* block: Correct handling of bottom device misaligmentMartin K. Petersen2010-01-111-4/+13
| | | | | | | | | | | | The top device misalignment flag would not be set if the added bottom device was already misaligned as opposed to causing a stacking failure. Also massage the reporting so that an error is only returned if adding the bottom device caused the misalignment. I.e. don't return an error if the top is already flagged as misaligned.

The driver can perform a 3 source calculation with a single descriptor, but needs an extended descriptor to process up to 8 sources in one operation. However, in the p-disabled case only one extra source is needed. When continuing a p-disabled operation there are occasions (i.e. 0 < src_cnt % 8 < 3) where the tail operation does not need an extended descriptor. Properly account for this fact otherwise invalid 'dmacount' values will be written to hardware usually causing the channel to halt with 'invalid descriptor' errors.

The latter problem is usually invisible, because maximum transfer size per chunk is 16M, but if you artificially set this limit lower, the driver fails. Since cookies are also used in chunk management, both these problems are fixed in one patch. As side effects a possible memory leak, when descriptors are prepared, but not submitted, and multiple races have also been fixed.

The root cause of this BUG() was caused by the fact that ext4_calc_metadata_amount() can severely over-estimate how many metadata blocks will be needed, especially when using direct block-mapped files. In addition, it can also badly *under* estimate how much space is needed, since ext4_calc_metadata_amount() assumes that the blocks are contiguous, and this is not always true. If the application is writing blocks to a sparse file, the number of metadata blocks necessary can be severly underestimated by the functions ext4_da_reserve_space(), ext4_da_update_reserve_space() and ext4_da_release_space(). This was the cause of the dq_claim_space reports found on kerneloops.org. Unfortunately, doing this right means that we need to massively over-estimate the amount of free space needed. So in some cases we may need to force the inode to be written to disk asynchronously in to avoid spurious quota failures. http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14936 Signed-off-by: "Theodore Ts'o" <tytso@mit.edu>

Originally there was a (misguided) attempt prevent wbc.nr_to_write from going negative. In fact, it's necessary to allow nr_to_write to be negative so that wb_writeback() can correctly calculate how many pages were actually written.

This is because we reserve worst-case metadata for delalloc writes, and when data is allocated that worst-case reservation is not usually needed. When freespace is low, kicking off an async writeback will start converting that worst-case space usage into something more realistic, almost always freeing up space to continue. This resolves the testcase for me, and survives all 4 generic ENOSPC tests in xfstests. We'll still need a hard synchronous sync to squeeze out the last bit, but this fixes things up to a large degree.

| * | | | | fs-writeback: Add helper function to start writeback if idleEric Sandeen2009-12-232-0/+18

Writing out delalloc data will convert those worst-case predictions into usually smaller actual usage, freeing up space before we hit ENOSPC based on this speculation. Thanks to Jens for the suggestion for the helper function, & the naming help. I've made the helper return status on whether writeback was started even though I don't plan to use it in the ext4 patch; it seems like it would be potentially useful to test this in some cases.

The loop contains gotos to cleanup, which also frees b_entry_name and buffer. Some of these gotos are before the reinitializations of b_entry_name and buffer. To maintain the invariant that b_entry_name and buffer are NULL at the top of the loop, and thus acceptable arguments to kfree, these variables are now set to NULL after the kfrees. This seems to be the simplest solution. A more complicated solution would be to introduce more labels in the error handling code at the end of the function. A simplified version of the semantic match that finds this problem is as follows: (http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/) // <smpl> @r@ identifier E; expression E1; iterator I; statement S; @@ *kfree(E); ... when != E = E1 when != I(E,...)
