For removed files, get_maintainer.pl doesn't find any maintainers (besides the default linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org), as it only looks at the "+++" lines, which are "/dev/null" for removals. Fix this by extending the parsing to the "---" lines.

I'm testing swapout workload in a two-socket Xeon machine. The workload has 10 threads, each thread sequentially accesses separate memory region. TLB flush overhead is very big in the workload. For each page, page reclaim need move it from active lru list and then unmap it. Both need a TLB flush. And this is a multthread workload, TLB flush happens in 10 CPUs. In X86, TLB flush uses generic smp_call)function. So this workload stress smp_call_function_many heavily. Without patch, perf shows: + 24.49% [k] generic_smp_call_function_interrupt - 21.72% [k] _raw_spin_lock - _raw_spin_lock + 79.80% __page_check_address + 6.42% generic_smp_call_function_interrupt + 3.31% get_swap_page + 2.37% free_pcppages_bulk + 1.75% handle_pte_fault + 1.54% put_super + 1.41% grab_super_passive + 1.36% __swap_duplicate + 0.68% blk_flush_plug_list + 0.62% swap_info_get + 6.55% [k] flush_tlb_func + 6.46% [k] smp_call_function_many + 5.09% [k] call_function_interrupt + 4.75% [k] default_send_IPI_mask_sequence_phys + 2.18% [k] find_next_bit swapout throughput is around 1300M/s. With the patch, perf shows: - 27.23% [k] _raw_spin_lock - _raw_spin_lock + 80.53% __page_check_address + 8.39% generic_smp_call_function_single_interrupt + 2.44% get_swap_page + 1.76% free_pcppages_bulk + 1.40% handle_pte_fault + 1.15% __swap_duplicate + 1.05% put_super + 0.98% grab_super_passive + 0.86% blk_flush_plug_list + 0.57% swap_info_get + 8.25% [k] default_send_IPI_mask_sequence_phys + 7.55% [k] call_function_interrupt + 7.47% [k] smp_call_function_many + 7.25% [k] flush_tlb_func + 3.81% [k] _raw_spin_lock_irqsave + 3.78% [k] generic_smp_call_function_single_interrupt swapout throughput is around 1400M/s. So there is around a 7% improvement, and total cpu utilization doesn't change. Without the patch, cfd_data is shared by all CPUs. generic_smp_call_function_interrupt does read/write cfd_data several times which will create a lot of cache ping-pong. With the patch, the data becomes per-cpu. The ping-pong is avoided. And from the perf data, this doesn't make call_single_queue lock contend. Next step is to remove generic_smp_call_function_interrupt() from arch code.

This provides a band-aid to provide stable page writes on jbd without needing to backport the fixed locking and page writeback bit handling schemes of jbd2. The band-aid works by using bounce buffers to snapshot page contents instead of waiting. For those wondering about the ext3 bandage -- fixing the jbd locking (which was done as part of ext4dev years ago) is a lot of surgery, and setting PG_writeback on data pages when we actually hold the page lock dropped ext3 performance by nearly an order of magnitude. If we're going to migrate iscsi and raid to use stable page writes, the complaints about high latency will likely return. We might as well centralize their page snapshotting thing to one place.

Darrick J. Wong authored
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:

