2017-09-06ceph: queue cap snap only when snap realm's context changesYan, Zheng
If we create capsnap when snap realm's context does not change, the new capsnap's snapc is equal to ci->i_head_snapc. Page writeback code can't differentiates dirty pages associated with the new capsnap from dirty pages associated with i_head_snapc.

2016-07-28ceph: cleanup ceph_flush_snaps()Yan, Zheng
This patch devide __ceph_flush_snaps() into two stags. In the first stage, __ceph_flush_snaps() assign snapcaps flush TIDs and add them to cap flush lists. __ceph_flush_snaps() keeps holding the i_ceph_lock in this stagge. So inode's auth cap can not change. In the second stage, __ceph_flush_snaps() send flushsnap cap messages. i_ceph_lock is unlocked before sending each cap message. If auth cap changes in the middle, __ceph_flush_snaps() just stops. This is OK because kick_flushing_inode_caps() will re-send flushsnap cap messages to inode's new auth MDS.

2016-03-25ceph: kill ceph_empty_snapcIlya Dryomov
ceph_empty_snapc->num_snaps == 0 at all times. Passing such a snapc to ceph_osdc_alloc_request() (possibly through ceph_osdc_new_request()) is equivalent to passing NULL, as ceph_osdc_alloc_request() uses it only for sizing the request message. Further, in all four cases the subsequent ceph_osdc_build_request() is passed NULL for snapc, meaning that 0 is encoded for seq and num_snaps and making ceph_empty_snapc entirely useless. The two cases where it actually mattered were removed in commits 860560904962 ("ceph: avoid sending unnessesary FLUSHSNAP message") and 23078637e054 ("ceph: fix queuing inode to mdsdir's snaprealm").

2015-09-08ceph: fix queuing inode to mdsdir's snaprealmYan, Zheng
During MDS failovers, MClientSnap message may cause kclient to move some inodes from root directory's snaprealm to mdsdir's snaprealm and queue snapshots for these inodes. For a FS has never created any snapshot, both root directory's snaprealm and mdsdir's snaprealm share the same snapshot contexts (both are ceph_empty_snapc). This confuses ceph_put_wrbuffer_cap_refs(), make it unable to distinguish snapshot buffers from head buffers. The fix is do not use ceph_empty_snapc as snaprealm's cached context.

2015-06-25ceph: set i_head_snapc when getting CEPH_CAP_FILE_WR referenceYan, Zheng
In most cases that snap context is needed, we are holding reference of CEPH_CAP_FILE_WR. So we can set ceph inode's i_head_snapc when getting the CEPH_CAP_FILE_WR reference, and make codes get snap context from i_head_snapc. This makes the code simpler. Another benefit of this change is that we can handle snap notification more elegantly. Especially when snap context is updated while someone else is doing write. The old queue cap_snap code may set cap_snap's context to ether the old context or the new snap context, depending on if i_head_snapc is set. The new queue capp_snap code always set cap_snap's context to the old snap context. Signed-off-by: Yan, Zheng <zyan@redhat.com>
2015-06-25ceph: use empty snap context for uninline_data and get_pool_permYan, Zheng
Cached_context in ceph_snap_realm is directly accessed by uninline_data() and get_pool_perm(). This is racy in theory. both uninline_data() and get_pool_perm() do not modify existing object, they only create new object. So we can pass the empty snap context to them. Unlike cached_context in ceph_snap_realm, we do not need to protect the empty snap context. Signed-off-by: Yan, Zheng <zyan@redhat.com>
2015-02-19ceph: improve reference tracking for snaprealmYan, Zheng
When snaprealm is created, its initial reference count is zero. But in some rare cases, the newly created snaprealm is not referenced by anyone. This causes snaprealm with zero reference count not freed. The fix is set reference count of newly snaprealm to 1. The reference is return the function who requests to create the snaprealm. When the function finishes its job, it releases the reference. Signed-off-by: Yan, Zheng <zyan@redhat.com>

2011-12-07ceph: use i_ceph_lock instead of i_lockSage Weil
We have been using i_lock to protect all kinds of data structures in the ceph_inode_info struct, including lists of inodes that we need to iterate over while avoiding races with inode destruction. That requires grabbing a reference to the inode with the list lock protected, but igrab() now takes i_lock to check the inode flags. Changing the list lock ordering would be a painful process. However, using a ceph-specific i_ceph_lock in the ceph inode instead of i_lock is a simple mechanical change and avoids the ordering constraints imposed by igrab().

2011-02-04ceph: queue cap_snaps once per realmSage Weil
We were forming a dirty list, and then queueing cap_snaps for each realm _and_ its children, regardless of whether the children were already in the dirty list. This meant we did it twice for some realms. Which in turn meant we corrupted mdsc->snap_flush_list when the cap_snap was re-added to the list it was already on, and could trigger an infinite loop. We were also using recursion to do reach all the children, a no-no when stack is limited. Instead, (re)queue any children on the dirty list, avoiding processing anything twice and avoiding any recursion. Signed-off-by: Sage Weil <sage@newdream.net>
2010-10-20ceph: factor out libceph from Ceph file systemYehuda Sadeh
This factors out protocol and low-level storage parts of ceph into a separate libceph module living in net/ceph and include/linux/ceph. This is mostly a matter of moving files around. However, a few key pieces of the interface change as well: - ceph_client becomes ceph_fs_client and ceph_client, where the latter captures the mon and osd clients, and the fs_client gets the mds client and file system specific pieces. - Mount option parsing and debugfs setup is correspondingly broken into two pieces. - The mon client gets a generic handler callback for otherwise unknown messages (mds map, in this case). - The basic supported/required feature bits can be expanded (and are by ceph_fs_client).

2010-09-17ceph: only send one flushsnap per cap_snap per mds sessionSage Weil

To fix this, we: - move inodes completely to the new (split) realm so that i_snap_realm is correct, and - generate the new snapc's _before_ queueing the cap_snaps in ceph_update_snap_trace().

We used to use i_head_snapc to keep track of which snapc the current epoch of dirty data was dirtied under. It is used by queue_cap_snap to set up the cap_snap. However, since we queue cap snaps for any dirty caps, not just for dirty file data, we need to keep a valid i_head_snapc anytime we have dirty|flushing caps.

2010-04-01ceph: fix leaked inode ref due to snap metadata writeback raceSage Weil
We create a ceph_cap_snap if there is dirty cap metadata (for writeback to mds) OR dirty pages (for writeback to osd). It is thus possible that the metadata has been written back to the MDS but the OSD data has not when the cap_snap is created. This results in a cap_snap with dirty(caps) == 0. The problem is that cap writeback to the MDS isn't necessary, and a FLUSHSNAP cap op gets no ack from the MDS. This leaves the cap_snap attached to the inode along with its inode reference. Fix the problem by dropping the cap_snap if it becomes 'complete' (all pages written out) and dirty(caps) == 0 in ceph_put_wrbuffer_cap_refs(). Also, BUG() in __ceph_flush_snaps() if we encounter a cap_snap with dirty(caps) == 0. Signed-off-by: Sage Weil <sage@newdream.net>
2010-03-30include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking ↵Tejun Heo
implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h 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.

Ceph snapshots rely on client cooperation in determining which operations apply to which snapshots, and appropriately flushing snapshotted data and metadata back to the OSD and MDS clusters. Because snapshots apply to subtrees of the file hierarchy and can be created at any time, there is a fair bit of bookkeeping required to make this work. Portions of the hierarchy that belong to the same set of snapshots are described by a single 'snap realm.' A 'snap context' describes the set of snapshots that exist for a given file or directory.
