* page_writeback: clean up mess around cancel_dirty_page()Konstantin Khlebnikov2015-04-151-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch replaces cancel_dirty_page() with a helper function account_page_cleaned() which only updates counters. It's called from truncate_complete_page() and from try_to_free_buffers() (hack for ext3). Page is locked in both cases, page-lock protects against concurrent dirtiers: see commit 2d6d7f982846 ("mm: protect set_page_dirty() from ongoing truncation"). Delete_from_page_cache() shouldn't be called for dirty pages, they must be handled by caller (either written or truncated). This patch treats final dirty accounting fixup at the end of __delete_from_page_cache() as a debug check and adds WARN_ON_ONCE() around it. If something removes dirty pages without proper handling that might be a bug and unwritten data might be lost. Hugetlbfs has no dirty pages accounting, ClearPageDirty() is enough here. cancel_dirty_page() in nfs_wb_page_cancel() is redundant. This is helper for nfs_invalidate_page() and it's called only in case complete invalidation. The mess was started in v2.6.20 after commits 46d2277c796f ("Clean up and make try_to_free_buffers() not race with dirty pages") and 3e67c0987d75 ("truncate: clear page dirtiness before running try_to_free_buffers()") first was reverted right in v2.6.20 in commit ecdfc9787fe5 ("Resurrect 'try_to_free_buffers()' VM hackery"), second in v2.6.25 commit a2b345642f53 ("Fix dirty page accounting leak with ext3 data=journal"). Custom fixes were introduced between these points. NFS in v2.6.23, commit 1b3b4a1a2deb ("NFS: Fix a write request leak in nfs_invalidate_page()"). Kludge in __delete_from_page_cache() in v2.6.24, commit 3a6927906f1b ("Do dirty page accounting when removing a page from the page cache"). Since v2.6.25 all of them are redundant.

* fs: clarify rate limit suppressed buffer I/O errorsRobert Elliott2014-10-211-16/+7
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When quiet_error applies rate limiting to buffer_io_error calls, what the they apply to is unclear because the name is so generic, particularly if the messages are interleaved with others: [ 1936.063572] quiet_error: 664293 callbacks suppressed [ 1936.065297] Buffer I/O error on dev sdr, logical block 257429952, lost async page write [ 1936.067814] Buffer I/O error on dev sdr, logical block 257429953, lost async page write Also, the function uses printk_ratelimit(), although printk.h includes a comment advising "Please don't use... Instead use printk_ratelimited()." Change buffer_io_error to check the BH_Quiet bit itself, drop the printk_ratelimit call, and print using printk_ratelimited. This makes the messages look like: [ 387.208839] buffer_io_error: 676394 callbacks suppressed [ 387.210693] Buffer I/O error on dev sdr, logical block 211291776, lost async page write [ 387.213432] Buffer I/O error on dev sdr, logical block 211291777, lost async page write Signed-off-by: Robert Elliott <elliott@hp.com> Reviewed-by: Webb Scales <webbnh@hp.com> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@fb.com>

| * vfs: fix data corruption when blocksize < pagesize for mmaped dataJan Kara2014-10-021-0/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | ->page_mkwrite() is used by filesystems to allocate blocks under a page which is becoming writeably mmapped in some process' address space. This allows a filesystem to return a page fault if there is not enough space available, user exceeds quota or similar problem happens, rather than silently discarding data later when writepage is called. However VFS fails to call ->page_mkwrite() in all the cases where filesystems need it when blocksize < pagesize. For example when blocksize = 1024, pagesize = 4096 the following is problematic: ftruncate(fd, 0); pwrite(fd, buf, 1024, 0); map = mmap(NULL, 1024, PROT_WRITE, MAP_SHARED, fd, 0); map[0] = 'a'; ----> page_mkwrite() for index 0 is called ftruncate(fd, 10000); /* or even pwrite(fd, buf, 1, 10000) */ mremap(map, 1024, 10000, 0); map[4095] = 'a'; ----> no page_mkwrite() called At the moment ->page_mkwrite() is called, filesystem can allocate only one block for the page because i_size == 1024. Otherwise it would create blocks beyond i_size which is generally undesirable. But later at ->writepage() time, we also need to store data at offset 4095 but we don't have block allocated for it. This patch introduces a helper function filesystems can use to have ->page_mkwrite() called at all the necessary moments.

This patch (of 3): guard_bh_eod() is used in submit_bh() to allow us to do IO even on the odd last sectors of a device, even if the block size is some multiple of the physical sector size. This makes guard_bh_eod() more generic and renames it guard_bio_eod() so that we can use it without struct buffer_head argument. The reason for this change is that using mpage_readpages() for block device requires to add this guard check in mpage code.

