2013-02-18ext4: lookup block mapping in extent status treeZheng Liu
After tracking all extent status, we already have a extent cache in memory. Every time we want to lookup a block mapping, we can first try to lookup it in extent status tree to avoid a potential disk I/O. A new function called ext4_es_lookup_extent is defined to finish this work. When we try to lookup a block mapping, we always call ext4_map_blocks and/or ext4_da_map_blocks. So in these functions we first try to lookup a block mapping in extent status tree. A new flag EXT4_GET_BLOCKS_NO_PUT_HOLE is used in ext4_da_map_blocks in order not to put a hole into extent status tree because this hole will be converted to delayed extent in the tree immediately.

2013-02-18ext4: track all extent status in extent status treeZheng Liu
By recording the phycisal block and status, extent status tree is able to track the status of every extents. When we call _map_blocks functions to lookup an extent or create a new written/unwritten/delayed extent, this extent will be inserted into extent status tree. We don't load all extents from disk in alloc_inode() because it costs too much memory, and if a file is opened and closed frequently it will takes too much time to load all extent information. So currently when we create/lookup an extent, this extent will be inserted into extent status tree. Hence, the extent status tree may not comprehensively contain all of the extents found in the file. Here a condition we need to take care is that an extent might contains unwritten and delayed status simultaneously because an extent is delayed allocated and could be allocated by fallocate. At this time we need to keep delayed status because later we need to update delayed reservation space using it.

2013-02-18ext4: add physical block and status member into extent status treeZheng Liu
This commit adds two members in extent_status structure to let it record physical block and extent status. Here es_pblk is used to record both of them because physical block only has 48 bits. So extent status could be stashed into it so that we can save some memory. Now written, unwritten, delayed and hole are defined as status. Due to new member is added into extent status tree, all interfaces need to be adjusted.

2013-02-14ext4: refactor code to read directory blocks into ext4_read_dirblock()Theodore Ts'o
The code to read in directory blocks and verify their metadata checksums was replicated in ten different places across fs/ext4/namei.c, and the code was buggy in subtle ways in a number of those replicated sites. In some cases, ext4_error() was called with a training newline. In others, in particularly in empty_dir(), it was possible to call ext4_dirent_csum_verify() on an index block, which would trigger false warnings requesting the system adminsitrator to run e2fsck. By refactoring the code, we make the code more readable, as well as shrinking the compiled object file by over 700 bytes and 50 lines of code. Signed-off-by: "Theodore Ts'o" <tytso@mit.edu>

2013-02-09jbd2: use module parameters instead of debugfs for jbd_debugTheodore Ts'o
There are multiple reasons to move away from debugfs. First of all, we are only using it for a single parameter, and it is much more complicated to set up (some 30 lines of code compared to 3), and one more thing that might fail while loading the jbd2 module. Secondly, as a module paramter it can be specified as a boot option if jbd2 is built into the kernel, or as a parameter when the module is loaded, and it can also be manipulated dynamically under /sys/module/jbd2/parameters/jbd2_debug. So it is more flexible. Ultimately we want to move away from using jbd_debug() towards tracepoints, but for now this is still a useful simplification of the code base.

2013-02-09ext4: start handle at the last possible moment when creating inodesTheodore Ts'o
In ext4_{create,mknod,mkdir,symlink}(), don't start the journal handle until the inode has been succesfully allocated. In order to do this, we need to start the handle in the ext4_new_inode(). So create a new variant of this function, ext4_new_inode_start_handle(), so the handle can be created at the last possible minute, before we need to modify the inode allocation bitmap block.

2013-02-09ext4: fix the number of credits needed for acl ops with inline dataTheodore Ts'o
Operations which modify extended attributes may need extra journal credits if inline data is used, since there is a chance that some extended attributes may need to get pushed to an external attribute block. Changes to reflect this was made in xattr.c, but they were missed in fs/ext4/acl.c. To fix this, abstract the calculation of the number of credits needed for xattr operations to an inline function defined in ext4_jbd2.h, and use it in acl.c and xattr.c. Also move the function declarations used in inline.c from xattr.h (where they are non-obviously hidden, and caused problems since ext4_jbd2.h needs to use the function ext4_has_inline_data), and move them to ext4.h.

2013-02-09ext4: grab page before starting transaction handle in write_begin()Theodore Ts'o
The grab_cache_page_write_begin() function can potentially sleep for a long time, since it may need to do memory allocation which can block if the system is under significant memory pressure, and because it may be blocked on page writeback. If it does take a long time to grab the page, it's better that we not hold an active jbd2 handle. So grab a handle on the page first, and _then_ start the transaction handle. This commit fixes the following long transaction handle hold time: postmark-2917 [000] .... 196.435786: jbd2_handle_stats: dev 254,32 tid 570 type 2 line_no 2541 interval 311 sync 0 requested_blocks 1 dirtied_blocks 0 Signed-off-by: "Theodore Ts'o" <tytso@mit.edu> Reviewed-by: Jan Kara <jack@suse.cz>
2013-02-08ext4: pass context information to jbd2__journal_start()Theodore Ts'o
So we can better understand what bits of ext4 are responsible for long-running jbd2 handles, use jbd2__journal_start() so we can pass context information for logging purposes. The recommended way for finding the longer-running handles is: T=/sys/kernel/debug/tracing EVENT=$T/events/jbd2/jbd2_handle_stats echo "interval > 5" > $EVENT/filter echo 1 > $EVENT/enable ./run-my-fs-benchmark cat $T/trace > /tmp/problem-handles This will list handles that were active for longer than 20ms. Having longer-running handles is bad, because a commit started at the wrong time could stall for those 20+ milliseconds, which could delay an fsync() or an O_SYNC operation. Here is an example line from the trace file describing a handle which lived on for 311 jiffies, or over 1.2 seconds: postmark-2917 [000] .... 196.435786: jbd2_handle_stats: dev 254,32 tid 570 type 2 line_no 2541 interval 311 sync 0 requested_blocks 1 dirtied_blocks 0 Signed-off-by: "Theodore Ts'o" <tytso@mit.edu>

Track the delay between when we first request that the commit begin and when it actually begins, so we can see how much of a gap exists. In theory, this should just be the remaining scheduling quantuum of the thread which requested the commit (assuming it was not a synchronous operation which triggered the commit request) plus scheduling overhead; however, it's possible that real time processes might get in the way of letting the kjournald thread from executing.

2013-02-04ext4: optimize mballoc for large allocationsTheodore Ts'o
The ext4 block allocator only maintains buddy bitmaps for chunks which are less than or equal to one quarter of a block group. That is, for a file aystem with a 1k blocksize, and where the number of blocks in a block group is 8192 blocks, the largest chunk size tracked by buddy bitmaps is 2048 blocks. For a file system with a 4k blocksize, and where the number of blocks in a block group is 32768 blocks, the largest chunk size tracked by buddy bitmaps is 8192 blocks. To work around this code, mballoc.c before this commit would truncate allocation requests to the number of blocks in a block group minus 10. Why 10? Aside from being a completely arbitrary number, it avoids block allocation to be a power of two larger than 25% of the block group. If you try to explicitly fallocate 50% of the block group size, this will demonstrate the problem; the block allocation code will scan the all of the blocks in the file system with cr==0 (since the request is for a natural power of two), but then completely fail for all blocks groups, since the buddy bitmaps don't track chunk sizes of 50% of the block group. To fix this, in these we use ext4_mb_complex_scan_group() instead of ext4_mb_simple_scan_group(). Signed-off-by: "Theodore Ts'o" <tytso@mit.edu> Cc: Andreas Dilger <adilger@dilger.ca>
