2011-08-09xfs: set cursor in xfs_ail_splice() even when AIL was emptyAlex Elder
In xfs_ail_splice(), if a cursor is provided it is updated to point to the last item on the list being spliced into the AIL. But if the AIL was found to be empty, the cursor (if provided) is just initialized instead. There is no reason the empty AIL case needs to be treated any differently. And treating it the same way allows this code to be rearranged a bit, with a somewhat tidier result. Signed-off-by: Alex Elder <aelder@sgi.com> Reviewed-by: Dave Chinner <dchinner@redhat.com>
2011-07-20xfs: convert AIL cursors to use struct list_headDave Chinner
The list of active AIL cursors uses a roll-your-own linked list with special casing for the AIL push cursor. Simplify this code by replacing the list with standard struct list_head lists, and use a separate list_head to track the active cursors. This allows us to treat the AIL push cursor as a generic cursor rather than as a special case, further simplifying the code. Further, fix the duplicate push cursor initialisation that the special case handling was hiding, and clean up all the comments around the active cursor list handling.

2011-07-20xfs: use a cursor for bulk AIL insertionDave Chinner
Delayed logging can insert tens of thousands of log items into the AIL at the same LSN. When the committing of log commit records occur, we can get insertions occurring at an LSN that is not at the end of the AIL. If there are thousands of items in the AIL on the tail LSN, each insertion has to walk the AIL to find the correct place to insert the new item into the AIL. This can consume large amounts of CPU time and block other operations from occurring while the traversals are in progress. To avoid this repeated walk, use a AIL cursor to record where we should be inserting the new items into the AIL without having to repeat the walk. The cursor infrastructure already provides this functionality for push walks, so is a simple extension of existing code. While this will not avoid the initial walk, it will avoid repeating it tens of thousands of times during a single checkpoint commit. This version includes logic improvements from Christoph Hellwig.

2011-05-09xfs: fix race condition in AIL push triggerDave Chinner
The recent conversion of the xfsaild functionality to a work queue introduced a hard-to-hit log space grant hang. One is caused by a race condition in determining whether there is a psh in progress or not. The XFS_AIL_PUSHING_BIT is used to determine whether a push is currently in progress. When the AIL push work completes, it checked whether the target changed and cleared the PUSHING bit to allow a new push to be requeued. The race condition is as follows: Thread 1 push work smp_wmb() smp_rmb() check ailp->xa_target unchanged update ailp->xa_target test/set PUSHING bit does not queue clear PUSHING bit does not requeue Now that the push target is updated, new attempts to push the AIL will not trigger as the push target will be the same, and hence despite trying to push the AIL we won't ever wake it again. The fix is to ensure that the AIL push work clears the PUSHING bit before it checks if the target is unchanged. As a result, both push triggers operate on the same test/set bit criteria, so even if we race in the push work and miss the target update, the thread requesting the push will still set the PUSHING bit and queue the push work to occur. For safety sake, the same queue check is done if the push work detects the target change, though only one of the two will will queue new work due to the use of test_and_set_bit() checks.

2011-05-09xfs: make AIL target updates and compares 32bit safe.Dave Chinner
The recent conversion of the xfsaild functionality to a work queue introduced a hard-to-hit log space grant hang. One of the problems noticed was that updates of the push target are not 32 bit safe as the target is a 64 bit value. We cannot copy a 64 bit LSN without the possibility of corrupting the result when racing with another updating thread. We have function to do this update safely without needing to care about 32/64 bit issues - xfs_trans_ail_copy_lsn() - so use that when updating the AIL push target. Also move the reading of the target in the push work inside the AIL lock, and use XFS_LSN_CMP() for the unlocked comparison during work termination to close read holes as well.