This patchset ("stable page writes, part 2") makes some key modifications to the original 'stable page writes' patchset. First, it provides creators (devices and filesystems) of a backing_dev_info a flag that declares whether or not it is necessary to ensure that page contents cannot change during writeout. It is no longer assumed that this is true of all devices (which was never true anyway). Second, the flag is used to relaxed the wait_on_page_writeback calls so that wait only occurs if the device needs it. Third, it fixes up the remaining disk-backed filesystems to use this improved conditional-wait logic to provide stable page writes on those filesystems. It is hoped that (for people not using checksumming devices, anyway) this patchset will give back unnecessary performance decreases since the original stable page write patchset went into 3.0. Sorry about not fixing it sooner. Complaints were registered by several people about the long write latencies introduced by the original stable page write patchset. Generally speaking, the kernel ought to allocate as little extra memory as possible to facilitate writeout, but for people who simply cannot wait, a second page stability strategy is (re)introduced: snapshotting page contents. The waiting behavior is still the default strategy; to enable page snapshotting, a superblock flag (MS_SNAP_STABLE) must be set. This flag is used to bandaid^Henable stable page writeback on ext3[1], and is not used anywhere else. Given that there are already a few storage devices and network FSes that have rolled their own page stability wait/page snapshot code, it would be nice to move towards consolidating all of these. It seems possible that iscsi and raid5 may wish to use the new stable page write support to enable zero-copy writeout. Thank you to Jan Kara for helping fix a couple more filesystems. Per Andrew Morton's request, here are the result of using dbench to measure latencies 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, for ext2 the maximum write latency decreases from ~60ms on a laptop hard disk to ~4ms. I'm not sure why the flush latencies increase, though I suspect that being able to dirty pages faster gives the flusher more work to do. On ext4, the average write latency decreases as well as all the maximum latencies: 3.8.0-rc3: WriteX 85624 0.152 33.078 ReadX 272090 0.010 61.210 Flush 12129 36.219 168.260 Throughput 44.8618 MB/sec 4 clients 4 procs max_latency=168.276 ms 3.8.0-rc3 + patches: WriteX 86082 0.141 30.928 ReadX 273358 0.010 36.124 Flush 12214 34.800 165.689 Throughput 44.9941 MB/sec 4 clients 4 procs max_latency=165.722 ms XFS seems to exhibit similar latency improvements as ext2: 3.8.0-rc3: WriteX 125739 0.028 104.343 ReadX 399070 0.005 4.115 Flush 17851 25.004 131.390 Throughput 66.0024 MB/sec 4 clients 4 procs max_latency=131.406 ms 3.8.0-rc3 + patches: WriteX 123529 0.028 6.299 ReadX 392434 0.005 4.287 Flush 17549 25.120 188.687 Throughput 64.9113 MB/sec 4 clients 4 procs max_latency=188.704 ms ...and btrfs, just to round things out, also shows some latency decreases: 3.8.0-rc3: WriteX 67122 0.083 82.355 ReadX 212719 0.005 2.828 Flush 9547 47.561 147.418 Throughput 35.3391 MB/sec 4 clients 4 procs max_latency=147.433 ms 3.8.0-rc3 + patches: WriteX 64898 0.101 71.631 ReadX 206673 0.005 7.123 Flush 9190 47.963 219.034 Throughput 34.0795 MB/sec 4 clients 4 procs max_latency=219.044 ms Before this patchset, all filesystems would block, regardless of whether or not it was necessary. ext3 would wait, but still generate occasional checksum errors.

Network filesystems haven't been touched, so either they provide their own wait code, 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. This patchset has been tested on 3.8.0-rc3 on x64 with ext3, ext4, and xfs. I've spot-checked 3.8.0-rc4 and seem to be getting the same results as -rc3. [1] The alternative fixes to ext3 include fixing the locking order and page bit handling like we did for ext4 (but then why not just use ext4?), or setting PG_writeback so early that ext3 becomes extremely slow. I tried that, but the number of write()s I could initiate dropped by nearly an order of magnitude. That was a bit much even for the author of the stable page series! :) This patch: Creates a per-backing-device flag that tracks whether or not pages must be held immutable during writeout. Eventually it will be used to waive wait_for_page_writeback() if nothing requires stable pages. Signed-off-by: -

I recently made the mistake of writing: foo = lockdep_dereference_protected(..., lockdep_assert_held(...)); which is clearly bogus. If lockdep is disabled in the config this would cause a compile failure, if it is enabled then it compiles and causes a puzzling warning about dereferencing without the correct protection. Wrap the macro in "do { ... } while (0)" to also fail compile for this when lockdep is enabled.
