Use a percpu counter rather than atomic types for shrinker accounting. There's no need for ultimate accuracy in the shrinker, so this should come a little more cheaply. The percpu struct is somewhat large, but there was a big gap before the cache-aligned s_es_lru_lock anyway, and it fits nicely in there.

When the system is under memory pressure, ext4_es_srhink() will get called very often. So optimize returning the number of items in the file system's extent status cache by keeping a per-filesystem count, instead of calculating it each time by scanning all of the inodes in the extent status cache. Also rename the slab used for the extent status cache to be "ext4_extent_status" so it's obviousl the slab in question is created by ext4.

This fixes a regression introduced by commit f7fec032. The problem was that the extents status flags caused us to mask out block numbers smaller than 2**28 blocks. Since we didn't test with file systems smaller than 512GB, we didn't notice this during the development cycle. A typical failure looks like this: EXT4-fs error (device sdb1): htree_dirblock_to_tree:919: inode #172235804: block 152052301: comm ls: bad entry in directory: rec_len is smaller than minimal - offset=0(0), inode=0, rec_len=0, name_len=0 ... where 'debugfs -R "stat <172235804>" /dev/sdb1' reports that the inode has block number 688923213. When viewed in hex, block number 152052301 (from the syslog) is 0x910224D, while block number 688923213 is 0x2910224D. Note the missing "0x20000000" in the block number.

ext4_has_free_clusters() should tell us whether there is enough free clusters to allocate, however number of free clusters in the file system is converted to blocks using EXT4_C2B() which is not only wrong use of the macro (we should have used EXT4_NUM_B2C) but it's also completely wrong concept since everything else is in cluster units. Moreover when calculating number of root clusters we should be using macro EXT4_NUM_B2C() instead of EXT4_B2C() otherwise the result might be off by one. However r_blocks_count should always be a multiple of the cluster ratio so doing a plain bit shift should be enough here. We avoid using EXT4_B2C() because it's confusing. As a result of the first problem number of free clusters is much bigger than it should have been and ext4_has_free_clusters() would return 1 even if there is really not enough free clusters available. Fix this by removing the EXT4_C2B() conversion of free clusters and using bit shift when calculating number of root clusters. This bug affects number of xfstests tests covering file system ENOSPC situation handling. With this patch most of the ENOSPC problems with bigalloc file system disappear, especially the errors caused by delayed allocation not having enough space when the actual allocation is finally requested.

Currently when new xattr block is created or released we we would call dquot_free_block() or dquot_alloc_block() respectively, among the else decrementing or incrementing the number of blocks assigned to the inode by one block. This however does not work for bigalloc file system because we always allocate/free the whole cluster so we have to count with that in dquot_free_block() and dquot_alloc_block() as well. Use the clusters-to-blocks conversion EXT4_C2B() when passing number of blocks to the dquot_alloc/free functions to fix the problem. The problem has been revealed by xfstests #117 (and possibly others).

Although extent status is loaded on-demand, we also need to reclaim extent from the tree when we are under a heavy memory pressure because in some cases fragmented extent tree causes status tree costs too much memory. Here we maintain a lru list in super_block. When the extent status of an inode is accessed and changed, this inode will be move to the tail of the list. The inode will be dropped from this list when it is cleared. In the inode, a counter is added to count the number of cached objects in extent status tree. Here only written/unwritten/hole extent is counted because delayed extent doesn't be reclaimed due to fiemap, bigalloc and seek_data/hole need it. The counter will be increased as a new extent is allocated, and it will be decreased as a extent is freed. In this commit we use normal shrinker framework to reclaim memory from the status tree. ext4_es_reclaim_extents_count() traverses the lru list to count the number of reclaimable extents. ext4_es_shrink() tries to reclaim written/unwritten/hole extents from extent status tree. The inode that has been shrunk is moved to the tail of lru list. Signed-off-by: Zheng Liu <wenqing.lz@taobao.com> Signed-off-by: "Theodore Ts'o" <tytso@mit.edu> Cc: Jan kara <jack@suse.cz>

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.

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.

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>

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.

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.

The ext4_unlink() and ext4_rmdir() don't actually release the blocks associated with the file/directory. This gets done in a separate jbd2 handle called via ext4_evict_inode(). Thus, we don't need to reserve lots of journal credits for the truncate. Note that using too many journal credits is non-optimal because it can leading to the journal transmit getting closed too early, before it is strictly necessary.

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>

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>

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>
