Replace the jbd2_inode structure (which is 48 bytes) with a pointer and only allocate the jbd2_inode when it is needed --- that is, when the file system has a journal present and the inode has been opened for writing. This allows us to further slim down the ext4_inode_info structure. Signed-off-by: "Theodore Ts'o" <tytso@mit.edu>
This fixes a hang seen in jbd2_journal_release_jbd_inode on a lot of Power 6 systems running with ext4. When we get in the hung state, all I/O to the disk in question gets blocked where we stay indefinitely. Looking at the task list, I can see we are stuck in jbd2_journal_release_jbd_inode waiting on a wake up. I added some debug code to detect this scenario and dump additional data if we were stuck in jbd2_journal_release_jbd_inode for longer than 30 minutes. When it hit, I was able to see that i_flags was 0, suggesting we missed the wake up. This patch changes i_flags to be an unsigned long, uses bit operators to access it, and adds barriers around the accesses. Prior to applying this patch, we were regularly hitting this hang on numerous systems in our test environment. After applying the patch, the hangs no longer occur.

This should remove the last exclusive lock from start_this_handle(), so that we should now be able to start multiple transactions at the same time on large SMP systems. Signed-off-by: "Theodore Ts'o" <tytso@mit.edu>
Lockstat reports have shown that j_state_lock is a major source of lock contention, especially on systems with more than 4 CPU cores. So change it to be a read/write spinlock. Signed-off-by: "Theodore Ts'o" <tytso@mit.edu>
By using an atomic_t for t_updates and t_outstanding credits, this should allow us to not need to take transaction t_handle_lock in jbd2_journal_stop(). Signed-off-by: "Theodore Ts'o" <tytso@mit.edu>
__GFP_NOFAIL is going away, so add our own retry loop. Also add jbd2__journal_start() and jbd2__journal_restart() which take a gfp mask, so that file systems can optionally (re)start transaction handles using GFP_KERNEL. If they do this, then they need to be prepared to handle receiving an PTR_ERR(-ENOMEM) error, and be ready to reflect that error up to userspace. Signed-off-by: "Theodore Ts'o" <tytso@mit.edu>
OCFS2 uses t_commit trigger to compute and store checksum of the just
committed blocks. When a buffer has b_frozen_data, checksum is computed
for it instead of b_data but this can result in an old checksum being
written to the filesystem in the following scenario:
1) transaction1 is opened
2) handle1 is opened
3) journal_access(handle1, bh)
- This sets jh->b_transaction to transaction1
4) modify(bh)
5) journal_dirty(handle1, bh)
6) handle1 is closed
7) start committing transaction1, opening transaction2
8) handle2 is opened
9) journal_access(handle2, bh)
- This copies off b_frozen_data to make it safe for transaction1 to commit.
jh->b_next_transaction is set to transaction2.
10) jbd2_journal_write_metadata() checksums b_frozen_data
11) the journal correctly writes b_frozen_data to the disk journal
12) handle2 is closed
- There was no dirty call for the bh on handle2, so it is never queued for
any more journal operation
13) Checkpointing finally happens, and it just spools the bh via normal buffer
writeback. This will write b_data, which was never triggered on and thus
contains a wrong (old) checksum.
This patch fixes the problem by calling the trigger at the moment data is
frozen for journal commit - i.e., either when b_frozen_data is created by
do_get_write_access or just before we write a buffer to the log if
b_frozen_data does not exist. We also rename the trigger to t_frozen as
that better describes when it is called.

percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being included when building most .c files. percpu.h includes slab.h which in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies. percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed. Prepare for this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those headers directly instead of assuming availability. As this conversion needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is used as the basis of conversion. http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py The script does the followings. * Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that only the necessary includes are there. ie. if only gfp is used, gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h. * When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms to its surrounding. It's put in the include block which contains core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered - alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there doesn't seem to be any matching order. * If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the file. The conversion was done in the following steps. 1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h and ~3000 slab.h inclusions. The script emitted errors for ~400 files. 2. Each error was manually checked. Some didn't need the inclusion, some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or embedding .c file was more appropriate for others. This step added inclusions to around 150 files. 3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits from #2 to make sure no file was left behind. 4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed. e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually. 5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell. Most gfp.h inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros. Each slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as necessary. 6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h. 7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures were fixed. CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq). * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config. * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig * ia64 SMP allmodconfig * s390 SMP allmodconfig * alpha SMP allmodconfig * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig 8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as a separate patch and serve as bisection point. Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step 6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch. If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of the specific arch.
