2011-07-20fs: push i_mutex and filemap_write_and_wait down into ->fsync() handlersJosef Bacik
Btrfs needs to be able to control how filemap_write_and_wait_range() is called in fsync to make it less of a painful operation, so push down taking i_mutex and the calling of filemap_write_and_wait() down into the ->fsync() handlers. Some file systems can drop taking the i_mutex altogether it seems, like ext3 and ocfs2. For correctness sake I just pushed everything down in all cases to make sure that we keep the current behavior the same for everybody, and then each individual fs maintainer can make up their mind about what to do from there.

2011-07-20drivers: fix up various ->llseek() implementationsJosef Bacik
Fix up a few ->llseek() implementations that won't deal with SEEK_HOLE/SEEK_DATA properly. Make them future proof so that if we ever add new options they will return -EINVAL. Thanks, Signed-off-by: Josef Bacik <josef@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>
2011-07-20fs: handle SEEK_HOLE/SEEK_DATA properly in all fs's that define their own llseekJosef Bacik
This converts everybody to handle SEEK_HOLE/SEEK_DATA properly. In some cases we just return -EINVAL, in others we do the normal generic thing, and in others we're simply making sure that the properly due-dilligence is done. For example in NFS/CIFS we need to make sure the file size is update properly for the SEEK_HOLE and SEEK_DATA case, but since it calls the generic llseek stuff itself that is all we have to do.

2011-07-20Ext4: handle SEEK_HOLE/SEEK_DATA genericallyJosef Bacik
Since Ext4 has its own lseek we need to make sure it handles SEEK_HOLE/SEEK_DATA.

2011-07-20Btrfs: implement our own ->llseekJosef Bacik
In order to handle SEEK_HOLE/SEEK_DATA we need to implement our own llseek. Basically for the normal SEEK_*'s we will just defer to the generic helper, and for SEEK_HOLE/SEEK_DATA we will use our fiemap helper to figure out the nearest hole or data. Currently this helper doesn't check for delalloc bytes for prealloc space, so for now treat prealloc as data until that is fixed.

2011-07-20fs: add SEEK_HOLE and SEEK_DATA flagsJosef Bacik
This just gets us ready to support the SEEK_HOLE and SEEK_DATA flags. Turns out using fiemap in things like cp cause more problems than it solves, so lets try and give userspace an interface that doesn't suck. We need to match solaris here, and the definitions are *o* If /whence/ is SEEK_HOLE, the offset of the start of the next hole greater than or equal to the supplied offset is returned. The definition of a hole is provided near the end of the DESCRIPTION. *o* If /whence/ is SEEK_DATA, the file pointer is set to the start of the next non-hole file region greater than or equal to the supplied offset. So in the generic case the entire file is data and there is a virtual hole at the end. That means we will just return i_size for SEEK_HOLE and will return the same offset for SEEK_DATA. This is how Solaris does it so we have to do it the same way. Thanks, Signed-off-by: Josef Bacik <josef@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>

2011-07-20fs: move inode_dio_done to the end_io handlerChristoph Hellwig
For filesystems that delay their end_io processing we should keep our i_dio_count until the the processing is done. Enable this by moving the inode_dio_done call to the end_io handler if one exist. Note that the actual move to the workqueue for ext4 and XFS is not done in this patch yet, but left to the filesystem maintainers. At least for XFS it's not needed yet either as XFS has an internal equivalent to i_dio_count. Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de> Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>
2011-07-20fs: simplify the blockdev_direct_IO prototypeChristoph Hellwig
Simple filesystems always pass inode->i_sb_bdev as the block device argument, and never need a end_io handler. Let's simply things for them and for my grepping activity by dropping these arguments. The only thing not falling into that scheme is ext4, which passes and end_io handler without needing special flags (yet), but given how messy the direct I/O code there is use of __blockdev_direct_IO in one instead of two out of three cases isn't going to make a large difference anyway.

