28T18:59:58+00:00

In the jbd2 checksumming code, explicitly declare separate variables with
endianness information so that we don't get confused and screw things up again.
Also fixes sparse warnings.

jbd2: fix duplicate debug label for phase 2

2013-06-13T02:56:35+00:00

Currently we see this output:

  $git grep phase fs/jbd2
  fs/jbd2/commit.c:       jbd_debug(3, "JBD2: commit phase 1\n");
  fs/jbd2/commit.c:       jbd_debug(3, "JBD2: commit phase 2\n");
  fs/jbd2/commit.c:       jbd_debug(3, "JBD2: commit phase 2\n");
  fs/jbd2/commit.c:       jbd_debug(3, "JBD2: commit phase 3\n");
  fs/jbd2/commit.c:       jbd_debug(3, "JBD2: commit phase 4\n");
  [...]

There is clearly a duplicate label for phase 2, and they are
both active (i.e. not in #if ... #else block).  Rename them to
be "2a" and "2b" so the debug output is unambiguous.

jbd2: relocate assert after state lock in journal_commit_transaction()

2013-06-13T02:46:35+00:00

The state lock is taken after we are doing an assert on the state
value, not before.  So we might in fact be doing an assert on a
transient value.  Ensure the state check is within the scope of
the state lock being taken.

jbd2: transaction reservation support

2013-06-04T16:35:11+00:00

In some cases we cannot start a transaction because of locking
constraints and passing started transaction into those places is not
handy either because we could block transaction commit for too long.
Transaction reservation is designed to solve these issues.  It
reserves a handle with given number of credits in the journal and the
handle can be later attached to the running transaction without
blocking on commit or checkpointing.  Reserved handles do not block
transaction commit in any way, they only reduce maximum size of the
running transaction (because we have to always be prepared to
accomodate request for attaching reserved handle).

jbd2: refine waiting for shadow buffers

2013-06-04T16:08:56+00:00

Currently when we add a buffer to a transaction, we wait until the
buffer is removed from BJ_Shadow list (so that we prevent any changes
to the buffer that is just written to the journal).  This can take
unnecessarily long as a lot happens between the time the buffer is
submitted to the journal and the time when we remove the buffer from
BJ_Shadow list.  (e.g.  We wait for all data buffers in the
transaction, we issue a cache flush, etc.)  Also this creates a
dependency of do_get_write_access() on transaction commit (namely
waiting for data IO to complete) which we want to avoid when
implementing transaction reservation.

So we modify commit code to set new BH_Shadow flag when temporary
shadowing buffer is created and we clear that flag once IO on that
buffer is complete.  This allows do_get_write_access() to wait only
for BH_Shadow bit and thus removes the dependency on data IO
completion.

jbd2: remove journal_head from descriptor buffers

2013-06-04T16:06:01+00:00

Similarly as for metadata buffers, also log descriptor buffers don't
really need the journal head. So strip it and remove BJ_LogCtl list.

jbd2: don't create journal_head for temporary journal buffers

2013-06-04T16:01:45+00:00

When writing metadata to the journal, we create temporary buffer heads
for that task.  We also attach journal heads to these buffer heads but
the only purpose of the journal heads is to keep buffers linked in
transaction's BJ_IO list.  We remove the need for journal heads by
reusing buffer_head's b_assoc_buffers list for that purpose.  Also
since BJ_IO list is just a temporary list for transaction commit, we
use a private list in jbd2_journal_commit_transaction() for that thus
removing BJ_IO list from transaction completely.

jbd2: fix block tag checksum verification brokenness

2013-05-28T11:31:59+00:00

Al Viro complained of a ton of bogosity with regards to the jbd2 block
tag header checksum.  This one checksum is 16 bits, so cut off the
upper 16 bits and treat it as a 16-bit value and don't mess around
with be32* conversions.  Fortunately metadata checksumming is still
"experimental" and not in a shipping e2fsprogs, so there should be few
users affected by this.

jbd2: fix race between jbd2_journal_remove_checkpoint and ->j_commit_callback

In order to demonstrace this issue one should mount ext4 with mount -o
discard option on SSD disk.  This makes callback longer and race
window becomes wider.

In order to fix this we should mark transaction as finished only after
callbacks have completed

jbd2: track request delay statistics

2013-02-07T03:30:23+00:00

Track the delay between when we first request that the commit begin
and when it actually begins, so we can see how much of a gap exists.
In theory, this should just be the remaining scheduling quantuum of
the thread which requested the commit (assuming it was not a
synchronous operation which triggered the commit request) plus
scheduling overhead; however, it's possible that real time processes
might get in the way of letting the kjournald thread from executing.
