2011-11-26xfs: avoid direct I/O write vs buffered I/O raceChristoph Hellwig
commit c58cb165bd44de8aaee9755a144136ae743be116 upstream. Currently a buffered reader or writer can add pages to the pagecache while we are waiting for the iolock in xfs_file_dio_aio_write. Prevent this by re-checking mapping->nrpages after we got the iolock, and if nessecary upgrade the lock to exclusive mode. To simplify this a bit only take the ilock inside of xfs_file_aio_write_checks.

2011-11-26xfs: dont serialise direct IO reads on page cacheDave Chinner
commit 0c38a2512df272b14ef4238b476a2e4f70da1479 upstream. There is no need to grab the i_mutex of the IO lock in exclusive mode if we don't need to invalidate the page cache. Taking these locks on every direct IO effective serialises them as taking the IO lock in exclusive mode has to wait for all shared holders to drop the lock. That only happens when IO is complete, so effective it prevents dispatch of concurrent direct IO reads to the same inode. Fix this by taking the IO lock shared to check the page cache state, and only then drop it and take the IO lock exclusively if there is work to be done. Hence for the normal direct IO case, no exclusive locking will occur.

2011-06-16xfs: make log devices with write back caches workChristoph Hellwig
There's no reason not to support cache flushing on external log devices. The only thing this really requires is flushing the data device first both in fsync and log commits. A side effect is that we also have to remove the barrier write test during mount, which has been superflous since the new FLUSH+FUA code anyway. Also use the chance to flush the RT subvolume write cache before the fsync commit, which is required for correct semantics.

2011-03-26xfs: preallocation transactions do not need to be synchronousDave Chinner
Preallocation and hole punch transactions are currently synchronous and this is causing performance problems in some cases. The transactions don't need to be synchronous as we don't need to guarantee the preallocation is persistent on disk until a fdatasync, fsync, sync operation occurs. If the file is opened O_SYNC or O_DATASYNC, only then should the transaction be issued synchronously.

2011-01-17fallocate should be a file operationChristoph Hellwig
Currently all filesystems except XFS implement fallocate asynchronously, while XFS forced a commit. Both of these are suboptimal - in case of O_SYNC I/O we really want our allocation on disk, especially for the !KEEP_SIZE case where we actually grow the file with user-visible zeroes. On the other hand always commiting the transaction is a bad idea for fast-path uses of fallocate like for example in recent Samba versions. Given that block allocation is a data plane operation anyway change it from an inode operation to a file operation so that we have the file structure available that lets us check for O_SYNC. This also includes moving the code around for a few of the filesystems, and remove the already unnedded S_ISDIR checks given that we only wire up fallocate for regular files.

2011-01-11xfs: serialise unaligned direct IOsDave Chinner
When two concurrent unaligned, non-overlapping direct IOs are issued to the same block, the direct Io layer will race to zero the block. The result is that one of the concurrent IOs will overwrite data written by the other IO with zeros. This is demonstrated by the xfsqa test 240. To avoid this problem, serialise all unaligned direct IOs to an inode with a big hammer. We need a big hammer approach as we need to serialise AIO as well, so we can't just block writes on locks. Hence, the big hammer is calling xfs_ioend_wait() while holding out other unaligned direct IOs from starting. We don't bother trying to serialised aligned vs unaligned IOs as they are overlapping IO and the result of concurrent overlapping IOs is undefined - the result of either IO is a valid result so we let them race. Hence we only penalise unaligned IO, which already has a major overhead compared to aligned IO so this isn't a major problem.

2011-01-11xfs: split direct IO write path from xfs_file_aio_writeDave Chinner
The current xfs_file_aio_write code is a mess of locking shenanigans to handle the different locking requirements of buffered and direct IO. Start to clean this up by disentangling the direct IO path from the mess. This also removes the failed direct IO fallback path to buffered IO. XFS handles all direct IO cases without needing to fall back to buffered IO, so we can safely remove this unused path. This greatly simplifies the logic and locking needed in the write path.

2011-01-12xfs: introduce xfs_rw_lock() helpers for locking the inodeDave Chinner
We need to obtain the i_mutex, i_iolock and i_ilock during the read and write paths. Add a set of wrapper functions to neatly encapsulate the lock ordering and shared/exclusive semantics to make the locking easier to follow and get right. Note that this changes some of the exclusive locking serialisation in that serialisation will occur against the i_mutex instead of the XFS_IOLOCK_EXCL. This does not change any behaviour, and it is arguably more efficient to use the mutex for such serialisation than the rw_sem.

2010-07-26xfs: simplify inode to transaction joiningChristoph Hellwig
Currently we need to either call IHOLD or xfs_trans_ihold on an inode when joining it to a transaction via xfs_trans_ijoin. This patches instead makes xfs_trans_ijoin usable on it's own by doing an implicity xfs_trans_ihold, which also allows us to drop the third argument. For the case where we want to hold a reference on the inode a xfs_trans_ijoin_ref wrapper is added which does the IHOLD and marks the inode for needing an xfs_iput. In addition to the cleaner interface to the caller this also simplifies the implementation. Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de> Reviewed-by: Dave Chinner <dchinner@redhat.com>

2009-09-01xfs: merge fsync and O_SYNC handlingChristoph Hellwig
The guarantees for O_SYNC are exactly the same as the ones we need to make for an fsync call (and given that Linux O_SYNC is O_DSYNC the equivalent is fdadatasync, but we treat both the same in XFS), except with a range data writeout. Jan Kara has started unifying these two path for filesystems using the generic helpers, and I've started to look at XFS. The actual transaction commited by xfs_fsync and xfs_write_sync_logforce has a different transaction number, but actually is exactly the same. We'll only use the fsync transaction going forward. One major difference is that xfs_write_sync_logforce never issues a cache flush unless we commit a transaction causing that as a side-effect, which is an obvious bug in the O_SYNC handling. Second all the locking and i_update_size vs i_update_core changes from 978b7237123d007b9fa983af6e0e2fa8f97f9934 never made it to xfs_write_sync_logforce, so we add them back. To make xfs_fsync easily usable from the O_SYNC path, the filemap_fdatawait call is moved up to xfs_file_fsync, so that we don't wait on the whole file after we already waited for our portion in xfs_write. We'll also use a plain call to filemap_write_and_wait_range instead of the previous sync_page_rang which did it in two steps including an half-hearted inode write out that doesn't help us. Once we're done with this also remove the now useless i_update_size tracking.

xfs_fsync() fails to wait for data I/O completion before checking if the inode is dirty or clean to decide whether to log the inode or not. This misses inode size updates when the data flushed by the fsync() is extending the file. Hence, like fdatasync(), we need to wait for I/o completion first, then check the inode for cleanliness. Doing so makes the behaviour of xfs_fsync() identical for fsync and fdatasync and we *always* use synchronous semantics if the inode is dirty.