2011-07-20fs: always maintain i_dio_countChristoph Hellwig
Maintain i_dio_count for all filesystems, not just those using DIO_LOCKING. This these filesystems to also protect truncate against direct I/O requests by using common code. Right now the only non-DIO_LOCKING filesystem that appears to do so is XFS, which uses an opencoded variant of the i_dio_count scheme. Behaviour doesn't change for filesystems never calling inode_dio_wait. For ext4 behaviour changes when using the dioread_nonlock option, which previously was missing any protection between truncate and direct I/O reads. For ocfs2 that handcrafted i_dio_count manipulations are replaced with the common code now enable. Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de> Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>
2011-07-20fs: move inode_dio_wait calls into ->setattrChristoph Hellwig

2011-07-20fs: kill i_alloc_semChristoph Hellwig
i_alloc_sem is a rather special rw_semaphore. It's the last one that may be released by a non-owner, and it's write side is always mirrored by real exclusion. It's intended use it to wait for all pending direct I/O requests to finish before starting a truncate. Replace it with a hand-grown construct: - exclusion for truncates is already guaranteed by i_mutex, so it can simply fall way - the reader side is replaced by an i_dio_count member in struct inode that counts the number of pending direct I/O requests. Truncate can't proceed as long as it's non-zero - when i_dio_count reaches non-zero we wake up a pending truncate using wake_up_bit on a new bit in i_flags - new references to i_dio_count can't appear while we are waiting for it to read zero because the direct I/O count always needs i_mutex (or an equivalent like XFS's i_iolock) for starting a new operation. This scheme is much simpler, and saves the space of a spinlock_t and a struct list_head in struct inode (typically 160 bits on a non-debug 64-bit system).

2011-07-20fs: simplify handling of zero sized reads in __blockdev_direct_IOChristoph Hellwig

2011-07-20ext4: Rewrite ext4_page_mkwrite() to use generic helpersJan Kara
Rewrite ext4_page_mkwrite() to use __block_page_mkwrite() helper. This removes the need of using i_alloc_sem to avoid races with truncate which seems to be the wrong locking order according to lock ordering documented in mm/rmap.c. Also calling ext4_da_write_begin() as used by the old code seems to be problematic because we can decide to flush delay-allocated blocks which will acquire s_umount semaphore - again creating unpleasant lock dependency if not directly a deadlock. Also add a check for frozen filesystem so that we don't busyloop in page fault when the filesystem is frozen. Signed-off-by: Jan Kara <jack@suse.cz> Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>

2011-07-20xfs: make use of new shrinker callout for the inode cacheDave Chinner
Convert the inode reclaim shrinker to use the new per-sb shrinker operations. This allows much bigger reclaim batches to be used, and allows the XFS inode cache to be shrunk in proportion with the VFS dentry and inode caches. This avoids the problem of the VFS caches being shrunk significantly before the XFS inode cache is shrunk resulting in imbalances in the caches during reclaim.

2011-07-20vfs: increase shrinker batch sizeDave Chinner
Now that the per-sb shrinker is responsible for shrinking 2 or more caches, increase the batch size to keep econmies of scale for shrinking each cache. Increase the shrinker batch size to 1024 objects. To allow for a large increase in batch size, add a conditional reschedule to prune_icache_sb() so that we don't hold the LRU spin lock for too long. This mirrors the behaviour of the __shrink_dcache_sb(), and allows us to increase the batch size without needing to worry about problems caused by long lock hold times. To ensure that filesystems using the per-sb shrinker callouts don't cause problems, document that the object freeing method must reschedule appropriately inside loops.

2011-07-20superblock: add filesystem shrinker operationsDave Chinner
Now we have a per-superblock shrinker implementation, we can add a filesystem specific callout to it to allow filesystem internal caches to be shrunk by the superblock shrinker. Rather than perpetuate the multipurpose shrinker callback API (i.e. nr_to_scan == 0 meaning "tell me how many objects freeable in the cache), two operations will be added. The first will return the number of objects that are freeable, the second is the actual shrinker call.

2011-07-20inode: remove iprune_semDave Chinner
Now that we have per-sb shrinkers with a lifecycle that is a subset of the superblock lifecycle and can reliably detect a filesystem being unmounted, there is not longer any race condition for the iprune_sem to protect against. Hence we can remove it. Signed-off-by: Dave Chinner <dchinner@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>
2011-07-20superblock: introduce per-sb cache shrinker infrastructureDave Chinner
With context based shrinkers, we can implement a per-superblock shrinker that shrinks the caches attached to the superblock. We currently have global shrinkers for the inode and dentry caches that split up into per-superblock operations via a coarse proportioning method that does not batch very well. The global shrinkers also have a dependency - dentries pin inodes - so we have to be very careful about how we register the global shrinkers so that the implicit call order is always correct. With a per-sb shrinker callout, we can encode this dependency directly into the per-sb shrinker, hence avoiding the need for strictly ordering shrinker registrations. We also have no need for any proportioning code for the shrinker subsystem already provides this functionality across all shrinkers. Allowing the shrinker to operate on a single superblock at a time means that we do less superblock list traversals and locking and reclaim should batch more effectively. This should result in less CPU overhead for reclaim and potentially faster reclaim of items from each filesystem.