2011-05-09xfs: always push the AIL to the targetDave Chinner
The recent conversion of the xfsaild functionality to a work queue introduced a hard-to-hit log space grant hang. One of the problems discovered is a target mismatch between the item pushing loop and the target itself. The push trigger checks for the target increasing (i.e. new target > current) while the push loop only pushes items that have a LSN < current. As a result, we can get the situation where the push target is X, the items at the tail of the AIL have LSN X and they don't get pushed. The push work then completes thinking it is done, and cannot be restarted until the push target increases to >= X + 1. If the push target then never increases (because the tail is not moving), then we never run the push work again and we stall. Fix it by making sure log items with a LSN that matches the target exactly are pushed during the loop.

2011-04-08xfs: push the AIL from memory reclaim and periodic syncDave Chinner
When we are short on memory, we want to expedite the cleaning of dirty objects. Hence when we run short on memory, we need to kick the AIL flushing into action to clean as many dirty objects as quickly as possible. To implement this, sample the lsn of the log item at the head of the AIL and use that as the push target for the AIL flush. Further, we keep items in the AIL that are dirty that are not tracked any other way, so we can get objects sitting in the AIL that don't get written back until the AIL is pushed. Hence to get the filesystem to the idle state, we might need to push the AIL to flush out any remaining dirty objects sitting in the AIL. This requires the same push mechanism as the reclaim push. This patch also renames xfs_trans_ail_tail() to xfs_ail_min_lsn() to match the new xfs_ail_max_lsn() function introduced in this patch. Similarly for xfs_trans_ail_push -> xfs_ail_push.

2010-12-20xfs: remove all the inodes on a buffer from the AIL in bulkDave Chinner
When inode buffer IO completes, usually all of the inodes are removed from the AIL. This involves processing them one at a time and taking the AIL lock once for every inode. When all CPUs are processing inode IO completions, this causes excessive amount sof contention on the AIL lock. Instead, change the way we process inode IO completion in the buffer IO done callback. Allow the inode IO done callback to walk the list of IO done callbacks and pull all the inodes off the buffer in one go and then process them as a batch. Once all the inodes for removal are collected, take the AIL lock once and do a bulk removal operation to minimise traffic on the AIL lock.

2010-12-20xfs: bulk AIL insertion during transaction commitDave Chinner
When inserting items into the AIL from the transaction committed callbacks, we take the AIL lock for every single item that is to be inserted. For a CIL checkpoint commit, this can be tens of thousands of individual inserts, yet almost all of the items will be inserted at the same point in the AIL because they have the same index. To reduce the overhead and contention on the AIL lock for such operations, introduce a "bulk insert" operation which allows a list of log items with the same LSN to be inserted in a single operation via a list splice. To do this, we need to pre-sort the log items being committed into a temporary list for insertion. The complexity is that not every log item will end up with the same LSN, and not every item is actually inserted into the AIL. Items that don't match the commit LSN will be inserted and unpinned as per the current one-at-a-time method (relatively rare), while items that are not to be inserted will be unpinned and freed immediately. Items that are to be inserted at the given commit lsn are placed in a temporary array and inserted into the AIL in bulk each time the array fills up. As a result of this, we trade off AIL hold time for a significant reduction in traffic. lock_stat output shows that the worst case hold time is unchanged, but contention from AIL inserts drops by an order of magnitude and the number of lock traversal decreases significantly.

2010-02-02xfs: Don't issue buffer IO direct from AIL push V2Dave Chinner
All buffers logged into the AIL are marked as delayed write. When the AIL needs to push the buffer out, it issues an async write of the buffer. This means that IO patterns are dependent on the order of buffers in the AIL. Instead of flushing the buffer, promote the buffer in the delayed write list so that the next time the xfsbufd is run the buffer will be flushed by the xfsbufd. Return the state to the xfsaild that the buffer was promoted so that the xfsaild knows that it needs to cause the xfsbufd to run to flush the buffers that were promoted. Using the xfsbufd for issuing the IO allows us to dispatch all buffer IO from the one queue. This means that we can make much more enlightened decisions on what order to flush buffers to disk as we don't have multiple places issuing IO. Optimisations to xfsbufd will be in a future patch.