* / Fix nasty 32-bit overflow bug in buffer i/o code.Anton Altaparmakov2014-09-221-2/+4
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | On 32-bit architectures, the legacy buffer_head functions are not always handling the sector number with the proper 64-bit types, and will thus fail on 4TB+ disks. Any code that uses __getblk() (and thus bread(), breadahead(), sb_bread(), sb_breadahead(), sb_getblk()), and calls it using a 64-bit block on a 32-bit arch (where "long" is 32-bit) causes an inifinite loop in __getblk_slow() with an infinite stream of errors logged to dmesg like this: __find_get_block_slow() failed. block=6740375944, b_blocknr=2445408648 b_state=0x00000020, b_size=512 device sda1 blocksize: 512 Note how in hex block is 0x191C1F988 and b_blocknr is 0x91C1F988 i.e. the top 32-bits are missing (in this case the 0x1 at the top). This is because grow_dev_page() is broken and has a 32-bit overflow due to shifting the page index value (a pgoff_t - which is just 32 bits on 32-bit architectures) left-shifted as the block number. But the top bits to get lost as the pgoff_t is not type cast to sector_t / 64-bit before the shift. This patch fixes this issue by type casting "index" to sector_t before doing the left shift. Note this is not a theoretical bug but has been seen in the field on a 4TiB hard drive with logical sector size 512 bytes. This patch has been verified to fix the infinite loop problem on 3.17-rc5 kernel using a 4TB disk image mounted using "-o loop". Without this patch doing a "find /nt" where /nt is an NTFS volume causes the inifinite loop 100% reproducibly whilst with the patch it works fine as expected.

* sched: Remove proliferation of wait_on_bit() action functionsNeilBrown2014-07-161-9/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The current "wait_on_bit" interface requires an 'action' function to be provided which does the actual waiting. There are over 20 such functions, many of them identical. Most cases can be satisfied by one of just two functions, one which uses io_schedule() and one which just uses schedule(). So: Rename wait_on_bit and wait_on_bit_lock to wait_on_bit_action and wait_on_bit_lock_action to make it explicit that they need an action function. Introduce new wait_on_bit{,_lock} and wait_on_bit{,_lock}_io which are *not* given an action function but implicitly use a standard one. The decision to error-out if a signal is pending is now made based on the 'mode' argument rather than being encoded in the action function. All instances of the old wait_on_bit and wait_on_bit_lock which can use the new version have been changed accordingly and their action functions have been discarded. wait_on_bit{_lock} does not return any specific error code in the event of a signal so the caller must check for non-zero and interpolate their own error code as appropriate. The wait_on_bit() call in __fscache_wait_on_invalidate() was ambiguous as it specified TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE but used fscache_wait_bit_interruptible as an action function. David Howells confirms this should be uniformly "uninterruptible" The main remaining user of wait_on_bit{,_lock}_action is NFS which needs to use a freezer-aware schedule() call. A comment in fs/gfs2/glock.c notes that having multiple 'action' functions is useful as they display differently in the 'wchan' field of 'ps'. (and /proc/$PID/wchan). As the new bit_wait{,_io} functions are tagged "__sched", they will not show up at all, but something higher in the stack. So the distinction will still be visible, only with different function names (gds2_glock_wait versus gfs2_glock_dq_wait in the gfs2/glock.c case). Since first version of this patch (against 3.15) two new action functions appeared, on in NFS and one in CIFS. CIFS also now uses an action function that makes the same freezer aware schedule call as NFS.

* mm: non-atomically mark page accessed during page cache allocation where ↵Mel Gorman2014-06-051-3/+4