2011-07-20superblock: move pin_sb_for_writeback() to fs/super.cDave Chinner
The per-sb shrinker has the same requirement as the writeback threads of ensuring that the superblock is usable and pinned for the time it takes to run the work. Both need to take a passive reference to the sb, take a read lock on the s_umount lock and then only continue if an unmount is not in progress. pin_sb_for_writeback() does this exactly, so move it to fs/super.c and rename it to grab_super_passive() and exporting it via fs/internal.h for all the VFS code to be able to use.

2011-07-20inode: move to per-sb LRU locksDave Chinner
With the inode LRUs moving to per-sb structures, there is no longer a need for a global inode_lru_lock. The locking can be made more fine-grained by moving to a per-sb LRU lock, isolating the LRU operations of different filesytsems completely from each other.

2011-07-20inode: Make unused inode LRU per superblockDave Chinner
The inode unused list is currently a global LRU. This does not match the other global filesystem cache - the dentry cache - which uses per-superblock LRU lists. Hence we have related filesystem object types using different LRU reclaimation schemes. To enable a per-superblock filesystem cache shrinker, both of these caches need to have per-sb unused object LRU lists. Hence this patch converts the global inode LRU to per-sb LRUs. The patch only does rudimentary per-sb propotioning in the shrinker infrastructure, as this gets removed when the per-sb shrinker callouts are introduced later on.

2011-07-20inode: convert inode_stat.nr_unused to per-cpu countersDave Chinner

2011-07-20vmscan: add customisable shrinker batch sizeDave Chinner
For shrinkers that have their own cond_resched* calls, having shrink_slab break the work down into small batches is not paticularly efficient. Add a custom batchsize field to the struct shrinker so that shrinkers can use a larger batch size if they desire. A value of zero (uninitialised) means "use the default", so behaviour is unchanged by this patch. Signed-off-by: Dave Chinner <dchinner@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>
2011-07-20vmscan: reduce wind up shrinker->nr when shrinker can't do workDave Chinner
When a shrinker returns -1 to shrink_slab() to indicate it cannot do any work given the current memory reclaim requirements, it adds the entire total_scan count to shrinker->nr. The idea ehind this is that whenteh shrinker is next called and can do work, it will do the work of the previously aborted shrinker call as well. However, if a filesystem is doing lots of allocation with GFP_NOFS set, then we get many, many more aborts from the shrinkers than we do successful calls. The result is that shrinker->nr winds up to it's maximum permissible value (twice the current cache size) and then when the next shrinker call that can do work is issued, it has enough scan count built up to free the entire cache twice over. This manifests itself in the cache going from full to empty in a matter of seconds, even when only a small part of the cache is needed to be emptied to free sufficient memory. Under metadata intensive workloads on ext4 and XFS, I'm seeing the VFS caches increase memory consumption up to 75% of memory (no page cache pressure) over a period of 30-60s, and then the shrinker empties them down to zero in the space of 2-3s. This cycle repeats over and over again, with the shrinker completely trashing the inode and dentry caches every minute or so the workload continues. This behaviour was made obvious by the shrink_slab tracepoints added earlier in the series, and made worse by the patch that corrected the concurrent accounting of shrinker->nr. To avoid this problem, stop repeated small increments of the total scan value from winding shrinker->nr up to a value that can cause the entire cache to be freed. We still need to allow it to wind up, so use the delta as the "large scan" threshold check - if the delta is more than a quarter of the entire cache size, then it is a large scan and allowed to cause lots of windup because we are clearly needing to free lots of memory. If it isn't a large scan then limit the total scan to half the size of the cache so that windup never increases to consume the whole cache. Reducing the total scan limit further does not allow enough wind-up to maintain the current levels of performance, whilst a higher threshold does not prevent the windup from freeing the entire cache under sustained workloads.

2011-07-20vmscan: shrinker->nr updates race and go wrongDave Chinner
shrink_slab() allows shrinkers to be called in parallel so the struct shrinker can be updated concurrently. It does not provide any exclusio for such updates, so we can get the shrinker->nr value increasing or decreasing incorrectly. As a result, when a shrinker repeatedly returns a value of -1 (e.g. a VFS shrinker called w/ GFP_NOFS), the shrinker->nr goes haywire, sometimes updating with the scan count that wasn't used, sometimes losing it altogether. Worse is when a shrinker does work and that update is lost due to racy updates, which means the shrinker will do the work again! Fix this by making the total_scan calculations independent of shrinker->nr, and making the shrinker->nr updates atomic w.r.t. to other updates via cmpxchg loops.