2009-11-17xfs: copy li_lsn before dropping AIL lockNathaniel W. Turner
Access to log items on the AIL is generally protected by m_ail_lock; this is particularly needed when we're getting or setting the 64-bit li_lsn on a 32-bit platform. This patch fixes a couple places where we were accessing the log item after dropping the AIL lock on 32-bit machines. This can result in a partially-zeroed log->l_tail_lsn if xfs_trans_ail_delete is racing with xfs_trans_ail_update, and in at least some cases, this can leave the l_tail_lsn with a zero cycle number, which means xlog_space_left will think the log is full (unless CONFIG_XFS_DEBUG is set, in which case we'll trip an ASSERT), leading to processes stuck forever in xlog_grant_log_space.

2008-10-30[XFS] Use a cursor for AIL traversal.David Chinner
To replace the current generation number ensuring sanity of the AIL traversal, replace it with an external cursor that is linked to the AIL. Basically, we store the next item in the cursor whenever we want to drop the AIL lock to do something to the current item. When we regain the lock. the current item may already be free, so we can't reference it, but the next item in the traversal is already held in the cursor. When we move or delete an object, we search all the active cursors and if there is an item match we clear the cursor(s) that point to the object. This forces the traversal to restart transparently. We don't invalidate the cursor on insert because the cursor still points to a valid item. If the intem is inserted between the current item and the cursor it does not matter; the traversal is considered to be past the insertion point so it will be picked up in the next traversal. Hence traversal restarts pretty much disappear altogether with this method of traversal, which should substantially reduce the overhead of pushing on a busy AIL.

2008-02-07[XFS] Move AIL pushing into it's own threadDavid Chinner
When many hundreds to thousands of threads all try to do simultaneous transactions and the log is in a tail-pushing situation (i.e. full), we can get multiple threads walking the AIL list and contending on the AIL lock. The AIL push is, in effect, a simple I/O dispatch algorithm complicated by the ordering constraints placed on it by the transaction subsystem. It really does not need multiple threads to push on it - even when only a single CPU is pushing the AIL, it can push the I/O out far faster that pretty much any disk subsystem can handle. So, to avoid contention problems stemming from multiple list walkers, move the list walk off into another thread and simply provide a "target" to push to. When a thread requires a push, it sets the target and wakes the push thread, then goes to sleep waiting for the required amount of space to become available in the log. This mechanism should also be a lot fairer under heavy load as the waiters will queue in arrival order, rather than queuing in "who completed a push first" order. Also, by moving the pushing to a separate thread we can do more effectively overload detection and prevention as we can keep context from loop iteration to loop iteration. That is, we can push only part of the list each loop and not have to loop back to the start of the list every time we run. This should also help by reducing the number of items we try to lock and/or push items that we cannot move. Note that this patch is not intended to solve the inefficiencies in the AIL structure and the associated issues with extremely large list contents. That needs to be addresses separately; parallel access would cause problems to any new structure as well, so I'm only aiming to isolate the structure from unbounded parallelism here.

2007-10-15[XFS] Radix tree based inode cachingDavid Chinner
One of the perpetual scaling problems XFS has is indexing it's incore inodes. We currently uses hashes and the default hash sizes chosen can only ever be a tradeoff between memory consumption and the maximum realistic size of the cache. As a result, anyone who has millions of inodes cached on a filesystem needs to tunes the size of the cache via the ihashsize mount option to allow decent scalability with inode cache operations. A further problem is the separate inode cluster hash, whose size is based on the ihashsize but is smaller, and so under certain conditions (sparse cluster cache population) this can become a limitation long before the inode hash is causing issues. The following patchset removes the inode hash and cluster hash and replaces them with radix trees to avoid the scalability limitations of the hashes.

2006-09-28[XFS] Add lock annotations to xfs_trans_update_ail andJosh Triplett
xfs_trans_delete_ail xfs_trans_update_ail and xfs_trans_delete_ail get called with the AIL lock held, and release it. Add lock annotations to these two functions so that sparse can check callers for lock pairing, and so that sparse will not complain about these functions since they intentionally use locks in this manner.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!