Once the page is visible the atomic operations are necessary which is noticable overhead when writing to an in-memory filesystem like tmpfs but should also be noticable with fast storage. The objective of the patch is to initialse the accessed information with non-atomic operations before the page is visible. The bulk of filesystems directly or indirectly use grab_cache_page_write_begin or find_or_create_page for the initial allocation of a page cache page. This patch adds an init_page_accessed() helper which behaves like the first call to mark_page_accessed() but may called before the page is visible and can be done non-atomically. The primary APIs of concern in this care are the following and are used by most filesystems. find_get_page find_lock_page find_or_create_page grab_cache_page_nowait grab_cache_page_write_begin All of them are very similar in detail to the patch creates a core helper pagecache_get_page() which takes a flags parameter that affects its behavior such as whether the page should be marked accessed or not. Then old API is preserved but is basically a thin wrapper around this core function. Each of the filesystems are then updated to avoid calling mark_page_accessed when it is known that the VM interfaces have already done the job. There is a slight snag in that the timing of the mark_page_accessed() has now changed so in rare cases it's possible a page gets to the end of the LRU as PageReferenced where as previously it might have been repromoted. This is expected to be rare but it's worth the filesystem people thinking about it in case they see a problem with the timing change. It is also the case that some filesystems may be marking pages accessed that previously did not but it makes sense that filesystems have consistent behaviour in this regard. The test case used to evaulate this is a simple dd of a large file done multiple times with the file deleted on each iterations. The size of the file is 1/10th physical memory to avoid dirty page balancing. In the async case it will be possible that the workload completes without even hitting the disk and will have variable results but highlight the impact of mark_page_accessed for async IO. The sync results are expected to be more stable. The exception is tmpfs where the normal case is for the "IO" to not hit the disk. The test machine was single socket and UMA to avoid any scheduling or NUMA artifacts. Throughput and wall times are presented for sync IO, only wall times are shown for async as the granularity reported by dd and the variability is unsuitable for comparison.

* fs: buffer: move allocation failure loop into the allocatorJohannes Weiner2013-10-171-2/+12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Buffer allocation has a very crude indefinite loop around waking the flusher threads and performing global NOFS direct reclaim because it can not handle allocation failures. The most immediate problem with this is that the allocation may fail due to a memory cgroup limit, where flushers + direct reclaim might not make any progress towards resolving the situation at all. Because unlike the global case, a memory cgroup may not have any cache at all, only anonymous pages but no swap. This situation will lead to a reclaim livelock with insane IO from waking the flushers and thrashing unrelated filesystem cache in a tight loop. Use __GFP_NOFAIL allocations for buffers for now. This makes sure that any looping happens in the page allocator, which knows how to orchestrate kswapd, direct reclaim, and the flushers sensibly. It also allows memory cgroups to detect allocations that can't handle failure and will allow them to ultimately bypass the limit if reclaim can not make progress.

* mm: vmscan: take page buffers dirty and locked state into accountMel Gorman2013-07-041-0/+34
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Page reclaim keeps track of dirty and under writeback pages and uses it to determine if wait_iff_congested() should stall or if kswapd should begin writing back pages. This fails to account for buffer pages that can be under writeback but not PageWriteback which is the case for filesystems like ext3 ordered mode. Furthermore, PageDirty buffer pages can have all the buffers clean and writepage does no IO so it should not be accounted as congested. This patch adds an address_space operation that filesystems may optionally use to check if a page is really dirty or really under writeback. An implementation is provided for for buffer_heads is added and used for block operations and ext3 in ordered mode. By default the page flags are obeyed. Credit goes to Jan Kara for identifying that the page flags alone are not sufficient for ext3 and sanity checking a number of ideas on how the problem could be addressed.

* mm: change invalidatepage prototype to accept lengthLukas Czerner2013-05-221-3/+18
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently there is no way to truncate partial page where the end truncate point is not at the end of the page. This is because it was not needed and the functionality was enough for file system truncate operation to work properly. However more file systems now support punch hole feature and it can benefit from mm supporting truncating page just up to the certain point. Specifically, with this functionality truncate_inode_pages_range() can be changed so it supports truncating partial page at the end of the range (currently it will BUG_ON() if 'end' is not at the end of the page). This commit changes the invalidatepage() address space operation prototype to accept range to be invalidated and update all the instances for it. We also change the block_invalidatepage() in the same way and actually make a use of the new length argument implementing range invalidation. Actual file system implementations will follow except the file systems where the changes are really simple and should not change the behaviour in any way .Implementation for truncate_page_range() which will be able to accept page unaligned ranges will follow as well.

We must also flag journal "metadata" bios for stable writeout, since file data can be written through the journal. Finally, the MS_SNAP_STABLE mount flag (only used by ext3) is now superfluous, so get rid of it.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We want to add a trace point to touch_buffer() but macros and inline functions defined in header files can't have tracing points. Move touch_buffer() to fs/buffer.c and make it a proper function. The new exported function is also declared inline. As most uses of touch_buffer() are inside buffer.c with nilfs2 as the only other user, the effect of this change should be negligible.

* | | mm: only enforce stable page writes if the backing device requires itDarrick J. Wong2013-02-221-1/+1
|/ / | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Create a helper function to check if a backing device requires stable page writes and, if so, performs the necessary wait. Then, make it so that all points in the memory manager that handle making pages writable use the helper function. This should provide stable page write support to most filesystems, while eliminating unnecessary waiting for devices that don't require the feature. Before this patchset, all filesystems would block, regardless of whether or not it was necessary. ext3 would wait, but still generate occasional checksum errors. The network filesystems were left to do their own thing, so they'd wait too. After this patchset, all the disk filesystems except ext3 and btrfs will wait only if the hardware requires it. ext3 (if necessary) snapshots pages instead of blocking, and btrfs provides its own bdi so the mm will never wait. Network filesystems haven't been touched, so either they provide their own stable page guarantees or they don't block at all. The blocking behavior is back to what it was before 3.0 if you don't have a disk requiring stable page writes. Here's the result of using dbench to test latency on ext2: 3.8.0-rc3: Operation Count AvgLat MaxLat ---------------------------------------- WriteX 109347 0.028 59.817 ReadX 347180 0.004 3.391 Flush 15514 29.828 287.283 Throughput 57.429 MB/sec 4 clients 4 procs max_latency=287.290 ms 3.8.0-rc3 + patches: WriteX 105556 0.029 4.273 ReadX 335004 0.005 4.112 Flush 14982 30.540 298.634 Throughput 55.4496 MB/sec 4 clients 4 procs max_latency=298.650 ms As you can see, the maximum write latency drops considerably with this patch enabled. The other filesystems (ext3/ext4/xfs/btrfs) behave similarly, but see the cover letter for those results. Signed-off-by: Darrick J.

* / vfs: add missing virtual cache flush after editing partial pagesLinus Torvalds2013-01-141-0/+1
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Andrew Morton pointed this out a month ago, and then I completely forgot about it. If we read a partial last page of a block device, we will zero out the end of the page, but since that page can then be mapped into user space, we should also make sure to flush the cache on architectures that have virtual caches. We have the flush_dcache_page() function for this, so use it. Now, in practice this really never matters, because nobody sane uses virtual caches to begin with, and they largely exist on old broken RISC arhitectures. And even if you did run on one of those obsolete CPU's, the whole "mmap and access the last partial page of a block device" behavior probably doesn't actually exist. The normal IO functions (read/write) will never see the zeroed-out part of the page that migth not be coherent in the cache, because they honor the size of the device. So I'm marking this for stable (3.7 only), but I'm not sure anybody will ever care.

* vfs: avoid "attempt to access beyond end of device" warningsLinus Torvalds2012-12-041-0/+52
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The block device access simplification that avoided accessing the (racy) block size information (commit bbec0270bdd8: "blkdev_max_block: make private to fs/buffer.c") no longer checks the maximum block size in the block mapping path. That was _almost_ as simple as just removing the code entirely, because the readers and writers all check the size of the device anyway, so under normal circumstances it "just worked". However, the block size may be such that the end of the device may straddle one single buffer_head. At which point we may still want to access the end of the device, but the buffer we use to access it partially extends past the end. The 'bd_set_size()' function intentionally sets the block size to avoid this, but mounting the device - or setting the block size by hand to some other value - can modify that block size. So instead, teach 'submit_bh()' about the special case of the buffer head straddling the end of the device, and turning such an access into a smaller IO access, avoiding the problem. This, btw, also means that unlike before, we can now access the whole device regardless of device block size setting. So now, even if the device size is only 512-byte aligned, we can read and write even the last sector even when having a much bigger block size for accessing the rest of the device. So with this, we could now get rid of the 'bd_set_size()' block size code entirely - resulting in faster IO for the common case - but that would be a separate patch.

* blkdev_max_block: make private to fs/buffer.cLinus Torvalds2012-11-301-1/+13
| | | | | | | | | | | | We really don't want to look at the block size for the raw block device accesses in fs/block-dev.c, because it may be changing from under us. So get rid of the max_block logic entirely, since the caller should already have done it anyway. That leaves the only user of this function in fs/buffer.c, so move the whole function there and make it static. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
* fs/buffer.c: make block-size be per-page and protected by the page lockLinus Torvalds2012-11-291-31/+48
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This makes the buffer size handling be a per-page thing, which allows us to not have to worry about locking too much when changing the buffer size. If a page doesn't have buffers, we still need to read the block size from the inode, but we can do that with ACCESS_ONCE(), so that even if the size is changing, we get a consistent value. This doesn't convert all functions - many of the buffer functions are used purely by filesystems, which in turn results in the buffer size being fixed at mount-time. So they don't have the same consistency issues that the raw device access can have. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
